After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Wu Jingzhi opened his mouth to defend Yan Qingqing: "Mom, you have never been in contact with Aunt Li. Aunt Li is not that kind of person.

Our current popular headwear was designed by Aunt Li, and she supported seven children by herself.

She also opened an embroidery workshop and shop, built a food processing workshop, a mushroom cultivation workshop, and created an ecological orchard and peony garden.

I think that although Aunt Li is a woman, her abilities are definitely not inferior to those of men. Anyway, my son feels inferior. "

Mrs. Wu was even more unhappy when she saw the admiration for Yan Qingqing in her son's eyes.

Because she always felt that Li Jia's status was not worthy of their family. Although their family was a merchant's family, they had some connections with the government after so many years of business.

Wu Jingzhi is the legitimate son of the family. If he cannot marry a woman who can help him, how will he be able to gain a foothold in the Wu family in the future.

Wu Jingzhi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the impatient look on Mrs. Wu's face, but he still said: "In this life, I will not marry anyone except Xin Niang.

If nothing happens to my mother, I will go back to Chengyang County in the next two days. "

Mrs. Wu was very angry when she heard this. Why was the son he gave birth to so rebellious and unfilial?

Who is she doing this for? Master Wu has many wives and concubines, and even more concubines. Who is not staring at the two of them with eager eyes.

She finally found a suitable marriage that could help her and Wu Jingzhi, but who knew that Wu Jingzhi refused so simply.

No matter how much Mrs. Wu cried and wiped her tears behind, Wu Jingzhi never looked back.

His mother has been doing this since he was a child. If he is not firmer today, it will be even more impossible for him and Xin Niang.

Wu Jingzhi knew exactly what he wanted, and he had a plan.

He has left enough options for himself. In addition to managing the Wu family's property, he also has his own property.

Even if he leaves the Wu family, he can live very comfortably.

Wu Jingzhi originally planned to return to Chengyang County in two days, but that night he had a nightmare that Li Xinniang was getting married.

In the dream, Li Xinniang was wearing a red wedding dress, and she was incredibly beautiful.

But she told him with tears in her eyes that she was getting married, making him forget about her.

This dream was so real that Wu Jingzhi was frightened and woke up.

Wu Jingzhi couldn't bear the thought of the possibility of Li Xinniang marrying someone else.

So he quickly ordered his personal servant to pack his things, and he wanted to return to Chengyang County overnight.

Before leaving, Wu Jingzhi thought about it and left a letter to Mrs. Wu. The general content was that he was unfilial and hoped that Mrs. Wu would forgive him.

It is impossible for him to marry the Chan Niang from his aunt's family. The only woman he really likes is Xin Niang. He is going to find her now. I hope Mrs. Wu can understand.

After writing this letter, Wu Jingzhi hurriedly left the capital.

As soon as Wu Jingzhi left the capital, a caravan carrying goods entered the capital.

There was also a carriage in this long transport queue.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the person in the carriage opened the curtain and sighed: "This journey will kill our family, but luckily the job was done beautifully."

This person is none other than Eunuch Xiang who went to Chengyang County to deliver the decree.

He could have rushed back to the capital, but he thought that these potatoes and sweet potatoes were of great importance. The emperor had paid a heavy reward for them, and there was no room for any mistakes, so he returned to the capital with the caravan.

At any rate, the hard work along the way was worth it. This errand was done well, and he was one step closer to the position of Chief Controller of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Xiang suddenly became energetic and shouted: "Everyone has worked hard on this journey. We have arrived at the gate of the city. We can reach the palace in half an hour's walk.

When you get to the palace, I will ask you for a reward. "

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt as if they were in trouble. They were a convoy specializing in traveling. Although they traveled all year round, they had never entered the palace.

If they could still enter the palace and receive the emperor's reward, it would be enough for them to brag for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, they all looked excited.

The emperor was in a daze in the palace. They knew that the emperor had not been in a good mood during this period. So the palace maids and eunuchs around me didn't even dare to show off.

They all hoped that Eunuch Xiang would come back soon. After all, Eunuch Xiang grew up with the emperor.

Usually when the emperor was unhappy, only Eunuch Xiang could give him a few words of advice, and even the general manager would lean back.

No one could stand the chanting. Under the collective chanting of these little palace maids and eunuchs, Eunuch Xiang finally came back.

When the emperor heard that Eunuch Xiang was back, his face became a little brighter and he said, "Since he is back, why don't you let him in quickly?"

After hearing this, Eunuch Xiang hurriedly came over to greet the emperor without even having time to change his clothes.

When the emperor saw Eunuch Xiang, he had lost a lot of weight. He still had a tired look on his face, and he frowned and asked, "Why did I lose so much weight just after going out? I have suffered so much along the way."

After all, Eunuch Xiang had been with the emperor for decades, so the emperor couldn't help but feel a little more concerned when he saw him like this.

Eunuch Xiang replied with a moved face: "I thank you for your concern, it is not considered a hardship.

After all, those potatoes and sweet potatoes were grown by Ming Zhao with great pains. The servant was afraid that something might go wrong, so he followed the convoy all the way. He was a little acclimatized and fell ill for two days on the road, so he was delayed for a few days and asked the emperor to punish him. "

Even though Eunuch Xiang said this, he knew that not only would the emperor not punish him, but he would also use him more seriously. No one knew the Emperor better than he did.

Sure enough, the emperor heard this and said: "Okay, get up. You have made great achievements this time, and I will reward you well when I get back."

After hearing this, Eunuch Xiang quickly thanked him and got up from the ground.

The emperor asked him about the situation along the way, and then changed the subject: "What do you think of Ming Zhaoren, can he bear the title of Ming Zhao?"

Eunuch Xiang smiled and said: "This Ming Zhaoren is a strange woman that I only see in daily life."

Then he told what he saw and heard in Canghe Village and his views on Yan Qingqing.

The emperor relaxed his brows after hearing this. Some courtiers in the court reported that he had rewarded Yan Qingqing too much, fearing that his virtue would not match his position.

In fact, the emperor thought about it later. It was nothing to be a fifth-grade person, but the word "Ming Zhao" was indeed very important. Even one's own concubines are rarely qualified to use these two words as titles.

But at that time, I didn't know why I gave Yan Qingqing such a title.

However, the reward was a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible for him to take it back. I only hope Yan Qingqing can bear these two words.

Eunuch Xiang has been with the emperor for so many years, how could he not understand his thoughts?

But since he had sided with Yan Qingqing from the beginning, he would naturally stand to the end.
