Chapter 572: A Letter from Princess Dening
"Husband, isn't the winter and summer vacation in primary school a little too long, the weather is too hot in summer, and it is too difficult to cool down, and students can't concentrate on studying, but although it is a little colder in winter, it's a big deal to wear more cotton clothes, and so many students stay in the classroom, and they can't freeze at all, so I think we can shorten the winter vacation a little bit and let students have more time to study." In the warm pavilion in the back garden, Ouyang Wanling cooked tea for Zhao Yan on three sides, and there was some resentment.
A few months ago, Ouyang Wanling finally held a relatively large wedding with Zhao Yan, although it was only a concubine, but it was more lively than the wife of an ordinary rich and noble family, after all, Ouyang Wanling was already very wronged to be a concubine for Zhao Yan, and she also had to take care of Ouyang Xiu's face, so Cao Ying would agree to hold such a grand wedding.
It is rare to encounter a heavy snow today, Zhao Yan sat in the warm pavilion while admiring the snow scene outside, while admiring Ouyang Wanling's tea art, when she heard her complaints, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Wanling, it's not right for you to think like this, children's nature likes to play freely, and it is against the nature of children to bind them in the classroom every day. Otherwise, these two holidays will not be meaningless. ”
When Zhao Yan said the end, his face couldn't help but show a solemn look, because he thought of those children in the future, who usually had a very heavy schoolwork, and finally survived the winter and summer vacations, and thought that they could easily play, but they didn't expect that several teachers took turns and issued a bunch of homework, how could there be time to play? Others don't say it, Zhao Yan hated these winter and summer vacation homework very much when he was a child. Especially when school is about to start, he has to be busy for a long time to finish his homework.
Ouyang Wanling heard Zhao Yan tell her not to assign too much homework, but her face couldn't help but turn red, because she had assigned a lot of homework to students before the winter vacation this time. The change in the expression on Ouyang Wanling's face naturally couldn't escape Zhao Yan's eyes, and he said helplessly at the moment: "Forget it this time, don't add to the burden on the child next time." In addition, although competition is a good thing, it should not be too strong, after all, the healthy development of children's physical and mental health is the ultimate goal of education! ”
The competition mentioned in Zhao Yan's words actually refers to the competition between the girls' school in charge of Ouyang Wanling and Tokyo Primary School, the two primary schools are from Zhao Yan's hands, but the boys and girls are separated, and the usual exams are conducted uniformly, and they will inevitably use their grades to make comparisons, Ouyang Wanling is more competitive. The requirements for students are also strict, and they can beat Tokyo Elementary School in every exam, but Zhao Yan thinks that although there is competition, Ouyang Wanling does not have to take the victory or defeat too seriously, otherwise it will not be conducive to the future development of the girls' school.
Ouyang Wanling has always been the most convinced of Zhao Yan's words, and after listening to it, she also nodded seriously, and decided to think about her gains and losses in education after going back. But at this moment, I suddenly heard a silver bell-like laugh outside: "Sister's competitive temperament is indeed going to change." Some students have already complained to me that my sister is usually too strict, and they don't dare to speak when they see you. ”
With the sound of talking outside. I saw Yan Yuru stretch out her hand to open the curtain of the warm pavilion and walk in. I saw Yan Yuru wearing a white dress, with bright eyes and beautiful teeth, and a little girl with pink carved jade in her hand, it was Zhao Yan's baby daughter Siyue, I saw that Xiao Siyue was also wearing a white cotton skirt, standing with Yan Yuru like two little fairies. Even Ouyang Wanling couldn't help but show a surprised look when she saw them.
"Daddy~" Siyue saw Zhao Yan immediately pounced, and then jumped into Zhao Yan's arms and laughed, Zhao Yan was worried that she would fall, and hugged her tightly while telling her to be careful. Yan Yuru walked in with a smile, and then gently sat down beside Zhao Yan. Speaking of which, although Siyue is Xue Ning'er's daughter, she likes to be close to Yan Yuru very much during this time, which makes Xue Ning'er quite complaining, and often says that when Yan Yuru gives birth to a child, she must also snatch her child.
"Yuru, didn't you play cards with the second sister, how did you come here?" Ouyang Wanling looked at Zhao Yan's father and daughter who were playing, and then said to Yan Yuru with a smile, it snowed today, and the women in the family got together to play cards, Ouyang Wanling had poor luck these days, so she came to accompany Zhao Yan.
"Ning'er said that my luck was too bad, so she drove me down, and it just so happened that Siyue was clamoring to come to her husband again, so I brought her here." Yan Yuru also smiled at this time, there were too many women in the family, so she was in a group with Xue Ning'er, but she lost several times in a row, and was driven down by Xue Ning'er.
"Giggles, it turns out that we still have the same disease!" Ouyang Wanling couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, but then she looked at Yan Yuru's lower abdomen with some envy, "But it's not good for your health to always sit and play cards after pregnancy, so Sister Yuru will have to move around more in the future, and it will be easier to have children in the future." ”
Yan Yuru couldn't help but blush when she heard Ouyang Wanling's words, just half a month ago, she also felt a little uncomfortable, but Cao Ying personally checked her pulse, and immediately concluded that she was pregnant, which made Zhao Yan also overjoyed, but in this way, only Ouyang Wanling's stomach was left with only Ouyang Wanling's stomach and not moving, so now Ouyang Wanling is very envious of Yan Yuru.
"Hehe, it's not easy to have children, it's a big deal to work hard for your husband at night!" At this time, Zhao Yan, who was holding Siyue, noticed the expression on Ouyang Wanling's face, and couldn't help but joke at the moment.
"Ah~, why is the husband like this, Siyue is still here!" Ouyang Wanling was startled when she heard Zhao Yan's words, and slapped Zhao Yan shyly and anxiously, her little face was more like it was red and about to drip water.
"What are you afraid of, Siyue doesn't understand!" Zhao Yan said with a thick old face, Siyue was only three years old and didn't understand anything, so he dared to say that, and he also liked to look at the shy appearance of the women around him.
Seeing Zhao Yan and Ouyang Wanling joking, Yan Yuru next to her also showed a warm smile, although she couldn't monopolize Zhao Yan's feelings, but these sisters in the family were also very easy to get along with, and the family was lively and lively, the key was that she finally had a child of her own, as soon as she thought of this, Yan Yuru couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her lower abdomen.
Zhao Yan also noticed Yan Yuru's movements at this time, and couldn't help but smile at the moment, Yan Yuru always had an aura of not being lonely in the past, and even made people feel that she was a little difficult to get close to, but since she was pregnant with a child, Yan Yuru finally had a more maternal breath on her body, and the temperament of the whole person has also changed, which Siyue, as a child, feels the most keen, so she also likes to play with Yan Yuru during this time.
But at this moment, Zhao Yan suddenly frowned, because he thought that when Xue Ning'er and Cao Ying were pregnant, he had to go out because of some things, and even Yelusi made her pregnant when he went to Liao, which made him suddenly a little worried, this time Yan Yuru was pregnant, he wouldn't go out for anything again, right?
Thinking of the above, Zhao Yan couldn't help but be even more worried, sometimes you really can't believe in fate, for example, Cao Ying has always believed that she is favored by God, and everything has gone well since she got married, although Zhao Jia's son came two years late, but he is still Zhao Yan's eldest son, the undisputed prince of the king, Zhao Yan was influenced by Cao Ying, especially after meeting the Huining master, which made him have a deeper understanding of the wonder of fate.
"Husband, just now Sister Ying'er said that the eldest sister in Guangzhou had sent a letter, as if there was something important, and she asked me to bring the letter." At this moment, Yan Yuru suddenly thought of something, and immediately took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Zhao Yandao, when she came out just now, Cao Ying asked her to transfer it to Zhao Yan on her behalf.
"Oh?" When Zhao Yan heard that it was a letter from Princess Dening, he also attached great importance to it at the moment, reached out and took the letter and looked at it, and then couldn't help but smile a little on his face.
Most of Princess Dening's letters are asking about the situation of her son Shu'er, speaking of which Princess Dening and his wife went to Guangzhou, so they handed over Shu'er to Zhao Yan and Princess Bao'an to take care of, and now this little guy has gone to Tokyo Elementary School, but with Shu'er's intelligence, he has already finished the primary school curriculum, and he can even go to Gewu College to study, but Zhao Yan feels that he is too young, and it is better to have more interaction with his peers, so he has been letting Shu'er study in primary school.
After asking about Shu'er's situation, Princess Dening changed her words and began to ask Zhao Yan about Jiaozhi, because some time ago Zhao Shu suddenly sent her a letter, although it was only a private letter, but it raised a very strange question, that is, if you want to cede a piece of territory from Jiaozhi, where is the most appropriate, Zhao Shu wanted to listen to Princess Dening's opinion, Princess Dening was really confused, and she didn't dare to answer without permission, so she asked Zhao Yan about the situation with a flying pigeon.
Seeing the matter mentioned in Princess Dening's letter, Zhao Yan showed a smug smile, because Zhao Shu was able to ask Princess Dening about this matter, which means that he had agreed to Zhao Yanjian's matter of letting Jiaozhi cede land and pay compensation, it seems that Zhao Yan's persuasion work is still very effective.
It's just that Zhao Yan thought that although Zhao Shu had already expressed his position, there was no rumor from the court, which showed that Zhao Shu had not yet discussed with the ministers, otherwise the court would have been arguing a long time ago. Thinking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but be a little worried, but then he thought about it again, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, let Zhao Shu and them deal with it, anyway, this time he will not leave the capital again no matter what.
