Chapter 124: Jade Sticker
With this shout, a palace car drove towards the side of General Yipin's Mansion.
The palace carriage is different from the ordinary carriage, not all the carriages in the palace can be called palace carriages, and not everyone is qualified to sit in the palace carriage.
The people who can sit in the palace car either have a good status and status, such as the emperor and queen, the prince and the princess and concubine, or they have a good status with the master, and they are also the emperor, the queen, the prince, the princess and the princess.
In short, the palace car and the palace car are for the people in the palace and for the royal family. The official eunuchs outside, even if they are as expensive as the general's mansion, their own cars can only be called carriages, not palace cars.
There is also a difference in appearance between the horse-drawn carriage and the palace carriage. Needless to say, horse-drawn carriages are commonplace, with horses and carriages. If the family is wealthy, they should have a few more horses and a larger carriage. If the family background is average, just pull a small carriage with a horse.
Not so with the palace car!
The carriage of the palace car is square, with at least four wheels underneath, and there is a platform outside the carriage for the maid to stand steadily. There are also curtains around the platform, which will be lowered when the sun is too hot, and it will be lowered on rainy and cloudy days.
In short, the palace car is luxurious, and the body is relatively large.
The little eunuch who delivered the post to the old lady also encountered this palace car, and the coachman hurriedly avoided it, and the wheels were about to rub the fence on the side of the road, so he reluctantly invited the palace car over.
At that time, the coachman turned around to look, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't understand which master's palace car, only saw a purple-clothed eunuch standing on the platform outside the carriage, all holding things in their hands, and it seemed that they were giving gifts to the Yipin General's Mansion.
The two of them stopped on the side of the road and talked for a while, and the coachman said that he was going to send things to the general's mansion this year, and the night family should be scraping the edge of a courtier, and the new emperor is definitely not all the way.
But looking at the huge palace car that just passed, I felt that what I was thinking was wrong.
In short, whether it is right or wrong, it is not their business. They are just low-level eunuchs in the palace, and being able to be sent out to deliver posts can already be regarded as a face given to them by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Not to mention how the little eunuch guessed and sighed, just said that the palace car stopped at the gate of General Yipin's mansion.
The person who just shouted was Yun Chen, and at this moment he took the lead and spoke to Mu Shi happily: "I came here next night, so that the eldest lady has been waiting for a long time." As he spoke, he reached out and handed over a post.
At this time, the other two people in the palace carriage had also walked down, and the two of them stood half a step behind Yun Chen, one left and one right.
"Qin Heavenly Supervisor Yunchen!"
"Yanhua Palace is in time!"
"Wu No, the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
"Greetings to the eldest lady! I respectfully invite the eldest lady, the eldest young master, and the eldest lady to enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve and participate in the palace banquet! ”
The three of them bow together, representing the supreme authority of today.
The post was handed forward again, and the old lady squinted at it and found that it was actually a gold post. Looking at the plain post in his hand again, his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Mu Shi was not surprised or pleased, calmly and steadily, and motioned to Ye Qingmei to take the post, and then said to the three people: "You don't have to be polite. A palace banquet, the three of them personally delivered the post, I really dare not take it. ”
Yun Chen hurriedly answered: "The eldest lady is too modest, if you can't bear it, then no one can afford it." ”
Mama Ji, who had been following Mu Shi's side, asked very intimately: "Is everything okay in the palace?" ”
Lian Shi took the initiative to answer: "Mama rest assured, everything is fine, and it is very good." After speaking, he nodded meaningfully at Muhammad.
Mu Shi was relieved, Ye Feiyu was also relieved, and even Ye Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief.
After what happened in these days, Ye Qingmei felt that she seemed to have grown up, a little different from before. At least the moment the post was picked up, the first thing that came to mind was to raise my eyebrows, and finally pull back a game from the old lady.
Yun Chen glanced at the invitation received by the old lady, and said "yo", "The General's Mansion got Su Tie this year!" Also, the old general and the general are gone, and there is really no need to go to the brocade post, it's too wasteful. ”
There are a lot of rules in Northern Qi, for example, this post, the usual official household exchanges basically use plain posts, for example, which official residence has a banquet, and the posts handed out are all plain posts.
Plain post is the usual paper post, you can match your own fancy, there is not too much attention, the official residence is used.
But when it comes to palace banquets, there are more types of posts, and the worst of them is silver posts.
The silver post is made of silver thread weaving and embroidery, and the cost is relatively high, but it is only a drop in the bucket for the royal family. Therefore, the royal banquet is sent to officials below the third grade, and it should be this kind of silver post.
On top of the silver post is the brocade post, the brocade post is more exquisite, it is woven into a pattern by brocade, and ironed to the harder paper. There are not only brocade forging, but also embroidery, generally more than three officials received this kind of brocade post.
The brocade post is further up is the gold post, the gold post as the name suggests, is a post woven and embroidered with gold wire, and not only gold wire, but also a small gold pendant will fall in the corner of the post.
The golden post can only be used by the royal family, so those who can receive the golden post are the relatives of the emperor, such as the Li family, the mother family of the Empress Dowager Li, and then the princess's mansion.
For the royal family, the most valuable thing is the gold post. But in fact, there is a kind of jade post above the golden post, which is something that only the emperor can use. It's a pity that for more than 400 years, the emperor has never invited anyone, and he has never asked Yu Mingti to ask for anyone. Therefore, such a thing as a jade post has always existed in legends, everyone has heard of it, but no one has ever seen it.
The old lady was so sarcastic that Yun Chen was so unhappy that she replied casually: "Mu is just a courtier, even if the men in the family are still there, at most they will receive the gold post, why would the palace send the gold post out?" ”
Yun Chen glanced at the post that Ye Qingmei took in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
When it came to Wu Wei, he took over the words and said, "The emperor regards the fourth lady as a benefactor, and the benefactor's mother and brother and sister are naturally qualified to receive the golden post." This is a royal reward and the importance of the fourth lady's family. ”
The old lady was even more angry, "The emperor is not in charge yet!" ”
"Huh." Wu Wei laughed dryly, with a sly expression, "Don't worry, old lady, the emperor is still young, but the New Year will be seventeen, and he is getting closer and closer to the pro-government." You see that you are in a hurry, your eyes are red, and you don't know that you think you are looking forward to the emperor! Why don't we go back and mention it to the emperor, let him think more about the heart of the old lady at night, and come and go with the old lady often in the future? ”
The old lady's heart trembled, and her face became more and more ugly.
How could she face that little emperor, she dreamed that the little emperor would quickly get off the throne and make room for His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness, whom she had supported for many years. It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Sixth is useless, and she and Empress Dowager Li have never had the opportunity to explain the misunderstanding face-to-face.
She was still thinking about meeting the Queen Mother at the New Year's Palace banquet and talking about the things of these days. Now is not the time to turn her face with the Empress Dowager Li, although His Royal Highness No. 6 will not succeed, but she just thinks that the Empress Dowager Li still has a chance to turn around.
Besides, her eyes are red at this time, and she is not in a hurry, she is angry and envious.
Mu Qianqiu was able to receive the gold post, why did Mu Qianqiu accept the gold post? She has never received a gold post in her life, the maximum is brocade, and now she is alive and back, and she only got a plain post!
No wonder she felt that something was wrong just after receiving the post, if it wasn't for Yun Chen, she would have forgotten about it.
When did the status of the night family plummet, and for what reason?
The more the old lady thought about it, the more she held her breath, and she couldn't help but glance at Ye Qingmei's hand again.
This glance was never returned, not only did it not come back, but a pair of eyes widened and widened.
She may be blind, or she is old and confused, otherwise how could she have just looked away.
Where is this gold post, it is clearly a jade post! It's just that the jade is inlaid in the middle of the gold, and she only looks at a gold edge, so she thinks it's a gold post. But I didn't expect that the gold post was not worthy of Mu Qianqiu, and the royal family actually invited the jade post!
No, no, it's not a royal jade post. There is only one person who can afford to use the jade post today, and that is the emperor!
Her body shook, and her eyes were a little dark.
Yun Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, he wanted to laugh when the old lady was entangled with the golden post just now, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he opened his mouth and said: "The old lady of the night is not very good at this look!" ”
Lian Shi nodded, "But isn't it, what did you say that you had been talking to Gonggong Wu for a long time?" This is not a golden post sent by the royal family, can you say it? ”
The old lady was very shameless, so she wanted to hurry back and close the door, no one would see her, and she didn't want to see anyone. She just wanted to think about her life, ponder how Mu Qianqiu got into a jade post, and then ponder what was going on with Ye Wenyan, whether she was alive or dead, and who her backer was.
But the three people in front of him didn't plan to leave, and even broke up with her: "Old lady Night is really confused, if you just send a golden post, then it is enough for Gonggong Wu to come, how can it be that our family and Master Yun also come with us?" Our family and Master Yun are here in person, so don't you know what it means? ”
Wu Wei sang and drank with him: "If you don't talk about this person, you will know the advance and retreat when you get older, and people who are too old are no longer suitable to be the masters of the house." When people are old, their memory is easy to be bad, and their brains are not clear, and it is easy to break things in one sentence. Take today's matter as an example, if this is a different person who understands, it will never ask more. Even if it's not a jade post but a gold post, it shouldn't be asked. Because the gold post represents the royal family, who dares to question the royal family? ”
Yun Chen shook his head when he heard this, "No, no, everyone knows that the old lady of the Ye family has no contact with the current saint, even with the Empress Dowager of the East Palace. So it's right for her old man to question the royal family, after all, she didn't take the emperor very seriously! ”
The old lady of the night broke out in a cold sweat......
