Chapter 96 Birthday and Festival(2/2)

The well-informed Emperor Zhaode stumbled a bit when he spoke:

"Here, is this from Tunan?"

"yes."

A Chi smiled and took the opportunity to say something nice: "Tu Nan tried his best to find this foal for the girl, but Master Shao introduced a horse dealer from the west. I heard that there was a military attache outside Beijing whose family was in trouble. What? They were all sold. This horse was collected by the horse dealer and sold to Tunan for more than ten taels of silver. This colt was not in such good shape when it first came. Fortunately, Tunan knew how to look after horses since he was a child and gave it to him. After taking some herbal medicine and taking careful care of it for more than half a month, it looks like this."

Tunan can not only feed people, but also treat horses!

But now Zhao Surui can't care about this anymore.

"How about I call you...Black Horn? It's not impressive enough...How about I call you General Yunteng, who is soaring to the sky?"

Achi closed her mouth, and the word "exaggerated" floated in her heart, but she suppressed it with her respect and love for the girl.

"This horse is born really well."

Bai Yindi and Qi Xiu'er followed Cui Jinniang to kowtow to "Ms. Shen". When they saw the white horse with its bright coat, they couldn't help but praise it.

Qi Xiuer tugged at the hem of her clothes and she quickly shut her mouth.

Zhao Surui is not angry. What he likes should be praised by everyone in the world.

"That's right! He was born well! Should he be called... Shu Yun Jiyue or something, Marshal?"

After thinking about a name for the horse for a long time, Emperor Zhaode couldn't even choose a name that satisfied him. Any one of them was good, but none of them was good enough.

On the contrary, the man standing guard next to him was slapped in the face with a bunch of strange names, and his brain seemed to be damaged. "Marshal" and "General" kept spinning in his mind.

He held washed cabbage leaves in his hand to feed the horse, and asked someone to prepare soybean candy. Zhao Surui sometimes touched the horse's mane and sometimes its tail.

Like a monkey.

Finally, the wise and powerful Emperor Zhaode calmed down and looked at Cui Jinniang:

"What's the latest news?"

"When I get back to my wife, the people over there think that the prince has been captured by the West Factory and is now cowering away and not daring to move. However, the people who were sent out before are moving more frequently."

Zhao Surui nodded and took the envelope from Cui Jinniang's hand.

"What news did you two get?"

Bai Yindi boldly said: "Returning to the girl, we just heard that the girl has a birthday today, so we came to wish her a birthday."

The two of them also knew that it was unreasonable to do this based on their background, but last time the girl was kind to them, they also gained a little courage.

The birthday gift for the two of them was simple. It was a hand-embroidered purse, which could be used for both personal use and appreciation. The material was average and the stitching was not outstanding, but it was neat.

Zhao Surui didn't care about this. He asked Achi to grab a handful of silver coins and reward them to the two of them:

"You two should only use your intentions to find out the news. As long as you do a good job, I will definitely give you a reward!"

Thank you both very much.

Looking at the silver lock with the words "Boundless Happiness and Longevity" printed on it in her hand, Qi Xiuer, who was used to being cautious, bit her lips and said softly:

"Girl, can I exchange these silver coins for a few with auspicious words on them?"

After saying that, she regretted it again and knelt down quickly, and was supported by Achi again.

Zhao Surui looked at his new foal again and said casually:

"If you want any auspicious words, just take them and don't need to change them. I still say the same thing, just do your job well and don't worry about anything else."

Qi Xiuer kowtowed before getting up.

Achi poured some silver coins from his purse for her to choose. Qi Xiuer didn't really know many words, so she asked Achi to tell her what they meant.

In the end, she chose a few silver medals that were "loving to learn and seek truth" and "passed the exam".

Seeing her eyes almost sparkling, Achi couldn't help but smile and said:

"Do you have a son at home? You prayed specifically for him?"

Qi Xiuer was a little embarrassed to say it, and hesitated for a while before saying: "I have a daughter, but it is inconvenient to follow me...I heard that women who study can now become female officials. I want to ask for some silver coins. In the future, she

If she can get into school, I will give it to her."

What she said naughtily was such a wonderful dream that Qi Xiuer didn't even dare to have it at night.

Her shoulders were still hunched. If she had talked about these things in the past, she would have been beaten if she rocked her waist even a moment slower to catch her breath. And how could anyone listen to what she wanted? She would be worried about everything.

It's just a disgusting idea.

When Qi Xiu'er said it, she only intended it to be made fun of, but unexpectedly, the noble Miss Shen said, "It sounds good."

She raised her head carefully and accidentally glanced at "Ms. Shen".

I could only see Mrs. Shen looking at her with a smile from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Her eyes were not gentle, but more like she was judging her.

What Mrs. Shen said made Qi Xiuer panic.

"You're a good mother-in-law."

In Zhao Surui's opinion, mothers who plan for their children are good.

This day was still the day when he and Shen Sanfei were "connected with each other". Zhao Surui and Xiao Maju spent the whole day playing without caring about anything and even forgot about this.

"Your Majesty, you gave the horses fourteen names in the past with just one stick of incense."

Shen Shiqing couldn't bear it and said to Zhao Surui,

"The name you chose is really... eye-opening."

Unexpectedly, the name he silently recited in his heart was heard. Zhao Surui choked and almost hiccupped. In order to prevent Shen Sanfei from grabbing his sore spot, he quickly said:

"I had a great time today, and I was happier than before."

Of course Shen Shiqing knew what day it was, but she only said: "As long as your Majesty is happy."

She would also be happy if a female official could go to court.

This can be regarded as her birthday gift to herself.

After touching the horse's mane up and down and almost looking like it was real, Zhao Surui finally said in his heart:

"Shen Sanfai, you...Oh, it's a pity. Tunan's longevity noodles are pretty good, but it's a pity that you, the real master, can't eat them."

Shen Shiqing didn't answer.

The lights were bright, the shadows of candles were dim, the people inside the imperial city were approving memorials, and the people outside the imperial city were looking at riding whips and thinking of names. They both seemed to be watching their hands busy, and no one could have imagined that the two of them actually had the same understanding.

Half of an hour had passed, and just when Zhao Su Rui was mentally criticizing Shen Sanwei for being a vegetarian, someone knocked on the back door of Shen's house.

It's Bai Yindi.
