On the third and fourth days, Aman still didn't give birth to anything, didn't complain, didn't make a reason not to do it...... Qiu Chen can finally determine that something is wrong with this kid!

The next day, Qiu Chen still felt that Aman was silently enduring it......

On the first day, Qiu Chen still thought that Ah Man was fresh;

So Aman did not object, did not slip away or whatever, was quiet and extremely obedient......

In the morning, he was dealing with various affairs to be done in the house, and after lunch, Qiu Chen took Ah Man to inspect the things he bought from everywhere; clothes, handkerchiefs, shoes and hats made of needlework; There are also various utensils and supplies prepared for the sacrifice...... These things are not accurate, and some are just a glance; Some of them have to be carefully examined, and those that are not suitable and dissatisfied have to be carefully considered, and then they are re-instructed......

Because Qiu Chen had already prepared, and with the help of Mama Chen, Mama Lin and other right-hand men, the New Year's affairs were not too tiring. It's just that the time for most of the previous half an hour has been doubled, and it will be dealt with in two hours at most. But that's not enough.

He added, "Next, you and Chengying will calculate at the same time, and if the response is correct, you can issue a brand!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled, glanced at Aman, was very honored, and also praised: "Well, it's good!" ”

"Ouch, the eldest lady has such a good memory, not a word is bad!" The faithful immediately praised it. The other mothers-in-law and girls in the room also chimed in.

Aman didn't dare to be distracted anymore, listened attentively to the numbers reported by the mother-in-law, her fingers quickly plucked the beads on the abacus, skillfully calculating the accounts, the words of the faithful family fell, and she also reported the results: "A total of two sets of sweet white porcelain, two sets of red ...... in the glaze"

"You kid! At this time, the stewards are very busy, and there are still twenty young people waiting outside to get a sign to do things, but you can't delay, you can't be distracted anymore......" Qiu Chen smiled and educated a few words, and then turned back to the faithful family, "You report again, slow down, the eldest lady didn't hear it clearly just now." ”

I had just come out of my mind, and I hadn't heard any accounts from the faithful family, and I couldn't count them at all.

looked down at the abacus, but it was still the account reported by a mother-in-law before, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

She was startled, and hurriedly agreed, "Yes......"

"Man'er, have you calculated the account of the faithful family just now? …… Man'er? Qiu Chen's call woke Aman from his tumultuous thoughts.

The trust and dependence on his mother made Aman make such a judgment. Only with such a judgment can it be explained that the second uncle knew that his father was alive, but he did not prevent his mother from remarrying......

It should be!

Or, did the father change his mind and abandon their mother and son? Don't recognize their mother and son?

If so...... Aman didn't dare to think about it, and he really couldn't figure it out, if his mother knew that his father was still alive, why did he abandon his father and remarry his current stepfather? There is also a second uncle...... Since the second uncle knew that his father was still alive, why didn't he persuade his mother to remarry?

If you don't know, if your mother knows about it in the future, what should she do?

From this question, Aman couldn't help but think of it, does my mother know about my father's death?

She clearly remembers that when she was a child, her mother often didn't know the words, and she had to ask her second uncle, and writing was also practiced little by little after doing business...... Could it be that my mother is talented?

Her mother hadn't been to school for a day!

If it's a simple addition or subtraction of numbers, it's okay, after all, my mother has done business, opened a workshop, and received medicinal materials, so it's normal to be proficient in accounting. The multiplicable and divisive algorithm is such an irritating number of numbers...... Not to mention those who have never gone to school, even if they have studied arithmetic for seven or eight years, Aman, who boasts of extremely high arithmetic ability, is far behind. This is surprising!

The mother who sat there was something Aman had never seen, stern, wise, and sharp, but also generous and gentle...... Not only that, but Aman was also surprised to find that his mother's arithmetic was excellent, and sometimes, when the housekeeper's mother-in-law reported a long list of numbers, her mother would immediately be able to say how to deal with it, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, without any difference.

Watching my mother straighten her waist and sit there upright, listening to those mothers-in-law going on and talking one by one, if there is an old case, follow the old practice, and if there is no old case, deal with it as appropriate...... With a start, a precedent is set!

Since the ninth day of the lunar month, after breakfast every day, when Qiu Chen went to the director of Songfeng Academy, there was a small account room next to him.

If this girl is openly detained to manage the affairs, even if Aman does not dare to oppose it openly, he will definitely secretly resist passively. Instead, let her help settle the accounts and solve problems for her mother, but the little girl felt that she was very valued, and she agreed.

Qiu Chen detained Aman in front of him, and said that Yufeng was pregnant, Qingxing went to Changqing, and there was not enough manpower to settle accounts with him, so he invited Aman to come and act as the little bookkeeper.

Lined with Ah Fu and Ah Man on vacation, Qiu Chen handed over Brother Yun to Ah Fu to take with him, the person who admires the little thing the most is the eldest brother except for his father, and he can be a little tail behind the eldest brother at this time, and he doesn't have to worry about Qiu Chen, he wants to be more happy and happy, and he especially listens to Ah Fu's words.

There are rules to follow for the New Year's Festival, and the people in the house are all familiar old people, and their personal temperament and ability are also very familiar, so they are naturally handy to use.

There was a holiday in the school, and Zhixian Zhide was also picked up by the Zhai family in Tongzhou. Naturally, Hezhen didn't come over. In the past, it was lively every day, and the Jingbei Hou Mansion, which had to open two tables for every meal, was suddenly a lot quieter.

After sending off Yixuan's mother and daughter, Qiu Chen was busy for several days, and finally sent Yang Shumeng and Junli Junzhang away early in the morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, and embarked on the return journey back to Anyang.

Junwen Junshu can't come back for the New Year when he goes out to study, Junyan Junzhang and Junli go back to Anyang with Yang Shumeng for the New Year!

When I arrived in Laba, the school and private school were on vacation to prepare for the New Year. Junyan Junzhang Junli also took a holiday.

Seeing off Yixuan's mother and daughter, time immediately slipped into the lunar month, and soon ushered in the first festival of the lunar month: Laba!

Brother Yun was obviously distracted, opened his mouth, and finally came back to his strength, took the initiative to hug Qiu Chen's neck, and said very manly: "Mother, Yun'er protects you and protects your younger brothers and sisters!" ”

"Isn't Yun'er unhappy?" Qiu Chen asked knowingly, and without waiting for the little thing to answer, he sighed and said, "Your father, your brother and cousins have all escorted your aunt there, and there is only one left in the family to protect your mother and three little ones, and there is no one to protect your mother's ......."

Seeing that my father and my brother and cousin all rode horses to see them off, even my sister got into the car and followed...... He was the only one left, and the little thing was very unhappy, although he didn't cry, but he pouted with red eyes, and I was annoyed with a face!

Qiu Chen shook his head, fought all kinds of thoughts in his heart, turned his head according to the meaning of Mama Chen and Mama Lin, and took the red-eyed Brother Yun from Mama Wang's arms.

Alas, that's it, that's it, Yixuan is a person born and raised in this era, and her ideology is different from her. didn't accept that concubine before, but he also arranged a room for Zhai Dagongzi more than once. Just like the general perception of this era, in the eyes of Yixuan and many noble ladies, they really don't treat the girl who has a room as a person, and what is the difference between a girl who can sell and dispose of life and death at any time and an object!

Yi Xuan lived in the capital for two or three months, and the eldest son of the Zhai family was afraid that there would be more than one person in the house...... Qiu Chen really couldn't imagine what Yi Xuan should feel when she rushed back with a big belly and saw that situation......

Seeing that Yixuan was reluctant to go back after staying, she really didn't think much about the eldest son of the Zhai family, but for the sake of the children, for the sake of the most important honor in this society, she could only make a fool of herself in front of the man and force her face to laugh.

Seeing that more than a dozen convoys were slowly starting, Qin Zheng took Ah Fu, Zhixian Zhide, and even Junyan Junzhang Junli brothers, all of whom rode horses and waited outside the second gate, and when they saw the convoy coming out, they got on the horses one after another, followed Qin Zheng, and escorted them on both sides of the convoy. Qiu Chen stood at the second gate, watching the convoy and escort slowly walk out of the gate of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, out of sight. Finally, he let out a long sigh.

"Yes, the slave has written it down, don't worry, madam!"

"Everything on the road must be the body of the second aunt and grandmother!"

Qiu Chen turned back to explain to Qingxing, this time, Qingxing sent Yixuan back to Changqing on behalf of Qiu Chen.

At this time, he stepped forward and helped Qiu Chen get out of the car, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it will be appropriate to have Qin Xiao and Qin Li escort the second sister." ”

Qiu Chen sent Yixuan and Mingwei mother and daughter to the second gate, watched the mother and daughter get into the carriage, and checked it in person, making sure that the interior of the carriage was properly arranged and warm and comfortable, and then got out of the carriage. Qin Zheng took the children to personally send Yixuan's mother and daughter out of the city.

Either way, there will be a difference.

"It's only thirty today, and you haven't entered the wax moon yet, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry on the road, walk slowly, it's too fast and bumpy, you can't stand the ...... at this time" After instructing, Qiu Chen said again, "The green curtain carriage prepared in the house has cowhide and felt added to it, you should not be cold when you get on the car, you should be careful when you get off, don't blow the wind!" ”

Qiu Chen stretched out his hand to support her, and then helped up Mingwei, who saluted later, and took the opportunity to look at the clothes on the mother and daughter, they were wearing soft and warm silk cotton clothes and pants, and wrapped in a big wool cloak.

Seeing Qiu Chen coming in, Yi Xuan hurriedly got up to greet her, and said, "Sister-in-law is still running this trip in such a cold day, it should be me who took Wei'er over to say goodbye to my eldest brother and sister-in-law!" ”

Yixuan and Mingwei's mother and daughter have already packed up, and even the two brothers Zhixian and Zhide got up early to see off their mother and sister.

Qiu Chen answered vaguely, then got up and dressed, hurriedly combed his hair and tidied up his clothes, it was already the end of the hour. She didn't bother to eat breakfast, so she called a warm sedan chair and went all the way to Wisteria Xuan.

What kind of people are Mama Chen and Mama Lin, even if they don't serve in front of them, they will understand at a glance. What's more, Qin Zheng still has to overheat it at night......

In this era, many people did not send away the people who served in the boudoir, and those maids and wives served in the house, and even outside the tent...... This kind of thing, Qiu Chenrao can't accept it no matter how thick-skinned he is! Not only is there no one left in the house when he is doing errands, but it is usual, even if Qin Zheng is not at home, Qiu Chen does not leave anyone in the house to serve, at most let the girl on duty sleep in the ear room, which is more convenient.

"Then after sending the second aunt and grandmother away, right?" Mama Lin built yì again.

"No, no need," Qiu Chen immediately vetoed with some weakness, and then explained, "Second aunt and grandmother are going to leave and return to Changqing today, the hour is not early, let's talk about it later!" ”

"Madame, do you want to call someone to press it?" Mama Lin smiled beside her.

Soaking in the special medicinal soup, the muscles of the whole body relaxed, and the soreness was relieved a lot. Leaning against the wall of the bathtub, with Mama Chen gently wiping her back with a cloth towel, Qiu Chen simply closed his eyes and couldn't see the ambiguous smiles of the two grandmothers.

When he entered the clean room to take a shower and change clothes, and saw the medicinal soup in the bathtub, as well as the ambiguous smiles of Mama Chen and Mama Lin, Qiu Chen, who felt that his cheeks could reach the city wall, still couldn't help but blush.

Wrapped in a quilt and ripped through his clothes, Qiu Chen quickly threw the quilt back and covered the man in a mess. …… The girls will come in and serve when they hear the voice, and her man can't show it to the others!

"Oh, then you rest, I'll send someone to talk to the second sister, just say that you can't get up if you're uncomfortable......" Before he finished speaking, Qiu Chen pulled the quilt and got up, flashed the man who shared a quilt aside, and his chest was exposed, which made Qiu Chen look at it unconsciously.

"Humph!" Qiu Chen snorted angrily, and while his body relaxed, he nestled back into the man's arms, and said lazily: "I can't get up......"

"Hmm......" Qin Zheng's face stiffened, and his body tensed.

"......Huh" Qiu Chen exhaled, rubbed his brows helplessly, turned around, nestled into the man's chest, and then, with one hand, reached down, pinched a little bit of meat on the man's waist and twisted it fiercely.

As everyone knows, this kind of appearance of teeth and claws and fierce voice is no different from the unwilling appearance of the captured enemy in Qin Zheng's eyes, not only is he not annoyed, but he is pleased. However, Qin Zheng also understood that the person in front of him was not an enemy after all, it was his wife, and he couldn't really be killed under the horse or anything, so he had to coax some. So, he stretched out his arm, hugged his waist with a happy expression, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't you say that the second sister is leaving Beijing today......

"Did you take the wrong medicine? Or did you forget to take your medicine? Qiu Chen turned his head angrily and asked, and when he was done, he glanced at the grinning villain hatefully, turned his head very depressedly, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Is this crazy? Aren't you holding ice cubes with a straight face every day?

Hmph, Qiu Chen closed his eyes and turned his head, turned a deaf ear, and ignored it. Someone who had no face and no skin chuckled behind him...... made Qiu Chen's heart impetuous and angry.

-- just endure him, let him, let him ...... Ignore him, stay for a few more decades, and look at him!

Qiu Chen's cheeks were hot, and he subconsciously closed his eyes, feeling that he was too wilted, what was there to be afraid of? This man is like this, he doesn't spare people after bullying people, it's too much, too rampant, too ...... Well, good women don't fight men...... What do you say?

A chuckle, still with a hint of hoarse sleepiness, came into Qiu Chen's ears: "Awake? Do you want me to give you another laugh? ”

I couldn't flirt with people last night, but I was bullied and squeezed for most of the night...... Even the water washing was done in her semi-sleepy state.

Early the next morning, Qiu Chen slowly opened his eyes, lowered his eyes to look at his bare shoulders, and could only let out a long sigh of unwillingness.

As he spoke, he turned around and left, but after all, he took a step slower, the heavens and the earth turned upside down in an instant, and the person was already held up in the air, Qin Zheng took her and strode towards the layers of embroidered brocade tents......

Qin Zheng's face was calm and waveless, and he looked into Qiu Chen's eyes with a dark and clear gaze, obviously nothing happened, but it made Qiu Chen subconsciously feel a chill in his heart, a coldness crossed his spine, the smile on his face froze, he put the comb in his hand down, and said, "Hehe, just kidding, just kidding......"

The corners of his mouth provoked a hint of laughter, Qiu Chen held the ivory carved sea pomegranate comb, like a squirm holding a folding fan, picked Qin Zheng's chin, smiled and said frivolously: "Beauty, give Ye a ...... smile"

As the two of them spoke, Qiu Chen picked Qin Zheng's hair one by one and twisted it dry, and smoothed it out with an ivory comb. Looking at the long black and shiny hair that reached under his hips, Qiu Chen suddenly had a whimsical idea and pulled Qin Zheng's hair together at the back of his head and braided it into a single braid...... Then he turned to the front to look at Qin Zheng in his puzzled gaze, and then shook his head with a smile. Because he didn't shave the moon door, he couldn't find the feeling of the big braids of the Qing Dynasty at all, on the contrary, Qin Zheng's sideburns and hairline were neat, and he was in line with the sentence 'sideburns are like knives, and his hair is like dyed ink', plus his facial features are three-dimensional and handsome, even if Qiu Chen is so destructive, she has to admit that this man still can't help but make her heartbeat!

Qiu Chen had been thinking about Banbanman'er's character before, but he didn't put it into action. Now hearing Qin Zheng say this, he is a little moved. If you take Man'er out more often, you will get along more with those little girls of the same age, and you will naturally have a softer temperament and grow more in getting along with people. The plan was agreed, and Qiu Chen immediately had an implementation plan, and as the New Year was approaching, there were frequent exchanges in the Xungui circle, so he just took his daughter out to experience the experience.

Qin Zheng didn't know much about this, but after listening to what his wife said, he nodded and agreed: "Then take Man'er out to meet guests, and make some sisters of the same age, the daughter of the province is lonely." ”

Qiu Chen raised her eyes and glanced at her husband in the mirror, and said with a smile: "It's usually okay, but now that Yixuan is pregnant, she is waiting for Mingwei to be by her side, how can she bring people back with Man'er's temperament...... Besides, Ming Wei is about to reach the age of saying goodbye, and Yixuan also has to teach her to be the director of the house to manage the affairs of the house, and it is okay to go out once in a while, and I am afraid that it will not work to take her to live for a long time. ”

"Man'er is alright? Tell her that she doesn't have to be sad, and that after the New Year, just bring Mingwei back. Qin Zheng walked out of the clean room and sat on the drum stool in front of the dressing table, and his wife wiped his hair, while saying disapprerovitously.

"It's my duty to serve Mrs. Hou, and I don't deserve what Mrs. Hou said." Mama Lin smiled and bent her knees and bowed, handed the cloth towel in her hand to Qiu Chen, lowered her hand and withdrew with a smile.

Qiu Chen smiled slightly, and when he walked in, Mama Lin was already waiting for Qin Zheng to put on his pajamas. Qiu Chen smiled: "Labor is a mother." ”

Although Mama Lin is not Qin Zheng's nurse, she is not as close as Mama Chen, but she has been serving Qin Zheng since she was a child.

A few girls were waiting in the outhouse, and when they saw Qiu Chen coming in, they bent their knees to greet each other and came forward to serve the cloak with the big hair removed, and replied: "Mama Lin is waiting for the Hou Ye to bathe in the house!" ”

Qiu Chen came back from Jixiuxuan, where Aman lived, it was getting late, and Qin Zheng also took Brother Yun back after practicing and was washing in the clean room.
