Linlang has been very busy recently. She goes to the study as soon as she comes back from the clinic and also goes to the study after dinner. Although Yier really wants to be with his mother, his mother is busy, so he plays obediently with his uncle Moer.
Daddy and Uncle Chen were equally busy, only having time to play with him on their days off. During the day, Uncle Moer had to study and practice martial arts, and climb over the wall to visit Aunt Yueer, so he could only play with his great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and younger uncle. Occasionally, his grandfather would take him for a horse ride.
Everyone was so busy. Yier sat on the Arhat bed and sighed.
Seeing Yi'er sighing like a little adult, the old lady smiled and said, "Dad and Mom are busy and have no time to accompany Yi'er. Yi'er is sighing."
The old marquis hurriedly picked up Yi'er with a distressed look on his face and said, "Come on, great-grandfather will take you to see the fighting geese."
When he heard that they were going out to play, Yier became excited. His legs were thrashing and he wished he could walk by himself.
The old marquis patted Yi'er's butt gently and said, "Stinky boy, when you grow up, don't be a playboy who fights cocks and touches dogs."
Yier could tell the difference between good and bad words, and shook his head like a rattle. No, no, no, he wanted to be the top scholar like his father.
He struggled to utter a word, "Dad~"
The old marquis laughed heartily, "Hahaha, good, good, the boy has ideals."
My great-grandson is so ambitious. I must win the goose fighting today and stew the goose in an iron pot for him.
After a busy period, Linlang's gift was ready.
That night, after the family of three washed up, the couple played with Yier for a while. After coaxing Yier to sleep, Linlang took out a booklet and handed it to Amu.
"Amu, this is a gift I prepared for you. I hope it will be helpful to you."
There is a cute picture on the cover, a family of three holding hands. Linlang is not good at drawing, but she likes Q-version, but she can draw it easily.
Ah Mu fell in love with her at first sight, "This is me, this is my wife, and in my wife's arms is Yi'er."
It was the first time he saw this kind of painting technique. It was very novel and cute, and he liked it very much.
"My lady, I really like your gift."
"I knew you would like it." Linlang asked him to open the booklet. "You will like the contents inside even more."
"good."
Amu thought the content inside must be similar to the cover, recording the happy life of their family of three. But when he opened the cover and saw the words inside, he was shocked beyond words.
"Linlang, this..."
Ah Mu continued to read, and this time, he was completely attracted by the content inside. He had never heard of these things before, and had never seen them before. He sat down and read quietly.
Linlang was by his side, and if he didn't understand something, she would explain it to him carefully and in detail.
This booklet was a gift for Amu, compiled by Linlang after more than half a month of recollection based on what she had learned in modern times. It included information about bridges, the Grand Canal, the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, the Karez Well, and more. She wrote down everything she knew, including the principles of construction, in great detail.
The things inside are the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people for thousands of years. I hope they can be of some help to Amu and the people of Jingchao.
Amu was thirsty for knowledge and decided to read late into the night. He couldn't fall asleep until he finished reading all the knowledge in the book.
Linlang could understand his feelings, but she couldn't stay up late. "Amu, I'll accompany my son to sleep. You can take your time to read it."
Ah Mu reluctantly put down the booklet, hugged Linlang's waist, and put his face on Linlang's belly. "My dear, I love your gift so much. The content inside is so attractive to me. Maybe I can't sleep with you and our son tonight."
"It's okay, just keep watching and go to bed early after you finish."
However, when Linlang woke up, she saw that it was almost dawn outside and Ah Mu was still sitting there, watching with great interest. Not only was he watching, he also took a pen and paper and wrote down his analysis on the paper.
Linlang knew that he must have not slept all night. She should have known this would happen. She should have given it to him during the day.
Before eating, Amu put down the booklet, went up to hug Linlang, and said excitedly, "My dear, thank you for the gift you carefully prepared. I like it very much."
"You know so much, like a treasure. You are my master."
"My lady, thank you so much."
There were tears in Amu's eyes. Being able to marry Linlang and having such an excellent wife, what else could a husband ask for!
Linlang put her arms around his waist and said, "You and I are one, and what you are doing is for the country and the people, so of course I will do my best to help you."
"Alright, hurry up and wash up. We have to go to the government office to work soon. We haven't slept all night. Why don't we ask Chen Dong to take a day off?"
It’s better not to go to the yamen with such a small monthly salary.
Ah Mu agreed, "My wife is right. I need to take a day off. I need to study it carefully."
As a result, Amu studied in the study all day and even ate in the study.
It's a rare occasion for dad to rest at home, so Yier doesn't go anywhere and stays with dad in the study.
Daddy reads and writes, Yier plays with toys on the soft couch, lies down when he is tired, and then takes a nap.
Yier is very well behaved and doesn't make any noise or trouble. As long as he is with his daddy, it doesn't matter if he doesn't play with him.
When Linlang came back, she saw her son sitting on the couch, playing with toys quietly, occasionally looking up at Amu who was writing and drawing.
That look was so indescribably gentle that it melted Linlang's heart.
This shows how much the son loves and admires his father.
Linlang stood at the door and watched for a long time. The scene was so warm that she couldn't bear to disturb it.
It was Yier who saw her, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hands, asking for a hug from his mother.
The mother and son got close for a while, and Linlang took her son to the kitchen so as not to disturb Amu. "I bought hairy crabs today. Let's go take a look."
When he arrived at the kitchen, Mo'er was fiddling with hairy crabs, and standing next to him was Xiao Dezi, who was sent by the emperor to serve him.
In addition to Xiao Dezi, there were two older guards.
Yier was very happy to see the crabs and always wanted to reach out and catch them.
Linlang smiled and said, "I really want you to catch one, so you can know how dangerous crabs are."
Mo'er and Yi'er looked at her in surprise, because Linlang's smile at this moment was as scary as the witch in her story.
The days passed in a joyful atmosphere, and after a long time after the Double Ninth Festival, it was the emperor's birthday.
This year's Wanshou Festival was celebrated with lights and decorations everywhere and people singing and dancing.
Envoys from various countries presented their state gifts respectfully, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
The officials and common people of the Jing Dynasty held their heads high and spoke with more confidence than before. This confidence was given by the powerful country.
The smile on the emperor's face never faded.
The entire Jing Dynasty was immersed in joy.
The Chinese New Year is coming after the Wanshou Festival, and as a married woman, Linlang has to prepare New Year gifts for her parents' home.
She now owns a farm, shops and workshops, and has enough money to prepare generous gifts for the Anchang Marquisate and the Rong family.
The gifts from both families were comparable, but Linlang privately gave Rong Bowen one thousand taels of silver.
"Dad, don't refuse. Now is the time to spend money. My eldest brother is getting married, and there are many places to spend money. I have money now, and I should be filial to you."
Knowing his daughter's intentions, Rong Bowen accepted it. It was worth it to have such a thoughtful little girl.
