Chapter 1409： A long way to go

It was five days in a blink of an eye, and Zhulan motioned to Yao Yao to sit down, "Sit down, let me see the twins."

Because of Rong Yuyu's relationship, Yao Yao didn't have anything necessary to do, and seldom came to Zhou Mansion, she didn't want to make the old man unhappy.

Yao Yao pushed her twin daughters' backs and said with a smile, "These two girls are still talking about missing you at home, and I'm sorry when you arrive."

Zhulan hugged the twins, which was rare, so she kissed them one by one and said, "The older these two children are, the better they can be distinguished."

"Yes, the big one is like me, and the small one is like their father."

Zhu Lan said to Yao Yao, "A few days ago, the old man was talking about a few children. I asked Qingxue to bring the twins over to see the old man?"

Yao Yao is naturally willing, "Okay."

Zhulan waited for the child to leave, and asked, "But something?"

Yao Yao nodded, "The two girls should be literate. I'm thinking about asking them a husband. You also know that I rarely go out of the house, so I have the cheek to ask you here. Please help introduce a gentleman."

In fact, she was even more shy about the husband of Zhou Mansion, or sent her daughter to Zhou Mansion. It would be better if she could get the advice of the old lady, but unfortunately she didn't dare to open her mouth no matter how thick-skinned she was. The Zhou family has helped the Hou Mansion too much these years.

Zhulan thought that what was the big deal, she had the most experience in asking her husband, and she had found all the husbands in her family, so she already had a candidate in mind.

Zhulan pondered, "Tomorrow, I will invite Mr. to come to the house. Come and see if it suits you and stay. If it doesn't suit me, I will help you find it."

Yao Yao said embarrassedly, "It's been too much trouble for you these years."

Zhulan waved her hand, "No trouble."

It's all trivial matters, and Rong Enqing and his wife are not greedy people.

In Lijia Village, the prince and his party left the village. Mingrui heard the sound of the children reciting the Three-Character Classic in the carriage. He pushed the window of the car and looked back. The children in the village basically came and saw them off with the Three-Character Classic.

Mingrui's heart rose, and he stretched out his hand and waved. In just a few days, he and the children made progress together. The child is literate, and he is the progress of the mind.

Shangguan Liu didn't sit in his carriage, but rubbed against Mingrui's carriage, "I'm moved."

Mingrui, "Well, what we think is trivial, for these children, it may be a big change in fate."

Shangguan Liu nodded, "Yes, when the children know how to write their names, I will never forget the eyes of the children."

He was deeply touched. He was born in a Shangguan family, and he was born with responsibility. Reading and literacy was a necessary education. There are too many children in the world. I can't even write my own name.

In the prince's carriage, King Qi looked at the prince when he heard the Three Character Classic. In the past few days, he would go to Zhou Mingrui's teaching class when he had nothing to do. Zhou Mingrui was not pretending. He uses the most words. When he is not teaching, he will tell the children what he has seen and heard along the way, so that the children know the changes outside.

Zhou Mingrui will answer the children's questions patiently, tsk tsk, the Zhou family really knows how to raise children.

The prince was touched a lot. His identity determined the overall situation of his thoughts. He saw the situation of the whole country from the children.

How many people in the country are illiterate, no, how many people in the country are literate?

The prince fell into contemplation. Now the imperial court's monthly brochures will bring some simple characters. My uncle said that people who want to read will have the opportunity to read. The uncle also said that although the effect is slow, there is no effect if you don't do it.

When the prince thought about Zhou Shangshu's teaching him, he mentioned some vices in the states, and when he thought about the education that Zhou Shangshu said, the prince felt heavy in his heart and looked out of the carriage, feeling that he had a long way to go.

Qizhou, Chang Lian stood by the window, frowning and looking out of the window worriedly. The wind was raging outside, and many branches in the yard were broken. The wind was mixed with pea-sized raindrops, which cracked on the glass, making people feel I was worried that the glass would shatter.

Holding his son, Mr. Dong said worriedly, "It's the first time I've encountered such a strong wind in Qizhou for a few years."

The lanterns hanging outside the door had long been blown, and Dong shi couldn't help but look up at the roof of the shed as he listened to the howling wind.

Chang Lian patted the lady on the shoulder soothingly, and held his son in his arms again, the little guy was terrified.

Not to mention the little guy, the servants in the family were terrified and frightened.

The gust of wind came and went quickly. In ancient times, there was no warning, and many people in the city who did not have time to escape were hit by the tiles lifted by the wind.

Chang Lian came out of the house. The exquisite yard was in a mess. Some of the flowers in the yard were directly broken, some petals were gone, and the bonsai was also collapsed. Fortunately, only two servants in the house suffered some minor injuries. .

Dong shi patted his heart with lingering fears, "It's scary."

Chang Lian said, "I'll go to the yamen to see."

Dong shi said worriedly: "Be careful."

Chang Lian nodded, "Go back to the house too, it's still raining, don't get cold."

"good."

Chang Lian took the carriage to the yamen and looked at the situation on the street. The situation in the city was not a big problem, and he was more worried about the nearby villages.

In the household department of the capital, Qiu Yan looked out the window, "The temperature this year is lower than the same period last year."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

Qiu Yan, "You said this year, bah bah What do I think, this year must be a good year with good weather."

Zhou Shuren was not as optimistic as Qiu Yan. He remembered that there was a Little Ice Age in history, "You are not just here to discuss the weather with me."

Qiu Yan didn't want to talk about the weather. "The emperor has built four glass sheds this month, and I spent two more sheds from the account book."

Zhou Shuren, "What do you want to ask?"

Qiu Yan wanted to ask what these shacks were used for. Several shacks had spent a lot of money, so it was obvious how big each shack was.

Zhou Shuren did know that these sheds were requested by the Emperor Taishang, and that the sheds were used to cultivate high-quality grain seeds. Now the Emperor Taishang is only focused on crops.

Qiu Yan was not out of curiosity, but distressed for such a large amount of expenditure, "I just feel distressed."

Zhou Shuren didn't feel bad at all, "Don't ask, you'll know after a while."

When Qiu Yan heard this, the most embarrassing Shangshu in the Ministry of Household did not feel distressed, so it was a good thing.

In the Wang family, Yu Lu's belly is very big, and the child will be born in a while. Yu Lu wants to go back to her parents' house for a few days, but she doesn't know how to speak.

The big family is just not good, there are too many concerns. After sister Yushuang gets married, she can go back to her parents' house at any time to live, but she can't.

Once she goes back to her mother's house for a few days, she still doesn't know what to say, whether she is angry at Wang's house, etc.

There are too many people in the Zhou family who are jealous, so they can't wait for more rumors about the Zhou family.

Yulu sighed depressedly. In the past, Sister Yushuang was in the capital and could come to see her from time to time, but now she doesn't even have anyone to talk to. As for Wang Hua, she would rather stay by herself.

When Wang Wei came in, he saw the lady sighing, "Not happy?"

Yulu shook her head, "I just miss the eldest sister a little, and I don't know if the eldest sister has been doing well in Zhangzhou."
