Chapter 622 Reward
Chapter 622 Reward
Seeing this, Nier quickly explained, "This is a backpack," she said while gesturing with her hands to show the size of a normal backpack, "A normal backpack is this big, and is used to carry things on the back."
The princess was obviously very interested in this new toy and couldn't put it down.
"Then I'm going to go to your restaurant to eat and draw all the remaining blind boxes." The princess said excitedly.
Nier felt a little happy, but more worried.
She thought to herself that if the princess really came to her restaurant to eat, and something like what happened today happened again, she would probably not have enough heads to chop off even if she had ten!
Moreover, the princess was of noble status. If she came to eat in the restaurant, wouldn't the place have to be cleared? What should we do?
Nier thought for a moment and finally said, "If the princess wants to eat, we'll bring it to you. There are too many people there and we're afraid to disturb your peace."
The Queen Mother also felt that it was inappropriate for the princess to eat in that kind of place. After all, the princess was of noble status, so how could she dine with common people?
This is not only a loss of status, but also likely to cause unnecessary trouble.
"If you want to eat, let them bring it to you. There are still assassins lurking in this palace. Wouldn't it be even more worrying if they left the palace?" The Queen Mother said with a worried look on her face.
When the princess heard this, she quickly moved to the queen mother's side, bowed like a well-behaved little rabbit, and said in a sweet voice, "Yes, mother, I will listen to you."
Not long after Nier returned home, rewards came flooding in.
All I heard was the eunuch shouting in a shrill voice: "Niu Xiaoni, accept the order!"
The sound echoed in the courtyard, as if it was about to break through the sky.
Upon hearing the shout, Niu Xiaoni's family hurried to the yard and knelt down in unison, with their heads lowered, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
"The Queen Mother, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:"
"Niu Xiaoni has saved the princess from danger twice. Her courage is commendable and her behavior is commendable."
"The Empress Dowager was very pleased with him. To commend his bravery, she gave him 100 taels of gold, 10 rolls of fine silk, 10 precious books, 8 boxes of special snacks, a jade pendant, and a set of pearl head ornaments to encourage him."
"Appreciate this!"
The whole family knelt in the yard in fear and trepidation, and respectfully accepted the Empress Dowager's decree.
I saw that the yard was filled with several large boxes, almost filling up the entire yard.
Upon seeing this, Nier hurriedly took out a five-liang silver ingot from her sleeve, walked quickly to the leading eunuch, and stuffed the silver ingot into his hand.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Father-in-law, you have worked hard on the journey. This little money is just to treat you and other father-in-laws to tea."
The eunuch took the silver, weighed it, put it in his arms, then turned around and left with satisfaction.
Yan Zi watched her father-in-law's back gradually disappearing, but her worry did not diminish in the slightest.
She hurriedly grabbed Ni'er's hand and asked with concern: "Ni'er, what happened? You saved the princess twice. Are you hurt? How come you didn't tell us about such a big thing!"
"If anything happens to you, I'd rather not have the money than let you get hurt!"
"Dealing with officials is no joke. You must be extremely careful! Mother only hopes that my daughter can live a free and smooth life."
Ni'er sensed her mother's worry, and quickly shook her head, comforting her: "Mom, don't worry, I'm really fine, I'm fine!"
As she spoke, she turned around briskly in front of Yan Zi.
Yan Zi was slightly relieved to see Ni'er so lively.
But she still asked worriedly: "What about the Queen Mother and the Princess? Are they good to you?"
Nier smiled and replied, "Mother, don't worry, the Queen Mother and the Princess are very nice people, and they are also very kind to me."
After hearing Ni'er say this, Yan Zi finally felt completely relieved.
Only then did she begin to look at the rewards, and a look of joy appeared in her eyes.
The whole family sat in the living room, with the items given by the Queen Mother placed in the middle. Everyone stared at these things curiously, reaching out to touch them from time to time, or coming forward to take a closer look.
Yan Zi stood aside, her face filled with excitement and joy. She said happily: "My daughter has just arrived in the capital not long ago, and she has been able to receive the reward from the Queen Mother. This is really amazing!"
The third child at the side also agreed with a smile: "Yes, our Ni'er is promising!"
Yan Zi then picked up a piece of cloth and said to Ni'er, "Wait, I will use this cloth to make you some new clothes. I promise that you will look beautiful in them!"
After hearing this, Nier became even happier. She imagined with great joy how she would look wearing the new clothes.
Except for Nier, no one else had ever seen such a thing as gold.
They gathered around the gold ingots, and everyone picked up a gold ingot curiously.
The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the gold like a golden veil, making the gold ingots emit a charming luster, as if they were part of the sun itself.
The soft light reflected in everyone's eyes, filling them with surprise and joy.
The third brother held the gold in his hands and was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
He said to Ni'er in a trembling voice: "My daughter, Daddy is not dreaming, is he? Is this really gold?"
Nier laughed out loud, like a silver bell, clear and pleasant to the ear.
She replied, "Of course it's true, Daddy, I'm not dreaming."
However, the third brother still seemed unable to believe the facts before him.
He murmured to himself, "How is this possible? I have never seen so much gold in my life!"
Seeing this, Ni'er could only smile helplessly, then stretched out two fingers and twisted the third brother's arm.
“Ouch!” The third child suddenly cried out and frowned, but then he laughed happily, “Ouch, that hurts! Hahaha, it seems that this is really not a dream, the gold ingots are so beautiful!”
No one knew what the third brother was thinking of. His face was clouded with gloom, his brows were furrowed, and he stared at Ni'er worriedly.
"But, my girl, this money is not so easy to earn. I am a noble in the palace, and my status is extremely noble."
"If you are not careful and say something wrong and make them unhappy, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"It would be easier for them to kill us than to crush an ant."
"So, I think it's better for us to have less dealings with them and just run our own small business honestly." The third brother advised earnestly.
Seeing this, Ni'er quickly comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. Just have less contact with them in the future."
"Besides, I know your daughter well and know what to say and what not to say."
