An old lady's life

Cheongju.

In March of Yangchun, the flowers are red and the willows are green.

The entire state of Qingzhou is not large, only three-quarters of other state cities, and the problem of saline-alkali land, Qingzhou has always been poor and backward.But this situation has ceased to exist since Lin Hai, the magistrate, took office four years ago.

Now the population of Qingzhou is growing rapidly, and the people who left their hometowns have returned home one after another, becoming rich under the leadership of the local government.Now short-term crops such as castor, apocynum, and wolfberry are local characteristics, and more crops suitable for growth in saline-alkali land are being developed. After four years, Qingzhou has shaken off poverty and become rich.

Except for Lin Hai who was extremely busy in the first year or two when he took office, he only had free time after he got started with everything.

Today, it was rare for Lin Hai to return home from get off work in the yamen as early as possible. He just entered the gate when he saw a small figure running out from behind the second gate. Lin Hai raised his eyebrows and stopped for a while.

"Daddy!" Brother Zhen is also more than four years old. Jia Min is eight months pregnant, and her belly is swollen, which looks like a hill at first glance. The younger brothers and sisters in the future attracted the adults' attention, but Brother Zhen was afraid when he saw his mother's trembling appearance, and there was no way he would be jealous.

Lin Hai picked up the little guy who was less than waist high, glanced at the two seven or eight-year-old boys following behind, and then walked from the backyard.

"Where's grandmother and mother?" Lin Hai had limited time at home before, and he didn't even have time to manage his son's enlightenment, so he couldn't be a strict father.

Brother Zhen pouted and said: "My younger brother and sister are not good, mother has worked hard."

Lin Hai rubbed his son. Ever since his wife became pregnant, especially when he was diagnosed with twins, the whole family is facing a big enemy. He is busy with work, and the little guy is taken by his grandmother all day long. It is impossible to say that he has not been ignored. It's not entirely true that she put all her energy on him as before and said that she ignored him.

"Mother used to have the same hard work when she was pregnant with you. Mother has worked so hard. Brother Zhen must be filial to mother."

Brother Zhen hugged his father's neck, giggled, and nodded repeatedly: "I will be a good brother in the future, so as not to make mother tired."

While the father and son were talking, they arrived at the main courtyard. Jia Min sat on the couch with a big belly. When he saw the two of them, he immediately got off the couch.

Lin Hai hurriedly helped Jia Min back to the couch and sat down. Brother Zhen stroked his mother's swollen belly again, muttering, "My brother, don't move around. Mother is tired. When you come out, brother will take me to the bed." You eat meat."

Lin Hai and Jia Min suddenly laughed, and Jia Min rubbed his son's head: "You just miss eating meat." The Lin family's food has always been light, but for some reason, his son can't live without meat, and the taste is relatively heavy, and he doesn't like it. Seeing how fat he is, he is white and tender, and looks extremely cute.

Brother Zhen grinned foolishly, Lin Hai shook his head amusedly, although Jia Min felt physically tired, he was very satisfied.

Wormwood came from the garden, and now her grandson lives with her. Usually after getting up in the morning and having breakfast, she would take Brother Zhen to read and practice calligraphy. In the afternoon, when the weather was fine, she would play in the garden. At dusk, Lin Hai would be back soon, zhen My brother spontaneously went to the main courtyard to find his parents.

According to textual research, in the red building, Jia Min gave birth to Lin Daiyu. It is not known whether Lin Daiyu's son died when she was six years old.Now that Jia Min gave birth to Brother Zhen, Ai Cao thought that the Lin family would have no more children until Daiyu was born in the past few years, but she didn't want Jia Min to get pregnant and still have twins.But Shi Xiangyun has two older brothers now, and it is not too much for Lin Daiyu to have two more brothers.

"How is Min'er today?" Ai Cao glanced at Jia Min. When she was pregnant with Brother Zhen last time, she had severe morning sickness. She will no longer have morning sickness, but twins are so easy. Look at her swollen Ai Cao has a new feeling about the woman's pregnancy and childbirth.

Jia Min smiled slightly, and the hand holding her stomach was very gentle, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, I won't bear the discomfort."

Ever since she gave birth to Brother Zhen, Ai Cao noticed that Jia Min's temperament was different. She used to be a bit cautious, but now she is very calm, and she has never lost her temper. Of course, what happened in the couple's boudoir, She has no way of knowing.

Lin Hai pursed his lips, and said after a while, "In two months, the children will be fine after they are born."

Brother Zhen nodded repeatedly. The fact that his mother was pregnant with his younger brother left a very deep impression on Brother Zhen, and made him evolve from a mischievous mischievous to a responsible elder brother.

"You have to be more vigilant. Twins are usually not born at full term. If Min'er feels uncomfortable, don't bear it." Ai Cao glanced at the maids and mothers on the background board.

Previously, Jia Min's four major dowry maids were married and became the women in charge. Although the newly promoted maids were sincere, they were not clever enough.

It was getting late, and dinner was being prepared in the side hall. In the past, Lin Hai and his wife brought their son to accompany their mother for dinner. Since Jia Min became pregnant, Ai Cao brought her grandson to find her son and daughter-in-law for dinner.

Taking advantage of the time when the maid was setting the meal, Lin Hai talked about things outside.The construction of Qingzhou has entered a stable stage. Except that at the beginning he had to force the people to follow his way, now he does not need to force it. Most of the people are smart and courageous people. Once someone starts the way, they will follow There are countless people.

After hearing what Lin Hai had said, Ai Cao asked, "How about the academy you are planning?"

Beginning this year, Lin Hai began to prepare for education, encouraging people to send their children to academies, not only men's academies, but also women's academies.

Originally, Jia Min should have initiated the Women's Academy, but Jia Min was pregnant, so the matter had to be postponed. Lin Hai didn't want his mother to be tired, so the matter of the Girls' Academy was postponed.

"Everything is fine. This year there will be children's exams and township exams. I will be there to preside over the No. [-] exam." After the food and clothing problems are solved, he will start to solve spiritual problems. This year and next two years, his focus will be on education. In the past three months, he has inspected the academies in the town under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou. Parents are willing to spend money on reading. The resources are really not enough, but there is no way. Lin Hai has been thinking for a long time, and he can't solve the problem of educational resources for the time being.

Next year is the year of official assessment, he is [-]% sure, next year he is afraid that he will be transferred away, and there is nothing he can do about educational resources, especially teachers.

Talking about Lin Hai's official affairs, and then talking about the affairs of the capital, Lin Hai silently glanced at his mother, and always felt that the affairs of the capital, especially the actions of King Zhaojun must be influenced by his mother.

Ai Cao glanced at Lin Hai innocently. During the more than a year that King Zhaojun and Shang Yong have been here, she has indeed instilled some messy ideas, but it is impossible for her to influence the thoughts of King Zhaojun, so what happened in the capital Anything is beyond her reach.

"Hai'er, when can we return to Beijing?" Thinking of returning to Beijing, Ai Cao still misses the people and things in the capital, but I'm afraid that Emperor Changping will not be able to return to the capital in a short time after seeing what Lin Hai did.

Lin Hai shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't go back to the capital for now." He has no idea where the emperor will transfer him next time, but he knows that he won't be able to go back to the capital.

Ai Cao pursed her mouth and rubbed her grandson's head: "Forget it, let's eat."

##

Since the beginning of the new year, a decree has been issued by the imperial court, and Rongfu has been immersed in low pressure. Of course, not only Rongfu, but also all the honorable families in the capital have been immersed in low pressure. This matter is still in preparation. Not implemented yet.

The boss in Zhang's heart was reluctant, but she told her rationally that there was no room for change in this matter, because the matter of going to the military academy as a trainee could not fall on the boss, nor could it fall on the second room Jia Zhu, then Only Jia Lian is the most suitable.Emotionally, she was reluctant to bear her son's hardship, but intellectually, she knew it was for his son's benefit.

Hong Ye stroked Jia Lian's head and asked, "Lian'er, after a while you will go to school alone, are you afraid?"

Jia Lian is also eight years old, and he knows what he should know. Seeing his parents' reluctance in the past two months, he doesn't care. "Grandma, I'm not afraid. I'm an adult, and I can take good care of myself."

Hong Ye nodded: "Our Lian'er will be eight years old in a few days, he is a little grown-up."

Jia Lian grinned, and Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were unhappy. They both thought that what would happen to his future career if his younger brother gave up the scientific examination to join the army?You must know that generals have less power to speak in the court than civil servants.

"Okay, Jingshu, this may not be a bad thing." Hongye didn't know how to comfort Mrs. Zhang, after all, their thoughts were naturally different from hers.

Mrs. Zhang bit her lip, looked at her son again, and said, "Don't worry, mother, I understand."

Ever since the Lantern Festival, Emperor Changping announced the establishment of a regular military academy in the court. The students admitted are divided into ages, but all of them come from official families. Whoever has a child of the right age must send one, otherwise...

Only five days after the Lantern Festival, the Ministry of Household Affairs began to come to the door to count the number of people and the number of applicants. Jia Lian's name had already been reported, and there was no way to change it.Other ministers might think that it was Emperor Changping's sudden whim, but Hongye knew that it was Emperor Changping who was taking the blame for his son King Zhaojun, especially since the eleventh prince and the twelve princes were already on the list, and the emperor handed over his son Already, are your children more expensive than the prince's gold?

"This year, let's give Lian'er a happy birthday and celebrate Lian'er's first time living away from home alone." I heard that the military academy is located in a mountain a hundred miles away from Beijing, and all the students live and board. In school, I go home two to three days a month.

Jia Lian puffed out his small chest and grinned happily. He hadn't imagined how difficult it would be to live alone away from home.

Jia Amnesty covered his face, Jia Zheng turned his head away, and couldn't bear to look at each other.

Mrs. Wang held Sister Shan in her arms and remained silent. Sister Shan blinked her eyes and looked around. The atmosphere at home is not very good recently. She should not talk too much, but the third brother is going out, what does this mean?

"Grandmother, isn't the third brother coming back after going out?" Sister Shan couldn't hold back, is the third brother going out to play?Not happy without her!

A glint of schadenfreude flashed in Hongye's eyes, she tried her best to keep her expression steady, and said, "Of course I have to go home, but I only come back once a month, and from now on, Sister Shan will see Third Brother very little."

Sister Shan blinked, and Bianzui was about to cry. Jia Lian rushed to take Sister Shan away, followed by Jia Hu and Jia Zhu, and the brothers and sisters went outside to talk.

Only then did Jia Amnesty say: "What is King Zhaojun doing? He wants soldiers. There are plenty of them in the army. Why do you want us children?"

Hongye glanced at Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng: "Think about it yourself, but don't go out and talk nonsense. This matter is undertaken by the emperor alone. King Zhaojun is at best a person who runs errands."

Emperor Changping took all the risks before, and it was only when the current King Zhaojun was not fully exposed, and the officials of the court could understand that they would naturally not talk nonsense. After all, they were loyal to the emperor, and the emperor had to do it King Zhaojun paved the way, and they were happy to build a good relationship with King Zhaojun in advance.As for the officials who don't understand, just wait for them to jump up and down, the emperor will clean up those who go too far, and use those who can be used.
