No regrets
Yu Zhi received another letter from her eldest son. After reading it, she couldn't help laughing and almost punched the wall with joy.
"Zhouzhou is too narrow-minded." Yu Zhi smiled and handed the letter to Wen Jiuxiao, "Zhouzhou said that his grandmother was very concerned about his marriage. Third Master, what are your plans for your son's marriage?
Anyway, what I mean is that other people’s opinions don’t matter, as long as Zhouzhou likes it. As for getting married, it should be after the age of eighteen, preferably after the weak crown."
Wen Jiuxiao read the letter and looked at Yu Zhi, "Why don't you pick one you like?"
To be honest, as a father-in-law, he doesn't care much about what kind of wife his son marries. But Yu Xiaozhi spends more time with his daughter-in-law at home. If his temperaments don't get along, or he has a too strong temper, give it to Yu.
What should I do if Xiaozhi feels angry?
Thinking of this, Wen Jiuxiao felt a little unhappy. As his son grew up, there were more troubles that came with it. He frowned and said, "Pick the one you like."
"No." Yu Zhi refused directly, "My daughter-in-law married me to live with my son, not with me. As long as my son likes her, that's fine."
The husband and wife have been together for so many years, how can she still not know what he is thinking? "If we get along, we should get along more, and if we don't get along, we should get along less. Third Master, you have to have some confidence in your son, and you have to have some confidence in me!"
Whether it was in Ancheng, Beijing, or Shanyun County, had she ever suffered a loss? No! Bullied her? Ha, it would be good if she didn't bully others.
"The most urgent thing is that Third Master should think about how to dispel mother's thoughts." Although he was temporarily stopped by Zhouzhou, Yu Zhi did not believe her mother-in-law at all. They were not in Beijing. If her mother-in-law insisted on setting a marriage for Zhouzhou
, she is a grandmother, and they are powerless even if they want to stop her.
Wen Jiuxiao understands his mother better. She failed to get her wish for his marriage at first, but now she is trying her best to choose a perfect match for her grandson. To be honest, Wen Jiuxiao's mother's perspective on people is a bit different.
Don't trust either.
When it came to his marriage, his mother looked at the candidates she thought were good...how should I put it? On the surface, those girls were well-educated, well-controlled, and generous. There was nothing wrong with them.
In fact, one has no opinion and is fooled around by the concubine at home without knowing it; one is extremely courageous and has an affair with a distant cousin who is taking advantage of the house; one is very harsh with his servants in private,
Even the maid next to him often beats and scolds her for no reason.
The uncle's cousin she admired was one thing on the outside and another behind the scenes. She was considerate and sensible in front of others, but behind the scenes... Wen Jiuxiao once saw her secretly stepping on the skirt of the concubine at home, causing her to fall down the stairs...
"I'm writing a letter... No, I'll go back to Beijing." The letter was too slow. He could have saved half the time if he had hurry up. Moreover, the letter couldn't explain clearly. He had to express his attitude in front of his mother:
Zhouzhou is his eldest son. If he marries a wife who will be his future clan wife, he must be careful.
As for his father, he is probably thinking the same as his mother, only thinking about choosing someone from a high school, but not considering whether it is suitable or not.
"Can local officials enter Beijing at will without an order?" Yu Zhi expressed doubts, "This is not the time to report on their duties!" As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Yu Zhi knew that he had made a fool.
After being exiled for eight years, Wen Jiuxiao got top marks in every inspection, but he was never promoted. It was as if the court had forgotten him. It is not accurate to say that the court had forgotten him. After all, the rewards he deserved were not
As a result, Wen Jiuxiao has not had the opportunity to go to Beijing to report on his work in the past eight years.
After all, there are generally only three situations in which local officials can come to Beijing: they are either promoted, transferred, or they can only be convicted in the past. Wen Jiuxiao does not take advantage of any of these three situations. Alas, the emperor is really stingy.
Wen Jiuxiao had already thought of a countermeasure, "Didn't the test planting of sweet potatoes brought back from overseas be successful? This is a high-yielding crop, so naturally it must be reported to the court for promotion. How can such a big thing be explained clearly in the memorial?
I'd better go to Beijing and report to the emperor in person."
In fact, the sweet potatoes were successfully grown on trial a year ago. The reason why he did not report it was because Wen Jiuxiao felt that Shanyun County was too popular. From the initial seawater salting, to the doubling of the population, to taxation, to the navy, and then to education
Mountain people...this one after another is so eye-catching.
Wen Jiuxiao put the matter down on the pretext that he wanted to test the planting for two more years to find out the temperature and soil for sweet potato growth. He had to take it slow and slow before he could walk more steadily.
Now he couldn't care less about his son.
Yu Zhi was a little worried, "Then the Emperor..." With the Emperor's vengeful temperament, would it be okay for Wen Jiuxiao to come to Beijing?
Wen Jiuxiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, the emperor is not so clear about it yet." Holding a grudge can lead to trouble. As an emperor, Emperor Kangtai naturally knows the importance.
"That's good." Yu Zhi felt relieved, "Then I'll pack some things and you can take them to Zhouzhou."
Wen Jiuxiao wanted to say that there was nothing in the capital. He didn't need to take him with him. He was such a big man and there was no need to worry about him anymore. Before he could open his mouth, Yu Zhi had already gone out to make arrangements. Wen Jiuxiao's hand paused in the air. Okay.
It fell slowly after a while.
Forget it, forget it, just take it with you. At most, you should respect your father-in-law.
The little girl Huahua knew that her father was going to the capital, and she was very excited. "Dad, take me, take me. I have never been to the capital in my whole life. I want to go with you too."
"There are many places you haven't been to, including this part of the capital. Don't worry about your father. Your father has serious business and can't take you with him." Yu Zhi dragged her over.
"Dad, dad, please take me there. I promise not to hold you back. I can ride a horse by myself. I promise not to complain about pain or tiredness." The little girl begged softly, knowing that her father loved her the most, "Dad."
, I miss my eldest brother. And my grandfather, grandmother, and maternal grandfather, I haven’t even met them yet.” It started to get worse.
Yu Zhi didn't listen to her at all, "Yes, yes, yes, your grandparents miss you. I'm afraid you don't know that the rules in Beijing are completely different from those here. A skinny monkey like you will just
Your parents spoil you, and when you get to the capital, they have to beat you eight times a day."
Yu Zhi threatened her, "Your grandmother will definitely make you learn the rules and be a girl. You will be locked in the yard all day long. If you can't learn it, you will slap your palms and kneel in the ancestral hall. You go, go quickly."
"If grandma hits me, won't I run away? She is too old and she will definitely not be able to catch up with me." The little girl said so plausibly that Yu Zhi was amused by her, "Would you like to run away? See if your grandma can't let anyone go."
Catch you? If caught, the penalty will be doubled, which will make you doubt your life. If you still run away, how can you still run away after being starved for two meals? The courage of an ordinary man, you know?" Yu Zhi educated her with a sneer.
The pretty little girl was speechless, but her eyes were still restless, and her bones were spinning, "Then, then, isn't there a father? Dad will definitely protect me, right dad? You will definitely not let grandma punish me!
"She raised her little face and looked at her father.
Yu Zhi sneered again, "Your father? Your father always watches you when you have nothing to do? Your father will come back after finishing his work. Your grandmother will definitely keep you in the capital to teach you when she sees that you are so unruly."
Don't count on your brother. Your brother will take the provincial examination in August and has no time to take care of you. If you disturb his reading, your grandmother will be the first to be unwilling."
The little girl was dumbfounded, "Mom, why are you pouring cold water on me?"
"I'm teaching you to recognize the reality. Be good, my dearest daughter. Only my mother will not dislike you if you are like this."
"Dad, look at my mother!" The little girl pouted and acted coquettishly at her father.
Wen Jiuxiao touched the eldest daughter's head and said warmly: "Huahua darling, dad has a tight schedule this time, so he really can't take you with him. Dad is not at home, and neither is your eldest brother. You are the eldest in the family. You can help dad take care of your mother and younger brother at home.
Okay? Wait until dad comes back, and he will take you out to sea."
Huahua was very disappointed at first, but when she heard her father promised to take her to sea, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Really take me to sea? Don't regret it." She had wanted to go to sea for a long time, but her father said that she was young and never agreed.
In order to prevent her father from going back on his word, the little girl quickly grabbed her father's hand and sealed the deal.
"Ha, once you pull the trigger, dad can't go back on his word."
