Before Yan Shitu got married, she looked disillusioned with the world, but when she went to see him a few days after the wedding, he had a smile on his face and kept calling her "Qingqing~~"

Watching this scene, Yan Shiyue felt deeply that all the worries she had made before were just foolish. Sure enough, she still didn't understand these big pigs! She actually thought that he would be sad for a long time?

But after these two things happened, Yan Shitu seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, and became more stable. A few days after getting married, he came to find her and wanted to come to the Ministry of Commerce.

Yan Shiyue followed his wishes and hired him a junior clerk at the lowest level of the eighth rank, allowing him to learn step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

And he really calmed down and started to study seriously.

Meng Min was deeply relieved.

Yan Shiyue also felt relieved. After all the fuss, she managed to kick out Yan Liangchou, the white lotus, without any danger. She also helped to make Yan Shitu, who everyone was worried about, mature. This result was really gratifying.

At the same time, the imperial decree for the visit was also issued, and the time was set to be around March next year.

At this time, Huo Qijing's men had already prepared enough materials, and were transporting all kinds of things to the capital in truckloads, just waiting for these people to take the bait.

These families are all prominent, and the people under them also take the opportunity to make a fortune. They are never stingy with money when buying things. Other merchants would not have the money to spend if they wanted to ask for more money. What's more, any smart person would know that this person has inside information after taking a look at the inventory level, and would not dare to steal the business.

...

...

It can be said that he is making a fortune every day!

Everyone is happy.

The New Year passed in this busy atmosphere.

Although Yan Shiyue was still young, she still did not show up at the banquet because of the incident that happened before.

The prince did come back, he looked darker and thinner, but in very good spirits.

After all, he saw with his own eyes that the new rice was planted and harvested, and the report he brought back was extremely detailed and down-to-earth. Emperor Ming Yan praised him for his concern for the world and his deep resemblance to the emperor... This should be the highest praise for the crown prince!

New Year's Day is no different from any other day.

Yan Shiyue and Huo Qijing were playing with the child on the couch.

The two children didn't understand at first why their mother couldn't hold them anymore. They kept staring at her with their black eyes, which made Yan Shiyue feel very distressed. Now they have adapted to it, and they don't ask her to hold them anymore, which makes her feel very disappointed.

Yan Shiyue said: "If you are born on this day, you will never be able to celebrate your birthday in your life."

Huo Qijing smiled and said, "You are wrong. If they were born on this day, the whole world would celebrate their birthday with them."

"That's right," Yan Shiyue felt more balanced and asked, "Which day is the one for the first month of the lunar calendar?"

Huo Qijing said: "It will be on the sixth day."

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, they didn't invite anyone, but not only Yan Chengyuan's family, but also the crown prince and the fourth and fifth sons came to watch the two little ones' grasp of the one-year-old ceremony.

The room was hot and filled with things, and just as I was cleaning up, Emperor Ming Yan came quietly, looking quite interested.

When the auspicious time came, the two little ones were put down and crawled all over the blanket.

Sometimes Yan Shiyue really feels that people's temperament and personality are innate, not acquired. Anyway, little Jiaozi is really very calm, while little Nian Gao is a little naughty. Even though they are so small, you can see the obvious difference.

Anyway, now, Xiao Nian Gao took the lead and crawled to the front. He first took the silver, looked at it, threw it down, then picked up the needle representing needlework, and threw it down again.

Over there, Little Dumpling picked up the book slowly and leisurely, and then Little Nian Gao rushed over fiercely and snatched it away.

Her son didn't cry, but slowly picked up the breastplate that represented the general, and then very cleverly crawled away to avoid his sister.

Her daughter snatched the book, then went over and grabbed the official seals, one in each hand. She looked up at her father with great pride: "Ah! Ah!" Her saliva was dripping down.

Everyone laughed out loud while watching it.

Emperor Mingyan also laughed and said, "Yes, Jiaozi has the style of an elder brother and can carry on the will of his ancestors. Nian Gao is also better than Yue'er. He must study hard!"

Huo Qijing also had a smile on his face and picked up his daughter.

Although Yan Shiyue wondered what a little kid like this could possibly understand, she had to admit that it was a good sign.

This was just a minor incident and no one paid much attention to it.

Yan Shiyue's belly had been changing every day since the New Year. Su Ji didn't even need to feel her pulse, he just pointed and said, "It's twins again."

Yan Shiyue: “…”

Her morning sickness was not that severe this time, but her sleepiness became worse... However, because there was an enrolment exam this year, Yan Shiyue was particularly worried about her teaching materials.

Huo Qijing took over the writing task.

When they entered the study at night, she said, "He writes."

The beauty couch in the study was covered with a thick woolen blanket. Yan Shiyue leaned on it and watched Huo Qijing writing furiously.

He likes to write while standing. From behind, he looks really straight, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Although Huo Qijing was a military general, his handwriting was not bad, and could even be said to be very good.

He is just like this, too introverted. Actually, he is good in everything, but he just doesn't show off.

Yan Shiyue sometimes felt emotional and asked him, "A Jing, do you want to go to the border?"

Huo Qijing was stunned.

Then he put down his pen, held her hand and said, "Don't think I only like the border. In fact, as long as I am in the army, I can show my strengths. It is true that you can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a moment. However, when a brave general returns to the capital, he will probably feel trapped. And it is easy for a general who has never been on the battlefield to talk about military training on paper. Besides, it is easier said than done to say that the capital is safe and sound and the army can continue to train. "

He paused and said, "The emperor wants someone who can fight well, can train soldiers constantly, and can endure loneliness. In this regard, I am good at it, and so is my father-in-law. Therefore, we are the best candidates to take charge of the imperial army."

Is that so?

Yan Shiyue looked into his bright eyes and said softly, "I want you to be happy."

"I know." He kissed her and said, "I am very happy. Every day since I married you, I have been extremely happy."

After the Chinese New Year, in February, each family's villa for visiting relatives was built one after another, and the large-scale construction in the capital finally came to an end.

In just over three months, he made a profit of several million taels.

After deducting the principal and rewarding the people who handled the matter, Huo Qijing was left with only a few hundred thousand taels. He then quietly entered the palace and gave the remaining four million taels to Emperor Ming Yan.

Emperor Ming Yan was shocked when he saw it.

Then Huo Qijing said, "Yuer said that no one knows about this money, so please ask the emperor to quietly put it into the private treasury. Money is a person's confidence, so that the emperor will not... always worry about the money."

Emperor Mingyan snorted, "Don't you get so angry just because the treasury is missing seven million taels? I don't need to guess what that little bastard will say."

Huo Qijing smiled.

Emperor Mingyan smiled and said, "Then I will accept your filial piety."

He handed the box to Gu Jiuxing and asked, "Are all the people handling this time yours?"

Huo Qijing responded, and Emperor Ming Yan nodded: "Go down."
