My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

On an early summer morning, the sky is blue and cicadas are chirping on the trees.

With her bulging belly, Su Yunwan and Yin Ruoshu were walking on the road in Beiling Village. Behind them were several maids and guards.

A gust of wind blew and the wheat waves rolled.

"Looking at the wheat ears growing here, a good harvest is not a problem." Yin Ruoshu is not a Central Plains woman who never leaves the house. She knows what ordinary wheat looks like.

In contrast, new wheat seeds can double the income, which is just around the corner.

In the past few months, Qin Junyi has been fighting in the north and south, and rarely returns home. He brought Qin Junxian to his side for training, and asked Qin Mu, who was also responsible for palm punishment, to stay in Beiling Village and arrange food and grass.

Yin Ruoshu didn't know the source of the Qin family's food and grass. Seeing the trucks of food and grass being transported from Beiling Village to various places every day, she couldn't help but worry that there would be a day when food and grass were tight.

The Qin family has not harvested a grain of wheat since they came to Youzhou in the winter last year, so they rely solely on purchasing grain and grass from other places.

If the source of food and grass is cut off by the enemy, the morale of the rapidly growing army will be unstable and the situation will be endangered.

Nowadays, the Qin family must not only resist the nomads from the north who take advantage of the chaos to invade, but also control the local powerful and forcefully promote political reforms. They must also expand their territory as quickly as possible and at the same time, introduce people fleeing from foreign enemies to increase their strength.

During this period, everything was inseparable from the support of food and grass.

Fortunately, winter wheat harvesting has begun in other areas outside Yanyun County. In addition to the tax grain harvest, the Qin family also received a harvest from military fields.

As for the new variety of spring wheat, it will be harvested in another month.

Su Yunwan looked at the green ocean-like wheat field, smiled lightly, and caressed her bulging belly: "When the wheat matures, I can unload it."

Pregnancy in ten months was like a long but short dream. It was a brand new experience that filled her with expectations for her baby.

Yin Ruoshu smiled and then said worriedly: "By then, Brother Qin will be back, right?"

Since ancient times, giving birth to a woman has been like walking through the gates of hell, not to mention that Su Yunwan is still pregnant with twins, which will only make it more difficult.

In the past few months of getting along, she had become very familiar with Su Yunwan's indifferent temperament. Even though Qin Junyi was away fighting, Su Yunwan didn't show much concern.

But she knew that no matter how indifferent and strong a person was, she would still hope that her husband would be nearby to accompany her when she was weak during childbirth.

"Well, he will be back soon." Su Yunwan said with a smile.

Qin Junyi is not around, but he often writes letters back.

Sometimes there are several pages of words, sometimes there are only a few sentences, but between the lines, except for the code words at the beginning to express his current situation, the last few sentences all reveal a deep concern.

A recent letter stated that he was in the process of handing over government and military affairs and would be returning in the near future.

Just when Su Yunwan recalled the contents of the letter, several figures on horseback appeared at the entrance of the village.

The sound of horse hooves was heard, and several maids behind them turned around to take a look, and shouted in surprise: "It's the Lord, madam, the Lord is back!"

Su Yunwan stood firmly on the spot, watching Qin Junyi, who was taking the lead in the distance, approaching quickly, and then stopped with a rope.

He flew off his horse and strode up to Su Yunwan. When he saw the round belly, his heart tightened suddenly and he forced a smile: "Wanwan, I'm back."

Su Yunwan smiled and said: "We were talking about you, and you arrived."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Junyi gently hugged her into her arms and asked in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you miss me?"

Su Yunwan chuckled, let him go, and looked carefully for a while, "Are you hurt?"

Qin Junyi shook his head: "No."

For him, military operations have long been as common as drinking tea and water, and every battle is under his control.

On the contrary, in terms of post-war governance, we encountered a lot of resistance from the middle and upper classes.

As for the common people, with the temptation of improved wheat seeds and various new policies that benefit the people, they are eager for the local government to submit to the Qin family.

Then, Qin Junyi looked at Yin Ruoshu: "Miss Lao Ruoshu has taken care of Wanwan during my absence."

"Brother Qin, you're welcome. I don't dare to take the credit. With Wanwan here, I can adapt to this place better." Yin Ruoshu waved her hand.

Qin Junyi added: "Third brother is sometimes too tough. If he doesn't take good care of you and wrongs you, feel free to come to me and Wanwan and we will teach him a lesson."

Yin Ruoshu smiled and said gracefully: "Then Brother Lao Qin will make the decision."

At this moment, Su Yunwan felt a hard and tight feeling in his abdomen, accompanied by a falling feeling.

Her body suddenly stiffened, and Qin Junyi, who was always paying attention to her, noticed her and asked nervously: "What's wrong, Wan Wan, what's wrong with you?"

Regular labor pains emerged from the abdomen, and Su Yunwan broke out in thin sweat on his forehead: "I might be giving birth."
