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

Ling Ziyuan looked at Ah Da and just wanted to scold her. Who the hell wants to be Yan Qingqing's son?

However, Ling Ziyuan held back forcefully. After all, in Ada's heart, Yan Qingqing was her biological mother.

If he cursed Ada to his mother, wouldn't it be equivalent to scolding Yan Qingqing? He really didn't have the guts.

So Ling Ziyuan pushed Ah Da when he was angry, and Ah Da felt even more confused when he saw this.

Master Ling could be suffering from some serious illness or his brain was damaged by drinking. He was kind enough to support him, but he actually pushed him.

If his wife hadn't ordered him to do so, he wouldn't have cared about this.

When Yan Qingqing returned home, her family members had learned that she had been registered as a first-class imperial concubine, and they were all waiting at the door.

After Yan Qingqing got off the carriage, Yuan Huiniang and her entire family knelt on the ground and said, "Congratulations, mother, congratulations to the imperial conferment on the first rank."

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Okay, okay, get up quickly, the ground is still weirdly cold."

Yuan Huiniang and the others stood up after hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, Butler Yu led the maids and servants at home to kneel down on the ground.

Butler Yu said: "Congratulations, madam, on your promotion to the first rank. I wish our Mingzhao Mansion will continue to prosper."

Yan Qingqing looked at the servants who were kneeling on the ground and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone, get up, you usually do a good job, madam, I can see it.

Today, I received another blessing from the Emperor, which can be regarded as a happy event.

The maids and servants above the management level and those who serve in each room will all be rewarded with a monthly salary for one year, and the others will be rewarded with a monthly salary for half a year. "

These servants all grinned happily after hearing this. This must be too generous of their wives.

Yan Qingqing has never been a stingy person. As long as her servants are loyal, she will never be stingy with rewards.

Ruyi and Ruxue have the best understanding of what to eat, use and wear.

To be honest, their lives now are better than those of ordinary ladies in the families of petty officials.

They had been following Yan Qingqing for so long, and each of them had two rare items in their hands. Especially Ruyi, when she got married, Yan Qingqing gave her a lot of great things.

So everyone was so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear when they heard that Yan Qingqing had rewarded him so much all at once.

They really have a good master. The masters of Mingzhao Mansion never try to tease their servants for no reason, and their monthly salary is almost the highest in the capital.

Who wouldn't envy them now that they could sell themselves to Mingzhao Mansion?

In the past, when Mrs. Mingzhao did not come to Beijing, the maids and servants in other mansions often laughed at them as slaves without a master.

Although there is usually no shortage of their monthly subscriptions, it is impossible to get reward money.

After going out, they didn't dare to say anything when they were bullied, because they had no one to protect them.

But things are different now. After Mrs. Mingzhao came to Beijing and angrily attacked the Wu family, she became an instant success. During the Chinese New Year, she even gave each of them a big red envelope.

Now they are even more proud when they go out, and even many maids and servants from other houses have taken the initiative to befriend them.

But Butler Yu had told them that anyone who showed kindness to them should be careful at all times and don't fall into other people's traps, otherwise no one would be able to protect them when the time comes.

They are not stupid, and naturally know that they have an agenda, so those who want to trick them or take the opportunity to ask them to do things are rejected mercilessly by them.

Yan Qingqing's reaction to these people was naturally clear. The secret guards she brought into Beijing were not vegetarians.

Especially Butler Yu, she is the one who attracts the most attention.

Yan Qingqing is quite satisfied with Butler Yu's performance so far.

So Yan Qingqing looked at Butler Yu and said: "Butler Yu, you have worked hard during this period. You have managed these people in the family very well. I have taken care of two Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. You have to go and help me with your time."

Butler Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. Yan Qingqing's words meant that he recognized him.

So he quickly said: "My servant is the steward of Mingzhao Mansion, and this is my responsibility.

Please rest assured, Madam, I will go to those two Zhuangzi tomorrow. I believe that the Zhuangzi that Madam likes must be excellent. "

Although Butler Yu had no intention of betraying Yan Qingqing from the beginning, Yan Qingqing came from a small place after all. In his heart, he didn't value Yan Qingqing that much, or he wasn't that convinced by Yan Qingqing.

But since Yan Qingqing came to Beijing to do several important things, Butler Yu was convinced of Yan Qingqing.

And this time she entered the palace and became the first-class Mrs. Mingzhao.

Just ask all the dignitaries in the capital who have this ability.

But they have a wife, and there is no reason why he should not be loyal to such a master who is capable and does not bother his servants.

Although the masters may not have much trust in him at the beginning, their feelings are not developed over time.

From the beginning, Butler Yu knew that as long as he worked hard, Yan Qingqing would reuse him sooner or later.

Yan Qingqing doesn't care about Butler Yu's petty thoughts. As long as she is loyal to her, she will not hesitate to give them a chance.

After giving these instructions to Butler Yu, Yan Qingqing took Yuan Huiniang and the others back to her yard.

Just now outside, they all had to act like their masters, and their excitement was not brought out.

Everyone let go after entering Yan Qingqing's yard.

[Mom, isn’t this the highest rank? 】

[Mom, how come you were promoted to a level just after entering the palace? 】

[Mom, can I walk sideways in the capital from now on? 】

…………

A lot of nonsense questions came one after another, and Yan Qingqing knew that these children couldn't hold it in any longer.

Of course, they don't necessarily want answers to these questions, but they think it's really amazing that their mother has become a genuine one.

Look at Li Xiangyang and Li Jinqian rolling on the ground with joy.

After they had all finished asking and their excitement had subsided, Yan Qingqing said, "Okay, the emperor's canonization decree will probably arrive tomorrow.

Although my mother is now a first-class lady, there are many dignitaries in the capital.

We are still far behind the Duke's house.

But you don’t have to worry when you go out to socialize. Although my mother’s first-class status was not earned through fighting on the battlefield, she was also earned through hard work.

Also, I need to bring enough people when I go out to socialize in the future. "

Yan Qingqing's salt production will definitely hinder some people's affairs. If they can't cause trouble for Yan Qingqing, there is no guarantee that they won't start with her children.

After speaking, Yan Qingqing glanced at Mu Xi again.

Mu Xi nodded understandingly. In addition to the maids and servants on the surface, she would also send secret guards to each master in private.

Besides, Li Xiangan and the others are also good at kung fu. Although they are not at the level of masters, they can still deal with a few ordinary people.

Early the next morning, the emperor indeed made a decree to canonize Yan Qingqing as a first-grade imperial edict.

The imperial edict was read out by Xiao Mochen himself.

Every family in the capital had different reactions after hearing the news of Yan Qingqing's promotion.

Some don't care, some are happy for Yan Qingqing, and naturally some are gnashing their teeth in hatred.

But no matter what, these people still have to show off, and Yan Qingqing is merciless in accepting gifts.
