"Mei Hong, don't talk nonsense." Aunt Qin reprimanded Mei Hong with a much bigger belly, and said to Lotte: "Don't be angry, husband, your body is important now." ”

"Don't be angry, sir." Concubine Qu also said on the side, but then there was a little sadness in her tone: "Some time ago, I heard my aunt and grandmother say that the old man returned to Pingyu at night, but he left immediately, and he didn't even care about his home, and said that the old man became an official. ”

"The lord became an official? The slave doesn't believe it! Mei Hong stepped forward again and said in a very unobtrusive tone: "Look at the people who have become officials, which is not a big mansion that has entered the courtyard a few times before and after, and then look at our family is still crowded in this old mansion, or in a few months, the family will add Ding and mouth, and you will have to invite a nurse and a maid, and the place is even more crowded." ”

This time, it was Lingzi, who had always been silent, and he began to be a little dissatisfied with Lotte in his tone, "Half of Pingyu City was built by the master, how can the master be so honest, don't you know how to leave a big mansion for yourself?" ”

The house is becoming more and more crowded, and if you want to get a house for yourself, it is not a difficult task, but after all, you want to make a reputation. Although the peach blossom nunnery in the two courtyards by the Qinghe River in the south of the city is bigger, after all, it is outside the city, and the family is full of female dependents, so there is less sense of security when living there.

"The concubine remembers that the master became a state student, why did he suddenly become a military attache again?" Just when Lotte wanted to explain to the two concubines, Aunt Qin said again.

At the beginning, I learned from my sister Le's mouth that my master was a nine-grade official, and the two concubines and two maidservants were also very happy, but after a long time, I didn't feel anything.

Lotte couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he didn't know why he suddenly became the nine-rank military attache of the Imperial City Division, and subconsciously replied in his heart: "The military attache of the ninth rank is about to be promoted to the seventh rank." ”

"I'm afraid that the old man has a fever and burned his head, and there are problems with his mind, and it has only been a few days since he was promoted to a nine-rank official, and he has begun to dream of a seventh-grade official?" Mei Hong always thought that Lotte was promoted to a nine-rank official because of the pacification of the Huaikang Army mutiny.

There was still a little discomfort in her body, and Lotte was too lazy to worry about Mei Hong, so she only said to Concubine Qin: "Mei Hong, this girl is under good control, don't think that she is a girl in the room, I don't want to fix her, master." ”

Mei Hong doesn't talk much and likes it, her figure and appearance are not a few points weaker than Aunt Qin's, and now she is getting more and more out, and Lotte is a little reluctant to reprimand.

Hearing Lotte mention this sentence of the girl in the room, Mei Hong's face was as blushing as a red cloth, and she was busy looking for an excuse to go out and hide.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, Lingzi hurriedly went out to open the door, and then came back angrily: "As soon as the master goes home, he will provoke the goblin to come to the door." ”

Lotte knew that there must be another female trickster coming to the door, and was about to open his mouth to tell Lingzi to invite someone to enter the door, only to hear the sound of banging gongs and people outside.

After a while, I only heard someone calling outside, "Is Master Le at home?" ”

"My lord is sick, and no one will see him." Lingzi ran to the door and said helplessly at the appearance.

"Lingzi can't be rude, go out and see who is looking for the master?" Concubine Qu reprimanded Lingzi and commanded again.

Lingzi reluctantly answered, and was about to go out, but saw someone push the door and enter the house.

"Grandma!" Seeing the comer, Lingzi hurriedly stepped forward and called.

The person who came was Lotte's sister Leshi, Le's face at this time smiled like a flower, and said to Lotte: "Erlang is becoming more and more prosperous now, and the Jiupin official has not been promoted to the seventh grade in a few days, and he has glorified his ancestors for my Lejia." ”

Nine products really have to be promoted to seven grades? The two concubines and two maids of the Le family exclaimed.

Le Shi said again: "An official came to the county government to look for you, and was brought by your sister-in-law, and now there is good news hanging at the door." ”

"The two concubines avoided it first!" Hearing that someone was coming, the two concubines naturally couldn't see the guests with their stomachs, and retreated into the Westinghouse together.

It's coming so soon!

Lotte squinted his eyes, thought quickly in his heart, and then put on his clothes and made a sickly appearance and went out to greet him, only to see a sea of people at the door of the house, and there was a big red good news, with big characters on it: "Flying News: Your Mansion Lord Lego ascended to the mission of the Imperial City!" ”

Goodbye Li Du over there with shakuqi and Zhang Biao carrying a basket of copper coins, a lot of them were scattered into the pile, causing everyone to snatch the happy money, a lively image.

The person who sent the letter is surnamed Luo Mingyuan, he is a subordinate of Shi Gou as an official, a military attache of the eighth grade, although he doesn't know Lotte, but he has heard that Lotte Yunwen Yunwu, the credit for suppressing the mutiny of the soldiers is not covered, and in front of the emperor, he gave the face of the director of the imperial city, and at this time he saw Lotte with a smile on his face.

The two greeted each other for a while, and Lotte led Luo Yuan indoors.

The yamen of the Imperial City Division is at the gate of the capital, in addition to guarding the forbidden palace, the rest of the personnel sent out belong to the secret stake to sit and investigate, so naturally they can't reveal their identities, that is, if Lotte hadn't suppressed the mutiny, he wouldn't have exposed his identity.

entered the house, but the two did not catch up, and Luo Yuan talked about the process of accepting the edict for Lotte.

According to the process explained by Luo Yuan, Lotte bathed and changed. Then he burned incense in the main house, officially received the edict, and officially changed into a new seven-grade green official robe. Looking at his green official robe, Lotte always felt that there was a fly in the ointment, this green official robe was even more dazzling and ugly to wear, or the scarlet official robe of the six-grade official was eye-catching, which made Lotte complain that the official family was too careful, so he couldn't add a product to himself.

Leading Lotte to complete the process of accepting the edict, Luo Yuan sighed: "Lord Le is not married to the main room, if he marries the main room, he should be crowned a seven-rank lady." ”

The two concubines of the Le family laughed non-stop, and they all hid in the West House through the crack in the door to see their husbands completing the process of accepting the edict, at first hearing the news, Concubine Qu was fine, but Aunt Qin was ashamed, if it wasn't for her father who blocked her marriage with Lotte three times and twice, the flower crown of the seven grades of life would have been worn on her head.

Luo Yuan sighed, and said loudly: "The official family heard that Lord Le's parents died early, and he was brought up by his sister. ”

Le's, who was looking at the situation in the house with Li Dutou in the courtyard, couldn't close his mouth in shock for a while. When everyone heard this, they congratulated Le's and Li Dutou.

It was another cumbersome procedure.

After getting free, Luo Yuan and Lotte said: "The court has an order, before the new judge of Caizhou, Hu Cao joined the army, and the judicial army did not go to work, please ask Lord Le to assist Huang Tongju in handling the affairs of the state government." ”

coughed lightly twice, and Lotte said sickly: "Yesterday, Le Mou and Zhou Xuexue Zheng drank and talked about poetry and scriptures, and accidentally fell into the water, and now his body is still feverish, please tell Shangguan that Le Mou wants to rest for a while." ”

Luo Yuan's eyes were full of envy, and he praised: "Civil officials have always looked down on military attaches such as us, but I didn't expect that even those sour Confucians in Xuezheng would make friends with adults, and adults are really famous men with both civil and military skills." ”

Lotte is ashamed.

Luo Yuan said again: "Since Lord Le is in poor health right now, then the lower official will truthfully report to the top, and ask the adult to recuperate." ”

While speaking, Lotte asked again: "Does Lord Luo know that the court has rewarded Caizhou Ye Mengde, Ye Zhizhou, Pingyu County, Chen Zhixian and other adults?" ”

"None!" Luo Yuan replied.

Lotte was puzzled: "Why? The merits of several adults are not weaker than Le's. ”

"Ye Zhizhou beheaded the twenty-two people, and now the courtiers are arguing about this matter, and the official family has no decision for a while." Luo Yuan lowered his voice and said the things in the court, and said: "Lord Le belongs to my Imperial City Division, and he is not in the same system as the civil officials, so he issued a separate order to commend him. ”

It is inconvenient for him to go out, so Lotte asked his sister-in-law Li Dutou to entertain Luo Yuan on his behalf, and he couldn't help but send some silver money or something, and as for what fireworks he brought to, he was exempted.

Lotte's house was crowded, almost crowded from the inner room to the outer room, and finally the visitors had to wait outside the door, and waves came in to pay their respects.

That Aunt Qin's father, Qin Yuanwai, heard that Lotte's sister had been sealed, and beating his chest was even more annoyed, if he had allowed this family affair at the beginning, what a beautiful situation his Qin family was at this moment.

Pingyu is all the characters with heads and faces, and they have to visit and congratulate in the music house. Pingyu Zhixian is only an eight-rank official, while Lotte is a seventh-rank official, although it is only a military position, but it is the highest local official position.

The three masters of Pingyu County Ya were sitting in the county Yahua Hall and looking at each other at the moment, Chen Zhixian sighed in his heart that everything was unpredictable, at the beginning, Lotte was just a small official who single-handedly pulled the county Ya Si and the law team, but now he has become an official of a higher level than himself, and he went to pay respects, so he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

How can the small county where the emperor is far away know what happened in the court. At this time, the three lords of the county government kept complaining in their hearts about the inefficiency of the imperial court, and the three of them also contributed to the mutiny of the soldiers in Caizhou.

Embarrassment is embarrassing, but this etiquette can not be lost, and Lotte made a lot of suggestions and efforts when he was on an errand in the county, just this, the three masters of Pingyu County can not forget, and ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair to go to Lotte's home to congratulate.

What does it mean for the three masters of Yazhong to come to visit, which caused everyone to be even more amazed.

Seeing the three old men of the county government sitting in his home, Lotte couldn't help but feel a little emotional, at the beginning, these three old men shouted that they had been like pigs and dogs, and today they are on an equal footing with the three of them.

Of course, Lotte still greeted the three masters of the county government according to the rules and procedures, and greeted them a little before sending the three of them away.

After all, people come and go in the family today, and it is very inconvenient to discuss things, and some things can only be said slowly in the future.

Throughout the day, the music family flowed endlessly, and there was an endless stream of visiting guests. Tu Si and Zhang Biao were temporarily used as subordinates, and they were so tired that they could barely stand upright, but they still had a smile on their faces, and they looked like they were honored.

Those helpers who were eating with the errand were eating with them were even more envious at the moment, looking at the people who followed the right person, with their current status, even the official officials of the county had to accompany each other with a smile.
