Chapter 924: Unstable Situation
Listening to Xiao Si's narration, Bai Yunxi was extremely surprised to learn that Mrs. Li was pregnant with her second child.
At this speed, I plan to have two in three years.
"Oh my god, my second sister-in-law is so lucky. She has a son and a daughter right before her eyes." After Zhang Yishan was surprised, she looked down at her belly, and an almost invisible hint of sadness flashed through her.
She has been married to her husband for a year, but there is no movement in her stomach.
She would have to find a doctor later to take care of her body so that if something went wrong, it could be treated early.
Bai Yunxi listened to Zhang Yishan's thoughts. This girl is only seventeen years old. What's the hurry?
If a woman gives birth to a child too early, it is not good for the mother. She will have to remind her later and show her attitude, so that her daughter-in-law will not be anxious.
However, it is still right to consult a doctor to take care of your body. Traditional Chinese medicine is warming and tonic, which can also be regarded as health maintenance for women.
"Tomorrow I'll ask Yalang to come and pick out a few smart girls and raise them up. I'll ask Xiaosi to take them back later. It won't work if no one at home wants to use them."
We should have prepared people a long time ago, but she delayed it.
Listening to Bai Yunxi's suggestion, Zhang Yishan immediately nodded in agreement,
"What mother said is that I will ask Ya Lang to bring someone over tomorrow. Mother will choose a few smart ones to stay and let Grandma Zhu train them, and then go home with Fourth Brother."
"This relationship is good. The second sister-in-law and the third sister are very busy every day. They are really busy taking care of the children, cooking and washing." Xiao Si nodded. Now their family is not short of money, so adding a few more girls is not a big deal. Son.
Thinking of this, Xiaosi glanced at Mrs. Du and her eldest niece, cleared her throat,
"Ahem~, when we went back, my eldest brother was ill. My cousin helped me to call a doctor. The doctor said that he was suffering from heart disease. He has been coughing for the past six months and looks depressed."
As soon as these words came out, the dining hall fell silent.
Baiyun Xi just paused and returned to normal. Maybe he was hit too hard and couldn't adapt for a while, so he got sick.
"No one will get sick if he eats whole grains. All he needs to do is see a doctor in time."
Regardless of whether the bear cub had reformed or not, she could not give him any affection.
Being able to take him in generously is already the limit.
Xiao Si listened to my mother's calm tone and smiled, "Don't worry, mother, my second brother will send him a doctor regularly. By the way, last month, landlord Wang's family had another 500 acres of land to sell, and Yalang asked us what we wanted. Don’t want to buy it?”
Regarding the matter of buying land, Baiyunxi has always been enthusiastic, "If the land is fertile and has no problems, we will naturally buy it. Our family will not be afraid of having too much land."
"Hehe... I thought so too. My second brother and I went to see it with Ya Lang. It's at the west end of the town, close to the water source and convenient for irrigation. The second brother also liked it, but he didn't have enough money. He said he was waiting for the summer sale. Let’s talk about food.”
Although he is in business, the land is his guarantee. As long as he has the ability, he can buy no more land.
"It doesn't matter, just bring the money when you go back." All the money in the family is in her hands, and the second child really has no savings except for seasonal grain.
"Don't worry, Mom. Landlord Wang learned that our family bought it and said he would keep it for us."
The fat old man was very shrewd. When he learned that they were interested, he came to their house with Yalang to make peace, with his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
Who is Landlord Wang? He is the biggest landowner in the whole town. He once broke two of his ribs when a tenant made trouble. Now he is able to speak humbly. It is all thanks to Xiao Wu.
Listening to Xiaosi's complaints, Baiyunxi trembled at the corner of his mouth.
"How long are you planning to stay this time?"
"It'll take half a month. When the duck gets used to it, I have to go back. There are so many things at home that Shuren can't manage it alone." Xiaosi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "So Mom, over there in the orchard I need you to take more care of me.”
Baiyunxi: "..."
She has gone through so much trouble, and yet she has taken on a lot of things for herself.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm already training people. I'll ensure that I have enough people in half a year at most." Xiao Si had a flattering look on his face, which made several people laugh.
"Mom, don't you want Ya Lang to send someone over tomorrow? Take advantage of the opportunity to choose a few more, and while Fourth Brother is here, let them train and train them for a few days. There should be no problem in taking care of the duck factory."
Zhang Yishan picked up the handkerchief, pressed it to the corner of her mouth, and suggested softly.
"You have to buy people anyway, and it will be convenient to use a few more."
"This is a good idea. We have to prepare manpower sooner or later. It's better to prepare early." Bai Yunxi's eyes lit up, and he held the contract of sale in his hand, feeling more confident when using it.
These days, if you want people to work hard, a life contract is their lifeblood.
After dinner, everyone moved to the hall to talk. Xiao Wu took a sip of tea and sent his servants out before looking towards Baiyun River.
"Mom, Senior Brother sent me a letter, saying that the atmosphere in Kyoto has been tense recently, and I'm afraid something big will happen."
The officials had not gone to court for half a month, so they directly ordered the three princes to assist in the affairs of the court.
In this case, shaking the court may be unavoidable.
Listening to Xiao Wu's thoughts, Bai Yunxi was stunned, the emperor was going to die?
"In this case, we have to be careful not to be taken advantage of." Wu Anren reminded that as long as the enemy's troops remain stationary, in principle there will be no big problem.
"I heard that there seems to be no crown prince today. Is it true?"
"That's not true. After the prince died of illness, the official family has not established another prince. Because of this, the atmosphere in the court has become increasingly tense. I wonder which prince can get the attention of the official family?"
The elder brother said in the letter that the Sixth Prince was favored by the officials, but compared to other princes, the Sixth Prince was the weakest. If anything happens to the official family, the Sixth Prince will not be able to compete with his royal brothers.
Last month, the resident feudal lord heard the news and set off to Kyoto.
It is not a good thing for royal children to gather in Kyoto unless it is an official birthday or a major national day.
Listening to Xiao Wu's thoughts, Bai Yunxi also agreed. There is only one throne, but every prince wants to sit in that position.
Once something unexpected happens to the official family, the throne becomes a hot commodity, and everyone wants to fight for it and sit on the highest position.
As for the relationship between father and son, brothers, friends, and brothers, they all have to stand back.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi dismissed all the people, leaving only Xiaowu and Xiaosi.
"Nothing is easy when it comes to royal matters. Pay more attention to Magistrate Liang, because behind that person is the Mu family. Prime Minister Mu's power in the court cannot be underestimated. If he takes the opportunity to cause a stumbling block for you, it will be impossible to guard against it."
In times of chaos and turmoil, no one upholds justice, and it is easy for people to step into the dirt.
"You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others."
"Don't worry, mother, I know what's going on." The senior brother asked him to pay more attention to his surroundings and stay calm.
Listening to Xiao Wu's words of "never leave the senior brother", Bai Yunxi was really curious about him. I wonder how the first student his in-laws accepted was so good in both character and academics?
Everyone in the official circles has heard about the unstable situation. Some are waiting and watching, while others are trying their best to find a way out for themselves. (End of chapter)
