Chapter 203 A gift from an official, the paranoid Qian

"Take all the presents." Zhong Shuling stood up.

Half an hour later, big boxes and small boxes piled up on the table.

Liu Huaishan laughed inconspicuously: "Hey." None of the Liu family could stop her.

Zhongshuling took the lead: "This is a qin called Fengyi, and it's for the girl."

The smiles on the children's faces remained unchanged, and the officials laughed unceremoniously.

Zhangci introduced: "This is one of the top ten famous pianos." The little dolls suddenly howled like wolves.Chen Fan bowed deeply to Zhong Shuling.

"This is the flute, for you." Zhong Shuling picked up another slender box and handed it to Zhang Ci.Zhang Ci took the flute and got up to salute.

Next is the inkstone.Zhongshuling had two inkstones, which were given to Liu Huaijin and Chen Zhonglin respectively, and they were so excited that they burst into tears.

The inkstone of Zhang Jiuyan in the Ministry of Criminal Justice was given to Chen Zhongmei, which was regarded as a professional counterpart.The other boys also received an inkstone, and they were all ecstatic.

The gifts for the girls are not pearl jewellery, but a flute for each of them, Huaishan and Ruhui also have them.The six people were overjoyed, saluted together, and said thank you affectionately.

There is another gift shared by the whole family, a pair of jade chess.The officials looked at Shuling meaningfully.

General Yan really gave each child a weapon, not a dagger, but a dart.The children were excited and terrified, holding the darts in both hands, for fear that something might go wrong.

Both Liu Huairong and Liu Jiannan are adults, and General Yan's gift is each a sword.The two knelt down directly, but General Yan's shoulders shook in shock, and all the officials grinned.

The last thing I showed was a vulgar thing, a box of copper coins.

"You have worked hard these days, and you will have to work hard for a while. Everyone who does the work will be rewarded with consistent money." Tang Chaoying said.

Chu Sheng had already brought people together outside the door.She came in, thanked her with a salute, and walked out with the box in her hand, announcing it to everyone.There was a sound of "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Qin Xiuniang and Qingtang took the money and entered the room, and Qian Shi was sitting at the dining table.She had washed and tidied up.

"You all went to the yard just now to collect the reward?"

"The most." The aunt and nephew replied in unison.

Qian looked eagerly at the copper coins in their hands: "Everyone has consistent money?"

"Yes." The aunt and nephew replied in unison again.

"Those people are high officials in the capital, right?"

"Yes." It was still a tidy answer.

Qingtang handed the copper money to the embroiderer, turned around and went out to work.

Just as Qian opened her mouth to say something, Xiu Niang's question came first: "Your husband, has he treated you very well these days? Is he very gentle and considerate?"

Qian Shi showed a bit of shyness.

Xiu Niang couldn't help sneering: "Why do you think of looking for your son and daughter?"

Qian said: "I have been busy with work, and I heard some news very late, and I couldn't find time to come over. Afterwards, his father came to visit twice and saw that the two children were doing well, so he didn't dare to recognize each other. When everyone wanted to come together, they happened to go out again. I heard that they were back in the past two days, so I wanted to come and have a look.”

"They almost died in Shengping County," Xiu Niang said.

"How come?" Qian raised her head suddenly.

"Why not? Didn't you hear that many people went to grab food? They all carried sickles and big knives. Batch after batch, and some people went to set fire at night."

"Didn't they come back well?" Qian didn't believe it.

Xiu Niang took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

"What are you going to do now?" Xiu Niang looked at Qian.

"I'm going to visit them often." Qian said with a smile on his face.

"Will you bring them a pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

Mrs. Qian hesitated for a moment, and said: "That thing is quite expensive, we can't afford it. It's okay if I make clothes for them."

"After dinner, someone will take you back." Xiu Niang said.

"Now? I haven't talked to the child yet." Qian was anxious.

"Then you want to stay? The girl doesn't entertain irrelevant people."

"Why is it an irrelevant person? I am the mother of Xiaozhu Xiaoya."

"They are called Chen Zhongzhu and Chen Ya now, and they were considered orphans when they received their household registration. Either you take the two children back to raise them, or you reconcile with that husband, and the children will respect you."

Qian's voice was raised: "Why do you, a servant, teach me how to do it? I am the mother of Xiaozhu Xiaoya. If they are not filial, I will be struck by lightning."

"The servants must obey the orders of the master, speak and do things for the master. Those two children have been registered with the government and were abandoned by their families. According to the law, they have no parents. Even if you come It’s useless, the law no longer recognizes your identities, and they don’t have to bear the responsibility of supporting you.”

"But I'm their mother." Qian's emotions were very agitated, panting heavily.

Chu Sheng came in with a plate: "This is your dinner. If you want to make up, someone will help you get and leave the books in the evening. If you choose to go back to Qian's house, you won't have to see your children in the future."

"Why? I have raised them for so many years, and I have never treated them harshly." Qian shouted.

"But you have never treated them kindly." Chu Sheng looked at her coldly: "You will only let the children endure, let the children do more work to treat them well, and let the children say good things to them. If the children are beaten, you I will only hide aside and never block them once!"

Qian Shi was shocked and didn't react for a while.

"That's how those high officials watch the people's flesh and blood be separated? They don't want their reputation?"

Chu Sheng laughed: "No wonder so many of you came together today. You all thought that by virtue of your status as an elder, you could make your children obediently obey you, and that everyone in the village would speak for you? Do you think those adults will treat you No way? How did your brain grow?"

"Filial piety is greater than the sky." Qian choked out a sentence.

"Oh!" Chu Sheng laughed angrily, "If you are unkind, you will be punished by the law. Have you forgotten? You people should be punished and sent to prison."

"I didn't abandon my child, I didn't abandon my child! I didn't know when they were separated, and I managed to survive." Qian said hurriedly.

"Then you want to bring the two children back to Qian's house?"

"The Qian family can't let them study, it's better for them to stay here. Let's get married and walk around, isn't it good?"

"Okay, of course it's very good. You go back today and come to see the child in a few days. Mo Jian will take you back. You have to eat quickly."

Chu Jisheng walked out.Not long after, Mo Jian walked in.Qian Shi was so frightened that she almost ate, and accidentally choked, and after a while, she swallowed hard, and finished the rest of the meal.

Mo Jian grabbed her on the horse and ran wildly all the way to the village mentioned by Qian.

Qian's whole body was limp, vomiting non-stop.

Finally able to speak, she weakly asked Mo Jian: "Is this how you treat the mother of your young master?"
