Eleven Niang and Bin Ju had not seen each other for a while. She left Bin Ju to eat, and just as she sat down, Wan Dashian rushed over.

Binju's heart tightened.

Wan Daxian has always been cautious and steady. He knew that she came into the house to see Eleven Niang. Even if something happened, he would not come so rashly. Could something big happen?

Eleven Niang was also surprised. She hurriedly told the little maid: Please ask Manager Wan to come in quickly.

The little maid responded and left.

Bin Ju's eyebrows revealed a look of anxiety.

She said don’t worry. Eleven Niang comforted her and said that if anything happens, we can help find a solution together.

Bin Ju Dading.

With Eleven Niang in charge, she can figure out a solution to no matter how big the deal is.

When Wan Daxian came in, his expression looked a little serious. He bowed respectfully to Eleven Niang, and called the Fourth Madam with a smile. His smile also seemed a little forced.

The eleventh mother sent the little maid in the house.

Wan Daxian breathed a visibly relieved sigh.

He took out a small purple-red velvet bag from his chest: Madam, look

Bin Ju hurriedly took the child over and opened it in front of Eleven Niang.

They both gasped.

There is a whole bag of pearls, each one the size of a dragon's eye. They are so precious that it makes people unable to open their eyes.

Pearls with this appearance, let alone a small bag, can be sold individually for forty or fifty taels of silver each.

Could it be the Wang family?

A flash occurred in Eleven Niang's mind.

Didn’t their family go pearl hunting after they settled in Liaodong?

Bin Ju exclaimed: Where did you come from?

Changshun was gone, so my father and mother built a snail for him near our orchard. Wan Da showed a wry smile, feeling tired, and sat in front of the grave to drink water. A man who claimed to be a businessman said that he had lost his way and asked his father.

How to go. His father showed him the way, and he asked for tea. His father didn't care at that time. He went to the mountain the next day and found this bag when he was getting the willow basket. He waited in front of Changshun's grave for four or five days.

I didn't see anyone coming to ask for a while. I couldn't wait like this and just asked me to go back to discuss it. He said, looking at Eleven Niang, I brought the things over. Let's see what Madam does with it.

Since it is an ownerless thing, it is God's will that it falls into your home. Shiyiniang said, just accept it. When the time comes, the owner will find the thing and give it to you. Just let him find me.

Wan Daxian and Bin Ju exchanged a look. Wan Daxian was a little uneasy, and Bin Ju was also hesitant.

They are all honest people. Even if they picked it up, they can't use it with peace of mind.

Don't worry. Eleven Niang reminded them that it is said that the Wang family is now the largest caravan in Liaodong. If someone drops a tiger or wolf skin one day and lands on your house, you can just use it with peace of mind.

The two of them were stunned.

Bin Ju said, "Then I can't take it anymore. Tears were shining in the corners of my eyes. I didn't prepare for him to go back."

Wan Daxian also looked a little sad.

I never thought of it. Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh. Just think of it as just a thought.

The two nodded.

Now that Wan Daxian is here, she won't let Bin Ju eat. But she still has to give Bin Ju face.

Eleven Niang rewarded them both with a table of dishes to take back.

When Xu Lingyi came back in the evening, Eleven Niang told the story.

The Wang family is quite considerate. Xu Lingyi nodded and stopped mentioning the matter. He talked about the Wanshou Festival in November to celebrate the emperor's fiftieth birthday. He obeyed the king's wishes and wanted to organize it grandly. Mr. Han from the Hanlin Academy said:

They also wrote a special note and sent it up. According to Xingrensi, the emperor read it several times. Although he did not read it in the end, he put the note on the table when the elders came into the palace to discuss matters.

I think we should prepare birthday gifts early so that we won’t be able to buy better things when the time comes.

The emperor lacks nothing. Eleven Niang said, I am afraid that I still have to work hard on the meaning.

I think so too. Xu Lingyi said that he planned to recruit Mr. Zhao from the affairs office tomorrow to discuss what would be a good gift. In the end, he gave a pair of purple purlin wood and ivory chā screens carved with Peng Zutu as a birthday gift. Although

It's not outstanding, but it's not unconventional either. It's stable and consistent, which is in line with Yongping Hou's style.

On the day when she entered the palace to celebrate her birthday, the Queen Mother, in order to show sympathy for the wife, specially ordered the court to take the wife to the thermal pavilion next to the side hall to rest.

The fifth madam and the fifth madam should rest here together. The eleventh mother and the fifth madam will discuss it, and I will go to the side hall to wait for the banquet to begin. When the time comes, please ask the madam and the fifth madam to sit down together and then leave.

Even though it's the emperor's grace, you can't be too arrogant. It can't be justified that she doesn't show up.

The fifth lady nodded: I will take good care of my mother.

There was a sudden sound outside.

Madam Yongpinghou, Madam Yongpinghou, someone called Eleven Niang into the side hall.

People in the room looked around and saw the princess in a bright red dress embroidered with gold flying in like a butterfly: Where is Brother Jin?

The three of them stood up and bowed to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess immediately supported the madam and said, please sit down quickly to avoid being carried to the back hall like Mrs. Zheng.

The wife was shocked when she heard this: How is Mrs. Zheng doing now?

I don’t know, the eldest princess said, there should be nothing wrong. Otherwise, the people from Taiyuan Hospital should come back to report to Empress Ming. Then she asked Eleven Niang, where is brother Jin? Why can’t I reach him everywhere? He is not in Jiaotai Hall either.

.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: He went out to travel. Why didn’t I know? The eldest princess shouted in surprise, when did he go and where did he come back, and went to the northwest for a walk. Eleven Niang said it very well.

Vague, the specific time to come back depends on the itinerary.

The eldest princess pouted: I asked him why he didn't come to the palace to say hello during the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. I was also planning to let him play Cuju with me during the Chinese New Year. Yagong asked him to play Cuju. That was his blessing. Eleven Niang laughed.

He said, I will try to write a letter to see if I can contact him. If I can, I will get back to the princess.

The eldest princess stamped her feet and left angrily.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly said: Go and find out how Mr. Zheng is doing.

Eleven Niang left in response.

The side hall where the foreigner's wife was resting was buzzing, and everyone was whispering about Zheng Taijun.

Eleven Niang looked for Huang Xianying quietly, but before she could speak, a palace maid hurriedly came over and said, "It's okay. Mrs. Zheng was just short of breath and chest tight for a while. She's fine now."

Huang Xianying took a deep breath.

If something happens today, it will be unlucky.

After getting the letter, Eleven Niang went back and reported it to Mrs. Tai.

The Dowager shook the fifth lady's hand and said: From now on, the fewer such banquets, the better.

Then I'll go talk to the Queen. The fifth lady smiled and said, in this way, you can have a good rest at home.

The lady acquiesced.

There was a burst of laughter from the side hall, and someone asked loudly: Why can’t I see Madam Yongpinghou? Where has she been hiding?

The Eleventh Mother was stunned, exchanged glances with the Fifth Madam, and hurried over.

The speaker was Mrs. Tang Si.

Eleven Niang stepped forward and patted her shoulder: It was so loud that it scared me.

Mrs. Tang Si chuckled.

Someone on the side said: Congratulations to Mrs. Yongping Hou, Long Live Lord opened the golden mouth and made your sixth boy, Xiaoling Weidu Commander, the fourth rank. Hereditary, no replacement. The eleventh mother's heart skipped a beat.

The Xiaoling Guard is an organization that specializes in solving the employment problem of the sons and princesses of the emperor's relatives. It is said to guard the tombs of the ancestors. In fact, the people guarding the tombs there are the generals of the household army. They are hereditary and have no responsibility.

The military attachés were just wearing official uniforms and accompanying the emperor when he went to offer sacrifices. There was the Fengxian Hall, Zhai Palace, and the Temple of Heaven and Earth in the palace. The emperor could not even go to the mausoleum palace in ten years, so people like them just went there every day.

Staying at home and taking a dry lunch is more leisurely than Xishan Camp. Xishan Camp at least has to live in the camp, and at least be taken out to practice physical fitness. The people of Xiaolingwei don't even use Mao, so why not?

No need to do it.

Who did you hear this from? She was in such a state of panic that she didn’t know what happened, let alone how she said these words. I had never heard of it before. It just came from the inner study room. Tang Si

nǎǎi said with a smile, Eunuch He has asked someone to write the imperial edict and send it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The documents from the Ministry of Civil Affairs should arrive in the next two days. She said and laughed twice. You will have to set up a few banquets by then.

Just treat us to a few meals.

If it’s true, you can eat as many meals as your sister says.” Eleven Niang said, but she doesn’t know how this word came out.

It was Mrs. Gan Tai's sister-in-law who really spoke. She smiled and said, The emperor summoned several ministers in the study, and the eldest princess asked someone to stop Yongping Hou from asking for someone. The emperor knew that Yongping Hou sent your sixth young master away.

Jiayuguan, I decreed that your sixth young master would be made the commander of the army. Before she could say anything, the eldest princess broke in.

Madam Yongpinghou, Madam Yongpinghou, please bring brother Jin back soon. She said proudly that the father had granted him the title of Commander of the Xiaoling Guards and asked him to come back to pick up the saint. Eleven Niang’s mind is now

luànluàn. I don’t know what the emperor means. What do you think of Brother Jin’s visit to Jiayuguan? What are Xu Lingyi’s thoughts and plans?

She could only bend her knees and salute to thank the eldest princess.

The eldest princess took her hand before she knelt down: Just remember to ask him to come back soon. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I made an appointment with the imperial brothers to play Cuju in Dongyuan. He must come, otherwise I will definitely lose.

of.

Eleven Niang responded respectfully, but felt bitter in her heart.

The eldest princess left happily. Huang Xianying asked her to speak to her on the order of the empress.

The Emperor is the father of all people, and his martial arts and martial arts are renowned all over the world. How could he arbitrarily award a reward just because of a word from the Grand Duke? The Queen's words were very reserved. The Emperor knew very well what kind of person Yongping Marquis was. This time, he was just taking advantage of Longevity.

It's just a matter of smooth sailing. Go back and tell Marquis Yongping, let him happily accept the order and leave. I'm still in the palace.

The Eleventh Mother looked at the Queen Mother's demure and gentle face, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart: I don't know if you can do it, but she didn't dare to kneel down to thank you.

The queen smiled with satisfaction.
