After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Wen Zhimiao pulled Yunzhou into a room, and the two of them were relaxing with some melon seeds and snacks.

Su Qingluo would occasionally hear Wen Zhimiao sighing or feeling melancholy, but she had no idea what they were talking about.

At first, all I heard were words of concern that I was becoming overly obsessed with power.

Later on, I gradually relaxed.

[Am I not worried about myself?]

[I just don’t want to become a warmongering tyrant.]

[you're right.]

[Retire early like my mother and avoid making mistakes? That’s also good.]

[Then I have to adopt a baby, but where to find one is still a problem.]

[A sister has no desires and no requests, and she will not give birth.]

[Go pick one up on the roadside?]

[Or compete for the position?]

Competing for a job? Su Qingluo shook her head. That wouldn't work.

[No, no, that's just the battle of nine princes for the throne, exciting and thrilling, but I will die early.]

Su Qingluo heaved a sigh of relief as she listened to her increasingly cheerful words.

Yunzhou also had such a dilemma, but later she found that after a long time, the so-called power had no appeal to her and only made her feel annoyed.

Gradually, my mentality improved.

Wen Zhimiao is still in the early stages.

Su Qingluo didn’t really understand why they had such concerns at first. Later, Yun Zhou told her that they were just worried about becoming someone they hated without even realizing it.

They have seen many people who had good intentions at first but changed later.

Whether they are historical figures in history books or some entrepreneurs we have met in real life.

Many people eventually become the people they once hated, and are unable to empathize with their former selves.

Yun Zhou doesn't want to, and Wen Zhimiao doesn't want to either, so they are conflicted.

Su Qingluo has seen too many power struggles since she was a child, and she knows that she is that kind of person, so she will not have such a mental journey.

I don’t know what Wen Zhimiao and Yun Zhou talked about, nor do I know how Yun Zhou talked to her.

Anyway, I feel that the two of them are quite happy later.

You don't necessarily have to really let it go, but it's good even if you can let it go temporarily.

When Yun Zhou came out again, Su Qingluo and Yun Jiuzhao were still playing chess.

Yun Jiuzhao's chess style today was indeed a little different from usual.

Yun Zhou watched for a while, and soon the two decided the winner, and Yun Jiuzhao won.

"This chess move is quite unique." Yun Zhou said from the side.

"I just saw a chess book with these unconventional chess moves in it. I thought it was interesting, so I tried to learn it." Yun Jiuzhao said truthfully.

"Can you lend me the chess manual tomorrow?" Yun Zhou said with a smile.

"Okay." Yun Jiuzhao nodded obediently.

Yun Zhou yawned lazily: "I'm sleepy, let's go back to sleep."

"You should also go to bed early. Even though it's holiday, you can't stay up too late." Yun Zhou reminded.

Wen Zhimiao, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word since he came out, nodded mechanically: "Yeah."

There are still several days of vacation left. Except for Wen Zhimiao occasionally having to deal with matters in the north, the rest of the time is not very busy.

Generally speaking, the weather will gradually become warmer after the Spring Festival, but this year is a little abnormal.

There were two snowfalls during the New Year holidays.

On the fifth day of the New Year, Wen Zhimiao took Yunzhou to go skiing. Su Qingluo insisted on going with them, and Wen Zhimiao had no choice but to let her go.

Yunzhou didn't expect that there would be other surprises besides the ski resort.

There are actually quite a few ice sculptures inside.

It’s not as good as the ice and snow world in my previous life, but it’s also very beautiful.

There are small slides and many carefully carved small animals.

There is no one else here today, just a family of four.

Wen Zhimiao dragged Yun Zhou around to play, and Su Qingluo and Yun Jiuzhao felt that they could never keep up with her thoughts, even though Su Qingluo could hear her inner voice.

Not only could he not keep up with Wen Zhimiao's thinking, he also couldn't keep up with the thinking of Yun Zhou, who was with Wen Zhimiao.

After all, they come from the same world and are close friends who grew up together.

Su Qingluo did not feel very dissatisfied. Instead, she felt quite gratified when she saw Yun Zhou and Wen Zhimiao playing tricks on each other.

After all, it’s nice to be able to maintain this friendship in a different world.

Yun Jiuzhao and Su Qingluo followed for a while and then sat down together to drink tea and wine. The plum blossoms in the manor were in full bloom.

In the past, Yun Jiuzhao had an excessive respect for Su Qingluo, but this winter, he played chess and drank with her from time to time, and their relationship became much closer.

After the sixth day of the New Year, the court will officially begin, and Wen Zhimiao's leisurely days will come to an end.

At the beginning of the year, all kinds of accumulated affairs need to be dealt with urgently.

Although the candidates who passed the military examination had to go to the military camp for training, they were also provided with salaries and the like.

The candidates who passed the civil service examination will actually be assigned official positions.

Shi Quan thought about it for a whole Spring Festival and finally decided to follow the prince into the Eastern Palace. Duan Ran made the same decision. This way, there was no need to assign them any positions.

Wen Zhimiao selected some of the remaining people, including civil and military candidates, and handed the others over to the Ministry of Personnel for arrangement, and they would just have to be reviewed by her later.

The affairs of the north are more important. The governors of the three counties need to be formally appointed, and there are also arrangements for garrisons, the navy, and so on.

In addition, many of the old Donglan residents became orphans due to war or disasters.

The official shelter that Wen Zhimiao had originally envisioned was not implemented in the south at the first time, but it has now been implemented in the three northern counties.

There were so many things to deal with that Wen Zhimiao was extremely busy.

The Censorate had a lot of backlogged work at the beginning of the year, so from the start of work to the Lantern Festival, Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue only met twice in total, had dinner together twice, and that was it.

There are a few days off for the Lantern Festival, but Wen Zhimiao has no rest except on the day of the Lantern Festival.

Even on the Lantern Festival, she could only go to see Shi Wanyue in the afternoon.

He Yuanyao couldn't join them as she was now in military training and didn't have a day off even for the Lantern Festival.

Su Yubing originally wanted to invite Yun Jiuzhao to go boating on the lake, but then she thought about it and realized that the weather was still too cold.

She didn't want to go either, and in the end the two of them chose to stay in Su Yubing's courtyard to make tea and play chess.

Wen Zhimiao couldn't walk around anymore, so he and Shi Wanyue found a theater to watch a play, drink tea and just relax.

The Spring Festival passed just like that, and the affairs in the north came to an end for the time being.

The next most important thing for Wen Zhimiao is to prepare for the wedding of Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou.

Yunzhou’s requirements for the wedding are actually not very demanding.

But Wen Zhimiao just wanted to help her make it grander and more to her liking, at least without leaving any regrets.

This only happens once in two lifetimes, so we have to arrange it for her if she wants it.

Wen Tiantai set the wedding date for early April, mid-March, when it would not be so cold.

Although time is tight, there is still enough time.

After this busy period, Wen Zhimiao will have plenty of time to prepare.
