Daqing, Kyoto...
After the war ended, Helian Jing was content to serve as the crown prince, performing his duties conscientiously every day. He had outstanding abilities and won the recognition and support of all the court officials.
The people also had high praise for this virtuous prince, and the emperor began to hand over some political affairs to him, while he himself began to retreat behind the scenes.
He had worked hard in the first half of his life and only slept three hours a day. Now it was time for him to have a good rest.
He didn't know why, maybe it was because he worked too hard in the first half of his life, his health seemed to be not as good as before. He felt a sense of loss, and suddenly he had some free time. Some minor ailments began to bother him.
Indeed, people cannot sit idle, but they also cannot refuse to accept old age.
News came from Luosha that Fang Miao had successfully given birth to a princess, who would be taught personally by Empress Joseline in the future.
The emperor was quite pleased. If his granddaughter could become an empress in the future, it would be more conducive to the peaceful development of the two countries.
In the past two years, Xiao Hechuan still stayed in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a second-rank official position, and could not move up any further.
He is young, having already reached this position in his twenties, and his ability is unquestionable. Under his leadership, the Ministry of Revenue is managed much better than under the previous Minister of Revenue.
In the blink of an eye, little Mingxi is almost three years old. He can already run and jump. Because of his father's perfect genes and talents, the little guy can talk fluently with adults before he is three years old, but his pronunciation is not standard.
The first word he learned was to call "Mom". When Jiang Sui heard this babyish voice, tears instantly filled his eyes.
How can I describe that feeling? It feels like my life is worth it.
He looked very much like his father when he was a child and was a quick learner. Under Xiao Hechuan's instruction, he could already write his own name very neatly.
I can also recite many simple poems.
News came from Jeju that the eldest brother's son Xiao Yuan had passed the examination and became a scholar. So, it has been almost eight years since Jiang Sui came to this dynasty. When he first came, Yuan was only six years old, and now in the blink of an eye he has grown to fourteen years old.
He studied hard, passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen, and was admitted to Baiyun Academy. He would become a top candidate with a bright future.
Xuxu is almost twelve years old this year. In the past few years, under the management of the three brothers, the noodle shop has opened branches in various counties and towns throughout Jeju.
Anyway, the three brothers divided it equally, with each taking charge of a part, and how much they could earn was up to them.
The hairpin shop and rouge shop of the eldest and third sisters-in-law also became famous in Jeju Prefecture, expanded in scale, and made a lot of money.
As for the second sister-in-law, because of her personality, she is the kind of person who is dedicated to her duties. She is a very traditional and simple woman. She has never been to school, so she has no special skills. She just wants to stay at home and take care of her husband and children.
It just so happened that her eldest and third sisters-in-law were busy with their business, so she stayed at home to take care of the household and take care of Xiao's father and mother, as well as a group of children.
The children are growing up slowly. Now they can run, jump and make noises. Their parents are busy with business, so second sister-in-law Zhou is responsible for helping them share the pressure of raising children on weekdays, and she enjoys doing it.
With my own twins, the little one from my eldest sister-in-law's family, and the two children from my third child's family, the house is very lively.
With so many children, the house Xiao Hechuan bought before was no longer big enough to live in. Now the family has moved to the wealthy area of Jeju, bought a big house, and bought many servants to serve and manage it. Now they have become a wealthy family.
As for Xiao's mother, she also lived the kind of life that she used to say was that of an old lady, with her children and grandchildren surrounding her every day.
Last year, Xiao Lanlan gave birth to another son for the Su family. They named him Su Hongcheng, a name chosen by Mr. Su himself. He will be the only heir of the Su family in the future.
The changes in this life also changed Mr. Su's fate. Without Su Yanli's persecution, he was living his life peacefully and was still in good health.
In recent years, Su Yanqing opened the Jishan Hall in Kyoto, and his family also prepared to develop in Kyoto.
There is a vast land and abundant resources at the foot of the emperor. Bringing your children here to develop their lives will broaden their horizons in the future.
Su Yanqing said in the letter that he planned to move his family to Kyoto after the New Year.
…
That day, after the morning court session, Helian Jing invited Xiao Hechuan to the East Palace to discuss matters. As soon as they entered the East Palace, a little girl in pink clothes took unsteady steps and stumbled towards Helian Jing. The tassels of the small ornaments on her head kept making noises when they collided with each other.
Behind him followed a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, shouting:
"Little Princess, please run slowly, and don't fall."
That’s right, this is Helian Jing’s daughter Helian Yao, who is almost three years old now. Because she inherited the beauty of her parents, she is as pretty as a New Year picture doll and extremely cute.
"Daddy, hug me~"
She ran directly to Helian Jing, tried to raise her head, ran out of breath, and opened her arms to act coquettishly with Helian Jing.
Helian Jing has no resistance when facing his daughter. To others, he is always very serious and impartial, but when facing his wife and children, he can always immediately turn the coldness on his face into tenderness.
He bent down and picked up the little girl, who then hugged his neck and gave him a kiss on the face, causing Helian Jing to smile uncontrollably. He even glanced at Xiao Hechuan provocatively, as if to say, "Are you jealous? You don't have any!"
"Yao'er, be good and call me Uncle Xiao!"
"Hello, Uncle Xiao~"
The little girl called Uncle Xiao in a childish voice, and he couldn't help but feel his heart melt, so he stretched out his hand and said:
"Uncle Xiao, can you give me a hug?"
Helian Yao likes Xiao Hechuan very much because he is handsome, and she likes playing with his family's Xiao Mingxi, and she also likes Aunt Xiao very much.
So, the little girl was naturally willing to be held by him, so she stretched out her little hand, but when she was about to be hugged by Helian Jing, she dodged away.
"Like? Go give birth to one yourself. What's the point of hugging someone else's daughter?"
Xiao Hechuan: "..."
Six, his silence at this moment is deafening!
"He's such a grown man, but he's still so stingy. Sir Xiao, please don't bother with him!"
At this time, Xia Wanning suddenly appeared, holding a smaller version of Helian Jing, also known as Helian Min.
The little guy is very well behaved. He has been calm and introverted since he was young and never makes any noise.
"Meet Uncle Xiao!"
At the age of three, he already knew how to perform standard etiquette.
"Greetings to the Crown Princess, greetings to the Young Master!" Xiao Hechuan still followed the etiquette.
However, he remembered that Helian Jing had just mocked him for not having a daughter.
