Chapter 393: Xie'er is no longer alone
The east end of Xiahe Village is crowded with people. The news that Zhu Ping'an won the top prize is like a catalyst, boiling the sea of people.
Uncle Li, an old neighbor of Zhu Ping'an's house, once again sat on the roof of his house and saw clearly the large formation in the yard of Zhu Ping'an's house. Then he looked at the people climbing trees and climbing outside Zhu Ping'an's house. Uncle Li's face is full of pride among the people stepping on their feet. Who can compare with me? He can see clearly without any effort.
But the big fat dog in Uncle Li’s house is different. His voice was fine two days ago, and it has only been barking for a day. Today, so many strangers are passing by the door of the house. The big fat dog is He barked for a while, because there were too many strangers coming and going, so the big fat dog barked and became too tired to bark anymore.
“Everyone has worked hard, drink some water and have a rest.”
After Mrs. Chen gave the instructions to the carpenter Li Dahei, she warmly greeted the person who brought the good news to sit down for tea and a rest. According to the previous good news announcements of Zhu Ping'an's scholars, juren, and Huiyuan Dynasties, these good news announcers basically took a rest and had a wedding drink before leaving after announcing the good news and receiving the reward.
"Please wait a moment, madam."
To Chen's surprise, the servant who announced the good news did not sit down in a hurry, but seemed to have other errands.
"You're welcome, sit down." Mrs. Chen thought these guards were being polite, so she greeted her warmly. Ms. Chen was in high spirits during happy events. Her son won the top prize, and she was in a good mood. It couldn't be better, so I couldn't hide the smile on my face when I spoke.
However, a scene that surprised Chen appeared. Chen had just finished being polite, and then the scene that appeared in front of her eyes made her open her mouth in surprise.
Plop, plop
The guards in front of Chen all knelt down towards her, one after another, leaving Chen completely defenseless.
"What are you doing, get up?" Chen's eyes widened in surprise.
"The imperial edict has arrived"
Just when Chen was surprised, a well-spoken imperial edict came from behind.
Chen turned around in surprise and saw the well-dressed man to whom she had just stuffed the red envelope, slowly opening a bright yellow scroll in his hand.
In fact, just when Mrs. Chen warmly greeted the officer to sit down, this man stood up and took out a bright yellow scroll. The officer saw the man standing up and looked at the scroll again. They knew that He knelt down without hesitation.
The county magistrate quickly knelt down. The people watching outside in the yard dared to stand. They all knelt down in darkness. Uncle Li, who was in isolation, also knelt down on the roof without hesitation. , the brothers in the tree also knelt down with difficulty On the branch of the tree, even the big fat dog of Uncle Li’s house was held down by its front legs and knelt down without knowing who.
There were only two people standing at this moment, one of whom was holding the edict and reading out the edict. Lord of the Palace, the only one left is Chen.
The imperial edict has arrived. Kneel down quickly. Father Zhu, who had knelt down earlier, tugged on Mrs. Chen's clothes, and then Mrs. Chen knelt down belatedly.
Imperial decree?
The people in Xiahe Village were all shocked. It was actually an imperial edict? The ancestors and ancestors had a spiritual vision. This was the first imperial edict that Xiahe Village had seen in its history. This would give it a lot of bragging rights with people in the future.
Isn’t it good news that Zhu Ping’an won the top prize? Why is there still an imperial edict? What is this edict for?
People’s curiosity reached its peak at this moment.
"It is God's destiny, and the emperor's rule is said." The master of the palace stood there holding the imperial edict and began to announce.
"It is destiny that the emperor decides?" Zhu Pingjun, who was kneeling in the corner, heard the beginning of the imperial edict and bumped his father Li Shouren, who was also kneeling in the corner, with his arm, and said doubtfully, "Dad, isn't it all destiny? The emperor's edict? ?”
“What is the emperor’s edict? It’s always the emperor’s day? Don’t read those books that are not available in the future!” Upon hearing this, the uncle Zhu Shouren gave Zhu Pingjun a lesson, thinking that Zhu Pingjun It’s because I’ve read too many words.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred. At this moment, uncle Zhu Shouren was feeling very depressed. He was just venting his worries when Zhu Pingjun caught up with him. It would be strange if the uncle didn't give him a good meal. Of course, he would wait until the imperial edict was announced.
After reciting, the governor opened his mouth and continued to read: "Zhu Ping'an's mother, Mrs. Chen, has a good reputation in herself, is virtuous and virtuous, and teaches her children well. She ordered Zhu Ping'an's mother, Mrs. Chen, to be an Anren. . ”
Buzzing.
Hearing this, there was a buzz in the courtyard. The imperial edict was actually for Chen? Does the emperor know Chen? The second child of the Zhu family, Pingan Lang, is too powerful, right? The villagers inside and outside Zhu's yard were all shocked.
Uncle Zhu Shouren, who was kneeling in the corner, was so surprised that his jaw dropped. It was so unbelievable that Zheer actually asked for the title of Madam of Imperial Order for Chen? !
"Accept the imperial edict, Mrs. Zhu and Chen," the Master Fu Zun said to Mrs. Chen after reading out the imperial edict.
"What is An Ren?" Mrs. Chen took over the imperial edict and asked with a blank look on her face.
"Anren is a kind of imperial title. Your Majesty's reward is for you to be the top scholar in high school." Master Fu Zun explained, and then seeing that Chen still looked confused, he smiled slightly, "Simply put Said, this is what everyone often calls Mrs. Gaoming, Anren is the sixth grade."
"Mrs. Gaoming. Sixth grade." When Mrs. Chen heard this, her eyebrows almost flew up, and she could hardly hold back the excitement in her heart. Before Xie'er left, he said that he wanted to earn a life for himself, and he pretended to be a Xie'er to coax me. I didn't expect that Mrs. Xie'er would actually earn her life back by Xie'er.
What are you so proud of? Looking at the beaming Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Zhu and the eldest aunt, their sore teeth almost fell out.
My son is awesome! You can earn your life if you tell me! Some people regret it.
Ms. Chen raised her head and glanced at Mr. Zhu, Mrs. Zhu and her aunt and uncle. She was so proud that she almost went to heaven.
"Carpenter, make me a better watch frame. It needs to be carved." Mrs. Chen waved the imperial edict in her hand and stopped Li Dahei, a carpenter in the village, again.
"Congratulations on your peaceful life, congratulations on your peaceful life." The county magistrate came over and congratulated Chen with his arms folded.
"Master Qingtian" Although Mrs. Chen is now proud of her success, when she saw the county magistrate, she still subconsciously knelt down and worshiped him due to the hierarchical mentality.
“Don’t dare, don’t dare, An Ren must not offend Xiaguan. An Ren is the sixth rank, and the lower official is only the seventh rank. Only the lower official has seen An Ren, how can An Ren bow to him? Official." The county magistrate quickly gave Chen a hand and wiped the unnecessary sweat from his forehead.
This behavior of the county magistrate made Chen even more excited.
The county magistrate then introduced Mr. Fu Zun to Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhu who read out the imperial edict. Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Chen worshiped each other. Mr. Fu Zun praised Zhu Ping'an so much that he asked Mr. Chen to continue. It's flamboyant.
The government officials and county officials had many affairs and could not stay for long, so they left quickly. However, a dozen of the messengers who brought the good news still stayed.
Farmer’s wax wine and delicacies and game were soon served on the dining table in plates by the chief of the neighboring village. Dozens of tables were set up outside Zhu Ping’an’s house, and there were also servants announcing the good news. All the villagers watching the excitement sat at the table and started eating and drinking lively.
"This Anren is a sixth-grade man, a real deal. When you saw the county magistrate, he saluted me."
"From now on, I will do nothing for you every day. If you don't work, you will get a salary of ten shi every month."
Ms. Chen obviously said it in a suppressed voice, but Father Zhu could hear clearly even though he was two tables away and faced Chen Ming. He could even imagine Mrs. Chen’s elated look now, so Father Zhu There was also a smile on the slightly dark face.
"I am also in the sixth grade, and Xie'er is no longer alone and weak."
When everyone had finished eating and drinking, and dispersed one after another, Mrs. Chen said something meaningful to her uncle Zhu Shouren, who was the last to leave. Clearly, this is what Zhu Shouren said before the good news came. Uncle Zhu Shouren.
