Today, Dali Temple argued for the sentence of a case for a long time. Hongri was about to set foot in the mountains and Zhao Yanping came back.
He is in a bad mood.
The higher the official position, the greater the power, and the more various benefits it involves. Dali Temple seems to be a Qingshui Yamen, but in fact there are many tricks in it. For example, a relative of a nobleman committed a crime. Although the evidence is conclusive and undeniable, there is still something to do about the sentence. As long as the prisoner uses his relationship to bribe or coerces the sentence to the sentence, he can find a way to survive even if he deserves the death penalty. If he is sentenced to ten years, he may change his sentence to three or five years.
When Lu Taigong was in Dali Temple, Zhao Yanping's official position was low and he only assisted in investigating the case. He would investigate whatever he asked him to investigate. It was because Lu Taigong was authorized to take over the Jingzhou case. At that time, Zhao Yanping could not get in touch with anything related to interests and did not feel deeply. Until today, Zhao Yanping discovered that Dali Temple was not as fair as he thought.
Is it because this situation has always happened in Dali Temple that Mr. Lu could not completely eliminate it by his own efforts? Or Mr. Lu left? Those officials who had been ready to move had no deterrence from Mr. Lu, and revealed their true colors?
Walking silently all the way, when Zhao Yanping arrived at the door of his house, he suppressed the unhappiness and went forward to knock on the door.
Dali Temple is Dali Temple, and home is home. Some things are enough for him to worry about, so there is no need to worry about his family.
Zhao Yanping prefers to look at his mother, and Gillian smiles because her family is getting better and better.
Guo Xing was hoping that the official would come back early in the morning. When he heard the knock on the door, he came to open the door with a smile.
Zhao Yanping immediately noticed Guo Xing's strangeness. The last time Guo Xing laughed like this was when he was promoted to the fifth rank.
"The marriage is about to be completed?"
Guo Xing, Cui Niang and the brothers and sisters were picked up by Zhao Yanping. Guo Xing was only thirteen or fourteen years old that year. Zhao Yanping watched the brothers and sisters grow up year by year, and had already regarded the brothers and sisters as family members. Thinking of the matter between Guo Xing and Qiuyue that Gillian mentioned a while ago, and seeing Guo Xing laughing so happily, Zhao Yanping guessed it.
When Guo Xing heard this, his smile froze. He didn't even dare to ask Qiuyue, where would he get married?
"It has nothing to do with me, the official will know later."
Guo Xing closed the door and urged the official to go inside quickly. Such a great news should be told by the wife.
He kept it in hiding, Zhao Yanping had to continue walking in, and bypassed the screen wall. Seeing Cui Niang standing at the kitchen door, her eyes facing each other, Cui Niang laughed out loud, but her mouth was as shattered as Cui Niang, and she just bent her eyes and turned around to prepare the meal, without giving him any tips.
In the hall, Gillian and Liu were asking Meng Zhao what they had learned today. Although Meng Zhao was only over three years old, she was very smart. After Xue Ning's female master enlightenment, she has now finished learning "Studying Qionglin" and "Sound and Rhythm Enlightenment", and she will also memorize a lot of poems, and she has also started to learn to traverse and practice calligraphy.
My aunt once sighed to Ah Gillian, saying that although Meng Zhao was the child picked up by Ah Gillian, she looked like a real Meng family. Ah Gillian's father was also a famous talent in his hometown. He passed the Jinshi two at a young age. Today, Meng Zhao is quite smart as a grandfather.
Gillian had long decided to raise Meng Zhao well. No matter whether she has her own children or not, she would not reduce the love she should give Meng Zhao.
Seeing Zhao Yanping returning home, Jiao smiled softly, and was much more reserved than Guo Xing and Cui Niang.
Zhao Yanping stepped into the hall and saw his mother and wife's smiling face again. Even Meng Zhao was laughing, looking at him with a silence.
"Is there any happy event at home?" Zhao Yanping sat down to Ah Jiao's side and asked.
Gillian lowered her head and smiled slightly, and Liu said to her son: "You are so smart, guess."
Seeing Ah Jiao’s embarrassed look, Zhao Yanping guessed that the happy event must be related to Ah Jiao, and said, “Is it the shop that has done a big business, or is the cabbage in the field growing well?”
Ah Jiao gave him a look.
Liu also smiled and said, "You know how to make money, guess."
This time, Zhao Yanping was really stumped. Gillian's joy was either related to him, to make money, or to the General's Mansion. The happy events in the General's Mansion would not make Guo Xing, Cui Niang laughed like that, and he had no happy events himself.
Seeing that his son couldn't guess, Liu gave a reminder: "We will have one more person next year."
Multiple people?
Zhao Yanping thought of Guo Xing's marriage again, but Guo Xing denied it, and the extra people were related to Gillian...
Zhao Yanping was suddenly stunned and wanted to see Ah Jiao's belly, but she was afraid that she would make her sad.
The son didn't dare to guess that. Liu was very distressed and said with a smile: "I have invited two doctors to see it. Gillian is indeed pregnant, and she has been pregnant for more than a month."
Gillian then glanced at Zhao Yanping.
Zhao Yanping didn't know what to react.
When he married Ah Gillian, he never thought about the child. He believed that he and Ah Gillian would not have their own children. However, he learned that Ah Gillian was still not giving up and would rather force himself to drink such bitter medicine in order to have a child. Zhao Yanping silently hoped that God would love Ah Gillian more and give her a child, but fulfill her regrets.
Now that Gillian suddenly became pregnant, Zhao Yanping was happy to be happy for her. When she got pregnant, it proved that she had no problem with her health. She no longer had to feel inferior and no longer had to drink that kind of bitter medicine. As for whether she was a father or not, she would have to have her own flesh and blood, Zhao Yanping really didn't feel much.
But Gillian smiled so satisfied, should he smile?
However, Zhao Yanping would not smirk. If she smiled lightly, would she think he was too cold? If she smiled so hard, would she misunderstand that he was always looking forward to his child?
Zhao Yanping's face was almost frozen.
At this moment, Cui Niang came with the food, because Zhao Yanping came back late today, the food had been warm for a while, and if she didn't eat it, it would be less delicious.
"Don't you know?" Cui Niang looked at everyone while posing for food. Seeing that the official still looked faint, she asked in confusion.
Zhao Yanping felt annoyed inexplicably because he didn't know what he should do.
"Eat first." Zhao Yan moved to the side of the dining table.
His face was wrong, and Gillian and Liu were both surprised. This was obviously a great joy, so why did he have such an attitude?
I don’t know if it was because she was prone to vomiting in the first three months, or if Zhao Yanping’s attitude stimulated Gillian. After drinking two sips of porridge, her stomach was churning again, and she didn’t vomit. She just put down the bowl and lowered her eyes to wait for the force to pass.
"Discomfort?" Zhao Yanping was the first to notice her little movement.
The man still cared about her, and Gillian smiled at him, saying that it was OK.
Liu took the opportunity to tell her son what to pay attention to during pregnancy, and first talk about the first three months. When the daughter-in-law's month is heavy, she would remind the couple in time so that they would not say a lot in one breath, and her son and daughter-in-law would not remember it.
At the dinner table, Liu only mentioned diet-related matters, and talked to his son alone after the meal. Only then did Liu tactfully hint his son that he would not go to the room in the past three months.
Zhao Yanping kept listening carefully, no matter what his mother said, he nodded.
Liu frowned and said, "A Jiao is pregnant, are you unhappy?"
Zhao Yanping looked at his mother and said, "Of course I'm happy, she dreams of a child."
Liu: "Then why are you..."
Zhao Yanping pursed his lips and lowered his eyes and explained: "I don't feel anything myself, and I didn't expect it. Now I suddenly have it. Let me laugh like you, and I can't laugh."
Liu seemed to understand a little bit, and smiled and said, "It's okay, don't laugh if you don't want to laugh. There is no one to force you. Just take good care of Gillian. When Gillian's belly grows a little bit bigger, you can feel it. You will laugh. I hope that the little guy will be born soon, call you dad, and act coquettishly towards you."
Zhao Yanping guessed that this would be the case, he was just not that surprised, but the child belonged to him and Gillian, so he of course looked forward to it.
After Liu left, Zhao Yanping went to find Gillian.
Gillian sat on the bed and entered the room from Zhao Yanping. She looked at her husband quietly, trying to see through what he was thinking.
Zhao Yanping changed out of his official uniform, sat next to her in his middle clothes, and told her what he said to his mother, so that she would not have thought about it.
A Jiao understood what Zhao Yanping meant, just like she liked Zhao Yanping, who was the captain, and she was willing to marry her. When he was promoted, A Jiao was happy for him, but she did not necessarily want Zhao Yanping to be promoted. The difference between promotion and having children is that the benefits of promotion come quickly, and she suddenly saw the benefits and became more happy. She had just gotten pregnant with a child. For Zhao Yanping, who had never looked forward to children, the happiness that the child could bring to him must be slowly reflected.
"Anyway, I'm very happy, even happier than if you earned me an imperial decree." Rearing in his arms, Gillian pulled Zhao Yanping's big hand and put it on his abdomen. At this moment, he was really wantless and demandless.
Zhao Yanping smiled over her head and earned her imperial edict. He just buried his head for a few days and wrote a memorial. He really sold so much effort and sweated a lot. From this perspective, Zhao Yanping could suddenly feel Ah Jiao's mood, just like the cabbage in the field, working hard to cultivate the seeds, watering and fertilizing. When the tender vegetable sprouts broke through the ground, anyone would be excited when they saw it and would have hope for everything they did.
"Before the child was born, let's call it Xiaoyaer." The big hand gently moved her belly, and Zhao Yanping said with a moment of thought.
Little arthr?
Although this name is rustic, it is quite gentle when he said it from a big man. Gillian raised her head and saw Zhao Yanping's tender eyes, she couldn't help but smile. Just now, this guy didn't feel anything about being a father, but a "Little Baer" had already exposed his deep fatherly love for this child.
"Why is it called Xiaoyaer?" Gillian was curious about how he thought of this name.
Zhao Yanping hugged her shoulder and said, "When the cabbages in the field just sprouted last month, you took me to see them, it looked very similar to you now."
It turns out that the little sprout is equal to the cabbage sprout!
Gillian was not very happy and said angrily, "Other parents all give their children the names of mountains, seas, suns, and moons. No matter how bad they are, they are big trees such as pine, cypress, suns, and locust trees. You are so good, you actually say that your child is cabbage."
Zhao Yanping laughed and looked at her shiny apricot eyes and said, "What's wrong with cabbage? It can be raised in early autumn, it can be resistant to cold and not afraid of the cold. All other vegetables in the field have been harvested. Only cabbage can grow until the beginning of winter and is easy to store. It provides the people with a winter dish, which can be fried, boiled, stewed, pickled, and stuffed. It is light and delicious, from royal relatives to ordinary people, there is nothing they don't like to eat."
Gillian was not full at dinner, but when he pulled her, her stomach suddenly started to rumbling.
Zhao Yanping, who didn't know how to laugh, laughed out loud at this moment.
Gillian was so angry that she beat him and asked him to go to the kitchen to get some food.
There was a batch of cabbage pulled out from the vegetable field last time. Cuicui was tender and tender. Zhao Yanping rolled up his sleeves and made a fried egg for Jiao. He then put two steamed buns on the edge of the pot. When the dishes were fried, the steamed buns became hot. After cleaning the stove, Zhao Yanping took the plate to the inner room.
The eggs are fried in golden yellow and decorated with green cabbage. The taste is a little salty, but it is just right with steamed buns.
Under Zhao Yanping's gaze, Gillian actually ate up all the dishes and didn't feel nauseous during this period.
"Why didn't you know how to cook before?" Dong Zhu packed up her things, and Gillian took Zhao Yanping to the yard and chatted in a low voice.
Zhao Yanping paid attention to the ground and explained distractedly: "It's not really good at making it. When he was a child, his family was poor and could only afford to eat all kinds of vegetables grown by his own family. He had fried them too many times and it was very simple, so I remembered it."
When Jiao heard this, she suddenly felt that Xiaoya'er's name was really good.
He and Zhao Yanping are both like cabbages in the field. They were once inconspicuous and walked step by step to this day in the face of wind and frost.
If parents do this, their children will definitely be very strong.
