It's the end of May, and the weather is getting hotter.

Xie Xiuwen came back in a hurry this day, and as soon as he entered the door, he ordered someone to prepare an incense case immediately.

Liu Ruolan was confused, and it wasn't until a eunuch came to the door that she knew that this was a happy event.

After saluting and thanking her, Liu Ruolan was stupid.

Or Xie Xiuwen personally sent the eunuch out, and he didn't forget to send a big red envelope.

"I, I'm going to have a fate?"

"Well, if you walk around the capital, it can be cheaper to have a decree on you, and it will save some people from looking down on you all the time."

Liu Ruolan was happy in her heart, according to the rules, a woman's fate is one level lower than that of her own man.

Xie Xiuwen is the fourth grade, then Liu Ruolan is from the fourth grade.

If a woman wants to obtain the glory of "Lady of Destiny", she must first meet three conditions.

The first is to become an official dependent, and the second is a wife, and the concubine is not qualified to be named a lady at all. The third husband must be a high-ranking official in the court and have made great contributions to the court.

The rules of the Dazhi Dynasty are not so strict, as long as the male official reaches the fifth rank, he can ask for a decree for his family.

When he was in charge of the matter, he also thought about asking his wife for a seal, but he felt that if the official wife of the fifth grade was not enough, it would be better to work hard and strive to get the fourth grade of the wife to her.

Xie Xiuwen knew that his official position was promoted quickly, but within three or five years, he didn't want to go any further in his position of being a fourth-grade person.

Therefore, this time, in the name of meritorious investigation of the case, I asked the emperor for a reward.

Even if Xie Xiuwen didn't make such a contribution, he would ask for a seal, and Emperor Jingwen would allow it.

It's just not as happy as it is now, and it can be more decent.

Emperor Jingwen not only gave Mrs. Edict, but also ordered people to send a lot of rewards, basically based on silk silk.

Liu Ruolan was so excited that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

She knew too well the weight of this Lady of Commandment.

Ordinary women can't get rewards through their own efforts, and they must rely on the aura of their husbands or sons to have a chance to be named Mrs. Fate.

Therefore, many women encourage their husbands and sons to gain fame, firstly, in the hope of changing the poor family environment and turning from poor to rich; The other is that he wants to touch his husband's light, if his husband has made meritorious contributions to the court, he can still get a reward, wouldn't he be happy.

Liu Ruolan has never thought about this problem, because she feels that her husband is an official, then she is an official's wife, which is already very good.

Now that he has won the seal, he is simply overjoyed.

Xie Rongzhao also came over to read the holy decree, and felt that A-Niang's life was really bitter.

The benefits of the seal are simply too big!

First of all, after being given the title by the emperor, you can receive the imperial court's salary.

You don't need to do anything to receive it, this is the court's favor to you, and it is also a way to win people's hearts.

Of course, although Mrs. Decree can obtain the court's wealth, she does not have any real power in her hands.

In addition, there is the privilege of being able to enter the palace to participate in the royal celebrations.

Liu Ruolan has been in Beijing for a few years, but she has not participated in a palace banquet, the reason is because she has no rank and is not qualified to enter the palace to participate in the banquet.

The higher the status of women, the less likely they are to go out and rarely show their heads.

If you are made a lady, you can go to the palace to attend a banquet. Whenever there is a celebration, the queen will organize a banquet, and the lady of the decree is also invited.

Finally, there is the privilege that if Mrs. Decree commits an offence, ordinary officials cannot convict her.

This point is also the most useful point that Xie Rongzhao thinks, which can give A-Niang a guarantee.

This point is also the most useful point that Xie Rongzhao thinks, which can give A-Niang a guarantee.

Although Mrs. Decree has these three privileges, there is also a rule that her husband cannot remarry after his death. Once remarried, the imperial court will take back the title of Mrs. Decree.

Basically no one cares about this.

Originally, there were very few women who married for the second time, and Liu Ruolan and Xie Xiuwen had a friendship since childhood, if something really happened, she would not remarry.

Liu Ruolan has now become the wife of the fourth grade, and looking at the women in Beijing and abroad, she can be regarded as having a certain status.

Because of this decree, Liu Ruolan will have a lot more entertainment in the future.

On this day, Liu Ruolan took Gu and a little girl to the banquet, while Xie Rongzhao stayed at home to learn the piano.

Eleven-year-old Xie Rongzhao is still playing the piano well, but the words are practiced quite beautifully, in Gao's words, she has an aura in this word, and she has worked hard at a glance.

Chen Xia trotted all the way into the hospital, and ran into the house without even breathing, Wang Zizhen saw it and reprimanded twice: "What does it look like!" ”

Chen Xia gasped sharply, patted his chest with one hand, and pointed out with the other, and said, "Miss, a man who claims to be from the Xie clan has come to visit, and he said that he brought your cousin to greet the lord and the lady." ”

Xie Rongzhao's fingers swiped it, and the piano was also out of tune.

"Who are you talking about?"

Chen Xia finally breathed his breath at this time: "Claiming to be a relative of the Gaoyang Xie clan, oh, he said that according to the generation, you should call him a cousin." ”

Xie Rongzhao is a little strange, his cousin is now in the capital, where did he come out of his cousin?

And cousins?

Inexplicably, an extremely bad premonition crept up.

Xie Rongzhao didn't change his clothes, and directly ordered someone to go to the front hall with her.

"Let people enter through the corner gate, don't alarm others, I'll see who is coming first."

"Yes, miss. It's just that a foreign man comes to the door, is it inappropriate for you to go and entertain the guests yourself? ”

"Don't be afraid, there are Mama Wang and Mama He."

Xie Rongzhao didn't say more, there are so many nursing homes outside, and none of them are vegetarians.

Besides, with Uncle Fang here, who would dare to bully her?

Soon, a man and a woman were invited in, Xie Rongzhao squinted slightly, she didn't know the man, as for the woman, she could recognize it at a glance, it was not much different from a few years ago, at most she was a little taller, and her chin was sharper.

"Sister Zhao, I finally saw you."

Xie Ronglan was about to pounce on Xie Rongzhao as she spoke, but was stopped by Wang Zizhen, who was standing aside.

"This girl, please respect herself!"

Xie Ronglan was stopped, her expression was a little stiff for a while, and the look of whether she wanted to cry or not made people a little disgusted.

"Who are you?"

Xie Rongzhao said this to the young man.

"Oh, you're Sister Zhao, aren't you? By generation, you should call me a cousin. My grandfather is your grandfather in the lobby, my name is Xie Rongye, and I came to Beijing this time for family chores, and it happened that Sister Lan said that she wanted to come to visit Brother Hui, so I took her to Beijing with me. ”

The explanation is very straightforward, and it sounds fine.

But Xie Rongzhao is not so easy to deceive.

"Come on, please ask this Gongzi Xie to be wronged for the time being, Uncle Fang will go to the yamen to see if he can invite his father back, after all, I don't know this person, and I can't tell whether it's good or bad." (End of chapter)
