The earls of the Qing Dynasty were of superior rank and were divided into four grades, namely: the first-class uncle who was also a Yunqiwei, and the first, second and third-class uncles.
His annual salary is as follows: first-class uncle Youyi Yunqiwei 535 taels, first-class uncle 510 taels, second-class uncle 485 taels, and third-class uncle 460 taels.
The count's official uniform has a four-clawed python on the front and back, which is the same as the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Fuguo in the clan.
In the Qing Dynasty, the earls among the civilian nobility were a natural barrier to the ordinary ministers and ministers.
For example, Ma Qi, the chief Manchu scholar, did not have a title until the end of the Kangxi Dynasty.
And Zhang Tingyu, a bachelor of Hanchen and a veteran of three dynasties, was only a third-class Qin Xuanbo in the end.
Twenty-one-year-old Yuzhu has already joined the ranks of earls, which is really a huge anomaly!
Today's jade pillar, the guard of honor for traveling on formal occasions is: four earl gold sticks, one apricot yellow umbrella, two large and small green fans, and ten flags and spears.
In the earl's honor guard team, there are two leaders in front and eight followers in the back, which is equivalent to a simplified version of the princess's consort.
In any case, when you reach the level of earl, you are qualified to stand above Lord Dan when a formal court meeting is held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Your Majesty Dan and Your Majesty Dan are just one word apart, but their status and treatment are worlds apart.
The biggest difference between an earl and a viscount is not only the different styles of official uniforms, but more importantly, the earl has two more east beads on his crown.
Dongzhu is a wild pearl produced in the Songhua River, Heilongjiang, Ussuli River, Yalu River and other river basins in Northeast China. It is round and large in texture and crystal clear in color.
Because Dongzhu is naturally formed and does not require cultivation techniques such as core transplantation, it is hard to obtain and extremely precious.
The harvesting of Dongzhu is very difficult. In April when it is suddenly warm but then cold, you jump into the icy river to collect pearl clams. You can imagine the biting cold.
In particular, it is even more difficult to obtain high-quality pearls. Often, only one fine pearl can be found among hundreds or even thousands of clams.
In the Qing Dynasty, Dongzhu has always been a forbidden object and cannot be used unless it is a gift or a title.
The empress dowager of this dynasty, the queen's winter crown is decorated with about 300 east beads and pearls, 13 east beads and 51 pearls on the top of the crown. Other earrings, court beads, etc. are also inlaid with east beads.
Indicates identity and shows royal authority.
In a word, at Yuzhu's age, he has stepped into the ranks of the top nobles of the Qing Dynasty.
After Cao Chun learned the news, he couldn't help but hold Iron Hammer's little face in his hands and kiss him hard several times.
Little Tiechui was stunned by the kiss, and asked Cao Chun in surprise: "Enie, you..."
Cao Chun said with a smile: "My silly brother, your Ama has earned a hereditary third-class uncle for you. Your Ama is not only handsome, but also extremely capable. I really did not marry wrong."
Human. Well, you are also the eldest son. Sooner or later, you should also become a first-class Duke."
If Yuzhu was in the room, he would definitely be able to hear that Cao Chun has been secretly competing with Xiuyun.
Also, Xuanyu and Tiechui are both the eldest sons of Yuzhu. Why should Tiechui be much shorter than Xuanyu?
When she was in the Cao family, Cao Chun, a concubine, was like a weed, stubbornly trying to survive.
Alas, the unmarried Cao Chun, let alone compared with Cao Yi, even compared with the Lai family, she was still eighteen blocks behind.
Hum, now, Cao Chun married a good man, and he immediately turned into a phoenix.
Last time, Lai Da, the chief steward of the Cao Mansion, came to deliver a gift. He knelt down in front of Cao Chun in a polite manner and kowtowed several times with fear.
Alas, at that moment, Cao Chun felt extremely comfortable and wished he could laugh three times.
Just when Cao Chun was happily holding Iron Hammer's little hand and talking intimately in private, the concierge came to report.
"Go back to my wife, Prince Fujin of Ping County did not send out the invitation, but the driver arrived in front of the mansion. Look, this..."
The concierge looked very embarrassed. How could he do this?
Cao Chun knew as soon as he heard it that if a night owl entered the house, it would be up to him!
Yuzhu had never accepted the invitation from Prince Ping's palace. Cao Yi must have wanted to ask for something, so he sacrificed the honor of the iron-hatted Prince Fujin and did the uninvited and third-rate act.
After all, Cao Yi is Cao Chun's sister-in-law. Now that she's here, why don't she feel embarrassed and avoid meeting her?
"Come here, open the middle door, please invite Pingjun Wang's direct descendant Fujin!" Following Cao Chun's instructions, the concierge understood instantly.
It is Prince Fujin of Ping County, not his wife's biological sister, so the difference in reception standards is huge.
Cao Yi originally thought that he would be rejected, but he was already prepared in his heart.
However, the Qing Mansion opened the middle gate, and the servants quickly removed the door sill and invited Cao Yi's car to drive straight in.
Cao Yi couldn't help but smile slightly. She didn't have to accept the invitation. Could it be said that her eldest sister came to the door in person, so she still dared to turn him away?
Once the news spreads, will Yuzhu's good reputation be lost?
After the car stopped, Cao Yi got out of the car and saw that his concubine Cao Chun was standing outside the hanging flower door, looking at her with a smile but not a smile.
"I pay my respects to Prince Ping, Fujin, and may he be blessed with peace and prosperity." Cao Chun performed a formal greeting ceremony in a formal manner, which was too formal to be like the relationship between biological sisters.
Cao Yiming knew it was inappropriate, but he could only raise his hand with a smile and say: "You and I are sisters, why do we need so many courtesy? Get up quickly."
Cao Chun acted as if he didn't hear anything and turned around to tell Tie Zhui: "Come and pay homage to Prince Ping Fujin."
Oops, this attitude is typical of rejecting people from thousands of miles away!
According to the blood relationship of the family, Iron Hammer should call Cao Yi Anbu (aunt).
An Bu is a serious relative. Ping Wang Fujin is an outsider.
The difference between the two is huge!
Cao Yi's face finally lost its expression and she said angrily: "Sister, I've never bullied you, why would you do this?"
Without waiting for Cao Chun to reply, Cao Yi pulled up the small hammer and held his little hand firmly in his palm.
Everyone is a noble lady with status and status. In front of many servants, Cao Chun was really embarrassed to break up with Cao Yi.
Just like that, Cao Chun watched helplessly as Cao Yi grabbed the little hammer's hand and broke into the upper room as a guest.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the upper room, after the guests and hosts sat down to have tea, Cao Chun took the opportunity to wink, and all the maids in the room immediately left.
Cao Chun wanted the hammer to withdraw so that she could have a fight with Cao Yi. However, Cao Yi actually hugged the hammer into his arms and refused to let go.
She is simply a shrew and scoundrel!
Cao Chun took a long breath and said with a smile, "I wonder, how come Ping Wang Fujin is so free today?"
"Hey, sister, you just became a countess, so you don't look down on me as your biological sister?" Cao Yi deliberately avoided Cao Chun's secretly thorny Ping Wang Fujin, and regarded herself as her biological sister.
Cao Chun sighed and said, "The family status of Prince Iron Hat's Palace is too high. Iron Hammer and I can't reach it." He still didn't follow Cao Yi's advice.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Even if you marry a poor scholar, am I not your biological sister?" Cao Yi was not a vegetarian, and deliberately mentioned a past event.
Cao Chun's expression changed slightly, and he secretly hated Cao Yi for his vicious thoughts.
Back then, someone in the Cao Mansion wanted to ruin Cao Chun's reputation and deliberately fabricated a story about her and a certain scholar, which was widely circulated.
Jiangning Zhizao Mansion, although not a noble family, is still as deep as the sea. Which scholar can sneak into the locked backyard and meet Cao Chun?
On the night of the wedding, Cao Chun's blood-stained white veil was presented to Yuzhu as a pure virgin.
With this foundation, Cao Chun was not particularly afraid of gossip.
However, the bad thing about Cao Yi is that he used his reputation to kill people in despicable ways.
If Yuzhu knew that Cao Chun had been involved with a certain scholar before marriage, it would be difficult for Cao Chun to clean up his innocence even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Well, since childhood, as long as you want something, you have to get it. Tell me, what do you want?" Cao Chun had concerns and his tone softened.
There was no way, given Yuzhu's status, if he became suspicious of Cao Chun, Cao Chun would have to shed several layers of skin even if he didn't die.
Can the imperial porcelain from your kiln compete head-to-head with a missing rice bowl?
Cao Yi smiled lightly and said, "Sister, you and I are close relatives. There is no need for you to stand and talk, right?" It was actually a posture of chasing after the victory.
Cao Chun held back his breath and sat across from Cao Yi, but said nothing, waiting for Cao Yi to propose conditions.
In fact, everyone is a sensible person. Since Cao Yi barged in regardless of his face, something big must have happened.
Cao Yi also understood the principle that going too far is not enough.
Cao Yi saw that Cao Chun kept his head hanging down and didn't look at her at all, so he sighed and said: "Sister, if it was just my own business, no matter how hard and tired I am, or even if I lose my head, I can't do it."
Came to find you."
After hearing this, Cao Chun couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and suddenly became alert, something big must have happened to the Cao family.
However, Cao Yi deliberately let it slip. Not only did he not say anything further, but he kissed the little iron hammer hard on the face and said, "Baji."
"This kid is really like your man. He is so handsome and handsome." Cao Yi's words were very frivolous. Cao Chun couldn't stand listening anymore and said angrily, "If you keep talking like this, I will kill you."
We can only see guests off behind closed doors!"
If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadows being crooked!
Cao Chun knew very well that blindly giving in would only encourage Cao Yi's arrogance. If things continued like this, he would definitely lose more than he gained.
Cao Yi chuckled, glanced sideways at Cao Chun, and said softly: "You have been daring to do things since you were a child, but you just pretended to be good and hid it from everyone's eyes. I also know that you are a sensible person, so you don't
I've taken a roundabout way with you. To tell you the truth, something big has happened. A private letter from our Ama was written to the prince, but accidentally fell into the hands of Prince Heng's disciple, the Chief Envoy of Jiangsu.
"
Cao Chun understood that Cao Yin secretly flirted with the prince, but unexpectedly, his private message expressing his loyalty to the prince Yinreng was intercepted by Lao Wu's disciples.
Yuzhu and Lao Wu have a close relationship. No wonder Cao Yi barged in and wanted to force Cao Chun into submission.
