Started to get rich after exile

Meng Huaisu just sat there all night, guarding Dongxia's bedside.

Dongxia lost too much blood and slept for a long time. The first thing he saw when he woke up was Meng Huaisu, his eyes lit up with surprise, and a trace of blood returned to his pale face.

Dongxia's body was sore after lying there for a long time, and she wanted to move, but Meng Huaisu quickly held her down.

"Don't move yet. The wounds on your body haven't healed yet. I'll give you some water before we talk."

Dongxia stretched out her hand and gently held his finger, smiling slowly.

Meng Huaisu carefully put some water on her throat and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Dongxia said with a hoarse voice, "It hurts me to death. I won't give birth to you again."

Meng Huaisu nodded seriously, curled his fingers, wanting to hold her tightly but afraid of hurting her, he gently circled her hand, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"No more births."

Dongxia had never seen Meng Huaisu look so unkempt before, so she reached out and tapped his stubbled chin, "Have you seen our son?"

"Not yet, they are watching."

"I haven't seen it either."

Dongxia only knew it was a son, and she fainted before she saw it.

"So we brought him!"

The door was gently pushed open, and Ming Lanying and He Bai walked in while guarding Aunt Meng.

Ming Lanying rubbed her hands to warm them up before stepping forward and touching Dongxia's face, "Fortunately, you're okay. You suddenly started bleeding, which scared us to death."

He Bai pointed at Meng Huaisu with a smile, "You don't know that when you were giving birth inside, Meng Huaisu's face turned pale when he was outside. Those who didn't know thought that you two were in pain together, which was scary."

Dongxia looked at Meng Huaisu in surprise. She always thought that Meng Huaisu was a reserved person. She didn't expect such a rude scene, but it was a pity that she didn't see it.

Aunt Meng smiled and put the baby next to her, "Look at this kid, he's just awake! He's very well-behaved, and he doesn't like to make trouble as much as Huai Su did when he was a child."

Dongxia and Meng Huaisu both looked over curiously, then stepped back together and slowly closed their eyes.

"Sister-in-law, why is he... so red and wrinkled..."

Meng Huaisu also consoled him: "I don't mind him no matter what he looks like."

Several people were stunned and burst into laughter.

He Bai laughed the loudest, "Dong Xia you! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha - you gave birth to a child, you have forgotten all your medical skills! Children who are less than two days old look like this, Meng Huaisu, you are disgusting A fart! Hahahahahahahahahahaha- "

Aunt Meng patted her arm dumbfounded, "Silly boy, you must be exhausted."

Ming Lanying and He Bai laughed together, "It doesn't matter, I'll ask the kitchen to make you some extra food in the past two days to make up for what you've lost!"

Dongxia was startled, and it took her a while to come to her senses. She blushed and took the soft pillow next to her to cover herself.

"I...how could I forget such an important thing..."

Aunt Meng slapped Meng Huaisu and taught him a lesson: "These days, you should learn more from Wang Ye and Mr. Zhao. When you become a father for the first time, you should behave like a father. Don't imitate that boy Lang Tao. He is also a loser." of."

Meng Huaisu: "...Yes."

The little baby on the bed was upset by the laughter of several people and raised his fists in dissatisfaction.

He Bai stretched out his fingers to tease him. The little guy, who hadn't even opened his eyes yet, touched something at hand and held her fingers weakly.

The soft touch made Hebai's eyes widen, "Sister-in-law! He caught me!"

Ming Lanying smiled helplessly, "By the way, have you decided on this little guy's name?"

Dongxia looked at Meng Huaisu, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. They had already agreed on the pregnancy time of more than nine months.

Dongxia looked at Minglan Ying, her eyes were bright, like stars.

"My name is Meng Chao, and my nickname is Chao Chao."

Meng Huaisu said slowly: "The fortune is coming, the dynasty of Mu Muliang."

"Okay, Chao is good." Aunt Meng smiled and looked at little Meng Chao lovingly.

Although the Meng family is gone, the blood of the Meng family is still there, and the inheritance of the Meng family is still there. No one will forget the people of the Meng family.

He Bai looked at Ming Lanying in confusion, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

Ming Lanying shook her head, how could she know.

Meng Huaisu looked at his son who was still red and wrinkled. This was a new life with his and Dongxia's blood.

"The world is turning around, time is moving forward, the warm season has arrived, this is new life."

He Bai exclaimed and teased little Meng Chao childishly, "It's different to be knowledgeable! Little Chao Chao, little Chao Chao, grow up soon. When you grow up, my aunt will take you up the mountain to catch rabbits to eat, hehe..."

Ming Lanying: "..."

Aunt Meng smiled helplessly, "Okay, let Dongxia rest, let's do whatever we need to do when we go out."

Ming Lanying picked up Hebai's collar and said, "Dongxia has given birth to the baby here, it's time to discuss the matter between you and Shan Zhao."

"Hey, hey, hey! What can happen to us? It's just this! Don't be in a hurry, it's almost Sister Tang Ning's wedding. Let's go find Sister Tang Ning first. I haven't reported to Sister Tang Ning that she's safe yet!"

Hebai was carried away staggeringly.

"Tell Tang Ning that she is safe. Have you met her?"

"Yeah! Sister Tang Ning knows that something happened to you, and she is so anxious that she wants to come over to find you together!"

Ming Lanying was surprised, stretched out her hand and flicked her forehead, "Did you tell her that?"

"Oh! We just happened to meet each other, we can't hide it! You haven't written to her for a long time, and she is thinking about her..."

Ming Lanying thought it was true. Not only had she not written to Tang Ning for a long time, the Queen also wanted to write a letter of condolences.

"I'll sort out the matter between you and Shan Zhao later. Let's write a letter first."

Just as they were walking to the study, Manager Chang hurried over and said, "Princess, people from the Tang family's caravan outside the mansion have sent several carts of things. They said they were specially sent by Miss Tang Ning."

Ming Lanying turned a corner and asked, "What is it?"

"Some precious medicinal materials and rare gadgets, some of which look like they came from the Western Regions."

"Western Regions? Tang Ning is too busy with her wedding to do business. Could it be that she went to the Spring Festival?"

He Bai shook his head, "No, I will not leave Sister Tang Ning in Fengchun."

Manager Chang reminded with a smile: "Could it be Miss Tang's fiancé, the second son of the Shen family? I heard that the second son of the Shen family also likes to collect some rare objects from all over the world."

"The information is quite good!"

"Don't dare, that's what a kid should do."

Manager Chang's smiling eyes shone with shrewdness and calculation. His father had told the siblings since they were young that as a qualified and all-around steward next to his master, he could help his master solve his problems and grasp the trends and news in the capital as basic qualities.

Ming Lanying looked at a large box of various treasures from the Western Regions, and nodded thoughtfully, "Then Mr. Shen is quite a good person, and he can get along well with Tang Ning."

He Bai looked at a large box of rare things with bright eyes.

"Wow! It's a relief plate made of real gold, inlaid with such big gems! Can the elbow be eaten? Wow! The pattern on this carpet is so special! And it's furry?! Wow! Is this a glazed wine jug? It's also inlaid with A circle of gems! Sister-in-law, look!"

Ming Lanying covered her face helplessly. She is a dignified fifth-grade female general. You can say that she has never seen the world and screamed. She can still accurately recognize everything.

"Take it if you like it, don't be embarrassed here."

"Ouch! Then I want this golden plate to put dumplings on tonight!"

Manager Chang looked at the big round plate in her hand hesitantly, and wanted to remind him that it was a decoration and could not be used to hold dumplings, but seeing He Bai's excited look, he silently shut his mouth.     Forget it, the princess is doting on her, so it will affect the taste of the dumplings.

Ming Lanying looked at several boxes of good medicinal materials and a box full of rare gadgets. It was obvious that Tang Ning didn't even have time to write a letter, so she had someone deliver them quickly.

This precious friendship made Ming Lanying feel warm in her heart.

He called He Bai to write a reply and blew a whistle to call the mistress.

Hai Dongqing heard the sound and rushed over, rubbing her hand coquettishly. Ming Lanying rolled up the letter and patted the mistress on the head.

"Go, go find Tang Ning first, and then go to the palace."

Haidongqing gave her a resentful look, and Minglanying coaxed it nicely for a while before fluttering its wings and flying away.

"My wife has never coaxed me like this."

Ming Lanying looked at the sound and raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Why are you back so early?"

Ye Juelu stepped forward and rubbed her face, "I'm preparing to return to Beijing. I'm just explaining the things I'm doing. There's not much else to do."

Ming Lanying was tickled by the rubbing, with a smile in her eyes, "Where's Ning'er?"

"Still in the military camp, Ning'er said that his plan remains unchanged."

Ming Lanying sighed, "It's good for Ning'er to have her own ideas. She is much more independent-minded than a mother like me."

Ye Juelu chuckled softly, "It doesn't matter. You have me and Ning'er. You only have to do what you like and don't have to worry about anything."

Ming Lanying chuckled, and her hand slid down erratically from Ye Juelu's shoulder and landed on the straight part.

The voice was deliberately lowered, with an ambiguous and seductive aura.

"really?"

Ye Juelu's tailbone trembled slightly, he nodded with a red face, and responded in a low voice, "Yes."

He had taken Mr. Zhao's medicine for three courses, and finally finished it. He didn't have to worry about whatever he did in the future.

Ming Lanying's eyes immediately shone, staring at him like a wolf, "Wash yourself clean tonight and wait for me -"

Ye Juelu couldn't help but raise his hand to cover her mouth, his eyes evasive, "I know, stop talking."

"Hey hey hey..."

Ming Lanying planned to wait until Dongxia was in confinement before leaving, so she purposely left Dongxia in the palace. She was afraid that her unhappiness during Dongxia's confinement would affect her health.

But it was obvious that she was worrying too much. With Mr. Zhao here, how could her own granddaughter not care, and Ming Lanying was there to support her with all kinds of delicious food and drinks.

Dong Xia felt so sorry that she could just be Ming Lanying's concubine in her next life.

Meng Huaisu felt choked in his heart when he heard this outside the door.

Not to mention that Aunt Meng treated Dongxia as her own daughter and beat Meng Huaisu at every turn.

Meng Huaisu was also asked to ask Mr. Zhao and Ye Juelu how to be good fathers. Even official duties were temporarily delegated to Ming Langtao, and he was not allowed to disturb winter and summer rest at will.

Ming Lanying felt that after the winter and summer confinement period, Meng Huaisu would suffer from postpartum depression.

Meng Huaisu learned postpartum care knowledge from Mr. Zhao in the morning, and in the afternoon prepared with Aunt Cai how to make complementary food for the baby during the weaning stage.

You can only meet Dongxia when you have dinner in Chaochao. You can't talk too much to affect Dongxia's mood. The rest of the time, you are busy teaching your children to learn knowledge.

Dongxia, on the other hand, just ate and slept every day. When she was awake, she wanted to chat with Minglan, Yingying and the others, so she would call someone else. Otherwise, she could just read and embroider, living a comfortable life without any worries.

He Bai didn't mind watching the excitement, so he and Shan Zhao climbed up the wall to watch the show.

He Bai clicked his tongue from time to time, but when he turned his head, he saw that Shan Zhao was also studying seriously.

"Hey! You've been demoted! Meng Huaisu is studying to be a father. Why are you studying so seriously?"

Shan Zhao turned his head and pricked up his ears to look carefully, and said perfunctorily: "You don't understand. This is for me to study in advance for the future. I know it well."

"cut."

This was not the first time that Ming Lanying met them. They had been lying down for almost half a month. When passing by, they could see two butts lying on the wall of Mr. Zhao's yard.

Ming Lanying endured it for half a month and finally couldn't bear it anymore. She patted the little black panther and said, "Go up and scare them."

The little black panther twitched its ears, rushed forward, squeezed in between the two of them, and roared.

He Bai and Shan Zhao were unprepared and were startled. They pulled each other and rolled down.

Ming Lanying put her hands on her hips and looked down at the two people who fell together.

"The two generals are very idle. Are you climbing up the wall here to watch the fun? It's been so long since you've been back. Have you ever been to the barracks? How many of your men have recognized it?"

The two laughed dryly, He Bai pressed on Shan Zhao and scratched his head.

"I heard Ming Langtao say that Meng Huaisu is under great pressure to raise a child. Let's come to comfort him."

Shan Zhao stretched out his arm and helped the two of them sit up. He saw that she was wearing a cloak and was about to go out with a few servants.

"Where are you going, sister-in-law?"

Ming Lanying slapped her forehead and said, "Go and inspect the shop. Since you have nothing to do, come with me and go to the military camp to go through the process."

The two of them responded in unison, "Ouch! Got it!"

Ming Lanying did not take Aunt Cai with her and asked Aunt Cai to take care of Dongxia in the house. She held the little black panther and a small snake in her sleeves. She was followed by two maids and six bodyguards. She felt very safe. .

Although the weather in the frontier is still cold, it is much warmer than the cold winter, and the hibernating animals are also waking up and moving.

Ming Lanying also did something for herself, inspecting the shops, checking on the situation of the big restaurants, and taking a look at whether there was any profitable business, so as to make some money.

Manager Chang accompanied her all the way. Ming Lanying was not familiar with the economic structure of the frontier fortress, but as the all-powerful pillar of the palace, Manager Chang was already familiar with it and explained it to her in detail.

Ming Lanying listened to this quite seriously. At least she was familiar with it.

The economic development of the frontier fortress is very weak due to the remoteness of the terrain and the poor quality of the people.

But this will be Ye Juelu's territory from now on, and it will definitely not always be like this. For example, the bookstore next door to Wangfu has been well received since its opening.

Ye Juelu's idea is to slowly expand it to all frontiers, which can increase per capita knowledge and allow students in remote areas to have the opportunity to read more books.

It can also become a channel for collecting news and information, and keep track of students' thoughts at any time.

Ming Lanying just silently gave a thumbs up after hearing this. People's brains look different.

She just wanted to make some money to live, and Ye Juelu thought about using this to collect information and then use the information.

The incident at the drug store showed that Lanying was just a temporary idea and did not want to continue. However, considering the current situation of the frontier, rapid development was not feasible.

But no matter what, food and medicinal materials are life-saving. Ming Lanying thought that she might as well continue to control the medicinal materials for the frontier.

After hearing this, Manager Chang said it was okay, but it couldn't be done openly, it could only be done secretly, otherwise there would be consequences.

Ming Lanying thought about it, it was the same. The tree was big and attracted the wind, so if you could save yourself from trouble, just keep a low profile.

The continued acquisition of drug stores was put on the agenda, plans had to be written, and they had to be carried out secretly.

But the latest thing right now is to return to the capital to attend Tang Ning's wedding.

Ming Lanying took a detour to the restaurant to find shopkeeper Li and gave him new recipe recipes. She also thought of launching a preferential set meal during the festival and discussed it with shopkeeper Li for a while.

Shopkeeper Li thought it was feasible, so Ming Lanying simply wrote a simple and general plan to him, and shopkeeper Li looked at it and improved it.

The restaurant’s holiday discount package event is officially launched.

Ming Lanying happily counted the money and planned to give Tang Ning a big gift.
