Chen Bozong talked with his father for a while in Chunhetang and brought back a stack of red paper.

Red paper is the Spring Festival couplet paper that has been cut, just waiting for the black word with auspicious meaning on the host's title.

Chen Tingjian liked to write Spring Festival couplets himself when he was young. Now that his sons are fathers, Chen Tingjian has handed over the matter to his two sons from the text. The boss wrote this year and the third next year, taking turns.

Da Lang ran over to watch his father write.

Chen Bozong looked at Eye Yu Xiu: "Why isn't Wanyi here"

Yu Xiu said with a smile, "I've gone to Siyi Hall. The princess is looking for her."

Chen Bozong didn't ask any more questions.

he stood on this side of the table. Dalang sharpened the ink for him. Yu Xiu continued to sit on the couch and do needlework. The satin in his hand was just appreciated by his mother-in-law a few days ago. Yu Xiu chose a color that her mother-in-law could wear, and hurried to make a piece of silk for her mother-in-law before New Year's Eve.

all three were so quiet that Wanyi thought there was only her mother in the house. Looking at the Shu brocade on her eyes, the little girl, who was in love with beauty, stood shyly and happily outside the curtain, paused, and then pretended to open the curtain as if nothing had happened.

just stepped into a foot, Wanyi froze.

Chen Bozong looked at the door, and his eyes fell on his daughter's new cloak. Then he looked at her cramped little face. Chen Po-zong smiled and asked, "did the princess give it to you"

Wanyi nodded nervously.

she still remembers that her grandmother sent some satin that day, and her mother took out two to make new clothes for her father, but her father was not very happy, saying that the two new sets made this winter had not yet been worn.

Chen Bozong praised his daughter: "it's pretty."

Wanyi was not so relieved. She looked at her mother on the couch and explained in a low voice, "I refused with the fourth aunt, and the fourth aunt asked me to wear it with her when I went out. If it hadn't been for my uncle's sudden return, I would have changed this and come back again."

Yu Xiu's eyes are gentle: "since it is a reward from the princess, you can feel at ease to wear it, but this material is too expensive. Change it first and be careful to break it."

Wanyi nodded, said goodbye to her parents and went back to change her clothes.

Chen Bozong said to Dalang, "you should go back, too."

Da Lang left obediently.

Yu Xiu put down her needle and thread and came to help her husband grind.

while writing, Chen Bozong said, "Princess loves Wanyi. It's a blessing for Wanyi. It's just that princesses can do whatever they want, but let's not make it too public. Please tell Wanyi about this again."

Yu Xiu looked at the words he had just written and whispered, "I see."

the night that the emperor first handed out the reward, her husband told her about the situation in Chaozhong.

it is true that the emperor and his wife attach great importance to the father, and the father's new law is also beneficial to the country and the people, but it is not welcomed by other officials.

taking the examination method alone, officials from up and down could have muddled through, turning big and small matters into trivial matters to the people, and flattering Shangfeng to give some filial piety, officials should be relaxed, how comfortable life is. But the imperial court wants to strictly assess the political achievements of officials, and if they fail to do a good job, they will be fined, lose their salaries or even lose their heads, which is equivalent to a few whips on the top of their heads, and those slick officials are naturally unwilling to do so.

the lazy policies of local officials are all indulged by senior officials step by step, and the father-in-law proposed a new law, which clearly told the emperor that the officials of the Ministry of officials were a group of wine bags and rice bags.

now the father is famous in front of the emperor, but other officials want to hold him down. The easiest way is to keep an eye on the father and the Chen family. Once someone makes a mistake, it is best to make a big mistake. Even a small mistake can go to the emperor and alienate him little by little.

Chen Jiasu came to be thrifty and suddenly went out to show off in a Shu brocade. He was suspected of taking credit for it.

.

New Year's Eve this evening, the Chen family gathered together for a big New year's Eve dinner.

Huayang looked at his father's side several times.

in the past six months, the father left early and returned late. In fact, Huayang seldom had a chance to see him. The more so, the easier it is for Huayang to detect any changes in his father.

Tonight, Huayang noticed that his father had black hair when he was in Lingzhou, but now he has silver thread and deeper wrinkles in the corners of his eyes.

Huayang drooped his eyes and felt a little sour in his heart.

painstaking efforts will speed up a person's old age, and other officials are only willing to cooperate with his father, but those people all want to fight against his father and try every means to force him to give up. Although father has the support of his father, he still has to face endless troubles and obstacles in the early days of the implementation of the new law.

the father-in-law had a hidden illness in his previous life, and he lost a son during the busy state affairs. If it were not for being too tired and painful, the father-in-law would not have gone to his fifties.

compared with the complex emotions of Huayang, Chen Tingjian is very happy this New year.

he doesn't care how those officials impeach and resist him. As long as the emperor and are on his side, and as long as he is the first assistant in the cabinet, the officials below have to listen to him and act in accordance with the new law.

the new law can be implemented, the people can be at ease, the state treasury can be filled, and the imperial court also has silver pay to support troops, but the rest is not worth mentioning.

after the banquet was over, Huayang and Chen Jingzong went to the Siyi Hall first.

this street is full of dignitaries. Some houses are setting off fireworks and some houses have hired troupes. On the contrary, New Year's Eve, the Chen family, has the most desolate life.

the wind passed through the corridor, making people do not want to talk. When he entered the room and sat on the warm couch, his hands and feet warmed up, and Huayang chatted with Chen Jingzong: "have you noticed that my father is much older than when we first returned to Beijing"

Chen Jingzong gave her a meaningful look.

Huayang: "Don't talk about what you don't have. Even if you stay in the health office every day, you should know a thing or two about the situation in Chaotang."

Chen Jingzong certainly knew that the old man had specially called the three brothers to instruct them to behave themselves and not to give others a handle.

"he chose his own path, and it is useless for you to feel sorry for him." Chen Jingzong drank hot tea and faced the glazed window.

the window was dark, and the glazed window was more like a mirror, showing his face clearly.

Chen Jingzong saw the shadow of the old man on that face.

he sniffed and looked at Huayang.

Huayang is silent.

does she love her father-in-law There must be

, admiration, guilt and heartache, but she knows full well that her father-in-law's taking this road means a lot of danger, so she still doesn't want to dissuade her.

because she is a princess, her heart is more inclined to the royal court and the imperial court, she wants her father to adhere to his new law, to thoroughly regulate officialdom and restore the administration of officials.

in other words, when she tries to protect her father, she just wants to take advantage of his talent.

"what about you has anyone been bothering you these months" Huayang changed the subject and said that she had never talked about this with Chen Jingzong in her last life.

Chen Jingzong: "are you caring about me"

Huayang: "you are my horse. Is it not normal for me to care about you"

Chen Jingzong: "it's normal. I've been married for three years. I just waited until this time, and I'm a little flattered."

Huayang glared at him.

she cares about him a lot, not just this time.

Chen Jingzong smiled: "I'm fine. I spend most of my time in the health office. The eldest brother, the third brother, who deal with officials every day, may be excluded."adult emperor.Chen Tingjian is sure that Emperor Yuanyou will always listen to him, and the former emperor's support for orphans, the effectiveness of reform, and his personal power are all sufficient...
