It turned out that Huang Chengyan had come to Cai Tao's Mansion at the end of the two months. The main purpose of this was of course to be able to take a look at the Jingzhou briefing for that month. And every time A Chou came, he would take the opportunity to go back to the prefecture, she didn't know whether to see her aunt or Liu Yu.
However, Ma Yun found the opportunity to observe her twice. Sure enough, there was a slight change in the position of the birthmark on this little girl's face. Although this kind of change is very small, ordinary people can't even notice it if they don't pay attention, but Ma Yun's eyes are very vicious. When Liu Xin's clever disguise was seen by her, this flaw naturally couldn't escape her eyes. Not only that, Ma Yun also found that A Chou's skin tone and hair color were slightly different in comparison between the two. These differences can only be discovered by Ma Yun, who has paid special attention and is as careful as a hair.
When Huang Chengyan heard Cai Hao's question, he couldn't help being angry and funny, and said, "Degui, can't I come until the end of the month? I'm not here to read the briefing, but to help you advise."
Cai Hao said repeatedly: "Yes, you are right, sister-in-law, you are here at the right time, help me give pointers, this time I can't make any more mistakes."
Huang Chengyan received the happy news sent by Cai Hao and was shocked. He did not understand why Liu Xin valued Cai Hao so much and gave him such an important position as the prefect of Xiangyang. It is also the prefect. As the prefecture of Xiangyang, the prefect of Xiangyang is obviously higher than the other eight counties of Jingxiang, just like the mayor of an ordinary prefecture-level city is compared with the mayor of a provincial capital city. Since it is a prefecture, Xiangyang's personnel and social relations must be much more complicated, and it is natural to be more careful when dealing with it. Huang Chengyan is very afraid that Cai Hao will not be able to handle it.
There are two sides to everything, but Liu Xin looked at it from a different perspective for the appointment of Cai Tao as the prefect of Xiangyang. Cai Hao represented the Cai family, the leading family in Jingzhou, and when he arrived in Jingzhou, the Cai family stood on his side with a clear-cut stand. The position given to Cai Hao should not be too bad, otherwise it would be overwhelming. Liu Xin now also discovered that Cai Hao did not have the ability to lead troops, but he was still competent when he was the county magistrate of Xiangyang, and now it should be no problem for him to be a prefect of Xiangyang. Besides, Liu Xin felt that if he was in Xiangyang, he didn't have to worry about Cai Hao's troubles.
Sitting in the lobby of Cai Mansion, Huang Chengyan listened to Cai Hao's plans for the future, but was relieved. As the saying goes, diligence can make up for clumsiness. Although Cai Hao is a little weaker, as long as he thinks twice before acting, nothing will go wrong.
Huang Chengyan came by himself this time. He learned about Cai Hao’s current situation. He also let go of his thoughts. He said, "Degui, you are now the prefect of Xiangyang. There are two places in Xiangyang city that I haven’t visited yet. Yes, can you take me for a walk?"
Cai Hao knew that every time he came, besides reading the newsletter, wandering around the city was also one of his compulsory courses. He couldn't help but wondered: "The stone slabs on the streets of Xiangyang City are about to be broken by you. Where else have you never been? ?"
Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "It is Xiangyang Academy and Jingzhou Research Institute."
There are three academies in Xiangyang city, medical school, academy and research institute. You can enter the medical school casually. Huang Chengyan has already visited twice. He has long heard of Zhang Ji’s medical skills. Now Zhang Ji has brought many disciples. There are patients coming in and out of the medical school from time to time, regardless of whether it is rich or poor. Huang Chengyan admires Zhang Ji and his disciples equally. Especially the plaque hanging on Zhang Ji's consultation room—the heart of the doctors' parents. It is said that Liu Zhoumu put forward the moral requirements for the practitioners, and it was written by Cai Yong, the director of Xiangyang Academy. Seeing this plaque, Huang Chengyan respected Liu Xin even more. He has changed his name to Liu Xin without knowing it, and no longer calls his name directly. Huang Chengyan also wanted to visit the academy and research institute, but there were heavy guards there, and he couldn't get in at all.
Hearing that he wanted to visit these two places, Cai Hao couldn't help but muttered: "Sister Zhang, if you want to see Xiangyang Academy, I can take you there in the afternoon. As for the research institute, I can't even go in without the master's warrant."
Huang Chengyan was deeply surprised. I didn’t expect this research institute to be really mysterious. Even Cai Hao couldn’t even look at it, so she said grimly: “Well, if you go to the research institute, forget it. If you are idle in the morning anyway, you will take me to the academy. Well, why wait until the afternoon again."
Cai Hao shook his head and said, "It's definitely not possible in the morning. Mrs. Zhou Mu personally teaches the children, how can outsiders go in casually."
Ma Yun now goes to the academy every morning and the research institute in the afternoon. Ma Yun himself doesn’t mind showing up in front of others, and Liu Xin doesn’t care about these scruples. He often encourages Bian Yu and Cai Yan to go out more, give lectures to Ma Yun, do research, what's the point? Disagree, let alone Ma Yun did this to help him. However, Liu Xin's subordinates don't think so. They have to avoid it when it is time to avoid it, which is absolutely unambiguous.
Huang Chengyan couldn't help being surprised secretly. He always thought Liu Xin was already very talented. He didn't expect that even his wife could teach the children in the college. No wonder Liu Xin's son was so smart. Huang Chengyan knew that every time A Chou clamored to see her aunt, she actually wanted to find Liu Yu Doufa. Huang Chengyan also often gave her daughter a trick behind her back, but the two sides still fought evenly. It seems that Liu Yu must also have an expert advice behind him.
Huang Chengyan has been to Yingchuan Academy many times, but after seeing Xiangyang Academy, he was very addicted to it. Not only does it occupies a larger area than Yingchuan Academy, it has more houses than Yingchuan Academy, nor is it because it has more facilities than Yingchuan Academy. Much better, but the teaching methods and content taught here. In particular, Huang Chengyan saw a mathematics notebook written by a student here. This class was taught by Mrs. Zhou Mu himself. The symbols in it looked like a heavenly book. He was amazed and wished he could secretly take the student's notes.
In August, Cai Yan gave birth to a daughter. As early as half a month ago, Cai Yong and his wife were busy, and Mrs. Cai frequently went to the backyard of the prefecture, preparing for this and that for her daughter. Ma Yun and Bian Yu had a hot eye. This is the person with her maiden’s family. Happiness. Mrs. Cai is also an experienced person. Looking at her daughter's sharp belly, she thought she was pregnant with a boy, but she gave birth to a girl. She was disappointed.
Cai Yong was ideologically patriarchal. It was his lifelong regret that he had not been able to give birth to a son. Even the memorial to the emperor mentioned him as having no queen. This time, Cai Yong had a good idea. Since Cai Yan can give birth to a daughter, one day he can also give birth to a son. All he cares about is whether Liu Xin will let his son follow his mother's surname.
In this era, it is very deviant for children to follow their mother's surname. Cai Yong can also be regarded as a defender, but now he is doing such deviant things for Liu Xin and shouting. This can also be regarded as another kind of ass deciding the head. His ass sits on the side where the incense of the Cai family continues. It is naturally not so important for the child to follow the father's surname or the mother's surname. Just like the current debate about whether or not to ban the setting of firecrackers, some people have always supported the setting of firecrackers, carrying the banner of traditional national culture. Once his family has children who want to take the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, he immediately changed his body and became the most determined. The ban on release.
When Liu Xin walked into the room, there were still tears on Cai Yan's face, and she gave birth to a daughter. She always felt a little disappointed in her heart. Cai Yan was not worried about what Liu Xin would think, she was secretly comparing herself with Bian Yu. Liu Xin knew what she was thinking, and grabbed her hand to comfort him: "Yan'er, don't think too much about it. In fact, I like boys and girls, and I even like girls a little bit more."
Cai Yan fluttered with big eyes, seeming to believe in unbelief, and did not speak.
Liu Xin looked at her appearance and said angrily: "You will keep my body in good health, leaving the green hills, not afraid that there will be no firewood. In the future, we will work harder and give birth to ten or eight. Son?"
Ma Yun and Bian Yu next to them had already covered their mouths and laughed, "Eating", Cai Yan flushed with shame, and even dare not say a word.
Day by day, the dispute between the ruling and opposition parties about Liu Xin gradually faded, and Liu Xin tried to keep a low profile and did not introduce any new policies. Jingzhou is now in harmony with people, bandits and bandits have nowhere to hide, and all counties have entered a period of rapid development.
Compared with Jingzhou, the rest of the Han Dynasty was not so stable. In the two years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided, all counties in the world have received a short rest. But this calm did not last long. First, the northern tribes frequently invaded You, He, Liang and other prefectures, and then rebellions in various places. Xiliang had a border chapter and Han Sui rebelled, and Jizhou had a black mountain thief, Zhang Yan. Ten thousand, the court dispatched troops and generals everywhere, exhausted. Since Changsha Pirate District Star escaped from Jingzhou and disappeared for a while, he also took advantage of the beacon in the world and raised his flag again to rebel and seized Lujiang City and proclaimed himself Lujiang Prefect.
When the news reached Xiangyang, Liu Xin was furious, gathered the crowd to discuss, and wanted to send troops to attack Lujiang. Jushou, Tian Feng, and Kuai Yue all tried to persuade him. It was winter, and the weather was freezing, and the transportation of grain and grass was inconvenient. Combined with the use of troops across the border, I am afraid that all of them would once again provoke criticism.
After Liu Hong got the unknown spice, he really felt the fun of sex. From then on, he indulged in female sex all day, ignored the political affairs, and handed all the political affairs to the ten constant servants headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. . At the same time, the courtiers' memorials condemning the ten permanent attendants were sent to Liu Hong in an endless stream, accusing the ten permanent attendants of being the chief culprit of the turmoil in the world. Although these memorials were all suppressed by Liu Hong, Shi Changshi still felt a deep sense of crisis.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong once fought openly on Liu Xin's issue, but now they also abandon their previous suspicions and stand together again. They knew that to silence the courtiers, the first thing was to quell the unrest in various places. Zhang Rang and the others are now in control. After a conspiracy, they tried to reconcile Zhang Yan. First, they made a false order to recruit Zhang Yan, and named him a general in peace. Zhang Wen was appointed as the general of the chariot and Dong Zhuo as the general. Go to Xiliang to fight against Bianzhang and Han Sui. Then, another corrective edict was issued, appointing Sun Jian as Lujiang prefect, and crusade against the star of the district.
