When Master Qin and Huanhuan met for the first time, he told Huanhuan that if she had any questions about business, she could go to the Qin family's branch in Beijing to find Qin Zhi.
But later he left Beijing in a hurry, and Huanhuan wanted to follow Butler Pei to catch up with him, so she directly handed over Baoyun Street given to her by Qin Manor Master to Qin Zhi.
Until now, Huanhuan still doesn't care about anything else except collecting the bills every three months.
Pei Yan thought that the person to whom Master Qin could entrust the capital branch should be a man over fifty years old with great experience in business, so he was happy to let Song Huan have some free time.
But he didn't expect that Qin Zhi was so young...
And the way he's dressed, he looks so frivolous no matter how you look at him!
Pei Yan's face became increasingly gloomy.
Song Huan had no idea what Pei Yan was thinking. Seeing his suddenly gloomy face, he thought he felt he had come to the wrong place and was too embarrassed to show his face.
Song Huan whispered to him, "This Qin Zhi is Uncle Qin's man. Who knows, maybe Uncle Qin really lives here. Husband, don't be discouraged."
After saying that, she took a step forward and met Qin Zhi who was walking hurriedly. She said, "Shopkeeper Qin, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Qin would also come to Mingzhou City."
"Marquis..." Qin Zhi bowed, then suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to address Song Huan as "Marquis's Madam" at this point. He paused and changed his tone, "Madam Pei, I received a letter from my adoptive father three months ago. After finishing my business in Chujing, I set off for Mingzhou City."
"But Madam Pei, rest assured. I have already made all the arrangements for Baoyun Street. Everything will remain as usual. The people from Chujing will still pay you an account every three months..."
At this point, Qin Zhi seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Pei Yan and then at Song Huan, frowning and saying, "I'd like to ask, how long will Madam Pei and Master Pei stay in Mingzhou City? If you two are going to stay in Mingzhou City for a long time, I would like to send a letter to Chu Jing..."
Three months ago, Song Huan was still in Chujing, so when Qin Zhi left, he instructed his men to send the account directly to Pei Hou Mansion.
If we were to send the account from Chujing to Houliang now, I'd probably have to go through a covert channel...
Song Huan was confused for a moment when he heard this, and his eyes blinked unconsciously...
Pei Yan was now very familiar with Song Huan's habits, and he could naturally see that his wife had probably never thought about how to arrange Baoyun Street and the Shen family's assets.
Feeling inexplicably cheerful, Pei Yan took a step forward to help Song Huan out. "Although Great Chu and Later Liang are currently at peace, this stability won't last long. If Manager Qin writes to Chu Jing, he can have the account books continue to be sent to Pei Mansion in Ning County."
Although the Pei family army had a lot of resentment towards Emperor Xiaocheng, they had deep feelings for the Great Chu.
Master Li and Butler Pei didn't want to leave Da Chu, but time has changed. They left home when they were young, and now they can't see the people they used to see even if they go back to their hometown... Going back will only add to their sadness.
Pei Yan asked Butler Pei to take those who were unwilling to leave the Pei family and did not want to leave Da Chu to Ning County.
Moreover, Pei Yan still handed over the Pei family's properties in various parts of Da Chu to the steward Pei.
"Mr. Pei is absolutely right." Qin Zhi understood and asked no more questions.
Although Pei Yan is no longer the war marquis of Da Chu, he is still himself, and Qin Zhi will not look down on him in the slightest.
However, Qin Zhi has always kept his distance from people like Pei Yan.
Therefore, after the Baoyun Street matter was settled, Qin Zhi did not invite the two into his mansion to sit down. Instead, he said directly to Pei Yan, "I know that Master Pei and Madam Pei are here to look for my adoptive father, but he left Mingzhou City a few days ago."
Pei Yan's expression tightened. "When will Manor Master Qin return to Mingzhou City?"
Qin Zhi was startled. "Does Master Pei have something important to say?"
"Cough." Song Huan coughed lightly, interrupting their conversation.
What's so important? It's something that hasn't even been discussed yet...
"Nothing."
Song Huan said, "I just wanted to come and see Uncle Qin. Since Uncle Qin is not here, we will take our leave first."
Qin Zhi paused for a moment and said, "Have a nice time, both of you."
Song Huan tugged at Pei Yan's sleeve.
Pei Yan was soothed by this, and pursed his lips and said, "Goodbye."
…
After leaving the Qin Mansion, the carriage stopped in less than a moment.
When Pei Yan found out the address of Master Qin in Mingzhou City, he ordered someone to buy a house nearby.
As soon as Song Huan entered the gate, he felt a sense of familiarity in this house. The layout of this house seemed very similar to Pei Hou Mansion.
She wanted to walk around, but Pei Yan felt that she had been too tired from traveling all the way, and insisted that she go back to her room to rest...
"Husband, you don't have to be so nervous."
Song Huan consoled him, "If a woman is pregnant, her body will react to some degree. Look, I've been the same as usual all this time. Last time...last time, I said I wasn't pregnant."
Ever since Song Huan had a dark history of popping fish bubbles, Pei Yan would never let Song Huan see the existence of the fish bubbles before sex. By the time Song Huan saw them, it was already too late to pop them...
"But my wife didn't have her period this month."
Pei Yan made rapid progress and could remember Song Huan's menstrual period more accurately than Song Huan herself.
Song Huan's cheeks flushed: "...Maybe it's too late?"
Pei Yan said calmly, "Even if it's late, my lady is usually only three to five days late, but this time it's already been seventeen and a half days."
Song Huan: "..." This guy might be poisonous?
However, after hearing what Pei Yan said, she couldn't help but feel doubtful. Could it be that she was really pregnant?
This question did not linger in my mind for long.
Master Qin was not in Mingzhou City, and Doctor You was with him. However, there were many doctors in Mingzhou City, so the next morning Pei Yan asked Pei Xi to invite the most famous doctor in Mingzhou City to come to the mansion for a consultation.
As a result, Song Huan actually succeeded in getting pregnant on the first try.
After getting the exact information from the doctor, Pei Yan became even stricter with Song Huan.
He was not allowed to do this, nor that. For twelve hours a day, Pei Yan wished he could stay by Song Huan's side every second...
As for Song Huan... there is only one word: bitter.
Unlike others, her body didn't react much during the first three months.
Except for the fact that I started to feel sleepy during the third month of pregnancy, there was basically no difference from before pregnancy.
But in the fourth month, Song Huan suddenly started to have morning sickness. She couldn't smell anything and couldn't eat anything.
In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight.
Pei Yan's eyes turned red with distress: "My wife, we don't..."
"No, don't even think about it." Song Huan glared at him fiercely.
What is this guy thinking?
I'm already pregnant, how can I give up?
Pei Yan didn't dare mention this again.
Ever since he went to the battlefield to kill people at the age of nine, Pei Yan has never been "afraid" or "dared not" again... All these cowardly emotions were suppressed in the deepest part of his heart, and he did not allow them to emerge.
But when he met Song Huan, he could no longer suppress these emotions.
Pei Yan fed Song Huan the medicine and walked out of the bedroom with a gloomy face: "Pei Chen, go to the Qin Mansion and ask the Qin family to deliver a letter to the owner of Qin Manor."
"Pei Shen, go to the capital of Hou Liang and secretly find the best doctor from Hou Liang to come to Mingzhou City."
The Pei family's roots in the Later Liang Dynasty were not yet deep, and given Pei Yan's former status, it was not appropriate for him to make too many moves in public.
Pei Chen and Pei Shen said in unison: "Yes, I will obey your orders."
But this day was already the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there were still three days until New Year's Eve.
When Pei Chen took the letter to the Qin Mansion, he learned from Qin Zhi that the owner of Qin Manor would return to Mingzhou City before New Year's Eve.
The author has something to say: Just... continue updating tomorrow.
