Fair Lady

Chapter 38 Sharing the Emperor's Grace

Jin Xida left for a month, and sure enough, a foster mother, Mama Liu, was brought here by the housekeeper of Xu's house.

Mother Liu is about 35 years old. She wears a simple bun with a jasper hairpin and wears a well-fitting Tsing Yi. Just not an ordinary mother.

Accompanied by Mama Liu were Mama Song, who was beside Mrs. Weiyuanhou, and Nanny Liu, a maid from the palace. They came to pay homage to Zhen Zirou and his wife and brought two carts full of of various items.

Among them, three golden and exquisite large wooden boxes were rewarded by the Empress Dowager, one for each of the three brothers and sisters, and they were filled with study and daily necessities suitable for their respective ages, of course, they were all high-quality goods.

For example, Shuyao’s box contains beautiful beads and jewelry that are not in the other two boxes. Considering that she is in the three-year filial piety period, they are all plain-colored. The most eye-catching is a pink blue snowflake brocade-faced white fox Maoli's high-necked crane cloak is noble, luxurious and elegant, and can be worn during filial piety.

Because Nanny Liu is a high-grade maid sent by the Empress Dowager, the emperor's kindness is great, and she cannot be ignored. Under the guidance of Mama Liu, Shujie changed his clothes and cleaned his hands, and led Shuyao and Shuwen to the direction of the capital for three kowtows. He was so tall that he took Nanny Liu and Mother Song to the hall to pay respects.

After the worship, Nanny Liu stood in the center of the yard and said loudly to the many people watching outside the door: "Today, the empress dowager and His Majesty respect grace and righteousness, and respect 'the old and the old, the young and the young and the young' I hope that Dazhou will be warm and benevolent everywhere. The empress dowager is grateful for the kindness and kindness of Mrs. Zhen, the wife of Xia's mansion, and sent me to pay homage, and ask all the neighbors to take care of the three children who lost their parents."

The county magistrate Yang who had just arrived hurriedly knelt down with everyone in and outside the courtyard, shouting repeatedly, "Long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the empress dowager."

County magistrate Yang called out "dangerous" in his heart, and his back was sweating just thinking about it.

Fortunately, he hasn't done anything to these three children. He didn't expect that Zhen Zirou, who is always smiling and calm, has such a strong backstage. Have a look.Really, really, Xia Linxuan is really a big idiot, if he had such a wife, he would have flourished a long time ago, why would he be stuck in a small county town as a policeman?

And the luck of these three children seems to be very good. Although there are two big backers in Beijing, after all, the distance is a bit far, but they don’t have any secret recipes. The tofu and soy milk they make are amazingly delicious. All the big restaurants gave up grinding tofu by themselves and ordered directly from the Xia family.I heard that the big restaurants in several neighboring counties are planning to send horse-drawn carriages to Xia's every day when the weather cools down and the tofu doesn't spoil easily.

However, Xia Shujie was also benevolent. After discussing with several tofu shops, he raised the price of his own products by [-]%, leaving most of the market for other colleagues.After all, most people would like to break a copper coin into two halves, and would rather not spend [-]% more every day to buy tofu and soy milk. No matter how delicious it is, just try it once in a while.

Now Xiajia Tofu Factory is mainly facing rich people. Fortunately, Yulin County has an endless stream of merchants every day. They don’t care about the money. A tofu shop as their regular breakfast every time they come to Yulin.One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, and the location of Xiajia Tofu Shop is good, the business is still very good.

What made County Magistrate Yang even more envious was that the three little boys got auspicious beasts like the little white tiger and the red fox from nowhere. official?

It's a pity that greedy eyes are greedy, there are many people who are greedy, and he is not the only one, but who dares to snatch it?That's a tiger, a ferocious beast, it can eat people, it's not something that can be hugged and walked away.When that little boy shows off his power, mother, that aura is really scary, no wonder the people from the Zhen family are pissed off one by one.

The little boy even named him "Xiaoguai", how funny and deceitful!Where is it?Have you ever seen a good tiger?

County Magistrate Yang nodded and bowed his head and wanted to enter the courtyard, but was stopped by two people dressed as palace guards: "Who?"

"Your subordinate, Yang Yishan, is the magistrate of Yulin County, a close friend of the Xia family, and sworn brothers of Xia Tutou." Although those two were just bodyguards, they couldn't help but be bodyguards in the palace. not close?County magistrate Yang, a seventh-rank sesame official, would not dare to trust him.

Seeing the housekeeper of Xu's house nodding in confirmation, the guard let magistrate Yang in.

What kind of person is Liu Mama, as soon as she saw Yang Yishan, she knew that he was not sincere, and she was too lazy to talk. She was of a higher grade than Yang Yishan, and she didn't need to salute. , I miss these three poor children, and I hope that you, the magistrate Yang, can take care of them."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, took out a small iron plate from his purse and handed it to Shujie: "This is a gift from the Empress Dowager. If you need it in the future, you can use it to enter the palace to ask for an audience."

Shujie quickly raised his hands above his head, took it respectfully, brought his siblings to kneel down again, and kowtowed in the direction of the capital: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, who is a thousand years old."

Nanny Liu nodded in satisfaction. This child is smart and polite, and he can understand everything. Mother Liu taught him at the beginning. Not only did he not make any mistakes, but he also knew how to comprehend by analogy.

The two little ones were also very well-behaved and sensible, and followed their elder brother to salute, doing a decent job.Seeing the good things that the queen mother rewarded, there was curiosity and joy on the small face, but there was no greed, and no gaffe.

The Zhen family really knows how to raise children, these three children are no worse than the children of those big families in Beijing!

After hearing the news, everyone in the Xia Mansion happened to see the scene of "granting the card", their eyes glowed, and Xia Linyu begged the two guards blocking the courtyard gate: "Let us go in and thank you, we are members of the Xia family. He is the elder of the three children, uncle."

The guards looked at the butler of the Xu Mansion and Mama Liu. When Mama Liu left the capital, Jin Xida had said many things to her, so he naturally knew these people in the Xia Mansion and whispered a few words in Mama Liu's ear.

Madam Liu frowned, and said to the guards: "We are ordered by the Queen Mother to pay homage to Mrs. Zhen, and it has nothing to do with other people. We have to leave now, return to Beijing, and let the idlers go away."

The guard took the order, and said to Xia Linyu and the others: "Scatter, everyone."

Shujie caught sight of Xia Linyu and the others, but he didn't even move his eyelids.

Shuyao watched the whole process of carrying all kinds of snacks, and shook her elder brother's hand lightly. The brother and sister had the same heart and smiled at each other.

Shu Jie bowed to Madam Liu: "Mama, since my first parents passed away, fortunately, the neighbors on Xitang Street have taken good care of us three brothers and sisters. I would like to share the snacks and food rewarded by the Empress Dowager to everyone, so that everyone can feel the benevolence of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Anyone can use it.

Mother Liu admired with eyes full of admiration: "Master Shujie's kindness, the Empress Dowager will definitely approve, and it's okay to share snacks and food." After finishing speaking, she ordered to the four maids around her: "Please help, and leave some for the two young masters and girls of the Xia family. Take some, and distribute the rest among the households on this street, one for each household."

Mama Liu and Mama Song also nodded, good boy, generous, grateful, worthy of Jin Xida and Mrs. Weiyuan Hou's wholehearted protection.

Especially Mother Liu, she is a nanny who has just been released from the imperial palace. A retired palace nanny like her has always been a candidate for a prestigious family to be a nurturing mother or a managing mother for those big ladies, and the treatment is very generous.

It was only because Jin Xida was kind to her that he agreed to come over to be Shuyao's foster mother.She saw the small actions of Shuyao and Shujie just now, and immediately became willing for her choice. It is not bad to entrust the rest of her life to such a benevolent and simple family. , I will definitely not treat her badly in the future.

As for the fact that the Xia family is still a small household in the market, Mother Liu doesn't care, she is not one who cannot live without fine clothes and good food, and having experienced many things, she yearns for a warm and simple life.It is precisely because of this that Jin Xida chose her.

The neighbors outside the yard hurriedly followed Zhang Shiwen and knelt down and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, who is a thousand years old." They were very moved by the Shujie brothers and sisters in their hearts. They are really distressing and good children. These neighbors, like Xia Butou and Xia Niangzi, value love and righteousness!
