Chapter 716 Agreed
Huo Xi had expected that his grandfather's family would not return to their hometown.
The Li family, and now the uncle's family is often in contact with the grandfather and the others. The rest of the tribe are worse than strangers.
I am afraid that if I get involved with my grandfather's family and them, I will be questioned by the court.
The bitter cold in the southwest, coupled with the bad memories of more than ten years, I am afraid that the grandfather's family would also want to stay away from that place. My grandparents might have concerns about returning to the capital, but Huo Xi still wanted them to go back to the south of the Yangtze River.
"The girl said that although the three generations of the Li family couldn't take the scientific examination, but the generation of Young Master Sheng can take the imperial examination and become an official. Jiangnan style of writing is prevalent, and it is time to lead the family back to Jiangnan to plan for the future."
Li Dian received, Li Dianzang and the two brothers were moved, and they looked at Li Shimian and Ma Shi together.
Miao Shi, Cui Shi and others were even more excited.
They are hopeless, but in Sheng'er's generation, they can pass the imperial examination and become officials! With the abilities of their great-grandfather and grandfather, how could they not teach Sheng'er well?
"Father, mother..."
Mrs. Ma glared at them, "Why are you so anxious? They are discussing."
Li Shimian motioned for Chasing Wind to continue: "Sister Ning's letter didn't go into details, tell us, what did Sister Ning tell you?"
"Yes, that's what the girl said... Didn't the emperor want to move the capital? I'm afraid that in a few years, the royal family and most of the officials will move to Beijing. And when the younger one comes, the emperor has already scheduled a northern tour in March next year." , continue to leave the crown prince to supervise the country. There are some things that the girl is not good to say in the letter, so I entrust the younger one to tell you..."
The voice suddenly became weaker: "Miss guess, the emperor may not return to the capital again."
"Why? Why is this?"
Li Shimian and others were a little puzzled.
"When you came, the girl and the son had an analysis. Why did the emperor want to move the capital? I am afraid that the old lady and the two masters can guess the reason. Moreover, the emperor announced in front of all the officials in the court meeting on the first day of November. After hearing the news of moving the capital, there were quite a few people who opposed the move. However, the emperor was determined to dismiss and severely punish the ministers who objected. .”
Li Shimian sighed. When the emperor was still the King of Yan, he had contact with him. This man who kills and cuts decisively, Gan Gang is arbitrary. The decision cannot be changed by the courtiers.
This is also the reason why he doesn't want to go back to Jiangnan and has so many worries.
Living under the eyes of the emperor, at some point, the emperor will remember the events of the previous dynasty and offend them again.
"This national treasury is really going to be empty. It's no wonder that Sister Ning's secret method of offering so much money can make the emperor agree to exonerate us." Li Dianzang said with emotion.
"Silence!"
"Yes, Father."
Li Shimian glared at his youngest son, then looked at Zhuifeng again, "Go on."
"Yes, the girl feels that the emperor has only been on the throne for more than ten years, and next year's northern tour will have reached as many as five times. It can be seen that the emperor does not want to stay in the capital. And now the old palace and Yanwang mansion on the side of Yanjing have been repaired When it’s over, I’m afraid the emperor will stay there to watch the progress of the Forbidden City, and won’t return to Jiangnan.”
This is also Huo Xi's inference based on the history she knew in her previous life.
After the emperor visited the north in March next year, he never returned to Jiangnan.
"The girl said, it's okay for the old man's family not to return to the capital, but they can choose to live anywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, or live in the girl's village. In this way, we can get closer and see each other from time to time, so as to comfort the pain of lovesickness. Girl I often sigh that there is a long way to go to Shangyong, so I can't do my filial piety for my late wife."
Sister Ning...
The words drew Li Shimian and Ma Shi's tears again.
"Grandfather and grandmother, let's listen to Sister Ning, let's go back to Jiangnan, even if we don't go back to the capital, we can live in Suzhou and Hangzhou. I also want to see Sister Ning and Nian'er from time to time. How many years has it been?" I'm gone. Nian'er has grown up and gone to the battlefield."
Li Dianshou and others were overjoyed when they heard this.
"But what are we going to do when we go back to Jiangnan? We can't still rely on Sister Ning for help."
"You have no hands or feet, so why do you need Sister Ning to help? Your father and I can support ourselves even if we plant crops."
Li Shimian also said: "In recent years, my family has been making velvet flowers and doing women's work, and I have saved some money. Although the land in the south of the Yangtze River is expensive, the money in the family can buy some land, or grow it myself or rent it to others. Can survive."
"These girls have thought about it. The girl said that the two masters can open a private school and take in some students to pass the time. The old man can write a book or write a few more books about farming. It will be a bestseller..."
"I'm just talking on paper, it's not worth mentioning." Li Shimian said modestly.
Mrs. Ma was rather proud, "I'm not boasting, my old man, if he really wrote a book about farming, there must be no shortage of people to buy it."
Li Shimian glared at her. This old woman is bragging about something in front of outsiders.
Zhufeng smiled: "Yes, the young man was lucky enough to read the manuscripts compiled by the old man. The young man really thinks that the old man can concentrate on writing books and talking about farming when he returns to the south of the Yangtze River. Maybe he can become a farmer in the future What about the wearer! In the future, whoever mentions the crops in the field will think of the old man, this is a great thing that will last forever!"
Li Shimian was heartbroken when he heard it, but he couldn't help being humble.
I couldn't help thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
When he returns to the south of the Yangtze River, he will continue to study the method of high-yield crops. If he is lucky enough to pass it on to farmers, so that they can have enough food, it will be a great merit.
Unavoidably, my heart was agitated.
"Then what shall we do?" Li Dianzang and others were a little worried. Do you still need to farm after returning to Jiangnan?
Farming is not bad, but doesn’t it mean that there is a specialization in the art industry? They are not as good as their father.
"Don't you know the Yi language? You used to work in Honglu Temple. The girl said that now that the sea trade is prevalent, many people in the south of the Yangtze River love to do business with the Fan people, but because they can't communicate, the business is quite frustrated. Maybe The old man can make a fuss about it."
Li Dian was taken aback when he listened.
He understands Yi language, and he also received foreign envoys in Honglu Temple. Make a fuss about it?
He was thinking about it, but before he could figure out what he could do, Miao slapped his thigh: "That's right, no matter if it's an interpreter for the two parties, or whatever, you'll be able to make ends meet!"
Oops, there is hope for their big house! But they can find a job they can do.
"Then when we go back to Jiangnan, we will still open women's workshops! There are more silk and cotton in Jiangnan, and there are more female workers. Maybe we can do more work!"
Bai Shi and Shui Shi couldn't help being excited, they also found a job they could do. Their children will be able to enter the imperial examination in the future, so it is time to save some money for the children.
And they have never been to Jiangnan.
After hearing what his father and grandfather said, Li Zhi and others were a little worried. Grandfather and father have found work they can do, what are they going to do?
"I'll find Sister Ning when the time comes, I'm going to board her big boat and take a look around!"
Li Ji has long been yearning for the outside world. Every time he sees the things from Fanwai barbarians sent by sister Ning, he wants to take a look at the magical world of Fanwai.
"It's not urgent, we can think about it slowly."
Ma Shi and Li Shimian finally felt relieved when they heard the chatter of their children and grandchildren.
My heart has never felt so light. And all of this was exchanged for them by Sister Ning.
Thank you all for your support. I’m afraid there will be no more updates for Basho this month. Today, Basho will fly back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year. During the Chinese New Year, I basically squat in the kitchen to do various housework, save some manuscripts for the New Year, try to keep updating, but I’m afraid it won’t work.
Basho went home to buy new year’s goods, hahaha... When I was young, I liked shopping on the New Year’s goods street, especially the biscuit and candy street. The small vendors are super enthusiastic. Please try it. I didn’t feel embarrassed when I was young. After eating from one end to the other, you will be full after half a course, hahaha~
