Chapter 439: Got a stable job?

Liao Jiu hummed, "Almost done, I'll leave the rest to others."

Jiang Lianzhu reminded him, "That's good. Your mother, Madam Zhou, brings you food and drinks every day. It seems that she really cares about you. You should go back and see her one day."

Liao Jiu raised his head and said, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is the right time, so I'll take you to the palace. When we come back, we'll pass by the Marquis of Qingning's mansion and go in to take a look."

Jiang Lianzhu looked at him. "Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to the palace to treat the emperor's headache. The emperor has been busy these past few days and has no time to treat illnesses. He should rest tomorrow. And Dabao has to explain to the emperor why he won't go to the palace to accompany his studies."

Jiang Lianzhu thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

Xuanhuang was quite nice to them, mother and son.

The Xiangwang Mansion was vindicated, the evil organization of Baihua Tower was exposed, and Jiang Lianzhu finally got her revenge.

I have promised before to cure the emperor's headache, and I cannot go back on my word. I have to find a way to cure it.

"Okay, let's try it tomorrow."

Then Jiang Lianzhu asked, "By the way, why was I given the title of Lady Benevolence and Righteousness? Whose idea was this? Is there any explanation?"

Liao Jiu smiled. "Of course it was the Emperor's idea. He disregarded the hardships and dangers to support his stepchildren, even risking his life. He was extremely benevolent and righteous, so he bestowed upon her the title of Lady of Benevolence and Righteousness. This is the rank of a fifth-rank Imperial Consort, and she enjoys the same court salary..."

Jiang Lianzhu's eyes lit up.

She thought it was just a gimmick.

Unexpectedly, there's a salary? Does this mean I have a stable job?

She has raised some great babies! They are so delicious!

With a smile on his face, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks for each of the eldest, second, daughter and third child.

"From now on, when mother gets her salary, you three should eat more. You won't have to worry about not having enough to eat."

Liao Jiu's eye twitched. "If you register as a specially invited doctor of our Six Gates, we will also pay you a salary, which is no less than your royal consort. If you like the salary so much, you can also receive my share in the future."

Jiang Lianzhu said seriously, "Who would complain about having too much money? A penny can make a hero fall! You don't know that we were so poor in the countryside back then that we had nothing to eat. You haven't experienced hard times, so you don't understand..."

As for his share of the salary, when it comes, even if he doesn't give it to her, it will belong to her, no room for negotiation.

It has been an ancient law that where a man's heart is, there his money is.

cough.

Liao Jiu saw Jiang Lianzhu so happy and said, "Yes, Doctor Jiang is right."

Jiang Lianzhu didn't find the term "Madam Renyi" outdated. "If you don't mention it, it sounds nice. The word "Renyi" is generous and magnanimous, and it suits me very well. Dabao, Erbao, and Nianbao, do you think the name "Madam Renyi" sounds nice?"

Dabao remained silent and Erbao turned his head away.

Only Nanbao was the most respectful, with a loud voice, "Mommy, it sounds good!!"

Jiang Lianzhu laughed heartily, and her daughter giggled too. The three snow wolves, infected by their owner's happiness, began to tear down the yard, biting everything they saw: bushes, columns, streetlights, food bowls...

Xue Er was still a little fearless and wanted to provoke Chengfeng and Jifeng, but the two glared at him and he was so scared that he ran back with his tail between his legs.

The haze that had enveloped the family's Baihua Tower finally began to dissipate.

***

On the street.

A line of soldiers was marching along with the sound of gongs and drums. In front was a palace servant dressed in eunuch's clothes. He was holding a tray with a small box with gold edges on it. He walked with a breeze.

The onlookers followed behind the team and talked about it.

"This is the eunuch from the palace! What is he doing here?"

"Hey, have you seen that tray? It usually contains imperial edicts!"

"Ah? An imperial edict? Is this going to be delivered to someone? Look at the joyous atmosphere, this is an imperial edict of commendation!"

"That's not the case. There are loud gongs and drums, but I don't know which family has this honor. There have been many officials whose property has been confiscated in the past few days. I have witnessed several cases with my own eyes. They all said that they were spies from Baihualou and had committed serious crimes. This imperial edict of commendation is the first time I have seen it."

"Come on, come on, follow us and take a look, then you'll know."

Lin Ziyi sat on the edge of the courtyard wall, watching the excitement not far away.

Recently he has been learning martial arts and wall jumping from housekeeper Lin. He can now jump wherever he wants. The neighbors on this street have also gotten used to it. Now that the young master of the Lin family has recovered, he has started to like climbing over walls to visit the girls of other families.

If this happened to an outsider, he would definitely be beaten out. Isn't this hooliganism?

But who can blame the young master of the Lin family, as he is rich and handsome?

Just climb it, especially if there are girls of marriageable age in the family, they are looking forward to Young Master Lin climbing the wall.

In fact, they all guessed wrong. Young Master Lin learned to climb walls in order to climb the wall of Liushenmen and find Jiang Lianzhu.

Steward Lin called from the bottom of the wall, "Young Master, come down. This family has daughters. Don't climb around randomly. Be careful, or they might come and rely on you."

Young Master Lin turned a deaf ear and continued squatting on the wall, looking at the bustling street.

"It seems to be heading towards our house!" Isn't the house in the front with the vermilion gate and the two most imposing stone Pixiu their Lin family?

This team seems to be heading that way.

"How could that be?" Butler Lin looked over in confusion.

Their Lin family is just an imperial merchant family. How could there be such a grand ceremony where someone from the palace came to deliver the imperial edict?

As they were talking, the team actually stopped at the door of the Lin family.

From afar, someone could be heard shouting, "By the grace of the Emperor, the Lin family has come out to receive the imperial decree..."

Now, both Lin Ziyi and Butler Lin became alert. Lin Ziyi jumped down from the wall and ran towards home.

When I ran to the door of my house, I couldn't go back because the door was blocked and I couldn't squeeze in.

Lin Ziyi was thin and had just started practicing martial arts, so he didn't have much strength. He had no choice but to jump onto the top of the wall and walk along the wall and roof to get home.

Mrs. Lin had already received the imperial edict in the yard.

He said excitedly, "Thank you so much! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. This is an honor for our Lin family, and it's what my Ziyi should do..."

The eunuch delivering the decree said sternly, "The Emperor has said that although your young master Lin is frail, he is a man of great righteousness and chivalry, a rare and worthy man. Without him protecting Prince Xiang and the others, their lives might have been in danger. Your young master has performed a great service, refusing to yield an inch in the face of Baihua Tower. He deserves this commendation. From now on, all the young men of our Da'an Kingdom must learn from Young Master Lin's fearless spirit... a true hero of Da'an Kingdom!"
