After entering Lanyun Courtyard, Shen Changze hesitated for a moment and then walked in.
Cheng Jinchu seems to have become sensible recently, and no longer makes noises and accusations. He is too docile, which makes Shen Changze feel unsure.
He quietly walked into the house and saw Cheng Jinchu sewing new clothes for the children.
Shen Changze was touched and said warmly: "These things are done by the embroiderer. Don't tire your eyes."
Cheng Jinchu raised his head, looked at him and smiled softly: "But I want to do something for the child."
Shen Changze sat down next to Cheng Jinchu and gently touched her abdomen with his broad palm.
"It's less than three months, I can't feel it." Cheng Jinchu's hand covered his, warm and warm.
Shen Changze held her hand, took her into his arms and said, "Thank you for your hard work. When the child is born, I will take you out to play and get some fresh air."
Cheng Jinchu leaned on his chest and chuckled: "Could it be that my husband is stupid? After giving birth to the child, he has to confine himself and cannot run around."
"Then I'll go after confinement. I have to make it up to you after all." Shen Changze felt sorry for him.
After all, they slept together for six years and gave birth to children for him. Their love was so deep that it was beyond words.
"Okay, husband, you must keep your word." Cheng Jinchu hugged Shen Changze's waist and closed his eyes to feel the tenderness of this moment.
She believed that Shen Changze loved her, but his love was not only given to her, but also to others.
"Are you tired and need to rest?" Shen Changze asked, stroking her back.
Cheng Jinchu shook his head: "I slept too much during the day, so I'm not sleepy."
Finally, he seemed to understand, and Cheng Jinchu said considerately: "My husband is busy with something?"
"Well, I have to go to the study to deal with some paperwork."
"I will accompany my husband and grind ink for him."
Thinking that studying ink wouldn't tire her out, Shen Changze agreed, and the two of them went to the study together.
He concentrated on reading and writing official documents, while she studied ink quietly, and the atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful.
In the long night of silence, Cheng Jinchu held up his chin and watched Shen Changze handle official duties. Recalling the days when the two of them depended on each other for life and death at the border, he felt a little nostalgic.
But the past is the past after all, and people always have to look forward.
Time passed slowly as the candlelight flickered. Cheng Jinchu, who was pregnant, easily felt sleepy. He covered his lips with his hand and yawned slightly.
Shen Changze, who was concentrating on reading documents, heard this and turned around and said, "Go back to sleep if you feel sleepy."
As she said this, she would call Qiu Shuang to send her back.
In desperation, Cheng Jinchu stretched out his hand to cover Shen Changze's mouth and said coquettishly: "I want to stay with my husband and wait for him to rest together."
The warm touch on his lips and the soft sound in his ears made Shen Changze's heart soften. He closed the document and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you back to rest."
"But haven't you, husband, finished processing it yet?"
"It's okay, it's nothing important. We can see it tomorrow." Shen Changze helped her stand up.
Cheng Jinchu smiled happily and went back to the main room with him to rest.
Qiu Shuang saw this and her heart fell back into her stomach.
The two had a big quarrel a few days ago. Shen Changze moved out of the main house and stayed in Silan Garden for several days. Qiu Shuang thought Cheng Jinchu had fallen out of favor.
Now it seems that her worries are unnecessary, and Madam has her own means.
When the raindrops fell, Bitao went to close the window.
When Xu Lingyi woke up from a dream when she heard the sound of rain, she said to herself: "Master Hou will not come."
It doesn't matter, she also feels a little tired today, and there will be many opportunities in the future.
Thinking of Shen Changze losing control and lingering with her while taking a bath in the evening, Xu Lingyi curled her lips and smiled charmingly.
Having already captured Shen Changze's body, it was only a matter of time before he captured his heart.
The rain fell all night and didn't stop until the next day.
Jiang Shu listened to the rain on the porch and fed Bubai with carrots.
Due to sufficient food, Bu Bai has grown several times in just over a month, and is almost the same as a cat in his arms.
Ordinary wild animals are wild and reluctant to get close to people. But Bubai is completely defenseless against people, and anyone can catch him.
"Stupid and greedy, how did you survive before?" Jiang Shu lowered his head and stroked Bubai's soft and smooth fur.
Pure black hares are rare. If they fall into the hands of others, they must be skinned and eaten, and their fur used for making things.
If you meet her, you will have a long life.
Shen Changze walked into the corridor holding an umbrella, looked at Bubai on Jiang Shu's legs and said, "This rabbit is really lucky."
When ordinary people keep pets, they usually keep kittens, puppies, or birds. Very few people keep hares.
Jiang Shu smiled lightly and said, "It's a blessing. I happened to see it when I came back from Zhaojue Temple to worship Buddha that day."
If she had not gone to pay homage to the Buddha that day and had not gone with the eldest princess, King Jing would not have accumulated virtue. I'm afraid it has already entered reincarnation.
Shen Changze looked away, not caring about a rabbit.
Jiang Shu put aside his suspicion and asked, "Why is Mr. Hou free today?"
Shen Changze looked at the intermittent rain curtains like bead curtains and said seriously: "It's not suitable for military training when it rains."
Jiang Shu understood, stood up and said, "Then let's take advantage of the fact that the Marquis is free today and work together to manage the people who are suitable for managing the farm."
The two of them went upstairs under umbrellas and stayed there all morning.
There are five farms in the Hou Mansion, and each farm has a farm manager. It's just that he has been left alone for many years and is not so loyal to the Hou Mansion.
Therefore, if you want to manage the farm well, you must re-appoint loyal and trustworthy people.
"How many people do you think are feasible, Lord Marquis?" Jiang Shu analyzed them one by one.
Shen Changze thought about it for a while and said, "Very good, I will arrange this with my mother later."
Jiang Shu handed him the paper with several people's names written on it.
Shen Changze took it, folded it and put it in his sleeve.
Jiang Shu reminded: "The farm is remote and difficult, so no one will want to go. The Marquis must give both kindness and power to make them willing to go."
"Madam, can you be more specific?" Shen Changze was a little confused.
Jiang Shu said: "Guanshi Feng's wife and daughter work in the kitchen. We can promote Guanshi Feng's wife, Wang, to be a purchaser in the kitchen, and send his daughter to serve in the backyard."
Shen Changze was not stupid, he understood it as soon as he heard it.
It's just that he is not familiar with the personnel arrangements in the mansion and doesn't know where to start.
"The elderly people in the mansion are all descended from their mothers and grandmothers. The Marquis might as well ask his mother and grandmothers for their opinions." Jiang Shu gave him directions.
Shen Changze nodded, feeling that Jiang Shu was smart and measured, and he was very comfortable getting along with her.
"If the bank manager suddenly changes, the previous bank manager will definitely be dissatisfied. Has the Marquis figured out how to deal with it?" Jiang Shu asked.
Although it is the owner's right to change the bank manager, if it is not handled properly and causes resentment, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Shen Changze raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Those who obey will stay, and those who don't will be driven away."
Jiang Shu shook his head: "No."
"Although Zhuang Guan is in decline, Panji has a deep foundation for many years. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, so it must be dealt with properly."
"If tough treatment arouses resentment, they will definitely take personal revenge. All the people in the village belong to them, and it is impossible to completely replace them. By then, the new village management will definitely be unable to move forward, and the Marquis' plan will be difficult to implement."
"So troublesome?" Shen Changze frowned, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows: "Master Hou, you think running a family is a very simple matter?"
Shen Changze looked at her, speechless.
He really thought so, and he never thought it was difficult to run a house.
