Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang thought for a while, "Your Majesty, after all, it's all about finding a good son-in-law for Mr. Wei and his family, and getting a reward. The servant was taken away and locked up in the house for a long time. Look at Baili's crying eyes. swollen, Jiajun's brows became deeper in anxiety."

"Oh! I understand." Zhenzong smiled and said, "Emperor brother can't suffer in vain, and Baili and General Song can't be in vain, Zhou Huaizheng! Immediately order someone to send a hundred pearls to Nanqing Palace, and give Baili and General Song every day." 500 taels of silver and five pairs of lucky jade."

Only then did Defang smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Defang returned to the Nanqing Palace. Concubine Di was playing in the garden with her five-year-old grandson Xinqi in her arms. When she saw Defang came back, she greeted her, "Your Majesty, did you see many people on the imperial street with your majesty? It's rare for your majesty to leave the palace. very happy."

"Yes, Your Majesty is happy, but Baili Jiajun and I were scared to death."

"Did something happen?"

"Yes." Defang hugged Xinqi, "Xinqi, so good."

“Grandpa, the dim sum is delicious”

"Grandma made it, hahaha, grandpa should try it too." Defang and Concubine Di sat down on the stone bench, and then told Concubine Di everything about the day, which made Concubine Di and Ke'er laugh for a long time. Frowning, "Ma'am, don't you have to laugh like this? Your Majesty also laughed for a long time. Is it so funny that I was taken away?"

"No." Concubine Di slowed down, "The concubine is just laughing at His Majesty, and it really made the prince feel wronged."

"Isn't it?" Defang pointed at Baili, "Ma'am, Ke'er, look, Baili's eyes are swollen from crying, and you are still laughing, hey, it's better to be my Baili, knowing that you are worried about me."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty also rewarded Baili, hehehe"

"Ma'am, your husband and I were almost taken away by others as a rich man, and I still laughed."

"Then you are too big a son-in-law, and most people really can't catch it."

"Why can't you catch it? The four big men just took it away."

Xinqi looked up at Defang, "Grandpa, why are you fishing for turtles?"

Concubine Di and Ke'er covered their mouths and smiled again when they heard this, Defang held Xinqi's little face in his hands, "It's not fishing for turtles, it's fishing for rich men."

"Grandpa, what is a rich man? How do you catch him?"

"There's no need to fish, the golden turtle son-in-law is a human being, which means son-in-law."

"People are not tortoises, so how can you be called a golden tortoise?"

"This word comes from the Tang Dynasty, Xinqi, have you seen the fish charms and fish bags hanging on the jade belts of your uncles' official uniforms?"

"Well, yes"

"During the Tang Dynasty, internal and external officials of the fifth rank and above all wore fish charms and fish bags. The princes of the Li family used fish charms and the common officials used copper. Both of them were engraved with their official positions and names. The fish bags containing fish charms were also ornaments of third rank and above. Gold is used, and silver is used for decorations above the fifth rank. In the first year of Empress Wuhou Tianshou, she decreed that the fish bags and fish charms worn by internal and external officials should be replaced by turtle bags and turtle charms. The same is true for tortoise talismans with silver ornaments and bronze ornaments for fifth rank, while those who use golden tortoise talismans and golden tortoise bags are all high officials and princes above third rank. Li Shangyin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a poem called "For You": For You Yunping Infinitely charming, Fengcheng is cold and afraid of the spring night. Marrying a golden tortoise for no reason is a good thing to live up to the early court." Defang patted Xinqi, "So the golden tortoise has become a symbol of great wealth. Or a very capable son-in-law is called a golden turtle son-in-law."

"Grandpa, I'm also a wealthy son-in-law."

"Who do we believe that Qi wants to be the golden tortoise? But if some official's daughter marries you in the future, it will really catch a golden tortoise, hahaha" Defang laughed, "But we believe that Qi will not be a little golden tortoise, To be a unicorn, the son-in-law of a golden unicorn, is much better than a little golden turtle."

In the same month, Defang's second sister, Princess Jin, died of illness, and she was granted the posthumous title of Princess Xianjing. [Princess Jin: The second daughter of Taizu, Princess Yanqing was granted the title of Princess Yanqing in the fifth year of Kaibao, and she married General Zuowuwei Shi Baoji (the word right, famous general, the second son of the founding hero Shi Shouxin) Taizong ascended the throne, and was named Princess Xu, Chun In the first year of Hua Dynasty, she was changed to the princess of Jin State.At the beginning of Zhenzong, Princess Jinchang. 】
