Chapter 725
Spring is gone and winter is coming, and it is time for the year to end the account again. At this time of year, Qin Xiaoxiao will become particularly busy and does not even have time to play with the children.
At this time, several managers sat in the study room, all of whom came to report on the specific operation of the plantations and farm shops during the year, so as to prepare for the coming year.
"Madam, this is the account of the textile shop. Including the silkworm sand and silkworm pupa sold in the middle of the year, the profit was 835 taels. Please check it out."
"Madam, this is the account of the jujube orchard. The dried jujubes made have been sold out. The goods were collected for 6,220 taels of silver. Add to the deposit of 6,130 taels collected in August, a total of 12,260 taels. Please check it out."
"Madam, this is the account of the tea garden. The labor cost a total of 228 taels of silver and a balance of 72 taels."
Plantations are divided into mulberry gardens, jujube gardens and tea gardens.
This year is the first year for silkworm farming in the mulberry silkworm garden. Although the silkworm mother was invited to a large amount of money, there were still many problems, resulting in a lot of losses. However, the income was expected and it was already very good.
Needless to say, there are two more jujube trees on the jujube trees on the hills this year. The output of fresh jujubes has surged, which has also brought the output of dried jujubes to a huge number, from a profit of less than 2,000 taels in the first year to a current 12,000 taels.
The tea trees in the tea garden have just been planted for three years and will not start picking until next year. In recent years, the investment in tea gardens has not been a small amount, and even if the tea garden is harvested, it will take several years to make a profit.
After Qin Xiaoxiao learned about the situation of the plantation, he roughly gave some areas that needed improvement, and asked about the situation of the farms and shops.
Compared with plantations with few returns, these are the big part of the annual income of the mansion, calculated in hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
It has been two hours since we finished dealing with these things.
Qin Xiaoxiao sat with a sore back, but there were so many people in the room, so she could only continue to hold it.
At this time, there was a movement at the door. She subconsciously looked over and found that two white and tender claws were pulling the door, and then a fluffy head was exposed.
July misses her mother. She wanted to sneak over and take a look, but she didn't expect that she was discovered by her mother as soon as she showed up. A sweet smile immediately appeared on her little face, and she shouted in a slight voice: "Wine~"
As soon as he finished speaking, another hairy head appeared, August was with his sister.
The two sisters are twins, not only do they look exactly the same, but also have the same temperament. In addition, they always wear the same clothes, and sometimes even Qin Xiaoxiao can't tell who is the sister and who is the sister.
Seeing that my mother had already discovered them, the little girl did not call anyone. With Mingyue's help, she stepped over the threshold and plunged into her arms, then hugged her legs and climbed up.
When the managers saw the two little masters, they immediately stood up and saluted.
Qin Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and waved to them: "I'll be here first today. If you have any questions, come and talk to me again next day."
The managers naturally had no words and took their leave one after another: "Yes, madam."
When there was no one else in the room, Qin Xiaoxiao picked up the two little girls and put them on her knees, gently scraping the tips of their noses and joking: "I haven't seen each other for only one morning, so I found this place. It's such a clingy spirit."
The two little girls are less than one and a half years old. They just learned how to walk but still couldn't explain clearly. They didn't understand their mother's jokes for the time being, but it didn't prevent them from lying to their mother: "Mom, hungry, feast~"
The sisters' facial features grew a little, and they looked more and more like Jing Heng. Qin Xiaoxiao could not stand this spoiled act. He immediately picked up the two little girls and walked towards the dining hall: "Mom is hungry, so I will take you to dinner!"
The twins were so happy that they wrapped around their mother's neck, and from time to time they kissed and rubbed against her face.
But no matter how small the two little girls were, they were more than 40 pounds in total. Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't hold her halfway and said in a negotiated tone: "Mom has no strength, can you come down and walk?"
When Mingyue and others heard this, they quickly stepped forward to take over the two little masters, but Qin Xiaoxiao shook his head and refused.
These two little lazy guys are lazy and never sit down. They can sit down and never stand, so they are almost one and a half years old and are not very steady in walking. When their brother is so old, they can already try to trot.
As soon as the two little girls fell to the ground, they turned their heads and rushed towards Mingyue and others: "Hug~"
Mingyue and others dared not hug each other, so they held the two little masters and coaxed: "The dining hall is not far away, can the girl walk over by herself?"
The twins couldn't understand, and when they saw that the maids and sisters refused to hug them, they showed displeasure on their little faces: "Hug~"
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't see them, held their hands on the left and right, and walked slowly forward with the two sisters: "You have to walk by yourself. If you can't walk in the dining hall, you won't be able to eat lunch."
The two little girls were dragged two steps, gradually understood what their mother meant, and started acting coquettish again: "Sauce, hug, hug~"
Qin Xiaoxiao was not soft-hearted at all and led them forward deaf ears.
The two little girls were not stupid. They knew that they had to walk over by themselves this time, so they had to follow their mother silly, quickly walking with their short legs, worried that they would fall if they stepped slowly.
After taking a few steps, they felt that they could not walk anymore. They were so mean to hug their mother's thighs, like two little monkeys holding tree trunks.
This was not the first time that Qin Xiaoxiao had a child hanging on her legs, but she was still amused by their actions. She said fiercely with a stern face: "If you don't let go, you are not allowed to eat!"
The twins understood this sentence and let go of their mother's thighs if they were to cry. Tears began to spin: "Make evil, whine~"
Qin Xiaoxiao was cruel and cruel, not hugging them, nor letting others hug them.
Such a lazy person naturally needs to correct his mistakes as soon as possible. Allowing them to grow up like this will only harm them.
The Princess Huguo was waiting for the three of her mothers in the dining hall. When she saw the two little granddaughters who were almost dragged over, she showed a helpless and funny expression on her face: "This is too lazy, I really don't know who to follow."
Qin Xiaoxiao also wanted to know this question, but he really didn't know who the two lazy daughters would follow, so he couldn't even lie to their fathers.
Fortunately, when it comes to eating, the two little girls are not lazy. They will eat with a spoon at a young age. They are not happy if they want to take the bowl and feed them.
In the afternoon, when the two little girls fell asleep, Qin Xiaoxiao returned to the study to continue handling the government affairs.
Just after accounting for the plantation account, Xiqiao hurried in and reported: "Madam, the third young lady has had an attack, and it seems that there are signs of difficult labor. The third master hopes that Mingyue will go there."
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up, put down his pen and said hurriedly: "Prepare the car and let Mingyue be prepared!"
Xiqiao obeyed the orders and immediately ran to inform the bright moon.
Within a moment, the master and servant got on the carriage and rushed to Sanbao's mansion.
In the spring of this year, Xu Yan finally got pregnant. She has a good body and has been doing well during pregnancy. She thought she would be as smooth as she gave birth, but she didn't expect that she has not been born since she started in the early morning.
The two families were not far apart, and they arrived in a short while.
When she came outside the delivery room, she heard Xu Yan's tortured shouts. Qin Xiaoxiao, who had given birth twice, still felt cold hands and feet. Seeing Sanbao with a pale complexion, she calmed down and walked over quickly: "Sanbao, what's wrong with Yan'er?"
When Sanbao heard her voice, he realized that they had come over, and his face showed an unsettled look on his face: "Xiaoxiao, Yan'er can't give birth, what should I do? What should I do!"
When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the first child will probably be slower, and the mother and son will be safe!"
After saying that, she ordered Mingyue: "Go in and see what you need, and say immediately."
Mingyue took the order and pushed open the door of the delivery room with the medicine box and walked in.
Seeing Mingyue in, Sanbao seemed to feel relieved and said regretfully: "It's me that I'm not good. I don't have restraint. I'm very indulging in her diet, otherwise it wouldn't cause the fetus to be too big and make her unable to give birth."
In the middle and late stages of Xu Yan's pregnancy, many people reminded her not to eat gluttony, so as not to give birth to the fetus too big. It is just that it is too difficult for pregnant people to control their appetite, and Xu Yan always feels that she is not full.
No one was staring at each other all the time, and the couple had no experience in eating more, and they didn't feel anything after eating more. After accumulating these days, they didn't have any idea whether they had eaten more, which led to this today.
Knowing the reason for Xu Yan's difficult childbirth, Qin Xiaoxiao felt much more relieved: "How can you blame you? It's just that it's difficult to give birth. Yan'er has to suffer more. When the child is born, let Yan'er do well in confinement and slowly raise it up, it's fine."
Before she came, she thought the fetus was incorrect and the situation was much better than she thought. The mother and son would be safe.
Qin Xiaoxiao thought so, but stared at the door.
A moment later, the moon came out, and his expression was quite relaxed: "Madam, the third master, the third young lady is not seriously injured for the time being."
Sanbao trusted Mingyue's medical skills. When she heard that her wife was fine, she suddenly felt relieved: "I'm working hard."
Mingyue Liandao didn't dare, so she returned to the delivery room and kept paying attention to Xu Yan's pulse.
After about half an hour, a loud cry came from the delivery room: "Wow—"
Sanbao's whole body shook, his hands under his sleeves clattered, his eyes staring at the door motionless, and he could no longer see anything else.
Qin Xiaoxiao was also very excited and pricked his ears to listen to the movement inside.
Not long after, the midwife came out to report the good news with the child in her arms: "Congratulations to the master, Mrs., for giving birth to a young man!"
Sanbao didn't care about looking at the child and looked nervously into the delivery room: "What's wrong with Madam?"
The midwife sighed inwardly that Mrs. Qin was lucky and replied: "Mrs. Everything is fine, but she is exhausted and is already asleep."
After hearing this, Sanbao breathed a sigh of relief, and then he took over the midwife's child with trembling hands.
Looking at the little red and wrinkled face, his eyes were red, and a tear fell and hit the child's forehead: This is his flesh and blood!
