The next day.
It's just dawn.
There was news at Cheng Wanwan's house.
Zhao Da drove the car, and two Cao family members were tied up and thrown on the bullock cart. They had the unique stench of piglets. Zhao Dashan and Zhao Sanniu guarded the two people, and Cheng Wanwan and Cao Yingying sat on the other side.
In fact, you could take a horse-drawn carriage, but Cheng Wanwan suffered from motion sickness and had no choice but to choose an ox-cart.
Although the ox cart was slow, it was smooth, swaying and safe. Before the sun came up, the ox cart drove to the gate of Hekou County.
Cheng Wanwan led a group of people to the door of Cao's mansion.
The houses are decorated with blue tiles, majestic stone lions, and red lanterns hanging under the eaves. These are the homes of wealthy families in ancient times.
If it weren't for the strict hierarchical regulations on food, clothing, housing and transportation for merchants in the imperial court, this mansion would probably be even more splendid.
The two boys guarding the door shouted: "Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
Cheng Wanwan was about to speak.
She came to see her as a Sui Ruren, and Mrs. Cao did not dare not to see her.
But before she could speak, Cao Yingying came out from behind her: "Why, you don't even recognize me?"
Those two young men have been in Cao Mansion for some years. Although the eldest lady rarely shows up, it is impossible not to know them.
The two of them immediately saluted: "I have seen the eldest lady, the younger one will go in and report to the madam!"
Soon a woman came out and led a group of people in personally. The woman looked at the two tied people with strange eyes, and was a little frightened. This was obviously a bad person...
Zhao Dashan and Zhao Sanniu each carried one and threw it into the lobby. The two people happened to lie in front of Mrs. Cao.
Mrs. Cao was dressed in a bright red dress, with a gold hairpin in her hair, ruby earrings on her ears, four or five jasper bracelets on her wrists, and a string of pearls around her neck. The word "money" is written on his face.
She was sitting with a very elegant attitude, but suddenly two big rice dumplings were thrown at her feet, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"Mrs. Cao." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "These two people got lost and came to my house late at night. I sent them to you specially this early in the morning."
The mother-in-law behind Mrs. Cao came over and whispered: "These are the two guards sent to Dahe Village yesterday. The one next to the eldest lady should be a Suiru man personally conferred by the Holy Emperor..."
Mrs. Cao’s eyes widened.
Didn't Master Fu say that Sui Ruren was seriously injured by the guards of the Cao family when he was reviewing the case?
Because Sui Ruren was injured, her confidant mother-in-law was severely punished and even had to be imprisoned for three months!
But now, Sui Ruren was standing in front of her!
Does a poor-legged peasant woman really think she is superior to others by being canonized? Oh, how dare she come to show off her power!
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said in a cold voice: "Come here, show Sui Ruren a seat and serve tea!"
"There's no need to drink tea." Cheng Wanwan smiled softly, "Mrs. Cao, take care of your people. Next time you send people to Dahe Village, I won't just send them back. Also, Cao Miss Hui Zhilan is very fond of me, so please live with me for the time being. Yingying, let’s go!”
Cao Yingying looked at Mrs. Cao on the main seat and said coldly: "My biological mother left me the shop Zhuangzi. Last month's income has been delivered. Mother remembered to send someone to Dahe Village. If it is not delivered within three days, When you arrive, I will go to the Yamen to ask Mr. Fu to administer justice."
She turned around and followed Cheng Wanwan out, and Zhao Dashan and Zhao Ergou also quickly followed.
"Rebellion!" Mrs. Cao waved the tea cup in her hand to the ground. "Listen, this bitch dares to talk to me in this tone! Is this threatening me? Come here, take the eldest lady with you. Come back, who allowed her to leave!"
Mrs. Zhou beside her said quickly: "Madam, that person is a Ruren from Sui. Although he is only a ninth-grade person, he is still personally canonized by the Holy Master. Moreover, he was just canonized yesterday. A hot Ruren was released, and countless people were staring at him from all directions. , it’s not good for us to confront each other... Anyway, the master has been delayed by things over there and won’t be able to come back for a while. After the excitement subsides, we will send someone to kidnap the young lady back."
Mrs. Cao suffered from angina pectoris.
She has been married for so many years, and her sons and daughters, as well as the eldest daughter who is her legitimate daughter, are all under her control.
But because Cao Yingying is a legitimate young lady, there are some things that she cannot do openly, so she can only plan the matter while Cao Defu is away.
Things went smoothly, and everyone in Hekou County was talking about Cao Yingying losing her virginity.
Miss Cao's reputation has been damaged, so naturally she can marry the old man from the Dou family, and Cao Defu won't say anything when he comes back.
But there was no way to get Cao Yingying back.
It really pissed her off.
And the rumors about Miss Cao in Hekou County disappeared automatically.
As Cao Yingying walked on the street, all she heard was comments about Mrs. Cao, and she also satirized her father for not managing the back house well.
Of course, the most talked about thing is yesterday’s imperial edict.
A peasant woman was canonized as a ninth-grade Ruren because of her discovery of regenerated rice.
A scholar was rewarded by the Holy Spirit with jade locusts, which were said to be worth a thousand taels of silver, because he discovered a method of destroying locusts.
There were also two unknown people who discovered a way to thresh rice. The Holy Spirit rewarded them with the Four Treasures of the Study. It is said that the writing brush and inkstone were the best items that only the emperor could use...
Everyone in the world knows that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, although farmers are ranked second, in fact, their status is the lowest. Officials have power, business people have money, workers have skills, and farmers rely on heaven and earth for their food, and heaven and earth , is often the most difficult thing to rely on, the weather is unpredictable, and the land is sometimes annexed by the gentry and rich, full of various variables...
Now the Holy Spirit's move undoubtedly affirmed the status of farmers.
Most of the people in this dynasty were farmers, which greatly encouraged the lowest farmers and encouraged them to engage in agricultural creation...
Cheng Wanwan was dressed in coarse cloth, so no one could tell that she was the much-talked-about Sui Ruren.
She went to Zuixian Tower to inquire about it, and learned that the most famous Wen Po was Mrs. Yu who lived in Dongtou Lane. She was over sixty years old. It was said that all the children she delivered had grown up safely.
Because of her reputation, Mrs. Yu charges a high price. She only pays 2 taels of silver for one trip. She pays the money first. When the baby is born, she will be there on call. After the mother and child are safe, she still needs to seal a big red envelope. How big the red envelope is depends on the owner. the meaning of.
Cheng Wanwan and Mrs. Yu discussed the approximate time, paid the money, and then went to prepare a meeting gift for the first grandson or granddaughter in the family.
Wu Huiniang had already prepared the clothes, diapers, etc. for the child, and there was nothing else needed.
She asked the children to wait outside while she went to a jewelry store to buy a safety lock.
She had read some historical data before. Due to the low level of medical care, the death rate of children in ancient times was extremely high. She bought the safety lock just to hope that the children would be safe.
A silver lock was engraved with the word "peace" and some auspicious clouds. The asking price was four taels of silver, and Cheng Wanwan paid the money happily.
Then they bought some pork and vegetables, and then the group headed back.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he met Zhao Youcai who was driving a carriage. He said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, Dashan's wife is about to give birth. The situation is very bad!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dashan immediately jumped off the bullock cart and rushed home like the wind.
Cheng Wanwan said calmly: "Er Gou, your third uncle and you go to Hekou Town to invite Mrs. Yu over. You must be quick!"
Zhao Ergou nodded, jumped on the carriage, and took the reins from Zhao Youcai's hand. He drove the carriage more steadily. The carriage neighed and the horse galloped.
Zhao Youcai turned pale with fright and quickly got into the carriage.
Although he can drive a car, he always drives slowly. If he drives faster, he will easily lose control...
