Yue Rushuang took a look and saw that it was Xiao Liuzi.
He was too young, so Nanny Qian didn't arrange any heavy work for him, so she only ran errands and delivered letters.
Today is the Qingguo Duke's family banquet, and the old housekeeper asked to bring more cold melons.
The mistress brought him here to deliver cold melons because he wanted to have a meal.
Rich families in the capital have this habit. If there is a banquet, those who come to deliver rice, noodles, fish, vegetables, and carriages will set a table for them to have a meal before leaving.
The third son and the sixth son came here just to get some reward money. The government usually gave them a few carriage fares and a meal.
Xiao Liuzi was clean and tidy, with gentle brows on his small face.
Xiao Liuzi often runs these things and is not timid about stage fright.
Xiao Liuzi stepped forward, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, without squinting, and said: "Hello, old lady, I brought you the cold melon."
Xiao Liuzi hadn't seen his boss there yet.
The old lady said: "What a clean boy."
"There are several ladies here who want to order cold melons from you. Do you want to do this business?"
Xiao Liuzi raised his head and said, "I can't make the decision. Why don't the ladies tell me the mansion and I'll go back and ask my boss."
A lady asked curiously: "Don't you know if there are cold melons? Could it be that your boss doesn't sell them and keeps the small melons?"
Everyone laughed.
Xiao Liuzi waited until everyone stopped laughing, then said: "Our boss said that we should keep some to sell in the winter."
An old lady said: "What a silly thing to say. We don't have to wait until winter for everything to rot. It would be better to sell it for money."
Xiao Liuzi said: "I will tell my boss when I get back."
An old lady stared at Xiao Liuzi.
The tea in her hand was shaking all the time, and the grandma who was following her also had a look of surprise on her face.
The old lady said: "Child, look up and let me take a look."
As soon as Xiao Liuzi raised his head, the old lady's tea bowl fell to the ground with a bang.
In the Jin Dynasty, this was called a breach of etiquette.
The average official wife has been instructed in her boudoir and remains unfazed.
This old lady is the old lady of Pingnanhou Mansion.
She is also a lady among us all.
Such gaffes are rare.
The Emperor and Queen Mother are still here, and it would be an exaggeration to say that she was shocked when she dropped the bowl of tea.
This kind of thing should be apologized, but the lady seemed to be frozen, just staring at Xiao Liuzi without moving her eyes.
"Child, you...how old are you and what is your name?"
Xiao Liuzi is generous and has no stage fright at all.
"My name is Xiao Liuzi, I'm seven years old."
The eldest lady who was following the old lady also looked at Xiao Liuzi blankly. She originally wanted to remind her mother-in-law that she had lost her temper, but when her mother-in-law asked, she also looked at the child.
As soon as he saw it, he almost threw the tea bowl away.
This look was exactly the same as that of her husband.
Seven years ago, her husband encountered bandits and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
My son, who was just one month old, didn’t know whether he would live or die.
This kid...
Mrs. Pingnanhou turned to the old lady and said, "Old lady, can you lend me an empty house for your convenience?"
The old lady naturally agreed.
Yue Rushuang...
There won't be another one who loses the child, right?
The eldest lady supported the old lady, but the old lady could hardly walk.
Ginkgo stepped forward to help and walked to an empty house.
"Miss Ginkgo, Ma, please prepare a bowl of water for me."
Ginkgo hurriedly asked the little maid to fetch water.
When the water was brought, Ginkgo took the little maid out.
The old lady said: "My child, please reach out."
Xiao Liuzi was still young and didn't know why, so he stretched out his hand.
The old lady took off the hairpin from her head and said, "Please bear with me."
After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Liuzi's hand and stabbed it.
Xiao Liuzi burst into tears.
The eldest lady quickly coaxed him.
Blood dripped into the water bowl.
The old lady looked at the eldest lady.
Madam...
"mother?"
The old lady nodded.
The eldest lady took the hairpin and pricked her finger.
A drop of blood fell into the water bowl.
The two groups were flushed and quickly melted together.
The eldest lady hugged Xiao Liuzi.
"Mom has found you."
The old lady also cried.
"It's fine now. This child is your biological son, and the blood has dissolved."
"That shameless bastard wants to be the heir apparent and inherit the family business?"
"This is the eldest son, this is the eldest son of our family."
Xiao Liuzi looked confused.
He has known since he was a child that he was picked up from the tree by Xiaosanzi's father.
Xiao Liuzi asked: "You said I am your son? Then did you give me a jade pendant?"
The third son's father said that he might be a child of a wealthy family. The swaddling clothes that wrapped him were all fine soft silk. The jade pendant was a token and he was asked to keep it safe.
The old lady said: "Do you still remember the jade pendant?"
The old lady sighed: "We men in Pingnanhou Mansion all have a jade pendant. We have one since we were born. You look exactly like your father when he was a child."
The eldest lady burst into tears.
"I wonder if your father will come back?"
"Mom thought I would never see you again."
The eldest lady has been a widow for the eldest son for these years and has not been interested in worldly affairs. She looks older than her actual age. In fact, she is not yet thirty years old.
In the second year of their marriage, when she was only seventeen years old, she gave birth to a child and became a boy in one fell swoop.
The destined prince of the Hou family.
Unexpectedly, that year, when her husband accompanied her back to her parents' home, she encountered bandits and something happened. She didn't know whether her husband or her son was alive, and she also fainted.
When she woke up, she realized that the servants and maids she had brought with her were all dead and there were no survivors.
Of the more than thirty people, no one survived. Her husband and young son were neither alive nor dead.
After returning to the mansion, she put on the white flower and ignored the affairs of the mansion from then on.
The royal family's gifts naturally passed into the hands of the concubine's wife.
The two took Xiao Liuzi back to the front yard.
The two of them didn't know that after they took Xiao Liuzi away, the emperor also frowned.
The emperor said: "This kid looks really familiar."
The Imperial Master said: "This face looks like Prince Pingnanhou!"
Many people remembered the words of the Imperial Master.
Prince Pingnan Hou was also well-known as a good young master in Beijing at that time. He had a good family background and good literary talents. He was considered to be outstanding among the princes of the princes.
Later, he married the eldest daughter of the former prime minister's family.
Later, I heard that when I accompanied my wife back to my parents' home, I encountered robbers on the road, and both the prince and the youngest son were killed.
Many of the people present had met Prince Pingnan Hou, and they all remembered him when the Imperial Master said this.
Doesn't that child look like Prince Pingnan?
Yue Rushuang...
Is this a gift of a cold melon to find my mother?
Liu Yongxue hasn't figured it out yet, why is there another person claiming the child?
Xing'er whispered: "The kid and his mother are flying around in the capital, and you don't even know who is in the same family as whom?"
The emperor almost laughed angrily after hearing this.
What kind of kid is flying around with his own mother?
Are you a kite?
The old lady and the eldest lady walked in holding Xiao Liuzi's hand.
The old lady bowed deeply and said, "I lost my temper just now because I think this child looks like my son."
"I borrowed the treasure of the old lady to do a blood test on this child and my eldest daughter-in-law, and the blood was dissolved."
Everyone...
Everyone was stunned.
What the hell?
