Chapter 686

As the saying goes, gold flows in August, unlike in the south of the Yangtze River. The capital city located in the north is now decaying and yellow, and the frost forest is full of dyed like a drunkenness.

In the Xiaofang, the osmanthus flowers are fragrant in the backyard of Jing'anbo Xu Mansion. The young master Xu Kang, who is nearly one and a half years old, learns to walk and is struggling to chase a girl in the palace dress under the osmanthus tree in the yard.

The girl in the palace dress is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is slim and has a picturesque face. She is exactly the little pepper of Fei Xiaoyu. Fei Xiaoyu ran in front while waving the cloth doll in her hand, yelling and attracting Xiao Xukang to chase her. She is as lively and active as ever, not at all quiet as her two cousins.

Xiao Xukang was white and fat, and his little butt twisted left and right when he ran, so cute. The child's attention was difficult to concentrate for a long time. Soon, Xiao Xukang was attracted by a group of passing ants. He squatted and watched curiously, allowing Fei Xiaoyu to jump and scream, but just ignored her.

In the pavilion not far away, Xie Xiaowan was doing needlework, and from time to time raised her crescent-like eyes, paying attention to her baby son playing under the osmanthus tree, with a gentle smile on her pretty face.

Although her son is one and a half years old, Xie Xiaowan, the girl, is only nineteen years old this year. If she was in the future, she would be the age of college, and it would be the stage of youth as gorgeous as a flower. In recent years, she has been pampering, and her skin has become tender and white and rosy, and her body has become more and more plump and round, but she has become more feminine and more dignified and elegant.

Next to it, Fei Ruyi was cooking tea, and the pretty face of Yichen and Yixi had a leisurely and quiet expression. On the other side, Fei Jixiang was holding an account book and lay lazily on the Xiangfei couch, turning the page absent-mindedly. The round curve between his waist and hips was particularly attractive. Only Xu Jin, who had tasted it, knew how perfect and charming this delicate body was without any flaws.

It is said that since her son was born, Xie Xiaowan has devoted all her attention to her son, and Fei Ruyi is gentle and gentle. She usually takes care of some flowers and plants, cooks tea or writes some graceful poems. In this way, Fei Jixiang, who has a generous personality, has taken on the heavy responsibility of managing the family, for example, she is now taking care of the industries under Xu Jin's name.

Of course, Fei Jixiang cannot show up in public to do business. She only cares about the accounts and never interferes in the specific management. She just comes to check the accounts every month, and becomes more and more capable.

Because Fei Jixiang often walks outside, he is naturally more informed, unlike those women who have lived in the boudoir for a long time. Especially in the political and cultural center of the capital, all major events in the Ming Dynasty will be reflected here first.

Now the entire Ming Dynasty is focusing on the anti-Japanese battlefield on the southeast coast, and his own men are at the center of the focus. Fei Jixiang is naturally very concerned about it, so Fei Jixiang is also very clear about the current public opinion trends in the court.

At this time, Fei Ruyi finally finished cooking tea and poured a cup for everyone. When she saw her sister Fei Jixiang was frowning, she asked softly: "Sister, is the war on the southeast coast still not going well now?"

Fei Jixiang nodded and said, "There is indeed no progress. Now many people in the court are impeaching their husbands, asking them to call them back to Beijing to question them, and let Wang Shouren take over as the governor of Zhizhe."

Fei Ruyi's pretty face turned pale and she said worriedly: "What should I do?"

Xie Xiaowan also looked worried, but she was much calmer. On the one hand, she had confidence in her husband, and on the other hand, she was confident that as long as her husband was not defeated, the emperor would be in charge. It would be impossible for her to summon her husband back to Beijing to question the crime just because someone impeached him.

At this time, Fei Xiaoyu came in with Xu Kang in. After hearing the discussion of the three girls, the little pepper immediately said unanimously: "How many victories have Xu Jin won over the years? Even he has not made any progress. It proves that the war on the coast is really difficult. Humph, if I am the emperor, whoever submits a memorial will impeach Xu Jin will send him to the front line to fight. If you can't win, you will be caught and question it immediately. Let's see who dares to talk nonsense."

Fei Ruyi said angrily: "Fifth sister, if you really want to be like you said, wouldn't that be a mess? The censor is not guilty of being punished for words, and is advised and supervised is the responsibility of the censor. If he is punished at any time, who dares to make suggestions in the future?"

While the girls were chatting, the housekeeper Dabao walked in with a happy face and reported: "Three ladies, if you have an imperial edict, come to the front to receive the edict."

The Xu family was deeply loved by the saints. He did not receive a few imperial edicts in a year, so the whole family was very calm. Xie Xiaowan, Fei Ruyi, and Fei Jixiang changed into grand clothes and led a group of maids to the front yard. At this time, the incense table had already been set up.

The old acquaintance who came to be responsible for the promulgation this time was the old acquaintance, the eunuch Huang Jin. The eunuch Huang was smiling at the moment. When he saw Xie Xiaowan, he took the lead and bowed: "I have met Princess Yongxiu, two Mrs. Xu."

Xie Xiaowan and others quickly returned the gift. Everyone politely asked. Huang Jin then took out the imperial edict and coughed lightly, "Princess Yongxiu and the two Mrs. Xu to accept the edict."

The meaning is very obvious. The imperial edict was issued to the three of them. Xie Xiaowan and the three girls hurriedly knelt in front of the incense table.

Huang Jin opened the imperial edict and chanted loudly: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the command said:..."

The beginning of this imperial edict is written in a colorful and colorful way, and it is obvious that it was written by the Hanlin Academy's pens. After praising the virtuous and kindness of Xie Xiaowan and the Fei sisters, the real purpose was revealed at the end of the imperial edict. Xie Xiaowan was named the third-rank imperial wife, and Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang were appointed as the fifth-rank imperial wife.

After the imperial edict was finished, the Xu family was so excited that they smiled happily. The emperor's title of the wife of the imperial edict was a great honor. Fei Ruyi's maid was painted and Fei Jixiang's maid and servant almost cried with joy. Her lady married into the Xu family as a concubine. Although the emperor gave her marriage, she was wronged after all. Now she has been named the wife of the imperial edict. Who dares to make a joke?

The so-called wife of the imperial decree is the reward of the wife or mother of an official from the court. The ranks correspond to the officials and the officials are divided into one to nine ranks, and they also receive the honor, but they just don’t care about the affairs, which is a kind of honor.

Xie Xiaowan, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang were so happy that they were a little dizzy, and excitedly thanked him for his gratitude.

Although the emperor favored the Xu family, it was impossible to reward the wife of the imperial decree for no reason, and the cabinet would not allow the wife of the imperial decree for no reason. Therefore, the three women had only one reason, that is, their husbands won a battle in Jiangnan, and their wife was noble by their husbands.
