After leaving the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Qing Wu went to the Prince Ruyang's Mansion, the Duke Hengguo's Mansion, the Zuo Xiang's Mansion, and the Hu Sinong's family who had gone to Nanling together with her.
Oh, he is no longer Hu Sinong. Now Hu Sinong has been promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of Revenue.
These families were of course overjoyed to receive the food boxes personally delivered by Qingwu. This was such a great blessing!
In just half a day, the news that Princess Yan sent New Year's food to several families spread to all the major officials' residences.
The officials were eagerly waiting, they also wanted to share in this blessing!!
But many people still have self-awareness. They know what kind of people they have been in the imperial court. They are lucky that they have not been dismissed from office. Do they still want to eat the New Year food sent by the princess?
Dream on!
But there are some who are quick-witted. They don't have the nerve to ask Princess Yan to come to their house in person to deliver New Year food to them, but they can take the initiative!
Some of those who are close to these families, the shy ones ask their female relatives to bring New Year gifts to their homes in advance, while the thick-skinned ones just go there themselves!
This is the situation that the Prince of Ruyang encountered.
After washing her hands, bathing and burning incense, Old Lady She opened the food box herself. Her solemn attitude was so serious that no one in the mansion felt surprised.
Princess Ruyang of the eldest house, Madam of the second house, and Master Chu and others all stood respectfully by their side, while Chu Xiuwen also waited by their side with a look of curiosity on his face.
Everyone was eagerly waiting, because this was sent by Princess Yan herself!
When the food box is opened, a unique fragrance wafts to the face. The fragrance makes people's appetite grow. It is like nectar soaking through the body and mind, bringing indescribable comfort.
Old Lady She's eyes lit up. As she was old, her energy was inevitably weak, but after smelling the strange fragrance of the oil, she felt relaxed all over and even had a lot more strength.
Although I had guessed that the food Qing Wu sent must not be ordinary, but after experiencing it personally, the shock was still indescribable.
"Mom, please share it quickly, it smells so good."
Old Lady She glared at Master Chu, and Master Chu immediately behaved himself.
The food Qing Wu sent was raw food. Old Lady She had already asked someone to prepare a small red clay stove, put a ceramic jar on it, and cooked it herself.
One jar of dumplings and one jar of glutinous rice balls.
There are ten of each, which is not a lot.
The population of the Prince of Ruyang was not large, so it was enough for everyone to have a taste. Obviously, no one would be so blind as to think that Qing Wu gave too little.
In fact, the dumplings and glutinous rice balls that Qing Wu personally sent were indeed not ordinary items. The flour was ground from the fairy valley picked from the Ten Continents and Three Island, the stuffing was from magical plants and vegetables, and the sugar stuffing in the glutinous rice balls was made from the ghost honey brewed by wasps.
Eating one glutinous rice dumpling can add ten years to your life.
It is no exaggeration to say that some minor illnesses and pains can be cured on the spot.
Old Lady She was the oldest, and only after she ate first did the younger generations dare to pick up their chopsticks. The old lady took a bite of the dumplings and was instantly shocked by the delicious taste.
But the most shocking thing was not the taste.
Princess Ruyang was the first to notice it. She looked at her mother-in-law in surprise and said, "Mother, you look a lot younger."
Chu Xiuwen was also surprised: "Grandma really looks radiant."
Without waiting for the servants to find a mirror, Old Lady She took a look at herself in the mirror. Even someone as steady as she was let out a cry of surprise.
"Could it be this year's food..."
The old lady was very surprised, and the others saw this and quickly took a bite of the dumplings that they were given.
"Sister-in-law, your skin has become better."
"The spots on your face are gone too..."
Uncle Chu: "I feel like I have endless energy! I was having morning sickness before, but after taking this, I am all better now!"
"Mom, here are my glutinous rice balls for you." Although Chu Xiuwen was also envious of their efficacy, seeing his mother so happy, he immediately gave the glutinous rice balls to his mother and prepared to give the remaining dumplings to his grandmother.
"You kid, eat your own food."
How could Old Lady She and Princess Ruyang want a grandson (son)? But the child's filial piety still made them very happy.
Uncle Chu looked at the remaining glutinous rice balls in the bowl. He was going to share them with his wife, but now his wife is pregnant, so he needs to nourish her well.
But my mother...
Old Lady She glared at him and said, "Why are you looking at me? Are you worried about your wife? She is eating alone and the three of them are nourished!"
"Mother..." Madam Xu's face was filled with emotion. The old lady gave her more than others.
"Listen to mother and eat more. You are the one who suffers the most right now." Grandpa Chu shared the dumplings with his wife.
Princess Ruyang saw this and didn't think it was a big deal. She just wanted to see her husband who was far away from her fiefdom. She looked at the remaining uncooked food and felt a little embarrassed.
How could Old Lady She not understand?
"Don't worry, I'll give the rest to the boss. It's winter now, so it won't go bad even if it's frozen by snow."
"Thank you, mother." Princess Ruyang thanked her quickly.
The family was in harmony and happiness. Old Lady She said with emotion: "Why thank me? We should thank Princess Yan more. This is a great blessing!"
Everyone nodded. They felt that they had shown too much kindness to the princess.
Just when the mansion was celebrating, a servant came to report.
"Old lady, the old lady from the Xifeng Marquis's residence is here. She said she's here to give the New Year's gift in advance."
Everyone in the room looked at each other, and how could Old Lady She not be confused?
"How can we send gifts to people on New Year's Eve? The West Wind Marquis's Mansion is just coveting the treasures that Princess Yan gave us!"
Uncle Chu's expression changed: "They wish!"
That’s just wishful thinking!
Old Lady She touched her younger face and laughed, "It doesn't matter. It's good for them to know how blessed my Ruyang Palace is!"
"It's a blessing bestowed by Princess Yan, they can only think about it~"
On New Year's Eve, all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital were infected with the disease.
Pink eye!
