Zhao Yan's family had a lively dinner, speaking of which, with the birth of Siyue and their family, the number of Zhao Yan's family has also skyrocketed, and they can eat separately, but Zhao Yan likes the lively appearance of the family, and as a result, several children get together, and every time they eat, it is like a war. Cao Ying's tutor is very strict, and he can't leave food every time he eats, but sometimes a few children can't finish eating, so they secretly pour it into Zhao Yan's bowl, Zhao Yan feels sorry for the child, so he finishes eating by himself, and he feels that his weight has increased by a few pounds during this time, and he has to increase the amount of exercise in the morning, otherwise it is a joke that he, a weight loss expert, becomes a big fat man.

After dinner, Zhao Yan will take the family to gather in Cao Ying's room, the women are talking outside, Zhao Yan is taking a few children to tell stories or play games, at this time Zhao Yan is simply incarnated as the principal of the kindergarten, whether it is the oldest Siyue or the youngest Sixia, can have a very good time with Zhao Yan, a few little guys have any secrets, and they are willing to tell their fathers, Cao Ying They are a little jealous, and they feel that the child is not close to himself as a mother.

When it was late, the children were finally tired, and they fell asleep one after another, Zhao Yan only went out at this time to let Xue Ning'er and them take the children back to rest, and today it was Zhao Yan's turn to rest here with Cao Ying, so he personally carried Zhao Jia to the next room, and the nurse took care of him.

Just when Zhao Yan and Cao Ying were about to rest in their clothes, they didn't expect a sharp knock on the door outside, and when they opened the door, they found that it was Mi Xue standing outside panting and said: "Just now, Steward Lu suddenly came to the inner house in a hurry to find me, saying that there was an important guest visiting, and the king of the county must personally greet me." ”

Since Cao Ying got married, there have been many rules in the county king's mansion, such as the male servant cannot enter the inner house, especially after night. Even an old housekeeper like Lao Fu can't do it, Mi Xue is the female housekeeper of the inner house, so Lao Fu can only report to Mi Xue if he has anything.

"An important guest?" Zhao Yan and Cao Ying couldn't help but glance at each other suspiciously when they heard this, it was so late, who would come to visit at this time, and let Old Ford Yi run to the inner house to report. It's definitely not easy to think about the identity of the other party.

"Lady, you rest first, I'll go see who's coming!" Zhao Yan said to Cao Ying at the moment.

"Well, husband come back early!" Cao Ying also told her at the moment that she never took the initiative to ask about Zhao Yan's affairs outside, unless Zhao Yan took the initiative to sue her.

At that moment, Zhao Yan came out of the inner house, and immediately saw the housekeeper Lao Fu standing outside the door of the inner house, and then he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Lao Fu." What kind of guest is coming here so late and asking me to pick up the wind myself? ”

"This ......" Lao Fu first looked around cautiously when he heard Zhao Yan's question, and found that although there was no one else around, it was dark, God knows if someone was eavesdropping, so he finally smiled bitterly and said, "King Jun, you better go and see it yourself, the old slave doesn't dare to talk much." ”

Seeing that Lao Fu was so cautious. Zhao Yan was also more curious, knowing that Lao Fu was the housekeeper of his house. With his reputation in the Great Song Dynasty, Lao Fu is also a number of figures in the capital, and the people who can make him so jealous may be able to count them on one hand.

At that moment, Zhao Yan followed Lao Fu to the front yard, but to his surprise, Lao Fu did not lead Zhao Yan to the front hall. Instead, he was brought to the study in the front yard, Zhao Yan has a study in the front and back yards, among which the study in the front yard is relatively not very important, but this is also Zhao Yan's private place, and there are many secrets in the room. Therefore, without Zhao Yan's permission, other people are absolutely not allowed to enter.

"Lao Fu, did you invite the guests to the study?" Zhao Yan frowned at this time and said, it is said that Lao Fu should be very clear about the rules of the house, even if the guest comes, he should be invited to the front hall, instead of inviting the other party to the study?

"King Jun, this guest is a little special, and it was the guest himself who asked to come to the study, and the old slave didn't dare to disobey, so he let the guest wait in the study." Lao Fu said with an embarrassed face at this time, he never expected that the guest who came turned out to be that person, otherwise he would not agree to invite the other party to the study.

Zhao Yan felt even more strange when he heard this, and he didn't seem to be able to ask anything when he saw Lao Fu's appearance, so he simply walked to the door of the study and pushed the door in, but when he saw the people inside, he was also surprised and exclaimed: "Father! You...... How did you get here? ”

Zhao Yan didn't expect that the guest who came to visit late at night turned out to be Zhao Shu, no wonder Lao Fu didn't even dare to say the identity of the guest just now, probably because he was afraid that others would hear it and cause trouble. It's just that Zhao Yan was even more puzzled when he saw Zhao Shu, because Zhao Shu was still full of illness, half-lying on a bamboo chair covered with blankets, obviously carried over, and Huang Wude was standing aside to serve, except for him, there was no one else in the study.

"Hehe, my father's late night visit, I'm afraid it will disturb Yan'er's rest, right?" I saw a smile on Zhao Shu's pale face, although his complexion was still very poor, but he looked stronger than this morning, at least he no longer coughed violently at every turn.

"Father, you are unwell, just when you need bed rest, why did you come to Erchen so late?" Zhao Yan closed the door of the study at the moment, and then asked with a concerned face.

"Hehe, although my father is sick, he is not so sick that he can only lie in bed and do not move, I just happen to be in a good mood today, so I will come to you to have a look." Zhao Shu replied with a smile at the moment, but his words couldn't be believed at all, at least Zhao Yan didn't believe that if Zhao Shu was fine, he would drag his sick body to him in the middle of the night.

However, since Zhao Shu refused to say it directly, Zhao Yan stopped asking, and sat down to chat with Zhao Shu for a few words, especially asking about his condition, to which Zhao Shu also replied with a smile, until half an hour later, Zhao Shu changed his words and said: "Yan'er, you also saw the appearance of your eldest brother today, do you think that after he ascends the throne, will he change the law?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Yan was actually guessing Zhao Shu's intention just now, and at the same time felt that it was most likely about Zhao Shu, and now it seems that it is indeed right, but this makes him not know how to answer.

"Father, the eldest brother may be a little interested in changing the law now, but that's just his wishful thinking now, when he sits on his father's seat and feels the burden on his body, maybe he will change his mind." I saw Zhao Yan pondering for a long time, and finally spoke, he couldn't say anything else, so he could only vaguely point out Zhao Yan's thoughts.

"Alas, if it's really like what you said, it's fine, the key is that I'm worried that with your eldest brother's stubbornness, I'm afraid that with your eldest brother's stubbornness, I'm afraid that it will go all the way to the dark, and then I really start to change the law, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop again." Zhao Shu sighed at this time, he was not as optimistic as Zhao Yan, and with his understanding of Zhao Xu, it was almost certain that Zhao Wei would launch a change.

Zhao Yan actually agreed with Zhao Shu's words, but his identity was special, and it was during this critical period when Zhao Shu was seriously ill, so he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only smile helplessly and simply didn't say anything.

Zhao Shu saw Zhao Yan's appearance, and also knew what he was afraid of in his heart, so he didn't embarrass him, and said again at the moment: "You also know your eldest brother's character, I can almost conclude that when he ascends the throne, he will definitely reuse Wang Anshi to change the law, and when there is no father like me, I am afraid that there will be no one who can suppress him, what does Yan'er plan to do then?" ”

"Father, you also know that the sons and daughters have never paid much attention to government affairs, although I am not very optimistic about the change, but the change has too much impact on me, the big deal is that I will study behind closed doors when the time comes, and I will come out when the turmoil of the change has passed." Zhao Yan said to him with a smile at this time.

"Don't diverge, what I'm asking is that you just watched your eldest brother mess around, and even ruined the current good situation of the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Shu heard Zhao Yanyan's incorrect answer, but he snorted coldly.

When Zhao Yan saw Zhao Shuyan's appearance, he sighed helplessly at the moment, and had to answer honestly: "Father, if the eldest brother insists on changing the law, the sons and daughters can't stop it even if they want to, so they can only try their best to help him check and fill in the gaps, and try to give full play to the positive side of the change, so as not to have a bad impact on the change." ”

Hearing Zhao Yan say this, Zhao Shu was also very moved to look at him, but then sighed and said: "Yan'er, although your idea is good, but with your eldest brother's impatient character, coupled with Wang Anshi's stubborn bull, and although Wang Anshi is a good person, he likes to act arbitrarily, and he will definitely not allow others to interfere in the change. ”

Zhao Yan was also greatly admired when he heard Zhao Shu's analysis, especially the analysis of Wang Anshi, which hit the nail on the head, Wang Anshi was not only stubborn, but also couldn't listen to other people's opinions when doing things, which was also one of the reasons why those who originally supported the change of the law, but later opposed the change, and even in the end, even some of the change factions were suppressed by Wang Anshi because of their different opinions, which also led to the internal contradictions of the change faction, and finally led to the failure of the change.

"Father, the minister can only do his best to do this matter, if it is really impossible to do anything, it is a big deal that I will go to the south to help the eldest sister, and as for the capital, it will be left to the people who change the law to toss." Zhao Yan was also a little disheartened at this time, he had already persuaded Zhao Yan many times openly and secretly, but the other party couldn't listen to him at all, which could be regarded as his duty as a brother.

However, as soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, he saw Zhao Shu say with a stern face: "Yan'er, you must not stand idly by and watch the change, now I have an important task entrusted to you, and it can be regarded as the last thing that my father entrusted to you before he died!" (To be continued......)
