The tragic situation at the beginning of autumn did have some impact on Zhou Shuren. After all, Zhou Shuren's image in the past was that of a good official who was close to the people and loved the people. Some people thought that Zhou Shuren was cruel, while others thought that he should be treated this way.
One person has an idea, let alone tens of thousands of people. Plus, when it is uploaded too much, it loses its authenticity, and Zhou Shuren's reputation becomes mixed.
Fortunately, there were no people who controlled the situation in ancient times. Of course, a servant who signed a death contract and betrayed his master would be of no use to him.
In the capital, the emperor was surprised to receive the news. He was worried that Zhou Shuren was not ruthless enough and was thinking of trying to persuade him. It seems that this is not necessary and it can save a lot of time.
The emperor took out the imperial edict, which was the promotion edict for Zhou Shuren, and threw it to Eunuch Liu, "Burn it."
Eunuch Liu took it and said, "Yes."
The prince looked straight ahead, thinking to himself that Lord Zhou was really lucky. The imperial edict was about to be issued. Lord Zhou had touched his father's heart again. He had seen the imperial edict. He was promoted two levels from the fifth rank to the fourth rank. Now it seems that the situation will change again.
The prince had to admit that some people were really lucky and of course had good abilities as well.
It really helped him vent his anger!
The Emperor signaled to the Prince that he could go back. The Prince raised his eyebrows. His father didn't want to tell anyone about this. He was waiting to blow up a bunch of people!
The emperor waited until the prince left before he asked someone to write the imperial edict. After it was written, he sent someone to announce it.
Eunuch Liu lowered his head. Although Lord Zhou had not come to Beijing, Lord Zhou and the emperor could still cooperate with each other despite their distance. Even if his rank was not high, he could not neglect him.
It was the first month of the year in Lizhou City. Zhulan's belly was more than six months old, and Zhao's was a little bigger than hers.
Zhulan is not particularly tired now. After two months, she wants to follow the car, but Zhou Shuren will not let her. Zhulan leans on Zhou Shuren and says, "When will the imperial edict arrive? If my belly gets bigger, how can I walk?"
Zhou Shuren was also worried. He thought the imperial edict would arrive within the first month of the lunar year, but it turned out to be after the first month of the lunar year. "It should be soon."
"Hopefully soon."
Zhulan hopes that the baby in her belly will love her more and must be born after ten months.
Because the Zhou family had people like Mrs. Song, Zhulan didn't pack her luggage in advance even though she knew what was going on.
In the past few days, Li came close to her again, all because Li was frightened by Li Qiu's incident and felt safe around her.
Li didn't stay long every day. She would come only after Minghui fell asleep.
Zhulan was talking to Li when Steward Ding ran in excitedly, "Madam, great news, great news."
Zhulan knew what was going on, but she asked, "What's the good news?"
Life depends on acting. Ever since Mrs. Song came into being, Zhulan discovered that her acting skills have improved rapidly. Look how realistic she is in pretending to be excited.
Steward Ding grinned, "Jinyan sent back news that the master has been promoted to prefect, prefect of Jinzhou."
Zhulan was stunned. This time it was really not her acting. Oh my god, it was a triple jump, from the fifth rank to the fourth rank. She also became a royal lady. No wonder Butler Ding was so excited that he was going crazy.
Moreover, the prefect of Jinzhou is the nearest prefecture to the capital. Yes, Pinggang is under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou. I looked up at the sky in silence. He was thrown into the most chaotic place.
Steward Ding slapped his head and then remembered what he had forgotten, "Madam, Jinyan told you to prepare to receive the imperial edict."
Zhulan understood that the imperial edict to confer her title had also arrived.
Zhulan had experience in receiving imperial edicts, so she quickly got ready. She took her family to receive the edict and handed the prepared purse to the official. Zhulan held the edict in her hand, and she was quite excited.
Another happy thing was that since she was not in the capital, she did not have to go to the palace to express her gratitude, which was really good.
Yes, yes, she still needs to pack her luggage, and she needs to do it as soon as possible because she is pregnant.
The officials and guards who read the imperial edict did not leave, but escorted the Zhou family to take office.
Li waited for the officials to leave, but still felt it was unreal, "Mom, Dad became the prefect?"
Zhulan nodded, "Yeah."
Dong was stunned. Her father-in-law was the prefect of Zhili Prefecture. Although his power was equal to that of a prefect, his rank was different. It would be fine if he was transferred to Zhili Prefecture, as he would have less power after changing the place. She didn't expect that he would jump so quickly and be promoted directly to prefect, and the prefect of Jinzhou at that. Should her father-in-law go to Beijing next
Zhulan returned to the room and looked at Gongren's clothes, which were a little more gorgeous than Yiren's, especially her headdress.
The eldest and second oldest Zhou were so excited that the eldest brother said, "Mom, we haven't sent anyone to tell Grandpa yet."
Zhulan, "Yes, I forgot about it when I was so happy. You go and make the arrangements."
Then he told his daughter, "Today is a big happy event in the mansion, everyone in the family should celebrate, and also, give the servants one month's salary today."
Li came back to her senses, "Mother, just reward the servants!"
Zhulan burst out laughing. Li, who was still dazed just now, woke up after hearing the money. "Everyone in the family will have their monthly salary doubled this month."
Li grinned, "Mother is so nice."
Then Zhulan instructed Steward Ding: "Count all the things in the house and give them to me."
She wanted to see what to take with her.
This time I have to stay in the government office. I don’t know how big the backyard of the prefect of Jinzhou is. However, I have to take all the valuables with me. The Zhou family will not come back to Lizhou City.
Steward Ding was full of energy. He had become the prefect's steward. He had never thought about it before. "I'll go and be gentle."
Zhulan then said to each room, "You guys should also go back and pack up your luggage. Pack up everything you can first."
After Zhulan had made all the arrangements, Chang Lian heard the letter coming back. After coming over to congratulate his mother, he returned to his own yard to pack his luggage.
In the first room, Li happily packed her luggage and said, "Master, you have become the master of the prefect's family."
Boss Zhou grinned, "You're not bad either, Madam."
Li was very emotional, "Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"
A few years ago, she felt very confident with twenty taels of silver in her hand. But now, she is wearing silk, jewelry worth dozens of taels, and has servants. It seems like a dream.
"Ouch, that hurts, it hurts."
Li's face was full of tears.
Boss Zhou let go of his hand and smiled, "If it hurts, it's not a dream."
Li is angry. Is it possible to bully others like this? If you want to pick a fight, just pick one side. Why are you trying to pull both sides? Are you trying to make a big deal out of it
Boss Zhou wanted to run away immediately when he saw that things were not going well. Li was quite strong, a typical member of the Li family. She grabbed the head of the family's clothes and said, "I'll pinch your face and let you pull mine."
Juanhua stood outside the door, unable to go in or out. The old man really liked to bully the old lady, but every time he was bullied by the old lady, the old man continued to do so without getting tired of it.
The second house, Zhao and Zhou Laoer, had not packed their luggage. They had very little luggage, and most of it was in Chuanzhou. Zhao asked, "Master, should we go back to Chuanzhou, or follow our parents?"
Zhou Laoer pondered for a while. In his heart, he wanted to go with his parents, but he knew that he had to temper himself after thinking it over. "I'll go tell mom that we're not going."
