After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing asked Ah Si about the gift-giver in detail, and after listening to it, she knew better.

But they were just acquaintances, and at most they had some business dealings. Isn't it inappropriate for her to give her such an expensive gift?

Seeing Yan Qingqing's gloomy look, Ah Si asked cautiously: "Madam, is there something wrong with this gift? Do you want someone to catch up and return the gift?"

Yan Qingqing calmed down the expression on her face and said, "No, since it's been delivered, just leave it here for now. I'll go there in person when I'm free."

Ah Si breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay.

Their wife finally got the royal title, the eldest young master was promoted to a farmer's officer, and everything was prosperous. Their servants also followed the rising tide, but there was no problem.

Yan Qingqing looked at Ah Si and said with a smile: "Ruyi, give Ah Si ten taels of silver. I'm very pleased that he can be so vigilant.

Although there is nothing wrong with these things, there are many things that he just doesn't care about. He did a very good job of feeling something was wrong at the first moment and reporting it to me. "

After hearing this, Ah Si was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and said, "Ah Si, thank you madam for the reward, and wish her good luck.

As the official becomes bigger and bigger, sooner or later he will be able to become a first-class official. "

Yan Qingqing smiled after hearing this and said: "Okay, let me lend you some good words. Get up quickly. One day I really want my wife to reward you with a big red seal."

After hearing this, Ah Si quickly said a few more auspicious words and got up from the ground.

Ruyi put a ten-tael silver ingot into his hand and said with a smile: "Madam rewarded you, you must work hard and work hard in the future."

Ah Si heard the words and quickly agreed, and then retreated.

There will be many guests at home today. Since it is to celebrate her honorary title of Mingzhao, she has to wear the imperial attire awarded to her by the emperor.

To be honest, Yan Qingqing has never worn these fifth-grade imperial clothes. I don’t know if it will fit me or not.

Ruyi and Ruxue carefully took out the clothes from the special box.

Yan Qingqing looked at it and saw that it was a complete set, from head to toe.

The crown is placed on top, with three branches of pearls and peonies, three with pearls and peonies at the beginning, five with half-open pearls, and 24 pieces of green clouds. There are eighteen green peony leaves and two gold and silver polka dots. It looks very gorgeous.

There is also a pair of Cuikou necklaces with gold and silver treasures on them.

Next down are the clothes, which have three layers in total. The outermost layer looks a bit like Ming Dynasty Xia Phi, with mandarin duck patterns embroidered on it.

Yan Qingqing looked at her and twitched her mouth. Could it be that the old emperor did it on purpose? Knowing that she was a widow, he deliberately used mandarin ducks to stimulate her.

Then there are the accessories on the clothes, which are all very finely made.

Ruyi and Ruxue had never seen such complicated clothes. They lowered their heads and studied with Yan Qingqing for a long time before they figured out how to wear it.

In the end, Yan Qingqing wore a majestic outfit, not to mention that she really had that style.

Ruyi swallowed her saliva and said, "Madam, this is so impressive, I don't even dare to look at it."

Ruxue also nodded, but they couldn't understand Yan Qingqing's pain at this time.

This crown weighs several kilograms on a bald head, and wearing it so thickly in summer is bound to cause prickly heat.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingqing wanted to take off her clothes, but after thinking about it, she still had to learn to adapt.

If something unexpected happens one day and she needs to wear this outfit, she can't be embarrassed.

So Yan Qingqing had to endure the discomfort, but it didn't show on her face at all.

But luckily it's morning now and it's not that hot yet. It's not that uncomfortable to wear.

When Yan Qingqing walked to the dining hall, she saw Li Xiangping wearing a green official uniform and a double-winged official hat on his head, and his body was a little more solemn.

At this time, everyone in the family, including the servants, were in the dining hall. After seeing Yan Qingqing, they all knelt down and said, "Congratulations to Ming Zhao Ren! Congratulations to Ming Zhao Ren!"

Although everyone in Yan Qingqing's family has been congratulating her since she was awarded the title, this is the first time that she has been so tidy.

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Okay, everyone, get up. Today is a good day. Each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver.

Our family's life is getting better now. Later, I will discuss with your eldest wife and eldest daughter to increase your monthly salary. "

Everyone was very happy to hear this. Servants like them who had signed a death contract usually didn't have monthly money, and even if they did, they would get some token payments.

But since they came to the Li family, Yan Qingqing has never treated them badly in this regard, and the wages paid to them are basically the same as those working in the workshop.

Now one person is rewarded with two taels of silver. If the monthly payment is still to be increased, even ordinary bankers may not be as wealthy as them. So everyone is happy.

Customers came to the door just after breakfast. The first person to come was Shopkeeper Yun of Pinmingxuan. Although Yan Qingqing got his share of the tea house in vain, the book Yan Qingqing gave him was really good.

Especially in "Water Margin", the heroes and good men in it are all different, and their personalities are also different.

Now, Pinmingxuan is full of people listening to books every day, and even the county magistrate has gone to listen to it several times.

Even Shopkeeper Yun is a loyal fan of "Water Margin". After listening to this chapter, he still wants to listen to the next chapter.

Unfortunately, Yan Qingqing wrote the manuscript too slowly, and he himself suffered while waiting.

But he didn't dare to rush it, especially after Yan Qingqing got his imperial decree.

Shopkeeper Yun was happy and sad at the same time. He was happy that he was brave enough to choose to cooperate with Yan Qingqing and found himself a backer.

What's sad is that this backer has become very successful now, and he is afraid that Yan Qingqing will not be able to provide him with a storybook.

After Shopkeeper Yun saluted Yan Qingqing, Yan Qingqing said with a smile: "We are partners. Shopkeeper Yun, please don't be so polite. Don't forget to take away the script I wrote when you leave."

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Yun smiled like a chrysanthemum and quickly agreed, and then Li Xiangping accompanied him to talk.

Then came Shopkeeper Xue from Yuelaiju, Shopkeeper Li from Tongpengzhai and other business partners, as well as Ding Yuanwai Chen Liufan and others who had met Yan Qingqing.

There are also relatives at home, including those from the Li family and the Yan family.

Fortunately, Yan Qingqing has class, so she doesn't have to greet anyone who comes.

Yan Qingqing never knew that there could be so many relatives in their family. Anyway, all the seven aunts and eight aunts she knew and didn't know were here.

Although Yan Qingqing didn't have to go to greet them, no matter who came, they had to come to see her. Yan Qingqing's smiling face froze and she became numb.

I thought to myself that this is really not something humans do.

Someone called out that Magistrate Ling was coming, and Yan Qingqing stood up resignedly. She could not greet others, but Magistrate Ling couldn't.
