My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 137
Just as everyone in the Jia family was performing an emotional drama in the side hall, a low and melodious bell seemed to be heard outside.

"Boom... boom..."

Everyone was shocked, and Jia Lian even exclaimed.

"This is the Jingyang Bell...Why is the Jingyang Bell ringing at this time?"

When the Jingyang Bell located on Jingyang Tower rings, something big is definitely happening.

Sure enough, the Jingyang Bell rang 24 times before it stopped. This meant that officials of the seventh rank or above in Beijing, no matter what you were doing, had to go to the palace to see you.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, because among everyone present, they were the only ones qualified to go to court.

Jia Yu didn't say anything. She cupped her hands towards Jia Mu and Jia Zheng and said, "Old lady, father-in-law, the Jingyang bell is ringing. My son-in-law has to go back home first, so I'll take my leave first."

Jia Zheng nodded: "My dear son-in-law, let's go first. I have to change into court clothes. We'll see you at the Huangji Palace later."

"it is good!"

Mother Jia looked worried, and she sighed softly. Just when she was about to speak, she heard a commotion outside.

She was already in a bad mood, her eyes widened, and just when she was about to curse, she saw Lai and everyone running in in a hurry.

"Old lady, there are angels in the palace coming to deliver the message."

"The angel is here?"

Everyone was shocked. Why did the emperor's decree come as soon as the Jingyang bell rang?
Jia Mu quickly asked: "Whose decree is it for?"

Everyone Lai secretly glanced at Yuanchun who was standing among the girls, and said hesitantly: "It's... it's for the eldest girl."

"For the big girl?"

Mother Jia's expression suddenly became startled, and Mrs. Wang was puzzled: "How come you have a decree for Yuan Chun, who is not young and unfaithful?"

But now is not the time to think too much, Jia Mu said quickly: "Don't say anything, hurry up and greet the angel. Thanks to everyone, hurry up and let people burn incense and set the table. Don't keep the angel waiting for a long time."

The group of people hurried out of the side hall.

Soon, everyone who came out of the side hall saw a young eunuch holding an imperial decree standing in the courtyard with two palace guards.

Seeing Jia Mu and others coming out, he smiled and said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, we are in a hurry today. Your Majesty said, keep everything simple. Just listen to the order!"

Jia Yu also recognized that this little eunuch was actually the little noble son who showed him the way in Huangji Palace last time.

I saw Xiao Guizi unfolding the imperial edict and screaming: "The imperial edict has arrived...the wife of General Zhaoyong, Jia Yuanchun listens to the edict!"

Jia Yuanchun stood up quickly and knelt down: "Jia Yuanchun listens to the order!"

Seeing Jia Yuanchun kneeling down, Jia Mu, Jia Yu and everyone else also knelt down.

Xiao Guizi read loudly: "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says:

Jia Yuanchun, the wife of General Zhaoyong and the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, Jia Yu, was Shushen by nature, diligent and submissive, and was given the title of second-grade wife to show her virtuousness.Give him a golden book to show his glory.

From now on, Jia Yuanchun enjoys a salary from the imperial court, and he is ordered to continue to uphold his cautious nature, be diligent and obedient, and shine our dynasty.

This is it. "

As soon as this imperial edict came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

Second-grade Madam... Jia Yuanchun was actually canonized as a Second-grade Madam. What's going on?

As the old saying goes, a wife is as valuable as her husband.

Nowadays, Jia Yu's official position is the third-rank Zhaoyong General, and his actual position is the fourth-rank Commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. Normally, if Yuan Chun is canonized, he will be a fourth-rank Shuo person. Even if the emperor is partial to Jia Yu, he can grant her the title. A third-grade lady has come to an end. There is no reason to call her a second-grade lady.

Don't underestimate these second-grade ladies. In the feudal era, there were nine grades of Gaoming ladies.Among them, the second grade is the watershed of imperial edict.

Only those with a royal title above the second rank can be called wives. The other three ranks are Shuren, the fourth rank is Gongren, the fifth rank is Yiren, the sixth rank is Anren, and the seventh rank and below are Ruren.

This imperial edict means that Yuanchun is now the woman with the highest status in Ning Rong's second house besides Jia Mu.

Not only that, the emperor also gave Yuanchun a golden book.

What does it mean?

To put it simply, this golden book gave Jia Yuanchun the right to write letters to the queen.

This is even more remarkable.

Maybe some people still don’t understand how awesome this thing is.

To put it bluntly, after having this right, Dad Ma and the richest man Wang will have to respect your wife when they see her.

When they heard that Yuanchun was named a second-class lady and was even rewarded with a gold book, everyone looked at Yuanchun with envy and jealousy. All aspects of life were reflected in their eyes.

But there is only one exception, and that is Jia Mu.

"My concubine, thank you Lord Long En."

At this time, Yuanchun stood up, the little devil waved his hand, and a young eunuch behind him respectfully handed over a tray.

A gold book and a writing brush were placed on the tray.

Baoqin, who had been standing behind, quickly trotted over and took the tray respectfully, then retreated behind Yuan Chun, looking at the golden book in the tray with a small face flushed with excitement.

Unlike the others who looked at Yuanchun with envy, jealousy and hatred, Jia Mu sighed: "My father-in-law, you must have other wishes, please grant them as well."

Xiao Guizi was smiling all over his face, "The old lady is indeed wise. Your Majesty indeed has another decree for Lord Jia Yujia."

After speaking, he looked at Jia Yu and said loudly: "Your Majesty, General Zhaoyong and Commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division entrust Jia Yu to accept the order!"

Jia Yu strode forward and knelt down: "I accept the order from Jia Yu, commander of the army of the five cities."

"His Majesty said: Jia Yu... didn't you tell me a few days ago that you would fight the Tatars to the bitter end?

This time, as you wish, I order you to immediately order all the soldiers and horses of your army to assemble outside the Meridian Gate. I will lead the civil and military officials and all the people of Shenjing to parade outside the Meridian Gate at noon!

A huge burden is placed on you, don't let me down! "

Jia Yu's body trembled first, and then she said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Jia Yu, obeys the order!"

After Xiao Guizi announced his decree, Jia Mu couldn't help but stepped forward and asked with a sad face: "My father-in-law, can you tell me what happened?

We, the Jia family, must die clearly even if we die! "

Xiao Guizi hesitated for a moment and then said with a wry smile: "Old lady, originally I shouldn't have said this.

But we think that everyone will know it before long anyway, so it doesn’t hurt to tell you first. "

Having said this, he took a deep breath: "Old lady... Wang Jieshuai was defeated. Less than [-] troops returned from the [-] troops, and Tongguan has been lost!

Now Wang Jieshuai was seriously injured and had just been rushed back to the capital by his subordinates.The Mongolian Tatars are coming soon! "

"boom!"

Xiao Guizi's words were like a thunderous explosion, and then only a muffled groan was heard. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Wang who had fainted on the ground...
