Xi Hongdou also feels a headache about Abu's future, and now he is still young, and he should study, but when he is older, what should Abu do?

Even if the Hui people read Yan Yun's book, they will not be able to take the imperial examination in the future, and she also knows that when Abu gave up on himself and didn't want to read before, although she was so drumble, she still had to be realistic in the future, so she asked: "Abu, what do you want to do in the future?" For example, what do you do for a living and what do you like to do? ”

"I like to be with my sister." Abu said.

Xi Hongdou smiled, and then said: "You can't be with Sister A for the rest of your life, now you are only ten years old, and you are still a little chick, and you will have hard wings in the future, and you will be able to take charge of yourself yourself." ”

"Then I'll do business, Sister likes to make money, then I'll make money." Abu said: "Sister has time to teach me to plan the plate, Sanda said that you have to plan the plate when doing business." Abu said.

Xi Hongdou smiled, doing business is also a way out, and he can make a living in the future.

"Sister doesn't need an abacus, let's memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table first." Xi Hongdou said that in the future, he must also be able to calculate the accounts before he can do business.

The next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was much quieter in the Yamen, and the servants went back to accompany their families, and it was easy for a few days throughout the year.

Everyone in the family has changed into new clothes, and Xiao Zhi's clothes are also new, but Xi Hongdou's needlework is not very good, and the clothes are all made by tailors in the tailor's shop.

There were a few firecrackers on the street from time to time, Xi Hongdou guessed that it was a child to play together, so he took some off his own firecrackers and gave Abu a hand, so that Abu also played with the children outside, but Abu didn't want to go, so he wanted to read.

"Those children are like little fools, I don't want to go!" Abu made Xi Hongdou laugh with a word, this Abu is quite arrogant.

Xi Hongdou said: "Although it's good to read, but if you read too much, you will become a little nerd, you should play and you have to play, and you can't do business with your elm head, and you have to be gregarious in the future, you can't ignore people because you think they're stupid!" Xi Hongdou coaxed and persuaded Abu to finally get Abu out to play.

Xiao Zhi asked at this time: "Have you mentioned to him about letting him go back to Hui?" ”

Xi Hongdou shook his head: "Even if you go back, you don't have to be in such a hurry, it's still young." ”

"I will grow up soon, but it will be you, the longer the time, the more reluctant you will be." Xiao Zhi understands Xi Hongdou, Abu has been raising him by his side for a few years, and he has developed feelings.

Xi Hongdou sighed: "People are not grass and trees, when he grows up, if he wants to go back, it's not too late to leave." "Such a young child is also unaccompanied, even if he goes back, he will not have a good time, and when this child grows up with some ability, she will not stop where she wants to go.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xi Hongdou couldn't hold on to stay up all night, and after leaving a candle in the house, he went to sleep first, Xiao Zhi sat at the head of the bed and read the book, watching Xi Hongdou's hand slip out of the quilt, and gently covered it.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xi Hongdou woke up early in the morning, and Xiao Zhi stayed up until the second half of the night to sleep, and he didn't wake up at this time.

When Xi Hongdou was tidying up her clothes, she saw the letter sent by Mrs. Xiao in Xiao Zhi's arms, so she opened it and took a look, and sure enough, she knew that the content of the letter would not be so simple, and Mrs. Xiao was really still giving birth.

Looking back at Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi should have seen that she didn't want to have a child so early, so she deliberately didn't tell her.

A lot of red envelopes were sent out, and there were no relatives in Lihong County, and Xi Hongdou had nothing to do in the yamen.

Xiao Zhi rarely proposed to go out of the city to go around, except for Liu Fu to take care of his family in the yamen, the rest of Abu and Rue Xiang all took a carriage to play outside the city.

The characteristics of the north are naturally the snow scene, the snow is capped, and the mountains are towering, which are the most beautiful scenery in Shuobei.

Xi Hongdou looked at the snow scene outside the carriage and sighed, in the end, he should be outside to see the mountains and rivers, and this mood and mentality are different.

In the evening, a few people were just about to go back, Liu Fu hurriedly came over, Xi Hongdou was curious, and heard Liu Fu panting to Xiao Zhi: "Young master, someone from the yamen is coming, go back quickly." ”

Xiao Zhi asked, "The people want to sue?" ”

Liu Fu shook his head: "It's someone from Kyoto City, and he came with a holy decree!" ”

Xiao Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xi Hongdou, and Xi Hongdou said, "Go back first." ”

On the carriage, Xi Hongdou looked at Xiao Zhi opposite, and his face was not very good, and he didn't dare to ask, for fear of disturbing Xiao Zhi to think about things, but Xiao Zhi finally said: "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." ”

"It can't be that Xue Ling is doing something behind his back and alarming Kyoto City, right?" Xi Hongdou asked.

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "I guess not, although Xue Ling said that it is normal for a Taishou to have some connections, but this time the person from Kyoto City came with a holy decree, unless he is the emperor's brother-in-law to have such a big face." ”

Xi Hongdou said: "Since it's not Xue Ling, it probably shouldn't be some unlucky holy decree." "Xiao Zhi has only been an official for a few days, and the only person who has offended is Xue Ling, and others have not had time to offend.

When I returned to the yamen, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the people from the Internal Affairs Office, Xi Hongdou didn't look at anything else, just looked at the expression of the sitting internal officer.

The yamen did not leave anyone during the New Year, Xi Hongdou was originally afraid of something wrong, but it has always been very peaceful, and no one has nothing to do during the New Year, and Liu Fu was left alone before, but Liu Fu went to find someone outside the city, and the yamen was empty, and there was no one who served tea and poured water.

This made the name of the chamberlain who came to announce the decree named Yuan Lu, although he was not as high as Zhao Zhen's official status, but he did a lot of errands for the emperor, and he was also considered to have a face in Kyoto City. At this time, Yuan Lu's face turned green, where he used to go to announce the decree, it represented the dignity of the heavenly family, and there were people holding and coaxing everywhere, how could he have suffered such a snub?

"Ruexiang, hurry up and pour tea!" Xi Hongdou said, I hope you don't offend people because of this little thing.

"No need, the miscellaneous family is here to announce the decree, and we can't delay the emperor's errand." Yuan Lu said, then got up and took the holy decree.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly knelt down, and all the people in the courtyard knelt down, Xi Hongdou felt sorry for his knees, in this winter, the ground is cold, and this knee is kneeling down like this, those who have been officials for many years must have rheumatoid arthritis.

Yuan Lu announced the decree above, Xi Hongdou listened carefully, and after hearing it, the expression on his face was also wonderful. The emperor's decree turned out to be to let him return to Beijing?!

After the three-year term expires, they will choose whether to stay or change to another place based on their political achievements, saying that it is a change of place, and it is not easy to return to Kyoto City, and it is more important to transfer to another place for another three years, and then wait for the opportunity.

Xiao Zhi is self-aware, although his father is also a little bit of a face in Kyoto City, and now he is "on the side" of the East Palace, but this three-year iron law cannot be said to be broken, and now he has been transferred back to Kyoto City, and he has been promoted to one level, not from the county order of the eighth grade, but from the Cao official of the eighth grade.

"Lord Xiao hurry up and accept the order, now Lord Xiao is also a celebrity in the emperor!" Yuan Lu said, if he has a head and face, that is the emperor's minion, this Xiao family will most likely take advantage of the dragon in the future, and he is not good at really putting on a face, and he will also give three points of smile when he meets.

Xiao Zhi got up after receiving the order, Xi Hongdou also quickly got up, and then invited Yuan Lu to take a seat.

Yuan Lu is not polite, this mountain and road are far away here, and he can't just leave.

Xi Hongdou hurriedly asked Liu Fu to go to the restaurant opposite to order some wine and food, and Yuan Lu said, "Don't be so troublesome." ”

"I want it, my father-in-law works hard, and then I have to go back to Beijing to resume my life, if we don't have a meal or wine, we are too unkind." Xi Hongdou said.

Xiao Zhi also knew the style of these chamberlains, so he said, "If my father-in-law is in a hurry, it's better to set off quickly." ”

Xi Hongdou looked at it and wondered if Xiao Zhi was going to leave directly?

Xiao Zhi said: "It's just in time for the New Year, if my father-in-law doesn't stay for a meal, others will say that I am not well entertained." ”

Xi Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief, so even if Yuan Lu really wanted to leave, it would not be good to really leave at this time.

Yuan Lu smiled in his heart, it was happy to live with smart people, so he said: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Rue Xiang led people to the backyard and found a quiet wing room to live in, in addition to Yuan Lu, there were a few accompanying chamberlains, and after settling down the group, Rue Xiang went to find Xi Hongdou first.

"Young grandma, young master is about to leave, what should you do with those industries, young grandma?" Rue Xiang asked, it's a grain shop barbecue restaurant again, and it's a farm, and you can't take it with you if you want to go.

Xi Hongdou was not ambiguous, and said directly: "Just hand it over to the shopkeeper directly." "The emperor's holy decree asked Xiao Zhi to hand over and then set off, and she should have sent an official, and she still has some time to deal with this side of the matter.

Xi Hongdou hurriedly went out, and there was no one at the grain store, so after opening the door, he wrote a notice and posted it out, asking for the shopkeeper and the bookkeeper. There is a shopkeeper at the barbecue restaurant, and the account book is also handed over to the new accountant, as for the farm, there is Sanda, and there are people on the Hui side to deal with, so she basically doesn't have to worry about anything, but in the end, she went to talk about it one by one.

The shopkeeper of the barbecue restaurant accepted it relatively quickly, and Sanda was curious about what to do with the monthly salary, so Xi Hongdou finally decided to mail the silver ticket by mail every month. Finally, there is the matter of Sister-in-law Liu's side, she is going to take Sister-in-law Liu back to Beijing.

Sister-in-law Liu didn't expect Xi Hongdou to come to the door on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and thought that Xi Hongdou wanted to open a shop in advance, but only later did she know that Xi Hongdou had to leave his home in Lihong County.

"Sister-in-law, will you come with me?" Xi Hongdou told all the causes and consequences, and waited for Sister-in-law Liu to answer.
