"Oh, after returning to the capital, I was busy and forgot about it. Brother Jiang Rong asked me to bring you a message, saying that he is waiting for you in Hexi Village, and he will not come to the capital." said the general protecting the country.
"What? Not coming to the capital? If we had known this, we wouldn't have come to the capital!" Lian Guanlang exclaimed, "We haven't left the capital yet just to wait for him and then play with him in the capital.
We went back to Hexi Village together in a few days, but now, the emperor has appointed me an official, how can I go back? General Protector of the Country, can I resign with the emperor?"
"We can't do it for the time being. In a few days, the leader of the Kingdom of Jin will arrive soon. Why do you think the emperor appoints you as an official? Even if it is a reward based on merit, this will not give you a fourth-grade general all at once. Don't worry,
You should stay in the capital and wait until the leader of the Kingdom of Jin leaves before making plans." The old general who protected the country smiled and arched his eyebrows, "Mrs. Lian, the capital is not as small as Nanwang Town. Now that you are a first-grade wife, here
Beijing, with this status, your family can at least gain a foothold in the capital without being involved."
"Thank you, General, for your help. I understand what the General means." Lu Ziyuan smiled and thanked him. The emperor said that he would be rewarded based on his merits. In fact, it was for the sake of Jin Guoguo's coming to An Dynasty, and Lian Guanlang was needed to help pull the strings.
After all, the leader of the Kingdom of Jin or the Kingdom of E is more familiar with Lian Guanlang. If something happens, Lian Guanlang can also move around more.
And it is precisely because the emperor has appointed Lian Guanlang as a fourth-grade official, and there are even bigger officials suppressing him. If he is not above or below, if he is outside the capital, a fourth-grade official is not a small official, but any official in the capital can
He has more status than Lian Guanlang.
However, it was something that had never happened before in the entire An Dynasty for a common man to be directly promoted to a fourth-grade official. Even if a soldier had made meritorious service on the frontier, this happened step by step. For example, the son of the general who protected the country.
, that is, after making meritorious service, he made meritorious service again and again, and his official position was promoted again and again.
Therefore, in the terms of the 21st century, even if Lian Guanlang is an airborne force, it will inevitably give the old officials in the court something to say, and it will also make many officials secretly either win over or hinder them. In short, all kinds of officialdom
Dark things are definitely coming one after another. The Protector General wants Lu Ziwan to get a first-class wife. If she can use this status to establish a relationship with the noble lady or princess in the harem, then,
Lian Guanlang's official path is bound to be better.
Lu Ziyuan and Guan Lang have never been involved in the officialdom, whether in their previous life or this life, so they naturally don’t know much about officialdom matters. However, General Protector has been in the officialdom all his life, so he naturally sees these things more clearly than the two of them.
, Therefore, when the old general who protected the country proposed that the emperor should reward Lu Ziyuan as a first-grade imperial concubine, Mr. Du, who was very thorough, also agreed with him a few words.
And everyone who had followed Jiang Rong undercover in Mocheng all retired after their achievements, and did not even return to the capital. However, the general protecting the country discussed their merits one by one with the emperor, and the emperor gave them rewards. Naturally, there were special personnel behind them.
People deliver rewards into their hands.
After leaving the palace, Lu Ziyuan and Lian Guanlang's mood could be described as mixed. The palace maids and eunuchs who followed them arrived at the Lu family's house with the emperor's generous rewards. They were the envy of the neighbors in several streets. People nearby
But everyone knows that the Lu family has a fourth-grade general and a first-grade imperial wife.
After the palace maids and eunuchs left the Lu family, the Lu family closed the door and it was very lively.
"Mother Zi Wan, now you can really enjoy the blessings. Look, Guan Lang and Zi Yuan are promising. One is a fourth-grade general and the other is a first-grade imperial wife. Now they are an old lady of an official family. Brother Xia,
It’s the young master!” Ge Rui smiled and congratulated He Chunmei.
"My third brother, Quan Xia, will be pleased to know that our Lu family's ancestral graves are smoking. In our Hexi village, not even Master Gongsheng has ever been born. Now look at it, our Lu family has a high official."
Ye! From now on, when we are in Hexi Village, we will really be able to live up to our standards!" Lu Donglin laughed, then teased the girl Xinge in He Chunmei's arms and said, "This, from now on she will be the lady of the official family.
Ah, it’s the rich lady! She’s like a golden branch and a jade leaf!”
