Chapter 221: Becoming a Father
"Still not out yet? Still not out yet? Why don't I go in and have a look......"
"No, no, absolutely not, how can a man go in when a woman gives birth?" Xiangcheng and the others hurriedly grabbed Xiao Rui.
Wei Zheng scolded: "Boy, can you stop going in circles?" The old man who turned his head is big! ”
"Father-in-law, I'm not worried about Yanran." Xiao Rui said worriedly.
"Do you think the old man is not worried? Does the turnable circle work? There should be calm in every big event! Gentleman Taishan collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged......"
Xiao Yu next to him asked in a low voice: "Brother Xuancheng, when Ling Lang was born, did you have the same color?" ”
Wei Zheng's son Wei Shuyu hurriedly replied: "I know, I know, my father almost rushed into the delivery room. ”
Wei Zheng kicked over, "Nonsense, how did you know what happened when you were born?" ”
"Listen to my mother."
……
Old Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled, beckoning Xiao Rui to sit down, "Zangfeng, don't be impatient, there are Doctor Sun, Daochang Ge, and you are here, nothing can happen." Is the child's name ready? ”
Xiao Rui squeezed out a smile embarrassedly, "You always know that my name is average, so I asked my father to name it." ”
Daddy Xiao Yu proudly introduced: "Rui'er's name belongs to gold, and it is born according to the five elements, so the next generation should take water as the name, and after thinking about it, it can be used by boys and girls." ”
Li Yuan stroked his palms and praised, "Good! The world is safe, very good! ”
At this moment, there was a heart-rending cry of pain in the room, and then a new sound of a baby wah-wah.
The crowd outside cheered, "Born, born......"
"Is it a man or a woman? Open the door and let me in! Xiao Rui tapped on the door.
Sun Simiao shouted: "Don't shout, Lao Dao has already been diagnosed, boy." ”
…… Master, can't you let me have a surprise to be a father?
After a while, the house was cleaned up, the door opened, and the midwife said with a smile: "Congratulations to Master Hou, it's a son." ”
"Good, good, reward, reward...... Yanran, how are you? Xiao Rui rushed in directly.
Seeing this scene, Wei Zheng's face looked a little better, everyone present cared about the children, men and women, and he was the only one who was worried about his daughter's safety. Fortunately, Xiao Rui, this kid, has a conscience and knows how to ask adults.
"Wow, the baby was born like this, it looks so ugly, wrinkled, and not good-looking at all." Others are praising newborns like Xiao Rui, but Xiao Changle told the truth.
Everyone looked down at her in surprise, only to see her put her head on her sister Xiangcheng's belly, and whispered: "Hey, the baby who hasn't come out yet, you must look better, otherwise my aunt will dislike it." ”
Burst......
It directly amused everyone.
Xiangcheng pulled his sister and said, "Whoever is born is like this, and you are the same." It's good to be long, I don't believe you can come and see it tomorrow. ”
Xiao Changle was curious: "Really? It's amazing. Sister Yanran, shall I sleep with you tonight? I want to see how babies look good. ”
Xiangcheng took this naughty sister away, and he didn't know what crooked idea he was going to come up with for a while.
Everyone dispersed, and Xiao Yu began to post posts to prepare for the child's full moon banquet.
In the room, Xiao Rui personally took care of Wei Yanran, looking at the mother and son tenderly, Xiao Rui felt different in this world for the first time. Maybe from this moment on, it can be regarded as truly integrated into this Datang.
"Husband, will it be unlucky for us to give birth to a child before we get married?" Wei Yanran asked worriedly.
Xiao Rui sat at the head of the bed and gently wiped his wife's face, "Silly words, it is the most auspicious to be able to keep the mother and son safe." Marriage is just a formality, who dares to say anything? What happened to having a child out of wedlock? I don't believe anyone dares to chew my Xiao Rui's tongue! When Xiangcheng also gives birth to a child, we will get married together, and then we will take the children to the wedding together. ”
"Hahahaha, it's interesting to think about, I should be the first to get married with a child, maybe I can leave a name in history."
Wei Yanran could hear that this was deliberately comforting her, and smiled sweetly, she didn't worry about her reputation, but she was afraid of bringing a bad influence to her husband.
The next day, the chamberlain Lao Gao came to give gifts on behalf of the emperor.
Xiao Rui saw that Lao Gao's purpose was not pure, so he left him in private, "Say, is there something Your Majesty has ordered?" ”
Lao Gao smiled, "Master Pony is wise, it's indeed a little troublesome." The scholar you recommended, Liu Jinyuan, was deliberately framed during the imperial examination, kicked out of the examination room, and was disqualified from taking the examination. ”
"Oh? It's coming at me! Which of the five surnames and seven looks? Or is it collusion? Xiao Rui's eyes were slightly cold.
Lao Gao said: "It was the people of the Boling Cui clan who made the execution, but he must be the only one behind it. ”
Xiao Rui snorted coldly: "What? Seeing that I am grounded, do you think I am a bully? ”
Lao Gao hurriedly persuaded: "Master Ma is angry." This case has been taken over by Yushitai, and Liu Renliang is personally responsible. Your Majesty means that you can finally take a break and spend time with your family without having to worry about these little things. Of course, I also want to take the opportunity to test it to see how many reliable talents I have in Datang. ”
Stopped, Xiao Rui asked a question, "Lao Gao, people say that you are the minister of the Tang Dynasty, according to your opinion, how can you break the bad habit of throwing papers in the imperial examination?" ”
Lao Gao said modestly: "Don't dare, how dare slaves and maids discuss national politics?" Since the master of the horse is taking the school, the slave can only try to guess. The root of the imperial examination paper is that the examiners, examiners, auditors, and selection officials of the imperial examination are all from families. This group of people is too selfish, putting their family before their country. Therefore, when selecting talents, we will select candidates who are related to them. That's why there is a bad habit of throwing papers. ”
"If you want to cut off this, unless you replace all these people in one round and replace them with people loyal to Your Majesty in the court, so as to ensure that when selecting talents, you will be fair for the country."
"The problem is, we don't have that much talent available. Eighty percent of the literate people in the Tang Dynasty have a relationship with the family, otherwise they would not have been responsible for the imperial examination. ”
"This matter is a difficult problem that Your Majesty thinks about day and night, Master Horse, you are a celestial Wenqu star, and the slave believes that you will definitely be able to come up with a way to solve it."
Xiao Rui sighed: "What you said is right. The collection of books in the world is everyone's family education, and it is an extravagant hope for the people to read and write, let alone sign up for the imperial examination. The people say that I am an immortal, but I am just a mortal, and I can't do anything about it. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Rui said: "Unless you open a school, and then slowly implement it throughout the country, the imperial court will cultivate reading talents by itself." Merely...... It's too hard. ”
"Go back and reply to Your Majesty, give me two talents, civil officials with the talent of the prime minister, young is the best, and we will come up with a plan to break the situation within a year. I'm afraid that this matter will take ten or twenty years, and I can't rush it. ”
Lao Gao happily accepted the order, confessed and left.
Xiao Rui glanced at the direction of Chang'an City and muttered in a low voice: "Liu Renliang, if you can make a noise this time, the position of Imperial Doctor will be yours in the future." ”
Just when Xiao Rui was celebrating his noble son in the entire Xiaojiazhuang, in an inn on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, several foreign merchants dressed in ordinary clothes lived in a northeast accent. This group of people goes out early and returns late every day, seemingly busy with business, but in fact they are plotting something.
