Chapter 598: An Hao (The Finale)(1/2)
In May, Yan Xuehuai and Xiaoman have another new book. This book is different from the previous two books. This is a travel notes about sailing.
The emperor and the prince both read this book and were all thinking about it.
The emperor felt a little moved that Princess Rui was a woman, and Princess Rui's younger brother was still a half-aged child, and none of them could be entrusted with important responsibilities.
Fortunately, these troubles can be handed over to the prince.
Yan Xuehuai didn't care about this. Miss Lu Si and Mr. Wu Er were officially engaged. Mr. Wu was already twenty years old and the marriage could not be delayed. The marriage date was set in March next year, a few months later than Zhou Wanqian.
Lu Jinxing's marriage was still not settled, but the troubles were never stopped. His character, appearance, family background was the best choice. Many people like him in the capital, and even Princess Suiping was moved by her heart.
Last time at the wedding banquet of King Zhuang, Princess Suiping became famous after drinking. The noble girls in the capital were as scorpions as snakes and scorpions, fearing that they would be hated by the crown princess. Princess Suiping could not receive invitations from various prefectures and completely stopped entering the palace. When she was idle, she walked on the street, so she met Lu Jinxing, who was also walking alone.
When Princess Suiping saw Lu Jinxing, she was shocked. The Tartar women dared to love and hate. Princess Suiping directly found Lu Jinxing and asked Lu Jinxing to be her guest. She wore her for half a month, and Lu Jinxing never got tired of it.
Just at this moment, news came from Pingcheng that the Empress Dowager's death was that although the Empress Dowager had become a nun, he was Renzong's biological mother after all. Even if he could not be buried in the imperial tomb, he would have to be buried in a grand manner.
Lu Jinxing took the opportunity to ask for an errand and went to Pingcheng to mourn the Empress Dowager.
Princess Suiping heard the news and rode a horse to chase after her. When she arrived at the outer city, she was stopped. She was the princess and could not leave the capital without an imperial edict.
In anger, Princess Suiping whipped a flag bearer guard with a horse whip. But the flag bearer guard was still a noble son. He filed a complaint before the saint. In the end, Princess Suiping paid 10,000 taels of silver, and the matter was settled.
King Zhongyong kept his ears and ears around Princess Suiping. King Zhongyong, who was far away in Tartar, was very annoyed when he learned about Princess Suiping’s work in the capital. He wrote another memorial and asked the emperor to give Princess Suiping a marriage. This time he lowered his requirements as long as his wealth was innocent.
Not long after, the emperor ordered Princess Suiping to marry a new Jinshi. The mother of the Jinshi was famous for being fierce and arrogant. Her mother's family opened an escort agency. She herself also had martial arts skills. The maids and mothers around her were all good at martial arts. After several fights, Princess Suiping was completely defeated, but she was not discouraged. From then on, she lived a life of confronting her mother-in-law to the end, completely throwing Lu Jinxing out of the sky.
During the funeral of the Empress Dowager, the emperor and the princes mourned for 27 days, and the people prohibited banquets and weddings for a hundred days to show their condolences.
The day after hearing the news, Xiaoman did not return home after school. He didn't even bring Tang Long. He just called A Ying when he passed by Qianweiju. The two bought incense, candles and paper money and went outside the city. They found an intersection. Xiaoman kowtowed three times in the direction of Pingcheng.
The Empress Dowager loved him, but this love was mixed with too many interests and calculations, and Xiaoman also had feelings for the Empress Dowager.
That night, Xiaoman came back very late because the Empress Dowager was a monk, and her funeral was not organized according to the funeral. Except for the emperor and the prince and the prince, the officials and the people did not need to wear mourning. Therefore, the Duke's Mansion only replaced the red lanterns with plain lanterns.
When Li Qiniang saw Xiaoman, she just asked him to wash his hands and eat as usual. She also told his servant not to let the young master be greedy for cold weather and to cover him with a thin quilt when sleeping at night.
Xiaoman knew that his father must have kept it from his mother, making his mother mistakenly think that he was just going out to play with his classmates.
Xiaoman had dinner, ate the food and returned to the study, as usual, but he knew that from this day on, he had nothing to do with the palace.
He is Li Man, the adopted son of Duke Ding, Prince Rui's brother-in-law, and Grandpa Li's grandson.
In the blink of an eye, twenty-seven days later, Yan Xuehuai finally took off his mourning clothes. He was about to relax and relax quickly, but the small drum that was about to accumulate energy was about to come out.
Yan Xuehuai was the first child. She had tossed for a day and a night. It was not until the next morning that Xiaogu came out with great enthusiasm. When he heard the gender, Chai Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this little drunkard was not a daughter.
The little drunkard is well-known. When he was arresting Zhou, he didn't want any good things on the bed, but he grabbed a jade gourd and didn't let go. The jade gourd was pasted with a piece of red paper with the word "wine" written on it.
As soon as Xiaogu's capture of Zhou Li, the emperor issued an edict to abdicate the throne to the crown prince, and he became the supreme emperor.
The Empress Dowager has not returned to her parents' home in the Central Plains for many years. The Emperor accompanied the Empress Dowager back to visit her relatives, and the three princesses accompanied her with their children.
It was the first time Xiaogu was riding a boat. He was so excited that the little man ran around with two short legs, which scared the wet nurse and the maids to follow him, and he didn't even dare to blink his eyes.
Yan Xuehuai wanted to carry the drum back to the cabin. The drum twisted his body and kicked his legs around, and was forcibly taken away, and was so angry that he burst into tears.
Yan Xuehuai said to the Queen Mother a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Gu is so naughty."
The queen mother smiled and said, "This is still naughty. She is much more obedient than King Rui when he was a child."
However, a few days later, the freshness of the drum passed, crying and looking for his father, Yan Xuehuai had no choice but to open the lid of the wine gourd to let him smell it.
Yan Xuehuai once again said that as long as he didn't cry, he would let him drink when he grew up. This trick was so good that he sucked his saliva and nodded. When will he grow up?
A small boat sailed by the big boat. The guards on the big boat raised their spears to signal the small boat to avoid it. The monks on the small boat raised their heads and looked at the big boat that was gradually fading away, with deep affection.
"Master, the wind is blowing, come into the cabin." Zhouzi, who was scrambling the boat, reminded with kindness.
The monk smiled: "Do you know who you are? Who is your father?"
Zhouzi was stunned: "Why don't you know? Of course I know. My father is Zhang Dashui, and I am ranked third, so I am Zhang Sanlang."
Seeing the monk laughing but not speaking, Zhouzi was surprised: "Don't the master know?"
The ship had gone far away, and the monk's eyes were still looking into the distance: "I used to think I knew, but later I realized that I didn't know, but it was no longer important."
The river wind blew, and the monk shook his thin robe on his body and turned into the cabin.
The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager lived in the Central Plains for three months. On the way back from the Central Plains, the Supreme Emperor also took a detour to see the newly built official shipyard. Yan Xuehuai met Zhou Dading's house at the official shipyard. It turned out that Zhou Dading's house has been here for the past few months. This shipyard is her hard work and the hope of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
With the opening of major wharves, the French people continued to come to the Great Wei Dynasty. The Ministry of Rites added a new department, which was under the charge of Ouyang Zan, and was specifically responsible for the affairs of the French people.
At this moment, something shocked the government and the people happened. Princess Rui became a professor at Lihua Academy!
The professor is a teacher. There were also female teachers in the Great Wei Dynasty, but it was only limited to teaching female students and teaching females to advise females.
Yan Xuehuai taught in Lihua Academy. Some of the students, male and female, were officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.
What the court officials controversial was that women should not be professors. Besides, Princess Rui's younger brother Li Man is also proficient in the language of anime, and Li Man also has students. Mr. Gao from Honglu Temple was a professor at Lihua Academy before, and now he can also be competent for the language of anime.
But Mr. Gao himself didn't think so. Every time he saw Princess Rui, he would admire Princess Rui a little more. Princess Rui understood not only the words, but also many other things.
For example, when the ship arrived at the dock, Princess Rui suggested that everyone on the ship must first check the body of the doctor and confirm that there is no illness, then be isolated for fourteen days. After fourteen days, the doctor will diagnose the pulse again and confirm that it is not good, so that he can move freely.
There are many similar proposals. Although these were all proposed by Prince Rui, Mr. Gao knew that these were all the opinions of Princess Rui.
He felt ashamed of himself.
Amid the sound of discussion, Yan Xuehuai started classes at Lihua Academy. The courses were not tight. They were once every three days. Every time they were half an hour, students could ask Xiaoman when she didn't come.
However, everyone soon discovered that as long as Princess Rui comes to give a lecture, the seats in the first row must have been occupied in advance. The one sitting there was Prince Rui. Later, Prince Chai Hao and his companions also came.
Chai Yan was not interested in learning the language. He just thought Yan Xuehuai on the podium was very charming and so charming, so he had to come and stare.
Yan Xuehuai's teaching career was only one year, because she was pregnant again, Xiaoman was replaced by her. Mr. Gao's level has also improved a lot and can help Xiaoman teach students.
Yan Xuehuai has no regrets about this. Even in her previous life, she had never dreamed of being a teacher. Xiaoman is more suitable for teaching and educating than her.
During the period when she was raising her baby, she translated several books, and in the past two or three years, she had several happy events.
First, Fusheng and Zhou Wanqian got married, then Mr. Wu married Miss Lu Si, and then Dazhuang married Tang Ru. Tang Ru's body was full, so she opened a tofu workshop. This was a family-born craft. The tofu used by Li Shiji all came from the Tang family tofu workshop.
When Daniu returned to Pingcheng to propose marriage, Tian Guihua happily agreed that Cuicui came with craftsmanship, and the osmanthus sesame cake officially landed in the capital.
Only the poor pearl finally plucked up the courage to confess to Lu Ying'er, but was sadly discovered that Lu Ying'er had no thoughts about him. Instead, there was a Cai Xiucai who wrote the food scriptures and got the green eyes of Lu Ying'er.
Cai Xiucai was from a wealthy family and had no intention of taking the imperial examination. His favorite thing in his life was food. He used all his literary talent to write food scriptures. He was a frequent visitor to Li Shiji. There were several foods in Li Shiji that were written into the food scriptures.
He and Lu Ying'er, one can eat and the other can cook. Li Qiniang quietly observed it for a year and felt that although Cai Xiucai was a little greedy, he was a person who could entrust his life to his life. Then she decided to let Lu Ying'er marry him.
After Lu Ying'er got married, she still held the scoop in Li Shiji and later gave birth to a baby. Li Shiji often saw Cai Xiucai holding the child and talking about food scriptures with others.
Pearl continued to work harder, and after Lu Ying'er rejected him, she immediately turned her eyes to all directions and finally locked in Shihong.
He is gentle and elegant, soft on the outside but hard on the inside. Pearl feels that his spring is really coming.
However, it was not until Agate quietly asked for Dill that the marriage between Pearl and Zhihong was settled.
Both Dill and Shi Hong didn't want to leave the Rui Palace. After they got married, they still stayed with Yan Xuehuai. One was responsible for daily life, and the other was still writing and painting.
Two years later, the first improved warship of the official shipyard was successfully tested, and a few months later, it came in handy at sea.
Three years later, the emperor decided to send officials to the foreign country. Yan Xuehuai wanted to go, but Chai Yan did not agree. Three years later, the first batch of officials who were on the mission came back. Chai Yan felt relieved. He wrote to the emperor and wanted to go on an envoy with the second batch of officials.
This year, Xiao Gu was ten years old and her sister Xiao Jiu was eight years old.
That's right, the little princess of Prince Rui's mansion is Xiaojiu, which is the name given to her by her brother. When the little princess was just born, the brother came up to smell it, and then pointed at her sister and said, "Sister, wine, fragrant and fragrant."
The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager were originally reluctant to let their two children go on missions together, but the two children could not live without their parents. Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai also wanted to take the children to see the world. In the end, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager had to agree and prepared a lot of things for them to take with them.
This trip also lasted for three years. Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai and their children arrived in four countries one after another. In one of the countries, their family of four met the queen and her husband.
Three years later, the family of four landed in Zhenjiang Port with the officials on duty, and stood on the land of the motherland. Chai Yan was filled with mixed feelings. He was no longer the impulsive and willful prince back then. He was graceful and calm. Whenever Yan Xuehuai looked at him, he had to admire his own vision. A man was not greasy after thirty. This is a baby.
Yan Xuehuai is also a treasure in Chai Yan's eyes. Time treats this woman well. She is still beautiful, slim, and still shining.
Xiaogu and Xiaojiu walked behind, looking at their loved ones in front of them, and they felt bored. Xiaogu looked around bored and saw that the crowds were crowded not far away. He immediately became energetic and said to his sister: "Let's go, let's go and watch the fun."
Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai came to the inn and found that their children did not come with him. They asked the entourage and knew that the two naughty children were going to watch the fun, so they were too lazy to care. With so many guards, these two little things would be fine.
In the evening, Xiaogu took his sister back to the inn. Yan Xuehuai sniffed and shouted: "Have you taken your sister to drink?"
Xiaojiu quickly covered her mouth, and Xiaogu protected her sister behind her: "I drank it, Xiaojiu just tasted it, a small sip."
Yan Xuehuai stared at them: "Drinking a child is a traumatic man. If you become fools, I don't want you anymore."
It was so terrible that the two of them shrank their necks. They always said this, and they had been saying it for several years.
Xiaogu quickly changed the topic: "Mom, there is an old man who sets a calligraphy and painting stall. He looks very pitiful, but his son came to him for money. If he didn't give it, his son robbed his purse and pushed him to the ground. His son was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Onlookers said that his son often came to him for money, and it was not the first time he would hit people if he didn't give it."
Yan Xuehuai sighed: "If the son does not teach him, it is the father's fault. If the son looks like this, the father is not completely responsible."
Seeing that the mother didn't mention their drinking, Xiaogu nodded in a pleasing manner: "That's right, like my father, I am very good at teaching the children. My sister and I will never become bad. Mom, what my son said, right?"
Yan Xuehuai glanced at him and asked, "Did you give that old man money?"
Seeing the danger resolved, Xiaojiu poked her little head out from behind her brother and said in a soft voice: "I gave it to me, I have money."
Yan Xuehuai thought about it. They had just landed, where did the children get the money?
"Gold, are you giving out gold?" Gold is also common in the Fan Kingdom. The two children have gold coins from the Fan Kingdom on them. Before Yan Xuehuai had time to take them back, it seems that he had already rewarded them.
Yan Xuehuai guessed correctly. The one who used the wine to reward the poor old man was a glass of golden coins.
