That night, the third master not only brought back his princess, but also his mother and two daughters.

When he left after dinner, he saw that his mother and mother-in-law were in front of the hospital and made an appointment to go fishing together tomorrow, and the third master had the idea that he had done too much for no reason.

"If I go fishing tomorrow, do I have to get up early?" The third master asked softly.

Qin explained, "Second Uncle Qin said that it is good to fish in the morning and evening on a hot day, and now you can only catch big fish when you get up in the morning during this solar term. ”

The third master smiled and asked, "Second Master Qin is also going with you?" ”

"Yes, if the second grandfather doesn't go, no one knows where to cast the net." Xiaocao explained, "The fish that the second grandfather catches every time is the largest, and it is so long!" ”

"It's so long!" Chiba followed her aunt's movements and stretched out her little arms.

"It's so long!" The same is true of the spirit.

"Wang!" Rhubarb spun around.

"Father! Chiba wants to see it. ”

"Lingyou wants to go too, Father!"

"Wang!" Rhubarb's voice had a certain momentum that could not be refused, indicating that it had agreed to this matter.

Hua Shu smiled, "Tomorrow I will also learn to cast a net, I don't know if I can't help but catch fish." ”

"The concubine casts the net, those fish will definitely compete to get in, and the fish that don't come just don't know what to do." The stars in the grass' eyes are brighter than the fireflies flying nearby.

Qin nodded in response, "Sister, don't worry, if you can't catch it, I won't be able to catch it, and then we'll let Second Uncle Qin help us cast the net, and the two of us will drag it up together." ”

Hua Shu happily responded, "That's very good." ”

The concubine's smile was so beautiful, Xiaocao held her face and said a few times, "Xiaocao also helps pull." ”

"And Chiba."

"And Lingyu!"

"Wang!"

He didn't need to answer, and the family discussed the matter. The third master smiled, "In that case, the concubine will stay in the first village tonight." ”

Qin Shi was extremely happy, "Yes, I don't have to run again." ”

"That's very good." Because she has never fished, Hua Shu is now interested, and she doesn't want to go back to hinder her son and daughter-in-law from reuniting, "Chiba and Lingyou, do you want to go back with your mother and concubine, or do you want to stay here for your grandmother?" ”

"Whew-" rhubarb cried.

Chiba and Lingyou immediately said, "With grandma, with rhubarb." ”

In the end, on the carriage back to the sixth village, the third master only brought back his princess, he sat in the carriage, and suddenly had an illusion that "he is not very important", so he asked Xiao Nuan, "Follow me back to the sixth village, do you feel happy?" ”

Xiao Nuan nodded sincerely, "Happy." You're here, of course I'm going to be with you. ”

The little loss in the third master's heart was immediately smoothed out. At night, when the clouds and rain stopped, it was the most unalert moment when Xiao Nuan was drowsy, and the third master began to interrogate his wife, "Xiao Nuan, you have been worried a lot lately. Tell me what bothers you, shall I? ”

Xiao Nuan lazily snorted, "No." ”

How could there be. The third master stopped her in his arms and patted her gently, "If you think about it in the past few months, the number of times you have been to Yazhengtang is only a handful, and the matter of the child a few days ago has pushed your dissatisfaction higher, making you even more unwilling to face me, so you will be angry and leave the book." ”

The little body in his arms really stiffened, and the third master knew that he had guessed correctly, "Because you were angry at the time, you said some angry words in the house, so that Rhubarb thought that you didn't want to keep the book and took the letter away." ”

Xiao Nuan muttered in his arms, "The skill of wood punishment must have been learned from you." ”

The third master said softly, "The only thing that can make me guess so carefully is your mind, Xiao Nuan." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Nuan's voice was obviously sleepy.

The third master's voice was gentle and calm, as if he wanted to coax her to sleep, "It's not your temper to leave when something happens." If you don't say it this time, you should think that it is useless for you to say it, so you simply left, I chased it to Nanshan Pass, and you wanted to hide in Shangqing Palace. What is it? ”

Xiao Nuan opened her eyes and closed them again.

The third master continued, "The affairs of the house and business are all up to you, and you can only do things like this." Xiao Nuan, are you afraid and dissatisfied because my recent methods of rectifying the officials are too brutal? ”

Xiao Nuan's eyes opened again, and this time the third master did not allow her to close it, and raised his hand to support her little head.

The two were frank with each other at this time, and his eyes were so sincere, Xiao Nuan said in his heart, "There is no fear, and there is no dissatisfaction, I feel sorry for you to bear the infamy." This kind of rectification does not cure the symptoms, but you won't listen to what I say. You can't live in peace up and down, and my business is not good. ”

Sure enough, because of this matter, the third master replied softly, "The court officials rule the world, and the merits and demerits have their own history book reviews, and the infamy for a while is nothing." The rebellion of the officials is a stubborn disease of all dynasties, and it cannot be ignored even if it treats the symptoms but not the root cause. ”

After saying this, the third master wanted to say that you don't have to worry about the affairs of the government, I will do these things myself. But his little princess has already paid attention to this matter and wants to share her worries for him, "My Xiaonuan is the smartest, what do you do about it, will you listen to it with your husband, okay?" ”

"My Xiao Nuan" is a love word, he rarely uses it, Xiao Nuan was moved when he heard it, but she was really tired and sleepy, yawned, and didn't pay attention to what should not be said or to what extent, and directly said the fundamental problem of the rebellion of the officials, "The officials also do things for the court, but you superiors look down on them and treat them as eagle dogs." The imperial court did not give them a salary, and let the state and county yamen raise it by themselves, isn't it up to them to dig up silver in different ways? ”

"These people, such as the servants, the arresters, and the cell bosses, are as despised as prostitutes, actors, and slaves in the eyes of the people, and their children cannot even participate in the imperial examinations!" Xiao Nuan yawned again, "They are front-line civil servants of the imperial court, but they are treated like this by the imperial court and the people, can they feel better?" Yan Sheng, think about it, under such a system, what kind of person will be a handyman? If they are not greedy, do not deceive their superiors and subordinates to gain benefits for themselves, can they be willing? ”

The third master listened quietly, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"Improve the status of the officials, give them a salary, and the children are allowed to participate in the imperial examination." Xiao Nuan replied.

"The treasury is already empty enough to support such huge spending." The third master felt that this matter was not feasible.

"Put the cart before the horse."

Third Master ......

"If all the officials are dedicated to serving the court, there will be less corruption, the people will have enough treasury, and the treasury will naturally have silver." Xiao Nuan couldn't open her eyes when she spoke, "If I pay more wages to the guys in the shop, will the shop lose money?" Nope......"

As she spoke, she snorted in her arms like a cat, and the third master was almost inaudible, "Xiao Nuan, if these words are brought to the court, they will definitely make the civil and military officials criticize them." ”

"That's why Xiao Nuan didn't say it, you wanted to ask me." Xiao Nuan was half-asleep and half-awake, and replied.

"Sleep." The third master dropped a kiss on her forehead, staring at the palindromic embroidery on the bed curtain.

Early in the morning of the second day, the third master dug up Xiao Nuan early and took her to watch the fishing. When he arrived at the river, the third master found that Li Xiran, who was dressed in short brown, was standing with Qin Erye, learning to cast a net, and his movements were extremely rusty.

Respectful to the country, he doesn't care about the court, but he comes here to be a third-rate fisherman! The third master felt that he should not let the pillars of the country fall so much, so after he was driven off the fishing boat by the second master of Qin, he pulled him to discuss the matter of rectifying the officials.
