The rainy season is coming.

The river embankment of the Huguang Yilingzhou to Wuchang Prefecture, and the lake embankment around Dongting Lake, which was supervised by Chenxi, has entered the final stage. He did not stop for many times on the embankment and was preparing to set off for Jiangxi to supervise the river embankment of the Jiujiang section of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and at the same time repair the Poyang Lake embankment.

Chen Xi has done this kind of thing once in the first year, but last time he came and went in a hurry. The rebellion in the southwest disrupted his itinerary. This time he went to Jiangxi again. In addition to supervising the construction of river embankments and lake embankments and inspecting flood prevention affairs, he would also send Huiniang and Li Jin to Nanchang Prefecture.

Previously, with the help of Shen Xi, Huiniang successfully captured a large number of mountainous areas in Pingxiang, Yuanzhou Prefecture and Dexing, Raozhou Prefecture, and established commercial networks in various prefectures and counties in Jiangxi. Now business has been on track.

But Hui Niang has been away from her son for a year and a half, and she is extremely worried. In this case, Chen Xi asked Hui Niang and Li Jin to go back to Guangdong first to rectify the local business, and then asked Hui Niang to settle down in Nanjing City and remotely control the chambers of commerce in Guangdong, Jiangxi and other places.

Originally, Hui Niang wanted to stay with Shen Xi, but Chen Xi knew that Hui Niang was embarrassed and she hid her head and tail when she did anything, and she lived a unhappy life every day. Chen Xi would rather Hui Niang move to Nanjing City temporarily and decide to let Hui Niang go to Nanchang Mansion at the end of the year, or stay in Nanjing City to wait for his job change.

It was June 23 that Chen Xi returned to Wuchang Prefecture City. When he returned to the Governor's Office, he seemed to have met again after a long time, and the whole family came to greet him.

Zhou had been talking to Chen Xi about Lu Xier and Yin Wen's entry. This time he came here and brought up the old story again.

Lu Xier and Yin Wen did not come out to greet him because of the taboo. Chen Xi understood that this was to prepare the two little girls to get started.

Among the people, this is a basic rule. Even childhood sweethearts need to avoid meeting after confirming their marriage. This is not only to keep etiquette but also to create a freshness between husband and wife, but Chen Xi does not think this has any effect.

Chen Xidao: "Mom, I went to Jiangxi this time for business. I would be more anxious. At most, I stay at home for one day. I will go on the road early tomorrow morning. There are so many things that I don't have time to do. Let's talk about them when I come back... Xiaowen and Xier have been at home all the time. In my heart, I have long regarded them as Shen's family!"

Zhou was a little dissatisfied: "It's not that you want to marry a wife, it's just to take a concubine. After going through the motions, I'll send it to your door together tonight! When you go to Jiangxi, you can bring two girls with you. There's someone to serve you on the way, otherwise you won't even have a secret with your own friends. How can you rest assured to Wei's mother?"

Chen Xi was a little impatient: "Mom, I have not traveled once or twice, and I have been leading troops to fight several times. When can I bring my female relatives around me? Don't worry, let's talk about what's going on when I come back!"

Chen Xi would definitely not be able to take Lu Xier and Yin Wen on the road, because Hui Niang was also going to Jiangxi together. Even if Hui Niang didn’t go along with Chen Xi, after arriving at Nanchang Prefecture, Hui Niang would stay for a few days before leaving to go south. Chen Xi could not run between Lu Xier and Hui Niang.

Xie Yuner helped to say to Xiang: "Mom, the flood season has arrived now, and local people are trying to build dams. My husband must come to the front line to supervise it. It is always inconvenient to bring his subordinates around him. It is better to wait for my husband to come back..."

"If you delay, you will know how old the two girls are? Jun'er, who is equally old, has now held a child. Do you really want to drag the yellow-flowered daughter into a yellow-faced woman? You stupid kid, I forgot how good your Aunt Sun treats you. Now she is just such a child. Don't you know how much you care about? You are childhood sweethearts!"

Although Zhou blamed Chen Xi, her tone became softer. Obviously, she knew that some things could not be forced and no longer had to worry about Chen Xi.

In Zhou's eyes, Chen Xi's responsibilities were greater than the sky. She was afraid that Chen Xi would not do anything badly and was punished by the court. Then all her previous glory would no longer exist. To put it bluntly, she cared very much about Chen Xi's official position.

...

...

Chen Xi rarely came back, and the family was in chaos. Fortunately, the mansion was full of people, so it did not affect Chen Xi's relationship with his wife and concubines.

Xie Yuner went to wash first, and was the first to accompany Chen Xi. After the couple became affectionate, Xie Yuner got up to dress herself up, not wanting to let people see what changes had happened before and after she entered the room.

Chenxi doesn’t feel much tired. Although it seems very hard to get on the embankment, it’s actually just a walk and no effort is required. Now that I’ve gotten off the embankment, my skin is just a little tanned.

"... My husband is better to bring someone with me. Dai'er or Jun'er can do it. If my husband doesn't want to abolish his husband for personal gain, then take Xiaoshan or Lu'er and the others over... By the way, my husband is not here these days, and Lu'er has married, but it's still a thread that my mother has to do... "

Xie Yuner has many family matters to tell Chen Xi, but because Chen Xi is very busy with official business, she rarely stays at home. She has been staying on the dam for nearly a month before, so she rarely has the opportunity to talk to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi shook his head: "Yun'er, I know I don't care enough for you recently. I'll find a way to compensate you in the future... If I want to take someone to Jiangxi, the first thing I think of will be you. With you by my side, I can do anything well!"

"Don't be kidding, my family needs me to take care of you!" Xie Yuner said with a smile.

Chen Xi was lying on the bed, thinking of getting up to hug Xie Yun'er, but his wife was avoiding it lightly.

Chen Xi knew that Xie Yuner was dressed neatly and didn't want any ridiculous actions, so he said immediately: "I will go to Dai'er and Jun'er's room later. Don't you think it tastes good?"

"What's delicious? Dai'er has always mentioned her husband these days, but her belly has not improved. Her husband should pay more attention to her!" Xie Yuner reminded.

Chen Xi asked, "Always worrying about others, you should think about your own affairs... After all the years, we have been together for many years, and it has only given birth to a son for our husbands. The population is always a little thin. The Shen family needs someone to inherit the incense. Whether it is Dai'er, Jun'er, or you, you should work harder..."

"My husband, you are not ashamed of this daytime. What should I say to you?" After saying that, Xie Yuner came over to help Chen Xi dress.

Chen Xi was furious, and although Xie Yuner was a little angry, she did not push her husband away and said, "My husband went to accompany Dai'er and Jun'er earlier. They are young and have long been looking forward to being alone with her husband to comfort her lovesickness. My husband doesn't have to worry about his family when he goes to Jiangxi. Now that our family has arrived in Wuchang Mansion, everything is on track, and there will be no more worries..."

Chen Xi thought about it and couldn't help laughing. He knew that what Xie Yuner said was the Shen family's business. He said with emotion: "At this time, Brother Six is ​​probably about to return to Ninghua County. I have read the list of Jinshi this year before. He has not passed the Jinshi exam, but it will be a matter of time before his age. Even if he is just a Juren, it will be of great help to improve the status of our Shen family. Now the Shen family's life in Ninghua County should be much better..."

In the Ming Dynasty, the family had a Juren, and the benefits were more than one or a half. One of the discounts was that there was no need to pay taxes. Many civilians would bring land and people to invest, and they could easily live a good life. However, the court also found such a disadvantage and would review the number of land in the Juren's family. However, now the Shen family is a juren, and there is a Jinshi in the court, so many things can be broken out of the legal framework.

Even if Chen Xi himself and Shen Mingjun and his wife are not in Ninghua County, with Shen Mingxin and his wife, and Shen Yuan, the Shen Family Ancestral Hall can still maintain its popularity, and the Shen Family's status in Ninghua County will only become higher and higher.

...

...

After Chen Xi accompanied Lin Dai and Xie Hengnu, the family got together for dinner that night.

After having a sumptuous dinner, Shen Mingjun and his wife returned home, and Chen Xi chose to spend the night in Lin Dai's room to compensate for the childhood sweetheart's suffering of not being accompanied by her husband for years.

Although Lin Dai still has a little girlish temperament, her character has been restrained so far. At least she will not shy her face in front of others for nothing, and will not complain to Chen Xi when she is in the room. At home, she looks more appropriate in her words and deeds, like an official wife.

"...Is it because there are people you care about there?" After Chen Xi and Lin Dai were entangled with each other, Lin Dai suddenly asked.

Chen Xi was already ready to rest, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you think so?" This question made him a little embarrassed, as if his secret was exposed.

Lin Dai pouted and said, "Maybe I'm too concerned. I always feel that you are outside, otherwise I won't always avoid us. I told my sister before, but my sister didn't let me think too much!"

Chen Xi was helpless when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Listen to your sister, don't think about it. I will come back in Jiangxi this time in at most a month. I will write letters to my family from time to time. Don't worry, this reunion is unlikely to be separated within one or two years. I will try my best to get pregnant earlier so that you won't be distracted every day!"

"Hmph, I know the bias!"

Lin Dai complained, but when she heard Chen Xi try to get pregnant, she felt much better and she sleeps with Chen Xi. But her underwear was wrapped tightly, which was something that Chen Xi had discovered before. Even in the bed, Lin Dai refused to take off all the clothes on her body, which made Chen Xi a little disappointed.

Chen Xi frowned and said, "It's hot, don't always wrap around and take off your underwear!"

Lin Dai pouted and said, "No, no, my mother said, I'm cold and weak, this is the main reason why I can't get pregnant before. Now it's summer and I need to take good care of it. Hey, remember to cover me with a quilt at night. You like to kick the quilt when you were a child..."

The half-girl suddenly entered a tone of an elder sister teaching her younger brother a lesson, which made Chen Xi feel a little uncomfortable. He said angrily: "You have to do whatever you want. If you are afraid of heat, don't wear so many clothes. Just don't let yourself get cold in winter. As for summer... just wrap your belly!"
