Chapter 125: Succession
"The emperor is not in good health, and many things are handed over to the crown prince to deal with. Today's prince is a lord and faction, and he has been trying to move recently, so let's just go around the mountain."
Yang Zhengming loosely held the reins with both hands, wrapped Qin Chu in front of his chest, and let the horse walk forward.
It's September, and the golden crops in the distance haven't been harvested, swaying gently in the breeze, reflecting the green trees and grass of the mountains, and smelling the unique fragrance of the plants. It's a different kind of style.
Qin Chu was unconsciously intoxicated.
The two of them walked forward, unconsciously the sunset was sinking in the west, and the sky was shrouded in a gorgeous golden yellow by the sunset.
When the two arrived home, Qing'er had already prepared dinner. Mother Yang saw the two coming back, and immediately beckoned to the table to eat.
"When did my mother come back? Aunt Wang, what's the matter? Qin Chu washed his hands and sat down at the table, and Qing'er hurriedly served dinner and put it in front of her.
"Good thing!" Mother Yang said, glanced at her son, and then turned her head to Qin Chu and said, "How long has Yuan Niang been married, and this is it." You also know that their eldest daughter-in-law hurt her body when she gave birth to Da Nier, and now that she has this, she is happy or something. Your aunt even specially told me to thank you for being a matchmaker."
Qin Chu took a bite of rice, swallowed it, and said with a smile: "What's the reason for this, it's also Yuan Niang's struggle."
Qin Chu is really happy for Yuan Niang. Since Yuan Niang and Wang Tong got married, Yuan Niang still wanted to continue to work in the store, and Qin Chu was naturally happy.
Who knew that the Wang family said that they would not agree to anything. I only thought about holding my grandson, afraid that Yuan Niang would delay her time at work. If it weren't for Wang Tong's usual going to the barracks, the Wang family would be eager to tie the two together for twelve hours a day, even if Yuan Niang returned to her parents' house, she would only be given half a day. Staying overnight at your mother's house is never allowed.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and Yuan Niang was married for less than two months, and she became pregnant. Now the Wang family should be able to stop for a while.
"That's not what I said." Mother Yang disagreed: "Your ability, which one in the town doesn't know, look at the marriage, it's a good look."
Mother Yang paused as she spoke, and her eyes swept over Qin Chu's stomach twice: "Chu Chu, you said that your marriage was accurate, did you and Zhengming forget it at the beginning, when will my mother be able to hold her grandson?" ”
Qin Chu just put a chopstick in his mouth, and before he could swallow it to answer Yang's mother's words, Yang's mother had already put down the chopsticks and said again: "You said that it's been half a year, will there be any problems?" Do you want to ......?"
Before Yang's mother finished speaking, Yang Zhengming's brows had already twisted into Sichuan characters: "My mother has only said it for half a year, so this matter is not in a hurry."
Mother Yang glanced at her son, and said with a disapproving face: "I think most of the problem lies with you." I was busy and didn't see anyone for ten days and half a month. I think I should learn from the Wang family, why can't I do it without you in the camp?! ”
"Mother, don't blame the husband".
Qin Chu glanced at Yang Zhengming, who had not explained, and knew that he was afraid that Yang Mu would know because of his own shirk during this time. So he is protecting himself in disguise and taking everything on himself.
"I ...... Actually, I've calculated......" Qin Chu said with a little embarrassment.
"Really? Tell my mother quickly, when will my mother be able to hold her grandson? Mother Yang's eyes lit up, she didn't eat anymore, and her eyes staring at Qin Chu were blazing.
"I can't say for the grandchildren. However, next year...... I will definitely let you hug me next year."
Since Luo Hai and Xiaohe have successfully been together, the fertility value in Qin Chu's system has successfully reached ninety. She felt that the time should be about the same.
When Yang Zhengming heard her words, his eyes lit up, and his eyes looked at Qin Chu as if they were about to glow.
Qin Chu was a little uncomfortable stared at by his naked gaze, biting his chopsticks and glaring at him, signaling him to restrain himself. Who knew that Yang Zhengming actually showed a few rare white teeth to her, but these white teeth flashed with cold light, no matter how you look at it, there is a little ill-will.
Since Qin Chu had spoken at the dinner table, Yang Zhengming naturally had to carry it out conscientiously at night.
On the second day, Yang Zhengming went to the barracks refreshed, leaving Qin Chu alone drinking tea with Zhou Gong.
Mother Yang didn't mention how beautiful she was in her heart, and the corners of her mouth were raised all day long. The little couple worked so hard, and it was definitely not far from her being able to report her grandson.
Just when the husband and wife were working together to create a child, Yuan Niang encountered the biggest difficulty in her life.
Originally, she was pregnant, and her mood fluctuated, but now she heard something enough to destroy her, how could she bear it.
The Zhou family's aunts and uncles are old, and she can't stimulate them. There was no one to tell her in her heart, and after several hesitations, she still wanted to come over to find Qin Chu.
Qin Chu had just had breakfast, in fact, it was not an exaggeration to say that lunch. Rubbing his sore waist, he thought about stretching out in the yard.
In his heart, he had already scolded Yang Zhengming half to death. For a normal man with a lot of energy, abstinence for a long time can really kill someone.
Just standing in the yard, I saw Yang Mu and Qing'er cleaning up the corn stalks in the yard, many of which were already tired and piled up at the base of the wall. Just about to go over to help, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure standing at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.
"Yuan Niang, why are you here? Come on in".
A trace of unnaturalness flashed on Yuan Niang's face, she reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, shook her head and waved her hand: "No, no, I just passed by......"
Just at the door, she saw that their family was happy, and she suddenly became cowardly.
Mother Yang heard Qin Chu's voice, raised her head, and saw that it was Yuan Niang, the movements in her hands froze, and she turned her head sideways and said to Qin Chu: "Quickly invite someone in, Yuan Niang is a heavy person now, don't stand for a long time, sit in the house quickly."
Qin Chu has been with Yuan Niang for so long, and he has long known each other's every move. Since Yuan Niang got married, if Qin Chu hadn't taken the initiative to see her twice, she would rarely take the initiative to come out.
She came over rarely today, Qin Chu noticed that her eyes were a little red and swollen and flickering, and she knew in her heart, and turned around and said to Mother Yang: "Mother, the weather is good today, Yuan Niang wants me to walk around with her, I will accompany her out for a while."
Mother Yang did not doubt him, and advised: "Yuan Niang is not the same as before, but don't be tired, don't go far, just come back after walking."
"Got it". Qin Chu turned his head and responded, came out of the door sideways, and said to Yuan Niang: "I think it's inconvenient at home, why don't we go to the store and talk about it."
Since Luo Yeer and Zheng Xianger got married, the store was empty all of a sudden, and there was only Ah Cheng in the store today, so the two sisters were talking about themselves.
"Hmm......" Yuan Niang half-hung her head, answered softly, followed Qin Chu, and the two walked towards the store together.
Walking on the familiar street again, especially when she saw the familiar and unfamiliar shops, Yuan Niang had mixed feelings for a while.
At one point she thought she would stay in the shop until she was lonely. Who knew that he would meet Wang Tong later. Then they became relatives again, and then they ......
Yuan Niang lowered her head, and her palms unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
"Let's go inside". Qin Chu turned around, seeing that she was standing at the door in a daze at some point, and reminded her that she was the first to step in.
Ah Cheng saw her come in, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, he saw Yuan Niang behind him, said hello, and continued to be busy with the work at hand as if nothing happened.
Qin Chu has already expanded his business scope, and now many things in the store, such as the utensils used in weddings, need to be repaired regularly. This matter naturally fell on Ah Cheng.
Yuan Niang followed Qin Chu and sat down at the table by the window. Qin Chu noticed that after she sat down, her head was still half-hanging, her legs were together, and her hands were stiffly wringed in front of her.
Qin Chu's brows furrowed unconsciously. Yuan Niang's appearance seems to have returned to the state she was in when she first met her.
"Is there something going on at home?" Qin Chu said softly.
Yuan Niang subconsciously shook her head, looked at Qin Chu's concerned gaze, thought about it and nodded.
Qin Chu didn't urge, until half an hour later, before Yuan Niang could speak, tears had already flowed down her cheeks.
"Chu Chu...... Me, I want to go back to the store to do things......"
Qin Chu's eyebrows moved almost inaudibly: "This is your home, you can come back whenever you want."
"I ......" Yuan Niang raised her head, her voice choked up: "He...... They said, "If I give birth to a son in this womb, I will pass it on to my uncle......
"Who are they?!" Qin Chu's face sank instantly, and he looked at Yuan Niang and asked coldly.
"I ......" Yuan Niang's eyes flashed, don't turn her head, and said softly: "My sister-in-law told me, and she said that her father and mother also agreed......."
thought that since she entered the door of the Wang family, she had almost been restricted from freedom, just to conceive the child in her womb.
"You say, did their family marry me just so that I could have children?" Yuan Niang muttered.
"What did Wang Tong say?" Qin Chu was not in a hurry to draw conclusions, after all, this matter was a matter for the husband and wife, as long as the two of them were unwilling, no one could be the master.
"I haven't ...... him yet"
Qin Chu looked at her red eyes and couldn't help but hold her forehead. This stupid girl, who didn't ask her husband about such an important matter, actually began to think about it herself. I can't say that I have cried many times in private. It's just stupid.
"He's so busy every day, I ......," Yuan Niang hesitated.
"I don't think what your sister-in-law said should be the truth." Qin Chu groaned.
"How so?" Yuan Niang looked up in surprise, and she couldn't cry for a long time: "Sister-in-law, she is very good, since I got married to my father-in-law, she has always taken good care of me, why did she lie to me?" ”
This Qin Chu is unknown. However, she still patiently analyzed the matter to Yuan Niang.
"You have this belly, but Wang Tong's first child, it stands to reason that he will not agree to pass it on to others no matter what. Besides, taking a step back, it is also the grandson of the Wang family, even if it doesn't matter which room the old people are in, they will not be in a hurry at this time."
"Really?" Yuan Niang looked at Qin Chu excitedly, and then her eyes darkened again. He whispered: "But, even if it's not this time, I guess there will still be a next time, right?" ”
After all, the sister-in-law of the Wang family is no longer able to have children. And she won't give birth to just this one.
