Chapter 159: Lady of Imperial Noble Order
The villagers of Jiangjia Village had never seen such an intricately decorated and luxurious carriage, so they were inevitably curious.
But they knew in their hearts that the people who could ride in such a carriage could not be described as wealthy, but were truly powerful. They were a little worried that trouble would be caused by onlookers, so they put away their curiosity and even told the children who were running around outside to go home so as not to offend the noble man.
After arriving home, he closed the gate and then secretly peeked out from behind the wall to see what this distinguished person was doing in Jiangjia Village.
Seeing the carriage stop and go, and finally get off at Jiang Youcheng's house, a woman surrounded by servants entered his yard holding a one-year-old child. The people in Jiangjia Village looked at each other in surprise.
What good luck does Jiang Youcheng have that attracts such a noble person?
Just as the villagers were staring at each other, Jiang Zhengxin hurried over. Seeing those people clinging to the wall and looking at them, he quickly shouted, "Go home quickly. This is your wife with an imperial decree. Don't just stare at her here. You're causing trouble."
When everyone heard this, they quickly retracted their heads, but they still talked about it.
"Madam of the Imperial Court? What is that?"
"I've heard in operas that only the wives of high-ranking officials in the capital can receive imperial decrees."
"Tsk, that must be higher than the status of our county magistrate's wife."
"Of course, it's much higher. It's like one is in heaven and the other is underground."
"Hey, you see, this imperial lady is so powerful, what does she eat and wear on a daily basis?"
"Of course there is plenty of chicken, duck, fish and meat every day. You can pick whatever you want. I guess the bowls they use for eating must be silver bowls."
"My goodness, you must have done something good in your previous life to be reborn as someone like him in this life."
"Don't mention it. I don't think there will be one in our village in the future."
"Who is it?"
"Don't ask, just wait and see..."
The villagers outside were talking about it. When Jiang Mixia and her family saw the lady in gorgeous clothes, they all looked at each other in confusion. It was not until they saw the child in the lady's arms that Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun reacted.
"Is this the young man who was nearly kidnapped by kidnappers in Liyang County?"
"It's the child." Mrs. Cao Luo nodded with a smile, then put Cao Jinzhuo in her arms on the ground, lifted her clothes and knelt on the ground.
"No, no."
Jiang Mixia and Liu hurried to stop them.
Jiang Zhengxin came in a hurry just now, and Jiang Mixia's family knew that the visitors were the wife and children of Lord Cao, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the capital. They were of great background, and Mrs. Cao even had an imperial decree, so her status was extremely noble.
Such people should kneel down to peasants and common people like them...
"My wife and husband are my son's saviors. As his biological mother, I should kneel down and thank them. This is reasonable and logical, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Luo said, "Today I am not Madam Cao, nor am I a royal lady. I am just a mother of a child. Is there anything wrong with a mother coming to thank her benefactor?"
Seeing that Luo was determined to do so, and the smile on her face was very gentle and kind, Jiang Mixia and Liu did not stop her. But after she kowtowed, they hurriedly helped Luo to get up and took her to the main hall to sit down.
Jiang Youcheng and Song Jingyun went to make some tea.
"The tea produced by the tea garden in the west is not as good as the expensive tea, but it is made quite finely. This is winter tea picked in winter, and it tastes refreshing. Madam, please try it."
Jiang Mixia smiled.
Luo tasted it and couldn't help nodding, "It tastes really special."
"I should have come earlier to thank you for my son's matter, but I heard from County Magistrate Tang and County Magistrate Lin that my wife and husband were just passing by, and Mr. Song had to go to take the provincial examination, so I didn't dare to disturb them too much. It just so happened that my younger sister was getting married at that time, so I had to go back to my mother's house first. After all the things at home were settled, I hurried here to thank you in person."
When Luo raised her hand, a group of servants and maids came over with things.
"These are just some ordinary gifts. I hope Madam Jiang, Mr. Song, uncle and aunt will not refuse them." Luo said, "Besides, knowing that Mr. Song won the first place in the provincial capital, I would like to congratulate him."
"My mother's family is a scholarly family with a large collection of books. I brought some from my mother's family this time, and I hope that Mr. Song can use them. If you think reading is helpful, I will have someone send some more over later."
"My husband has no talent, so he has found an official position in the capital. If Mr. Song has any trouble with the imperial examination in the future, you can send a letter to the capital, and my husband and I will definitely do our best to help..."
"You are very polite, ma'am."
Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun looked at each other and replied, "We also noticed something was wrong at the time and didn't want a tragedy to happen. It was just a piece of cake."
It just happened that the person who was rescued was the young master of the Cao family.
"But Madam, you are so kind, it would be disrespectful to refuse. Our family runs a small business, so we are not rich, but we have enough food and clothing. Although I know Madam's deep affection, I would feel guilty if I accepted all your kindness. Since Madam just said that my husband is studying for the imperial examination, we will accept these books, but we really can't accept anything else."
A quick glance at the things sent by Mr. Luo revealed that none of them were ordinary things. Each one could be described as priceless. This showed how much Mr. Luo valued this favor and he was willing to give away everything he had.
but……
It's not a good thing to have something like this in your home.
Jiang Mixia continued, "As Madam said before, my husband is studying for the imperial examination, and Lord Cao is an official in the capital, so it is inevitable that I will disturb Lord Cao at that time."
Luo's slightly frowned brows suddenly smoothed out, and she felt a little relieved.
Cao Jinzhuo was her life, and by saving him, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun saved both her life and her son's.
In Luo's opinion, it would not be excessive to spend all his family wealth to repay such a great favor.
But when he heard the other party's refusal, Luo felt that the favor had not been repaid, and he felt quite anxious.
Fortunately, he heard Madam Jiang mention that she wanted to ask Lord Cao for help in the future.
Naturally, favors must be repaid, and as long as there is a channel to repay the favor, it is a great thing.
What's more, Song Jingyun was the first in the provincial examination. He must be a very talented person and will be outstanding in the imperial examinations in the future. If Song Jingyun can successfully enter the court as an official and have such a relationship with the Cao family, it would be a very good thing.
Although the emperor is now in his prime, the princes are all young and promising. The struggle for the throne is a matter of time. As the Minister of Personnel, Lord Cao has naturally taken a position early. Recommending young and promising people to his master is also the duty of a minister...
ah,
Today is still one update... (The author is too lazy, too lazy - from Jiang Mixia's whisper)
