Chapter 534 Auspicious Golden Pig
Chapter 534 Auspicious Golden Pig
The next day, everyone in Anzhou knew that Fu Tongpan had suddenly suffered from hysteria and fainted in front of the government gate.
Insiders whispered privately:
The magistrate mistook the sow for a donkey and rode it.
Some people became furious in public and argued angrily with people who knew the truth, saying that Lord Fu was dedicated to the people and had become ill from overwork. Even if Lord Fu rode a sow, so what? He was so tired that his eyes became damaged.
Someone agreed: That’s right, we are riding animals anyway, so what’s the difference between riding a donkey and riding a pig?
When the refugees in Anzhou heard that Lord Fu was ill, they gathered at the gate of the government office to inquire for information.
The crops on Xishan and Anlianshan have not been harvested yet, but Lord Fu fell down first!
In the emperor's bedroom, Eunuch Fu told the emperor about Fu Tongpan's hysteria.
The emperor laughed and said, "Minister Fu is really painstaking. Those good-for-nothings must have gone to see Master Fu. Since Master Fu is ill, please send a royal doctor to treat Minister Fu and also send a lucky golden pig..."
Eunuch Fu accepted the order with a smile and retreated.
In Mingyi Lane.
Fu Jichang rarely gets a few days of rest.
The two entrances to Mingyi Lane were guarded, and officials who came to visit the government office were not allowed to enter.
The waiter said coldly: "Please go back, my lords. The emperor has sent a doctor to check Master Fu's pulse. Master Fu has worked too hard and his old illness has relapsed. He is resting and recuperating. Please do not disturb him."
When the officials heard that the emperor had sent the imperial physician and that the physician told Lord Fu to rest, who would dare to disturb Lord Fu?
All the officials in the government office left in disappointment.
I wanted to take this opportunity to have more contact with Mr. Fu, but it seems I was overthinking it.
The people of the Murong family had happy faces and secretly prayed that Lord Fu's hysteria would last longer.
Once he recovered, the Murong family would have a hard time.
Although Lord Fu is in Anzhou, someone is still investigating the Murong family's case.
Murong Kun and Murong Fu have been called in for questioning several times.
Murong Baoqian could no longer sit still. She didn't believe that the strong and healthy Fu Jichang would fall ill. There must be some other hidden story.
She secretly took her maid to Mingyi Lane.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I saw a group of officials retreating.
She tried her best to talk to the guard at the door, but he still refused to let her in, which made Murong Baoqian so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Guoguo and Zhengzheng ran over here.
Seeing Miss Baoxi's face flushed with anger, the two stared at her curiously.
Bao Qian waved to the two little ones excitedly as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
Guoguo recognized Baoqian, her face suddenly turned cold and she muttered, "Bad girl..."
He took his brother's hand and ran away.
Bao Qian: ...
Eunuch Fu brought a few people to Mingyi Lane.
The guard at the door saw that it was someone from the palace.
He ran in quickly to report.
The two little kids looked in surprise as the guards rushed into Fu Jichang's yard.
After a while, Fu Jichang tidied his clothes and walked out in a hurry with big strides.
Guoguo and Zhengzheng hid at the door of their house and watched secretly.
Few outsiders come to Mingyi Lane.
The people who came this time wore different clothes, and the two little guys were very curious.
Seeing the two children acting suspiciously, Ji Xiaobei strode over and looked up. Wasn’t that the eunuch who came in?
She hurriedly pulled the two little kids in.
The door slammed shut.
Someone is coming from the palace, we can't just look around!
The eunuchs in the palace are a special group. Out of curiosity, Ji Xiaobei bent over and leaned on the crack of the door, squinting his eyes to look out.
Guoguo and Zhengzheng followed suit, one squatting on the ground, and the other rubbing under Ji Xiaobei, sticking his butt out and looking out.
"Eunuch Fu, please come and wait for me to feel better. I will go to the palace to thank the Lord for his grace."
Fu Jichang looked grateful and polite.
"Master Fu has been worrying about the country and the people, and has become ill due to overwork. The emperor is thinking about you. If you have anything to say, please send someone to find me in the palace..."
As they talked, the two of them entered Fu Jichang's yard.
After a while, Eunuch Fu took his men and left.
Mrs. Lin called Ji Xiaobei from inside the house, and Ji Xiaobei responded and went to the kitchen.
The two kids opened the door, rushed out of the yard, ran to the gate of Fu Jichang's yard, and found that the door was ajar.
The two of them pushed the door open and went in.
Although Ji Xiaobei had repeatedly warned them not to enter Fu Jichang's yard, the two of them did not take it to heart and went to play in that yard as usual.
If I get caught by my mother, the worst that can happen is that I admit my mistake.
In the courtyard, Heita was guarding a large box and said with a smile, "The emperor has rewarded the master with many things in the past. This time, he not only sent the imperial physician, but also asked Eunuch Fu to deliver the reward!"
Just as Fu Jichang was about to speak, he saw two little kids walking towards him with their short legs.
"Guoguo, Zhengzheng, come here quickly! I'll get you something delicious!"
Fu Jichang shouted with a smile.
Eunuch Fu came and prepared a lot of snacks and dried fruits, which were all placed in the hall.
The two little kids stared at the red box on the ground.
Guoguo walked over and touched it, then asked curiously with big watery eyes: "What is this?"
"This is a gift from the Emperor. Want to see it?"
Fu Jichang pulled the little hair on her head affectionately.
Guoguo nodded honestly.
"Black Tower..." Fu Jichang asked the Black Tower to open.
Heita said with a smile: "There is a good thing inside!"
The little guy is familiar with the word "Emperor". Mrs. Lin once said that the Emperor is the Son of Heaven.
How powerful is Tian's son? This is a mystery to the two children.
When they heard that this thing was a gift from the emperor, they both touched it reverently again.
When the lid was opened, a golden pig was standing in the box.
When Ji Xiaobei saw the children coming in, he wanted to take them back.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she saw a dazzling object that almost blinded her titanium eyes.
What the hell is that?
Dazzling!
She covered it with her hand.
Look south again at the glowing thing.
Golden Pig!
Ji Xiaobei almost cried out.
Fu Jichang's attention was focused on the child and he didn't notice Ji Xiaobei standing at the door.
"Shake the pig!" Guoguo blurted out in surprise.
Her husband bought her a rocking horse, but she never got enough of it. Now, there’s a rocking pig.
Zheng Zheng looked at his sister in confusion.
Guoguo volunteered: "Shake the pig, it's a pig that can shake... go up..."
As he said this, he stretched his legs and was about to step up, which scared Ji Xiaobei.
He took a step forward, reached out and plucked the fruit down.
Fu Jichang's face changed with fright.
How can the reward from the emperor become a child's toy?
Guoguo saw that it was his mother, so he pulled her hand and said, "Mom, pig... I want to play..."
