Yanyang didn't let him take his hand away either. His palm was warm, so he treated it as a warm hand for her stomach. She closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I had arrived at Jiuji County. After entering the city, the carriage went straight to the county government office. Qi Changyan got off the carriage first.
Before getting off the carriage, he specially left Xu Ji on the carriage to take Yan Yang home.
But... after walking a few steps away from the carriage, he suddenly turned back. Yanyang also saw the carriage door being pushed open again just after he got off.
His face came into view.
Qi Changyan looked at her, "I probably won't be able to go back for dinner tonight, so you and the children will eat first."
"...Well, okay." Yan Yang nodded.
There was no disappointment, not even surprise, because he had only had dinner at home a few times.
Qi Changyan also hummed and left again.
Yanyang continued walking to the mansion in the carriage.
On the way back, he saw a restaurant and asked Xu Ji to stop and ask him to send someone to buy some roasted pigeons.
The squab at this restaurant is delicious. Ji'an and Shaoshu like it, so they can be coaxed by it.
After returning home, seeing that it was getting late and the children would be leaving school soon, Yanyang asked Aunt Li to tell the kitchen that she wanted to eat mutton soup tonight and asked them to prepare something to cook it later.
Aunt Li sighed and immediately went down to do it.
After she came back from the job, she couldn't help but mutter in front of Yanyang, "Brother An and Sister Shu miss you from morning to night. The last few days I've called you by your name, I almost broke my tongue."
At first I thought Madam would be back in a few days, but she didn't come home until today when she was twenty-eight.
What made her even more troubled was that the second master was not at home for a long time because he had to deal with things. These days, she was worried day and night. She didn't dare to take her eyes away from her mistresses, for fear that they would appear under her nose. What's up.
Yanyang also knew that she was working hard and said, "Mama has been very tired these days."
Aunt Li didn't feel tired at all. She sighed, "I'm not tired. It's just that Brother An and Shujie have been crying a lot these past ten days. I'm afraid I'll cry again when I see you when I come back later. Please comfort us both." A little master."
Yanyang nodded.
More than half an hour later, Ji'an and Shaoshu returned home after studying. Sure enough, the two of them cried when they saw her.
I also cried for a long time after that, especially Shaoshu, who became even more clingy. Lai was beside Yanyang, and Shaoshu looked at her eagerly, "Aniang, you won't leave."
Yanyang: "Aniang didn't leave. I just went to see my grandpa and grandma. No, I'm back today."
Shaoshu flattened his lips, laid his little face on Yanyang's lap, and rubbed into her arms, "Then take me with you."
"good."
Yanyang touched her little face.
But in the short term, she couldn't go home even if she wanted to. If she had a baby for confinement, she would have to wait at least two or three months before she dared to take the baby out.
"My grandma asked the kitchen to prepare hot mutton shabu-shabu, and she also bought roasted squab pigeon from outside. Can we have shabu-shabu pork and roast squab pigeon tonight?"
"Okay!" Shaoshu nodded heavily.
Ji An also nodded.
Then he ran to the side to get his book bag, came over and stood next to Yanyang and told her what he had learned these days.
Her waist was straight and she already had the demeanor of a young boy.
It has to be said that Yanyang and Qi Changyan have not been at home for nearly ten days, and Ji'an has grown a lot as an older brother.
Yan Yang suddenly felt distressed, but of course, she was also happy. How could she not be happy when her children grew up?
Smiling and praising Ji'an and then Shaoshu, she asked her grandma to bring the baggage she had brought when she came back. It contained the things her mother had prepared for the two of them, which also made them happy. .
On the other side, the county seat is located.
Qi Changyan was quite satisfied. During the ten days he left, everything in the county and city was in order and there was no trouble.
He nodded generously and praised his subordinates.
Everyone was so happy that they were praised, and their spirits improved a bit. Xu Ji looked at it and smiled, and thought privately that in the past year, due to various reasons, you have gone to Beijing four times, which is more than the total number of times in the past four years. And those days come and go, which time? Don’t you have to be away for more than ten days? If these four times have not trained these people out, how can adults allow these people to continue doing things around them?
Qi Changyan saw that everything was fine, and there was no major matter that he was urgent to deal with. After thinking about it, he simply sorted out some chores and took them directly back to the mansion to deal with them after he was off duty.
People in the government office were surprised by this. In the past, no matter what happened, adults would almost always finish their chores in the government office before going back every time they came back from Beijing.
Today was different... everyone was surprised to return home so early.
Qi Changyan didn't notice anything about this. He just thought that the matter at hand was not urgent anyway, so he would go home first.
When I arrived at home, I suddenly felt something as I entered the door. I raised my head and glanced at the time. Then his expression darkened because a possibility suddenly occurred to him.
Could it be that she ate it again? When he came back, he had to eat alone again just like in the prison.
After thinking so deeply, his steps suddenly slowed down and his face became expressionless.
But then he walked into the courtyard and passed the courtyard gate. When he saw the bright and bright door of the main hall, his eyes narrowed. Because he heard sounds, the sounds of children laughing, and the occasional sound of Yanyang laughing and talking.
She was telling Shaoshu and Ji'an that the food they had taken out was hot and they should blow it before eating.
Qi Changyan looked up, so he was still eating?
In this way, the pace did not speed up, and he still walked at the same leisurely pace as before. When they entered the door, they actually saw Yanyang and the children still eating.
And she seemed a little surprised to see his figure.
"Didn't you say you'll be home late?" Yan Yang asked.
In response to her question, Qi Changyan came over and sat down, "I don't have much to do, so I'm going back first."
"That's right." Yan Yang nodded.
Qi Changyan looked at Huan Zhi, who was waiting on the side, "Bring me a bowl."
"yes."
After Huanzhi brought the bowl, Yanyang pointed to the plate on the side and asked him, "Is this mutton enough for you? Can you ask the kitchen to get some mutton slices?"
Qi Changyan glanced at it and felt that it was not enough, so he nodded and said to make more.
Yanyang ordered her mother to go to the kitchen to add more mutton.
After finishing speaking, Qi Changyan interrupted, "Also, wash some of the vegetables that my mother-in-law put on the carriage today. I tasted them yesterday and thought they were good."
Yanyang nodded and asked someone to go get it.
After the meal, Qi Changyan felt very comfortable. He seemed to be more comfortable than what he had eaten at the Lin family yesterday.
So I thought about it and said, "If nothing happens tomorrow, I will come back to eat."
Yanyang was surprised, and then nodded.
Just when she nodded, she felt a heavy weight on her lap. Shaoshu, who was full and had played around for a while, was stuck to her again.
Yanyang smiled and touched her little back.
Qi Changyan went to the study at this time. After all, he had brought those things back and read them all today. By the time I finished reading, it was already not too early, so I put my things away and returned to the house.
However, when he walked to the main room later, his expression suddenly turned slightly cold, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be cold.
Because he saw that the candles in Yanyang's room had been extinguished, and the girl Huanzhi was specially guarding the door next to her, telling him that his room had been heated with charcoal.
This means that he was told that he was sleeping in the next room.
Qi Changyan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips, his expression uncontrollably cold.
But Xu Ji came over quickly at this time, "Sir, there is a letter from Beijing."
