Today is really a day that has a lot of twists and turns. One second he was fined 160 taels of silver, and the next second he was promoted from the fifth rank. Emperor Jiajing is truly worthy of being a great leader of the Ming Dynasty. He slaps him first.
Give me another sweet date, this trick is really cool
Of course, this is better than a slap in the face and nothing.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Pingan, received the edict to express my gratitude. Long live my emperor." Zhu Pingan touched the ground with both hands, kowtowed the edict to express his gratitude, and respectfully received the second imperial edict with both hands.
Li Shu and other female family members also kowtowed again.
After receiving the second imperial edict, Zhu Ping'an thought that there could be no third imperial edict now, so he once again prepared to stand up and place the two imperial edicts together on the incense table to enshrine them.
"Haha, don't be anxious, Mr. Xiao Zhu, there is still an edict from the Za family that has not been announced." Eunuch Jia smiled again and waved his hand.
Well.
There is actually one?
Are you a wholesaler of imperial edicts?!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ping'an looked up at Eunuch Jia speechlessly, then leaned over and continued to pose to receive the order.
And what is the imperial edict for? What does this imperial edict do?
The old lady of the Hou Mansion, Miss Sixth and other female relatives were once again surprised and opened their mouths. This imperial edict is worthless. Why are three imperial edicts issued at once? They have never heard of any minister receiving such treatment.
.
The third imperial edict unfolded by Eunuch Jia was also made of black horns, with two flying golden dragons at the beginning. However, the color of the edict was more vivid. It was made of yellow, green and red silk. The imperial edict was very colorful.
Beautiful, with a graceful and luxurious atmosphere.
After unfolding it, Eunuch Jia began to read out the imperial edict: "By the fate of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: 'The country favors its ministers and must treat their families, so it is the foundation of human relations. I am studying as a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, and I am the director of Wuyi Palace. Lang, the Li family in Zhu Ping'an's house, is diligent and supportive, capable and virtuous, and worthy of the ancients. I am specially named Yiren. I obey this great grace and never Don't forget to be a warning. I am so grateful. 'June 27th, the 30th year of Jiajing's reign."
This imperial edict was very short, with less than a hundred words (there was no punctuation in ancient times), and Eunuch Jia read it out quickly.
However, this short imperial edict had a much greater impact on the Linhuai Marquis Mansion than the previous two imperial edicts.
Looking back and smiling, the house is full of pink and white without any color
After Li Shu listened below, her big watery eyes smiled with a coquettish expression, her small cherry mouth raised a beautiful arc, and the smile bloomed on her pretty and rosy face, like a blooming red plum.
, overflowing with arrogance.
All radiant.
The old lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, the Sixth Young Lady and others beside them were so overwhelmed that they couldn't breathe.
Pleasant! This is a royal title.
From this day on, Li Shu suddenly became Mrs. Gaoming with the title of fifth-grade Yiren. It can be said that she reached the sky in one step.
Although many mistresses of the house are called Young Madam, Madam, and Old Madam, in fact, strictly speaking, they all have unfair names.
Strictly speaking, in the Ming Dynasty, the head wives of first- and second-rank officials were called "Madam" and their aunts were called "Taifei". The third-rank officials were called "Shuren", the fourth-rank officials were respectful people, the fifth-rank officials were pleasant, the sixth-rank officials were Anren, and those below the seventh-rank official were called "Mrs."
Ruren.
If you have no seal and no rank, you are called a lady.
Those with the fifth rank of Yiren and above are called Gaoming, that is, Gaoming's wife, and those with the sixth rank of Anren and below are called the imperial decree.
Madam Gaoming, Madam Gaoming, that is to say, in the Ming Dynasty, only female mistresses with the title of Yiren or above can be called madam, and those without titles can only be called "Niangzi".
Seal your wife as your shadow!
For the women of the Ming Dynasty, wives were given the title of wife and son based on their husband's status. Because of their excellent husbands, they were granted imperial edicts or royal orders from the emperor. This was almost the highest dream and honor they could dream of.
Having such an account can make you stand out when chatting with women around you, put you in an absolutely dominant position, and gain the envy and jealousy of everyone, but they can't do anything to you.
But in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of gift was difficult to obtain.
Generally speaking, only officials with outstanding merits have the opportunity to receive imperial decrees from the emperor.
You know, there are dozens of mistresses in such a large Linhuai Hou Mansion, but only the old lady Linhuai Hou and his wife Linhuai Hou have imperial titles. The other aunts, aunts, ladies, etc., none of them have
Titles; and the titles of the old lady, madam and the others are also the titles that the emperor bestowed upon the old Marquis of Linhuai and the current Marquis of Linhuai in accordance with the usual practice when they inherited the title.
Therefore, when they heard Eunuch Jia read out the imperial edict to confer Li Shu on the fifth rank of Yiren, the eyes of all the women in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion all turned green, looking at the dazzling newly promoted fifth-rank Yiren Li Shu with envy and jealousy.
Even the old lady and his wife, the Marquis of Linhuai, who already had titles, could not help but be envious and jealous.
They were all granted titles by the way when their husbands inherited their titles. They are the legacy of their ancestors. It can be said that their titles were also inherited.
It's not that their wives are rich based on their husbands, it's not that their husbands are powerful, but that their husbands' ancestors are powerful.
One is a title inherited, and the other is a title obtained based on one's ability. Which one is more important is clear at a glance.
They felt at this time, just like the noble children who inherited the title, unable to straighten their backs or raise their heads in front of the officials taking the imperial examination. They still felt a little guilty in their hearts.
Regarding Li Shu's appointment as Yiren, the maids and maids in the palace could only envy or at most be jealous. They did not dare to feel hatred. Li Shu was already above them, and as maids and maids, they were destined to have no success in their lives.
Opportunities for gifts. However, the female relatives of the Hou Mansion are different. Originally, Li Shu was in the same league as them, but now that Li Shu has soared into the sky, they naturally have thoughts of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Therefore, the ones who are most stimulated among the female family members of the Hou Mansion are those who have no title except the old lady and madam of the Linhuai Hou Mansion. Especially the young ladies and young madams of the younger generation.
Especially the sixth lady, fourth lady, third lady and other young ladies of the Hou family.
Among them, the one who was most stimulated was Miss Six of the Hou Mansion.
Miss Six already had a bad premonition when she heard Eunuch Jia read, "The country prefers its benevolent ministers to those who have good family ties."
"Virtue, worthy of the ancients, Zite named it pleasant", Miss Six's pretty face was deformed with envy and jealousy, and the handkerchief in her hand had already been torn by nails.
Being diligent and helpful, capable and virtuous?
Is the emperor blind? How could she, Li Shu, be so capable and virtuous?!
She, Li Shu, always uses cow and goat milk and flowers to bathe. She is a prodigal woman, and she has no hard work to help her!
She, Li Shu, always looks at people with her chin down, making false accusations and bullying her sisters. She also strips off the girl's clothes, makes her kneel in front of the public, whips the girl, and makes false accusations, one by one, every one of them.
It's clear from everything that she is a snake-hearted person. How can she, Li Shu, be so virtuous and virtuous?
Even if she is playing eight poles, she, Li Shu, and Ke Qin, the internal assistants, are not able to reach the top if they are virtuous and virtuous.
Woohoo!
Why, why did Li Shu, an uneducated, unruly and unreasonable village girl, get married less than half a year ago and be given the title of Madam?
Isn’t it just a good marriage?
She is not as good as me, nor is she as good as my brother-in-law.
