Chapter 107 Mercury Retrograde

"I really didn't expect that you cared so much about these things. But the child in the womb is innocent after all. You can't talk about the child's future. Could it be that he is also like you, fleeing famine all day long?"

Su Moqing took off her mask, saw Hongmei crying at the door of the thatched cottage, took off the cloak she was wearing, and reached out to bring it to her. Seeing her crying, her phoenix eyes deepened, did she feel that she had let her down? up.

"Second Young Master, stop talking, come in and drink some water."

Hongmei rubbed her belly, walked in from one side while holding the threshold with some difficulty, her embroidered shoes with worn out toes seemed more shabby, she watched Huan Er's candlelight eyes on the table, although not as charming as usual, but once The elegance still exists.

"I just don't want him to be like his father, fighting and killing. I probably know something about the arsenal. You can see that they are bright and beautiful, and they can make a lot of money. Once the war is raging, their lives cannot be saved."

Hongmei stretched out her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes twice, crystal tears slowly dripped from her eyes, "I wanted to marry into the Su family because I had improper ideas. After all, the Su family is a big family, black and white. Dao has strong strength, no matter how much war is fought, the Su family can still get a good source of business with their contacts, and the child will follow the Su family, even if it is just a concubine, life will be easy."

"Better?" Su Moqing's phoenix eyes turned cold, and she stared closely at Hongmei's side face, "Have you ever thought that I didn't touch you at all, is it my child? You can hide it from my eyes and make him feel better." Live the life of a young master in the Su family? If the entire Su family's brains are so dull, it's really worrying."

Su Moqing put down the tea in her hand, looked up at the shabby appearance of the room, "It's just an excuse to talk too much, was it because he was the only one who was willing to give money and didn't ask for it? The man you dedicated yourself to?"

Hongmei's eyes trembled, her hand touching her belly trembled, her eyes turned red, she didn't know what to say, she just lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea in front of her with a guilty conscience.

"What happened back then, now I don't ask for it anymore, I don't ask for anything, I just want to be able to run far away with my children, and I don't want to get involved in the right and wrong anymore."

"You feel guilty, so you give yourself to him as a gift. You think he gave you the money, but that's what he thought in the end! Did you ever know that when someone came to him to talk about business, he didn't ask for money, but for ability Marrying you, I just want to persuade you to go back and marry him, but you go completely as soon as you leave, do you really think all men's sincerity is so dirty?"

Hongmei frowned, and looked aside, "Second Young Master, you are serious. You planted willows and willows unintentionally to make shade, but you planted flowers if you wanted to. I also used many unimaginable means to make you fall in love with me. After all, there is none."

Su Moqing coughed twice, "You're not my type, no matter how hard you try, it's useless?"

"But Da Bang is different. You are his whole life. Now you have run away with the child, how will you let him live the rest of his life with guilt?"

"The arsenal will be merged soon. As long as you go back, Dahong will bring everyone in that factory to join the church. Safety is guaranteed, and you and your children are also guaranteed. What else do you have to worry about?"

"Do you really think it's easy to take care of a child alone?"

Hongmei turned her face sideways, tears fell drop by drop, but she was unwilling to give in, "I have never been respected by anyone in my life, but Da Pang treats me well. I am not stupid, I know. But after I marry you , You spread the news of your death before the big wedding, making me a widow, how can you tell me these seemingly sincere words?"

Su Moqing was speechless for a moment.

"I was indeed plotted against, and it wasn't intentional. If you ignore your child's father because of my fault, aren't you a little too absurd!"

This is a catastrophe. If the arsenal can't be rebuilt, I don't know how many people will die.And all of this is dominated by Hongmei and the child in her womb.

The problem was, she refused to agree to go back.

There was a look of helplessness in his bloodshot eyes.Although he has no feelings for Hongmei, his respect is undiminished. After all, Hongmei used to tie him up and hide it from Li Jiang's eyes, making Li Jiang believe that he is just a playboy, so that he would not treat him every step of the way. Plans are carefully considered.

Outside the window, the cold wind blew against the tattered paper window, and Hongmei's hands were flushed from the cold, but she still didn't want to reach out and take Su Moqing's clothes and put them on.

What she thinks in her heart is very simple, if you didn't give it before, you begged on your knees, but now you kneel down to beg me, she doesn't want it.

Su Moqing sighed, and took out a 1 tael bank note from her waist, "This money is enough for you to find a place to live and spend your whole life. If you really don't want to, just accept the money." .”

Hongmei glanced at it, then shook her head, "No need, our mother and child are destined to live and die, so we don't want to live, Second Young Master, go back now, don't try to persuade me anymore."

Su Moqing had never begged anyone so lowly in his life. He knew that Hongmei was a temperamental woman, so he must still be angry with Su Moqing's attitude towards her at that time and making her an unclear widow.

If it was normal, Su Moqing would directly summon her subordinates, and tie her back.But not now, Yinbao's hall doesn't pay attention to these things, everyone is equal, even if Hongmei is tied back, she will definitely not listen to others, Da Hang is unwilling, once Su Moqing's identity is restored If it is exposed, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

Su Moqing got up resolutely, went out and lifted her robe, and knelt on the ground without saying a word. Hongmei got up hurriedly in shock, and stepped forward to support the threshold. She subconsciously wanted to go up to support it, but she didn't step forward.

The beautiful and tired face revealed sadness and doubts, "Second Young Master, what are you doing, hurry up!"

Su Moqing raised her hand, her dark eyes resolutely said, "Go in, don't worry about me, I think I'm sorry for you, since you refuse to follow me back, then I'll kneel here until you agree!"

Hongmei's voice trembled, and she looked back at the bank note on the table, thinking about the respect and kindness Da Bang had shown her in the past.But it's not been a day or two since she and Su Moqing have had an affair. If she goes back and tells her that this is his child, might he believe it?
In the middle of the night, with the candles burning, Su Moqing knelt outside the door, and Hongmei lay on the couch.She never thought that one day, the dignified Second Young Master Su would actually kneel in front of her door for a business.

After thinking for a long time, Hongmei sat up again. Although she persuaded herself not to be obsessed with money, she couldn't stop staring at the silver on the table.

What a fine person Su Moqing is, the church he joins will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and then she and the child in her womb will have a good life, isn't this better than fleeing famine?

Furthermore, Hongmei originally wanted Su Moqing to take advantage of her and treat the child in her womb as a concubine of her own family. Who knew that Su Moqing was a man with a different appearance, and on the surface he created a life of debauchery and sensuality. But he doesn't have much interest in women at all.

Let her not find a chance.Besides, she couldn't hide her belly just after getting married. If Mrs. Su didn't care about these things, or her conscience admitted that this was Su Moqing's child, otherwise she wouldn't have got the whole body long ago.

Thinking of this, Hongmei settled down, in troubled times, it is also a good thing to have someone to rely on.She got up and went forward, put on a gown, and gently opened the door.

Su Moqing raised her eyes, her aloof and delicate appearance was particularly good-looking against the moonlight, so that Hongmei couldn't tell if she agreed to act with him at the time, whether it was out of money, or the joy that she couldn't get for countless moments.

In the end, Hongmei finally sighed, "Okay, I will."

The arsenal was decorated with lights and festoons, and there was joy inside and out. Da Bang was wearing a festive red gown that he hadn't made for a long time, sitting on a bench in the room, his forehead dripping with sweat.

Hongmei beside her bowed her head and smiled, and handed him the rice hairpin in her hand without any explanation, seeing that Da Hang was very happy in her heart, and immediately burst into joy.

Starting from the second day, the arsenal fully notified production, and everyone devoted themselves to improving the drainage system and improving the river.

Half a year later, the red plums were about to give birth, the composition of the river had all returned to normal, and the alkalinity of the soil had reached normal. Su Moqing took the few men of the farming division to take the lead in farming on a paddy field.

It was not smooth at the beginning, the weather was hot and there was no rain. Although the river water was very clear, artificial irrigation was still needed in places farther away.

Su Moqing had a headache for a long time, and asked the head of the family what could be done. The elder brother called Mr. Zhuge, marked the composition of the soil and the winding of the river, and decided to build a small river in the middle of the farmland, and use the high terrain for irrigation.

After three months like this, Su Moqing finally planted saplings on the paddy field. Everyone was very happy. After the river irrigation was resumed, the paddy field had very good soil fertility and great production potential.

The departments and departments began to discuss the development of cultivated land and put it on the agenda, because the scale of the church was getting bigger and bigger, and many departments were not complete, Yinbao decided to open a few more departments.

Including the Rites Department, which is in charge of silk, satin and cotton clothing, the Household Department, which is in charge of personnel transfers and dormitory arrangements, and the General Department, which is specialized in logistics.

Jin Lian and Cui Mei are in charge of the Rites Division. Hu Division and Tong Division have not yet selected a suitable person, so Mr. Zhuge will be temporarily in charge.

This afternoon, under the shade of a tree outside, Dr. Wen took out a pack of silver needles from the medicine box, and gently pressed the ends of the needles on Yinbao's temples on both sides, and the color of Yinbao's different pupils slowly faded away. Yes, the eyes seem to be able to see some things, just like myopia, blurred and unreal.

Doctor Wen said with a smile, "Hallmaster's illness is about to heal, and it's normal to be blurred. You should pay attention recently, don't tie your eyes too tightly. After a while, you should be able to recover your eyesight." .”

Yin Bao nodded with a smile, turned his face slightly, and Xing Qiu at the side immediately understood the meaning, and hurriedly took out a few brand new copper plates from his waist and put them on Doctor Wen's medicine box.

Doctor Wen shivered with a smile. After putting the copper plate into his pocket, he looked at Yin Bao's cold and serious face, he was afraid to speak, and was silent for a long time.

Yin Bao held the white gauze in her hand, she knew that Dr. Wen might have other things to do today, after thinking about it, she opened her mouth and asked, "Is the business of Mizhuang easier to do now?"

Dr. Wen shook his head repeatedly and sighed, "Oh, how can it be good? Not long after your family moved away, a war broke out. Every day is full of artillery fire, and it is impossible to drive."

Immediately afterwards, a cunning flashed in Dr. Wen's eyes, "Could it be that the hall master has some relatives in Luoyang who knew about the upcoming war in Mizhuang in advance?"

A self-deprecating smile immediately appeared on the corner of Yinbao's lips, "What is Doctor Wen talking about, you might as well tell me that I can pinch and count."

"Master, do you think you still need a doctor here? I think the master is a master to follow."

Yinbao immediately regained his dignity, and said calmly, "If necessary, I will send someone to find you, doctor."

Doctor Wen said hello repeatedly, and went out with the medicine box on his back, without letting Xingqiu deliver it.

Xing Qiu watched the old doctor leave slowly, remembered that a few days ago the hall master was talking about wanting to train a group of doctors who can see a doctor and prescribe medicine, but today he rejected him.

Xing Qiu asked cautiously, "Master, this doctor Wen has excellent medical skills, and he has treated you for such a long time. His experience is very mature. Why don't you want to keep him?"

Yinbao reached out to touch the tea on the table, and Xingqiu hurriedly handed it to her, "I've met this person a long time ago, and I don't like his mature and experienced skills at all."

"The doctor is benevolent, but he thinks too much about himself when he encounters a problem. Such a person is not useful."

Xingqiu let out a groan, and listened as if she didn't understand, but she was still thinking about other things.

Yesterday, Xingqiu heard that several girls in the back kitchen who had not left the cabinet were talking about the marriage of the two heads.The head of the family is busy all day calculating with Mr. Zhuge to see how to use the treasury of the church reasonably.

On the contrary, the second leader is warm-hearted and kind, and spends some time in the back kitchen every day to study recipes. Most of the girls originally liked the back kitchen, so they all fell in love with the second leader.

This way, everyone is close to the water, and Xingqiu is still far away from the ground. She is afraid that if the second in charge is really taken away, what should I do?

Thinking about it, the pressure on his hand was painful before he knew it, and Yinbao was more and more sore from being pressed, and hurriedly shouted, "Xingqiu, it's okay, it's not what you want, why are you so press it?"

Xingqiu asked aggrievedly, "Master, if I want to marry the second headed family as a daughter-in-law, would you be willing to help me talk about the matchmaker?"

Yin Bao laughed twice, "You are thinking about how to be my second sister-in-law! The second brother has a delicate mind, no matter how much others say, it will be superfluous, so don't worry about it."

Xingqiu let out an oh, but didn't speak.The eyes are very complicated.
