Praising a woman is nothing more than praising how beautiful her appearance is, or how graceful her figure is, but it is too shallow for the queen.

Zhu Shun's words did not have any praise, but they hit the heart of the queen's mother.

Chongzhen is now facing the pressure of the Donglin Party to control the government, and urgently needs a group of loyal and courageous courtiers to maintain the imperial power.

The queen is a generation of virtuous queens, and she is Chongzhen's virtuous helper.

Sure enough.

Empress Zhou did not have any joy or anger on her face, but her words already showed her inner thoughts: "Your Majesty, although the great merit this time is made by Xu Jixin, as the commander of the division, the industrial marquis has the merit of education, and it must be rewarded." ”

Chongzhen deeply agreed with Queen Zhou's words, but since this matter was raised by the queen, she still took all the favors: "The queen thinks how to reward it." ”

Queen Zhou and her husband have been together for so many years, and they understood what Chongzhen meant, and their red lips lightly opened: "The industrial marquis is not willing to be an official in the court, so it is better to reward Yun Niang with a six-grade lady." ”

From a flat-headed commoner to eight levels in a row, he became a six-rank wife, which will definitely attract a large number of Donglin Party officials in the past.

It's not the same as before, and Zhu Shun is not a small ambassador of the nine grades, he is already an industrial marquis, and he has rewarded a six-grade lady in the past.

Several Shangshu raised their eyelids and glanced at Queen Zhou, but they didn't expect that this queen mother, who was knitting female popularity in the harem all day long, had such a good grasp of people's hearts.

Mrs. Liupin's Destiny is not only a great reward for Yun Niang, after all, she was even promoted to the eighth level, and Zhu Shun didn't have this treatment back then.

also suppressed the bottom line in the hearts of the Donglin Party, as long as it is not the wife of the Five Grades, the Donglin Party will not say anything.

In addition, Zhu Shun's mother was also taken into account.

Zhu Shun's mother is the lady of the Five Grades, if Yun Niang, the daughter-in-law, is higher than the rank of her mother-in-law, who will salute whom when they meet in the future?

Whether it is a high rank or the same rank, Yun Niang can't escape the name of unfilial piety, and good things become bad things.

The degree of delicacy is really impressive.

Zhu Shun didn't expect that he could still pick up a lady for nothing, a great good thing, and respectfully thanked him: "Thank you for the emperor's gift, thank the queen for her kindness." ”

After Chongzhen rewarded Zhu Shun's master and apprentice, no matter how much he wanted to control the Ten Dragons a few times, he could only let go of this idea and return to the Forbidden City.

Chongzhen's Luan drove back, this matter was over, and Zhu Shun also went home first.

took Xu Jixin to his house again, although the matter of marrying the princess was decided by his teacher, Xu Jixin's parents had to make up their minds.

A few days later.

After Zhu Shun and Yun Niang went to the palace to thank him, they went home with Xu Jixin.

Came to the old house of the Xu family.

Xu Jixin's father and several elders of the Xu family's ancestral hall, who got the news in advance, respectfully waited for Zhu Shun at the gate of the old mansion, and the door had not been opened for many years.

The door is open.

Zhu Shun and Xu Jixin's father and other Xu family elders greeted in the lobby, Xu Jixin ran to guard filial piety on behalf of his father, his father rushed back, and he must leave someone in front of his grandfather's grave.

The ancestral tomb of the Xu family is on a hill, which is a piece of feng shui treasure land selected by the ancestors of the Xu family.

Walking up the bluestone mountain road, the bluestone mountain road is very wide, but there is no snow and fallen leaves, obviously someone often cleans.

The bluestone mountain road is flanked by large pine forests.

All of them are famous products transplanted from Huangshan, the crown is flat, and the trunk is curved, revealing a simple, steady and majestic momentum.

Xu Jixin walked to the mountain gate, which was also the entrance to the ancestral tomb of the Xu family, but two large bluestones were simply placed.

There is still a distance between the mountain gate and the ancestral tomb, which is enough to put down eighteen archways, which shows the ambition of the ancestors of the Xu family.

It's a pity that the road from the mountain gate to the ancestral tomb is bare and nothing.

Xu Jixin went around the ancestral tomb and found the largest mausoleum, which was the mausoleum of his grandfather Xu Guangqi and the mausoleum of the only cabinet chief assistant of the Xu family.

Although according to Xu Guangqi's last wish, everything is simple, and then simple, the construction is also very carved and flowery.

After all, this is not only the ancestral tomb of the Xu family, but also the tomb of a cabinet chief assistant of the imperial court, which is related to the face of the imperial court.

Xu Jixin came to his grandfather's grave with a basket of incense and candle offerings, and there were already a bunch of people standing here, all of whom were the children of the ancestral hall of his hometown, and were worshipping this old Xu Ge who was dedicated to the country and the people.

At the end of the worship, hundreds of disciples of the Great Ancestral Hall turned around and saw Xu Jixin carrying incense and candle offerings, and they were all stunned.

There was a trace of bitterness on Xu Jixin's face, and he didn't dare to face the shame of these villagers.

Although these children of the great ancestral hall have different surnames from him, their ancestors have lived together for generations, worshiped as brothers with different surnames, married by in-laws, and so on for many years.

Many people who are older than Xu Ji's salary, or even those who are the age of Huajia, may call him uncle or grandfather.

is younger than Xu Jixin, even if it is a child who was born this year, according to the seniority, Xu Jixin may have to call his uncle.

At the beginning, Xu Jixin left here to go to the Metallurgical Research Institute according to his grandfather's last wishes, and completely exploded among these villagers, causing public anger.

Whenever Qingming, Chongyang, Zhongyuan and other festivals will come to worship grandpa, there are many villagers who are blocked at the door of their hometown, and some of them scold them.

Villagers with a more irritable temperament, no matter if you are a disciple of the industrial marquis or the son of the emperor, you will beat this unfilial descendant if you roll up your sleeves.

If Xu Jixin hadn't brought a few officials from the county with him every time he came over, maybe he would have been beaten up a long time ago.

As for the riflemen of the Xiangyong battalion, Xu Jixin has never dared to bring them, and the riflemen are indeed more powerful than the servants holding water and fire sticks.

But where would the villagers be afraid of riflemen from other places, as long as they dare to hurt people, it will definitely lead to a large-scale ancestral hall fight.

The official is different, he has accumulated a lot of prestige in the township for many years, and the villagers who surrounded him after scolding two sentences dispersed.

Xu Jixin didn't dare to face these villagers today, not because he was afraid of being beaten, if he was really punched twice, he would feel better.

The main reason is that he has no face to face these villagers, and he is ashamed to praise these villagers who have praised him for being sensible and filial since childhood.

However, the next move of the villagers made Xu Jixin stunned.

Among the villagers, there are all those who are younger than him, including teenagers, middle-aged men, and white-haired old men.

They all knelt on the ground, and 'bang', 'bang', and 'bang' knocked their heads together three times.

The seniors are older than Xu Ji's salary, or they are the same generation, all of them bowed respectfully and did not get up for a long time.

Xu Jixin stayed in place.

Laughing and crying.
