Chapter 45 Ah 4 is pregnant
Parting always comes quickly.
Shen Changzhou and Ah Si talked all night long and it was not enough. When Ah Si sent Shen Changzhou out with red eyes, Qin Zhi had already put away the carriage prepared by Shen Changzhou.
Shen Changzhou took the bag prepared by Ah Si and put it into the carriage. Wow, the carriage was already packed full and could only accommodate one person at most.
"Xiaozhi, you should have emptied out the house," Shen Changzhou lowered his eyes and laughed.
"I've only reduced some of the food. If I hadn't stopped her, my mother would have moved the kimchi jar up there."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Shen Changzhou drove his carriage and disappeared on the official road.
After dinner, Qin Zhi prepared two peach cakes and went to the village head's house. Qin Zhi explained to the village head that Qin Erzhu and the Qin family had broken off their engagement yesterday. The village head also knew that the Qin family had gone too far. Qin Zhi asked the village head to help file the letter of breaking off the engagement with the government office, and the village head agreed.
When Qin Zhi was leaving, she passed by Lao Qin's house. It seemed that Lao Qin's house had guests. She saw a long-faced woman walk in. Qin Zhi left without paying much attention.
At Yuanzhou military camp, Shen Changzhou galloped all the way and finally arrived at the military camp at 11:30 pm. Zhan Xiao had received a pigeon message earlier and knew that Shen Changzhou was coming back, so when Shen Changzhou arrived, he was brought to Zhan Xiao with his carriage.
Zhan Xiao didn't even bother to greet Shen Changzhou, he just jumped onto the carriage and started over.
"Hey, that was prepared for me by my wife." Shen Changzhou said with a smile.
Zhan Xiao's eyes lit up when he saw the boxes of military binoculars, compasses and other items. He called Zhan Liu and asked him to move them into his tent quickly.
"Master, here's one for you," Zhan Liu shouted.
When Zhan Xiao saw the four words "Zhan Xiao's only" his eyes curved with smile. The little girl did not forget him.
Zhan Xiao carried the unique bag inside. Mr. Sun and several lieutenant generals were still discussing the war in the tent. They saw him holding the big bag tightly like a treasure.
When Zhan Xiao opened the bag, what caught his eye was a strange set of clothes, and he was attracted to it at first sight.
He didn't care if there were other people in the tent, he took off his clothes and tried them on. It was as if the clothes were tailor-made for him. His high nose bridge, thick eyebrows, and handsome chin, paired with this battle suit, made him look even more majestic.
Zhan Xiao walked around Mr. Sun and the others proudly. Mr. Sun rolled his eyes speechlessly, while Cao Ding looked at them eagerly, his eyes shining: "General, can you..."
"No," he was interrupted by Zhan Xiao before he could finish his words. Zhan Xiao took the bag and considerately showed the four words that belonged to him to these deputy generals. Cao Ding immediately lost his temper.
Zhan Xiao found a large backpack in the bag and took out a black object from it. Qin Zhi had left instructions on it, and he turned on the flashlight according to the instructions. A beam of extremely strong light shot out immediately, even passing through the tent and hitting the big tree outside, and even knocking down the secret guard Zhan Qi who was hiding in the tree.
Everyone was extremely curious about this high-intensity flashlight and passed it around. Zhan Xiao's eyebrows were raised in pride.
Zhan Xiao continued to look through the backpack and found a black box inside, which contained a set of daggers, each one was different. Qin Zhi wrote down the name and characteristics of each one.
Zhan Xiao was most satisfied with this set of daggers. As a military general, he was naturally fascinated by various weapons.
Others were like the monkey coming down the mountain. They fell in love with everyone they saw and couldn't let go of the dagger.
Only Shen Changzhou stood in the back with a gloomy face. This was his own nephew, but he didn't give the good things to his own uncle, but gave them to outsiders. What's more infuriating is that his uncle is just a porter.
The idiot Zhan Xiao came over and said shamelessly, "Uncle, did Erya bring anything else?"
Shen Changzhou was so angry that his face turned red and his nose became thick. He threw the bag in his hand to the ground and pointed at Zhan Xiao and cursed: "Who are you calling uncle? I am only three years older than you."
The Cao Ding clan was startled by this sudden scene and ran over to hold Shen Changzhou. There was something wrong with General Shen today. He had a bad face as soon as he came back.
The person being scolded continued to call him uncle with a thick face and served him tea and water in a servile manner.
Stone Village.
At the beginning of the Mao hour, the village was filled with the deafening sound of rapid gong beating. Even though Qin Zhi's family lived at the foot of the mountain, they could still hear the sound clearly even though they were still far away from the village.
Something must have happened, as every household lit up kerosene lamps.
Everyone followed the sound and found out it was coming from the doorstep of Lao Qin's house. The person beating the gong was Dahua's father.
Even though the noise was so loud, Lao Qin's door remained closed and even the lights were not on.
"Bingsheng, what are you doing?" The village head was also woken up by the noise and ran over. Bingsheng is Dahua's father.
"Village head, I'm here to remind everyone that there will be a beheading drama at Caishikou today. Everyone, hurry up and watch." Dahua's father said with a weird smile on his face.
The head of the village felt a sudden chill in his heart when he looked at Dahua's father.
Everyone was also stunned. It turned out that the day of Qin Hu's execution had come so soon.
Old man Qin sat in the dark, puffing on his pipe, his back hunched.
It was not until the afternoon when Qin Zhi went to the head of the village to get the registered document of severing the relationship that he heard from Zhou that the Qin family had collected Qin Hu's body and buried it on the mountain.
That night, the fire in Dahua's house was so bright that it almost lit up half the sky. When the villagers found it, the house had been reduced to ashes, and they found Dahua's father, who had been burned to a crisp, inside.
Everyone present was weeping, it was so tragic. The three members of the family passed away one after another.
For a long time, Stone Village was shrouded in this gloomy and depressing atmosphere.
Qin Zhijia was the first to break the dullness.
Ah Si was diagnosed as being one month pregnant.
For the Shen family, this is a great joyous event as they have a new baby.
Shen treated Ah Si like the apple of her eye. Third uncle and aunt even took out their coffin books and gave them to Ah Si. Qin Zhen took care of Ah Si's clothes and even took over the job of taking care of the blind old lady every day. Qin Zhi took care of Ah Si's nutritious meals.
Ah Si didn't think they were making a fuss. On the contrary, he was very grateful that they took him so seriously.
Ah Si felt it necessary to tell Shen Changzhou the good news, so he wrote a letter and gave it to Qin Zhi, who rode his chestnut horse to deliver the letter to the post station.
When he came back, he went to the town for a stroll. Qin Zhi hadn't been to the street for a long time, so he was in a good mood. There happened to be a cloth shop on the side of the road, and Qin Zhi picked out some soft cloth, which was suitable for making clothes for adults and children.
Next to the cloth shop was an old gold shop, and Qin Zhi went in to look around. Hearing that she wanted to buy gold jewelry for a pregnant woman, the waiter recommended a pure gold brooch with four pendants hanging under it, a gold abacus, a gold ingot, a peace charm, and a health blessing. The brooch is homophonic to "Don't be surprised", which means to avoid disasters and keep the adults and children safe. Qin Zhi thought it was good, so he bought one for Ah Si.
Qin Zhi thought that his mother and sister didn't have any jewelry, so he helped Shen pick out a red gold hairpin and a pair of lilac earrings for his sister. Since they all had jewelry, he also bought a gold bracelet for his third uncle's wife and the blind grandmother. Of course, he couldn't forget his third uncle, so he prepared a gold ring for him.
A total of sixty taels of silver were spent, and Le's waiter secretly gave her a small golden melon seed.
After returning home, everyone blamed Qin Zhi for spending money recklessly, but everyone was also smiling from ear to ear.
