Although it is tiring to go to Zoumagang, it is very lively.

Qin'er returned to her new home in the city from Zouma, and suddenly she was a little uncomfortable. At such a big house, there were two mothers and sisters, the youngest sister-in-law Hongying and Hongying's children. Although Mr. Fei also lives here, he either went to a nearby academies to find friends to drink, or went to county schools or even prefecture schools to write poems with professors, and the teachers went out early and came back late every day. None of the neighbors around recognized him, and he didn't even have a family chat, let alone visiting each other like before.

Before the vegetables I bought at noon were finished, Hongying didn't have to go out to the streets anymore. After the lunch, the three of them sat around the attic again, guarding the two newly asleep kids, chatting while doing needlework.

"Sister-in-law, your cotton coat is made of the size and waist of the pillar. My brother is already taller than the pillar. Besides, he is so high-ranking now, he must be fatter than before. Even if he can ask someone to take it to my brother, he may not be fit." The youngest girl reminded him at the cotton coat that Qin'er was sewing.

Qin'er looked up and smiled, "You need to remind me. When I cut it, I thought that your brother will only wear big or small."

"Break it into the big picture?"

"Yeah." Qin'er smiled and turned around and said, "Hongying, you have to make these pieces faster. No matter what, the second master is, he is a juren. Now he is the western tutel of our family, and he can't have a few decent clothes."

"I know, this matter is going to be done soon." Hongying raised the needle and flirted in her hair. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but mutter: "Madam, the young master is so young, he didn't even speak neatly and couldn't stand steadily, so he was eager to ask him for a sir. Is this a bit early? Is it wrong to spend a hundred taels of silver this year?"

Qin'er realized that she must have seen Master Fei Er's wife do nothing and have so much money to be jealous, and said quickly: "Mr. Er is not only my child's husband, but also his friend of his father, and his benefactor of our Han family! He promised to be my child's husband, which is my child's blessing."

"But……"

"Don't say that, don't say anything just now. Don't say that Master Fei is unhappy, even I am unhappy."

Hongying realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly said with a bitter face: "Madam, I...I have no other meaning. I won't say it anymore, and I won't say it anymore if I beat it to death."

The youngest girl couldn't help but smile and said, "Hongying, you are usually very smart, but why do you become confused when you think of money? Think about it, your child is going to be a book boy for my Goudan when he grows up. Since the second master is my Goudan's husband, he is also your baby's husband. Don't you want your child to read and recognize words together?"

"Think of it."

"That's it. When you see the second master in the future, you must be more polite. You can't say strange words anymore, and you can't make him angry."

"I know, I'm confused for a moment, I... I'll go cook some tea." Hongying didn't know how to defend herself, and she put down her needle and thread as if she was running away and was about to go downstairs.

At this time, Duan Jiqing's voice came from outside.

"Qin'er, youngest girl, are you at home?"

"Here, Dad, I'll go down and open the door for you."

"Hurry up, there is something to do, there is a big happy event!"

"What a happy event?"

As soon as Qin'er finished speaking, Duan Xu's voice came from outside: "Qin'er, I knew you were a blessing. There was such a big happy event. You can be considered a success!"

"What's the point?"

Qin'er didn't understand why, so she ran downstairs with her youngest girl to open the door. She suddenly realized that not only her father and mother had come, but also Mr. Fei came back, Guan Bantou, Zhuzi, and Yu Youfu came together. Even Zhang Shiheng, who had returned to Chengdu with Wu Daotai a few days ago, came. He was holding everything in his hand, and he was filled with joy.

"Shiheng greets you aunt." Zhang Shiheng is the youngest. As soon as he saw her, he handed the gift to Zhuzi and bowed respectfully.

"Sheng, why are you back?"

"His father asked him to come," Duan Jiqing crossed the threshold and said excitedly as he walked to the main hall: "Qin'er, Zhixing not only remembers you day and night, but also asks you for grace. Hurry up and change your clothes, the county magistrate will arrive soon."

"What kind of grace?"

"A decree!" Duan Xu held her arm and said enviously: "Qin'er, you will be the decree's wife soon!"

"It's not a wife of the imperial edict, but it's a pleasant edict, but for us, all the edicts are maids." Mr. Fei bowed his hand and turned around and said, "Duan Jingcheng, hurry up and set up the incense table."

"Oh, let's put it."

Duan Jiqing was very busy and quickly put the offerings of fruits and other items that everyone was carrying on the incense table. Qin'er was so excited that she burst into tears, and she felt like she was dreaming. She couldn't believe that all this was true. Duan Xu and her youngest sister were both excited and envious, and took her to the room to change her new clothes she only wore during the New Year.

Goudan, who had just fallen asleep, was also taken out. She was sleeping soundly, but suddenly she was awakened. She danced and kicked her hands and feet and cried loudly. Hongying hurried over to help coax her.

When Qin'er changed her clothes and went downstairs to the hall, the incense table had been set up. Master Fei held the teacup and smiled, "Qin'er, when the county magistrate announced the imperial edict, you have to hurry up and buy a dress of official uniforms."

Qin'er asked embarrassedly: "Second Master, don't make fun of me, can I still wear official uniforms?"

Before Mr. Fei could speak, Duan Jiqing said happily: "With an imperial decree, he will be able to wear official uniforms, and he will still be able to wear official uniforms from the fifth rank! This is the wife who is noble by her husband. When Goudan makes a fortune in the future, he will help you find grace, and that is the mother who is noble by her son. So you have a good fortune and you are blessed!"

"Dad, how could you say that to your own children?"

"Duan Jingcheng is right, Qin'er, you are a blessed person." Guan Bantu laughed.

Qin'er was happy, but she was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly talked about the topic: "Sheng, have you returned to Chengdu with your father? How do you know?"

"I knew about the provincial capital that your imperial edict had arrived first," Zhang Shiheng smiled and continued, "Actually, I came to Ba County to send my father. My father was going to Wuchang and to serve Mr. Wu Wenrong, the governor of Huguang, so I happened to catch up."

"Where is your dad?"

"I'm leaving, I walked from Chaotianmen Wharf in the morning."

"Why don't he come for a meal?"

"My dad was walking with a salt-carrying boat, so he really didn't have time to come to see him."

Duan Jiqing smiled and said, "Qin'er, Mr. Zhang has important official duties, but he really can't get away. Besides, he has informed me when he passed by Ba County time messenger. I'll go to the dock with you and Uncle Guan to send him off."

As he was talking, the sound of gongs and drums of the county magistrate traveling came from outside.

Master Fei quickly put down his teacup and led everyone out to welcome him.

The sedan chairmen fell into the sedan chair, and the county magistrate got out of the sedan chair and bowed to Mr. Fei. Then, from the eldest son, he took the imperial edict made of five-color brocade that looked similar to the imperial edict in the play, and walked into the house while greeting everyone.

Seeing that the incense table was ready, the county magistrate nodded with satisfaction, and placed the imperial edict on the incense table. After the worship, he picked up the imperial edict again. Facing the people still kneeling in front of the hall, he opened the scroll and said in a fluent official language: "Feng, heaven carries the fortune, the emperor said: Good minister Xuan is strong outside, and is hardworking and virtuous, and is in the middle of the ceremony. I favor Han Duan, the wife of Han Xiufeng, the deputy envoy of the Salt Transport Department of the Sil, finally warm and kind, and since he was quiet and dedicated, he followed the husband, praised the sil silk, and the master gave the gift, and flowed the brightness of the red tube. I am here to express my grace to you: I am pleasant. In the play! I respect you, I have an official, I am solemn and beautiful, and I think about it within, and I am willing to work together with my heart..."

It was because Qin'er didn't understand a single word, but only knew that he mentioned "Han Duan". Thinking that he would be the wife of the imperial decree in the future, and all this was brought by his father, a child who was an official in Jiangsu, he was so excited that he burst into tears. If it weren't for the reminder of Fei Erye and Duan Jiqing, he wouldn't have known thank you.

"Mrs. Duan, congratulations." The county magistrate handed over the imperial edict to her and bowed: "Mrs. Duan, you are not only in your official position but also in your salary. By the end of the year, the officials will send someone to help you deliver the rice."

"Master Xie." Qin'er talked to the county magistrate for the first time, and her heart was pounding with tension and quickly said with great blessings.

The county magistrate was shocked. Men and women were not allowed to be dependent, and they were not easy to help. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Mrs. Duan, this is not possible. You are a fifth-ranked pleasant person named by the emperor. You are only a seventh-ranked magistrate. How dare you receive this great gift?"

"Master, I..."

"Mrs. Duan, you have the highest rank here. If you don't believe it, you can ask the juren. If you are in charge of official duties, you will leave first." The man was not at home and there was nothing to say to a woman. The county magistrate simply bowed and said goodbye. He walked out of the main hall and thought about it and stopped. He turned around and reminded: "Mrs. Duan, the imperial edict must be kept, and it must not be eaten or thrown away."

Qin'er held the imperial edict tightly and said quickly: "Oh, I will take it away."

Grade is just a symbol of status and status. On the scene, the county magistrate had to bow and salute, but in fact, the county magistrate was the largest official in Ba County. Duan Jiqing dared not neglect and went out with Master Fei to see him off with Master Fei. The county magistrate did not treat him differently because he was a father with a pleasant father of the fifth-rank imperial edict, and was even too lazy to be perfunctory. Instead, he was polite to Master Fei. When he got into the sedan chair, he invited Master Fei to sit in the county government when he had time.

"See, this is the case in the officialdom," Duan Jiqing took the imperial edict and sighed: "Officials are officials, officials are officials, and the people are people. The second master was born as a juren, so the county magistrate naturally had to treat him with courtesy. Now you are a pleasant edict, and the county magistrate not only treats him with courtesy but also respectfully. What a person wants to live in a lifetime, isn't he just seeking to be decent?"

Qin'er was stunned and quickly wiped away her tears and comforted her: "Dad, it's not easy to be decent. Goudan's father can help me ask for grace, and he can also help you ask for grace. Writing him a letter and asking him to ask for grace for you."

"What are you kidding? Zhixing can help you ask for help, and in the future, he can also help his father and mother ask for help, but it is not easy for me to ask for help. You must know that in the world, there is only the reason why the wife is noble by husband, the father is noble by son, and the mother is noble by son, and there is no saying that the father-in-law is noble by son-in-law."

"It's not completely none," Mr. Fei couldn't help laughing, "If you can become a father-in-law, you can still enjoy wealth and glory."
