When Yang heard her daughter's laughter, she hurried in. Seeing her smiling foolishly while holding the inconspicuous purse, she also laughed.
He reached out and picked up the child, then took a closer look at the purse, which was made of satin, with a red background and black patterns, and looked a little old.
Who gave it to her?
No one in her family had such a purse! It was even more impossible for someone in the palace to give her such an old one.
"Xiaoxiao! Where did you get this purse?" Yang was very curious and muttered to herself, "Mother, I remember there was no purse yesterday? How come there is one last night?"
[I got this from the old man with tears in my eyes. This is Xiaoxiao's thing. It's so precious. I had to make a fuss to get it back.]
After listening to her daughter's thoughts, Yang stopped asking questions. She always mentioned an old man, who she didn't know, but he must have loved her daughter.
[Oh my! How can I tell my mother that this thing is more important than my life? Will my family members just throw it away? If they do, I will cry to death.]
Yang subconsciously glanced at the purse and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao likes it so much, can I sew it on your bellyband later?"
Naituanzi's eyes lit up, and then he smiled and nodded.
[My mother still has a solution. She sewed it on the bellyband. Don’t lose it. ]
Knowing that this thing was very important to her daughter, Yang immediately found needle and thread and sewed the purse into the pocket of the bellyband. If no one looked carefully, no one could tell that there was a purse hidden in the bag and they would think it was something else.
After sewing it, Chu Xiaoxiao clapped her hands, smiled with joy, stood up, and gave Yang a kiss on the face.
[Ahaha! Mother is so smart! This way it won't be lost, the Qiankun bag will always be with Xiaoxiao.]
Yang: “…”
Qiankun Bag? That purse has a rather overbearing name. No wonder my daughter values it so much.
Seeing the child smiling happily, she felt happy too.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May. The emperor led civil and military officials to watch the dragon boat race and brought Chu Xiaoxiao with him.
The prince held her and sat next to the emperor, but the little girl couldn't sit still and had to walk by herself with the help of something.
Today she was wearing a pink dress and still had her hair tied in a bun. In order to make her look cuter, Yang specially used lip balm to put a small red dot on her forehead.
The white and plump little ball of milk, with a little red between the eyebrows, is particularly eye-catching.
It looks just like the fat baby riding on the back of a carp in the New Year pictures. Everyone who sees it has to praise it.
The ministers have been very honest during this period, and the emperor has already taken action against several of them. The first minister of the six ministries to be removed was the Minister of Revenue, who was definitely the emperor's confidant.
Then the Minister of War was also removed, for the same reason: he was just a figurehead and did nothing.
The two dismissed ministers were both in tears. In the past, they would have dared to resist and join forces with several related ministers to come to the emperor to persuade, put pressure on and plead for mercy.
But this time they didn't dare to do so. Whoever they approached declined politely. It was because the Duke of Protectorate was too powerful. If the emperor noticed it and dug up some old accounts, they would be in big trouble.
The two ministers also remembered the fear of the Duke of the Protectorate, so they could only keep their tails between their legs and keep silent. They were all thousand-year-old foxes, and they all knew how many tails they had. If they really went to the emperor to appeal, it would not be impossible for them to have their property confiscated and be exiled if they angered him.
They were withdrawn when they were withdrawn and demoted when they were demoted, and they had no complaints. Thunder, lightning, rain and dew were all grace from the emperor.
After the fifth day, an emergency report came on the sixth day that heavy rains had hit southern Jiangsu and several counties had been hit by floods.
The emperor immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the matter, and they all agreed that it would be most appropriate to let Duke Rong Yang Heng go to provide disaster relief.
Yang Heng was stunned. He felt that what his niece Xiaoxiao said was really accurate. There really was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River in May.
After receiving the imperial edict, Yang Heng took the disaster relief funds and troops out of the city and headed for Jiangnan. The situation was urgent, so Yang took Chu Xiaoxiao to the city gate to see him off.
Before leaving, Chu Xiaoxiao took out a amulet from her pocket and put it into Yang Heng's hand.
Afraid that he would lose it, he shouted "Ah" at him and patted his chest, meaning that he should keep the amulet on his chest.
Yang Heng understood and did as he was told. After putting it away, he showed it to his niece: "Look, uncle put it there very securely. It won't fall off."
Chu Xiaoxiao nodded and smiled happily.
[Uncle! Remember what I said before! Be careful when providing disaster relief this time. Remember to buy quicklime and burn the bodies. Boil the water and let it cool before drinking. Do not drink raw water.]
Yang Heng felt warm in his heart and felt that his niece was sent by God to save him.
Yang also reminded him: "Brother! Take good care of yourself when you go out. Safety is the first priority. No matter what happens, you must take care of yourself. Don't worry at home, your parents are here."
"Okay! I'll remember it."
After saying this, he mounted his horse and led his men out of the city.
Watching her elder brother walk away, Yang felt a little lonely and sighed, "I don't know if this trip will go smoothly, elder brother."
Pearl, who was following beside her, smiled and comforted her: "Madam! Don't worry, everything will go well."
Chu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously and said "hmm" twice. Her serious look was so funny that it made people laugh.
[Mother! Xiaoxiao gave uncle a peace charm! No matter what happens, uncle will be safe. Even river monsters can't hurt him, don't worry! Ah! ]
River monster? Yang's heart skipped a beat. She looked at her daughter nervously, wanting to ask something but not daring to ask casually for fear of arousing her suspicion.
I can only bear it.
The child told her not to worry and she should be at ease.
Don't underestimate this child because he is young. He is more capable than anyone else.
The amulet should have been taken out of the Qiankun bag, right? The Qiankun bag was clearly empty when I sewed it for her, so why was there an amulet?
Her Xiaoxiao is amazing, a real fairy.
Thinking of this, Yang felt a little happier and got into the carriage to go home with Chu Xiaoxiao in her arms.
The eighth day of the first lunar month was the day when Chu Zhiyin and Jiang Chenjue had their engagement ceremony.
Jiang Chenjue had no parents, and he did not inform Marquis Pingning, but came to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion with the betrothal gifts on his own.
He prepared eighty-eight loads of betrothal gifts, each of which was made of real gold and silver. Some of it was his mother's dowry, and some of it was what he had saved over the years.
The old duke and the old lady were happy for their daughter. Although she was getting married for the second time, her husband treated her so sincerely, which was a great blessing for her.
Chu Zhiyin entertained Jiang Chenjue with a smile. They were both not young anymore, so they wanted to get married as quickly as possible.
The engagement will be given on the eighth day of May, and the wedding will take place on the eighth day of August. Jiang Chenjue has already chosen the date and brought it over along with the betrothal gifts.
He is not young anymore, and now that he has decided on a wife, he wants to marry her as soon as possible.
The old lady and the old duke both understood and nodded in agreement, which made Jiang Chenjue very happy and he kept grinning foolishly.
Chu Zhiyin glared at him: "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"
Jiang Chenjue replied: "Happy! By this time next year, maybe we will have a child."
