Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 801 Is the imperial decree worthless?

Today is really a day full of twists and turns. I was fined one hundred and sixty taels of silver one second, and was promoted from the fifth rank in the next second. Emperor Jiajing really deserves to be the great leader of Ming Dynasty. Give a sweet date, this trick is really slippery.

  Of course, this is better than giving him a slap and nothing at all.

   "Minister Zhu Ping'an took the edict to thank you, long live my emperor." Zhu Ping put his hands on the ground, kowtowed to the leader to thank him, and took the second edict with both hands respectfully.

   Li Shu and other female relatives also kowtowed again.

  After receiving the second imperial decree, Zhu Pingan thought that there would be no third imperial decree, so he was ready to get up again and put the two imperial decrees together on the incense table to worship.

   "Hehe, Mrs. Zhu, don't worry, there is still an imperial decree from the miscellaneous family." Eunuch Jia waved his hand again with a smile.

Uh.

   There is actually one?

   Are you a wholesaler? !

  Zhu Ping'an heard the words, looked up at Eunuch Jia speechlessly, then leaned over and continued to pose for the order.

  Is there an imperial decree? What is the decree this time?

The old lady of the Hou Mansion, Miss Six and other female relatives once again opened their mouths in surprise. This imperial decree is worthless. Why did they announce three imperial decrees at once? They have never heard of any minister who has received such treatment. .

The third imperial edict unfolded by Eunuch Jia is also made of black ox horn shaft, and there are also two flying golden dragons at the first place, but the color of the imperial edict is more vivid. It is made of three kinds of silk, yellow, blue and red, which shows that the imperial edict is very colorful. Beautiful, with a graceful and luxurious joy.

After unfolding, Mr. Jia began to read the imperial decree: "Following the heavens, the emperor said: "The country favors the ministers, but must be with the family, so the foundation of human relations is also the foundation of human relations. Walking in the Hanlin Academy to serve as a bachelor, and the director of Wuyi Palace Lang, Li's family in Zhu Ping'an's room, Keqin's internal helper, virtuous and virtuous, worthy of the ancients, hereby named as a pleasant person, obey this long grace, don't forget to be a warning, Qinzai.'June 27th, 30th year of Jiajing."

   This edict is very short, less than a hundred words (there were no punctuation marks in ancient times), and Eunuch Jia finished reading it out quickly.

  But this short imperial decree had a much greater impact on Linhuaihou Mansion than the previous two imperial decrees.

  Looking back at Bai Meisheng with a smile, there is no color in the house

After Li Shu listened from below, her big watery eyes were smiling, charming and charming, her small cherry mouth raised a beautiful arc, and the smile bloomed on her ruddy, lustrous pretty face, like a blooming red plum , full of arrogance.

   is radiant.

   Overwhelmed the old lady of Linhuaihou Mansion, Miss Six and others beside her.

   Pleasant! This is an imperial title.

  From this day on, Li Shu suddenly became the imperial lady with the title of fifth-rank pleasant, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

  Don't look at the fact that many hostesses in the house are called Young Madam, Madam, and Old Madam. Strictly speaking, they are all wrong names.

Strictly speaking, in the Ming Dynasty, the first-rank and second-rank officials' wives were called "Madam", and the mother-in-law was called "Tai Furen"; It is a child.

  No seal and no product is called a lady.

  Pleasant people of the fifth rank and above are called Gaoming, that is, Mrs. Gaoming, and Anren of the sixth rank and below are called imperial orders.

  Gaoming Madam, Gaoming Madam, that is to say, in Daming, only mistresses with titles of Yiren and above can be called Madam, and those without a title can only be called "Lady".

  Secret your wife and son!

  For women in the Ming Dynasty, wives are valued by their husbands, and their wives are bestowed with yin and sons. Because their husbands are outstanding, they are bestowed with imperial orders or orders from the emperor. This is almost the highest dream and honor they have ever dreamed of.

  Having such a title allows you to be superior and in an absolute dominant position when chatting with women around you, and to gain the envy and jealousy of everyone, but they can't do anything to you.

   But in Daming, it was very difficult to obtain such a gift.

  Generally speaking, only officials with outstanding achievements have the opportunity to receive imperial decrees from the emperor.

You know, there are dozens of hostesses in the huge Linhuaihou mansion, but only the old lady of Linhuaihou and Mrs. Linhuaihou have imperial titles, and there are no other aunts, aunts, wives, etc. The titles; and the titles of the old lady and the lady are also the titles given by the emperor according to the usual practice when the old Marquis of Linhuai and the current Marquis of Linhuai inherited the title.

  So, when Eunuch Jia read out the decree that Li Shu was a fifth-rank pleasant person, the eyes of all the women in Linhuaihou's mansion all turned green, and they looked at the dazzling new fifth-rank pleasant person—Li Shu with envy and hatred.

  Even the old lady Linhuai Hou and his wife who already have titles, they can't help being envious and jealous.

  They were all granted titles when their husbands inherited the title. They are the shadows of their ancestors. It can be said that their titles were also inherited.

   It's not that their wives are more expensive than their husbands, it's not that their husbands are powerful, but that their husbands' ancestors are powerful.

  One is an inherited title, and the other is a title obtained by merit. It is clear at a glance which is more important.

  They felt at this moment, just like the honorable children who inherited the title, unable to straighten their waists or raise their heads in front of the officials who entered the imperial examination, they still felt a little guilty.

For Li Shu's title of being a pleasant person, the maids and maids in the mansion can only envy, at most they are jealous. They dare not have hatred. Li Shu is already above them, and as maids, they are destined to have no gain in this life. Opportunity to gift. However, the female family members of the Hou Mansion are different. Originally, Li Shu was in the same rank as them, but now that Li Shu has soared into the sky, they naturally have thoughts of envy and hatred.

  Therefore, among the female family members of the Hou Mansion, the most irritated are the female family members who have no titles except for the old lady and wife of the Linhuai Hou Mansion. Especially young ladies and young ladies of the younger generation.

  Especially especially Miss Six, Miss Four, Miss Three and other Misses of the Hou Mansion.

   Among them, Miss Six of the Hou Mansion was the one who was most stimulated.

Miss Six had already had a very bad feeling when she heard Eunuch Jia read that "the country favors the ministers, but must be with the family". Virtue, worthy of the ancients, Zi Te named as pleasant", Miss Six's pretty face was deformed with envy and jealousy, and the handkerchief in her hand had already been pierced several holes by nails.

   Keqin internal helper, virtuous and virtuous?

  Is the emperor blind? Where is she, Li Shu, who works hard as a helper, is virtuous and virtuous? !

  She, Li Shu, bathes with cow and goat milk and flowers. The whole prodigal bitch, where is Keqin's helper!

She Li Shu always judges people with her chin, framed and bullied her sisters, even stripped the girl's clothes, made people kneel in front of the public, whipped the girl, framed the girl, one by one, one by one, any one It can be seen that she has a heart of snakes and scorpions. How can she, Li Shu, be virtuous and virtuous.

   It's just fighting against each other. She, Li Shu, and Keqin's helper are not up to the level of virtuous and virtuous.

   Woohoo!

  Why, why should Li Shu, an uneducated, savage, and unreasonable village girl who has only been married for less than half a year, be granted the title of imperial wife!

   Isn’t it just married!

  Where she has me, she is no longer worthy of a brother-in-law.

I'm furious.
