Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 264: Greedy

Chen Qingsi came to the study and first wrote a slightly disgusting note of gratitude.

No matter what Li Xiaojiu's purpose was, Xiao Miaochen enjoyed practical benefits.

Among the midwives in the palace, those who survived were all truly capable, and they were better than those outside the palace no matter what.

As for Queen Wu...

It was inconvenient for Chen Qingsi to come into contact with him, so Xiao Miaochen would have to thank him for his kindness.

Now that she said it, she felt a little uneasy because she felt the different enthusiasm of Empress Wu.

Chen Qingsi was not surprised. No one in the world knew Empress Wu's political methods better than her. No matter how unhappy she was, she would not harm the overall situation because of her personal happiness and anger.

From her perspective, it is not difficult to see how important she is in Li Zhi's heart now, and her enthusiasm is reasonable.

As long as there is no longer the matter of Si Chen, Chen Qingsi feels that having such a queen is not a disadvantage.

He is also happy to live in peace with it.

As for Mrs. Yan Guo, Chen Qingsi was a little surprised, but felt that if it was Xiao Miaochen, it would be reasonable.

He was indeed kind to Lu Congbi, but not enough to let her be like this.

I guess it was his wife who really gained Lu Congbi's favor.

Chen Qingsi wrote a greeting note and planned to visit her to express her gratitude.

Then came Laiji.

Chen Qingsi had already felt about coming to rescue the prime minister.

This is Li Zhi's character. He has extremely low tolerance for people he doesn't like. If he hadn't helped him out in the first place, he would have been kicked out of the temple by Li Yifu.

Thinking about what happened to Lai Ji, Chen Qingsi became more determined to achieve more military exploits.

In this era, military merit is the greatest guarantee.

Chen Qingsi wrote another letter of greeting and paid a visit: Laiji was his guide to establish a temple in Gyeonggi Province. This time he suffered a disaster, so he had to pay a visit both emotionally and rationally.

After finishing these important matters, Chen Qingsi found Xiao Miaochen who was breastfeeding.

This time he didn't say unnecessary love words, but stayed by his side.

After the baby is full, let the baby lie on your shoulder and pat his back...

Then "burp", the baby made a big sound.

Chen Qingsi looked at the stunned Xiao Miaochen and said, "I learned it specially for my husband!"

He held the baby in his arms and chatted with Xiao Miaochen about daily life and some minor things they encountered after they were separated.

Until you fall asleep after eating...

Chen Qingsi hugged Xiao Miaochen and chatted about the unfinished words during the day.

As for the baby, he slept in the corner next to the bed.

If the child hadn't been fed every three hours or so at night, Chen Qingsi would have thought of leaving him to Qian Yan.

Generally speaking, given Chen Qingsi's current conditions, she would usually ask a wet nurse to breastfeed her for the sake of her mistress's health.

But Chen Qingsi knows that the nutrition of breast milk is time-sensitive, and the quality of the wet nurse's milk is far inferior to the mother's breast milk.    For the health of your child, some tiredness is unavoidable.

Early the next morning, Chen Qingsi got up early and resumed her usual habit of staying at home. She worked up a sweat from her morning exercise, then took a cold shower and went to the study to read refreshed.

I unexpectedly found two letters in a corner of the desk.

Chen Qingsi was thinking about spending time with Xiao Miaochen earlier yesterday without realizing it.

When he got the letter, it was from Shi Wuzi and Zhou Yi.

The days in Qingxi County came to Chen Qingsi's mind, and he couldn't help but feel nostalgic: when he was in Qingxi County, he felt too boring. With his own ability, in a small county, it was indeed boring. Occasionally, there are those who don’t have good eyesight, and they are opponents like Ji Wen.

After entering Beijing, I met all kinds of people, which were indeed far more fulfilling than those in Qingxi County. I came into contact with celebrities one after another, but now that I think about it, I feel that life in Qingxi County was still good.

With these complicated emotions, Chen Qingsi opened Zhou Yi's letter first.

Looking at Gong Gongzheng's handwriting, Chen Qingsi smiled knowingly.

This was obviously written by Zhou Yi himself: the symmetry of the handwriting is not neat enough, and the child's wrists are weak, so the written words and strokes will appear to be insufficient if there are even a few strokes, so it cannot be done in one go, and there are inevitable shortcomings in the dialogue.

"Mr. Xin'an is well..."

Chen Qingsi read it carefully. The child's letter was very long-winded, but it revealed that the students in the county school missed him and Xiao Miaochen. There were also some scattered things about the county. The core expression was that he wanted to come here in two years. He studied in the Imperial College in Beijing.

Chen Qingsi's reform of the Imperial College included the selection of students.

There are two quotas for each of the 360 ​​state capitals in the world, and the performance of students is linked to the performance of local officials.

Zhou Yi wants to fight for the student quota in Runzhou.

"Little guy, wait and see!"

There is no doubt that Zhou Yi's results are the best in Qingxi County. But looking at the entire Runzhou, it may not be the case.

Chen Qingsi put his letter aside and picked up Shi Wuzi's letter.

In the letter, Shi Wuzi briefly described that he had visited many places and seen many things since leaving Qingxi County. He compared the people's sentiments in various places with the situation in Qingxi County to understand the situation facing Jiangnan.

It is no longer about complaining that the imperial court ignored Jiangnan, but about allowing Jiangnan to develop better without affecting the national strategy.

Chen Qingsi was also a little pleased to see Shi Wuzi's growth.

After thinking for a while, he called Jiang Chen.

"Master Lang!"

Jiang Chen stepped forward respectfully.

Chen Qingsi asked him to take a seat and asked about the situation in Qingxi County: "How is Magistrate Wei doing? Are the folks okay?"

Jiang Chen said: "Master Lang has unique vision and has chosen a good county magistrate for Qingxi County. He is also well versed in Xiao Gui and Cao Sui. He knows that he is not as good as Master Lang, so he does not change Master Lang's policies and adopts them completely. Master Lang formulated a five-year plan for Qingxi County to develop county affairs. Nowadays, with Qingxi County as the leader, Sui'an County and Tonglu County as auxiliary, surrounding the Xin'an River and Fuchun River, a small The development economic circle is complementary and has good momentum."

"The people of Qingxi County are still thinking about Master Lang. When they learned that I was going north to look for Master Lang, they were afraid that I would be like Master Lang and leave without saying goodbye, so they forced me to bring gifts..."

Chen Qingsi asked unexpectedly: "What gifts are there?"

Jiang Chen said: "They are all specialties of Qingxi County. Qingxi sweet-scented osmanthus fish, sweet-scented osmanthus wine, sweet-scented osmanthus tea, Qingxi cloth, as well as rice, noodles, etc., I gave a lot of them. It's all a little thought, but in fact, here The cost of carrying thousands of miles is more expensive than these gifts. Especially the Qingxi sweet-scented osmanthus fish. Since the owner left, the fishermen in Qingxi County have been thinking about how to keep the fish out of the Xin'an River and still live for two months, so that the owner can The Lord was able to eat fresh ones. They tried many methods, but all failed in the end. Later, they studied a method, which is to freeze it first and then dry it in the sun, which can better maintain the taste of Qingxi mandarin fish. It’s all from the heart, it’s true It was hard to refuse, so I brought it along.”

Chen Qingsi said after a long while: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You are so greedy!"
