Chapter 762： The whistleblower is busy

Chapter 762: Busy informing the public

In just three to five days, everyone knew that Princess Kangle of Suijintan was very lucky.

Even the talkative women on the streets can speak three or five sentences at random...

Whether it’s good or bad, it’s worrying to see a girl’s family receiving so much attention.

So Mrs. Jia Er sent her mother-in-law to deliver a bucket of live fish to the Li family.

Old Mrs. Li asked her mother-in-law to sit down and chat.

The woman was also talkative. She told Mrs. Li a lot about the latest news in the city and added a few words at the end.

“The person with the most rumors in the city recently is the princess of your mansion.

“Everyone said that the princess was very lucky, and she wished that flowers could bloom everywhere when she walked around the wasteland.

“Yesterday, my wife went to attend a family friend’s child’s birthday party, and we heard people talk about it for a long time.

“No, I’ll send the old slave over today to give the old lady a heads up.”

Old Mrs. Li frowned when she heard this. This was really a show of excitement. She saw it in front of her house.

"When did this happen? Why did it suddenly spread that my princess was blessed?"

The mother-in-law replied: "It must have been four or five days ago. It seems that at the Gu family's flower viewing party, the princess saved a little maid who almost drowned. Many people saw it, and it spread that the princess was capable and capable. The words of blessing are over.

“After that, it became more and more outrageous and lively, and almost everyone in the city knew about it.”

Old Mrs. Li suddenly remembered that her second son seemed to have never returned to the old house since that day.

She was also wondering what her son had been busy with recently. It turned out that something like this happened, but he just hid it from her!

It was time to send the mother-in-law away. The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the more something was wrong. Just when she was about to send someone to the princess's mansion to call her granddaughter, Mrs. Liu also sent her personal mother-in-law to deliver the things.

This time, the Liu family sent two cages of pheasants with very colorful tail feathers.

The mother-in-law of the Liu family is also a clever talker. After all, she cannot be stupid if she can be sent out by her master.

“Old madam, our husband went hiking with his friends to enjoy the scenery, and the caretaker at home caught so many pheasants.

“Our wife said that this pheasant meat stick is not delicious, but the soup is very good.

“And the tail feathers of this pheasant are also beautiful. Maybe the princess will like it, so she urged the old slave to send two cages over.”

Mrs. Li nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Your wife is more thoughtful, our princess likes these weird things.

“Yesterday I went to the chicken farm and caught a few roosters and plucked their feathers to make shuttlecocks for Star and Crescent Moon.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t find the one I wanted, but I scared those roosters half to death. Now that it’s better, she’s going to be happy.”

“Oh, that’s a coincidence. After I got back, the old slave told our lady, our lady must be happy. Our lady said she was busy these days, otherwise she would have come here in person today.”

The mother-in-law took advantage of the situation and said: "I have been hearing people talk about the princess recently, and they praise her constantly. Our lady is thinking about the princess very much. If you have free time in the next few days, you must come and sit down."

Speaking and listening to the sound, Mrs. Li understood immediately.

This is because Mrs. Liu also heard the rumors about the good news and sent someone to remind them.

She was anxious at that time and asked a few questions carefully.

The mother-in-law also knew everything, and finally said: "Our wife heard that something was wrong and was worried that the princess would suffer a loss, so she sent the old slave to go."

Old Mrs. Li quickly called someone to pick a basket of cantaloupe in the field and asked the Liu family's mother-in-law to carry it back. Then she called her daughter-in-law and granddaughter back to discuss it without stopping.

Tao Hongying takes care of a large family of people, old and young, every day, which is very hard.

Although I have hired two young daughters-in-law from the second village as helpers in the past two years, and they have people to help with laundry, cooking and cleaning on weekdays, she, as the head of the house, still has to worry and work hard.

Today she finally had free time to go to the second village and talk to Xiao Cuier.

After sitting there for a while, she heard that her mother-in-law was looking for her. She quickly said goodbye to Xiao Cui and walked home.

Old Mrs. Li was walking around under the eaves of the corridor with her hands behind her back, holding in her hand a dry tobacco stick that she had not taken out for a long time.

Tao Hongying saw it when she entered the hospital and was very confused.

You should know that my mother-in-law only smokes cigarettes when she is worried.

The life at home has been very quiet recently, nothing happened. Why did I find the cigarette rod?

Old Li was so eager to get his daughter-in-law back that he pulled her into the house and started asking.

“You have heard recently that gossip about our lucky girl is spreading everywhere in the city.”

“What gossip? Why didn’t I know?” Tao Hongying was confused.

Mrs. Li angrily pinched her daughter-in-law on the arm and said angrily: "You squat at home every day, get into the stove and never come out, and you never walk around the city. What do you know!"

Tao Hongying felt guilty and did not dare to respond.

Logically speaking, the Li family only has two daughters-in-law, she and Zhao Yuru. Zhao Yuru is in Luo'an and doesn't come back often, so she is the only one in charge of the family.

She should often go to the city and socialize with various families.

But the thought of sitting with those noble ladies, wearing fake smiles and exchanging compliments, made her tired.

With this free time, she might as well come up with a few new dishes, her family will be happy eating them, and she can still make money by sending them to restaurants...

So, for so long, she has been able to avoid these social activities.

Fortunately, Wan'er was there to support her at the Earl's Mansion, her daughter was there to personally come forward at the Princess's Mansion, and her uncle also made arrangements for matters there.

Laozhai usually only walks around with the Liu family, Jia family and Guo family, which is very simple.

Orange Mrs. Li also knows her daughter-in-law’s temper.

In the final analysis, they all come from humble backgrounds and are not well adapted to the wealthy life...

She sighed and quickly told the story.

Tao Hongying didn’t react at first. After all, it’s not a bad thing to hear someone praise her child.

It was Mrs. Li who broke it into pieces and gave it to her daughter-in-law for analysis.

“You fool, you do everything too far! Our Fu Niu is not rich, how can everyone like her and praise her?

“And this rumor came out suddenly, as if to let the whole Kyoto know, the word ‘blessed’ must be pinned on Fu Niuer!

“There must be someone behind this!”

Tao Hongying frowned and felt something was wrong!

"Mom, if someone is really up to something, what's the purpose?" She asked in a low voice, "You can't possibly force Fu Niu'er to marry into the palace, right? After all, only royals dare to say they are very lucky!

“However, the emperor’s eldest son died early, the second prince was a sick child, and the third prince was only two years old. All in all, none of them were suitable!

“It can’t be…”

Mrs. Li's face turned dark when she heard this. She quickly interrupted her daughter-in-law and scolded her in a low voice: "What nonsense! Fu Niu'er is only ten years old, who can make such an idea?!"

She lowered her voice even more angrily and said, "I heard that there is a rule at the seaside. When the Dragon King is angry and there is a storm on the sea, the most beautiful girl from the fisherman's family must be thrown into the sea as a sacrifice to calm the Dragon King. of anger.

“Nowadays, someone deliberately spreads the rumor that our lucky girl is blessed everywhere. Everyone knows it and everyone believes it.

“What if one day there is an earthquake, drought or flood, and someone shouts that God is angry and needs to be sacrificed, should we sacrifice Fu Niu’er, the most blessed person?

“Our family just doesn’t agree. People say that only the most blessed person can calm down the disasters from heaven, and we can force our family to oppose everyone.

“No matter how powerful our family is, can we still stand against the entire Tianwu?!”
