auspicious time has come

When Gu Tingnan's letter was delivered to the capital, it was almost New Year's Eve.

King Fanyang's Mansion in the capital was rebuilt and expanded from the original Shu Guogong Mansion.

As soon as Heng Yu returned home from the Chongwen Museum in the palace, the female envoy of the palace handed the letter to her.

After reading the letter, Hengyu couldn't help but smile.

A few days ago, her family's Xiao Jingshi also mentioned that from now on, Vice General Wang will be in charge of military affairs in Yingzhou, and now Vice General Wang will become a complete son-in-law of Yingzhou, such an arrangement is more and more suitable.

From then on, Sister Gu and Deputy General Wang can stay in Yingzhou forever, and they can stay together as they wish, without getting involved in unnecessary discussions.

Hengyu's brows and eyes stretched, and just as she put the letter down, she heard footsteps and chatter and laughter coming from outside the window.

"Little aunt is back!"

It was Ah Shu's voice.

There are also Mrs. Xiao and Jiji Chunjuan and the others.

Although Hengyu lives in Prince Fanyang's mansion now, the two families seem to have become a family in Jishi, both sides are homes, and Ah Shu will come to live here every now and then.

There were few people in the palace, there was a little girl laughing and laughing, Madam Xiao was also very happy.

As for Jiji——Hengyu and Shi Jingzhi have only been married for a few months, the sage thought of their newlyweds, and as the year was approaching, he temporarily left Shi Jingzhi in the capital, thinking that it would not be too late to return to the fief after the year.In this way, Meng Dazhu and others also stayed, and Jiji followed and lived in the palace to accompany Hengyu, occasionally taking care of Hengyu's daily life as before.

Over the past few months, relatives have been by my side, and sometimes when I miss my grandmother when I go out of the palace, I will tell Uncle Ping to go straight to Yankangfang. up.

All these are because Hengyu didn't get the so-called "marrying out" experience at all, and because he was busy with Chongwen Museum, his life was busy and happy, and people were doing what they liked, so they were always full of energy and vigor.

At this time, she changed her official uniform, Cuihuai put on a snow fox fur cape, and accompanied Ah Shu to the courtyard to build a snowman and have a snowball fight.

Jiji, Chunjuan and others also joined in. Ah Shu lost her footing, "Ah yo!" and fell down in the snow nest. When she was lifted up by the maid, her face was covered with snow, and she just resumed walking. Mrs. Xiao, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, bent over with a smile.

With laughter one after another, and because they knew their master's disposition, the female envoys became less embarrassed, and they were no longer "relentless" when they hit snowballs.

Heng Yu was also very happy, bent down and grabbed a handful of snow, balled it in his hands, raised his hand with a smile and smashed it out forcefully.

The two female envoys hurriedly pushed each other to dodge, the snowball that flew straight out just happened to fly out of the heads of the two of them, but it never hit the air——

The not-so-compact snowball hit the broad shoulders of the dark purple official robe and black cloak, and instantly disintegrated into snow powder splashes.

"My lord is back!"

The female envoys hurriedly retreated to the side and saluted.

Shi Jingzhi raised his hand and gently swept the snow on his shoulders, walked towards Hengyu with a smile on his brow.

"Why don't you hide, this is trying to blackmail me—" Heng Yu patted the snow scum on his hands and looked at the person coming.

If he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to avoid this snowball.

"Nowadays, everyone in the court knows that Bachelor Ji in the Chongwen Hall is busy building a women's school. He has received funding from saints and many like-minded people. His hands are really rich. No one wants to make a fuss when they see it—" Jingzhi said in a natural tone.

While speaking, he took her hands that were red from the cold and put them under his cloak, the two bickered and laughed and walked towards Mrs. Xiao together.

In the evening, before going to bed, the couple talked about the troubles of the saint recently——

"...The old-fashioned faction who insisted on opposing your appointment as a scholar in the Chongwenkan in the past probably recovered their senses recently." Shi Jingzhi said with a smile as he lay there.

After the shocking Chongwenguan debate before, the voice of opposition from the court did not completely dissipate immediately.

Those who oppose it always have endless arguments, and some veterans even resorted to the act of hitting the pole——

The sage summoned those people to the Palace of Manna in private, shunned all the palace people, and put on a posture of wanting to talk to the princes.

"There are some things that I didn't intend to say explicitly, but dear friends..."

"I want Mrs. Ji to become a scholar of Chongwenguan, but I actually have other intentions... I and King Fan Yang have been friends since we were young, but once we become king, we have to think about the long-term..."

"The purpose of rewarding King Fan Yang is to stabilize Lu Long's army, and also to use King Fan Yang to deter those who are rebellious... I can't leave King Fan Yang now, but I have to be careful..."

"It's too early to release him to Fan Yang at this time...Fan Yang Wang has only one weakness, and that is Xinyue Ji's wife. This marriage is bound to happen. I have already seen it. After getting married, this person must be a full-fledged wife-slave... If I use the vain title of a scholar of Chongwenguan to keep Lady Ji in the palace, King Fan Yang must have scruples, and besides being kind, he can restrain her For its..."

The ministers were stunned.

"I see……"

"The sage is really far-sighted, but the ministers see it superficially!"

"I am ashamed that I failed to understand His Majesty's deep meaning."

"The sage should have said it earlier..." The minister who had hit the post before, but now his head was still wrapped in a wound cloth, sighed.

In this way, after a few people considered it, they put away their voices of opposition.

And after the few people left, I saw the far-sighted saint stand up and asked the young man who came out of the side hall: "How is my performance just now? Do you look suspicious?"

In this way, Hengyu was able to successfully sit on the position of Bachelor of Chongwenguan.

"Come back when you come back to your senses, it's too late anyway, let's ignore them." Heng Yu closed her eyes, and said in a tone that was nothing to do with her: "Let the saint worry about it."

Regarding her attitude, Shi Jingzhi deeply agreed: "Well, I think so too."

Heng Yu yawned: "So let's sleep."

"Hmm... go to sleep." Shi Jingzhi turned around, raised one hand to support her side, and looked at her with a smile.

The brocade is soft, it is the breath of the sun.

……

This year's New Year's Eve, Jishi and the two families got together.

The reunion dinner had just been set up, and Jiang Zhengfu, who had resigned for retirement, also came over.

Originally, Shaoyan was also invited, but Shaoyan finally made up his mind to go out of Beijing not long ago, so he took Ari for a wandering tour.

There was constant laughter during the banquet, Master Yan, Doctor Bai, Cheng Ping, and Mr. Su, who had just entered Beijing, were all very drunk.

After leaving the dining hall, Heng Yu and Shi Jingzhi raised their heads side by side, looking at the splendid fireworks in the city.

……

Years later, just after the Lantern Festival, Shi Jingzhi left Beijing.

But it's not to go to the fief, but to lead troops to fight against the chaos.

Although Li Wei's rebellion has subsided for half a year, the turmoil in various places is far from stopping.

……

In the spring of the second year of Guanning, the first women's school in Beijing was built, and the saint wrote the four characters "Defeng Academy" in his own handwriting.

Since then, there has been a group of high-spirited girls in blue and white shirts headed by Ma Yingliu in the capital.

When those blue and white colors gather in one place, it is like a new world has just opened.

……

When the women's school was first established, the two masters in the academy were none other than Ning Yu, Heng Yu's sister, and Su Lianniang, Mr. Su's daughter.

And the old incident between the two that happened two years ago is still fresh in the memory of the people in the capital——

The Cao family in the capital, the wife of the Cao family, Yun Shi, almost turned her face in anger when she heard about this.

Her husband lost his official position, and her son is still in prison... But the Ji family has been promoted steadily, and Ji Hengyu has become the first female scholar in the Dasheng Dynasty. princess!
Ji Nanxian is even more a confidant of saints now!
Not to mention, Ji Ningyu and Su Lianniang, who caused her son to come here, are still getting together to become some kind of female wife... This must be to disgust her Cao family!

But...but she can only watch helplessly now!

Yun swears non-stop, and only in this way can he barely conceal the monstrous regret in his heart——

If the quarrel with the Ji family hadn't come to such an extent back then, would the Cao family have reached the sky in one step now?

She didn't even dare to face this thought.

……

Spring is getting darker, and before you know it, it will be summer.

After the midday class in the Chongwen Museum, Jiayi whispered to Hengyu, "Teacher, I've checked Father and Auntie, and it looks like it's done!"

The girl's eyes and tone were full of anticipation and excitement that couldn't be concealed.

"Then let's set off on another day." Heng Yu also had joyful eyes, thinking about it: "Well... let me think about where to go first."

"Yeah!" Jiayi nodded her head, her eyes turned into crescent moons.

……

On the eve of leaving Beijing for a study tour, Jiayi went to the queen's bedroom and sat in front of a cradle, gently shaking the baby inside.

The nine-year-old girl had already begun to show signs of twitching. At this time, she was sitting there with a serious expression. Nanny Xiang saw it through the bead curtain, and she couldn't help sighing softly: "The princess has really grown up..."

"Yes." The queen nodded with a smile: "Since she chose Ah Heng as her teacher, she has grown up."

She gave birth in the first month and gave birth to her second daughter.

Another daughter—

When the medical officer Wenpo announced the good news, she could not hide her cautiousness, for fear of showing strange colors and offending her, the queen who has never given birth to a dragon child so far.

She felt fine, no, fine.

Now that she knew His Majesty's intentions, she felt relieved.

It's just that the only worrying thing is that the little baby's body is not too healthy... After all, she experienced a turmoil when she was pregnant. She was frightened and frightened, and it was a blessing that the baby was able to survive smoothly.

Beside the cradle, seeing the little baby falling asleep with eyes closed, Jiayi stopped shaking the cradle, got up and bent down to kiss the soft little face, and whispered earnestly: "Xiao Linger... ...Auntie will definitely protect you."

——in various senses.

……

The news that Hengyu and Princess Jiayi left Beijing for a study tour did not spread in the court until after the two left.

Political affairs are complicated. Although this matter is "fresh", no one cares too much - after all, that Scholar Ji himself is already "fresh" to the extreme.

Besides, it's good to leave, they can be less worried, and it happens to be quiet and quiet-the officials in the court who had a lot of opinions on Hengyu only regretted that the news was learned too late, and they didn't have time to set off firecrackers to send them off. I can eat an extra bowl of rice that night to make up for the regret.
