It was said that the money was donated to the Huguo Temple for sesame oil, but in fact, the money was given to the Huguo Temple to open a porridge shed for disaster relief. It was a different kind of prayer for the little emperor's grandson.
The emperor became excited and began to plan this matter.
Liu Shangshu glanced at Li Shangshu vaguely. Since it was the empress's donation of sesame oil, it was natural that the money was not paid by the treasury, but by the emperor himself.
The emperor obviously had not thought of this at this time.
It is not that simple for the emperor and empress to travel. It is already past noon now, and it is impossible to leave the palace. Tomorrow is the third day of the little emperor's grandson's bath, so the emperor decided to discuss this matter after tomorrow.
After Man Bao and the others ate and drank at the western suburbs racecourse, they pooled their money together to pay for the roast deer feast, and then they got on their horses and ran home chasing each other.
Yes, although Zhao Liulang hunted the deer, he still had to pay for it. After all, it was a deer raised on a horse farm, right?
Everyone shared the expenses equally, which was one of the reasons why Zhao Liulang gradually moved away from his former friends and liked to hang out with them.
Every time you go out, you no longer have to pay, or I have to pay, it is directly shared equally. No matter how much you eat or how little you eat, it is enough for each person to pay dozens or hundreds of cash.
There are fewer constraints and worries.
The group of people happily chased each other into the city gate. After reaching the inner city, they separated and went back to their homes.
Bai Shan jumped off his horse and took Man Bao and Bai Er to see Mrs. Liu to discuss opening a porridge shed.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Isn't it hard for you to think of this? It's hard for the people in Gyeonggi Province this year, so it snowed non-stop last night. I sent people to the village to transport food early in the morning. I should be back tomorrow at the latest."
When the time comes, our family will set up a porridge tent in the outer city."
When Man Bao heard this, he contributed a cart of grain on behalf of his family, and then looked at Bai Er.
Bai Er felt around on his body and took out one tael of silver that he had just taken back today and gave it to her, "There is no more."
Man Bao exclaimed, "You are quite capable. You can buy ten shi of millet."
Man Bao accepted the money, waved his hand and said, "I will go and tell my father in a moment that I will weigh ten shi of millet for you."
The old Zhoutou man was sitting at home. Money came from the sky. He was very happy to get the money. While asking his sons to weigh the millet, he said: "Man Bao, we can't sell this grain indiscriminately. Now we have many families and land."
There won't be a harvest until next year, so you have to harvest it, you know?"
"There is Lumi every month," Man Bao asked Zhou Lang to move more, and told her father, "Our family also produces ten shi of grain, and we will open a porridge shed with Bai Shan and others."
Lao Zhou opened his mouth wide and asked, "Why?"
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "In order for me to be an official more smoothly in the future, I can earn more salary and rewards."
Old Zhoutou rolled his eyes and said, "I know. If the village chief wants his son to be the village chief, he should first let his son run around in each village and do some good deeds to accumulate a good reputation."
Man Bao was stunned, "The truth is correct, but the head of the village wants to give up his position to Da Ya and her father-in-law?"
"That's what the village chief said before I left. He said that I would pass the position to his boss in three or two years."
Although it seems that he would be closer to his father-in-law, Lao Zhoutou is still more used to being the elder of the family.
Since the food was for Man Bao to be promoted in the future, Lao Zhou turned a blind eye and let them move it.
But after the move, I still felt heartbroken. I felt that the price of becoming an official was indeed high. Not only did my daughter only have to go home once every seven or eight days, she also had to pay for food.
Seeing that his father agreed, Man Bao left the matter to Mrs. Liu with confidence, then turned around and went shopping to buy a longevity lock.
Even Bai Shan followed suit and bought a piece, "At least I saw the little emperor's grandson making a noise, so I had to buy him a piece no matter what."
The two of them couldn't give any gifts that were too big or too special, so they closed the longevity locks and went home.
Entering the palace the next day, both Man Bao and Bai Shan received invitations to watch the ceremony.
On the third day of the little emperor's grandson, the princess's mother and several sisters-in-law came into the palace. The emperor and the empress came to see it in person. This was the first time for the emperor's grandson.
When Prince Gong's eldest son was born, the emperor was not able to leave the palace to see him. He did not see the child until he was one month old.
As soon as Man Bao and Bai Shan entered the door, they saw so many people in the palace, and they were all big bosses, so they stood aside silently.
Everyone gathered around the children and no one noticed their arrival.
When the auspicious time came, one of the two stable women held the baby, and the other brought a basin of water. After praying, they quickly opened the swaddling clothes with their hands and feet, held the baby, and let the baby's feet touch the slightly cold water.
, the child immediately started crying as soon as he was exposed to the air...
Because they had received the generous gift from the Crown Princess in advance, the ladies quickly poured water on the little grandson, murmured auspicious words quickly, and then wrapped the child in swaddling clothes.
Despite the amount of water that the nuns brought up, not much fell on the child, and it was so fast that it was over before anyone could recover, but the child cried very loudly and closed his eyes with tears.
Big drops falling.
Man Bao frowned when he heard this, and whispered to Bai Shan: "I really don't know why you have to use clean water for washing. I heard that outside, rich people throw all kinds of things into the basin. It's just the rules in the palace.
Then throw things into the basin, otherwise those things will be dirty and come into contact with the child, and the child will easily get sick."
Bai Shan: "It was like this when I was a kid."
"You knew it after only three days?"
"My mother and grandmother told me." Bai Shan glanced at her, "But I remembered that people in your family and our village seem to rarely wash their hands."
"Who said that? We wash it ourselves at home. Hehehe, the hot water we use is just like bathing a child." Man Bao said, "My mother said, my uncle and aunt will have to make a trip for washing.
, it’s too troublesome, and I have to give a gift to Po Wen, it’s not worth it, so I just wash it off with a basin of hot water at home.”
Zhao Liulang, who was squeezed next to them, turned to look at them and lowered his voice: "Can your house be called Xi San?"
Man Bao was startled, looked up and saw it was him and asked, "Why are you here too?"
Zhao Liulang said angrily: "How rare, this is my cousin's eldest son, my parents are here, what's wrong with me coming to give gifts? It's you, why are you here?"
Man Bao said: "How rare. I delivered the child. I came to see the child. What's wrong with giving gifts along the way?"
Zhao Liulang looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan smiled and said: "I have witnessed the birth of the little emperor's grandson, so His Highness invited me to come and watch the ceremony."
While they were talking, the nanny had already coaxed the child, and everyone began to praise the child. He had a loud voice, and it sounded like he was healthy and smart.
It’s understandable that crying is associated with good health, but why is it associated with intelligence?
