Chapter 430 Uncle He Goes
As it was getting darker, Xiaodie offered to leave, lest anyone see them.
Madam Xia couldn't keep her, so she could only say, "Check the contents of the box."
"No need, Xiaodie trusts you and that person, so let's say goodbye here."
After watching their carriage go further and further away, the nanny beside her spoke.
“This girl is clean and pure, without any seductive feelings, I’m sure she will live a good life in the future.
Even if I don't get married, I can live a good life in the second half of my life with the money you and the eldest princess add.
He doesn’t look stupid.”
Madam Xia smiled and said, "Not only is he not stupid, he is also very smart.
If I am not mistaken, her face is different from the last time.
It must be difficult to hide one's appearance so well in a place like that."
In the carriage that had just left the city, the master and servant changed into men's clothes and prepared to sit outside to drive the carriage.
The little maid accidentally knocked over the box, and saw some gold bars and silver bills scattered all over the floor.
She exclaimed: "Master, how can there be so much silver?"
A tear fell from Xiaodie's eye, and she choked up as she said, "This is not mine, it must have been put there by Madam Xia and the eldest princess.
Afraid we would starve to death if we left.”
“Is that so? No wonder the young master gave the box to them for safekeeping.
Not only is there no less, there is even more. They are really a family of good people.
So where are we going now? To your favorite place in Jiangnan?"
Xiaodie looked into the distance and said, "Go to the Northern Dynasty. If the princess doesn't mind, I'll be her slave.
Or you can just be someone who plays music, so that when the princess is tired, she can listen to a few songs.
You have already come out of the brothel, so you don't have to go with me to repay the favor if you meet a good family on the way.
You can also get married directly, and I will give you some dowry money from this."
The little maid pouted her lips, looking very reluctant.
"No, I don't want to. You bought me with your money, so I should serve you, young master.
Wherever you go, I will go.
What's more, what's the good of getting married? Those farm men will just go to brothels to have fun when they have money.
If you don't know the right person and marry that kind of person, you will have no place to cry."
The disdainful tone made Xiaodie so amused that she nodded her head and said, "Not all men are like this.
Maybe you'll be lucky enough to meet someone who lives a down-to-earth and honest life."
"Tsk tsk~~~These words can only appease a woman who knows nothing. As for me, forget it."
Three years passed in a flash. During this period, Xia Yining lived in Nanxu for one and a half years and in Beichao for one and a half years.
Now that the two countries are growing stronger, the people can have enough food to eat and no longer go hungry.
Children from many families were able to go to school. In order to improve the status of women, she assisted officials in promulgating many laws and rewards and punishments during the three years.
For example, if a girl in a family goes to school, she can go to the nearest town to do business when she grows up and will be exempt from taxes for the first three years.
There are many discounts for children to go to school.
As a result, many people want their family to have better descendants when they get married, so they would rather pay a high price to marry a daughter-in-law who is literate.
I also don't want a daughter-in-law who is illiterate and knows nothing.
The common people saw a chain reaction and were willing to send their girls to school in order to get more dowry in the future.
Of course, these girls were also very competitive and learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting and business skills in school.
Many people gradually reveal their abilities in front of their families and have the right to decide on their own marriages.
Most of the female students who graduated from the school are living well now.
Many women were grateful for the contributions of the Princess of National Defense, and the incense in the Goddess Temple became more and more prosperous.
Some of the statues in the temples have even been gilded and renovated.
In the residence of Princess Nanxu who protects the country.
Xia Yining was wearing a bright red brocade dress embroidered with gold thread. She was eighteen years old now and was becoming more and more beautiful.
A little maid came running in from outside and almost fell to the ground because she was too anxious.
The gatekeeper felt nervous and quickly reached out to help her.
"What's going on? Walk slowly. The princess is reading a book."
"Thank you, sister. Something big has happened. I'll talk to you later."
"Princess, Princess, there's a letter from Odamura."
This sentence instantly attracted everyone's attention. All the servants in the mansion knew that it was the hometown of the eldest and second masters of the He family.
It is also the place that the eldest princess cares about most.
Xia Yining sat up straight and read the content of the letter, which was the news of the death of He's uncle and aunt.
In the past three years, she has not only been to the two countries, but also visited Xiaotian Village several times. Every time, she was received by Uncle He.
The He family's courtyard in the village was kept clean and tidy, and everything inside was very well preserved. One could tell at a glance that people went there often.
The area around my parents’ graves is also very clean, with trees and flowers planted beside them, without even a speck of weeds.
All matters were taken care of by Uncle He's family, and she was grateful.
Xia Yining sat there for a long time without replying, and felt sad.
It is said that the departure of loved ones is a long and wet journey. Every time she returns to the village and sees the He family, she feels that the connection with her parents is still there.
Now that my father's only elder brother is gone, there will be no home in Xiaotian Village from now on.
She held back her tears and asked, "Have you told Brother He and Brother He? When are you going to leave?"
A notification was heard outside. He Xinglang, wearing a royal blue robe, was now an official of the imperial court.
Time has not left any traces on his face, but instead added a bit of mature charm.
Now he is married and married to the eldest daughter of a civil servant in the capital. They have a son and no backyard.
My fate with my wife was predestined. When I was leaving the city and saw someone fall into the water, I went to rescue him myself.
After getting married, the two loved each other very much. They were inseparable wherever they went and even took away food when they ate out.
Over time, it became a legend in the capital.
"Don't be sad, Ning'er. My brothers at home have already sent a letter saying that my uncle and aunt had a premonition.
When he felt that his time was running out, he went to the mountain to clean up his parents' graves again, and said that he also wanted to be buried there.
She said the place you chose is very good and beautiful. "
Xia Yining felt helpless after hearing this, and thought that the He family really did not take life and death lightly and were even in the mood to make jokes.
Speechless and doting, she chuckled: "Little brother, I am the one who thinks so."
"Not really, you are very kind to your family members and are very filial.
I have a very soft heart, so it's normal for me to feel sad.
But, those who are gone are gone, and we who are still alive still have to live well. "
"Yes, you are right. Let's set off immediately to see you off for the last leg of your journey."
