Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 155

~ PROVIDE FREE PORRIDGE FOR THE POOR ~ 

 
“Yunyao greets Governor Zhang and Madam Zhang. Greetings, Lord Cao and Lady Jin.” At the moment, she would naturally change her tune after officially acknowledging each other as relatives. Therefore, Mu Yunyao would only address them as Lord Cao and Lady Jin.

“Yao’er, get up quickly.” Cao Yunnian looked at her with satisfaction in his eyes.

Lady Jin also stood up and brought Su Qing to greet Governor Zhang and Madam Zhang.

The Governor’s wife personally helped Su Qing up. Her attitude was extremely gentle, “Madam Su, there is no need to be so courteous. Please take your seat quickly! Today is the most important day. We will talk together some other day. “

“Yes. Thank you, Madam Governor.”

The etiquette for recognizing the relatives was actually simple. Yin Hong placed the praying mat. Then, Mu Yunyao kowtowed to Cao Yunnian and Lady Jin to offer them tea.

After receiving the teacup, the two gave many faces, took a big gulp, and ordered someone to bring the tray over. Cao Yunnian removed the red cloth to reveal a golden bowl, a pair of golden chopsticks, a golden spoon, and a longevity lock.

Cao Yunnian passed the items to Mu Yunyao, saying, “From today onwards, you will be my wife’s and me’s adopted daughter. Your Mother and I hope you can live a long, peaceful life.”

Looking at this exquisite set of things, Mu Yunyao’s eyes filled with a genuine smile. “Yunyao kowtows to thank Father and Mother.”

“Alright, get up quickly.”

Mu Yunyao stood up: “Father, Mother, Daughter have also prepared something for you. I hope that Father and Mother will not dislike it.”

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao came in with a tray each.

Looking at the items on the tray, Lady Jin was slightly surprised, but her eyes lit up. “Child, the selection day is particularly close because it’s almost the new year. It has only been four or five days. Why did you prepare so many things?” Two sets of clothes for men and women are on the tray, prepared for Cao Yunnian and Lady Jin. The selected materials are very luxurious. If you look at them individually once the accessories are complete, you can see that some embroideries are particularly exquisite. No matter how fast Mu Yunyao’s embroidery was, she had to do it day and night.

The Governor’s wife couldn’t help but reveal an envious expression, “Yunyao, this child is truly filial. You two can consider yourselves blessed. Put on these two clothes at the banquet later, and let us admire you a little.”

Of course, Lady Jin was willing to give Mu Yunyao a face. She hurriedly nodded and agreed, “Alright, I’ll change in a while.”

Su Qing faces this kind of situation for the first time. Su Qing was a little helpless in her heart, but it was fortunate that Lady Jin treated her so intimately, and Mu Yunyao appeared to be especially dignified and proper. The crowd now held a bit more respect towards Su Qing. They talked to her very gently, which made her feel more at ease.

At this moment, there were porridge kitchens on the various main streets of Jingling City. Steward Qin had temporarily closed Bu Xian Luo and led Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others to help cook in the porridge kitchen.

The female embroiderers of Ni Yun Fang were not idle either. Some helped prepare the porridge, while others took the leftover clothes from the store and distributed them to the impoverished families. Seeing the enormous pot and the bags of food piled high behind them, the entire Jingling City was sensational. In the past, some people would give out porridge when celebrating the Laba Festival, but most would only act it. They were carrying two buckets of porridge. Then, they are given to the wandering beggars to show their kindness and spread their good reputation.

How could there be such a kind method of giving porridge? The commoner’s lives were always tight. Although their lives were slightly better this year due to the embroidery needle techniques that Mu Yunyao had taught them, the weather had suddenly turned colder. They needed to buy winter clothes but didn’t have enough silver taels. They thought they could save some silver at this moment, so they took their bowl and chopsticks and went to the streets to line up to receive the porridge. When the commoners got closer to the porridge kitchen and saw the porridge, they couldn’t help but open their eyes wide. Burning firewood was still placed under the temporarily built stove. A large pot of thick porridge was gurgling and bubbling. As each bubble spread out, a delicious fragrance wafted into the air. The porridge even has more benefits. The materials are glutinous rice, barley lotus seed, lily, red date, millet, walnut, lentil, etc. With a slight count, about a dozen or so materials were inside.

Steward Qin smiled as he filled a bowl for the first person to receive the porridge: “Old Man, take your time to drink. If it is not enough, you can drink it again. Just pay attention to line up.”

The old man who received the bowl of porridge beamed, “No need, no need. People won’t be able to eat much when they are old. With this bowl of porridge, I’ll be able to last me a day!”

Steward Qin was surprised. He took a spoonful of sugar from the wooden bucket beside him and poured it into the Old Man’s bowl. “Please enjoy it, Old Man.”

The Old Man was stunned for a moment before bowed and saluted. “Thank you, Shopkeeper Qin. Thank you, Lady Jin and Miss Mu.” Perhaps it was due to the influence of the Old Man’s behavior, so everyone who received the porridge would mutter thanks to Lady Jin and Miss Mu. Even a child who didn’t know how to speak expresses his gratitude while holding the bowl and stumbling, making Shopkeeper Qin really moved.

There were two pots in each kitchen. The wood burned vigorously to cook the porridge, and the speed increased. It still needed to be comparable to the pace of the people who received the porridge.

The majority of the people who received the rice porridge gave up their queue position, stood at the corner of the street with bowls in their hands, and began to drink. For a time, several streets were filled with the fragrance of porridge. The people talked to each other while drinking porridge, cheering and laughing as if the entire Jingling City became warm because of this porridge.

Inside the Cao family’s residence, the atmosphere was so lively. The male and female guests did not rush to take their seats and instead urged Cao Yunnian and Lady Jin to change the clothes that Mu Yunyao had made. They all knew that Mu Yunyao had exquisite embroidery skills and that she had spent three months preparing the New Year’s gift. Now, they can appreciate her craftsmanship; naturally, they don’t want to miss it. After all, this was the first time Mu Yunyao had made a man’s clothes.

When Cao Yunnian and Lady Jin changed their clothes and exited the living room, the lively hall suddenly quieted.

Cao Yunnian wore a dark blue robe embroidered with a dark and mysterious pattern on the collar. There was a cluster of monarch orchids pattern on the hem, and the orchids were vivid and lifelike. As he walked, they seemed to gently unfold the branches and leaves of the orchids, giving him an indescribably gentle and elegant feeling. Cao Yunnian seemed to be ten years younger.

Lady Jin, who was standing to one side, was even more outstanding. Her blue dress was embroidered with clusters of pink peonies that extended from her skirt to her waist, covering her bulging belly flawlessly. It didn’t make her look bloated at all. Instead, it added a sense of elegance to her body.

The most specific thing was that two dark blue butterflies were embroidered on the peony’s side. The butterflies’ wings stretched out as they danced around the peony.

The two sets of clothes looked so gorgeous when put alone. Now that they were placed together, it gave off the impression of a dark blue butterfly on Lady Jin’s body, fluttering past Cao Yunnian’s orchids. The Governor’s wife looked at it for a long time before suddenly praising, “Flower Butterfly. Lord Cao and Lady Jin are indeed a loving couple.”
