"...What's wrong?" Seeing that she looked wrong, Zhen Shiniang asked.

"It's okay." Magpie shook his head and forced the fish meat into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, it was better not to swallow. After swallowing forcefully, Magpie felt her stomach churn and feel extremely uncomfortable. If she couldn't bear it any longer, she covered her mouth and ran out. Qiu Ju was so frightened that Qiu Ju jumped to the ground and followed her barefoot.

Jian Wen and Jian Wu were also shocked and put down their chopsticks, "What's wrong with Aunt Magpie?" Jian Wu stood up and was about to get off the ground.

"...Keep eating." Zhen Shiniang stretched out her hand to hold him down and gave each person a vegetable dumpling. "Eat more to grow faster." She looked at the door with worried eyes.

Qiu Ju helped the magpie come in.

"...How is it?" Zhen Shiniang asked.

"It's okay..." Magpie said with a smile, her face turned slightly pale, "Maybe I ran too much in the morning and got a heat stroke. I'll just drink some porridge." She picked up the lotus seed porridge and lowered her head to drink it.

Zhen Shiniang frowned thoughtfully.

"I'm full." Jian Wen put down his chopsticks, "I'm going to peel off the lotus pods!"

Seeing his brother put down his chopsticks, Jian Wu stuffed the remaining vegetable balls into his mouth and was about to stand up. Zhen Shiniang held him down, "...swallow the food in your mouth." He raised his head to greet Jian Wen,

"Wait for a while, brother."

Jian Wu swallowed the food in his mouth hard, took a sip of the water Qiu Ju handed him, took a deep breath, raised his right hand, "I want to peel off the lotus pods too!"

"After Xiaoxiaoshi, come back and take a nap..." Zhen Shiniang said.

"Hey..." Jian Wu Jianwen's voice came from the yard.

"When did you come here as a child?" Seeing that Qiu Ju was gone, Zhen Shiniang turned to ask Magpie.

"Last month..." Magpie paused, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Zhen Shiniang in surprise, "It seems that I haven't been here for two months... Miss, is this slave..."

It has been almost three years since we got married, but there has been no movement in my stomach. Although my husband didn't say anything, the magpie was also worried.

"You..." Zhen Shiniang grabbed her arm, "Let me take a look."

"Really?" Seeing Zhen Shiniang's serious expression, Magpie held her breath.

"No." Zhen Shiniang shook her head.

"Really?" Magpie's little face fell instantly.

"I lied to you." Zhen Shiniang giggled, "It's been more than two months."

"Young lady knows how to tease slaves." Magpie was pleasantly surprised, but tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Okay, okay." Zhen Shiniang patted her, "Crying and laughing at the same time, being careful is not good for the fetus."

As expected, Magpie did not dare to cry anymore, "...Miss's medical skills are really good. This slave is a ready example. I will definitely go out and promote it to you."

Seeing that she had been infertile for three years, Zhen Shiniang prescribed a prescription that lasted only three months.

"Careful, people say you are the queen selling melons..." Zhen Shiniang smiled, then thought of something, and said, "It's only been two months and the fetus is still not stable. Don't apply lotus pods in the future."

"But……"

"The harvest has been good this year. I think we should outsource all the work of harvesting the lotus pond, so as to save you and Qiu Ju from being burdened."

Magpie shook his head, "That will cost money." Brother Wen and Brother Wu should enter the school next year, and there is money everywhere. "How about..." He suddenly raised his head and said, "Let Changhe come over and help for a few more days."

Can save some money.

Changhe's name is Li Changhe, and he is Xique's husband. His family has several acres of thin farmland, and he often does part-time labor during the off-season. He and Xique first met when Zhen Shiniang hired him to help clean the lotus pond at the Shen family's ancestral home. He was a very good man.

You are kind and have helped Zhen Shiniang a lot over the years.

"Forget it..." Zhen Shiniang shook her head, "I don't even have money to give you your monthly salary. If you let him come over and do free work, after the child is born, you go to drink the northwest wind?" Seeing the magpie, he still said, He said, "Don't worry, when you save enough money to open a medicine hall in the future, he won't be able to come if he doesn't want to!"

The minimum you need to open a medicine hall is a few hundred taels of silver!

How can they, orphans and widowers, afford it? Besides, how can a medicine hall be opened by a woman?

What's more, since their identities are different, it's okay to sell some medicine in such a secretive manner. Shen Zhongqing really opened a medicine hall with great fanfare. Shen Zhongqing found out that the legitimate wife of his dignified general was actually engaged in such a low-level business in private. I was afraid that she would be killed immediately. Will be killed and silenced.

Thinking that Zhen Shiniang was just comforting herself, Magpie didn't take it seriously, and followed her and said, "...Miss just wants to save money to open a medicine hall. She can save every penny at present. Chang He has no other abilities and only has brute strength. Yesterday Shopkeeper Xu from the east end of the town asked him to help, and he even said he would come to your place to do it."

Zhen Shiniang thought for a moment, "That's fine. If he doesn't have any work to do, just come here. I won't have to hire him elsewhere. However, the wages are all based on the market price. This time, he won't be able to give up. Otherwise, don't come!"

"Miss!" Magpie's face turned red.

"...That's it." Zhen Shiniang waved her hand and looked at her again and said, "Brother Wu and Wen should enter school next year. I think I will resign from the nanny this winter."

The magpie was startled for a moment, and then said, "...that's good. This way, we can save more than six taels of silver a year. If we add more, it will be enough for their school fees. The slaves on the left and right can't go down to the lotus pond. From now on, the slaves will take them." , It's just..." She sighed, "After the general, with such a good talent, will it be buried in the school in the town?" She added, "I see that both of them are very active, especially Brother Wu, who can shoot with a slingshot. It's so accurate..." If it were placed in the general's palace, Shen Zhongqing would definitely spend a lot of money to hire the best martial arts masters and Western practitioners to enlighten them. Ten years later, he would be a majestic martial arts champion. Having said this, he thought of Zhen Shiniang attitude, the magpie's voice stopped abruptly.

Only one pair of eyes looked at Zhen Shiniang faintly.

Zhen Shiniang doesn't understand this truth. She remembers that the most common words said by parents in her previous life who expected their children to succeed were, "...We must never let our children lose at the starting line."

These two children are talented and active. She should find a martial artist to train them.

But how can she have money?

Their father is indeed rich, but unfortunately, thinking of Shen Zhongqing's meanness and venomous tongue, Zhen Shiniang shook her head inwardly, "Let's forget it. No matter how much money a father likes has, he can't raise a good son. Otherwise, why would there be so many dandy children?" A child's education depends not only on the quality of the teacher, but also on the precepts and deeds of the parents. He sighed and said, "Let's leave it like this for now. Who says that children of poor people don't have it? Talented?"
