Before entering the house, Xu Ping saw a person sitting on the steps in front of the door from a distance, shaking his head and fanning his clothes, which was extremely indecent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After staring at it for a while, Xu Ping said to Tan Hu beside him: "Look at the person sitting at the door of our house, is it the supervisor?"

Tan Hu put up a pergola and looked at it for a while, his face was full of surprise: "Yes, it is the director who is sitting there!" It's strange, the self-knowing director, I have always only known that he is stable, when have I ever seen this like this? Didn't something happen to Xijing? ”

Xu Ping didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly urged him forward.

Xu Chang saw Xu Ping and his party coming, jumped up from the steps, and walked forward quickly.

Most of the guards accompanying him have been with Xu Ping for many years, who doesn't know this great butler of the Xu family? didn't dare to stop it, and let Xu Chang get in front of Xu Ping's horse.

Xu Chang strode up and grabbed Xu Ping's reins, startling Xu Ping.

"Da Lang, what a happy event! Mrs. and Xiuxiu gave birth on the same day and gave birth to two Lin'er! The Xu family has a queen! ”

Xu Ping looked at Xu Chang in front of the horse sweating profusely, staring at himself with a pair of big eyes, and he was a little confused for a while. After a while, he reacted and grabbed Xu Chang's shoulder: "Okay!" Good! ――Are mother and child okay? ”

Xu Chang said loudly: "Mother and son are safe!" ”

"Just be safe! Just be in peace! Xu Ping muttered a few words, only to feel that his thoughts were chaotic, and he didn't know what he should do for a while, and he was just stunned when he rode on the horse.

Tan Hu whispered: "Official, it's close to the door, let's go home and talk." ”

"Okay, go home! Go home! Xu Ping said, turned over and jumped off the horse, took Xu Chang's arm, and strode towards the door.

After entering the house and being stunned for a while on the stone bench under the big tree, Xu Ping came back to his senses and said to Xu Chang: "The supervisor has worked the road, and go wash his face, and we will talk when we come back!" ”

Xu Chang got up with a smile on his face and thanked him, and went to the side to wash his face. After the child was born and the mother and child were safe, he rode a fast horse to the capital. There was almost no rest along the way, and I had to tell Xu Ping the good news as soon as possible.

The two daughters are well-behaved and sensible, but they are daughters after all, although Zhang Sanniang doesn't say it, she looks forward to holding her grandson every day. Xu Ping is an only son, the incense of the Xu family must be passed on, how can he do it without a son?

This kind of thing seems to be contagious, Xiuxiu and Lin Suniang are not pregnant at the same time, but they give birth on the same day. Zhang Sanniang dragged her husband back and forth in a day, and she didn't know how many times she ran back and forth, and her shoes were worn out, but she didn't feel tired at all. When she knew that she had two grandchildren in one day, Zhang Sanniang's mouth never closed, and she was so happy that her face bloomed.

After being stunned for a while, Xu Ping slowly digested the news brought by Xu Chang, only to feel pleasantly surprised, and the whole person felt different. It's not that he is patriarchal, when his two daughters were born, he didn't give him the first time to give him good news. Panpan was thousands of miles away when she was born, needless to say, when her second daughter An An was born, the family was different from what he thought, and she didn't pay so much attention to it, until Lin Suniang took her to Luoyang, and he didn't get the exact news. This kind of thing relies on the impact of the first time, and when it gets older, it is still the same kiss, but there is one less surprise.

When he came back to his senses, Xu Ping called Liu Xiaoyi, took out a handful of money and silver from his body, and said to him: "You go and reward the people at home, no matter who it is, as long as it is from our family, we will be rewarded!" ”

Liu Xiaoyi agreed, turned around to leave, and was stopped by Xu Ping again, and said to him: "Also, all the panting creatures in the family, horses and cattle, will be fed tonight!" Some incense candles are also prepared, and they are burned to thank heaven and earth! ”

In the habit of his previous life, Xu Ping never asked God to worship Buddha, and he didn't care if there was a god or not. Today, I only feel that there is nowhere to release the joy in my heart, but everyone who can be thanked has been thanked one by one today.

Liu Xiaoyi just took two steps, and was called back by Xu Ping, touched that he had no money on his body, and said to him: "Get some money in the account, don't ask how much, just ask more!" Grab some good food and drink and celebrate at home tonight! ”

Liu Xiaoyi agreed, but this time he didn't leave, and said to Xu Ping: "Official, if there is anything else to tell together, I will do it together." It's not that I'm afraid of hard work, I'm just afraid of delaying my efforts. ”

Xu Ping smiled and waved his hand: "No, just these things, you go and get busy." - Hey, there is one more thing, go to Taiwei Li's mansion, one is to report the good news, and the other is to invite Li Zhang to come and drink with me. - Forget it, the director is back, let the director do it, you just have to go and get busy with other things! ”

Liu Xiaoyi shook his head helplessly with a smile, and he could also feel the joy in Xu Ping's heart, and took the money to reward people first. He started as a small servant in the Xu family, and in more than ten years, he has now become a director in charge of many industries. Speaking of life, Liu Xiaoyi has a big house, a slave and maid are hired at home, and even begged for a concubine. This kind of life encounter is not something that everyone can encounter, Xu Ping's home is his home, Xu Ping's relatives are his relatives, and he is also happy from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Chang washed his face and came back, Xu Ping asked him to sit beside him, and asked Lin Suniang and Xiuxiu about their physical condition in detail. I asked the two little guys what they looked like, whether they looked like their father or their mother, a few pounds and a few taels.

Where can Xu Chang talk about this kind of thing? When a woman gives birth, he can only wait far away, and then he runs back and forth with Zhang Sanniang's two homes, and his legs are thinner. As for what the two little Langjun look like, he really hasn't seen it.

Xu Ping was a little regretful, and asked again: "Those two ladies, which one gave birth to the eldest brother and which one gave birth to the second brother?" ”

Xu Chang said: "This matter is not sloppy at all, the young and the old are orderly, and there is no room for any difference." Mrs. gave birth according to the moment of the family, and Xiuxiu gave birth to an hour early, and she gave birth to the eldest brother. ”

Xu Ping nodded again and again: "Okay, good, no matter who is big or small, they all love him the same." ”

This hour is not half a point.

At this time, the concept of clan in society is quite weak, and the distinction between the eldest and the youngest is not clear. When the elders are there, the affairs of the family are managed by the elders, and when the elders are gone, they will be separated. Li Zhaoshu's family has seven generations of families, and this is the only one in the capital, which is a good story. But by the time of Li Zhaoshu's generation, the status has been far apart, and his own family is obviously better off than other families, which is equivalent to splitting up. In a clan, when the elders are there, they see who the elders like, and whose status is higher. When the elders are gone, it depends on who is the most official, whose family has more money, and whose power is greater, and he is more effective than others when he speaks in his own family. Even the royal family, the Song Dynasty did not follow the principle of establishing a successor, but chose the best among the sons to be the crown prince.

Lin Suniang and Xiuxiu were originally separated from each other, and there was no difference between who was the eldest brother and who was the second brother in the Xu family.

Whoever is older and who is younger is worse in grace. With Xu Ping's status, of course, the descendants will be Enyin as officials, according to the system at this time, Enyin first starts from the eldest son, and as the official position gets higher and higher, the number of places increases, extending to other children and grandchildren. is also an official, and it is generally said that the eldest son is one grade higher than the younger brothers, and the starting point is higher. And all kinds of etiquette, the eldest son participates more, and there are many opportunities.

Enyin only talks about the eldest and youngest, regardless of the concubine, in fact, there is no big family in the society, and the concubine has been diluted.

After asking all kinds of details, Xu Ping's mood finally calmed down, and said to Xu Chang: "The supervisor will work hard, go to Taiwei Li's mansion, one is to report the good news, and the other is to invite Li Zhang to come over and drink two glasses of wine with me." Today's big event, I just feel that if I don't drink two glasses, I can't sleep. ”

Xu Chang agreed, so he got up and went to Li's house.

Li Zhang is married to Ying'er, nominally Lin Wensi's daughter-in-law, and he is Xu Ping's brother-in-law. The relatives of the Xu family in the capital are just like that, and of course they want to come over and rejoice with themselves. As for Huzi, because Xiuxiu is not the main room, it is Xiuxiu's relatives, but it is not a relative of the Xu family. Xu Ping himself can not care about this, in terms of social interactions, he can't fail to abide by the rules of this era.

Xu Chang and Liu Xiaoyi both left, and Xu Ping sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the red sunset in the distance through the dense branches and leaves of the big tree, and only felt a lot of emotion. Unconsciously, he is also a person with two sons and two daughters, and a big family has been formed. If there is no accident, his own branch will spread and become a big family in this era.

In ten years, I have really changed a lot, and in this world, I have raised a small sky. There are parents, lovers, children, all kinds of friends, and countless bonds. Dissolving into this world and changing this world, because of these fetters, Xu Ping became more and more active, and he had to take the initiative.

The framework for political reform has been propped up, and what Xu Ping has to do now is to carefully escort the reform and not deviate from the right track. As for some small stumbling blocks, it is inevitable, and you don't need to care too much about it, the most important thing is to sum up experience and learn lessons, after all, Xu Ping himself is also learning by doing, not an all-knowing and all-powerful prophet. Who knows, is it the correct understanding of one's own half-understood previous life, or the correct summary of the people in this world?

As long as we are still in the camp of reform, as long as we keep moving forward, all problems will be solved in practice.

The real problem that Xu Pingping is facing is the upcoming war in the northwest. The forbidden army is like a hedgehog, without war, Xu Ping has nowhere to start. Without military reform, political reform will not be thorough. Moreover, if the war in the northwest cannot be won, many efforts will be in vain. In every way, Xu Ping had to be involved in that battle and be able to win.
