Chapter One Thousand and Eighty-Five
"Princess, the laba porridge is ready, is it sent outside the city now?"
"Yes, send it now, let everyone be careful, don't burn. Xiao'er reminded.
"Good. "Yang Liu went down to make arrangements.
Laba Festival, large families will go to the outside of the city every year to give porridge, which has become a major custom in the imperial capital.
Not only the Laba Festival, but I don't know what year it started, from the first snow to the end of the last snow, every day outside the gate of the imperial capital city there would be a family to give soup porridge and donate old clothes.
Therefore, the imperial court also specially built a shed to facilitate everyone's almsgiving.
Therefore, in the past few years, no one within a radius of several miles of the imperial capital city has been starved and frozen.
Prince An and Princess An saw that Shangguan Wanru was sullen all day, so she took her to the soup kitchen.
Now, because of the high grain yield, the price of grain is falling year by year, and this laba porridge is getting thicker and thicker year by year.
Although many people have food in their homes, because these laba porridges are thicker and sweeter than those made at home, everyone is happy to come and receive a copy.
Therefore, there are many people in front of the almsgiving shed, and there are many patrols around to maintain order.
Among them, in front of the soup kitchen shed of King Rui's Mansion and Shengping Hou's Mansion, there are the most people in line.
The Laba porridge in the Ruiwang Mansion, Xiao'er is boiled with space water, and there is also a precious pill made of three things, such as the worry-free fruit, the leaves of the worry-free fruit tree, and the detoxification elixir.
Those who have physical diseases have eaten the porridge of Ruiwangfu and Shengping Houfu, and they all feel a little more comfortable, and every year like this, there are naturally more people who know the mystery, so they all line up there.
Shangguan Wanru watched the people who came to receive Laba porridge all coming to Rui Wang's Mansion and Shengping Hou's Mansion, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Mother, why are there so many people in front of the soup kitchen shed in Rui Wang's Mansion and Shengping Hou's Mansion?"
"It's delicious! So many people send Laba porridge to the mansion, and I will eat the ones sent by the Ruiwang Mansion and the Shengping Hou Mansion! Even your father and Xi'er, who don't like sweets, will eat a bowl or two. ”
"Xiao'er's food is indeed very delicious, not only that, but I always feel that she has a mysterious power that can unite people's hearts and make people unconsciously attracted to her. Shangguan Wanru also agreed when she heard this.
"Yes, Princess Rui is a very amiable person. ”
Shangguan Wanru wanted to say something more, but a man in shabby clothes standing in front of her winked at her.
Shangguan Wanru was slightly stunned, but soon returned to normal, she reached out and took an empty bowl he handed over, and her fingertips touched something similar to a paper scroll, and she took advantage of the situation to stop it.
Shangguan Wan casually scooped two large spoonfuls of laba porridge into the bowl, and then handed the bowl back to him.
When the man reached out and took the bowl, the small paper scroll fell into Shangguan Wanru's palm.
Shangguan Wanru quickly clenched the note, then pretended to reach out to get the handkerchief in her sleeve pocket, and put the note into her sleeve pocket.
The man took the laba porridge and, like everyone else, walked away as if nothing had happened, and then found a place to eat it.
Shangguan Wanru glanced at his back, she had met this person once, he had gone to the Prince's Mansion to find Gong Zixuan once, but she didn't care at the time, and she didn't know what his name was, but she knew that he was Gong Zixuan's trusted subordinate, otherwise she would not be qualified to appear in the Prince's Mansion.
Did you come to yourself again to tell you about avenging the crown prince?
Actually, she thought about it all night last night, if Min Zeguo sent troops to attack Nangong Kingdom and killed Gong Qinghua, it would be regarded as revenge for Gong Zixuan!
As for who will be the emperor of Nangong Kingdom in the future, Zhuan'er is no longer there, so what does it matter who should be!
If someone else is the emperor, it is better to be occupied by Min Zeguo, but Min Zeguo is his maiden home, and Min Zeguo has many super seed breeding methods, especially rice, which is the staple food of the people of Nangong Kingdom, so that in the future, the people of Nangong Kingdom will have enough to eat and live a good life!
Isn't it Gong Zixuan's dream to let the people of Nangong Kingdom live a good life! This can be regarded as an indirect realization of his wish!
Anyway, anyone can be it, it can't be Gong Qinghua's enemy! It originally belonged to her husband and son, and she gave it to no one and gave it to him!
Prince An and Princess An saw Shangguan Wanru standing there without moving, and the person in front of her had already stretched out his hand for a long time, so she couldn't help but remind: "Wanru, what are you doing in a daze?"
Shangguan Wanru came back to her senses, quickly took the bowl handed over by the people in line, filled a bowl of porridge, and handed it back.
After finishing Shangguan Wanru said: "Mother, I'm a little tired, I want to go home, this porridge will be divided by the next person!"
Prince and Princess An have no opinion when they hear this, they can't be there all the time in this soup kitchen, as long as they do their best at the beginning.
"Okay, let's go home!" Prince and Princess An instructed the people a few more words, and then left with Shangguan Wanru.
After Shangguan Wanru returned to Prince An's mansion, she hurriedly walked to her yard, entered the house, and asked the maids not to disturb her on the grounds of rest, and then she closed the door and took out the note to read.
The content of the note is also a music score, which means that although the imperial grandson was killed, they will definitely avenge the crown prince and the imperial grandson, and then left a contact information, if she has something to find them, she can write it down in the form of a music sheet and put it in the shopkeeper of a grocery store called Ruyi.
Zhuan'er's death was a knot hanging in Shangguan Wanru's heart, and she was not sure who killed Zhuan'er!
She didn't believe Xiao'er would do that!
No, Shangguan Wanru stood up, she decided to ask, otherwise this matter would become a knot in her heart.
......
In previous years, Xiao'er would also go out to see the soup kitchen, but this year, because of the freezing weather, she felt very much like a penguin when she walked, so she didn't go.
After eating Laba porridge, she had nothing to do, so she and Yangliu Yangmei sewed some small rattles and bed bells together, ready to be used for the soon-to-be-born child.
"Princess, everything you prepared is for the little princess, what if you are born as a little prince?"
Xiao'er has prepared a lot of children's clothes, but they are all women's styles, Yang Liu and Yangmei want to make some boys' styles, Xiao'er said no, the two don't understand, why Xiao'er is so sure, what if it is a boy who comes out of his life!
"Then let him take a moment for a while! Where are the baby things divided into men and women!" Xiao'er said disapprovingly.
In fact, Xiao'er is so sure that she gave birth to a daughter, of course, because she asked Bai Day!
Yang Liu Yangmei is speechless, is this okay!
Just when the two of them wanted to prepare some boys' clothes in private, the maid outside reported that the Wanru county lord of Prince An's mansion was here.
