Chapter 117 A Group of harmony
Lin Zimo, Zhao Wenxuan and Xu Zhiyuan sat in the flower hall and chatted for several hours before dispersing. Knowing that Yang Mengqi was going to leave Xunzhou Prefecture, Guangxi to go to Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province, he had to discuss some relevant matters before leaving with his father-in-law. This doesn't mean that you can leave. After all, you still have a certain industry here.
Yang Mengqi, who sat down, said his thoughts directly and said, "The slave family intends to hand over our fields in Pingnan County to the family of Chu. As for the servants who don't sell their bodies at home, they are free to go and stay. I will give half a month's salary to the departing servants. After all, at least they are also masters and servants. Most of the women who have been harmed by the Li family's father and son feel shameless, so I still plan to take them back. Even if they return to their hometown or relatives, they will definitely suffer the cold eyes and saliva of others, and they will live worse than death.
"The wife is thoughtful, but she has no opinion as her husband. You are in full power to make the decision." Lin Zimo, who picked up the tea, took a sip of the tea and said in a discussative tone, "I want Yang Yu to follow Xu Zhiyuan to the capital to see the world, open his eyes, and have a better experience by the way. I know that my wife wants him to study hard and then go on an official career in the future. The husband intends to donate a supervisor to him in Guozijian, so that he can study well. Do you think I can make such an arrangement?
Yang Mengqi, who nodded slightly, deeply felt that there was the position of their Yang family in his father-in-law's heart, and said with a smile, "My father-in-law is thoughtful, and the slave family fully agrees with your arrangement. However, I just don't know whether Yang Yu is willing or not?
Lin Zimo smiled and said, "I think he is definitely willing to go. The prosperity of Beijing Normal University is fascinating enough.
Yang Mengqi could see that his words revealed half jokes and half serious elements. It's not a matter for Yang Yu to always stay by his side. After all, men should aim to be everywhere and experience more things and experience more. She made up her mind that even if Yang Yu did not want to go to Beijing Normal University to study, she had to force him to go.
The sweaty Caiyue hurried in and gasped, "Madam, sir, there is a father-in-law and four sergeants in the hall. The father-in-law wants the maidservant to tell you and go to the front hall to listen to the imperial edict as soon as possible.
Lin Zimo, who is confused, completely doesn't understand what the emperor means. He sent the brocade guard to beat himself, and then sent the eunuch from home for what to do? I didn't think much about it, but looked at Yang Mengqi, and then quickly got up and went to the hall. After all, the people in the palace were not negligent.
A 40-year-old eunuch was relatively kind, and when he saw the couple stepping in, he said without nonsense: "Lord Lin, Mrs. Lin, you'd better kneel down and listen to the order."
According to the rules, Lin Zimo and Yang Mengqi both knelt down. The voice is like a childish old eunuch, reading the imperial edict word by word. Yang Mengqi was awarded the title of Sipin Gongren by Zhu Jianshen (the first grade is called Mrs., and later known as Mrs. Yipin). The second grade is called Madam, the third grade is Shuren, the fourth grade is called Gongren, the fifth grade is called pleasant, the sixth grade is called Anren, and the seventh grade and below are all called children. No difference, civil and military positions are the same.) If officials above the fifth grade have the opportunity to receive the emperor's canon order, that is, the order, and the officials below the sixth grade are called imperial order.
The order, also known as the letter, is a special document given to officials by the emperor. The so-called accusation is the meaning of the above. In ancient times, it was called by the great order of righteousness. In ancient times, officials from the first grade to the fifth grade were called Wei, and from the sixth grade to the ninth grade. In the Ming Dynasty, a very complete seal system was formed. One to five officials were given orders, six to nine grades were given imperial orders, and the wife was of her husband's grade, so there was a saying of "wife's order". The wife is related to her husband's official position. There is a salary, but no real power.
Until the old eunuch finished reading the imperial edict in his hand, Yang Mengqi, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his hands high to receive the imperial edict to him. In addition to receiving the imperial edict and gratitude for herself, she also received the corresponding clothes of the four-grade women from the old eunuch. She knew very well that this was a kind of praise from the emperor for her husband's outstanding achievements, otherwise she would not know that she would get such an honor. At the same time, this is also a recognition of her by the supreme ruler.
The couple stood up with congratulations from the old eunuch. Lin Zimo, who knew the unspoken rules, quickly took out two 500 taels of silver tickets from his sleeve pockets and handed them to the other party as an as an assult. The old eunuch, who did not make any refusal, accepted happily with a smile on his face. Before leaving Beijing, he knew that it was a fruitful trip.
After holding two silver tickets in his arms, the old eunuch took a painting from his entourage and handed it to Lin Zimo's hand. He smiled and said, "Lord Lin, you should treasure this painting well. This painting is the work of your majesty.
Lin Zimo, who took over the painting, was not in a hurry to unfold, but nodded and said 'yes'. The old eunuch, who did not intend to stay here, turned around and left after finishing his errands. Lin Zimo personally sent him out of the house, and then turned over and returned to the hall. He suddenly understood that this was the grace of the feudal emperor.
Zhu Jianshen is the official level of Jianglin Zimo, which naturally has many considerations. In addition to blocking the crowd, he still showed his disapproval of some of his actions. However, Zhu Jianshen is still very satisfied with his performance of governing the place and blocking the remnants of the rebels. Therefore, it is also necessary to give some praise to your subordinates.
Linfu, led by Caiyue, went up and down to congratulate Yang Mengqi. She seemed to be in a good mood. While accepting their congratulations one by one, she also distributed red envelopes to them. Yang Mengqi returned to the north room under the noise of everyone, changed into the clothes of these four-grade women for the first time, then sat on the chair and accepted the big gift of everyone again.
Lin Zimo, who was holding a royal brush painting in his hand, went to the study alone. After all, the old eunuch had something to say and insisted on enjoying the painting by himself. On the table, he gently unfolded the scroll and sat cross-legged with a smile on his face. His body was round, but when he looked closely, it was a combination of three people. The left head is an old man with a Taoist crown, and the right head is a Confucian with a square scarf. The two of them each hold a sutra at one end, their knees are connected, and smile at each other. The third person put his hand on their shoulders, and his face was covered, revealing only the light top of his head, and gently twisted the Buddha beads with the other hand, which appeared to be a Buddhist.
Lin Zimo knew that the painting was called "A Group of Harmony Picture". The painting borrowed the allusions of Tao Yuanming, Shang Huiyuan and Taoist Lu Xiujing, a scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and showed Zhu Jianshen's expectations for the future with the ideals of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. With a good understanding, he immediately understood what the emperor meant. That is, Zhu Jianshen has high hopes for himself.
In Zilin's view, the word "harmony" shows Zhu Jianshen again, hoping that some of their officials can be kind and less tossing. He read these four words three times and thought of a sentence, 'The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny'. If everyone can really achieve harmony, stop intrigue, intrigue, calculate with each other, etc., I'm afraid the world should really be the same world.
"Brother Zimo, when can he be sealed like his sister? That dress given by the emperor is really beautiful. Chu Hanlu, who has just stepped into the threshold, wants to know urgently.
Lin Zimo, who raised his head, looked at her walking towards him. For a moment, he really didn't know how to answer her. After all, he seemed to have only heard that the official's wife and mother were eligible for such an honor, and he really hadn't heard that the official's concubine could also get it.
Lin Zimo, who didn't say it clearly, didn't want to hit her beautiful vision and told a kind lie: "When you can be as gentle, virtuous, generous and sensible as Yang Mengqi, you will be qualified."
Chu Hanlu, who showed his good teeth, raised his little head and said thoughtfully, "They have done it, but why doesn't the emperor give me a life? Is it possible that he doesn't know that I'm a good woman?
Lin Zimo, who felt sweating all over the ground, smiled very far-fetchedly and said as a child, "Don't you blush when you say this? I didn't see that you met any of it.
Chu Hanlu, who did not change his face and his heart did not beat, insisted that he should do it. Lin Zimo didn't want to mess with the little boy, so he didn't answer her words, but rolled up the "A Tu Qi Map".
There is the sound of firecrackers in the house, and the voices are loud. This happy event of my family quickly spread out. The officials who smelled a little mystery rushed to congratulate them. Yang Yu and Cai Yue, who were very proud, held different prices, so they took the initiative to take on the role of welcoming the delivery.
Lin Zimo, who didn't go out of the study to see it, sat on a chair and held Chu Hanlu in his arms and said, "In a few days, we will go far away, and it will be difficult for you to see your family again. Little girl, are you sad?"
Chu Hanlu shook her head twice and smiled, "I'm not sad. As long as they can be with Brother Zimo, they can go there. In the past, my father used to say that his daughter was the water spilled out and followed her husband's house.
Lin Zimo, who stretched out his right hand, scraped her little nose and laughed, "I can't see that our girl Chu still knows a lot of things! With your words, I am relieved. If you really don't want to travel far with us, you can go back to your mother's house for a while before making plans.
Sitting up straight, Chu Hanlu, who looked very proud, smiled sweetly and said, "Marry you, naturally I will follow you."
