Your daughter's strategy

Xu Miaoyun and Xiaoxian listened for a while, and when it was almost noon, they said they would stay with Xu Jinghuan for lunch, and then took Xiaoxian back to prepare first.

Xiaoxian took Xu Miaoyun's hand and said, "Why haven't I seen uncle before?"

Xu Miaoyun said softly: "Your uncle has been in Shanxi, and now that he is back, there will be more opportunities to see him in the future."

Xiaoxian muttered: "It's not as powerful as what the queen mother said."

Xu Miaoyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pinched Xiaoxian's little nose: "You, I will know how powerful my uncle is in the future."

In front of Xu Miaoyun before, Xu Jinghuan and Bo Rang mostly talked about irrelevant topics. Now that Xu Miaoyun is gone, they slowly turned to the main topic. Bo Rang talked about his plans for the past two years, and his words were full of emotion: " Today's peaceful and prosperous times are all left by the emperor's grandfather, and it depends on me how to go about it in the future. To be honest, I have no idea."

Xu Jinghuan said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Since ancient times, the prosperity of Mingjun is nothing more than two points: selecting talents and appointing talents, and making the people rich and the country strong."

Bo Rang nodded: "I don't know, I also understand that the selection of talents requires the selection of talents. Nowadays, most of the ministers in the court are left behind by the emperor's grandfather. , I haven't found a suitable replacement yet. Although I have promoted a few newcomers, they still need experience, and it is difficult to take on the big responsibilities for a while, while the wealth of the people must encourage farming and weaving, and the strength of the country must train soldiers. One piece at a time, it’s easier said than done.”

Xu Jinghuan said: "What does the emperor mean?"

Bo Rang said with a smile: "You still don't understand what I mean? I want you to stay in the capital, and Mr. Liang Ge leaves. No one cares about the official department. You first go to the official department to take the post of Shangshu temporarily. I think next spring Take a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, talent is the foundation of a country, if this trip to the south of the Yangtze River can pick out a few talents, it will be a worthwhile trip."

Xu Jinghuan was a little surprised: "To Jiangnan?"

Bo Rang nodded: "I've already decided that when the time comes, let Yang Minzhi stay in the capital to guard, and you follow me for a trip, with a light car and a light car. Two months back and forth will be enough."

Xu Jinghuan thought for a while, and said: "Would you like to let the prince go with you, at least you will gain insight."

Boyang said: "I think so, but look at Miaoyun, can she agree?"

Xu Jinghuan frowned and said: "Since it is good for the crown prince, I can't tolerate her being soft-hearted. I want to take Brother Mao for a while. If I go to Jiangnan, I will definitely pass through Hangzhou. By the way, I will take him back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. "

Bo Rang smiled and said, "Since you think it's good, then take it with you."

I thought to myself that it was Xu Jinghuan who disciplined the child to be more ruthless, but it was actually on him.He was also not very willing to let his son run around with him.

During lunch, Xu Jinghuan and Xu Miaoyun mentioned this matter.Xu Miaoyun naturally refused: "Xiaoxian is still young."

Xu Jinghuan said unhappily: "Three years old and still young? If it's a girl, I don't have anything to say about how you pamper me, but he is a boy after all, and he will stand upright in the future. How can he do it if he has never seen the world?"

Regardless of Xu Miaoyun's objection, he asked Xiaoxian again: "Would you like to follow uncle to Jiangnan with Brother Mao?"

Xiaoxian was a little curious: "Is Jiangnan fun?"

Xu Jinghuan said without hesitation: "It's fun!"

Xiaoxian's eyes glowed, and he nodded, "Then I'll go."

Xu Miaoyun hesitated to speak, not daring to stare at Xu Jinghuan.He had no choice but to stare at Bo Rang, who kept smiling.Seeing this, he lowered his head, pretending he didn't see it.

Although Bo Rang told Xu Miaoyun about the Jiangnan incident before, he didn't tell Xiao Xian to go with him, but now he heard what Xu Jinghuan said meant that it was going to be settled, and he blamed Bo Rang after returning.

Bo Rang was very wronged: "I didn't mention Xiaoxian a word. It was your brother who said that the opportunity is rare and it is best to take Xiaoxian to meet the world, and he also said that Brother Mao would go with him."

Xu Miaoyun said: "If you bite to death and don't ask Xiaoxian to follow, can he still force you to agree? How talented is Xiaoxian? It must be inconvenient for a group of you to go out with a maid to serve, a group of old men, who will take care of you?" Xiaoxian? Let me tell you, if Xiaoxian gets sick and loses weight, I can't spare you."

Bo Rang said with a smile: "Isn't it that I haven't gone yet? Anyway, I have to wait for the new year. Don't look at Xiaoxian who is young, but he is smart. Don't worry, even if he suffers outside, it will be hard for him. There are only advantages and no disadvantages.”

Xu Jinghuan was not like Bo Rang, who wanted to speak nicely to Xu Miaoyun. After returning home, he told Yan Jingyi directly: "After the new year, brother Mao and I will go to Jiangnan with the emperor, and you help pack our luggage."

Yan Jingyi was stunned for a moment: "Are you going to take Brother Mao to Jiangnan?"

Xu Jinghuan said: "By the way, go to Hangzhou to worship the ancestors. He is the eldest grandson of the Xu family. He should go there as soon as he was born. It's good to take this opportunity to do this."

Yan Jingyi said: "Is it convenient to go out with the emperor? How many people have you brought? How long?"

Xu Jinghuan said: "There shouldn't be many people there. They are going on tour in modest clothes, and they don't intend to make it public. Just pack a few clothes and change them."

Yan Jingyi originally thought that she was going on a southern tour with the emperor's guard of honor, so it would be okay to let her son go to see the world, but now when she heard this, she immediately became unhappy: "You are a big man, you are not afraid of hardships, Brother Mao is only very old, and he doesn’t even know how to dress himself, what do you want him to do? It’s to worship the ancestors, so it’s not the same to go after two years?”

Xu Jinghuan said: "The crown prince can go, but brother Mao can't? Boys are not so delicate."

Yan Jingyi stopped talking when she heard that the crown prince was also going. With Xu Miaoyun around, she would definitely not let the crown prince suffer, so Brother Mao shouldn't suffer much if she follows her. In addition, she will not set off until the spring of the new year , So I pressed this matter down and prepared for the New Year wholeheartedly.

In previous years, Brother Mao would stay at Xu's house until the fifth day of the new year, and then return to the palace. This year, because Xu Jinghuan and Yan Jingyi came back, no one mentioned it. When the fifth day came, Brother Mao saw that no one had come. When I picked him up, I was in a hurry, and ran to Mrs. Xu and asked, "Why didn't my aunt call someone to pick me up?"

The old lady Xu said with a smile: "Your parents are here, and this year you will celebrate the New Year with your parents. Wait until the Lantern Festival is over before entering the palace to greet your aunt, okay?"

Brother Mao was very unhappy, because Xu Miaoyun and Bo Rang would give him lucky money when he was taken back to the palace on the fifth day of the new year, and Xiaoxian would share all kinds of exquisite snacks and candies with him. Playing snowball fights is naturally fun.

But in the Xu family, even though Sister Wan was about the same age as him, she would not run wildly around with him.It's really boring to set off firecrackers with him, and most importantly, he misses Xu Miaoyun too.

Seeing Mrs. Xu's refusal, Brother Mao cried: "I want my aunt, I want to imitate the virtuous."

Mrs. Xu hurriedly wiped away his tears: "If it's a big deal, just cry. I'll ask your aunt to pick you up." Brother Mao stopped crying now, and obediently sat aside and waited for someone to pick you up.

Xu Jinghuan and Yan Jingyi's faces darkened as they watched from the side. What Xu Jinghuan thought in his heart was that he dared to cry every now and then. It seemed that he really owed discipline.

And Yan Jingyi was sad, although she deliberately got close these few days.But Brother Mao is still a little strange to her, and he wakes up in his sleep and ignorantly calls her aunt.Yan Jingyi thought sadly, where is this her son, Brother Mao was clearly raised as Xu Miaoyun's son.

After Mao Geer was picked up, Mrs. Xu said to Xu Jinghuan and Yan Jingyi: "Don't be unhappy, both of you, when you left Mao Geer away, Mao Geer cried for several days, coaxed and coaxed Not good. Miaoyun still felt sorry for her nephew, and took him into the palace to be with Xiaoxian as company. This is slowly getting better. Miaoyun told Brother Mao that he didn't care, but he has everything Xiaoxian has. Even a biological son is nothing more than that, and it is inevitable for Mao Geer to kiss her now, don't be jealous, after all, he is the biological parents, how can he deny you?"

Xu Jinghuan said: "I don't care about this, but Brother Mao is too spoiled."

The old lady Xu said with a smile: "Brother Mao is like this, who sees it and doesn't boast? You want him to take the No. [-] Scholar exam and parade around the street immediately to be satisfied? The child needs to be taught slowly. How did I teach you when you were young?" Xu Jinghuan smiled. He smiled and stopped talking.

Yan Jingyi was heartbroken, but Mrs. Xu's words were all gags.

That's right, she also nodded when Mao Geer was left behind, and now she can't blame others if Mao Geer doesn't kiss her, but she was also reluctant in every way at the beginning. On the way to Shanxi, she thought of her son every day, I lost a lot of weight.

She also wanted to take her son with her. It was Mrs. Xu who said that the child was too young to run around, and she had to stay by her side to teach herself. Xu Jinghuan listened to Mrs. Xu, and she wanted to make her son promising, so she nodded reluctantly. Now that the child doesn't kiss her, is it her own fault?

And even if it wasn't for Xu Miaoyun, Mrs. Xu raised Brother Mao herself, Brother Mao would only kiss Old Mrs. Xu if he wanted to, but still wouldn't kiss her.

Yan Jingyi only felt regret, her intestines were green, she should persevere at that time, she should never have left Brother Mao, now her good son belongs to someone else, she touched this in her stomach, The eldest son is extroverted, perhaps only this is her reliance.

Brother Mao was very happy when he was taken back to the palace. Xu Miaoyun gave him a bag of small goldfish as lucky money, and Xiaoxian got it just like him. The little goldfish were all pierced, and now they are tied in a string with red thread Hanging on the lapel, it is very playful, Mao Geer also learned to hang the small goldfish on the lapel, and got a yellow field stone that can be carved into a seal from Bo Rang. Hand in hand, he ran to Taining to ask for New Year's money.

Seeing the two children running away happily, Xu Miaoyun's face was full of tenderness, but Bo Rang felt that something was wrong: "It's fine in the past, but now your brother and sister-in-law are here, and Brother Mao is still in the palace for the New Year, so what do they think. "

Xu Miaoyun said: "My brother is not a narrow-minded person. Brother Mao kissed me, and it's too late for him to be happy."

Bo Rang said: "But your sister-in-law may not be so magnanimous. Brother Mao is her son. After three years of separation, I don't know how to cherish him. Brother Mao is crying for you. You say she Can you not get over it in your heart? We had a fight over your dowry before, and there was already a gap in my heart, now that I have gone through this again, I don’t know how to guess."

Xu Miaoyun was stunned, after thinking about it, she felt that what Bo Rang said made sense, and put herself in the situation, if Xiaoxian only got close to her sister-in-law and was a stranger to her, how would she be so heartbroken, because it is said that a woman is weak As a mother, she is strong. The most intolerable thing for a mother is to be deprived of her child.

But if you let Brother Mao go back to Xu's house, let's not mention her reluctance.Brother Mao is not used to it, and maybe he will feel that his aunt doesn't want him anymore, and he doesn't know how he will cry.

Seeing Xu Miaoyun in a daze, Bo Rang hugged her in his arms: "Even if we treat Brother Mao well, but we are not your biological parents, you have to be mentally prepared whether Brother Mao stays in the palace or is sent back to Xu's family." It is."

Xu Miaoyun calmed down and said: "I will discuss it with my brother another day. After all, Brother Mao still has to study with Xie Yushu."

Mao Geer and Xiaoxian ran to the queen mother hand in hand.The queen mother handed them a piece of hibiscus cake with a smile on her face, watching them sitting on the chairs holding the pastry and eating it, Taining gave a red envelope alone, and joked at this time: "Brother Mao is more like Miao Yun's Son, stand with Xiao Xian like a brother."

The queen mother smiled and said: "Xiaoxian looks like Miaoyun, and Brother Mao looks like Xu Jinghuan. These two brothers are naturally similar."

Taining teased Brother Mao: "Brother Mao, your parents are back, why don't you go home for the New Year?"

Brother Mao is a little confused, as if he doesn't understand what it means to go home. In his mind, the palace is his home.So he said: "I want to celebrate the New Year with my aunt."

Taining smiled and said, "Your aunt loves you, you still think about her. You must be so filial in the future."

Taining made a joke for a while, but Mao Geer remembered it, and asked Xu Miaoyun after returning: "Where is my home? Why did Princess Taining ask me why I didn't go home for the New Year?"

Xu Miaoyun thought for a while, and said: "The Xu family is your home. It was only because your parents were in Shanxi that they couldn't take care of you, so they kept you here. My aunt likes Brother Mao, so she took you into the palace."

Brother Mao was a little sad: "That's my home. Then should I go home for the New Year?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "Didn't Brother Mao come back from home after celebrating the New Year? Did you offer incense to your ancestors with your uncle on New Year's Eve?"

Brother Mao was still clear about this, and nodded vigorously. Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "That's all right? The Xu family is Brother Mao's home, but the palace is also Brother Mao's home. Where does Brother Mao want to live?" live there."

Brother Mao's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "I want to live in the palace, with my aunt and Xiaoxian."

And quietly said to Xu Miaoyun: "At home, my mother always hugs me and laughs, staring at me without blinking. Those eyes are scary."

Xu Miaoyun said angrily: "Have you forgotten what your aunt said? Your mother loves you the most. She hasn't seen you for a long time. She misses you so much that she keeps looking at you. How sad your mother is when you say that."

Brother Mao lowered his head in embarrassment: "I didn't tell anyone, I just told my aunt."

Xu Miaoyun was faintly proud, just because of the intimacy between her and Brother Mao, Brother Mao trusted her very much, and only told Xu Miaoyun all the whispers, sometimes Xiaoxian would come to listen to him when he saw her, Xu Miaoyun coaxed him, But he didn't even say a word that Brother Mao told her, and it was because of this that Brother Mao trusted Xu Miaoyun so much that Bo Rang and Xiao Xian who had a good relationship were jealous.

Bo Rang said: "I am also very good to him, why doesn't he whisper to me?"

Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "Everyone says aunt and nephew, that's true. My nephew naturally kissed me. If you are greedy, you can also go to your nephew."

Bo Rang said with a smile: "I don't have any nephews. Zhong Ran has been married for almost a year now, and there is still no movement. The queen mother is very anxious, and asked me why you have not moved."

Xu Miaoyun's face was slightly red, but she also felt strange in her heart. She was pregnant with Xiaoxian very smoothly, which meant that her body was fine. Later, everything went smoothly during pregnancy and childbirth, and her body also recovered very well. But Xiaoxian is three years old, and she still hasn't moved.

In fact, when Xiaoxian was just born, Bo Rang deliberately did not allow her to become pregnant. Li Bo Rang also told him in private that although Xiao Xian is the prince, it is better to be older than the younger brother. One year old and two years old, they will be about the same age at that time, maybe something will happen, if the age difference is bigger, when the younger brother grows up, Xiaoxian has already established a firm foothold, which can be reassuring.

Bo Rang only said this to Xu Miaoyun, and Xu Miaoyun was also bored in her stomach. At that time, she also hoped that it would be best not to get pregnant so soon, or give birth to a daughter. Could it be that she was thinking too much in her heart, Bodhisattva? If you know, you really won't give her a child?

Xu Miaoyun was a little worried, so she asked Xiujuan to quietly light an ever-burning lantern in Guangning Temple to pray for a child.

After the Lantern Festival, Mao Geer and Xiaoxian resumed their old school days. Xiaoxian also started to pick up his pen and practice calligraphy. He was very playful and couldn't sit still. He ran away before writing two words. Xie Yushu coaxed patiently Twice, Xiaoxian still had a playful smile, Xie Yushu asked him with a straight face: "Do you want to play or get beaten?"

Xiaoxian thought for a while, and asked Xie Yushu: "Can I play after the fight?"

Xie Yushu stopped talking, frowned and reprimanded: "You can't play after typing, you have to write!"

Xiaoxian pouted: "I don't want to write, I want to play. I haven't played enough with the rabbit lamp my mother made for me."

Xie Yushu put on a tiger face and really wanted to hit Xiaoxian, the servants at the side stepped forward to stop him, looking at Zhang Xuzhi Anshu and Brother Mao with their eyes.

In terms of title, these three are companions, not only to accompany them to study, but also to take the beatings. Now Xie Yushu disciplines Xiaoxian, they dare not stop them as servants, but if they are beaten, these three companions will naturally be the substitutes.

Xie Yushu didn't like this, he hit him with a small stick as thick as his fingers, and after only being hit twice, Xiaoxian burst into tears, and the servants stared at Xie Yushu dissatisfied.

Seeing Xiaoxian crying, Zhang Xuzhi frowned, didn't say anything, and wrote his handwriting as usual, An Shu glanced at the stick in Xie Yushu's hand, shrank his neck, and didn't say anything.
