Pregnancy is a happy event, but Gillian also thought a lot.

After entering the night, Zhao Yanping came in after taking a shower and saw Jiao sitting at the desk, holding a pen and not knowing what she was writing.

She likes to settle accounts, calculate the inputs of the shop, the fields, and the expenses of the family. Zhao Yanping walked over and said, "You need to raise your baby now, staying up late is what to do."

Gillian smiled, put down her pen and asked him to come and see.

Zhao Yanping stopped beside her and lowered his head. He saw a four-entry courtyard on the paper, and the use of each room was marked as follows.

Zhao Yanping looked at her unexpectedly.

A Jiao used her fingers to calculate for him: "Brother Fu'er Gui'er is getting older and older. Cui Niang and his wife's downed room is so small. The family of four is too crowded. They have to clean up the room for the two of them. Zhao Ge'er is ten years old and gradually takes care of her. She is not suitable for Chunzhu to serve her daily life. She has to buy him a close-fitting Changsui. Chu Jin should also add two little maids to play with her, so that she will not go to find Brother Fu'er Gui'er every day. I am pregnant again. Dongyue is not enough, and the wet nurse must add more. Once there are too many people, I should also buy a special washing maid and embroiderer..."

Zhao Yanping suddenly felt a big head.

Gillian concluded: "So, it's time for us to change to a big house."

Zhao Yanping pinched his forehead and asked her: "Is there enough money at home?"

Gillian smiled and said, "It's more than a thousand taels, it must be enough."

Zhao Yanping quickly calculated and frowned and asked, "The money in the public account is not enough?" His salary over the years can save up to about 400 taels.

A Jiao glared at him: "What kind of public and private accounts are you doing with me so clearly. Can you buy a big house and only live there for you, so I can't live there?"

Zhao Yanping didn't mean that, he didn't want to spend Ajiao's money.

Gillian touched her belly that had not yet appeared, lowered her eyes and said angrily, "I can tell you clearly at this time. Why didn't I see you as clearly when I planted a child on me?"

Zhao Yanping tightened his body as he heard it, and gently pressed her shoulder and said, "You deliberately made me feel uncomfortable, right?"

Gillian patted his hand and looked at the big house on the paper and insisted: "I don't care. Anyway, I want to buy a big house. There are so many people in my family and I live in a tight place. If you don't allow me to buy it for a day, I will only worry about this for a day. How can I still be at ease to raise my baby?"

It’s fine if the family has no money. Even though they are rich, they have to add more children, so why not change them?

Seeing that she was determined, Zhao Yanping had to say, "Buy, buy, buy, it's up to you to decide."

Gillian smiled immediately, stood up, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked up at him: "You're going to be a father again, are you happy?"

She still remembers that when she was just pregnant with Chu Jin, Zhao Yanping looked like she didn't care whether she had children or not.

Zhao Ge'er is sensible, Chu Jin is cute, and the children at home are so likable. Of course, Zhao Yanping is happy to add another one, but he is a little worried about Gillian's body: "You are almost thirty..."

As soon as he spoke, Gillian glared at him fiercely. Why did she dislike her for being older? She was 40 years old and she was only twenty-eight years old, so why did she get old?

Gillian can say that she is old broom and pearls. Zhao Yanping said this, Gillian will be unhappy!

When his wife glared, Zhao Yanping quickly apologized and secretly warned himself in his heart that he must not mention that word again in the future, although he was just out of concern.

The couple discussed buying a house, and Gillian went to ask her mother-in-law about her meaning.

After hearing that his daughter-in-law had done it, Liu thought it was time to buy it, so she asked Ajiao to start making arrangements. If the money on hand was not enough, she would have about a hundred taels.

Gillian has money here, so how could she use her mother-in-law?

She called Guo Xing and asked Guo Xing to go to several teeth stores in Beijing to find out if there was a suitable house. Gillian also specifically told Guo Xing to be low-key and to convey that there is indeed a need to buy a house at home, not just for enjoyment.

Guo Xing understood, he went out and ran away.

The dentists have some housing resources, but Ajiao has to consider a lot of things to buy a house this time. The new house cannot be too far from the imperial city, and it is not convenient for Zhao Yanping to go to Dali Temple to do things, nor can it be too old or too dilapidated, so it is uncomfortable to live in. The front owner of the house and the neighbors around him have to inquire about it. The murderous house that involves a murder case cannot be taken, the neighbors cannot be taken, and it is not suitable to be a noble person next door.

Before this was born in the left and right belly, Jiao would rather be insignificant than indiscriminate, so she slowly carried it to wait for the most suitable house.

As I picked it up, October passed, and it was the end of November again in a blink of an eye.

Gillian's house has not yet fallen, and Zhao Yanping brought back good news. Zhao Guanye, who had been in Zuosi Temple in Dali Temple for seven or eight years, was ranked first in the political performance this year. In addition, Xu Huo, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was impeached by the censor for personal gain and fraud, and was removed from his official position by Emperor Chunqing. Zhao Yanping was successfully promoted and became a fourth-rank Zuo Shaoqing who was only 36 years old.

Although Cui Niang became a mother, her vulgarity still remained unchanged. She came over to find out how much salary a fourth-rank official could receive.

Zhao Yanping knew that she would be curious and told Jiao in advance that when Cui Niang arrived, Zhao Yanping avoided her room and went to change her clothes.

Gillian smiled and gestured to Cui Niang to count.

A fourth-rank official has a monthly salary of 12 taels. Including the various subsidies of the court, he can get about 16 taels per month, and he will earn more than 70 taels per year than a fifth-rank official.

Cui Niang was overjoyed. She just liked to hear that the official’s salary increase was a prosperous business, and the official’s wife was living a good life, so the servants were also relieved.

After inquiring, Cui Niang happily returned to the kitchen.

Gillian went to the inner room. Zhao Yanping was changing his regular clothes. On the kang were the two red official robes newly issued by the court, embroidered with Yun Yan patches. Gillian asked Zhao Yanping to change them first, and she could change the unfit area later. Zhao Yanping remembered that the last time she modified the official uniform for him was several years ago. She walked over and held Gillian's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Have you been waiting for this day for a long time?"

Gillian really didn't expect it. After living in the capital for a long time, he knew that the bigger the official, the bigger the lawsuit, the more censors he was staring at him. He didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but there would be more and more things to worry about in his mind. The fifth rank is also very powerful, and there are houses, land and shops at home. The only thing Gillian hopes for is that the whole family is safe and safe.

"My uncle is named a marquis, and you are promoted again. Will it be too eye-catching for us to buy a house now?" Gillian was a little worried.

Zhao Yanping said: "Then there is no need. We have already started looking for it before we get promoted. Those who are interested have even heard that they are not afraid of being slanted by the shadows, and there is no need to worry about it."

Gillian was fed a reassurance by him.

After dinner, Gillian still helped Zhao Yanping change his official uniform. She felt happy when she was happy when she was having fun, so she was happy, so she naturally didn't feel tired.

Zhao Yanping's official uniforms in recent years have been blue, and his regular clothes are mostly dark plain, and he has almost never worn red. Now he has changed into a red robe, which makes him look whiter and handsome, with a bit of a groom's posture. He is so handsome that he wants to do something to his man.

Zhao Yanping actually saw a bit of lust in his little wife's eyes.

Fortunately, when he had to control himself, Zhao Yanping had always had strong self-control. He hugged Ah Gillian and kissed him, and finally coaxed him to sleep.

The next day, Zhao Yanping went to court in new clothes.

For Emperor Chunqing, those who attended the court meeting were basically old faces that had been seen for many years, and they would occasionally change them and add a few new faces. Just like the teacher in a private school would have preferred students, and Emperor Chunqing also had his preferred ministers. Some ministers were valued by him because of their outstanding abilities, and some may be moderate but have excellent eloquence and would beat the dragon's fart. As long as people did not make big mistakes, Emperor Chunqing would be more tolerant. There was also a type of minister. Emperor Chunqing favored them because they were good-looking and did nothing. They stood there, either like green pine, like clay bamboo or like beautiful jade, which made people feel comfortable.

Of course, a minister looks handsome but does bad things, and Juncheng's immortal Emperor Chunqing would not tolerate him.

In the eyes of Emperor Chunqing, Zhao Yanping was a minister who was both talented and handsome.

During the usual court meeting, Zhao Yanping had nothing to do, but Emperor Chunqing would also glance at him and cheer him up. Today, Zhao Yanping happened to have a memorial. He walked to the center of the hall with a red robe and a tablet. His appearance was graceful and steady, and his voice was also correct, clear and melodious. Emperor Chunqing felt his spirit shocked.

Some old ministers have a clear understanding of what Emperor Chunqing has. Looking at Zhao Yanping, the old ministers have to accept it even if they don’t accept it. After entering Beijing, Zhao Yanping first successfully became a disciple of Mr. Lu, and then became in-laws with the prince. He has strong abilities and has solved many old cases in Dali Temple for so many years. But he looks good and has met Emperor Chunqing’s taste in all aspects. Who can do that?

Zhao Yanping was promoted to the post himself and immediately asked his wife to be the fourth-rank lady's imperial edict.

When he first asked for a letter, he wrote two long memorials. The two adults from Taichang Temple also held a fierce debate on whether to criticize or not. This time, Zhao Yanping wrote two long memorials, and based on the first edition, he praised how his mother took care of him in recent years and how his wife was virtuous in the family.

The emperor valued Zhao Yanping, and the ministers saw it. This time, the adults of Taichang Temple read it quickly, but without much investigation, they approved it and submitted it to the imperial study room for Emperor Chunqing to make the final decision.

Various notes were placed high on the table in the imperial study room. The diligent Emperor Chunqing looked at them carefully. When he took a new notes and opened them, he immediately recognized Zhao Yanping's handwriting.

It’s not that Emperor Chunqing attached great importance to Zhao Yanping that he valued this point, but among all civil officials, Zhao Yanping, who had not taken the imperial examination, was really the ugliest handwriting, and it was so ugly that it was so distinctive. When Emperor Chunqing opened the memorial, he first remembered that the minister’s handwriting was so bad, and then he remembered, Oh, Zhao Yanping.

The memorial for the title of the imperial edict was the same. Emperor Chunqing stopped reading it, and he covered it with two red stamps, and without raising his head, he ordered Eunuch Gao to Xuan Zhao Yanping.

Zhao Yanping quickly came to meet the saint.

Emperor Chunqing took out two memorials he wrote and threw them to him: "It would be fine if your handwriting was bad when you first entered Beijing, but why did you still not make any progress after so many years? Do you think that if you have always accommodated you, you can be confident and self-confidence? Do you know that with your broken word, if you take the imperial examination, the chief examiner will not even read it, and you will never want to be an official in your life?"

A layer of sweat broke out from Zhao Yanping's forehead.

His calligraphy has always been like this. The emperor appreciated him because he could solve the case. The emperor had never criticized his calligraphy before, so Zhao Yanping didn't think there was any need to practice it. After all, the emperor and all officials knew about his origin. Is the emperor suddenly angry today because he did something wrong in other things?

Zhao Yanping didn't dare to pick up two memorials, and apologized with a cold sweat on his back, and promised that he would practice calligraphy diligently after returning home.

Emperor Chunqing snorted and stared at him, "I heard that you are busy buying a house recently and have time to practice calligraphy?"

Zhao Yanping sweated more and talked about the house again. The emperor really took his anger?

But Zhao Yanping couldn't imagine that he had made some mistakes. While reflecting, he explained that his family wanted to buy a house because they wanted to add children, but practicing calligraphy is important, so he won't buy a house anymore.

"Your wife is pregnant again?" Emperor Chunqing leaned on the dragon throne and said thoughtfully: "When there are too many children, I really can't live in a small house. Let's do this. I have a house that can be sold to you. There are enough houses, but the price before the confiscation of that house is 1,000 taels. Can you afford it?"

Zhao Yanping raised his head in shock, and then he realized that Emperor Chunqing was smiling.

Zhao Yanping looked at a memorial on the ground again, and Emperor Chunqing had already approved it.

Zhao Yanping suddenly realized that Emperor Chunqing made a secret reward, but actually wanted to sell him a suitable mansion.

His current location and in-laws are not suitable for his favor. It is easy to criticize if he buys a bad house, but if the person who sells his house is Emperor Chunqing, who dares to tell his gossip?

Zhao Yanping immediately kowtowed and said, "I thank you for your kindness! I will not hide it from the emperor. I have received the court salary every month and saved a sum of silver over the years. The capital was prosperous in peace and prosperity. My wife's embroidery shop was also profitable every year. My husband and wife worked together to save more than a thousand taels of silver. I was worried that there was no suitable house to choose. If the emperor could give it to the house, it would really solve my urgent need!"

Emperor Chunqing smiled even deeper. Zhao Yanping, who has the ability of Lu Taigong, is more eloquent than Lu Taigong. He is simply better than his superiority than his superiority.

"It's good to be able to afford it. When you go back, you can bring the money to the Ministry of Revenue to hand over. Once you have settled it, you can quickly practice your calligraphy." Emperor Chunqing picked up a copy again and lowered his head to review it.

Zhao Yanping thanked Long's kindness again and retreated in a state of excitement.

Although it was too luxurious to spend 1,000 taels to buy a house, the emperor criticized his mother and Gillian's imperial edict and rewarded him with a reward, and the family immediately had a deposit of money!
