The next morning, the sky was fine and the wind was a little cold, but it was much milder than the severe cold in the first month.

The Queen Mother's car, as Xie Yingrong had originally expected, took a short break on the way to Bao'en Temple, and stopped at a tea stall not far from the courtyard where the Bian family stayed.

Originally, their group was just taking a short rest, but because the Queen Mother was old, her health was not very good, her hands and feet were cold, and she used charcoal pots and stoves and other things, which would be too dry, which made the Queen Mother's throat dry and uncomfortable, so they used Tang Pozi instead. And coming out of the palace, all the way here, the hot water in the soup woman is already a little cold, and it needs to be replaced with a new one. But when they stopped to rest, the eight-year-old fourth prince was mischievous and put out the stove used to boil water, and there was no way to rekindle the fire. If you take another small stove of warm tea to boil water, and you don't know how long it will be delayed, the Queen Mother may not be able to wait.

The eunuch in charge of the tea and charcoal basin knew that the queen mother would not blame the beloved little prince, and in the end it would only be him who would take the blame, and in order to protect himself, he must immediately find a way to deal with this difficult birth. It happened that there was a tea stall on the side of the road, and he immediately ran to the tea stall to ask for hot water.

Of course, there is hot water on the tea stall, but the old man who sets up the tea stall does not look very clean. Patches on his clothes are just a common thing, but the problem is that he keeps snorting and wiping his sleeves, and his hands may not be clean. How can the hot water that this kind of person has touched be presented to the Queen Mother?!

The eunuch went to see the place where the tea stall had stored water, and found that the water had been drawn from elsewhere, and that it was ready to be taken in a large bucket, and the bucket was just being returned, but the scoop of water was black, and I did not know what was on it. He didn't dare to send this kind of water that he didn't know if it was clean or not to the nobles, even if it wasn't to drink!

What can I do? If there is no village in front of this place, no shop in the back, and no water from the tea stall, where will he go to find hot water? They brought the spring water for making tea from the palace, but once this spring water has to be supplied to the queen mother, the eldest princess and the two princes to drink before returning to the palace, once used up, they must go back to the palace to make up, and secondly, it takes a lot of time to heat the mountain spring water.

At this time, the eunuch found that there was a family nearby, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over with the people, and was even more pleasantly surprised to find that the family had also set up a tea stall outside the door to serve tea to passers-by. Although it is strange that there are not many people passing by and that there are tea stalls serving tea in nearby places, why should he delve into it? All he needed was the family to provide hot water and solve the problem he was facing.

Bian Juren personally stepped forward and provided the eunuch with enough clean boiling water. The eunuch probably saw that he was not a common man, not the kind that could be sent away with a few taels of silver, and his attitude was polite. After sending the hot water refilled into the Queen Mother's carriage, he mentioned the person who borrowed water to the grandmother who was in charge of the Queen Mother's side. If a noble man can give some reward to that family, it will be more decent than a few taels of silver.

The grandmother knew the character of the queen mother, and knew that this trip was to pray for the eldest princess who died early, and to do good deeds on the way, which was more in line with the queen mother's wishes, so she reported the matter. The Queen Mother really took a heart when she heard this, and sent her grandmother to take a trip, and rewarded the person who sent the hot water with a set of copper stoves and bottles, which is not a valuable object, but it is produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is rare and decent for ordinary small households.

Mrs. Bian and Bian Juren were very happy, and when they saw that the grandmother who came to give things did not mention who their owner was, they offered to thank the nobleman who gave the gift.

This was originally proposed by Xie Yingrong to Mrs. Bian, but who knew that the grandmother didn't agree on the spot, but just said that she was going to ask the master's house for instructions, and turned around and left.

The grandmother got back into the carriage where the queen mother and the eldest princess were riding, and recounted what she saw, and said: "This family should also be an official eunuch, and the son is a famous scholar, and his dress, words and deeds can prove that his family is well-off, and he is definitely not the original owner of this small mansion, most of them are rented temporarily." Recently, many powerful people have rented houses around Bao'en Temple for a while, and this family must not be a big family with a head and face, so they can only rent a house in this remote area away from Bao'en Temple. In order to have the opportunity to cling to the nobles, his family had to set up a tea stall on the side of the road, just hoping that when he could meet good luck and meet one or two nobles who were willing to stop. The Queen Mother was lenient and gave him three things about the stove bottle, but his family was not satisfied, and he wanted to meet him in person, which was too greedy. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "I see. If the little people don't rely on them in Beijing, even if they are eunuchs for officials, it is not easy, so there is no need to be too demanding. Since we have already received hot water and given the three things of the furnace bottle, it can be regarded as a flattening. There is no village in front of this place, and there is no store in the back, and it makes people feel chills after staying for a long time. Luo'er (the fourth prince) is young, don't let him blow the wind here, hurry up and go to Bao'en Temple as soon as possible. ”

Mama answered, and was about to retreat, when she suddenly heard an exclamation from outside, she hurriedly went out of the carriage to visit, and found that it was the fourth prince who ran to the door of the house with a little eunuch at some point, and happened to collide with the son of that family, and almost fell. Mama was startled and hurriedly got out of the car and ran over.

The fourth prince was fine, he was fished out by Bian Juren, but the hem of his robe was stained with a little dust, and he was not injured at all. The little eunuch who was on the back of the service was so frightened that he was about to cry, and he looked up with a smile and asked Bian Juren as if he was fine, "Who are you?" Is this your home? You dress decently, why are you living here? ”

Bian Juren was actually urged by his mother to come out to see the situation because the grandmother in the palace had not heard back for a long time, and he didn't know what the identity of the four princes in ordinary clothes was, so he could only conclude that he was a nobleman, so he replied honestly: "My surname is Bian, and I am a lifter." This is not my home, I just rent here. The houses near Bao'en Temple were all rented out, and our family was just a small family, so we couldn't squeeze in, so we had to ask for help and find this place. Then he asked the fourth prince, "Little nobleman, are you okay?" This is not an official road, the road surface is not very smooth, you walk carefully, don't run too fast, in case you fall, won't it hurt yourself? ”

The grandmother beside the Queen Mother arrived at this time, and when she heard the end of the words, she knew that Bian Juren didn't say anything inappropriate, and her face was quite gentle. She squatted down and begged the fourth prince: "Niangniang is leaving, please ask the little master to go back to the car, right?" When I arrived at the temple, I had my own place for the little master to play. ”

The fourth prince responded with a sweet smile, glanced at Bian Juren more, and ran back to his carriage with a smile. The little eunuch hurriedly followed.

The fourth prince and the third prince sat in the same car, and when the former returned to the car, the latter was already waiting a little impatiently, but in order to leave a good impression on the queen mother, he had to continue to pretend to be a good brother: "It's back." What can there be to do in this place? Are you running around and not afraid of getting your feet dirty? "He didn't even plan to get out of the car!

The fourth prince smiled sweetly and said, "It's funny, I met a scholar just now, and he can speak honestly." ”

The third prince disagreed: "There are too many nerds, where is it fun for such a person?" ”

The fourth prince smiled and lowered his head to play with his toys, but did not answer. Seeing this, the third prince couldn't help but roll his eyes and twist his head.

This kind of child who only knows how to eat and play all day long with a smile on his face, I really don't know why the Queen Mother and his father like it.

The Queen Mother's car quickly left. Bian Juren stood on the side of the road, watching them go away, and some of them couldn't react. He looked back at his mother and wife, who had gone out when they heard the sound, and the three of them looked at each other.
