MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 614 successor

  Li Baolu blushed slightly, turned her head to look at An An and said, "I have to ask her."

  He Zipei thought she was talking about Gu Jingyun, so he glanced at Gu Jingyun and looked at him with warning eyes.

   Gu Jingyun, who had been paying attention here, couldn't help but be silent when he saw his aunt's eyes. He also heard his aunt's words and looked away thoughtfully.

  He Zipei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Qinghe wanted it, Chunxi would definitely not object.

She and her husband are getting older, and her husband has decided to write a letter to pray for the bones during the Double Ninth Festival. Due to the Qin family's genes and physical losses in the early years, the two of them have no idea how long they will live, so they hope to see Gu Jingyun have an heir before they die. .

  He Zipei stroked Li Baolu's hair and said, "I know that Qinghe doesn't want you to have more babies. After all, the earlier a woman gives birth, the more it will affect her lifespan. But at least you have to give An An a younger brother and Niuniu a nephew."

   In this way, they will be able to rely on their parents in the future.

  Li Baolu blushed and nodded, hugged He Zipei's arm and whispered, "Don't worry, Auntie."

He Zipei was both relieved and a little disappointed. Looking at the lanterns hanging on both sides of the flower shed, he said softly: "Only if you guys are doing well, will your uncle and I go away in peace. With you and Qinghe here, we are all relieved to hand Niuniu to you. In the end, what worries you the most is your mother, and she and your master don't know where they are now."

Li Baolu hugged her arm and put her fingers on her wrist. Listening to the pulse, she smiled and said, "Aunt and uncle are young and strong, it's too early to think about this. My master is there with my mother. , you don't have to worry, didn't my mother write to me that she wants to write a chronicle of the Great Chu region, and now where is she going?"

   "She was so quiet and elegant in the past, who would have thought that her ambition is now like that, because of your master." He Zipei said blaming words, but his face was very satisfied. It is better for my sister-in-law to be spoiled than to be restrained and bullied.

Li Baolu loosened her fingers, grabbed her hand, leaned on her shoulder and said, "Auntie, your health is fine, it's not a problem to live another 20 years, you still have to watch Niuniu marry and have children. She gives birth to two more, and you adopt one to inherit the descendant, as long as you take good care of it, you might be able to watch your grandson get married and have children."

  He Zipei's body does have some problems, but they are all small problems. After all, people can't be so healthy in middle age.

   But her real problem is still psychological, she is a little depressed. Li Baolu couldn't help but be a little worried, wondering if something happened.

   Li Baolu was worried in her heart, but her face did not show, she whispered in He Zipei's ear.

  An An and Niu Niu play together. The two are five years apart. Niu Niu has the self-consciousness and style of an aunt, and is working hard to take care of An An, especially wanting to hold her in her arms.

   But An An also grew up consciously, and resolutely sat opposite her and played together.

   Qin Xinfang and Gu Jingyun were sitting in the other corner watching their wife and daughter. It was lively outside, but their hearts were peaceful.

   Qin Xinfang looked at Niuniu who was holding moon cakes and insisted on feeding An An, and said softly to Gu Jingyun, "I want to write a prayer while the sun is in the middle of the sun. If you have any arrangements, go as soon as possible."

   "Have you decided on an heir?"

   "I've decided to recommend your Master Uncle and Cheng Shangshu."

  Gu Jingyun picked up the teapot and poured tea for his uncle, and pondered, "Uncle Master is more prestigious, but when he is old, he will not be able to do it for long even if he is promoted to the cabinet, but he is very insightful in education. Does uncle intend to educate?"

   Qin Xinfang's mouth twitched, "Why don't you get a commission?"

   "Chengshangshu is younger than you, and it is when he is young and powerful. If he is a minister, he will have at least ten years in office. I'm afraid others can't wait."

  Like Peng Dan, he has held a cabinet position for a long time.

   He used to be the elder of the pavilion. After the emperor was enthroned, he was the head and assistant. It has been so many years but he has not moved the nest for the descendants. The people waiting behind may not be impatient.

   This time, Qin Xinfang managed to step down, and everyone would definitely be fighting to break his head. And Qin Xinfang's recommendation is very important. Generally speaking, it will only be selected from the candidates he recommends, unless the emperor has a new candidate to join the competition.

   It is better to choose Jin Wan than Cheng Shangshu, because Jin Wan is over 60 years old, and even if he wants to be a patriarch, he will not be able to be a patriarch for a few years.

   So in the case of choosing one of the two, everyone must choose Jin Wan, not the young and powerful Cheng Shangshu.

   And Qin Xinfang's recommendation is obviously more like Jinwan.

Qin Xinfang's mouth curled up and said: "Peng Dan has been in the cabinet for many years, and he is also the head and assistant, while the other three cabinet elders represent the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel respectively, and the Ministry of Household represented by Peng Dan has always been an horn. In a few years, who knows that they will not unite to control the government? And the education and agriculture of Da Chu should also take a step forward."

"Your master is in charge of the Hanlin Academy and has studied local education for nearly 20 years. He is a good friend of Ouyang Shangshu. Taking his place in my place will not only prevent the other four cabinets from forming an alliance, but also improve the education of Da Chu. further."

   "And I've agreed with your master that he will recommend him to become a minister after he retires. The Nongsang Water Conservancy will be changed by then."

   "So Cheng Shangshu will support Master Uncle?"

   Qin Xinfang nodded, this is the agreement he reached with Cheng Shangshu.

  Cheng Shangshu is a minister of the Ministry of Industry, a rare pragmatism in the six major ministers. He was just promoted to the minister from the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry two years ago. He has been focusing on improving rice seeds and has made progress.

   However, due to the allocation of funds from the Ministry of Households, the cultivated rice has not been able to be used for sowing experiments on a large scale.

   If there is no large-scale seeding experiment data for two years, he would not dare to promote it, and the imperial court would not dare to let the people plant a large number of seeds.

   So he needs more right to speak, to fight for capital for himself and the Ministry of Industry.

   He has just been promoted to Shangshu, and it is difficult to be promoted to the cabinet, so it is better to nominate him first, give it to Jin Wan, and then nominate him after Jin Wan retires, then the chances are high.

   Qin Xinfang's political resources were partly left to Gu Jingyun, but most of his political resources were handed over to Jin Wan, and Jin Wan would later be handed over to Cheng Shangshu.

   These resources can provide certain guarantees for their ascent.

   He didn't know whether he would put resources on his future son-in-law and grandson after he became Shangshu, but the favor they owed would definitely be there.

   As long as they can maintain their original intentions, under the wise emperor's circumstances, these two favors will not be broken.

   This is also the guarantee Qin Xinfang left for Niuniu.

  If Shang Shu was as ungrateful as Gu Huaijin, he would naturally have a backer to deal with him, not to mention that Gu Jingyun was not a vegetarian.

   Qin Xinfang decided to go to work last year, and this year was spent making arrangements. He always had to leave something for Gu Jingyun and Niuniu, so that they could have resources when they wanted to use it in the future.

   But he couldn't abolish the public for personal reasons, and he wanted to have both, but he screened all the ministers in the court.

  Jin Wan needless to say, he is over sixty years old, and his character and ability are all there. Although there are no outstanding children and nephews in the family, he is not a hindrance.

   For the senior brother, Qin Xinfang is still at ease.

  Chengshangshu was the second successor he finally selected, and it was also the second move he arranged.

   The current character and ability of the other party are also trustworthy, but the changes in people's hearts and the court are like the situation in the sky.

   So he is just doing his job now, and whether the result can be as he envisioned depends on the destiny.

   After the two of them finished their business, they heard fireworks explode outside, and An An and Niuniu screamed "Wow", and they were about to run out.

  Gu Jingyun and Qin Xinfang quickly grabbed their collars, "We will show you, but don't run around, there are bad people outside."

   Li Baolu also dragged He Zipei to watch the fireworks, and they happened to meet Dongfeng Nanfeng and they brought Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi to find them, and they stood at the door of the flower shed together to watch.

  Gu Jingyun hugged An An, Qin Xinfang hugged Niuniu and made her stand on the high platform, supporting her with one hand and protecting He Zipei who was almost squeezed by the crowd with the other.

   Niuniu and An An shouted loudly, their palms turning red.

  The people quickly formed a human wall to keep the masters inside and prevent the crowd from crowding them.

  Gu Jingyun saw that Li Baolu was looking seriously and his eyes were full of brilliance, so he whispered: "We will buy more fireworks to set off in the new year."

  Li Baolu shook her head, "The pollution is too great, just watch what the imperial court burns."

   In this era, not everyone can afford to set off fireworks, and every New Year’s Eve, the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, the court and palace will set off fireworks, and ordinary people will come to watch them set off.

  Some wealthy families will also buy them, especially some aristocratic families and dignitaries. There are also pipe fireworks every year, and because of the geographical location, the fireworks are not far from their homes.

   Just look at other people's homes, Li Baolu has no plans to add strength to air pollution.

   But she also does not object to others setting off fireworks, because it is a way of expressing joy, and fireworks are also art to a certain extent.

   After watching the fireworks, Li Baolu bit her ear to Gu Jingyun and said that her aunt was depressed.

   Gu Jingyun frowned slightly, and glanced at his uncle and aunt calmly. Seeing that the two were helping Niuniu off the high stage, the two were still intimate before, so it seemed that the problem was not with the uncle.

  Gu Jingyun glanced at Niuniu, and saw that her uncle and aunt looked at her with endless love and no sorrow.

   Husband and daughter are not worried, what is the aunt worrying about?

   "Are you sure your aunt's body is fine?"

   "It's just some minor problems, it's not a big problem. Auntie is at this age, and some minor problems are normal."

  Gu Jingyun nodded slightly, "I'll ask my uncle later."

   Qin Xinfang and He Zipei get along day and night, and he naturally knows her change, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, and it has reached the level of depression.

   He had also consulted an imperial physician before. The imperial physician gave the conclusion that he was depressed. Although he prescribed a prescription, he said that the disease was not in the medicine, but in the mood.

   Qin Xinfang rubbed his forehead and whispered, "I was too negligent."

  Gu Jingyun couldn't help but wonder, "Why is my aunt depressed?"

   Nothing bad has happened recently.

   Qin Xinfang said helplessly: "We are all old, we can't help but think more, it's not a big deal, just wait until I get to work."

   He paused and said, "Why don't you and Chunxi bring An An back to live for a while, the house will be more lively and busy, and she will have less time to think about it."
