Old Madam Wu was stunned.
This damn old man actually asked me to take off his boots
Madam Wu put her hands on her hips and pointed at him, saying, "I think you drank too much yellow soup."
As he said this, he moved forward and smelled it, then turned around and asked the maid to bring in hot water for the master to wash.
After a while, the maid A Tao came into the room carrying hot water. After putting the kettle on the ground, she went to get the washbasin and foot basin.
After Mr. Wu washed up, he drank another cup of tea and stared at Mrs. Wu for a long time before his mind finally cleared up. "You, you are Shi'er's mother?"
Seeing his wife nod, he sat up, held up an oil lamp and looked closely at it, and asked in surprise, "How could this be? How could this be?"
Madam Wu was very proud and whispered, "Yingbao is really a fairy. With a wave of her hand, she made us all look dozens of years younger."
She rolled up her sleeves and said proudly, "Look, my hands and arms are so pink and tender, just like a teenage girl. And, I have a full mouth of teeth."
She bared her teeth to show her husband: "All I had left were my front teeth, but now they've all grown back. Haha, I'm young again."
Mr. Wu opened his mouth in shock and remained silent for a long time.
"Is what you said true?" He pinched his wife and said, "Is this not a dream?"
Mrs. Wu hit her husband and said, "Why did you pinch me? You've left red marks on my arm."
Mr. Wu looked at his wife with envy, admiring her to himself, but feeling anxious in his heart.
The old lady noticed her husband's envy and snorted, "Tomorrow you should go to the Jiang family and meet Yingbao. Oh, and by the way, give her a set of the best ruby headpiece for me."
With this reason, it won't be embarrassing for the old man to go.
Mr. Wu nodded immediately.
On the next day, just after daybreak, Mr. Wu got up and went to the storehouse with his wife to select a set of ruby and gold head ornaments. He put them in an exquisite box, thought for a while, and took out some ginseng, bird's nest and a set of four treasures of the study, preparing to give them to Yingbao's parents and her daughter Nuannuan.
After breakfast, Mr. Wu changed into a clean robe and went to the Jiang family with a thank-you gift.
As soon as I arrived at the door of Jiang's house, I saw Mr. Luo and Dalang of the Luo family also coming, as well as Mrs. Wen's husband Wen Silang.
They all had gift boxes in their hands, probably to exchange gifts.
Several people nodded and greeted each other tacitly, and walked into the gate of the Jiang family one after another.
When they saw Jiang Sanlang and his brothers and the old man of the Jiang family again, they were all surprised.
I saw that the whole family looked incredibly young, completely different from yesterday.
It turned out that Yingbao restored the youthfulness of her grandparents, parents, aunt and second aunt last night, and even her second cousin and his wife returned to their appearance when they were in their twenties.
Ying Bao and Wei Zhan were also in the hall, clasping their fists and bowing to Mr. Wu and several others.
Seeing that they were hesitant and embarrassed to speak, Yingbao already understood what they wanted to do, so she didn't refuse and directly used the Changchun Jue on them.
Among these people, there are her benefactors, Jiang Jie’s father-in-law and grandfather-in-law. She must keep them healthy.
Besides, Jiang Wu and the others are married, and I will have very few opportunities to come to the capital in the future. It would be better to do a favor for others so that my brothers can gain a firm foothold in the capital in the future.
I believe that from now on, no matter who is in the court, even if they have bad intentions, they will not dare to offend the Jiang family easily.
After a dozen breaths, Mr. Wu felt that his body was becoming more and more comfortable. The age spots on his hands gradually disappeared, turning into a fair, firm, young and healthy skin color.
Afterwards, Yingbao took out a large floor-length bronze mirror and asked several people to stand in front of it and look at themselves.
The bright bronze mirror showed every detail of the people, all of whom looked like young gentlemen.
It’s just that these gentlemen’s hair is still gray and their beards are still messy, but their figures and features are no longer old.
Mr. Luo laughed heartily, stroked his beard and admired it for a while, then bowed to Ying Bao and said, "Thank you, little fairy Ying Bao, for giving me youth."
Mr. Wu and Wen Silang also bowed to Yingbao.
After leaving Jiang's house, Mr. Wu returned home excitedly and met his son Wu Shi who was about to go out.
He now felt very disgusted when he saw his son's old look.
Humph! Previously, he asked him to go to Jiang's house with him, but he refused. He said that once he became younger, his wife would definitely go to find Yingbao, and then his wife's family would be the next, and her family and other relatives would be the next, and it would be out of control.
In the end, perhaps all the people in the capital will go looking for Yingbao. It would be fine if everyone succeeded, but if someone failed to achieve their goal, then Yingbao would become the target of public criticism.
Mr. Wu also felt that his son was right, so he did not force him.
Anyway, I have retired and don’t need to go on duty anymore. At worst, I can leave the capital and live in Dongchen Village with Yingbao.
Dongchen Village is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers. My wife and I can live there in our old age.
When Wu Shi saw his father walking into the house, he was stunned for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.
He thought, he was only in his fifties, not even sixty, so he could wait until he was seventy or eighty before asking Yingbao for favor.
As for Yingbao, after casting a spell on Mr. Wu and others, she took her grandparents, parents and others back to Dongchen Village.
She gave sweet potatoes, eggs and some crops to her uncle, asked him to sell them to the villagers, and asked Wei Zhan to teach them how to grow them.
Afterwards, she fenced off an area on her own land and built a large courtyard with three entrances.
The houses inside are made of green bricks and tiles, and there is a well and a pond.
This courtyard was left for Zhou Wuchang to live in. Of course, the money for building the house had to be paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Yingbao explained everything to her uncle and the clan leader, then sent her parents to the shrine. She returned to Zhouhe County and brought her mother-in-law and several maids with her.
When the head of the Wei family saw his daughter-in-law coming back, he ran over happily, and his eyes looked as if he had seen a pile of gold mines.
"Yingbao, I want to live in your village too."
Mrs. Wang had a small courtyard in Dongchen Village, but she did not allow her husband to live with concubines. The head of the Wei family had no choice but to ask his daughter-in-law for help.
Yingbao said that she was also in a dilemma, not for any other reason but because she was worried that the head of the Wei family would take a group of concubines to Dongchen Village and corrupt the atmosphere there.
Today, Dongchen Village is a nationally famous wealthy village. Not only are every family rich, many of them are officials, such as the Jiang family, the Wang Ke family, and the Chen Zhu family. There are also several families who are at least minor officials.
If the head of the Wei family went there and the villagers followed his example and took concubines, there would be chaos all day long.
"Dad, Yingbao has no say in this matter." Wei Zhan said, "The land in Dongchen Village is very scarce and cannot be bought with money."
Now, let alone the rich, even the emperor had to abdicate and give way to the prince, and move to Dongchen Village himself.
Once the emperor moves in, wealthy people all over the country will hear the news and move in. It is estimated that the land in the entire Chuanhe Town will be hard to come by.
The head of the Wei family looked stern and glared at his son.
He didn't know that the emperor was going to live there, but the businessman was very smart. Ever since the sacred tree appeared in Dongchen Village, he bought a large piece of land near Dongchen Village.
Although the land is close, it is five or six miles away from Dongchen Village.
There is no way, people are unwilling to sell the fields and residential land that are closer.
