Chapter 652: Fraud

Chapter 653: Fraud

As spring came, Li Tian's belly gradually expanded. Jiang Qingzhi was very careful when he went to bed every day, worried about bumping into something. Later, when his mother-in-law learned about his caution, she couldn't help but laugh, saying that it wasn't that delicate, but he just had to be careful about bumping into sharp objects.

Yes, Jiang Qingzhi thought of those women in later generations who were still working even when they were eight or nine months pregnant.

Even at this moment, pregnant women from ordinary families still have to work, and some are still busy in the fields until a few days before giving birth.

If you don't work, you won't eat. This Buddhist saying actually describes the lives of ordinary people.

Many families do not have any food left over from the previous day. If they do not work for a day, they will have no income, and the whole family will go hungry the next day.

As human beings, some are born with luxury, while others are born with little food and clothing.

"This is all fate." Xia Yan sniffed a cigarette, "Good deeds in the previous life will bring you happiness in this life."

"Mr. Xia, fortune and misfortune often go hand in hand." Jiang Qingzhi lit the incense and brought the fire closer. Xia Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "No."

Jiang Qingzhi smiled, looking at the spring rain outside through the smoke, "This world is a hell, no matter if it is an emperor or a general, they are all suffering in this hell. People from different classes have their own pains and troubles. The richer you are, the more you are burdened by wealth.

Mr. Xia, people! The simpler you live, the happier you are. "

"That... does sound a bit Buddhist." Xia Yan said with a smile, "Does Qingzhi want to become a monk?"

"Fangwai is also a gangster." Jiang Qing has seen a lot of such news in his later life, so he doesn't have much expectation for Fangwai. "Just like Zhu Shitai, how many people in the outside world envy and envy him? But he is not as happy as a farmer's child. So, happiness is related to money, but the relationship is not too big."

Money is enough to ensure that a person lives an ordinary life.

"Human desires are endless." Jiang Qingzhi saw Zhu Shitai outside the door. "An ordinary person who earns 100 yuan a day will be happy at first and feel that he has no regrets in his life. But it won't be long before the joy brought by the 100 yuan is gone. He will instinctively pursue more money to gain joy and a sense of accomplishment, as well as the pride of being recognized by the outside world for his value."

"Second uncle." Zhu Shitai came in. "Father and mother ask you to come over."

"Are there any results?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.

"Yes."

At the Duke's Mansion, Zhu Xizhong and his wife looked quite depressed.

"Second Master, please." The steward took Jiang Qingzhi outside.

"Qingzhi." Zhu Xizhong raised his head and said with a wry smile, "It's hard to be a father!"

"But you didn't have this idea when you were enjoying family happiness." Jiang Qingzhi felt that whenever people in the world gain any benefits, they will pay a price in places they can see or cannot see.

No one is immune.

It's like an equal exchange relationship.

The Duke's wife's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had been crying.

"If there are still a few children in the family, it would be fair to beat them to death!" The Duke's wife looked at Zhu Shitai and said gritting her teeth.

Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said, "A forced melon is not sweet. Instead of being awkward with your child, why don't you try harder?"

The Duke's wife was not the kind of girl who would avoid such a topic. She sighed, "The imperial physician has seen it countless times and said it was... difficult."

Zhu Xizhong sowed a lot but reaped little, with only Zhu Shitai as his only child. This shows that this is not a woman's problem.

What are the most common causes of male infertility?

Not energetic enough?

"It's okay to eat more...oysters!"

Jiang Qingzhi didn't know much, but he remembered that people in later generations ate oysters like melon seeds, saying that they were good for nourishing something.

"It works?" Zhu Xizhong's eyes lit up.

"It depends on fate." Jiang Qingzhi thought to himself, if penicillin works, I can also give you an injection.

"This child..." The Duke's wife stood up and suddenly bowed solemnly.

"Sister-in-law!" Jiang Qingzhi stood up and moved away, but Zhu Xizhong also stood up and bowed to him.

"Qingzhi, Dalang... I won't entrust him to you." Zhu Xizhong said, "If you die on the battlefield, I won't blame you."

The Duke's wife's eyes were blurred with tears. "This little bastard has caused the whole family to worry and even Qingzhi was tied up by him. I only ask... Qingzhi, do your best to protect him!"

Such a lady with great skills cried like a heavy rain in front of Jiang Qingzhi.

"What a pity the hearts of parents in the world!"

After returning home, Jiang Qingzhi told Li Tian what happened.

"My son is a lucky man." Li Tian said happily, "His father is a famous general, so he doesn't have to join the army to fight the enemy."

"Why?" Jiang Qingzhi was puzzled.

"How can both father and son be famous generals? It's taboo." Li Tian stroked his abdomen, "Who was the brother of the Marquis of Guanjun back then... Huo Guang, didn't he bring trouble to the whole family? I just hope my son lives a peaceful life."

Having children or grandchildren who are too outstanding can also bring troubles... Jiang Qingzhi smiled foolishly. But who doesn't want their children to become successful?

There is a saying in later generations... Involution starts from childhood.

"...Sun Wukong was furious and said, 'Monster, take this blow from me!'"

"Husband, this fight is too intense. I'm afraid that the baby will go out with his guards and become the king in the future." Li Tian said while sitting on a specially made armchair.

"Then..." Jiang Qingzhi took out another comic book and opened it. "Let's continue from the last time. Ahem! Zhang Fei rode his horse across the bridge, pointed his spear at the Cao army soldiers and shouted: You don't want to fight, and you don't want to retreat. Why? The Cao army soldiers were frightened by his momentum and fell silent. At this moment, there was a plop, and someone fell off his horse. It turned out that he was scared to death by Zhang Fei..."

Jiang Qingzhi spoke in a low voice. After an unknown amount of time, he looked up and saw his wife with a smile on her face. She had fallen asleep without him noticing.

Pregnancy is hard for women, especially when the belly is getting bigger, they have to get up frequently at night. Li Tian asked Jiang Qingzhi to sleep somewhere else, but Jiang Qingzhi naturally refused. Every time she got up at night, Jiang Qingzhi took care of her.

Jiang Qingzhi stood up, pulled the thin quilt to cover Li Tian's exposed arms, turned around and waved to Huang Yan'er who was waiting for him.

After leaving the house, Huang Yaner whispered, "Master, that skinny eunuch is here again."

Jiang Qingzhi went to the front yard.

"Meet Long Wei Bo." Yan San stood up and pointed at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and said, "The calligraphy and paintings in Long Wei Bo's house look quite fresh."

Are you fucking mocking the Bo family for having no background?

Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "It's just calligraphy and painting. A hundred years later, how much do you think Ben Bo's calligraphy will be worth?"

Yan San turned around and said, "Back then, the Yan cavalry followed Chengzu in the battles and after entering the capital, they also raided many families, Wang Ze!"

Wang Ze came in, carrying a large wooden box in one hand, looking quite relaxed.

"Open!" Wang Ze opened the wooden box.

What the hell!

A box of calligraphy and paintings!

No need to look at it, Jiang Qingzhi dares to bet that it is definitely good stuff.

He glanced at Fu Cheng. Fu Cheng was slightly bent over, but his eyes were full of coldness, and he was actually looking at Wang Ze.

"Ahem! That's not necessary!" Jiang Qingzhi declined politely... Just like the new monarch has to decline three times before taking the throne, any benefits offered have to be declined politely, as if otherwise, this person is a hypocrite.

"I, Yanqi, made a mistake this time. If it weren't for Chang Wei Bo's reminder..." Yan San sighed, "I'm afraid we would have been keeping an eye on the boatman's children and grandchildren."

"But something happened to Liao Chen?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.

Fu Cheng saw the surprise in Wang Ze's eyes. Even though he had experienced many storms in the palace before, his heart, which he had cultivated and claimed would not be moved even if the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, now felt a little secretly happy.

Didn’t the once-so-arrogant Yan cavalry also suffer a defeat at the hands of our uncle?

I also had to send a box of calligraphy and paintings as an apology.

"It is indeed Long Wei Bo." Yan San sighed, "The Liao family announced to the public that Liao Chen was ill and was preparing to leave Beijing to recuperate in another place."

Wang Ze was obviously much more respectful. "The people of the Liao family said that although the matter of Linqing Marquis Mansion had nothing to do with the Liao family, Liao Chen was devastated by the death of his loved one. The capital has now become his sad place, so it's better to stay away from it."

"Once he escapes, I bet that old ghost will disappear without a trace." Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "For example, if they encounter robbers, all of them will be killed. In another remote place, there will be a wealthy family and a kind elder... Changing the name will not be a problem for those people."

"We are in some trouble now." Yan San sat down again, "If we take action without any clues... it will cause a lot of trouble."

Liao Chen has a high prestige in the literati circle and is not an ordinary person. If the Yanqi dares to arrest him by force, it will definitely cause a strong backlash.

Altan will go south this year, and now in the mind of Emperor Jiajing, everything should give way to this.

If we could repel or even defeat Altan Khan, we would be able to lay the foundation for the Ming Dynasty's foreign policy for the next five or even ten years.

Only when there are fewer external threats can we govern with ease.

Therefore, at this juncture, everything depends on stability.

Jiang Qingzhi spent the whole day at home thinking about childbirth and children, which was actually a form of attitude.

I don’t have time to compete with Confucianism recently.

"Do you know when Liao Chen will leave?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.

Wang Ze said: "It is said that... the day after tomorrow."

Time is tight and the task is heavy!

Jiang Qingzhi shook off the ashes from his cigarette and asked, "What's the hurry?"

Yan San: “…”

Wang Ze: “…”

Jiang Qingzhi stood up and said, "Let me think about this carefully."

"I'm afraid Liao Chen is just bluffing and will suddenly leave." Yan San said.

"Haha!" Jiang Qingzhi smiled, "Can't we keep him?"

"What's the excuse?"

Jiang Qingzhi took a puff of herbal cigarette and sighed, "It's a scam!"

"Touch porcelain?"

Jiang Qingzhi looked at the box of calligraphy and paintings. "The people of the Liao family kept silent when they went out to buy things, which shows that Liao Chen was also on guard. But why don't you take the initiative?"

Seeing the two of them thinking, Jiang Qingzhi said, "Bumping into someone's car means actively approaching and looking for trouble. As the carriage was speeding over, a man suddenly lay in front..."

Yan San's eyes lit up.

"Bumping into porcelain, great!"

At the Liao family, Liao Chen is giving instructions to his children and grandchildren.

"After I leave, Dalang will take care of the family affairs. Remember, stay dormant for ten years, or even twenty years."

The eldest son Liao Wen asked, "Dad, when will we stay dormant?"

"Until His Majesty passes away!"

Liao Chen stood up and said, "I will be back for three to five years at most, or half a year at least."

He walked out surrounded by his children and grandchildren, his eyes full of coldness.

Outside the gate were old friends who came to visit.

Most of them are famous scholars in the capital.

Who dares to attack him?

Once we leave the capital, the arrangements along the way will naturally help us shake off the followers...

From then on, fish entered the sea and tigers entered the jungle.

It’s a pity that the prosperity of this capital city is wasted!

Liao Chen sighed.

At the same time, the Liao family's servants were driving the cart back.

The cart is full of purchased food.

Not fast.

A figure flashed in front.

Fall down.

The horse was frightened and neighed loudly.

"Someone's been killed!"
