HCB Chapter 36 Harvest
Chapter 36 Harvest
"Guarjia Emin will be appointed as the Minister of Rites today and promoted to the rank of Duke of the third rank.
Guwalja Jinbao took over as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
The former Minister of Rites..."
After the transfer arrangements were announced, the princes and Zhang Tingyu present had no objections, and the imperial edict was quickly drafted.
"Send someone to deliver it."
Yinzhen instructed Su Peisheng.
The handling of matters concerning the previous dynasty had come to an end, and Prince Heng, who was in charge of the clan members, had something to say.
He expressed his own opinion and hoped that Yinzhen would compensate his clan member's daughter, Gioro, for this matter and give an explanation to his family as well.
Yinzhen thought Prince Heng's words made sense, and he didn't want to offend his fifth brother. After considering some of his own considerations, he agreed.
After a little thought, he made arrangements.
"The mother of Concubine Yi, Lady Gioro, has a virtuous character, is prudent and prudent, respectful to her elders, gentle and kind to her children, and has a good way of educating her children. I am very pleased with her.
Make her the daughter of Prince Chun, give her the title of Duoluo Gege, grant her the title of Shushen, and enjoy the salary of Heshuo Gege.
Upon hearing Yinzhen's arrangement, Prince Heng and Prince Yi looked at each other and nodded.
"So, very good."
This is the explanation for the clan members.
The emperor issued an imperial decree to clear the name of the girl from the clan family.
After all, if the Queen Mother's remarks are allowed to continue to ferment, who would dare to marry the "daughters of clansmen" with poor moral character in the future, and who would dare to blindly marry their daughters into the family.
Isn't this going to mean the end of these red belts?
The promotion of his status was just right. Although Prince Chun was a nobleman and the seventh son of Emperor Shunzhi, he died at the age of 20, which was a great pity.
In principle, the daughter of a prince is called Heshuo Gege, and it is also very appropriate for an adopted daughter to be called Duoluo Gege.
The imperial edict was drafted again and handed over to Su Peisheng for processing.
For Jueluo himself, who already had a first-rank imperial title, being a Doroggege was at most icing on the cake.
For Wen Yuan, the biggest difference is that the first part of her identity now has to be prefixed with "daughter of the princess of Prince Chun's mansion", and then "daughter of a third-class duke and a first-rank minister".
Oh, maybe there will be another label like 'Yinzhen's cousin'.
laugh.
For Wen Yuan, this honor might be proof of her wealthy family background when she was crowned empress in the future, or it might be the reason for the multiple characters in her posthumous title.
Not too important, but no one would have too much.
The Guarjia family itself has a poor financial situation, with only one generation of descendants, and the legitimate son is too young, which is her weakness.
But now... I am the descendant of a noble and famous family, suddenly.
Thanks to this imperial edict, the wives of the Gioro clan could openly join the ranks of the real "royal family" in social activities, rather than just being relatives of the clan.
Change the red belt to a yellow belt.
After scoring twice in a row and receiving the imperial edict, E Min's face almost broke with smile.
But he still didn't forget the important things. He returned to the bedroom and looked at Jueluo lying on the bed with ointment on her face. He asked with a distressed look on his face,
"Does it still hurt?"
"pain."
Jueluo's answer was powerful and firm, with honesty as the main point.
"But luckily Yuanyuan left some medicine for me. Oh, the Queen Mother, that plague woman, thank goodness I was prepared, not only did I put pads on my knees, but I also wore thick clothes.
Otherwise, they would pour water on me in the middle of winter and make me kneel down as punishment, haha."
As they chatted, Jueluo rolled his eyes.
"You've suffered, you've suffered." E Min patted Jueluo's hand, his eyes full of heartache.
However, the couple's warmth faded quickly.
If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door. The calculating and scheming Jueluo soon sat up and leaned on the pillow. She said to Emin in a lively and mischievous tone,
"But how can I say it? It's a huge profit!"
“Really.
Originally, according to the emperor's intention, I might have to endure for a few more years, or at least come up with a few more ideas, before I could become a minister. Promotion to a higher rank would depend on luck.
Now... hehe."
As E Min talked about this, his already shifty look became even more vivid.
"Not only did you become the adopted daughter of Prince Chun, but you were also given the title of Duoluo Gege! How formal!
It's not enough to just be listed, you will also be given the title and salary!
From now on, you will also be a yellow belt!
Our family is closely related to the royal family."
Emin and Jueluo were so happy that they were talking to each other.
“Yes, you are finally a third-class duke.
"Oh my god! This is a male!"
“But there’s no rush for the next thing.
We are waiting for Yuanyuan to take care of us and to keep Cheng Engong steady. After that, we will rely on our good grandson!"
"Yes, the most important thing is to educate that brat Changcai."
"We have to be steady, as Yuanyuan said, do things in a high-profile manner, show off wealth in a low-profile manner, hide behind the scenes, and conceal our achievements and fame.
We only want practical results, not empty stuff.
Madam, please help me keep a close eye on the farm these days. There can't be any mistakes. Yuanyuan's position as the imperial concubine is waiting for the harvest there!"
"Don't worry, I have these eyes."
As he spoke, Jueluo pointed with two fingers, "It looks like a copper bell!"
"Hahahahaha."
"But the diplomacy of building relationships and paying courtesies is left to you.
The merchant ship recently got a large piece of amethyst. This foreign product is still a rare item here. You can make some according to the pattern that Yuanyuan gave us and give them out as gifts. They are beautiful and not expensive. "
"Isn't it expensive? I see it's shiny and almost as expensive as those diamonds."
From the bottom of her heart, Jueluo was reluctant to give away so many jewels.
Although she was generous with her money when giving gifts, her heart... felt like she was sending Yuanyuan off to get married, it was so painful!
Seeing Jueluo's distressed look, Emin couldn't help but shook his head.
"Oh, it's much worse, you know!
If you like this crystal, ask Yuanyuan someday. If there is no special arrangement, she can give you a mountain of crystal mines."
"Shameless, why did you urge me to ask my daughter for something?
Why don't you tell me and buy me another one!"
"Okay, okay, work hard, work hard, I'll definitely do it next time."
It has to be Wen Yuan. This set of little words is really useful.
After hearing the familiar perfunctory response, Jueluo rolled her eyes again.
In recent years, E Min's backyard has been quiet, and she couldn't take away all the jewelry she had collected. It was simply because of her hoarding habit, so she didn't pinch E Min's mustache and ask him to give an explanation.
"But you have to pick out some nice-looking but inexpensive foreign goods, as you will have more relatives and people of high status in the future."
"What do you think? Speaking of good stuff, I got a few rough diamonds. Without the tricky technology of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they might have been cut badly.
When you recover from your illness, take it to the palace to give to Yuanyuan, and then wait for Yuanyuan to come back as a reward, and then you can take it out in a dignified manner.
The colors are all your favorite, hehe~~"
"You are really shameless."
It was different from what the outside world and even the emperor imagined, that he had almost died, was no longer a human being, was humiliated and full of shame and anger.
Today is another harmonious and upward-looking day for the old couple in the Guwaljia family.
*
For Yu Wenyuan, everything that happened today was naturally a happy event.
She knew the Gioro family.
She would have exchanged a humiliating beating for the yellowing of her belt, the status of Shushen Duoluo Gege, and the adopted daughter of the prince. If the situation had not allowed, Jueluo would have probably taken her suona and played it in the street, letting the neighbors and everyone in the city hear the happiness in her heart.
Therefore, it is not without reason that Wen Yuan's plan to get rich, get promoted, and become extremely wealthy receives full support from his family.
These parents also have 'wonderful roots and positive red'.
With no worries in her mind, Wen Yuan focused on her evening strategy.
When Yinzhen came to have dinner that evening, she put on her tearful makeup and practiced tea art.
Thank you, Your Majesty. It is all my fault. I have gotten myself into so much trouble and caused you to worry.
I wonder if my mother is okay? Can I send a maid to see her tomorrow?
Your Majesty, you are so kind. With you around, I am no longer afraid.
Your Majesty, if you touch me, I will feel nervous.
As for arrogance and temper, Wen Yuan did not show any of them.
After all, in the eyes of Yinzhen, this awkward man, he can have as much opinion as he wants about the empress dowager, but for outsiders... it depends on their own opinions.
When you have a preference, nothing can go wrong.
Remember one thing: when you work under the guidance of the Fourth Uncle, you will not lose your composure or worry about gains and losses.
The grand night ended with the Queen Mother really angry.
The Queen Mother no longer has the greatest immunity from death, 'filial piety'. In the eyes of the wolves, she is now just a porcupine that has entered its twilight years.
There is some aggression, but not much.
A week later, on the evening when Concubine Duan was finally released from confinement, she finally found out the news that the Queen had released.
Concubine Duan looked at the words on the note and fell into silence for a long time.
Afterwards, after the candle flame burned out silently in the Buddhist temple, he knelt in front of the Buddha, muttering something silently, as if he was chanting scriptures.
However, as she chanted and flipped through the Buddhist scriptures, the storm in her eyes gradually took shape, with the potential for a thunderstorm.
Now that Concubine Wan was released from confinement, Yinzhen naturally went to comfort her.
Yinzhen always thought that Wanwan was his confidant and his comfort to Chunyuan, but for some reason, especially after he had Wenyuan, he felt that Wanwan was a boring piece of chicken ribs that was tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
Speaking of romance, Wen Yuan, as a Manchu, has far more knowledge than Wan Wan. She is not obsessed with love and can have a few conversations with Yin Zhen regardless of ancient or modern times.
Although his understanding was a little superficial, Yinzhen felt very comfortable every time she talked about poetry and read scriptures with her, and they could even chat for an hour.
She is a very good listener to chat.
Speaking of arrogance, the arrogance of Wanwan, Concubine Hui and even Concubine Hua back then was all external, while Wen Yuan's was internal.
Wen Yuan never shows her arrogance to others, but no one who has met her, talked with her or interacted with her would deny her inherent arrogance, and some even vaguely felt that she was far superior to everyone else.
What was wrong? Why? Yinzhen was a little confused.
This desire to explore made him wander among these four people for a long time.
There is the daily lunch at Chuxiu Palace and the occasional beauty with red sleeves, and the rest of the night is dominated by the favor of Concubine Wan, the rekindling of Concubine Hua, and the attendance of Concubine Hui.
As for Lady An, she is still lukewarm and not much, but she can be used as a seasoning and she is always indispensable.
But this made her very sad.
