Chapter 32 Means
When passing through the Yunyuan, Shen Changze hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.
Recently, Cheng Jinchu seemed to be sensible, no longer quarreling and blaming, and was too docile, which made Shen Changze feel uneasy.
He walked into the house quietly and saw Cheng Jinchu sewing new clothes for the baby.
Shen Changze was touched and said softly: "These things will be done by the embroiderer, don't tire your eyes."
Cheng Jinchu raised her 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 stroked her abdomen with his broad palm.
"It's less than three months, you can't feel it." Cheng Jinchu's hand covered his hand, warm and hot.
Shen Changze held her back, pulled her into his arms and said, "Thank you for your hard work. After the baby is born, I will take you out of the house to play and breathe."
Cheng Jinchu leaned on his chest and laughed, "Are you stupid, my husband? You have
to stay in confinement after giving birth and can't run around." "Then wait until you are done with confinement before going. I will definitely make up for you." Shen Changze felt pity.
After all, they had slept in the same bed for six years and gave birth to children for him. The love was so deep that it could not be described in words.
"Okay, my husband, you must keep your word." Cheng Jinchu hugged Shen Changze's waist and closed her eyes to feel the warmth of this moment.
She believed that Shen Changze loved her, but his love was not only for her, but also for others.
"I am tired and need to rest," Shen Changze asked, stroking her back.
Cheng Jinchu shook her head: "I slept too much during the day, I'm not sleepy."
Finally, as if she understood, Cheng Jinchu said considerately: "My husband has something to do
." "Well, I have to go to the study to deal with some paperwork."
"I'll accompany my husband and grind ink for him."
Thinking that grinding ink would not be tiring for her, Shen Changze agreed, and the two went to the study together.
He concentrated on reading and writing official documents, and she quietly ground ink. The atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful.
The night was silent. Cheng Jinchu held her chin and watched Shen Changze handle official business. Recalling the days when the two of them depended on each other for life and death at the border, she actually had a trace of nostalgia.
But the past is the past after all, and people must always look forward.
Time passed slowly in the flickering candlelight. Cheng Jinchu, who was pregnant, was very sleepy and yawned slightly with her hand covering her lips.
Shen Changze, who was concentrating on reading documents, heard it and turned his head and said, "If you are tired, go back to sleep."
He was about to call Qiu Shuang to take her back.
In a hurry, Cheng Jinchu reached out and covered Shen Changze's mouth, and said coquettishly, "I want to accompany my husband and wait for my husband to rest together."
The warm touch on his lips and the soft voice in his ears made Shen Changze's heart soften. He closed the document and said, "Let's go, I will go back with you to rest."
"But hasn't your husband finished dealing with it yet?"
"No problem, it's not a big deal, you can look at it tomorrow." Shen Changze helped her get up.
Cheng Jinchu smiled happily and went back to the main house with him to rest.
Qiu Shuang saw it and her heart fell back into her stomach.
A few days ago, the two had a big fight. Shen Changze moved out of the main house and stayed in Songlanyuan for several days in a row. Qiu Shuang thought that Cheng Jinchu had fallen out of favor.
Now it seems that her worries are unnecessary. Madam has her own ways.
When the raindrops fell, Bitao went to close the window.
Hearing the sound of rain, Xu Lingyi woke up as if from a dream, and said to herself: "The Marquis will not come."
It doesn't matter, she also felt a little tired today, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Thinking of Shen Changze losing control and entangled with her during the bath in the evening, Xu Lingyi curled her lips and smiled charmingly.
Since she has captured Shen Changze's body, it is only a matter of time to capture his heart.
The rain crackled all night and did not stop until the next day.
Jiang Shu listened to the rain in the corridor and fed Bubai with carrots.
Because of the sufficient food, Bubai grew up a lot in just over a month. He looked like a cat when held in Jiang Shu's arms.
Wild animals are usually wild and don't want to get close to people. But Bubai is defenseless against people and can be caught by anyone.
"You are so stupid and greedy. How did you survive before?" Jiang Shu lowered her head and stroked Bubai's soft and smooth fur.
Pure black rabbits are rare. If they fall into other people's hands, they will definitely skin them and eat their meat, and use their fur to make things.
Meeting her, it is a blessing for him to live a long life.
Shen Changze walked into the corridor with an umbrella, glanced at Bubai on Jiang Shu's lap and said, "This rabbit is really lucky."
Most people who keep pets usually keep kittens or puppies, or birds, and very few keep rabbits.
Jiang Shu smiled and said, "I am lucky. I saw it when I came back from worshipping Buddha at Zhaojue Temple that day."
If she hadn't gone to worship Buddha that day, hadn't been with the princess, and hadn't had King Jing's "accumulation of virtue", it would have entered reincarnation long ago.
Shen Changze looked away, not caring about a rabbit.
Jiang Shu put aside his grievances and asked, "How come the Marquis is free today?"
Shen Changze looked at the rain curtain that was like a beaded curtain, and said deeply, "It's not suitable to train soldiers when it rains."
Jiang Shu understood, stood up and said, "Then let's take advantage of the Marquis's free time today to sort out the people who are suitable to manage the farms together."
The two of them went upstairs with umbrellas and stayed there for the whole morning.
The farms of the Marquis's mansion are divided into five parts, and each has a farm manager. But he has been neglected for many years and is not so loyal to the Marquis's mansion.
Therefore, if you want to manage the farm well, you must re-appoint loyal and trustworthy people.
"The Marquis thinks these people are feasible," Jiang Shu analyzed one by one.
After a little consideration, Shen Changze said, "Very good, I will go with my mother to arrange this matter later."
Jiang Shu handed him a piece of paper with the names of several people.
Shen Changze took it and folded it into his sleeve.
Jiang Shu reminded: "The farm is remote and hard, and no one is willing to go. The Marquis must use 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: "The wife and daughter of Steward Feng work in the kitchen. Steward Feng's wife, Wang, can be promoted to kitchen purchasing, and his daughter can be sent to serve in the backyard."
Shen Changze was not stupid, he understood it immediately.
But he was not familiar with the personnel arrangement in the mansion, and he didn't know where to start.
"The elderly in the mansion are all my mother and grandmother's people, you might as well ask my mother and grandmother for their opinions." Jiang Shu showed him the way.
Shen Changze nodded, thinking that Jiang Shu was smart and measured, and he was very comfortable with her.
"The previous manager must be dissatisfied with the sudden change of the manager, can you think about how to deal with it?" Jiang Shu asked.
Although it is the owner's right to change the manager, if it is not handled properly and resentment is aroused, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Shen Changze frowned and said fiercely: "Those who obey can stay, and those who don't can leave."
Jiang Shu shook her head: "No." "
Although the manager of the manor has declined, he has a deep foundation after many years. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. He must be properly dealt with."
"If a tough approach arouses resentment, they will definitely retaliate in private. The people in the manor are theirs, and it is impossible to replace them completely. Then the new manager of the manor will be unable to move, and the Marquis' plan will be difficult to implement."
"Such trouble..." Shen Changze frowned, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow: "The Marquis thinks that being the head of the family is a very simple matter..."
Shen Changze looked at her, speechless. He really thought so, and never thought that
managing a household could be that difficult.
