Chen Mansion, Chen Shou once again did not return at night.

After Li Lingyue washed her feet, she looked unhappy, and even Zhihua, who had always liked to quarrel with her, didn't dare to provoke her.

A few young maids in the room didn't dare to breathe, Li Lingyue stretched out his little feet, let Zhihua dry it, stepped on the clogs around the screen and sat in front of the dresser, facing the mirror and began to remove the hairpin on his head.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Li Lingyue counted with his fingers, he hadn't had sex with his husband for five days, and couldn't help but sigh with some resentment.

Fortunately, there are still these maids who say some intimate words, so they are not too lonely.

After the little maid fanned out the lamp, Li Lingyue brushed her hair and said, "Let's sleep in the back room." ”

The maids, including Zhihua, were all happy, and the inner room was much warmer than the outer room, and it was also more comfortable.

After lying down, the master and servant gossiped with each other.

Fan Er suddenly said: "We don't have an heir in the house, no wonder, there must be a breath of breath in each room, the second lady sneakily got some children's clothes today, maybe she also wants to give birth to a son for the master." ”

Li Lingyue didn't feel good in his heart, and secretly asked whether to let Hong'er prescribe a few prescriptions, Zhihua interjected: "The second lady has been with the master for the longest time, and she listens to him on weekdays, shouldn't it be prepared for the outer house?" ”

"Huh?"

Li Lingyue thought of many things at once, although he was still uncertain, but the woman's intuition had begun to warn.

---

Chen Shou yawned and returned home from the summer palace, when a gust of cold wind poured into his neck, freezing him to the core.

"It's getting colder and colder this day, and I see that it's even more outrageous than last year, so I hurriedly asked the weaving mill in the city to rush to work, weave more cotton and clothes, and send them to the front line in Qingzhou and Hejian." Chen Shou commanded casually.

"The weaving mill is short of manpower, especially at this time, when everyone is huddled at home, ready for the New Year. Even the poorest people are not willing to work at this time, after all, they are all the heads of the family. Zhang He said with a bitter face.

"Didn't I say that if the conditions are relaxed, both men and women will be recruited?"

"My lord, the recruitment of female workers you started last time has provoked a group of students to criticize and write, and many scholars have gathered together to make trouble and hinder recruitment."

Chen Shou said hatefully: "It's too feudal, a group of backward elements, with them, when will Daqi be rich and strong." ”

Anger is like this, and it is not very easy to change it.

However, Chen Shou rolled his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, Bianliang is the nest of these bird literati, in fact, except for them, the other people are still very simple, and there are no such bird things.

"Go to a remote place, open a workshop, and provide the same monthly money and benefits as in Bianliang. Anyway, it's military, you don't have to think about the market, and you don't have to sell it on the spot. ”

"Will this work?" Zhang He felt that Bianliang couldn't, and it was even more difficult in other places, after all, Bianliang's population was the largest in Daqi.

Chen Shou smiled and said, "Why not, just do what I say." ”

"Ahem..."

When Chen Shoumei was imagining the construction of his own weaving mill and making fuller use of the manpower on his own territory, there were a few coughs in his ears.

"Madame! What are you doing here early in the morning, come in and get warm. ”

Li Lingyue shook off Chen Shou's hand and asked in an unkind tone, "Shoulang, where did you go last night?" ”

Zhang He hurriedly smiled and said, "Madame doesn't know, my lord..."

Halfway through his words, Zhang He suddenly felt a chill on his back, looked up and saw his wife's eyes, so frightened that he quickly shut up, and said while slipping away: "My subordinates remembered that there were still some things, so they retired first." ”

"Haha, this Zhang He is really interesting, hahaha." Chen Shou snorted, and when he saw that Li Lingyue's face was still not good, he scratched his head in disdain.

"Madame listened to me, last night I was in Huang Zhen's mansion, discussing the war in Hedong, the old thing had to leave me to eat and drink, I was greedy for a cup, drunk, the weather was cold, they were afraid that I would catch the cold, so they helped me sleep in his guest room."

Li Lingyue was still staring at himself expressionlessly, and Chen Shou smiled and said: "My madam, she still looks good when she smiles, especially the two shallow dimples on her cheeks, which are very cute." ”

"Really?" Li Lingyue couldn't hold back, regretted it again after speaking, and flicked his sleeves into the room.

Chen Shou followed up, picking up and saying something nice, and the little bee seemed to have to circle around his daughter-in-law.

Li Lingyue is a person who is prone to anger, but Chen Shou is like the nemesis of her life, as long as she makes some small words, she will be dizzy and can't find the north.

Zhihua couldn't stand it, and coughed lightly in the back, Li Lingyue put away his smiling face and asked with a straight face: "You are sneaky, sneaky, and prepare some children's things, where are you going to send them?" ”

Chen Shou hated a lot in his heart, turned his back to Li Lingyue, and made a threatening action to wipe his neck in front of Zhihua, who was not afraid at all.

Chen Shou had no choice but to smile and said: "In the summer palace, an important person is pregnant, and the reputation is not good, so I can only give her a little bit in person." You know, in the summer palace, there are a bunch of widows. ”

Li Lingyue squinted his eyes and asked, "Could it be... My sister, right? ”

"Don't ask, it's not easy to talk about people, hehe..."

Li Lingyue already had a trace of intuition, where was he willing to give up easily, and asked: "What do you have to say to me, your mouth can enter my ears." ”

Chen Shou pouted, signaling that there was an eye-obstruction next to him, but he saw that Zhihua had small ears erected, and he didn't dare to move, for fear that he wouldn't hear it.

"Zhihua, you go out first."

"Miss!"

"Get out!"

Zhihua reluctantly walked out, and after walking out a few steps, he crept back and eavesdropped under the door.

The movement inside suddenly became smaller, and Zhihua felt strange, and suddenly the door was slammed open, and Zhihua fell to the ground with a butt, and he ran away as if he had run away.

Zhihua rubbed his buttocks, and when he went in, he saw that the second lady, who had always been grinning, had a string of tears on her face, her apricot eyes were round, and her willow eyebrows were upside down.

"Miss...", Zhihua called tentatively.

Suddenly, the second lady threw herself on the table and cried bitterly.

"I fought with him!" Zhihua felt uncomfortable in her heart, when did the second lady feel so uncomfortable, her heart was like her most cherished glass was broken, and she rolled up her sleeves and was about to go out.

Li Lingyue grabbed her, lay on Zhihua's chest, and cried: "Why does she want to rob me of everything!" ”

"I've lost to her since I was a child, I can't compete with her in anything, and Shoulang will be taken away by her sooner or later."

When the master and servant hugged their heads and cried, Chen Shou went and returned outside the door and slowly walked in.
