Chapter 58 The first step in rebuilding the character

"You hide in the room and go take a look for your mother."

Listening to the noise coming from the direction of the house, Eugene Hua's expression changed. Instinct timidity first flashed across his weak face, and then was replaced by perseverance.

Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong.

"Mom, I'll go with you!" Zhao Pan was anxious.

It hadn't been long since Zhang Changji led someone to break into the house. How could she feel at ease and let her mother go out alone while she hid behind?
After saying that, Zhao Pan couldn't help but say something. He didn't even have time to put on his small clothes carefully and hurriedly put on his top and skirt.

He took out the exquisite dagger from under the quilt, took his mother's hand, and ran out the door.

However, when the mother and daughter came to the front yard, they couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw the Zhao family's maids, women, servants and porters all crowding in front, talking incessantly, as if something big had happened.

"Madam is here!" someone shouted.

Suddenly, from behind the crowd, the old steward of the Zhao family ran over, with a smile on his face: "Madam, Miss, it's a good thing, a great thing..."

The mother and daughter were confused and asked hurriedly.

The old steward said excitedly:

"At the door is a heavenly official from the palace. He said that our husband solved some case and made meritorious service, and the saint gave him a reward."

Merit?

Reward from the palace?
Eugene Hua and her daughter were once again stunned by the news and looked at each other.

Although Zhao Duan was the subject of a rumored scandal, this was the first time for him to receive such a serious reward.

At this time, a white-faced eunuch with no beard walked over holding a fly whisk.

There were palace guards behind him, who seemed to be unloading a truck and carrying something to the house.

"Eugene Flower, the daughter of the common people, pays her respects to the Heavenly Official!"

Eugene was so excited that he knelt down, holding his daughter with his delicate hands, hinting her to imitate him.

Although she also comes from a scholarly family, she has suffered from the warmth and indifference of human beings and does not dare to offend the heavenly officials at all.

"Yeah, I don't dare, I don't dare..."

The eunuch hurriedly supported him with both hands, not letting him bow down, and said with a smile:

"But your Majesty, your Majesty, Zhao? Don't try to break this servant."

Zhao Duan has become quite popular with the Empress recently. This is not a secret in the palace, so how dare he offend him?

Eugene Hua became more and more confused. Who among the people in the palace didn't have their eyes high above their heads and be majestic?
The eunuch in front of her smiled so much that she panicked.

"Dare I ask Heavenly Official, what happened?" Zhao Pan asked calmly.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and young girls lack reverence for authority.

The eunuch flicked his whisk and said with a smile:

"Is this Miss Zhao's family? She is indeed a beauty..."

He was used to giving a few compliments, and then he told the details.

After learning that Zhao Duan arrested two brothers of the Zhang family yesterday and teamed up with Zhaoya to solve an important case.

Mother and daughter were stunned again.

Dalang...he didn't come home all night last night, and he actually did such a big thing?

Eugene Hua's heart was beating wildly. She was worried about her stepson, but also accompanied by the joy of Yourong Yan.

Zhao Pan's focus fell on the Zhang brothers.

That dude who forced his way into the house with the intention of insulting his mother and himself was sent to prison?

And the entire family behind it?

Facing beheading?

The dagger in Zhao Pan's sleeve fell to the ground with a clang, and she felt a dark cloud in her heart dissipate - she had been secretly worried that Zhang Changji would make a comeback.

"Ah this..."

Everyone around looked at the sharp dagger on the ground, and there was silence.

"Haha," the eunuch took the lead to break the embarrassment: "As expected of a martial arts family, Zhao Shijun is brave and brave, and his sister is also a heroine."

Wu Xun Family... Everyone in the Zhao family was so embarrassed by the praise that they almost broke out of their three bedrooms and one living room in embarrassment.

Fortunately, the eunuch was thoughtful and immediately waved his hand to order people to move in the pieces of silk and satin:

"Your Majesty, in order to commend the envoy, has given you two hundred pieces of Shu Brocade as a tribute."

There was no "Sichuan land" in the Yu Dynasty, but there was Shu county. The silk and satin produced in it were fine in weaving, beautiful in texture, and rich in variety.

It is the first of the four great embroideries in the world, and most of its annual output is absorbed by the royal family. A small amount of it flows into the private sector and is extremely expensive.

Eugene Hua was lucky enough to see a noble lady wearing Shu brocade clothes, but she never dared to hope that she could own them.

But at this moment, there are actually two hundred pieces of such good material... Eugene Hua couldn't move his eyes away as he looked at the exquisite silk and satin being delivered one by one.

Zhao Pan was not much better than his mother. His autumn-like eyes were glued to his head, unable to move.

He didn't even pay attention to when the group of heavenly officials said goodbye and left.

"Mom, don't look at it. We can't use it left or right."

Zhao Pan watched the last batch of Shu brocade being delivered into the room and said calmly.

Eugene Flower also woke up from her joy, her beautiful eyes darkened.

That's right, Zhao Duan didn't even want to provide enough money for the family, so these good materials were destined to miss them.

Hearing this, he forced a smile and said: "It's from the family after all. I will have no shortage of materials to dress your eldest brother from now on."

All good things from the Zhao family are first provided to Zhao Duan. This is an unwritten family rule.

The servants knew this well and sympathized with their mistress, and immediately went about their business in silence, while the joyful atmosphere in the air gradually dissipated.

"Mr. Lang is back!" the concierge suddenly shouted.

Then, Zhao Duan was seen walking in the door alone, looking around at everyone, frowning and saying: "What are you doing standing here? Is lunch ready?"

Inner hall.

The three members of the Zhao family were sitting at a round table eating.

Since that day, Zhao Duan ordered mother and daughter to eat together. Whenever he was at home, they would eat together.

There are six dishes and one soup on the table, all vegetarian.

"No meat?" Zhao Duan pinched his chopsticks and frowned.

Eugene Hua carefully explained:
"At home, the accountant has only a few cents left to buy groceries, and we really can't make money for meat."

The plump and beautiful woman's voice became lower and lower, and panic appeared in her eyes, fearing that Zhao Duan would hit someone again.

"That's it." The expected rage did not come, Zhao Duan looked calm, reached out and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, and pushed it to his stepmother:

"I've been busy these days and forgot. Take these."

A full thousand taels of silver notes.

Eugene was stunned, staring blankly at the large amount of money in front of him.

Since her birth, she has never controlled such a huge sum of money.

"We can't use these for household use..." Eugene Hua was sure that her stepson had taken the wrong ones and hurriedly pushed them back.

Zhao Duan took a mouthful of white rice and said: "I can't remember the chores at home. It's too troublesome to pay for them every month. I put these in your hands and use them for food and drink at home. You don't have to report them to me in the future. I'm too lazy to listen." ”

Give it all to me... There is no need to report the details of the expenses... Eugene Hua suspected that she had heard wrong.

Are you giving away all your household expenses for the next fifty years in one go? Zhao Pan also looked over suspiciously.

And Zhao Duan's next words once again severely impacted the old impressions of mother and daughter.

"I will inevitably receive friends at home in the future. The clothes you wear are too shabby, which is embarrassing to me. You can choose some of the silks and satins given by the palace today and make at least five sets of new clothes each. The money for the clothes will be taken from the accounting room. Did you hear that clearly?"

Zhao Duan said while eating.

Noticing that there was no response for a long time, he couldn't help but look at the two of them in confusion.

I saw the mother and daughter holding bowls, the chopsticks in their hands frozen in the air, already stunned.

Five sets of new clothes per person... Thousands of taels of household money...

The Shu brocade rewarded by the palace was actually for them...

"Is there a problem?" Zhao Duan frowned.

The plump and beautiful stepmother tilted her head to one side, revealing her long and white gooseneck. Eugene Hua wiped his eyes quickly and seemed to be crying.

Although he is still thin, his appearance is like a hibiscus in clear water. Zhao Pan's eyes are full of disbelief:

This wolf has changed his gender?
