Chapter 1522: The Second Grade Appointment, Two Months Later
Chapter 1522: Second-grade imperial seal, two months later
Shen Tang was at the front, and the rest of the people in the mansion were all lined up behind, bowing and listening to orders!
For the emperor's imperial decree of the Song Dynasty, there was basically no need to kneel down to receive the decree. It was all common etiquette, including various canonizations or appointments.
However, if the imperial court issued an edict or the like to various states, the local chief officials would need to kneel down to receive the imperial edict.
"...I conferred the title of Lady Liu, the wife of Marquis Zhongwu, of the second rank, and gave me Dongzhu...Jiangnan brocade...The queen gave me a handle of jade Ruyi, a gold book and a jade ultimatum..."
"Your Majesty Shen Tang, thank you Lord for your kindness!"
Not to mention the other rewards, this jade Ruyi is extraordinary! The queen gave Gaoming the jade Ruyi, which represents her closeness to Gaoming and also represents the royal family's attention and recognition of the family.
As for the gold book and jade ultimatum, the same is true.
With the gold book and jade certificate, you can enter the palace to see the queen at any time. This is a great grace for the courtiers.
Although Shen Tang's current official position is the third rank, he still has the title of Marquis Zhongwu, so the imperial edict of the second rank wife is not unreasonable!
After Shen Tang received the imperial edict, Xiao Xizi led everyone to worship at Shen Tang, "Congratulations to the Marquis on the birth of Qilin'er!"
"Haha, thank you, thank you!"
As he said that, he waved his hand. A young boy had already prepared a silver tray and brought it over. He distributed it among the entourage. Then Shen Tang personally took out two brocade bags and handed them to Xiao Xizi, "Please give me this portion." After returning to the palace, I will hand it over to the nobleman, who can also be regarded as my old friend, so that he can enjoy my happiness!"
"Xiao Xizi thanked the Marquis for the reward on behalf of her godfather!"
"Let's talk in the front hall!"
Shen Tang led everyone towards the front hall, while Xiang Ling and other female relatives all returned to the inner courtyard.
"Sister, you are so lucky. This girl, Xiangling, is now granted the title of second-class lady. In the future, I will just wait and enjoy the blessings!"
Murong Hui said to Cheng Ru with a bit of envy.
Good fellow, this is a second-grade imperial concubine, and she has a gold book and a jade ultimatum with her. How many civil and military officials can there be in the dynasty?
When the Liu family master died, I don't know how many people were hurt. Who would have thought that his daughter was so lucky. Now those people may feel regretful.
As he said that, he turned and glanced at his daughter... I can't say, I have to urge him after I go back. My daughter is also married by an official. If she gives birth to a pair of children, she will not be as good as Xiangling Nizi in the future. She is a royal reward. I'm afraid it's indispensable! Naturally, the Shao family doesn't care about the small amount of money given as a reward, but who wouldn't be greedy for Mrs. Gaoming's identity?
"This is the blessing of Xiang Ling and this grandson, and it is a good son-in-law who fought for it regardless of his life. As long as they are blessed, I will be relieved! At our age, don't we just hope that our children will be well?"
"What my sister said is..."
The girls came directly to Xiangling's courtyard surrounded by people. No one else needed to say anything, Yun'er and Zhu'er just shouted forward, "Greetings to our second-grade wife, Gaoming!"
Listening to the chatter of all the sisters, Xiangling also learned about the royal rewards! Her eyes looked softly at the son in her grandma's arms, and her heart was extremely happy. These royal canonization rewards, but this little guy Earned for my mother...
Time flies, and two months have passed by in a blink of an eye.
It is rare that there is a light snowfall in Lianli City! The small lake in Shen Mansion has been covered with a layer of white mist, and the treetops and branches are also covered with white prisms!
The diligent servants and maids in the mansion got up early and cleaned all the roads. The white mist-like branches were also covered with large and small red lanterns, making them look fiery red...
"Yun'er, you girl, don't run away, see how I deal with you!"
Two girls, Yun'er and Zhu'er, chased and escaped, playing wildly in the garden. Wanyan Yue and Zhao Ling couldn't bear it, so they actually led two horses to the backyard. Although they couldn't gallop, they had a great time. It's also good.
Shen Tang and Xiang Ling walked slowly around in thick cloaks. Xiang Ling had already recovered well after giving birth, but Shen Tang felt distressed and only gradually walked out of the yard in the past few days.
Xiang Ling, who had been suffocating in the house for two months, was already bored. It was finally possible to go out. She had to go out for a walk every day, even if it snowed today.
"Be careful, madam, the road is slippery in the snow, don't slip!"
Shen Tang followed Xiang Ling, never leaving.
Xiangling rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Husband, Xiangling's body has already recovered. There is no need to worry so much!"
Shen Tang chuckled and leaned close to Xiang Ling's ear, "You've been healed by now?
Does that mean you can serve your husband?"
After giving birth, Xiangling recovered well under Cheng Ru's diligent care, and she became even more graceful than before!
Shen Tang was naturally excited, but since he had been worried about hurting Xiang Ling, he could only watch helplessly.
However, Shen Tang had already privately asked his grandmother at home two days ago, and in a few days, it would be fine.
With the presence of Mammy, Shen Tang's heart naturally became hot.
Xiangling was ashamed and angry, and twisted Shen Tang's waist hard!
Shen Tang grinned, not caring at all!
"Sister, what do you want to eat? I have people prepare poria cakes, secret money, etc., as well as just warm plum and sour soup!"
Lian'er led several little maids and came over with some snacks!
"Thank you for your hard work, sister!"
Xiangling smiled and held Lian'er's hand. Lian'er was so well-behaved that not only Shen Tang loved her, but all the girls in the family were also close to Lian'er.
"Lian'er, I heard that my father-in-law came back the day before yesterday?"
Shen Tang turned around and asked.
Lian'er nodded, "Well, dad has taken care of all the business at home, and it's not the New Year's Eve in a few days, so we might as well come with the whole family to celebrate the festival together!"
"Then after lunch, let's go visit! We should have gone to greet you, but my father-in-law didn't give us any news in advance, so we were delayed! I'll go collect some gifts later, and we'll go after dinner!"
Seeing that Lian'er didn't speak, Mu Yu on the side said, "My husband should go, otherwise, uncle Sheng's family would take Lian'er back home in anger, and my sister and I wouldn't want to! Now, our family Anyone can be missing, but Lian'er is the only one who cannot be missing!"
Shen Tang smiled and nodded, "The two brothers should be back in the next two days!"
"Well, mother said that my second brother has already sent me a letter and he will definitely be back before the Chinese New Year, which will only take a day or two.
My eldest brother only started taking a rest the day before the New Year's Day. Fortunately, Sizhou is close and he returned on the same day."
After Youfu reformed his evil ways, he loved the military very much. After Shao Xun arrived in Lianli City, he asked Shao Xun to join the Sizhou army for training! After Li Xianzhong left, Youfu did not follow him to the northwest, but stayed in Si In the state army!
With Shen Tang's favor and Li Xianzhong's care, Brother Youfu is now the commander of the first battalion.
