436 [Xi Shu Returns to Beijing]
Wang Erlang's career is proud, but his life is a little unsmooth. He wanted a daughter very much, but Song Ling'er gave birth to a second child with a handle.
It's a son!
Fortunately, when he was the governor of Zhejiang, he adopted a baby girl. Before, because he was too young to travel long distances from north to south, he had been fostered in the home of a wet nurse in Hangzhou - the medical and health conditions in ancient times made it dangerous for adults to walk long distances.
Now that the adopted daughter is four and a half years old, Li Long, the capital of Zhejiang, went to Beijing to report on his work, and brought corn, incarnation, and sweet potato seeds at the same time, and brought his adopted daughter and wet nurse with him.
"Baozhu, call Daddy." The nurse taught.
Baozhu is the nickname of the adopted daughter, this girl is timid, holding the nurse's leg and hiding behind. coaxed several times, and finally showed his head, as thin as a mosquito, and said, "Daddy, Auntie." β
"Oh, that's good!" Huang E stretched out his hand to hug it, but the jewel was so frightened that he retracted it again.
The nurse said embarrassedly: "Timid, just play well." β
Wang Yuan summoned Wang Ce and Wang Su and asked them to play with the orb.
The children are more harmonious together, and they are familiar in less than half an hour. Baozhu liked Wang Ce very much, and chased and shouted "Brother Ce" all the way. Wang Su is not so popular, he is two months younger than Baozhu, and he has to continue to be a younger brother.
The young son will be 100 days old in a few days, and he will ask the head shaving master to shave off the fetal hair, and Wang Yuan will have to give his son a big name.
After thinking about it for a long time, he named it Wang Che.
Just because it was born in the middle of winter, the weather is cold and freezing. After the midwife delivered the baby, she went home and closed the road in heavy snow, and stayed in the royal house for one more day. Che has the meaning of accessibility, and hopes that he can break through the snow and ice in the future, break through various difficulties and realize his life ideals.
By the way, the name of the adopted daughter was also given, and she was called Wang Hui (pronounced hΓΊn here). Hun, Meiyu also, and the "military" department, alluding to the fact that it was picked up outside the barracks.
Wang Hui, also known as Baozhu, is quite favored by all rooms at home, because she is the only little girl in the family.
One day, Wang Yuan stayed overnight in the incense room.
After Xiangxiang gave Wang Yuan a wide coat, she hesitated: "Master, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Song both have children under their knees. Can Hun'er let the concubine raise her? It's also a little more lively on weekdays. Don't worry, the concubine will treat her as her own. β
Wang Yuan didn't agree immediately, but said, "I'll discuss it with the two ladies." β
"Oh." Xiang Xiang squeezed out a smile.
Wang Yuan hugged the alien beauty sideways and said with a smile: "It's not easy to have a child? Let's have one quickly. β
Xiangxiangqiao's face turned crimson, and suddenly hooked Wang Yuan's neck again, and threw out a fox look: "Then the master should be more brave tonight." β
"When am I not brave?" Wang Yuan asked.
Xiangxiang smiled: "Tonight must be particularly brave." β
The maid Qiyun is almost fifteen years old, and she is more beautiful than Xiangxiang. She has Persian, Mongolian and Vultures of blood, her brown-black hair is naturally slightly curly, her eyes are dark gray, her eyelashes are old and long, her figure developed earlier than that of the Han Chinese, and her breasts, waist and long legs can hook away a man's soul.
Seeing that the lord and the lady were tired of it, Qiyun withdrew from the room with a red face. She waited outside the door, and when the battle was over, she had to bring hot water in to help clean it.
The next day, Wang Yuan found Huang E and Song Ling'er, and both agreed to let Xiangxiang raise Baozhu.
Although the three rooms are separated from room and board, the two sons and one daughter have a good relationship and play together every day, and the three mothers usually get along harmoniously.
The corn, sweet potato, and peanut seeds brought by Li Long were all selected by Xingtai in Hangzhou, and a student was also sent to guide the cultivation. This student is equivalent to Wang Yuan's apprentice grandson, and when he saw that his grandfather was extremely respectful, he took the tenant farmers of the Wang family to cultivate carefully, and at the same time experimentally summarized the differences between the planting in the south and the north.
As soon as the three crops sprouted, Xi Shu, who was in charge of disaster relief in Shaanxi, returned to Beijing and came to visit Wang Yuan as soon as possible.
Wang Yuan took his wife, concubines, and children to the gate to greet him, and gave him enough to write a book. After coming to the living room, Wang Yuan said again: "Master Xi, please take a seat!" β
Receiving such courtesy, Xi Shu was very happy, and hurriedly excused himself: "No need, the guest is as you please, if you are empty, please sit first." β
Wang Yuan arched his hand and sat down and said, "After many years, Master Xi is in good health?" β
"It's okay," Xi Shu said with emotion, "Thinking back then, if you were a weak teenager, you would already be in the left hall of the Ministry of Rites in the blink of an eye. The world is changing, unpredictable, and the straight people are embarrassed. And my two brothers, thanks to Ruoxu's care. β
Xi Shu's two younger brothers, Xi Chun and Xi Yan, have both been admitted to the Jinshi and are both members of the physics school.
It's just that the two of them don't have any ambition to study physics, so they don't do experiments with their classmates for a long time.
Among them, Xi Chun not only took the Jinshi examination, but also entered the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, and is currently reviewed from the Qipin Hanlin Academy. Wang Yuan helped to ask for an errand, and the emperor promised to let Xi Chun be the prince's attendant in the western class, and when the prince began to study the Five Classics, Xi Chun would be able to follow the prince's attendant, as long as there were no accidents, he would at least be able to become a waiter.
Xi Yan changed his fate because of Wang Yuan, who served as a household branch in history. Because of his persuasion to Wuzong's southern tour, he was demoted to Yiling as a judge, and died of illness on the way back to Beijing after being reinstated. Although Xi Yan also advised this time, the emperor did not punish Wang Yuan for the sake of his face, but promoted him to the right of the household.
Taking care of the two younger brothers like this, coupled with the teacher-student relationship, Xi Shu was naturally bound to Wang Yuan's boat.
Xi Shu suddenly asked, "How is Liu Yaozu now?" At the beginning, Guizhou Zhusheng, he studied the hardest, and he could be described as a thorn in the beam. β
Wang Yuan smiled bitterly: "I hope he can win next year." β
"Not yet lifted?" Xi Shu was quite surprised.
Liu Yaozu was admitted to the student class, and he still scored the papers in the book, and personally gave him the fame of showing talent. How many years have passed, and he is still a showman, and there is really no way to talk about the imperial examination.
In Xi Shu's opinion, with Liu Yaozu's knowledge, it is not difficult to put aside the examination in Guizhou.
But I just can't pass the test!
Wang Yangming, those students in Guizhou, Chen Wenxue and Ye Wu have the highest knowledge, but the brothers Tang Yan and Tang Xun are all Jinshi, and Chen and Ye are still studying hard. Who is this reasonable?
Zhang Xuan is known as the great Confucian of Zhejiang, and he has been admitted for decades, and he was only admitted last year when he was old.
After chatting about the old things in Guizhou, Wang Yuan suddenly asked: "Master Xi, how is the disaster situation in Shaanxi?" β
Xi Shu shook his head and sighed: "Where did I go to disaster relief?" I'm here to fight bandits! β
Last year, there were disasters in various provinces at the same time, and the money and food of the imperial court were simply not enough to provide disaster relief. Ministers of disaster relief from all walks of life, the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showed their magical powers, how many victims could be saved without chaos, anyway, in the end, they all became bandit commissioners.
Once someone raised an incident, there were countless displaced people, and a lot of disaster relief food became military food, and the disaster relief minister took his soldiers everywhere to suppress the uprising.
Now when we talk about rewarding meritorious deeds, we are not talking about disaster relief, but about the efforts of all kinds of governors to calm the chaos!
Wang Yuan is also helpless about this, God is too ruthless, the feudal dynasty really can't bear the climate of the Xiaoice River.
"Alas, it's okay not to mention it," Wang Yuan said, "Xi Shi has returned to Beijing this time, and the position of Zuo Du Yushi should be fine." β
Xi Shu said in a low voice: "I heard that a while ago, the court fought fiercely? β
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Yang Tinghe is currently the dominant family, and his party forces account for half of the cabinet, the small half of the official department, the small half of the household department, the majority of the ritual department, and the entire criminal department. More than half of the officials in Kedao are members of the Yang Party. Moreover, the eunuch Zhang Yong got the right to write and could approve the red on behalf of the emperor, and Zhang Yong and Yang Tinghe had already colluded. β
Xi Shu was dumbfounded: "Can the eunuch approve the red on behalf of the emperor?" This...... Confused! β
Wang Yuan smiled: "In my opinion, half of the emperor is really confused, and half of it is deliberate. First set up two targets for the ministers, the emperor's cronies occupy the key departments, and after the following trouble, the emperor can take advantage of the chaos to do what he wants. β
Xi Shu sighed: "The king can't be too powerful. β
As long as Xi Shu is in the capital for a while, he knows how much energy his students have. Not to mention the emperor's favor, there are two cabinets who are friendly with him, and there is also a Liang prince who is also forced to move closer to him, the old man is the head of the household, and Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also has the intention of forming an alliance with him, the Ministry of Industry is directly controlled by him, and Liao Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, is also biased towards him.
Yang Tinghe is a political alliance over there, and Wang Yuan also has the rudiments of a political alliance on his side.
Moreover, the more Yang Tinghe and Zhang Yong went too far, the more stable Wang Yuan's political alliance became!
