Chapter 352 I Got the Cabbage
San Ya just came back and had a lot to say, from meeting to dinner.
"The princess is kind and gives me snacks and fruits, but she cries a little too much, like she's made of water."
"The prince is my little brother, and he's also a crybaby. When I left, he insisted on following me to the capital, crying so hard that I shed a few tears too."
"The duck in Jinling is really delicious! But my dad said it's too hot to bring back. I'll take you there to eat some later!"
After dinner, she was still talking.
Daya said she missed her, so she took her back to her room, closed the door and let her talk enough.
Yun Ting and Er Ya continued to study the hair dye, and Xiao Yan couldn't wait to start...
The clouds cleared and the rain stopped. Lu Qiniang came out of the bath and lay on the kang waiting for Xiao Yan to take a bath.
"Abandoned Mother, it's time to get a bigger bathtub at home." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"That's all you're thinking about." Lu Qiniang scolded with a smile, "I'm thinking about the Fifth Young Master's mother."
In Jinling, Xiao Yan went to great lengths to finally find Du's original home.
But surprisingly, Mrs. Du did not return home.
The fifth young master's biological father had clearly sent someone to escort Du back home.
"I'll talk to him about this matter after I see him tomorrow," Xiao Yan said. "Have him investigate who escorted his mother south that year and see if there's any clues."
If not, then it is probably impossible to find this relative.
The world is so big that finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, more than 20 years have passed, and things and people have changed. It is even possible that the person is no longer with us...
All we can do is keep a thought and hope, hoping that fate will have mercy on us and that mother and son will be reunited.
Lu Qiniang sighed, "I originally thought that if she were here, the Fifth Young Master would have a relative. Someone would also be anxiously arranging his marriage..."
"But," she changed the subject, "we've done our best, the rest is up to fate."
She also told the story of how Zhang Heyao had escaped death twice.
"Can you blame me? Shunzi asked me to see him for the last time, saying he was going to die soon. Who would have thought that after a few days, he would actually get better?"
"I don't blame you." Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing.
He found it funny to think that Zhang Heyao was mistaken for a ghost today.
Zhang Heyao must be very depressed now.
"He escaped disaster twice. I think it's because my parents chose a good location for their grave. My father asked a feng shui master to help him choose it when he was alive! When we are a hundred years old, I will also ask someone to choose a good place for us to bless our three girls to be safe and sound."
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, "Okay."
This is what Lu Qiniang said, the heart of a mother.
Even if I think about death, I must think about blessing my daughters after death.
Xiao Yan wiped the water off his body, came up and hugged Lu Qiniang, sighing with satisfaction.
"Stop touching me and talk properly." Lu Qiniang said, "I'm talking to you about serious matters!"
"No delay, you say."
Lu Qi Niang: “…”
You moved around so much that I forgot what I was going to say, okay?
Xiao Yan said, "Then I'll go first. Prince Yan originally wanted to keep us for a few more days, but I wanted to rush back before Sanya's birthday so that the whole family can celebrate her birthday together."
"Your birthday has passed." Lu Qiniang said, "I'll make you a bowl of longevity noodles tomorrow."
"Okay." Xiao Yan couldn't help but pinch her waist.
It’s better to go home.
"By the way, I want to talk to you about Daya and the prince." Lu Qiniang said, "This matter can't be delayed any longer."
The emperor is always busy.
This autumn, Dai Qi escorted the grain boats to Beijing again and came to Lu Qiniang's shop twice.
The problem mentioned before has not actually been solved.
"Xiao Yan, you're right. The emperor doesn't always say anything he wants. He's always busy, so I thought, since the prince has returned to the capital, we should quickly resolve Daya's issue so that I don't feel uneasy."
"Okay. I'll go find Jiang Xuan tomorrow."
Xiao Yan had also thought about this issue and had a rough idea of it.
I don’t know what these two people discussed, but Xiao Yan came back and said that Jiang Xuan had already started to take action.
At the same time, a rumor began to circulate that Zhang Heyao submitted a memorial to the emperor, impeaching more than 30 officials in Henan for corruption and bribery, embezzling funds for flood control, enriching themselves, and failing to take responsibility and acting arbitrarily after the epidemic broke out. Almost all important officials were implicated.
His impeachment is not just empty talk, he has evidence.
When he went to court, Zhang Heyao carried thirty or forty kilograms of evidence, all of which he had investigated and sorted out.
No one was not shocked, including the emperor.
No one expected that Zhang Heyao, despite being so busy and having survived a near-death experience, could still conduct such a thorough investigation.
First of all, his ability is irrefutable.
Secondly, he was courageous and single-handedly challenged the entire Henan officialdom.
Shocked the government and the public.
The emperor was furious and sent an imperial envoy, escorted by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, back to Henan to thoroughly investigate the matter.
After this battle, Zhang Heyao became famous.
In the shop, Lu Qinniang heard many people praising him, calling him a great and upright official.
Zhang Heyao's reputation among the people reached its peak.
Lu Qiniang was quite relieved to hear that.
Fortunately, Zhang Heyao only let her down and did not let down the people of the world.
Compared to that, those old things are nothing.
Just after San Ya’s birthday, on the fourth night of the New Year, the emperor suddenly brought Teng Wenfu to Lu Qi’s mother’s home.
"It's been a long time since I saw you." Lu Qiniang was overjoyed. She repeatedly asked the emperor to take a seat and asked Daya to add a few more dishes.
"Don't bother. I just came out after dinner today." The emperor waved his hand. "You don't have to be restrained. Please sit down."
"Okay, okay." Lu Qiniang sat down at the emperor's feet. "How are you feeling? It's getting cold, so you should take it easy. I'll ask San Ya to invite Old Hu to come and see you."
The emperor nodded, "Abandoned Mother, I still feel at ease here with you."
Lu Qinniang asked Erya to ask for Doctor Hu, and peeled a tangerine for the emperor. "Then come more often when you are free. Just tell me what you want to eat. I don't treat you as the emperor, but as a filial grandfather."
"Oh," the emperor laughed, stroking his beard and teasing Xiao Yan, "it seems that the cabbage has been pushed up and there is no difference between them."
Before, it was all about your grandfather, but now it’s completely changed.
Lu Qi's mother wasn't shy either, and said carelessly, "It's okay, I'll give birth to a big fat boy next year for you to hold and play with."
Don’t old people like children and a lively home?
The emperor likes her to be open and frank, so she doesn't act shy.
The emperor laughed so hard that he started coughing.
Teng Wenfu quickly helped him calm down.
"It would be great if I were not the emperor." The emperor sighed.
"That won't do. They're all counting on you! Not everyone can be an emperor, and a good emperor is hard to come by." Lu Qiniang said, "I wish you a long life. We will all have a good life with you."
"Abandoned mother, you have learned to speak too."
"To be honest, I never say those empty words." Lu Qinniang vowed.
"I trust you, I trust you. But I'm coming here today, and I'm afraid you might dislike me."
