Chapter 1020: Too many people may not make it easy to work
Chu Qing was a marquis and was still indifferent to the eyes of the officialdom.
It's still the same problem - gender, origin.
Women are not trustworthy, and it is a consensus in this society. If you want to correct them, it is difficult to reach the sky.
Origin represents a person's foundation. Chu Qingzhen is duckweed and has no roots.
Without family support, you just popped out of the crack of the stone.
When you think what you do is enough to respect you and call you the "Sage of the Monkey King", in the eyes of the officialdom, you are just a "Bima Wen".
What is a Marquis of Linyang? All he earns is a Marquis.
In the past, a veterinarian was awarded the title of Marquis just for curing the plague that was prevalent in the army's war horses.
People also have to give him a golden crown, python robe, and jade belt. The honor is great enough, right? Isn’t it just a famous veterinarian, who takes him seriously?
Are they still a man or a veterinarian, and they are not better than you, a village woman? But as long as you have no family support, you can’t even be considered a scallion.
Who takes your dipping sauce?
The more Chu Qing thought about it, the worse he became. He drank the whole pot of herbal tea in one breath, but he still couldn't relieve himself.
"Dongdong!" Chu Zhuang's voice sounded again: "Master, Li Yi, a gentry in Huai'en County, sent someone to send a message to him."
"Master, the wife of the magistrate of Yunkai County also sent someone to send a message to him..." Chu Li came to report again.
In the next few days, there were a large pile of visits and invitations almost every day.
Most of them want to visit the house, and some invite them to attend some flower-watching banquet.
Behind these posts, one or more girls are hidden, and their father and brother have the highest rank of the sixth rank.
Chu Qing couldn't get angry anymore and sighed: "It's all human beings! The movements of the inspectors and the censors are under their control."
The staff of his own family are not to say anything. What the inspector censor said will not be spread. There is no need for the inspector censor himself to spread it himself. That is not the same as giving a gold to the Linyang Hou?
Then it could only be passed on by the people from the Huai'en County Office who were with him.
The inspector and the censor arrived in Ganzhou first, and the county governments in each county would probably send people to pay attention. Then, the entire Ganzhou Prefecture would go to Chu Qing to scan his face, so there would be nothing incomprehensible.
"Maybe the magistrate of Ganzhou Prefecture will also send someone to come." Chu Li reminded: "Will you meet at that time?"
Chu Qing disagreed: "No, don't you read it? In other people's heart, my son is a family of officials under the sixth rank. Moreover, they have not come to the house to talk about things, so they are posting me to come to the house."
The prefect is from the fifth rank.
While talking to Chu Li, Chu Zhuang came in with another post: "Master, the butler of the Ganzhou magistrate's house sent a message to him, saying that the magistrate's wife wanted to bring her daughter to visit."
Chu Li just saw Chu Qing without blinking her eyes. She clearly wanted to say: Look, there are sixth grade or above.
Chu Qing wondered: "No, I remember hearing from Mr. Huang's third son that the new Ganzhou prefect was sent from Beijing;
He said his wife was very good at giving birth to a son, and she started giving birth to a daughter when she got married, and she gave birth to three sons in a row. Then she was tired and recuperated for three years and gave birth to another one, but she didn't say she had a daughter."
Chu Zhuang was aware of this: "I know this, and Lord Huang later said that the prefect had two concubines in his family, and he specialized in giving birth to a daughter, and he did not give birth to a son;
But at that time, Mr. Huang was impatient and pulled you to study the water truck, and probably you didn’t listen to it all.”
Chu Qing: "... Then my son is now worthy of a concubine from the fifth-rank official's family?"
While Xiaobao is not in front of you, make fun of him quickly, otherwise there will be no chance.
Those little officials were having fun secretly. Fortunately, Xiaobao was not in front of him, otherwise they might have been cheated, and at the worst they would have to lose everything.
*********************
Kyoto, the Queen's Palace.
"Your Majesty, are you really planning to let Chu Qing's son come to an end this year?" The queen was so slight and familiar with the road, and easily helped the emperor with loose clothes. Today is the fifteenth day, and the emperor sleeps here.
"That kid is good at learning," the emperor cooperated with the queen's movements and raised his arms and neck. He liked the queen's style of doing whatever she did.
Unlike those concubines who help with clothes, they also have to twist their waists and hips to show off their figure. Who is the main person and who is the time to do it?
"Then... I really want Zhaohua..." the queen hesitated.
"What, do you think I have a bad idea?" the emperor asked.
"I don't dare!" said the queen hurriedly.
"Hey, don't panic, I don't mean to blame you, you can say whatever you think!" the emperor said, he really had no other meaning.
The queen helped the emperor sit on the side of the case and brewed a bowl of milk powder.
It is much more convenient to have milk powder and is ready to use it. Otherwise, you will never get fresh milk on this hot summer night.
"I think the child seems to be still young, two years younger than Zhaohua," said the queen, "How can I take care of our daughter?"
"Our daughter", for the royal family, our son and daughter can only be the queen, and so on, it can indeed make the emperor consider the problem with the mentality of a father.
Ordinary families will choose to choose people who are close to their parents when looking for marriage for their children, and men are two or three years older than women.
This is because people generally believe that girls should have a mature mind earlier than boys, so boys are older and sensible; and girls are short-lived and younger than one or two years younger, which is conducive to young couples growing old together.
Of course, there is also a saying that "female junior high school, holding gold bricks", but it is a minority after all.
But that was just the home of ordinary people, and the royal family didn't think so.
Although the queen hopes that the emperor can have the thinking of the people, it is obviously not successful because the queen herself cannot do it.
Therefore, the queen's ideas are more "separate", or rather inappropriate, but the conclusions obtained are consistent with the people-
Since the world belongs to the emperor, the emperor's daughter has a wide range of choices for spouses, why choose a child? Don't you worry about the princess when she turns back?
"I think Zhaohua seems to have a good impression of the boy of the Chu family," the emperor said, "I remember, Zhaohua seemed to be very good at talking to that boy when he was seven or eight years old, right?"
This is true.
When the emperor mentioned this, the queen remembered that Xiaobao had been quarrel with Zhaohua for the first time with Chu Qing to the palace.
At that time, the princess hoped that Chu Qing and his son could stay for dinner. Xiaobao opened his mouth and agreed. The princess felt that Xiaobao did not seek his mother's opinion, so Xiaobao refuted the princess and did not obtain the queen's consent.
Thinking of this, the queen was also happy: "Not to say, she was like a pair of happy enemies at that time."
However, the queen asked: "Their family is not of high origins after all, Zhaohua is a princess after all. If you point out a prince consort with such a background, it is probably to damage Zhaohua's reputation."
Chu Qing was born as a village woman, so he promised Zhaohua to Xiaobao. Wouldn't he be less married than those of the high-ranking daughters in Kyoto?
The emperor said, "That's why that kid ended this year. I will take care of him when the time comes. As long as the child doesn't hand in the blank paper, he will always be given a ranking."
