In the morning of the second day, Zheng Wuji went to the palace to report on his duties.
The emperor praised Zheng Wuji in front of all the civil and military officials: "Since Zheng Aiqing arrived in Chenzhou, he has built water conservancy projects and established schools; he has eradicated bad habits and punished powerful people.
Benefiting for a hundred years, it will be beneficial for thousands of years. It will be of great merit to the country and the people.
I am deeply gratified.”
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise. This is the duty of a minister." Zheng Wuji was respectful and humble.
"I have read the Wanmin book written by the people of Chenzhou. I have already ordered people to put it on display and inform the officials of various states and counties. Let them see what kind of official is a good official who is loved by the people." The emperor said, "
No matter which dynasty or generation, there are never too many such officials."
Listening, other officials knew that the emperor was very satisfied with Zheng Wuji.
This was the first time they heard such praise from the emperor.
After leaving the court, many people immediately gathered around and chatted with Zheng Wuji.
Everyone knows that he will surely occupy an important position in the near future.
Because Zheng Wuji is not only talented, but also has a strong network of connections.
His wife has a close relationship with the current queen and Mrs. Dingbei.
There are also his aunt's Lu family, father-in-law Xu family, and Chen family's Ke family, all of whom play an important role in the officialdom.
The emperor gave Zheng Wuji half a month's leave.
After Zheng Wuji returned, he accompanied Xu Chunjun back to his parents' home.
"While you have time now and you are well, go back and stay for a while.
In a few days, I may have to be busy again, and you have to be busy with Chinese New Year matters, so you won’t be able to stay at your parents’ house for a long time.” Zheng Wuji took Xu Chunjun’s hand and said, “We have been going out for the past few years, gathering with family members.
Less and more.
Besides, you will have a baby after the Chinese New Year, and it will take a long time before you can return to your parents' home."
"Everyone says I worry, but I still want you to worry about me." Xu Chunjun smiled.
"I love my own daughter-in-law." Zheng Wuji also smiled, "If I don't love you, who will love you?"
When we arrived at Xu's house, everyone was there except the eldest master and the second master.
Xu Chunjun and Zheng Wuji took their two children to greet the elders one by one. They were naturally happy to see that the elders were both physically and mentally healthy.
Xu Lang also came with his two sons.
When everyone saw Xu Chunjun, they all smiled happily, and even rushed to hold the two children.
"Hey, you, these little beauties." Ms. Song couldn't stop praising them, "They are just like withered white jade."
"Second sister-in-law likes her so much, so she might as well give birth to one herself." Xu Chunjun said with a smile.
"Hey, my two sons are giving me a headache." Ms. Song shook her head with a wry smile, "I'm afraid I'll have another son again."
"I know you are coming back today, and the children have all taken leave from school." Xu Lang hugged Aluan and said with a smile, "Now we are regretting it. We have caused a whole yard of monkeys in the sky, making the adults uneasy.
.”
"It's so lively and lively. Sinan Siyi has grown so tall, but I still can't tell them apart." Xu Chunjun looked at the jubilant scene and felt happy in his heart, "Brother Bai and
Brother Song has grown into a young man."
"No, children grow up the fastest." Xu Lang couldn't help but sigh, "Your third brother's child is also smart, even though he is only over one year old."
"Yes, I hugged him for a while just now, and I didn't recognize him at all." Xu Chunjun said.
Xu Daoqing's child is also a boy, white, fat and very cute.
"Dao Kai is also getting engaged." Bai came over and said, "He is the youngest. He was only twelve years old when he first came to Beijing."
"Is there anything you need my help with?" Xu Chunjun asked quickly after hearing this.
"My aunt, please take a rest! You don't even look at yourself." After hearing this, the second wife Sun said, "There are so many idle people like us, how can we tire you?"
"By the way, aunt, I heard that my uncle went to the palace to serve as a chamberlain for the prince?" Xu Chunjun asked Xu Lang.
"Yes, he doesn't care about things in the school." Xu Lang said with a smile, "Mr. Liu is in charge there now."
"My uncle is very knowledgeable, so it is reasonable for him to be recruited." Xu Chunjun said, "Dao Qi wrote to me about this. He also said that Mr. Liu's explanation was too detailed and he couldn't understand it."
"This kid Dao Qi is too smart. Mr. Liu can no longer teach him, so I need to find another teacher." Xu Lang said.
"Does uncle recommend anyone suitable?" Xu Chunjun was very concerned about his younger brother's studies.
Xu Lang whispered to him: "The emperor and the queen want to find two companions for the prince. Your uncle said that he wants Dao Qi to go."
"What about thinking about difficulties and thinking about meaning?" Xu Chunjun asked.
"That kid Siyi is fine, but Sinan is not willing to study at all, so we can't let him go." Xu Lang said quickly, "He is quite good at getting into trouble."
"Auntie, don't say that. If Sinan doesn't like reading, maybe his destiny lies elsewhere. God and everyone always have their own uses." Xu Chunjun said.
"Let them go. I am old enough to have a son. As long as they don't do evil and know good and evil, I won't ask for anything else." Xu Lang said.
Mrs. Qin walked over with a smile and said: "Fifth girl, I have been busy behind the scenes, and I just came to see you now. Is everything okay?"
"Everything is okay, madam?" Xu Chunjun smiled and took Qin's hand, "I will make you work hard as soon as I come back."
"Isn't this the right thing to do? Don't say such unreasonable things. Everyone will miss you." Ms. Qin is now the mother of the third house owner. She is smart, capable and very popular.
She talked to Xu Chunjun for a while and then had to go to work again: "You sit down, I have to look behind you."
"Madam, go and do your work. I'll do whatever I want when I get home." Xu Chunjun said with a busy smile.
After chatting about family matters for a while, Xu Lang asked Xu Chunjun in a low voice: "Wuji has received praise from the emperor. He will definitely be promoted when he returns to Beijing this time."
"I dare not say this." Xu Chunjun has always been prudent, "Eating the emperor's salary is the only thing to be loyal to the emperor. As ministers, we only need to obey the orders, and we dare not think about anything else."
"You are too cautious." Xu Lang smiled, "I keep my words in mind, Wuji will definitely be promoted this time, and most likely he will stay in the capital."
Xu Chunjun said nothing, but the children just rushed in and started making noises, saying they were going to set off firecrackers.
Mrs. Song said: "What time is this? We are about to set off firecrackers. Go out and have fun for a while, don't go to school and just mess around at home."
"The third sister-in-law has returned to her parents' home. I heard that her mother is not well?" Xu Chunjun asked.
"No, she said when she left a few days ago that she originally wanted to wait for you at home, but who would have thought that something would happen to her parents' family." Ms. Song said, "The third daughter-in-law is the best."
"When I have free time tomorrow, let's go to the third sister-in-law's parents' house to have a look." Xu Chunjun said after hearing this, "This will not only make the third sister-in-law look good, but also add glory to the third brother's face."
"I went to see it yesterday. If you go again, just ask your sister-in-law to accompany you." Mrs. Song said, "You are always so considerate in etiquette."
After a while, it was time to have lunch. The maids shuttled around to serve the food. The room was filled with wine and coriander, and everyone was laughing and having a good time. This chapter has been completed!
