The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and for a few days, Chen Yuan is enjoying the blessings of Qi people. Geng Cairuo was bold and active, Chen Yuan tasted something he had never tasted before, and the taste was not enough for outsiders.

Of course, because of Zhu Zhanji's words, Geng Cairuo failed to organize the wedding, in the house, she was nominally a maid, but in fact, the house regarded her as the second wife.

The Spring Festival is short, and while Chen Yuan is happy, he also has to take on the responsibility of being the head of the family.

In two months, we will set off to move the capital, and there are still dozens of acres of land to be disposed of in Nanjing, and when we reach Shuntian, we will also have to settle our belongings.

At the beginning of night, outside the gate of Chen's mansion, lanterns were hung. In the east courtyard of the house, the lights in each room were also lit up, and it was lively. There are also a few children frolicking, these are the two children of Chen Yuanfang's uncle's family, the eldest is eight years old, and the younger is six years old.

Fan Niangzi saw that Dong Mingyan's stomach was not big, and under the mother's house, she intended to give Chen Yuan a happy child. In the study, Chen Yuan naturally strongly objected, and muttered: "Mother, what do you want?" I'm only 20 years old, what's the hurry? ”

"Don't worry, the second baby in the same village as you, the children are going to private school, you are the only seedling of the Chen family, and you are not worried, there has been no movement for two years of marriage, the old lady Buddha also worshipped, and built a few bridges for your descendants, but there is no movement, you want to die in a hurry."

At this time, Chen Yuan naturally didn't know that Tang Sai'er was pregnant, and he and Dong Mingyan were not together much, and many times he couldn't bear to let her have a child at seventeen or eighteen, so he deliberately didn't give birth.

Fan Niangzi didn't know what her son was thinking, so she kept urging. He read Chen Yuan's left ear as deaf, and then to his right ear.

Chen Yuan said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know, within two years, let my mother hold her grandson." ”

"Really?"

"Really."

"You've got to talk." Fan Niangzi felt that she was also annoyed, and said to herself, "I heard Aunt Liu say that there is a Jianghu Langzhong who is very good at this business, and if it doesn't work, go to him one day to get two pairs of medicines to make up for it." ”

Chen Yuan vomited blood when he heard this, and at this time, Dong Mingyan came in. Fan Niangzi said a few words, and then went out to get busy.

Dong Mingyan poured tea and put it beside Chen Yuan: "Xianggong, my mother is here again-"

Chen Yuanzheng was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he smiled and said, "It's okay, old man, I always think about my children and grandchildren." ”

"Xianggong, I know you love me, but, but, I can't add a son and a half daughter to the Chen family, if this continues, what will others think of me." She also had a careful thought in her heart, now that Geng Cairuo is here, she has no children, the status of this genuine lady will always be affected, and she is afraid that Geng Cairuo will take the lead.

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, you are eighteen this year, do you want to have children, Xianggong will work overtime tonight, see how you perform." ”

Dong Mingyan blushed instantly, her body was light and soft, and she held her slender waist with a hand, and said angrily: "Xianggong, this is in the study, and I am not afraid of outsiders hearing about it." ”

Chen Yuanshaobao said in a loud voice: "Who hears it, who dares to hear it?" ”

"Hula" was like the sound of something falling to the ground, and the voice of spring flowers came from afar, "I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything." ”

Dong Mingyan was even more ashamed, coquettish, and slapped Xianggong a few times: "It's all your fault." ”

Embarrassing, this little girl, when has she been everywhere, but Chen Yuan's face is already thicker than the city wall, and he said: "Madam, I have read our family's account books, and I have worked hard for you these days." ”

Speaking of business and alleviating the embarrassment, Dong Mingyan said: "Xianggong, now it's the day of the autumn harvest again, there is more rain this year, the harvest is not very good, the tenants ask someone to intercede, saying that this year's rent can be reduced or reduced, my mother said that it is not easy for tenants, I want to reduce some of it, and I want to get an idea." ”

Chen Yuan also knows this situation that there is more rain this year, but his is the field given by Zhu Di, the soil is fertile, the irrigation is in place, and the yield will not be reduced a lot, this is what some tenants see that Chen Yuan's family is easy to talk to, and deliberately pretend to be pitiful, Chen Yuan said: "Compared with other aristocratic landlords, our rent is almost the least, twenty taxes one, and other taxes have not been increased normally, and they cannot be reduced, otherwise, it will affect the state system, and other nobles will target us." Ours is all official land, the harvest will not be low, send someone to verify, if it is really a big reduction, it can be appropriately reduced, if it is ordinary, then the tax is the same. "I have dozens of family members, and the expenses are very high. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's Yulu was notoriously low, and it was better than nothing, and their expenses were basically the share of renting and Dong Mingchang's medicinal material business.

Dong Mingyan nodded: "Well, just listen to Xianggong!" She stroked the hair around her ears, "Xianggong, you have read the account book, how is this gentleman's bookkeeping?" My father, my mother, and my eldest brother all went to Suncheon, and I was not familiar with the account book, so I was afraid that I would be coaxed. ”

She said carefully: "This person's name is Su Wenkui, he is a talented man, and he is forty years old. I heard that I was honest and honest, so I only tried it for two months! ”

Chen Yuan graduated from university and has some understanding of accounting, this account book is meticulous, the words are very neat and upright, the words are like his person, presumably this person is still relatively reliable. Now that the family business is big, there is a real need for a bookkeeper to collect rent and calculate the family's income and expenditure.

Chen Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "It's not bad, there are more family businesses, and he really needs a bookkeeper, if he is willing, he will stay in the house, the treatment or something, you look at it." ”

Seeing that the minister agreed, Dong Mingyan said happily: "Well, we can't afford to pay for the monthly case of the account room, and if it is low, we will lose the face of the eunuch's family, and I will take care of it when I go back." ”

Chen Yuan rubbed his temples with a headache, and it was really hard to deal with the family affairs for two days, but fortunately, the house in Nanjing did not have to be sold: "Mr. Bookkeeper must be trustworthy, we have to go to Shuntian, the family property cannot be moved, and we have to take more teaching tests." By the way, I sent a letter to my eldest brother before, asking him to help find a place to live, how is it going? ”

Dong Mingyan said: "Xianggong, if you don't say it, I almost forgot, King Zhao sent someone to say that he had prepared a house for us in Shuntian, and when Xianggong was in Shandong, I made my own decision and asked my brother to postpone the matter of finding a house first." ”

King Zhao is interesting enough, Chen Yuan was a little moved, he was a little far away from King Zhao recently. He sighed, but it was a pity that King Zhao was indeed not the emperor's material, otherwise, he really wanted to help him. If it's possible, let's keep him free for the rest of my life.

"Since King Zhao is kind, don't trouble the eldest brother anymore. Everyone thinks that I am King Zhao's person, and I can't do it if I don't take it. ”

Dong Mingyan said worriedly: "Xianggong, but many people like the crown prince and grandson, you are by King Zhao's side, in the future, will we-"

"It's okay, I have my own measure against you. Okay, didn't you say you wanted a baby? Tonight, Xianggong, haha-"

"Ah, Xianggong, this is still in the study, ah, you are necrotic-"
