Chapter 912: Respond to the benefactor

After all, Xu Junlou was younger. He was so shocked that he did not think deeply about why he, Tanhua, could get the honor of a wife for his aunt, but Fu Minqing and Zou Chenglong, who were even higher than him, did not.

Just because Li Chen said that it would be too simple and hasty to encourage others to raise orphans through this kind of reward.

"I am grateful to your highness for your kindness."

Looking at Xu Junlou's joyful look, Li Chen said with a smile: "I will prepare the imperial edict later. After you have dispersed the eunuch, I will let the eunuch who announced the imperial edict go back with you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Junlou thanked him again and again before leaving Xizheng Hall.

In ancient times, officials also had time regulations for commuting to and from get off work.

It is similar to modern time, and when you go to work, it is the hour of Mao, which is seven o'clock, so there is a saying about Mao.

The time for get off work is usually at Shen, that is, at 4 pm.

It is called Dianmao when you go to work, and it is called Sanshi or Sanya after get off work. There are many sayings, but most of them have the same meaning.

As the head of the Eastern Palace Palace, Xu Junlou's duties as a housekeeper doomed that his get off work hours may not be fixed, and it depends on how long the prince is busy.

But on this special day, I had to go back with the imperial edict, so Xu Junlou got off work on time and went back to the Xu Mansion with the eunuch waiting at the door.

Although he was admitted to Tanhua and had a formal civil servant position, Xu Junlou did not move and still lived in Xu Changqing's home.

Today, Xu Changqing has not been in a good mood since he learned about Guan Zhiwei.

He was always worried and had no intention of working, so he rarely went home early.

Not long after he returned home, he heard Xu Junlou coming back. He was about to call Xu Junlou over and tell him to be careful during this period and not to make His Royal Highness dissatisfied. But before he could speak, Xu Junlou ran in excitedly.

"Uncle, hurry up, come out quickly, where is the aunt? Call out the aunt too."

Seeing this, Xu Changqing frowned and scolded: "How old is he? How can he be so irritable? You are now a court official and the head of the Eastern Palace Secretary’s Office. Everything must be mature and steady. How can you be so frivolous..."

"Your Highness's imperial edict!"

Xu Junlou directly interrupted Xu Changqing's nagging, and he wished he could smile to the sky and said, "Your Highness has appointed Aunt as the fifth-rank imperial edict!"

These words made Xu Changqing get up from the chair, and he screamed in surprise: "Really, really!?"

Before Xu Junlou could answer, the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside.

"The imperial edict has arrived, and the Xu family will receive the edict!"

The Xu family accepted the order, rather than specifying that a person received the order, which means that the imperial edict was sent to the entire Xu family.

"It's true! It's true, uncle!"

Xu Junlou's explanation also came. Xu Changqing could not hear what he said at this moment. He immediately pulled Xu Junlou and rushed out, running and shouting: "On and down the mansion, come to the main hall to receive the order!"

In the midst of chaos, the Xu family, from the master Xu Changqing to his wife Liu, Xu Changqing's old mother, and the servants below, all knelt neatly in the main hall of the mansion.

The eunuch holding the imperial edict saw that everyone was here, shook the imperial edict, cleared his throat, and sang loudly.
