Zhou Zheng's father and son each confessed, so they naturally felt a lot more comfortable and discussed some more in-depth topics.

Including Zhou Zheng's future plans, especially when he will re-enter the office, as well as Denglai and other places, Zhou Zheng's subordinates, the placement of generals, recent plans, and so on.

The father and son were talking in the study, and Fauber stood in the doorway, looking at the room with a surprised expression, and in his memory, this was the longest time that the father and son had talked.

It wasn't until the evening that Zhou Zheng came out of Zhou Qingli's study.

Fu Bo hammered his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Second Young Master, how much do you understand my old arms and ......legs?"

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "Next time, let Liuzhi come to this kind of thing." ”

Fu Bo also smiled, and then said: "By the way, Second Young Master, I heard that Liuzhi's daughter-in-law is also pregnant, do you know?" ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't say anything about the six ruts on the road......"

Fu Bo said: "I guess I'm afraid that the second young master will spend money." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I'll ask him later, if Biqing is pregnant, take her back to the house, after all, they are all familiar people, so it's convenient to take care of them." ”

Fauber smiled: "I think so too, but after this kid got married, he became more and more thoughtful, and he no longer took my old thing seriously." ”

Zhou Zheng listened to Fu Bo's teasing, said a few words, and turned back to his room.

Seeing that Shangguan Qing was still sleeping, he covered her with a quilt, Zhou Zheng thought about it, and went to his sister-in-law Zhou Ding again to ask for details such as raising a fetus.

At night, Shangguan Qing finally woke up.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly pressed her on the bed, still holding a bowl of fish soup in his hand, and said, "Lie down and lie down, I boiled the fish soup with my own hands, come and taste it." ”

Shangguan Qing looked at Zhou Zheng, blinked, indifferent to the spoon on the side of his mouth, and said softly, "What happened?" ”

Zhou Zheng put the spoon in her mouth and said, "What else can I do when I'm back, I asked my sister-in-law for advice, you drink fish soup at this time, bone broth and the like are the best, how does it taste?" ”

Although Shangguan Qing and Zhou Zheng have been married for a year, they have been together for six or seven years, watching the straight man suddenly become gentle, with fish soup in his mouth, he still looked at Zhou Zheng with suspicion.

Zhou Zheng didn't care about this, he fed it carefully, and kept saying in his mouth: "I just asked for a few names at my father's place, both men and women, I put it in the study, and I'll take it out for you to see later, you choose one." ”

Shangguan Qing didn't speak yet, and was gagged by Zhou Zheng's spoon again.

Zhou Zheng continued: "After the child is born, you don't want to go out to lead the troops anymore, take care of the child, and of course I will accompany you." The two of us are useless, but no matter how hard we are, we can't be bitter children, I have thought of a lot of teachers for him, and being both civil and military is the real talent, Yang Minggong You know, at least you have to be like that......"

Shangguan Qing listened to Zhou Zheng's rare words, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled, and then drank the fish soup spoonful by spoonful.

When Zhou Zheng was busy in the mansion, the news that he was released also spread everywhere.

From Cheng Economy, Shangguanxun and others of the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, to Wei Xizhuang, Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Cunren and Jin Guoqi of Dengzhou, Huang Long of Dongjiang Town, He Kegang and others are all relieved.

Zhou Zheng is not only their boss, but also a backer to a certain extent, if Zhou Zheng is really questioned, they will never be better. Now Zhou Zheng not only released it, but also distributed all the rewards to their soldiers, which completely reassured them.

Zhou Zheng through the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, especially a lot of silver, quietly settled many people and things, and minimized the impact of his arrest and dismissal.

The Zhou Mansion closed the door, and everything was transmitted through Liu Liuzhe, and Zhou Zheng and Zhou Qingli did not see anyone.

Naturally, there are many people in front of Zhou's house, Zhou is in trouble, and the traffic in the past is already yesterday's yellow flower.

In December, the Zhou family was a little nervous.

Shangguan Qing's due date is in December, and everyone seems to be careful, much more cautious than Zhou Zheng's sister-in-law Zhou Ding when she gave birth.

Zhou Ding's family was busy, and the midwife entered Zhou Zheng's room and drove Zhou Zheng out.

Sitting in the pavilion in front of the house, Zhou Zheng and Liu Liuzhen were playing chess and talking about some things.

Liu Liuzhen saw that Zhou Zheng was a little absent-minded, looked into the room from time to time, and said with a smile: "Second young master, the words of the midwife may not be accurate, not necessarily today." ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "I have a hunch, it's today." ”

Seeing Zhou Zheng's rare nervousness, Liu Liuzhen thought for a while and said, "Second Young Master, Wei Gongzi heard that there was a lot of movement overseas, and the Japanese were very nervous, I heard that there was a big pirate who got more than a hundred ships to hunt Wei Gongzi. ”

Zhou Zheng's attention was really diverted, and he said, "Is Old Wei okay?" ”

Liu Liuzhen said: "It must be fine, otherwise I would have told the second young master a long time ago." The specifics are not clear, Tianjin Wei's letter is vague, as if Wei Gongzi is very angry and ready to fight back. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said thoughtfully: "Send a letter to the Dengzhou Sailor and ask them to assist." ”

Most of the Dengzhou Naval Division was originally abolished, and it was rebuilt with the support of Zhou Zheng's money and grain, and belonged to the Lushun General Army and the Dengzhou General Army, that is, Huanglong and Jin Guoqi.

If Zhou Zheng went to the letter, the two would naturally not ignore it.

Liu Liuzhen hurriedly responded, and said: "This year's sea trade has doubled compared with last year, and there are more than 200 Xiyi ships in Tianjin, and the net profit is more than one million taels of silver......

Zhou Zheng said without thinking about it this time: "I have also made arrangements on the Dengzhou side, if there is danger, I can send the goods to the Dengzhou side, and let Xiyi's ship pick up in Dengzhou, which is relatively safe." ”

Liu Liuzhen responded, and saw that Zhou Zheng still had some thoughts, so he had to say: "Second young master, otherwise, let's go out for a walk, you haven't been out much when you came back this time......

Zhou Zheng still had this thought, looked at the closed door, exhaled lightly, suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said, "Tell me honestly, is Biqing pregnant?" ”

Liu Liuzhen spared his head and said, "Biqing said, I'm afraid of troublesome the second young master, so I won't let me say it." ”

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "You dare to hide it from me now." ”

Liu Liuzhen hurriedly said: "It's not the second young master, I'm also afraid of causing trouble to the second young master, we are subordinates, we can't ......"

Zhou Zhengyi waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and take Biqing over, and go back after the confinement, that's it." ”

As soon as Zhou Zheng's words fell, Shangguan Qing suddenly screamed in the room.

Zhou Zheng suddenly became nervous, stood up suddenly, and rushed directly to the door.

Before he could go in, the midwife pushed him out and said, "Second young master, you can't go in, just wait outside." ”

Zhou Zheng listened to Shangguan Qing's suppressed pain, opened his head inside, and wanted to squeeze in, but this midwife had already experience and quickly closed the door.

Liu Liuzhen and others hurriedly pulled Zhou Zheng, persuaded him, and pulled Zhou Zheng to the bottom of the steps.

After a while, Zhou Qingli, Zhou Dingshi and others came.
