After talking for an hour, the old man and young master of the Shen family couldn't talk about anything. Thinking that Shen Xiaoqing was pregnant, Shen Yu asked Ye Fei to take Shen Xiaoqing back first.

On the way back to Taoyuan, Ye Fei carefully supported Shen Xiaoqing, not daring to slack off.

"Xianggong, tell me the truth, did you already know that the official family was going to do this?" Shen Xiaoqing asked.

Ye Fei nodded, "As early as more than a month ago, Xiao Yihe mentioned this matter to me in a secret letter. ”

"He would tell you such an important matter, and it seems that he has great trust in the prime minister. Shen Xiaoqing sighed.

Ye Fei frowned slightly, and sighed: "He is also suspicious of this, so he asked me." ”

"What are his concerns?"

"The official's innovation has touched so deeply that the consequences are unimaginable, and Xiao Yihe has no bottom in his heart, so he asked me in the letter for my views on these new policies. Ye Fei replied.

"Listening to Xianggong's words back to his father just now, it seems that he agrees with the official family's approach?" Shen Xiaoqing asked in a low voice.

"It is true that there is no objection, in the past few years, floods and locust plagues have been rampant, and the people have no harvest, and they have to pay taxes to the imperial government for their own fields, and they have no grain to repay if they rent their fields; and those who grow grain for the old men have no soup to drink, and they have nothing to eat. ”

"If this continues, there will be more refugees, and the country of Yunguo will be in chaos. The officials made everyone get the land, and the land could not be transferred, and the land was divided into five classes to collect the land tax. With their own fields, not to mention the lack of land endowments, and if the harvest is insufficient, it can be replaced by forced labor, so the people are willing to stay and manage the land for planting, and actively participate in water conservancy and other forced labor. ”

After listening to Ye Fei's words, Shen Xiaoqing nodded, "It's good to hear Xianggong say this." ”

"It's good for the people, but it's bad for famous families like the royal family, the rich businessmen, and us. You didn't see the angry appearance of the father-in-law just now, if the official family appeared in front of him, he would probably be eager to stab the official family with a sword. Ye Fei said.

"Don't talk nonsense, no matter how much my father loves money, he won't dare to bully the king. Shen Xiaoqing couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Fei sighed briefly, "This is also what Xiao Yi is worried about. The so-called cutting off people's financial means is tantamount to killing their parents. If the official family does this, it will inevitably encounter a lot of resistance, and I am afraid that some people will be forced to rebel. ”

"What's more, the official family has also dismissed many idle official posts and official positions, canceled the inheritance of titles, cut off the financial route and the official road, and broke people's two legs. ”

"But if the official family doesn't do this, the people will also rebel, and they can only think in the long run," Ye Fei immediately added, "It's just that the official family seems to have forgotten that he is also a member of the royal family." ”

Hearing Ye Fei's words, Shen Xiaoqing shook his head, "Xianggong, hearing you say this, I feel that the world is about to be chaotic." ”

"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded, "The world is destined to be chaotic, but the official family has advanced this matter, and it depends on whether the official family can turn the tide." ”

"What does the prime minister think the official family has a chance of winning?"

Ye Fei was noncommittal, but looked up at the sky, and then said: "The official family should have attracted the applause of scholars and scholars from all over the world, but he wanted to set up a wide range of schools and open women's schools, and also allowed women to be officials, which offended scholars and scholars. ”

"Why is this? Isn't it good to set up a wide school? Why can't a woman be an official?" Shen Xiaoqing said indignantly.

"Lady, don't be angry with me, of course I think it's good, but they don't. Ye Fei smiled helplessly, "It is said that everything is inferior, only the reading is high, the reader is arrogant, and he has always felt superior, if everyone in the world can read and write, it will not be able to reflect their difference from ordinary people; as for women, they look down on them even more." ”

Shen Xiaoqing snorted unhappily and scolded: "There are few good things for scholars. ”

"Reading is not a bad thing, but now the world is full of bad people reading books, so it seems that there are few things for readers. Ye Fei retorted, and then sighed lightly, "It's a pity that this Zhou Cheng, if he was born in a prosperous era with smooth weather and no external troubles, he might become the emperor of the century." ”

......

Two months later.

The autumn coat is thick.

On the night of the full moon, Shen Xiaoqing, who was ten months pregnant, was finally about to give birth.

Inside the peach orchard.

Mrs. Xie went in to accompany Shen Xiaoqing, while Shen Yu wandered in the courtyard anxiously. He was about to become a grandfather, and he was much more excited than when he was about to become a grandfather.

Everyone in the Shen Mansion knows that he loves this daughter more than his two sons.

In addition to him, there were also Shen Xiaoqing's brothers and sisters-in-law standing in the courtyard, and even Shen Zhuo, the master of the third room, also came with his wife and children, all waiting anxiously.

Whenever a person came out of it, a group of people would gather around to ask about the things inside, or whenever they heard Shen Xiaoqing's screams of pain, a group of people frowned at the same time.

As Shen Xiaoqing's husband and the father of the child, Ye Fei was sitting alone in the pavilion at this time.

Although he looked calm, he was very frightened. Especially whenever he heard Shen Xiaoqing's tearing scream, his heart felt like it had been cut by a knife.

He was afraid that Shen Xiaoqing would be like Qin Shuyue.

After another hour, Shen Yudu's feet were numb, and he sat on the steps, and Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiaohua also went to the pavilion to accompany Ye Fei.

The lady of the third room wanted to say a few words to Ye Fei, but seeing Ye Fei's trembling hand when he poured tea for them, she realized that Ye Fei was more nervous and worried than any of them. When she thought of Qin Shuyue again, the eyes of the third lady looking at Ye Fei were full of distress.

"Uncle, don't worry, it will be born soon. ”

Ye Fei agreed, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Because Shen Xiaoqing's screams had become hoarse at this moment, he could feel her powerlessness, pain and struggle at this moment.

Finally, Shen Xiaoqing's screams stopped for a long time.

When he heard a crisp cry of "wow", Ye Fei got up suddenly, and instantly arrived at the door of the house.

At this time, Shen Yu, who was sitting on the steps, also got up and faced the door of the room.

Then the door finally opened, and the two midwives came out with a smile, "Congratulations to Master Shen and Aunt, Mrs. Shen gave birth to a daughter, and the mother and daughter are safe." ”

Hearing this, Ye Fei looked up to the sky and breathed a long sigh of relief, his joy was overflowing, and his eyes were blurred.

"Hello girl, good girl!" Shen Yu said with a smile, and then took out the red envelope prepared in advance from his arms and sent it to the two midwives.

Not long after, Mrs. Xie stood behind the midwife with the child in her arms, accompanied by Shangguan Jing, "Master, Ye Fei, take a look at the girl born to Qing'er." ”

Ye Fei immediately stepped forward, and after only glancing at the newborn child, he went to find Shen Xiaoqing.
