Luming entertained all the gentlemen of Juren. It has to be said that the higher the literati circle is, the more they are respected. Half of the 70 people are half farmers and half educated, and a few like Zhou Ji Nian are half business and half educated.

However, they respect each other very much, and they probably all know that the money used to study is not easy to earn.

A small half of the new imperial examination candidates came from government schools, Zhou Jinian could chat with them, and he was the first in the provincial examination, many people came to toast, Zhou Jinian inevitably drank a few glasses of wine.

The mat broke up, and they were sent back by the sedan chair arranged by the state official.

After entering Zhou's residence, it was already dark, Zhou Jinnian drank a bowl of mung bean soup to hangover, and went to swim with Xie Ning before going to bed.

Seeing Zhou Jinnian's sleepy look, Xie Ning couldn't help but feel distressed, pointed to the tub in the corner and said: "I'll call the stone to fill me with water, I'll play in the tub for a while tonight and I'll be fine, you go to sleep. "

Zhou Jinnian squeezed his eye sockets, insisted: "Just go to the bathroom, I'll wash my face with cold water to wake me up."

"Just the tub!" Xie Ning went to hold Zhou Jinnian's face, and manually cooled the temperature of his husband, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy, I don't want you to stay up."

Zhou Jinian snorted and asked in a numb voice, "Does your heart hurt?"

Xie Ning is now sensible and obedient, "Well, my heart hurts."

The distressed Zhou Jinnian felt comfortable and full of energy. He went to move the tub out by himself, leaned against the bed, and filled it with water.I really don't want to be brave, I lie on the bed and close my eyes and plan to take a nap for a while.

Xie Ning got into the water and soaked for quite a while, he was really not too sleepy after sleeping for too long during the day, and Zhou Ji Nian used to coax him to sleep.

Every time I press here or there for him, it's like pressing into his sleeping hole.

Xie Ning couldn't help standing up in the bathtub, the baby was kicking his ribs again, and the force was not weak, "Hiss...ha..."

As the fetal movement ended, he immediately felt a pain in his stomach. He looked at Zhou Ji Nian who was lying on the bed, his chest rising and falling evenly with his breathing.

Forget it, it didn't hurt too much, Xie Ning pursed his lips, and sat back in the bathtub again.

Unexpectedly, the pain would come and go, and when the pain was really unbearable, Xie Ning hurriedly shouted: "Lonely Year...Lonely Year..."

Zhou Jinnian was very sensitive to his voice, and immediately opened his eyes at the second sound, turned his head to see Xie Ning's face turned pale, and immediately sat up and asked, "Leg cramp again?"

Xie Ning breathed out to ease the pain, and said softly, "He seems to be coming out..."

Zhou Jinnian got out of bed and hurried to call for someone. Luckily, Lin Jin slept late, so he told Mrs. Chen to find Mrs. Wen immediately, as well as the nanny she had found beforehand.

At night, Zhou's house is brightly lit.

Lin Jin and Zhou Jinnian hurried to the room, the former stepped over the threshold, stopped his son and said, "Don't come in, go boil the water."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door, Zhou Jinnian didn't force it, and hurried to the kitchen.

"Is Ning Lang hungry? Thirsty? It will take a while, you need to make up for it..." Lin Jin closed the door and turned around and said.

"Ouch! Why are you in the water?!"

Lin Jin was stunned, and hurried over to get Xie Ning out, how could Qingchao give birth in water?

Xie Ning held the edge of the bucket tightly with one hand, while stroking his belly with the other hand, the pain of speaking was gone, so he could only shake his head slightly, "...Hoo..."

Lin Jin had no choice but to ask his son to carry Ning Lang back to the bed and lie down. Who knows how soon he walked to the door, the sound of a baby crying came from behind.

Lin Jin came back in shock.

Xie Ning only felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes in pain, and then the baby slipped out. The newborn baby closed his eyes and mouth in the water. Xie Ning fished the baby out of the water, his hands couldn't stop shaking, His arms were tense from the pain before.

"Ahh..." Being carried out of the water, a baby with a small wet body but a clean body, with pink and wrinkled skin, was crying with his mouth wide open.

Xie Ning's belly was not big when she was pregnant, so the baby was only as long as Xie Ning's little arm, but her sharp and tender voice had a strong penetrating power.

Lin Jin hurriedly went to pick up the child, "This one is really clean..."

"Wow... ah..." The little baby grabbed and scratched with his small hands, and finally grabbed a strand of grandpa's hair, pretending that he was playing with the umbilical cord in his father's stomach.

For such a small baby, the sound of crying, the lung capacity is no less than that of an adult.

Zhou Jinian heard it clearly in the kitchen, so he directly gave the kitchen to Luhe and rushed back to the door of the room.

"Father, Ning Lang?" Zhou Jinian knocked on the door.

Lin Jin went to open the door and said first, "Is the water hot? Bring it here soon."

He smiled again from ear to ear, "He's a little brother, he's healthy."

Waiting for Mrs. Wen to arrive late, she only helped to sterilize the baby and Ning Lang with hot water, received a generous amount of happy money, and went back easily.

Only then was Zhou Jinnian allowed to enter the room, Xie Ning's face was still pale, and his face was more tired.

Seeing her husband sitting next to him, he blinked his eyes and then pursed his mouth. Before he could react, the pain was really terrible.

Zhou Jinnian went to hold his face and kissed him twice, "Ning Lang, thank you for your hard work."

Xie Ning pursed his mouth. The bustle and bustle outside, and the sound of a baby crying, he was suddenly startled, "Ji Nian, why is he crying so softly..."

Zhou Jinnian's warm palm caressed his forehead and comforted him: "He's just hungry, our son is healthy."

Lin Jin came to show Xie Ning his son wrapped in swaddling clothes, the joy on his face couldn't be stopped, "Look at Ning Lang, how beautiful it is."

It's really beautiful, clean, pink and tender, but a little thin, maybe it's because Xie Ning didn't like oily meat when she was pregnant, although she didn't eat less fish and shrimp.

Lin Jin also lifted off the swaddling clothes and showed Xie Ning the baby's little sparrow and the red mole on the navel. He was a little brother like Xie Ning.

Xie Ning rested his head on Zhou Jinnian's arm and raised his head to look at the child.The baby opened a thin eye slit, opened his mouth, and his little tongue was red and tender, "Mmmm...mmmm..."

The cry was delicate and weak, Xie Ning's nose was sore all of a sudden, Zhou Jinnian gently touched the little husband's face with his hands.

Xie Ning pursed his mouth and hoarse his voice to coax the baby, "Don't cry, be good."

Lin Jin looked at him and said, "Father takes him to breastfeed, he won't cry when he's full, let Ji Nian stay with you for a while, can you sleep for a while?"

Xie Ning blinked his eyes, wanting to appear sensible and obedient, and nodded slightly.

Lin Jin just went out with her baby in her arms. The nurse was next door, and several elders, including Xie Yao, followed. Seeing that the baby couldn't get enough of it, the baby went into the room to nurse, and they came back.

Zhou Jinian took a dry cotton towel and gently dried the little husband's hair, and coaxed him over and over again: "Go to sleep, Ning Lang, can you sleep?"

"Hmm..." Xie Ning closed his eyes, and responded with a soft snort. He was a little tired already, and just wanted to wait for the baby to drink his milk before taking another look.

"I'll watch over you, go to sleep."

"I want to see him again..."

"Sleep, I'll wake you up when he's full." Zhou Jinnian didn't want Ning Lang to stay up, so he covered Xie Ning's eyes with his palm, while the other hand was still helping to smooth his hair, drying it for sleep.

Waiting for the baby to eat and bring him back, the big one and the small one slept soundly, Zhou Ji Nian then seriously looked at his own flesh and blood.

When the baby was just born, he knew it was healthy, so he didn't go to see it. Ning Lang was in his heart, and he couldn't forget that when he came in, the lying Ning Lang looked aggrieved and scared.

His Ning Lang is still a 19-year-old young man. The two of them got married and grew up together. Not only did they live in a fixed place, he still had his father and dad by his side in Zhou Jinnian, but Xie Ning only had him in Zhou Jinian.

So how could he not love Ning Lang more?Along the way, although Zhou Jinnian is getting closer and closer to his family, his Ning Lang is getting farther and farther away from the family he grew up in. All this is because of him as a husband.

Ning Lang sacrificed so much for him, he can only put Ning Lang first in everything.

Xie Ning didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day. He woke up in excruciating pain, and his body hurt even if he lay still. He breathed lightly, "Huh..."

Listening to the outside nurse Liniang and Mrs. Chen chatting.

"I've never seen such a pet..."

"That is to say, you can tell who the golden baby is at a glance. Everyone else surrounds the child, but Nian Ye only sees the one lying in the middle."

"Master?"

"Ah, you still don't know? This little baby of yours, his father, but our No. 1 Yuezhou Prefecture Township Examination is Xie Yuan!"

"Ah... that's not a real master!"

"It's not bad! Don't look at this baby as a little brother, but you can spoil him. When he was in the stomach, Nian Ye read poems to his belly every day. The baby will grow up in the future!"

"Sister Chen, don't worry, I will definitely do my best." After all, the silver taels given by the Zhou family were enough for her to eat for three years.

"Hey, you can save yourself..."

Xie Ning pursed his lips and smiled, he himself was spoiled by Ji Nian, so he really wasn't that careful, he didn't care too much about it.But listening to other people muttering quietly, isn't it true that Zhou Jinnian's kindness to him can be seen everywhere in these little things of life.

Thinking about it this way, his body didn't hurt anymore, Xie Ning listened intently and continued to eavesdrop.

The sound of Lin Jin's footsteps stopped the two of them whispering enviously. Lin Jin stepped into the threshold and asked softly, "Are you awake?"

The two shook their heads, and Mrs. Chen answered again: "Both big and small are still awake."

"That's fine. Sister-in-law Chen, let's go eat, and Liniang, let's go..." Lin Jin still spoke softly, and went to pick up the little grandson in Liniang's arms.

Liniang followed Mrs. Chen out to eat.

Lin Jin walked into the room with his grandson in his arms, and happened to see Xie Ning with his eyes open, and hurried over, "Ning Lang is awake? Are you hungry?"

Xie Ning stretched his neck to look at the baby. Lin Jin sat on the bed with the baby in his arms. He lowered his body and handed the sleeping baby to him. Sound, softly, as if afraid of waking up your father."

Xie Ning reached out to touch the baby's pinkish little hands, the touch was delicate and delicate, just touching it made people's hearts melt.

"When I was in the stomach, I seldom troubled me. Why are you so obedient?"

"Hmm..." The baby snorted twice in the dream, stuck out its tongue with its small mouth, shook its small hands slowly, and then held onto Xie Ning's index finger.

Lin Jin then put the baby on Xie Ning's side, so that Xie Ning could hug the baby, "Watch him sleep for a while, dad will bring you a bowl of soup, Ji Nian was called by the official, he said about I'll be back with you in the afternoon."

Lin Jin really didn't know what kind of official it was, only that it was an official.

It wasn't long before Lin Jin walked away that the baby woke up, whimpering softly, making a 'hmm, hum, hum' sound.

Xie Ning propped himself up slightly, hooked the baby's chin with his fingers, "What's wrong? Daddy is holding you."

The baby's tender voice, and the baby's whimpering, probably heard a familiar voice, and opened its eyes with its small mouth open.

Xie Ning lowered his head slightly and wanted to take a closer look, but the baby squinted and rolled his eyes, then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

"Pfft..." Xie Ning was so adorable by his little eyes, he laughed twice.

Then he heard very familiar footsteps, and he could already clearly distinguish that his husband's footsteps were always sharp and steady.

Sure enough, when he looked up, it was Zhou Ji Nian, holding a wooden plate with plates and bowls on it.

First I was fed a small bowl of steamed eggs by my husband, and then I drank a bowl of millet soup.

While feeding, Zhou Jinian said, "I asked my elder brother to go back to the village to pick up my father-in-law. My son is too young, so I can only wrong my father-in-law to go to the city."

Xie Ning swallowed the millet soup in one gulp, "My father is coming?"

"Yes, come and see our son, are you happy?" Zhou Jinnian put down the spoon, and rubbed the back of Xie Ning's white and tender face.

Xie Ning nodded again and again, "Happy!" Thinking of his husband loving him so much, he whispered, "I think, the income from selling steamed eggplants will go to my father to buy a house in Fucheng, okay?"

Zhou Jinnian pondered for a while, "Is it enough money to sell dried eggplants?"

"I'm saving up slowly..." Xie Ning looked down at the child who was sleeping soundly, and said softly, "It's just that I eat fish every day in Fucheng, thinking that my father is still exposed to the wind and sun in the field." ..."

Zhou Jinnian scooped up another spoonful of millet soup and fed it, "When Wang Jiagui returns, calculate the silver taels, and if it is not enough, I will add it from home. My Ning Lang is filial and kind, and his husband should support him."

After finishing speaking, he praised Xie Ning, "Fish wontons and fragrant grilled fish are all thanks to my idea, Ning Lang. You can spend all the money in the family, and I'm on the left and right. I'll talk about father and father."

Their family did not buy a yard in the city. Zhou Jinnian’s silver and copying money were enough for the family to live in the city. Now the wontons in the town and the restaurants in the city are making pure profits every day.Their father, Lin Jin, is also good at living, and the family has already saved more than 800 taels of silver.

In the city, it can be considered that there is no need to worry about food and drink, and there is little property.

Xie Ning didn't say anything more, he still had the energy to make money in his heart.

The older one was full, and the younger one let out a few groans for a moment of meaning, and without giving the two fathers any time to prepare, they opened their mouths and began to cry. Lin Jin came in, hugged the baby, and hurried to find a nanny next door.

Xie Ning leaned against Zhou Jinnian's arms, feeling a little lazy when his stomach was full, and asked softly, "Have you named the child yet?"

"Shitou, go to my study and fetch the red seal on the desk." Zhou Jinnian called Shitou outside the door.

After the stones were fetched in a hurry, Zhou Jinnian unfolded them, pointed to Xie Ning one by one, and said, "Yu, meaning beautiful jade; Yu, meaning loyalty; Yu, meaning brilliant jade."

"Why are they all fish?" Xie Ning shook his head and looked up at her husband.

Zhou Jiqing smiled, "One is that you and I became friends because of fish; the other is that you are grateful for the disaster and you will be healthy and healthy; the third is that you love to eat fish." said in my heart.

Regardless of the previous life or this life, if Xie Ning hadn't been bitten by a carp, it would have been impossible for him to come to Zhou Jinnian's side.

Xie Ning reached out to touch the place where the baby lay just now, and said with a smile, "He was born in the water, so let's take Zhou Yu. May the source of life protect him to grow up safely and healthily."

"it is good."

The two husband and wife named their son together, nicknamed Brother Yu.

……

Brother Yu was born about ten days ago. He is very well-behaved. He cries a few times when he is hungry or tired. If someone hugs him, he will stop crying. Occasionally he will hum when he is anxious, which is very easy to take care of.

Zhou Zhai began to have people come to recommend themselves one after another, wanting to be a slave to the No. 1 Master Juren, and Zhou Ji Nian left behind a medicine man with some medical skills.

The medicine man's name is Qiang Huo, he was originally a homeless orphan, and was picked up by an old man to raise him.The old man passed away at a young age, and he came to Fucheng to be a little medicine man, and he came to the door to find a safe way out.

On the second day Qiang Huo moved into Zhou's residence, Shitou and Luhe went to kneel in front of Zhou Jinian.

"Master Nian, my sister and I are alone and helpless. If my sister is old enough to be sold again, I don't know where she will be sold! I beg you to buy our brother and sister. The two of us will be like cows and horses. Stealing and playing tricks!"

"I beg Nian to take pity on us. I, Luhe, swear that I will only do my best for the Zhou family in this life! Please..." The girl was more emotional. After Luhe finished speaking, tears fell, thinking of returning to Yaren's hands, She is bound to be sold, she has already reached the age of Ji, Brother Shitou can no longer protect her.

Lin Jin couldn't bear to look at the strangeness from the side, and hurriedly asked people to get up, but the two brothers and sisters kowtowed only to be bought by the Zhou family.

"It's not that I don't want to keep you, get up first." Zhou Jinnian asked the two of them to get up, sat back and explained slowly: "It's just that I have stepped into the official career now, and I will leave when my son Yu is older. Going to Beijing, if you keep your brothers and sisters, you must go to Beijing, the journey is far away, and it will be difficult to come back."

"That's okay, no matter whether you go to Beijing or go to the countryside, the stone is willing to serve the master along the way, and the light and heavy year master just calls, and the stone can be carried!"

"Lvhe is also willing, the Lord just asks."

Zhou Jinnian had some headaches. The whole family would travel without mentioning the expenses. Just going on the road would make a lot of noise, but after all, the two brothers and sisters had been serving them for more than a year.

"I don't need to wait on you, but I have to do my best to my husband. Ning Lang, you are my treasure." Zhou Jinnian put the words down first, not because he was careless, but it's better to talk first. , if someone has ulterior motives and hurts Ning Lang's heart, it will not be worth the candle.

Zhou Jinnian's voice was not loud, but calm and powerful, everyone in the room could hear him clearly.The nanny Liniang was naturally envious, but the servants including Qianghuo were vigilant.If you want to gain face in front of Master Juren, you have to please the one who just gave birth.

Lu He ran to Xie Ning and told Xie Ning in a blink of an eye. Xie Ning drank the chicken soup, and his heart was beautiful and sweet.

……

I don't know if all the babies are as easy to feed as Yu Geer. The three-month-old Yu Geer is very well-behaved, doesn't cry much, doesn't need to be put to sleep, really doesn't make much trouble.

And like Xie Ning, he loves water.If he cries badly, take a wooden basin and fill it with water, hold his soft and tender body to soak in the basin, and he will stop crying when he is comfortable.

The 93-day-old brother Yu was lying on the bed, with his two little claws curled up in front of his chest, and his two chubby feet were tightly wrapped. He kicked and kicked, and looked around with his little head up.

"Ah..." Brother Yu opened his small mouth, and made two ahhhs, then lowered his head when he was tired, and sighed "um".

Xie Ning checked the temperature of the water, listened to his son's soft voice, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, "Why are you still sighing? Brother Yu, don't you want to swim?"

It was freezing cold in January, Zhou Jinnian set up a brazier through the screen, went into the room, picked up his son and put it on his lap, clutching Brother Yu's belly.

Brother Yu can still eat, his bulging belly is full of milk, leaning against his father's arms, he stared blankly with his eyes open in a daze.

He's still young, and his reaction is slow and normal.

Stripped naked and put it in the wooden basin, as soon as it touched the water, Brother Yu became the most lively, "Ah! Ah!"

The white and tender chubby baby was lying on his father's arm, and his whole body was dipped in the water at an angle. There were two fleshy thighs, and there was only one line at the ankle. The little chubby legs had strength, and they moved slowly. And push the water vigorously.

"No kicking, it's Daddy who bathes you, not you." Xie Ning, who was soaked all over, pouted, and took a new cotton veil to cover the baby's belly.

After being squeezed twice, Brother Yu stopped kicking for the time being, Xie Ning gently wiped his body, "When I was just born, I looked skinny, it's only been three months, and I'm obviously only eating milk. , how chubby."

Zhou Jinian supported his son's head and neck with his right hand, and dragged his little butt with his left hand, bumping his fat and tender little butt in the water and said, "My son is easy to feed."

"That's it." Xie Ning was a little proud, it was born by him.

Quickly wiped his body, Yu brother hummed as soon as he hugged him, he especially likes water.

It was winter after all, Xie Ning picked him up deftly, brother Yu lying on the bed was held by his father and put on his clothes.After confirming that there was no water, he frowned faintly, wrinkled his nose and shouted: "Huh... ah..."

Xie Ning quickly dressed him softly and softly, knelt on the bed, leaned over and smiled face to face with his son, Brother Yu was so smart, he didn't shed a single tear, just shouting.

“啊!啊哼……啊哼……”他假哭喊一喊,抽抽气,过一会儿悄悄睁开眼睛,好像在看看有没有人理自己,看的专注,小嘴也乖乖地合上up.

The little man just lay flat like this, staring blankly at the sky with his eyes open, stopped shouting for a while, stuck out his little tongue, and held his two little paws in front of his chest to grab the air.

Xie Ning grinned, lowered his head and took a sip on his son's tender little face.Stuffed his index finger and let his son hold it, Brother Yu immediately clenched it tightly, the habit brought out from his father's stomach, one must hold something to be stable.

"Brother Yu is really good."

Zhou Jinnian wiped his hands, stood by the bed and looked at the big and the small, with a smile on his lips.

……

After Brother Yu's hundred-day banquet, Zhou Zhai received an edict from the official department, which brought bad news.

Adhering to the system of selecting meritorious officials and assigning officials to officials, the imperial court appointed Zhou Jinian as the magistrate of Jianzhou Prefecture and Nanyu County!

In the study, Xie Ning hugged Brother Yu, and Xie Yao sat opposite Zhou Jinnian, with a serious expression on his face, he exhaled and said, "Isn't this assignment going to cut off your official career in Beijing?"

It is true that there is a lot of glory in winning the Juren, but those with ambitions choose to go to Beijing to take the exam, and only after passing the Jinshi exam will they be retained as officials in the capital, and only then can they hope to enter the imperial court.

However, if you enter an official position as a master of Juren, your promotion will be very slow, and after you become a minor official, you will not be able to continue to take the exam, let alone seek a bigger official position.

Generally, the masters of juren are forced to do so, and they will only become petty officials if they fail the examination three times.

Zhou Jinian frowned slightly, he didn't understand, how could he be awarded an official position by the imperial court since he was the first in the exam in this life and was already Jie Yuan?It's just that the areas where they are assigned are different.

Zhou Jinian looked at Xie Ning who was sitting by the window. The son who was being carried had just passed a hundred days. Jianzhou Mansion was next door to their Yuezhou Mansion, but Nanyu County was far away, at the southernmost point of Jianzhou Mansion.

"Let's write a letter to the Hanlin University scholar. On the day of the Luming Banquet, he was full of praise for you, and he expressed his appreciation for you in words."

Zhou Jinnian pondered for a moment, "I'll think about it again."

A bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is not a real official, but a kind of honorary status. It is basically impossible to be active in the official department.

"Let's hurry up, the edict will only take office in September..."

Zhou Jinian shook his head, and said in a low voice, "The year is coming to an end, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver this letter."

"Yes, how can this be good?" Xie Yao sighed, and tapped his finger on the desk lightly.

Zhou Jinnian put down the edict in his hand, sighed softly: "Come on, we'll talk about it later in the year."

After he finished speaking, he got up and hugged Brother Yu, who was sleeping soundly in his father's arms, and suddenly changed into another embrace, and started humming after a whimper.

Xie Ning reached out and stroked his small chest, he let out a moan, and fell asleep again.
