- Qingshi Street.
After seeing Zhao Hao off, Hai Rui walked along the river at the intersection of the street for a long time.
Needless to say, Zhao Hao's proposal made him very tempted. But the family, which had suffered so much, had just lived a stable life for less than a year. The mother was old, the wife escaped death, and the little girl was only five years old. There was a new life in Han's belly.
This hard-won stable life is as wonderful as a dream.
Hai Rui often woke up in the middle of the night, mistakenly thinking that he was still in the dark prison; occasionally he would see Zhong Di and Zhong Liang looking at him from a distance.
This made him care more about everything in front of him, lest he accidentally burst the bubble of happiness again
Therefore, he could not agree to Zhao Hao and could only digest the shame, apology and unwillingness in his heart alone at night.
??~~
Unconsciously, Hai Rui walked onto a stone bridge.
He stood on the bridge and watched the dark river water flowing quietly in the river. The water level was only one-third of what it was in summer. He suddenly thought that his life would only have one-third left at most, right?
Thinking of this, Hai Rui laughed to himself, he was really shameless.
He was born on December 27, the eighth year of Zhengde, and will be fifty-five soon.
In this era, people¡¯s life span is clearly defined. The average life expectancy of the working people, who make up the vast majority of the population, is only forty-five or six years old This is already the best record in all dynasties except the Qin and Han dynasties.
The average life expectancy of Jin¡¯s gentlemen and doctors who were not engaged in production and had no worries about food and clothing was more than seventy years old. They live an average of twenty-five years longer than ordinary people who suffer hardships.
This is because many rich people are dissolute and burp early, which lowers the average life expectancy. If you take good care of yourself and pay attention to health, it is common for people to live into their eighties, and it is not uncommon to live into their nineties.
Hai Rui subconsciously believed that he still had one-third of his life left. Obviously, he unconsciously distinguishes himself from ordinary people.
¡°Yes, I am already a fourth-grade official, so it would be hypocritical and pretentious to pretend that I am an ordinary citizen.
But he still felt guilty. This was the identity he had always despised and despised.
¡°My year of leisure and tranquility in Nanjing was all thanks to the support of the people! An official has retired to his official position in his seventies, but he is still far from the age of retirement. Should he continue to live like this?
"What's the difference between this and those mediocre and lazy officials who take advantage of the people and do nothing?" !
Hai Rui felt intense discomfort in his heart. He put his hands on his knees and retched in waves.
??~~
It wasn¡¯t until the middle of the night that he reluctantly packed up his mood and returned home.
Hai'an opened the door for him and saw that the courtyard was dark, with only the dim lights still on in the main room where his mother lived.
"Hasn't my mother rested yet?" Hai Rui asked in a low voice.
Haian shook his head and bolted the door silently.
Hai Rui then tiptoed to the middle of the patio and saw that the lights in his wife's room were also on.
¡°Obviously Wang didn¡¯t sleep well either.
Is this the so-called turmoil?
"I have brought too much misfortune and fear to my family. My mother and wife may have had a bad premonition."
¡°No matter whether I am a son, a husband or a father, I am too incompetent for my job.
Hai Rui couldn't help but have a look of guilt on his face, just like the dim moonlight in the sky.
After hesitating for a moment, he deliberately stepped forward and walked towards the main room.
Lifting the thick cotton curtain, gently pushed open the ajar door.
The charcoal basin had already been extinguished, and it was only midnight, and the room was already freezing cold.
The room was dark, with only a small oil lamp burning beside the bed.
Under the light, his mother was lying on the bed with her back to him, holding the little girl sleeping inside with one hand.
"Eat meat, meat is delicious" Xiaoya said something in her sleep.
"Still eating." I heard the sea mother laugh, obviously she was not asleep yet.
"Mother." Hai Rui called out in a low voice and sat on the bed beside the bed.
Haimu didn't look back, she still patted Xiaoya gently, and asked slowly in Qiongzhou dialect: "Why did you come back?"
"Mom, my son has thought about something." Hai Rui also replied in Qiongzhou dialect.
"How do you want to convince Grandma?" Hai Mu asked. Although she was already somewhat deaf, Hai Rui would not lower her voice when speaking, so it was difficult not to let her hear.
"As expected, my mother already knows." Hai Rui smiled bitterly and said, "My son can't even pass his own test."
"What you said is just a lie "Hai Mu sneered and said: "You are the flesh that fell from my mother's body, how can you hide your thoughts from me? "
"My son really feels that he can't talk to his mother." Hai Rui hurriedly complained.
"Huh!" Haimu snorted angrily: "Listen, how did you convince me to go, and you said you won't pass this test on your own!"
"Uh" Hai Rui was left speechless by his mother's question.
"Mr. Zhao would like to ask you to pick up Lin Zhongcheng's class?" Hai Mu asked again.
"Yeah." Hai Rui nodded.
"Hai Mu asked in confusion: "What is his origin? Can he have the final say in the selection of Governor Yingtian?"
"Of course it doesn't count if he says so." Hai Rui explained to his mother in a deep voice: "Ministers of the country need to be recommended by the court. To put it simply, senior officials in Beijing vote for candidates and recommend them to His Majesty for appointment. Your Majesty will usually not refuse."
"So, he has connections with high-ranking officials in Beijing?" Haimu is also from a decent family background. She has been exposed to the situation for many years, and her knowledge is quite extraordinary.
"You can say that." Hai Rui whispered: "Last year in Beijing, he adopted the eldest princess as his godmother, and also opened a Laoshi company with her, and many powerful people bought shares. Because of this reason, his son did not want to Get too close to him."
"Don't be a white-eyed wolf!" Haimu finally turned around and poked her son in the head.
"My son was talking about last year." Hai Rui hurriedly explained: "In Beijing, I just listened to his words and didn't dare to believe him. But over the past year, my son has watched his actions silently, and I can finally be convinced that his words and deeds are consistent. Yes, he is acting to change the Ming Dynasty."
"Of course." Hai Mu said confidently: "Otherwise, with tens of millions of taels of silver and the eldest princess as my backer, I would be happy all day long, how could I have the time to pay attention to you?"
"Well, it seems like this" Hai Rui smiled bitterly: "I don't know why this kid insists on being so close to me. He really just has a good life."
"Aren't you the same?" Hai Mu sat up with the help of her son. She was born with strong yang energy, and she didn't feel cold at all even wearing only her middle coat.
"Haha, maybe to a certain extent, birds of a feather flock together." Hai Rui even laughed after saying this.
"How can there be any resemblance? Shameless." Haimu finally smiled, then reached out and touched her son's gray temples, and said slowly:
"Didn't you say, 'My husband's ambition is to govern the country, and I hope that all the seas will be covered with mats'? Go ahead, my mother won't stop you."
"Mom?" Hai Rui's face was full of surprise. Before he could think of how to convince his mother, he didn't expect that her mother had already let him go.
