Qiu Wuhen was surprised and happy, while Su Jinsong hurriedly asked Lily and Hanxiang to come in to change clothes for herself and her husband.

Xuehua added: "Young Master, Eunuch Cao said that he would like to invite the young master and his wife to receive the imperial edict together."

Qiu Wuhen was overjoyed and said to Su Jinsong: "We are asked to accept the order together. Is there any reward for you? Come on, put on new clothes."

Su Jinsong had never seen this before. In the past, it was a home for merchants. Let alone imperial edicts, it was difficult for officials to see each other, let alone receive canonization. He was so confused that he didn't know what to do?

Qiu Wuhen said: "Don't worry, isn't it just for the canonization? The emperor is not coming, just a eunuch, so just change into clean clothes quickly."

Only then did Su Jinsong calm down, and secretly admired her husband for being a man who had seen a lot of things in the world. He was so calm when receiving an imperial edict for the first time. But she didn't know that Qiu Wuhen had seen a lot of movies and TV dramas in modern society. This scene seemed to

I feel a little numb. Although this is my own experience this time, I am already mentally prepared to see if I have experienced such a scene in a movie or TV series.

This is a plot often seen in costume dramas. He never thought that one day he would experience it himself. However, what he thought was a bit strange. He was just a sixth-grade official, and he was a sesame mung bean in the capital.

Official, it's your turn to receive the imperial edict. But then again, the imperial edict does not depend on whether the official is big or small, but whether the emperor wants to use it? Some minor officials, such as the supervisory censor,

The official was also young enough, and he often received tasks assigned by the emperor himself.

Liniang and Xuehua had already gone to the front yard to place the incense table, waiting for their master to come and receive the order.

The old ladies and aunts of the Su family also heard about it, and they were surprised, happy, and frightened. They gathered around and talked about it. Because the people from the palace would not arrive until half an hour later, they were notified in advance.

Make preparations, and you can also talk to the side while preparing.

Mother Su's heart was trembling with excitement: "Thank God, this day has finally come. Being canonized by the emperor is a beginning. The day when our Su family will be proud of our ancestors is just around the corner."

The second aunt nodded, but said angrily: "But why didn't the emperor consecrate the wife and the old lady, but only the husband and the wife?"

Third Yiniang also said: "Yes, this is really wrong. Does it stand to reason that only a mother has a son?"

Mrs. Su naturally knew what these two aunts were doing. At such an age, she didn’t know how everything was going well for her family. Moreover, she knew very well how Qiu Wuhen and Su Jinsong were, so how could they let them give up in just one or two words?

Transferred.

As soon as she said this, Qiu Wuhen came over. Qiu Wuhen is the son-in-law of the Su family, and now it is because of Qiu Wuhen that he is canonized by the Su family, not because of the merits of the Su family itself to get the emperor's title.

Therefore, Su Jinsong can be canonized, but Su Jinsong's mother and her grandmother cannot be canonized. Because if you want to canonize your mother and grandmother, you are also canonizing Qiu Wuhen's own mother and grandmother. You cannot canonize your wife's family. The court does not care about you.

Whether you are a new son-in-law or not, these three obediences, four virtues, three cardinal principles and five constant principles, and it is natural for a husband to guide his wife.

Therefore, no matter how great Qiu Wuhen's official achievements are, only Qiu Wuhen and his own parents can be canonized, and it is impossible to canonize his wife. Being able to canonize his wife is an important factor in the family relationship.

The outer limits that can be affected.

After understanding this truth, everyone was speechless and seemed a little sad. However, the old lady also thought about it. In fact, she had known this result for a long time. It was also the pride of the Su family to have a son-in-law. Although the court did not approve it, Su

The family himself recognized that he was the son-in-law, and his glory was the glory of the Su family. So the old lady and the madam quickly returned to normal, and two slaves, Rose and Peony, appeared and quickly dressed up the lady, preparing to kneel down to welcome her.

Imperial decree.

They were quickly prepared, and the two of them arrived in the front yard. The incense table in the lobby was ready. Qiu Wuhen took his wife to the door to wait for the imperial edict.

After waiting for a moment, there was the sound of silk and bamboo, and there were government officials and eunuchs from the palace. The guards were alert and asked people on the street to leave. Then a large sedan came carrying the eunuchs who were announcing the order.

In front of the Su family's house, Qiu Wuhen had ordered people to open the gates and wait at the front steps.

When the father-in-law came down the steps, Qiu Wuhen stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute: "Qiu Wuhen, a humble official, pays homage to your father-in-law. Your father-in-law has had a hard journey."

This father-in-law has thin eyes, thin lips, and a fleshless face. He is about fifty years old. At first glance, he looks like a shrewd man. His surname is Cao.

Eunuch Cao reached out with a smile on his face, patted Qiu Wuhen's shoulder gently and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Qiu, your hard work has been great for this mission to Nanyang! The emperor is very happy and has issued an imperial edict to confer the title. Let's go in and announce the edict.

"

They walked all the way into the house and came to the incense table in the main hall. Eunuch Cao stood in the middle and took out the scroll of Mu Sunflower. Qiu Wuhen imitated the scenes in the film and television drama, lifted his robe and knelt down. Su Jinsong saw her husband kneeling down and hurriedly followed him.

He was kneeling next to him, even trembling. The old lady of the Su family and the others were hiding behind the screen to peek, surprised, happy, and uneasy, for fear that something would happen that would make people laugh, or even blame the emperor.

Fortunately, he was very calm and seemed to know the path completely. Eunuch Cao nodded with satisfaction, unfolded the scroll and read aloud, but it was an imperial edict of canonization, canonizing Qiu Wuhen as the sixth-rank Cheng Shilang.

At the same time, Qiu Wuhen's wife Su Jinsong was conferred the title of Ruren, which was the posthumous title given to the wives of sixth-rank officials in the Ming Dynasty. After Eunuch Cao finished reading the imperial edict, he handed the imperial edict to Qiu Wuhen with a smile, and Qiu Wuhen took it.

Jinsong was about to get up when unexpectedly Eunuch Cao said: "Master Qiu, you can get up now, but your wife still has to receive a decree, which was issued by the Queen Mother. Last time it was given to the Su family, my wife also received it."

Alright."

Su's grandmother Su Mu and others behind the screen heard that the Queen Mother actually directly rewarded Su Jia with something. They were so surprised that their hearts almost stopped beating.

But I don’t know what the Empress Dowager rewarded me?

Su Jinsong's heart was beating wildly, and he quickly knelt on the ground to greet him.

Qiu Wuhen stood on one side and looked at Eunuch Cao. Only then did Eunuch Cao take out a golden scroll.

Read aloud.

This imperial edict surprised and surprised the Su family. It turned out that this imperial edict was actually a reward. It contained a large section of awkward prose, and its general content was to praise Qiu Wuhen's family for their hard work in getting rich, growing vegetables, and solving the problems in the capital.

The empress dowager and empress were very happy about the difficulty of eating vegetables in winter, so they gave the Su family a hoe and some vegetable seeds.

This reward was extremely special. When Eunuch Cao took out the hoe from a brocade box, he held it in both hands and handed it to Su Jinsong. Su Jinsong was so excited that his body was trembling, and he took the hoe made of golden nanmu with trembling hands.

There is a royal hoe with a hoe handle. There is a colorful ribbon on the hoe. There are a few words engraved on the hoe, which are to reward the Su family with a royal hoe for hard work and getting rich. What does this mean? After Qiu Wuhen read it, he couldn't help laughing. The Queen Mother actually got off.

A decree praising the Su family for their hard work and getting rich. That means the official has officially recognized Qiu Wuhen as the title of rookie official. Qiu Wuhen is really dumbfounded.

Eunuch Cao also handed over the imperial edict to Su Jinsong and said: "Madam, please get up. The Empress Dowager is very grateful to Madam for her hard work to make her rich. She led her family to grow vegetables, raise pigs, chickens and ducks in their own yard. Especially the pigs were raised very well.

The Queen Mother has also tasted this pork, and it has no smell at all, and is more delicious than beef and mutton. The Queen Mother does not like to eat mutton, it is too smelly, and pork does not have that smell, and it is also very fragrant."

"But it's only limited to the pork you raise. The old lady said that your family is so ingenious that you can grow vegetables in winter and raise such delicious pork. So the Queen Mother is very happy and gave you this hoe as a special reward.

Family, I ask you to continue your efforts in the future and set an example for the civil and military officials of the imperial court. Let everyone think about how to get rich through hard work and not think about crooked ways, but just work hard."

When Qiu Wuhen heard this, he understood the empress dowager's good intentions. It turned out that she was promoting herself as a model of love for labor, educating all ministers, and letting everyone work hard to get rich, rather than coming from outside the evil ways.

interesting.

Qiu Wuhen had previously told Su Jinsong to prepare ten taels of silver as a thank you gift. If he came to convey the message, he would wear small shoes if he didn't give him any benefits. Moreover, the eunuch's favorite thing was money. Although he had only ten taels of silver at the moment, he would not be able to do anything to Su Jinsong.

I can feel sorry for him for a long time, but this is the first time I have been canonized by the emperor. I am very happy, and this small amount of money is enough.

So he held it in both hands and handed it to Eunuch Cao, and said with a smile: "With a little thought, I will give it to my father-in-law to reward the people below, everyone has worked hard!"

Qiu Wuhen was slightly startled, he didn't expect the lady to be so good at talking.

Sure enough, Eunuch Cao was very happy, took the money and said, "Master Qiu and Madam are really generous. It's rare to receive ten taels of silver as a reward for dumplings. It seems that your family is really good at growing vegetables, raising chickens, ducks and pigs."

I have made a lot of money, and I will come here more often tomorrow to enjoy the autumn breeze."

Qiu Wuhen and his wife both laughed together. Only then did they realize that it was too much, but it is better to give more than less. Qiu Wuhen handed over his hands and said, "I don't want it. I hope my father-in-law can't come! When will my father-in-law come?"

I will definitely sweep the couch to greet you if you are in a humble position."

"Then we have made an agreement. From now on, I will deliver orders and bring messages to you. I will come to you often! Mr. Qiu has been promoted. From now on, the emperor's imperial decree to reward Mr. Qiu's family will probably have to destroy our family.

My legs are all thin, hahaha!”

Qiu Wuhen also laughed a few times, and then respectfully sent Eunuch Cao and his entourage away.

After Eunuch Cao and the others left, the Su family burst into cheers. The old ladies came over and hugged Su Jinsong and jumped up and down. After all, this was the first official person in the Su family. Although it was thanks to the blessing of her husband, that

It is also the glory of the Su family. The ancestors of the Su family were all in business. How could they have thought that one day they would be canonized by the imperial court? Now their daughter Su Jinsong has been canonized by the emperor and has become a sixth-grade child. This is enough to make the Su family crazy.
