Before going to bed at night, Qiu Henian helped Qingyan apply anti-pregnancy mark oil. Qingyan's limbs were limp on the bed, humming a tune.
When Qiu Henian applied it, he could feel the occasional slight response from the bulging pregnant belly, as if the sleeping little Douzi inside was awakened, and the movements of his hands became lighter.
After the application was finished and the quilt was covered, Qingyan stood up again and sat across from Qiu Henian. Without saying a word, he reached for his waistband.
Qiu Henian subconsciously raised his hand, then quickly put it down, letting him move.
Qing Yan lowered his head, Qiu Henian closed his eyes, sighed deep in his throat, and raised his hand to stroke Qing Yan's forehead.
After a while, Qingyan looked up at him with wet lips, white teeth, red tip of tongue, and moist eyes. He complained: "Why are you sitting upright and leaning back like this?" I have a stomachache."
Qiu Henian's eyes stayed on his lips, he put his hands under his armpits, picked him up, lowered his head and kissed him while adjusting his position.
He sat on the edge of the bed, put Qingyan on the ground, and helped him put on his shoes. This time Qingyan had no objection, squatted down, and continued what he was doing.
Qingyan's endurance was not good now, and he got tired after a while and couldn't squat anymore. Qiu Henian took him back to the bed, kissed him, and took care of it himself.
After finishing the work, Qiu Henian got out of bed, cleaned himself up, and then went back to bed. Qingyan was so sleepy that he yawned, so he leaned over and lay next to him, and soon fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Qiu Henian was awakened by gentle sobbing. When he opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong.
He was lying on his side, and his clothes were lifted to one side, exposing most of his back. He was suddenly startled, and subconsciously wanted to pull the clothes up, but his wrists were held by delicate and soft hands. Qingyan sat behind him. Then he choked and said, "I just feel something is wrong, and you're still hiding it from me!"
Qiu Henian quickly sat up and pulled up his clothes, but Qingyan stubbornly pulled them away for him. After going back and forth several times, Qingyan cried harder and said, "It's like that on your back, doesn't it hurt? ? I am just a fool, how could I come out unscathed in a place like that!"
Qiu Henian wanted to hug him, but Qingyan refused. The man held him firmly on his lap. Qingyan carefully hugged his neck, lowered her head and came close to the back of his collar, and blew gently into it. Angry, crying and saying: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
Qiu Henian felt sour, hugged him, shook him, and said, "I've checked with my old doctor. He's fine. I don't intend to hide it from you. I'm just afraid that your mood for recovery will be affected."
Qingyan looked up at him, her face tense, "Is there any injury? Don't hide it from me!"
Qiu Henian shook his head, "It's really gone. There was someone from Qiu Yan in the prison. He just wanted me to die and didn't want to torture me."
After Qingyan became pregnant, his emotions were particularly sensitive, and he would cry aggrievedly over the smallest things. Before something happened to Qiu Henian, he hardly shed tears. He gritted his teeth and just wanted to get there as soon as possible. In the capital, I found Qiu Yan. Now that he is relaxed, he can no longer hold back.
Qiu Henian coaxed him for a while, and Qingyan gradually calmed down.
Qiu Henian put him back on the bed, wiped his tears, and helped him lie down.
Qingyan lay down, then remembered what he wanted to do, and sat up again. His face turned red and he said, "I...I haven't relieved myself yet!"
Qiu Henian smiled, touched his cheek and said, "Wait, I'll get the bucket."
...
Qiu Yan left, taking Yang Huai and the county magistrate who were imprisoned in the prison with him.
Generally speaking, even death row prisoners are sentenced locally and executed, but Yang Huai's case had a large number of victims and lasted for a long time.
There are many people indirectly related to this matter, including family members and servants of the Yang family, and it is not just the Muling County magistrate who is involved.
The whole county was in uproar over this for a long time, and the impact was huge, so Qiu Yan escorted the prisoner back to the capital.
In addition to these people, there are also people like Liu Yongfu and Zhang Ju who, for the sake of profit, gave false testimony on behalf of Yang Huai and aided the tyranny. Such criminals will be dealt with locally.
According to the regulations of the current dynasty, they were all sent to the northern border for exile.
This couple got a lot of money from Liu Fa. They could have lived a good life back home, but they were greedy and went all the way back to Muling County, and ended up like this.
Liu Yong was not involved in this matter. He was beaten badly by Yang Huai before, but he should be fine after being raised for so long. However, his parents were exiled and they were taken away crying for their father. He had no face at all. Exposed.
When Ren Xiao and his wife came to visit their mother-in-law, they chatted with Qiu Henian for a long time.
He just had a drink with the county government clerk a few days ago. According to that person, Yang Huai was also very dishonest when he was in the county government prison.
At the beginning, he might have been lucky, looked arrogant, and didn't pay much attention to the government officials in the prison.
Later, after the county magistrate was also arrested, Yang Huai realized that this time he might really be doomed.
He cursed like a lunatic every day, scolding his parents, the people he killed, the county magistrate, and Qiu Henian.
It is said that the Yang family spent a lot of money and traveled around asking for help in order to get him.
But this time is different from the past. The case is being investigated by high-ranking officials sent by the emperor himself. Whoever dares to interfere is asking for trouble and getting killed?
Therefore, except for those who took advantage of the situation to rob and defraud money, the Yang family could not even give away the money, let alone find anyone to help.
But it's not all bad.
The prisoners were all taken away, and the Yang family could no longer cover the sky with one hand. The "Huaiyang Ji" in the county teahouse was directly renamed "Yang Huaiji" and began to be recited enthusiastically again.
The teahouse was packed every day, and both the shopkeeper and the storyteller took the opportunity to make a fortune.
It can be said that some families are sad and some are happy.
...
Qingyan's body was almost recovered, so he went to Xiangyunfang every day to be busy as usual.
During his absence, Aunt Li and Qiuniang were a little bit in a hurry, but Qingyan had arranged things properly, done everything that could be done in advance, and the process was clear, so they didn't fall behind on what they should do. , the management is also impressive.
When he returned to the store, he discussed with them about hiring people.
It was agreed that Qingyan was not in a hurry to go to the town the next day, but went to Dadi.
The fields of the villagers in Liuxi Village are scattered at the foot of the mountains around the village.
The crops in the fields are growing vigorously in this season. When you look up, you will see green crops.
Qingyan walked into a corn field. The corn stalks were not too high now, and he could see the people busy in it at a glance.
Qingyan called out: "Sister-in-law."
The sun was so intense that it was hard to keep one's eyes open. Shen Wen raised his head and squinted to look over. When he saw it was Qing Yan, he was pleasantly surprised when he walked through the corn stalks and walked over.
When he got closer, he looked at Qingyan and said, "I see you look much better. How have you been these past few days? Have you recovered well?"
Qingyan nodded, "I'm fine. I'm lucky to have you on this trip to and from the capital. Otherwise, I might not be able to survive. Thank you."
Shen Wen waved his hand and said: "You and your second brother took care of me a lot in the past. I always felt that I owed it, but I couldn't repay it. This time I can help a little, and I feel more at ease. You're welcome." ."
Qingyan smiled, looked at the field behind him, and said, "Is all the corn planted in the field this year?"
Shen Wen also looked back and said: "Most of it is corn, and some vegetables are also planted. From summer to autumn, you don't have to buy vegetables yourself."
Qingyan settled the accounts and said, "You have been busy all year long, and you have enough to eat and drink by yourself."
Shen Wen smiled bitterly and said, "That's it. Besides, I can add some cotton clothes in winter. I can only do so much if I get up early and stay late at night. If there is little land to hire people, there will be nothing left."
Qingyan looked at him and asked tentatively: "Xiangyunfang is currently short of a storekeeper. He can't make much money, but it is still much more than the income from your land, and he doesn't have to work so hard. Would you like to come?"
Shen Min opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked down at herself, "I...can I do it?"
Qingyan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll teach you, and you'll get started in a few days. You look good, and you're wearing the clothes and jewelry in the store, and you can even help me carry the goods!"
Shen Wen rubbed his hands in embarrassment, lowered his head and curled up his mouth to smile. But after a while, he seemed to have thought of something again, and his expression became tense again. He looked at Qingyan and said, "You are because of me this time." You only want mine to accompany you to the capital, right? I'd better not go to the store, I can live on, and I don't want to cause you any more trouble."
Qingyan held his hand and said sincerely: "That's the reason, but the store really needs manpower."
Shen Wen looked at him, hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't do a good job, just fire me."
Qingyan nodded and agreed.
Shen Min said: "Okay, I'll go with you."
