Because Zhao Yuanxun originally took the road of a military general, and he was also familiar with military books, but he was weak and failed to embark on the road of a general. Now, although he is not very good at literature, and he is not good at martial arts, but at least he is both civil and military, and he is familiar with both aspects.

Based on this, when Wu Huaisi came, the two monarchs and ministers picked and chosen, and finally determined the position of the Wailang of the Arsenal of the Ministry of War, from the five products.

However, there are people in this position now, and now they are transferred, whether it is Xiao Qi or Wu Huaisi, Zhao Yuanxun, or Zhao Ruxi, they all have to be impeached by the imperial history. It is necessary to wait for the year-end official assessment, and put the person in this position to the local government Tongzhi before Zhao Yuanxun can take office.

Xiao Qi told Cen Guifei the news and asked her not to tell the news first.

The reason why Cen Guifei went to seek an official for Sui Pingbo was to sell Zhao Ruxi a favor.

Otherwise, when Zhao Ruxi gave birth to a son, Xiao Qi would be happy, and he would naturally think of Zhao Yuanxun, so that he would be promoted to a knight and brought to the capital. Later, Xiao Lingyan ascended the throne, and Zhao Yuanxun, as the queen's father, was directly promoted to Chengenhou, with unlimited scenery. There is no need for her to ask for this favor at all.

So when she got the news, she sent someone to Gusu to tell the Zhu family the news of Zhao Ruxi's pregnancy, and quietly revealed Zhao Yuanxun's promotion by the way, but she was afraid that the situation would change, so she didn't tell the specific official position.

When Zhu and the other family heard the good news, they were naturally surprised.

After feeling Zhao Ruxi's pregnancy for a while, Zhu said: "The concubine is really good. Otherwise, I'm still embarrassed. Sister Xi is pregnant, so I naturally have to go back to Beijing to take care of her. But I can't let go of my mother and you, I must be worried about both ends and running at both ends. ”

"She handed over the news, and we'll be able to do it. Mother and I will go back to the capital together, uncle, when you go to Beijing at the end of the year to report on work, let people pack up valuables, take Tai Ge'er back to Beijing, and then let the next person come back to pack other things after the holy decree is made, so that there is no need to be so troublesome. ”

The old lady stayed in the capital all her life. Although in Gusu, Zhang Shun's wife and several other official wives often came to talk to her, but she still liked the capital.

At this time, she knew that she was going back to the capital, and she didn't need to go out of Beijing, so she couldn't be happy.

The only thing she was worried about was Zhao Jingtai: "But Brother Tai studied well in the academy, and now that he has returned to Beijing, he doesn't know where to study." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuanxun laughed: "Mother, why are you still worried about this?" In the past, our family had no power or power, and we couldn't enter the country. Now that your granddaughter is the princess of Qi, who would dare not give face to let your own brother study in a national prison? ”

Only then did the old lady turn her sorrow into joy: "Yes, yes, yes." After entering the Guozijian, Peng Xijiu and the masters looked at Sister Xi'er's face, and they definitely took more care of Tai Ge'er. We don't have to worry about Brother Tai not learning well with that group of children of the family. ”

After agreeing, Zhu began to pack his things. packed up all the things that she and the old lady, as well as Zhao Yuanxun's father and son, and together with the tuyi sent by most of the subordinates in the house and several official wives, they loaded more than a dozen carriages and set off on an auspicious day.

If only one of the Zhu family was on the road, Zhang Shun would naturally be inconvenient to send it. But the old lady also set off to return to Beijing, and Zhang Shun, who had been pretending to be sweet in front of the old lady and claiming to be his son and nephew, got up early in the morning, and led his wife and children to the city gate to wait before dawn to see off the old lady.

After coming back, he sighed to his wife: "It seems that Sui Pingbo is going to be promoted again." ”

"Huh? How do you know? Mrs. Zhang asked.

"Didn't you see that the old lady and Mrs. Zhao brought a lot of things back to Beijing? It seems that they got the news and knew that they would not come again, so they emptied most of the house. ”

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a while, then sighed: "You have been in this position for several years, and you have not been promoted. Lord Zhao relied on his daughter to be promoted all the way from no official position, and this time he may have a higher official position than you. ”

Zhang Shun shook his head and said with emotion: "Don't you see it? In my position, there are many people who want to sit. It's only because I have a good relationship with Sui Pingbo and take care of him everywhere, so I have stayed here for the past two years without moving. Otherwise, I'd have had to make room for someone long ago. ”

Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened.

"That, that...... Now that they're leaving, aren't you going to move elsewhere? She said in alarm.

Zhang Shun nodded, shook his head again, and sighed: "Who knows? Wu Huaisi, the official book, is the senior brother of Princess Qi, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi favors Princess Qi alone. Maybe King Qi and Lord Wu will not necessarily move me to a good place for the sake of protecting Sui Pingbo for the past two years. ”

He glanced at his wife: "So don't learn from those shallow eyelids, only treat your son as the root of your life, and treat your girl like a mustard." Who said that the glory of the ancestors relied on men? Look at Sui Pingbo, raise a good daughter, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. ”

Mrs. Zhang's old face turned red, and she hurriedly said, "In the past two years, I have treated our girls a lot better. ”

Their family has always valued sons over daughters, and their money and energy are spent on boys, and for girls, they are also fed and clothed, and they don't put much effort into it.

Now that it's time for her granddaughters, Mrs. Zhang is still the same. The daughter-in-law wants to spend money to hire a female master to enlighten her granddaughter, but she is also not happy.

But since Zhao Yuanxun came, especially when Zhu and the old lady arrived in Gusu, the couple's minds have changed.

……

Zhao Ruxi was very pleasantly surprised by the return of the old lady and the Zhu family to Beijing, and pulled the two of them to talk for a long time, and then left them to eat in the Qi Palace, and then let them leave.

"Mother-in-law is back, and you're not so bored." Xiao Lingyan came back at night and smiled.

"Ugh." Zhao Ruxi sighed.

Since she became pregnant, a large group of people, from Cen Guifei to Qingfeng and Mama Yan, have not let her run away from the house.

Although she is very capable of staying at home, she is depressed when she thinks that she will have to stay in the house for the next year.

Although the Qi Palace's mansion is big enough, the scenery is also good. But no matter how nice the scenery is, I get tired of watching it for a month or two.

She could have taken a tough stance and left the house. But once something happens to her, Xiao Qi and Cen Guifei are inconvenient to do anything to her, and they will inevitably take these subordinates.

So she can't be willful yet, so she can only stay in the house honestly.

"It's not a problem for you to practice calligraphy and draw all day." Xiao Lingyan said, "I found you a Go master to teach you how to play chess, this can relieve your boredom." ”

Zhao Ruxi's eyes lit up suddenly.

She has good logic skills and is very interested in playing chess. When she was at Bac Ninh Girls' College, she learned Go and got good grades. She plays chess with others, and as long as she wins, she can also get points.

But because learning this requires specialization, and there must be high-level people to play chess to improve the level and earn more points, at that time she was busy all day long, rather than looking for someone to play chess, it is better to practice calligraphy and draw to earn more points, so I put this aside.

Now that I have time, I might as well pick up this hobby.
