Chapter 469: Time passes to see people's hearts
"Mingyue is still thinking about my old lady and knows that I like this." Mrs. He tasted the cold sour and sweet, and she was so comfortable that her eyes narrowed into thin slits.
“Mrs.
"I said before that my old lady has good taste, but you still don't believe it, so believe it now." Mrs. He squinted her eyes and smiled very slyly.
"Yes, the old lady has great taste." Gui's mother smiled very knowingly, "This lady Xia is really good."
She had indeed been wary of Xia Mingyue before.
I am afraid that this person has too many plans for the old lady, and I am even more afraid that the other person is harmless to humans and animals, and his appearance of being well-behaved and sensible is just superficial.
Now that I have gone through a lot of things, I have finally seen people’s hearts.
Smart, steady, sensible, well-measured, yet thoughtful and well-rounded. What’s more rare is that he has a kind heart and is kind and righteous without being arrogant or impetuous.
Obviously she is just a young lady who is less than twenty years old, but she has a calmness and calmness that is not consistent with her age.
It is as if he has experienced everything in the world and seen all the vicissitudes of life.
This made Mother Gui, who had been with Mrs. He for a long time and experienced many ups and downs, not only recognize Xia Mingyue, but even developed a little admiration for her.
Seeing what Gui's mother said, Mrs. He's smile became even stronger, "Ming Yue is a good person, and County Magistrate Pei of Jinqiu County is also quite good. She also mentioned this in the letter she sent back. Mention this matter.”
The He family is the head of the family, and its power in the court cannot be underestimated. The children are distributed throughout the court, and there is a lot of weight in the annual assessment and promotion of officials. The right to speak.
Such a good parent officer needs to be promoted to a higher level.
First, those who are in a high position and have great power will naturally have strict discipline on their subordinates. In the officialdom, they also pay more attention to the effect of superiority and deeds, which has an excellent effect on promoting the atmosphere of the officials below.
Secondly, if diligent government officials are always depressed and frustrated, no matter how passionate they are, they may not be able to withstand the test of time. They need to be rewarded to maintain a positive attitude.
"Yes." Gui's mother nodded with a smile and took the opportunity to say, "This time also coincides with the New Year. Doesn't the old lady really intend to write a letter in her own hand? It doesn't need to be more, even if it's a word or two I'm afraid the ladies will be happy for the first half of the year if they see it."
"Huh, even if it was written by my old lady, they wouldn't hesitate to read it." Mrs. He snorted coldly. "It's been a while since I moved to this place, and I haven't seen any of them come to see me. I'm afraid they have already forgotten about my old lady!"
Mother Gui, "... …”
If she remembered correctly, when the old lady moved here angrily, she uttered harsh words in front of everyone, saying that if any of them dared to disturb her, they were deliberately not letting her live in peace. His legs must be removed from the family tree.
The latter two are nothing more than that. With the old lady here, let alone breaking her legs for the sake of reputation, she would not hesitate even if she was going to be doomed by a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
But those words that did not make the old lady live in peace...
The old lady is old, no one dares to make the old lady unhappy, because it can only be a load of good things. We drove here one after another, and letters came in from time to time asking about the situation, for fear that there would be something wrong or unhappy with the old lady here.
As a result, the old lady now blames them for not coming to visit?
I really agree with that sentence. The longer I live, the younger I get. Isn't it like a child to be so temperamental and unreasonable?
Mother Gui suppressed the smile that filled her heart and said, "Isn't it different this time?"
"Let's not talk about the Chinese New Year, just for the sake of County Magistrate Pei... , let’s put County Magistrate Pei aside for the time being. Madam Xia has worked hard for a long time, and now she is helping the county government find ways to resettle the victims, but she does not make any profit from it. How should such benevolent and kind deeds be allowed to the emperor? It would be best for both the queen and the queen to listen. This can be regarded as a reward for Lady Xia, right? "Mrs. He loves Lady Xia so much and uses her as an excuse. Maybe this matter can still be explained.
Sure enough, after listening to Gui's mother, Mrs. He nodded, "What you said makes sense. Mingyue has a pure heart and deserves to be rewarded."
It cannot be said that she has no shortage of money, etc., but she obviously has the ability. Even if she is given, it is not even the icing on the cake.
On the contrary, this royal award has made his reputation far and wide...
Xia Mingyue's husband, Lu Qiyan, seems to have been rising in the military, so she should have something with her.
The closer the status between this couple is, the more harmonious they are in many cases.
The more Mrs. He thought about it, the more she realized that this was the truth, and she immediately became interested and said, "Get paper and pen!"
"Yes." Gui's mother responded hurriedly. She did not leave this matter to anyone else, but went to prepare a few things herself.
Biyun and others were very happy that Mrs. He was finally willing to write a letter home in person. They were busy grinding, adding charcoal to the fire, and serving tea and water. It can be described as a great pleasure.
Seeing that everyone was so attentive, Mrs. He did not forget to defend herself, "First of all, I am doing this for Mingyue, otherwise I would not write to those brats. !”
“Yes, yes, it’s all for Lady Xia.”
Mama Gui and the others didn’t say anything, they just responded with a smile.
Here, Xia Mingyue sent out all the gifts one after another.
The academy, franchisees, and neighbors are real friends. Even Pei Chenghe and others from the county government received a lot of food.
Preserved fruits, dried meat, nuts, canned fruits, eggs, spiced dried tofu...
We have everything, covering all types, it can be said that it is extremely complete.
Moreover, there is also a casserole of pork ribs and a casserole of braised lamb.
The ribs and mutton are stewed and placed in a casserole. At this time, the meat and soup are all solidified into a ball due to the cold weather. When eating, place the casserole directly on the stove to heat it and wait until it boils. Eat the meat first, then stew some vegetables and noodles in the broth in the casserole...
I feel like I can eat ten steamed buns in one sitting!
Just thinking about it makes me want to eat it because it tastes wonderful.
Feng Maocai looked at so many delicious foods, weighing this and picking up that, a layer of mist filled his eyes, and he even couldn't help but sniff.
"Hey, hey, that's not the case." Pei Chenghe was a little disgusted, "Although Madam Xia's food is delicious, it's an honor to be able to eat so many things that are not available in the world, but at least you He is also an official of the imperial court, so no matter how happy he is, he should hold back a little."
Otherwise, it wouldn't seem like they are officials who have never seen the world, right?
Although, they have not seen much of the world...
