……

The news about the Yanmen Pass incident was hardly talked about in Xianyang, and those who knew the news from top to bottom deliberately avoided it, including the emperor.

And Chen Xu has never mentioned this matter since the last time he explored Jiang Pu's mouth, and everything in the court is as calm as before.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the library construction site is becoming more and more lively, because under the construction of tens of thousands of people's convicts and craftsmen, a huge architectural pattern of Bagua Taiji Diagram covering an area of nearly 700 acres has slowly appeared in front of everyone.

The central 300 acres is the Taiji map, with the library and the auditorium as the array, suppressing the luck and feng shui here, and the surrounding gossip has been built into buildings such as mountains, rivers, rivers and buildings, but all the buildings are still foundation pits.

There is nothing to do in the winter of Xianyang, so many people every day in addition to the fire at home to warm up and play mahjong day mother-in-law, one of the favorite things is to hold hands or carry the stove to the construction site to see the lively, often in the wind and sunshine, the entire library construction site around tens of thousands of people, the most of them are hundreds of disciples, in addition to watching the lively, as usual is to quarrel with each other for the ranking of hundreds of celebrity statues.

Chen Xu will also take a car or ride a horse to the construction site every once in a while to see, after all, the transmission of documents is slow in winter, and there is no major event in the court, and it is idle to beat children on rainy days, and it is also idle to be idle, not to mention that this is still a great project that opens the world, once it is repaired, it is destined to become a grand event in the Chinese cultural circles, and it will greatly condense the goodwill and support of hundreds of disciples to Daqin.

In addition to the construction of the library, the most interesting to the hundred celebrities voting and election activities are still continuing, every day there are a lot of votes sent to the newspaper through the post guard, and with the spread of the newspaper, the people around the library donations are still not afraid, through the statistics of Huaxia Qianzhuang, the total amount of donations has exceeded eight million money, and the final total scale of more than 10 million should not be a big problem.

Therefore, as the construction party of the project, Hu Kuan and other craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences are also willing to spend money, in order to complete the earthwork before the beginning of spring, all the people and convicts who participated in the construction are full of food, and they can also eat a meal of broth and steaming steamed buns every three or five days, and the hard-working people are accountable for their work, and when the time comes, the people will be rewarded according to the amount of work, and the criminal department will also reduce the sentences of the prisoners according to the amount of work, and the household department will also abolish slavery for the workers and slaves according to the amount of work. These different measures have greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of all participants, and the construction site has not stopped in the wind and snow, so the changes in the construction site are also different every day, and the basic patterns such as lakes, rivers, hills, and venues are all slowly revealed.

Every day when Chen Xu comes back from a business trip, a group of wives will take their two daughters to the gate of Qinghe Villa to greet him.

Chen Xi is almost four years old, very quiet and independent under the gentle teaching of Shui, reading and writing every day, practicing swords, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are all studying seriously, and the common development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor makes Chen Xu extremely embarrassed, as if he was four years old...... Well, I'm still playing with urine and mud, running around behind the butts of a few older children in the village all day long, fishing, touching shrimp and digging birds' nests, and I can't recognize a basket of big words, as for singing and dancing, that's what the beautiful young lady in TV does, and I can only watch cartoons to show respect.

But that's what makes me have all sorts of childhood memories worth recalling, such as the scooter and the cow on my face......

A group of women were wearing exquisite fur and capes of various mink snow foxes except for the boiling water, with fluffy hats, Fan Caiying was holding her daughter Qiuyue, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan were both holding big bellies, and several maids were carefully supporting.

A group of women Yingying Yanyan saluted, Chen Xu hurriedly held Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan and said angrily: "Didn't you say it, if it's inconvenient to walk, you don't have to come out to greet you, the weather is so cold, hurry back to the house to warm up!" ”

"Husband, we are not cold at all, we are all roasting a day's fire at home, Sister Shui also accompanied us to play mahjong for an hour, and I look forward to my husband's return every day, so that we can go out to breathe, otherwise the housekeeper will not let it out, it will be stuffy!" Meng Wan said coquettishly.

"What if you don't let you go out? After a while, the housekeeper came and I criticized him! Chen Xuyi finished speaking and then said softly, "But you and Shiyan are about to give birth, don't walk around, at most take a walk near the courtyard, don't leave too far, you can go to the greenhouse to see the fruits, vegetables and flowers and plants, it is good for the mood and the fetus, remember to let the maid accompany the maid to read more poetry and sing songs, play less mahjong, sitting too long is not good for the body, and there is more mahjong, when the time comes, a little girl will be born, the opening is five tubes and eighty thousand, and there will be no way to live in the future, but ...... Well, it's good, and the name will be five cylinders and eighty thousand......"

"Don't say it, husband, oops~ I have a stomachache when I laugh!"

Meng Wanxiao's legs and feet were weak and she was about to squat down, but a group of frightened maids hurriedly supported her.

"Five cylinders and eighty thousand...... I don't want to ......" Ying Shiyan also laughed and couldn't help herself, and she lay on Chen Xu and had no strength to speak at all.

"Hee-hee~" The water is soft, Fan Caiying and a group of maids are also smiling, their delicate bodies trembling, and the flowers and branches are shaking, covering their mouths and looking at Chen Xu, their eyes are full of strange joy.

Since Xing'er left, the Hou Mansion has been a lot quieter, and a group of women are now much more mature for women and mothers, on weekdays, Chen Xu goes to the court on a business or goes out to do errands, a group of women stay at home to do something they like, of course, they will also get together to read books and play chess, knit sweaters and play mahjong, life is stable and plain, and there is no longer those lively and enthusiastic chases when they were girls, every day as Meng Wan said, from the morning when Chen Xu went out, they will look forward to Chen Xu's return all day, because only after Chen Xu goes home, the entire Hou Mansion will resound with all kinds of laughter.

Because his own Hou Ye is a genius, and he is also a tease.

A casual word will tease the whole family and smile, and all the tranquility and depression will be swept away.

Therefore, every day, no matter how late it is, a group of women will let the maids keep watch at the door, and they can hear the sound of Chen Xu's carriage coming back from more than a mile, and then go to the door together to greet them.

When Chen Xu returned, the Hou Mansion instantly laughed and jubilated, and several fast-talking maids were quickly spread by Chen Xu's words, and the housekeepers and servants of the Hou Mansion and their subordinates soon began to discuss the little masters born to the second lady and the third lady, which one is called Wuguan and which one is called eighty thousand.

"Why didn't you see Yu Ji?"

Returning to the back hall and appeasing the two wives who were laughing and almost losing their strength, Chen Xu washed up and changed into his regular clothes and came out to chat and talk with a few wives, and at the same time hugged Chen Qiuyue and teased, and found that there was no Yu Ji in the house.

"Brother Xiaoxu!" Almost at the same time as Chen Xu asked, Yu Ji ran in from outside.

Snow-white snow fox velvet short mattress, light blue long skirt, suede boots, a bright red jade pendant hanging from the waist, hair combed neatly, tied with small bangs, fair and delicate little face with incomparable joy, like an elf girl from a classical fairy tale.

Yu Ji happily rushed to Chen Xu's side, grabbed Chen Xu's arm and shook it excitedly and said, "Brother Xiao Xu, come with me to see, the peonies and peonies I planted have bloomed!" ”

"Okay, don't shake it, I'll go with you!" Chen Xu hurriedly handed his daughter to Fan Caiying, and left with a wry smile on his face.

Watching two people, one big and one young, walk out of the living room, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little weird, especially the water was soft, and there was infinite helplessness and confusion in a pair of beautiful eyes.

Since Xing'er left, Yu Ji seems to be a different person, although she is only twelve years old, she seems to have grown up a lot no matter how she dresses or behaves and speaks, she dresses herself up neatly every day, and she will also learn the words and deeds of Shui Qingrou and others, and she likes to be with Chen Xu even more, although she still looks like an innocent girl, but everyone can see that her attachment to Chen Xu is getting deeper and deeper, and she is very quiet at home on weekdays, is either hiding in the room to read and write, or taking care of the flowers and plants planted by her and Xing'er and others in the greenhouse, but as long as Chen Xu comes back every day, she will inevitably appear soon, and her mood will become very cheerful.

Shui Qingrou and Meng Wan Ying Shiyan and others are not too old, they have all had their own girlhood time, Shui Qingrou is more special, when they were more than ten years old, they basically stayed on Lushan Mountain and lived with Chi Songzi and a group of senior brothers, and the cultivation of true qi is not obvious to this kind of children's thoughts, but Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan are different, they have all experienced acquaintances and interactions with Chen Xu, and they still remember the things that were infatuated with Chen Xu at the beginning, especially Ying Shiyan, who was almost not saved from lovesickness.

And right now, the little girl who has been watching grow up to be playful and noisy all day long has suddenly found that she has grown up and has become a beautiful girl who has begun to rob her husband with them.

Therefore, for Yu Ji, not only Chen Xu was helpless and entangled, but Shui Qingrou and Meng Wan and others were also entangled.

In two or three years, Yu Ji will also be about to reach the age of marriage, and if this matter cannot be handled as soon as possible, they will have one more sister of the younger generation.

Although men like young and beautiful girls, and they have no opinion on their husbands marrying a few more concubines, this awkward relationship still makes several women not know how to face it.

"Husband, I'm afraid that my plan will fall through!" The water sighed softly.

"Last time, my husband also said that I would return Yu Ji to Brother Yu, but because of a lot of things happened one after another, I arranged for someone to go to Langya to inquire, and I didn't get the whereabouts of Brother Yu and Sister Zijin, it is estimated that they are still overseas in Yingzhou, so this matter has dragged on, and I am afraid that my husband will be reluctant to let her go for a few more years!" Ying Shiyan held her chin with both hands and opened her mouth on the coffee table.

"It's all because Big Brother Yu talked nonsense!" Meng Wan pursed her lips and complained.

"The three ladies don't want to be sad about this matter, the husband is not an ordinary person, naturally he will not care about these ordinary etiquette, even if he accepts Yu Ji, he will not weaken his love for us, and Yu Ji is beautiful and intelligent, are you willing to push her into the arms of others and not give it to your husband?" Fan Caiying whispered beside her.

Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan glanced at each other, and their emotions slowly relaxed.

"What Sister Caiying said is, I'm afraid that even if the husband agrees to send it away, I'm afraid that we ourselves will be reluctant, the husband once said that we will no longer take concubines in the future, but a few of us have been pregnant and have children and can't sleep, and we will slowly become old and yellow, but the husband is a strange man of the first rank in the world, and his status is not inferior to that of the former princes and monarchs, not to mention that he has hundreds of thousands of concubines like kings, but he still has to be like other princes and ministers in groups of wives and concubines, otherwise the people of the Hou Mansion will not be able to prosper if they are cold, and we are sinners, and ...... And I'm worried that this time it's another daughter......" Ying Shiyan gently touched her lower abdomen, her face full of worry.

"I'm worried about being a daughter, too!" Meng Wan also lowered her head and whispered.

The room was instantly silent, and a group of maids bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

Shui gently bit her lip gently, and her beautiful eyes revealed a touch of sadness and unease.
