The empress dowager's funeral was extremely complicated, and it was three months after Shuwan and the emperor finished their work.

After finally resting, Shuwan felt that the bones in her body seemed to be brittle.The emperor was also exhausted, he still had to deal with government affairs, and his mood was depressed. His eye bags were black and black, and his eye sockets were sunken.

Shuwan is rare and virtuous, so she went to the kitchen to make soup for the emperor herself.Xiaobao took his wife and child to the kitchen to chat with Shuwan.

"Emiang, I'll help you." Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Xiaobao hurriedly stopped her, "This is the soup full of love that Er Niang specially cooked for Ama, don't make trouble!"

Jiaojiao covered her mouth and snickered, "Yes, yes! I was reckless!"

Shuwan grabbed the ginkgo fruit on the next plate and rewarded each of them, "You two! Are you looking for a dozen!"

Xiao Bao rubbed his forehead that was hit, but still had a smile on his face.

His son squatted on the ground, picked up the ginkgo fruit, and opened his mouth to eat it.

Shuwan rushed to hug him, "Hey, you can't eat this! This is the material for making soup! Come here, grandma will bring you pastries."

Shuwan picked up the child and hugged her in her arms, and went to get a jujube flower cake from the steamer.

The pastry was piping hot, Shuwan chopped it up with a spoon, cooled it down and fed it to her little grandson.

"We've been so busy these days that our family didn't have time to talk. How are you doing in Jiangnan?"

Xiaobao often sends letters back, but the length of the letters is limited, and many things cannot be explained in detail, which is far less clear than talking face to face.

Xiaobao said: "We have money and power, so it is convenient for us to do anything. The model of the academy is copied from the Hongde Academy in the capital, but a little modification has been made according to the customs in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many talents in the south of the Yangtze River. In two years, our first batch of Students will be able to go to Beijing to take the exam selection.”

Jiaojiao complained: "Everything is good in Jiangnan, but there are too many stinky rules. I grew up in the capital, and my little sisters often made appointments to go shopping and watch theaters together. It's good to be in Jiangnan, and there are almost no girls on the street. .Those wives and ladies really don’t leave the house, and many girls from the official family have never left the house before leaving the cabinet.”

Shuwan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Don't they feel bored?"

In the capital city, it is common for girls to go shopping on horseback. In recent years, Shuwan has arranged for her nieces to work, which has driven the atmosphere in the capital city to become more and more open. Many women come out to work, and everyone is not surprised.

Jiaojiao complained louder, "Maybe they've been caged birds and haven't seen the sun outside, so they don't feel bored! Every time I go out on horseback, I'm surrounded by people, I'm really going to be pissed off by them!"

Shuwan scolded: "They must be out of their minds! When you go out, take a carriage if you like, and ride a horse if you like to ride a horse. A bunch of bumpkins who have never seen the world! Really, let us Jiaojiao be wronged."

Jiaojiao pouted and nodded vigorously.

Xiaobao thought, you Jiaojiao are really wronged, she was riding out for the first time, she ordered the guards to arrest anyone who dared to look twice, and yelled for the guards to gouge people's eyes, scaring the passers-by enough.She also often makes preparations for banquets. The pastime for other people's banquets is to beat drums to pass flowers or serve wine orders. She leads people to ride horses and shoot arrows.

Shuwan said: "Jiaojiao! Don't embarrass yourself. If you are unhappy in Jiangnan, you can come back!"

Xiaobao: "My wife is back, what should I do?"

"Of course you want to come back!" Shuwan squinted at him, as if questioning why he would ask such a stupid question, "Woman sings, husband follows, if you don't follow Jiaojiao, who do you want to follow?"

Xiaobao: "..." Okay!I have become a pendant!

Jiaojiao covered her mouth and snickered, she knew that Shuwan was joking, the academy in Jiangnan had just been built, Xiaobao and the others returned to Beijing, the academy suddenly changed management, there would definitely be problems.Little Treasure is willing to hand over the academy to others to ruin it!

Jiaojiao smiled and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Queen Mother, there is one thing I almost forgot. Didn't we also build a junior academy and an intermediate academy in Jiangnan! This time when I return to Beijing, those junior academies The children of my family sent me many articles, saying that I should take them to the capital and show them to the emperor.

Most of these articles are praising Huang Ama, but there are a few articles that praise Huang Erniang, do you want to read it? "

Shuwan was a little excited, "Oh! Someone even praised me!"

Jiaojiao poked Xiaobao, "I've given you those articles, send someone back to get them."

Xiao Bao untied the purse from his waist, "There's no need to send someone back to fetch it, I always carry such an important thing with me!"

Xiaobao handed the purse to Shuwan, who happily took it, hugged her grandson and kissed her.

"Come on, watch it with grandma, and see how everyone praises grandma!"

Shuwan untied the drawstring of her purse, and took out a few balls... something like toilet paper.

"What is this?" Shuwan asked Xiaobao.

Xiaobao rubbed his nose, "Ah, the articles written by the children!"

"Do you think this thing looks like an article?"

At this time, the little grandson suddenly said, "Like Papa Jiezi."

Baba Jiezi, that is, diapers, diapers, things that hold children's feces.

Shuwan unfolded it in disgust, "This thing is not as good as a papa ring! Hey! What is this sticky, yellow thing!"

I'm just a metaphor, you can't really make a papa ring!

Xiaobao: "Uh... the maltose I ate was casually thrown into my purse the other day, maybe it melted and stuck to it!"

Shuwan: "...you don't value me at all, just wait, I'll beat you up after reading this!"

The paper unfolded, and lines of immature handwriting came into view.

After all, he is a child who has just started, and his literary talents are limited. The words of praise are plain and plain, but Shuwan reads them with great interest.

Some people praised her for being virtuous and virtuous, some thanked her for opening an academy, so that she could study and learn, and some people praised Shuwan for being young and beautiful, and basically used all the words from Luoshen Fu.

Xiaobao leaned behind Shuwan to help her appreciate it, "I admire this thank you boy the most. He has a bit of conscience and knows who he should thank. This article that praises you and Huang Ama is also fine. The most ridiculous thing is this Luoshen Fu, I think he can recite a Luoshen Fu at a young age! I copied it all, it's too fake!"

Shuwan stared at him, "What do you mean? Do you think I'm ugly?"

This is a fatal problem, Xiaobao looked at Jiaojiao for help.

Jiaojiao spread her hands and shook her head, expressing her helplessness.

deserve it!Who told you not to speak!

Xiaobao smiled embarrassingly, he clenched his fists, and beat Shuwan's shoulder like a dog's leg.

"Emperor Niang, I was wrong. I drank too much and talked nonsense. Don't take it to heart."

Shuwan gave him a white look, and tore off the jade pendant tied around his waist.

"Confiscated, this is my spiritual compensation." Shuwan scolded Xiaobao for being a moth, "These articles are nothing, they are all praises and lies, you young people like to make these useless things!"

"Yes, yes, what Er Niang said is right, I blame my vanity." Xiaobao went to get the few pieces of paper, "I'm going to burn these!"

"Who told you to burn it!" Shuwan thought, why are you so unfriendly!

"Go to the yard and read these articles to Bai Haitang on the porch."

Xiaobao looked at the courtyard where people were coming and going, he was cruel, and took a few pieces of straw paper.

"Okay! It's all my fault, I'll read it now!"

Xiaobao stood on the porch reading to Begonia, while Shuwan and Jiaojiao snickered while watching from the crack of the door.

"It's rare! It's rare! Ever since Xiaobao grew up, it's rare to find an opportunity to tease him."

Jiaojiao looked at Xiaobao's aggrieved little face and found it interesting, "I don't even keep the articles praising the Queen Mother well, so it's okay to embarrass him. Let's see if he will be lazy in the future!"

Jiaojiao asked Shuwan: "Emperor Niang, which article do you like the most?"

Shuwan smiled and said, "Of course it's the article that praised me as Luoshen! What's the point of being virtuous and kind, of course beauty is the most important thing!"
