remarrying husband

The day before China left, he ran outside Cao's mansion again and sent a post, begging to see him.

Although it was said that he was asking to see the Patriarch of the Cao family, Cao Zhihao, but everyone in the Cao family knew that it was because they hadn't given up before leaving.

At that time, Cao Simu had just had afternoon tea.

"Whoever provokes someone will deal with it." Cao Zhenling was too lazy to come forward.

Cao Simu glanced at Yu Xiumian, who remained motionless.

Really, after staying with his brother for a long time, people have learned to be bad!

"I won't go, candy, candy~" Cao Simu felt that the more he saw it, the more troublesome it would be, and it would be a bad idea to let the other party have a chance. He waved his hand and told her to hurry up.

Yu Xiu Mian glanced at Cao Zhenling, the latter didn't object, and he didn't say nonsense that it was unreasonable, that a girl's personal belongings could not be given away or other nonsense.Anyway, the two of the Cao family are totally missing a muscle.

Chi Na was still fidgeting in the hall, only hoping to meet again before leaving, or say a few words to make Cao Simu change his mind.

But it was a long time before that person came, and after a long time, Cao Simu's personal maid presented a simple jade hairpin.

While holding the jade hairpin, Chi Na closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Is there anything your lady wants you to bring to me?"

Candy's big round eyes looked at the man who seemed to be enduring pain, feeling a little regretful in his heart, "Miss asked me to tell you that you and I are not destined."

Chi Na laughed, and when he knew that the woman was Yu Xiu Mian's younger sister, he knew that they had no destiny.It's just... After all, I want to try, for that glimmer of hope, try.

In the early morning of the second day, Cao Simu, who got up early, did not practice martial arts as usual today, but stared at the sky in a daze.

Cao Zhenling walked slowly with his hands behind his back, "If you don't want to give up, then go."

"It's not reluctance, we are not suitable." Cao Simu looked back at him seriously, "It is not suitable at all."

"If you don't try it, how do you know it's not suitable?" Cao Zhenling asked him.

"Just because it's too unsuitable, there's no need to even try it," Cao Simu said.

Cao Zhenling didn't understand what Cao Simu meant by "unsuitable", did he like it or not?Or... fit?

The departure of the two barbarians in the north and the south indicates that there will be ten years of peace among the three, but if war breaks out again in ten years' time, it will be Zhao who will suffer.

No matter it is the southern barbarians or the northern barbarians, they are good at fighting and killing the enemy. One enemy may not be able to win the other. When fighting against the northern and southern barbarians, most of Zhao Guo has many people fighting.

Although Cao Simu and Cao Zhenling didn't care about Zhao Guo, if ten years later there was a war and Zhao Guo was defeated, they might not be able to live a stable life.

What's more, it is impossible for Zhao Guo to be able to defend by relying on Cao Zhenling and Cao Simu alone.

Therefore, we can only take the slant of the sword.

"Xiu Mian, let's talk." In order to have a safe life in the future and a suitable place for the elderly, Cao Zhenling decided to crack it.

Regardless of whether there are so-called laws, or rules, or other invisible laws.Cao Zhenling decided to touch it slowly to see where the bottom line is.

"Huh?" When will his incomprehensible little husband seriously want to talk to himself?

Is it because I haven't fed or smoothed my hair for a few days, and I'm in a hurry?

At the same time, in the capital, in the palace.

When Zhao Hechi heard the news that the envoys from the two countries had left, he slowly got up from the dragon chair, walked to the window, and meditated for a long time.

Jiu Shao, who has always been by the emperor's side, slowly walked out of the corner, put down the book in his hand, and asked calmly, "Emperor, why are you bothered?"

"I'm thinking about Mr. Yu." Zhao Hechi said straight to the point.

Jiu Shao raised his eyelids and looked at the Son of Heaven. Indeed, if he wanted to make good use of Yu Xiumian, he would have to go through six departments.

The Ministry of Rites has the lowest status among the six departments, so Yu Xiu Mian can just go there, and there is no need to wait for a long time.Yu Xiumian has the ability to govern the world and appease the people, so it is meaningless to put it in the Ministry of Rites.

"What is the emperor's plan?" Jiu Shao asked again.

Zhao Hechi suddenly looked back, "What do you think of Cao Zhenling?"

Jiu Shao didn't answer directly, but instead said, "The emperor is worried about how to arrange these two people, right?"

Zhao Hechi said "Yes" and nodded.

"Actually, Yu Xiu Mian has only been admitted to the number one scholar for two or three years now, and he has little experience. Although he has a high reputation, he is just a fledgling in the court. The emperor doesn't need to put him on a high place these few years. Why don't you send him out of the capital? Just like Lu An at that time, let him do more practical things? It can also stabilize his character, and he will be more loyal to the people and Zhao Guo." Speaking of this, he chuckled softly, "As for Cao Zhenling, it is even easier for General Cao, As long as he can stay by Yuxiu Mian's side, there will be no problems. The country of Zhao has a vast land and many things, and different states have different problems. For example, Tianqi State has fertile land, but most of them are mountains and hills, and bandits are rampant. This place is convenient A governing prefect and a general soldier are needed to destroy the bandits, and it is perfect for Yu Xiumian to go with Cao Zhenling.

These years, Cao Zhenling's character can also be seen a little bit, he is really a broad-minded person, he doesn't mind that Yu Xiumian can go higher and farther than him, and these past few years are just like the vows of the past.

Besides, I heard that Cao's eldest son has returned to Beijing... Your Majesty, do you know why? "

"En?" Zhao Hechi went to the desk to pick up the teacup, paused and asked, "Why?"

"Yu Xiu Mian is also 2425 years old. Lin'er may not be able to bear children at this age. The Cao family plans to adopt a child for them." Jiu Shao said slowly.

Zhao Hechi put the teacup to his lips, put it down slowly without drinking, and couldn't help sighing, "This Cao boy really values ​​love and righteousness, he is better than Lin Jinghui, and he is also upright."

"That's right. Although Cao's family has very few outstanding people, they are also loyal. Cao Zhihao, the elder, never even forced his second son to accept a joint house and have a son. With Cao Zhenling's current status, even if he keeps his son and goes to his mother There's nothing wrong with it. But he, Cao Jia, didn't mention it." There was a hint of admiration in Jiu Shao's words.

Zhao Hechi put his hands behind his back, raised his head and thought for a moment, "After this scientific examination is over, I will bring the two of them to Tianqi together."

"The emperor is wise." After thanking Jiu Shao, he picked up the book again and hid it in the corner.

On the other side, Yu Xiu Mian, who thought that the little husband was coming to have fun again, was ready to deal with it, but it was rare to see Cao Zhenling and Cao Simu sitting in the study with serious faces.

"Huh?" What's the matter?

"Xiu Mian, can you make the cement recipe I gave you last time?" Cao Zhenling asked.

"It was made three months ago, and I immediately ordered people to use it to reinforce the river bank." This is what worried most in ancient dynasties.

Cao Zhenling nodded slowly, "It's not only useful for that, but also for city walls, houses, road construction, etc."

"I will implement these slowly," Yu Xiu Mian said cautiously.

Cao Zhenling put one hand on the table and tapped the side of the teacup, thinking about where to start.

Cao Simu glanced at him, skipped over his elder brother and said directly to Yu Xiumian, "Brother Xiumian, you should know that the current state of Zhao will not be able to cope with the Nanman in ten years' time."

"Do you have a good plan?" Yu Xiu raised an eyebrow.

"A lot," Cao Simu sighed softly, "Where should I start? The whole Zhao country is old-fashioned. Ten years is not long, nor is it short. Listen to you."

Indeed, the ministers of the DPRK and China are very relieved to see the signing of the agreement, but they don't know what catastrophe the Zhao Guoguo will face in ten years' time.

"Let's just say, I'm not a mediocre person, and the emperor is not a stupid person." Even if he can't, he will make everything possible.

"For one thing, Zhao Guo can't defeat the northern and southern barbarians one-on-one, regardless of size or force, so it may be impossible for all the people to be soldiers in training, but those who have a son in the family and don't have a little bit of fame or who haven't studied since childhood You must serve in the military for about three years. Naturally, you will worry that ordinary people can practice martial arts, and it will be more difficult to discipline. At this time, you must arrange studies, study cultural courses in the army, and be loyal to Zhao. In this way, generals can also be selected on a large scale , and then cultivated by the court." Cao Zhenling elaborated on the details.

Yu Xiu Mian listened, picked up a pen, and jotted down the main points.

"Encourage land reclamation, encourage business, and elevate the status of businessmen. Business is a necessary condition for promoting social progress." Cao Simu murmured, "Besides, you don't necessarily have to study. 360 lines of business are the best. If someone knows how to farm, he should Commendation, if this person finds out how to farm the land to increase the yield, he should be commended, let him honor his ancestors, and promote the increase of food. Similarly, medical students and so on are fine. To promote exchanges, there is also a school in each state and county. Various disciplines, such as medicine, agriculture, etc. Only when the country of Zhao prospers and develops can it resist foreign enemies."

"The final trump card is..." Cao Zhenling was about to say it, but the pain in his chest almost made him bend down and hold his chest for a long time before he could catch his breath.

"Brother!" Cao Simu panicked and helped his brother up.

Yu Xiumian immediately dropped the pen, grabbed his hand, and felt his pulse.However, he couldn't see anything wrong, which made him even more anxious.

After a long time, Cao Zhenling panted slowly and shook his head slowly, "It's okay, I probably know the bottom line."

Cao Simu was startled, "Could it be?"

"Well..." Muskets cannot be brought into this society, and can only be developed slowly by this world.

Yu Xiu Mian couldn't understand what they meant, and looked anxious, "What's going on? Is it still hurting? But I'm sick? Don't talk about it today, let's go to rest first."

"It's okay." Cao Zhenling stroked Yu Xiumian's cheek affectionately, "You also know the situation of Simu and me. We can tell you what we can only tell you. If you violate certain rules, you will be punished. Just now, I just Tested its bottom line."

Yu Xiuyan frowned and swallowed the subconscious question she wanted to ask, pursed her lips, and said after a long time, "Don't force it, everything has its own laws, even if the Zhao country is destroyed, it is his fate."

Cao Zhenling raised his head and kissed his forehead, "I still want to stay with you in this Zhao country for retirement? Find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in the future, and spend this life." There is no war, no killing." Sit back, be good .”

So tender, so loving.Yu Xiumian breathed the breath that belonged to Cao Zhenling, and there was a kind of overflowing happiness in his heart. He was willing to do anything for himself.This feeling made Yu Xiumian want to fill his heart with the person in front of him, and never, ever be separated.

Just then, Cao Zhenling pouted his mouth high, planning to have a good time first!

Cao Simu "cough!" coughed twice, all the good atmosphere disappeared...

Yu Xiu Mian blushed and returned to the desk in embarrassment, secretly hating herself for forgetting that there was still someone here?Simu hasn't left the cabinet yet, she's still a girl, I, I really shouldn't!

When Cao Zhenling turned his head and stared at his own sister viciously, he should have married her earlier... Mo Bei is actually quite suitable (ΦwΦ)

"All walks of life must develop. We can't just focus on a few industries. This will lead to the collapse of society." Cao Simu pinched his fingers and thought, what else is there to say?

"Simu and I can provide some good strategies, especially in terms of militarization, from how to train, how to select, and how to educate. But in the final analysis...the country wants to educate the people, and if possible, they must know how to read." Cao Zhenling felt It's about the same, so I'll summarize it for a while, and I can talk about it in detail.

Yu Xiumian nodded and kept writing, "Speak about militarization."

...Cao Zhenling had no choice but to babble for half an hour before he changed their situation a little and moved it to this era, so Cao Simu would add it.

After writing dozens of pages, Yu Xiu Mian didn't raise his head, "What about the school? What do you call it?"

"University, but we have elementary school, primary school, high school, university, and research, doctorate, postdoctoral, these generally have a university degree." This is simply impossible in this era.

Yu Xiu Mian didn't expect "every few years to enter?" In this way, the knowledge level of that society is probably extremely high.

"You will learn more. We pay attention to versatility, and we will divide into detailed majors after college. You must learn the first nine years." Cao Simu waved his hand, "Brother Xiu, to be honest, this society can't do this at all. point."

Indeed, don't even think about it, but Yu Xiumian couldn't help feeling envious.

So infrequently, repeatedly asked, Cao Zhenling and Cao Simu answered consciously at first, and said what they thought of, and then Yu Xiuyan induced the question, and then said everything that should be said, should not be. There is nothing to say.

During the period, Cao Zhenling said that his mouth was dry, and he drank too much water and wanted to go to the toilet several times, but the great Mr. Yu didn't give it... "After this paragraph is finished, how will you arrange for the farmers?"

"Food price control subsidy, right? This made Simu say, I'm going to the toilet!"

"Wait, what kind of subsidy law?"

... "Ma'am, my husband is about to pee his pants..."

... "Hurry up, hurry up."

When the birds twittered outside, Yu Xiu Mian still didn't let him go.Cao Simu regretted it at the beginning, so she should pick a day and say it, instead of the dark night and high wind, she has dark circles under her eyes!

Before noon, Yu Xiu Mian personally sorted out the things that he had asked all night last night, drank a cup of strong tea, and then left the two lying in the study.

Before leaving, he told Xizhe to "tell Zhenling, I will enter the palace, and I won't be back for a few days."

…Although Xi Zhe nodded obediently, he always felt that it sounded weird.

This morning, Yu Xiumian asked for leave.Zhao Hechi was still a little worried about his body.

But at noon, I heard someone report that Mr. Yu asked to see me.

Zhao Hechi was a little surprised, "This is sick, why come here? Please come in."

After a while, he and Jiu Shao saw Yu Xiu Mian, who was blue and black in front of his eyes, "Mr. Yu is not feeling well? I will call the imperial physician here immediately."

Yu Xiumian immediately stopped him, "No need, we talked last night and sorted out a reform, and I'd like to ask His Majesty to have a look."

"Oh?" Zhao Hechi was shocked, thinking that Yu Xiu Mian hadn't done anything earth-shattering for a while, so maybe he couldn't hold back at last, is it?

Taking the loose paper presented, I read it page by page, and the more I read it, the more frightened I became.

Yu Xiumian asked Zhang Ai to make his tea thicker, "My lord, although the Nanman are not fighting now, they are covetous and ambitious. I don't know if the ten-year clause can be achieved. Even after ten years... With the current strength of the Zhao Kingdom It might not last.”

Zhao Hechi knew it clearly in his heart, but he didn't have a strategy to deal with it for a while.

Now Yu Xiu Mian sent the answer to him. Although the road ahead is difficult, it is a bright road...

Cao Zhenling and Cao Simu fell asleep in the study, and it was time to have dinner when they got up.

While stuffing food into their mouths, the two listened to Xi Zhe say, "Mr. will not be back until after going to the palace for a few days. Let the two of you stay at ease."

"Enen..." is indeed what Yu Xiumian would say, "Heaven." I thought that after paying so much money, it would be a little bit cheap, but who knew that the cheap ones ran away first. It was so bad, and he couldn't chase him to the palace. Stick cheap, sad.

I don't know what happened in the palace.

Anyway, just like what Yu Xiumian said, I haven’t come back for several days... The atmosphere in the court was a bit depressed for a while, Cao Zhenling pretended to be confused, and he and Simu were responsible for talking about how to do it, how to do it, whether they are willing or not Willing to do it is two different things.

If the monarch is stupid, how can he and Yu Xiumian's abilities not be able to live like ducks in water?

However, the imperial examination is coming soon.Although there is still half a year left, more and more students are entering Beijing.

Cao Anyao was suddenly transferred from his post by his superior and went to the Ministry of Officials, which made Cao Anyao both surprised and happy, but when he ran home, he immediately said to Cao Zhenling, "My ability is not enough, second brother, let Xiu Mian take me away." Call it back."

"Xiu Mian has been in the palace for a few days, so it may not be his handwriting. What's more, even if it is Xiu Mian, he must think that you are capable, big brother. He is not the kind of person who will operate in secret for the sake of his relatives, so don't worry. "Cao Zhenling still appreciates his elder brother's temperament more and more in his heart.

Yu Xiumian stayed in the palace, and Cao Zhenling was not someone who could enter the palace at will, so apart from sending letters to express his condolences, and sending some food, drink, and clothes every day, he could only go to the military camp to practice boxing and leading soldiers.

However, in the past few days, a foreign relative who was almost forgotten by them came to the door.

It was still serious to hand over the post and send it to Cao Zhihao.

Looking at the post, Cao Zhihao was confused, so he asked someone to call Cao Zhenling, and then forwarded the post to him.

The inexplicable Cao Zhenling raised his eyebrows the moment he opened the post, "This matter is difficult to handle. I don't know what he means when Xiu Mian is not here. I'm busy in the palace now, so I'm too embarrassed to bother him with this kind of thing." .”

Cao Zhihao felt deeply, "It is true that national affairs are the most important thing. But..." he clicked on the post, "What should I do?"

Cao Zhenling felt unhappy, "In the final analysis, this Yu family is patriarchal. They don't treat Lin'er as a son at all, and they don't treat their daughter or Lin'er as a person. Back then, Yu Xiumian was married to Lin Jinghui for the sake of fame, and Yu Xiumian later married Lin Jinghui. Life in Yu's family was not satisfactory, they didn't help, but instead hated to add trouble, which is wrong. After Yu Xiumian was divorced... he was thrown away as an outcast."

"If you don't become an abandoned son, can you take advantage of it?" Cao Zhihao demolished his son's platform, and that was done every minute.

Cao Zhenling rolled his eyes, "Who are you helping? Who is your own son?"

"Hmph," Cao Zhihao crossed his legs and ignored the stupid son, "Let's settle the matter first, even if parents are bad in every possible way, Yu Xiu Mian can't say anything." He said looking at Cao Zhenling, who had a bad face, "I know You protect Xiu Mian, but there are some things that you can't completely block for him if you want to protect him. His mother Xiu Mian is a fool, she doesn't protect her own son, but protects the concubine's son, even if she She thought that she was a aunt, and all the children in the backyard were her own, but she didn't even think about it. She brought up that child with her own hands? What's more, can the one born by her own be worse than the one born by a concubine? Hey, the old Yu family is too stupid now, Even if Yu Xiumian was dismissed, she would still be extremely talented and extraordinary. Why can't they figure it out, thinking that Lin'er is a woman when she gets married? This brain... tsk tsk."

When his old quail was still talking about it, Cao Zhenling already had a plan in his heart, "Since you want to see dad in the post, then see you. I won't be there that day, and even if you want to see me, you won't be able to see me. Father then bluntly said that Xiu Mian went to the palace on business for the emperor and hasn't returned for a long time, and he doesn't want to bother about such a trivial matter."

"It's done, are you being stupid as your father?" Cao Zhihao waved his hands, "We know that."

The next day, when Cao Zhenling went to the military camp, Yu Xiumian's father, Yu Shengmao, brought the concubine's son, Yu Huiyao, to visit.

Everyone now knows that Yu Shengmao is extremely fond of Yu Huiyao, and he seems to be the next generation that the Yu family has devoted all their efforts to cultivating.

Cao Zhihao sneered in his heart, a bit disdainful, but he didn't show it, instead he laughed, "What kind of wind is blowing today, it brought my in-laws here."

Yu Shengmao was a little embarrassed. After all, Yu Xiumian had been married to the Cao family for many years, but the two families had never moved.Except for giving gifts according to the rules during the New Year and festivals, they don't even visit.

"I haven't seen Xiu Mian for a long time, and I miss him a little. I wonder if he is at home?" Yu Shengmao asked.

"Xiu Mian went to the palace a few days ago to share the emperor's worries, and he hasn't returned for a few days. I hope my in-laws will be considerate. After all, the country's important affairs are important, so I didn't call Xun Mian back." Cao Zhihao said decently.

Yu Shengmao couldn't say anything inappropriate, "Indeed, indeed."

In fact, part of the Yu family's abandonment of Yu Xiu Mian was because they felt that Yu Xiu Mian was indeed useless.

At that time, although Zhao Hechi was helped to share his worries, Zhao Hechi visited secretly, and no one knew about it. The Yu family only knew that Yu Xiu Mian stayed behind closed doors all day, so naturally they looked down on him.
