Cui Hao accompanied Zilan to a night market, and Zilan bought a bunch of messy things, most of which were small toys to take back for the children to play with.

It was late at night when she returned to the house, but Zilan was still very excited, pulling Cui Hao to talk.

"Husband, will you accompany me to paint these days? I've painted several different paintings, and I'd like you to give me a counsel. ”

"Okay, I'll accompany you, Lan'er, it's late at night, it's time to sleep."

Cui Hao pulled her to lie down, buried his head in her neck socket and absorbed the fragrance of her body.

Zilan giggled, hugged him and touched his head, giving him smooth hair.

"Lan'er, you'll always be with me, right?"

Cui Hao hugged her and whispered, kissing her eyebrows, gentle and affectionate.

"Of course, I will always accompany you until we are gray-haired, I still have to watch my son get married, and I have to bring grandchildren to my children, I still want to go out with you to see the great rivers and mountains, don't you want to?"

"Of course, as long as you want to do it, I am willing to accompany you."

Cui Hao muttered in a muffled voice.

"Fool, I've always been by your side, don't you think I'm annoyed?"

Zilan raised her voice.

"Why, I annoy you a lot of the time, don't you wronged people."

Cui Hao raised his head and took off her clothes, and her hands and feet were neat.

"Well, that's pretty much it, good, let's sleep, I'm sleepy."

Zilan patted him on the head, coaxing him like a son.

Cui Hao stared at her, suddenly knocked her down, and looked at her voice a little hoarse, "I'll let you know who should be well-behaved." ”

"Hmm, hahaha!"

The sound of pleasant frolic came from the inner room, and Agarwood and the others smiled slightly, guarded the door, yawned and went to sleep.

The Chinese New Year is the happiest time for Zilan, because Cui Hao is also free, and she can always accompany her and walk around the joint alley.

In order to investigate the complete situation of the river, take advantage of these days to be idle and idle, on the one hand, to collect wind and paint, on the other hand, you can also go to see the situation of the river, record it so that you can send people to dig through, to avoid the river silting up, causing floods.

When I have free time, I will accompany her to listen to books, drink tea and chat, and draw a picture with her, which is especially beautiful.

The letters of the two sons also arrived, one of them was written separately, Cui Hao and the two sons communicated in a different way, and wrote separate letters to Brother Lu and Brother Ling respectively, so that they could know their specific situation.

This method is still very effective, the two children are different in age, and their needs and ideas are different, Brother Ling is more childish, and Brother Ling has begun to gradually enter the maturity period, and there are more confusions and ideas in his heart.

The communication between the father and son has become smoother and smoother, and they talk freely like friends, which has a lot to do with the distance between the two places and the need not to meet, and the son will inevitably have pressure when he sees his father, but if he is facing a letter paper, the pressure is much less.

Brother Lu can go to the children's exam in the spring, and the old lady has already agreed, and he may continue to stay at home to study after the exam, and the old lady will teach him personally.

Brother Luan's talent is very high, and he has a lot of perseverance, and he is also very hardworking, the old lady appreciates it very much, and decides to use his later years to cultivate and guide his three grandsons, mainly to cultivate Brother Luan, at present, he needs to pay attention to it, Brother Ling and Brother Xin because of their young relationship, it is not a big problem for anyone to teach, and the elders in the family are also taking care of them.

Knowing that his son is all right, and he has never let go of his studies, Zilan is also much more down-to-earth.

She and Cui Hao stayed in Jiangnan, and their main work was the salt tax, as well as the detailed rules of Jinyiwei, which needed to be refined.

After the fifteenth day of spring, the daily work continued to be carried out, and after two cleanings, the Jiangnan officialdom was obviously much clearer.

These are not what Zilan needs to pay attention to, and now she has found a new direction, that is, after sorting out the river problems in the south of the Yangtze River, she plans to do a detailed investigation, hoping to find someone to draw it, and then hand it over to the emperor, maybe it can help the officials who build the river embankment, after all, it is closely related to the people.

She believes that these small details of the river will also play a vital role, and it may not be necessary to clean up, although to prove her point of view right, evidence must be presented.

The matter of Jinyiwei continued to be carried out, and some problems also leaked out, and after the rectification, the efficiency was obviously much higher, the investigation of details was more keen, and the training of secret agents also had new results.

Every move of the officials and salt merchants of each household can get all the information almost the next day.

Jiangnan's net has been woven, and all that remains is to see how he plays his role.

At this point, Zilan's task is basically completed, and the remaining two years are enough to monitor the key issues so as not to make mistakes and not to cause too many problems.

She is now focusing on the river, because the more she understands this by doing good deeds, the more she feels that doing it well is very beneficial to the people.

She contributed people and money, found someone to dig the river by herself, and bought sand and gravel for those that needed to be repaired and came back to repair it.

This took a long time, and at the beginning, there were many officials and wives who followed her, but later because the investment of money gradually increased, everyone began to retreat, and she did not stop or blame, after all, her personal ability is limited, and it is not strange that she can't do it.

Only Mrs. Zhang, Master Li, and the principal wife of Jinyiwei still followed closely, and when they had no money, they found someone to help, and even donated the rice and grain from the grange to cook for the workers, helping Zilan as much as they could.

These were all seen by her and silently recorded, and in the future, she would become her husband's evaluation and put it on the emperor's desk.

The longer you persist, the more your character will be reflected, and the future returns will naturally be very high.

In the second year, instead of getting the profits from Jiangnan Industry, she posted a lot of money to control the river problem. Among them, Ziyan and Lingyun also posted money and people to actively help them.

The more you do about the river, the more problems there are, and you can only repair and manage them in the same way.

Cui Hao helped her a lot in this process, and found all the people who could be contacted to help her do it together, the strength of more people can be greater, even if it is just a temporary help, it is much stronger than doing it slowly alone.

In the third year, the river management had initial results, in fact, they had limited power and only made a small part of the river, but the effect was really good.

This attracted the attention of relevant officials, and the upper fold commended Cui Hao, Zilan and Ziyan.

Truthfully state their affairs and summarize their achievements, thinking that there is something to learn.

This time Cui Hao and Zilan were once again praised by the court, and Ziyan was praised together, the emperor felt honored, no matter where he went, what he did, he could do a very good job to make him have a long face.
