As for Shen Mingzhu and her hairpin ceremony, they all came naturally, but the third wife only gave two pieces of ordinary linen cloth, and couldn't even make a skirt.
When I think about it, Mrs. Chu despises her, but because the third wife is the sister-in-law, she, the sister-in-law, can't say it directly.
Seeing her doing this again this time, Mrs. Chu couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what we gave you are just ordinary things. But third sister-in-law, third uncle has been promoted recently, so he needs to reward Mingzhu well."
What’s going on?”
The third wife immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "Hey, why do you want to thank your niece?"
Since Shen Mingzhu was named the princess, the third wife and others who did not want to be overshadowed by her changed their titles to seniority.
After all, if the imperial censor hears you calling someone by your first name, you will be impeached.
And they don't do it by addressing them as princess.
So I call you by seniority. There is nothing wrong with this, and others can't say anything.
Mrs. Chu said calmly: "The princess has gained favor with your majesty, and our prime minister has also gained more respect from your majesty. All the men in our family have also been promoted, and naturally the third uncle has been promoted the highest. How can we not be grateful?"
Where is the pearl?"
The third wife muttered, naturally refusing to admit that it was because of Shen Mingzhu, "That is because our master is capable and must be appreciated by His Majesty. Otherwise, even if there is such a relationship, His Majesty may not promote him."
Naturally, they were promoted not because of the emperor's appreciation, but because Shen Can and the officials from the Ministry of Revenue were interested in Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian.
Although Shen Can would find jobs for them in the past, in order to avoid suspicion, naturally it would not be a very lucrative job, but a position that was a little less lucrative but a little more idle.
To prevent others from gossiping.
However, the positions he gave were all ones where as long as you worked hard and achieved results, you would be easily discovered and promoted.
This is how the Fourth Master rose to the top.
But the third master didn't like it and kept complaining. He felt that his eldest brother was not good enough to him and refused to get a fat job for him.
Now, for the sake of Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu, the staff of the Household Department took the initiative to propose to Shen Can to promote several other men of the Shen family, so he was able to get his wish and go to the well-oiled Works Department Yamen.
But he and the third wife always felt that their talents had been discovered, or that their private relationship had an effect, and they never thought that they might be giving it out of Shen Mingzhu's face.
Seeing her being so dishonest, Mrs. Chu smiled and was too lazy to say anything to her.
People like this don't know how to be grateful and just want to make gains, that is, take advantage of others once or twice. They will never take advantage for a long time.
Mingzhu is not that kind of fool without principles. The people in the household department will eventually reveal this kind of favor to her and the prince. If she is not willing to accept the favor, she can just say that she doesn't want others to gossip.
All the benefits gained by the Shen family were returned at once.
Of course, there is no need to demote all the official positions back. You can even promote them with explicit praise and implicit demotion. The official position is promoted, but all the benefits and benefits are deprived. This is actually a disguised punishment for the official.
Especially for those officials whose official mission is to make money, they are simply going to be killed.
Mrs. Chu would not warn anyone like the third wife who wanted to confront Shen Mingzhu.
