Yuan Qiluo didn't have much, just called her buddy to give Liu Qiqiao what she wanted. She stood and watched, but Shen Xiurong was a little strange, watching Liu Qiqiao excitedly pick it up there, listening to her facing the buddy. Said: "This, and that, I need one for each color of this socks, that's enough, and this hat..."
"Don't you think it is strange?" Shen Xiurong said, she pointed at Liu Qiqiao and looked at Yuan Qiluo.
Yuan Qiluo smiled and said: "What's wrong? Why is it strange?"
Shen Xiurong frowned, "I didn't see how Qiqiao and Aunt Zhou are good? Now, she always feels very strange to pick things for her children so enthusiastically!"
Yuan Qiluo thought about it in silence, and after half a day, she said: "It's because of the child she lost. Let's not persuade her. Let the flow take its course. After a long time, I'm afraid she will forget it slowly, of course. The best thing is that she can get another one as soon as possible!"
Shen Xiurong nodded fiercely and said, "Yes, my grandmother, my eldest brother, and my mother are all looking forward to her being pregnant with another one. This miscarriage shocked everyone. No one knows. I was pregnant. Hey, my grandma was so anxious that she almost fainted, let alone my eldest brother. I saw him look unhappy for a while. When Qiqiao was ill, he came out and got a pale face. , As if he was sick."
Yuan Qiluo didn't dare to say that she remembered how Shen Yunong cried when she was hugging herself, a big man, a man who had been in the wind and rain since he was a child, at that moment, she was really like a helpless child. Yuan Qiluo is different from Shen Xiurong. She knows the secret. She knows that Liu Qiqiao can no longer bear and raise her own children.
Therefore, she let Liu Qiqiao fall into that child’s dream, let her choose at will, and let her put all the enthusiasm and energy on that little tiger’s head. Yuan Qiluo could not show any strangeness at all, as long as Liu Qiqiao is happy, so just let her go. If she knows that she can no longer take care of her own children in this life... Yuan Qiluo didn't dare to think about it. She smiled, so clean and pure in her smile, "Enough of these, I will come again in the future!"
Shen Xiurong disagreed on one side, "It's not her own child, why are you so enthusiastic? That Aunt Zhou is so narrow-minded, she won't be grateful, maybe she will be suspicious no matter how much you pick!"
Liu Qiqiao smiled, she didn't think about those things, she just liked these things, and even thought about the cute look of the fat little tiger's head wearing these, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Yuan Qiluo asked her to send all the things Liu Qiqiao had picked to the carriage.
Then, Yuan Qiluo hugged Liu Qiqiao and dragged Shen Xiurong and said, "It’s hard to come by. Let’s go to Pinxiangju at noon. We have eaten enough for the dishes of Pinxiangju. The chef that Pinxiangju invited from the south just now Listening to the story told by the shopkeeper Yin, are you all yearning for the flavors of the south? Let's go to eat at noon today!"
Shen Xiurong hurriedly yelled: "Okay, okay, just us? Do you want me to ask my elder brother and shopkeeper Yin to come together!"
Liu Qiqiao also nodded: "This is fine too!"
However, Yuan Qiluo hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, they come, we are uncomfortable, we should eat alone!"
Both Shen Xiurong and Liu Qiqiao laughed ambiguously, Yuan Qiluo pulled them up and said, "Let's go, I am the host, can't you decide who I want to invite?"
The three of them went downstairs while talking and laughing.
They had a lunch of north and south dishes at Pinxiangju. When they got down from the stairs, Liu Qiqiao and Shen Xiurong went directly to the carriage and went back to Shen Mansion. Yuan Qiluo stood by the carriage and waited to see them off.
At this moment, a few beggars suddenly came, surrounded by the carriage, and shouted: "Miss ladies, let's enjoy a meal, we are hungry!"
Yuan Qiluo was busy asking Liu Qiqiao and Shen Xiurong to get into the car. She turned around and took out some scattered copper plates from her pockets, "Don’t make trouble, I have some copper plates here. You can take them to buy food, and at night There will be porridge in both Yunshang Fang and Yuluo Fang of the Shen family. You can go there!"
As soon as she unfolded her white hands, the few beggars rushed over, and a few people rushed to make a ball. Yuan Qiluo sighed and said to the coachman: "Let's go!"
Ah Cheng sat on the side of the cowl, and the coachman swung his whip and shouted "Drive!"
When the carriage left, Liu Qiqiao and Shen Xiurong unveiled the curtains, and said goodbye to Yuan Qiluo. Seeing Yuan Qiluo standing there, waving at them, and behind her, a few beggars rushed to make a ball. Both Liu Qiqiao and Shen Xiurong felt this scene. There is a bit of disharmony weird.
In the palace, before the emperor’s couch, several officials were talking about the refugees who appeared in the capital.
"The old minister asked someone to investigate the origins of these beggars and found that they were all from a certain place in Yunnan!" said a minister.
The emperor leaned on the couch. Since the emperor was ill, the dynasty hasn’t been reigned for a few years. Every day the minister’s memorials are piled up at the Ministry of Science and Technology, and then read by the scholars in front of the palace and sent to the most important ones. In front of the emperor, the emperor will summon the ministers who are on the show.
What I asked the emperor to order today was about these beggars in the capital.
The emperor was trapped in the palace every day and didn’t know what was going on outside the palace, but Princess Chun personally reported to the emperor two days ago that people of unknown origin appeared in the city, mostly beggars, and there were also a group of people like refugees, which was very suspicious. , Therefore, the emperor must intervene.
"They don't have to ask for food this far. What's the matter?" The emperor put down the memorial and coughed twice. On the other hand, a court lady handed it over with tea. After the emperor took a sip, the cough was a little worse. He waved his hand, and the maid backed back holding the tea bowl, hiding behind the bed.
Another minister in the hall said: "Not only that, the south has been a little bit uneven recently. Those barbarians seem to be very violent recently, I don't know why, they haven't committed any more crimes in these years!
The emperor nodded: "Originally they were under Anjia's rule. Later, I sent someone to watch them. In the past two years, nothing happened. Why is there a sudden upset now..." He turned his head and looked at the bedside. , There stood the son he had just found, the twelve princes.
The two ministers discovered this scene when they came in just now, and they have been secretly watching the twelve princes for a long time.
Just looking at the looks, the child was born very well. Although the appearance between the eyebrows is the looks of the Ling family, but in terms of temperament, there is a completely different feeling.
The original An Jieyu was the number one beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, and the royal family Ling was all handsome people. From the emperor to the princes, the Princess Chun was also extremely beautiful.
Therefore, the twelve princes have gathered all the demeanor.
After the two ministers looked at them, they both said in their hearts that it turned out that this was the twelve prince, and it was really different.
The reason why the emperor looked at Lin Pingmo was because the Yunnan Miaojiang area was originally under the jurisdiction of the family to appease.
Suddenly starting from the south, the emperor had to wonder if he settled down and was doing something
The twelve princes lowered their eyebrows and did not respond to the emperor. The emperor turned around and said to the two ministers: "In the capital, these refugees, especially those beggars, should be calmed and settled. Since they are a bit strange, we should pay more attention to them. Cause panic among the people, and don’t deliberately arrest and cause dissatisfaction. Ask the guards of the four cities to step up prevention. If possible, send more officials to register these refugees and beggars for management. It is best to do some practical things, such as housing them. Place, and distribute food to them!"
The two ministers nodded: "What the emperor said is that the ministers will go and make arrangements. When it comes to comfort, there are private merchants who build porridge sheds and give them porridge every day!"
"Hey, there is still such a thing? Which merchants did it in our heads, they are really virtuous and good people, and I will give them a reward!" The emperor is overjoyed, and someone can think of it before him, And to share the worries for him, this really relieved him.
The minister continued: "Speaking of which, this is the first one and the leader is the Shen family. Their family is now in charge of the overall situation, Shen Yunong, this person, speaking of it, is really good!"
The emperor was startled, then looked at Lin Pingmo next to him, "Shen Yunong, Mo Er, you said, you've been in their store before, haven't you?"
Lin Pingmo nodded and said yes.
The emperor nodded in satisfaction and smiled: "This person is really good, well, I want to reward him personally. I am the prince's lifesaver. Now he has become a model of a merchant. This must be rewarded!"
In this way, the next day, a plaque "House of First Goodness" gifted by the emperor was sent to the gate of Shen's house.
Accompanied by the guard of honour in the palace, blowing and beating, and the eunuch who accompanied him personally came to read the imperial decree.
It was all words of appreciation. Shen Yunong took the lead and knelt in front of the mansion gate, took the imperial decree with his own hands, and asked someone to hang the plaque on the gate.
This is the supreme glory. After the eunuch who issued the decree left, the Shen family gathered around, and Mrs. Shen had tears in her eyes, watching her grandson put the decree in the service hall, together with the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors. Confessed.
Before being ransacked, who would have thought that the Shen family could turn over, and not only turned it over, but also turned it so beautifully.
After noon, someone from the palace came over. They were two grandma and some maids. The two grandma briefly talked to Liu Qiqiao about the etiquette in the palace and some matters needing attention, and then guided her to walk. , The rules of sitting and lying.
Liu Qiqiao took it down seriously. In fact, she had been in the palace before, and she still had some memories. Mrs. Shen was not relieved, and sent Mother Zhou to see and told something.
The mother who came over said that she could bring one or two female relatives with her. Princess Chun said, lest Liu Qiqiao go by herself and feel uncomfortable.
Shen Xiurong happened to be watching the excitement here, and Liu Qiqiao looked at her, "Xiu Rong, would you like to go into the palace with me?"
Of course, Shen Xiurong couldn't ask for it. She nodded her head in a hurry, and after the mother's approval, the two each brought a maid. It was naturally Lan Xiang that followed Liu Qiqiao, and Shen Xiurong brought her own maid, Auspicious.
