Jiang Shuyue walked out with a tired look on her face, and Zhou Yunshen and Zhou Shiye immediately stepped forward.
Zhou Shiye ordered someone to bring warm water for her to wash her hands and also gave her a handkerchief: "Mom, are you okay?"
Jiang Shuyue was deeply moved: [Woo woo, you are indeed my good eldest son, so considerate and reliable.]
Zhou Yunshen gently grasped her hair: "It's all broken. I'll ask Sanhua to sort it out for you later."
Jiang Shuyue: [My cheap husband is so thoughtful! I've worked so hard for so long. What kind of reward should I ask him for? It seems like crayfish season is almost here. Should he help me find a chef, or open a small restaurant just for me to enjoy crayfish?]
These are not difficult for him.
But Zhou Yunshen didn't know what crayfish was, but shrimp did know.
It seems that he is still ignorant and should make up for it.
"General Zhao."
Doctor Zeng came out and said politely, "General Zhao, your wife's bleeding has stopped. She's a little weak now. I gave her some medicine. She'll be fine after a few days of recuperation when she wakes up tomorrow."
"Thank you, Doctor Zeng. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Zhao Qing was a rough man who didn't know the ins and outs of things, but he actually asked someone to bring him one thousand taels of gold.
Doctor Zeng was still a member of the Imperial Medical Bureau on the surface, and seeing patients was his job.
But faced with so much money, he felt uncomfortable whether to take it or not.
Jiang Shuyue's eyes lit up as she looked at the gold: "I didn't expect Old Zhao to be so rich! But I also helped his wife, so why did he only give the gold to Doctor Zeng and not to me?"
[Huahua, do you think he favors boys over girls, or does he look down on me? This guy is unacceptable. I'm going to tell the villain to stay away from him.]
Zhao Qing wanted to die.
He is definitely not biased towards boys, and it is even more impossible for him to look down on Jiang Shuyue.
He just felt that he and Zhou Yunshen were brothers. Besides, the Zhennan Marquisate was much richer than him. How could the Zhennan Marquisate value a mere 1,000 taels of gold?
Zhao Qing was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say to save the situation.
He looked at Zhou Yunshen eagerly, blinking his eyes desperately to defend himself: Listen to me, General Zhou, my heart is with Mingyue, you know!
Zhou Yunshen felt a little disgusted.
My heart is toward the bright moon, is this how it is used?
He spoke slowly, "Doctor Zeng is a doctor with a caring heart. How could he be interested in such a vulgar thing as yours? However, it's not easy to take back something I've given you. Just consider it as my wife's hard work."
"Of course, of course. Come on, quickly wrap this little sister up and put her in the carriage."
Jiang Shuyue: [Great! I have my own little stash now! Today's 1,000 taels of bonus will become 2,000 taels tomorrow. It won't be long before I'm the richest woman in the Great Zhou!]
Zhou Shiye: Mom, gold doesn’t drop every day!
Zhou Yunshen thought that the title of richest woman was a good one. If his wife liked it, he could also go to King Huai to discuss it and let her join the business to get a share of the pie.
But at this time, the person he was most annoyed with was Zhao Qing.
This guy is too familiar. He calls others "sisters" as long as they do him a favor.
His wife became Zhao Qing's younger sister, so what was he?
Zhou Yunshen's face turned cold: "Who is your little sister? You shameless old thing, you still want to take advantage of me! Get out!"
Zhao Qing held the child and smiled sheepishly, "No, no, I'm going to go see my wife first. You guys can do whatever you want. Imperial Physician Zeng, the Marquis of Zhennan and I will definitely speak well of you in front of the court judge!"
Afterwards, Deputy General Zuo sent the man out, arranged a carriage, and prepared five hundred taels of silver for him in the carriage, and sent them back to the Zeng family.
Although this amount of money is not comparable to one thousand taels of gold.
But having it is better than having it, not to mention that with the recommendation of the two of them, he will no longer be a marginal figure in the Imperial Hospital.
Thinking about his future career, Imperial Physician Zeng was overjoyed.
After Doctor Zeng left, Zhou Yunshen urged everyone to get on the carriage and prepare to return home.
Jiang Shuyue still had some melon left to eat, and she pouted unhappily, sulking: "I rushed here in such a hurry, and only got a thousand taels of gold. Is that reasonable?"
Why didn't he let me stay and eat the melon? Eating half of the melon is more disgusting than not eating it at all. Doesn't he know that? Bad review.
Zhou Yunshen was also helpless.
It’s not that he doesn’t want her to eat melon, but what happens next might be a bit bloody.
Zhou Yunshen didn't want her to be exposed to these things too much.
"My dear, you've worked so hard tonight. Are you hungry? I heard someone sent barbecued pork a few days ago. Would you like to have barbecued pork rice tonight?"
"Barbecued pork rice..."
Jiang Shuyue swallowed her saliva. After being reincarnated into the book, she had eaten many delicious foods, but she had never eaten barbecued pork.
Zhou Shiye: "The cook at home has also learned how to make sweet soup. I'm a little hungry too. Let him try to order it tonight."
"Okay, okay, I want to try both the barbecued pork rice and the sweet soup. I want to pair it with some bacon. I'm suddenly craving it."
"Okay, let's go home and eat some bacon."
After visiting the eldest lady, Zhao Qing handed the child to the care of two wet nurses and turned to go to Cheng's yard.
At this time, Cheng Ting was pressed on the bluestone steps, and the pillow in her stomach had been pulled out.
The midwife and her son and daughter-in-law were also pressed to the ground, and the servant was holding a baby boy who was only a few days old.
The baby looked cute with his chubby face, but it was a pity that Zhao Qing was in a bad mood.
"Cheng Ting, you left me because you despised the poor and loved the rich, and I never blamed you. Later, when you were poor and came to me, I forgot the past. You planned to climb into my bed, but my wife and I took into consideration that you had no one to rely on and could not live without ruining your reputation, so we accepted you."
"Is this how you repay our family?"
Cheng Ting was so frightened that she was shaking. Just as she opened her mouth to express her pity, Zhao Qing tore the pillow into pieces, and the cotton inside scattered all over the floor.
"Is this what you're pregnant with? You've managed to fool our whole family with just a bunch of cotton. You're amazing!"
"No, no, Zhao Lang, I just love you too much. I'm afraid you'll ignore me after your wife gives birth to a son, so I..."
"Bullshit!"
Zhao Qing pulled out his sword, causing Cheng Ting to scream and dodge. "Zhao Lang, we've been childhood sweethearts. How could you really have the heart to do that to me? You always make me do a thousand wrong things because you love me so much!"
"Besides, the title of General's Wife originally belonged to me, and I'm the one you love. She's just relying on her family connections to ride on my coattails. What's wrong with me wanting to take back what's mine?"
When Zhao Qing heard this, his anger disappeared.
Now it seems that he is surprisingly calm.
Cheng Ting thought he was persuaded, so she crawled to his legs, hugged Zhao Qing's legs and cried, "Zhao Lang, we love each other, and I have no one to rely on. You are all I have!"
"Have you forgotten the promise you made to me? You said you would give our child the best. If she gives birth to Lin'er, what will happen to our child?"
