It is rare that the Empress Dowager wants to enjoy herself with the people, so Su Yueling will certainly satisfy her.
There was a circle of people surrounding the wall with the notice posted on it.
"My daughter is pregnant! She's grown up! Oh my God, there's smoke coming out of our Li family's ancestral grave. I knew my daughter had a future. She's been smarter than my sons since she was a child." The man who spoke said
With a bright smile on his face, he was already an official in the hearts of ordinary people, and he was enough to honor his ancestors. Unexpectedly, before he could enjoy the blessings of a son, he had already enjoyed the blessings of a daughter. The man looked proud, thanks to his firm determination in the past.
My idea is to let my daughter go to school and not be in a hurry to arrange a marriage for her. In the future, I will see what those relatives who looked down on them in the past will have to say.
"Have you passed the exam? Your daughter is really capable. My daughter is not good enough. She just works as a small accounting clerk in our textile factory over there." said the woman next to her.
Others couldn't help but twitch their mouths when they heard this. The accountant in the textile factory can earn at least five taels of silver a month. In the hearts of these ordinary people, it is already the best job. Most men can't earn this kind of money.
Rather than complaining, the woman was clearly showing off to them.
"My daughter is an eighth-grade official!"
Then there was another burst of cheers.
The Queen Mother looked at this scene with a smile on her face, and she seemed to be infected by their emotions.
Although she was not wearing the court uniform of the Empress Dowager, the way she was dressed showed that she was no ordinary person. Looking at the carriage beside her, it clearly bore the mark of the Princess's Palace, and the people immediately became excited.
"You, are you from Princess Qionghua's Mansion?"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Yes, I am her distant relative."
"I came here to Yaozhou specifically to see how she is doing."
The people were even more excited, whispering to each other.
"He is really Princess Qionghua's junior! No wonder he looks so kind."
If their initial favorable impression of Su Youning was due to Su Yueling, then now it is simply because of Su Youning herself. They have seen everything Su Youning has done over the years. She is truly on the side of their people, and she has truly made them
Life is getting better, and life is getting more and more promising.
Su Yueling didn't get off the carriage. Her face was so iconic that she would definitely be recognized as soon as she got off the carriage. Of course, she might be mistaken for You Ning herself. After all, not everyone has seen You Ning.
Hey, who keeps her so young all the time!
When these common people were excited, they gave whatever they had in their hands to the Empress Dowager.
Give this one a handful of green onions, and that one some eggs.
The maids and guards around the Empress Dowager wanted to stop her, but she herself was quite happy and said: "Take it all, this is also their intention."
"Let's use these for dinner tonight."
The Empress Dowager herself was quite down-to-earth. She had no airs when chatting with these common people. Instead, she listened with great interest to their parents and family. If the nuns around her hadn't reminded her, she would have been chatting until the evening.
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said a few words to Nanny Shi beside her.
Grandma Shi took out two tokens.
The Empress Dowager handed it to the two old women with whom she had been chatting most passionately, and said, "If you are free, you can come to Princess Qionghua's mansion to chat with me."
Then he waved his sleeves and got on the carriage.
The two old women were so proud, their backs straightened, that even noble people liked chatting with them!
Due to this delay, Su Yueling and the others would inevitably be a little late when they arrived at the Princess Mansion.
After Su Youning received the news, he naturally went to meet his elders as soon as possible. The entire princess palace is still dressed in plain clothes, obviously they are vegetarian for the emperor.
Su Youning was shocked when she saw the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Gu. She didn't expect that her mother would actually bring these two elders here. This was really... a big deal. Her mother was still as courageous as ever.
But since people are here, of course we have to take good care of them.
The Empress Dowager said kindly: "You are busy with your work, while we have your mother with us."
Having said that, there is nowhere she can go.
As a junior, Su Youning twisted handkerchiefs for them personally and helped them wash themselves.
The banquet in the kitchen has also been prepared.
Although Su Yueling and the others were in good spirits, they had traveled for several days and the weather was hot, so their appetites were average.
Su Yueling mainly ate shrimp dumplings and cold skin, while the Empress Dowager ate the local bamboo tube rice, and the Empress Dowager Gu chose Yaozhou's famous fish noodles.
The news of the arrival of the two giant Buddhas in Yaozhou spread within a few days, causing a sensation throughout Yaozhou. Posts flew into the princess's mansion like snowflakes.
At the level of the Empress Dowager and the others, they can do whatever they want without worrying about what others think.
So they had no intention of meeting at all.
According to the Empress Dowager, it was boring to talk to these officials and their wives. They were all auspicious words such as greetings and compliments. Listening to them over and over again, they were all the same and could make people's ears calluses. She might as well listen to the common people.
There's a quarrel.
However, she took the time to meet with the female officials of the Princess Palace, prepared gifts for each of them, and praised them as good children.
Especially Shen Jingzhu, she even got the bracelet that she took off from her wrist.
She patted Shen Jingzhu and said, "You are very good."
Shen Jingzhu climbed directly to the fifth rank in just a few years, and was promoted faster than men. However, even the male officials in Yaozhou could not find anything to say about her promotion. After all, a person's political achievements are
Over there. Over the years, she has not only promoted the popularization of mulberry fish ponds, but also restored the legendary snow satin, giving Yaozhou another profitable specialty.
He once fell into the abyss and never changed his ambition.
Among these women, the Empress Dowager undoubtedly admired her the most and also loved her the most.
Shen Jingzhu put the bracelet on her wrist and bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager.
Not only the Queen Mother, but also Queen Mother Gu was also very interested in Shen Jingzhu. So when she had free time, Shen Jingzhu often went to them and told them some things she encountered when she went to the countryside. She was very eloquent, and no matter how boring things happened to her, she would
When it comes out of your mouth, it looks full of fun.
On the other side, Su Youning showed Su Yueling the excerpt she had written.
Su Yueling looked at it and said, "Do you want to ask for credit for Jingzhu and Yuewei?"
Su Youning nodded, "They are both worthy. For their contribution, if it were a man, he would have been knighted long ago." Not only Shen Jingzhu, but Yin Yuewei has also worked extra hard in the past two years. Not only did she clear up many old injustice cases,
She also found many people who were good at tending the fields to learn how to harvest seeds, cultivate fields, and control pests and diseases, compiled them into a book, and printed them out at her own expense. She also sent people to various villages to teach farmers these techniques.
Su Yueling said: "Okay, I will put my seal on it when the time comes."
"But I remember that you originally wanted to wait another two years, right?"
Su Youning nodded, as if remembering something, his expression turned cold, "Mom, over the years, people have proposed to the female officials in the palace one after another."
