Seeing this, Miao Miao quickly smoothed things over, "Come on, Mrs. County Magistrate, the women here offer you a toast. You are not feeling well. You can replace wine with tea." She regretted coming with Zhu Xiulan, what a fool , doesn't she know that even her husband doesn't dare to offend the county magistrate casually? Where does she have the face to offend the county magistrate's wife, isn't she afraid that the county magistrate's wife will blow the pillow
In the future, I have to stay away from Zhu Xiulan, and I can't get so close to her, lest she hurt her.
Li Qingling glanced at Miao Miao, picked up the teacup and said thank you with a smile.
Cui Cuicui glanced at Li Qingling secretly, feeling a faint suspicion in her heart.
Li Qingling is probably...pregnant.
She lowered her eyelids to hide the gloom that flashed in her eyes.
Li Qingling didn't notice Cui Cuicui's expression, she was dealing with the people who came to toast her.
Fortunately, Hu Juanjuan was helping her to block it, otherwise, she really couldn't handle it by herself.
Halfway through the meal, a sharp voice was heard, the imperial decree arrived, and Mrs. Liu and Li accepted it.
Hearing this voice, everyone froze for a moment, imperial decree
Liu Zhimo's reaction was quick, he stood up and looked for Li Qingling.
"Madam, the imperial edict is here, go and receive the imperial edict." Liu Zhimo walked to Li Qingling and helped her stand up. He looked around at the female relatives present, "Ladies, please come out to receive the imperial edict."
The imperial decree states that those present must kneel down and worship.
Liu Zhimo followed Mr. Luo with Li Qingling, and walked to the gate. Except for Mr. Luo, everyone present knelt down.
"By heaven, the emperor's edict said..." The father-in-law read out a series of rewards in his sharp voice, and when he finished, he delivered the imperial edict to Li Qingling with a pleasant expression.
Li Qingling took it with both hands, thanked Lord Long En, and only slowly stood up when she saw Liu Zhimo standing up.
Mr. Luo invited his father-in-law to sit down for a while, and then leave after having a meal.
The father-in-law was also polite, and followed Mr. Luo into the room.
Li Qingling directed the guards to move the things to the warehouse.
This matter made Zhu Xiulan dare not talk nonsense anymore. She never expected that the emperor would value Li Qingling so much. The emperor was so far away that he even sent someone to give gifts.
That also showed that the emperor valued Liu Zhimo's family very much, even if she was given the courage, she would not dare to go against the emperor.
She glanced at Li Qingling with a complicated expression, lowered her head and ate without knowing what to eat.
"The emperor really values the magistrate's wife, so he specially gave her a gift on her birthday." Cui Cuicui looked at Li Qingling and said with a smile.
Li Qingling glanced at Cui Cuicui with a smile, shook her head and said: "Mrs. Cui is joking, why would the emperor value me? What the emperor values is my lord, and I have entrusted my lord's blessing." In fact, she did not expect that the emperor would be with her On her birthday, sending someone to give her a gift really surprised her.
It seems that Liu Zhimo has some weight in the emperor's heart, which is why the emperor cares about their family.
Hearing this, Cui Cuicui grabbed the handkerchief vigorously, wishing to tear the happy smile on Li Qingling's face, she was no worse than Li Qingling, why couldn't she meet a man as good as Liu Zhimo
The more she thought about He Dianshi, who was about to stay in the cell for three years, the more she became annoyed.
Li Qingling had no time to talk to Cui Cuicui, and turned to talk to the person who congratulated her.
What the emperor said made her famous again. I really don't know if it's a bad thing or a good thing
"The county magistrate's wife is indeed lucky..." Cui Cuicui looked at Li Qingling quietly, but before she finished speaking, there was the sound of giving gifts from outside, and Li Qingling was asked to go out to receive the gifts.
Seeing the back of Li Qingling walking out in a hurry, Cui Cuicui's face was distorted with anger.
Miao Miao turned her head to look at Cui Cuicui, and asked her if she wanted to go out together to see who was going to give the county magistrate's wife a gift
Cui Cuicui forced a smile on her lips, and said go, why not go
When she, Miao Miao and the others walked to the outer yard together, they saw the guards walking in carrying boxes one by one.
They didn't need to inquire, they could already hear the people next to them discussing that these were birthday presents from Liu's, Xue's, and Lu's in the capital to Li Qingling.
Looking at the crushed shoulders of the guards, you can tell that there are real things inside, not empty.
Looking at Li Qingling standing beside Liu Zhimo, Cui Cuicui was so jealous that she wanted to replace him.
Looking at the unfinished boxes, Li Qingling looked up at Liu Zhimo, and said a little speechlessly, why did Grandpa and the others send so many things
She really planned to spend her birthday in a low-key manner, but unexpectedly...
Liu Zhimo smiled and said, Grandpa and the others gave it to you, you can take it at ease, and you don't have to worry about it.
After Grandpa and the others found out that Xiao Ling was pregnant, they probably wanted to leave, but they couldn't come, so they had to give more gifts.
Liu Zhimo was really right to say this, and at this moment, the old man Liu and the three gathered in Xue's mansion and sighed.
"The girl should have received our gift, right?" The old man Xue sighed slightly, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and looked sad, "If the emperor didn't allow me to retire and return home, I would have gone to the girl's side to guard her I don't see her give birth to the baby properly, I feel so worried."
When he received Mr. Luo's ostentatious letter, he was both happy and jealous. He was happy that Li Qingling was pregnant, and he was jealous that old man Luo could watch her by Li Qingling's side.
When will the emperor agree to let him return home
Worrying... so sad.
Old man Liu's mood is not much better than that of old man Xue? "Old man Luo wrote letters from time to time to stimulate me, saying that he had such a wonderful life, which made me want to go to my grandchildren and live with them." Thinking of the letters that old man Luo wrote to him, he He was so angry that he scratched his heart and lungs, obviously he was his own grandfather, why should his grandchildren be closer to old man Luo than to him
I really hope that the days of his grandson's release will be over soon, and he will come back to the capital as soon as possible, so that he can see his grandchildren and great-grandson every day.
Thinking of the great-grandson who will be born a few months later, Old Man Liu wished he could grow wings and fly to Ninghua County.
Old man Lu picked up his teacup and took two sips of tea slowly, before he opened his mouth with a little worry. Today is different, Xiao Ling is pregnant, she is young, and there is no adult around. I wonder if she can take care of herself
The distance is far away, and he can't go even if he wants his daughter-in-law to take care of him for a few days.
"I sent two experienced moms."
"Old man Liu, when did you send it?" Old man Xue glanced at old man Liu in surprise.
Old man Liu raised his chin proudly and said, this is also one of my birthday presents to Xiao Ling.
When he knew that Li Qingling was pregnant with his great-grandson, he started to do it.
That's his great-grandson, how could he not take it seriously
Seeing Old Man Liu's complacent look, Old Man Xue pointed at him with shaking fingers, "Well, you Old Man Liu, you are hiding such an important matter from us." He paused, "You are not afraid that we will rob you." Is your limelight?" After saying this, I felt a little annoyed in my heart, why didn't he think of this
Hey... so inexperienced.
Old man Lu glanced at old man Liu. He also wanted to send the two mothers to take care of Li Qingling, but there were no suitable candidates in the mansion, so he asked his daughter-in-law to search for the two back elsewhere. After finding it, old man Liu stepped on it first.
depressed…
"Is the person you sent safe? Isn't it a nail?"
Old man Liu hummed and said, "It's safe, if it's not safe, how could I send it to Xiao Ling?" He specially invited these two people to come back to take care of Li Qingling, "A dowry maid who was once a wife , one used to be Jing'er's nanny, and the two of them heard that they were going to take care of Xiao Ling, and they both nodded in agreement." The two of them watched their youngest son grow up, and they will be loyal to their grandson.
Hearing Old Man Liu's words, Old Man Xue and Old Man Lu snorted and hated Old Man Liu in unison.
Old man Liu laughed happily, saying that they were jealous, jealous of his thoughtfulness.
Li Qingling didn't know the grievances of the three old men. She looked at the two women kneeling on the ground, and after hearing their reasons for coming, she hurriedly asked them to get up.
The white and fat woman is Yao Shi, the father-in-law's nanny, and she looks very kind.
The tall and thin woman next to her was Jin Shi, grandma's dowry maid. She looked serious and sincere in her eyes.
It seems that the two women sent by old man Liu are quite good, but it takes a long time to see people's hearts, and we have to observe for a period of time before we can draw a conclusion.
Yao shi and Jin shi looked at Liu Zhimo, who looked exactly like Liu Siye, and couldn't help crying.
"Fourth Young Master, you really look like Fourth Master." Yao Shi looked at Liu Zhimo with teary eyes, and after she knew that her grandparents' Fourth Master was gone, she fell ill from crying.
She never thought that her fourth master left earlier than her.
If she had followed Fourth Master back then, maybe... Maybe Fourth Master wouldn't...
When Master Su found her and asked her if she would like to serve the Fourth Young Madam, she nodded without saying a word.
That was her fourth master's daughter-in-law, and she was willing to come and serve her and watch her give birth to fourth master's grandson safely.
"Like, really like." Jin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Among the young lady's children, she loved the fourth master the most. The fourth master was also good to her, even if he bought things for his wife, he would not leave her behind.
But...such a good child, why...why...God is not open!
Looking at the Fourth Young Master, it was like seeing the Fourth Master when he was young...
Liu Zhimo took a step forward, comforting them and telling them not to cry.
Under Liu Zhimo's comfort, after a while, the two slowly stopped their tears.
Seeing this, Li Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, and asked them gently if they were tired? Do you want to take a break before eating, or do you rest after eating
Both Yao Shi and Jin Shi shook their heads to express that they were not tired and did not need to rest.
Seeing their attitudes, Li Qingling didn't force her, took them to the main seat, asked someone to add two chairs, and asked them to sit down and eat.
Yao shi and Jin shi refused and wanted to stand behind Li Qingling and serve her.
Li Qingling said with a serious face, today is her birthday, listen to her, sit down and have a meal with her, there will be plenty of opportunities for them to serve her in the future.
Having said that, it seemed that Yao and Jin refused to know what to do. After thanking Li Qingling, they sat next to Li Qingling.
Li Qingling smiled, and asked the guests to continue eating without being polite.
