The brilliant sunlight, spilling down through the courtyard’s umbrella-like canopy, was bright and colourful, illuminating all corners of the Linhuai Marquis’ courtyard.
In the courtyard, Zhu Pingan was kneeling there, Li Shu, the old madam and the others were in a fan shape, kneeling slightly half a body’s length behind.
Eunuch Jia, who had come from the palace, stood in front of them holding the imperial decree, located in the most central position of the fan.
Zhu Pingan had a dumbfounded look on his face, and behind him, Li Shu was also surprised with her small mouth wide open.
The expressions on the faces of the old madam, the sixth young lady and the others were much richer, there were celebrations, small thefts of joy and gloating ……
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
In the end, it was Eunuch Jia, who was standing in the front, who broke this stillness, looking at Zhu Pingan with a slight smile and reminding him softly, “Junior Lord Zhu, accept the decree.”
“Oh, oh, I, Zhu Pingan, accept the decree, thank you Lord for your great kindness, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor.”
Zhu Pingan came back to his senses under Eunuch Jia’s reminder, kneeling on the ground, both hands supporting the ground, with his head close to the ground, kowtowed to receive the decree and thanked him for his grace, then straightened his waist, stretched his hands high, and received the holy decree from Eunuch Jia.
Li Shu and the other ladies bowed in the same manner.
The old madam watched Zhu Pingan receive the imperial decree, her heart was once again thankful that it was not her own son, Marquis Linhuai, or else it would be her own son who would make a fool of himself now.
The sixth miss of the marquis house, on the other hand, was looking at Li Shu with the afterglow of her eyes, gloating in her eyes ……
In the Marquis House, she and Li Shu this fifth sister is the most against, not used to Li Shu high and mighty look, in her opinion, Li Shu looks not as good as her, the body is not as good as her, everything is not as good as her, why does Li Shu have the look of spending endless, and she can only count the pitiful monthly money; why does Li Shu so good luck, in the countryside looking for a bumpkin, but in the blink of an eye became a scholar, and she can only promise aThe publicity is not good, no ability and still think he is a playboy ……
Especially a few days ago, when it was rumoured in the mansion that Zhu Pingan had handled a big case in Taicang, and said that he had even been complimented by the saint, the sixth young lady looked at Li Shu even more unfavourably, and felt that Li Shu was even more condescending than before, and that she was about to pout her tail off to the heavens!
LOL!
Now it’s good!
Let you fool around again.
It turns out that the saint’s praise is a fine of one hundred and sixty taels of silver, cackling ……It’s almost time to laugh out loud.
The sixth young lady s eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and her cherry mouth slightly hooked up with a touch of curvature, revealing a small set of tiger teeth that glistened in the sun ……
Thunder and rain are all the grace of the king.
Although Zhu Pingan had ten thousand sentences of mmp in his heart that he wanted to say to Emperor Jiajing, he still received the holy decree with a respectful face.
Zhu Pingan was about to get up, ready to respectfully place the holy decree on the table for enshrinement.
Generally the subjects receive the imperial decree are operated in this way, unless it is the imperial decree of killing the head and copying the family and so on, even if they want to make offerings, they have no chance to do so.
“Little Lord Zhu, be at ease, this imperial decree hasn’t been pronounced yet.”
However, when Zhu Pingan was about to get up, Eunuch Jia, who was standing in front, waved his hand with a smile on his face.
Eh?
There is more?
Zhu Pingan and the others were all stunned.
Marquis Linhuai’s old lady was also flabbergasted, happy at the same time, can’t help but have a few sighs, how the fine is not enough? She also wants to be demoted?
Although she did not like Li Shu as her granddaughter, and along with that, she also did not like Zhu Pingan as her aunt, but having such a scholarly aunt gave her a lot more to talk about when she chatted with the other meritorious old ladies.
If it is only a fine, then it is fine. But if the aunt was both fined for the silver and demoted, it would also have a great detrimental effect on their marquis house, and the direct effect would be that she would not be able to hang on to her face amongst her old sisters.
Sixth Miss heard that there is also a holy decree, the curve of the cherry mouth is bigger, small tiger teeth also show more.
Degraded, preferably relegated to the common people, see you Li Shu still in front of me what can be proud of ……
“Little Lord Zhu, please accept the decree.”
Saying that, Eunuch Jia juggled and once again took out a copy of the same black ox horn shafted imperial decree from the tray that the little eunuch behind him was respectfully holding.
“Subject, Zhu Pingan accepts the decree.”Zhu Pingan once again kowtowed to receive the decree.
“By the grace of heaven, the emperor’s edict says: ‘Zhu Ping’an, the Zhi Zhilang of the Wuyi Pavilion and the attendant reader of the Hanlin Academy, has been diligent and frugal since he left his post, and has repeatedly made meritorious achievements with a single-minded focus on seeking a better country. Taicang deficit case, the successive management of the library and the successive sent to check the library of the King’s Minister are all close to the members, but also repeat the rate of compliance, no awareness, and no one can send its treacherous, very negative appointment. Only Zhu Pingan, know the difficulties and advance, live up to my expectations, in the case of Taicang shortfalls, the credit is indispensable. Here, from this day onwards, he will be promoted from the fifth rank of the Hanlin Academy, the scholar in charge of reading and the Department of Wuyi Si Zhi Zhi …… ” Jia Gonggong unfolded the second imperial decree, with the same tone of voice as when reading the first imperial decree, staccato read out.
This time, Eunuch Jia’s voice sounded like a spring breeze to Zhu Pingan.
Well, I didn’t expect this Eunuch Jia’s voice to be so magnetic that it would be more than enough to serve as a host in modern times.
Zhu Pingan thought to himself.
In this way, Emperor Jia Jing is not too dim. Although the official position is only in the Hanlin Academy read after the addition of “bachelor” two words, but do not underestimate these two words, more than these two words means that Zhu Pingan has been promoted from the fifth grade, from the fifth grade is equivalent to the modern deputy hall level + position.
Basically, it is only half a level lower than the director Qi in the name of the people.
Of course, Zhu Pingan this is no real power, with others in the power of Qi director can not be compared, this is only from the level.
But.
From the sixth-grade official to the fifth-grade official, this belongs to a qualitative leap, from the fifth-grade official already belongs to the intermediate level officials, I do not know how many people from the imperial examination of this wooden bridge is hard to climb ashore, until the old are tripped in front of this threshold.
Just like the immortal novels in the practice of qi stage to the foundation stage, this is a moat, the foundation stage under all mole crickets, a leap this door into a dragon.
Well, so it seems, Jiajing Emperor is not a dim king yet. ……
At this moment, Zhu Pingan has long forgotten about the matter of going to the entrance of the Xiyuan Palace to run naked and pull banners in protest.
When Li Shu heard about it, her watery eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, and she swept aside the old madam and the sixth young lady with her residual light, and her little head rose upwards in an arc ……
On the side of the Linhuai Marquis old madam was surprised and opened her eyes wide, the fifth aunty was promoted, and all of a sudden became a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy from the fifth rank? The five aunts are only sixteen only ah, a while ago only promoted the official, how this again to the promotion, the five aunts this year only in the bar, this when from the fifth grade officer, is the emperor’s own son also rise not so fast ah, so young from the fifth grade, think of it is terrible.
I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that!
This imperial decree how not to his son Linhuai Hou ah.
Not to mention the fine of more than 100 taels of silver, is the fine of 10,000 taels of silver, also willing to ah.
LinHuaiMarquis old lady heart inside more and more think more and more lost, can not wait to receive the decree is his son LinHuaiMarquis.
The marquis six young lady, small mouth open boss, surprised eyes are almost staring out, the mind is echoing “from the fifth grade, from the fifth grade, from the fifth grade ……”.
What’s going on? The previous decree of the emperor also fine silver one hundred and sixty taels it, how the next decree of the emperor to give a promotion?
Emperor, can you have some principles?
Fifth brother-in-law is not the emperor’s illegitimate son, this official promotion is also too fast.
How nice it would be if he was my husband!
What’s the point?
Li Shu, this village girl from the countryside, is not as good-looking as me, not as fit as me, not as good in everything, why should she get all the good things?
Oh!
Did Li Shu look at me?
Did she look at me with her chin again?
Stinky girl!
So angry!
For a while, the Marquis’ Sixth Miss bit her lips tightly in anger, the handkerchief in her hand almost clenched to pieces.
