Chapter 600
Emperor Hongzhi felt guilty for the credit he had given to the Confucius, so he replenished it elsewhere.
After seeing off the honor guard of the imperial envoy, Zhao Ce looked at the people congratulating him in front of his house and bowed his hands.
"Today I was busy receiving the imperial edict, and I was in a hurry."
"Thank you for your congratulations."
The neighbors here are all noble people.
Not long after, people from Yongxibo Mansion began to come to congratulate him in an endless stream.
Most of the people who came to congratulate were the housekeepers of the mansion.
Some people had female relatives of the right age at home, so they sent their female relatives to the door to congratulate Mrs. Yongxibo.
Everyone who came to the door brought gifts to congratulate the young couple on getting the royal decree.
It has only been less than half a year since he last received the title, and the title of Count Yongxi has reached a higher level.
Everyone around me found it incredible.
This thing that ordinary people rush for and never get in their lifetime seems to be just something that is within easy reach for him?
Although it is a great achievement to just develop a thing, the reward from the Holy One is a little too heavy?
He was given an iron scroll, and he was also given a special imperial edict.
Su Cai'er came to her senses at this time, straightened her body immediately, and while protecting her belly, she greeted the guests who came to give gifts.
These female relatives looked at Yong Xibo, who was less than 17 years old, but became the third-grade wife.
They all turned red with envy.
Only the female relatives of officials of the fifth rank and above of the Ming Dynasty have the opportunity to obtain the corresponding royal titles.
It's just a chance.
After all, imperial edicts are sealed first from the elders.
Generally, if there is a grandmother in the family, the seal will be given to her.
Only after my grandmother died did my mother have a chance to get it.
If it comes to your wife, you usually have to endure it.
A daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, and sometimes she may have to become a mother-in-law...
Some people may not survive their entire life.
However, Yong Xibo's wife got something that all these officials' wives wanted as soon as she arrived.
Moreover, this Mrs. Yong Xibo was a village woman who was born in a rural area and could not read a single word.
Who can say that he is not envious and jealous?
"Mrs. Yong Xibo, I am the eldest daughter-in-law of Xinkang Marquis. Congratulations."
A lady dressed elegantly came with several ladies to thank Su Cai'er.
Su Cai'er happily accepted the gift and said with a smile: "There are too many guests at home today, so please forgive me for not greeting them well."
After saying that, he asked people to take these people to their seats.
Usually when you come to congratulate, you just give a gift, have a cup of tea and chat for a few words before leaving.
This group of wives of nobles or court officials pulled Su Cai'er and started talking.
Regarding Su Cai'er's eyes, everyone was so familiar that they didn't mention it.
The eldest daughter-in-law of Xinkang Marquis saw that the people serving in the room were all middle-aged women, and said to Su Cai'er with a smile: "Mrs. Yongxibo, how come the people serving in your house are all old women?"
"Yeah, that doesn't seem to be a good idea?" Someone responded: "It's better to have some beautiful maids at home so that when guests come to the door, it's easier to greet them."
"Besides, Mrs. Yongxibo, you are pregnant. It would be a good thing to have a beautiful maid at home to share your stress."
These two ladies don't have any malicious intent.
What they said are also facts.
Su Cai'er blinked her eyes and said matter-of-factly: "The people who serve at home are all arranged by my husband."
"Whatever your husband feels comfortable with, that's what our family will do."
"Arranged by Uncle Yongxi?" These women looked at Su Cai'er in surprise.
The men in their family would not touch these household chores.
Mrs. Yong Xibo, who suddenly flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix, was dressed simply and looked like a little girl who was inexperienced in the world.
At first glance, it seems that it is well protected.
Women always like to watch the excitement.
Many people had a sour taste in their voices.
"How can a man interfere in matters in the backyard? Let's talk about it..."
Someone touched the speaker's hand, and the lady was interrupted and touched her temples.
"I heard that Mrs. Yong Xibo was not from a good family, but I don't know if she can read now?"
When other people heard what she said, many of them remained silent.
Most people looked at Su Cai'er with some expressions of excitement.
Su Cai'er completely ignored the inappropriateness in this man's words and said seriously: "You're literate."
"My husband teaches me how to read and write every day, and just yesterday he praised me for how beautiful my handwriting is."
"And during the Chinese New Year, my husband and I wrote couplets on the front door of our home."
Hearing this, some people lightly "tsk".
On this topic, most people will humbly say something like poor academic performance.
As a result, Mrs. Yong Xibo, who had only just studied and learned to read, actually said shamelessly that her husband praised her beautiful handwriting.
Some people looked at Su Cai'er with discomfort.
Although Mrs. Yongxibo looks innocent, she never shows off the good relationship between her husband and wife.
Even if they come from a wealthy family, why would their husbands teach them to read and read every day?
What's more, the couplet on the door of a home is the face of a house.
How can a husband let his wife get involved?
Does Mrs. Yongxibo not understand, or is she deliberately showing off?
The lady who asked the question said somewhat sourly: "Uncle Yong Xi looks cold, but he is actually a doting wife."
Su Cai'er didn't blush and said with a smile: "Yes."
"My husband is very good to me."
His words were straightforward and full of affection, and his eyes were so bright that it was difficult to look directly at him.
This group of women who originally wanted to watch the show felt that Mrs. Yongxibo might be a bit silly.
It seemed that he couldn't understand the implication of those words at all.
While everyone was thinking speechlessly, a beautiful young lady walked in over there.
As soon as she entered the door, she happily shouted: "Cai'er."
Su Cai'er turned around and saw that it was Wei Qiutong who came with his servants to congratulate him.
She also stood up happily.
"Miss Wei is here."
Wei Qiutong came over and bowed generously to these official ladies.
"Is this the sixth lady of Counselor Wei's family?"
Someone recognized Wei Qiutong's identity.
Some people who didn't know her looked at this pretty little lady curiously.
Wei Qiutong's beauty stood among the crowd and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
She seems to be accustomed to this, accepting others' looks and talking to them generously.
"I have long heard that the women in Counselor Wei's family are extremely beautiful. Now that I have seen her, it is indeed worse than seeing her."
"However, although Mrs. Yongxibo is not from a good family background, her appearance is not bad."
"Standing next to Miss Wei, she looks so cute and adorable."
Wei Qiutong was a bit idle and listened to everyone's words, but he still had to put on a smile on his face.
She hadn't seen Su Cai'er for some time from before the Chinese New Year to now.
Today, her mother said that Uncle Yongxi's residence was very happy, so she specially asked her to come to congratulate him.
Seeing this, Wei Qiutong always felt that there was something different about Su Cai'er.
She finally managed to stick to Su Cai'er's side, and was about to lower her head and grab Su Cai'er's hand.
Suddenly, his eyes touched Su Cai'er's slightly protruding belly.
Wei Qiutong was a little surprised and said: "Cai'er, are you fat?"
