Chapter 468 No regrets
Yu Zhi received another letter from her elder brother's family. After reading it, she couldn't help laughing, and almost beat the wall with joy.
"Zhou Zhou is too narrow-minded." Yu Zhi smiled and handed the letter to Wen Jiuxiao, "Zhou Zhou said that his grandmother is 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 are not important, as long as Zhou Zhou likes it. As for getting married, it should be after the age of eighteen, and it would be better after the weak crown."
Wen Jiuxiao read the letter and looked at Yu Zhi, "Don't you choose 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 in the inner house, if they don't get along, or if they are too temperamental, what should I do if I get angry with Yu Xiaozhi?
Thinking of this, Wen Jiuxiao became a little unhappy. As his son grew up, there were more troubles that followed. He frowned and said, "Pick one you like."
"No." Yu Zhi directly refused, "A daughter-in-law is married to live with her son, not with me, as long as the son likes it."
The husband and wife have been together for so many years, how can she not know his thoughts? "If you get along, get along more, if you don't get along, get along less, third master, you have to have some confidence in your son, and you have to have some confidence in me!"
Whether in Ancheng, Beijing, or Shanyun County, has she ever suffered? No! Bully her? Ha, it's fine if she doesn't bully others.
"The most urgent thing is, the third master should think about how to dispel mother's thoughts." Although Zhou Zhou stopped him temporarily, Yu Zhi didn't believe her mother-in-law at all. They are not in the capital, if the mother-in-law insists on arranging a marriage for Zhou Zhou, she is a grandmother, even if they want to stop them, they will be powerless.
Wen Jiuxiao knows his mother better. At the beginning, she failed to fulfill his wish in his marriage, but now she is probably going all out to choose a good-for-nothing for her grandson. To be honest, Wen Jiuxiao didn't trust her mother's way of looking at people at all.
At the beginning of his marriage, my mother thought it was a good candidate...how should I put it? On the surface, those girls were well-educated, well-mannered, graceful, and there was nothing wrong with them.
In fact, one has no independent opinion and is played around by the concubine sister at home without knowing it; Even the big maid around him often beat and scolded for no reason.
The uncle's cousin she had a crush on was even more on the outside and another on the back. The front is caring and sensible, but the queen...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'd better go back to Beijing." Writing letters is too slow, if he speeds up, he can save half the time. And the letter didn't make it clear, he wanted to express his attitude in front of his mother: Zhou Zhou was his eldest son, if he married a wife, he would be the future clan wife, so he had to be cautious.
As for his father, he was afraid that he had the same thoughts as his mother, and only wanted to choose from the high school, but he didn't consider whether it was suitable or not.
"Can local officials come to Beijing at will without a decree?" Yu Zhi expressed doubts, "This is not the time to report on his duties!" As soon as he said this, Yu Zhi knew that he was stupid.
After being released for eight years, Wen Jiuxiao's inspections every year are excellent, but he has never been promoted, as if the court had forgotten him. If you want to say that the court has forgotten him, it is not accurate. After all, the rewards that should be given are not less than that, even if he is not promoted, he is not even willing to change his post. Therefore, Wen Jiuxiao has not been to Beijing to report on his work in the past eight years. Chance.
After all, there are generally only three situations for local officials to enter Beijing. They can either be promoted, transferred, or they can only be convicted in the past. Wen Jiuxiao doesn't account for these three situations, alas, the emperor is really stingy.
Wen Jiuxiao had long thought of a countermeasure, "Didn't the sweet potatoes brought back from overseas succeed in trial planting? This is a high-yield crop, so naturally it has to be reported to the imperial court for promotion. How can such a big matter be clearly explained in the memorial? I should go to Beijing and report to the emperor in person."
In fact, sweet potatoes were successfully planted a year ago. The reason why they didn't report it was because Wen Jiuxiao felt that Shanyun County was too popular. From the initial sea salt drying, to the doubling of population, to taxation, to sailors, and then to enlightenment The mountain people...these ones are too eye-catching.
Wen Jiuxiao suppressed the matter with the excuse that he wanted to try planting for two more years to find out the temperature and soil where sweet potatoes grow. He had to slow down, slow down to walk more steadily.
Yu Zhi was a little worried, "Then the emperor..." With the emperor's vengeful temperament, can Wen Jiuxiao get well in Beijing?
Wen Jiuxiao twitched the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, the emperor is not so confused." Holding grudges is also a matter. As an emperor, Emperor Kangtai naturally knew the severity.
"That's good." Yu Zhi felt relieved, "Then I'll go and pack some things for you to bring to Zhou Zhou."
Wen Jiuxiao wanted to say that there is nothing in the capital, so you don’t need to bring it, you are already this big, so you don’t need to worry about him anymore. Before he could open his mouth, Yu Zhi had already rushed out to make arrangements. Wen Jiuxiao's hand paused in the air, and it took a while before it slowly dropped.
Forget it, forget it, take it with you, at worst, respect your father-in-law.
Little girl Huahua knew that her father was going to the capital, so she was excited, "Father, take me, take me, I have never been to the capital since I grew up, and I want to go with you too."
"There are many places you haven't been to, not far from the capital. Don't lie to your father. Your father has serious business, but he can't take you with him." Yu Zhi dragged her over.
"Father, father, just take me there, I promise I won't hold you back, I can ride a horse myself, I promise I won't complain of suffering or fatigue." The little Huahua begged softly, knowing that her father loves her the most, "Daddy , I miss my eldest brother. There are also grandfather, grandmother, and maternal grandfather, I haven’t met them yet.” It started to sell miserably.
Yu Zhi didn't like her at all, "Yes, yes, yes, your grandparents miss you. I'm afraid you don't know that the rules in Beijing are not the same as those here. Your parents spoiled you, and when you arrive in the capital, you have to beat him eight times a day."
Yu Zhi frightened her, "Your grandmother will definitely force you to learn the rules and imitate female celebrities. 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."
"Grandma beat me, can't I run away? She is too old, she will definitely not be able to catch up with me." The little girl Huahua plausibly made Yu Zhi amused by her, "Try running? See if your grandma won't let people Catch you? If you catch it, you will be fined twice, and you will be fined enough to doubt your life. If you still run away, you will still be able to run after starving you twice? The courage of a man, do you know?" Yu Zhi sneered and educated her.
The little girl Huahua was speechless, her eyes still restless, and she turned around, "Well, then, don't you still have a father? My father will definitely protect me, right? You will definitely not let my grandmother punish me! "She raised her small face and looked at her father eagerly.
Yu Zhi sneered again, "Your father? Does your father always look after you when he has nothing to do? Your father came back after finishing his work. Your grandmother saw that you were so unruly, so she definitely wanted you to stay in Beijing to teach. Don't count on your brother, your brother will take the provincial examination in August, so he has no time to worry about you. If you disturb his reading, your grandmother will be the first one who won't."
The little girl Huahua was dumbfounded, "Mom, why are you pouring cold water on me!"
"I'm teaching you to recognize the reality, be good, big girl, you're the only one who doesn't despise you for your mother."
"Father, look at mother!" The little Huahua pouted and acted like a baby to her father.
Wen Jiuxiao touched the eldest daughter's head, and said softly: "Huahua, my father has a tight schedule this time, so I really can't take you with me. My father is not at home, and neither is your eldest brother. You are the oldest in the family. You are at home to help father take care of your mother and younger brother." Okay? When Dad comes back, Dad will take you out to sea."
Huahua was very disappointed at first, but when her father promised to take her to sea, her eyes lit up immediately, "You really take me to sea? Lagou, don't go back on your word." She wanted to go to sea a long time ago, but her father said she was young, so he never agreed.
In order to prevent her father from going back on his word, the little girl Huahua hurriedly grabbed her father's hand to pull the hook and sealed the matter.
"Ha, if you pull the check mark, Dad can't go back on his word."
