I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Zhang Dongsheng finally came back, and he's gone just like that? No way!

Yang quickly stepped in front of Zhang Dongsheng and said, "What do you mean, Third Brother? Aren't our parents your parents too? Isn't it your duty to be filial to them?"

Zhang Dongsheng frowned, "So what? I don't eat or live at home, I don't spend a penny at home, and I sent money back twice to honor my parents. Isn't what I have done enough? Besides, I am a bachelor and can't even take care of myself, but you three rooms have both sons and daughters, and even the eldest sister-in-law is going to be a grandmother, right? And my parents want me to be the only one to honor them?"

After saying that, he strode out. It took less than a cup of tea from the time he returned home to the time he left!

Zhang Lao Da was so anxious that his eyes turned red. Lao San must have money in his hands, but he was reluctant to give them a penny! He chased them to the gate in two or three steps and said, "Zhang Dongsheng, aren't you afraid that I will go to the government office and sue you for being unfilial?"

Zhang Dongsheng paused and said, "If you want to sue, go ahead." Then he left without looking back.

The Zhang family was dumbfounded. They had seen how much Zhang Dongsheng protected his parents in the past. As long as his mother asked, Zhang Dongsheng would give her everything and would never keep a penny for himself!

How come he has become so ruthless after serving in the army for a few years and coming back? Is he still holding a grudge against them for forcing him to serve in the army?

"Mrs. Zhang, what are you and your family doing standing at the door?" An old woman from the same village had just heard the big news at the entrance of the village. She was looking for someone to share it with when she saw Mrs. Zhang and her family walking towards them.

"You haven't heard yet, have you? There's an emperor in Yejia Village! Blah blah blah..." Before Old Lady Zhang could ask, the old woman started to talk to them with great interest. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she asked, "By the way, Old Lady Zhang, was your third daughter-in-law's surname Ye? Is her brother called Ye San'er?"

Old Mrs. Zhang had no interest in listening to the gossip she was talking about, but she didn't expect the old woman to talk about such a big piece of gossip. So she listened patiently. But why did the topic suddenly turn to her third daughter-in-law?

"So what?" Old Mrs. Zhang asked indifferently.

The old woman clapped her hands excitedly, and said, "Oh, it's true! You don't know that the founding emperor of our Qian country is Ye Saner!"

"What?!" Old Mrs. Zhang screamed in disbelief.

Ye Saner became the emperor? Then Ye Qiulan is the princess? Then her son... is the prince consort?

No wonder the third son, who had always been sensible and obedient, suddenly changed his personality. Oh my God! What on earth did the Zhang family miss? !

Old Mrs. Zhang was very emotional and filled with remorse. She rolled her eyes and fainted. The three daughters-in-law did not bother to continue listening to the old woman's gossip. They hurriedly helped the person into the house. They also felt mixed emotions in their hearts!

They never thought that Ye Saner would become the emperor one day!

The wealth that was once in your hands was lost just like that. Who could bear it?

Seeing the Zhang family’s big reaction, the old woman excitedly got up and left. She had to spread the news quickly!

......

On July 15th, we worship our ancestors.

Early in the morning of that day, all the members of the Ye family gathered at the ancestral hall. The tributes prepared in advance were placed on the table one by one. Ye Ze held three incense sticks in his pious hands and knelt down in front of the tablets of the Ye family's ancestors.

"I have no intention of taking over another body. I hope the ancestors of the Ye family will bless the original owner to have a good rebirth in the next life..."

After Ye Ze finished reciting in his mind, he stood up and inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner in the middle.

Then, the Ye clan members came forward and knelt down in order of seniority...

The family had produced an emperor, and all the members of the Ye clan were proud of it. Even this time, they were more pious than before when they knelt down to worship their ancestors.

Before, Ye Ze led people into the mountains for several days and actually managed to find several limestone mines.

After getting the silver from the cave, Ye Ze felt very well-funded. Since he was setting up a factory in his own name, he had to buy these limestone mines. After the ancestor worship ceremony, Ye Ze discussed the matter of setting up a factory in the village with Village Chief Ye.

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Ye was so excited that he could not speak clearly and agreed immediately.

All the things that needed to be done were done, and it was time for Ye Ze to return to Beijing. Old Mrs. Ye had not lived in the village for long yet and had to go back. For a moment she was reluctant, but when she thought of her pregnant daughter-in-law in the palace, she no longer hesitated.

Before leaving, Ye Ze asked Ninghuai County Magistrate Fang Shouchong to send someone to help Village Chief Ye plan to build a factory.

Fang Shouchong naturally agreed with confidence. Building a factory in Yejia Village was a good thing. Once the factory started making money, his political achievements would also improve.

After seeing the emperor off, County Magistrate Fang discussed the site selection for the factory with Village Chief Ye. This was something the emperor had specifically instructed him to do, so he had to cooperate with Village Chief Ye to get this done.

Zhang Dongsheng did not stay at home to get married and have children as Ye Ze said. He followed the team back to the capital from a distance. Even if he could not continue to stay in the barracks on duty, the money in his hand was enough for him to buy a house in the capital for his retirement. He just wanted to be closer to Ye Qiulan and it was enough for him to see her occasionally. He had no other intentions.

After Ye Ze returned to the palace, he began to deal with memorials every day again. Alas, he really couldn't understand what was good about being an emperor.

With sufficient funds, Shouhou Goudan bought almost all the limestone mines in Qian State. This made it much easier for the Meng father and daughter to build factories. In two months, Qian State built five cement plants with considerable output and began to sell them to the outside world.

This matter soon attracted the attention of the two countries of Xijiang and Nanyi, and both countries sent envoys to discuss the issue of trade with Qian State.

Ye Ze directly handed these over to Mu Heng to handle. There was nothing else to do. Zhao Li’s due date was approaching, so he had to spend more time with his wife.

During this period, Ye Ze almost always returned to Fengyi Palace to accompany her after the morning court session, and he also prepared some qi-boosting and blood-replenishing pills in advance to help her recover her strength quickly.

As for painkillers, forget about it. Painkillers only have a paralyzing effect and don't really stop the pain. If childbirth paralyzes the nerves, how can she push?

Fortunately, most of the officials in the court were trained by him, so he has to delegate power when it is time to do so, otherwise Ye Ze would be exhausted to death.

After entering September, the weather became much cooler. In Fengyi Palace, Ye Ze was leisurely drinking tea and playing chess with Zhao Li. Zhao Li suddenly exclaimed, and then frowned.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ze put down the tea, looking more nervous than her.

In just a moment, Zhao Li's expression relaxed and she asked in confusion, "My stomach hurt a little just now, but it seems to be fine now."

Everything is alright? How can it be alright?

There are still seven days until the due date. Will Li'er give birth today?

Ye Ze could no longer sit still, so he stood up and ordered the palace servants, "Come here, go and invite Doctor Xin and the midwife over, and you two go and invite the Empress Dowager, and the rest of you go out of the palace and invite Madam Shen and Madam Zhou to come in."

"Yes." A group of palace maids in Fengyi Palace hurriedly left after receiving the order.

Zhao Li looked at Ye Ze in surprise, "Husband, are you too nervous? It seems like the date hasn't even arrived yet."

Ye Ze turned around and supported her. "I'm just prepared. At worst, they'll have made a wasted trip. Just think of it as coming to see you."

Zhao Li: “…”
