Chapter 119: Ten Years
No matter what the relationship between Zhao Jiao and the crown princess is, life still has to go on.
After the government of the court, after the Chang family father and son kept recruiting talents, the personnel were basically replenished in place, and the entire court finally ran smoothly like a machine.
And Chang Zai is no longer trying to catch Cai Da to become a strong man.
In the fourth year of Yuan Qian, the imperial examination of the Rong Dynasty officially appeared. Since then, the seven products of talent and the four products of people have become history.
In the fifth year of Yuan Qian, in the expectation of his family, Changguo Mansion ushered in a daughter-Cai Lehui.
In the sixth year of Yuan Qian, the imperial treasury that had been poor for hundreds of years was finally abundant, and the pockets of the Chang family father and son were full of money, and their hearts were completely steady.
In the ninth year of Yuan Qian, the twelve-year-old Cai Lesheng fell for Xiucai, and the Changguo Mansion once again ushered in a son-Cai Lerui, who was also a close disciple of Yuan Lao and a sage of calligraphy and painting in later generations.
In the twelfth year of Yuan Qian, fifteen-year-old Cai Lesheng won the lift, and Cai Lezhen, who was three years younger than him, became a child after martial arts.
Cai Dacheng had slowly faded out of the court at this time, and Chang Zai had also retained his previous efforts to acquiesce later.
As the saying goes, life is rare for 70 years, and it is the most joyful event worth celebrating.
The ninth day of November is the seventieth birthday of Yuan Lao, and the low-key Yuan family rarely advertises it widely and holds a birthday banquet.
On the day of his birthday, Cai Dacheng's family of seven came.
The two brothers took Bao'er and Brother Zhen to the front yard, while Zhao Jiao took her daughter Hui Niangzi and youngest son Rui Ge'er to the backyard.
Because of his father's 70th birthday, Yuan Yutang, the third son who worked in other places, also took leave in advance and came back to celebrate his father's birthday.
At this time, he heard that Grandpa Guo had arrived, and hurried to the front yard to greet him.
Yuan Lao's four sons, the eldest son Yuan Yushan is already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.
With a belly of knowledge, he has won the true inheritance of his father, but he has been a person who only loves sage books since he was a child, and he usually ignores things outside the window.
However, as the breadwinner of the family, he still knows that he has to take on the responsibility of providing for his family.
So after the middle lift, he opened a museum with a side courtyard in his house.
The library he opened was not large, and the master and his brother Yuan Yubai were at most more than 30 students.
The second son, Yuan Yubai, is forty-eight years old this year, and he is a Jinshi in the previous dynasty, and he is still a rare Tanhua, Jinshi and first.
But he was too upright, dissatisfied with the dim anger of the court at that time and resigned, and after returning home, he went to the school opened by his brother to serve as a master.
Although the later emperor of the Chen Dynasty also sent people to invite his father and him out of the mountain many times, they were all politely refused.
Father and son are not optimistic about Emperor Chen Jiang's personality, and they can regard the benefactor who saved their lives several times as a thorn in their side, how can they rest assured that they can serve such a villain?
Since then, he has completely put aside his career and become a teacher with peace of mind.
The third son, Yuan Yutang, is forty-three years old this year, and his personality is much more sleek than that of his second brother.
Under the protection of Yuan Lao and his classmates in the same year, he devoted himself to doing a lot of practical things for the people.
Now the official luck enjoys the pass, and he serves as the inspector of Jiangnan Province, and he is a three-product.
The fourth Yuan Yu Tan is the youngest, thirty-nine years old, does not love poetry and books, does not love beauties, only loves to serve flowers and plants, is knowledgeable, and rarely shows his talent outside except for his best friends.
After completing his father's minimum requirements, he put down the book of saints and went into the study of his flowers and trees.
At this time, the four sons brought their grandchildren to welcome the guests.
At this time, Yuan Lao was wearing a longevity wedding dress with a red blessing and longevity pattern, sitting on the Taishi chair, and the long case on the side was full of longevity peaches, smiling and enjoying everyone's birthday and blessings.
The two Bao'er brothers stepped forward to kowtow to their birthdays, and then stood on the left hand side of Yuan Lao, waiting with the grandson of the Yuan family on the right hand side to entertain the guests.
Besides, Zhao Jiao led a pair of children into the backyard hall, as far as the eye could see, there were crowds of people everywhere, and she estimated that all her relatives and friends could come
At this time, in the hall, the clothes are fragrant and the temples are around, and the beads are surrounded by greenery, and there is a good group of ladies celebrating the picture.
Because of Zhao Jiao's high status, except for a few people present, the rest of the people stood up to greet her.
Old Madam Yuan is also dressed quite heavily today, with a vermilion auspicious cloud robe and brocade dress, swaying with a red red tassel, smiling, and looking graceful and luxurious.
After the ceremony, everyone sat down one after another, and Hui Niangzi was picked up by the ladies of the Yuan family to play.
This is the first time that Mrs. Yuan has seen the legendary Duchess of Changguo.
The Duchess of the country looked very young, with a delicate face and a light posture, and she nodded in her twenties, no one thought that she would have such a big son.
As for her behavior, Mrs. Yuan San is not a company, but for the sake of her husband's career, she must be in a hurry to deal with her.
If there is no Chang Guogong, it is estimated that their family is still spending money outside the customs now.
If it weren't for his promotion, it is estimated that Master Yuan San would still be hovering in the fourth-rank official position, and it would be impossible to get the fat difference in that place in Jiangnan Province.
The fourth grade and the third grade, although there is only one grade, but it is like a moat.
Sanpin is a feudal official, who can be transferred to the court at any time to listen to errands, and the opportunity for promotion is just around the corner.
And Sipin is only a local official, unless he has a strong background, he can generally only linger in the local area for life.
At this time, she asked Bao'er and her brother Zhen about her homework with a smile, chatted with Zhao Jiao about the daily life of Hui Niangzi and Brother Rui, cared about Zhao Jiao's body, and consulted her about the secrets of maintenance.
For these innocuous flatteries, Zhao Jiao has always responded politely and politely, anyway, it is not a big deal except to say a few more words.
Yuan Lao has always been grateful for his son's cultivation, Zhao Jiao has always been very grateful, and Cai Dacheng's gratitude is the return of using the power in his hands without a trace, but Yuan Lao has already become a refiner, how can he not understand?
Brother Rui couldn't sit still for a long time, and he was very impatient listening to the adults, so he made Zhao Jiao want to go out to play.
Zhao Jiao usually can't control him, maybe Cai Dacheng stays at home for a long time and takes care of the children a lot, and they are all taken care of very wildly, especially this kid, who can't sit still like a nail on the stool.
She had no choice, so she had to find a personal mother-in-law to take the child out to play, but if she couldn't do it, she sent it to the outer courtyard and handed it over to Cai Dacheng.
By the time Zhao Jiao finished talking about it, it was already an hour later.
When I was about to enter the table, I didn't see my youngest son coming, and I was about to send someone to look for it, but a mother-in-law came from the front yard, saying that Brother Rui had been taken by my mother-in-law to the outer courtyard to find Grandpa Guo, so that she could dine with peace of mind.
Zhao Jiao was relieved at this time, and happily finished the birthday banquet before returning it.
As soon as she got into the car, Mama Lan walked in and told her what had happened but she didn't know.
