The next morning, after classmate Xiao Zhu had eaten and drank enough, she lay on the bed and looked at the gadgets pendant above her head.
My mother and several maids were threading needles and threads. It wasn't just the things he used. Ma had been doing this since Zhu Yuanzhang started his army, weaving clothes and shoes for the soldiers.
"Wen Zhong is celebrating his birthday, right? Give him the clothes I made last month. And how are the families of those Huaixi generals doing? Are the orphans of those soldiers in trouble?"
Ma's personal maid Ruyi returned, "Master Wenzhong's clothes will be sent tomorrow. Most of the old people are fine, but General Li's mother seems to be sick and has also called a doctor."
Ma put down what she was doing and saw classmate Xiao Zhu in a daze, so she picked him up, kissed him, and let him lie in his arms.
"I haven't greeted my children for more than a month. This is not good. Their husbands and sons are fighting for my husband on the battlefield, leaving women and children for me to take care of. I can't ignore them.
Ruyi was not happy and replied: "How can that marshal's wife take care of them like this? They are so grateful to you that they can't even shed tears!"
Ma glared at her, "Okay, I just asked you to run a few times, and you little girl started to complain.
Ruyi came over and picked up Xiao Zhu, gently held him in her arms and started walking in the house, "I'm not afraid of getting tired, but I don't have time to take care of you and the young master every day. What if something happens while I'm away?"
what to do!
Ma and the maid next to her joked a few words about Ruyi. Ruyi was the personal maid she had grown up with, and Ma trusted her the most, so Ruyi had been comforting her in the past few months.
Ma thought for a while and then said, "Go and ask Commander Zhang to come over.
The maid outside responded and went out.
If you wish, go and count all the money.
Ruyi talked for a while, knowing that her lady was going to sell out all her belongings again, but she didn't say anything more.
In fact, there is nothing to count. The total amount of scattered silver is only more than 400 taels, and the gold and silver jewelry are also pitiful.
Not long after, a strong man over 1.8 meters tall and wearing iron armor walked in from outside the room. When he got outside, he knelt on one knee and waited for orders.
Ma carried the child to the outer room, and could vaguely see the figure kneeling on one knee through the window paper.
The man raised his head and took a careful look at the fuzzy young figure through the window paper. His eyes were red and he immediately clasped his fists on one knee and shouted loudly, "General Zhang Yuan, see the mistress, see the young master!"
"Commander Zhang, please rise up. It's really thanks to you for guarding me day and night these days."
Zhang Yuan straightened his body and said, "It is my duty. How dare I accept the words of thanks from my mistress? My mistress summoned the general to come here with her instructions. The general will not hesitate even to the death!"
Ma touched the sleepy Xiao Zhu and said, "It's nothing important. I have more than four hundred taels of silver. Please lead me to buy some food and wine to eat with my brothers in the army. I will also buy some food to send to the generals and the orphans."
In the widow’s house.”
Seeing that Zhang Yuan did not respond immediately, Ma continued, "I don't have any expenses to live here, and it is useless to keep money. Don't be too little, just follow my instructions."
"No! I will thank my mistress on behalf of all the brothers for her kindness!" Zhang Yuan responded loudly.
They have been in the army for many years, but these people have never received any kindness from their mistress. Not only does the mistress have her own people make shoes, socks and clothing for the army, but the family always receives subsidies every year, and the mistress also prepares for the elderly when they die.
A gift, if Lord Majesty makes a mistake and goes to the mistress, it will probably save his life.
Ma greeted Zhang Yuan's newly born son, and asked Ruyi to take some things for the child and have them delivered to Zhang Yuan's residence.
Xiao Zhu looked at the respectful generals outside and puffed out bubbles happily. From this, he could feel that his mother was also widely respected in the military, and these things would eventually benefit him.
Otherwise, it can be said that Zhu Biao's position as crown prince was unprecedentedly stable in history.
“(▽｀) It’s great to have a mother!”
Wait! I guess not only Xiao Zhu thinks so, but also Lao Zhu. It seems that Lao Zhu fought so fiercely, and his mother’s contribution is not small. He is really an enviable man!"
Ancient people were not as refined and self-interested as modern people. They were more willing to pursue a belief: if you treat me as a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman!
"I wonder when Lao Zhu will come back? Does he really have a shoehorned face? I hope not!
