Mrs. Tai glanced meaningfully at the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family, Shen, before she said angrily to her second daughter-in-law, Huang: "The in-laws finally came to stay for one night, how can we be lazy?" - Why don't you hurry up and arrange a place for your in-laws? ”

The Huang family was busy pleading guilty to the Pei family's blessings, and took the maid out to find someone to settle the Pei family's visitors.

The Pei family came with a lot of people today. The Huang family let the daughters of the Pei family live in the Wuliu Courtyard in the inner courtyard. Wuliuyuan is close to the second gate, the main house has three major rooms, one bright and two dark, and the other left and right wings are complete, delicate and small, generally used to entertain the noble female dependents.

The men of the Pei family were led by Marquis Ning Yuan and lived in the guest room in the outer courtyard.

The next day, the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion officially hung white, mourned, and reported the funeral everywhere. He also arranged for various stewards and mothers-in-law to receive relatives and friends who came to mourn in the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard respectively, as well as Ning Yuanhou's colleagues in the court, as well as relatives, friends and colleagues of the Pei family.

For a while, the street in front of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion was white, with people coming and going, and it was very lively.

The second and third daughters-in-law of the Pei family also came to the door with a few children the next day to kowtow to their eldest aunt.

Mrs. Xia was in a lot of pain last night, and her health was a little bad. Master Pei saw that the funeral in Marquis Ning Yuan's mansion had been handled seriously, so he left Pei Shuli, the third young master of the Pei family, to watch here, and the others went back to Pei's mansion with him.

The fourth lady, Pei Shufen, waited all night, and did not wait for the Hou Ye to mention the matter of family affairs to her mother-in-law. The two sisters don't know what the purpose is, and they refuse to let her go alone, no matter what they do, they have to ask the three sisters to act together, which is really bitter for Pei Shufen alone.

Mrs. Xia only remembered her two grandsons, and when she was leaving, she told Jiang's mother, Hong's mother and Tong Luqian to be careful and not slack off. These two grandsons are children who her daughter exchanged her life for, and Mrs. Xia decided that no matter what, she would let the two children grow up smoothly.

Mother Jiang is Chu Qianyi's nurse, and Mother Hong is Chu Qianqian's nurse. The two of them were both nurses found by Pei Shufan's mother's family back then, so they were naturally trusted by the Pei family, and they were not the children of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. Their deeds are all in Pei Shufan's hands. As soon as Pei Shufan died, her companion room and marriage should have been passed on to Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian.

The two children are still young now, and Mrs. Xia discussed with her eldest daughter-in-law, Shen, whether to take Pei Shufan's deed of companionship back to the Pei family to keep it first, so as not to put it in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and let others handle it, which would be a bad thing.

Shen listened, thought about it, and persuaded Mrs. Xia: "Mother, this matter must be considered in the long run. Now that the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion is the time for funerals, Tonglu is a shrewd person, and Mother Jiang and Mother Hong are also capable people. We've just beaten a few concubines and aunts in their house, so it shouldn't be okay for the time being. ”

Mrs. Xia looked at Shen, took her hand and patted it, and said, "You have a point. Mother listens to you, you have this heart for Shu Fan, I am not blind, I can see it clearly. You are the eldest aunt of two children, and in the future, you have to worry more about it, and you can't do it outside. ”

Shen was a little ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "My mother praised it." The daughter-in-law has not done anything for her eldest sister over the years. This time, the daughter-in-law will definitely help the eldest sister and bring her two children home to take care of them. ”

Mrs. Xia knew that the Shen family had always been a good person, and ordinary people couldn't find faults. This time, she found that Shen was not only proficient in the law, but also shot when it was time to make a move, never soft, and not afraid of causing trouble, and she must fight for what should be argued, not at all like the foolish and virtuous woman who used to use the room to entrap her husband when she was at home.

While the two were talking, the cart in front of them had already arrived at Pei's mansion.

As soon as the group got out of the car, the chief steward of the Pei family was already sweating profusely and ran over and said, "I've seen the master, the lady, the young master, and the young grandmother." ——The saint just sent the king of Anjun with his inner servants to announce the decree, and the little one was about to go to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion for a trip, but it happened that everyone came back. ”

When Master Pei heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to set up the incense case, and the whole family knelt in front of the incense case and listened to the edict of the servant.

The chamberlain held the Ming and Huang edicts and read to the people of the Pei family: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict: Pei Shuren, the attendant of the Jin Hanlin Academy, is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy." Chin this! ”

Master Pei and Mrs. Xia looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.

The eldest young master, Pei Shuren, held back the surprise in his heart, stood up, and respectfully received the holy decree from the hand of the inner attendant.

Fan Shicheng, the king of Anjun, who was standing with his hands behind his back, walked over and patted Pei Shuren's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Pei's family has a family history, and he has a top talent, he has been practicing in the state capital below for ten years, and now it is also time to show his talents." ”

A few days ago, when Pei Shuren just went to Beijing, he was summoned by the Holy Paper, and he was directly transferred from the local official Yuezhou Tongzhi to the Hanlin Academy in Beijing. Clear-eyed people know that this is preparing for the Pei family's eldest young master to enter Wenyuan Pavilion. It's just that if you want to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion, you generally have to be a scholar of the Hanlin Academy before you are officially eligible to enter the Cabinet. And the people of the Great Qi Dynasty also knew that there was only one place for scholars at Hallym University. The current bachelor of Hanlin Academy is also a famous champion, that is, in the case of Jian Shihong, the prince of Zhenguo, he raised his arms and shouted, so that students from all over the world gathered in their hearts.

"The prince praised the dog falsely. It's just that I don't know what happened to He Siping, the original bachelor of Hanlin Academy, now? Master Pei also got up and asked.

King Anjun greatly respected Pei Lixing, the first assistant of the Three Dynasties, and when he saw him asking, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Taifu is polite." This He family also received the holy decree today, and He Siping has now entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the left inspector of the imperial history. ”

The scholar of the Hanlin Academy is the fifth grade, and the left inspector Yushi is the second grade. He Siping has been promoted six levels in a row, which shows that the saint is quite long.

When Master Pei heard that Wannian Hanlin He Siping had been promoted to Inspector Zuo's Imperial History, he was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What about the original Yang Imperial History?" ”

Hanlin He Siping is also the champion of the Longqing Dynasty, one session earlier than Master Pei, and three years older than Master Pei. It's just that He Siping is upright and has a bumpy career, and Master Pei has now returned to his hometown after the first assistant of the three dynasties, and he He Siping has just entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Taifu Pei is worthy of being the first assistant of the Three Dynasties, and he really can't hide anything from Taifu. ——Yesterday, Yang Yushi broke the bones of the begging son, and the saint immediately allowed it. King Anjun seemed to be very sorry, but there was a look of urgency between his eyebrows.

Master Pei suddenly nodded and said, "He is also in his seventies and almost eighty years old, and he should have begged for bones a long time ago." "Begging for bones means asking for retirement.

Yang Yushi has to pretend to "beg" once a year, and the position of the saint is unstable in the past few years, of course, it is better to be motionless than quiet. In terms of personnel, he basically focused on the old people, and did not remove the new ones at the beginning, so the first few times, the saint rejected his excerpts.

Now it seems that the Holy One has been on the throne for three years, and his position is becoming more and more secure, and it is time to start using his own people.

"Okay, there are two more holy decrees, let's announce them together." King Anjun saw that it was not early, and he still had to go to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion to announce the decree, so he hurriedly urged the inner servant.

The people of the Pei family hurriedly knelt down again.

The remaining two holy decrees, one is that Pei Shuyi, the second young master of the Pei family, was transferred from the original Tongzhi of Huizhou from Liupin, to the Zhizhou of Yuezhou from Wupin, taking over the previous position of his eldest brother Pei Shuren. In terms of grade, it has been upgraded by two levels.

The third way is even more intriguing, it is Pei Shuli, the third young master who moved to the Pei family, from the original experience of the South Mansion of Qipin Mountain, to the experience of being transferred from the Governor of the Chinese Army of Wupin, and was promoted to four levels in a row. And it was transferred from the civilian system to the military general system that has always been controlled by hereditary nobles. This is the first time in the entire Great Qi Dynasty.
