Farmer’s Blessed Girl

After listening for a while, Man Bao understood that she was talking about Madam Tang, and was about to say hello with a smile, when another little girl on the side said, "Little girl Aunt Zhang, my father is the servant of the Ministry of Rites who is on the expedition with Lord Zhou this time... …”

"The little girl Liang Erniang, her father is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple..."

"My grandfather is Zhao Guogong."

The crowd fell silent.

Man Bao also quieted down and looked at them in confusion, "Little ladies, this is..."

Aunt Zhao pursed her lips and smiled, the 112-year-old girl pretended to be mature and generous and saluted, raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Man in admiration: "I heard that Master Zhou is very knowledgeable, but I was not in the capital before. , I wonder if I have the opportunity to ask Master Zhou this time?"

Man Bao asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"I want to ask for advice on everything," Aunt Zhao said, "I can't finish talking in a while, why don't I come to visit another day? Sir Zhou, what time do you think is suitable?"

Wang Jiuniang couldn't help but whispered, "I'll go too."

As soon as she started, the others immediately followed, "I want to go too."

Man Bao:  …

Madam Liu was stunned for a moment and then smiled with Man Bao: "The plum blossoms in the garden are about to bloom, why don't you find some time to invite the children to come and enjoy the plums in the garden?"

Man Bao nodded shyly.

Bai Shan glanced at Aunt Zhao and the others, turned his head and said to Man Bao, "Aunt Shang next to the Empress is here."

Man Bao looked up and looked left and right, and saw Aunt Shang greeted her with a smile on her face, bowed her knees with Zhou Man and the others, and said, "My lady heard that the madam and the county lord are coming to the palace, and the special servants came over to invite the madam and the prince. Your Majesty, the two of you please."

Many wives and little ladies turned their heads and looked over, and the adults who were gathered on the other side to talk also looked over.

It is a very honorable thing to be received by the queen at such a banquet.

Generally speaking, only some noble wives and old wives of aristocratic families can have this honor. In addition, they are people who are highly valued by the emperor. The queen specially summoned their wives and mothers to show their respect.

Man Bao and Bai Shan immediately supported Qian and Mrs. Liu to the apse.

Bai Shan didn't go in, but handed Mrs. Liu to Man Bao, nodded with her, stayed where he was with his mother and Zhou Liru, and watched the three of them enter the hall.

This is the advantage of women being officials. They can accompany their families to meet the queen.

Zheng Shi entered the palace for the first time, and the familiar mother-in-law was not there at this time, so she could not help clenching the handkerchief in her hand anxiously.

Seeing it, Bai Shan stretched out his hand to hold her hand and smiled, "Don't worry, mother, grandma and the others will come out soon."

Zheng Shi nodded.

Zhou Liru had entered the palace once, and the young man was very daring. Seeing Mrs. Zheng's worried expression, she stepped forward and hugged her arm and said, "Grandma Zheng, let's go see the flower room of the palace later. The reason why there are flowers in winter is because they have greenhouses. They are much more powerful than our greenhouses.”

Zheng Shi smiled and said, "How can the small flower house in our house be compared with the imperial palace?"

Seeing his mother relax, Bai Shan couldn't help but smile.

Man Bao brought Qian and Mrs. Liu inside, and saluted the queen together.

There were a dozen or so old ladies and wives sitting in the apse, sitting on both sides, with a dozen or so younger girls or ladies standing behind them, which didn't seem crowded.

The queen immediately raised her hand to get them up, pointed to the next position and said, "It's the first time I've seen the madam and the county lord, Lord Zhou, quickly help your grandmother and mother to come and sit, and let this palace talk to them."

Man Bao helped the two of them up and let Mrs. Liu sit on the top, Mrs Qian sat on the bottom, and she stood behind them.

The queen looked at her and said with a smile, "It's rare to see Lord Zhou so quiet and gentle."

Man Bao raised his head and smiled at the queen.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "She is still young, so she is inevitably naughty, thanks to His Majesty and Empress for being tolerant."

The Queen smiled and said, "For such a smart and lovely person, even if Ben Gong and His Majesty do not want to tolerate it, they will not agree in their hearts."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Qian family, his face was slightly solemn, and he said solemnly: "Dajin can have such talents as Lord Zhou, thanks to the upbringing of the county lord, both the Zhou family and the Bai family have taught their children very well, and His Majesty also said that Bai Shan It is the pillar of the country, thank you madam and the county lord."

The queen bowed slightly, and Madam Liu was so frightened that she quickly got up and curtseyed, and Qian followed her, "Your majesty and your majesty praised it, it is a great honor for the two children to be appreciated by Your Majesty and your majesty."

Qian Shi was more simple, and directly said to Man Bao, "Don't hurry up and thank Niangniang."

Man Bao came out and knelt down and bowed.

The queen quickly asked Aunt Shang to support the person, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that the county lord has taught well."

Seeing this, the other life women were also happy to sell Zhou Man, and nodded in agreement.

Qian Shi was praised by so many people, including the queen and so many noble ladies who had never met before, her face was slightly red, but she said generously: "This child was brought by her sister-in-law since she was a child, my body is It's not good, you can just talk to her."

Then the old lady stared at her face, and asked after a while, "I heard that Zhou Xianjun gave birth to seven children?"

"Yes," Qian said with a smile, when it came to the topic of having children, "six sons, but unfortunately only one daughter."

"What a blessing," the old lady smiled, "but I don't think the Xianjun's face is too bad. I don't know how to maintain it?"

Qian Shi was stunned for a moment and then said, "This is all due to Man Bao's recuperation. If you eat more food and meat, your complexion will be better."

Everyone is envied, they are not short of food and clothing, but as long as they have children, there are all kinds of problems. It’s okay to have one or two, and if you have three or more, basically, the more problems you have, the more problems even the queen will have. Not spared.

An old lady couldn't help but ask, "Have all seven children been supported?"

"Yes."

Everyone was even more amazed. They had long heard that Zhou Man's family was Ding Xingwang, and the adoptive parents who raised her were her eldest uncle and aunt, who gave birth to her many cousins. The business is all managed by a few older brothers, and he has accumulated some foundations from no foundation.

It can be called a model of mutual assistance and honorable ancestors.

But Zhou Man has too many brothers going back and forth. Except for one of her eldest and fourth brothers, and the fifth and sixth brothers who are in charge of the restaurant, they have never seen anyone else, so they don't know if it is true or not.

Only after hearing this did she realize that she really had six brothers.

However, the object of everyone's admiration at the moment is not Zhou Man, but Qian.

There was an old lady who couldn't help sitting up straight, leaning forward slightly, "Zhou County, I don't know how your children are raised? To be honest, Lao Shen has been pregnant with six children and gave birth to four in his life, but Only one son stopped."

She took out the handkerchief to wipe her tears and said, "My son has given birth to a lot of children, but only two children were born, and now my grandson is about to get married, I, I always feel a little bit in my heart I was worried, so I wanted to learn from Zhou Xianjun."

When Qian Shi's heart was raised, she couldn't help but look at Man Bao. Can she say what she said in the countryside?

See you at 6 pm
