Chapter 43 The Queen's Reward Enters the Palace
The empress dowager admired Yan Chaonian more because of her brocade weaving skills, and even planned to open a class in the capital and invite Yan Chaonian to teach. If a girl from an ordinary family has a skill to support herself, her life will be much better both in her parents' home and in her husband's home, and she can support herself even if she does not get married.

But she still needs to think about this matter carefully.

After a while, the emperor also came and his eyes fell on Yan Chaonian. After learning from the empress that she was also the owner of Southwest Brocade Workshop, he became interested and asked her many questions about brocade. He also told her to come and pay her respects to the empress when she was free and then talk about the Southwest Brocade Industry in detail.

After everyone left the palace, the emperor stood in front of the queen and asked, "Are you sure it's the former young lady of the Jiang family?"

The queen nodded, "She followed Old Madam Jiang into the palace a few years ago. It was indeed her."

The Queen Mother also said of her, "The world is unpredictable. Who could have thought that she would return to the capital in such an identity?"

The emperor found it interesting. He was a little surprised when he received the news yesterday. It was really because what the Jiang family did back then was too outrageous, which was why he deliberately suppressed the Jiang family's title. Now it seems that he did the right thing. He couldn't let the generals' families down.

The Queen Mother stroked her sleeves and said, "This brocade weaving skill is truly amazing. I don't know how many years it took to learn it."

The Queen continued, "I haven't heard the Jiang family mention it before."

"I'm afraid the Jiang family thinks this is a shameful skill and doesn't bother to mention it."

The Queen Mother made a judgment on the Jiang family. "That family has been behaving badly recently. They are not suitable to inherit the title. Let's wait and see."

The emperor nodded, said a few more words and then went away. The empress sent the queen mother back to the palace, and then sent people to take care of Yan Chaonian. The queen mother was not from a prominent family and was most concerned about the suffering of the people. Judging from her appearance just now, she was afraid that Yan could still be of use.

After returning home, Yan Chaonian first drank a glass of water, and then asked Shuiyun to take off the gold collar on Yuan Xun's neck, "Give him something to eat, he's hungry."

Shuiyun left holding the yawning Yuan Xun in her arms, and Aunt Wu came over with a dozen servants. These people had been bought back a few days ago, and the mansion had not prepared anything for them earlier, and some of them were wearing tattered clothes, so Aunt Wu took them downstairs to teach them the rules and buy them clothes.

"Madam, these people have simply taught the rules, and you decide how to arrange it."

Her eyes swept over these people, and they all looked either sad or uneasy. She leaned back and said, "Now that you are in the mansion, don't look sad. If you are not satisfied, you can tell me. I will send you back and you can find a better place to go."

Who can be happy after coming back from a tiring half-day to have to look at these people with bitter and resentful faces?

There were a few who claimed that they came from wealthy families before, but now they were in this place and it was hard to accept and adapt. When they heard the host say this, they felt a little dissatisfied and showed it on their faces. Yan Chaonian did not indulge these people and only instructed Aunt Wu, "Send the five on the right back to the pawnshop and ask for five more. You don't have to choose those who have enjoyed good fortune before. If they don't understand the rules, they will be taught slowly when they come. Don't force them if they are unwilling."

Aunt Wu was also dissatisfied with several of them. When she was selecting them that day, their performance was acceptable. Considering that they knew a lot and knew the rules, she accepted them. However, she didn't expect that they were such careless people.

The five people were a little panicked. Before they could struggle, Li Liang came up. The five people didn't dare to say a word and walked out obediently.

The remaining twelve people knelt on the ground together, "Madam, we dare not have any second thoughts. We only hope that the master will survive and let us have a place to settle down."

What good can come from being sent back to the dental clinic?

The current host family is already very good.

"Since you are here, you must be down-to-earth and do your duty. There are not many masters in the mansion. You just need to do your job well and don't worry about anything else."

Yan Chaonian looked at them lazily, "Everyone, get up." He instructed Aunt Wu, "Pick three maids to serve in the inner courtyard. The one named Xing'er and the five-year-old boy will follow Xun'er from tomorrow. You can arrange tasks for the others."

Wu Shen nodded, "That kid's name is Gou'er, and he didn't end up in a good family. His family sold him because they had too many brothers. Madam, you have to find him a new one."

The five-year-old dog was skinny and small, with big eyes, and looked quite cute. Aunt Wu felt sad when she saw him, so she bought him specially, thinking it was a blessing for him.

"Let's call him Shuangshou."

Aunt Wu smiled and agreed, and said to the boy, "Shuangshou, why don't you thank Madam for the name."

Shuangshou knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Madam."

"Get up."

Yan Chaonian didn't want to scare such a young child, "From tomorrow on, you will follow the young master. The young master is naughty, you should watch over him more like a younger brother, eat what he eats, grow stronger so that you can take care of the young master."

Several people standing together showed envious looks. Not everyone is lucky enough to grow up with the young master. To put it bluntly, when the young master grows up and inherits the family business, as long as this boy has some skills, he will definitely be the steward of the mansion.

How respectable.

Aunt Wu quickly arranged the tasks for these people. Just when Yan Chaonian was about to lie down for a while, someone came from the palace. A fair-complexioned and handsome eunuch came on the orders of the Queen Mother to give Yan Chaonian a reward.

"Your Majesty, please ask Madam Yuan to rest more. Brocade weaving is difficult to learn. It would be a pity if such exquisite skills were lost."

"Thank you for your care, Madam Queen. Please tell Madam Queen on my behalf that brocade weaving is a skill passed down from my ancestors and I will not be unfamiliar with it."

Manager Wu smiled and handed over the purse, "My wife would like to invite you to have tea."

The purse was heavy, and the leading eunuch was very satisfied. He said a few polite words before leaving. Steward Wu and his wife were very excited, "The queen has been rewarded. From now on, the madam will have a firm foothold in the capital."

Yan Chaonian was also happy. With her previous experiences, she was prepared to be humiliated and ridiculed when she returned to Beijing this time. People in the world are so mean to women, and rarely sympathize with women who are divorced by their husbands. They will only be more harsh on them. Men treat women like this, and women treat women even worse, as if they are no longer worthy of a good life.

Now with the reward from the Queen, her life will be much better.

It is true that the man you marry is important, but having a skill is even more important.

"I'm going to take a rest. The general won't be back tonight, so you don't need to work too hard."

She went back to the yard and lay down, and quickly fell asleep. However, just after drinking the medicine, Old Mrs. Jiang became completely uneasy. She ordered people to find out about Yan Chaonian's movements. When she learned that she had entered the palace and received a reward from the Queen, she almost vomited blood.

He pounded the bed with his clenched fists and gritted his teeth, "This bitch!"

"Telling her story to the people at Yuanqiju would be embarrassing, but it wouldn't be me."
