Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 284 The First Anti-Bandit Alliance ([-])
Next, Li Xiafang asked Xiaoli to put away the bath water, and Qiu Tianxing changed his clothes and went to bed after washing and went to sleep.But Li Xiafang next to him kept tossing and turning, thinking repeatedly how to bring Xiaoli in.Although Li Xiafang wanted to make rice with rice and let Xiao Li go to bed instead of her, but Li Xiafang was also afraid of her husband, and now that her husband had declined, Li Xiafang didn't dare to do anything wrong.In this way, Li Xiafang did not fall into a deep sleep until Chou Shi.

At the beginning of the second day, Qiu Tianxing woke up from his deep sleep, and Li Xiafang was no longer by his side.After repeatedly brushing his teeth and washing his face and toilet every day, Qiu Tianxing walked to the restaurant a hundred steps away.Although Qiu Tianxing arranged the main room and the concubine's room separately, the restaurant still shared the same place. After all, both the main room and the concubine's room were a family, and Qiu Tianxing didn't want them to be too separated from each other.

When Qiu Tianxing entered the restaurant, he found that everyone was present.It's just that everyone didn't eat, but waited for the arrival of the head of the family.

After greeting each other politely, Qiu Tianxing patted Qiu Dining's little head, squeezed Qiu Dijing's little face, then walked to his seat and sat down.

"Eat!" Qiu Tianxing said.

These words seemed to be an order, Zhou Xiu's personal maid Xiaolan and Li Xiafang's personal maid Xiaoli who stood on both sides of the dining table immediately began serving porridge and sharing breakfast.Xiaolan gave Qiu Tianxing a bowl of porridge, while Xiaoli brought a fried dough stick that was still steaming. When the eyes of the two met each other, there was a spark.Then the two turned their heads and stopped looking at each other, but served their master wholeheartedly.Xiaolan served porridge for Zhou Xiu, buns for Qiu Dining, and a bowl of egg custard for Qiu Dijing.Xiaoli poured a bowl of plum juice for Li Xiafang, and Li Xiafang had a bad appetite after getting upset, and she ate very little for breakfast.

For a while, there was only the sound of chewing when swallowing food on the dining table. After drinking a bowl of porridge, eating a deep-fried dough stick, and killing a salted duck egg, Qiu Tianxing felt a little full.He looked at Zhou Xiu and asked with concern.

"Is Jinger better?"

Qiu Dijing has been ten months old, and she had diarrhea some time ago, which made Qiu Tianxing anxious for a long time.The level of medical care in this era is low, and Qiu Tianxing's usual cold and fever in his previous life would be fatal at this time, and diarrhea is also very dangerous if it persists for a long time.Fortunately, Qiu Dijing's condition improved in the past two days, which made Qiu Tianxing heave a sigh of relief.Qiu Tianxing thought that when he pinched Qiu Dijing's little face just now, she seemed to have no energy, so he asked.

"Husband, Jing'er is already much better, but the food is not very delicious. This is also not long after weaning, and it will be better after a while."

Zhou Xiu did not find a nanny for Qiu Dijing, she always felt that if her daughter sucked other people's milk, she would not kiss her, so Zhou Xiu insisted on breastfeeding herself.It's just that not long ago, her milk became less and less, and finally it disappeared altogether.So Qiu Dijing was also passively weaned, but the milk fell ill as soon as Qiu Dijing was weaned off.Fortunately, Qiu Dijing's condition gradually improved, and Zhou Xiu also decided to increase the amount of complementary food.Qiu Dijing was fed egg custard just now, but Qiu Dijing didn't eat a few mouthfuls.

After nodding his head, Qiu Tianxing asked Qiu Dining again: "Ning'er, how is your homework recently? Can you keep up?"

Qiu Dining is in the second grade at the beginning of this year, and his homework has gradually become tense. Qiu Tianxing is a little worried about his studies.

But it seems that Qiu Tianxing was worried for nothing, seeing his father ask about his studies, Qiu Dining said very proudly.

"Daddy, I got a little red flower a few days ago! The teacher praised me for making great progress!"

Uh, Qiu Tianxing was speechless.This rapid progress is not a good thing, it shows that there is too much difference before.

Seeing that his father did not continue to ask, Qiu Dining lowered his head in disappointment, and continued to remain silent.

Then Qiu Tianxing chatted with Li Xiafang again, after showing that he treated Li Xiafang equally, he wiped his mouth and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Okay, you guys continue to eat, I'm going to the group office."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Tianxing left.

After Qiu Tianxing left, the atmosphere in the restaurant did not become more relaxed, but more depressing.

At this time, Li Xiafang raised her head, and said to Zhou Xiu with a smile.

"Sister, you got some spare money yesterday, where to invest it?"

Zhou Xiu put down the spoon to feed Qiu Dijing, then handed Qiu Dijing to the maid Xiaolan, and answered after correcting her posture.

"I haven't figured it out yet! My sister's father is the Minister of Commerce, and he is quite good at investing. I wonder what investment plans my sister has?"

"Hehe, my sister was joking, my father is not as honorable as my sister's father! Not long ago, my father was an old subordinate of my sister's father! But now my father is well-informed in the Ministry of Commerce, and there are indeed several ways. I just don't know if my sister is willing to invest. " Li Xiafang looked at Zhou Xiu and said.

"Oh? Let me hear what my sister said?" Zhou Xiu seemed interested.

At this time, Qiu Dining, who was silent at the side, put down the bowl and chopsticks and left.It seemed that he didn't like the atmosphere very much, that he didn't like being ignored.Every day he could only see his father at breakfast, but Qiu Tianxing often left before breakfast, and the second half of breakfast was the time for his mother and aunt to chat, which made Qiu Dining very disliked.

Seeing that her son had left, Zhou Xiu didn't care to talk to Li Xiafang, so she hurriedly talked to Qiu Dining.

"Ning'er, are you full?"

"Well, I'm full." Qiu Dining snorted a few words, then picked up the schoolbag hanging on the back of the chair, straddled up, and went to school.The schoolbag contained the homework he did last night and the textbooks to study today.

Ever since he had a younger sister, Qiu Dining found that his mother no longer loves him as much as before. Now her mother puts a lot of energy on her younger sister. In addition, she has to go to school and spend less time at home. The mother's contact time is not much more than the father's.Although Qiu Dining is still young, his mind is relatively precocious, and there is resentment in his heart. He hates his father for being busy all day long, hates his sister for taking away his exclusive favor, and hates why he suddenly has an aunt.It's just that he's just a kid now, and can only sulk on his own.

Not long after Qiu Dining left, Zhou Xiu's mind returned to the investment issue discussed with Li Xiafang just now.

After Zhou Xiu asked again, Li Xiafang replied.

"Sister, my father said that the most profitable business nowadays is sea trade. We have been supplying goods to those barbarian people in the West, and they have made a lot of money. I don't know how many times they can make a profit when they come here. Now business The ministry has set up a sea trading company with three sea-going ships under it, and it is selling shares to the outside world. But my father also said that although the sea trade is profitable, it is also risky. Now it seems that Zhu Chenggong in Fujian is at odds with us. They The navy is powerful, and the sea route to the South China Sea is in their hands. Moreover, it is not uncommon to see shipwrecks on the sea. At that time, the cost of the ship, cargo, and pensions for the sailors may make people lose everything."
