The Tianxi Dynasty was relatively casual about conferring titles. If they made meritorious deeds, they could confer "noble titles" such as county lords and county lords. However, this could not be hereditary. However, if the queen mother waited to accept the goddaughter, but it was not so easy to seal the princess, it can be said that everything depends on the credit.
Based on this alone, many Guixun families are very happy to let their daughters follow the princess. No matter whether they can earn a military merit in the battlefield, at least they have been with the princess for a long time, and when they get married, they can get the title of "County Lord" by the emperor. When she got married, she was very dignified.
Tianxi Dynasty valued achievements, if it were not for this, there would not be a thriving situation today. Although the internal worries are just level, there are still external troubles, but everyone is not very worried.
It was Qiao Mingyu's intention to seal the county master to Gu Lian, and Lingsu also had this intention, but he didn't mention it. The new emperor thought about it for a few days and then agreed.
According to Lingsu, Gu Lian will earn military merit sooner or later after the new year, and the title of the county master can be left unsealed for the time being.
When Su Dan entered the palace today, the new emperor looked at the thin rice paper and sighed for a long time. Lingsu was right, Gu Lian would never lack military merit in the future.
With this piece of paper, you can first seal a county head, go to the frontier after the year, and have more right to speak, so that you will not be neglected.
Gu Lian didn't know that the will of her seal was about to be passed down. At this moment, she was sitting in the old lady's room and quietly listening to the old lady's daily routine.
"I don't know what it means now." The old lady complained while hugging Gu Zijun, "Everything that everyone knows is kept secret, so we don't know what to do now. ."
This is talking about the death of the old emperor.
Now the new emperor has been on the throne for a few days, but the news of the death of the previous emperor has not been announced, and the death knell has not been struck. In Huaijing, anyone with a little ability can find out the news of the old emperor's death, but if the official didn't say it, they could only pretend they didn't know.
When he officially ascended the throne yesterday, although the new emperor gave the late emperor a posthumous title, it was only given in the courtroom. The news that came out only mentioned the division of others, without mentioning the late emperor. If it weren't for this, now the whole country would have to pay mourning for the late emperor, not to mention wearing red clothes and having a New Year's banquet, even laughter and laughter are not allowed.
The rule of the Tianxi Dynasty was that when the emperor died, the whole country should be mourned for three months, and entertainment activities such as banquets, marriages, laughter, singing and dancing were forbidden for 27 days. Among them, entertainment activities included some unspeakable things between husband and wife. If the queen, empress dowager, or prince dies, they will be mourned for twenty-seven days, and such activities will be prohibited for seven days. The rest, etc., do not enjoy the honor of national mourning.
Not only that, if the emperor dies, the officials of the fifth rank in the capital and the ladies who have been sealed by the fifth rank wife will have to kneel in front of the palace gate and mourn for seven days, every day from 7:00-17:00, No one under the age of sixty is allowed to be absent. You must cry all the way to show your grief.
Now that the weather is freezing cold, if you really want to cry and mourn, not to mention the old ladies and gentlemen who are less than 60 years old, even the ladies in their 30s and 40s can hardly hold it, and many people will die.
"Anyway, it's a good thing." Thinking of this, the old lady sighed.
It is a good coincidence that Gu Zhimo is an official of the fifth rank. The Yin family has the title of Mrs. of the fifth rank. As the mother of Gu Zhimo, the old lady naturally has it, and it will not be lower than the fifth rank. This kind of title has no practical use, and the royal seal is very generous. It just so happened that the old lady was not over 60, so after such a tossing, she was determined to return to the West.
Gu Lian drank the tea slowly without interrupting.
The old lady deliberately talked about this in front of her, just to ask for some news from her. The emperor pretended that the old emperor was not dead, and everyone had to accompany him to pretend, but the problem was that everyone knew it was fake. Now everyone dresses and feasts as usual, but they are worried, for fear that the new emperor will suddenly turn his face and say that you dared to have a feast during the mourning period of the late emperor, and then you can only swallow this dumb loss yourself.
But if you don't hold a banquet, it's unreasonable to suddenly not even hold a new year banquet. The emperor concealed the news of the death of the late emperor. If you didn't hold the banquet, wouldn't you tell everyone in disguise that the old emperor was dead? Fighting against the new emperor, no fool would do it.
In fact, there is nothing to worry about. The reason why the Gu family is so uneasy is because they didn't support the third prince very much at the beginning, and they were afraid that the third prince would take the opportunity to settle accounts after the fall. Although Gu Zhidai's man is from the third prince's side, the Gu family's mistress is from the Yin family. Who doesn't know what's going on in the Yin family? To support the Fourth Prince openly and aboveboard is simply a thorn in the eyes of the new emperor.
Seeing that Gu Lian didn't mean to speak, the old lady felt even more uneasy. She recalled what she had just said, and wished she could slap herself.
Are royal affairs something she can choreograph? Patronizing the clichés, he even complained about the saint's decision, which is simply impatient.
Gu Zijun didn't know what was going on. He looked at the adults ignorantly, and suddenly broke out of the old lady's arms and rushed towards Gu Lian.
"Sister hug."
Gu Lian showed a slight smile and caught the little fat man. Seeing that he was well raised, his mood improved a lot, and he said lightly: "There is a banquet in the palace at night, and my granddaughter is going to enter the palace, so I will not participate in the family banquet. After the luncheon, I have to rush back."
There is a banquet in the palace, and the meaning is already obvious. Even the palace is holding a banquet in a fair and bright manner, what else do they have to tangle with these little fish and shrimp.
The old lady looked at Gu Lian, thinking that no matter how bad it is, there is another Gu Lian in their family who has a good relationship with the princess, and she should not be cleaned up by the new emperor. So he was relieved and smiled again.
There were no twists and turns during the luncheon, it was all my own family, not even my aunt came out. My aunt only attended the family banquet in the evening, and did not attend the luncheon during the day.
Gu Yi has been in a lot of energy these days, and at first glance, she is living a good life. Gu Lian chatted with her casually, but most of the time he was still entangled by Gu Zijun.
After the banquet was over, Gu Lian was about to leave when a big eunuch suddenly came to the door.
When Gu Zhimo saw the big eunuch, his heart skipped a beat, for fear that he was here to find fault. Fortunately, the eunuch's beaming appearance did not seem to be a bad visitor.
"Hey, Mr. Gu, congratulations to you." The eunuch smiled and folded his hands.
Gu Zhimo's heart moved: "I don't know why you are so happy?"
The eunuch just smiled and didn't speak. Although Gu Zhimo welcomed him into the door, his posture had nothing to say.
In the end, the eunuch next to Gu Lian was clever, and stuffed him with a lot of silver naked. Only then did the eunuch take out the imperial edict from his sleeve with satisfaction. The imperial decree was very simple. After praising Gu Lian for a while, he said, "Promote good strategies and meritorious deeds, and seal the county head of the Five Immortals", which directly stunned the whole family.
Gu Lian was named the county head? !
Not to mention the inexplicable prefix, let's just say that the county owner can't be sealed if he wants to.
In addition to the rank of the wife after marriage, the women of the Tianxi Dynasty were only left with the county lord, the county lord and the princess. It is the second-rank concubine in the palace. If there is no title and only the surname is used as the title, it is not comparable to the county owner.
Gu Lian ignored the dream-like expressions of the family, calmly accepted the order, and returned to the Princess Mansion with the eunuch maid.
As for the Gu family, she doesn't care.
Years later, the Gu family was visited by a group of high-ranking officials who had no relationship with them on weekdays. Of course, they did not come in person, but sent a housekeeper to go out and give generous gifts. Although the county owner doesn't live in Gu's mansion now, he is the daughter of the Gu family.
Yin Shi was released, but this year, she was extremely heartbroken. It was a good thing to let it go, but when she met Gu Lian and was sealed, what made her sad the most was that when she went to visit other people's houses, those ladies ran on her with the words "Congratulations to your Gu family daughter for being sealed", secretly laughing at her useless. Now who doesn't know that she suppresses prostitutes? As a result, the prostitute has a promising future, and her own daughter is hard to find even her husband's family.
Yin went back to her parents' home and wanted to talk to her parents and sister-in-law to marry her daughter. However, today's Yin family is no better than before, the new emperor's methods are fierce, the Yin family has been suppressed for a long time, and now it is even worse. As soon as he entered the door, the Yin family regretted it and refused to mention the matter of marrying her daughter. Instead, it embarrassed everyone in the Yin family who were looking forward to Gu Qing's marriage.
The Mistress of the Yin family is the most embarrassing. At first, she despised Gu Qing, but now her son's job has been lost, and her husband's job is in jeopardy. Not to mention that the Yin family can't compare to the Gu family's big house, I'm afraid that even the second and third bedrooms of the Gu family can't look down on the Yin family.
"Auntie is going back today." It was the first time that Mrs. Yin was so confident in her parents' family. In the past, her parents' family was better than Gu's family. Her sister-in-law often looked down on her. Well, I'll go back first."
After finishing speaking, Mrs Yin left the gift and left with the maid and Mrs. Her family's family is so shabby, she can't stay too long, otherwise the sister-in-law will shamelessly ask her to marry her daughter, and she will not be able to refuse. And she wasn't wrong, Gu Zhidai really wanted to go back to her parents' house today. On the second day of the first lunar month, doesn't the married girl want to go back to her parents' home
Looking at Yin's back, everyone in the Yin family was in a bad mood.
"What can I do? When I went back to her mother's house today, Gu Zhimo didn't accompany her. She was not welcomed by her husband, so she was so arrogant." After returning to the house, the Yin family's sister-in-law spat and complained to her husband.
The eldest brother of the Yin family reprimanded with a sullen face: "Don't say a few words!"
The Yin family is not welcomed by her husband's family. Could it be that their Yin family can benefit from this? In fact, the Yin family wished that the Yin family would be particularly favored, so that the Gu family would also like to pull them in the face of the Yin family. pity... ...
The Yin family is afraid that it will be completely lost.
