The Ming Dynasty started with caution

In the summer of the first year of Zhengde, the imperial court promulgated that private schools and academies in the world were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

Yan Chengjin also submitted a petition to establish the Royal Academy and the Royal Elementary School as the teaching model for the world.

The number of scholars who signed up for the examination for teaching in Liangxiang was like a tide.

In front of the Liangxiang government office, Yan Chengjin asked: "How many scholars came to take the examination today?"

Wang Bushui said: "More than 34,000 people."

The talent selection ceremony had just ended, and the scholars were still stranded in the capital. They had to pass the Ministry of Households examination before they could be registered as teachers and receive the court salary.

Of course, those who failed the examination could also teach, and the salary was half of that of the scholars who were registered as teachers.

The Ministry of Rites truly became an educational government, and the education system of the Ming Dynasty was finally established.

He Neng trotted over: "Master, it's not good. The young lady said that she was uncomfortable in her stomach and asked the doctor to talk."

Yan Chengjin's heart moved slightly, not knowing whether it was two boys or two girls.

Two daughters are fine, but if it were two men, the family wealth would not be enough to be divided.

Seeing Yan Chengjin's calm face, He Neng hurriedly said: "Master, having twins from one mother is extremely dangerous. If the birth is not normal, it will cause death."

He was not nervous at first, but when this bastard He Neng mentioned Yan Chengjin, he became nervous: "Fine one hundred taels."

He got on the carriage and returned to the mansion, but the doorman said that he had sent it to Huimin Pharmacy.

Forbidden City, West Warm Pavilion.

Xiao Jing walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Yan Mansion just received news that Yan Chengjin's wife gave birth."

The retired emperor Hongzhi put down his pen. He might not care about other officials' children, but Yan Chengjin was his minister of life.

"In Yan's house?"

Xiao Jing said: "It seems to be a difficult birth. I heard that the mother gave birth to twins, and the two were squeezed out. Doctor Wang returned to his hometown to mourn and was not in the capital. Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Zeng were out of the palace."

Empress Dowager Zhang knew that Li Qing'e was about to give birth, and she had been sending people to keep an eye on the news.

The Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment: "Where is Lord Li?"

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Send someone to report."

Cabinet, duty room.

Li Dongyang was reading the memorial quickly, blinking for a long time, and didn't even know that the eunuch walked to his side: "Lord Li, something big happened."

Liu Jian and others didn't look up. Which day didn't have something big?

Li Dongyang said calmly without raising his head: "What's the matter?"

"Master Yan's wife is having a difficult delivery..."

The pen fell to the ground with a click. Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment before he looked up and looked at the eunuch deeply: "Did you call Doctor Wang?"

"Doctor Wang is not in the capital, and Master Yan only lets female doctors deliver babies."

This guy must be afraid that people will see Qing'e's body.

Li Dongyang can understand Yan Chengjin's feelings, but now his life is at stake, how can he treat it like a joke?

"Mr. Liu, everyone?"

"Go ahead, I'll help you read Brother Binzhi and Yan Chengjin's share." Xie Qian said.

...

Beijing, Huimin Pharmacy.

Behind the pharmacy is a three-story building, which is a newly built sickbed for the royal family and dignitaries.

Yan Chengjin stood outside the house, and Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Zeng stood in front of the door, looking more nervous than Yan Chengjin.

Zhu Houzhao said, "When the grandson was born, it was Wang Ji who delivered him. Now Wang Ji is not in the capital. Old Gao, why aren't you nervous?"

"I believe in Doctor Tan."

Tan Yunxian has been delivering babies at Huimin Pharmacy for three years. Yan Chengjin is worried about whether it will be a boy or a girl.

If it is a girl, she will definitely marry a son-in-law.

At this time, the retired emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang came. Seeing Yan Chengjin standing outside, they couldn't help but frowned: "I heard that it was difficult to give birth?"

"Retired emperor and Li Gong, don't worry, Doctor Tan is here." Empress Dowager Zhang said.

Li Dongyang's heart tightened when he heard the voice, and he sighed several times in succession.

In the ward, Li Qing'e was lying on a wooden bed, covered with a white cloth.

Tan Yunxian stood under the wooden bed, holding up a little head with her hand, "One person has come out, use more strength."

With a gulp, the baby covered in blood and with a handle on his body slipped onto the white cotton jacket.

The crying sound spread outside the ward.

Li Dongyang shuddered all over and breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if it was a boy or a girl.

He naturally wanted a boy. His in-laws were not in the capital. If they were, they would definitely think so.

Zhu Houzhao was happy: "It must be a girl. When she grows up, she will marry Weiwu."

Li Dongyang almost vomited blood and glared at Zhu Houzhao, "According to the ancestral system, the emperor's grandson can only marry a commoner girl."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the old nanny beside her, "Let the midwife come out to report."

Not long after, the midwife came out with a happy face: "Report to the Empress Dowager, report to the Emperor, report to Your Majesty, report to the Queen... It's a boy."

It turned out to be a boy, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Li Dongyang was overjoyed, and the Emperor Hongzhi also smiled and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Yan."

"Thank you, Emperor." Yan Chengjin looked at the old female doctor: "Go and see the second one."

Soon, the second loud voice also sounded.

"Reporting to the Lord, it's a girl."

Yan Chengjin is fine, he will find a son-in-law when the time comes.

Tan Yunxian walked out of the ward, bowed and said to Yan Chengjin: "Lord Yan, Madam Qing'e just fell asleep, it's inconvenient to visit today."

Now there are many people in the court who want to deal with him, so they have to send more people to guard.

Yan Chengjin and Li Dongyang looked at each other, as if they saw through each other's intentions.

Li Dongyang said first: "This matter should be done by Brother Cangjin, but he is not in the capital at the moment, so I will do the naming for him."

From the handwriting of Yan Chengjin, it can be known that this child's ability to name is really average.

Yan Chengjin shook his head and took out a piece of white paper from his sleeve: "I have already prepared it, so you don't need to bother Lord Li."

When Li Dongyang looked at the white paper, the corners of his mouth twitched the next moment.

"Yan Fang is coming?"

This name is really bad!

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi's expression changed slightly. Yan Chengjin's naming skills were about the same as Niezi's, and they were both half as good.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Fang means method and strategy. Come, friends coming from far away means endless schemes. I feel that this name means the son of Brother Gao."

These two guys really cherish each other!

Li Dongyang and the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi wanted to open their heads to see if they were filled with tofu.

Let’s look at the girl’s name again.

"Yan Qianlong."

Li Dongyang almost came out with a mouthful of old blood. The girl's name should be chosen from two words in poetry, but Yan Chengjin chose such a non-poetic name.

Empress Dowager Zhang was delighted to see the pair of babies. She looked at Yan Chengjin and said, "Qing'e hasn't woken up yet, why not let the Ai family take her back to the palace to take care of her?"

"The palace is far away from the pharmacy, so it's inconvenient to visit the doctor. It's not too late to wait until the second son grows up before entering the palace."

Empress Dowager Zhang and Emperor Hongzhi knew that Yan Chengjin was cautious, so they stopped talking and ordered extra guards to be sent and returned to the palace.

Yan Chengjin took the person back to his mansion and was taken care of by sisters Chunxiao.

At night, He Neng came back and reported: "Master, the young lady has a fever and she hasn't woken up yet."

Yan Chengjin's heart moved slightly. Wang Ji's return to his hometown would be troublesome for Ding You.

"Did Doctor Tan prescribe any medicine?"

"Two doses were prescribed, but the young lady is weak and has no effect. She asked me to come back and report to the young master."

Li Dongyang rushed to Huimin Pharmacy overnight and stood outside the attic with deep thoughts.

Dying in childbirth is very common, and now that Wang Ji is not in the capital, Li Dongyang can't help but worry.

But Yan Chengjin didn't come. He looked at He Neng and said, "Where is your young master?"

"Reporting to Mr. Li, I sent someone to peel off the bark of the willow tree."
