Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 644: :The power of Tianjia
Chapter 646 The Power of the Heavenly Family
After Eunuch Zhu heard the words, he smiled deeply and stood up: "In that case, our family will go back to the palace first and report back to the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
Old Madam Yu quickly sent someone to deliver the generous gift prepared by the Yu Mansion.
Eunuch Zhu was not polite and accepted it with a smile.
Not everyone can get information from him.
The chamberlain who followed Eunuch Zhu cleverly picked it up in his hand and weighed it. It was a heavy weight, and it must be a rare and generous gift.
Yu Zongzheng stood up quickly and said politely: "I will see my father-in-law off."
Yu Zongshen also said: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."
The two of them went to see Eunuch Zhu off politely.
In the front hall, Mrs. Yu had finished dealing with Eunuch Zhu, as if she had fought a tough battle. Even her vest was soaked through, and she leaned on the chair with a tired look.
Yu Youyao offered a cup of tea and handed it over.
Mrs. Yu took a sip and gained some strength. She looked at her grandchildren who were still standing in the front hall and waved her hands: "I have been working hard all morning. I think you are tired too, so go back and rest." Let’s go!”
She has not seen such a big battle for many years. The most recent time was when the second child got the second place in the exam.
This is the first time for several grandchildren.
Yu Jianjia glanced at the bright yellow imperial edict placed on the table.
When Eunuch Zhu read out the imperial edict just now, she lowered her head and didn't even dare to turn her eyes around. Eunuch Zhu's high-pitched and feminine voice penetrated her ears like a fine needle, making her dizzy and chest tight. She was short of breath, and for a moment, she even thought that after three years of careful physical training, her old illness had relapsed.
Yu Youyao was granted the title of Lord of Shaoyi County.
The imperial edict is folded in half and placed in a gilt gold tray. It is not known whether the Nine Dragons pattern on it is woven, embroidered, or painted. Even the dragon's whiskers are clearly visible, no matter which corner you look at. Look, she can always be stared at by a pair of majestic and sacred dragon eyes, as if these dragon eyes can follow her gaze and come alive, making her legs weak for no reason.
The power of the Heavenly Family is illustrious.
And all of this belongs to Yu Youyao.
Previously, she met Xu Linlang from Duke Xu's Palace and Yin Jinrou from Prince Rong's Palace at the flower party of Prince Rongjun's Palace. She once lamented that they were the "real noble girls", compared with them, Yu Youyao was just a mediocre girl. "Fake lady".
How many days has it been?
The prince of Rongjun seized the title and removed the dish, and Miss Yin San became a commoner.
Concubine Xu was placed under house arrest, and Xu Linlang's reputation as a true noblewoman was greatly reduced.
On the contrary, Yu Youyao was granted the title of county head and became a real noble daughter.
When Miss Xu Er, a relative of the emperor, saw her, she would salute respectfully and say: "Hello, Lord Shaoyi County!"
Is there anything more ironic than this?
How could He De, the eldest daughter of a widowed woman in everyone's eyes, be so successful? !
The bright yellow imperial edict on the desk was made of unknown material. The golden light was so dazzling that it hurt her eyes. Her eyes became wet without realizing it, and her eyes felt astringent.
Yu Jianjia slowly lowered her eyes and fluttered her eyelashes. After a while, when she raised her eyes again, her eyes were already filled with moist and soft light.
She stepped forward with a smile and said softly to Yu Youyao: "Congratulations, eldest sister, for being appointed the Lord of Shaoyi County by the Emperor."
She squeezed the handkerchief tightly, her thin white fingers trembling slightly, but a sincere smile appeared on her face, as if she was truly happy for Yu Youyao.
"Thank you, third sister." Yu Youyao didn't think that there was anything worthy of congratulations for having suffered from the palace's calculations.
No matter what, this is a great honor.
Thunder, rain and dew are all gifts from you!
It is not easy for women to be granted a title. Most of them are married. Women are honored by their husbands, and the husband has a high and powerful position. They ask for a title for the wife they respect in the family, and the court will only grant the title after evaluation.
As the original wife, her mother only got a sixth-grade Anren. Among other things, the emperor wanted to help the court in Xie Mansion to open the sea ban, which was indispensable and was a special gift.
As a step-mother, Yang Shuwan didn't even get a seventh-grade child, and only got a ninth-grade child, the lowest.
Yu Zongzheng entered the Ministry of Personnel. Logically speaking, Yang Shuwan's rank would be raised one level. However, Yang Shuwan's reputation was not very good after passing through the Huahui in Changxing Marquis Mansion. Even if Yu Zongzheng wanted to apply for a title for her, he would still do so. Not to mention, Yu Zongzheng hated Yang Shuwan, so naturally he couldn't bother to ask for a seal for her.
It was rare in the history of the Zhou Dynasty for a girl who had not yet left the imperial court to obtain the position of county head. It was because the emperor and the empress dowager loved her so much.
So, even if she was tricked by the emperor, this was her honor.
Even if the position of county leader requires her to "buy" it with a large sum of money, she still has to act cheerfully.
Yu Jianjia's congratulations made Yu Qingning react. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head reluctantly: "Sister, congratulations."
The aunt who was once favored became a concubine and was sent to the Zhuangzi. She didn't know whether she was dead or alive. Her father, who had doted on her in the past, now felt upset even if he looked at her more.
He lost all his support, was locked up in the courtyard by the old lady, and was rubbed down by Aunt Jin of the Priest's Square for three whole years.
All this is enough for Yu Qingning to recognize the reality.
No matter how stupid she was, she would not dare to blatantly go against Yu Youyao again.
But even so, she still felt unwilling and resentful when she thought of Yu Youyao, who used to be as stupid as a pig, but became the county head.
Yu Youyao nodded: "Thank you, fourth sister."
Yu Jianjia and Yu Qingning stepped forward and bowed out, then left the front hall one after another.
Although Yu Shansi was young, he could tell that the atmosphere in the front hall was a bit solemn, and his grandmother was not happy because the eldest lady was made the county head.
And the eldest sister herself did not feel honored.
He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward: "Eldest sister has become the county lord. When you walk around outside in the future, no one will harm eldest sister again."
Anyway ~IndoMTL.com~ this is a good thing.
Yu Youyao also heard the concern and worry in it, and smiled: "Sidi is right, after struggling for a long time, you should go back and rest early!"
After Yu Shansi left, Aunt Liu dismissed the servants. Qingxiu and Bai Shao stayed outside. The servants all knew that the palace had just issued an imperial edict and reward to the eldest lady, so they did not dare to go to the front hall. Edge together.
Mrs. Yu sighed slightly: "I'm afraid it's inevitable to lose money and avoid disaster!"
Yu Youyao shook her hand: "Any problem that money can solve is not a problem. The rare thing is how to fill the palace's appetite in order to satisfy the superior."
Mrs. Yu turned to look at Zhou Linghuai: "What do you think?"
Zhou Linghuai said quietly: "The Queen Mother launched a fund-raising campaign, targeting my cousin, even the Xie Mansion in Quanzhou, and even all the merchants of the Zhou Dynasty!"
Officials can only donate so much, but merchants are the real rich.
Sure enough, monthly passes are only available if you ask for them. I haven’t asked for monthly passes in the past two days, and the number has plummeted~ You can’t be like this~
