Chapter 311 Jinzhi and Song Jingning recognize each other
After Jinzhi's guess was verified by Ye Chutang, she closed her eyes tightly and squeezed out the tears.
When I opened my eyes again, everything in front of me became clear.
She looked at Song Jingning and Tang Wanning's identical features and raised her hand to touch them.
But when he was about to touch those star-like eyes, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
She was afraid of offending Song Jingning, after all, it was their first meeting.
Although Song Jingning had no feelings for Jinzhi, he grabbed Jinzhi's hand and let her fingertips touch the corner of his eyes.
He asked, "Do I look like my mother?"
Jinzhi touched the warm skin and her fingertips trembled slightly.
She nodded affirmatively, "Yes, the eyebrows and eyes are very similar, I didn't even notice it before."
When Ye Chutang and Qi Yanzhou got married, Jinzhi met Song Jingning.
But her attention was all on Ye Chutang, so naturally she didn't notice that their eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same.
Song Jingning smiled and said, "It's normal that you didn't notice it. Many people in Beijing have seen Chu'er and me, but no one would associate me with her."
Even if you think their eyebrows and eyes are similar, you will only think it is a coincidence.
After all, there are many people in this world with similar facial features.
Jinzhi held Song Jingning's hand in return, "How did the young master get to the Song family?"
She didn't ask whether Song Jingning was living well in the Song family.
Because she saw with her own eyes that the Song family treated the young master more attentively than their own son.
Otherwise, there would not be the world-famous Mr. Haoyue in this world.
Song Jingning briefly recounted how he was picked up by Song Mingyu.
His tone was calm, but Jinzhi was terrified.
It is easy to imagine how difficult it would be for a premature, weak, and strangled baby to survive if it was thrown into a river on such a freezing cold day.
"God has eyes, thank you, Master Song!"
After Jinzhi finished speaking, she knelt down in the direction of the capital and kowtowed heavily.
Seeing this scene, Song Jingning was somewhat moved and quickly helped her up.
"I'll call you Aunt Jin just like Chu Er."
"Okay, young master, you can call me whatever you want."
"Aunt Jin, tell me about mother."
When it comes to Tang Wanning, Jinzhi has a lot to say and talks about her past with great excitement.
Song Jingning listened quietly, his emotions fluctuating under his calm appearance.
It's a pity that such a good mother was ruined by the despicable and heartless Ye Jingchuan!
Jinzhi looked at Song Jingning's angry eyes and said, "If the young lady knew that her children were so outstanding, she would be very happy."
"Young Master, the young lady has already avenged the Ye family and avenged the young lady. From now on, you just need to live a good life."
Although Ye Jingchuan is still alive, his life is worse than death, which is also another kind of retribution!
After hearing Jin Zhi's words, Ye Chutang thought to himself, "If there is an underworld, Tang Wanning should have met her original owner."
She looked towards the capital and said, "Brother, when the situation in the world is settled, we will go back to the capital and kowtow to our mother."
Song Jingning nodded heavily, "Okay!"
"Now, our brother-sister relationship is not yet public, so it is inconvenient for you to stay in the Qi family's inner house for a long time. Let's talk about business."
"Okay, I already have a rough plan for the Jianhuating Academy branch..."
Ye Chutang also made plans in advance.
After the brother and sister talked to each other, they worked out the best plan.
Song Jingning stood up and said, "Chu'er, take good care of your pregnancy from now on, and leave the establishment of the branch hospital to me."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother."
"It's not hard. This can be considered as 'expanding territory' for the Song family. It kills two birds with one stone."
After that, Song Jingning asked, "Chu'er, besides the literary world, do you plan to go into business?"
The reason he asked this was that he discovered that Ye Chutang and Sun Chu were very close.
And Sun Chu represents the new force in the business world.
Ye Chutang smiled and nodded his head.
"My mother left me with a business mind, and it would be a shame if I didn't use it."
Song Jingning rubbed Ye Chutang's head affectionately, with a smile on his face.
"Chu'er, the real reason you're doing business is probably to control the economic lifeline of Beichen Country, right?"
Throughout the dynasties, although imperial merchants served the imperial power, they also had the ability to control the imperial power.
After all, the imperial merchants were connected to the Ministry of Revenue and were the purse strings of the imperial court.
Ye Chutang winked playfully.
"Brother is smart, I can't hide anything from you. You can earn money and gain invisible power. Why not do it?"
Song Jingning's eyes were filled with heartache.
"Chu'er, whatever you want to do, just go for it, but don't tire yourself out, it's not worth it."
"I understand, brother, don't worry, everything I do is within my ability."
"That's good. If you need me, please ask."
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Okay, I'm never polite to my family."
After that, she asked Song Jingning, "Brother, are you going to live in the Qi family or buy a house?"
"Buy a house. Rest today. I will look for a house tomorrow."
"Don't bother, I'll ask A Zhou to help you find it. It's in this alley. We live close so we can meet."
Song Jingning did not refuse, "Okay, then I will concentrate on the branch's affairs."
Ye Chutang nodded, "Jinzhi, send Young Master Song off."
"Yes, miss."
Jinzhi came back after seeing Song Jingning off, looking excited.
"Miss, I never thought that Mr. Song Wu would be a young master. Fortunately, he didn't grow up in the Ye family, otherwise he would not be so outstanding now."
Ye Chutang thought so too.
The Ye family’s roots are crooked, and no matter how hard they teach, they can’t raise good children.
"Aunt Jin, you just need to know my brother's identity, don't reveal it."
"Don't worry, young lady. I will never do anything that is harmful to you and the young master."
She kept the secret in the Ye family for more than ten years.
It was not difficult for her to keep a secret.
"Aunt Jin, go get some paper and pen, I'll continue teaching you math."
Jinzhi thought of the mathematics that subverted her understanding, and hurried to get paper and pen.
She had always known that the young lady was unusual, but she had never expected her to be so unusual.
What she thought, said and did were completely different from what she had seen and taught in Beichen Country, as if... she came from another world.
Thinking of this, Jinzhi quickly drove away the terrible thought.
No matter how different the lady is, she is still her lady!
***
When Qi Yanzhou came back after finishing his work, it was already dark.
He first went to the side hall to meet Chen Kui.
He did not mention a word about the situation in the court, and only said a few simple greetings.
"General Chen, we are both warriors, so you don't have to be polite to me. Just ask for anything you need or what you want to eat."
Chen Kui nodded and said, "When my daughter wakes up, I will definitely reward her handsomely."
"No need. My wife will receive payment for saving people. It's just a matter of money and goods. No need to thank me."
Qi Yanzhou left after he finished speaking.
Back at Tangzhou Courtyard, Ye Chutang was correcting Jinzhi's mathematics.
He glanced at Jinzhi who was learning with difficulty and wanted to say something, but did not open his mouth.
It's a fight between two people, so he shouldn't get involved.
Ye Chutang knew that Jinzhi studied very hard.
The reason she did not give up was that she had learned modern arithmetic, which would benefit her for the rest of her life.
"A Zhou, have you met Chen Kui?"
Qi Yanzhou took off his heavy cloak and hung it on the hanger.
"I have met him. Chen Kui was wary of me and didn't want to talk more, so I came back."
Ye Chutang smiled and fiddled with the wick.
"It doesn't matter. There will always be a time when he will ask us for help."
When Qi Yanzhou heard this, he knew that Ye Chutang had a plan.
He asked curiously, "What are the conditions for you to treat Miss Chen?"
"One hundred taels of gold."
"This amount of money is not much, but it is enough to empty the Chen family's coffers."
Ye Chutang nodded in agreement, "You are right. This year is a cold winter. We are short of food, clothing, and money. The Chen family can survive, but the Chen army cannot."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yanzhou knew what Ye Chutang was planning.
"When the Chen family army was at the end of its rope, they found that you were holding food and thick clothes, so they had no choice but to bow their heads."
"Yes, the Chen family has backbone and will not get involved in party disputes for their own lives, but they will compromise for the survival of thousands of soldiers."
This is a common problem among soldiers and it has been proven time and time again.
And it was not despicable that Ye Chutang deliberately emptied the Chen family's assets.
After all, Chen Ruoyun's life is worth a hundred gold.
Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang who had made every possible plan and said jokingly, "Is there anyone that Ye Chutang can't plan for?"
Ye Chutang thought for a moment and said, "I haven't encountered it yet, and I hope I won't encounter it in the future."
She likes to have everything under control.
Being invincible, you won’t feel lonely, but just feel great!
Qi Yanzhou sat down next to Ye Chutang, took out a brocade box from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her.
"have a look."
Ye Chutang thought that the box contained the New Year gift that Qi Yanzhou bought for her.
When I opened it, I found a transparent teardrop-shaped glass.
No, to be precise, it's a Rupert's Tear.
It is formed when liquid glass is dropped into water.
There are impurities in the glass, but not many and do not affect its light transmittance.
She picked up the "tear" and asked happily, "It's done? Is it in sheets?"
In addition to being busy with official business recently, Qi Yanzhou has been keeping an eye on Liuli and removing impurities.
Fortunately, after half a month of hard work, great results were achieved.
"The impurities have been removed successfully, but we are still testing the thickness of the glass to make it thin enough to withstand heavy snow."
If it is too thick, not only will the material be wasted, but the light transmittance will also be reduced.
If it is too thin, it will not have enough load-bearing capacity and will easily crack.
“The thickness of the glass should be determined before New Year’s Eve.”
There is still half a month left until the end of the year.
Determining the thickness is easier than removing impurities, and about five days is enough.
The reason why Qi Yanzhou delayed the time to New Year's Eve was because he had to solve the problem of making the thickness of the glass uniform.
Ye Chutang nodded with satisfaction. "It's not easy to make the colored glaze I want within a month. When it's done, give the workers some more money as a reward."
"Okay, I'll arrange it, don't worry."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he reached out to touch Ye Chutang's belly.
"Atang, when will you give birth?"
Ye Chutang calculated the days and found out that she was almost nine months pregnant.
If we calculate it in full, it should be around the Lantern Festival.
But twins are usually born early, probably around New Year's Eve.
"It could be between New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival. The midwife has been found. It doesn't matter when the baby is born. You don't have to worry too much."
Ye Chutang could clearly feel that Qi Yanzhou was rather anxious recently.
I can't sleep well at night and always wake up in the morning.
"Amyra has blessed the child. If nothing goes wrong, I should give birth at full term, around the Lantern Festival."
Qi Yanzhou was anxious because he had heard too many stories of women suffering from difficult childbirth, resulting in two deaths.
Although the power of the witch clan's blessing is very strong, he is still afraid of the possibility of something happening.
"Atang, tell me the truth, will giving birth be dangerous?"
These words made Jinzhi put down the charcoal pencil in her hand and look at Ye Chutang, who had become much rounder.
Ye Chutang didn't gain weight, but she had edema in the late pregnancy.
"Miss, you and the child will be fine, right?"
Tang Wanning's difficult labor was caused by a fall and premature birth.
But giving birth to twins is more difficult than giving birth to a single baby. Even if it is a natural birth, many women cannot survive it.
So Jinzhi was also worried that Ye Chutang would have an accident during childbirth.
Ye Chutang looked at the two people with worried faces and said with certainty: "I will definitely be fine!"
If she really couldn't give birth naturally, she could also let Qi Yanzhou perform a cesarean section to deliver the baby.
But at that time, her space might be exposed.
After all, caesarean section requires surgical tools and some medicines.
She had no way of preparing these things in advance and could only take them out of thin air.
Therefore, the person who least wants any accidents during childbirth is her!
Ye Chutang's determined look did not reassure Qi Yanzhou and Jin Zhi, and they were still extremely worried.
"Miss, you must be fully prepared. Isn't it enough to just find a midwife?"
Qi Yanzhou nodded in agreement, "Yes, we also need to find some female doctors with good medical skills."
Ye Chutang was somewhat speechless, "You are welcome to do as you please."
After saying that, she quickly changed the subject.
"It's getting dark. What are we going to eat tonight? Should we use the kitchenette or have a meal together?"
The second branch has been very well behaved recently, and Yun Feiluan and Qiuhua have not done anything naughty.
Qi Yanzhou knew that the second wife wanted to have a good relationship with the first wife so as to gain benefits in the future.
Therefore, he accepted all the kindness that the second wife showed to the first wife.
Because he didn't want to cause any unpleasantness and bring about a lot of unnecessary trouble.
As for the future.
The second wife will get as much as she pays!
Not a cent more, not a cent less.
Qi Yanzhou knew that Ye Chutang didn't like having dinner with people from the second house because everyone was acting.
They don't feel tired performing, but the audience is very tired.
"Just use the small kitchen. I'll go tell grandma. The second room must have already prepared it."
Ye Chutang knew very well that Qi Wenhua was a very shrewd businessman.
A distinguished guest came to the Qi Mansion today, and the second branch must want to make friends with him.
She urged, "Go quickly, and invite Young Master Song and the Cui brothers and sisters to have dinner at Tangzhou Courtyard."
Qi Yanzhou nodded and said as he walked out, "Call Sun Chu too."
"Okay, let's call Big Brother too."
Let's get together and talk about some serious stuff.
"Okay, you take care of the dinner arrangements. Ask Qingping and Qingan to get the ingredients you need."
After Qi Yanzhou left, Ye Chutang and Jinzhi went to the small kitchen.
There are some home-cooked meals prepared in the kitchen.
Jinzhi asked, "Miss, we have many guests tonight, so we need to make more dishes. These ingredients are definitely not enough."
"Aunt Jin, go to the big kitchen and bring back some vegetables."
"Yes, miss."
After Ye Chutang sent Jinzhi away, he took out some vegetables and fresh chicken, duck, fish and meat from the space.
Anyway, everyone has become accustomed to the existence of the "ghost thief", so there is nothing to hide.
