marquis of jingan

Chapter 555
Shen Yi knelt on the ground, quietly listening to the two eunuchs finish reading the imperial decree. After the imperial decree was finished, after a while, he got up silently, and smiled at Lu Ruoxi who was beside him: "Ma'am, bring some tea for the two father-in-laws." money."

Mrs. Shen was born in an official family, so she naturally knew some rules in the officialdom, and also understood the official system of the court. Knowing that her husband's promotion this time was not small, she immediately smiled and nodded, and then let Lian Er go to the house to withdraw money.

Shen Yi stood up, walked in front of the two eunuchs, and took the imperial edict with both hands.

The two eunuchs handed over the imperial decree, immediately showed professional flattering smiles on their faces, bowed to Shen Yi and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Shen, for his promotion."

Shen Yi shook his head: "The two father-in-laws are joking, but they can't afford the word "mother-in-law."

The other eunuch also had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It's well deserved. The Bachelor of Attendance and the Bachelor of Attendance of the Imperial Academy are all close ministers of the emperor. His Majesty welcomes you at any time. At this time, don't say it's Mr. Shen, just call him Prime Minister Shen is also worthy of praise."

Shen Yi smiled, but didn't answer.

He was born in the palace, and flattering is a profession, so it seems a bit roundabout to argue.

"Thank you two father-in-laws, the two father-in-laws will go to the house and have a sip of tea before leaving?"

The two father-in-laws seemed to be in their 20s, but being able to announce the decree for the emperor showed that the status of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not too low. After the two eunuchs looked at each other, they shook their heads slightly, then bowed their hands to Shen Yi, and said with a smile : "No, no, no, I have to go back to the palace to handle errands, and I dare not disturb Mr. Shen."

While speaking, Lian'er had already brought over two ingots of gold, estimated to be four or five taels, Shen Yi took the silver and handed it to the two eunuchs, and said softly: "The family is not rich, the two father-in-laws take it to drink Tea. Don’t be too little.”

The two eunuchs smiled and took it in their hands, and one of them was able to talk, and smiled at Shen Yi: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Shen, if this is money from others, we brothers may not accept it, but Mr. Shen, if you give me the money, Our brother will give you face no matter what."

The two eunuchs bowed to Shen Yi, smiling all over their faces: "In the future, Mr. Shen will pay homage to his prime minister, and take care of our brothers."

Shen Yi stretched out his hand to help, and said he dared not, then the two eunuchs got up, said goodbye to Shen Yi and left.

After the two eunuchs left, the members of the Shen family surrounded him. Lu Ruoxi raised her head to look at Shen Yi's face, and said with a soft smile, "Why does my husband go out for a few months, and it's getting darker again. If it's a little darker, I won't Like a reader."

Master Shen smiled and said: "It's inevitable to run around outside. If you don't get a little black, you won't be able to make this contribution."

At this moment, Shen Heng is already about the same height as Shen Yi. He looked at the imperial decree in Shen Yi's hand, his face was full of envy: "Brother, those two palace servants just now called you Prime Minister Shen, it's really majestic."

"It's just flattery."

Shen Yi glanced at Shen Heng, and said softly: "People in the palace are best at speaking flattery, and such words are unacceptable. It is just an opportunity to attend a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy, and not everyone can enter the palace." Zhongshu worships the prime minister."

"Besides..."

Master Shen smiled indifferently: "Besides, being a brother doesn't really do what you want, and you don't go to the palace every day to see the emperor, and you don't even pay homage to your prime minister."

He grew up with Shen Heng, and now seeing Shen Heng like this, he couldn't help but teach: "You will be in the autumn this year, and you will become a Jinshi and become an official in the future. Remember, these flattery words are easy to listen to." Just listen, no matter whether others take it seriously, you will definitely not take it seriously."

Seeing that Shen Yi had become serious, Shen Heng immediately took two steps back, and withdrew his smile: "My brother has written down what you said."

"All right."

Shen Zhang on the side coughed, and said with a smile: "If you come back, you will teach your brother a lesson. Knowing that Yi'er is coming back today, Qingque will be rescued early in the morning and prepare food for you. Go in and eat."

Shen Yi lowered his head and answered yes, then looked around, and asked Lu Ruoxi with a smile: "Madam, where is our son?"

Lu Ruoxi rolled his eyes at him, then snorted softly, "You still remember that you still have a son."

Speaking of this, she whispered: "Not long after I fell asleep, I was very noisy, but I dare not disturb him. I will take you to see him after we finish our meal."

Shen Yi smiled: "It's better to take a look first, and it's not too late to eat after reading it."

Lu Ruoxi nodded in response, and was about to speak, when Shen Zhang, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't bear it any longer, and asked: "Son, what kind of official is the official you were appointed by the imperial decree just now? It’s also from the Imperial Academy of the Ministry of War, why didn’t you understand my father?”

Shen Yi smiled dumbly.

"Father, the Fengyi doctor is a fifth-rank Wenxun, that is, a loose official. It is considered a rank, and it is not a real job."

"As for the doctor of the leading army department..."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes, and said softly: "Most likely he is also a remote leader. My son has not finished his errands in the southeast, so it is impossible for him to return to Beijing to serve as a doctor, just to make a name for himself."

"A bachelor's student in the Imperial Academy was able to accompany Shengjia often, because his son was going to leave Beijing, and this errand was probably just a prestige. The reason why I have this official position in the Imperial Academy is probably because I am a good scholar in the Imperial Academy. the status of a gentleman."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi smiled at Shen Zhang: "But this identity is very noble, although it is from the fifth rank, but the status is very high, to be able to give such an identity..."

Shen Yi said softly: "When my son's errands in the southeast are finished in the future, when he returns to Beijing to work or is sent abroad, the starting point will be higher."

"Besides, getting a qualification from the Imperial Academy will benefit a lot in the future."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "There are a lot of twists and turns, and some sons haven't fully understood it yet."

Having said that, Shen Heng on the side smiled and said: "Father, I heard people say that the bachelors and scholars of the Imperial Academy are all the ministers of the imperial court. Didn't you hear that the two palace servants just now called your elder brother as a gentleman?" Is it?"

Shen Yi glared at him and scolded with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense."

"Go inside and eat."

In fact, Shen Zhang didn't really understand a lot of what Shen Yi said, but when he heard his youngest son mention the word "Chu Xiang", this middle-aged man from a poor family in Jiangdu actually stayed where he was. There was a huge joy rushing straight to his forehead, which made him stunned.

After a few breaths, the fourth son of the Shen family, who had worked so hard to raise the two brothers, had tears in his eyes.

Knowing that he couldn't lose his composure in front of the junior, he turned his back and wiped away his tears, then tried to keep his tone calm.

"You...you eat first, for the father...for the father, go back to the house for a rest."

After all, Fourth Master Shen strode into Shen's house and walked towards his own room.

At this moment, Shen Zhang only felt that walking was a little swaying.

On the way back to his house, the fourth master was still muttering.

"Phase storage...Phase storage..."

After mumbling all the way back to his own room, he walked to a shrine and put three sticks of incense on the shrine, and at the same time, tears were streaming down his face.

"lady…"

Shen Zhang inserted Gao Xiang in his hand, and shed tears of joy: "Our son is already the prime minister of the imperial court!"

He happily said: "Next month, I will go back to the ancestral house in Jiangdu to pay homage to the ancestors..."

"Our Shen family... is going to become a public servant!"

…………

After Master Shen went back to his room alone, Shen Yi originally wanted to call, but was stopped by Shen Heng, so he had no choice but to give up.

After returning to the Hou Zhai to look at his sleeping son, Shen Yi had dinner in the Shen's dining room, and then changed into his sixth-rank official uniform with the help of Lu Ruoxi.

After changing into his official uniform, Shen Yi stood up and asked his wife to comb his hair.

While combing his hair, Lu Ruoxi asked softly: "I just came home and didn't take a rest, so I'm going to the palace?"

Shen Yi sighed helplessly: "I returned to the capital by the emperor's order, and I received the emperor's favor just after I came back. In addition, it is still early, so I have to go to the palace no matter what."

"Otherwise, the palace will be unhappy."

Lu Ruoxi responded and helped him tidy up his hair.

"Then you come back earlier."

Shen Yi stood up, put on his official hat, stretched out his hand to pinch his wife's face, and smiled.

"Don't worry, I will come back early today."
