Now I live in a courtyard full of greenery, lush trees to hide a lot of the heat from the roof, sleeping in the house at night, obviously a little more comfortable than living in the three-entry and four-entry houses before.

Tao Zhu also likes the new house now.

There are two tall persimmon trees in the yard where he and Li Qiao live, the two trees are very close to each other, and the green shade is as much as a room, not only can you sit under the trees to enjoy the shade, but you can also hang swings and hammocks on the trees.

Tao Zhu grew so big, it was the first time to play with the swing, this kind of toy is actually common in the countryside, but it is not his turn to play.

Later, I became a relative, and I was busy doing business, so I didn't think about it.

Whoever wants to be a daddy actually hangs the swing that he used to be greedy but never played with at home.

He loved it.

There is also a hammock, he also likes this too, the hammock he is using now is customized by Li Qiao to find a shop, wide and wide, after lying down, let Li Qiao gently push him, just feel it once he fell in love.

The two little cubs, including Li Xiaorui, also like these two persimmon trees, and after summer comes, they play under the trees every day.

The two cubs are more than two years old, and Li Qiao has already arranged homework for the two of them.

Every morning, Li Xiaorui sits under the persimmon tree and reads.

The two little cubs also sat under the tree, holding Li Qiao's customized picture album to read and write.

The two cubs have a strong learning ability, and Li Xiaorui's learning progress was among the best among his peers, but the memory of the two cubs is stronger than Li Xiaorui's, and now he is only a little more than two years old, and the words he knows are almost the same as when Li Xiaorui was more than three years old.

At this rate, after the summer, the two of them may be able to catch up with Li Xiaorui's progress.

The two little guys have such a strong learning ability, but Zheng Qianqian is envious.

Zheng Qianqian has always thought that Li Xiaorui is great, but he didn't expect the two little cubs to be even better, worthy of being his uncle's baby!

The baby in Zheng Qianqian's belly has been nine months, and it should be born next month, in order to make the baby in the belly better, when the three little ones study every day, he also sits on the side, so that the baby in the belly can listen.

In the future, even if this doll is not as good as Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, the two little fat friends, it will have to be the same as Li Xiaorui.

Li Xia also planned to do so, the baby in his belly was almost two months later than Zheng Qianqian, but it was better to edify it as soon as possible than not to edify it.

On this day, Li Qiao came home from work and entered the cross-courtyard from the corner gate - he was not so particular, anyway, he lived in the cross-courtyard now, so there was no need to go to the main gate.

However, when he entered the courtyard where he and Tao Zhu lived, he saw at a glance that Tao Zhu, Zheng Qianqian, and Li Xia were all sitting under the persimmon tree.

Tao Zhu is arm resting on the stone table to support his cheeks, his eyes drooping, and his eyebrows furrowed.

Zheng Qianqian's arms were wrapped around his heart, as if he was grinding his teeth, puffing out.

Li Xia held her cheeks with her hands and frowned.

And the three little ones are playing Kemari on the side, as cheerful as ever.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Qiao asked curiously as she walked towards the persimmon tree.

As soon as he spoke, he drew the attention of several people, and the three little ones ran towards him with a smile.

"Daddy!"

"Uncle Father!"

Tao Zhu also immediately got up from the stone bench, smiled and asked Li He, who was waiting on the side, to fetch a basin of water so that he could wash his face.

Li Qiao squatted down, hugged the three little guys one by one and kissed them, and then looked at Tao Zhu who was walking towards him: "What are you guys doing?" ”

Before Tao Zhu could speak, Li Xiaorui immediately opened his small mouth and said, "Uncle Shen is here today, and after he came, Uncle Zhu, Daddy, and Uncle Xia were all unhappy. ”

"That's ......"

Li Qiao showed a sudden appearance, and pinched Li Xiaorui's face with a smile: "Uncle and uncle understand, then Xiaorui will lead your two little uncles to play ball next, okay?" Uncle and father wanted to know what was going on. ”

"Good!"

Li Xiaorui responded crisply, then bent down, led a little uncle in one hand, and walked towards the ball under the persimmon tree.

The two little cubs were very well-behaved and followed with their little short legs.

Li Qiao looked at Tao Zhu at this time.

Tao Zhu exhaled lightly, pursed his lower lip, and then explained: "Brother Hua'er is not pregnant, but the Xu family is as a demon as always." ”

"Last night, the Xu family called Xu Ying to Xu's house for dinner, and wanted to get Xu Ying drunk and then arrange a concubine room for Xu Ying to cook raw rice."

Xu Ying saw through it at a glance, scolded the Xu family and left. But today, the Xu family took advantage of Xu Ying to go on an errand and ran to Brother Hua'er's house to talk nonsense, saying that Brother Hua couldn't serve Xu Ying after she was pregnant, so she should take the initiative to arrange a concubine room for Xu Ying, saying that Brother Hua was jealous and wanted to take a break. ”

"If you put it aside on weekdays, although Brother Hua is angry, he won't take it to heart. But now he is pregnant, his mood is changeable, and he has had severe morning sickness recently, and his little face has vomited no flesh. So he couldn't get by, and came to us in the afternoon to cry. ”

Tao Zhu said and sighed, the Xu family was too much.

But Xu Ying can't really treat the Xu family well, this kind of pain like cutting meat with a slow knife is really too torturous.

“…… Brother Hua did suffer. ”

Li Qiao was convinced.

The Xu family can indeed be a demon.

"I'll give the saint a fold tomorrow and propose to give some special official positions to women and little brothers."

"Is that possible?" Tao Zhu was a little worried.

Not to mention whether Sheng Hong will agree, in case Sheng Hong knows that Li Qiao will have this proposal because of the Xu family, will Sheng Hong's perception of Xu Ying deteriorate......

It's a family ugly.

Is Xu Ying willing Li Qiao to publicize it?

Li Qiao listened to Tao Zhu's worries and hesitated.

Yes, even if he didn't mention the Xu family at all, but in case Sheng Hongduo wanted to investigate casually, was he causing trouble for Xu Ying by doing so?

"Then I'll take it a long time. You've been going to accompany your brother a lot lately. He could only say to Tao Zhu like this.

"Okay." Tao Zhu also has this meaning.

Shen Hua wanted to buy a house in the east of the city, but the house in the east of the city was expensive, and Shen Hua had not decided on it for so long.

lived far away, and the number of meetings with Shen Hua was not as convenient as before, so that such an excessive thing happened, and Shen Hua only came over.

"I'll take a look at the house here, if there is a suitable one, I will buy it for Brother Hua first, and Brother Hua will slowly repay the silver later." He said.

Of course, Li Qiao has no opinion.

Even if he moved to the east of the city, Tao Zhu's social circle did not expand, he did not take the initiative to make friends with the families of other high-ranking officials, and when others made posts, he could push it.

Tao Zhu has just a few friends, and he hopes that Shen Hua can move to the east of the city more than Tao Zhu.

However, Tao Zhu does not have time to socialize.

His family's way of raising cubs is different from that of other big families, he has no nurse, and the two cubs do not have a separate maid and mother-in-law, everything is done by Tao Zhu himself.

Taking care of the two little ones occupied a lot of Tao Zhu's time, and the East Cross Courtyard next to it was still repairing the house, and with the end of the three princes, Tao Zhu immediately sent someone to take the poor father and son in the snow disaster last year to the hot pot shop.

In this small half a year, the father and son spent all their savings, and they had no fixed source of livelihood, so they all relied on washing clothes for people to earn a meager income.

But one of the father and son had a broken arm, and the other was too young to wash the clothes, and when the Taozhu faction passed, the father and son were already in arrears for a month's rent, and the landlord was chasing them.

If the people from the Tao Zhu faction were one step late, the father and son would have to sleep and beg for food.

took people to the hot pot shop, arranged work such as burning the fire, selecting vegetables and washing vegetables, and the father and son settled down.

But that's just the beginning.

There are many people who are as pitiful as this father and son, and there are many people who are even more pitiful than this father and son.

He wanted to help these people.

His family's shop has been openly recruiting outsiders for a while, and it may be that Li Qiao, a third-grade master, is in town, so the newly recruited employees are very diligent and well-behaved.

The staff is diligent and well-behaved, and the business is also good, so Tao Zhu wants to open a new shop again.

Only by opening more shops can we provide more jobs.

In this case, Tao Zhu has no mind and leisure to socialize.

Li Qiao is very supportive of Tao Zhu's idea, Tao Zhu likes to do what he does, isn't it just to open a new shop, and when he takes out the cement, it will definitely provide a lot of jobs.

Now there are not many days left before the deadline given by Sheng Hong, if the Seventh Prince wins, then his cement can be slowed down.

But if the Six Princes win, then cement must be born.

As the eldest prince said, no one can guarantee that they will win the remaining games, and they must go all out in each game.

Li Qiao thought that the deadline was still a few days, but summer came, and Sheng Hong couldn't stay in the palace.

Sheng Jun has already moved to Dingchun Garden, and he wants to move there too.

Therefore, after the morning court the next day, he did not convene the ministers to discuss the matter, but let several princes stay.

Anyway, it's not bad for a few days, and the deadline is set for today.

The Hall of Virtue.

Sheng Hong sat behind the imperial case, his arms resting on the table to support his body, and looked at the princes in front of him with a smile.

"Hao'er, Mi'er, Xiaoqi, do you three have a more brilliant idea than Xu'er? If not, then I will let the courtiers discuss Xu'er's plan tomorrow. ”

As soon as these words came out, the fourth prince was relieved and immediately shook his head, of course, he looked ashamed: "Father, the son is stupid, he really can't think of a more brilliant idea, this game, the son is powerless." ”

The second prince immediately followed, and he also looked ashamed: "Father, the son is more stupid than the fourth brother, don't be angry, the son really can't think of a better idea." ”

When Sheng Hong heard this, he didn't educate the two of them as before, nor did he show disappointment.

Because he didn't come up with a better idea himself during this time.

He couldn't even think of it, so there was no need to embarrass his two sons.

Therefore, he looked directly at the Seventh Prince.

"Xiao Qi, what about you?"

The Seventh Prince stepped forward unhurriedly and replied, "My son doesn't have a more subtle idea. However, the eldest brother was willing to take out all his family wealth and hire people to make adobe bricks, so that the official road of Dasheng could be built into a smooth adobe brick road. ”

"Big brother's financial resources are limited, but big brother has a lot of income every year, if it takes twenty or thirty years, big brother will definitely be able to complete this task."

"Although it takes a long time like this, the eldest brother is willing to scatter all his family wealth to settle the people of the world, and the eldest brother is poor, but Dasheng and the people can benefit."

"Father, what do you think of this method?"
