The clothes were thin and the collar was wide, and his chest was heaving with anger. Qin Xiuyuan felt a heat in his nose and turned his head away in a hurry. The man was very angry. Wangshu didn't even look at him and directly pushed away the man who was panting heavily and was about to explode his equipment.

Qin Xiuyuan was humming beside him from time to time. This happened every day, and Wangshu felt numb to it.

After picking lotus flowers once, he interspersed them with various wild flowers. I asked him if it was not on his way or if he just passed by and thought the wild flowers were particularly beautiful. In short, he only picked lotus flowers that time.

Wangshu didn't ask the third time. He asked someone to prepare a car and planned to pick the fruits himself the next day.

Everyone advised.

Qin Xiuyuan went home and tried to persuade him, but Wangshu spoke first as soon as he opened his mouth: "The old doctor won't let me go out?"

Not really.

"Shushu, there are so many people that it's easy for you to get bumped into. The road is also not smooth, and the carriage is bumpy."

Wangshu scratched the account book and looked at the man who was guzzling bitter lotus seed tea. "Ten months of pregnancy, one month of confinement, and a year of breastfeeding, and you just washed me up. You look so bloody every day. How about this, if you can stay still for two years, I can stay home for two years."

After saying this, without waiting for anyone to speak, he asked someone to bring water for bathing.

The woman did not avoid Chun Yang. As soon as he came in with water, she loosened her collar and went into the inner room, holding her belly.

Qin Xiuyuan hurriedly followed him in. Chun Yang, who was putting on clothes, bent his knees and stepped back. He picked up the woman beside him, whose skin was as smooth as cream and round as jade, and kissed her, "Shu Shu, I'll go with you tomorrow."

When it was the man's turn to groan, the woman, who usually sat still like a god, finally generously offered a helping hand...

"Why can't you just hold back..."

"How can I bear it!" Qin Xiuyuan, who used to eat meat almost every day, felt aggrieved. What man can bear it with his wife? Is he really a man?

Anyway, Qin Xiuyuan himself couldn't bear it at all!

The next day, there was a gentle breeze.

The lotus leaves are infinite, and the lotus flowers are different.

Wangshu, supported by the driver's shoulders, was carried down from the carriage. The scent of greenery greeted her: red lotuses, pink buds, small green buds. The lotuses never bloomed at the same time, but she arrived not too late. Compared to this magnificent spectacle, Wangshu, who had been enjoying the wildflowers and weeds along the way, was struck by a realization: trapped at home for three months by this lump of flesh, her horizons had become so limited that even Ji Laoer would look down on those childish wildflower arrangements.

She couldn't go to the fields, but Qin Yi picked the flowers wherever she pointed. The old farmers' initial surprise suddenly turned into fear, and they hurriedly followed her to persuade her: "Boss Ji, flowers bloom and bear fruit. Blooming flowers means bearing fruit. Besides, you are pregnant now. You should pity your child, not pick flowers!"

This Lianzi is not that Lianzi, she could tell. The man next to her was so fooled that he nodded.

Wangshu bent down and sniffed the freshest lotus, feeling refreshed. The old farmer was quite good at fooling people. He pointed to a light pink flower in the distance and motioned for them to pick it. "Old farmer, I have hundreds of thousands of lotus flowers, all mine and for my use. But I love my children. Every flower grows a lotus pod, and every lotus pod has a bunch of seeds. How can anyone give birth to eleven, twelve, thirty, or four children at once?"

She would never compare herself to a sow, who gave birth to many offspring.

The old farmer was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Qin Xiuyuan acted as if he knew the old farmer would retreat unreasonably, but he didn't expect the woman to say it like this. It was absurd but unique, ridiculous and impeccable.

Tang Bo even silently took a few steps away from the two of them.

A woman who is pregnant is both kind and compassionate. Well, that's not quite right.

Fortunately, he was willing to turn back after picking five flowers. The maid wiped the table and benches, but someone sneaked up and sat down first. Han Batian waved his folding fan with a "swish". He was tall and strong, wearing a gray robe and looked very stylish. When he saw the person holding the flowers slowly coming back, he smiled before saying a word: "My sister-in-law is pregnant. Big brother finally sees you in person! You are getting more and more beautiful!"

Wangshu sat down on the other side, and Qin Xiuyuan, who had no stool to sit on, stood on one side, looking like a tall guard.

"Brother Han is more handsome and pleasing to the eye."

He quickly put away his folding fan, straightened his waist and pulled in his stomach, looking very confident. But when he opened his mouth, he was completely defeated: "Back in the mountains, so many women fainted in front of me, I can't even count them all."

Wangshu stood up again, looking down at the distance from above, and replied, "People who don't eat enough often faint. They are seriously ill."

"Puff!" Zhang San, who was drinking water behind Han Batian, sprayed water all over him. He hurriedly pulled the speechless Han Batian to wipe his neck. Someone had a hard time holding back his laughter and hurriedly ran away, coughing loudly.

Wangshu was so serious that no one dared to laugh.

Ji Shou tried hard to hold back his laughter. Just kidding, even the son-in-law couldn't act like a big shot in front of the young lady. General Han was far inferior to the son-in-law. He was at most a second-in-law!

Nonsence!

The Second Master is still the Second Master of the Son-in-law. General Han should be ranked to the horizon!

"Old farmer, are there any lotus roots down there?"

The old farmer neither nodded nor shook his head, crying out in pain, "Boss Ji, that's inedible. It's very tender and tasteless."

Qin Xiuyuan smiled when he heard that. In fact, he was also curious about what it looked like underneath. When he heard the word "tender", he felt that there was hope.

"Dig one out and take a look. If it doesn't work, bury it back." Wangshu was really interested. Lotus root, lotus root, lotus root! She wanted to see where the lotus root was!

Her happiness made the old farmer sad, "I'm afraid the lotus roots won't grow well!" He said to the female boss with great success, "The soil is fertile, and the lotus roots are growing well. If someone sees them when they take them out, they'll be jealous and cause trouble!"

"Have you paid?" Wangshu asked him. He was allowed to pay for himself, but not for her. It didn't matter if the boss ignored him.

"How can that be? I just feel it out. I've been rolling around in the mud my whole life, so I know everything just by feeling it out."

With his back turned to the others, he compared the size of the lotus roots with two fingers: two fingers, one and a half fingers, and one finger. "A few days ago, a few lotus roots were this size. They can be dug when the weather is cold. People eat lotus roots a lot in winter, so they can be sold at a good price."

The index finger and thumb, thickened and deformed from years of tending the land, silently speak of the farmer's life's toil. In cold weather, lotus roots fetch a good price, yet the diggers, soaking in the icy water of the muddy pond, never complain of the hardship.

Wangshu was in a complicated mood.

After a while, just when the old farmer thought he had been impressed by the good price, his boss spoke gently, "Old farmer, I know what you mean. You've worked hard, too. You just said there are still two months left to dig lotus roots. Let's dig one out now, and I'll have the butler send it to the major restaurants for the owners to see. Order large quantities of lotus roots, including lotus seeds and lotus cores, in advance. Pay a deposit in advance and you'll get a preferential price. If the harvest is good, you must plan ahead and find a big seller. If there are no big sellers, make other plans as soon as possible. As for some people being jealous, the general comes every day. I'd like to see if his skills have improved."

The old farmer personally went to the pond to dig lotus roots and showed them to the owners of the big restaurant. He was told that he could not be careless and had to dig out the most beautiful lotus roots. The boss was right. With so many lotus roots, it would be too late to make plans at the last minute.
