An old lady's life

The second day of the Lantern Festival is the sixteenth day, which is the first big Asahi of the new year.

In the early morning, the fog is misty, and a layer of tulle is shrouded between the sky and the earth. When the red light breaks through the sky, the fog disperses, and people start a new life for the day.

Hongye is still preparing the exam papers for her two sons. She thinks it was a magic weapon to punish many people back then. Some methods have been used in ancient and modern times. The exam will leave a very deep impression on Jia She and Jia Zheng.

Mrs. Zhang is now more than seven months old, and she is taking good care of her under the orders of the imperial doctor. Her mother-in-law said that the exam questions are not the same as the court's standard exams. After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang became a little interested.

In the first few days, Mrs. Wang was stupefied, but in order to please her mother-in-law, she did a lot of homework in private, and wanted to ask others for advice, but found that she couldn't find anyone to ask for advice, and the servants were worse than her. So now she still doesn't know how to do it, but observing her sister-in-law's actions, she thinks she can't help it, so let's learn from her sister-in-law's method.

In the Lin family, Lin Hai had already gone to work in the yamen, while Ai Cao and Jia Min packed up their things and rushed to the village. This time they brought a few maids with them. Ai Cao thought about it and took Xiaohui with her.

This year, because there is no shortage of food and clothing in the village, everyone is still very happy. These people are homeless people, and it is also fate that they can get together to live together.

The weather was fine today, and the carriage arrived at the village in less than an hour. Jia Min was in a good mood to be able to take a walk in the suburbs.

There is a schedule for the daily life of the children in Zhuangshang. Today, the children will officially start school. The teachers hired are two scholars from nearby. It is no problem to teach the enlightenment stage.

When Ai Cao and Jia Min arrived at the village, the children were in the classroom.

Manager Xu led the two of them to observe outside the classroom. The children attending the class here were all over five years old, already very sensible, and had strong self-control. Children under five years old did not enter the school.

It is said that children have great forgetfulness, so they shouldn't remember people who only stayed in the village for a day, but little Liu Jing's memory of Jia Min is fresh.

The little girl looked at Jia Min, her eyes were full of smiles, and the nurse who took care of her said, "Ma'am, brother Xiaojing said that the wife is very similar to their mother."

So the little girl can forget anyone, but she will remember her mother's taste.

Jia Min smiled and picked up the little girl, "You take good care of her."

Over there, Xiaohui secretly took Ai Cao's hand, "Old lady, was that a school just now? Everyone is in class in it, and girls are okay too?" Seeing the girls in the classroom, she was also very excited.

Ai Cao nodded: "Yes, this Zhuangzi was established to take in homeless children."

Xiaohui bit her lip, her face full of thought.

"The old lady brought you here to discuss with you. Do you and Xiaoan want to live in Zhuangzi? There are many friends here, and you can learn systematically from your husband, read and practice calligraphy, so that you can be a useful person in the future."

Xiaohui opened her eyes wide, "Do you live in the village?"

Ai Cao nodded: "There are many friends in the village. We eat and live together, study together, and you will become very good friends in the future."

Xiaohui showed a bright smile, "Okay, old lady, I want to go to school with them." It's not impossible to study in the Lin family, but it's all about learning a word from others, and it's still better to learn from Mr. Effect.

Ai Cao touched the little girl's head, "Take a good look at the village today, and the old lady will send you and Xiaoan back tomorrow. The old lady will come to see you often in the future."

Xiaohui smiled so much that she showed her eight teeth, she nodded hurriedly.

Life in the village is very relaxed and comfortable. The children go to school, and the adults are busy tidying up the fields. It is spring and the seeds will be planted soon. The big men are sweating profusely.

But at this time, the court was in a low atmosphere. No one thought that the first big court in the year would be a few censors impeaching Jiangnan governor Xu Guangzhi for abusing his power and disregarding human life in office.

Emperor Changping was as motionless as a mountain, and all the officials on both sides of the hall held their breaths.

King Su and the Crown Prince are the two most conspicuous factions in the court. As the core figures of the two factions, they are obviously a little confused.After the two reacted separately, King Su's eyes were unstoppably hot, and the prince was a little flustered, but he calmed down after a while.

To deal with one of the big officials in the frontier, the natural process is not that simple, and this is just impeachment by the censor. After everyone wakes up and argues endlessly, Emperor Changping finally ordered Xu Guangzhi to return to Beijing to defend!

When Lin Hai heard about this, it was almost noon, and when his colleagues had lunch together, everyone was still discussing this matter enthusiastically.

Lin Hai didn't participate in the discussion, but just collected the news around him, and silently analyzed it in his heart. This year's opening is such a big drama, which obviously shocked the government and the public.

Xu Guangzhi, who had passed the age of no doubt, with his young high school Tanhualang, fell into the eyes of the teacher, married the precious daughter of the teacher, and his official career has been on the rise since then. Six years ago, he was appointed as the governor of Jiangnan by Emperor Changping. Under the age of 40, the scenery is infinite for a while.

Lin Hai admired him very much, no matter whether it was because he married the daughter of his teacher, his official career was smooth, but the official career was not so easy to mess with, without real talent, even if Xu Guangzhi's father-in-law was the emperor's elder brother, it was impossible for him At such an age, he became a big official of the frontier.

When Ai Cao and Jia Min came back from the village, it was not yet dark, but now the time of day began to change, and the daylight hours gradually lengthened. They planned to take a short rest, and when Lin Hai came back from get off work, the family of three would have dinner.

Xiaoqi, who is a little expert at inquiring about news, immediately ran over to ask the old lady for credit, "Old lady, something big happened outside."

Wormwood was startled, what's the big deal?Why did no one mention it when the carriage passed through Beijing?

"What's the big deal? Xiaoqi, don't scare the old lady. The old lady is too old to be frightened!" Ai Cao pretended to be panicked.

Xiaoqi pouted: "Old lady, you are the one scaring me. Isn't today the emperor's time to go to court? I heard that Yushi impeached a very big official, scaring all the adults."

Ai Cao was surprised at once, isn't it common for Yushi to impeach officials?Those censors are full and staring at other people's affairs all day long. Of course, there are good and bad people, and censors also have conscientious and non-responsible people.

"Do you know who the high official is? Don't people outside like to discuss these things? Is no one discussing this time?"

Xiaoqi shook her head: "It's just a vague piece of news, and everyone seems to keep it secret."

Ai Cao thought, when her son comes back, she should be able to know the details.

"Okay, the old lady knows, Xiaoqi has done a good job!"

When Lin Hai came back, the dinner at Huifangyuan was ready. The dishes on the table today were home-cooked dishes. Although there was no meat, Ai Cao didn't want to starve his son and daughter-in-law.

"Son, isn't there a rumor that the censor impeached a certain official on the first day of the court today?" Ai Cao was eager to know what was going on.

Lin Hai didn't hide anything, he told him everything he knew, and said: "Supposedly it shouldn't be, since the emperor will appoint Master Xu as the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, I think he is the emperor's confidant." Without the emperor's permission, He didn't believe that the censor would impeach a big official in Xinjiang for no reason.

Jia Min was startled, but why did such a big event happen in one day?

Ai Cao pursed her lips, "You also said that the emperor appointed him as the governor of Jiangnan six years ago. He must have been the emperor's confidant at that time, but people's hearts are changeable, so it's hard to say now. Jiangnan is an important place for the court to collect taxes. There must be no mistakes, it is obvious that what Xu Guangzhi has done, the emperor can no longer tolerate him."

Lin Hai nodded: "Mother's analysis is correct."

The emperor is not an incompetent person, the court has always been in his hands, and he can't pay attention to some dark corners, but an important official like Xu Guangzhi must have someone around him to monitor and protect him. It is obvious that Xu Guangzhi has touched The emperor's bottom line, the emperor intends to punish him.

"The emperor ordered Mr. Xu to return to Beijing to defend himself. I don't know what the situation will be." Lin Hai thought for a while and shook his head. After all, the above matters are still far away from him.

Ai Cao was eating, but her mind did not delay thinking. After a while, she put down the bowl and chopsticks, and Ai Cao said leisurely: "I still remember the day when you took a bath for the last time years ago, Commander Wu and the handsome guy Yu Jiang went out in the wind and snow ?"

Jia Min raised his head, and Lin Hai paused, "It's almost a month, my son still remembers." It was only a few days away, but for Commander Wu's rapid march, it was very difficult to go back and forth between the capital and the south of the Yangtze River in a month. easy thing.

Jia Min also wondered in her heart, mother-in-law means that this is the emperor's handwriting, and has it been arranged years ago?

The next day, Lin Hai went to work as usual, but after yesterday's ferment, at first the streets and alleys kept this matter secret, but overnight, the streets and alleys were discussing this matter.

Ai Cao thought in her heart, manipulating public opinion, that's what the superiors like to play.

The work of the Hanlin Academy is as usual, but there are many fewer people who come to Lin Hai to borrow books and make friends.

The weather is good today, and the sunset is just right when I get off work in the afternoon.

Passing a street with not much traffic, Lin Hai looked out the opened car window, and happened to see an old farmer selling flowers on the street.

The flower pot in front of the old farmer was very small, and the plant in the flower pot was blooming with a kind of lavender flower, but the whole plant was a little dark, and the appearance was not good, and the passers-by on the street here were not from rich people, ordinary people He only cares about food and clothing, and only cares about food and clothing before he can fiddle with spiritual things. Obviously, passers-by will not buy a flower that is going to die.

Lin Hai thought for a moment, and stopped the carriage. If he read correctly, although the old farmer's flowers are not very expensive, they are of good variety, and they can be bought for a small amount of money to raise.

The old farmer has been setting up a stall here for a long time, and no one cares about it. Lin Hai asked the price, and he was still a little nervous. After quoting the price, Lin Hai did not counter the price. It's worth it, if you can't raise it well, just treat it as a fun purchase.

Holding the small flower pot, he turned around to get on the carriage, but Lin Hai stopped, ahem, the people ten steps away on the right, aren't those people Commander Wu and Guard Lou?
