When Zhou Zheng and his son confided in their own words, they naturally felt more comfortable and discussed some more in-depth topics.
Including Zhou Zheng's future plans, especially when to join the post again, as well as places such as Denglai, Zhou Zheng's subordinates, the placement of ministers, recent plans, and so on.
The father and son were talking in the study. Fubo stood at the door with a look of surprise and glanced at the room. In his memory, this was the longest time they had talked between the father and son.
It was not until the evening that Zhou Zheng came out of Zhou Qingli's study.
Fu Bo hammered his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "Second Young Master, you are more or less considerate of my old arms and legs..."
Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "Look at Liuzhe next time."
Uncle Fu also smiled, and then said: "By the way, the second young master, I heard that Liuzhe's daughter-in-law is also pregnant, did you know?"
Zhou Zheng was taken aback, and said, "I didn't say anything on the road..."
Fu Bo said: "I'm probably afraid that the second young master will spend money."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I'll ask him later. If Biqing is pregnant, I will take him back to the mansion. After all, they are familiar people, so it is convenient to take care of them."
Uncle Fu smiled and said, "I think so too, but this kid has gotten more and more ideas after he got married, and he no longer puts my old things in his eyes."
Zhou Zheng listened to Fu Bo's teasing and said a few words, then turned back to his room.
Seeing that Shang Guanqing was still asleep, she covered her with a quilt. Zhou Zheng thought for a while and went to his sister-in-law Zhou Ding to ask him about the details of raising a baby.
At night, Shangguanqing finally woke up.
Zhou Zheng hurriedly pressed her against her, holding a bowl of fish soup in his hand, and said: "Lie down and lie down, I will taste the fish soup I made myself."
Shangguanqing looked at Zhou Zheng and blinked. He was indifferent to the spoon beside his mouth, and said softly, "What happened?"
Zhou Zheng put the spoon in her mouth and said, "What else can I do when I am back? I asked my sister-in-law. You drink fish soup at this time. Bone soup is the best. How does it taste?"
Although Shangguanqing and Zhou Zheng have been married for one year, they have been together for six or seven years. Watching the straight man suddenly become gentle, with fish soup in his mouth, he still looks suspiciously at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng didn’t care about this, he was feeding carefully, and he kept saying: “I just asked for a few names at Dad’s, both men and women. I put it in the study. I will show it to you later. selected."
Shangguanqing hadn't spoken yet, and was again gagged by Zhou Zheng's spoon.
Zhou Zheng continued: "After the child is born, don't even think about going out to lead the soldiers. Take care of the child well, and of course I will accompany you. We are hopeless, but no matter how hard it is, I have given him thought Well, a lot of teachers, the real talents are both civil and military, you know Yang Minggong, at least it has to be that way..."
Shangguanqing listened to Zhou Zheng's rare words, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and then he drank the fish soup spoon by spoon.
When Zhou Zheng was busy in the mansion, news of his release spread everywhere.
From Chengji, Shangguanxun and others in Zhou’s Chamber of Commerce, to Wei Xizhuang, Cao Bianjiao in Tianjin Wei, Zhang Cunren in Dengzhou, Jin Guoqi, Huanglong in Dongjiang Town, He Kegang and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Zheng is not only their boss, but to a certain extent, he is still a backer. If Zhou Zheng is really accused of being accused, they will never get better. Now Zhou Zheng has not only been released, and the rewards to the military department have been distributed in full, so that they are completely relieved.
Zhou Zheng through the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, especially a lot of money, settled a lot of people and things silently, and minimized the impact of his arrest and dismissal.
Zhou Mansion closed the door tightly, and all matters were passed on through Liu Liuzhe. Zhou Zheng and Zhou Qingli did not see anyone.
Naturally, the front door of Zhou's house is also a horror, Zhou Zheng is in trouble, and the busy traffic of the past is already the yellow flower of yesterday.
By December, Zhou's family was a little nervous.
Shangguanqing’s expected delivery date was in December, and everyone seemed to be careful, much more cautious than when Zhou Zheng’s sister-in-law Zhou Ding gave birth.
Zhou Ding was busy, and the midwife entered Zhou Zheng's room and drove Zhou Zheng out.
Sitting in the pavilion in front of the house, Zhou Zheng and Liu Liuzhe were playing chess and talking about something.
Seeing that Zhou Zheng was a little absent-minded, Liu Liuzhe looked into the room from time to time and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, what the midwife said may not be accurate, and it may not be today."
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "I have a hunch, it's today."
Seeing Zhou Zheng's rare nervousness, Liu Liuzhe thought for a while, and said, "Second Young Master, Young Master Wei heard that he had made a lot of noise overseas. The Japanese pirates were very nervous. I heard that there was a big pirate. More than a hundred boats were sent to hunt Young Master Wei."
Zhou Zheng's attention was really diverted, and he said, "Is old Wei okay?"
Liu Liuzhe said, "It must be okay, otherwise I would have told the second young master. The specifics are not clear. Tianjin Wei's letter is vague, as if Wei Gongzi is very angry and is ready to fight back."
Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and thought thoughtfully: "Write a letter to the Dengzhou Navy and ask them to help."
Most of the Dengzhou Navy was originally abolished. It was rebuilt with the support of Zhou Zheng's money and food. It belonged to the General Army of Lushun and General Army of Dengzhou, namely Huanglong and Jin Guoqi.
If Zhou Zheng wrote a letter, the two would naturally not ignore it.
Liu Liuzhe hurriedly responded and said: "This year's sea trade has doubled compared with last year. There are more than 200 ships in Xiyi in Tianjin Wei, and the net profit is more than one million taels..."
Zhou Zheng said without hesitation this time: "I also made arrangements for Dengzhou. If it is dangerous, I can send the goods to Dengzhou and let Xiyi's ship pick it up in Dengzhou. This is relatively safer."
Liu Liuzhe replied. Seeing that Zhou Zheng was still a little out of his mind, he had to say: "Second Young Master, or else, let's go out for a stroll. You haven't gone out much when you come back this time..."
Zhou Zheng didn't have this thought. He looked at the room with the door closed, sighed slightly, then turned his head to look at him, and said, "Tell me honestly, is Biqing pregnant?"
Liu Liuzhe spared his head and said, "Biqing said, I'm afraid of trouble to the second young master, so I won't let you talk."
Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "You dare to hide it from me now."
Liu Liuzhe hurriedly said: "It's not the second young master. I'm afraid to cause trouble to the second young master. We are the servants, we can't..."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said: "Okay, go and pick Biqing over, and then go back after the confinement. That's it."
As soon as Zhou Zheng's voice fell, Shangguan Qing screamed suddenly in the room.
Zhou Zheng suddenly got nervous, stood up abruptly, and rushed directly to the door.
Before entering, the midwife pushed it out and said: "Second Young Master, you can't go in, just wait outside."
Listening to Shangguanqing's repressed pain, Zhou Zheng opened his head inward and wanted to squeeze in. However, the midwife had long experience and quickly closed the door.
Liu Liuzhe and others hurriedly pulled Zhou Zheng, persuaded, and pulled Zhou Zheng down the steps.
After a while, Zhou Qingli, Zhou Ding and others all came. (End of this chapter)
