"I see that this Granny Liu is old and her body is tough. Her food and drink are not inferior to that strong man who works hard.
Why don't we let Granny Liu give Big Niu Niu a name so that she can live longer?”
Jia Lian said to Wang Xifeng and suddenly remembered that his daughter didn't have a name yet.
He also recalled that in the original novel, his daughter Jia Qiao was named by Granny Liu.
So he suggested to Wang Xifeng.
"I think it's feasible. Big Niu Niu was born on the 7th of July. I thought it was unlucky and was afraid of breaking a taboo, so I didn't give Big Niu Niu a name.
Now that I hear what you said…"
"I think it's time to extend our Big Niu Niu's lifespan.”
After hearing Jia Lian's words, Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up and she agreed.
After agreeing, she quietly watched Granny Liu and her grandson eat.
…
"Originally, I shouldn't have come to disturb you, but my family's financial situation was difficult, so I had no choice but to shamelessly come to beg you. However, I didn't expect to bump into Second Master at the door. Not only did Second Master Living Buddha not blame me, but he even rewarded me with two pieces of silver.”
"This old woman shamelessly wanted to enter the residence to thank him in person.
I didn't expect Second Master and Second Mistress to laugh at me. It's really because this old woman and grandson have been hungry for too long…"
"I'm not afraid of jokes, but I can't even remember how many years it has been since I've seen the smell of meat. This grandson of mine hasn't seen meat since he was born.”
After Granny Liu and her grandson had their fill, they were washed by Ping 'er and two servant girls before they came to see Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.
Grandma Liu looked at Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng with a face full of restraint and embarrassment.
He also explained his purpose for coming to Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian.
Of course, after Granny Liu followed Jia Lian to the courtyard and saw Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian introduced himself and Wang Xifeng to Granny Liu.
"Alright, we already know why you're here…"
Xifeng Wang interrupted Granny Liu and said something to her. She then turned to Ping Er, who was standing at the side, and continued,
"Go to the public treasury and take twenty taels of silver for Granny Liu.”
"Yes, sir!"
Ping 'er replied and left.
"Thank you, Grandma.”
"This old woman had no way to repay him, so she could only go home and burn incense every day. She knelt in front of the Buddha statue and begged Grandma and Second Master to live a long life.”
Granny Liu, who had originally wanted to thank her, was immediately excited when she heard that Wang Xifeng had given her 20 taels of silver. She immediately pulled her grandson, who had just eaten his fill and was not making any noise, to kneel down and thank Wang Xifeng sincerely.
Twenty taels of silver was an astronomical figure for her family.
Not only could they solve the problem of food and clothing for their family, but they could also build a big house and even buy a few acres of land to pass on their inheritance.
Such a great kindness touched Granny Liu's heart.
"I have a young lady who doesn't have a name yet. I wonder if you can use Granny Liu's birthday to give us a name to suppress it.”
Jia Lian said to Granny Liu, who was kneeling on the ground to thank him.
"When was elder sister born?"
Hearing Jia Lian's request, Granny Liu didn't refuse. She looked up at Jia Lian and asked.
She knew Jia Lian's intention in giving her a name, so she didn't refuse.
"July 7th."
said Wang Xifeng.
"The seventh day of the seventh month is the day of begging for cleverness, so why don't we call her sister Qiao 'er?”
Granny Liu was uneducated, but she knew the date of the seventh day of the seventh month.
Thinking about the seventh day of the seventh month, he chose the word 'Qiao' to match the festival.
"Yes! It was alright. Thank you, Granny Liu.”
Wang Xifeng felt that it was okay, so she agreed.
She thanked Granny Liu indifferently.
To be honest, Wang Xifeng wasn't very satisfied with the name Granny Liu got, but she knew that Granny Liu didn't have any cultural names, so she agreed.
…
The next day…
In the private room on the second floor of Jingshui Restaurant…
"What a delicious tea! I've never drunk such a top-grade wine since I was young…
However, no matter how good this tea was, it was the most common tea among the previous emperors of our Great Jin and even the emperors of the previous dynasties.”
"But she (Old Lady Zhen) deceived the Retired Emperor and this one for the rest of her life.”
The Emperor took a sip of tea and placed it on the table, beginning to be intoxicated.
However, as he spoke, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.
With a slap, the teacup on the table fell to the ground.
His words were full of resentment, but it also showed that Old Lady Zhen had deceived the Retired Emperor and the entire palace.
Lying to the Retired Emperor was because the Retired Emperor's food and clothing had never changed, so the Retired Emperor didn't notice, but it was also because of this that she could cover the sky with one hand in the palace.
Old Lady Zhen had been favored by the Retired Emperor since she entered the palace. He had never had any good tea since the first time he drank tea.
He mistakenly thought that the best tea in the world was just the one he used to drink often.
At the same time, he never knew that eggs were so cheap.
Facing the Emperor's anger, Jia Lian and Liu Wen did not dare to reply.
"Minister Jia, I heard that you were unfilial and abused your grandmother at home. Is this true?”
After the Emperor finished venting his anger, he asked Jia Lian indifferently.
Hearing the Emperor's words, Jia Lian quivered and hurriedly said to the Emperor,"
"Reporting to the Sage, my grandmother is getting old. Every now and then, when she is not feeling well, she will take an invitation and ask the imperial physician in the palace to treat her.
This official originally thought that it would not be a good thing to trouble the imperial physician in the palace for this matter. If at that time, the noble in the palace happened to have a difficult illness…"
"It just so happened that the imperial physician who was good at this was invited by my grandmother to delay the noble person's treatment.
Therefore, I asked the imperial physician who treated my grandmother. The imperial physician said that my grandmother's body was fine because she ate too many delicacies and sat down every day.”
"So in order not to trouble the Imperial Physician in the Palace, this official took the initiative to let Grandmother eat lighter so that Grandmother could live to a hundred years old. At the same time, he dismissed this young servant girl and replaced her with a few sensible old women to serve her.”
"This old woman is meticulous and experienced in serving people. Moreover, she can accompany her grandmother at home every day and have endless things to say.”
Jia Lian thought that the matter of him embezzling Grandmother Jia's food must have been the work of the Second household to make people impeach him.
However, he still began to make up a detailed story to the Emperor.
What he meant was to tell the Emperor that the old lady had eaten too much oil and was too lazy to have her heels hurt, so in order to prevent the old lady from moaning, he could only let her eat light food.
"Yes! It seemed that there must be a villain behind this.”
The Emperor listened to Jia Lian's nonsense and believed it.
Thinking about how Jia Yuanchun had come to him last night and cried about how Jia Lian was a bastard and how he abused his family, the Emperor's impression of Jia Yuanchun was greatly reduced.
Now that he heard Jia Lian say this, the Emperor also remembered that it seemed to be…
