Starting from the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Yaoyao was cooking at home. There was no way, Qingshu was so busy that she could not spare her work, so she could only handle the New Year's affairs.

The family received a reply letter this day. Yaoyao took it and saw that it was Li Nan’s wife, Mrs. Li. She put it down and said, “Reply to the Li family, saying that my mother doesn’t have time to invite her to come back after the New Year!”

She and my brother are the only ones at home, and I don’t want to entertain them.

At night, Yaoyao still told Qingshu about this: "Mom, Aunt Li sent a message today, and I will refuse to let them come after the New Year."

Qingshu nodded and said, "You can handle these things, don't report them back and forth."

Yaoyao pouted and said, "Mom, when will you and your father have a holiday? Mom, we haven't eaten together for more than a month. We don't really have to wait until New Year's Eve to have a reunion dinner, right?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "Not only your father, I don't have a holiday until the 29th day of the first lunar month."

Both husband and wife were so busy that everything at home fell on the two children.

Yaoyao said with some depression: "Mom, when my brother and I go outside to work as a job, our family will be even more unhappy."

Qingshu smiled and said, "You should go and see the vast sky outside when you grow up, otherwise you will regret it if you are trapped in the capital and wait for your old age."

After the mother and daughter finished supper, Yaoyao hugged Qingshu's arm and walked in the veranda of hand-copying, while walking, they were talking.

Yaoyao asked, "Mom, Uncle Li is going to transfer back to the capital, which yamen to transfer?"

Qingshu was a little surprised and asked, "Who told you about this? How could he be transferred back to the capital after only three years in Suzhou?"

Li Nan was a member of Fu Jingen. He followed the imperial decree in Suzhou for three years and implemented the new policy. However, officials from all over the country were doing this, and he could not show his specialness. He was a Jinshi of the Three First Class, so it was more difficult to further. This is an unwritten rule in the officialdom. If Li Nan did not make great achievements, Jingen would not make an exception for him.

"That's my misunderstanding."

Qingshu smiled and said, "Your Aunt Li came to Beijing this time for Li Sheng's marriage. She fell in love with her own cousin. This time she came to Beijing to discuss marriage."

By the way, let the two children meet, but this look is actually a formality.

When Yaoyao heard this, she said, "I remember that Li Xueer is only one year younger than her brother, so it is hard to guarantee that she will not attack my brother. Mom, don't ask your brother out then."

Mrs. Li gave her a bad impression so she was very cautious about her.

Qingshu smiled and said, "No, Li Xueer has been engaged."

Yaoyao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to get engaged."

Taking this opportunity, Qingshu asked, "Yaoyao, you're going to be in trouble next year. Have you ever thought about what kind of husband you will marry in the future?"

"Dad like that."

Her thoughts have never changed very firmly.

Qingshu smiled and said, "Don't think too much about your father."

Yaoyao opened her eyes wide and asked, "Is my father not good?"

Everyone praised his father as a flower outside, and everyone said that his father was a peerless good man.

Qingshu did not talk about Fu Jingen's shortcomings, but said: "The emperor was extremely dangerous to fight for the throne back then. Your father's life was hanging on the line several times. I was worried every day. Later, the emperor ascended the throne and your father suppressed bandits and went to Fuzhou. My mother had to work as a servant in Beijing and took care of your brothers and sisters, and she had to take care of her business and common affairs. At that time, she was so tired that she didn't want to get up even if she lay in bed."

Those years were really hard, and she was in good health at that time. If it were the ones who were now physically unbearable.

Yaoyao has no memory of that time, but she also heard from others about Qingshu's hard work: "You don't have to work so hard when your father is back."

Qingshu asked, "It's okay to work harder. If you are young and tired, you'll have a good sleep. The main reason is that you are worried all day long, for fear that your father will suffer an accident one day."

Yaoyao hugged her and said, "Mom, thank you for your hard work."

Qingshu patted her on the back and said, "Mom said these words to you. I hope you know that no one is perfect. Your father is not someone else, and it is impossible for him to be. Everyone has good and bad. You should appreciate the other person's strengths and weaken his weaknesses."

Yaoyao smiled and said, "Mom, I understand. As for the marriage, it's still early to say that I'm sixteen years old!"

Although I know that I can't escape that day, I will deal with it this year and next two years.

Qingshu responded and said, "It would be better if you can fall in love with it yourself, so I don't have to help you see you."

Yaoyao responded with a smile, and then said to Qingshu: "Mom, I have been thinking about it these days, and I still want to go to the Ministry of Justice. Mom, I know you are for my own good, but I prefer the Ministry of Justice."

Qingshu didn't ask her why she suddenly changed her mind, but just explained: "Your father asked you to go to the Ministry of Personnel. The reason why I didn't object was that you wanted you to stay in the Ministry of Personnel for a year first, and then go to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works for a year. When you are eighteen years old, you can be released."

The reason why she was not arranged to go to the Ministry of Justice was because she was already familiar with it. In the future, she was the county magistrate in charge of the government and would only investigate the case but not enough, she would definitely know everything.

Yaoyao thought for a while and said, "Mom, I will go to the Ministry of Justice first and then to the Ministry of Personnel then to the Ministry of Personnel. I won't go to the Ministry of Works anymore. I have also learned about water conservancy and only practice."

Seeing her insistence, Qingshu nodded and said, "Since you want to go, then I'll make arrangements."

"Thank you, mom."

As Qingshu expected, Fu Jingen didn't come back until the evening of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and when she entered the house, she brought a cold air.

He went to bed after a hot shower and had a midnight snack.

Qingshu asked next to him, "How many days off this time? Isn't it going to have another three days off like before?"

Fu Jingen hugged her and said with a smile: "I will take six days off and go back to work as a job at the sixth day of the lunar month. I have been busy for a year and it's time to take a few days off."

"Well, then you won't go anywhere and stay at home, and it's just right to spend time with your children. The two children are older and may have to go outside in a few years. It will be difficult to see them again in the future."

Fu Jingen said: "If you can't bear to leave, let them stay in the capital in turn."

At this time, the disadvantages of having fewer children are highlighted. If there are too many children, the smaller ones can stay with you.

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, we are still young and have to think about it. We can go see them when we are old and can't walk before we can let them come back."

After sighing, Qingshu said, "Yaoyao told me two days ago that she was going to the Ministry of Justice. I have agreed and made arrangements."

Fu Jingen was silent and said, "If she wants to go to the Ministry of Justice, let her go!"

Qingshu was a little surprised and said, "I thought you would object?"

Fu Jingen said: "A month ago, the queen told me that Azhen had already learned something, but he was worried about his identity and his incomplete body, so he kept this thought in his heart. Not to mention her and the emperor, I didn't even notice it."

Even he and the emperor had deceived him. Fu Jingen couldn't help but look at him with admiration, so he was not so repulsive about this matter. Of course, the premise was that this kid could impress Yaoyao, otherwise everything would be fine.
