"Xiaoxiao, Bai Zhi, we are officials, we are officials, the emperor praised us as a model of maids in the world, it turns out that we can also be officials when we are girls, and we can also be famous all over the world, and now we are all famous. Bai Zhi, we are officials, we are officials......" Chu Qiu shouted, holding his female official uniform, running out of the living room, shouting as he ran, "I'm an official!" I'm an official! ”

It is also joyful to show your face, which is not only an honor, but also means that your status is noble.

This is what they fought the battlefield.

Zhan Yan asked, "Isn't my aunt happy?" ”

Su Yan looked at Zhan Yan who couldn't hide her joy, "You and Feifei are fine, but for me and my second sister, what does this mean?" My family affairs are already difficult, I have been given two counties, hereditary replacement, and my second sister and I have only one way left in this life: to marry a royal wife! ”

She couldn't be happy, if she could, she would rather not have the title of the county lord, and only exchange for a gold medal for avoiding death.

"In Su Yan's life, what she wants to do most is to protect the safety of her family, and I never ask for glory and wealth!" With that, she turned around sadly.

Her calmness seemed to pour a basin of ice water on Jiang Shuncheng.

The Jiang family has been in the limelight in recent years, and he was given the title of Wenzhong Hou in the spring, and the title of Pingxi Marquis of the second son can also be hereditary for five generations.

There are usually three types of duke titles: hereditary succession, i.e., the same title is passed on to future generations; Hereditary, that is, each generation descends one level; There is another kind, which is lifelong, only one person, one generation.

Jiang Shuncheng's title is a civil title, and usually such a civil marquis will not be hereditary, but the emperor made a special list for him. Even Su Yan's county lord fief can be hereditary, and according to the rules, it is mostly passed on to her eldest son, but Su Yan is still in the boudoir.

Liu Feifei seemed to be frightened by her words, ran over, grabbed her and said, "Senior sister." What about me? What about me? ”

Su Yan smiled bitterly, and her heart inexplicably swelled with loss and fear, "You have nothing to do." There is no 'hereditary replacement', and you will be safe." Besides, your fiefdom can be taken back at any time. ”

Liu Feifei tilted his head and looked dazed: "I don't understand, senior sister, I don't understand, you have two county fiefdoms, and the emperor will not take them back." What are you not happy about? Look at me, even if the emperor will take it back in the future, I am still happy. ”

"My life. As long as you hold what you want to hold, you don't want anything else. Sometimes an excessively heavy favor is a kind of bondage, and I am a woman who is not related to the royal family, and the emperor is so thick. This means that I can only be a royal wife, and no one will allow my land and people to be given to an insignificant bystander. You can be a high-ranking official, you can have gold and silver treasures, but you can't be land, it's not the people. ”

Liu Feifei seems to understand whether he understands or not. looked blankly at Su Yan, who was full of melancholy.

Jiang Shuncheng, Jiang Shuhong and others understood that Su Yan said what she wanted, and she was willing to exchange the respect of the county lord and the fief for the gold medal for avoiding death.

When they were still in the border city. The emperor already had an idea, divided the six towns he captured into two counties, and gave these two counties to Liu Feifei and Jiang Zhanyan. The county lord of Changping, the county lord of Renhe, and the name of many auspicious people, since then. The emperor is going to do it. Perhaps, the emperor also knew that Liu Feifei and Jiang Shulin liked each other. asked Jiang Shulin to garrison the border city for him, but what they were guarding was Liu Feifei's fiefdom.

Changping County, Renhe County, although it is a county, but each county only has three towns, because it is a border city, sparsely populated, the two counties combined, less than half of the population of Jinhua County.

There are thirteen towns below Jinhua County, which is considered a rich county in the border city.

This is the emperor's mastery of the courtiers, step by step, every step has its purpose.

Even if she and Liu Feifei stood aside and whispered, they still fell into Jiang Shuncheng's eyes. looked at Su Yan, who was not happy and worried, "You think too much." ”

"Dad, I didn't think much of it. If I can see Long Yan in person, I will still ask the emperor to take back the fiefdom of the two counties, and if I have something to ask for, I would rather avoid the death of the gold medal. She stubbornly finished and turned away.

The three rooms and the big room congratulated Zhanyan, and everyone was full of joy on their faces, this year was a happy event for the Jiang family, the Jiang family men did not rely on nepotism, they earned the title with their own skills, and got the glory, which is more admirable than marrying the sisters and daughters of the family to the royal family.

After Jiang Shuncheng put his hands on his shoulders, he initially thought that Su Yan was just talking casually, but he could see that everyone was happy, but Su Yan had a worried look on her face, and she was a little sullen and unhappy. Lang said: "The eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law, on the tenth day of the first month, the family has to hold a good one, and the relatives and friends who should be invited are invited to have a lively time." ”

Yu's face was overjoyed, there was nothing more joyful than her daughter getting a reward, not to mention that this was also earned by Su Yan herself, and said: "Shukun is named Pingxi Hou, and Yan'er and granddaughter are all named county lords and county lords, so you have to take advantage of your big birthday to have a good one." ”

Jiang Shuncheng glanced at Jiang Shuhong and said, "Ming'er entered the court, so he simply asked the emperor for the holy decree with a cheeky face." The positions of Wenzhong and Wenzhong are set together, so that the people in the big house are happy. ”

Shen pursed his lips and smiled.

Zhang Shuangshuang secretly peeped at her husband, and saw that Jiang Chuanhe's eyes had uncontrollable joy, which meant that this title finally fell on them.

He Shi stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Shupeng uneasily, winking at him vigorously, why do you have to be in a big house, the sister-in-law is in charge of the family, the right prime minister's mansion is big, there are many relatives and friends, and all the benefits have been exhausted by them, and now even this hereditary title has to fall to the big house.

Jiang Shupeng didn't think so, pretended not to see it, and said, "This matter, Dad should have settled down a long time ago." ”

Jiang Shukun took over and said, "Congratulations, big brother!" He turned to Jiang Shuncheng and said, "Since my father wants to ask for a favor, I simply set my family heirloom as the grace of the prince of Pingxi to ask for it." ”

Shen Shi hurriedly smiled: "This is how it should be. According to the rules of the imperial court, the title of the father and ancestor is the eldest grandson, it should be, it should be, the second brother let the distant son take the title, it is even more deserved, if it is given to others, wouldn't this mess up the rules. ”

Seeing that it was Kuajiang Shukun's decision, he was secretly saying that the He family was delusional and wanted to mess up the rules of the court.

Fortunately, the old Wujiang Shuqi and his family are not in the imperial city, if the two of them are there, with their temperament, it will be another storm in this mansion.

Zhang Shuangshuang exclaimed, as if he had suddenly realized, causing everyone to look at her. "Grandmother, mother, I have encountered such a big happy event today, and I haven't set off firecrackers yet!"

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, Jiang Shuncheng hurriedly called the big housekeeper, and hung firecrackers in front of the gate of the "Wenzhong Hou" gate of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the gate of the "Pingxi Hou" Mansion at the south gate.

The neighbors heard the deafening sound of firecrackers, and the minions of the various provinces went out to watch.

Hu Changling sat in the flower hall and drank tea, and the little servant said: "The lord and the wife are on the opposite street from the Jiang family." ”

Hu Liu breathed a sigh of relief and looked envious.

Hu Xianglan scolded angrily: "It's all because the third sister is to blame, she actually wanted to harm Miss Jiang, and the relationship between our two families is so stiff." Prime Minister Jiang Cheng sealed Wen Zhonghou in the spring, and now Jiang Erye has sealed Pingxi Hou, what a scenery this is. ”

Hu Changling asked: "Can you inquire clearly, why did you set off firecrackers?" ”

The little servant lowered his head and said: "I inquired, I heard from the descendants and neighbors of the Jiang family, saying that the emperor gave Miss Jiang the title of the lord of Anxi, rewarded the fiefs of the two counties, and allowed hereditary replacement." Miss Sun and Miss Liu in the second room were also promoted to the county lords, and each was given a county fief, and even the girl who served the three young ladies was also promoted to the female official of the eighth grade, enjoying the female officials of the Internal Affairs Office, giving gold and rewarding female official uniforms......"

Hu Xianglan's eyes widened, "Even the girl in her family is a female official?" ”

Hu Changling looked thoughtful, "What does the emperor mean by this?" Let the maid be a female official, except for the palace, only the prince's mansion and the county prince's mansion can only do things. ”

Hu Liu put down the chestnut in his hand and was peeling it off, and wanted to peel it out and grind it into powder to make chestnut cake for the New Year's Festival. Said: "I went back to the Seven Princes' Mansion to participate in the winter banquet, and I heard from a few princesses and side concubines, saying that these girls also followed the battle to kill the enemy, and the girl named Chuqiu heard that in the past half a year, she has killed sixty-nine enemy thieves, which is the most killed among the girls." ”

Hu Changling came back to his senses at this time, "In this way, the emperor named them eight-rank female officials, and they also deserve this reward." I really didn't expect that even the girls in Jiangfu were so brave. The Right Prime Minister's Mansion should not be underestimated, and the civil ministers and military generals are all out. ”

Hu Liu said unhurriedly: "What's so good about this." Even the Seventh Emperor Concubine said that the Jiang family was too popular, but they would suffer from right and wrong. Don't talk about it, I'm afraid that this will have to fall on Anxi. ”

Hu Changling had heard of it, Su Yan and King Wu seemed to be a little ambiguous, and the princess on her left shoulder was still staring at Su Yan. If Su Yan really became Princess Wu, this would be even more amazing.

Hu Changling smiled slightly, "Jiang Shuncheng needs people, it is his sons, all of them are adults, others can think of it, he thought of it early in the morning." Anxi Gui is the county lord, has a fief, and has a hereditary reckon, and he can't run away if he marries into the royal family. ”

When Hu Xianglan heard this, she thought to herself, what was she who had a good relationship with Su Yan back then was not herself. If it were her, she would never harm Su Yeon, she would only be better with her. "Dad means that it is an ironclad fact that Sister Jiang is the princess and the princess?"

"The emperor gave two counties, and also allowed hereditary replacement, how could it be possible to give such a thick seal to people with foreign surnames, naturally it must be enjoyed by their royal descendants. From this point of view, the emperor is telling others that Jiang Suyan can only be their royal woman. Hu Changling held the teacup, and the heat was transmitted to the palm of his hand through the teacup.

Hu Liu said with a smile: "Master doesn't have to envy Jiang Xiangye, you are a blessed person, the fourth sister entered the Seven Princes' Mansion, and since the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she has won the heart of the Seven Princes, and she is full of favor, which is a filial piety gift presented by various officials, and she has a copy of what the side concubine does not have." ”

Hu Changling thought of this, his heart calmed down a little, he is also the father-in-law of the Seventh Prince, if King Jing ascends the throne in the future, with the brotherhood of the Seventh Prince and King Jing, he will not lose the Seventh Prince, naturally, he will also follow the light. nodded and said: "The next time I see Ju'er, I should remind her a few words, whether it is the main concubine or the side room, you have to have a son to enjoy the glory." ”
