The baby's loud cry brought strength and hope to Shen Qu, and also brought a new life to this poor Chen family's small courtyard.

Shen Qu's confinement sat very well, and Aunt Chen took care of her like a mother, bringing hot tea and hot meals to the bed, for fear that she would be uncomfortable.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the outside is peachy and willow green, and people's mood is also improving.

Shen did because of the previous hard work and production, the whole person was a little weak, and now Chen Da earned more silver every day, and he brought her delicious food in different ways, chicken, duck and fish meat constantly, and occasionally brought back a small ginseng for her to replenish her body.

The two of them were very busy, but Zelan was a lot more relaxed, and only needed to take care of Shen Qu's diet and tonic soup every day.

A rugged old man, who used to fight on the battlefield with guns and sticks, now serves the little doll's clothes and supplies are incredibly fine and gentle.

Every little clothes, gauze, and hat that left purple in the purple will be washed twice with the newly bought pancreas, and then boiled with boiling water and scalded again, and then taken to the yard to dry with a newly built clean rope, and turned over every half day to let the inside and outside absorb the sun.

Shen Qu looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't see that Brother Chen is so meticulous, which little lady will marry you in the future is really a good blessing." ”

Chen Da blushed and fled in embarrassment with his head down.

Aunt Chen smiled: "In the future, I will be like his father, a good father." ”

There was a knock on the door outside the yard, and Zeeland ran to open it

It's the neighbors who came to deliver things again, after a few months of rest, everyone's life is much better, although they can't get any gifts, but it is also a heart.

I don't know how many waves this is, the meat, vegetables and eggs sent over have been piled up high in the yard, Aunt Chen beckoned everyone to sit down, they were all women from each family, sitting together in the sun and eating tea, and began to tell Shen Qu left and right:

"Don't touch the cold water, even if it's warm now."

"Don't hold the child for too long, be careful to tire your waist, you won't get better for a lifetime."

"Be happy in confinement, sleep more and eat more, and have enough milk ......"

Shen Qu was happy to hear it, some of which she had always known, and some of which were local customs, which sounded warm and fresh.

"I haven't had a mother since I was a child, and now it's like I'm back to my parents' house."

Indeed, at first, I was worried that a person would be wronged if he gave birth in a foreign land, but now it is better than staying by Daddy's side.

Shen did write a letter to Shen Fu, explaining everything here clearly, he planned to return to the capital after the confinement, but the weather was not very hot, but Aunt Chen was worried that Liuzi was too young and could not withstand the fatigue of traveling on the road, so she persuaded them to stay for a few more days.

Shen was hesitating and looked at Zelan: "What do you say?" ”

Zelan said: "The slave and the maid follow the lady, and the lady and the little master are not wronged, and the slave and maid also feel relaxed, they can do it." ”

Shen Qu nodded, holding Liuzi in his arms, the little girl was soft and tender, just woke up from sleep, a little face was flushed, and she was asking her mother for milk.

Sure enough, with this child, everything is really different.

Just when she was hesitating, Chen Da came back from outside and brought a piece of earth-shattering good news.

"The news from the government came from the capital." Chen Da didn't have time to wipe his face, so he hurriedly reported the situation, "I heard that the Shuofang army was sent to completely extinguish Fengyi's bandits, and it is said that it is the most elite army, with 20,000 people. ”

"So many people?" Zelan asked, "Didn't you say that there are not many people left in Fengyi's mountain bandits, why do you need so many people?" ”

Chen Da shook his head and said no, "It is said that the imperial court has found out the true situation, the reason why Fengyi's mountain bandits are rampant is because they colluded with foreign clans, what is this called, this is called Litong foreign countries, and it is a capital crime of betrayal and murder." No wonder they are unscrupulous, it turns out that there are forces behind them. ”

Shen asked Zelan to bring tea to Chen Da and asked, "How do these imperial courts know?" ”

"I heard that these days someone has broken into the mountain bandits to be a secret agent, and the news sent out at the risk of his life is absolutely reliable."

He was born as a soldier, and his face was full of envy at the moment: "If you can have such an experience, although it is dangerous, it is also a blessing for us to be soldiers......"

Chen Da was completely immersed in being a soldier and fighting a war, and he kept talking, but Shen Zhen's thoughts were fixed on what he had just said: Someone broke into the mountain bandits to be a secret agent......

I don't know if I've thought too much, I always feel that this matter is related to Li Luansong's disappearance.

Could it be him? If it's really him, it means that he's still alive and doing something big.

Shen Qu's heart was pounding hard, no matter what, wait a little longer, the troops of the imperial court will be coming soon, and in a few days, maybe it will be almost clear to see the moon.

That night, Shen did have another dream, dreaming that Li Luansong came back, but his daughter didn't recognize him......

sent another letter to her family, and Shen Fu also supported her to stay and wait for news.

Shen Qu still sees the neighbors as usual every day, but it is not like before when she looks at it all day, now she only sees half a day in the morning, and spends the afternoon time with her daughter and teaching Chen Da business scriptures.

The army of the imperial court is rushing to Fengyi non-stop, Shen has indeed calculated, I am afraid that this battle will have to be fought for a while, at least three or four months, more than half a year, then there is still time to help Chen Da on the horse and send him off.

She is very optimistic about Chen Da, he is simple, honest, good character, and has a trustworthy aura when dealing with people and talking about business, refreshing and direct, but it gives people a very good impression.

Shen did think that if he could bring Chen Da out completely, he could transfer the Shen family's business to him, and then not only make money, but also help Fengyi develop rapidly, and then recommend some business partners to come over and develop this virgin land, and everyone can earn money together.

She told Chen Da about this thought, and Chen Da was stunned when she heard it, and she didn't understand how she could do it so big.

"Shen Niangzi, who are you? How big a business is the business of the family? ”

Shen Qu smiled: "It's bigger, you can think about it." ”

"What kind of business is that, how can I look at you, how can you know everything?" Chen Da became more and more confused.

"It's all kinds of business, it's very complicated, you have to study hard, not only do you have to learn it yourself, but you also have to find a few effective helpers one after another, and the business will inevitably need your own people in the shop, shopkeepers, guys, servants, ......"

Shen Qu counted his fingers, "Most of these people can use outsiders, but those who understand the core matters and can discuss Ding Mao with you must be trusted by their own people." ”

Chen Da nodded and scratched his head, "It's really not easy." ”

Zelan quipped on the side: "Brother Chen has to study hard, there are so many apprentices of the lady, I will teach Brother Chen the most, and I will also expect Brother Chen to be the most promising in the future." ”

In one sentence, Chen Da riveted his energy, and since that day he has been working harder and harder, making Aunt Chen boast that her son is promising: "If I used this energy to participate in the imperial examination back then, I am afraid that now I am the prime minister." ”

One sentence drew laughter from the room.

This kind of laughter has not stopped since Liuzi was born, and the atmosphere in the Chen family's small courtyard has also changed greatly.

Chen Da went out every day, washed his hands and changed his clothes when he came back, and then he went to hug Liuzi, feed her water, tease her to play, and coax her to sleep, he couldn't leave it all the time, that little Liuzi was also an elf ghost, knowing that Chen Da liked her, he also pestered him every day, as long as Chen Da was at home, he didn't want anyone else to hug him, and he stuck to Chen Da all the time.

"Brother Chen's hands are big and generous, so it's probably more comfortable to be held." Zelan smacked his mouth a little surprised, "But I'm also very comfortable to hug, this little baby, I'm her godmother." ”

Aunt Chen said with a smile: "Liuzi hurts my godmother, and I also hurt A-Niang and Grandma Chen, just let Chen Da hug it, wouldn't it be good for us to rest leisurely." ”

Everyone laughed again.

Chen Da didn't care about it on the side, holding the little doll in the palm of his hand, and his gentle and patient appearance made everyone melt.

The little doll was about to be half a year old, and Chen Da made her a lot of toys, and Shen Cheng only shook his head when he saw it: "Such a young girl, where can she play with those knives and swords, let alone a slingshot." ”

Chen Da silently looked back in embarrassment, thinking that he had indeed made a mistake, so the next day, the boys' things were gone, replaced by a string of colorful rag dolls, beautiful handkerchiefs, and many jewelry.

Looking at those dazzling things, Shen Qu exclaimed: "How old is she, how can she use such valuable jewelry." ”

When Chen Da heard this, he should have bought the right one this time, and said: "Liuzi will grow up soon, and when you leave, you will take it away, and she will remember me as a godfather." ”

Shen was sad to hear it, and Chen Da was reluctant.

So he thought about it and said: "Ming'er will teach Liuzi to speak, and learn to call godfather first." ”

Chen Dayi nodded happily when he heard this.

Since that day, Shen Qu has been teaching Liuzi every day to shout: "Auntie, godfather, grandma......"

The little doll didn't understand, she didn't open her mouth at first, her calves and arms scratched and scratched, and after teaching her a lot, the little doll began to open her mouth. Guan Shen is indeed called his mother, and Guan Zelan is also called his mother, which makes the family cry and laugh all day long, but it is also a very happy thing.

After a few more days, Liuzi finally learned to call her father, and if her godfather couldn't shout, she only called her father, vaguely at first, but later because Chen Da hugged her every day and gave her delicious food, this father was called much clearer and crisper than her mother.

The most heard voice in the Chen family's courtyard every day is Liuzi's milky voice: Dad, Dad...... shouted that Chen Da was like a cow and a horse, and his heart was full of joy.
