Chapter 69 Upon hearing this, Qin Ren shook his head, "...
Qin Ren shook his head upon hearing this. "It shouldn't be. He only followed me around every day at first, but then he went to work at the cement workshop. Don't overthink it or worry. The emperor still needs me, and I haven't made any major mistakes. Nothing will happen to me."
Now the whole of Yongzhou knows that Qin Ren was granted a title of nobility because of sweet potatoes.
As long as the people have tasted sweet potatoes and know their value, they will remember Qin Ren's kindness. Even if the emperor one day dislikes Qin Ren, he cannot simply kill him at will.
Besides, Qin Ren hasn't made any major mistakes yet, and he's brought a lot of benefits to Dayong.
With everything in ruins and the emperor lacking capable men, he certainly wouldn't take action against Qin Ren now.
Liu Qingyue: "When I wasn't by your side, didn't he ask you anything?"
No one else dared to ask any more questions. Wen Lingzheng was the heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei; surely he would have the courage to inquire?
He asked me once, and I told him I went out to clear my head, so he didn't think much of it.
When Wen Lingzheng moved into the Qin family home, he discovered that his husband, Liu Qingyue, wasn't there, so he casually asked Qin Ren about it. After Qin Ren explained, he didn't ask again.
Liu Qingyue: "That's good."
Afterwards, Qin Ren accompanied him home, and they quickly returned to the ancient world through the passage. He still had some things to attend to in the ancient world, and he could only return to be with Liu Qingyue after he finished.
After watching Qin Ren leave, Liu Qingyue prepared to get herself something to eat.
He recently learned how to make soup, so he often makes himself pigeon soup or something similar.
There's a farmers' market not far from their neighborhood, where you can buy freshly slaughtered pigeons in the morning.
Liu Qingyue usually orders takeout, but sometimes she goes out to buy food.
Cooking is a recent hobby I've developed. Modern kitchens are much more convenient than those in ancient times, and the various appliances are quite interesting.
He said he was cooking, but actually he spent most of his time researching these various appliances.
Then, just as Liu Qingyue was preparing to make soup, she suddenly felt a little nauseous in the kitchen.
Liu Qingyue looked at the pigeons in the pond. These pigeons didn't have a fishy smell, but for some reason she suddenly felt nauseous.
Liu Qingyue frowned at this thought. Recently, he and Qin Ren had been trying to have a child. Could it be that he was already pregnant?
With that in mind, Liu Qingyue went to the living room and found the first-aid kit, intending to test it out at home.
Qin Ren bought him a pregnancy test and a pregnancy test strip as soon as they decided to have a child.
Qin Ren wasn't sure if such things would be useful for detecting pregnancy in ancient boys, but he still prepared quite a few for Liu Qingyue.
Liu Qingyue checked the instructions and then ran into the bathroom to test it.
He took two tests, and both showed that he was pregnant.
However, since he wasn't sure if the boy's constitution was any different from that of modern women, he planned to wait until Qin Ren returned next time and have Qin Ren take him to the hospital for a check-up.
Knowing that she might be pregnant, Liu Qingyue was in a particularly good mood.
He specifically looked up information to find out which foods pregnant women should not eat, and then wrote them all down on a piece of paper.
Pregnant women have many dietary restrictions, and they usually eat a variety of foods, so they need to be extra careful at this time.
Two days later, Qin Ren finally had the chance to come back and see him.
When Liu Qingyue saw that he had finally returned, she told him that he might be pregnant.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren immediately took him to the hospital, the same private hospital they had visited before, where they could go without leaving any personal information.
Qin Ren had spent a considerable amount of money at the hospital specifically to help Liu Qingyue give birth. Therefore, even though he brought a pregnant man, the hospital staff didn't find it particularly strange.
It's not that the people in the hospital aren't curious; it's just that the world is full of wonders.
Their private hospitals, especially those with better facilities, have treated many complex and difficult cases.
I've seen cases like hermaphrodites, men getting pregnant, women having genital warts, and even parasitic twins.
Many patients, worried about their privacy being leaked, will pay more money and not reveal their real identity, just like Qin Ren did.
When the patient arrived, they were wrapped up tightly, and even the doctor didn't know what the patient looked like after they left.
To prevent people from being traced by how they pay, it's also possible to prevent information leaks by paying in cash.
Qin Ren took Liu Qingyue for a checkup, which confirmed that Liu Qingyue was indeed pregnant. Both Qin Ren and Liu Qingyue were very happy.
After the two returned home, Liu Qingyue went to try out the teleportation channel.
He stayed in the modern world alone because he was worried that she wouldn't be able to use the passage after she got pregnant.
Now that she is really pregnant, Liu Qingyue wants to see if he can still use the passage.
If he can use it, he will go to ancient times to nurture his fetus.
If they can't use it, they'll have to plan to hire a nanny.
Pregnancy is a big deal, and this was Liu Qingyue's first time being pregnant. He hoped that someone would be by his side throughout his pregnancy.
Qin Ren was a little nervous when he took him to try it.
Qin Ren wasn't worried that Liu Qingyue wouldn't be able to use the passage after becoming pregnant.
If we can't use it, we can't use it. Anyway, Liu Qingyue is in the modern world now, so not being able to use it won't have a big impact.
Qin Ren is now afraid that Liu Qingyue will get injured if she uses the passage while she is pregnant.
Qin Ren: "Be careful."
As Qin Ren spoke, he gently squeezed Liu Qingyue's hand.
Liu Qingyue nodded upon hearing this, and then picked up his key to open the passage.
Upon seeing the passage behind the bronze door, he didn't rush in immediately, but tentatively extended one finger.
After confirming that his finger was alright and the passage did not reject him, he cautiously stepped inside.
After Liu Qingyue went inside, she turned back with a smile and said, "It's alright. It seems that as long as the child isn't born, it's assumed that I and the child are one."
Qin Ren was also happy to see this.
"That's good, so you can occasionally go back to ancient times."
"Can't I have a baby in ancient times?"
"It's possible, but the weather there is getting colder and damp, which might not be good for your health."
The sunshine hours there are very short. When it's not raining, the weather is very hot and humid, and when it rains, the weather is cold and damp.
Winter has few sunny days and a lot of rain, making it cold, damp, and uncomfortable.
Qin Ren thought that Liu Qingyue should spend most of her time in the modern world to prepare for childbirth.
As for leaving Liu Qingyue alone here?
Of course he was worried; he had already thought it through.
He will find a nanny for Liu Qingyue, and he will come back to keep her company every day.
Liu Qingyue: "Then I'll need to hire a nanny to take care of my pregnancy here."
If the other party finds out that he's a man and is pregnant, it will cause them trouble.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren said to him, "It's alright, let's go back to ancient times first and find a doctor to take a look at you."
Although modern medicine is more advanced, ancient medical techniques were not entirely useless.
In addition, Liu Qingyue was a boy, and people in ancient times needed to understand the physical condition of boys even more.
Now that Liu Qingyue is pregnant and can still use the passage, Qin Ren felt it necessary to show her.
Liu Qingyue nodded, and without continuing the conversation about finding a nanny, he was pulled back to ancient times by Qin Ren.
Because of Liu Qingyue's sudden return, Wen Lingzheng, being a man, found it inconvenient to continue living there, so he moved to the west wing with his servants.
Without Wen Lingzheng, it's just the two of them in this building.
Qin Ren had Xiang Sui come over to serve Liu Qingyue, and also found a skilled old woman to cook for Liu Qingyue in the main courtyard.
Liu Qingyue spends her days eating and drinking here, and goes back to the modern world to rest at night.
Qin Ren would accompany him back, mainly because he was worried that his stomach might feel uncomfortable that night.
Liu Qingyue needs constant care these days, so Qin Ren isn't in a hurry to do anything else. Since the cement workshop is now under Wen Lingzheng's care, Qin Ren doesn't really need to worry about many things.
Wen Lingzheng soon learned that Liu Qingyue was pregnant.
He felt embarrassed to drag Qin Ren to the workshop every day, so he could only lead a group of craftsmen to work by himself.
Actually, the method of making cement is not difficult. Qin Ren also taught him everything he needed to know about how to make the solidified cement stronger.
Wen Lingzheng doesn't need Qin Ren's help; she can handle many things on her own.
Just a few days after Liu Qingyue was able to return to ancient times, Qin Ren held a banquet to celebrate her moving to a new house.
The main purpose of this banquet was to let the people of the county see houses built with cement.
Just then, Wen Lingzheng's workshop produced its first batch of cement.
Some wealthy landlords and gentry, whether to give Qin Ren face or to support Wen Lingzheng, came to the event.
When the workshop's first batch of cement went on sale, they bought it all together.
Many of these people probably felt that since they had already bought the cement, they might as well try to build something.
So these people bought cement and started tinkering with it in their own homes.
Then, some clever people actually discovered the special features of this cement.
Some people built water tanks with cement, while others used them to prevent the roof from leaking.
As people gradually realized the benefits of cement, more and more people wanted to buy it, and Wen Lingzheng's workshop became very busy.
Then, at this moment, the cement that Wen Lingzheng had sent to the capital was also delivered to the emperor.
No matter what good things he had, he would present them to His Majesty immediately.
Once this item reached the emperor's hands, along with the accompanying letter, the emperor would naturally understand what it was.
The emperor handed over Wen Lingzheng's letter, along with the cement, to the Ministry of Works.
Officials in the Ministry of Works were primarily responsible for civil engineering and construction.
Their research in this area is far superior to that of Wen Lingzheng and Qin Ren.
So when they got their hands on cement, they immediately discovered even more uses for it.
Unfortunately, Wen Lingzheng brought back very little cement, just enough for them to figure out its uses. As for doing more, they could only wait patiently.
They are waiting for the emperor to issue an order. It is estimated that cement workshops will be set up in the capital soon, which will make it much more convenient for them to use cement.
...
Qin Ren didn't tell many people that Liu Qingyue was pregnant.
It wasn't that he didn't care about Liu Qingyue's pregnancy; he was mainly worried that something might happen to her.
Whether you are a pregnant man or a pregnant woman, you are more vulnerable during pregnancy.
If people find out too early, it might cause them to have other ideas.
After discussing it with Liu Qingyue, Qin Ren only told a small number of servants.
When Qin Ren told them, he specifically reminded them not to spread the word.
Once Liu Qingyue's pregnancy is stable, it's not too late to tell others later.
Afterwards, Qin Ren called his hometown and asked Qin Lianrui to come over.
Qin Ren originally wanted to find an older woman or aunt from the village to serve Liu Qingyue.
Liu Qingyue still needs to stay in the modern world occasionally, so Qin Ren can't be with her all the time.
Qin Ren was thinking of finding him a nanny, preferably someone trustworthy.
That way, even if Qin Ren is occasionally not around, Liu Qingyue will still have someone to take care of him.
But later, he worried that some of the older women were too talkative and that they might see too much and then spread Qin Ren around.
After thinking about it, Qin Ren decided to find a young man instead.
There aren't many young people left in Qin's hometown village these days.
Many young people have either gone to work elsewhere or are studying elsewhere and have not returned.
Under such circumstances, the village is left with either the elderly or children, and it is rare to see young people.
Qin Lianrui stayed in her hometown because her family ran a small shop in the town.
Qin Lianrui's father was reluctant to let her go out, always feeling that she would be bullied by outsiders.
It just so happens that Qin Lianrui is a small-time artist, and she doesn't really care about where she works to earn money.
As long as there is internet access in her hometown, she can earn a little money by drawing.
Qin Ren paid her a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, which was more than she earned painting at home.
She's just a small-time artist; sometimes she earns seven or eight thousand yuan a month, and sometimes only a few hundred.
Her job wasn't very stable, but when she heard that Qin Ren wanted to hire her as a nanny for a few months, Qin Lianrui was very willing to come and help.
Qin Ren paid her a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, and her main task was to take care of Liu Qingyue's three meals a day.
I forgot to mention that Qin Lianrui's family runs a small roast chicken shop. She takes after her father, and her cooking skills are quite good.
Qin Ren thought of hiring her as a nanny because he liked her cooking skills.
Qin Ren hired a nanny and also bought an apartment in the same community but a different building.
This apartment has two bedrooms, so it's relatively small and therefore very cheap.
Qin Ren bought it to house Qin Lianrui.
His home with Liu Qingyue held too many secrets; the upstairs room was filled with too many ancient items.
Qin Ren often returns from ancient times, so it's not very convenient for Qin Lianrui to live with them.
In addition, Qin Ren is a man, and Liu Qingyue is also a man on the surface.
It's not appropriate for Qin Lianrui, a young girl, to live with two men.
So I'll buy another smaller house here, and we can have the housekeepers stay here, so they won't discover Qin Ren's secret.
Qin Lianrui lives in the two-bedroom apartment and also cooks here.
When Liu Qingyue was in good spirits, he could go to Qin Lianrui's place to eat.
When she was feeling unwell, Qin Lianrui would bring the food to the rooftop.
The two sides are very close, and there is an elevator for going up and down the stairs, so delivering food won't be too much of a hassle.
When Qin Lianrui arrived in J City, she learned that Qin Ren had found a boyfriend, and a super rich one at that.
On the way back with Qin Ren, Qin Lianrui couldn't help but say to Qin Ren, who was driving, "You've really made something of yourself, managing to hook up with a rich guy."
Qin Ren reminded him, "He's ten years younger than me, and a little younger than you too."
Qin Lianrui: "Then, what should I call him?"
"Let's call him Xiaoyue."
"That's fine too. I usually call you Xiao Ren, so it's not too much to call him Xiao Yue according to seniority."
She added with a hint of regret, "I originally wanted to call him 'Mr.' I thought that since you were dating a rich guy, he must be older than you and a domineering CEO."
"Stop talking nonsense. Be nice to him when you're around him, and don't bully him."
"Okay, do you think I'm the kind of person who would bully others?"
