I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 882 Children Are Debts

Yang Xi changed the way to let the kitchen stew soup to replenish her body. As the elder sister-in-law, she felt uncomfortable and had to support her. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law was there to help.

Yang Xi cared about his daughter-in-law, "Are you and the child okay?"

Tang Qinyao thanked her mother-in-law for taking care of her, "I have you protecting everything."

Yang Xi raised his hand and touched his daughter-in-law's abdomen, and it seemed that she was about to show her pregnancy, "We will rest in Huizhou for a few days before returning to the capital. The scenery in Huizhou is not bad. You and Ziheng are wandering around these days."

The son is a workaholic, and he didn't take Qinyao around after getting married. It was rare for him to go back to his hometown to accompany the pregnant Qinyao.

Tang Qinyao cared about her mother-in-law, "Mother, you have been worrying about the funeral, so you should take a good rest for a few days."

Yang Xi really needs to rest. She doesn't feel anything when she is busy, but now she feels empty and uncomfortable. She has to admit that she is too old to do what she wants.

It took another three days for Zhou Yu to come out of his sadness. This time he came out and completely let go of his knots. The mood improved and his whole body visibly visibly refreshed.

Zhou Ran and Zhou Lin both had errands, so they left their ancestral home first, but the children of the two families stayed.

Zhou Yu took the children to often go to the ethnology in the clan. Although there are schools in the county and academies in the prefecture, the ethnology in the family is still the first choice for the enlightenment of the clansmen.

Now the imperial court establishes student status, and only those who go to the schools and academies allowed by the imperial court can have academic status. However, the family's ethnology can enlighten the children of the clan, and some scholars who have obtained fame can also consult and study in the Hui nationality school.

The Zhou family has a large collection of books, and some members of the family who have achieved great fame are willing to teach their younger generations in the ethnology, so children in the family can also ask for tutoring in the ethnology when they go out to study.

This is also the advantage of having a family to rely on. Many nearby families want to send their children to the Zhou family to learn from them.

Yang Xi and his wife are the deans of the Royal Academy, and they are well-known teachers recognized by the world. The couple often teach the children in the family in the family, causing the children who are studying in schools outside to ask for leave to go home.

The Zhou family is lucky. The family has survived the troubled times. In recent years, there have been many newborns in the family. The Zhou family leader is happy but also helpless. Having more children is really noisy, and it is really a sweet burden.

Zhou Yu and his wife stayed in the family for a few more days before leaving for the capital. There are many things waiting for them in the Royal Academy.

The steam engine research that Yang Xi is preparing, she has prepared manpower and assistants, and she can devote herself to the research when she returns this time.

Zhou Yu is also very busy here. He not only has to guide the students, but also is responsible for the research of various materials.

However, the couple returned to Beijing to hold a banquet to thank the officials and friends who saw them off that day. However, because Zhou Huai was buried again, the couple did not have to observe filial piety for three years, but they had to observe the filial piety according to the day and month, which meant 27 days.

When the couple returned to Beijing, apart from going to the academy, they thanked guests behind closed doors at home, but Ziheng fell into a busy schedule. When Ziheng left Beijing, the Ministry of Rites was entertaining envoys from various countries.

Now Huaguo accepts the affiliation of several southern islands, and the Ministry of Rituals is extremely busy. While preparing to return the gifts, they also have to send ceremonial officials and envoys there, waiting for the kings of these countries to come to Beijing to pay homage next year.

Yang Xixuan is an activist. The reconstruction of the capital has not stopped, and now there is another garden project for raising rare animals.

Yang Xi asked if it was free. Yang Xixuan really wanted it for free at first, but changed his mind after discussing with the officials of the household department. Paying can not only reduce the burden on the court, but also make the people cherish the opportunity to watch rare animals. Not necessarily a good thing.

However, in order to take care of the people, the ticket price for entering the garden can be set cheaper.

Huaguo has a vast land and rich resources, so there are naturally many rare animals, which can be sent to Beijing after the garden is completed.

After Dingguo Mansion's filial piety ended on the 27th, the post of Dingguo Mansion's banquet was sent to all the prefectures. Dingguo Mansion rarely held banquets throughout the year, and those who got the post remembered that Dingguo's youngest son was not engaged yet.

This caused Yang Xi to see many little girls who were about the same age as Zilu on the day of the banquet at the Duke's Mansion, and the Han family also brought girls from the Ming family.

Yang Xi blinked her eyes. Although she didn't care whether her son married a girl from a noble family, she really didn't want to marry a noble like the Ming family.

The emperor will not be suspicious of Dingguo's mansion, what about the future emperor?Even if the prince has always trusted the Zhou family, what about the prince's heir?
Compared with the Zhou family with a simple population, the Ming family is too complicated and huge.

The Li family didn't bring their daughter, because the Li family knew that it was impossible with the Zhou family, and the few princes in the capital were not good friends.

Yang Xi chatted with Zhong Jin's wife, Zhu Shi, and Zhu Shi was much older, "Hey, having more children is a debt, and the girl finally got married, and there are two more in the future."

Yang Xi found out that Mrs. Zhu had gray hair, and the child was worried, "I don't think your complexion is very good, so you should pay more attention to yourself."

Zhu raised her hand and touched her face, "I really regret having so many children. The marriage between my second child and Zhong Ying made me exhausted physically and mentally. Now that my husband is the Minister of the Household Department, I dare not relax at all."

She was really afraid that her children would be plotted against, and she had a lot to say when she talked about it, "These days, many nobles have asked me about how I dare to get married. Every time I speak, I am afraid that I will fall into the pit and not get out."

Although the Zhong family also has titles, but the Zhong family is a civil servant, and several houses of the Zhong family have developed well, and the second child is working in a place with a lot of money. The Zhong family has no shortage of power and money, and there is no need for marriage. dragged into the mire.

Mrs. Zhu glanced at Yang Xi, "I heard that Zilu was studying in the palace, and a princess from a foreign country fell in love with him at first sight?"

Yang Xi, "...Don't listen to rumors and nonsense."

The nearby small country still does not give up and wants to send the princess. This time, several foreign princesses came. The Zhou family returned to Huizhou Zilu but did not see the princess. When they returned to the capital, they were taken to the palace to study. Zilu met several princesses in the palace.

This is really not to blame Zilu, the queen met several princesses, and Zilu just happened to meet.

The emperor does not accept concubines, not even the noble daughters of his own country, let alone foreign princesses, and the ministers of the Manchu court are also strongly against it. The crown prince and the second son of the emperor are young, so Zilu has caught the eyes of many people.

Yang Xi is the eldest princess of Anguo, Zilu is the second son of Dingguo Duke, and he has a title. Although he is not a prince, he is still the best choice.

Only then did rumors spread that Zilu was really wronged, but no one recognized it after a quick meeting.

Yang Xixuan and the queen suppressed the rumors, but the dignitaries in the capital still enjoyed talking about Zilu being favored by the princess.

Mrs. Zhu has also thought about getting married with the Zhou family. Zhong Jin and Mr. Zhong are no longer there. The two families are family friends, and they have a friendship of mutual support in troubled times. There is no need for marriage anymore.

Mrs. Han kept looking for an opportunity to talk to Yang Xi, and when Mrs. Zhu was attracted by other things, she seized the opportunity and moved to Yang Xi's side.

Yang Xi sighed inwardly, Han's identity was destined to become a consideration for the future of the Ming family.

Mrs. Han pulled her niece beside her, "This is the little girl of the third child in my family. This child is smart and has always admired you. I feel sorry for this child and brought her here to show you."

Yang Xi knew Han's hint, but pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for the girl from the Ming family to be admitted to the Royal Academy."

Mrs. Han pinched the veil and returned after a while, "Okay."
