It didn't take long for the official family to come over with Zhao Defang, and they had just learned the news of Mrs. Xu's pregnancy, and their faces were full of spring breeze, but when they entered the door and saw the queen, the expression on their faces was a little more restrained, and after asking the Empress Dowager Song to say goodbye, she happened to sit in front of the queen and said in a deep voice: "These things in the harem have always been in your charge, and I can't rest assured of you, so Mrs. Xu, like Bai Meiren, doesn't need to do anything else." ”

Queen Wang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of Mrs. Xu, the white beauty is about to give birth, I thought, should I arrange the delivery room first, before the imperial doctor used to check the pulse once a day, now it is better to change it to twice a day?" There are also stable women and nurses, shouldn't they also get ready? ”

The official waved his hand: "You are in charge of these things, you don't need to ask me." ”

Empress Dowager Song also nodded: "The queen did a good job in the past, the official affairs are busy, and he doesn't have to worry about these harem affairs." ”

The official family turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager Song: "What about my nephew?" Just now I listened to Defang's praise for a long time, now I have to see if it is really exactly the same as Defang, speaking of which this kid is also a lucky star, and he can enter the palace more in the future. ”

is exactly the same as what Queen Wang said just now, Jiao Wanwan can also think about it at a deeper level now, saying this is probably the meaning of giving the grace to the Lotus Lotus, representing an attitude of the official family and the queen.

The Empress Dowager Song couldn't wait for everyone to like her baby grandson, so she was busy holding the lotus out again, and proudly showed off to the official family: "These eyebrows and nose are exactly the same as Defang's childhood, you were a few years old at that time, you should also remember, you see, is it very similar to Defang?" ”

The official took a closer look and nodded: "Indeed, it's almost impossible to tell that it's two people, no wonder Defang likes the same thing." ”

Zhao Defang coughed lightly: "It doesn't look like me, like Wan Niang, or like a mother, I still like it very much." ”

The child just woke up after eating and drinking, and at this time he was full of energy, and he didn't care whether he could see it or not, so he stared ahead with his eyes open, and the official family saw it rarely, and reached out to take the jade pendant on his body and shook it in front of his eyes: "If you can catch it, I'll give it to you, okay?" ”

Empress Dowager Song couldn't cry or laugh: "He is so young, where can he catch this." ”

The official family saw that the child's gaze really turned along the jade pendant, and it was even rarer: "I can actually see it, I remember that when Ronghua was born, it was two months before he could see things, right?" Will you be able to see it now? ”

Ronghua is the title of the little princess, in the past, she was called the eldest lady, but now it suddenly changed, and the queen didn't react for a while, or waited for the official family to turn around to see her, and then suddenly realized, and her heart was quite moved, but I didn't expect the official family to remember what happened when Ronghua was a child. I thought he was going to have two sons, and maybe he would slowly throw Ronghua behind his head in the future.

"Ronghua is a girl, girls learn to speak fast, and the rest should be slower." Queen Wang said with a smile, the official family stuffed the jade pendant into the swaddling clothes, Zhao Defang was shocked: "Brother Huang, he is still ...... young"

"He's my own nephew, what's wrong with me giving him a thing or two?" The official family didn't care, teased him twice, and saw that he wanted to sleep again, so he let him take him away, and talked to Zhao Defang about the college: "I heard that the year-end exam is going to be held?" How is this paper prepared? The gentlemen in the academy prepare together or do you prepare alone? Is this scholarship also ready? ”

Queen Wang also suddenly remembered that she still had the title of honorary dean in Jiao Wanwan and the Women's College, and she turned her head to look at Jiao Wanwan. So, the two couples went to talk separately, and the Empress Dowager Song saw that they got along well, and she also followed happily, only holding a teacup and occasionally interjecting a sentence.

"Some of them are far away, and they have to go back to Beijing early, so this exam is set on the tenth day of the lunar month, and the exam is for three days in a row, and after the exam, the gentlemen stay to correct the test papers, calculate the results, and wait for next year to post them, and those who get the ranking will be rewarded...... " Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, although she didn't go out much this month, but the affairs of the college were not delayed at all, and several gentlemen would take turns to come over to discuss things with her.

"How is the third sister's marriage prepared?" Jiao Wanwan hurriedly asked, before the third princess said that she had taken a fancy to a student who participated in the imperial examination, the official family meant that she wanted to wait for the spring of next year, and if there was a chance after that, let alone the marriage, the autumn was over at this time, and the person's ranking was not low, the official family had already sent someone to the person's ancestral home to inquire, if the family background and character were fine, they would be able to marry out next year.

"The dowry has already been prepared." Queen Wang said with a smile, she can also gain some experience by hosting a wedding for the third prince, and when the eldest lady gets married in the future, she will not be in a hurry.

As she spoke, the palace maid outside came in again to tell her that the third princess was coming. Empress Dowager Song hurriedly let people in, and when everyone saw the appearance of the third princess, they couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing, such a big box, are you planning to move to live with your mother?" ”

The third princess hurriedly shook her head: "I don't want to disturb my mother, I have all the gifts for my little nephew, you can also take a look." ”

While speaking, he took care of himself and let people open the box, which was neatly placed with a lot of gadgets, and the third princess took it out with great interest and introduced: "This is what I played with when I was a child, it's very interesting, keep it for my little nephew, this is the last time I went out of the palace to play and buy, it looks good, right?" I think the little nephew will definitely like it, this is what I saw when I went to the second sister's house, it is very fun, the little nephew can play when he is two or three years old......"

What kind of tumbler nine consecutive Luban lock reversi, and even the kaleidoscope that Jiao Wanwan made before, a thigh-high box, the things contained are not just one or two, Jiao Wanwan couldn't help but exclaim: "How long did it take you to get these?" ”

The third princess was quite proud: "Knowing that you gave birth to a little nephew, I began to prepare, oh, by the way, what about my little nephew?" ”

"Your little nephew just slept." Empress Dowager Song said, look at the hourglass, the time is really not early, and said to Queen Wang: "It is estimated that these ladies should also come over, and they should be prepared." ”

The queen hurriedly answered, got up and went outside to tell the matter.

In less than a cup of tea, the eldest princess came over first, and then Princess Li. Seeing people, Jiao Wanwan suddenly remembered that since Zhao Guangyi's death, she hadn't seen this Princess Li for several years, but she didn't expect that this one was like ten years old, and it was not the same as before, if it wasn't for the maid to say, she almost didn't think about it.

Do you think that Zhao Dezhao's throne is already firmly seated and he will not pursue the past, so he has to go out and walk around?

"In a blink of an eye, the third sister is also getting married, the imperial sister-in-law has a motherly heart, and the husband selected for the third sister must be very good. After a few words of greeting, Princess Li suddenly cautiously changed the topic, and Jiao Wanwan realized that she went out for the sake of her children's relatives.

If they don't come out, the boys will be fine, but the big deal is to wait until they are one or twenty years old, and the official family will remember to give the marriage, but the ladies can't delay, so Princess Li plans to go out for a while.

The Empress Dowager Song actually has some sympathy for this younger brother and sister, but she doesn't like to get involved in this outside matter, who knows what the attitude of the official family is, so she also diverted the topic: "Where do I have a good vision, I, I'm old, I just want to love my eldest grandson well, let my daughter-in-law in the future, give me a few more white and chubby grandsons or granddaughters, and I will only wait to enjoy happiness in the future." ”

And he said, "You haven't seen my eldest grandson, have you?" That's exactly the same as when Defang was a child......"

Princess Li is not a stupid person, she instantly understood what the Empress Dowager Song meant, her face was slightly bitter, but she didn't dare to force it, so she had to follow the Empress Dowager Song's meaning and praise the little hairy boy over and over again.

Jiao Wanwan, as the hero who gave birth to Zhao Defang's first son, is not idle today, and people come to talk to her from time to time. When she encountered such a thing before, she was not very impatient, do you have something to say clearly? It has to be a pit here and there, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be tricked or fall into a trap, and her temperament is really not suitable for dealing with people like this, so I don't like this scene very much.

But now, I have finally grown, and I don't like it, but I still have to deal with it.

"Your little lady is getting better and better as she grows, but have you ever promised to be married?"

"Xiao Langjun of the Zhang family said that he kissed, whose family is he talking about?"

"The little lady of the Liu family has given birth to four daughters, and this time she is pregnant again, I don't know if it will be a little Langjun."

"If you want me to say, it's better to give birth to a little Langjun, marry a daughter-in-law in the future, or live in front of yourself, if you give birth to a little lady, you will marry someone in the future, it's okay to be closer, go home once in three or five months, if it's a little farther, you may not be able to go home in three or five years."

"Did Xiao Langjun take a name?"

"Wan Niang, take the child out and let the big guy take a look." As she was talking, the Empress Dowager Song suddenly ordered, Jiao Wanwan hurriedly responded, got up in person, and went to the inner room to take the child out.

Three or five women came around, and while watching, they lowered their voices and said: "It's really good, you can see it now, you will definitely be as handsome and chic as the prince in the future, I don't know how many little ladies I can charm in the future." ”

"It's also good-looking to be a mother." Jiao Wanwan looked sideways, and there were still people who praised themselves for their good looks! You must know that since she married Zhao Defang, her appearance must be the gap between the stars and the moon with Zhao Defang, I didn't expect to meet someone with such vision today!

"When the Queen Mother was young, she was called a good-looking one, so she could give birth to someone like the prince." Before she could speak, the lady continued: "I don't look bad at Wan Niang, and the child will definitely look better than the prince in the future." ”

I always feel that this is a bit wrong, Jiao Wanwan is a little depressed, so if she doesn't look good, she can't blame Zhao Defang, but the problem is herself?

The full moon banquet is a kind of party, which is more lively than the three baptismal ceremonies, and the grandeur is not as grand as the first birthday banquet, and there is no heavy rule, that is, invite people to eat and drink, and then take the children out for the big guys to watch.

The Empress Dowager Song had just gotten her grandson, and she said excitedly when she saw people, and Queen Wang was busy, Jiao Wanwan took the third princess to talk back and forth with everyone, and finally it was time to eat. The two big men, the official family and Zhao Defang, were not easy to get together in the women's pile, so they went to the front palace early, and the brothers ate by themselves.

In the middle of the afternoon, the crowd was dispersed, and those who should go home went home, and the palace slowly quieted down.

I woke up once in the middle of the flower, ate the milk, played for half an hour, and then fell asleep again. Empress Dowager Song looked at the sleeping face of her precious grandson, and was very reluctant: "You will go back later?" ”

"yes." Zhao Defang nodded, seeing that the Empress Dowager Song was reluctant, she hurriedly said: "Mother, when the child is older, two or three years old, if you miss him, let him come to the palace for two days, and now the child is still ...... young."

The Empress Dowager Song is her own grandmother, and she has a nurse to serve her, so it is said that she will be fine. But this palace, not everyone likes Zhao Defang's son, what if you want to use it as cannon fodder?

The child was still young, and Jiao Wanwan was really reluctant to let him leave her side, so she didn't speak at this time.

Empress Dowager Song was not unreasonable, sighed slightly, and only said to Jiao Wanwan: "You will have to be free in the future, but you have to hold the child more to come and see me." Don't come before the year, the child is still young, the weather is cold, you don't have to worry about it yourself, I have to worry too, wait for the spring to warm up. ”

talked about the Spring Festival again: "I know that you couldn't take care of it some time ago, so I specially asked someone to prepare it for you, just go back and let your imperial sister-in-law reward it, and you don't have to be too polite." After a pause, he said, "The matter of the academy ......"

Jiao Wanwan's heart immediately came up, she didn't forget it, the Empress Dowager Song didn't approve of her opening the academy before. She didn't disobey the yang and the yin, and even dragged the queen into the gang, so the Empress Dowager Song might not be happy.

It's no wonder that she was so happy before, but she didn't notice it, and she actually discussed things in the academy with Queen Wang for a long time in front of the Empress Dowager Song.

"Mother, I have always remembered your words, I will never let myself be tired, the things in the academy, I just grasp the general direction, formulate a policy plan, and the rest is done by the gentlemen in the academy, I didn't interfere at all."

Without waiting for Empress Dowager Song to say, Jiao Wanwan was busy coquettish: "I haven't been to the academy since November, don't worry, mother, I pay attention to my body." ”

Empress Dowager Song couldn't help laughing: "I know you didn't go much, otherwise, it wouldn't be a matter of one or two sentences today." In the past, I stopped you, because I was afraid that you would not be able to distinguish priorities and put the cart before the horse, but now that the child has been born, I don't care so much, you just have it in your own heart, but there is one, you must not ignore your body, no matter how busy and tired you are, you have to take care of yourself. ”

Jiao Wanwan nodded hurriedly, very well-behaved: "Don't worry, mother, I not only have to take care of myself, but also take care of Defang and Cinna, I always remember that nothing is as important as my own father-in-law's children, first of all, and then those things outside." ”

This can't be said by the Empress Dowager Song, she has to say it herself, so that she can be sincere.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Song showed a satisfied smile on her face, nodded and said, "It's good that you understand, a woman's family is strong for a lifetime, and a dull is also a lifetime." Since you are married and have children, you should put your family first, and it is not that you have no food or drink at home, and you have to go out to earn money, so the college, you have to be a hobby, you have to take care of it when you are empty, and if you are not free, you will put it first, and ask someone to take care of it for you. ”

sighed again: "Spelling out a world, it's easy to say, but it's not easy to do, throughout the ages, how many women have achieved anything?" Aren't they all safe and stable, married and had children, and passed plainly? ”

Jiao Wanwan just nodded in response, she had also visited various forums in her previous life, and the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was the most difficult to handle. If you have a big temperament, when your mother-in-law says something unpleasant, she can't help but refute it, and she will feel that she has been wronged or something.

But Jiao Wanwan never felt that there was anything unbearable about this, when people are old, it is inevitable to chatter, and if they say something unpleasant, she just didn't hear it. Besides, the Empress Dowager Song is already much better than the vast majority of mothers-in-law in this world, at least, she only sees her two or three times a month, and at most, only ten times a month.

The Empress Dowager Song never let her daughter-in-law stand in front of her, what is good, and never forget to reward some of them, at most, what she said is not very popular, but what is this, originally the two of them are separated by hundreds of years, and once it is formed, it is difficult to change it.

Jiao Wanwan herself also knows that even if she has traveled through many years, the things engraved in her bones still haven't been changed. Empress Dowager Song is in her forties, and she told her something modern, which can definitely scare people to death.

It's better not to say it, anyway, the Empress Dowager Song is also addicted.

flattered the Empress Dowager Song, and when she said enough, Jiao Wanwan was able to hold her son and follow Zhao Defang out of the palace. In front of Zhao Defang, Jiao Wanwan never said bad things about the Empress Dowager Song, but said with a smile: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, I must pay more attention in the future, if I don't do anything well, ignore you and my son, don't be angry, just remind me." ”

Zhao Defang smiled and touched her head: "You are doing a good job, we don't have no maids in our house, three meals a day are complete, food, clothing, housing and transportation arrangements are in place, you can't go and rob the maids to do something, right?" Do what you have to do, and I'll help you with anything. ”

Jiao Wanwan, who said this, was greatly moved, and looked at Zhao Defang with starry eyes: "Lang Jun, you are so good." ”

Zhao Defang raised his eyebrows, leaned into Jiao Wanwan's ear and whispered: "If you really think I'm good, why don't we give birth to a younger brother for Wo Yuan?" ”

Jiao Wanwan was embarrassed, and the full emotion disappeared, a little speechless, is this still the gentle and jade-like man when she first got married? This sentence, is it really said by the male god with a dusty temperament?

Zhao Defang couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he asked: "What kind of table did I see you get before, what is the classification of physical chemistry, and what is physical chemistry?" ”

"Physics is the study of some forces, motion, sound, light and other disciplines......" Jiao Wanwan spent a lot of effort to explain, and then, Zhao Defang summed it up in one sentence: "Is it the "Book of Ink", "On Balance", and the things on "Xuan Zhenzi"? ”

The corners of Jiao Wanwan's mouth twitched, and suddenly an important piece of information came to mind, Shen Kuo, "Mengxi Pen Talk", Song Dynasty.

When was the Song Dynasty? Early Song Dynasty or Late Song Dynasty or Middle Song Dynasty?

"What about chemistry?" Zhao Defang asked with great interest, and Jiao Wanwan was a little depressed: "It's alchemy, gunpowder, ceramics, copper smelting, and even clothes dyeing." ”

Zhao Defang suddenly realized, paused, and couldn't hold back: "What's the use of learning?" ”

"Of course it works, the simplest, learn physics well, and in the future be able to build the most suitable and sturdy house and bridge, all kinds of equipment, learn chemistry well, the simplest is the explosive I made a few years ago."

After a pause, he suddenly remembered an important question: "This kind of thing, is it possible, don't the officials know about it?" ”

If you know, this very powerful weapon, as a king, is not afraid, and you should find a way to control it in your own hands, right? As a result, Jiao Wanwan didn't care about herself, didn't anything happen?

Zhao Defang raised his eyebrows: "You finally remembered this?" ”

Jiao Wanwan's face turned a little pale: "What does the official family mean?" Do you plan to pursue this matter, or do you want to settle accounts later? ”

Zhao Defang didn't speak, Jiao Wanwan's face became more and more pale, her expression became more nervous, and her voice trembled a little: "Isn't it, is it that we can't step out of the capital again in our lives?" Or, which one of us is a member of the official family? ”

This last sentence also suppressed the voice very well.

Seeing that the person was really frightened, Zhao Defang sighed, stretched out his hand to take the person in his arms and patted him: "You, if you don't have me by your side, you will ...... early" swallowed the unlucky words, and then talked about the previous incident: "You haven't found out that the craftsman who helped you make the bomb before, after that incident, has he never shown up again?" ”

Jiao Wanwan even turned her lips a little white: "Dead? ”

Zhao Defang couldn't cry or laugh, and knocked on her head: "Brother Huang is not that kind of person, he was sent to the military department, and now, the power of that thing is not the power when you made it." ”
