What news was in the palace? Gillian, Liu and others had no channels to learn about it in advance. In the evening, Zhao Yanping sent back two sets of official uniforms. Guo Xing, who had seen this scene twice, was the first to notice the good news. He looked at the little patches of the official uniforms exposed in the official uniforms, and then looked at the expressionless official, and said in surprise: "The official has been promoted again?"
Zhao Yanping nodded.
Guo Xing almost shouted loudly to the rest of the house to come out soon, but he thought of the five family rules that his wife had just set, so Guo Xing controlled his mouth in time and laughed constantly.
In the hall, Ah Jiao took Meng Zhao to talk to Liu. Knowing that Zhao Yanping was about to come back at this time, the family of three was waiting for him to share dinner.
When Zhao Yanping held something around the screen wall, Guo Xing, who was smiling even happier than marrying a wife, was stunned.
Gillian had never personally participated in any promotion by Zhao Yanping. There was no secret that Liu changed his son's official uniform. Now that she saw her son carrying two more clothes of official uniforms, she guessed it first before Gillian. She couldn't help but stand up, walked to the door, stared at her son and asked, "Is he promoted again?"
Zhao Yanping nodded, looked over his mother and turned to Gillian behind him.
Gillian was the last one to react. After listening to her mother-in-law’s question and seeing her husband’s confession, Gillian’s surprise immediately spread from the corner of her mouth and then quickly reached her eyes. She also had a smile on her face, and the delicate little lady smiled much better than Guo Xing. Such beauty and sincere joy fell into Zhao Yanping’s eyes, which became the biggest reward for this promotion.
Gillian followed him twice, but he didn't let Gillian enjoy any blessings. He ate a lot of grievances. Now, he can finally give her a glory.
If there were only two young couples at this moment, Gillian would definitely throw herself into her husband's arms to express her happiness. Zhao Yanping would also hug her little wife and kiss her hard. Unfortunately, although the Zhao family had a small population, they all surrounded her when they heard the news.
Gillian was still smiling like a flower, but Zhao Yanping restrained himself, withdrew his gaze and answered various questions from the people around him.
"Why did you get promoted again so quickly? Is it because of the Jingzhou case being solved?" Liu asked happily while taking over the official uniform from his son.
Zhao Yanping was in a complicated mood and said, "It's not all. The old lady is old and has handed her resignation to the emperor. There will be an official transfer in Dali Temple." He must have made contributions, but if it weren't for Lu Taigong's resignation and there would be no official vacancy on his superiors, he would never have had the opportunity to promote him in an extraordinary way.
Did Mr. Lu resign?
Liu's smile faded. Mr. Lu was his son's mentor. He was the top leader of Dali Temple and would definitely give his son a lot of care. Now that Mr. Lu is in retirement, he is not sure if other senior officials in Dali Temple will be dissatisfied with his son and put on his shoes.
All mothers are afraid that their children will be bullied outside. Gillian will worry about Meng Zhao, and Liu will also worry about Zhao Yanping. This is probably because of the nature of being a parent and has nothing to do with the age of the child.
Zhao Yanping could see his mother's thoughts and said, "It's been a hot summer recently, so it's good for the old lady to rest."
Nothing is more important than body. Zhao Yanping doesn’t need a teacher to take care of him. The old man is healthy and free from illness or disaster. Moreover, Zhao Yanping vaguely feels that he can be promoted to the fifth grade this time, and 80% of him will be related to his mentor.
"Official, is this a supplement to the sixth-rank official uniform?"
Cui Niang stood beside her brother, staring at the bird pattern that looked like an egret and a crane in the middle of the official uniform, and asked with her head tilted.
Everyone looked at Zhao Yanping.
Zhao Yanping said: "This is the patch of white squid, a fifth-rank official."
The fifth grade!
Cui Niang was the most exaggerated. She covered her mouth and took a big breath. Guo Xing also looked like her chin was about to fall off. Gillian and Liu were both surprised and happy.
The joy of promotion was enough for the family to share, and it was inevitable that they would show off in front of the servants. Zhao Yanping sat on the chair and ordered Cui Niang to come to serve the food.
Cui Niang left with a smile. Bai Ling, Chun Zhu and Dong Zhu were also good at looking at the master's expression and retreated consciously.
Guo Xing also returned to the recessed room.
"Is this the fifth grade?" Liu sat next to the table, feeling like he was dreaming, "A higher than the third grade?"
Xie Ying is the son of the Marquis of Yongping, the nephew of Queen Xie in the palace, and the 19-year-old high school Tanhua. He is a famous talent in the capital. Until now, he has only been a fifth-rank magistrate. Her son has never passed the imperial examination. He has been promoted so quickly, and he has surpassed his previous peak?
The great good things suddenly came down, and Liu was happy, but he was also uneasy.
Zhao Yanping analyzed: "The case trial of Dali Temple is not like the six ministries that have too much oil and water to make. When dealing with criminal cases every day, some wealthy families cannot withstand the boredom. If there are other ways, they are unwilling to go to Dali Temple. Although the third master is from the fifth rank now, he is a serious Jinshi and can even enter the cabinet in the future. At most, I can only be promoted to the original position of my mentor and cannot be compared with him. The emperor promoted me in an extraordinary way, which should be a face for my mentor. If I cannot be competent, the emperor will never be biased."
If the official is promoted, it is another matter whether he can sit firmly.
Mrs. Liu understood that her son was not picking up the stuffed cake for nothing, so she quickly told her son to be a good job and not to embarrass Mr. Lu.
Zhao Yanping naturally understood this principle.
Gillian listened quietly. Anyway, she would ask what she wanted to know.
Cui Niang came over with food. She was naturally not an ordinary maid to the Zhao family. She was also brave. She set up the food, bowls and chopsticks. Before leaving, Cui Niang couldn't help but ask Zhao Yanping with a smile: "Official, how much salary can a fifth-rank official receive?"
Cui Niang has never understood the responsibilities of various officials in Dali Temple. Anyway, they are related to the case. In Cui Niang's opinion, salary can best reflect the benefits of promotion. Otherwise, how could the people connect promotion with wealth?
The salary is a vulgar question. Jiao and Liu were actually curious, but they were embarrassed to ask directly. Only Cui Niang asked whatever she wanted, she was straightforward and she was so straightforward that she was unconcealed.
Zhao Yanping looked at his mother, and Liu smiled awkwardly, lowered his head to wipe Meng Zhao's hand.
Zhao Yanping looked at Ah Jiao again, and Ah Jiao blushed and looked aside, pretending to be careless.
Isn’t Zhao Yanping actually a commoner? In the past, his salary could not fully support the family’s living expenses. He was almost a man, but he even had to pay for his mother and wife. Now that his official position has been promoted and his salary has been raised, Zhao Yanping finally doesn’t have to feel ashamed of his mother and wife.
"It's about eight taels." Zhao Yanping said with a faint expression. After saying that, he reminded Cui Niang: "If you know, don't go outside to show off."
Children of aristocratic families with deep family backgrounds in the capital were promoted to fight for power, and only those poor children would be complacent about their salary.
Cui Niang doesn’t show off, but she is happy for the officials and her brothers and sisters. In the past, the officials were poor and they were both in vain. Now that the officials are officials, they have monthly money, how much does it matter! Cui Niang was worried because the officials gave them five cents of monthly money, and was worried that the officials and their wives could not save money. Now, she no longer has to worry, and she can spend the monthly money to the end with peace of mind!
Cui Niang went back to the kitchen with a smile.
Liu shook her head helplessly and said to Gillian: "This girl Cui Niang is still like a child. In a blink of an eye, she is also a seventeen-year-old girl. In another three or four years, you will also have a romantic family for her."
Just because of Cui Niang's childish temper, Gillian never thought about this.
Usually the master would be betrothed the maids at home to the servants at home. Ordinary maids would be betrothed to the servants at home. But the Zhao family only had Guo Xing, Cui Niang's brother, and Jiao's embroidery shop was also female workers. Go outside to find them, but Jiao was not aware of the truth. Jiao was also afraid that Cui Niang would be wronged.
"Eat first, there is no hurry to do things." Zhao Yanping saw that she was holding the chopsticks and stopped moving, and spoke to interrupt Gillian's distraction.
Gillian smiled and the family started to eat.
Before leaving after dinner, Liu said to Gillian, "Yanping said that the official uniforms distributed by the court will be specially made larger, so that small officials can wear them with a simple change. The length of the official uniforms in Yanping before did not need to be changed much, but the fat and thinness need to be changed. You will ask Yanping to try it later."
Gillian wrote it down.
After the couple returned to the house, Gillian asked Zhao Yanping to try it first.
Both of these are summer clothes, and they will be worn in the next three seasons. The clothes on Zhao Yanping are indeed as Liu said, they are quite fit, but they are too generous. If Zhao Yanping is a fat man, they must be just right in dress.
"You go and take a shower first. I'll change it quickly when it's not dark yet." Gillian took off his official robe and hugged him and was about to go to the bed to change it.
Zhao Yanping suddenly pulled her back and hugged her in his arms.
Gillian raised her head in confusion.
Zhao Yanping touched her rosy little face, looked at her clear almond eyes and said, "The court will accept the promotion of officials as their mothers at the beginning of every month. I will also ask for the title of the wife to be your mother at the end of the month."
The court only gave the wife and mother of the first to fifth rank officials. When Ajiao has an imperial edict, officials cannot be rude to her, otherwise they will despise the court. For example, Ajiao's aunt, Jin, in Wu'an County, used to humiliate and scold Ajiao, and Ajiao could only fight back verbally, but she could not do anything to Jin. Now that Jin dares to be rude to Ajiao, Ajiao will send someone directly to the government and punish Jin for insulting the imperial edict.
Gillian was in a hurry to help him with the official uniform, so she smiled and pushed him to take a shower.
Zhao Yanping left, and there was a hint of complexity in Ah Gillian's eyes, but she suppressed it.
After this change, Gillian was busy until almost the second day of the second day. She lowered her head and worked on needlework. Zhao Yanping sat opposite her to read a book. The two seemed to have returned to the years in Wu'an County.
"It's been modified, you can try again." Gillian stood up in her official uniform with her hands on her back.
Zhao Yanping also put down the book.
The two walked to the clothes hanger and Zhao Yanping put on his official uniform. The bamboo green outfit made his face look like a jade, and the white squid soaring wings added his official power. The same official robe, after being changed to fit, was completely different. The bloated and slightly sloppy official suddenly became handsome.
Gillian bit her lip and said quietly: "When you dress like this, if you are seen by a lady, you will definitely want to marry you."
Zhao Yanping was about to untie his belt, but when he heard this, he raised his eyes to her: "What you mean is that even if you and I meet by chance, you just need to look at me and you will be secretly moved and want to get along with me?"
Gillian blushed and said angrily, "I'm not that superficial."
Zhao Yanping took off his official robe and hung it on the clothes hanger. He walked to the window and turned off the lights. Then he returned to the bed and pressed her down and said, "You are not superficial yourself, why do you say that other people's ladies are superficial?"
Gillian was just vaguely worried that he would become more and more outstanding, and he would inevitably attract bees and butterflies. He said casually, how could there be so many problems?
"You are actually very superficial, just like the lady in the story book. When you see the handsome scholar, you fall in love with him at first sight and ignore anything else?" Zhao Yanping said while kissing her neck.
He mentioned the book again, and Gillian pushed him out of anger, but Zhao Yanping grabbed both wrists and raised them up.
Tonight's Zhao Yanping is more domineering than usual and is more frivolous.
Gillian was busy with needlework for more than an hour, and her shoulders were a little sore, so she was forced to work with Zhao Yanping for a while, but unexpectedly relieved her fatigue and fell asleep comfortably.
The next day, Zhao Yanping put on the official uniforms that his little wife had made for him personally and walked to Dali Temple.
Chapter completed!
