I was engaged in construction in ancient times

Frightened by Duan Shubai's voice, Zhang Changle stepped back and shook his head, his eyes shifted and he changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the weather here in Lanqian is really strange. If it was in Xinyang City, it would already be snowing by now. Right, I think back when I was in the north, it was already freezing cold, how could it be as summer as it is now."

"People who are afraid of the cold are suitable to stay here." Duan Shubai joked, thinking of Xiao Yuhe who was afraid of the cold at home, he must have surrounded himself in a big ball at this moment, with the cold wind blowing outside, wrapped tightly in the quilt shrinking in the room.

As soon as Xiao Yuhe's figure appeared in his mind, Duan Shubai was naturally distracted by Zhang Changle's not so clever strategy of changing the topic.

"A few days ago, Fu Lang sent me a letter, saying that there was a light snowfall in Xinyang City, and that little fellow Tuantuan was not afraid of the cold, and he couldn't stop him from rolling in the snow."

Zhang Changle said with a smile: "That's an energetic little guy."

Duan Shubai twitched the corner of his mouth with a smile.

Zhang Changle asked again: "Has Madam given birth?"

Duan Shubai shook his head and said: "Not yet, it's at the end of the year, and I don't know if I can catch up with the birth of this little guy when I go back."

"The road is almost repaired now, and I will definitely be able to go back to accompany the New Year before the New Year's Eve."

Duan Shubai smiled, and patted Zhang Changle on the shoulder, "You too, Changle, come back with me, your Boss Ai must miss you to death."

Zhang Changle giggled silly, Duan Shubai saw his smiling face, and added, "Bring more pearl jewelry or something to coax the lady boss."

The corner of Zhang Changle's mouth twitched, "General, I didn't expect you to have the ability to coax women."

Duan Shubai gave him a funny look, pretending to be smart and said: "I don't have that kind of ability, the general is just trying to remind you of his own conscience."

"My deputy general finally got married to a good wife. If the marriage breaks down and he hugs my thigh with a snot in his nose and cries every day, the general will have a headache."

Zhang Changle sighed, "It seems that I really want to bring some pearls back, general, what kind of pearls do women like?"

Duan Shubai said: "The bigger the better, it can be used as a lamp to illuminate the best at night."

"..." Zhang Changle paused for a moment, and asked in a serious manner: "The general is talking about the night pearl? If you use this thing as a lamp, what should you do when you want to turn off the light at night?"

Duan Shubai was amused by his serious tone, and his voice was trembling: "Look, find a few pieces of black cloth and keep them aside. If you want to turn off the lights, you can cover them with cloth."

Zhang Changle: "..."

Zhang Changle asked rather puzzled: "General, how many night pearls did you give Madam?"

Duan Shubai waved his hand, "I don't have any, so you don't understand, my husband prefers all kinds of jade, so when you give something to someone you like, naturally you have to match what he likes."

"Follow what you like? That's right, but General, I don't know whether Boss Ai likes pearls or jade pendants more, how can he do what he likes?"

Duan Shubai: "..."

Duan Shubai turned his head to look fixedly at Zhang Changle, and said: "That only shows that your husband is incompetent. You see, Liang Feng knows how to send Shan Chen grilled fish."

"But General, I know Boss Ai likes all kinds of hairpins."

"Then you can order some pearl hairpins for her."

"But General, you said again that women like big and bright pearls."

Zhang Changle innocently opened his eyes wide and looked at Duan Shubai. Duan Shubai choked for a moment and hit him on the top of his head in anger. After thinking about it, he said with a stinky face: "Okay, Changle, you are actually Jealous of the good handwriting of this general, so I pretend to be a fool to play with me, don’t you see that you have practiced for so many years, but you are not as good as me. This is a matter of personal talent. Well, this calligraphy is for you, post it On your head."

A friend of women, a gossip king, came to him and asked him how to please women.

However, after a few words with Zhang Changle, Duan Shubai still had a little sorrow of parting during the New Year's season in his heart, but now it's gone, he packed up his things, and took his troops northward to Xinyang City.

After this period of governance, the southern part of Yangzhou is completely under his control, and he no longer needs to sit here personally. All the main construction plans are basically completed, and other minor details are not important.

Duan Shubai said in his heart, Xiao Yuanyuan, who has not yet been born in his family, must wait for his father to come back before coming out.

Xinyang City, Duan Mansion.

It was already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and in the last few days of the end of the year, there was neither rain nor snow in Xinyang City. Qiu Ran walked around in the yard.

The gray and white spots on his face have faded, revealing a beautiful and smooth face. The black hair on the top of his head is neatly combed, and the black hair with a faint medicinal fragrance is scattered on his shoulders. Thick white fox fur, black and shiny hair intertwined with white fox fur, made his features even more picturesque.

From the appearance, he doesn't look like a pregnant person at all, but more like a leisurely and elegant young man playing and enjoying in the courtyard. Behind him, Qiu Ran is wearing a blue padded jacket, the elegant color is like green bamboo, Behind them were two servant girls and three old ladies.

The child in his womb is not yet full-term, but this child must not be full-term, Xiao Yuhe gently touched his stomach, lying on the bed for so many days, people are lazy.After stopping the medicine, he has to go out for a walk every day, which is also good for the child's delivery.

"My lord, Qiu Ran is here to support you." Qiu Ran stepped forward and tried to wrap her arms around Xiao Yuhe.

Xiao Yuhe shook his head with a smile, "I don't need your support, I can walk by myself."

Seeing that Xiao Yuhe was not willing, Qiu Ran gave up, looking at Xiao Yuhe who was looking very good today, couldn't help but smiled and said: "Young Master is in a good mood today."

"Yeah, I'm in a good mood today, Qiu Ran, help me see, has the wind messed up my hair?"

Qiu Ran shook her head, "Don't worry, my lord, we are all going to the leeward places."

"Young master, the general said in the letter that you won't arrive until the [-]th day. You have washed and dressed so early, and the general won't be able to see you."

Compared with Xiao Yuhe, who was more and more lazy on weekdays, today's him can be said to be well-dressed.

Hearing Qiu Ran's question, Xiao Yuhe plausibly said: "But what if he comes back early? I was prepared for any danger. It was a big mistake for him to bump into me at that time last time. This time your family You are smart."

"Definitely let him see the incomparably gorgeous and handsome husband, not the ugly husband with spots on his face and disheveled clothes."

Qiu Ran said: "Young master, no matter how my uncle sees you, he likes you."

Xiao Yuhe half-closed his eyes and pursed his lips, said, "He likes it, but do you want my face? I just don't like that I don't look good in front of him."

"Especially the way he saw me last time, this time I want to surprise him and forget my appearance last time."

"Hey, Qiuran, do you think your uncle has a good memory?"

Qiu Ran couldn't help but looked up at the sky, there was a vast white gray cloud in the sky, and murmured: "It should be the one, um, okay."

Xiao Yuhe raised his nasal voice, "Huh?"

Qiu Ran coughed, "I heard that the older you get, the easier it is to have a bad memory. See, I always forget things now, how can I compare to when I was a few years ago."

This time Xiao Yuhe finally nodded in satisfaction, rubbed his forehead, and said softly: "Recently, I also have a bit of a bad memory. When your uncle left last time, I didn't find out that I was pregnant. Right Well, I just remember the morning when he left, I carried Xiao Tuantuan to see him off..."

Qiu Ran choked on her own saliva, "Yes, yes, my son still remembers, Qiu Ran almost forgot."

Qiu Ran actually wanted to say very much, son, you can only deceive yourself by deceiving yourself like this! ! ! ! ! !

"Speaking of Tuantuan, where did that little chubby go to play today?" Xiao Yuhe asked with a smile how his eldest son was doing.

Qiu Ran said: "Just now I was playing with building blocks in my room, but when I got tired from playing, I fell asleep on my stomach. It's time to wake up now."

Xiao Yuhe touched his stomach tenderly, "This little chubby, just eat and sleep when you are full, and eat when you are full... the little guy in your stomach, will you be the same as your brother in the future?"

The second baby in his stomach didn't give him any response. Compared with the violent fetal ADHD group, this child is much quieter and lazy, like a hibernating animal in winter. Occasionally, when he has enough sleep and turns over, he remembers to let the little one turn over. Move your arms and legs.

Xiao Yuhe felt that it was a pity that his husband had never felt Yuanyuan's fetal movement this time.

He hasn't touched it himself...

Before his family Yuanyuan was born, it was a sign that she would grow up to be a chubby little boy who didn't like to move?

"Why doesn't this child like to move?" Xiao Yuhe murmured a question.

Qiu Ran smiled and said, "Second Young Master is more obedient."

"It's good to be good, maybe Yuanyuan is the gentle and beautiful Mr. Pianpianjia in my mind." Xiao Yuhe snickered, then touched his stomach and sighed: "I thought this little dumpling would be around twenty-two twenty-three." I was born, I didn't expect there is no movement yet, judging from the current appearance, I guess it will take a few days."

"I still thought that my husband would not be able to catch up with the birth of this child. Now, I will definitely be able to catch up."

Qiu Ran laughed along with him, "The general will definitely catch up. Master Yuanyuan is waiting for Daddy to come back."

"You're right, this kid is waiting for his father, by the way, come with me to see that little fellow Tuantuan." Xiao Yuhe squeezed his waist, saying that he wanted to see Xiao Tuantuan.

"Qiu Ran, help me up."

Qiu Ran hesitated and said, "My lord, why don't we sit here and rest for a while, you have traveled twice as much today as you did in the past."

"It's okay, I can still walk, but it's better to sit for a while."

"Tuantuan's house is not far from here, let's go there first and then rest."

Xiao Yuhe thought of the stupidity of his eldest son, with a gentle smile in his eyes, with Qiu Ran's support, he took a few steps forward, just about to say "don't help me" to Qiu Ran, but he didn't say anything , There was a pain in my stomach that gradually spread.

It was like a stone was falling from my belly.

Xiao Yuhe stopped on the spot, clutched his stomach, and exclaimed, "It hurts so much."

Qiu Ran hurriedly asked some women to come up to support Xiao Yuhe. The experienced woman saw Xiao Yuhe's appearance and shouted: "This is about to give birth, call someone quickly."

"Go and call Mrs. Ping!"

"Go and inform the old lady!"

Xiao Yuhe was carried into the delivery room, and the carefully dressed new clothes were taken off. Xiao Yuhe touched his stomach, endured the pain, and said to the child in his stomach with infinite grievances: "You can't be late. Are you out for a day or two?"

Big and small, all are not worry-free.
