It is said that childbirth is the highest level of human suffering, even in Shangguanqing, and there are bursts of screams in the room.
Zhou Zheng was wringing his brows outside, and he was very uncomfortable in his heart, and he wanted to go in for Shangguan Qing.
Looking at Zhou Zheng's expression, Zhou Qingli frowned first and then smiled, but calmly.
Liu Liuzhe was busy on the side, and from time to time he served Zhou Zheng and others tea.
There were screams in the room one after another. Where could Zhou Zheng calm down, he could only wring his brows and wait anxiously.
Not knowing how long it took, Liu Liuzhe handed Zhou Zheng a towel.
Zhou Zheng was taken aback, only to find that his head was sweaty, he took it and touched it, and said in an impatient tone: "How long will it take? Is something going on inside? Should I find a doctor? Will the midwife come? Do things..."
Zhou Qingli saw that Zhou Zhengzheng couldn't hold it back, so she said: "It's calm, giving birth is like this. If you don't have any stability, Shangguan can't hold it anymore."
The truth is this, but falling on people is another matter.
Zhou Zheng reluctantly took a deep breath, still wringing his eyebrows, his face sullen, and he was impatiently watching the midwife coming and going with blood.
I don't know how long it has passed, and finally a clear cry came from the room, and Shangguanqing's screams stopped first.
Zhou Zheng fiercely lifted his foot and rushed in, no matter who was obstructing him, or some unlucky nonsense.
The midwives may be used to seeing them, and they did not stop them after a few hurried operations.
A midwife was taking a bath for the child, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the second young master, it's a son."
Zhou Zheng glanced at the child with joy on his face, and then he saw Shangguanqing, whose face was pale and soaked in sweat.
Stepping forward and holding her hand, Zhou Zheng said softly: "Thank you."
Shangguanqing smiled reluctantly and said, "I want to see the child."
The midwife's hands and feet were very swift, and the baby was cleaned, wrapped, and sent to the bed.
Shangguanqing looked at Zou Baba, closed his eyes, and slowly moved the little guy at the corner of his mouth, with a smile on his face.
Looking at the mother and son, Zhou Zheng was completely relaxed, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Zhou Qingli and the others looked outside the door and saw that it was indeed okay, so they were relieved and left quietly.
The Zhou family was naturally very happy when Shangguanqing gave birth.
But the Zhou family is now closed to thank guests, and they are not ready to put full moon wine, which is known to those close to them.
Shangguanxun and his family came, and he was kind.
A few days later, when Zhou Fang came back from Yongping Mansion, the Zhou family gathered together, and it became even more lively.
Zhou Deshou and Zhou Jingyuan, the two little guys, surrounded their newly-born brother, lying on the edge of the cradle, their eyes wide open, full of curiosity.
Zhou Qingli wrote several names, Zhou Zheng and Shangguanqing chose for a long time, but still chose a word of'Shen', the name is: Zhou Deshen.
"Shen", probably because Zhou Zheng likes to take risks, which contains a certain deep meaning of Zhou Qingli. In addition,'Shen' and'Sheng' are homophonic, and there are many hopes in it.
The Zhou family is now thriving, and the whole family is surrounded by people, talking and laughing, it's so lively.
After lunch, Zhou Ding and Shangguan Qinghua took their three children to the side to talk, leaving Zhou Zhengsan and his son behind.
Zhou Fang is nearly 30 years old, and his face has a lot of wind and frost, and he said with a little annoyance: "Second brother has left his job. Many things are not easy to do. Not only the local government tried to add obstacles, but the court also continued to interfere. , Hejian Mansion shows signs of falling apart..."
Holding the tea cup, Zhou Qingli didn't have the slightest expression of surprise on her face, and said, "It's not bad if you can still keep the prefect of Yongping Prefecture. Don't ask for too much."
Although Zhou Fang thought the same way, he was a bit unwilling to look at Zhou Qingli and said, "Father, I heard that the situation in the five northwestern provinces is not optimistic?"
Fortunately, the year before last, Cao Wenzhao basically calmed Shaanxi, but since the second half of last year, bandits have been arguing everywhere, and there has been a spark of fire.
The gangsters moved from Shanxi to Henan, then into Huguang, spreading to Sichuan, and then to Shaanxi. These five provinces were upset. The number of gangsters soared to hundreds of thousands of large and small, and the court was terrified.
The'Governor of the Five Provinces' was established for the first time, and Chen Qiyu was ordered to supervise the military affairs of the five provinces and eliminate the bandits.
Zhou Qingli glanced at him, and said: "Don't worry too much, do the things in your hands."
At present, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are too worried about the chaos of the people, and Zhou Fang’s mood represents many people.
Zhou Fang had to look at Zhou Zheng again and said, "What are your plans?"
Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry."
If Zhou Zheng had said this a few years earlier, Zhou Fang would definitely have a few words of dissatisfaction, but Zhou Fang would not at this moment, he said, still full of sadness.
By now, Daming had already shown signs of faltering, and people who were worried and uneasy abound.
The three fathers and sons talked for a while, and then they separated.
Regardless of government affairs, Zhou Zheng had a happier thing, that is, teasing his son. Every day, Xiao Deshen was heard crying in the yard, and he was finally snatched away by Shangguanqing.
After the New Year, Chongzhen is seven years old.
During the Lantern Festival this year, the capital was still very lively, as if it had not been affected by the Northwest Rebellion.
Zhou Zheng, Zhou Fang and his wife took their three children, wandering in the sea of flowers in the streets and alleys of the capital.
It was not until the Lantern Festival was over that Zhou Zheng turned his attention outside.
First, they had a meeting with Cheng Kee, Shang Guanxun and others to set the development plan for the Zhou Chamber of Commerce in the next three years, and then began to discuss various issues.
Inside the teahouse in Wei Xizhuang.
Cheng Jingdao: "My boss, our business basically can't go on in the five northwestern provinces. Bandits are rampant, and some officials are more fierce than bandits, and they can’t feed themselves. The situation in Jiangnan is also a bit unstable, especially the salt merchants. At the same time, the Yang family’s attitude was a little erratic, causing all salt merchants to start to confront us overtly or secretly. The silver agreed to give us at the beginning has now been exposed to three outlets, and we will not give it from the beginning of this year, and will drive us away. People..."
Shangguanxun said with a sullen face, "I asked someone to investigate, and the Suzhou prefecture is behind it, and I don't know who it is above. If the Suzhou prefect is involved, it will be difficult to solve it even if Wei Gongzi goes."
Zhou Zheng didn't seem to hear him, he was holding Xiao Deshen in his arms, teasing gently with a smile on his face.
The little guy seems to have not slept, from time to time he chirps his mouth, chubby and very cute.
Everyone looked at Zhou Zheng and couldn't help but glance at each other.
Still Liu Liuzhe said, "Second Young Master, we have to find a way. These people eat people and don't spit out bones. If they turn back, we will have to be affected except for the sea trade, especially Tianjin Wei."
Hearing the words'Tianjin Wei', Zhou Zheng finally raised his head.
Tianjin Wei is not only a sea trade port, but also an important base for the manufacture and transfer of Zhou Zheng's armor and artillery. It must not have any influence!
Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Well, I'll arrange it, it's not a big deal. If you continue to plan, it won't affect anything."
Everyone felt relieved as they listened. In their impression, as long as Zhou Zheng made a move, there would be nothing wrong with it.
Zhou Zheng turned Xiao Deshen over, made Xiao Deshen lie on his arm, glanced at Liu Liuzhe, and said, "I asked you to find someone, did you find it?"
Liu Liuzhe was startled at first, and then quickly said, "I'm on the road. I should arrive this evening or tomorrow morning."
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said, "For other things, you can discuss specific matters and write down the catalog and show me."
Seeing that Zhou Zheng was about to leave, Shangguanxun was just about to speak, and was pulled by Chengji.
After Zhou Zheng had left, Cheng Jingji smiled and said, "Shangguan, the boss, it is no longer the former boss. Such trivial matters are not in his eyes."
Shangguan Xun was shocked fiercely, and this felt like he felt it.
This boss, his son-in-law, was already the fourth grade governor of Denglai last year!
It's not what it used to be! (End of this chapter)
