When I got home, the Zhang family's house was cleaned. As soon as Gao Yong saw someone coming back, he rushed to catch up.

"Madame, are you back?" Gao Yong stood next to the carriage and saw Zhang Li, Zhang Tongtong and Zhang Dandan coming down from the carriage, and there was no one after that.

"Where's the owner?" Gao Yong asked thoughtlessly.

"My sister-in-law is still in the city, and I won't come back until a while." Zhang Dandan said sweetly.

Gao Yong's expression was lonely for a moment.

"Thank you for your hard work to clean up your home." Zhang Li saw the clean and tidy yard and said with a smile.

"That's what we should do, ma'am, come into the house." Gao Yong and the others said embarrassedly.

When night fell, a man entered the village, although he was dressed in coarse linen, but he could still see that it was the man who rescued Liu Meiniang in the county town one day.

The man went straight to the door of the old house before the Zhang family, and saw that there were seven or eight people coming in and out of the yard, and the man was a little confused.

He didn't know any of them.

The man lightly climbed over the fence yard, only to see clearly that the house was no longer the thatched house he remembered, but had been replaced by a brick house, and the furnishings inside were also new. It's that the people who live in it are not the same people who used to be.

A bad premonition rose in the man's heart.

Turning his head and looking around, I don't know when there was a magnificent courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

The man dodged and came to the wall of the courtyard, which was brightly lit, but there was no human figure to be seen.

Suddenly, one of the courtyard doors opened and a little girl jumped out and ran out.

"Second brother, second brother, you can help me see the meaning of this sentence, I don't understand." The little girl ran into another yard with a book in her hand. When the man saw the little girl, his pupils dilated slightly.

"Wait, I'll pour the footwater and come back to you." A teenager came out of the house with a basin.

The man looked at the young man who had grown a lot taller, and his eyes were a little sour.

Then I heard the boy explain the meaning of the book to the little girl in a serious way.

"Second brother, I understand, hehe, what about this sentence?" Zhang Dandan continued to ask, but this time Zhang Jihan stopped asking. Zhang Jihan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and he didn't know how to explain to Zhang Tongtong.

"The meaning of that sentence is that even if I live in a simple house, as long as I have ambitions and ideals in my heart, I will not feel that this house is shabby." Another voice sounded, and a slightly older girl also came to Zhang Jihan's house.

"Wow, third sister, you're so amazing." The little girl clapped her hands and applauded.

"If you read the book well, you will understand it in the future." The slightly older girl touched the little girl's head and said.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to sleep and rest early." The boy urged his two younger sisters out of the house.

That boy and girl are Zhang Jihan, Zhang Tongtong, and Zhang Dandan, brothers and sisters.

Liu Meiniang has been insisting on teaching several children to read and write, as long as she has free time, she will teach them, read books, memorize poems, and give them Chinese pinyin.

The three children also work very hard, and after each study, they will review very seriously, so now even the youngest Zhang Dandan can read some simple books.

Among the three children, Zhang Tongtong is the best learner, Zhang Tongtong is very smart, Liu Meiniang found out when she taught a few children, Zhang Tongtong is very good at drawing inferences, as long as Liu Meiniang says a problem, Zhang Tongtong can immediately get along with the corresponding solution.

In order to make the three children of the Zhang family develop better, Liu Meiniang also taught them mathematics.

Taught them Arabic numerals, although in this era, Arabic numerals look a little different, but they are indeed much more convenient than one, two, three.

The children are very receptive, and they learn to use Arabic numerals when they are happy, and they are also familiar with the ninety-nine multiplication table.

It's much faster than anyone else in arithmetic.

The ledgers in Liu Meiniang's supermarket are made in two copies, one written in Arabic numerals and the other in Chinese. In case the government comes to check the accounts.

Zhang Jihan seriously explained to Zhang Dandan what she couldn't understand, and Zhang Dandan cheered and hugged the book and went back to the room. Zhang Jihan also closed the door.

The man who climbed on the wall had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Seeing that the Zhang family was doing so well, the man felt a little more relieved.

Finally, seeing that the lights in the house were extinguished, the man crept down the wall and into the courtyard without alarming anyone.

But as soon as the man landed, his face was a little unsightly, the two big black dogs in front of him sat in a row, staring at him directly, there was still green light in his eyes, the man was not moving, not moving, and the two big black dogs were in a stalemate for a long time.

Until the man's feet were numb, one of the big black dogs snorted, and seemed to disdain to leave.

Another big black dog followed suit. The man standing in the courtyard couldn't stop crying or laughing.

Following his previous memories, the man found a small courtyard that had not been lit up, and opened the door to enter.

Through the delicate moonlight, you can see the furnishings in the house clearly.

This is clearly a woman's boudoir, the room is spotless, with pale pink embroidered sheets and curtains, which makes the man unnatural for a moment.

The man walked to the side of the bed and patted his coat before sitting down cautiously.

Fortunately, I washed up and changed into new clothes when I stayed at the guest house last night, so the man was not even more cramped.

The bed was very soft, the sheets and quilts were covered with silk, the man took off his coat and lay down, not daring to move, suddenly, the man accidentally reached into the quilt and touched something, the man pulled it out and saw that it was a belly pocket.

The man's face turned red in an instant, and he quickly put his belly pocket back in its original position.

Lie down obediently on your side.

Liu Meiniang has a habit when she sleeps, that is, she likes to be naked. sleep, and no one usually comes in her room, Liu Meiniang didn't have time to clean up the small clothes she changed when she left last time, so she folded them and put them under the quilt. So as soon as the man reached out and touched it.

The man thought about the three brothers and sisters Zhang Jihan he had just seen, they all seemed to be doing well now, and the man also felt very relieved, and slowly closed his eyes.

The man is Zhang Jirin.

Before he went to join the army, Zhang Jilin did not die, when he was recalled to the barracks for the second time, he discovered a secret, those rebels were all the hands of Xiao Yiyong, the prince of Chaochun.

Xiao Yiyong is the younger brother of the current emperor, ranking eleventh.

The current emperor Xiao Yichen ascended the throne at the age of 20 and was called Changping. Standing out from the many princes, it can be regarded as stepping on the corpse to ascend to the throne, Wen Taowu is not a problem, especially the power and intelligence. Ten years after ascending the throne, Daqi got better and better under his rule, and the number of people who starved to death gradually decreased. After Xiao Yichen took the throne, one of his greatest achievements was the establishment of a system of three provinces and six ministries, which made all aspects of Daqi's laws and regulations more standardized, and the efficiency of the government and the opposition became higher and higher.

Xiao Yichen had almost no mediocre measures during his reign, if it was really calculated, that is, Xiao Yichen was very favored by a concubine in the harem, not only staying in the concubine's womb at night, but also sealing the concubine as a concubine, second only to the queen in terms of power status.

The concubine is indeed worthy of this title, and those who have seen her say that her appearance is overwhelming, just like the Nine Heavens Xuannu descending to the earth. has a noble temperament, and it is almost impossible to find a woman who is better looking than the concubine.

Of course, Zhang Jirin has never seen the concubine, because in the sixth year of Emperor Changping's accession to the throne, the concubine died of illness.

Although Emperor Changping did not do anything out of the ordinary for the time being when he favored the concubine, nor did he become a mediocre emperor because of the concubine, but after a long time, Emperor Changping only favored the concubine, how could the ministers of the court be indifferent, among them, many of their daughters were sent to the palace, in order to help them consolidate their power, if Emperor Changping's mind was only on the concubine. Didn't their daughter die in vain?

The main thing is that this concubine is not a Daqi clan, it was in the second year of Changping, when Xiao Yichen drove his own expedition. A woman brought back from southern Xinjiang.

At that time, no one cared, just thought it was a favorite woman that Xiao Yichen met when he traveled, after all, since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family, such a woman, Emperor Changping was favored for a period of time, but he didn't expect Emperor Changping to be favored for four years. If it weren't for the death of Concubine Rong, no one would dare to guarantee that Concubine Rongrong would not be so favored now.

Because of this, the concubine has become a thorn in the eyes of many people. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding all of a sudden, and they united as one to suppress the concubine.

However, the principle that things must be reversed is applicable at any time, and the more people in the court and the harem suppress and dump the concubine. The more Emperor Changping pampered the concubine.

There are even old ministers who forced each other to die, persuading Emperor Changping not to continue like this, Emperor Changping waved his hand directly and ignored it, probably meaning that you are about to enter the ground anyway, and I will not stop you if you want to die, but it is impossible for me to favor the concubine.

In those two years, the reputation of the concubine was loud for a while, and everyone said behind her back that the concubine was a disaster to the country and the people, but the concubine did not do anything too much because of her favor, which made the imperial history of the court want to appeal, but there is no way to attack

Fortunately, in the sixth year of Changping, the concubine died of illness, and the government and the opposition breathed a sigh of relief, and then wondered if they were too much, after all, the behavior of the concubine was not very excessive over the years, and she did not obstruct everyone's way to get promoted and make a fortune, but when people die, they die, and it is not good to say anything.

It is said that when the concubine died, Emperor Changping insisted on letting the concubine enter the imperial mausoleum, which is absolutely unprecedented, and there is no one who will come after, which dynasty and which generation, a concubine can enter the imperial mausoleum when she dies. The ministers of the court and the central government each admonished, but Emperor Changping still insisted on going his own way, and finally the concubine still entered the imperial mausoleum.
