Chapter 213 Li Tan arrested Zhou

After Li Wei was dealing with the matter of Kaima City, he rushed to Kaijing, Gaoli. He had already handed over the matter of Kaima City to the Liaodong Dusi to handle it. He only had to explain the principled general direction, and the remaining details would be considered by his subordinates.

The reason why Li Weizheng rushed back to Kaijing was to worry about Ye Sutong's health. She was pregnant once the year before and unfortunately had an abortion. After Li Weizheng returned from Japan last year, she became pregnant again. She has been seven months now and is in a bad state. Li Weizheng is very worried about her situation.

Li Wei was in a hurry to return to Kaijing, and there was another big thing. In October of the previous year, the Ye family sisters became pregnant at the same time. Ye Sutong unfortunately had a miscarriage. Ye Zitong gave birth to a son for Li Weizheng in July last year, which finally made the Li family succeed. Li Weizheng's father, Mr. Li, specially wrote a letter to his grandson named Li Tan. In ten days, he will be the day he will be one year old.

Currently, Li Weizheng's family lives in the Goryeo Palace. The environment here is elegant, with strict vigilance and good living conditions. More importantly, a female doctor with skilled medical skills is dedicated to taking care of Ye Sutong.

Ye Sutong's pregnancy has become a major event for the Li family, not because she is Li Weizheng's wife. In fact, everyone in the family knows that Ye Zitong's son Li Tan is Li Weizheng's eldest son. Even if Ye Sutong has another son, he is also the second son. This is an internal agreement reached by the Li family and the Ye family. The Ye family's sisters do not distinguish between the common people. Everyone cares about Ye Sutong because she is weak after a miscarriage, and everyone is afraid that she will have miscarriage in July and August.

At noon that day, Ye Sutong was sitting in the garden to trim a pot of flowers and trees. This was her hobby. She liked to let flowers and trees grow in the direction she designed, but her sister Ye Zitong was just the opposite. She liked to let flowers and trees grow freely. In her yard, she did not allow gardeners to prune them. As a result, the flowers and trees in her yard were free, but weeds were overgrown, and even the path was obscured. The same was true after moving to the Goryeo Palace. Ye Zitong did not allow people to trim every grass and tree in her garden.

Ye Sutong was idle, so she replaced the job of gardener and was busy trimming flowers and trees every day. Except for her sister's garden, everything else was trimmed by her, and she almost couldn't find anything to do.

"Auntie, read it to me!"

The sister of the twin sister Li Zhiqiu took a newspaper and ran over. The two sisters are four years old, very beautiful, and tall. They look very similar. Except for Qianqian and their mother, no one can tell who is the sister and who is the sister. However, everyone has suddenly distinguished it in the past few months. The reason is that my sister Zhiqiu suddenly fell in love with the newspaper and pestered people to read the newspaper for her all day, but her sister Ye Zi doesn't like newspapers very much. She likes to shoot arrows and sways in the palace with a pair of small bows and arrows all day. She secretly shoots an arrow at the soldiers on duty outside the window without any trouble.

"Okay, my aunt will read it to you." Su Tong put down the flower-climbing cuts in his hand, took the newspaper and said with a smile.

Zhiqiu naturally snuggled up to my aunt. The Goryeo zany newspaper was originally published every ten days. Later, due to the increase in personnel and the increase in the number of submissions and the love of the people, it was changed to a three-day magazine. Starting from July, it was finally changed to a one-day magazine. The newspaper not only had current affairs analysis, but also had more content that was close to the lives of ordinary people, interesting news in the alleys, rural strange events, ancient and modern stories, etc. In addition, Goryeo also became popular in the past two years, and the zany dramas of the Ming Dynasty were also in tea like the Ming Dynasty.

The museum was staged, and there were more than 20 teahouses in Kaijing alone. Since there were only four or five troupes to perform zaju, they could only be staged in each teahouse. The zaju preview of the next day was published in the newspaper. Many citizens of Kaijing bought zaju newspapers to watch this. Of course, Li Wei was strongly supported. He spent a lot of money to hire a zaju troupe to Goryeo and opened a zaju school because zaju could quickly popularize Chinese among the folks of Goryeo, making the people of Goryeo gradually give up the zaju.

Two miscellaneous newspapers were sent to the palace every day, which was very popular for the palace people who had a bit of a boring life. Li Weizheng's wives and concubines could read and read. The enthusiastic Ye Zitong also taught the palace maids every night, taught them to read and read newspapers.

Since Li Zhiqiu likes to read newspapers, she is always the first newspaper to receive every day. She wants to hear everything in the newspapers and has a strong desire to learn. However, Su Tong first opened the novel serialization, which she likes.

"Okay! I'll read the novel to you first."

Su Tong cleared his throat and started reading to her clearly. Several palace maids next to him also gathered up to listen to the second wife's newspaper reading together.

After reading two pages of the newspaper, Su Tong gradually became a little tired. At this time, Ye Zitong walked up with her son in her arms and said with a smile: "Zhiqiu, Aunt Er is tired. Go and ask your Aunt Qian to read it to you. She is fine!"

Zhiqiu was holding her chin and was fascinated by the fact that when her mother said that, she immediately ran away with the newspaper with a sensible step. She ran a few steps, then came back and kissed her brother, and then ran away.

Li Tan is exactly one year old next year. He has a huge head and brain, his eyebrows are very similar to his father, and he is particularly active and can't stop for a while. He has just walked a few steps these days, which really makes Zi Tong difficult to take.

Zitong put down her son and smiled at her sister: "I want to say something to her father and let someone teach Zhiqiu and Ye Zi to study. What do you think?"

Seeing that Li Tan was reaching out to grab her flower-climbing scissors, Su Tong was so scared that she quickly took away the scissors. Then she said to Zi Tong with lingering fear: "Dalang must agree. The key is that the two sisters themselves. I guess my sister wants to learn, but my sister may not be sure."

When talking about her little daughter, Zi Tong couldn't help but sigh. The little daughter fired cold arrows everywhere. Although she didn't hurt anyone, the guards were worried all day long and confiscated her bows and arrows. She ran to rub the guards again. In two days, she would definitely get a new bow and arrow. It was useless to say hello to the guards. She had to tell her father about this.

Su Tong remembered something again, and smiled and said, "Sister, there is a prize in the newspaper to collect opinions today. I want to give some advice. I am not inconvenient. I will write a letter of opinion tonight. You will send it to the newspaper office tomorrow. If you win the prize, I will give you half of it."

"What are your good opinions? Tell me about it." Li Weizheng's voice suddenly came from behind them.

When the two sisters turned around, they saw Li Wei holding his little daughter Ye Zi in his arms, looking at them with a smile not far away. The two asked in surprise: "Dalang, why did you come back?"

"I just came back." Li Wei pointed to a red dot on his face and said with a wry smile: "I was attacked by someone as soon as I came back and got an arrow."

Zi Tong hurriedly smiled and hugged her daughter with a proud look on her face, but Ye Zi turned around and stayed in her father's arms and refused. Zi Tong said, "Be good Ye Zi, hug your brother to your father."

Li Weizheng had seen his son, lying on Su Tong's knees, looking at him timidly. Li Weizheng felt guilty in his heart. His son was one year old, and he had been with his son for too short time. All of them were less than a month in total, and he couldn't even catch up with his son's birth.

Li Wei was putting his daughter down. He squatted in front of his son, patted his hands gently, and stretched out his arms to him, "Come on! Let Dad hug him!"

Su Tong gently helped Li Tan over and said with a smile: "Dad has brought you something delicious, go and ask for it quickly."

Perhaps it was because of the father-son nature, Li Tan staggered for a few steps, suddenly threw himself into his father's arms, and said vaguely: "Dad..."

Li Wei was picking him up and kissing him heavily on his face. He said happily: "My son, Daddy misses you every day."

Suddenly, Li Wei felt someone pulling his pants. When he lowered his head, he saw his little daughter looking up at him with nostalgia on his face. He squatted down and picked up his little daughter, kissed her and smiled, "Dad misses you every day, and your sister."

Li Wei was sitting down with his son and daughter in his arms, and then he smiled at Su Tong: "You just said that you have a suggestion for the miscellaneous newspapers, so you can tell me now!"

Su Tong's face turned red and said a little embarrassedly: "I think we should leave a small piece of space for women to talk about women's affairs, such as how to make rouge powder, clothes and other things, so that women will also like this newspaper."

Li Weizheng nodded and smiled, "You make sense, but whether in Goryeo or Liaodong, most women are illiterate. Not only women, but most men are illiterate. I plan to ask the school’s teacher to open a night school to teach adults in Liaodong and Goryeo. At a certain time, I will run several more newspapers, one of which is for women, but your suggestions can be adopted, and a small column for women is opened first, so that the school children can read it to their mothers."

At this time, Qianqian and Yao Ji also rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw Li Weizheng, the whole family was very happy. Qianqian pulled Li Zhiqiu, who was pestering her to read the newspaper, and smiled at Zitong: "Sister! Who said I'm fine? Yao Ji and I are preparing to arrest Zhou tomorrow. We are so busy that we have lost our hearts. Have you forgotten?"

Zitong then remembered, and she quickly apologized and said with a smile: "It's true, I really forgot, Zhiqiu, let Dad read the newspaper to you, he's fine."

It is a traditional custom to capture Zhou. When a child is one year old, he is asked to choose various items, abacus, seal, books, swords, and powder. It depends on which one he can choose and his future development. In fact, this is just a custom. Children may not necessarily go to business in the future. Now most people also capture Zhou, just for fun, but it was different in the Ming Dynasty. Many people believe in catching Zhou, believing that on the day of one year old, God will give children a revelation and let him choose his own life. Therefore, many families, especially wealthy families, attach great importance to catching Zhou.

Of course, it is not a matter of being arrested for Zhou after the first year. Li Wei also set up nearly 200 banquets in the palace, asking the soldiers guarding the palace and the palace maids who served their families to have a big meal. In addition, he also invited the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Du Zhuo to invite Liaodong officials for him, and asked his confidant Chen Wanli to invite high-ranking military officials for him, and finally asked Cui Ping to invite Korean officials for him. He had to take all these etiquettes.

The arrest of Zhou was held in the palace. The participants were all Li Weizheng's relatives, including his secret mistress, Queen Wang Shunji of Goryeo. No outsiders participated. In the palace, a large square table with a length of about one piece was placed, which was filled with all kinds of things, and there were nearly a hundred kinds of things. The preparation for the arrest of Zhou was handled by Qianqian. She thought it very carefully, such as the seal, she prepared three types of seals, the seal of the king, the seal of the minister and the seal of the general. Because there were some taboo things inside, outsiders were not allowed to participate. For example, Yao Ji also specially sewed a small dragon robe.

One-year-old Li Tan dressed up very energetic today, wearing a white warrior uniform, barefoot, and a small black hat on his head. His mother Zitong hugged him in a blank space on the stage. This is also the starting point, and everything is placed casually in front of him.

"Let's start!" Li Wei was shouting softly, and Zi Tong let go of his son. Li Tan had long been attracted by a lot of things in front. As soon as his mother let go, he screamed happily and immediately crawled towards the things in front.

Everyone was watching him, and his heart was raised to his throat. Zha Zhou was not just a good thing like swords and seals. In fact, everything from all walks of life must be put, including monk's wooden fish, Taoist priest's whisk, and even the butcher's wooden pig-killing sword.

Li Tan first picked up a wooden fish closest to him, played with it, and threw it away without interest. He picked up another book and threw it away casually. Suddenly, he grabbed a wooden sword. Because the scabbard was red, he was very interested and held it in his hand for a long time without putting it down.
