farmer's husband

Chapter 490 They Are Not The Ones They Were Back then
Chai Dong expected well.

In the autumn, the Ministry of Officials conducted a unified performance appraisal of officials who had worked in a position for three years. Chai Dong was rated as excellent for three years, and he was promoted to serve as a censor. At least he entered the ranks of sixth-rank officials.

Wang Zongping also got two good and one excellent, and he stumbled to the position of editor of the Sixth Rank Imperial Academy.

Just at this time, his wife gave him another son.Double happiness is coming, this guy couldn't help but hold a banquet at home to celebrate, and even sent a message to Chai Dong.

Chun Zhi looked at the invitation card over and over for a long time before she looked at Chai Dong. "Do you think he was so happy that his brain went wrong that he even sent us an invitation card!"

"It's okay to send us an invitation card!" Chai Dong nodded solemnly, "We are from the same township, and we are Jinshi in the same discipline, and we have entered the top three together. Now that he has a happy event at home, of course he can't forget me. By the way...he also It is really necessary to find an opportunity to thank me properly.”

Chunzhi raised his eyebrows. "How do you say that?"

"First, he has been valued by the crown prince in the past two years, mainly because the business of Yizhichun outside has become more and more prosperous. Up to now, almost every province that is worthy of the name has branches. The profits of these stores are added to the At the same time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the money is getting rich every day, most of the money is in the pocket of the prince! Just for this money, the prince will not treat him badly. But the reason why Yizhichun can develop is not all. Is it because of you?" Chai Dong said quietly.

"This is the first. The second is that in the past few months, the eldest son of the crown prince went directly to work in the farmer's house. This time, he worked hard for two or three months, just in time for the busy farming season. He was dry and thin from the sun. Not to mention, he went to work in the fields every day, and when he returned home at night, he would light an oil lamp to write down his thoughts on the field. At the end, he would look back on the hardships of the past few months and do it again. He made a summary. His summary is simple and solid, full of understanding of the sufferings of the people, and even gave some solutions. This article is much more in-depth than that of Prince Qin, and the emperor praised it after reading it He made a pass. Now, the crown prince's face has been saved."

Haruka blinked. "Could it be that Wang Zongping helped plan this matter?"

"Isn't it him?" Chai Dong snorted coldly, "Only he can think of such a bad move. Since they have already been taken one step ahead, they can only work hard on the depth. Even, even the emperor The letters and summaries of the eldest grandson were also edited by him. Otherwise, you would be empathized so easily when you are the emperor?"

Chunzhi looked at him speechlessly. "It's as if you didn't help out with the idea of ​​the article by Prince Qin's son."

"I didn't have one in the first place. Boy Li wrote it for me." Chai Dong responded without shame.

Harue almost sprayed.

"Isn't that about the same? You two are the same, you are not much better!"

"Well, I researched this matter first, and he just picked up a ready-made one, so he is not as good as me. I have the right to stare at him!" Chai Dong said coldly.

"That's true." Chun Zhi nodded, "Then, shall we go to his family's banquet?"

"Go, why not?" Chai Dong chuckled, "I want to see what new tricks he can come up with in front of me."

"Well, I'll bring Li and Pan girl with me too. It's been a long time since I met and talked with the Chu family! Li boy and Pan must want to show her too." Chun Zhi nodded hastily.

Although they are in the same capital as the Chu family, but because their husbands have different positions now, the two of them naturally avoid each other.Moreover, the two of them have more and more things at hand, and they can't see all the people around them, so where will they have the time to meet and reunite?
So now is also a ready opportunity.The two of them met and chatted, at least they could relieve their longing after being separated for such a long time.

Chai Dong also nodded. "By the way, let's also eat authentic Wangjiacun dishes."

Chun Zhi was taken aback again, she really wanted to roll her eyes now.

"If you want to eat, you want to eat. Why are you looking for so many reasons for yourself?" She said angrily.

"Well, what I really miss the most is the food in Wangjiacun." Chai Dong readily nodded and admitted.

The customs in the south are different, even in the two adjacent villages, the cooking tastes and specialties in the villages are slightly different.Chaidong was used to the food in Wang's Village since he was a child, and now he came to the capital. Although the family hired a cook from Sanjiang Province, the taste was still slightly different from the food he had when he was a child.Therefore, the longer the time, the more he missed the familiar taste.

And Wang Zongping is because he is a native of Wangjia Village.Now that he has come to the capital to be an official, many clansmen have come to join him.However, his grandfather was the patriarch, so those who came to join him had to go through his grandfather's test before being released.Therefore, these people's characters are not bad, and they came out to hang out with Wang Zongping just for food and clothing, and by the way, to imbue themselves with the taste of the capital, so that they can show off to the villagers when they go back.

One of the cooks in their house is Wang Zongping's family aunt, who can cook authentic Wangjiacun dishes.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to come over to satisfy his hunger, how could he refuse?

Chunzhi shook his head. "Then let's go! By the way, I will also try the authentic hometown flavor."

Although the taste of Wangjiacun is still different from that of Gujiacun, she is satisfied if she can taste similar ones in the capital.

So the matter was settled.

Li Xiaozi knew that he was going to meet Xiu girl, and he was also very happy.

"I want to take Xiao Hei! Now in Prince Qin's Mansion, I can't be with Xiao Hei every day, I almost miss him! It just so happens that girl Xiu also likes Xiao Hei, so I'll let her touch Xiao Hei again!"

Hope girl also nodded. "I like sister Xiu, sister Xiu is beautiful!"

"Well, she should be more beautiful now!" Chunzhi nodded.

As it turns out, this is indeed the case.

In the blink of an eye, Xiuyatou has also grown into a nine-year-old girl.

The little girl doll is like a lotus flower that has just budded, standing there gracefully, so gentle and beautiful that Chun Zhi could hardly see it.

"Hello, Auntie." Girl Xiu walked over slowly, and bowed to salute her.

Chun Zhi quickly responded, and she smiled at Mrs. Chu over there. "Xiu girl, the longer the better. If this goes on like this, the people who come to propose marriage in the future will probably step through the threshold!"

"How can it be so exaggerated? This is the capital city, and there are countless beautiful and gentle girls in the capital city, and Xiu girl is not outstanding in it. Besides, her father and I didn't expect her to climb a high branch. Now, we I just hope that she can grow up safely and marry into a well-matched family." Chu said with a smile.

Seeing the satisfied smile in her eyes, it was clear that she was very satisfied with this daughter.

While the two of them were talking, Li Xiaozi had already put his arms around Xiao Hei and approached Xiu girl on his own initiative.

"Sister Xiu, look, Xiao Hei! Do you want to touch it?"

The girl Xiu, who was quiet just now, immediately lit up her eyes. "Yeah!"

She nodded hastily, and reached out to touch the little black head.Immediately, her eyes narrowed into a smile.

But Xiao Hei hadn't seen Girl Xiu for a long time, so he was a little repulsed at first.But Li Xiaozi gently comforted it a few times, and it slowly relaxed, lying there and letting Xiu girl touch it.

And just as Xiu girl was stroking Xiao Hei joyfully, there was another meowing sound from the side, and soon several black, white and white cats appeared.The white cat walking in the front quickly barked at Xiao Hei a few times, and Xiao Hei immediately responded with a meow, and immediately broke free from Li Xiaozi's control, and jumped in front of the white cat to reunite with it.

"Wow, Xiaobai still remembers Xiaohei!" When girl Pan saw this, she couldn't help clapping her hands with joy.

Chu and Chun Zhi saw this scene in their eyes, and both of them were filled with emotion.

"In a blink of an eye, we have all been in the capital for three years, the children have grown up so much, and the cats have also grown old." Chu sighed in a low voice, and her eyes gradually shifted to the third son who was dozing at Chun Zhi's feet On him, "Little Sanzi is also old. But, is he still without a companion?"

Then she was wrong about this, the third son has companions!Moreover, it is a very powerful companion!
Thinking of the serval cat hiding in the village outside the city, a smile appeared on Chun Zhi's face.

She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but when she met Chu's eyes, she swallowed back the words when she reached her mouth.

She should stop saying such things!Otherwise, it would be bad to bring disaster to Chai Dong.

Chai Dong is right.After all, they are no longer who they used to be.
