Time is like water, and more than a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

Counting from the day everyone left Beijing, it was exactly two years.

In the past two years, Lian Fuzi has trained 5,000 garrison soldiers into elite soldiers.

In the past two years, Sheng Hong secretly recruited 50,000 private soldiers, and they practiced non-relentingly.

In the past two years, there have been more and more young officials in Shudi, and the governance of the county has been quite effective. Among them, Nan'an County paid more than 30% of the tax in two years. The population of Guiping County has increased, and the middle and lower counties have changed to upper counties. Weiyuan County's annual evaluation is also excellent. Unconsciously, the talents under the command of the King of Shu are also increasing day by day. No one can ignore it.

In the past two years, Xie Mingxi and others have done countless things.

Gu's academies have opened all over Shu, adding up to more than ten academies. There are hundreds of girls in each college. This kind of atmosphere has also greatly driven the literary style of Shudi.

Think about it, girls at the age of eight or nine can read and learn characters, and girls around the age of ten can read the Four Books and the Five Classics. If you have a son in the family, you don't want your son to be left behind, so no matter how frugal you are, you have to send your son to study in the academy. The number of children running around in the streets and alleys has been greatly reduced and is almost invisible.

The prosperity of the literary style is, of course, not an overnight thing.

However, for Shudi, the atmosphere has gradually formed, which is really gratifying.

There are four places in Ku's Nursing Home for abandoned and seriously ill girls. Gu's pharmacy has also opened several in more than a year, and there are several Gu's women's red workshops.

The pharmacy workshop specializes in recruiting young women, the wages are sufficient, and it is the private property of the princess of Shu, so no one dares to bully each other. Because of this, the men in ordinary people's homes no longer confine their wives at home, and are quite willing to let their wives go out to earn a salary and come back.

The officials and daughters of Shu have followed the example of the princess of Shu. In the past year or so, there have been more and more similar shops or businesses. It also quickly formed a kind of atmosphere.

It has become a common thing for women to walk the streets in a hurry.

Lin Weiwei Yan Zhenzhen and Qin Sixing have lived in the Shu Mansion for more than a year, and they are busy with Xie Mingxi every day, each with their own division of labor, each with their own responsibilities, and their days are busy and fulfilling.

The children have also grown up a lot in the blink of an eye.

……

"Mother! Mother! ”

The crisp and clear girl's voice sounded, and soon arrived at Xie Mingxi's side.

This girl was born with picturesque eyebrows, white and clean water, and a pair of big black eyes that are particularly clever. She combed her hair with a cute bag and wore a delicate dress in bright red.

Xie Mingxi, who was looking down at the accounts, looked over with a smile, and stroked Ah Luo's bag with his hand: "Ah Luo, why are you alone?" What about them? ”

Ah Luo was born in Layue, and she is four years old this year, but she is not yet three years old. However, she has a much better appetite and is taller than girls of her age.

As soon as Ah Luo heard Brother You'er's name, she immediately raised her mouth: "I won't play with him in the future." ”

In this case, Arlo always has to say it every few days.

Xie Mingxi smiled dumbly, put down the account book, hugged Ah Luo to his lap, and coaxed softly: "Ah Luo, don't be angry. Tell my mother quickly, why are you and Brother You'er having an awkward relationship? ”

Ah Luo is still young in the end, although she is articulate, she can't tell what happened. Only puffed out a petal-like mouth and got angry: "Anyway, I don't like Brother You anymore!" ”

Xie Mingxi was amused and chuckled, and called Xiang Hui over: "What the hell is going on?" ”

From Yu Fuyu to serving Xie Mingxi closely, Xiang Hui mostly follows behind A Luo every day. What happened a moment ago, Xiang Hui naturally knew very well, and reported with a smile: "Young Master Bao and Young Master You were playing and pushed Young Master You. Young Master You was accidentally pushed and fell, and the little county lord was angry, so he beat Young Master Bao. The youngest, Miss Qing, was scared and cried. Young Master You grabbed the little county lord and interceded for Young Master Bao. The little county lord is annoyed! ”

Xie Mingxi: "......"

These four children have different tempers.

Ah Luo is smart, the most righteous, and has the biggest temper.

Brother You'er is a little older, smart and quiet, and has the most gentle temperament.

Xiao Baoer is naughty and active, jumping up and down all day long, and there is no quiet moment.

Sister Qing is the youngest and the most squeamish, crying at every turn.

The four children are inseparable all day long, and when they are good, they want to eat and live together. It's just that there are times when children are frictional and angry with each other. Something like this is going to happen every few days.

Xie Mingxi couldn't help laughing, hugged Ah Luo and reasoned carefully: "Ah Luo, my mother knows that you are a kind heart, and she is angry for Brother You'er." It's just that Xiao Bao'er is naughty by nature, and she didn't intend to make Brother You wrestle. Brother You didn't mind, so she wasn't angry. Brother You'er is magnanimous, you should be happy to have such a good friend. Why are you angry with your brother? ”

Ah Luo understands everything, but she can't express it in her mouth. After holding it for a long time, I held back a sentence: "In the future, I don't care if he is beaten." ”

Fairy tales are really funny and ridiculous.

Xie Mingxi smiled secretly in his heart, but he responded with a serious face: "Okay, if someone beats Brother You in the future, don't worry about it." ”

Ah Luo was unhappy again, pouting and continuing to get angry.

……

"Ah Luo, don't be angry, I'll bring Brother You'er to accompany you." Lin's slightly familiar voice sounded.

Xie Mingxi looked up with a smile, Lin Wei's smiling face came into view, and the boy in his right hand was slightly thin, with fair skin, and handsome eyebrows and eyes, it was Brother You'er.

As soon as Ah Luo saw Brother You'er, she reflexively broke free from her mother's arms and ran to Brother You'er. Before Ah Luo could open her mouth to speak, she suddenly remembered that she was still angry. He straightened his face again and turned his head back to Xie Mingxi's side.

Brother You hurriedly caught up and pulled Ah Luo's sleeve to apologize: "Sister Ah Luo, I was wrong just now, don't be angry." ”

Arlo snorted heavily and twisted her head to the side.

Brother You hurriedly walked over and grabbed Ah Luo's other sleeve: "Don't be angry. ”

Arlo rolled her eyes and looked up at the sky.

Brother You and A Luo are generally tall and short, and when A Luo raised his head, Brother You had to stand on tiptoe and try his best to look at A Luo: "Sister A Luo, don't be angry with me." ”

Xie Mingxi couldn't help laughing, and Lin Weiwei couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Qin Siyun came with Xiao Bao'er, and Yan Zhenzhen came with Sister Qing'er.

Sister Qing'er's tears were still hanging in the corners of her eyes, hiding in her mother's arms, crying softly. Yan Zhenzhen had to whisper to coax Sister Qing first.

Xiao Bao'er was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and Xiao is like her father Chen Zhan. The monkey's tree-like temper probably followed his father. I was also uneasy when my mother twisted my ears, and shouted vigorously: "Mother beat me!" Daddy, help! ”

The gentle and good-tempered Qin Siyun was tossed by his son's naughtiness, and said hatefully: "Tomorrow, I will let someone send you to Weiyuan County!" Let you live with your father! ”
