Chapter 80: Before the Storm (5)

Ye Qinyu smiled slightly, "What the county lord said is very true, when the child is born, I will teach you how to read the account book, how to select the source of goods, how to arrange the shipping schedule, how to communicate with people, how to arrange scheduling, and then how to recognize and employ people, and grasp the business opportunity crisis...... If you can calm down, Taixiangxing's affairs will not be finished in three or five months, but you have to take care of your body and listen slowly. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but hide their faces and laugh. The county lord has been stretching out his hand to eat since he was a child, not to mention this business operation, I am afraid that he doesn't even know how much a pound of grain and rice is, let alone take over Taixiangxing.

Yi'an's face turned red and white for a while, but now there is no Xiangwangfu and Concubine Zhu to support her, and naturally there is no longer the previous domineering, so she had to drop a sentence "Rong Chunyue is here and then reason with you" and left Qingxia angrily.

However, this contest made Liu Yi completely rein in her heart, in addition to still spending money on food and clothing, she no longer stepped out of the main house half a step since then, and since then the whole house has been at peace with each other.

Another ten days and a half months have passed, and it is time to calculate the day of delivery, but there is no movement in the main room, and Ye Qinyu gradually became a little worried. No matter what grudge she has with Yi'an, but the child is always innocent, if it is really because of her own negligence that the child has a case, it really can't pass the level of her conscience.

After dinner that day, Ye Qinyu was busy with Tai Xiangxing's affairs, so he called a doctor who helped Yi'an to come over and learn more about Yi'an's physical condition.

In his reply, the doctor casually said that Yi'an is not yet full-term, and there is no need to worry about the current movement.

Ye Qinyu is also a pregnant person, and she still knows some basic common sense, so she hurriedly asked, "The child is pregnant in the first half of the first month, and it should be the time to give birth, isn't it a misdiagnosis?" Doctor, the Xue family has always been generous to others, and will never embarrass others without asking whether it is right or wrong, so you don't need to worry that the Xue family will question your medical skills. If the eldest lady is unable to give birth for some reason, you can tell the truth and treat it in time. ”

The doctor was a little confused, and he was stunned for a while before returning, "Back to the second lady, look at the pulse of the eldest lady, it is not like she is pregnant in the first month, and the pregnancy date should be postponed for more than a month...... Uh, I wonder if the second lady remembers wrong......"

Pregnant after February?! In this way, Chunyue really didn't lie to her, what Yi'an was pregnant with was really not his flesh and blood......

"Ah...... I'm really embarrassed, I was annoyed by the business name, and I even remembered the pregnancy of the eldest lady wrongly...... It's just my slip of the tongue, it's really not the New Year. In this case, please continue to work hard for Dr. Li, and let the eldest lady give birth safely and smoothly. ”

Dr. Li hurriedly agreed a few words, and then retreated.

These four fetal doctors are famous doctors invited by Yi Ruhai in a nearby town, and Dr. Li is the head of the four, there will be no fake medical skills, and there will be no falsehood in what he says, I can't imagine that Yi'an is really stealing people behind Xue Chunyue's back, although it is not news, but when he personally confirms it, there will still be a lot of shock.

When he was sighing, there was a sudden noise outside, and when Ye Qinyu was about to walk out to look, he saw Xinyan pulling Ying'er in, and when he came to Ye Qinyu, he pressed Ying'er down and knelt on the ground. Ying'er seemed to be very panicked, and knelt on the ground helplessly, without saying a word.

"Xinyan, what's going on?"

The second lady said that she took advantage of the noon time to take a nap in the pavilion in the back garden, not wanting to accidentally lose her purse in the pavilion for a while. Coincidentally, when I went back to look for it, Ying'er happened to pass by the pavilion and just picked up this purse, she looked through the contents without asking the owner, no, the things that should not be seen were seen, and the things that should not be said were also said. ”

Hearing Xinyan say this, Ye Qinyu became more and more confused, "What shouldn't I see...... What should not be said...... Xinyan, you have confused me. ”

Ying'er's body trembled more and more, and finally cried out with a "wow"!

"Second lady, it's none of Ying'er's business! That...... Ying'er fell asleep very early that day, and then the county lord went to do something, Ying'er didn't know anything! ”

"Xinyan, what the hell is going on!"

"Second Mrs. Hui, guess whose earrings we got at the cottage inn on the outskirts of Changxing City?"

Hearing Xinyan mention that incident, Ye Qinyu was stunned for a while, then suddenly woke up and shouted to Ying'er, "Could it be ...... Ying'er! You tell me honestly! ”

Ying'er was already so frightened that she lost her soul, where could she still speak, Xinyan saw her appearance, so she replied directly, "Just now Ying'er took out this earring in my purse, and shouted that this is her lord's thing, and without saying a word, she beat me as a thief." Xinyan knew that the matter was big, and he didn't dare to let her continue to make a noise, so he pulled her into our courtyard. This girl was reluctant at first, but then I said that it was given by the innkeeper, and said that it was Xue Erye's thing, and she was frightened. ”

"Returning to the second lady...... The slave and the slave really don't know the details...... When he went to the suburbs that day, the county lord got lost, and later met Lord Xue...... The slave refers to the second master Xue, and when the second master saw that he was the lord of the county, he took us back to the official road...... After coming and going, I went back late, the city gate was locked, and I had to stay overnight in an inn on the outskirts of the city...... The slave went to bed really early that night! I only know that before falling asleep, the county lord and Xue Erye have been drinking......"

Ying'er's voice became smaller and smaller, and when she said that, she lost her voice, only sobbing quietly.

Unexpectedly, that person was actually Xue Peiqi...... Ye Qinyu seemed to have withstood a thunderbolt, and the whole person was stunned.

"Ying'er, have you ever told anyone about this?"

"Second lady Hui, the slave maid doesn't dare, she has never told anyone else!"

"That being the case, you should not have happened today. If these things reach Lord Xue's ears, you should know what the consequences will be. ”

"The slave knows! Slaves don't dare! ”

Ye Qinyu waved his hand, and after letting Ying Er go, he said to Xinyan, "Don't tell Chunyue in advance, whether he has a relationship with the county lord or not, but that person ...... After all, it's his own brother...... I'm afraid he'll be angry and make a mess. ”

"The heart is clear......"

After another period of time, the situation between Daye and Jianzhou became more and more tense, and it is reported that some tribes have torn up the imperial court's edict and burned the official seal of the emperor's official uniform, making it clear that they do not recognize the suzerainty of Daye. In the event of a war between the two armies, in order to prevent the enemy from obtaining the cast iron for smelting weapons, the imperial court must ban the export of cast iron across the board.

Ye Qinyu wanted to buy a large amount of cast iron while Daye had not restricted the sale of cast iron, and then use Taixiangxing's ships to transport it to Guannan Province. Wei Zhiyu knew about the trade route between Guannan Province and Nanzhao Kingdom, and transported cast iron to Nanzhao Kingdom through trade routes, and stored it in the name of Nanzhao State merchants. Once cast iron is banned, the price will inevitably skyrocket, and then it will be sold to Jinla, Silla and other countries in the name of Namzhao Guo, and it will definitely make a lot of money.

But it's not easy to implement.

Daye implemented a strict monopoly system of salt and iron, and the sale of salt and cast iron was only one way for the government. Especially cast iron, in order to prevent the people from rising, the imperial court is strictly restricting the flow into the people, if Tai Xiangxing does not want to use the method of sideways to get the supply of goods from the salt and iron division of the imperial court, he can only collect private inventory.

In order to accumulate cast iron, Taixiangxing almost exhausted the belongings accumulated during this time, and through several levels, a total of dozens of middlemen collected materials. Not only that, but also used Xue Chengren's power to develop Jingyang into a gathering place for materials, and then directly loaded into Jingyang and transported along the Yangtze River into Guannan Province.

Such a large-scale dispatch would attract the attention of the imperial court if it was not careful. The hoarded cast iron was originally a game of law. In case it is discovered, the imperial court will inevitably issue an embargo immediately, and at that time, not a single pound of cast iron can be shipped out, so it can only stay in Daye Country to depreciate. Therefore, Tai Xiangxing must be cautious, Ye Qinyu in order to protect the situation, sent the shopkeeper Yi Ruhai to Jingyang to sit in the town, and she dispatched behind the back.

With this money, Taixiangxing's shipping fleet will be able to return to the scale of Xihexing, so that those who were snatched by Xue Huijin will have the capital to snatch them back...... For him, no matter how difficult it is, he has to get through.

Recently, Ye Qinyu has been busy with the matter of casting iron, and she has no time to think about the messy things of Yi'an and Xue Peiqi. Finally arranged everything and the ship anchored, he began to worry about whether Wei Zhiyu and Ye Cizhun could transport such a large batch of cast iron out of the country unknowingly, and he couldn't eat or sleep for several days.

finally squinted for a while, but Yi'an was about to give birth......

This child was very unconscious, and his mother tossed from noon to late at night.

Ye Qinyu was a little scared, after all, she had never given birth, and she didn't know what to do, so she could only listen to the fetal doctor and the stable woman.

At night, the autumn rain gradually rose, adding a period of poignancy to the depression. Looking at the people who were busy coming in and out, Ye Qinyu forced himself to calm down.

Thinking about Yi'an, she is also a poor person, her parents died at a young age, but fortunately, she has an older brother who depends on her, but now the only brother she can rely on is gone, and she married a husband who has no feelings for her...... Thinking of this, Ye Qinyu plucked up his courage and entered the delivery room regardless of his words.

Yi'an had no strength and was dying, and even Ye Qinyu couldn't turn his head to look when he came to the bedside.

"County Lord, I hope you will hold on a little longer, I'll go and ask the doctor ......"

"Huh...... Looking at Dr. Li's posture, he should be a famous doctor in Luo'an...... He can't, it seems that God wants to cut off our mother and son......"

The tip of Ye Qinyu's nose was sour, "If you hold on for another half an hour, I'll ask Zhang Jingshi, an imperial doctor who has retired in Luo'an......"

After saying that, she turned around and left, Yi'an didn't know where she got the strength, and suddenly called out to her, "Ye Qinyu!" ”

Ye Qinyu turned around, returned to her bedside again, and looked at her in a daze.

Yi An slowly took Ye Qinyu's hand, looked at her with red eyes and said, "Ying'er's business...... I know...... If something happens to me, I must keep the child and then ...... Help me...... Bring him to his father......"
