In the room, Zhao Ruxi, who had extremely sensitive ears, had already heard the voices of Wu Huaisi and Gong Cheng. But the master was agitated, so she pretended not to hear and waited in the room for the master to calm down slowly.

When she heard Wu Zong's voice, she quickly told Kang Shilin: "Master, the third senior brother seems to have arrived. I'll go out and take a look."

With that said, she ran out.

"Zhiwei, why are you here?" Xiao Ruotong saw Zhao Ruxi and hurried over in surprise.

"Didn't I hear that you are coming back? I'll come and wait for you." Zhao Ruxi smiled, raised his head and said hello to Wu Zong, "Third Senior Brother."

We haven't seen each other for two years, but Wu Zong is still the same, with a handsome face as before; Xiao Ruotong is a little plumper, and her eyebrows are more gentle and warm, which shows that her little life is extremely smooth and happy.

Zhao Ruxi's eyes fell on Xiaotuanzi in Wu Zong's arms: "Is this Yi'er? I am your Aunt Zhiwei."

The son of Wu Zong and Xiao Ruotong is one year and eight months old. His generation has a popular name, so Wu Zong named him Wu Yi. With the good looks of his parents, the little guy naturally looks pretty.

Very cute.

Xiao Ruotong originally wanted her son to call Zhao Ruxi "aunt", but she was stunned when she heard this, couldn't help laughing, and said to her son: "Yi'er, please call me aunt."

Although Zhao Ruxi and Xiao Ruotong are as close as sisters, and Wu Zong is also a very close brother and sister, when talking about relatives, we have to start from the blood relationship.

Xiao Ruotong is Xiao Lingyan's cousin in the next room. From this point of view, Wu Yi should indeed call Zhao Ruxi his aunt.

Xiao Ruotong is no longer the silly girl who is ignorant of the world. She knows that it will be of great benefit to Wu Yi to call Xiao Lingyan his uncle and Zhao Ruxi his aunt. Zhao Ruxi's move is to elevate his status.

Wu Yi can already speak short sentences very well, and it is no problem to attract people.

He called out in a sweet voice: "Auntie."

Before Zhao Ruxi came, he did not know that Wu Zong and Xiao Ruotong had returned to Beijing. He did not prepare a meeting gift for Wu Yi.

But she didn't need to worry about it. After Qing Feng knew the news, she asked someone to go back to the East Palace to get the gift. At this time, she was already waiting with a brocade box in her hands.

Seeing Wu Yi calling for someone, Qing Feng quickly stepped forward and opened the brocade box.

Zhao Ruxi took a look and found that there was a set of precious gold ornaments and a small set of the Four Treasures of the Study. She took the brocade box and showed it to Yi'er: "Auntie wishes little Yi'er to be wise and knowledgeable."

"Thank you, aunt." Wu Yi bowed to Zhao Ruxi in a decent manner.

"This kid is so smart." Zhao Ruxi smiled at Xiao Ruotong and gave the brocade box to Xiao Ruotong's maid.

"We don't have any other wishes. We just hope that he can be as smart as you." Xiao Ruotong said.

Zhao Ruxi raised her eyebrows, turned to Wu Zong and said, "Brother, you are looked down upon by your sister-in-law."

"Zhao Zhiwei, why are you still so bad-tempered? As soon as you come back, you try to sow discord between our husband and wife." Wu Zong scolded with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

Kang Shilin had already come out of the house. He was greatly relieved to see that Wu Zong and Zhao Ruxi were still the same as before, and had not become reserved and distant because of Zhao Ruxi's change of identity.

When they met Kang Shilin, everyone greeted and saluted. Little Yi'er was put on the ground and saluted, and received many greeting gifts.

We sat down and exchanged greetings. After Wu Zong asked about Kang Shilin's body, Wu Huaisi said to him: "When you come back, Mr. Zhang wants to become an official and give up his position to you. It was the prince and I who persuaded him."

Dali Temple is a very demanding place. Zhang Changshen is not in good health. Although he is young, he already wants to become an official. However, he prefers the position where Wu Zong will take him and has always wanted to wait for Wu Zong to come back.

Now that Wu Zong has been here for three years and his political achievements have been extremely dazzling, it is logical to succeed Zhang Changshen.

But both Xiao Lingyan and Wu Huaisi felt that the time was not mature enough.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zong said hurriedly: "I know. The prince and senior brother are also doing it for my own good. I have been away from Dali Temple for three years, and I can't get started at once. Although Mr. Zhang is not energetic, he only needs to sit in this position and give guidance.

It just helped me a lot and didn’t require him to work too hard.”

He is a smart man and naturally knows that besides this reason, there is another reason: Gong Cheng has just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

If he also became the Minister of Dali Temple, then among the heads of the three ministers and the six departments, three of them would be brothers. It would be too eye-catching, it would make Xiao Ge think too much, and it would not be good for Kang Shilin and Zhao Ruxi.

One is a master who is as kind as a mountain, and the other is a junior sister who has a very good relationship. When the two of them are good, the three of them will be good, and vice versa.

Wu Zongcai was in his thirties and had a long career ahead of him. He had a long-term view and did not care about the power at the moment.

Wu Huaisi knew that the third junior brother was a transparent person, and he understood some things without having to say them. Hearing Wu Zong's words, he nodded and stopped talking.

Wu Zong turned to look at Zhao Ruxi and changed the subject: "Little junior sister, you are amazing. Do you know that because of the farm tools and textile factories you built, the tax revenue received by Linjiang Prefecture last year increased by 30% compared to the year before?"

"It's not just taxes?" Speaking of this, Xiao Ruotong became excited, "The women's technical college you co-founded with Princess Shang De and Mrs. Cui is really great. The situation of local women has been greatly improved because of this. Someone will provide it for you.
