Chapter 83 Matchmaking
Jia Family Ancestral Hall.
Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, who had not slept all night, could not help but feel eagerness on their faces as they watched the sun rise higher and higher.
I don’t know if my daughter and sister-in-law have met at this moment.
There is a love for each other when we meet.
My sister-in-law used to like her daughter so much. When she sees her... she will be a little touched, right?
If the sister-in-law is indifferent, the daughter will use their second plan to make some noise and make her have to admit it, right?
Squeak~
The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, but it was Jia Rong who came in with a food box, "Two uncles, uncles, uncles..." He gave it first Jia She and the others saluted, and then took out the four pieces of Yikusi sweet rice in the food box, "This is what my father told me before he left. If it doesn't work, I will change it..."
"No need!"
Jia She calmly took a bowl of black and green porridge of unknown origin, and then touched something equally black but smaller that looked like a pancake, "This is our unanimous decision yesterday. This is where we eat in the ancestral hall.”
Jia Rong: “…”
If he hadn’t taken the smallest wheat bran wild vegetable cake, he would have believed this uncle.
"What are you doing standing still? Eat quickly!"
Jia She looked at the second brother's family of three, "Second brother, Zhu'er, you come first."
Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu silently took one each.
But Jia Zhu first gave his share to his mother Wang, "Brother Rong, why didn't you go to school today?"
Although it was painful all night, facing Jia Rong's At this time, Jia Zhu still cheered up.
"Don't worry!"
Jia Rong sat down on the futon, "Grandma and father have entered the palace. I want to wait for them at home, go to school..., I I can’t study well either.”
He listened to the corner last night, but unfortunately there was no movement at all for a long time. He was so sleepy that he staggered around and was forced to go back to sleep by the boy.
Jia Rong was a little regretful, "Grandma has just finished confinement, and her body has not recovered yet."
But in order to show respect for the royal family and express the gratitude of the family, she only Can go there early.
"She didn't sleep well last night."
He glanced at Mrs. Wang with an accusing look, "Uncle, don't do it as soon as you think about it in the future. Come on, if anything happens, you can discuss it with your two uncles."
Wang: "..."
Jia Zheng: "..."
Two. Everyone's face turned a little red.
The Wang family who was mentioned made the half-year-old child speechless, and the same was true for Jia Zheng who was not mentioned.
What image do they have in this child’s mind?
"Cough~"
Jia Zhu also wanted to cover her face. Brother Rong included Baoyu in it, acting as if his parents were not as smart as a child of a few years old. "This porridge is good, mother. Drink."
As he spoke, he took a big sip.
However, as soon as he took the drink into his mouth, Jia Zhu’s face wrinkled.
It’s bitter, astringent and a little sour. Will it cause diarrhea after eating this?
He swallowed it with force, but he was afraid that he would vomit, so he took another bite of the cake and wanted to press it down.
Gu~
The pancake was a bit sour and it made his throat irritate, but with Brother Rong looking at him, he could only swallow it.
Seeing that he really ate it, Jia Rong sighed in his heart.
As expected, Uncle Zhu is just an ordinary person, neither stupid nor smart.
If it were Uncle Lian, he might have to bump his shoulder, hug him, and discuss with him if these are not enough, and whether he can have some good food mixed with it. Although it is difficult, as long as he can eat this meal of remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness. It's over, Jia Rong thinks it's still okay.
But Uncle Zhu said nothing.
It’s so hard to eat.
Oh, Jia Rong knew how unpalatable the Yikusi sweet rice was that he and the boy had been busy making for a long time.
“Cough~cough~~”
Jia Zhu’s stomach was resisting, with all her body.
He covered his mouth and coughed awkwardly.
Wang hurriedly went over and gave him a slap on the back.
“Eat!”
Seeing that Jia Zheng didn’t dare to move, Jia She pretended to be calm and took a sip of porridge and another bite of pancake, “This is at least hot. Master and the others, It’s not as good as it is today.”
Jia Zheng: "..."
With a junior like Jia Rong here, it is not easy for him to choke with his elder brother.
"Eat them all, and you'll be fine if you eat slowly."
Jia She was so happy. He had one share of hardship, and his second brother's family had three share of hardship.
As long as they can eat these three kinds of bitterness, then all their bitterness will be sweet.
Jia Zhu coughed for a long time. Seeing that his uncle was eating so calmly, he naturally did not dare to neglect, "Mom, I'm fine, you can eat too!"
Although he really wanted to They endured this hardship for their mother, but they were able to endure this hardship all because of their mother.
And if you eat your mother’s, do you want to eat your father’s?
Father has eaten all his food, and his uncle cannot ignore it.
Jia Zhu didn’t have such a big belly, nor was he that capable. He lowered his head and ate his sweet rice with tears in his eyes.
At this moment, he also realized that Jia Rong, who had not left, was supervising them.
This meal may even be his special addition.
Just like he was born to protect his parents, Brother Rong was also born to protect his aunt.
He was resenting their family.
I resent them for posing problems to my eldest uncle on the day when my little sister is one month old and everyone is too tired, which makes her angry.
But... filial piety comes first among all good deeds, and filial piety is greater than God!
Jia Zhu felt bitter in her heart.
My parents are wholeheartedly doing good for them and the family. Although the method and process are wrong, Yuanchun...
After eating the rice of remembering the hardships and thinking of the sweets, he finally followed his parents. As if, I hope the auntie can help her after seeing sister Yuanchun.
Even if you don't push the emperor and ask the queen to take care of her, sister Yuanchun's life will be easier.
"Okay, after we finish eating, we will call the slaves to collect it."
Jia She saw that Wang was also starting to eat the meal, and said to his nephew with satisfaction: "Go to Xifu and help us see the old lady. , If you need help, please help me.”
“…Yes!”
Jia Rong responded very obediently in front of Jia She, and when she retreated, she felt sad. Very satisfied.
......
Kunning Palace, the queen finally sent away a few concubines to pay their respects. After washing herself again, she ordered her grandma to greet Shen Ning who was waiting in the side hall.
"I am the Shen family, and I would like to pay my respects to the Queen! A thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"Please get up quickly!"
The Queen's voice was very gentle, " Please sit down!”
“Thank you, Queen!”
Shen Ning did not get up immediately, but kowtowed again and said: "My life was hanging by a thread that day. Thank you to the Queen for giving me a medical girl to save our mother's life."
"Madam, you are too polite. "
The queen personally stood up and helped her, "Actually, it was not me or the medical woman who saved you, but you yourself." She smiled and said, "Did Madam forget to spread money everywhere? When Xiao Yueyue accumulates good fortune."
"..."
Shen Ning was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "This way, I should thank the Queen even more, Queen. The empress bestowed blessings on my family.”
“Haha~”
The queen was amused by her, so she simply didn’t sit on the main seat and sat on a seat not far from her. , "Then I admit it shamelessly," there are not many people in this palace who can make her feel relaxed. But Mrs. Shen is an exception.
After making sure that she and the emperor would have nothing to worry about this year and next, she started to like her a little bit.
“I heard the doctor girl come back and said that little Yueyue looks very good, and I am relieved.”
The queen said: "Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry to thank me. You should rest at home." She asked someone to wait early in the morning, but she just guessed that the Jia family would be anxious. "I'll take a good rest for a month and ask the imperial doctor to take care of me." That’s it.”
“Yes!” Shen Ning nodded, “Thank you for your concern, I’m sorry.”
“There are no outsiders here, so I’ll just tell you something. I hope Mrs. Shen won't be offended."
"...You said it."
Shen Ning didn't expect that the queen would be such a straightforward person.
It doesn’t seem to match the rumors.
“I am actually asking this question on behalf of the Emperor.”
Your Majesty?
Shen Ning was about to stand up and salute, but was stopped by the queen, "You're too polite, it's just raw material." She smiled and said: "Sir Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt patrol in the south of the Yangtze River, has experimented with the salt production plan given by his wife. A batch of time-saving and labor-saving high-grade salt came out. The emperor asked me to ask my wife, is the note you mentioned in the letter really gone?"
"It's gone."
Shen Ning shook his head, "After my husband and I took refuge in a Taoist temple, he gradually became fascinated by the various elixirs and exercises in Taoist legends, and he has been making great efforts to collect them. In the past few years, as long as he has seen them, he has never seen them. I never let it go, and occasionally I would go to the used book market to look for it.
In the beginning, I also helped sort it out. To put it bluntly, this method of making salt is related to the Taoist purification of certain mineral materials. In the chapter, for some reason, the topic of salt comes from mineral materials. The unknown Taoist must have lived by the sea and knew some salt treatment techniques, and then helped to improve it.
It’s just that his improved method did not work. After word spread, I looked at it and then put it down. It was very cold that winter, and then the house where he lived caught fire... Although a lot of things were rescued, the note was gone."
“...That’s it!”
Such a big credit was not given to Jia Jing.
The queen was impressed, "Fortunately, Mrs. Shen remembered it."
"There are many strange people among the people."
Shen Ning never thought of giving this credit to her own family On the body.
After all, they don’t have that condition.
As for Jia Jing, it’s better to just be a Taoist who doesn’t stand out.
Shen Ning said: "Some things that we can't understand have probably been solved by some people unintentionally, but they don't know how precious they are, so they keep wasting them."
It's like modern times. How many things have been solved through the industrial survey?
Shen Ning said sincerely: "It was just a coincidence. I thought my brother-in-law was in charge of salt, so I wrote to him to make a proposal. It is a blessing to the emperor and empress that it can succeed. Mr. Lin is attentive."< br>
“…”
The queen clapped her hand, “Fortunately, you can think of it again.”
Although salt is inconspicuous, it is important. It’s about people’s livelihood.
One or two pennies is inconspicuous, but one or two pennies for thousands of families is different.
Not to mention, who doesn’t buy several kilograms of salt a year?
These few kilograms saved are not pennies or two pennies.
"No matter what, the emperor asked me to say thank you to you."
"Don't dare!"
Shen Ning stood up and bowed.
"The emperor said, if there is any difficulty, just come through."
When she said this, the queen's heart was beating, but the emperor said, Mrs. Shen is a smart person and can't Bring up things that are difficult for them.
But this is the emperor’s promise!
No one can waste it at will!
"..."
Shen Ning was silent for a moment, then prostrated on the spot, "There is indeed something going on at home, and I would like to ask the Queen for help."
Queen: "..."
Her heart suddenly relaxed, asking her for help, not just asking the emperor for help.
Jia Jing's matter is incomprehensible to the Supreme Emperor.
The emperor has no choice but to ask for it.
“Say.”
The queen vaguely guessed what she wanted to mention.
Sure enough...
"My niece Yuanchun is getting older, and my aunt at home is anxious. Please ask the queen to let her out of the palace!"
"Please get up quickly!"
It is indeed not a problem for Yuanchun to be in the palace.
She is too involved with Concubine Zhen.
But she is from Rongguo Mansion.
The emperor has been hesitant recently. It is not difficult to accept her. If he really accepts her, at least on the surface, the Jia family will be considered a member of this side.
But in the future... it's hard to say.
In particular, Mrs. Shen is not at peace with the Wang family of Rongguo Mansion.
Accepting Yuanchun is not good for Mrs. Shen.
The emperor felt that Mrs. Shen and Ning Guofu were favoring him and did not want to give them any blow.
"It just so happens that the Emperor Wanshou will be here in a few days, and a group of maids will be released from the palace. Yuanchun... I will be recorded in the list."
"Thank you, Queen!"< br>
Shen Ning is grateful!
The queen felt relaxed and motioned for her to sit down and talk, "Yuan Chun is leaving the palace to get married, right? Is there a suitable candidate?"
"Not yet."
< br>
Shen Ning smiled, "Do you have any suggestions, the Queen?"
"Is this..." The Queen's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and smiled: "Don't tell me, I really thought of one, but I don't know Mrs. Shen. Maybe I can make the decision.”
“As long as the child is a good child, has never been married, and knows how to make progress, I can make the decision.”
In this case, the Queen will not give it to anyone who is too bad. .
In this era, it is definitely impossible for a family like the Jia family to stay unmarried.
But no matter how bad it is, it is still better than Yuanchun in the palace.
Shen Ning believes in Yuanchun, even if she encounters a Zhongshan wolf, she will still be the one to train the wolf. She couldn't be trained well. There were so many brothers and nephews in the family, so they just happened to be escorted over to help her train her in turn.
While training the wolf and standing up for the sisters, you may also be able to develop a little bit of blood and stand up for yourself.
Shen Ning couldn't help but look forward to this candidate.
"Princess Baofeng's legitimate son Xinping Hou Chengluo." The queen sighed and said: "He is a hard-luck child. First his grandfather died, and then both Xinping Hou and Princess Baofeng died of illness. Now he is twenty Two years old, not yet married.”
Shen Ning quickly searched for Marquis Xinping in his mind.
I seem to have some impression, but I can’t find anything specific at the moment.
"Princess Baofeng..."
She suddenly thought of Princess Baofeng.
It seems that someone heard gossip that he died together with Marquis Xinping.
Xinping Hou Cheng Feng was once a powerful general under the Prince of Nan'an County. When Princess Baofeng got married, she was given the title of Xinping Hou. However, he always had his favorite Qingmei cousin, who gave birth to his child. Two sons.
Marquis Xinping wanted to pass on the title to his son over there, and when he was honoring his father's filial piety, he let his mother and Qingmei plan for his illness, and then frightened the horse, and the legitimate son faded out of the world's sight.
Could it be that...
"Princess Baofeng died very pitifully."
The queen looked at her look and sighed again, "Although Marquis Xinping has gone, But their family is still a little complicated, but I believe that Yuanchun can help Xinpinghou take care of the house. "
