After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Li Xiangping and Yuan Huiniang stood neatly in Yan Qingqing's yard with their younger siblings and all the servants in the family.

Before Yan Qingqing could speak, they knelt down and said, "Madam, I am very happy. I congratulate you on being awarded the title of Ming Zhaoshuo."

Seeing this, Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Everyone, get up, you have all worked hard during this time.

Today is a double blessing for our family, as each person is rewarded with three months of monthly gifts. "

As soon as Yan Qingqing finished speaking, there was another cheer in the yard.

Then Yan Qingqing said: "Since I have rewarded you, I will take advantage of this good day to announce one more thing.

Ah Da is the one who has been at home the longest, and also the one who has been with me the longest.

Although he is still young and has insufficient qualifications, his loyalty and ability are obvious to everyone, so today I announce the official promotion of Ada to the position of general manager of the family. "

Ah Da was a little stunned when he heard this. Madam actually promoted him to be the chief manager.

Although A'er and the others often joked in private about how much his wife valued him and raised him as half a son, the position of chief steward would be his sooner or later.

But Ada knew that he was not yet twenty this year and still lacked experience and experience.

Even if Madam really wants to promote him to be the general manager, it will take a few years.

He never expected that his wife would promote him so quickly.

You must know that their wife is not an ordinary business woman now. Instead, he was a Ming Zhaoshuo person conferred by the emperor, with a third-grade title.

Even in the Great Yan Dynasty, this level was one of the most prestigious.

Then the weight of his position as the general manager is self-evident.

To put it bluntly, the Li family currently has no children born from a concubine. If there were any children, his weight as the general manager would probably be heavier than theirs.

Ah Er, who was on the side, saw that Ah Da was a little stupid, so he quickly tugged on his sleeves and said, "Why don't you thank me quickly, Madam? If you don't want me to come, Chief Manager!"

Only then did Ada come back to his senses, took a step forward, knelt on the ground with a bang, kowtowed heavily to Yan Qingqing, and then said: "Thank you madam for the promotion. I will do my best to be loyal to madam in the future, and I will definitely live up to madam's love for her." Small expectations.”

Yan Qingqing looked at him and smiled: "Okay, get up quickly.

My wife sees your loyalty and ability. Although you are a little young, you have always been calm in your work.

You remember that I promoted you because of your outstanding abilities and because of my wife’s recognition of you.

I trust you when I entrust you with the position of general manager. Just go ahead and do it.

As long as you don't violate the law or use your power to bully others, I will take care of you no matter what happens. "

Ah Da was even more moved after hearing this. How could he not know what Yan Qingqing meant? Madam was obviously afraid that he would not be able to convince the public and deliberately said this to support him.

Ada was moved and became more and more loyal to Yan Qingqing. Even if he was asked to die for Yan Qingqing now, he would probably not hesitate.

Yan Qingqing glanced at the others and said: "I respect Ada, so naturally I respect you too.

Many of you have been entrusted with important responsibilities even though my wife has not assigned you specific positions.

I have noticed your daily performance, and in the future I plan to set up two deputy general managers under Ada.

So as long as you work hard, there are still opportunities.

In addition to the stewards in the outer courtyard, I also plan to have a few stewards in the inner courtyard.

I won’t talk about my ability, but my loyalty comes first. "

After Yan Qingqing finished speaking, the servants of the Li family were also excited. They entered the Li family at about the same time sooner or later, and they all had opportunities.

Even if they don't think about it for themselves, they should think about it for their descendants.

They have been sold into slavery, and it is unlikely that they will be returned to good status in the future.

But looking at the current prospects of the Li family, the future prospects are also limitless.

If they can work as stewards in the house, the marriage and children's treatment from the master's family will definitely be better than that of others in the future.

Yan Qingqing also wanted this effect.

Only when a person has a goal can he be motivated, and she didn't learn those skills in vain.

Yan Qingqing knew that everyone was tired today, so he waved his hand and told them to go down and rest early.

After Ah Da led the people to retreat, Li Xiangping, brother and sister were still very excited, and followed Yan Qingqing into the house.

Yan Qingqing looked at the others helplessly and said, "What's wrong with you guys? Why don't you go and rest? Aren't you tired after a long day of work?"

Li Xiangping rubbed his hands and said nothing, but Li Xiangan took the lead and said: "Mom, how can we sleep after such a happy thing.

You are now a third-grade imperial conferred by the emperor, which is completely different from the fifth-grade imperial edict. "

Li Xiangping also echoed: "Yes, mother, aren't these Shuo people all fourth-grade people? How can the emperor grant you the third-grade title?"

After all, Li Xiangping is now an eighth-grade agricultural officer, and he is quite familiar with the grades of officials.

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "I don't know much about this. Maybe the emperor thinks that this cotton is a great thing to benefit the country and the people, and he wants a heavy reward.

But our family’s foundation is too shallow, so we shouldn’t reward it too much.

Besides, my mother was only awarded this fifth-level title last year. It would be too eye-catching if she were upgraded two levels in a row this year.

I'm afraid some ministers in the court were opposed to it, so the emperor came up with such a compromise. "

Li Xiangping nodded when he heard this. He felt that Yan Qingqing's analysis was very reasonable. However, with this title of third-grade imperial edict, there is no need to salute when meeting a serious third-grade lady.

Yan Qingqing thought that she would ask Xiao Mochen when she had time. After all, this official was appointed by his father, and he should know best what the emperor meant.

However, Xiao Mochen was out for something during this period, and Yan Qingqing couldn't find him for a while.

Seeing that she had finished asking all the questions, Li Yueniang pulled up Yan Qingqing's sleeves and said coquettishly: "Mom, the emperor has given us something good, please open our eyes too."

Yan Qingqing glanced at her and said with a smile: "You girl, you are quite clever. I can't do it without you."

Li Yueniang laughed twice. She now had silver in her hand, and there was no shortage of various jewelry.

But she doesn't have this gift from the emperor. It would be good if she could have one or two.

Of course, Li Yueniang was not thinking about herself. She thought that if Li Xiniang could have one or two pieces of jewelry given by the emperor, her situation in the Wu family would be much better.

But she didn't dare to say this in front of Yan Qingqing, because she was afraid that Yan Qingqing would disagree.

Because Yan Qingqing has never mentioned Li Xinniang since she got married.

Of course Yan Qingqing didn't know what she was thinking.

In the end, Yan Qingqing asked Ruyi to open the warehouse and let them go in to pick.

Yan Qingqing's eyes darkened when he saw Li Yueniang choosing a set of sapphire heads and a red gold walking stick, but then he sighed.

When your children are older and have their own ideas, let them be.
