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

Many people greeted Yan Qingqing enthusiastically after seeing her, and every time she walked to a stall, the villagers who set up stalls would stuff her with something.

Yan Qingqing naturally refused to ask for it. Of course Yan Qingqing would accept it when she saw something strange and moved her heart, but she would let Ruyi pay the money.

These people are doing small businesses, and she is not short of money now, so she definitely can't take their money for free.

Especially since she is still a member of the Ming Zhaoshuo of the Great Yan Dynasty, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at her, both secretly and openly.

Of course she couldn't smear it on her face.

Just when Yan Qingqing was enjoying her shopping, Ada hurried over and whispered a few words in Yan Qingqing's ear.

Yan Qingqing put down the things in her hands and hurried home.

Ruyi also hurriedly followed with the gadgets bought by Yan Qingqing.

As Yan Qingqing walked home, she looked at Ah Da and asked, "Which father-in-law is here to deliver the message this time?"

Ah Da replied: "It's the same father-in-law who came last time.

This time the imperial edict is for our eldest young master, and the younger one has already asked Ah Wu to hurry up and report the news. "

Yan Qingqing nodded and said: "We must treat people well and we must not neglect these people in the palace.

Sometimes it is this small role that can play a big role at critical moments.

What's more important is that they are the people around the emperor.

Spending time together day and night better understands the emperor's preferences. Having a good relationship with them can save you a lot of trouble. "

Upon hearing this, Ada quickly agreed, and then said: "The young lady has already come forward to entertain me personally. I think my father-in-law will not feel neglected."

In the eyes of outsiders, the most important people in the Li family at present are Yan Qingqing and Li Xiangping, who are appointed officials by the imperial court, followed by Yuan Huiniang.

She is the wife of Li Xiangping, who is married to a matchmaker. She is also loved by Yan Qingqing, her mother-in-law, and is in charge of the middle-aged wife of the inner house.

Even with ordinary officials and wives, they are qualified enough.

Therefore, Ada felt that Yuan Huiniang's presence to entertain the father-in-law was a great honor to him.

Besides, the father-in-law is a eunuch, and he doesn't have those male and female guards, so even if he tells it, others won't think anything of it.

Otherwise, how could the emperor rest assured that these eunuchs were running rampant in the harem?

But this is a class society, and there are seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister. What's more, it's the emperor's personal attendant.

They are also slaves, so the slaves around the emperor are naturally much nobler than other slaves.

But Yan Qingqing doesn't have time to explain this to Ah Da now.

This is the first time for Yuan Huiniang to entertain visitors from the palace.

But she didn't panic. With her experience as a housekeeper in the past few years, she was still able to chat with her father-in-law.

Eunuch-in-law already had a good impression of the Li family, and Eunuch Xiang always spoke well of Yan Qingqing in front of the emperor.

He is naturally very kind to the Li family.

When Yan Qingqing came back, he saw the two of them chatting happily, asking and answering questions.

When the father-in-law saw Yan Qingqing, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "We have two Ming Zhaoshuo people in our family."

Yan Qingqing's rank was displayed there, so it was only natural for her father-in-law to salute her.

Yan Qingqing did not dare to make excuses, and said with a smile: "Eunuch-in-law, there is no need to be polite. My father-in-law has just returned to the capital not long ago, and I bothered my father-in-law to make this trip because of my family affairs. I really feel sorry for him."

When the father-in-law saw that Yan Qingqing was still so polite when speaking, his affection for her increased greatly.

So he also said: "We are all doing errands for the emperor, and I dare not speak out about my hardships.

Besides, although it was a long way to deliver the message to Ming Zhaoshuo's family, it was a good job.

When he came, the emperor also ordered his servants to tell Ming Zhaoshuo so that you could come to Beijing at some time.

Your house in the capital is still empty. "

What Yan Qingqing didn't understand when she heard this was that the emperor meant for her to enter the palace to express gratitude, but there was no clear purpose.

But Yan Qingqing really couldn't leave for a while.

Besides, it is impossible for the emperor to always remember her as a small-faced person, so he smiled and said to the father-in-law: "What the father-in-law said is that there are too many things at home recently, and I can't spare any time.

However, I also asked my father-in-law to tell the emperor. When I get the chance, I will definitely go to the palace to express my gratitude. "

The father-in-law smiled and nodded, indicating that he would take Yan Qingqing's words to heart.

After Yan Qingqing sat down, she glanced at Ruyi who was standing aside.

Ruyi quickly took out a purse from her sleeve, stepped forward and stuffed it into her father-in-law's hand and said: "Eunuch-in-law, thank you for your hard work this time. This is a small tribute from us Ming Zhaoshuo.

Please invite your father-in-law to have tea, and please don’t dislike our small place for being shallow. "

The father-in-law squeezed his purse out of habit. Suddenly he said with a smile on his face: "What this girl said is really embarrassing to our family. It is our family's honor to be able to run errands for Ming Zhaoshuo. There is no such thing as shallowness."

Last time in front of so many people, this girl put 2000 taels of silver notes in the food box.

Moreover, she has always been with Yan Qingqing. Although she is a girl, she can carry thousands of taels of silver notes with her at any time, which shows how much Ming Zhaoshuo trusts her.

The father-in-law was used to seeing all kinds of people in the palace, especially some of the eldest maids who were surrounded by high-ranking concubines in the harem, but their lives were much better than those of ordinary concubines.

Therefore, the father-in-law did not underestimate Ruyi just because he was a maid.

Ruyi behaved generously, and after stuffing his wallet, he returned to Yan Qingqing.

At first glance, it seems that he behaves in a moderate manner.

Although Ruyi is usually very casual in front of Yan Qingqing, Yan Qingqing has received special training in her etiquette and posture.

The father-in-law put away his purse and said with a smile: "Oh, our trip was really worth it. Not only did we get a reward from the young lady, but we also received a reward from Ming Zhaoshuo. I won't see those brats envying me when I get back. broken."

Eunuch-in-law's words are true. They are the emperor's personal servants, and they all know that this kind of job of delivering orders is definitely a good job.

Especially this kind of reward work is done by competition.

After all, rewards are indispensable in any mansion, but there are really not many people as generous as Ming Zhaoshuo.

The last time I made a move, it was 2000 taels.

Even if they stay in the palace for a lifetime, they may not be able to save so much money.

So it was not Eunuch-in-law who should have come to deliver the order this time, but who made him Eunuch Xiang's apprentice.

He went to ask Eunuch Xiang, and the good job naturally fell on him again.

To put it bluntly, Eunuch Xiang is now the chief manager, otherwise he would have wanted to come.

Yan Qingqing chatted with her father-in-law for a while, and also inquired about the situation in the palace from the side.

Especially regarding Xiao Mochen, Yan Qingqing wanted to know what the emperor's attitude was towards Xiao Mochen now so that she could take corresponding countermeasures.

The father-in-law thought that Yan Qingqing was just curious and wanted to sell her face, so naturally he told Yan Qingqing everything he knew.
