There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

The Wu family got a boy, and Lao Yang and his wife were the first to arrive.

"Don't worry, the second boy's surname will be Yang." Wu Youwei also felt sour when he saw the attitude of the old couple holding the child and not wanting to let go. Fortunately, he met him, otherwise the old couple might be dead Can't rest in peace.

"Yes, yes!" But the old couple nodded and did not let go.

No way, Wu Youwei simply asked the old couple to take care of Yangliu in Moling Mountain Villa: "I still have to go to Beijing to work...Going to court, a big man in Taining can't take care of him well, although there is no shortage of manpower at home. , but Yangliu is the eldest grandma after all, she will feel much more comfortable with her in-laws by her side."

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Yang wished she could stay and take care of her daughter.

Mr. Yang thought for a while, and discussed with Wu Youwei: "Dear family, I think we might as well move to Wu's Village, which is also close to Moling Villa. You and your son-in-law are busy people. My wife and I live here. It’s not a solution after all, it’s good to move to Wu’s Village, and it’s also convenient to go up and down the mountain.”

"Okay!" Wu Youwei was more than happy. Someone would help take care of his eldest grandson and daughter-in-law. Of course it would be fine: "There are still several houses in the Wu family village. You two elders choose one and transfer it to your name."

"Let's just buy it." It's not Mr. Yang's style to beg for something.

"What are you buying? It's all under Taining's name, just treat him as filial to you two elders." Wu Youwei waved his hand: "Besides, your second elder came here to take care of the children, so he should be more grateful. "

Because Wu Youwei has been bathing and drinking with spiritual water these years, and eating some specially cultivated vegetables and fruits, he looks very young. He is already in his thirties and is about to reach his forties, but the years are on his face. There is no trace left on the wine, only the mature charm, which is getting thicker and thicker.

Lao Yang lived a life of poverty, and only enjoyed blessings in his later years, so even though he wore silk and satin and ate chicken, duck and fish, he still had wrinkled faces and gray hair, and he didn't look like Wu Youwei. They are in-laws, like elders and juniors, there is no way to talk about them as equals.

Seeing the two of them like this, Wantong narrowed his eyes.

After Lao Yang left, Wantong said to Wu Youwei, "Put some powder on your face from now on."

"Ah?" Wu Youwei was taken aback for a moment, "Why?"

Although he is the one below, he has never been feminine!

Make up or something, but never thought about it.

"You're too young." Wantong touched his face: "You haven't changed much after all these years, what if someone notices you?"

Not only is he young, he has no beard, and the stubble is not developed.

So far, there is only a thin layer of hair on the lips, which is longer than fine hair, and there is not much fluff. It is impossible to say that it is a beard.

"Are you young too?" Wu Youwei blushed from embarrassment, "Why don't you wear powder?"

"Me?" Wantong touched his face: "Still young?"

"Of course I'm young." Wu Youwei pouted angrily, "You can be what I am!"

Wantong now doesn't even have the hidden wounds left behind by his efforts in the early years, and his whole body is refreshed. He is exactly the age of a man.

And because Wantong knows martial arts and exercises every day, he still doesn't have a belly yet.

On the other hand, because I ate well, I have gained a lot of weight compared to when I first arrived, probably because of the fat, even if there are wrinkles, they will be stretched out, and I look younger of course.

"Then I'll stay young with you." Wantong smiled: "You are young alone, of course you will be very conspicuous, but if three or five people are young, it will be different."

"Huh?" Wu Youwei didn't quite understand: "Three or five people?"

"Elder Sister has been saying all these years that I will remain young forever!" Wan Tao said, "Our Wan family is blessed with unique blessings."

Shameless!

Wu Youwei curled his lips, if he hadn't provided spiritual water directly and indirectly over the years, would he still be young?Already old.

Don't think he doesn't know, he has hidden wounds on his body, and they have healed over the years.

Even my brother-in-law and the others are the same. They had secret injuries before and thought they would not live long, but now they are all alive and kicking.

They didn't think about marrying a daughter-in-law before the first day of the new year, because they were afraid that they would not live long, so why bother to make a good woman a widow?

Now all the sons are running all over the place.

After drinking too much at a party with Wantong, I cried and said that I never dreamed that such a day would come, married a daughter-in-law who knows the cold and the hot, and gave them children.

The two decided to be young together, so they didn't deliberately pretend to be old.

It's just that the clothes made for them by the family are still a bit darker. After all, they are almost forty and have grandchildren, so they can no longer wear them so delicately like young people.

Lao Yang and his wife were quickly arranged by Wu Mingde to enter Wujia Village. It just so happened that he still had three properties in Wujia Village, which were originally used to receive classmates and friends. They were all from his own family, so he picked the largest house, transferred the ownership to his father-in-law, and let the two elders move in.

As for the house of the Yang family in Beijing, Mr. Yang has also made up his mind to keep it for the future granddaughter of the Yang family as a dowry, and the house here is reserved for his grandson.

In Guichou, the November month of winter, news came from the south that the Great Liuqiu and Xiaoliuqiu were unbearably harassed by Japanese pirates, and the royal family was also dead. They wrote the Wanmin Book and begged the suzerain country Daming to make decisions for them.

Emperor Xianzong simply sent the other two princes, one to be the ruler of the Great Liuqiu Kingdom and the other to be the ruler of the Little Liuqiu Kingdom. It just so happened that these two princes were still brothers.

There is also news from Japan that Japan has basically been assimilated, and the local navy is also being formed. Once the leaders of the Great Liuqiu and Little Liuqiu countries take office, basically half of the territory in the south will be Controlled by the Zhu family.

In addition, news came from Shanghai that those missionaries seemed to be in contact with some sea ship.

Because of Kaifu's relationship, there are constant ships coming and going near the Daming sea area, and there are even many foreign ships, but because of strict management, there have been no major disturbances.

However, there are also many ships that come from afar. Those ships that can survive the storm will definitely make a lot of money when they arrive in Daming. At the same time, those missionaries have also contacted people they know.

It is said that they have tried their best to contact their Holy See.

Wantong knew that Wu Youwei was very concerned about the West, so he told him the news.

"Come as soon as you come. If you don't come, we'll go there." Wu Youwei said, "It's impossible for Daming to close itself off. It's either safe or backward. Before it develops, let's take advantage of it."

The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers.

Wantong understands this truth.

"I will arrange it." Wantong nodded.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, it will soon be Laba.

After Laba, it is the hundred days of the fat official at home.

Wu Youwei didn’t make a big deal about Xisan and Full Moon, because he felt that the child was still too weak. If it was because of Xisan and Full Moon, he would definitely take the baby out for everyone to see. What if he caught a cold?

So it wasn't until Hundred Days that he did a big job.

Because it was a [-]-day banquet for the eldest grandson, and it was already very cold outside, everyone was asked to visit the eldest grandson indoors.

Wu Youwei also made a fuss, and asked someone to make small animal baby clothes for his grandson. The cute little animal baby clothes, plus the cuter grandson, made people who came to see him greedy.

In December, Jiangxi and Guangxi were exempted from taxation and grain.

That year, thirty vassal states and tribes including Hami and Japan paid tribute to Daming.

Another envoy came to Samarkand, praying for business with Daming, and Emperor Xianzong agreed.

In the spring of the 23rd year, the first month, the first imperial decree exempted the world from disasters, taxes and food.

Praise from the ruling and opposition parties.

Gengxu, a great sacrifice to heaven and earth in the southern suburbs.

And this year, Wu Youwei was very nervous from the very beginning, and secretly told Wan Tong: "This year, in history, Emperor Xianzong..."

"No, this year, we will definitely be able to keep the emperor!" Wantong and Emperor Xianzong still have a very good relationship, because Emperor Xianzong has treated him really well for so many years. But now, the family relationship has been broken.

"Hmm!" Wu Youwei also wanted to break the curse. If Emperor Xianzong could keep it, would it mean that he changed more and bigger historical events?

After the sacrifice, Wantong personally arranged all the security work, and even made people guard the palace day and night. In addition, even the imperial doctor was sifted through by him.

His movements made a lot of noise, and before the first month came out, there was a sense of jitteriness.

Emperor Xianzong couldn't help calling him over: "What's the matter with you recently?"

Did something happen that he didn't know about?

"It's nothing." Wantong replied: "It's just that our Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and those small countries may be dissatisfied. They can't do anything in general, but they have to prevent them from using despicable methods."

"Don't they still want to assassinate me?" Emperor Xianzong couldn't laugh or cry: "How many people are around me?"

Not to mention assassination, it might not even be possible to get close to the palace.

"The minister is afraid that they will play tricks on the tribute. The various spices and some precious medicinal materials you are using now, some of which are from the tribute. In addition, the various golden sore medicines we use in the Ming Dynasty also include the frankincense and frankincense purchased from the south. Myrrh, dried blood, etc. are all non-local products, and if they are tampered with, I'm afraid I will regret it." Wantong's reason is very good: "Therefore, I have to guard against it."

Emperor Xianzong felt that Wantong was a little too nervous, but he was also very pleased that he was still so careful, so he let him go.

Just after the first month, on February [-], the dragon raised its head.

After eating the pig's head and eating the pig's head meat, this year is over.

Just after the Chinese New Year, in February Yiyou, Vice Capital Censor Shi Bianyong and General Secretary Tian Jingxian visited the borders of Datong, met with various ministries of the grasslands, and discussed the latest development of the mutual market....

In March Ding Wei, Peng Hua became an official.

Ding Si, who gave Fei Hong and other Jinshi and ranks, had a poor background.

In Guihai, Shandong was exempted from taxation and grain.

In April, on the third day of the first lunar month, Chaoyang passed the government examination and became a Juren.

In Yihai, Princess Fengyang chooses her son-in-law.

This is the biggest thing this year besides the exam.

Because Daming reformed the quality of life of princess consorts, the concubines are not useless now.

At least, Zhou Jing, the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Chongqing, is very good, and now her grandsons are all running around.

Moreover, Emperor Xianzong also found some jobs for the sons-in-law. Although it was not a department of power, it did not prevent them from becoming officials.

Let them not be involved in the six ministries and state affairs, and give them some cumbersome jobs without much power, because they will not be bullied because of their status as son-in-law.

Every month on the third day of the junior high school, the princess and son-in-law were invited back to the palace. Emperor Xianzong would let the family have a meal together, chat and talk, and it was no longer a way of getting along without seeing each other all year round.

Especially Princess Fengyang, who was born in the middle palace, and a princess who was born on the same day, has a title and a fief as soon as she is born.

She wanted to choose a son-in-law, and many people were envious.

However, Emperor Xianzong still chose to be elected within the two capitals, not the whole country.

As a result, Wu Youwei was sitting at home, and Narcissus and the others came crying, startling him: "What's wrong?"

"I've chosen a son-in-law!" The younger sisters were all red-eyed: "The children in the family are qualified...to be chosen as a son-in-law...."

"Choose it." Wu Youwei said: "This time it's Princess Fengyang, besides, the life of the son-in-law is pretty good now, look at Wu Mian, isn't that also very happy with the fifth princess? They all ran all over the place."

Don't be too happy for the couple to live happily with each other now.

And when the fifth princess was pregnant, Wu Mian didn't even want to warm the maid beside her to the concubine's bed.

The prince's son-in-law is also very honest and honest, the son-in-laws of the two sisters are very good, and the son-in-laws of the other sisters have taken the lead to set an example, and none of them caused any trouble.

The days of the princesses are getting better, and so are the sons-in-law. In addition, Princess Fengyang is a descendant of the middle palace, and the quality of the son-in-law has improved a bit compared to before.

Emperor Xianzong originally wanted to hand over the job of choosing a son-in-law to Wantong, but Queen Wang wanted to use his own brother.

"You want your brother to preside over the selection of the son-in-law?" Emperor Xianzong looked at the queen.

Empress Wang summoned up her courage and said, "Yes, Master Wan, please give me a detailed look."

Emperor Xianzong looked at her fixedly, and Queen Wang was in a cold sweat.

"Let Zhongming preside over it, he has experience." After all, Emperor Xianzong valued his daughter and didn't want her to be wrong for life.

Queen Wang opened her mouth, not daring to continue to refute.

She can muster up the courage to say it once, but she can't say it the second time....

But the head of the country passed away many years ago, and now the king's family is headed by Queen Wang's own brother.

He wanted to mend the relationship with the Queen, so he wanted to find a good son-in-law for Princess Fengyang, but Emperor Xianzong didn't trust them and left the matter to Wantong.

Wantong didn't want to pick it up at first, but Emperor Xianzong told him that he couldn't resist the order, so he could only follow the rules.

Mr. Wang's family also has several young talents selected.

However, after Wantong's investigation, they were all rejected.

Immediately, Queen Wang was unhappy, and found Emperor Xianzong: "Why are you targeting the people recommended by my elder brother? None of them were left, and they were all rejected in the first and second rounds?"

Emperor Xianzong looked at Queen Wang with strange eyes. After a while, he called for Princess Fengyang.

In front of the couple, he asked the eunuch to read out the investigation materials that Wantong had given him.

Those four people, none of them are good!

One secretly gambles; one is a maid who sleeps all over the house;The last one was even more extreme. He married a wife in his hometown, just because the Wang family told him that there might be Princess Shang. He was just like Chen Shimei. He turned around and killed his wife who had just been married for a month. It was simply the Ming Dynasty version of "Chen Shimei." "!"

Only Princess Shang is missing!

"This is the son-in-law that your own brother recommended to my princess?" Emperor Xianzong said coldly, "Thanks to Zhongming, otherwise what would happen to my princess? Hmm?"

Queen Wang fainted on the spot.

Princess Fengyang covered her face and wept.

There was a great commotion in the palace.

After the Dragon Boat Festival in May, on Yimao Day, ten candidates entered the palace for an audience.

In fact, it was the last step, let Princess Fengyang take a peek through the screen, and whoever fell in love with her would be the son-in-law.

Ten people came in. When Wantong saw these ten people, he was actually a little unhappy because Chaoyang was inside, the eldest son of Laba.

The kid didn't want to touch any privileges, so he just came all the way.

As a result...he really passed the test and met Emperor Xianzong all the time.

The elders in several clans saw that he was good, so they approved it unanimously.

Emperor Xianzong saw that among the ten people, Chaoyang was really pleasing to the eye.

In the end, it was Chaoyang who won the bid, and he was chosen as the son-in-law!

Because among the ten people, he is the only one who is a Juren, the kind who has a reputation.

The other nine are either honored descendants, or from wealthy families, or at worst, they are also the heirs of wealthy businessmen.

"Consort?" Wu Youwei was confused after hearing the news: "Chaoyang?"

"Well, because the emperor said, Danfeng Chaoyang." Wantong could see that he was unhappy: "I don't think Chaoyang is unhappy, but quite happy, so I will go home and announce the happy news to my parents."

"If you don't report the good news, do you want to report the bad news?" Wu Youwei said unhappily: "This child is a candidate, and he will be able to try in three years... this... this ...?"

If you become a consort, can you still try?

"Don't worry, wait for Laba and the others to come and see the situation." Wan Tongdao said, "The son-in-law has already been chosen, there is no way to retreat, this is Princess Fengyang."

I don't know what Chaoyang said to Laba and Narcissus at home. When they came the next day, they were very happy, smiling from ear to ear.

Wu Youwei pulled Chaoyang and asked him, "What do you think?"

"Uncle, I found that I don't have any thoughts about official career." Chaoyang said honestly: "I still prefer teaching and educating people, and compiling books. But I want to live in Beijing in peace, and I can't always rely on you and uncle. This time It’s a god-sent opportunity. Princess Fengyang has taken a fancy to me. Although I have never met Her Royal Highness, she should be a very good girl. The royal upbringing can’t be wrong. After getting married, I can do what I like with peace of mind. .”

At the same time, the family will be separated from the military registration and entered into the yellow book, and the descendants will also become good citizens.

"Okay, as long as you don't wrong yourself... that's fine." Wu Youwei didn't expect him to think this way. In fact, think about it, in Beijing, you really need a backer so that you can do what you like without being disturbed. things.

The son-in-law was selected, and the wedding date, according to the calculations of Qin Tianjian, was set on March [-] next year.
