Bell Mansion, on the corridor.
"Daddy~"
A little boy with a red face and round clothes opened his arms and hobbled over.
"Why don't you stay in the house? Don't catch a cold after giving birth."
Zhong Yan said to his wife, who was following him, while squatting down, waiting for his son to jump into his arms, hugging him, getting up and raising his head above his head, causing a burst of laughter.
How long has it been? The confinement period is over early... Jiang Ping felt resentful. No wonder her husband didn't come to see her. It turned out that she always remembered that she had just given birth. It seemed that she had to remind Xiao Huan, huh!
With a happy smile on her face, she stepped forward and straightened the brim of her son's tiger-head hat, and said with a smile, "Husband, Ping'er will give you a few more babies."
She could see that her husband particularly liked children.
Even though I am busy practicing every day, I never forget to take time to spend with a group of children.
Now Xia He found out she was pregnant again.
Although she didn't want to fight for anything, she sat in the position of mistress and didn't want to be compared too much with her other sisters.
Among the many wives and concubines in the Zhong Mansion, in terms of beauty, Yan Sandao, Tang Xiaoshu, and Qiuxiang are all better than her, and the others are not bad either.
In terms of force, Yan Sandao and Tang Xiaoshu were far behind her, and even Chun Yu, who later learned martial arts, had the tendency to catch up from behind;
In terms of knowledge and wisdom, Dong Cao and Tang Xiaoshu are far superior to her;
Xia He's character is naturally lively and quirky, and she is the best at pleasing her husband.
She was just lucky enough to marry into the Zhong Mansion first. She dared not say anything else, but she was confident that she could bear the hardship of having more children.
Zhong Yan used a free hand to rub the corner of his wife's eyebrows, "It's already hard enough for you to have two children. Let them have several more children, and you have to take the trouble to help me manage this family."
Giving birth is indeed a very hard and dangerous thing. You must be careful during the tenth month of pregnancy, and you will have to walk through the gate of hell when you are pregnant.
After saying this, Jiang Ping's secretly competing thoughts immediately turned into emotion. She pressed her face against her husband's generous palm, raised her head and said affectionately: "Well, don't worry, husband. Ping'er will go to get more scriptures, study hard, and I will take good care of her." No distractions at home.”
Zhong Yan smiled and patted his pretty face, but felt a little confused in his heart.
As his first woman, Jiang Ping was the first wife he married in a serious manner, so she had unusual feelings, and she paid more attention to her and treated her favorably.
As for Jiang Ping, because of his intentional or unintentional arrangements, she gained the unique dignity of a woman and had an unshakable status as the hostess in the house.
The two of them treated each other with respect and affection.
Zhong Yan was sure that her feelings for him were impeccable, but the system did not bind her like it did to Yan Sandao.
Zhong Yan thought about the so-called 'beyond the ordinary limits' for a long time, but he still didn't understand the measurement standard.
In comparison, some possible influencing factors were found.
For example, in terms of personality, Jiang Ping is gentle, sometimes sentimental, and thinks about many things; while Yan Sandao is more open-minded, and will move forward bravely when he decides on something.
Another example is that when Jiang Ping has children, even if her feelings for him continue to grow, she will shift her thoughts to them.
For the system panel, we can only study and summarize it slowly.
"Uncle! Aunt!"
Li Shangwen came running in the snow.
As soon as he got closer, he reached out and pinched Zhong Qixing's fat face, "Come on, Brother Xing, let Brother Wen give him a hug!"
The cold hands made the little guy look disgusted, and he screamed and put his hands around Zhong Yan's neck.
Zhong Yanxiao asked, "I'm not helping your elder brother with the accounts at home. What's wrong with coming over?"
The end of the year is the busiest time, with various business accounts settled and many preparations for the coming year.
Zhongfu Dongcao, Qiuxiang and the maid were so busy all day that no one was seen.
Li Shangwen smiled and said: "Uncle, my eldest brother is getting married on the eighth day of the new year. I would like to ask you to be the officiant. My aunt and brother will come to the house tomorrow to talk about it."
Jiang Ping smiled and said, "That's a good thing. Which girl are you talking about?"
Li Shangwen: "We have already decided on a maid in the house, and the second bedroom will be with a young lady from a wealthy family in the city."
What's the point of this... Jiang Ping blinked, feeling a little confused.
Zhong Yan nodded, "You are not young anymore. When do you plan to get married?"
"In two years, let's wait until the child learns more. Anyway, aunt has made arrangements for me..."
After chatting for a while, Li Shangwen said goodbye and left.
Jiang Ping asked in confusion: "Husband, how come the main wife married a maid, and the concubine found a girl from the city? The Li family is also a wealthy family, isn't it a joke?"
Zhong Yan said: "Marriage is about being well-matched, but the Li family has not completely broken away from the monks. Naturally, it is necessary to find someone who knows everything first. Origin is not important."
Jiang Ping was startled and suddenly realized that Li Shangwu was now the head of the Li Mansion. She had not seen Li Henian for a long time. She almost forgot about this person and subconsciously thought that he would never come back.
At the same time, she decided that when the weather gets warmer after the New Year, she must go out and walk more and study more.
"Husband, Brother Li?"
Zhong Yan looked at the falling snowflakes in the yard, "Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, it depends on fate."
He had learned from Yang Yanqing that someone from the Fang family in Wangcheng City had returned, and only two people were left in the eight-person expedition team.
Not long after.
Zhong Qixing waved with a nervous look, "Xiao...brother swollen~"
Zhong Xiaozhong, who was usually stoic, couldn't help but smile brightly and shouted: "Master Xing!"
Then he stepped forward to greet Zhong Yan and Jiang Ping and reported: "Sir, Master Yu Xian and Mrs. Yang's four monks have left the city together."
Zhong Yan nodded, curled his lips and smiled, this Gou King is really a Gou. He waited for three days to invite his friends to go to Fangshi with him.
But there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
Zhong Yan also wanted to be stubborn, but he couldn't help it. He was born with an adventurous spirit in his bones, and he loved to fight and dare to venture.
Moreover, although the panel is currently triggered, the many impacts brought about by the dual repair system do not give him a chance.
As long as you want to build a foundation and live forever, the effects displayed by the current system are far from enough, and will inevitably be involved in many disputes and dangers.
It's better to take the initiative yourself!
After Zhong Xiaozhong left, Jiang Ping looked at her husband's face and said with a smile: "Husband, Master Lin Xian from Marriage Pavilion has not been here for a while."
Speaking of this, Zhong Yan couldn't help but frown.
A few days ago, under the arrangement of Lin Xuelan, a famous monk in the city who was on the sixth level of Qi training married a woman with five spiritual roots who was on the first level of Qi training.
Zhong Yan was a little suspicious that the other party was deliberately stuck and did not find a female nun for him. After all, they said they were willing to pay two, three, or even more. Who wouldn't make money if they opened the door to do business?
Because of this suspicion, he was shaken in his judgment that Tang Xiaoshu was a spy of the City Lord's Mansion.
There was absolutely no need for Qin Ben to do this.
On the contrary, Marriage Pavilion, which has a monk organization behind it, may have made this move due to some unknown factors.
Jiang Ping blinked and said: "Husband, Ping'er feels that Yu Qingyao is pretty good, with good looks. Although her cultivation level is higher than yours, husband, you are a Talisman Master, so you are more than good enough for her."
More than enough... Zhong Yan was funny, "Others can't look down on my level."
Jiang Ping shook her head and said: "I don't think so. My husband became famous in one battle. Now who in the city doesn't respect her? If you don't mind that she is a widow, will I match you up?"
She knows her husband's thoughts and has always wanted to find a woman with spiritual roots. She probably won't care about marriage or not, and whether she is a widow or not.
Zhong Yan looked at his wife and asked with a smile: "Trying to become a husband? Are you afraid that I will marry a female monk and overwhelm you?"
Jiang Ping reached out and held her husband's hand, shook her head slightly, and said sincerely: "The female monk will definitely take the lead on me, Ping'er has nothing to fight for, and Ping'er has confidence that even if a female monk marries into the Zhong family, husband, you I will treat Ping'er well as always and won't be bullied for no reason, right husband?"
With a playful smile, she continued: "It will be good for the Zhong family to have a reliable person to help. From now on, husband, if you bring a helper when you go out, the sisters will not be so worried."
Zhong Yan thought for a while and said, "Then you have time to go to her house and walk around. Don't mention it explicitly in a hurry."
Jiang Ping had a smile on her lips and gave her a 'sure' look, "I see, it's only a matter of time before Master Yu Xian will fall into the arms of her husband!"
"How can I see it?"
"Ping'er chatted with her for a long time that day, and I felt that she... well, how should I put it, seemed to be deliberately pretending to be serious and cold, showing a strong attitude, but in fact, her personality should be similar to that of sister Qiuxiang, weak and timid , Such a woman, no matter how high her cultivation level is, is no match for her husband..."
"Haha..." Zhong Yan couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Giggle~" The little guy Zhong Qixing laughed and scratched his father's cheek with his little hand.
When Jiang Ping saw this, she couldn't help but grin, and took out her handkerchief to wipe her son's runny nose.
Zhong extended his arms and took her into his arms, "I'll go to your place tonight."
Jiang Ping raised her face and cast an angry look in her eyes, "The child is here!"
Zhong Yan looked at his son and grinned: "You are so young, you know nothing!"
Didn't know.
The little guy waved his hands up and down and cheered, "Daddy is looking for mommy to sleep with~"
Zhong Yan: "..."
Jiang Ping: "..."
The two looked at each other and were speechless.
Immediately, Jiang Ping snorted, her red face covered her mouth and she smiled sweetly, while she raised her pink fist and hit her husband on the shoulder.
Zhong Yan was also very happy.
The three happy people were so cozy.
Standing aside, Xiaohuan pursed her lips and snickered, her alluring appearance eclipsing the sky and the earth.
At the opposite corner of the circular corridor, Chunyu passed by holding her son in her arms. When she saw this, she was filled with envy and turned around sadly.
The accompanying maid whispered: "Third Madam, why are you going back again?"
"The master is talking to the eldest sister, so don't bother me."
As a result, a cry came from the distance: "Third Sister!"
"Eh!"
Chunyu responded hurriedly, tightened the child in her arms, walked quickly forward, bowed and saluted, "I have met your husband, eldest sister!"
"If you are holding a child, you don't need these false gifts."
Zhong Yan had handed over his eldest son to his wife and took his fourth son, Zhong Qi'an, from Chun Yu with a smile.
This little guy is only a little over a year old. He is chewing a pacifier made of monster bone in his mouth. He can call daddy and mommy, but his speech is unclear.
"Sanniang~" Zhong Qixing shouted with a milky voice.
"Xing'er is good!" Chunyu touched her chubby face and said with a smile, "Sister, Xing'er is so smart!"
Jiang Ping smiled brightly, "I'm very naughty. I accidentally broke a vase yesterday, and I complained that it was Xiao Huan who did it."
Zhong Qixing tilted his tiger hat and glared: "Just Si Xiaofan! Huh~"
Xiao Huan couldn't help but laugh, "Young master is right, the slave broke it."
The little guy looked proud, his big black eyes suddenly turned to his father's face, he immediately shrank his neck, turned his head and buried it in his mother's shoulder.
Provoked a burst of laughter.
Zhong Yan was also amused in his heart, but said: "Children can't be pampered like this. They have to be taught principles from an early age and tell them how to seek truth from facts."
"Did you hear that?" Jiang Ping patted her son's buttocks and nodded to her husband, "I have taught you a lesson and will guide you slowly."
Some small talk.
Jiang Ping looked at Chun Yu and said bluntly in front of Zhong Yan: "It's been so long, my sister still remembers it in her heart? Can you tell that your husband doesn't like An'er and has given you a look? Don't be so cautious in the future. We are a family." People, it makes no sense to avoid them."
Chunyu couldn't help but feel a sore nose. She turned her face away and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She turned back and smiled at Zhong Yan: "Yes, I have remembered it!"
"alright."
Zhong Yan raised his hand to rub her cheek, looked around, looked at the round table and stone bench in the corner of the corridor, and said with a smile: "Xiao Huan, ask someone to bring the stove and pot, prepare some vegetables and sliced meat, let's have hot pot."
"Husband, what is hot pot?"
"You'll know in a minute."
It’s so pleasant to enjoy the snow and eat hotpot outdoors.
