"Yes, we have them, we have them." Lady Zhang couldn't stop smiling and asked Lian Manman, "Manman, what does 'Lady of Respect' mean?"
Lian Shouxin was conferred the title of Middle Secretary of the Seventh Rank, and with this rank, his wife could also receive the title. Corresponding to the Seventh Rank title is 'Lady of Respect', which implies an Imperial Decree. Of course, strictly speaking, the wife of a Seventh Rank official should be called an Imperial Order holder. But that's just a formal distinction in books; generally, they are uniformly referred to as Imperial Decree holders.
"Mother, from now on, you're also an official, just like my father, at the Seventh Rank." Lian Manman explained to Lady Zhang, seeing she still didn't quite understand, she added further, "Mother, this means you're like the Magistrate's wife now."
