"What's a good thing?" Sheng Weiqiao was a little curious when she asked this, after all, it was not the first time she had been contracted by Huan Ye, but she was basically in trouble, it was rare to hear that there was a good thing at this time, and she was a little puzzled while looking forward to it, because she really couldn't think of any good thing that Huan Ye had reported good news to herself?

But he heard Huan Yehe laugh and said: "Do you remember the tenth day of the first lunar month? Before, because it was in the limelight, and Meng's first task at the beginning of this year was to continue the string for the Son of Heaven, so he didn't give any benefits for the time being." At this time, Wangchun Palace already has an owner, and almost two months have passed since the first lunar month, so the queen is naturally going to start repaying the favor. ”

As he spoke, he took out a peach blossom note from his sleeve, unfolded it and put it in front of Sheng Weiqiao, "Oh, this is the title chosen by the Queen Mother and Queen Meng, you can pick one for the three of you!"

"Titles?" Sheng Weiqiao was very surprised, he didn't care to look at those titles, and hurriedly asked, "What are the Queen Mothers and Queen Meng planning to seal us?"

"You and Miss Sheng Ba are the same generation, and they are both county lords. Huan Yehe said, "Ying Jiang is going to suffer a loss, firstly, after all, she is a generation lower than you, and secondly, she is not your Sheng family's bloodline, so she can only be demoted one level and become the lord of the township." This is because the reason for giving you the title of Sect Lady can only be that the Queen Mother and Queen Meng see that you are particularly close to each other, and you cannot publicize your real merits. Otherwise, according to Queen Meng, she must want to make you and Ying Jiang the county lords. It's Miss Sheng Ba, Queen Meng didn't have the idea of making her the county lord, but she was stained with your light. ”

Sheng Weiqiao was a little surprised, and said: "Actually seal the county lord and the township lord? ”

"The title of the county lord is indeed a special honor for courtiers like us, and not everyone can have it. Huan Yehe smiled, "But for the queen mother and the queen, it's just a matter of edict, plus the court has an extra amount of Lu rice! Whether it is King Gaomi or the Meng family, they are too lazy to do such a trivial matter, and the queen mother still has the queen's face." This is also the benefit of being a woman...... If it is replaced by a man's officer, you look at it, unless it is a really insignificant position, it is a seven-grade sesame official, and it is common to pinch and fight in public. ”

She raised her chin in the direction of the imperial city, "So the queen mother and the queen give such a reward, don't feel flattered, it's like you casually reward the people below a little emerald pearl hairpin, for the people below may be enough heirloom treasures, for you, but you can forget it when you turn your head." ”

"You're talking as if the county lord is like a cabbage. Sheng Weiqiao asked curiously, "By the way, what about you? What are the benefits of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to you?

Huan Yehe laughed when he heard this: "How is it possible? Although the county lord and even the princess are almost the same for the queen mother and the queen, but you think, the queen mother wanted to give a few favorite nieces and nephews the county lord before, but they were all blocked back by King Gaomi, how can I give this courtier who is not surnamed Meng at all the title of county lord at this time? Besides, when it comes to the help to the queen that day, I can't compare with your aunts and nephews. The queen definitely doesn't want me to go past you!"

She explained, and then said, "I have been rewarded with some riches, and these are nothing. However, the aunt in front of the Queen Mother hinted to me that in a few days, I would let my second brother and third brother be released as officials, and the places they went to were prosperous and peaceful, so even if my two brothers were not capable people, I wanted to send a master who could do things, so that they could be cautious in everything, and if they mixed up some qualifications, it could be regarded as maintaining the lintel!"

Sheng Weiqiao comforted: "Brother Ling is the grandson of Duke Huan, when Duke Huan was here, he was exposed to it, and he had learned a few hands. After all, the ability to do things is also something that needs to be practiced before it can be accumulated. Maybe after Brother Ling presides over a place, he will do a good job?"

"But let's hope so!" Huan Yehe's tone was a little disapproving, not that she didn't want her brother to be good, but that she knew the abilities of her two brothers...... It's really incompetent, fortunately, people are more honest, but when she wants to be released, don't meet any Diao Min who is disgraced, she is satisfied.

Therefore, Huan Yehe had no intention of talking to Sheng Wei Qiao about it, and turned the topic back to the canonization of the three girls of the Sheng family, "There is still a difference between the canonized county lord of ours and the real county lord in the clan. You can know by looking at the title, like the county lord of Qingfang, the county lord of Huihe, including the county lord of Deping, which are all real seals, and the titles are taken from the name of the county. But we are not the bloodline of the Rong family, and the title is to pick two words with beautiful meanings to make up the number. This peach blossom note is the title prepared by Queen Meng herself, and it was handed over to the Queen Mother, because she didn't have anything to do with you before and didn't know your preferences, so she let you choose it yourself. ”

Sheng Weiqiao said: "Actually, there is no need for this, anyway, the focus is on the county lord, the title or something...... It's pretty much the same left and right. ”

But he still said, "Call the eighth sister and Ying Jiang over, let them choose their titles." They I chose may not be liked. ”

Huan Yehe nodded and said: "Ying Jiang can only be the township lord and tell her about it, Queen Meng is very sorry about this, originally according to the queen's will, it was all three of you who were named the county lord." But the queen mother was worried that there was no distinction between her aunt and nephew, which made people suspicious, so she made the decision to demote Ying Jiang by one level. The queen is now unstable, and she can only listen to the queen mother, when I entered the palace before, she repeatedly asked me to make it clear to you. ”

"The queen is so polite. Sheng Weiqiao sighed, "Actually, when I did that, I just wanted to be satisfied if I wasn't implicated afterwards." ”

She was a little drumming in her heart, because the meaning revealed in Huan Ye's words really taught people not to think about it: What is the meaning of "the queen has an unstable foundation now, and she can only listen to the queen mother"? This means that once the foundation of Queen Meng is stable, she may not be willing to listen to the queen mother!

So what does the queen want to do then?

"Now that the palace test has not passed, the queen means that the decree of the county lord and the township lord will be issued after the palace test. Huan Yehe smiled and said, "First, it is for the sake of the grand prince, after all, he is so high in the examination, if the three of you get the grace of the harem at this time, don't let him work hard in the palace examination to get into the first armor, and then everyone outside will talk about him relying on your sisters and nephews to enter the eyes of the queen mother, and the ranking of the extra reward, isn't it unjustly dead?"

"Second, I also thought that you only came to Chang'an at the end of last year, and I don't know many people, and I live in Ningwei Hou's Mansion at this time, so even if the grand prince is second on the apricot list, it has not yet reached the point where the market is in the market. But if you are now the county lord and township lord, many girls from Chang'an will go to congratulate you. It's not all for the sake of please, but also because since you have received such a reward, you will naturally go out to socialize in the future, and many people will naturally be a head higher, and for the sake of harmony on the scene, they must also have this posture. ”

"The surname of Ningwei Houfu is Xu or not Sheng, and now the grand prince and Xu Shizi are also busy preparing for the palace test, and today's Hou Mansion is not suitable for too much excitement after all. ”

"So Empress Meng asked me to tell you that the matter of the county lord and the township lord is certain, and the Yi Zhi is ready. As soon as the palace examination is over, a lieutenant will go to the place where you live to announce the decree. ”

While speaking, Sheng Weiwei and Gongsun Yingjiang were both called over.

Sheng Weiqiao actually felt that this must be a bamboo basket to draw water when he heard Huan Yehe say that the canonization of Yi's decree was issued after the palace test, and there was no need to let Sheng Weiwei and Gongsun Yingjiang go on this trip...... Because when the time comes, as soon as Sheng Sleeping Crane's life experience is revealed, it is strange that the Meng family is not crazy, how can it be possible to continue to seal them as county lords and township masters!

But it's hard to say this, seeing that the two of them are coming, I had to fight hard and tell them the reason, and then said to Gongsun Ying Jiang: "Ying Jiang, you have been wronged this time." ”

She was indeed quite ashamed, because the reason why she was able to save Meng Biyun that day was mainly due to Gongsun Yingjiang's efforts.

If it weren't for Gongsun Yingjiang's martial arts skills and good skills, Sheng Weiqiao would be a delicate girl, even if she wanted to save people, she wouldn't have that ability.

Later, when he helped Meng Biyun deal with the aftermath, it was Gongsun Yingjiang who came up with the idea and helped, and Sheng Weiqiao basically watched and helped.

As a result, now the main force only got a township lord, Sheng Weiqiao, who didn't do anything, took a county lord and didn't say anything, Sheng Weiwei, who didn't do anything, also because she was a sister of the same generation as Sheng Weiqiao, and she became a county lord...... Although it is said that the so-called county lord and township lord are happy to hear it now, and they have no hope of realizing it when they look back, but in the end it seems to take advantage of Gongsun Yingjiang.

Fortunately, Gongsun Yingjiang didn't mean to care, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you were the master of saving people at the beginning." Otherwise, I definitely won't be nosy, and it is natural for you to be the county lord at this time. As for Aunt Fu's title as the county lord, it was something that could be expected, and it was impossible for either the royal family or the Meng clan to announce the events of the day to the public, so how could Aunt Fu's title be lower than that of my niece? Besides, even if the two aunts had a higher title than mine, would they bully me because of this? In that case, why bother with such a trivial matter, let's just choose a nice title for ourselves is serious. ”

Sheng Weiqiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and specially taught Sheng Weiwei to thank Gongsun Yingjiang, and then beckoned them to sit around and look at the title.

Because he knew that this so-called canonization would go wrong, Sheng Weiqiao didn't bother to choose carefully at this time, and just picked one casually; Sheng Weiwei and Gongsun Yingjiang didn't know what to do, but they chose seriously for a long time before deciding.

After they all decided, Huan Yehe wrote them down one by one, nodded and said, "I'll bring it when I go to the palace in two days...... Don't forget the poetry meeting after the palace exam, prepare a few poems for the occasion when you go back, and support me when the time comes!"

Sheng Weiwei felt that she was still young, and going to the banquet was nothing more than eating and drinking, and this kind of poetry and lyrics could not be found on her head, so she was holding the tea bowl and drinking tea in small sips, without making a sound.

Gongsun Yingjiang was puzzled: "I have never been serious about studying, but I am afraid that I will not be able to write." ”

Sheng Weiqiao thought that it was okay to socialize normally, but she felt that she should be modest, so she said, "My level is ...... I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will laugh and be generous?"

Then the aunt and nephew saw Huan Yehe looking at them speechlessly: "Who let you write it yourself? What is the purpose of the sleeping crane that is the second on the apricot list? Let him write it! You memorize it, and when the time comes, your own family will not say it, who knows? Or do you think that this kind of poetry will show that all of them are talented women like me? Then there are more talented women in this world!"

“…… You are really not modest!" Sheng Weiqiao also looked at her speechlessly, "This is like the first talented woman in Chang'an!"

Huan Yehe said hesitantly: "Let me tell you, I really don't have a weak heart when this head falls on my head! Otherwise, you can cite a peer who is better than me? Empress Meng just loves to read, does she have poems that she can handle?!"

Sheng Weiqiao had nothing to say, so he simply diverted the topic: "There's nothing else to do, let's go!"

At this time, it was almost the middle of March, and the palace exams in previous years were on March 15, but this year because of Emperor Xuanjing's wedding...... Although it is a simplification of the big wedding after I don't know how much red tape, and it is a well-known emperor, there is no sweet affection, let alone the expected wedding, but the royal family has no trivial matter, and in the end it still dragged on the Ministry of Rites for several days.

So much so that this year's examination period had to be moved back to March 22, and it was only in late March that it started in a hurry.

At this time, Mrs. Sheng and her entourage are almost here!
