Rise From the Humble

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 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 a slap and nothing at all.

"My minister, Zhu Ping'an, takes the decree to thank you, and my emperor is long live, long live, long live." Zhu Ping'an touched the ground with both hands, kowtowed to the leader to thank him, and took the second decree respectfully with both hands.

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.

Well.

There is actually one?

Are you a wholesale imperial decree? !

Hearing this, Zhu Pingan raised his head and glanced at Eunuch Jia speechlessly, then leaned over and continued to pose to receive the order.

And the 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 decree 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 decree is more vivid. It is made of three kinds of silk, yellow, blue and red, which shows that the imperial decree 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.

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

Looking back at Bai Meisheng with a smile, the house is full of pink and black colorless

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.

Be radiant.

It overwhelmed the old lady of the Marquis of Linhuai, Miss Six and others who were on the side and couldn't breathe.

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.

Although many hostesses in the house are called Young Madam, Madam, and Old Madam, in fact, strictly speaking, their names are not justified.

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.

Wufeng Wupin is called a lady.

The fifth-rank pleasant person and above are called Gaoming, that is, the wife of Gaoming, and the sixth-rank Anren and below are called imperial orders.

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

Seal your wife and son!

For women in the Ming Dynasty, wives were valued by their husbands, and their wives and sons were sealed. Because their husbands were excellent, they were awarded the emperor's imperial order or imperial order, which was almost the highest dream and honor they could only dream of.

Having such a title allows you to stand out over others and be in an absolute dominant position when chatting with women around you, and win 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 edicts 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.

Therefore, when Eunuch Jia read out the imperial edict to confer Li Shu as a fifth-rank pleasant person, all the women in the Marquis of Linhuai’s mansion all had green eyes, and looked at the dazzling new fifth-rank pleasant person—Li Shu with envy and hatred. .

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

They were all granted by the way when their husbands inherited the title, and they were the shadow of their ancestors. It can be said that their titles were also inherited.

It's not that their wives are expensive based on their husbands, or that their husbands are powerful, but that their husband's ancestors are powerful.

One is the inherited title, and the other is the title obtained by ability, which is more important, at a glance.

They felt at this moment, just like the honorable sons who inherited the title, unable to straighten their backs or lift 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 ones are the female family members who have no titles except for the old lady and madam of the Linhuai Hou Mansion. Especially young ladies and young ladies of the younger generation.

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

Among them, Miss Six of the Hou Mansion was the most irritated.

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's internal assistant, 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, always bathes with cow's milk and flowers. The whole prodigal bitch, how can she be a 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.

Even if she is fighting eight poles, she, Li Shu, is not up to Keqin's helper, virtuous and virtuous.

Whoooo!

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 her brother-in-law.

I'm furious.
