Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Chapter 562 Sitting in a well and looking at the sky

While Shen Ping was looking at the eunuch, Eunuch Liang was also looking at her.

Just now when I saw her from a distance, this woman had a unique temperament and stood out from the crowd. Unexpectedly, now that I see her up close, she also looks so noble.

The woman was tall, wearing a raincoat, with a pearl hairpin in her hair, bright eyes and white teeth, and her every move was neither humble nor arrogant, revealing a sense of dignity.

Eunuch Liang nodded secretly. This woman was no ordinary country woman. She was a capable person. He didn't expect that such a small place could hide such a great talent. Eunuch Liang immediately showed great respect to Shen Ping.

Shen Ping bowed and smiled at Magistrate Zhang: "Sir Zhang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Magistrate Zhang stood up, stretched out his hand and said to the middle-aged man in navy blue, "Mrs. Yu, this is Eunuch Liang from the capital."

Then he looked at Eunuch Liang and compared it to Shen Ping and said, "Eunuch Liang, this is Lady Yu, who was bestowed by the late emperor."

Shen Ping bowed slightly: "Greetings, Eunuch Liang."

Eunuch Liang was shocked, and immediately bowed with both hands, bowed respectfully, and said: "Mrs. Yu, it is my turn to bow to you, you are embarrassing me like this." Your servant Liang Zhi greets Mrs. Yu.

Shen Ping hurriedly bowed and returned the greeting: "Eunuch Liang, you are the imperial envoy."

“No, no!”

Eunuch Liang waved his hand and said, "You were granted a title by the late emperor, and you are wearing the Yurufu given by the late emperor. Seeing the clothes is like seeing the person. I must pay my respects to you. This is to show my respect to the late emperor."

Unexpectedly, the eunuch Liang in front of her was quite polite. Shen Ping smiled and nodded slightly.

As he was talking, there was a commotion outside the courtyard gate and the village chief He Guang came. He Guang walked in quickly. He heard the villagers say that another imperial envoy had come, so as the village chief, he had to show up.

"Sir Zhang, you are here. I'm so sorry that you didn't tell me in advance and I couldn't go out to greet you! Who is this?" He Guang looked at Eunuch Liang and asked.

"Village Chief He, this is Eunuch Liang sent by the imperial court!"

"Greetings, Eunuch Liang!" He Guang bowed.

"Hmm~" Eunuch Liang snorted in response. This village chief really has no tact.

Seeing that Eunuch Liang didn't pay much attention to him, He Guang felt embarrassed and stood aside.

Shen Ping realized it and quickly gave him a way out: "Look at my memory. I just said I would notify you, the village chief, but I forgot it the moment I turned around. It's just right that you're here now, so I don't need to invite you."

After hearing what Shen Ping said, He Guang's expression looked better.

Shen Ping turned to look at Eunuch Liang and said, "I'm sorry, Eunuch Liang, I kept you waiting for a long time." Shen Ping smiled and said, "I just took a bath, changed my clothes, burned incense and worshipped Buddha, and put on the raincoat given by the late emperor, which delayed me for some time."

"It's okay~ It's okay!" Facing Shen Ping, Eunuch Liang respectfully changed his face into a smiling one: "Are you ready? If you are ready, I will read out the imperial edict."

At this time, Hong Gu also called the Third Young Lady and the servants over, and they all knelt down together, listening to Eunuch Liang's announcement of the decree. County Magistrate Zhang and others also knelt down.

God bless you, the Emperor has issued an edict that Shen Ping, the lady of Yu from Kaoshan Village, has made great contributions in saving the prince, and is rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and 20 bolts of silk and satin, and is also granted the title of Lady Yu'an.

"Thank you, His Majesty, for a thousand years and a thousand years of long life..." Shen Ping led everyone to kowtow and kneel.

Eunuch Liang laughed and said, "Congratulations, Yu Anren~"

Shen Ping stood up and took the imperial edict handed over by Eunuch Liang, and gave Hong Gu a look. Hong Gu understood and quickly took out her wallet and handed over five taels of silver: "Eunuch Liang, you have worked hard on the way. Take this to have tea."

"Haha~ OK, OK!" Eunuch Liang accepted the silver generously.

A few big men at the back brought up the boxes they had carried in. When they opened them, the bright yellow gold bars immediately lit up the entire room.

There were also some silks and satins, which made some servants very excited. Following Madam Shen, they really lived a good life.

County Magistrate Zhang stood up, bowed with both hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Yu Anren. In just half a year, you have been promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank."

"This is all thanks to you, Lord Zhang!" Shen Ping has now learned to be polite: "It's time for dinner, Eunuch Liang, Lord Zhang, I've prepared some wine, I hope you two will show me your kindness."

"Okay! I won't be polite then!" said Eunuch Liang with a smile. These days, he was worried that he would not be able to complete the task, so he rushed around and really didn't have a good meal.

Just now, when she heard that the imperial envoy had arrived, Hong Gu had already arranged for a maid to cook in the kitchen. Now, after receiving the imperial edict, several people started to work, and soon, lunch was ready.

"Yu'an people, why can't we see the Second Miss and the others?" Captain Li looked left and right but couldn't see Erya, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Oh, they are in the workshop~" Shen Ping explained.

Although the workshop is close to home, Erya and Sanchun usually do not go home for lunch. They eat with the workers in the workshop's cafeteria.

After eating, they rested for a while on the second floor. Shen Ping did not send anyone to notify them to come back, so today was no exception.

"So that's how it is~" Captain Li suddenly felt a little disappointed.

As soon as the dish was served, Eunuch Liang's eyes lit up. He had thought that there would be nothing delicious in the countryside and mountains, but he couldn't tell what the first dish served was.

This dish is as white as jade, crystal clear, and crisp in the mouth. It looks like a radish, but it is not a radish. When fried with lean meat, it absorbs the fragrance of the lean meat while retaining its sweetness.

There is also the golden and firm chicken, which is cooked in a unique way and is salty and fragrant, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste. There is also the braised pork offal, which makes you want to eat a second piece after eating one.

There are also these skewers of mutton, which have a unique flavor and make people unable to stop eating.

There were ten dishes on the table, and every one of them was highly praised by Eunuch Liang. He thought to himself that he had eaten a lot of good food in the palace.

He had always thought that the dishes cooked by the imperial chefs in the palace were the most delicious. But after eating these dishes, he realized that he was just looking at the world from a narrow perspective. There were actually such delicious dishes in the world.

At first he felt sorry for the Tenth Prince, who had lived in the small mountain village for so long that he must have eaten a lot of wild vegetables. Unexpectedly, the Tenth Prince had lived here for several months and had been eating these vegetables. Eunuch Liang actually envied him inexplicably.

No wonder the Tenth Prince didn’t lose weight after being injured, it turns out there are so many delicious foods.

"Eunuch Liang, I don't have any delicious dishes here, so just make do with what you have." Shen Ping said politely.

"Yu'an, look at what you said. To be honest, I have never eaten such delicious food before. Today, it is all thanks to you."

What Eunuch Liang said was not a lie. If he were in the palace, he would not dare to say so. But now that there was no one else around, he just said it straight.

I never thought that the emperor didn’t get to eat such delicious food, but I can eat it here.

Magistrate Zhang raised the corner of his mouth. It was his first time eating at the Zhang residence and he saw the same reaction from Eunuch Liang. Now he was used to it.

"Eunuch Liang, if it's delicious, please eat more!" Shen Ping knew that he was not lying. How could the dish not be delicious after adding so many seasonings to it!

"Mr. Yu'an, what dish is this?" Eunuch Liang asked, pointing to the dish that was as white as jade.

"This is called earth melon, but it's a new variety. It can be eaten raw or used in cooking."

"Isn't the ground melon a sweet potato?" Eunuch Liang was puzzled.

Shen Ping was happy: "That's sweet potato!"

"Is this chicken so delicious?" Eunuch Yang pointed at the plate of chicken.

Magistrate Zhang laughed and said, "This is called salt-baked chicken. Yu'an is doing this business and it's doing great business."

"Eunuch Liang, if you like them, I'll bring you two later."

"In that case, thank you very much." Eunuch Liang's eyes lit up. He didn't have many hobbies but liked eating.

After a hearty meal and a good drink, Eunuch Liang and the others were about to say goodbye, saying that the trip had taken up a lot of time and he had to hurry back to report.

Shen Ping knew very well the difficulties of being an official, and did not try to persuade him to stay. She just packed two salt-baked chickens and some pork offal for him.

In addition, some were also packed for County Magistrate Zhang and Captain Li, and no one refused and accepted them happily.

Before leaving, Shen Ping specifically asked Eunuch Liang about Shenyang to see what information she could get from him.

Eunuch Liang also thought that Shen Ping was just concerned, so he didn't take any precautions and told the truth, saying that the emperor wanted to keep him by his side and had rewarded him with beautiful girls, a palace, and many other good things.

But Eunuch Liang forgot to mention one thing, that is, Shenyang rejected those beauties.
