The autumn afternoon sun warms the yard, but not everyone is blessed to enjoy it.

After being forced to "run" and poured a bowl of lotus leaf hawthorn tea, the little fat man pushed open the door of the west wing room with a "bang", dragged his heavy legs into the house and lay down directly on the soft couch, he was already tired and sweating, and drank a stomach of undrinkable water, so that he was not even in the mood to eat.

Doudou wished he had eaten less, so he took care of opening a lunch menu and sending it to the kitchen, and the masters were busy all the time, waiting for Yuan Zheng to return home from the yamen, and the hot meal was just on the table.

Since the old lady moved out of the Yuan Mansion, Doudou has been in the outer courtyard every day to accompany Yuan Zheng for lunch, and after the day's official duties and homework, the father and daughter will go back to the inner courtyard together. In the past two years, the relationship between father and daughter has grown by leaps and bounds, and her address to Yuan Zheng has changed from a slightly blunt "father" to a very affectionate "daddy".

"Daddy, today there is your favorite West Lake vinegar fish, as well as Chef Zhang's favorite steamed chicken with lotus leaves. Qing'er waited for Yuan Zheng to clean his hands, and Doudou stared at the food on the table as he spoke, looking like he was about to drool.

"Yuan'er, you are not authentic enough, you eat and drink fat chickens and ducks, a bowl of lotus leaf hawthorn tea will solve your little fat brother's lunch, tsk......" What happened in the outer courtyard was naturally sued by sù Yuanzheng, and he inevitably used these things to make fun of the second daughter.

Doudou first gave Yuan Zheng a chopsticks fish belly, and then put a favorite chicken leg into his bowl, then he said: "There is a certain amount of delicious food that people should eat in their stomachs in their lifetime, and the little fat brother ate too much before, so I don't have to eat it now, although I eat it every day, I only eat a little bit of each meal, and I can naturally eat it for a long time." ”

Looking at the chicken leg that quickly disappeared into the girl's bowl, Yuan Zheng was completely exhausted, so he could only pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

Yuan Zheng, who had dealt with official business all morning, was naturally a little tired, and after eating, he leaned on the chair and didn't want to move at all, so he went to the inner room to lie down and start taking a nap according to his previous habits, but he also knew that this had become a luxury now, and the second daughter was staring at it there!

Sure enough, before he closed his eyes here, Doudou tugged on his sleeve and said, "Daddy is not allowed to be lazy, go to the yard and walk a few steps and then come back to rest, now lie down to accumulate food." ”

It's all Mo Qiyuan's bad guy, on the one hand, he said that Yuan'er's temperament was not suitable for studying medicine, and on the other hand, he taught her so many health preservation methods, but in the end, it was these people who suffered......

"Okay, okay, listen to my family. Yuan Zheng stood up with a reluctant look, in fact, he was very happy, his daughter is really filial!

Doudou has always been strict with others, and she is never lazy, and the afternoon walk is certainly for Yuan Zheng's body, but also her favorite time. Walking along the boulevard, she can ask all kinds of questions at will, and the knowledgeable father will patiently answer them one by one, and in a few years, Doudou's knowledge is not comparable to that of girls of the same age.

"Did you see your grandmother yesterday?" Yesterday Doudou returned home it was late, and the father and daughter couldn't see it, Yuan Zheng naturally had to care about a few words, one was worried about his mother, and the other was afraid that his daughter would feel uncomfortable.

"See. Doudou's answer was very brief, but Qing Xù was obviously not as depressed as before, and it seemed that her monthly greetings for the past two years were not without effect.

"People become more and more like children when they get older, and your grandmother is actually not angry for a long time, but she can't wipe her face. Yuan Zheng could only comfort a few words like this, his mother felt sorry for her granddaughter, and her attitude was not bad when she faced Yuan'er, if she was herself, it would be good to be able to see her face.

Speaking of this, Yuan Zheng suddenly remembered that there was another important thing that he hadn't told his daughter, "Yuan'er, my father has been in the position of political envoy in Zhejiang for nine years, and his term of office has expired, and he will return to Beijing next month to report on his work, do you want to go to the capital with your father?"

Doudou was a little moved, not that she really thought there was anything interesting in the capital, but that the guy who made her hate her teeth itched lived in the capital, and if she went with her father like this, maybe she could meet him.

"Daddy, can you still come back for the New Year?" Doudou's brain turned several times at this moment, and the note of the big white rice balls was written on the night of Shangyuan three years later, although she didn't dare to believe his nonsense anymore, but the capital is bigger than Hangzhou Mansion, and there are many more people, if you can't see his people in the capital, won't you be blind if you delay it here!

"Uh...... It's hard to say, a qiē depends on the emperor's majesty. Yuan Zheng looked at Doudou's tangled little expression and thought it was funny.

"Then I won't go, I still like to stay in Hangzhou for the New Year. Doudou finally made up his mind that waiting for the rabbit is much more reliable than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Yuan Zheng didn't know what was going on in her little head, in the past few years, in addition to learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, financial management and accounting, Doudou did not shy away from being present every time Yuan Zheng and his staff talked about non-confidential political affairs.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, "Yuan'er, if your father is transferred in the next year, you will have to leave Hangzhou Mansion." ”

Sooner or later, my father would return to the capital to be an official, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, "Then, our family is going back to Beijing soon?"

Yuan Zheng shook his head, "It doesn't have to be to go back to Beijing, it depends on His Majesty's physical condition." "After all, the Emperor of the Great Zhou is old, and according to reliable sources, his dragon body seems to be a little unwell recently, so where he goes depends on this "uncomfortable" Cheng Dù.

If His Majesty is only slightly unwell, then he will probably continue to stay in Zhejiang; if His Majesty really runs out of oil, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his friendship, it is very likely that he will return to Beijing immediately, and he will be reused, it is a certainty; if His Majesty is very unwell, but it will not die immediately, then it is very likely that Zen will be located in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in advance, and the sentence that he and Gu Chao said at the beginning, "The more officials do it, the smaller they get", may not become a reality.

"Daddy, do you mean that every qiē depends on who will be the emperor of the Great Zhou?" Doudou also knew that such words were taboo, and deliberately kept his voice low.

The sensitivity of the second daughter's politics made Yuan Zheng quite surprised, but more proud, who said that women in the house don't need to understand political affairs? His wife Gu Chao is the best example, she was born in such a family and read the books for many years, and she not only doesn't understand when talking about political affairs with her, but even annoyed, it is really not the material of the mother of a country.

And the little girl in front of him actually gave him a feeling of sympathy.
