Asen, who had become so obedient because of his father's departure, became active again. Tang Chunming lay down on the kang against everyone's opinions. All the family affairs were left to Chen Momo and his stepmother to keep him from getting involved. Li Feng is not here now. They were even more careful, and at this moment, Ah Sen was happily lying beside Tang Chunming, touching his mother's belly from time to time.
"Mother, mother, when will my younger brother come out to play with A-Sen?" No wonder everyone in the village thinks A-Sen is smart, such a young man expresses his meaning so clearly.
Tang Chunming's face was embarrassing, he really wanted to beat the little bastard's ass a hundred times a hundred times, he kept whispering the same words in his ear these days and asked again and again, he was still not satisfied after answering again and again, It looked like his mother was omnipotent and could make his brother come out of his stomach to play with him in the next moment.
"Where is Tayun? Tayun, get this kid out quickly!" Tang Chunming yelled outside the room.
Not long after, the sound of horseshoes sounded clearly, and after a while, Tayun's white head appeared in the room, with two black eyes, extremely agile. Tayun rubbed against Tang Chunming's hand, then opened his mouth in the direction of Tang Chunming's finger, picked up Asen again, and slowly walked out with his head down.
It wasn't until outside the house that A Sen screamed, because he was repeatedly told not to disturb his mother. Of course, asking questions is not an interruption in Asen's understanding.
"Bad Xiaoyun, bad Xiaoyun, I want my mother~~~"
Finally got the little bastard away, Tang Chunming fell on the kang and covered his head with the quilt. Bastard Ah Feng, he left such a... trouble to himself.
However, maybe it’s because of the experience. In the past few days, I have finally thought about it a lot. The little bastards left by the original body have all been born, not to mention that the one in my stomach belongs to Ah Feng. The meaning is quite different. . He wasn't really confused, of course he could guess what the Li family in the village thought. Although A Lin, especially A Sen, entered the Li family tree, they didn't think they were the real blood of the Li family. Besides, Ah Feng is willing to treat the two children as his own for him, so that he will suffer again... it's not impossible...
Just thinking about tossing about for more than half a year without being in front of him, Tang Chunming was still angry in his heart, and really wanted to arrest someone and beat him up.
Especially when I think about it, I feel ashamed. Based on the time calculated by Mr. He, it happened to be the time when the two of them were promiscuous in the daytime. understand.
"Mum..." Ah Lin came in with Chen Meme's hot goat's milk, and he was relieved to see that Ah Sen was not there. He was also annoyed by his younger brother's questioning.
Tang Chunming sat up, breathed a sigh of relief, took the goat's milk and drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth boldly after drinking, hum, he will have a baby, or live alone, what's the big deal, he Tang Chunming didn't pass any barriers. Seeing that Alin was also looking at his stomach expectantly, the corner of his mouth twitched again, he patted Alin's head and said, "Alin is still the best, let's go out and play, mother is fine."
After Ah Lin left, it was Wang Ying who came in. After Li Feng left, he often came to see his stepson. He was also there that day, but he stayed at home. It didn't take long for his stepson to be sent back. Fortunately, it was good. News, otherwise I will feel sorry for my brother-in-law who lives outside.
Tang Chunming was about to sneak off the kang and go out for a walk. After lying down for a few days, his bones were about to fall apart. When he saw his stepmother appearing, he froze. He turned his face slowly and smiled dryly at Wang Ying: "Mum, I Seeing that the house is a bit messy, I want to tidy up a little bit."
Wang Ying gave him a white look, and said: "Okay, Mr. He also said that you are fine, as long as you don't work too hard, go down, or I will become that villain."
Great, the ban was finally lifted. Tang Chunming was so happy that he hugged his stepmother, but when he saw the stepmother's face, he turned pale, thinking of what the stepmother said that day when he knew he had another one in his stomach, his face turned black.
That day Wang Ying stared at his belly for a long time before saying: "It seems that your body is prone to pregnancy, and this is the third one." The second thunder struck that day, which means, He and Ah Feng can no longer have sex indiscriminately, because his chances of winning the lottery are higher than others, isn't that right? Others say that it's a two-year-old two, and they are talking about his situation. It's been a few days, Tang Chunming still wants to cover his face every time he thinks about it.
&&&
A few days later, Rong Yue came over for drinks.
For the first time buying and selling alcoholic beverages, it is natural to be much more cautious. There are also people who specialize in wine tasting who accompany him, who can determine the level of alcoholic beverages and determine the price. However, Pingshan Village itself lacks such people, and it will take time to slow down. Slow cultivation.
"I know that you are alone without brother Li Feng, so I came here to accompany you." Rong Yue said so when she saw Tang Chunming. Knowing that Brother Li Feng is so powerful, tell me, what kind of expression will Brother Li Feng show when he comes back and sees that there are more people in the house?"
Now Tang Chunming has also gradually learned about this person's bad taste in private, and said viciously: "Get out!" After only a short time, he actually learned about his situation from other people's mouths.
"Haha..." Rong Yue laughed.
"Are you envious? Why don't you hurry up and have one yourself?" Tang Chunming also suggested maliciously, "You are the head of the Rong family now, so you have to recruit a man to be your son-in-law. Have you found a good one?" Tang Chunming When I get along with Rong Yue, I don't treat him as a brother, but as a man of the same gender, so I speak very casually.
This can poke Rong Yue's sore feet. It's not easy to find a favorite son-in-law in this era. He is not unpopular. There are many men who come for his status as the head of the family and the wealth of the Rong family, but then They are all crooked melons and bad dates, he can't possibly take a fancy to them. So after procrastinating to such an age, in the eyes of others, he is a very old unmarried brother. Speaking of this matter, he also had a headache, and complained to Tang Chunming: "It is so easy to find a satisfactory man. Well, the tribe over there sent their children to me one by one, hoping that I would pick one of their children to be the next head of the family to raise, and just for this purpose, they spread my notoriety outside and tried every means to obstruct it. My dear."
Tang Chunming patted his arm mercilessly: "Look slowly, not all men are so pedantic."
"Why don't I take your son as my adopted son?" Rong Yue suggested.
"Don't!" Tang Chunming shook his head and waved his hands in fright, "I don't want to recruit those Rong family members of yours. I can raise my son myself." Even if he is an adopted son, he can't be bothered by the secretiveness of the big family. They don't even want to get involved, although the adopted son's surname is not an obstacle to the dispute between Rong and the head of the family, but who knows if anyone will want to use this adopted son to achieve the purpose of getting close to Rong Yue, so it is absolutely impossible.
Rong Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing, there would be someone who would be terrified of becoming his adoptive son. You must know that Brother Li Feng is very skilled in martial arts, and he will definitely be able to make great contributions in this battle. The status of him and his children is beyond the reach of Rong Yue.
&&&
Tang Chunming went with Rong Yue to the winery and kiln to appraise the wine. Rong Yue brought two sommeliers, one with gray beard and hair, and the other a middle-aged man who was very respectful to Rong Yue. They also have great respect for Tang Chunming. The root cause is that they also tasted the wine Tang Chunming brewed last year.
Mr. He also followed, and he was also very interested in this set of wine tasting process. It turned out that he had discussed with others the pros and cons of various wines in his spare time in Beijing. Wine tasting, to a certain extent, is similar to tasting calligraphy and painting, and has risen to the level of art among literati and dignitaries.
Of course, wine tasters who serve wine merchants belong to the category of artisans.
The wine kiln is very spacious, and there are many wine jars piled up in it, and the arrangement is very regular. The wine from the same pot is put together, and the wine distilled from the first pot and the second pot are also used The paper was clearly labeled and everything was in order, with no confusion from the first brew.
Therefore, to identify the quality of wine, it is not necessary to open every jar for tasting, only one of them is required.
As soon as the wine jar was opened, the mellow aroma of wine was released, which was the result of the koji provided by Tang Chunming, which made people intoxicated after smelling it.
"Good wine, really good wine. After a few years of storage and then opened, the aroma of this wine will linger for three miles." The elderly sommelier praised it first.
"Then please taste it, master, how many classes can you include?" Rong Yue invited, and Li Zheng and others watched eagerly, and the few people brought over stared at the movements of the sommelier, and also pricked up their ears desperately Listen, among the few people brought here, as long as there is one person who can learn a little bit, it will be great, and he will be able to develop in this direction in the future.
The tools for taking the wine are also special, and different wine jugs are mixed up differently. The two sommeliers each took a small glass and took a sip slowly.
Tang Chunming listened in a cloud at the side, and how long it would take to taste one by one, impatient to wait any longer, and went back to the ground first, the smell of alcohol made him feel a little uncomfortable again. Mrs. Shen and Zhang Xiu came up with him. The two of them didn't think they had the talent. It would be great if they could learn how to make wine.
"I told you not to come, but I didn't listen. I think it's good. The one in your belly may be a little drunk in the future. How much alcohol smelled in Grandma's stomach." Fulang Shen teased .
Zhang Xiu burst out laughing, no, it really makes sense when you think about it, it would be nice to wait for Ah Feng to come back, Brother Ming gave birth to a little drunkard for him. Wang Mo also wandered in slowly, his belly was already visible, knowing that Tang Chunming had also put it on, he felt that he had a lot in common with him, but Tang Chunming didn't want to mention it at all, it's funny to hear this now, never After he was pregnant, he rarely had contact with the affairs of the wine shop.
Tang Chun understood the black line and gritted his teeth.
A day later, the grades of the drinks in the winery were announced, and Rong Yue brought up a list and sent it to Tang Chunming.
Tang Chunming took a rough look, and the results were gratifying. Rong Yue explained from the side: "This is divided according to the special class of the wine you make, so it cannot be confused with the outside. Now here are the first class..."
This year's harvest of sorghum is bumper, and more than 10,000 catties have been put into storage. The winery has not stopped since the sorghum was put into storage. It has not completely turned all the sorghum into wine. After all, the place is not big. It is completely manual, and Tang Chunming has to check the technical aspects, so the progress is not fast, but obviously the brewed products are high-quality products. Calculated by ten catties of wine, there are currently more than 200 jars of wine in the wine kiln Among them, there are more than one hundred altars of the first class. Except for a few broken pots that were rated as the third class, the rest are second class. That is to say, the first-class wines account for more than half. Tang Chunming contributed the most to this.
The tentative purchase price is also listed at the back of the list. The first-class drinks are fifty taels of silver per jug, the second-class wines are ten taels per jug, and the worst ones are calculated at five taels of silver. The price given is not low.
But Tang Chunming made a rough calculation in his mind. After all the food was turned into wine, the wine shop would earn tens of thousands of taels of silver by selling wine. This result made Tang Chunming cough uncontrollably. At first he never expected It will be so valuable, this is the real huge profit, compared with this, the industry of Quanyang Pavilion and Houshan is nothing.
With a smile, Rong Yue poured warm water for Tang Chunming and smoothed his back. When the wine was in his hands, the profit from it would more than double, so there was no need for Brother Ming to be so surprised.
Then Tang Chunming asked dumbfounded: "Then how much is a jug of my special wine? No, how much is a catty of silver?"
The reaction was quite quick, Rong Yue thought to herself, yes, the most valuable thing is the special wine in Brother Ming's hands. After the reputation is known, it is something that dignitaries can't buy even if they have money: "That's easy to say , we can discuss it before deciding, brother Ming, you can ask for anything." He looked like a profiteer.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it if you say that the price is not a loss, I don't have the energy to take care of these things now, and it's agreed, I will keep some for myself, give gifts at the end of the year and drink at home, so I can evenly There are not many people going out, who made Ah Feng not able to help at home this year, the family is too short of staff." Tang Chunming spread his hands.
Rong Yue gritted her teeth, there are still people who think there is too much money? So he bargained with Tang Chunming, and used his shrewd businessman skills to forcefully dig half of Tang Chunming's place. This still made him dissatisfied, but thinking that the remaining Ming brothers might have to send New Year gifts to King Zhao, think about it. Just let him go.
The wine in the winery was dragged away one after another by Rong Yue's people, and Li Zheng and others who were in charge of collecting the money were trembling, dry mouth, tongue, and heart beating wildly, and then pinched themselves hard. Not dreaming.
The money didn't stay in their hands for a long time, and they immediately asked the boy in charge of accounting to settle the accounts, and sent the money to every family as soon as possible. The big head is of course Tang Chunming here. Although the number is astonishing, if you think about it, the wine would not have been brewed without him, let alone this business. It is quite astonishing that what they each bought compared to the previous year's income. , hurriedly covered up the money and went home to hide it. Thinking that they would have such a large income every year in the future, these people laughed.
&&&
Not to mention the expressions of the people who got the money, and the mood of the people who didn't get the money. Tang Chunming's most important thing at the moment is to sit at home and conceive. Fortunately, the weather is getting colder. He is afraid of the cold and would rather stay in the cold. On the hot kang, and there are other books to read, I didn't think about running outside.
The Quanyang Restaurant opened as usual after the weather got cold, and it was still full of guests. Tang Chunming completely let go to Zhang Changming and Teng Yu. Just check the monthly account books, and the two of them would not bother the pregnant woman with things. The things on the mountain were completely taken over by Dashan, just like before Li Feng left.
But in this more and more leisure time, Tang Chunming will inevitably think about what happened to Li Feng, which makes him read every letter sent by the outsider carefully, in order to find clues and deduce that the current The situation in Daqing.
One month after Li Feng left, the foreigners who colluded with the King of Qi finally knocked at the pass, General Zhen Guo was awarded the post of Marshal today, and led the troops to the Gua Border Pass. At the same time, the king of Qi responded internally and raised the banner of rebellion to attack the capital. The military camp on the Dingzhou side quickly pulled out their camps to stop them. Although communication was underdeveloped in ancient times, even Pingshan Village knew about the rebellion between Bianguan and King Qi, because the battlefield was not too far from Dingzhou Prefecture.
Perhaps Tang Chunming should be thankful that the situation in this battle should be better than that of the battle with the Northern Man. Since the end of the battle with the Northern Man and the increase of troops to Dingzhou Prefecture, he may have been on guard against the current situation of the King of Qi. The deployment of the battle is ready, coupled with the elimination of dissidents in the court and the convergence of power, this battle is truly unstoppable, and no one can stop it.
As for the king of Qi who was ruthless in his fiefdom, Tang Chunming didn't think he could be as good as the emperor uncle who succeeded in seizing the throne on earth. Tang Chunming didn't know other places, but in Pingshan Village, no one supported King Qi's rebellion. Based on the people's support, King Qi lost.
At the beginning, Li Feng still had letters back, but when the news of the war came, his letters were interrupted, and only the letters from Rong Yue occasionally mentioned the border situation, and the letters sent by Rong Yue to Pingshan Village The interval was shorter than before, and Tang Chunming knew that it was Rong Yue's kindness, because he could only know a little about the situation on the battlefield outside through Rong Yue.
The court kept sending good news, and Rong Yue's letters also kept sending good news. General Yao wiped out more or less enemies in a certain time, and occasionally mentioned Li Feng's name, because his name also appeared in the letter sent to the court. On the good news. Tang Chunming didn't care whether he did meritorious service or not, he only knew that the appearance of this name meant that Li Feng was safe and sound, as long as this was the case.
In a blink of an eye, snowflakes began to fall outside, and Tang Chunming's stomach protruded as it was the end of the new year. After counting, he was pregnant in September, and it has been three months now. Not being able to return, Tang Chunming seemed a little depressed and listless. He was fed by Chen Momo and Wang Ying every day, but he didn't seem to be getting fatter.
Tang Chunming lay on the kang and listened to Ah Lin reading to him. Ah Lin knew a lot of characters now, and his learning ability surprised Tang Chunming. In modern times, he can be regarded as a gifted child. His mother read it to him, and he was able to read a few pages to Tang Chunming even if he was chatting.
A Sen went out to play in the snow, this kid couldn't sit still, and this kid was healthier than A Lin, Tang Chunming didn't restrain him from running in the snow. I went out and ran around, lifted the curtain and got in, bringing in a gust of air-conditioning, my little face and hands were flushed from the cold, but I was very interested: "Grandma, brother, snowman, snowman, and pull snow pry."
Alin's eyes also lit up. After all, he is a child, and he also likes such activities. Tang Chunming took the book in his hand and said, "Alin, let's go out with my brother too, and help my mother watch him order, but You can't let him run around."
"Okay, Mom." Alin consciously dressed thickly, took his brother's hand and ran out, and the giggles of the two brothers came in.
Wang Ying came in and asked, "What do you want for lunch? I'll make it for you."
Tang Chunming smacked his lips and said, "I want to eat spicy food, very spicy." I don't have a good appetite, and I like to eat strong flavors recently, but most of them are banned.
"Understood, just wait." With a flick of his head, Tang Chunming left again, and Tang Chunming came to his senses, huh? Mom agrees? Didn't you refuse to agree before? He also said that it was Mr. He who said that eating too spicy is not good for the child in the stomach, and Tang Chunming's resistance is useless. Tang Chunming clearly remembered that in his previous life there was a sour child and a spicy woman. Doesn’t this mean that pregnant people can eat spicy food? Why can't it work here? Thinking of my own taste again, I rubbed my stomach, could it be that this time it is the same little brother as A Lin? But he also likes to eat the sour ones, so what
At noon, Tang Chunming finally had a meal of spicy boiled fish as he wished. Now Chen Momo and his stepmother can cook this dish at home. As long as the fish fillets are well seasoned and seasoned boldly, the taste will not be too bad. What's more, everyone in the family loves spicy food, so a large basin full of boiled fish was eaten up by a few people in one meal, and Tang Chunming was so full that he burped.
Chen Meme and Wang Ying looked at each other, it seems that Brother Ming is not unable to eat, but wants such a strong taste, forget it, heavy taste is heavy, it is better than eating like a cat. It's good to lose weight.
Just as the table was cleared after the meal, people came outside. It was really unfortunate that the timing was too late. Naturally, there was no need for Tang Chunming to run out to meet people, he opened the curtain and looked into the yard, and it was Rong Yue who followed Wang Ying into the yard, why did he come here in this weather
"Why are you here at this time? You should be very busy at the end of the year, right?" Tang Chunming asked while asking people to come in. He was actually quite happy to see Rong Yue, and there was nothing wrong with his face. The heart is pressed.
When Rong Yue entered the room, she took off the fur cloak that was draped outside, and warmed herself by the brazier. This year, because she was not short of money and considering Tang Chunming's physical condition, she specially bought smokeless charcoal. There are completely two worlds inside and outside the house.
"Come and see you, and if there are new year gifts for you from the capital, I will drop by and send them together. They are all in the car behind. There are those from His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, and those from General Zhenguo's mansion. Here, this is List." He took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Tang Chunming.
Tang Chunming was surprised. These are all important people. How could he think of sending New Year gifts to his house? The New Year gifts on their side have just been sent out, because they are far away, so they go on the road early, and it will take some time to be delivered to the people.
"You just keep it if I give it to you, anyway, you don't give it away to these people, right." Rong Yue waved his hand and said, this brother Ming is also, and he still treats himself as a small person? General Zhen Guo's mansion came for Li Feng, and His Royal Highness Zhao Wang certainly did not have a reason. The things sent by Brother Ming's family throughout the year were not for nothing. His Royal Highness Zhao Wang certainly wanted to mean it.
"Uh, that's right, keep it as soon as you give it away." Tang Chunming was right after thinking about it, but he was speechless when he looked at the items on the list, and asked him again: "Have you eaten? We just finished eating, smelling it , the scent hasn't dissipated yet."
Rong Yue rolled her eyes speechlessly, she had never seen anything like this before, and said: "Of course I didn't eat, I was still on my way to your place at meal time, where to eat, why not treat me as a guest."
Tang Chunming endured a smile and called Chen Momo loudly at the door, asking him to help cook two dishes and send them over. The people who came with Rong Yue also prepared meals for them, Chen Momo replied over there : "Got it, I'm already doing it, you stay in the house and don't come out." It turned out that Wang Ying had already asked someone who came over, so the two of them in the kitchen had already started to get busy.
Obviously knowing what Tang Chunming was most concerned about, Rong Yue just kept his appetite and didn't mention it until he was full, and then he felt his stomach and leaned comfortably on the kang, and then told him what Tang Chunming wanted. : "Brother Li Feng won't be able to come back for the New Year, here, this is the letter he sent back from the border, I brought it for you."
Tang Chunming glared at him, he still had the letter, and he didn't take it out until now, you bastard!
Tang Chunming opened the letter and scanned it quickly. The letter reported that he was safe and said he could not go back, so he should stay at home. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but no one told Li Feng that Tang Chunming had another one in his stomach, so he still doesn't know that he is going to be a father again.
"It's so cold today, how can we continue this battle?" Tang Chunming glanced at it and put it away first, then read it slowly later, Li Feng didn't mention the situation of the war in his letter, he only asked the person in front of him.
Rong Yue shook his head and said: "It's a stalemate now, King Qi is useless, he escaped after a short fight, and fled to the territory of the foreign race, so although the foreign race temporarily retreated due to the cold weather, the soldiers could not Withdrawal, we have to wait until the next year when the ice and snow melt and continue to attack, King Qi will not be at ease if he does not get rid of the top, "
I understand that there is such an enemy in this world who competes with me for the position under my buttocks. If I don't completely eliminate him, who knows when he will appear again to make trouble. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well even now.
Tang Chunming sighed, and said: "Thank you for telling me the news. You said that this is the king of Qi. If you just focus on him colluding with foreigners, he will definitely be at a disadvantage. What is there to fight for? Even if you sit in the position I can’t sit still.” Is it really so easy to get rid of the alien heart? Just like on Earth, there are not one or two cases of foreign invasion of the Central Plains, especially the last braid dynasty.
Rong Yue sneered disdainfully and said, "If he could really understand that he wouldn't have lost to the current situation in that situation, but he refused to admit defeat."
"Huh? So he had the upper hand in the first place? Then why did he rebel? Didn't he seek his own death?" This person is so stupid, he can't kill the present, and he will take it when the real power is in his hands. What is fighting today? The more Tang Chunming heard it, the more he felt that this king of Qi was stupid. He was really looking for trouble, so his family Afeng had to go to war, and he couldn't even come back after the Chinese New Year. He didn't sympathize with him at all.
Rong Yue laughed straight, and said: "Not everyone can see through it. The more you can't get it, the more you want to catch it, let alone such a position."
"Well, we ordinary people can't understand the thoughts of these big shots." Tang Chunming nodded in agreement.
