When Xing Dongsen was secretly looking at the blue figure in the lake, he heard a soft and clear voice of a woman in his ears: "Where is Xiucai Xing from?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Dongsen quickly came back to his senses and answered intently, "If you go back to the princess, the student is from Huaihua Village, Dingyuan County, Lingzhou, Shanyang Prefecture."

"Oh, it turns out that you are from Shanyang Prefecture, and it's quite far from the capital..." After Xing Dongsen straightened up, Ji Zishan saw his appearance clearly. This person could not be called a handsome man, but his facial features were quite upright and his behavior was calm. Perhaps because he had been companionship with books for many years, he had a strong sense of scholarly spirit. "Which scholar was you in that year? Have you ever participated in the provincial examination before?"

Xing Dongsen replied with his eyebrows down: "The student is a scholar in fifteen years. This time he is the first time he comes back to Beijing for the exam."

Ji Zishan's eyes flashed and said strangely: "Since I passed the scholar in fifteen years, why did I come back to take the provincial examination only in twenty-two years? In seven years, I missed two provincial examinations. What's the reason here?"

"In the past seven years, my father and mother have passed away one after another. Students have to mourn. According to regulations, it is impossible to refer to when mourning." Xing Dongsen replied with a slightly depressed look on his eyes.

Ji Zishan kneaded her daughter's tender hands and replied, "So that's it..." After a pause, she continued, "Studying and becoming an official, glorifying the ancestors is a good thing. The autumn examination is approaching, and next year it will be a spring examination. If you can go to high school, you can become a good official in the future and benefit the people."

"Student, thank you for your teachings from the princess." Xing Dongsen bowed again.

Ji Zishan glanced at her clear-eyed daughter and smiled, "It's just that the court recently investigated another group of corrupt officials. These officials are from poor backgrounds. They have been studying hard for ten years. They finally became an official and rose to prominence. However, they were fascinated by wealth and power. They forgot the books of sages they had read, and did corrupt and abused the law, and also caused the family to suffer. I just sighed and I will give you a piece of advice in advance."

After hearing this, Xing Dongsen bowed deeply again: "Students understand."

"This is a little girl. Today I'm here to play with her brother. Since the teacher is teaching Rentai, I'll let the girl listen for a while." Ji Zishan looked at the little girl Manman again with a smile, "Manman, Mom wants to talk to your aunt, you will study with your husband here for a while. When the teacher says that get out of class is over, you can play with your brother. You have to be good, Madam Gui will watch here. As long as you are obedient, Mom will ask your father to take you to row and play. Do you understand?"

The little girl Manman nodded seriously: "I understand, I'm obedient, Dad takes me on a boat."

"So good, that mother is gone." Ji Zishan touched her daughter's head again, then pulled Gao Miaomiao and left.

After Gao Miaomiao was pulled out of the house, she turned around frequently with a worried look on her face: "Fan you just threw Manman there like this? Isn't this a bad thing..." What if the little girl accidentally bumped into each other, what should I do?

"Guixiang is leading the people to watch. It's okay, let's go." Ji Zishan smiled and dragged Gao Miaomiao back to the backyard.

When they returned to the house, the sisters fell down again. Ji Zishan held the tea bowl and whispered softly: "I just used an excuse to see Xing Dongsen, mainly to see how this person is. If he looks good, and you want to hire him to teach Rentai to study, I will not have much trouble to ask Rentai for you."

"Fan, except for my father and my brother, you are the one who cares about me the most." Gao Miaomiao's eyes heated up slightly and she said softly.

Ji Zishan said quietly: "Don't say that, we are relatives, and we grew up together. We are just a little busy within our ability. It's nothing. I think this scholar named Xing is OK. If he is willing to teach Rentai after the autumn examination, you might as well use it first. If he is not happy to do it, I will find a good one for you. The opening period of a child is very important. If the teacher is not good and cannot arouse the interest of children in studying, it will have a great impact on the child's future."

Gao Miaomiao nodded and agreed, "I think so too... It is because In Tae said he thought he was good that I wanted to hire him for a long time."

"Hey, let's do this for Rentai's study." After talking about Gao Rentai's academic problems, Ji Zishan couldn't help but worry about Gao Miaomiao's personal problems again. "After you, after you divorce, you will live in this deserted place and stay away from the world. No matter what the troubles outside, I'll ask you, you have heard of Dong Zhiyuan marrying another wife?"

Gao Miaomiao slowly lowered her eyes and whispered: "...I heard it."

"When you are separated, he looks so reluctant to leave you. I think he will try his best to save you and reunite with you." Although Gao Miaomiao and Die were separated, Ji Zishan could see that her heart... had not been completely retracted from Dong Zhiyuan, "But the reality is that he has been married and remarried less than a year after he has been separated. Haha, his true feelings for you are just like this."

Gao Miaomiao lowered her head, and after a long time, she whispered: "I have nothing to do with him anymore."

"If you really think so, why do you want to live outside the city? You are deserted all day long and treat yourself as a nun who becomes a monk in a monastery?" Ji Zishan put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Listen to me, whether it is for yourself or Rentai, you'd better move back to the city. If you don't want to go back to Gao Mansion, you can live outside by yourself. This is more convenient whether it is daily purchase or visiting relatives and friends."

Seeing Gao Miaomiao unmoved, Ji Zishan couldn't help but say with sincerity: "Rentai is young now. You can raise him in this farm. It's nothing, but he always wants to grow up, make friends, and have his own interpersonal circle. If you are in the city, whenever there is any party in Brother Wang's mansion, I can invite you to come, and use this to let Rentai know more of his peers."

Upon hearing this, Gao Miaomiao moved slightly and said, "Fan..."

"If you really don't want to marry again, I won't force you, but you always have to plan for the future. Since you raise Rentai as your son, then train him well. If he makes a name for himself, will he turn around and earn you a title for the imperial decree, wouldn't it be good?" Ji Zishan said slowly.

When chatting with people with good relationships, time always passes quickly. In the afternoon, the little girl Manman was squatting on the ground playing with mud. Mu Huaiqian was already coming with a team of guards.

"Dad!" As soon as she saw her own father coming, the little girl Manman left Gao Rentai's friend and ran towards her father with two dirty little paws.

Mu Huaiqian grabbed his daughter's little wrist and stopped her from smearing mud on him. The corner of his mouth twitched: "...Little Guai, you are playing with mud again."

"Well, I'm here, learning to build a chicken coop. My mother said, "I learned to build a chicken coop, so let me raise a chicken to play with!" The little girl, Manman, said with a naive look on her face with a pink and tender mouth.

Mu Huaiqian almost died of sweat: "Oh, okay, then you can study hard... After learning well, Dad will buy you a little chicken."

The general's husband has come to pick up the mother and son. Ji Zishan is not good enough to stay for more, so she is preparing to leave. Outside, the little girl has washed her paws and is holding her father's neck and sweetly asking: "Dad, I want to ride a horse with you..."

"Okay." Facing his cute little, Mu Huaiqian didn't agree as long as it was not an outrageous request.

Gao Miaomiao personally sent Ji Zishan to leave. After the carriage and horses left, she took Gao Rentai back. After entering the house, Gao Rentai suddenly raised his head and whispered with a jealous look on his face: "Mom, Rentai also wants to have a father..."

Upon hearing this, Gao Miaomiao stopped and looked at the little boy quietly.

Gao Rentai still vaguely remembers his own father and mother, and also knows that the woman in front of him can only be considered an adoptive mother, but her adoptive mother treats him very well and gentlely, much closer than his old uncles and uncles. Therefore, he mustered up the courage to express what he thought and wants: "My sister has a father and she is hugged by her father, and Intai also wants to have... Mother, can you let the husband be my father..."

When Xing Dongsen was rescued back to the village, Gao Rentai once ran to the front yard naughtyly and saw him: "Mr. I look sick, and I look like my father..." But his father couldn't afford to get sick, and never got up again and hugged him and kissed him. But Mr. really looked like his father, with a dark face and thick hands, and even the voice of his speech seemed to be the same, "I want him to be a father, okay, mother?"

Cui'er, who was following Gao Miaomiao, silently covered her mouth: Her godly ancestor, is the young master a member of the game?

Ji Zishan didn't know the wonderful ideas of Gao Rentai. After she and her husband and daughter went to her farm, she let herself go and play, such as riding horses, rowing, catching fish, throwing pots, kicking shuttlecocks, picking fruits, and picking flowers. As long as you can think of entertainment, Ji Zishan didn't miss a single piece. On the third day of her leisure vacation, a eunuch who was in charge of working in the Cining Palace suddenly ran over and said that Mu Huaiqian had to be busy with official duties during the Mid-Autumn Festival and could not celebrate the festival with Ji Zishan and his daughter, so this year he asked her to go back to the palace to celebrate the reunion festival.

General Mu Huaiqian, who was gently wiping his daughter's hair, was stunned: Why don't he know what official duties he is going to do in Mid-Autumn Festival?

"I don't know the inside story, but I just followed the Queen Mother's decree and came to pass on a message to the princess." Facing the confused faces of the princess and the prince-consort, the eunuch who really knew nothing could only say this.
