Chapter 948: Promotion!

Yuan Wenshao was lounging on the Taishi's chair. In order to create a "filial" persona, he was quite tiring every day.

That means he goes to bed later than a dog, and then wakes up earlier than a chicken. He has to get up before dawn. Maybe the word "filial piety" is a bit wet, but the dark circles on his face are real.

Just as he was about to squint for a while, Manager Hu ran in in a hurry.

"Second Young Master, an angel is coming to our mansion. You should change your clothes quickly. You have to go to the main courtyard immediately to greet him!"

"Angel?" Yuan Wenshao was stunned for a moment, but before he could think about it, he quickly got up and followed Manager Hu to the main courtyard.

The advantage of regular exercise during this period of time has just become apparent. Manager Hu next to me is wheezing from exhaustion, but our Second Master Yuan is fine at all, his face is neither red nor angry!

He was even in the mood to chat: "Old Hu, what's going on? Why did the officials issue an imperial edict to our government?"

"I...I'm not sure. Just now, a chamberlain suddenly came over from the palace and told us to prepare the incense table. He didn't say anything specific~"

After all, Guanshi Hu was no better than young people. He was indeed a little bad at running, and he was already out of breath from exhaustion.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, who arranged all this? Why did the second master's yard be arranged so far away?

"A sneeze~" At the same time in Cheng Anju's main bedroom, Mrs. Yuan sneezed on the bed.

Then he turned around and smiled bitterly: "Mother Qi, am I really infected with the cold?"

"Probably not, madam, besides, you have to take medicine every day!"

"The edict says: Now there is Yuan Wenshao, the son of Uncle Zhongqin, a filial brother, loyal and trustworthy..."

After announcing the decree, the father-in-law was very satisfied with the generous thank you gift, and he said with a smile in his unique drake voice: "Master Yuan, please accept the decree quickly!"

"After the officials heard about your filial piety, they were very optimistic about you. They specially praised you for this, and also granted you a holiday so that you can stay at home to take care of your illness. When your daughter is cured, you can go back to the Yamen as an errand. !”

"Thank you for your majesty's consideration. I will do my best to repay your kindness!" Yuan Wenshao first bowed in the direction of the palace.

Then he stood up and took the imperial edict, then said with a smile: "Father, it's very cold today, the house has prepared some wine, let's have a drink to warm up!"

"No, our family has important matters. I won't bother Mr. Yuan again in the future~"

As he spoke, the father-in-law turned around and got into the carriage. Of course, he also took the package with the silver with him. Otherwise, who would be willing to run out in this cold weather for these "little cuties".

After they walked away, Manager Hu felt inexplicably sad when he looked at the imperial edict in Yuan Wenshao's hand. Their family had been servants in the mansion for generations. In the early years, during the old uncle's period, the mansion always received rewards from officials.

Since he was deprived of his title in that unexpected incident, even though he later restored his title, it has been almost 20 years, and this is still the first time he has received an imperial edict.

"Oh, sir, how many years have passed, and there is an imperial decree coming to the government again. My uncle would not be very happy if he knew about it. Do you want to arrange for someone to rush to Yangzhou to report it?"

"Well, I think it's okay~" Yuan Wenshao nodded directly in agreement.

After that, he returned to his own courtyard. Of course, the imperial decree asked Guanshi Hu to take it away, saying that it would be enshrined in the ancestral hall for the ancestors to take a look.

There was something Rong Bao didn't understand, but he kept it to himself.

It wasn't until he returned to the courtyard that he asked: "Sir, why don't I understand this? What is the official position of Colonel Yihui mentioned in this decree? Did the officials transfer you to the army?"

"What~" Yuan Wenshao rolled his eyes at him.

But he still explained angrily: "In this dynasty, there are casual officials and full-time officials. I, the Eighth-Rank Successor of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division, am the Xuanjie Colonel in the rank of generals!"

"The official family only promoted me as a casual official. From now on, the salary will be received from the seventh-grade Yi command captain. Of course, if there is a real job vacancy, the Ministry of Personnel will also give priority to it~"

"And there is another advantage, that is, the official uniform I am wearing can be worn in green from now on. The imperial court stipulates that green robes should be worn if the seventh rank or above!" "Oh, that's it~" Rongbao looked quite regretful.

Because if the young master goes to join the army, he will naturally have to follow him as the number one follower, so that he will have the opportunity to make military achievements and change the class of the whole family.

Don’t you see, your former neighbor, Uncle Zhao, was originally the old uncle’s servant. Later, he fought with the party members in the northwest battlefield, and finally succeeded in becoming an official. I heard that he is now a county captain.

……

While Mrs. Yuan was taking medicine every day, the Yuan family finally arrived in Yangzhou and were about to dock at the dock. At this time, Uncle Yuan's face in the room was filled with joy.

The smile never stopped, and I didn’t even know how much of the reward I had given out, because yesterday a message was sent home.

To be able to receive the imperial edict from the official family again, even if it is just to be promoted to the first level of casual official, this is a big step forward.

Your nobles are most afraid of not having the emperor's trust. Now that they have received the imperial edict, it proves that their second son is a member of the official family. From now on, his future is limitless. Is this how the Yuan family will prosper again?

Although he didn't drink when he thought about this, Uncle Yuan felt that he was a little drunk just thinking about it...

At this time, the Sheng family was also busy, and the servants were all happy, because today was the day when the Earl of Bianjing came to offer employment.

Although Sheng Hong, a seventh-grade general judge, was nothing in Bianjing City, in this one-third-acre land in Yangzhou, he was the proper second-in-command and could be regarded as a local snake.

Since the founding of the country by the great ancestor of this dynasty, in order to better manage local officials and strengthen centralized control, the official position of general judge was specially set up, which was under the direct jurisdiction and delegation of the emperor.

It is mainly responsible for monitoring whether local officials are loyal to the court, and can report to the emperor at any time whether local officials have violated laws and disciplines, and whether what they have done is competent. After all government affairs are approved by the local top leaders, they will be handed over to the general magistrate for signature before execution.

Soldiers, horses, money, food, household registration, lawsuits, and affairs of all sizes in the prefectures and counties were all supervised and governed by Tongpan. It can be seen that Tongpan had great power to control the emperor, control local officials, and have jurisdiction over all matters.

In addition to the fact that his eldest daughter is now married to an Earl of the capital, not only officials from all walks of life in the city, but also other respectable country gentry members all came to the Sheng family with generous gifts.

"Man Shanda, congratulations~"

"Liu Juren, you must have a few more drinks in a while!"

"Master Zhizhou, please come in~"

Just when Sheng Hong was being escorted off, the house steward came over and whispered a few words beside him. After hearing this, his expression suddenly changed.

"Let's go to the eldest lady~"

After arriving at the courtyard where Mrs. Wang lived, I heard a loud voice without even entering, accompanied by the sound of teacups being thrown.

"Oh!"

"What does the Yuan family mean by this? How can the eldest lady in the family not come to propose marriage? It's not like our eldest daughter can't get married, why should we be so angry?"

"I won't get married, I won't get married. If we, Hua'er, marry into such a family, we don't know how much grievance we will suffer in the future!"

"Oh~" Sheng Hong sighed and shook his head. It didn't matter, and it was no wonder that his wife would be angry. He was filled with anger.

Just now, the Yuan family sent someone to announce that only Uncle Yuan and the eldest son's family came to offer employment this time. It was said that the eldest lady had contracted the cold.

I don’t even believe this excuse. I guess I just want to take advantage of their Sheng family...
