After a busy day, Qian Zheng’s first thing when he went home was to go back to the backyard to pay homage to his sister-in-law.

Many years ago, the young Qian Zheng followed his mother, and his brother was almost kicked out. His elder brother Qian Rui did not hesitate to give up his career, do business and support his family, and also provide Qian Zheng with his studies.

Qian Zheng was also a success. He passed the imperial examination and was on the imperial list. He married the daughter of the Jinshi of the two lists, but he knew very well how all this came about.

After passing the Jinshi, Qian Rui resolutely split up despite Qian Zheng's opposition. This made Qian Zheng feel grateful and guilt deep in his heart. After hearing the news that his elder brother had suffered an unexpected surprise, Qian Zheng felt even more guilty.

After finally waiting for his sister-in-law to enter Beijing, Qian Zheng never slacked off every morning and night... So, he has been very disliked by his nephew recently.

Qian Yuan has always been a night owl, and he may go around for a while at night, in the morning... that is, there is no morning court now, otherwise his virtue would be impeached and removed from office by the censor of the court sooner or later.

"The second brother is here." Tan, who was discussing the dowry list with Lu, said with a smile: "Today, the Lin family has sent a letter. The furniture in the Lin family's old house has been made and it will be delivered in a few days. The furniture of the new house has been almost completed in the past two days."

"Tsk tsk, it's Yuan'er, so why do the others make so many mahogany?" Lu said with a smile: "The masters I hired are all assigned by the Ministry of Works, and they are all good craftsmen."

"The Lin family has many officials, and the old houses in the capital have to be passed on forever." Tan has also thought about it these days. It is not a bad thing for his son to buy so many dowry for his daughter.

Qian Zheng put a few interesting words and asked, "Where is Yuan'er?"

"He is in Suiyuan." Tan didn't care. "Anyway, he gave half of Quanjude, so we'll do the rest."

Qian Zheng turned his gaze to his wife, who shook his head slightly.

"Sister-in-law, the money will be ruined in the morning and evening." Qian Zheng said with a dark face: "If you say it, you will be embarrassed!"

"Yuan'er doesn't know much about it every day. It's better to have time to make him brisk and brisk." Tan's attention was still on the dowry list, thinking about whether to add or not, "Would you like to add some hairpins?"

"Leave it to my granddaughter in the future?" Lu covered his mouth and smiled, "Sister-in-law is thinking awkwardly. What is Yuan'er's weight in Beijing now... The Lin family has been in office for five generations, and there are countless old friends in the family. At that time, many female relatives will add makeup... Besides, the hairpins that are being beaten now may not be suitable for use by then."

"That's right." Tan also smiled, "Why would you add a silver box?"

"Don't add it to the dowry list, just take it privately then."

Qian Zheng couldn't help it over there, "Sister-in-law, now Yuan'er has joined the Censorate and is often absent from time to time. Many censors impeached..."

"Then I won't be this official!" Tan complained, seeing Qian Zheng's face look ugly, and sighed before saying, "Second brother, I know your kindness, but over the years... since the 32nd year of Jiajing, Yuan'er went to Hangzhou, and every time he used a knife and gun, he personally fought, how many times..."

Speaking of this, Tan's eyes turned red, his nose felt sore, and he almost burst into tears.

Lu glared at her husband and said softly: "Yuan'er went south twice. What a big deal he did? He finally returned to Beijing. What's wrong with his life for a quicker period... is it going to get in your way?!"

Qian Zheng's lips moved, but he still didn't say anything in the end... A joke happened today. He met Zuodu Censor Zhou Yan by chance. He thought that his family was busy preparing for the marriage during this period and wanted to say hello to his nephew. Unexpectedly, people told him... Qian Yuan had asked for a month's leave at one time a few days ago.

When Zhou Yan smiled and talked about this, Qian Zheng's face turned red... It wasn't his son, otherwise he would have a whip... no! Ten whips!

Tan wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "My sister-in-law doesn't understand those big things, but in Linhai, she has been in Zhenhai for three years. Yuan'er frowned every day and sighs every day. The candlelight in the study is often not extinguished all night..."

"It's a good thing to be able to relax now," Lu coughed twice, "Now there is no Mr. Dongbi."

Qian Zheng was shocked. After the 35th year of Jiajing war in Jiaxing, Qian Yuan returned to Beijing and fell asleep for a day and two nights due to exhaustion of his energy. If Li Shizhen had not been there, he would have been afraid that it would be difficult to save him, so it would be better to relax for a while... But the problem is, can he spend his energy every day saving in the morning and evening?

Lu pulled Tan to discuss the dowry list again. Qian Zheng went out silently. After thinking for a while, he went to Suiyuan along the corridor. After a while, he saw under a big tree in the yard. His nephew was lying on a rattan chair, his raised right foot was still shaking in the air.

No matter how you look, you look like you are lazy...

After just a few glances, Qian Zheng couldn't stand it anymore. It would be better to turn around silently, but it would be better to be out of sight.

"The watermelon in the north is just not good enough." Qian Yuan threw away the watermelon peel and muttered, seeing Wang coming over, and smiled and said, "Sister, at this time, there should be grapes in the southeast."

"You are so comfortable." Wang has not come to Suiyuan once or twice these days, but he is still a little restrained.

The people in Suiyuan all have separate monasteries here, and there are many specially separated study rooms and living rooms, and calligraphy and paintings can be seen everywhere... It is no exaggeration to say that these calligraphy and paintings will be left to future generations, and they will be good things that can be entered into museums.

"Oh, my brother-in-law has asked." Qian Yuan stood up and handed over the watermelon. "Brother Junze is a doctor in Fangsi, a department of the Ministry of War. Yesterday, he received a military report. My brother-in-law led his army to a boat and landed at the junction of Huizhou Prefecture and Chaozhou Prefecture. He defeated the enemy in three battles and went north to pursue him."

Wang was excited, "Where is General Yu?"

"Brother Zhifu rushed south to clear the siege of Xingning, join forces with the admiral Wu Guifang in Guangdong and Guangxi, and fight steadily." Qian Yuan saw that the sky was dark and entered the side hall with Wang. "If there is no accident, this year, he will be able to wipe out the Japanese pirates, the thief army, and the Qing and Guangdong areas."

Wang breathed a sigh of relief, "Has the wedding date not settled yet?"

"It's about mid-August." Qian Yuan leaned lazily on the chair, "Isn't it so uneasy for him?"

"Your mouth!" Wang glared, his eyes falling on a picture of ink on the wall behind Qian Yuan.

"A few days ago, talking about the Southeast grapes..." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Wen was in a whim and painted this grape picture with ink. Sun Yat-sen wrote poems to record them. Pan Siming picked up his pen and followed him with a stroke. This person was the second best person in Jiajing for 20 years. He served as a lecturer in Hanlin and served as a lecturer. His calligraphy was praised by His Highness Yu. Brother Wen also praised him as the only one in the Southeast."

Wang's eyes were quite envious. This era was the era of the supreme Jinshi. Qi Jiguang made such a contribution in the southeast, but he did not dare to offend any scholar. Even a scholar did not dare to offend him. Who knew who was standing behind him?

"Xiao Anguo is five years old this year, and it will be time to start enlightenment in two years." Qian Yuan said casually: "I will arrange at that time that the Lin family in Min County is good, and the private schools in Shaoxing are also good... Why? You can't let Xiao Anguo be a military general, right?"

"The Qi family inherited the assistant commander of Dengzhou Guard..." Wang shook his head, "Besides, military origin..."

"So what if you are from a military family?" Qian Yuan curled his lips, "Uncle Zhang is also from a military family. Wu Junze, among the scholars in Suiyuan, is also from a military family. Hu Zongxian is also from a military family!"

"But I don't know where my brother-in-law will be transferred in the future... But don't worry, I will arrange it at that time. It's always a good thing to enlighten first. As you get older, you will practice martial arts. In the future, both civil and military skills will be good!"

Wang thought to himself, if his son really has some talent in studying and complains to his husband, he would also find a way to let his son go this way.

Think about it, which one in Suiyuan is not a two-list Jinshi, most of them are passed down from generation to generation due to their literary reputation. There are only five or six from Hanlin alone. If you can get the teachings...

Wang was thinking about it, and Qian Yuan said casually: "By the way, Xiaoqi will let you go tomorrow... Uh, go out to burn incense, sister, let's go together."

"After pregnancy..."

"If you don't go out for a walk, you'll be suffocated." Qian Yuan also sympathized with his wife. Pregnant women in this era are really miserable.

Wang asked curiously: "It's been almost ten days since I entered Beijing. I see you are always in Suiyuan, don't you have to go to the yamen?"
