Wang Yi walked to the courtyard where his parents were, and the two maidservants followed in a panic.

"Madam, be careful with the soles of your feet, don't go too fast, be careful of the tires."

Although Wang Yi was actually not walking fast, just making a fuss with the maidservant, she still carefully slowed down her pace. For the sake of the flesh and blood in her stomach, she didn't dare to be negligent.

Now the Han family is not only Yun Niang and Zhou Nan are already pregnant, but Wang Yi was also diagnosed with good news and pregnant less than half a month after Han Gang left.

The backbone of the family is not there, and there are three pregnant women at once, and the internal and external affairs of the house cannot be managed by Yan Suxin alone, and the woman's family is a concubine, and it is also troublesome to deal with the outside world. After arriving at the end, he could only rely on Wang Yi's mother's family, borrowed a side courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the whole family lived in.

With a large family, including three children, the prime minister's mansion became much more lively, and it was no longer as deserted as in the past: except for the number of relatives, friends, doormen, and a small number of servants, the family was less than ten people.

The children were all playing together in Wang Anshi and Wu's yard. The three sons and daughters of the Han family are in excellent spirits, running and jumping with the ball, chasing and making noise. And although Wang Yan's youngest son is not as crazy as his cousins, because he has recently learned the Han Gang family's method of taking care of the child, he is much better than the sick in the past, and he is also very energetic screaming and jumping, and his little face is red and fluttering, and he will soon be sweating profusely.

Wu was next to him and watched the children play with a smile, embroidering with a pattern in his hand. Although the grandchildren are making a lot of noise, the family has not been so lively for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yan's illness was getting worse day by day, Wu's heart would be even happier than it is now.

However, when she saw Wang Yi entering the courtyard, the children immediately did not dare to make trouble, and Jin Niang brought her two younger brothers, Han Zhong and Han Cheng, to salute obediently. Wu turned around unhappily and said reproachfully: "Second sister, you have a body now, don't move around too much, you have to give birth to a good body." Don't learn from your family's Nanniang and Yunniang, after the morning and dusk are settled, how good is it to raise them quietly?! ”

"Mother, are you afraid that your daughter will control Jin Niang and them, right?" Wang Yi sat down with a smile and asked Jin Niang and them to make trouble a little farther away in the courtyard. She knew how much the Wu family liked children, and Jin Niang was in front of the Wu family, who had a habit of cleanliness, even if they knocked over the flower pots, soiled the bedspreads, and smashed the windows, they were all right and wrong. He said to Wu again: "The official said that even when she is pregnant, she must walk every day, so that she can have the strength to give birth, and Yun Niang and Nan Niang walk around a lot in the yard." ”

"Uncle even said this!" The Wu family was not happy, but immediately remembered that Han Gang also had a great reputation among Wen Po.

"The official is also worried about his daughter, so he said this."

Seeing his daughter's happy look when she mentioned Han Gang, Wu was not happy in her heart. Of course, it is a good thing that the second daughter and her husband and wife have a good relationship, and I don't know how many times luckier than the eldest daughter, but the things in the family are not only between the husband and wife:

"I heard your father say that the two terms of in-laws are over, and the performance appraisal is being selected every year, and it is time to go to Beijing in the middle of the year. Since you and Yukun got married, the in-laws on both sides have not seen each other, and the in-laws and mothers have let people send Longyou's scenery over every New Year's holiday, but there are not many suitable gifts to send back on our side. ”

"My aunt also asked people to send a message saying that the family likes the tea and satin sent by the mother, and she wants her daughter to thank her on her behalf."

After Han Gang married Wang Yi, the two families also exchanged gifts according to festivals, although one on both sides was the prime minister and the other was a peasant official, but there was no distinction between respect and inferiority in the in-laws, and Wang Anshi and his wife did not have a condescending attitude.

"Borrowing flowers to send Buddha is not sincere." Wu put the embroidery needle into the needle, and admonished Wang Yi seriously: "The father-in-law and mother-in-law are also old, and one son is not by his side. It's also wrong for you to say it, second sister, since you are already the daughter-in-law of the Han family, you should stay in Longxi according to the rules, how can you accompany Yukun out together. ”

The Han family and his wife were left with a son of Han Gang, and the old couple stayed in Longxi as officials, and they had no care around them, so they could only rely on Feng Congyi, a cousin, to serve. If it spreads, it will inevitably damage Han Gang's reputation.

Wang Yi was a little aggrieved, but Han Ah Li was anxious to have a full house of children and grandchildren, so she urged herself to go to Beijing, otherwise even if she was reluctant, she would not fail to abide by the rules of the world. It's just that her mother took the gang and admonished her, and she didn't dare to distinguish it.

Wu trained his daughter a few words, and he was reluctant to train again, his daughter can often see each other by her side, how can she be unhappy, and then said: "I don't know where your father is going to talk about when, the illness has not recovered thoroughly, so I can't sit still!" ”

Wang Anshi has to deal with heavy official duties, and on the other hand, he is also worried about the increasingly serious illness of his eldest son. Better than a day. I barely survived a winter, and in the spring I couldn't hold it anymore. It's not that Wang Anshi made a gesture of complaining about illness in the past because of the dispute with Zhao Ji, but he was really sick, and he has taken ten days of sick leave these days.

The imperial doctors sent by the Son of Heaven one after another, and the envoys from the palace had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion three or five times a day. After Wang Anshi rested for a while, his body also recovered a lot. can also receive officials who come to visit the sick - because he is already participating in political affairs, if he wants to avoid suspicion, it is inconvenient for Lu Huiqing to visit Wang Anshi more often even in the name of visiting the sick - the work of passing on the important affairs of the court is handed over to Zeng Xiaokuan:

"Zhang Zihou and Han Yukun's achievements this time are not small, with the intention of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Zihou should be the master, and Han Yukun has changed from a fake dragon to a big dragon."

Wang Anshi sat in the rocking chair given to him by Han Gang, his knees covered with wool felt, and the spring afternoon sun shone on him and Zeng Xiaokuan. Squinted his eyes and shook slowly: "I didn't expect to be a straight bachelor, only twenty-five......"

In the world, it is commonly known that the bachelor of the Dragon Pavilion is the old dragon, the straight bachelor is the big dragon, and the small dragon is served, and the straight dragon pavilion before Han Gang is a fake dragon, and the unlucky ghost who does not move until death in the Zhilong Pavilion is laughed at and called the dead dragon. Han Gang crossed the first level of the waiter system and jumped to the level of a straight bachelor, just like a carp jumping over the dragon gate.

"The major affairs of the country are in worship and worship. Sacrificing to the gods and ancestors of heaven and earth is just a daily thing. And on the top of the medal, only military merit is the heaviest! Speaking of the speed of Han Gang's promotion, although Zeng Xiaokuan was also speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, it was very reasonable: "Back then, Wang Zichun was successively awarded the two titles of Bachelor of the Senior Administration Hall and Bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, breaking the old practice of not being awarded if he was not in power, and he relied on his military exploits in Longyou to expand his territory. Now Yongzhou is victorious, with thousands of people to break 100,000 enemies, more than 10,000 captives, Zhang Zihou from the Longtu Pavilion bachelor to the Duan Ming Palace, from the pavilion to the palace; Han Yukun's promotion from Zhige to Bachelor is also a matter of course. ”

"Bao Xiaosu is a straight bachelor to the top, and the service system has been done for many years, when Bao Xiaosu is mentioned outside, it is mostly shouting about the Bao service system." Bao Zheng was Wang Anshi's old boss, and when he was in the group pastoral supervisor, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both served as group pastoral judges under Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng's name is important in the world, and the world admires him, and he didn't even have a genuine palace bachelor in the end. And his son-in-law is at the same age as him, although he doesn't think that Han Gang can't afford it, but he can't help but feel emotional.

"Bao Xiaosu is unlucky, if he retires from the post of privy deputy envoy, he will have a senior palace."

Wang Anshi sighed: "There is also a reason why the ministers are not liked by others." ”

Literary jobs are not obtained by qualifications, except for a few officials who have to work in the pavilion, the vast majority of them are additional officials who give the good name of courtiers. If you want to get a better job title, you either rely on merit, or you are liked by the Son of Heaven or the Prime Minister, or you can go up from the Hanlin Bachelor to the rank of Governor.

Bao Zheng was a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and later became a straight bachelor of the Privy Council, although the name of Qingjie spread all over the world, the people of the capital still miss it, and even the head of the Hehuang Fan Department asked for the surname Bao. But he had no military merits, he lacked a literary name, and often lectured Emperor Renzong and sprayed him with saliva, and the time he was a privy deputy was too short and he died in office, so he only achieved a straight bachelor in the literary title.

On the contrary, many unknown people have obtained the title of bachelor for various reasons, such as the Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion, Guanwen Palace, Senior Administration Palace, etc., and now there are several courtiers in the court who can't remember their names.

However, just like after the official entered the court official sequence, the promotion of the rank is no longer of much significance. The promotion of the literary position, beyond the line of servant, is not very important, but it just sounds good—after reaching a certain position, qualifications are no longer an obstacle, and the rest is the competition for dispatch.

"Guangxi transshipment envoy Li Pingyi is from the Si Fenglang of the six products. Yukun's job name has been promoted, and the official will also be relocated due to merit according to the regulations, and he will be from the Langzhong of the sixth grade. The two officials are at the same level, and Yukun is far superior in terms of job name. The following Ling Shang is not legal, and the transfer will definitely be taken over by Yukun. As for Li Pingyi, this time it can be regarded as a small achievement, and Lu Jifu's opinion is that he should be transferred to Guangdong. ”

"How is the office of the Golden Man determined?" It is reasonable for Han Gang to be the transfer envoy, and the ability is there, Wang Anshi only asked about the other gifts, "This Yongzhou victory, he is out of the dead, without his 5,000 soldiers and horses, 100,000 Jiaozhi troops, even Yukun can do nothing." ”

It is rumored that Han Gang broke 100,000 with 1,000, but it was actually the result of omitting the 5,000 soldiers of Huang Jinman, and the role played by Huang Jinman and his Guangyuan barbarian army in the Yongzhou War was very clear both inside and outside the court.

"The two governments propose to promote Guangyuan Prefecture from Thorn Prefecture to Tuanlian Prefecture, appoint him as the regimental training envoy of Guangyuan Prefecture, and inspect the barbarian department on Guangnan West Road, and appoint two of their sons, Huang Yuan and Huang Quan." Zeng Xiaokuan recounted the merits under discussion for Wang Anshi: "In addition, Li Xin, the deputy envoy of the reserve treasury and the governor of Jinghu South Road, is the deputy envoy of Wensi and the right to send Guangxi to the jurisdiction of Guangxi - it just so happens that Gao Bian died in Yongzhou; The Guizhou military sentenced Su Ziyuan to persuade the golden man to surrender, recover Kunlun Pass alone, and assisted in the war, plus his father Su Mian was outstanding in Yongzhou, and it was a closed door to death, so he should be sent to Yongzhou with his power, and changed from military capital to civil capital, and was the prince Zhongyun - but Su Ziyuan was worried about the system, and now the Chinese book has not yet decided whether to win love. ”

Speaking of Su Mian, Wang Anshi couldn't help but sigh.

He has some images of the Yongzhou Zhizhou who was martyred. Although the last time Su Mian entered Beijing, he was still in Jiangning and did not meet him. But Su Mian entered Beijing several times before, and Wang Anshi was in the political hall and also met him. Although the prime minister didn't talk much because there were too many officials to meet in a day, Su Mian left Wang Anshi with the image of a border minister with outstanding talent and old in political affairs. It's just that I didn't take Su Mian's warning to heart before, if I really listened to it, maybe there wouldn't be a big mess this time.

"Recruit Su Ziyuan into the capital first, the Son of Heaven should want to see him. And for the strategy of cochin, it is also the most appropriate to ask him. ”

If the north can free up its hands, it should be sent to pacify Jiaojiao. But I don't know if the north side of the road can calm down. Because the Jingnan Army showed unexpected combat effectiveness, the Son of Heaven's confidence in the forbidden army was greatly increased, and then his attitude towards Xiao Xi's blackmail changed to tough. Looking at this momentum, it is definitely about to regain Fengzhou.
