Chapter 173 Hui Shuren
Madam Liu was originally from a merchant family and later married Lord Liu.
At that time, her sisters laughed at her for marrying a poor boy with poor parents in poor health.
Not to mention the daughters of merchants, even ordinary people were unwilling to marry into the Liu family at that time.
That was the first time she met Liu Wendong in the north.
She had never seen such a handsome boy in the North. Although he was dressed in rags, it could not hide his handsome appearance.
Even in the most difficult times, Liu Wendong never abandoned his parents.
Madam Liu felt that this handsome young man was loyal and filial.
People in the north are very rough, and she has never seen such a gentle man.
Later, by chance, she met Liu Wendong several times.
Later, despite her family's opposition, she was determined to marry him.
In order to marry Liu Wendong, she had almost no contact with her parents' family.
After the war broke out at the border, Liu Wendong joined the army.
Over the years, Liu Wendong has risen from a centurion to a thousand-man commander, and now to a fifth-rank lieutenant general.
She also went from being an ordinary woman to the wife of an official.
When Liu Wendong was promoted, her family members took the initiative to contact her, but she turned them away.
When she gave birth to her son and Liu Wendong was not at home, she went to her parents' home for help, but was turned away.
Later, when the border was peaceful for a while, Liu Wendong took her back to the capital to settle down.
It was only after she married into the Liu family that she learned that Liu Wendong had a younger sister who was separated from her family when they fled north due to the disaster.
When her parents-in-law passed away, she was still talking about her sister-in-law whom she had never met.
Half of her husband's salary and money was used to hire people to find people.
My daughter was also named Xun, which means finding relatives and having a happy family.
Mrs. Liu never thought that it was wrong for her husband to be looking for someone for so many years.
When she wanted to marry him, wasn't it because of Liu Wen Zheng's character that she was attracted to him?
Mrs. Liu has one son and one daughter.
The son looks very much like Liu Wen Zheng, and the daughter looks even more like her.
That's why Madam Liu was so shocked when she saw Shen Tang.
Shen Tang's eyebrows and eyes are so similar to his son's. To be more precise, Shen Tang's eyebrows and eyes look so similar to Liu Wenzhen's.
In addition, Liu Wenzhen had been in the army for many years and had spent quite a lot of time away from home.
It inevitably made her suspicious.
-
Let’s talk about Shen Tang, Liu Xun and their group.
Originally, Mrs. Liu wanted Liu Xun to take the family carriage away, but was stopped by Shen Tang.
So, Liu Xun and his maid Xiaoman got on the carriage of Shen Tang and his group.
As soon as he left the capital, Shen Tang was eager to return home.
And it was the fifth imperial edict given by Emperor Jing that surprised her.
Slowly opening it, Shen Tang looked surprised.
This fifth imperial edict was actually addressed to Liu!
It has been quite some time since she left Jiangnan, and she has begun to miss Liu and Shen Dashan.
After walking on land for a few days, Shen Tang led his men directly by water, and the carriages and horses were taken back by other soldiers who had come with them.
On the morning of mid-December, Shen Tang and his group were the first to arrive at the Qingshan Town Pier.
Liu received Shen Tang's message early on, and when Shen Tang and others arrived at the dock, Liu came to pick them up in person.
"Thin."
Looking at Shen Tang's slightly pointed chin, I felt a little distressed.
"Let's go home. Mom will cook for you today."
It turned out that there were two strange girls coming with him.
"Mother, this is Ah Xun, the girl I mentioned in my letter. She's General Liu's daughter. I get along quite well with her. She happened to want to visit Jiangnan, so we came along."
Shen Tang briefly explained Liu Xun's identity.
"The general's daughter is extraordinary. She is used to being unrestrained at home, so please don't mind, young lady."
Liu Xun looked at Liu and said with a smile:
"I will bother you in the next few days."
"What are you talking about? I just like you girls. Shen Tang is busy every day, and now there is someone who can talk to me at home. I am so happy."
The group of people were carrying luggage, and some were holding hand warmers.
It didn't take long to get home.
Shen Tang introduced Liu Xun to Shen Qingqing and Shen Dashan.
When the family received Shen Tang's letter, they knew that Shen Tang was going to bring someone home, and they had already cleaned up the guest room early.
Luzhu and Chuqing distributed the specialties they bought in Beijing to everyone in the Shen family, from masters to servants. Although the values were different, everyone got something.
"Sister Xun, can I call you that? I'm Wanwan, Sister Tang's cousin."
Liu Xun bent down and pinched Shen Wanwan's face.
"You are Wanwan. Atang told me about you. You are very capable. You can read and write, and you can help Atang with the accounting. You are also the little teacher in the family!"
Shen Wanwan blushed when Liu Xun praised her.
How come this Sister Axun is just like her sister, praising people so directly?
As for Liu Xun calling Shen Tang Axun, it was also because they became familiar with each other along the way.
"Congratulations, Master and Madam. Our Marquis is now a Marquis."
After everyone sat down, Lu Zhu told Liu and others the news.
The Shen family members couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
My daughter went to Beijing and got promoted again!
Liu was happy and announced that she would pay two extra months' salary.
"My Lord, the Tao family, the Wu family, and the Liu family have sent invitations."
The servant handed the visiting card to Shen Tang.
"Send someone to inform these three masters and tell them that I will go to their houses in person in an hour."
"Mother, let's gather everyone in the mansion later."
Emperor Jing gave all these imperial edicts to Shen Tang and asked Shen Tang to be the person to announce the edicts.
She will be the one to issue the decree later!
After washing up, Shen Tang put on the marquis's clothes.
Everyone in the Shen family stood neatly in the front yard.
"Liu Hui from Shenjia Village, Qingshan County, received the order."
Everyone in the Shen family knelt down.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor declares: Liu Hui of Shenjia Village, Qingshan County, is virtuous, sincere, diligent, gentle, harmonious, and pure, and a role model for women. She is hereby canonized as Huishu!"
Liu's big eyes were full of disbelief. The imperial edict mentioned her name!
It turned out to be her name, Liu Hui!
Liu's eyes were filled with tears and her words were choked with sobs.
"Congratulations Hui Shuren."
Shen Tang handed the imperial edict to Liu with a smile. Liu hugged the imperial edict and cried uncontrollably.
Everyone is moving.
If a woman wanted to obtain an imperial decree, one option was to ask for a title for her husband, who had achieved great success, or to ask for a title for his mother, who had a promising son.
Now, she has become a lady of the third rank.
These were all brought by Shen Tang.
"Congratulations to Hui Shuren, congratulations to Hui Shuren!"
The servants all looked happy and kept congratulating Liu.
"Two months' salary as reward."
The servants of the Shen family immediately went to buy two strings of firecrackers and hung them directly at the door.
Although it is already the twelfth lunar month, there are not many people setting off firecrackers in the early part of the twelfth lunar month.
The news that Liu was conferred the title of Lady of Virtue soon spread throughout the alley.
After comforting the emotionally agitated Liu, Shen Tang took his men and horses out of the house and headed straight for the Tao family.
