Chapter 1063 State affairs and family affairs are the most important

The implementation of money tickets is an extremely important and arduous project. As the leader and advocate of this matter, Li Ling was so busy during this period.

Not only do we have to constantly meet with merchants in Luoyang City and persuade them to promote and implement the money bill according to their own wishes, but we also have to meet again and again with the monarch and ministers in the court to persuade them.

In fact, it is easier to convince Emperor Sun Bi. Because he has a lot of trust in Li Ling and knows the many intentions he has included in doing so, even though he has some doubts because of the close time, he gradually agreed after several meetings and explanations.

However, many officials in the court criticized this. At first, they suspected that he was doing this to enrich his personal pockets and use his power for personal gain, and then they were even more worried that he would harm the country and the people... Anyway, they did not agree with Li Ling's practice of using paper money instead of gold, silver and coins, especially when the Sansi Yamen decided to pay the salary of the officials in April next year, the silver and money part of the officials was also paid in April, which caused an uproar in the court, and almost everyone was opposing it.

Fortunately, the emperor came forward and forced the repression, and the dispute was temporarily stopped. But everyone knows that the peace now is temporary. When the money is really issued, many people will be wrongly resisted. Once a problem arises, it will be criticized by many people and Li Ling will be even more in the forefront.

Because of this, Li Ling did not dare to slack off during this period. Even though it was New Year's Eve, he was still busy dealing with related matters in the yamen. It was not until dark that Li Moyun came to urge him three times before he put down his Chinese books, rubbed his eyebrows, and stood up.

At this time, the Sansi Yamen had already been quiet, and only the two of them were left.

At this time, Li Ling remembered that it was New Year's Eve, and his family was waiting at home for him to go back to reunite. He felt guilty in his heart, so he quickly cleaned up and quickly left with Li Moyun.

There is no way to do this. Who would have to rest until the long holiday of the Spring Festival, and then the issuance of money tickets. There were only a few days of buffering preparations in the middle, so I could only work until now.

While riding a horse with Li Moyun and others, Li Ling found that the other party was looking like he wanted to speak but stopped, and smiled and said, "What do you have to say, just say it."

Li Moyun stumbled for a moment, and then whispered: "Young Master, I think you have been too busy and neglected in the family this year. The wife is virtuous, so naturally she won't complain, but after hearing from Sister Le, she is actually quite depressed on weekdays and is afraid that you will worry, so..."

Li Ling's heart suddenly shook, and then he suddenly realized that he had put too much thought on official business over the past year and had less care for his family. Just like today, it was obviously New Year's Eve, but he was still working in the yamen until dark, completely ignoring the feelings of his family... They were all waiting at home for them to go back to celebrate the New Year.

Now, his guilt became deeper.

I can explain myself by doing things for the court, but I still can't get through the hurdle in my heart.

What is the purpose of working hard to become an official? Is it for the illusory world peace, the country is prosperous and the people are at peace?

No, as an official, I always think that I can let myself live a better life for my family. As the saying goes, you can help the world with both wealth, but there is no need to abandon my family and business for this...



It seems that I did something wrong and did something wrong. After this time, it is time to change my original behavior and put more thoughts back to my family itself.

Thinking of this, he thought of his younger sister Yue'er. Since his younger sister married into the palace and became Sun Bi's concubine, he had never communicated with Yue'er much in order to avoid suspicion. I don't know if she was doing well in the palace or whether she was bullied... He, the elder brother, was too irresponsible.

"Let's go back quickly, don't let them wait!" Li Ling finally let out a breath of turbid air, then whipped the horse hard, and took the lead in rushing forward. Seeing this, Li Moyun quickly urged the horse to follow. As for the other guards who followed behind and dared not eavesdrop on the eavesdropping, he quickly accelerated when he saw this. For a moment, the sound of horse hooves rang like raindrops on the open long street, making the imperial city particularly quiet.

As Li Moyun said, Yang Qingxiao showed the virtuousness that a wife should have. After Li Ling returned home, she did not complain at all, but just went to the atrium to greet her, removed her coat for her husband, and put on home clothes for him with her own hands, and then took him to the restaurant beside her for dinner.

And the more she did this, the more she felt sad. At this time, she seized the opportunity, took his wife's hand, and whispered: "Qingxiao, I'm sorry to you..."

"Hmm?" Yang Qingxiao suddenly turned her head, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her face was full of suspicion and alertness: "Li Lang, do you have other women outside?" Thinking that she is pregnant now and her husband's identity is so high, she might have acted like a hiding charm in the golden house, but today she is planning to showdown.

"No, that's fine, where do you want to go?" Li Ling waved his hand to deny it quickly, and felt a little sweaty in his heart. Well, this woman's thinking is too jumping and weird, and she can't keep up with her at all.

But he didn't stop and immediately expressed the guilt he thought about along the way, and finally sighed: "I know it's a bit late to say this now, but I will definitely change it next... When the money and ticket matters pass, I will take less errands and spend more time with you and your daughter at home."

Yang Qingxiao, who was a little vigilant, was stunned at first after hearing his words, and then smiled, but finally looked at her husband with some resentment: "You only know that you have neglected us recently? But I also know that since you are a senior official in the court and naturally have a lot of affairs, how can you always be with us like ordinary men?

"Everyone said that I regret that I would like to teach my husband to find a title. In fact, I really hope that Li Lang, you can do something big. Just like my father at that time, my mother never blamed him for it. As long as you have us in your heart and can think of us, it is enough..."

"Qingxiao..." Li Ling felt even more moved and ashamed when he heard his wife's understanding speech. He didn't care about the others around him, so he hugged her in his arms and kissed her on the face.

This emotional expression made everyone stunned, and Yang Qingxiao's face turned red with shame, and she didn't know what to react. The servants all turned around and pretended that they hadn't seen anything, but their surprised and shy expressions were completely betrayed themselves.

At this moment, under the front porch, a cute and silly girl's voice sounded: "Dad, your biological mother, I'm so embarrassed...

…”Okay, the others might not dare to point out this matter, but their daughter did not have such concerns and immediately started yelling not far away.

This made Yang Qingxiao even more embarrassed and was about to hide in Li Ling's arms. However, Li Ling was not moved and continued to hug his wife and smiled: "We are all at home, we are husband and wife again, what's the point of being a little more intimate? I just want to tell you that I will change next and will not ignore your feelings again."

Feeling the warmth and strength of her husband's arms, Yang Qingxiao's heart slowly calmed down. After nodding softly, she did not escape. She just let her husband hug her half and came to her daughter, but she was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to react.

"Let's go, prepare for dinner. Today is the big day, we have to reunite well." Li Ling said, then reached out and grabbed his daughter's hand, and the family of three went straight into the hall.

This New Year's Eve dinner was a few months since the family had gathered together. Although it was a little late, everyone still had a good meal and kept talking and laughing. Especially Li Nianyou, the little girl, couldn't help but whisper to her cousin, the girl who had changed her name to Li Tangtang, and glanced at her parents in front of her from time to time, just like a little gossip.

Li Ling had no intention of stopping this, but he just kept talking to his sisters and the others about his negligence and promised that after next year, he would focus more on his family. In this way, he naturally won everyone's praise and joy, and a lot of laughter.

It was not until halfway through the family dinner that Li Le'er said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I saw Le'er, and I really miss her."

"Yes, I miss her too, and I don't know how she is doing in the palace. Has anyone been bullied?" Yang Qingxiao continued with concern. In fact, as her decree wife, she could still find opportunities to enter the harem, but in order not to cause trouble for her husband, she had never been there.

After hearing what their sister-in-law said, Li Ling felt that it was a bit bad to let the little sister stay in the palace in this way, so he smiled and said, "How about this, after two days, all the things in the palace will be over. You can go there for me and take Yue'er out to stay at home for a few days?"

"Is this OK? Will the emperor be dissatisfied?" Li Le'er asked uneasyly.

"It's okay, I know the best of your character. He won't care about this little thing. Besides, other concubines can't go home just because their families are not in the capital, but my younger sister is different. We are all in Luoyang. Isn't it normal to pick her up and stay for a few days? Well, that's it, I'll talk to Your Majesty." Li Ling decided immediately.

Seeing that the head of the family had decided, the others naturally had no time to say anything, so they nodded and agreed, and then put the topic elsewhere.

In this way, the family's New Year's Eve dinner was only after the second update of the second day of the year.

As the third update passed, the first year of Tianyou was over, and the next one was the crucial second year of Tianyou.
