Xia Tian and Madam Xu had a conversation outside the door, and Master Xu came out and asked them to come in.
The two of them went into the house.
Wen Jin is feeling much better now.
Fortunately, the heavy bleeding was stopped right after it started, so he looked more energetic.
"Xia Tian, thank you! You saved me again." Wen Jin took Xia Tian's hand and thanked him.
After knowing each other for just over a year, Xia Tian saved Wen Jin three times.
I don’t know what kind of fate this is?
Wen Jin didn't know how to express her gratitude to Xia Tian at this moment.
"Xia Tian, can I let my son recognize you as his godmother?" Wen Jin suddenly thought of this good idea. Her son would become Xia Tian's godson in the future, and it would be natural for him to respect her.
"Cough cough cough!" Xia Tian choked on his own saliva.
Wen Jin and Madam Xu are truly a family. They have the same idea. One wants to adopt her as her goddaughter, and the other wants her son to adopt her as his godmother.
Mrs. Xu quickly patted Xia Tian on the back a few times.
After Xia Tian stopped coughing, Mrs. Xu smiled and told Wen Jin her thoughts.
Wen Jin was delighted and thought both were fine.
If Mrs. Xu adopted Xia Tian as her goddaughter, she would be her sister-in-law, and her son would have to call her aunt and show filial respect to her in the same way.
"Mom, yours is even better!" Wen Jin said, "From now on, our Xu family will be Xia Tian's family, so we can legitimately support her."
Madam Xu nodded. "That's right. Xia's family is far away. Our Xu Mansion will be her family home from now on. We naturally can't let others bully us."
Xia Tian didn't say a word, and the decision was made by the two of them.
In the evening, Xia Tian told Chen Nian that Madam Xu wanted to take her in as her goddaughter.
Ana Shen pondered for a moment and nodded, “Well, this is a good thing.”
Shen Nian felt that if Xia Tian accepted Madam Xu as her godmother, then those who used their status to slander her would have to restrain themselves in the future.
A few days later, Mrs. Xu came to discuss the matter of adopting a daughter in person.
Xia Tian was surprised. She was quite impatient. She thought they had to wait until Wen Jin was out of confinement.
Mrs. Xu came here today to discuss something with the old lady.
When the old lady heard the purpose of Madam Xu's visit, she was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, her face was filled with smiles. "Madam Xu, this is great news! It's a blessing for that girl that you can adopt her as your goddaughter!"
The old lady has always felt that Xia Tian's background is not worthy of their Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Now that Madam Xu can adopt her as her goddaughter, it will sound better when she tells others about it in the future.
"Madam, since you agree, shall we choose an auspicious day to carry out the recognition of relatives?" Mrs. Xu asked with a smile.
The old lady smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
After everything was agreed upon, Mrs. Xu left first.
Xia Tian also began to prepare gifts for Prime Minister Xu and Madam Xu.
Mrs. Xu has chosen a date, which is the sixth day of September.
The relationship was recognized at Prime Minister Xu’s residence that day.
On that day, the elders and important family members from both sides attended the ceremony.
Prime Minister Xu and Madam Xu prepared new clothes, a complete set of head ornaments, jade pendants and other items as gifts for Xia Tian.
Xia Tian originally wanted to prepare a purse or something she embroidered herself, but she really couldn't do it, so she could only make a pair of shoes for Prime Minister Xu and Madam Xu under the guidance of Ningxiang and other maids.
Prime Minister Xu liked painting, so he drew another landscape painting for him.
She personally chose the gifts for other people and couldn't make them by hand.
But it's all thoughtfulness, and no one cares.
Soon, the recognition ceremony was over, and Mrs. Xu arranged for the two families to have a meal together. From then on, they became godparents.
On September 12, the emperor summoned Xia Tian and Shen Nian into the palace.
Xia Tian was a little confused and didn't know why the emperor summoned them to the palace.
Shen Nian was also unclear.
When I arrived at the emperor's study, I saw that Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Zhang were also there.
It seems that the plague in the south is over.
After paying his respects to the emperor, he waited for him to speak.
"Chu Xuan, I summoned you and Madam Shen here today because I have something to tell you." The emperor walked out from behind the table, "This is also to seek your opinions."
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions. I will follow your arrangements in everything." Shen Nian said respectfully.
"Your Majesty's orders will also be obeyed." Xia Tian quickly agreed.
"Okay, then I won't say any more." The emperor walked around to the back of the imperial desk and said, "Eunuch Xu, please announce the decree!"
Eunuch Xu stepped forward and took out the imperial edict he had prepared long ago. "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Shen Nian is appointed Governor of Linzhou, and Madam Shen is granted the title of Second Rank Imperial Consort. She shall take office immediately."
Shen Nian paused for a moment, then took the imperial edict with both hands, "I accept the order!"
Linzhou was the provincial capital that Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Zhang went to, and it was also the place where the plague outbreak was most serious.
"Chu Xuan, do you know why I asked you to go there?" The emperor asked after he finished reading the decree.
Shen Nian clasped his hands together and said, "I don't know, please tell me clearly, Your Majesty!"
"It's like this. Although the two imperial doctors brought the plague under control, the former governor, Lord Luo, was a figurehead, completely disregarding the lives of the people. He allowed the plague to spread and concealed the truth, resulting in the deaths of countless people.
At present, Lord Luo has been imprisoned by me, and Linzhou is left without anyone to manage it. I need a trustworthy person to help me handle the follow-up matters, settle the people, and let the people of Linzhou return to their previous state of life."
Xia Tian's eyes dimmed slightly. So that's how it was. No wonder Lord Luo and Madam Luo came to celebrate the Queen's birthday. I guess they were summoned to the capital by the Emperor at that time!
