Qi Yun, the newly arrived magistrate, did not know him. In fact, since Shao Zhizhou was blown away by the wind of overhauling officials, the newcomer appeared to be very cautious, without great fanfare or extravagance, and kept a low profile.

I only heard Shi Tianrui say that he was a smart and capable official who did a lot of business wherever he went, which was a good thing for the people.

This time, Zhizhou invited merchants to go, mostly in order to recognize people and give them peace of mind.

Qi Yun would have agreed to this kind of thing. Now he has replaced the Shao family as the largest rich man in the city. It can be said that the upstart is holding hands. If he wants to walk steadily, he must have a good relationship up and down.

But Qi Yun thought about his wife's belly again, and he was about to give birth in more than a month, so he first asked Tiezi, "can you tell me a specific time?"

Tiezi handed over the invitation and replied, "it will be ten days later."

Qi Yun calculated in his mind that Ye Jiao was eight months pregnant at that time.

The last month was the most critical. Qi Yun didn't want to leave Ye Jiao. Even though the matter of the shop was not as important as that of his wife, he shook his head at Tiezi and said, "No, I can't go. I'll write a letter to explain it later." you must hand it over to the Lord of Zhizhou. "

Tiezi also guessed this result, so he nodded and followed Qi Yun into the yard.

Qi er Xiao entered the bedroom, while Tiezi stood at the door and waited obediently.

As soon as he looked up, Tiezi saw Xiao Su coming over with a copper basin. He immediately smiled and leaned over and said, "you're up early today. Have you had breakfast yet?"

Xiao Su shook his head: "I'll eat later. I'm not hungry yet. What are you doing here?"

Tiezi pointed to the door and said, "the second young master went in just now. I'm waiting for him."

Xiao Su immediately paused and hesitated for a moment.

When the ordinary second young master and the second young woman are alone, most people seldom go in and disturb them, not entirely out of fear, but also because of the presence of the second young master, he will help with all the things of the second young woman, regardless of whether he washes his face and combs his hair or paints his eyebrows and lips. The second young master of his own family is almost omnipotent.

It seems superfluous for anyone to go.

But Xiao Su knocked gently at the door and said in a low voice, "second young master, the second young woman is up. I brought Scald. Will you send it in now?"

After a while, Qi Yun reached out and took the basin from Xiao Su's hand, while looking at Tiezi, Qi Yun said, "take Xiao Su to eat and come back in half an hour."

Tiezi answered happily, and then took Xiao Su to the side of the small kitchen.

Qi Yun, on the other hand, brought water, closed the door with his knee, and turned back into the room.

Ye Jiao was leaning against the carved bedstead, her eyes dazed as she just woke up, and hit Yawn when Qi Yun came over.

It's not the first time Qi Yun has seen Ye Jiaogang awake, but he likes it every time he sees it.

The fragrant cheeks were slightly red, the eyes were hazy, and the voice was soft: "Xianggong, when is it?"

The man put down the copper basin, took a cloth towel, put it in and wrung it dry, and walked over and said, "you woke up several times last night. I'm afraid you didn't sleep well. It's normal to be sleepy in the morning. No matter when you want to sleep, go back to sleep."

Ye Jiao held her face high and obediently let Qi Yun wipe herself.

After slightly wiping his face with a warm and humid cloth, the little ginseng felt refreshed, and when he looked at him, his eyes had regained his former clearness: "I'm awake, I'm not sleepy, I'm just a little hungry."

I had an early dinner last night, but if get up late today, will be hungry.

On hearing this, Qi Yun put the cloth towel aside, brought green salt water to her mouth, and said with a smile, "when I got up, I let the kitchenette stew porridge. Some time ago, Zhuangzi brought pickled dishes. You will have lunch soon."

Oh, it looks like got up late again today.

Ye Jiao, who has no feeling for getting up late, gargles her mouth, brushes her teeth with dental powder made of medicinal herbs and spices, and then gargles with scented tea, which can be regarded as getting out of bed.

While wearing clothes, Ye Jiao's eyes looked at the invitation on the table. Not to mention Qi Yun, Ye Jiao received it herself. She blinked and said, "Xianggong, do you want to go out?"

Without hiding it from her, Qi Yun tied a crony to Ye Jiao and said, "the new Zhizhou invited merchants in the city to meet ten days later, but I calculated the time, and you were critical at that time, so I thought of quitting and guarding you. I'm afraid it will delay me to help you."

When someone else hears my husband say this, I'm afraid he will be moved into a mess.

Unluckily, Little Ginseng has a straight temper, smells and thinks about it, and then looks at Qi Yun in some doubt: "Xianggong, I don't understand. I have a baby. What can you do for me?"

Qi Yun made a meal, looked up at Ye Jiao, opened his mouth, but did not say a word.

Ye Jiao recalled her last experience: "it was Xiao Su who went to call the midwife. You brought me Chicken Noodle Soup and fell. Later, you waited outside, and you didn't have to deliver the baby. I don't seem to need your help."

Qi Yun wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it for a long time, he felt as if he had nothing to refute.

As if. I can't do anything about giving birth to a baby.

This cognition made Qi Yun feel a little lost and distressed, so he reached out and hugged Ye Jiao: "Thank you for your real hard work, Niang Niang."

Little ginseng hugged him back, patted Qi Yun on the back and said nothing. After a while, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He slightly looked up at Qi Yun and said, "speaking of which, Wan Ying told me earlier that she had found a teacher who could enlighten her children very well. You might as well take the opportunity to have a look. If it is good, you can settle down Xu Bao early."

The teacher, referring to the teacher, used to invite one of the rich families to come home to teach the children.

It is not necessary to enlighten children so early, but it also varies from person to person.

Xubao is really smart. He doesn't forget to speak after listening to his ears, and he can read words very quickly, even though what he says when he laughs and acts like a spoiled child is still vague, but when it comes to listening to books and reading words, he is more enthusiastic than anything else.

Although Qi Yun has taken Qi Ming, in the final analysis, he does not specialize in this, and it would be great to have a teacher who specializes in doing this. Ye Jiao said that Wan Ying is the wife of Shi Zhi County, Zheng Shi, from the boudoir of the big family, and the person who wants to be introduced will not be bad.

Moreover, it is not a matter of overnight to hire a teacher. One must look at the other as soon as possible.

Qi Yun asked, "where is the teacher Mrs. Shi said?"

Ye Jiao thought about it with her lips, and then said, "it was in a private school in the city. Wan Ying said that Xubao was still young. If he could make a deal with this teacher, he could just invite him to come every five days."

Hearing this, Qi Yun knew that Ye Jiao was letting herself go to the city. He couldn't help looking down at his wife and whispered, "are you trying to persuade me?"

He had the impression that Ye Jiao, soft and clever, was a good girl, but she never worried about anything other than eating and drinking.

But this time, Ye Jiao nodded.

She still clung to Qi Yun, because her belly was too big to hug the man's body. She just put her arm around the man's neck and looked at Qi Yun with a smile in her eyes. Her voice was soft and soft: "Xianggong has been working hard for me. I know that." You have things to do, and so do I. when you do yours, you are good to me. "

The words were simple, simple, and even without any embellishments, but Qi Yun understood it.

My wife is always thorough. Just because she wants things to be different doesn't mean she doesn't know anything.

On the contrary, Ye Jiao has been studying hard, learning to be a man, learning to do things, and learning to love the person in front of her better.

Moreover, Ye Jiao had a worry that she did not tell Qi Yun that there was no grass.

The voice of the little ginseng was soft: "there is a mother for everything, and Li Langzhong. There is still some time to go before giving birth. Just go there and come back. It doesn't matter."

Qi Yun heard the words, was silent for a long time, nodded, then buried his face in Ye Jiao's neck and whispered, "Lady, if you start all of a sudden, you must let someone call me back."

"good." Ye Jiao answered in her mouth, thinking to herself, "We'll talk about it then."

Li Langzhong said that the child was a little different, but he didn't say where it was different. The little ginseng thought about his dream before, fearing that the doll would really grow grass and blossom this time.

If the husband is not here, he will be able to pull up the grass early.

After ten days, Qi Yun was ready to go to the city with Tiezi. Before leaving, Tsai-Tsai told him a lot of things, and Liu looked helpless: "if you go back in the morning and afternoon, just for one day, don't worry. I must take good care of my wife."

Qi Yun nodded, knowing that nothing would happen, but it was hard to avoid thinking about it.

Liu mentioned another thing: "when you come back, you happen to bring Saburo back with him. He ended the rural test today, just as you were together."

Qi Yun nodded, answered, looked at Ye Jiao again, and loosened his hand.

But without waiting for Qi Yun to turn around, he felt his sleeve tight.

She turned her head and looked right at Ye Jiao's tiptoe lips.

Just kissed it on the mouth.

Liu coughed and Tiezi turned his head. Xiao Su was not surprised. Ye Jiao loosened him and said with a smile, "Xianggong will come back early."

Qi Yun opened his mouth, answered, then turned around and left, looking at the serious 800, but the figure always shows a bit of a posture of desertion.

After he left, Liu went back to his yard, and when it was nearly noon, Dong and Li Lang came to the door.

This is also the request of Qi Yun. when he is away, it is natural to prepare everything that can be prepared and feel at ease only if it is foolproof.

Ye Jiao stretched out her hand to let Li Lang take the pulse. Li Lang twirled his beard in one hand and put the other hand on Ye Jiao's wrist.

After squinting and pondering for a long time, Li Lang opened his eyes, looked at Ye Jiao and said in a slow voice, "second Lady, I'm afraid it's twins this time."

Ye Jiao was stupefied. Dong looked at Ye Jiao's belly and shouted, "two?"

"mm-hmm." Li Lang nodded with a smile on his face. "there are two pulse signs. Before, because the fetus had not yet grown up, I was not quite sure. Now I feel the same pulse as the women who have given birth to twins." The second daughter-in-law can rest assured that the baby looks so good that there will be no mistakes. "

As soon as Dong heard this, there was a smile on his face.

Ordinary people are both yearning and afraid of twins, ordinary people may be poor, eat and sleep well, giving birth is a ghost, and two children are more prone to accidents.

But for wealthy families, it will not be too difficult to recuperate, and it is naturally a happy event.

"the double birthdays of the divine bear and the two accolades of Ruizhang" is a sign of good luck in this dynasty.

But knowing that there are two babies inside, Dong Shi looked at Ye Jiao with some care, reached out and helped Ye Jiao to the inner room, checked carefully, and made sure that the bosom phase was excellent and that he was relieved.

Before leaving, Li Lang warned: "the twins are born earlier than the average fetus, and the second daughter-in-law should immediately get people to prepare for it, so as not to be in a hurry."

Ye Jiao nodded and wrote down, and Xiao Su on one side nodded, and Mrs. Mo immediately went out to inform Liu and called the midwife to be ready.

Ye Jiao said with a smile, "it's like I'm going to have a baby today."

Li Langzhong would not stay with Ye Jiao all the time, so he first went to the wing to have a rest.

He came here today for a rainy day, so he should have some leisure.

But before Li Lang picked up the tea, he heard the excitement outside. Dong trotted over, pushed the door and shouted, "Li Lang, come quickly, Niang Niang." Niao Niang has started! "
