ancient female doctor

Chapter 406

A few people sat down, and after a short exchange of pleasantries, the officials of the Ministry of Rites asked the scribes who came with them to bring out the silver book, looked at the green bamboo and the green shirt, and said: "I am here this time to register the medical officer Xia. Native place of birth, to prepare for the record."

"Prepare the book and make a report?" Qingzhu was stunned by the words of the official of the Ministry of Rites.

Rao is not very familiar with political affairs, but she also knows that the meaning of making a lawsuit is to make a confession document, which can only be enjoyed by people with formal grades.Originally thought that after King Ning bought half of her military achievements with tens of thousands of taels of silver, at most he could reward her with some land and family property, and then give her some honorary title, that's all. no……

"What? Doctor Xia doesn't know yet?" The official of the Ministry of Rites glanced at the green bamboo and the green shirt, and said, "Forget it, since Doctor Xia doesn't know yet, let me explain it for Doctor Xia." Bar."

"Thank you, my lord." Hearing this, Qing Zhu quickly thanked her.

"It's okay, this is a proper ritual." The official of the Ministry of Rites shook his head slightly, looked at Qingzhu and said, "The king's vermilion pen canonization was sent to the Ministry of Rites at noon today. Because of the tight schedule, the Ministry of Rites only informed Mr. No one was sent to the mansion to inform again."

"After the regent plans to ascend the throne, he will confer the title of Medical Officer Xia as the head of Yide Renhui County, and hundreds of households in the city will be enshrined in the silver book according to the law, and a copper report will be made."

"Women who are already married, if they are sealed by their husbands, their birthplace, date of birth, and husband's name must be written on the body and the silver book."

"Women who are already married, if they are sealed by virtue, they must report their birthplace, date of birth, and the names of their descendants on the body and the silver book."

"As for unmarried women, if they are conferred, regardless of the reason, their birthplace, date of birth, and parents' names must be written on the report and the silver book."

"That's why I came to the mansion to register Doctor Xia's birthplace."

After listening to the explanation from the official of the Ministry of Rites, Qing Zhu stood up, saluted the official of the Ministry of Rites, and said: "Thank you sir for clarifying the confusion, Qing Zhu understands."

"If you understand, let's start." After the official of the Ministry of Rites nodded slightly, his face straightened, and he turned his head to look at the clerk who was standing behind him holding a silver book and holding a brush. Seeing him nodding, he looked at Qing Zhu asked, "But Qing Zhu, daughter of the Xia family?"

"Exactly." Qingzhu nodded slightly and replied.

"Qingzhu, daughter of the Xia family, where were you born and where is your ancestral home?" The official from the Ministry of Rites paused for a moment before continuing to ask.

"My lord, Qingzhu's birth and ancestral home are both the same, and she is Xiajia Village, Qingshan Town, Yongning County, Ningzhou Prefecture, Ningzhou Prefecture." Qingzhu replied again.

How did you know that after Qingzhu finished answering, the official from the Ministry of Rites asked again: "Qingzhu, daughter of the Xia family, where were you born and where is your ancestral home?"

When Qingzhu heard it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help it, and she wanted to twitch. Is this official from the Ministry of Rituals really so rigid?
However, even though she couldn't help but slander her, Qingzhu still replied honestly and well-behaved: "Returning to my lord, Qingzhu, daughter of the Xia family, was born in Xiajia Village, Qingshan Town, Yongning County, Ningzhou Prefecture, Ningzhou Prefecture; her ancestral home is Daruichao Xiajia Village, Qingshan Town, Yongning County, Ningzhou Prefecture."

What Qingzhu didn't notice was that when she answered the document for the first time, she didn't even start to write. It wasn't until she answered according to the rules of the officials of the Ministry of Rites for the second time that she started to write on the silver book.

After hearing Qingzhu's polite answer, the official of the Ministry of Rites paused for a moment. This moment was the time for the scribe to write Qingzhu's hometown on the silver book.

The official from the Ministry of Rites seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. As soon as the scribe stopped writing, he continued to ask: "Qingzhu, daughter of the Xia family, what year, month and day were you born?"

"My lord, Qingzhu, daughter of the Xia family, was born on the [-]th day of the first lunar month in the first year of Ruian." Qingzhu replied.

"what……"

After hearing Qingzhu's answer, the official from the Ministry of Rites let out an almost inaudible sound. Qingzhu knew what he was yelling at, because the [-]th of the first lunar month of this year happened to be the time when Emperor Ruishun was located in the Regent.

After a brief moment of surprise, the officials from the Ministry of Rites resumed their previous rigidity, and asked again: "Xia's daughter Qingzhu, what are the names of your parents?"

"Returning to my lord's words, my family's surname is Xia, and my name is Zhengbo, while my family's family name, Xiamen Du's family, is taboo Cuilan."

After the question was finished, the official of the Ministry of Rituals relaxed slightly, looked at Qingzhu and smiled slightly: "Okay, these are the due procedures, and I can't be sloppy in the slightest. It's time to ask now, Ben The officials have finished asking questions, and Doctor Xia doesn't need to be nervous anymore, please sit down and talk."

"Yes, Qingzhu understands, thank you sir for reminding me." Qingzhu gave a slight salute, thanked him, and then sat back down again.

Qingzhu's careful and courteous appearance was secretly admired by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the palace ladies who had been drinking tea by the side.A woman who knows that she will ascend to a high position after a few days, and still behaves so politely to a person whose rank will be inferior to many of her in a few days, at least, can be regarded as a smart person.

Especially the officials of the Ministry of Rites, apart from admiring him, they felt satisfied.

The official of the Ministry of Rites was satisfied, and wanted to make a good relationship, so he mentioned Qingzhu cryptically: "The court dress of the third-rank county lord, if it is early, it will be delivered tomorrow afternoon, if it is late, it will be the tenth day of the first month." It can only be delivered in the evening of nine, Doctor Xia had better find two good embroiderers and let them wait at the mansion."

"Because the order came suddenly, there is no way to make new court clothes. I can only take the size of Doctor Xia and look for the court clothes I made before. I don't know if I can find one that is about the same size as Doctor Xia. What if the time comes? It doesn’t fit well when it’s delivered, and it’s not good to make any jokes at the ceremony.”

Hearing the words of the official from the Ministry of Rites, Qingzhu was sincerely grateful, stood up again, gave a blessing, and said, "Thank you, sir."

The officials from the Ministry of Rituals waved their hands and said, "Forget it, when you're looking for Xiu Niang, don't make too much fanfare, just thank me."

Upon hearing this, Qingzhu understood that the so-called failure to find the right size was mostly false, and the real reason should be that someone in the Ministry of Rites deliberately made things difficult for him.

Isn't Zong Suxin's grandfather Zong Hansong, Minister of Rites?
Thinking of this, Qingzhu was really grateful to the official of the Ministry of Rites, bowed deeply again, and said: "My lord is very kind, Qingzhu will remember it in my heart, and I will definitely repay it in the future."

After the Qingzhu ceremony, Qingshan also stood up, gave a long bow to the official of the Ministry of Rites, and said: "I dare you, I haven't asked the adults for their names yet."

Qingzhu is a woman after all, it is not good to ask a man's name, so at this moment, Qingshan will intervene.

Hearing this, the official from the Ministry of Rites said, "My surname is Zhang, and my first name is Zhang Xinming. It's the same sentence. I don't want to report generously. I just hope that when you are looking for Xiuniang, you will be quieter. Don't let me and me It’s enough for your colleagues to make things difficult.”

"Yes, it's natural." Qingzhu and Qingshan responded together.
