Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!

Lin Xiu didn't have a good face towards An Bihuai at the moment. When she heard that someone was coming from the palace, her dull eyes became a little more colorful.

She also agreed to An Bihuai's request, turned and went into the inner house, and took her auspicious clothes as a sixth-rank Anren.

The first time Jiang Zengyun left the capital, he was given the reputation of an imperial envoy and was promoted to the title of Minister of Rites.

All in all, he finally made it.

Feeling very happy, he took the imperial decree issued by Yinzhen to Songyang County.

I saw the house of An Bihuai, the magistrate of Songyang County. It had a three-courtyard house and a large garden.

I couldn't help but think, "Isn't this corruption too blatant? It seems I need to report it to Concubine Qian."

Several concubines wanted to follow An Bihuai to receive the imperial edict, but Concubine Xiao coughed a few times and scolded them, "You bitches! Since ancient times, how could a concubine receive an imperial edict?

He bullies the lady every day, relying on the two ladies in the palace.

The young concubine pouted in dissatisfaction and wanted to hug An Bihuai's arm and act coquettishly, but was scared away by An Bihuai's angry eyes. She had no choice but to follow Concubine Xiao back to the inner house in a depressed mood.

The incense table and candles were ready, the main door was wide open, and An Bihuai extended his hand to Lin Xiu, indicating that they should join hands to receive the imperial edict.

Lin Xiu looked at the incoming imperial edict and the cheerful expression of the ceremonial officer in the middle, and his back straightened a little.

Without giving An Bihuai any face, he walked to the front and knelt down first.

An Bihuai's face turned red with shame, but she still knelt down beside Lin Xiu happily.

Jiang Zengyun remembered Liu Hua's instructions and said to An Bihuai in a cold voice, "You must be the County Magistrate of An, right? As far as I know, the County Magistrate is of the seventh rank. This lady is of the sixth rank. Please kneel a little behind her."

An Bihuai was able to reach the position of county magistrate because the governor of Jiangnan gave face to Liu Hua.

But unfortunately, he himself is a confused and arrogant person, so he did not fully understand the deep meaning of it.

Thinking it was his own daughter, he became angry when facing Jiang Zengyun and said to him dissatisfiedly: "This ceremonial officer, our queen is also considered a princess in the palace.

His father and I knew that the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues had existed since ancient times.

You should understand these principles. Even though Lin Anren is one level higher than me, she is still just a woman.

I should have been ahead of her."

Jiang Zengyun knew that this might be feasible, but what he had just said was not without reason.

Moreover, the task Liu Hua gave him was to destroy the prestige of the county magistrate.

Jiang Zengyun was originally an official in Beijing, and he had been frustrated for more than ten years, otherwise he would not have arranged a funeral for Concubine Dunsu, who was so troublesome.

The official's temper is many times worse than that of the local officials. Of course, he will not give face to An Bihuai, a man who relies on women to become an official.

He sneered and said, "The royal family's secret is destiny. What do you want to use to suppress this will of heaven?"

He randomly spat on An Bihuai's face and cursed, "You are a traitor and disrespectful to God.

Concubine An still recognized you as her father, which was considered as giving you face. Now you don’t care about either face or dignity.

You still want to bully my wife, what a joke."

Lin Xiu had been suffering from An Bihuai and his concubines for more than ten years. Now that her own daughter had earned her a pardon, she had straightened her back a lot and no longer argued about the temporary victory or defeat.

Lin Xiu is the most reasonable, thoughtful and observant person, otherwise he would not have handed over his daughter An Lingrong.

Apart from being infatuated, he has absolutely no flaws.

He said softly to Jiang Zengyun, "Sir, I know you too. There are so many people here, so don't ruin the reputation of the two ladies. Announce the decree now!"

Jiang Zengyun respected Lin Xiu very much. After hearing her speak, he stopped lecturing An Bihuai.

Under everyone's curious gaze, he said according to etiquette: "Kneel."

Anyang County is located in a remote area. Before Lin Xiu became a sixth-rank Anren, no one in the entire county had received an imperial edict, so they naturally didn't know what the rules were.

When Jiang Zengyun told them to kneel, they knelt down in uneven positions. Some people even looked up cautiously to see what the ceremonial officer looked like, especially the imperial edict in his hand.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

There is a woman named An Lin, gentle and virtuous, with renowned virtues, and a prudent mother. Her daughter entered the palace, receiving my grace and honor, and was appointed a concubine. She is gentle and respectful, and has given birth to an heir, contributing greatly to the nation. This is due to her mother's guidance, as well as her own virtues. I now honor this woman, An Lin, with the rank of Third Rank Virtuous Lady, and bestow upon her a hundred taels of gold and ten bolts of silk, in recognition of her virtue. I pray that she upholds her original aspirations and that the blessings of her family continue.

Admire this! "

Lin Xiu took the imperial edict with excitement. She couldn't believe that she had jumped from the sixth rank Anren to the third rank Shuren in one go.

This is a great grace. After all, the title for women below the third rank can only be called pardon.

Only those of the third rank and above could be called imperial edicts. Lin Xiu looked at An Bihuai, who was sweating profusely.

At this moment, she was clear in her mind that in the An Mansion, it was no longer this man who had the final say, but she herself.

Jiang Zengyun said a lot of nice things again, and Lin Xiu asked Aunt Xiao to give him a lot of silver.

Jiang Zengmin refused, and then whispered to Lin Xiu an important matter.

"Mr. An Shu, I have something important to tell you. The Emperor has decided to go on a southern tour.

I heard that the residence chosen to receive the emperor is the home of Concubine Qian's mother, that is, the Lin family.

He is the one who is good at dealing in salt, tea and cloth. He is a wealthy businessman.

An Bihuai felt that he had grasped the core information, so he turned his head and stuffed a 20-tael silver note into Jiang Zengyun's hand.

Jiang Zengyun quickly took it with disdain, thinking to himself, "It would be a waste if I didn't take it. He's taking the hard-earned money of the people anyway. Taking his money can be considered as getting rid of a bad guy for the people."

An Bihuai also had some thoughts in mind, and said to Jiang Zengyun in a flattering way:

"Your Majesty, where should you stay when you go south?"

Jiang Zengyun didn't care about An Bihuai's feelings at all and rolled his eyes in front of him.

He said speechlessly, "An County Magistrate, you are only a seventh-rank county magistrate. The emperor is going to Jiangnan to your Songyang County. It is impossible for you to come to greet him. There are prefects and governors."

An Bihuai continued to ask unwillingly: "The Lin family is just a businessman, they are just richer, but I am still an official."

Jiang Zengyun finally understood what it meant to have three pounds of brains, two pounds of water, and one pound of tofu dregs.

Looking at An Bihuai's bright little eyes, he knew what he was planning. It was nothing more than making money by relying on the reputation of welcoming the emperor. What other ways of making money had he not thought of?

However, due to the presence of An Lingrong's mother, Lin Xiu, Jiang Zengyun had no choice but to patiently explain, "The Lin family is qualified to receive the emperor because of Concubine Qian, and the Lin family's garden is truly first-class.

Anyone who comes in will say it is a paradise on earth. Moreover, there is a relatively large case related to the Lin family, so the emperor asked the Lin family to receive him.
