The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

At this time, seeing the mother and her two daughters being affectionate, he went into the house without seeing the mistress and shouted a few times.

"Where did San'er go?"

Aunt Zhang heard the man calling, and without turning her head, she said loudly, "San'er went to get you some wine. The money for the wine was from her herbal medicine business."

Zhang Bao couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth after hearing this, then quickly straightened it, coughed and muttered softly, "It's worth it that I feed her with good food and drink, I am still filial."

Then he hummed a tune and sat at the table and started eating.

Seeing that the three people outside were still being intimate, Zhang Bao swallowed what was in his mouth.

"Don't eat yet, the food will get cold."

"I'm coming."

The mother and her two daughters were talking when they heard their husband/father calling them, and the three of them responded.

At this time, San'er also came back with wine. She was a little girl about five years old, with a gourd wine pot slung across her shoulder, and she ran very fast.

"Eldest sister! Second sister!"

"Xiao San'er!"

Zhang Qiao picked up San'er, and little San'er was very happy.

Zhang Qing supported Aunt Zhang, who was already pregnant, and Zhang Qiao held her younger sister, and they went into the house.

"Mom, when did you get pregnant? It wasn't even time for Xiaoqing and I to leave."

Aunt Zhang picked out a big piece of meat for Zhang Qiao and another piece for Zhang Qing.

"Come and eat more."

Hearing Zhang Qiao's words, she touched her bulging belly.

"It had been over two months since you left. I was busy at the farm during those few days and didn't pay attention. Later, when I was getting off the ground, I accidentally fell and almost saw blood. That's when I realized it."

It’s no wonder that Aunt Zhang didn’t pay attention. She did have her period the next month, but the amount was small. She thought it was just from being tired, so she didn’t take it seriously.

Zhang Qiao and Zhang Qing were talking about this, their hearts were in turmoil.

"Mom, Xiaoqing and I are back now, so you should take a good rest. The school is on vacation for a month. We will go back to school after we finish helping with the spring plowing."

Now Zhang Bao had a smile on his face. His wife had been pregnant in the past few months, which made it very difficult for him to do the work of two people at the same time.

There were originally two girls helping out at home. Although they couldn't do much, they could still deliver water and pull weeds.

The following spring, when the plowing started, there was a lot of work to do on the farm. His wife was about to give birth, and he didn't know what to do.

He was adopted from a small village, without a father or a mother, and was raised by the village. When his wife was pregnant, there was no elder to help her, so his life was harder than others.

"Okay, your mother is not feeling well, so let her do more work and rest well."

Although Aunt Zhang can't do any heavy work, she takes care of all the big and small things in the house, which is not an easy task.

Farmers don’t have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. On the contrary, after working hard outside all day, they only chat at the dinner table.

Zhang Bao and the others began to ask Zhang Qiao and the others what they did on weekdays and what classes they took.

When Zhang Qiao and Zhang Qing talked about girls' education, their faces were filled with pride.

Zhang Qiao, being older and more mature, chose to work in the needlework academy and became an embroiderer in her master's shop. She had learned some skills from her mother, was skillful and meticulous, and her grades were quite good.

Zhang Qing went to the gynecological hospital. She was also a person with plans. The teachers said that the Bo Mansion would open a women's hall in the future, which would be a pharmacy specifically for women to treat illnesses.

Moreover, she was much younger than her sister, so she could learn more and not be paired off so early. She could also return to the academy from time to time to study. She really loved women's studies.

I used to think that three years of study was a long time, but after half a year, I felt that three years was so short.

This year, Duan Bo's Mansion celebrated a reunion year. Shen Xianli's post was very close to the capital, and it only took one day to get there by car, so he came back directly after the New Year.

It would be boring for him to be alone, so he might as well finish his business and come back early.

Xuan Ge'er had already written a letter asking him when he would return home.

When Shen Xianli left, he stroked the tablet that had been placed in the room, and felt an unbearable sadness in his heart.

Without you, there is no home.

Fortunately, I have a pair of children to accompany me, otherwise I really don’t know how to live.

"You told mother you were going to remarry me, and when you left, you made plans for Wei Jie'er and Xuan Ge'er, but why didn't you think of me?"

A tear rolled down Shen Xianli's eye. He closed his eyes with a suppressed sadness.

"If possible, I only want you."

"Mother will find a well-educated and sensible wife to take care of the future affairs of the two children."

Where has my beauty gone? I miss her every night.

The beautiful woman has pity on my heart and comes into my dream.

Reunion is always accompanied by separation, and after the holidays, everyone goes their separate ways again.

The one who had the most severe withdrawal reaction was Xuan Ge'er.

When Shen Xianli left, Xuan Ge'er cried for several days.

Instead of crying loudly, she wiped away her tears secretly, which made people feel pity for her.

Kang Ge'er couldn't stand this, so he took Xuan Ge'er out to play all day.

Mrs. Lu wanted to take care of the child, but she could never find anyone. As the child grew older, he became more and more unruly.

Besides, she has something more important to do now, which is to find a teacher for her children at home.

Wei Jie'er is older now, and it's not appropriate for her to study with her brothers. Although they are all brothers, it would be bad if the news gets out to others. A girl's reputation is the most important thing.

She was thinking of asking which girls' school in Beijing was better and seeing if she could send Sister Wei there. After all, it was a school for educating noble ladies.

As for Kang'er and Xuan'er's tutors, Mrs. Lu was extremely worried. Xuan'er had a tutor before, but she wasn't very suitable, so she dismissed him.

Xuan'er is five years old now, and in another five years he will be able to go to school.

Kang Ge'er had never intended to let him go to the academy. He was afraid that he would study harder if he went there, but now, if he went there, it would be like letting a tiger go back to the mountain.

In the early years, when Kang Ge'er was the only child, Mrs. Lu worried about all kinds of things. Now that there are more children in the family, she just feels exhausted.

Fortunately, the fourth son's wife came home and can help with some things, so he is not as busy as before.

Seeing that the fourth son's wife was capable, Mrs. Lu gave her many of the company's properties to manage. After all, the fourth son's family would have a share of these things in the future.

As for why Mrs. Lu had no grudges, it was because Ding Meishu was a gentle person and not one who fought for power and profit. Mrs. Lu felt at ease having such a sister-in-law.

The second reason is that in a wealthy family like theirs, every family has brothers and sisters, and it is just a consensus that the family property belongs to everyone.

After so many years of managing the Duan family business, the Lu family knew how huge it was. Even if they gave away 30% of it, it would not hurt them at all.

Only when you are full can you give to others.

This is from a rational perspective. Emotionally, Lu treats Duan Jing'an as an elder, and she is not joking when she calls her sister-in-law.

It can be said that when the family is divided in the future, Duan Jing'an will get more, not less.

This is also the advantage of having few children in the family. Because they are rare, the one or two children are very precious and the feelings are much deeper.

Unlike other families, the grandsons in our family are older than the sons. When brothers and sisters meet, they don’t know whether to call him uncle or brother.
