Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 501 One Year Old
Xue Lang officially performed his duties!Official office... what is that?
The so-called agricultural governor is an official position temporarily set up by the sage, and there is definitely no official office, so he has to share the official office of the Dudu Mansion with Princess Pingyang.

The official office is divided into front office and backyard, the front office is for office, and the backyard is for living.Now that there is more Xue Lang, that is to say, an office is allocated for him in the front office.This shabby office condition really makes people complain!
If he was in Chang'an, he would definitely have a good theory with the sage!Now... I work in the same place with my wife, so let's just make do with it.Beautiful women can improve work enthusiasm, Xue Lang thought secretly.

Xue Lang started to perform his duties, so Princess Pingyang asked someone to bring him the list that he had written down earlier, and recorded everything truthfully. It is about the voyage trade.

Princess Pingyang commented: "It is understandable for the family of Junwang to be interested in the profits of COSCO's trade, but according to my opinion, some governors are also interested in this. It is really unreasonable! Officials do not intend to rule, but stare at it. For the profit of commerce... in his position, he doesn't seek his own government, and his corpse is a vegetarian... he should be killed!"

Xue Lang said: "It's not entirely like this. Pei Jingxi has approached me several times for Champa Rice and paid close attention to it. He didn't even mention the Yuanhang trade. Obviously, his ambition is not limited to the governor."

Princess Pingyang nodded, and said: "Pei Yunzhao comes from the Pei family, and he comes from a famous family. How can his vision be limited to this? People from these aristocratic families can see the political affairs hall in the Taiji Palace as far as they can see, and that is their ideal place." land."

Xue Lang said: "That's good too! It's always good to have ideals. At least, those who aspire to be an official will have scruples when they are in politics, and the people will not suffer when they govern. I'm afraid of those who feel that there is no hope of promotion and act as a threat to the local people." If you are a blessing, then the local people will suffer!"

Princess Pingyang nodded in agreement, and the two chatted casually.The promotion of Champa rice is still early, at least after the beginning of spring, and now it is the Chinese New Year.

Before the Republic of China, the word Spring Festival did not exist. It was always called New Year’s Day, also known as Yuanzheng. If you said Spring Festival to someone, the other party would definitely look confused and didn’t understand what you were talking about.

Although Jiangnan is damp and cold, Xue Lang likes to celebrate New Year here.The New Year's Day in the south of the Yangtze River is naturally not as lively as Chang'an City, but there are not so many disturbances. The whole family closes the door, eats and drinks, and the husband and wife talk, tease the children, and spend an ordinary New Year's Day.

During this period of time, Shui Nu's baby is no longer satisfied with being a crawling baby, she wants to stand up and be a baby that walks upright.As a result, the child's mother, child's father, mother-in-law, and maidservants took turns to hold her little hand and help her walk around the house.

The little girl has also learned how to command others. Her mother is busy, and when her father is on strike, she turns to the servants, stretches out a pair of small hands, and makes a gesture of hugging, yelling "ahhh", and grinning if she doesn't want to hug her. Mouth crying.

The little girl is a bit stubborn, and she will not give up until she achieves her goal.When you can't get what you want, you will cry with your head raised.Xue Lang tried, ignoring her and letting her cry by herself, she stopped crying for a while, but if someone passed by, as long as she looked into her eyes, she would immediately start crying again with tears in her eyes, and even cry aggrieved She was sad again, but if she continued to ignore her, she would stop immediately.

Xue Lang wanted to try a few more times to see how many times she could cry, but in the end, the nanny rolled her eyes and picked up the aggrieved little water slave to coax her away, just like Xue Lang didn't regard the water slave as his own. It hurts.When he was about to accuse and disapprove, he said to Xue Lang: "Such a cute child like Yuxue, the son-in-law can't bear it? Teasing a child like this is not what a father should do?"

Well, he is suspected of being a stepfather!
Xue Lang silently covered his face in his heart, and inadvertently glanced at Princess Pingyang from the corner of his eyes——

Fuck!Who is that unscrupulous mother with a loving expression on her face who was so excited to amuse the children with him just now?It turns out that Her Royal Highness is not only good at raising energy, but also at changing face!Xue Lang had a feeling of "being a husband and wife for two years, and only now did I know the true face of my beautiful wife", and his expression was complicated.

So you turned out to be such a princess!
Princess Pingyang couldn't pretend anymore, she couldn't help laughing "puchi", stretched her wrist tightly in her sleeves, and pulled Xue Lang's clothes, her eyes were piercing, as if complaining.

Seeing Xue Lang's heart pounding, his face slowly turned red, and he suddenly understood why someone was being tricked by a beauty.It's not that our army is too incompetent, but that the enemy army is too good-looking. Everyone has a love of beauty, right?

The day before New Year's Day, Jiang Lin came over, looking at Shui Nu's eyes was a kindness, Xue Lang understood: "Miss Ah Li?"

Jiang Lin nodded, with a look of longing in his eyes, and said: "I don't know how their mother and son are in Beijing. My family is small in size. I'm not at home. I think it's more cold and bitter."

Xue Lang patted him on the shoulder, trying to comfort him but couldn't speak, secretly hating himself for his clumsy mouth.Instead, Jiang Lin himself said: "Forget it, it's like this for officials and generals, there's no reason to be at home every day! But I haven't seen him for a while, Shui Nu has grown so big, and children grow up fast. "

I still miss Ari!Seeing Shui Nu thinking about Ah Li, it must have changed a lot since Jiang Lin left Beijing.

"By the way, big brother, can the Champa rice allow me a few acres of seeds? The output of the public land of my Suzhou garrison is too small, and the life of the garrison is very poor. If I can get more rice, I want to live in everyone's life." It will be better."

Jiang Lin changed the topic, and Xue Lang nodded without thinking: "Yes! Generally speaking, one mu of land needs four to five catties of grain seeds, and I will give you one thousand catties. You prepare the field and sow the seedlings after the spring begins. Then plant the seedlings and transplant them.”

Jiang Lin was overjoyed, and quickly agreed: "Here, my brother will be ready."

Xue Lang is not a pedantic person, he is never stingy when he can seek benefits and convenience for his own people.

After the new year, Shui Nu will be one year old. Princess Pingyang and Xue Lang held a small birthday banquet for her in the Dudu Mansion. Naturally, guests should be invited to the banquet. However, the two did not plan to hold a big one, and only invited the guests from Taizhou. The Zhao family, governor of the local county, Qian governor of Taizhou, Pei Yunzhao, governor of Yuezhou, and Jiang Lin, the rest were not invited, including the Chai family.

"father!"

It's almost one year old, and Shui Nu's baby's father's pronunciation is finally much clearer, and he won't call it Papa anymore.A few days before the banquet, Shui Nu's little baby finally learned to walk, but it was not stable enough, and would fall from time to time.When wrestling, the little girl never cried, and got up with her little buttocks pouted.I don’t know who I learned from. When I got up, I would pat the little skirt by myself. Although the real dust can never be patted off, there is that meaning.

Children at this time are the cutest.Learning to speak, instinctive imitation, may not see for a day or two, the baby will learn new vocabulary and learn new actions.It happened that spring hadn't started yet, except for the preliminary work of Champa rice planting, Xue Lang devoted the rest of the time to the mother and daughter, and his heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.

And Su Han, the capital of Chang'an, who was newly married and finally left the regiment and became a glorious married man, was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms—

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a loud knock on the door, and Su Han opened his eyes vigilantly.The lovely wife Miss Kong next to her was about to sit up, Su Han said: "Just sleep peacefully, I'll go and have a look."
