Chapter 727: Official Rank
Xie Zhan felt that he was really miserable, but he couldn't say anything.
After saying Xie Zhan, Xiao Changting put the object of the toss on the true owner of the celebration banquet, and said, "Mu Yuan, because of the matter of the third prince of Yuzhi Kingdom, I confiscated all the property in your hands. Now that the ambitions of the Jade Zhiguo are clearly revealed, and the truth about your framing by Yusblay has been discovered, I have decided to return all the confiscated property to you. It's just that the identity of the imperial merchant is no longer worthy of your identity, so the imperial merchant will choose someone else. If you don't dislike it, I will make you the president of the Chamber of Commerce, subordinate to the household department, and you are the sixth product, I don't know if you are willing? ”
"The president of the Chamber of Commerce of Zhengliupin?! Your Majesty is not joking! ”
"What right does a businessman have to become an official of the household department?"
"Zheng Liupin, isn't that status higher than that of a foreigner?"
"Not suitable, right? Xin Muyuan is just a woman! A woman should be married at home, not to mention that she is now married, what does it look like to show her face outside all day? ”
"Yes, how could such a showy woman come out of such a decent place as the Protector's Mansion? It's a shame to be in the face of the Protector Mansion! ”
When Xiao Changting's words came out, the minister's pile suddenly exploded.
Noisy and shouting, pointing at Xin Muyuan, all kinds of negative emotions smashed towards Xin Muyuan without hesitation and mercilessly, eager to turn her words and eyes into a heavy hammer to completely hammer Xin Muyuan into the deadly swamp, let the gossip block her nose, and let the evil words seal her breathing.
Even Li Shirui, the former Duchess of Huguo, who was determined to work hard to get along with Xin Muyuan, couldn't sit still, and almost stood up with her body dangling.
Fortunately, the Lord Protector reacted quickly and held her down in time.
"Husband, what does Your Majesty mean by this? How can you make a woman a foreign official? Or Liupin? ”
Xie Zhenao patted the back of her hand and said softly: "Mu Yuan is a good hand in business, it is only fitting to order her to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and to give her an official rank is to allow her to better manage, in case someone who disagrees with her will cause her management trouble in the future." ”
Li Shirui listened to Xie Zhenao's explanation, and still had an indescribable feeling in her heart, she hung her head sullenly, tried to hide herself, and secretly prayed that others would not find her.
"Mrs. Xie, this is your carefully selected daughter-in-law? It was a surprise to us. Someone whispered in her ear, and the sound of smart laughter disturbed her soul with great irritation.
Li Shirui's heart sank, and her impression of finally changing her mind fell into ice again, but she still maintained a polite smile on her face, and said, "Yo, Mrs. Zhang, are you here?" To be honest, it's not just you, it's me! Eh, you say, this woman was given an official position, has something similar happened in history? Oh, my daughter-in-law is a woman, and one day she can be on an equal footing with a man, this ...... This really scares me. Mrs. Zhang also has a daughter, right? Alas, it would be nice if Mrs. Zhang's daughter could be given an official position like my daughter-in-law, so that I could ask you for some advice. Unlike now, I'm the only one here to be scared, and I don't even have anyone to share my troubles with. ”
Mrs. Zhang's face was as black as ink in an instant, and Li Shirui raised her eyebrows, very satisfied with Mrs. Zhang's reaction.
Her daughter-in-law is not good at anything, but there is one thing that she likes very much, and that is: no one can compare!
Mrs. Zhang eased her emotions, laughed twice, and said, "No way, my daughter has always been low-key and never does this kind of showy thing." ”
Li Shirui nodded thoughtfully and whispered, "It's no wonder. Speaking of which, your daughter should get married this year, right? Which son did you promise? ”
When she mentioned this, Mrs. Zhang felt proud in her heart, and even raised her chin a little, and said, "He is the son of the concubine family in the fourth grade." ”
"Ao," Li Shirui raised her eyebrows, "My family is a product." ”
Mrs. Zhang's smug expression was fixed on her face, she glared at Li Shirui in annoyance, and turned to leave.
The Protector of the Kingdom pursed his eyes and said with a smile: "When did you start talking to this kid Mu Yuan?" Haven't you always looked down on her? ”
Li Shirui sneered and said, "I still don't look down on her." It's just that since she has married into my Protectorate Mansion, she is my daughter-in-law, and she can't be ridiculed and defiled by others. Besides......"
She stared at Xin Muyuan, who was standing in the crowd and was in thought, and raised her eyebrows: "It's not a shame for her. ”
The dignified lady of the world, especially after today, she will become the Duchess of the Protector of the Country, and it is really unreasonable to manage the beauty of the shadow in her hands, and then she will lose the name of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, which is even more pressing.
However, the addition of the grade in front is different.
This is more face-saving than the imperial businessman.
The emperor must have thought of this level, so he deliberately said that the emperor was not worthy of Xin Muyuan, and took advantage of the situation to temporarily add an official rank to Xin Muyuan.
From ancient times to the present, there has never been a woman with an official rank into the household department. And Xin Muyuan, her daughter-in-law, will become the first person in history!
Now that I am the focus of everyone, when I am being pointed at, I really feel very ashamed. But maybe in the near future, the glory she feels will surpass the current shame!
At this time, the parties who were being pointed at by the ministers were wondering whether if they took over this identity, whether it would cause the Duchess of the Protectorate to be angry.
She secretly glanced at Li Shirui and found that the woman she was worried about was looking at her intently, and her eyes were clear.
There was no support, no disgust, and no disgust, but she felt a scepter slowly passing from Li Shirui's hand into her palm.
And this scepter gave her the courage and confidence to do power.
In front of the ministers, against their accusations, Xin Muyuan slowly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
"What minister! You're just a businessman, what qualifications do you have, what right do you have to call yourself a vassal! ”
"Xin Muyuan, don't forget your identity! Don't think that if you follow Master Xie, you can really take the official rank for granted! Ask yourself if you are worthy! ”
"Interesting, after all, I'm still a businessman, I really think I'm such a powerful official, hahaha!"
Sneering voices came from all directions, Xin Muyuan moved his ears, listened to their words, and clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that they do not agree with your decision, and they are unwilling to follow your decision. Otherwise, you might as well take back your life, I'm okay. If the ministers rebelled because of today's events, and caused the tragedy brought about by Xiao Changchang again, it would be more than worth the loss. ”
