"My girl, why are you still here!" Mother Jiang ran out of breath, "Hurry up and go to the front hall with the old slave to welcome the holy decree!" ”

Zhuo Ruoning had no choice but to put away the drawings and go to the front hall to take a look, the incense case had been placed inside, and the family had arrived.

Old Lady Zhuo and the two masters, as well as other guests with official positions, were all wearing official uniforms, and the Lin family and the Li family also changed into grand costumes.

She was the last one to arrive, and she attracted everyone's attention. Zhuo Li frowned and showed a dissatisfied look, and when Lin saw her, he quickly pulled her behind him and stood up.

"The second emperor and grandson forgive the sin, and now the people are here." Zhuo Li carefully made amends.

The second emperor and grandson are used to having a good temper, and they have taught Zhuo Ruoning for a few days, so they can be regarded as having the friendship of master and apprentice, and they don't care about her confused little problems.

"It doesn't matter." He winced at Zhuo Ruo and laughed quietly: "The fifth girl is ready, there is a surprise today." ”

The Zhuo family had already been mentally prepared, and the Lin family was even more happy, and couldn't wait to stare at the holy decree in Xu Jinchen's hand.

The other guests also vaguely heard the news that the emperor was going to marry Geng Zhuo's two families, and they all showed a smile.

Zhuo Ruoning was not happy at all, puffing out her face and slandering: "I don't know if it's surprise or fright." ”

Her eyes couldn't help but drift to Xu Jinchen, but Xu Jinchen looked indifferent, and didn't react to anything that happened in this hall, like a perfect cold beauty.

She turned her head to look at Geng Kan again, and said with her mouth: "What should I do?" ”

Geng Kan frowned and shook his head gently at her.

Zhuo Ruoning blamed him for not being able to think of a way, and looked at the fourth sister next to him, Zhuo Ruoyan stood with his head down, his face was as usual.

"Forget it," Zhuo Ruoning thought to herself: "He doesn't worry about what I'm anxious about, anyway, I don't have anyone I like now, who is not to marry?" ”

Everything was ready, and when the auspicious time came, everyone knelt down in rows to listen to the order.

Xu Jinchen held the tray in front of the second emperor grandson, and the second emperor grandson took one of them and unfolded it:

Mr. is virtuous and pure, erudite and trustworthy, and the supreme goodness of the sages and sages is comparable to the general......

He recited a word of praise from the elder, to the effect that Zhuo Yuan was knowledgeable, humble, taught and educated, and served the emperor and the crown prince loyally. The emperor thanked him for his merits and gave him a special reward of wine, meat, rice, grain and silver coins to congratulate him on his birthday.

He also said that he had applied for Zhishi many times on the grounds of his old age, and the emperor had not approved it because he was reluctant to talent, but now that he is old, he has allowed Zhishi.

But he is a scholar, it is a pity to go into hiding, the crown prince is about to go to the central capital to investigate, I hope that Zhuo Yuan can accompany him as a teacher, assist in completing the inspection task, and continue to shine for the imperial court.

Zhuo Ruoning suspected that his grandfather was fired by the emperor, but he was the backbone of the Zhuo family and couldn't have an accident.

She cautiously peeked at everyone's reactions, but saw that everyone seemed to know the result, and even showed a hint of relief, so she put her heart back in her stomach.

Zhuo Yuan trembled and got up to accept the order, the second emperor and grandson hurriedly and respectfully helped him, and his students all came forward to congratulate.

The second emperor grandson also congratulated, and then picked up another letter: "Zhuo Ruoning listens to the order!" ”

was suddenly named, Zhuo Ruoning was so frightened that her heart trembled, thinking that she really couldn't hide.

Lin pushed behind her, and she had to reluctantly kneel in the front row.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:

I have heard the way of a gentleman, doing it is a blessing, not doing it is unfortunate, not doing it is not working, but it is a gentleman's lack of talent, causing the Tao to be stagnant for a while. The officials of China, since the Qin and Han dynasties, have been served by their husbands, and women have learned the four books of women, are good at embroidery and spinning, give birth to children, and husbands sing with women. However, people are different, and ambitions are big and small. Although Zhuo is a woman, she has broad ambitions, knows up and down, observes the subtleties, and serves the court with her fists. Zhuo's help to hoe the Yu clan traitorous party and remove the hidden danger of gunpowder in the Fuller House is a great achievement. Make an exception and order Er to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you are respectful! Chin this! "

Before the holy purpose was announced, the second emperor and grandson had not read the contents of it, only knew that one letter was awarded to Zhuo Ruoning alone, and he also thought it was a holy decree for marriage, but who knew that it was actually an official.

For a moment there was silence in the front hall, and a needle drop could be heard.

Only Zhuo Ruoning stretched her neck and looked around in ignorance, secretly happy in her heart: Isn't it a marriage? That's great!

"Receive the Order!" Zhuo Li reacted first and reminded her in a low voice.

Zhuo Ruoning kowtowed and thanked her, stepped forward to receive the holy decree, patted her chest and smiled at Liu Xiao: "Fortunately, it's not a marriage, it scared me." ”

Liu Xiao looked incredulous, pointed to the holy decree and said, "This is scary, isn't it?" ”

Everyone got up, but they didn't disperse, and the front hall suddenly became lively, and everyone turned their heads and ears to determine whether they had heard it wrong, and whether the emperor was joking.

Zhuo Xiao and Geng Kan came over and checked the holy decree together to make sure that Liu Xiao had not made a mistake.

Lin asked for a long time, "What does this mean?" Let Nian Nian be an official? So what's the matter, she's still a child - no, no, she's a woman, how can a woman be an official? ”

Her question was also everyone's question, and the other officials even forgot to congratulate her, waiting for the second emperor grandson to explain with a puzzled expression.

But the second emperor and grandson themselves were confused, when he got the holy decree, he only knew Zhuo Yuan Zhishi, and he also heard his father say that the emperor wanted to give Geng Kan and Zhuo Ruoning marriage, but how did the holy decree of marriage become an official?

The development of the matter is beyond everyone's understanding, Zhuo Cheng gave Zhuo Li a look, and said with a smile: "I am tired of the second emperor and grandson to run hard, the lower officials have set up a feast in the hall, please invite the second emperor and grandson to enjoy the face, I don't know if you are here, the wine and food are simple, don't blame." ”

Liu Xiao smiled at this time: "Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Zhuo doesn't have to be formal, I'll play with Zhuo Xiao and them, you can get busy." ”

There are two emperors and grandsons who let go, and everyone is ready to disperse.

"Niannian, follow me!" Zhuo Li, Lin and Zhuo Xiao shouted in unison.

Zhuo Ruoning: "......"

Zhuo Xiao entertained the second emperor's grandson, maybe he could learn something from him, and the Lin family was not ignorant, so he quickly changed his words: "It's okay, it's okay, you go to play with your second brother." ”

The green tendons on Zhuo Li's forehead jumped, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you playing, she is now an official of the imperial court, where is she going to play?" ”

Hearing the words "Imperial Court Official", Lin stumbled under his feet and almost didn't stand firm.

Zhuo Ruoning and Zhuo Xiao went to cross the courtyard, rubbed to Liu Xiao's side, and said strangely: "Second Emperor Sun, why would the emperor let me be an official?" Besides, what does the secretary do? ”

"I don't know what Grandfather Huang's arrangement is."

"The secretary of the Ministry of Rites belongs to the Department of Rites and Departments, and from the nine products, he is in charge of clerical work such as urging supervision, auditing, writing off, and books." Zhuo Xiao explained to her.

Zhuo Ruoning had a headache and said: "I'm most afraid of those clerical things, and asking me to calculate the earth and stone is better than this." ”

And she just made a few friends, and said that she would help her dye her nails with impatiens in the afternoon, if she went to work in the yamen, wouldn't it be good to dye her nails red?

Why do you have to go to work more than you dress? Zhuo Ruoning was a little broken.
