"Zhang Qian! You pick a fight with your brother and sister again!"
Liaodong.
The prefect's mansion, which was luxurious and extravagant earlier, has become even more luxurious now.
The windows that were originally sealed with gauze have now been replaced with crystal clear glass.
There are many green plants and the sound of waterside pavilions.
On the eaves, the curved glazed tiles reflect the brilliance of the sun.
"Haha, I am number one! Mom, I won, my sister and brother lost, and I won again!"
Zhang Qian, who was over three years old, stood under the eaves with his hands on his hips.
In front of him was his cousin who was several years older than him, the children of Zhang Guang and Qinghua.
At this moment, they were lying on the ground, looking very embarrassed, but with smiles on their faces.
Qing Ling looked angry.
"You can, you can, you can! Wait until Brother Jue and his father come back and see how he deals with you!"
With that said, he picked up two children aged six or seven.
"Xiao Xing Xiao Cai will stop messing around with Qian'er from now on. Look at the two of you, you've become mud monkeys again."
"No, no, aunt, I want to play with Brother Qian."
The two little guys were twitching in Qingling's arms.
"Auntie, I want to play with Brother Qian. Next time I will be a general and let Xing'er and Brother Qian be bandits."
"Hmph! Even if I become a bandit, you can't beat me!"
Under the eaves of the corridor, Zhang Qian raised one arm and waved his fist.
Looking at these three naughty boys, Qing Ling's head almost exploded.
Ever since they moved from the Governor's Mansion in Western Liaoning to the Governor's Mansion in Liaodong, their two mothers have been living here. Qinghua married Zhang Guang as her husband's sister, and she can be considered her natal family, so she lives here. .
At first, Qing Ling thought that it was this status that made Liaodong Governor Zhang Yi and others treat her politely, but later, after knowing what her husband was doing, she understood everything.
Seeing Zhang Qian showing off his power under the eaves of the corridor, Qing Ling felt angry and happy at the same time.
What makes her angry is that this child is so energetic and naughty every day, making it difficult for her to discipline her.
Fortunately, since childhood, Zhang Qian's unusual performance has all indicated that he is extraordinary, and he is becoming more and more like his father who is busy with his career.
Xiaoxing Xiaocai in her arms was squirming so much that she was a little unsteady in her arms. She put the two children down and Qingling pointed at Zhang Qian under the eaves.
"Count to three for my mother!"
"one!"
"two!"
"."
Before he could count three, Zhang Qian ran over with a flattering look on his face and took Qing Ling's hand.
"Mother~"
Qing Ling held her forehead as she had a headache.
This child can't be controlled when he's not angry. When he's angry, he immediately acts coquettishly. There's absolutely nothing he can do about it.
"Aunt~"
It was over, and the other two little guys joined.
Under the coquettish offensive of the three cute porcelain dolls, Qingling was quickly defeated.
Fortunately, a voice for help came in.
"Qian'er, Xing'er, Cai'er, my brother came to play with you!"
A handsome young man who was less than ten years old and dressed like a young master ran in.
Seeing him, Qingling breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jue'er, come quickly, my aunt can't control them!"
Zhang Jue, the elder brother of Zhang Xing and Zhang Cai, the eldest son of Zhang Guang and Qinghua. This name was given by Zhang Qi himself. Before he got married and was still the captain of Liaoxi, he loved Zhang Jue and his family.
"Hahaha, brother is back! Brother is back!"
"Brother, brother, is school fun? Is kindergarten fun? Can you take us to play?"
When they saw Zhang Jue, Zhang Qian and the other two people gathered around him without Qingling saying a word.
"It's fun, it's so fun. The teachers have new tricks every day. Let me tell you today, the teacher is taking us to poke the frog's legs. The frog's legs will jump after being poked. It's so fun!"
"."
Zhang Jue talked about the fun knowledge in the school and immediately attracted the three urchins.
Now in the prefect's mansion, only Zhang Qian has not yet entered school.
Both Zhang Xing and Zhang Cai were studying in a kindergarten, not far from the Prefect's Mansion. However, in this era, even in Liaoning, there were not many children who could go to kindergarten.
Zhang Jue, on the other hand, entered elementary school at the age of eight and is now a third-grade student.
"Sister-in-law."
Along with Zhang Jue, Zhang Qi's sister Qinghua came in. She saluted and greeted Qingling, looked at the sweat on Qingling's face, and laughed unkindly.
"Xingcai and the others are messing around again, leaving my sister-in-law to worry about."
Xingcai is a twin, a boy and a girl. The boy is Xing and the girl is Cai. Since Qingling came to the prefect's mansion, Qinghua's three children were almost the ones she watched grow up, and their relationship is also very good.
"Oh, Qian'er is getting more and more naughty, and Xingcai has been spoiled by him. He was so cute before."
Qing Ling wiped the sweat on her forehead with an embroidered handkerchief and said to Qing Hua with a headache on her face.
"Gee, it's better to be naughty. The more naughty you are, the stronger you will be. Only in this way can you grow up healthily."
"Look how strong Qian'er is. The three-year-old baby is only one head shorter than Xing'er, and he is also stocky. He is exactly the same as his brother."
Qinghua giggled, but the more she looked at Zhang Qian, the more she liked him, because his appearance was exactly the same as Zhang Qiwan's.
"By the way, sister-in-law, I heard from Aguang that brother intends to seize the capital. I think he will be back soon. Then you will ask brother to discipline Qian'er and make sure he is in charge."
"real?!"
Qing Ling's face was filled with surprise.
Although Zhang Qi has come back every year in the past few years, it has always been a hasty reunion and then a hasty farewell.
Now that her husband might be with them all the time, how could she not be happy?
"Can I still lie to my sister-in-law?"
"Aguang received the transfer order yesterday and went to Youbeiping. I heard from him that my brother intends to establish a capital in the southeast of Pinggang. The construction of the new city has already begun."
"Outside Pinggang City?"
Qingling was puzzled.
I don’t understand why my husband decided to settle in such a bitter and cold Liao land. Wouldn’t it be better to go south?
In fact, Zhang Qi also intended to go south at first, but after looking at the global map in his office, he finally chose Youbeiping.
There is the sea here and the location is right. If his ambition is to only have one China, then the capital here is indeed a bit too far north, but it just so happens that his ambition is not just one Chinese territory.
He has almost solved the problem of transportation. Ships and trains are both sharp tools that can enhance centralization. Not to mention that after the advent of diesel and gasoline, the scientific research center will put it on the internal combustion engine, and it is possible to build an airplane.
So it can be done anywhere, but Zhang Qiying chose the location of the capital here out of habit and a little bit of pride that only he could understand.
"The scenery of the North is covered in ice and snow for thousands of miles."
