It is said that it is donated to Huguo Temple for sesame oil money, but in fact it is to give the money to Huguo Temple to open a porridge shed for disaster relief. It is an alternative way to pray for the little emperor's grandson.
The emperor's heart ached and he began to plan the matter.
Liu Shangshu glanced at Li Shangshu secretly, since it was the empress's sesame oil donation, it was not the state treasury that paid for it, but the emperor himself.
The emperor obviously hadn't thought of this at this time.
And it is not so simple for the emperor and empress to travel, it is past noon now, and it is impossible to leave the palace, and tomorrow is the little emperor's grandson Xisan, so the emperor decided to discuss this matter after tomorrow.
After Man Bao and the others ate and drank at the horse farm in the western suburbs, they pooled together the money to pay for the roast deer feast, and then they rode their horses and ran home.
That's right, although Zhao Liulang hunted the deer, he still had to pay for it. After all, it was a deer raised by someone else's horse farm, right
Everyone shared the expenses equally, which is one of the reasons why Zhao Liulang slowly walked away from his former friends and liked to hang out with them.
Every time you go out, you no longer pay, or I pay, it is directly shared, no matter how much you eat or how little you eat, it is enough for each person to pay tens or hundreds of wen.
Less constraints and troubles.
A group of people were happy, they chased each other into the city gate, and after reaching the inner city, they separated and went back to their respective homes.
Bai Shan jumped off the horse and took Man Bao and Bai Er to find Mrs. Liu to discuss opening a porridge shed.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "It's hard for you to think of this. This year, the people in Gyeonggi are in trouble, so the snow didn't stop last night. I sent people to Zhuangzi to transport food early in the morning, and I should be back tomorrow at the latest Yes, when the time comes, our family will set up a porridge shed in the outer city."
Upon hearing this, Man Bao donated a cart of food instead of his family, and then looked at Bai Er.
Bai Er touched his body, took out one tael of silver that was just recovered today and gave it to her, "There are too many."
Man Bao exclaimed, "You're so cool, you can buy ten stones of millet."
Man Bao took the money, waved his hand and said, "I'll tell my father in a while, I'll weigh ten stones of millet for you."
The old man of Zhou was sitting at home, the money came from the sky, and he was very happy when he got the money. While asking his sons to weigh the millet, he said, "Manbao, this grain can't be sold randomly. Li won't have a harvest until next year, so you have to save a little, you know?"
"There is Lumi every month," Man Bao asked Zhou Zhoulang to move more, and told her father, "Our family also provides ten stones of grain, and we will open a porridge shed together with Bai Shan and the others."
Old Zhou opened his mouth wide and asked, "Why?"
After thinking for a while, Man Bao said: "For me to be an official in the future, it will be smoother and I can earn more salary and rewards."
The old Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "I see. If the village chief wants his son to be the village chief, let his son run around in various villages and do some good deeds to accumulate a good reputation."
Man Bao was taken aback, "It's true, but the village chief wants to give up the position to Da Ya and her father-in-law?"
"That's what the head of the village said before I left. He said that the position would be passed on to his boss in three or two years."
Although it seems to be closer to the father-in-law, the old Zhou is still more used to the old head.
Since the food was for Man Bao's promotion in the future, Old Zhou turned a blind eye and let them move it.
It's just that after the move, I still feel heartbroken. I feel that the price of being an official is indeed a lot. Not only can my daughter only go home once every seven or eight days, but she also has to pay for food.
Seeing that the old man agreed, Man Bao felt relieved to leave the matter to Mrs. Liu, and then turned around and went shopping to buy a longevity lock.
Even Bai Shan bought a piece of it, "At any rate, I saw the birth of the little emperor's grandson, so I have to buy one for him anyway."
The two of them couldn't give too big or too special gifts, so they closed their longevity locks and went home.
Entering the palace the next day, both Man Bao and Bai Shan were invited to watch the ceremony.
Little Huangsun Xisan, the mother of the Crown Princess and several sister-in-laws all came into the palace, and the emperor and empress came to see it in person. This was the first time in the emperor's grandson.
Before Prince Gong's eldest son was born, the emperor was not able to go out of the palace to see the child. He didn't see the child until the child was full moon.
As soon as Man Bao and Bai Shan entered the door, they saw so many people in the uterus, and they were all big bosses, so they stood silently aside.
Everyone surrounded the children, and no one noticed them coming.
When the auspicious time came, one of the two women held the child, and the other brought up a basin of clear water. After they prayed, they quickly tore off the swaddling clothes, and held the child to let the child's feet touch the already slightly cold water. , the child immediately cried as soon as it was exposed to the air...
Because they had received a generous gift from the princess in advance, the women quickly poured water on the little emperor's grandson, said auspicious words quickly, and wrapped the child in swaddling clothes.
Don't look at the amount of water that the mothers-in-law recruited, but not much fell on the child, and the speed was so fast that it was over before everyone recovered, but the child cried loudly, with eyes closed and tears dripping Big drops fell.
Man Bao frowned when he heard this, and said softly to Bai Shan: "I really don't know why clean water is necessary for the third bath. I heard that outside, rich and noble families still throw all kinds of things into the basin. It's just that the rules in the palace are not good. Throw something into the basin, otherwise the dirty things will be on those things, and if they come into contact with the child, the child will easily get sick."
Bai Shan: "I did the same thing when I was young."
"You only knew it in three days?"
"My mother and grandmother told me." Bai Shan glanced at her, "But I remembered that people in your family and our village rarely wash three."
"Who said that, we wash it ourselves at home, hehehe, the hot water we use can be used as a bath for children," Man Bao said: "My mother said, my uncle, aunt, and the others have to go to wash it three times. , It’s too troublesome, and I have to give gifts to Mrs. Wen, which is not worth it, so I washed it with a pot of hot water at home.”
Zhao Liulang, who was squeezed beside them, turned his head and glanced at them, and said in a low voice, "Can your house be called Xisan?"
Man Bao was startled, looked up and saw him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Liulang said angrily: "How rare, this is my cousin's eldest son, my parents are here, what's wrong with me giving gifts? It's you, why are you here?"
Man Bao said: "How rare, the child was delivered by me, I came to see the child, what's wrong with giving a gift along the way?"
Zhao Liulang looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan smiled and said, "I also witnessed the birth of the little emperor's grandson, so Your Highness invited me to watch the ceremony."
While they were talking, the nanny had already coaxed the child, and then everyone began to praise the child. What a loud voice, it sounds like he is healthy and smart.
It is understandable that crying is associated with physical health, but why can it be associated with cleverness
