"Little sister!" Jiang Wei suddenly threw herself on Shen Huaixu, extremely happy, "I missed you so much!"

"I miss you too." Chen Huaixu hugged him happily.

The two of them let go, and Shen Huaixu looked Jiang Boliang up and down, frowning slightly, "Dad, have you lost weight?"

Jiang Boliang laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close. "How can I lose weight? Your mother even said I'm fat."

Shen Huaixu took another closer look, still worried, "Dad, I'll take your pulse later. Do you think I've grown taller?"

"It's grown. Almost as tall as your sister."

Shen Huaixu was satisfied and looked at Jiang Sanlang again, "Third brother, you seem to have grown taller too. Have you planted the sweet potatoes I left for you?"

"More than just sweet potatoes?" Jiang Sanlang boasted. "We've already harvested a crop of potatoes and chili peppers. I dried the chili peppers as you instructed, then ground them into powder. It was so spicy that Dazhuang couldn't even open his eyes. I don't know if it's not warm enough or for some other reason, but the harvest isn't very good. The potatoes are still small. I found a piece of land to plant them next year, and they're much better than what I planted in winter..."

Once Jiang Sanlang started talking about this matter, he never stopped.

Jiang Wei couldn't bear it, "Third brother, please let your cousin talk to your youngest sister! Your cousin is worried!"

Jiang Sanlang slapped his forehead and said, "Blame me, blame me..."

Liu Yeer looked at Shen Huaixu with a smile on her face, "Ah Xu, you've become more and more handsome!"

…

The family chatted affectionately for a while, and then began to talk about the situation at home. Finally, Shen Huaixu looked at Jiang Boliang with a look of both laughter and tears, "Dad, I didn't say it in the letter because I didn't want to worry my family. The Marquis has already pointed it out to me, and I know I was wrong."

Jiang Boliang groaned, "How could Dad not guess what you're thinking? It's just that I've been asking around too much, and I feel uneasy. Coming here to see if you're doing well makes Dad and Mom feel at ease."

Chen Huaixu promised: "Next time this happens, I will definitely not hide it."

After talking for a while, she took the four of them to see the residence she had prepared for them, and visited the Marquis' Mansion along the way.

In the end, Jiang Boliang and Jiang Sanlang lived in the front yard. The yard prepared for Jiang Wei and Liu Ye'er was not used. They wanted to live in the same yard with Shen Huaixu. There happened to be an empty room, so Shen Huaixu asked Nanny Ji to find someone to clean it up.

In the evening, when Chen Su returned home, Chen Huaixu asked Nanny Ji to send the fresh food unique to the capital and a pot of drunken flower wine that had been prepared long ago to the front yard, one portion for the three sisters to eat together, and another portion for them to eat together.

After dinner, the three sisters had a long chat and didn't fall asleep until late at night.

The next day, the three of them naturally had dark circles under their eyes.

Over the next two days, Shen Huaixu took Jiang Sanlang, Liu Yeer, and Jiang Wei on a nice stroll around the capital.

After a day of strolling, several people enjoyed the cool air under the garden pavilion. After witnessing the prosperity of the capital, Jiang Wei couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder everyone says the capital is great. There are so many delicious and fun things to do!"

Jiang Sanlang: "It's also very expensive."

Jiang Wei and Liu Ye'er felt that what Jiang Sanlang said was right and nodded quickly: "It's scary that they destroyed our entire year's harvest in one meal."

"When my second brother passes the imperial examination and takes the palace exam, maybe our family will be able to move to the capital by then." Shen Huaixu said.

"Then we have to save some money." Jiang Wei has a strong sense of crisis.

Jiang Sanlang also wanted to make money. He thought about it and came up with a business opportunity. "How about selling chili powder in the capital? Is there a future in it?"

It’s fresh enough and it’s the only one of theirs, so it’s definitely a big seller.

…

As they were talking happily, Xiaoman suddenly walked up to Chen Huaixu and whispered a few words to him. The relaxed look on Chen Huaixu's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a slightly solemn expression.

"What's wrong? Xu?"

Liu Yeer noticed something was wrong and asked.

"There's a patient whose belly is too big and in a bad condition. She came to the door of the Marquis' Mansion and wanted me to go and see her."

The reason why Chen Huaixu didn't go to pick up Jiang Boliang and others in person in the past two days was because of this family.

The family's surname was Qiao. They were porcelain merchants and also royal merchants. After learning that she had saved Shu Yun who was having difficulties in childbirth, they came to visit her.

Mr. Qiao has a son and a daughter. His son was born in his old age and is still young. Before his son was born, his daughter, who was already of marriageable age, found a son-in-law to marry into the Qiao family. Mr. Qiao also planned to hand over all his property to his daughter and son-in-law.

No one expected that Mr. Qiao, who was over fifty years old, could give birth to a son. The Qiao family was in an uproar and there was a lot of commotion for a month. Although Mr. Qiao loved his youngest son, he also raised his eldest daughter like a treasure.

The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh, and you can never cut them off. Until now, there is no conclusion to this matter.

The Qiao family invited her for their eldest daughter Qiao Baozhu who was about to give birth. She felt something was not right when she took Qiao Baozhu's pulse two days ago. Qiao Baozhu was petite but had a big belly. At first, they thought she was pregnant with twins. After seeing several doctors, they could not find the pulse of twins. Finally, they found out that Qiao Baozhu had a good appetite and ate a lot.

Jiang Sanlang looked at the setting sun that was about to disappear in the sky and said, "If you go, Third Brother will accompany you."

"Third brother, if you go, you probably won't be able to get into the backyard door. Let me go. I used to help youngest sister, so I know a little bit about it." Jiang Wei stood up and said.

Liu Ye'er looked a little apologetic: "I don't quite understand, Ah Xu, if you need help, I can come along."

Chen Huaixu waved his hand, "No need to bring so many people, I can just take my sister with me. You've been tired all day, Third Brother, Cousin, you should have a good rest."

"Be careful on the road."

Soon, Shen Huaixu took the medicine box handed to him by Xiaoman, checked it carefully, and found that nothing was missing. Then he brought Jiang Wei to the door and met the housekeeper who Xiaoman had asked for him.

The housekeepers of the imperial merchant family were all adorned with gold and silver, and they showed great respect to Shen Huaixu. "This old servant greets the Lady of Mingyi. Thank you for your visit."

Shen Huaixu didn't want to delay and immediately said, "Hurry up and get in the car."

As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and got into the car, not forgetting to pull Jiang Wei with her.

While doing this, he said to Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, go and ask Doctor Yue from Jishitang to go to Qiao's house and tell him that I want his help."

On the way, Shen Huaixu whispered to Jiang Wei about Qiao Baozhu's situation. Jiang Wei also knew that giving birth was not easy, but she didn't expect that the situation of this girl named Qiao Baozhu was so tricky.

"What if the child cannot be born?"

Shen Huaixu looked at her, "Sister, you've seen me treat people's wounds. This time it might be a little bloodier."

Jiang Wei suddenly thought of something and said in horror, "Little sister, are you going to cut open someone's stomach again?"

Shen Huaixu looked at her sideways. "Aren't you used to it yet? What's that expression?"
