Chapter 4: The child is older
No matter what Liu Rong thinks, it is impossible for Fan Ying to come back to bring them the children, and the time between the time he sends the letter now is getting longer and longer, not that he doesn't want to, but that he is really getting farther and farther away.
And over the years, the changes he has brought to the Daxing Dynasty have also been huge. Whenever he went, he would write down what he saw and thought along the way, just like the local chronicles that people had gone out in the past. So every time a letter is returned, it is as thick as a book.
And along with the letters, there are also things that he thinks are useful to Daxing, and there are also useful people. Even when he first arrived in England, he sent back a boat. At that time, British and French shipbuilding skills were also first-class in the world, so in addition to buying a shipyard, more importantly, he sent back the shipbuilding drawings and an English treasure ship.
When the big ship is sent back. Later, Jingyou began to train sailors and make big ships that could go on expeditions, not for war, but because he found the gap. Later, he will send things back, as well as various craftsmen he selected for Daxing.
So over the years, looking at it inadvertently, Liu Rong knew that the court he was in now was completely different from the previous life, and even Jingyou's mentality was different from the previous Jingyou.
Now Jing You is not as complacent as the Celestial Empire in his previous life, he often reads Fan Ying's letter with Liu Rong, and they will think together about what the places Fan Ying went to. Sometimes looking at the clothes of the foreigners sent back, when Liu Rong wore them to Jingyou, Jingyou fainted directly, and then said, no wonder he didn't come back. Of course, after saying that, he was destroyed by Liu Rong.
So I want Fan Ying to come back to see the child. It's just a delusion. All Liu Rong could do was to take out all of Fan Ying's letters. Then let people show the children the template made by Jingyou according to the route of Fan Ying's boat, and she actually didn't know if she could serve the purpose of educating children. However, let the children have a wider horizon, and let them feel the person of the eldest uncle in the letters of the uncle they have never met. She thinks she can learn something, right?
The days passed like this, and inadvertently, under the reminder of others, she suddenly realized. Her cotton cotton grows. But looking at her slim daughter, she asked herself, is her daughter really big? He was only fourteen years old. Where it is, it's big. In the last life, his daughter was twenty, and Jingyou was not in a hurry, and he came to the grassland to ask for marriage. Then he realized that he had a daughter to marry.
Now Liu Rong has two younger brothers and daughters-in-law by his side. There are also two godsisters, so when Mianmian celebrates her fourteenth birthday, they feel that they should remind Liu Rong that when the child is older, it is time to pick someone, and let people pick out all the good ones.
Liu Rong was entangled for a moment. Didn't reply, sent them away. She looked at her daughter herself, and her heart was furious.
Stinky treasure has not changed much over the years. is still as good-tempered as ever, moist and kind, and loves to read. The books that were stored for him are now useful. Liu Rong didn't mind him studying, so from the age of six, when he moved out of Yongshou Palace, he would occasionally give him a book. Why do you occasionally give a copy, because Liu Rong knows that if he gives it to him in a hurry, he is afraid that he will not read it, he must ask him to ask for it, and then give it to him, and he will be happy to read it.
Now, all these years later, he was in his prince's quarters, and in his courtyard, the largest of the rooms were filled with books. There are also Fan Ying's letters over the years, as well as the foreign books he recovered. was shunned back by him, and she followed the education method of the previous life to make her son a real reader. Moreover, this time, her son is still a broad-minded reader.
However, Liu Rong is more worried, because he is an out-and-out reader, so will Jingyou's expectations of him be successful? However, she didn't dare to ask Jingyou, mainly because she didn't know which direction she wanted to take her son.
And now the prince who still lives in the palace only has a stinky treasure, because the other princes except Hao'er are married. must be pro, Jingyou asked people to prepare the prince's mansion, and one person divided more than 100,000 taels of silver, and let them open and build the mansion by themselves.
In the last life, in fact, they were also released from the palace at the age of eighteen, but the problem is that they all got married early at that time, and they were all taught the rules in the palace before they were released. In this life, even if he got married, he was kicked out of the palace, and Liu Rong didn't know what Jingyou thought.
But Liu Rong didn't say it, it's her business. She didn't even care about the original selection. When he was going to give them a draft, Liu Rong directly pretended to be sick again, and was tossed by three nobles and a queen mother.
She didn't even interfere with what kind of choice. Jing You also understood Liu Rong's difficulties, so naturally he would not interfere, they chosen, Jing You didn't even ask and made an order, so that everyone could prepare well.
The prince doesn't matter, in fact, this time, except for Hao'er outside, the other princes are all nobles. The Empress Dowager even chose a governor's daughter to give to Jing Shi. Liu Rong looked at the name of that person, and he really knew it, it was his own daughter-in-law in the previous life.
In the last life, she was one year older than her son, because she had a good door and a good temperament, so she chose it for a while. At that time, I only felt that my son was a prince, even if the female family was the governor, it was not unworthy, and then I thought about it, sure enough, when choosing someone, I still have to watch the door, I am one of the four concubines who are silent, and there is a prince above, and I choose such a daughter-in-law by myself, isn't it self-inflicted on myself?
And Jing Shi is five years older than this, and the little girl is only thirteen years old. When I went home to prepare for the wedding, my father was the governor. Once the dowry is prepared, it will be a year or two later. But the girl was only thirteen years old, and it was decided. His daughter is really fourteen, and it seems that it is time to choose someone.
"Mother, you seem to be staring at me for a long time?" Mianmian turned around and saw that the old lady was still looking at herself.
"It's okay, you're going to take the stinky treasure out to see the market?" Liu Rong looked at her daughter and said suddenly.
"I still use it to take him, and he goes to the library every day to read books." Mianmian said indignantly.
"Have you finished reading all the books at home?" Liu Rong was stunned for a moment.
"Now Uncle Zanglou has made a society, that is, everyone is together every seven days, everyone chooses a topic, so everyone talks about learning together, so when it comes to the day of rest, Stinky Bao will go to listen to people talk about learning, and it is said that he has made several children as friends."
Liu Rong was speechless, waved his hand, and lay on the bed by himself, not wanting to move.
Mianmian moved over, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, you can let me stay by myself."
Mianmian looked at her own mother suspiciously, and deeply felt that this must not be a good thing. He glanced at it suspiciously, took a deep breath, and silently withdrew. (To be continued.) )
