Chapter 984: Rummaging through the trash can is justified
Tang Bao glanced at Madam Xia.
Mrs. Xia looked embarrassed.
"I understand. Let's go down." Tang Bao said to the outside of the carriage.
"Yes, Princess."
The servant agreed and returned to the guest house.
"Mother, do you believe it now? He just wants to do me a favor, so why would he have any hardship?" Xia Siya said, "You didn't see how eager those candidates were to have the food cooked by Sister Fuya back in Qingzhou Prefecture."
"Come to think of it, it was still autumn then, so the weather wasn't too cold. How about now?"
"It's so cold, and it's so important to have a hot meal to eat during the exam!"
"Maybe just because of this meal, I'll have a burst of inspiration and make the list!"
"Such a big favor, even if it's a gift, it should belong to Sister Fu Ya, but he has the nerve to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha..."
Xia Siya couldn't help but curl her lips when she finished speaking.
Madam Xia rubbed her forehead.
The originally embarrassed expression turned into a headache after hearing what his daughter said.
With my daughter being like this, will she be able to get along with her husband after marriage?
You know, after getting married, a woman not only has to take care of her husband and children, but also has to share her husband's worries.
This sharing of worries also includes helping men to rise to the top and have a smooth career.
It is very cost-effective for the son-in-law of the Bai family to exchange a few meals for the favor of Prime Minister Zheng's legitimate son.
My daughter is so disgusted by these things. How can she rely on Fu Ya in the future? No, how can she rely on the power of the Third Prince?
Mrs. Xia had already realized that the reason why the Bai family chose her daughter was because of Tang Bao.
Mrs. Xia also came from a wealthy family, so she naturally knew that wealthy families would leverage each other's power and sell favors to each other.
Even intermarriage to consolidate relations is a common method.
So much so that even after he understood the reason why the Bai family wanted to marry his daughter, he did not refuse the marriage.
As a mother, she was also happy to see her daughter get a good marriage thanks to Fuya.
Madam Xia looked at Tang Bao and said, "Fuya, since your brother-in-law has already agreed to go out, he must not break his promise. Otherwise, he will create enmity with the Zheng family..."
"Mom, what brother-in-law?" Xia Siya shouted, "We haven't gotten married yet!"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Xia glared at her daughter.
I decided to go back and slowly teach my daughter how to help men.
Xia Siya reluctantly closed her mouth, remained silent and autistic.
Madam Xia continued, "Besides, the Zheng family owes a favor to your brother-in-law, and your brother-in-law owes a favor to your sister, and then to the Xia family. In this way, the Bai family will naturally look up to your sister..."
"This way, your sister's life in her husband's family will be much easier after she gets married... In the end, your sister will be the one who benefits from this."
After listening to what Mrs. Xia said, Tang Bao understood what she meant.
"Godmother is right. We are young and don't think so much." Tang Bao said with a smile: "This is not a big deal. If I can help Sister Siya, let alone a few meals, I won't refuse any matter how difficult it is."
When the eldest lady of the Bai family came to our house in person, our family did not agree and directly gave the favor to the Xia family. What's more, it is even more so now.
Mrs. Xia was very pleased. She touched Tang Bao's head and said, "Godmother also knows that your brother-in-law is a little too utilitarian in this matter. But in the Zheng family, no matter who you ask, no one will refuse."
"Now that the Zheng family's eldest son has come to your brother-in-law for help, he naturally can't refuse. It's better to agree to it. This will actually do the Zheng family a favor..."
Tang Bao thought about it and felt that what her godmother said was right.
If the Zheng family's eldest son had not begged Bai Shuzhi for help today, he would have turned around and sent a message to the imperial concubine.
After all, his identity has been exposed.
If the imperial concubine asks, I can't refuse.
Although Tang Bao had thought it through, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about what Bai Shuzhi had done.
Isn’t it just to do the Zheng family a favor?
Just say it!
Why do you make excuses for not having enough to eat?!
Not pleasant at all!
At this time, the Zheng family was also discussing this matter.
"Did I really agree to it?" Prime Minister Zheng asked his son.
"I agreed." Young Master Zheng said proudly, "Brother Bai agreed very readily."
"That's good." Prime Minister Zheng nodded and said, "The Bai family is quite smart. They established a relationship with Princess Ford very early on."
After saying this, he sighed again, "Although Princess Ford is young, she is indeed not to be underestimated."
As Zheng Shoufu spoke, he remembered what his mother had said.
Then, he looked at his second son.
Although his son was much older than Princess Fude, considering the status of the Zheng family, marrying a little girl like that was considered a low status.
After all, although Princess Fude has the title of princess, she is not of high birth and has no family background and support.
Fortunately, this little girl knows medicine and is favored by those in the palace.
If she could marry into the Zheng family, it wouldn't be considered an injustice to her son.
What's more, that little girl might have the medicinal ingredient in the ancient recipe...
Prime Minister Zheng's eyes flickered, revealing a thoughtful expression.
In the palace.
Emperor Tianxi sat in front of the imperial desk, quietly listening to the reports from the people below.
"...How the food cooked automatically, or how the warming patch heated up, the scholar didn't explain, only saying it was a secret of Fude Academy..."
If Tang Bao were here, she would definitely recognize that this person was the ordinary-looking man she met at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.
"Fude Academy..." Emperor Tianxi tapped the table with his right hand, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "This little girl Fuya always surprises me... Fortunately, she has a kind heart and is blessed by heaven. This is a blessing for our Great Yan."
The man kneeling on the ground felt a chill in his heart when he heard what Emperor Tianxi said.
Being praised so highly by the Emperor, Princess Fude will probably have even greater fortunes in the future.
The man immediately decided that he must not offend this little girl.
"Tell Yuan Shaoqing to pay close attention to how the food is cooked," Emperor Tianxi ordered. "Also, collect the used self-heating warming patches and send them to..."
Emperor Tianxi pondered for a moment before saying, "Send it to the Ministry of War."
"yes!"
The man was more and more shocked. He agreed and bowed to leave.
Yuan Shaoqing was the chief examiner of this spring examination.
Although, at the beginning of the Spring Examination, all the chief examiners, deputy examiners and others were isolated and could not meet outsiders at will.
However, with the emperor's handwritten order, naturally no one dared to stop the man from seeing Yuan Shaoqing.
After receiving the emperor's oral order, Yuan Shaoqing nodded in agreement.
In fact, even without the emperor conveying his order, Yuan Shaoqing himself would have been puzzled to death.
It’s just that I didn’t feel comfortable looking through the trash can for old posts.
Now with the emperor's decree, Yuan Shaoqing was in high spirits and full of fighting spirit.
Even if you're rummaging through the trash, you'd be justified, right?
