The current Empress Dowager is Zhen's aunt. Apart from the shock when everyone in the Lao Bai family first found out, there has been no change in their lives or mentality since then.
The family still lives diligently and honestly.
On the contrary, when He Shun faced Zhen again, he was more respectful than before.
During this period, Eunuch Hong, who came to the Queen Mother to announce the decree, came again.
Mrs. Zhen had a secret conversation with him indoors. The specific content of the discussion was unknown to the Bai family. In short, no one around the Queen Mother in Beijing came to Lao Bai's house after that, and the life of the Bai family returned to peace.
When resting in the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Zhen had a heart-to-heart talk on the white wooden board.
"Damn, I still remember your aunt. At that time, I went to your house to thank you, and your aunt asked the maid to wash the fruit for me to eat." Bai Banban said, "Who would have thought that she would become the current Queen Mother."
Mrs. Zhen sighed and said, "Who says it's not the case. When we were at home, my mother had a very good relationship with her, and she loved me very much. His father, to be honest, I am very happy for her. When my aunt was in the boudoir, Unlike other women in the boudoir, she is decisive and brave in killing, and my grandfather said she is more powerful than my father."
"I just don't know how much hardship she endured to reach the position of Queen Mother..." Mrs. Zhen said
"Fuck, you actually want to see her, don't you? If you want to see her, let's go to the capital and I'll accompany you. You don't have to worry about your family. The children are all grown up. We'll only take our daughter there." White board said.
"Do you know why I don't go to the capital to see my aunt?"
"Why?"
"Of course I have a reason not to go. First, look at why A Zhen next door came to our place... I think the Queen Mother supports A Zhen, and I'm afraid that when I get to the capital, I will get involved in a turmoil that I shouldn't be involved in; secondly, Our fourth son and second son are studying at Huaishui Academy. We must let them pass the imperial examination and go to the capital in an upright manner, instead of letting people gossip behind the back and rely on the Queen Mother..."
When Zhen said this, Bai Banban understood.
Mrs. Zhen is thinking about the whole family.
"Damn it, you still see clearly." Bai Banban chuckled, suddenly thought of something, and asked Zhen anxiously, "Speaking of A Zhen, our daughter plays well with him, is this going to be okay?"
Zhen said with a smile: "It won't be a big deal. We are in the village, and no one knows that my aunt is the Queen Mother. It's okay for the two children to play together, except that A Zhen will have to go back in two years."
"Then I'll be relieved." Bai Banban breathed a sigh of relief.
If his wife said that A Zhen would have an influence on Xiao Fuyuan, he would be the first to stand up and chase her away, even if he is the emperor.
"Go to sleep, it's getting late, and you have to go to work tomorrow." Zhen said.
The next day, Bai Banban and Bai Dazhuang got up early, picked up hammers and went to work in the iron mine.
Xiao Fu Yuan ran over, holding two snow-white handkerchiefs and passing them to Bai Ban and Bai Dazhuang.
"Hey, it's my daughter who loves her father. She knows that he is going to work to give him a veil." Bai Banban said cheerfully, while looking at a group of boys in the yard, which meant that my daughter still loves people.
There was a sweat towel draped over the white wooden shoulder, but he still happily accepted it, while muttering to himself that his daughter would give such a rough man such a delicate scarf.
"Sister, brother will use him to wipe his sweat." Bai Dazhuang took the handkerchief from Xiao Fuyuan and kicked it into his arms seriously, feeling very sweet in his heart.
Xiao Fuyuan understood in an instant that her elder brother and her father had misunderstood.
The handkerchiefs she gave to her father and eldest brother were not wiping sweat at all.
But—
"Dad, brother, this is not a handkerchief for wiping sweat. This is called a mask. It is worn on the mouth to block dust." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile.
"What? Wear a mouthpiece to keep out dust?"
This is the first time Baiban has heard this statement.
They are all old men and farmers, not ladies from rich families. They wear a veil when they go out to keep out the dust.
Baiban felt it was unnecessary, but he didn't want to offend his daughter's kindness.
But Xiao Fuyuan took the mask in the hand of the white board and unfolded it, and said: "Dad, brother, there is a lot of iron filings and dust in the iron mine. If it enters the stomach through the mouth and nose, people will get sick, so you must be careful when working. Wear a mask.”
If dust enters the stomach, it will make you sick. This is the first time I heard about the white wooden board and Bai Dazhuang.
It was only yesterday that Xiao Fuyuan heard his father cough a few times after coming home, and was shocked to realize that there must be iron filings and dust in the mine.
When she was sick and hospitalized in her previous life, there were patients working in the mines in the hospital.
She heard the patient's family members commenting that the dust stained their lungs black, so she thought that her father and her eldest brother would also breathe iron dust when they were mining in the mines.
If the eldest brother and father are not allowed to go to the mine, the two of them will definitely not want to, so they can only think of a way to block the dust.
So I thought about it all night and came up with a mask.
Early in the morning, she knocked on Qiuniang's door. Under her guidance, Qiuniang quickly sewed two masks. She made sure that her father and eldest brother put them on as soon as possible.
"Dad, big brother, look at it, put it on your mouth and nose like this." Xiao Fuyuan unfolded the mask and put it on his ears.
Bai Banban and Bai Dazhuang discovered that there were two ropes sewn at both ends of the veil, which were hung on the ears to cover the mouth and nose tightly.
On a hot day, wearing this thing made of cotton on your mouth and nose makes breathing difficult and uncomfortable.
The white wooden board immediately resisted.
Bai Dazhuang and Bai Banban had the same idea.
"Sister, this thing..."
Xiao Fuyuan knew what his father and eldest brother were thinking, so he interrupted Bai Dazhuang with a straight face and said: "Dad, eldest brother. I care about you so much, but I'm afraid that you will feel uncomfortable breathing the iron filings and dust. I thought about this mask all night. I came up with a solution, but you don’t appreciate it, so I told Nai and mother to go ahead.”
As he spoke, his big, bright eyes were about to shed tears.
Xiao Fuyuan knew that he had to use extraordinary means to get his father and elder brother to take him seriously.
Sure enough, Bai Banban and Bai Dazhuang, father and son, immediately panicked when they saw Xiaofu's round eyes turning red. When they heard that Xiao Fuyuan had thought about the solution all night, the father and son were even more distressed.
"Daughter, I'll wear it. No matter how hot it is, I won't take it off."
The white wooden board took the mask from her daughter's hand and hung it on her ears, feeling guilty at the same time. There is such a considerate and smart daughter who made masks for the health of her father and brother. How can I not hesitate to take advantage of the blessing and be picky about it?
Wear it, you must put it on, and never take it off except when drinking water and eating.
"Sister, I'll wear it too, don't worry, I'll weld it to my face." Bai Dazhuang imitated the white wooden board, unfolded the mask and hung it on his ears.
Xiao Fuyuan chuckled, tilted his head and stretched out his fingers and said coquettishly: "Dad, brother, please give me the retractor. Don't take it off when working in the mine."
"Okay, daddy will pull the hook for you."
"Brother will also pull the hook for you."
