"Then why are you and your father crying? I thought..."
Lan snorted softly, "Didn't you cry too?"
Di Wen blinked his sour eyes and looked away.
"By the way, which god healed me? I will come to thank him in person someday!"
At this mention, Lan was also a little curious. It is said that someone with such experienced medical skills cannot be unknown in Beijing, so she asked Di Zhaoxing.
"Xing'er, do you know what the miracle doctor who saved you looks like?"
"A miracle doctor?" Di Zhaoxing was stunned. He didn't see any miracle doctor.
"When I opened my eyes, I only saw a little girl. She said her name was Juan Juan. I didn't see anyone else."
"how so......"
Lan Shi and Di Wen looked at each other with expressions of confusion.
With a flash of inspiration, Lan suddenly remembered that when she first went to visit Lin, Lin's face was full of confusion until the child was brought over.
"Husband, I think I may know something terrible."
"Let's go in first and then talk..."
Juanjuan waited until night, but did not wait for the arrival of the last child.
Within half a day in the capital, the news of the children's recovery from the strange illness spread throughout the capital. At the same time, the good reputation of Shangshu's family also spread. Yu Xiheng was summoned to the palace overnight to learn what happened.
Emperor Longyan was very happy because a trouble in his mind was solved.
So early the next morning, when Juanjuan's family was having dinner, the emperor's reward arrived directly at the door.
Eunuch Huang's face was as bright as a smile, and he held a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.
The family quickly knelt down to receive the order.
"By God's blessing, the emperor has decreed that my wife Lin, from a well-known family, Shuyuan, with a good temperament and a good heart, possessing both ability and political integrity, and meritorious service in rescuing people, is specially designated as a second-grade county lady. I hereby express my gratitude——"
"Mrs. Lin, please take the order quickly."
Mrs. Lin had no idea that this reward was for herself. She looked back and saw that the bright and firm eyes of her family were looking at her unblinkingly.
"My wife accepts the order."
Warmth surged in her heart, but she accepted the order with neither humility nor arrogance.
"By the way, there is also an imperial edict." Eunuch Huang looked at Juan Juan with a smile, "This is from the Holy One to Miss Juan Juan."
He took out another bright yellow imperial edict and started reciting it.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict that Yu Juanjuan, the daughter of the Minister, is very smart and has won my heart. She is now canonized as the Princess of You'an. She will be granted the fiefdom of Zhijiang, a reward of five hundred thousand taels of gold, and a hundred pieces of fine silk and satin... …I admire this.”
Eunuch Huang bent down and handed the imperial edict to Juan Juan with both hands, "Little Princess, Your Majesty said that the fish in Zhijiang is famous for its delicious taste. I hope you like it."
Juan Juan pushed away the imperial edict with his little hands, his face almost wrinkled.
"Wo, wo, don't be inferior to fish!"
[Fish are so cute, why should we eat them? 】
"Then what do you want to eat, little princess? I will go back and tell your majesty."
Juanjuan's eyes lit up, "Wo loves to eat candied haws, donkey rolling, osmanthus cake, sugar-steamed cheese..."
The little guy announced the names of more than a dozen snacks without blinking an eye, and sipped his saliva while chanting, much to the amusement of everyone present.
"Okay, why don't you tell me the name of the dish? Juanjuan." Mrs. Lin smiled and rubbed the top of her hair.
Eunuch Huang suppressed his smile and assured Juanjuan seriously, "Okay, I'll write it all down, and I'll tell your majesty when I get back."
"Uh-huh!"
[Squeak, squeak...it’s delicious, here I come~]
"Then the little princess can now accept the edict." Eunuch Huang handed over the imperial edict that Juan Juan had just pushed away, and he used coaxing and deception to get Juan Juan to accept the edict.
As the chief eunuch, it was rare for him to be so humble and young.
Box after box of gold, silver and jewelry were being moved in from outside the door, and the onlookers crowded in layer after layer, unable to move their eyes away.
The people were amazed and asked, "Why are you rewarded with so many things? What did this family do?"
"Didn't you hear the imperial edict? This is the home of Mrs. Gaoming and the princess."
"This is the Shangshu Mansion, the family that saved many children of high officials, and they didn't confiscate the medical fees, so of course they should be rewarded."
"It turns out this is the place. It's amazing, it's amazing..."
Everyone clicked their tongues, and some who were not sure also felt admiration after listening to other people's popular science.
In the capital, news spreads the fastest.
No one noticed that among the crowd of onlookers, a woman dressed as a maid pushed her way out and ran away.
Qian Mansion——
"Madam, madam... I'm cured, I'm really cured, and all the rewards from the emperor have been given!"
The little maid ran back to the backyard and reported the news to Mrs. Qian who was under house arrest through the crack in the door.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qian became confused and sat back on the bed.
After a while, she wiped away her tears and walked to the door.
"Go and ask the master to come over and ask him to let me out. I'm going to treat my child!"
"Madam, I'm going to find the master right now!"
Her maid ran out quickly. Because she didn't have the key, and there were two tall and strong women at the door, she couldn't open the door for Mrs. Qian.
In the room, Mrs. Qian covered her mouth and cried silently, but they were tears of joy.
There is help, there is finally help...
Her son...
However, after waiting for a long time, the little maid did not come back. Instead, an uninvited guest came first.
The exquisitely dressed concubine Xiao Yanyun had the door opened. There were a group of servants behind her. She was gorgeously dressed and wearing pearls on her head. She actually looked more elegant than Mrs. Qian, the head wife.
As soon as she saw her, Mrs. Qian was so angry that she trembled all over and wanted to tear her face apart.
"Xiao Yanyun, what did you say in his ear again!"
"Sister, what do you mean? I'm here to help you."
Mrs. Qian sneered and gritted her teeth, "Are you so kind to help me?"
Xiao Yanyun covered her lips and smiled, "Didn't sister want to take the child to Shangshu's Mansion? But sister can't get out now, so I told the master to go to Shangshu's Mansion on your behalf. How can this not be considered a favor to my sister?"
After saying that, she admired Mrs. Qian's struck by lightning expression with great interest for a while, and then left in a good mood.
Behind him, there were heart-rending shouts.
Xiao Yanyun's expression did not change, she waved her hand to call the maid beside her, and said casually, "Go to the second young lady and ask her to dress up, and go to the Shangshu Mansion with me later."
The maid said yes and then went down.
The second young lady, Qian Youjiao, is Xiao Yanyun's biological daughter. She is 15 years old this year and has just gotten hairpins. Because her aunt is so favored, she is also famous for being arrogant and domineering in the capital. She is more powerful than other legitimate daughters in the house.
"What about the young master..." a maid asked cautiously.
Xiao Yanyun blew her nails, glanced at her, and sneered, "What does it have to do with me? Am I his father or his mother? Do I want to worry about him?"
"Then, why don't you take the young master with you?"
"Take it with you and put it in the carriage. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."
