"Are these rewards from the current emperor and the queen mother? Zi Wanniang, look, Sister Wan and Guan Lang are now promising. Even the current emperor and the queen mother have seen it with their own eyes. They even went to stay in the palace for two days. This
If you tell anyone, how enviable it would be." Not to mention others, even Ge Rui and the others would be envious.
In the past, in Hexi Village, even the government servants would tremble very much when they saw them, and they were even more frightened when they saw the county magistrate. Now, Lu Ziwan and Lian Guanlang not only entered the palace, but even the emperor met them, and even lived in the palace.
After two days, who wouldn’t be envious after hearing this? Not everyone can seek this kind of blessing.
"I also met Sister Hua in the palace. She is Chen Fulu's sister, Chen Xiaohua. Now she is a maid in the palace, and she has tanned a lot. If she hadn't recognized me first, she would have stood beside me.
I didn't even recognize her in front of me." Lu Ziyuan said with a smile.
"Hey, a good daughter was ruined by the Chen family. It's not like she was too poor to survive, so why was she sent to the palace out of sheer thought." He Chunmei felt sorry for Chen Xiaohua.
"Why can't you think about it, Mother Ziyuan, have you forgotten? The Chen family originally hoped that Sister Hua would become a concubine, so they canceled the previous marriage and sent their daughter to run for election. Although they have to be careful when entering the palace, but
, Now that there is a severe drought, if you become a palace maid, you will at least have enough food and clothing." Ge Rui paused for a moment and then said, "However, if the marriage had not been cancelled, Chen Xiaohua would not have followed the county officials and that family.
I won’t die of hunger.”
"Forget it, what do we say they do? It's none of our business. The food is almost cold. Let's go in quickly." Lu Donglin interrupted everyone and said to the busy two sisters and Da Zhuang, "Put the food away."
It will get cold after a while, so let’s go eat first, so we won’t let our legs run away if we put the things there.”
"With these rewards, we don't have to worry about Fencheng. Mom, when we go out to the streets tomorrow, I'll buy you whatever you like." Lu Ziyuan, a wealthy man, made everyone laugh again and again with his words.
Under the moonlight, the garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and small fishes were swimming freely in the pond. After dinner, everyone sat around under the trees in the courtyard, chatting and laughing.
"I don't know how much the Bai family spent to buy this courtyard, and I don't know how much it will cost to buy a courtyard like this in Nanwang Town. If it's not expensive, we can buy one. Then everyone will live together, and it will be lively.
When the weather is hot, you can enjoy the flowers and the moon like now." Lu Ziyuan sighed, thinking, the factory has stopped, the loss is not small, it is just money, which is really distressing.
"What's so good about living in such a big yard? I can't find anyone, and it's hard to organize. I think living in a small yard like ours in Hexi Village is comfortable, but there are no flowers or trees. When I go back,
Wouldn't it be enough to just plant some in the yard? But, having said that, Guan Lang, all the peach trees in your yard are probably dead. Hey, I thought there would be peaches to eat this year!"
"I haven't heard of rain over there until now. It must be dead." Lian Guan laughed.
"I don't know when this drought will be over. There are still floods in the south." Lu Ziyuan continued, "Forget about natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters. These corrupt officials are not allowing people to live. When we arrived, they were still there.
I haven’t heard of anyone being investigated by the imperial envoy. Anyone who dares to be greedy must have been prepared for it."
Among these corrupt officials, those who dare to be corrupt are the highest officials. Lu Ziyuan can imagine that many officials may be involved by then, and the senior officials may use junior officials as scapegoats.
However, these are not things that Lu Ziwan should care about. Fencheng has beautiful scenery, and what she has to do is to enjoy the comfort every day, take her family, and enjoy the fact that she is traveling here as a family.
