After Yang Sichen returned to the Yang Residence, his days were very peaceful. Every morning and afternoon, he would practice internal energy for two hours. The rest of the time, he would read and practice calligraphy. At night, he would study the Nine Yang Scripture with Zi Juan.
The business of Xu Ji's brown sugar workshop was still booming. The price of other shops 'frosting sugar had dropped to 240 to 125 wen, and it was still showing signs of further decline. Yang Sichen had also considered lowering the price, but he gave up in the end. He would wait for the results of this year's tribute before making his next move. Once they got the golden signboard of the Royal Special Offer, hmph…they would immediately raise the price. Even if it was one tael of silver per can, there would still be people who would buy it! Make some cotton candy, fruit candy…endless silver rolling in…wakaka!!
Yang Sichen realized that after 20 days of cultivation, his internal energy was rapidly increasing. His meridians were becoming smoother, and the circulation of his internal energy had increased from the initial two hours of one cycle to two hours of 36 cycles! According to Zijuan, many people could not reach this level even after cultivating for five years! Only then did Yang Sichen gradually understand the reason why Granny Wen had given him so many things-his aptitude for martial arts was even better than Zi Juan's!
However, his appearance seemed to be too…androgynous.
Thinking of this, Yang Sichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In order to take revenge on Yang Sichen for taking advantage of her in the shower, Zi Juan took advantage of Yang Sichen's lunch break to light up his sleeping acupuncture point, twisted Yang Sichen's eyebrows into willowy eyebrows, combed Yang Sichen's hair into a bun, and applied powder and rouge on Yang Sichen's face. When Yang Sichen woke up and saw his current state, he was shocked. He hurriedly found some water to wash his face and combed his hair. Zi Juan rolled around on the bed laughing.
Yang Sichen sighed and thought,'Fine, I won't be able to put on airs in front of Zijuan anymore. It's unprecedented to be bullied like this by my personal servant girl.'
…………
On this day, Yang Sichen went to Anlan Court to pay his respects to Madam Zheng. A servant girl beside Madam Zheng said that breakfast was ready. Yang Sichen stood up and was about to leave when Madam Zheng said,""Since you're here, let's eat together as a family.”
Yang Sichen couldn't refuse, so he nodded and followed Madam Zheng into the dining hall of Anlan Court.
After entering the dining room, Yang Sichen saw that Old Master Yang was already sitting at the table, waiting for him. He hurriedly went forward to pay his respects.
Old Master Yang waved his hand and gestured for Yang Sichen to help his mother, Madam Zheng, sit down. Sijing and Siwen were also here. The family sat around the table.
As soon as the servants served the food, Madam Zheng began to retch. When Old Master Yang saw this, he quickly supported Madam Zheng. Yang Sichen and his father looked at each other and quickly went out to order the butler to call the doctor.
After half an hour, an old doctor with white hair and a youthful face followed Yang Sichen into Madam Zheng's bedroom. Old Master Yang and Yang Sichen looked at each other and went out to wait.
The old physician took Madam Zheng's pulse and pondered for a long time. He put down his hand and walked out with his head lowered. He bowed deeply to Old Master Yang who was sitting outside,"Congratulations Old Master Yang, it's a happy pulse! Your wife is already two months pregnant!”
When Old Master Yang heard this, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He ran into the room and held Madam Zheng's hand. He said happily,"Ruo Zhu, you're finally pregnant again!”
Madam Zheng's face was red as she rebuked,"Master, it's all your fault!" That night, he was like a crazy horse and wanted me several times. My stomach has been knocked up by you again, Master!”
Old Master Yang just stood at the side, rubbing his head and giggling.
After Yang Sichen heard this, he quickly ordered the servants beside him to bring some silver to reward the old physician. He also ordered the servants to report to Old Master Yang.
When Old Master Yang received the news, he immediately rushed over. When Yang Sichen saw Old Master Yang enter Anlan Court, he quickly went up to him and led Old Master Yang to the main room to sit down. He turned around and prepared to report to his father. Old Master Yang grabbed Yang Sichen and said,""Little Chen, don't be anxious. Let the two of them be lovey-dovey. Let's wait here." As he said that, he even gave her a look that said,"You know what I mean."
After a quarter of an hour, Old Master Yang helped Madam Zheng out. Old Master Yang gave Yang Sichen a look, signaling him to leave Anlan Court. Yang Sichen nodded at his parents and turned to leave Anlan Court.
When they returned to the Blue Wave Courtyard, Granny Zhao had already laid out breakfast. Yang Sichen asked Granny Zhao to leave and gestured for Zi Juan to come over and sit down to eat with him. Only then did he pick up his chopsticks and start eating. Zi Juan did not stand on ceremony. She sat down and picked up a small steamed bun to eat.
At noon, Yang Sichen went to visit his mother. Just as he reached the entrance of the inner courtyard of Anlan Court, he saw Madam Zheng chasing after Old Master Yang.
Old Master Yang saw Madam Zheng's actions and frowned,"You should be careful too.”
Old Master Yang was speechless, so he straightened his neck and said,"If you don't let him buy it, you don't let him buy it.”Without waiting for Madam Zheng to reply, she slammed the door and left angrily.
Seeing this, Yang Sichen chased Old Master Yang to the outer courtyard, comforting his father as he walked,""Mother is pregnant and has a bad temper. Father, don't take it to heart.”
Old Master Yang sighed and said," At that time, Kun married your mother's servant girl, Qing Miao. Later on, his business prospered and he is now competing with our Yang Family in Yangzhou. I have been hiding it from your mother and Shi Kun has also been hiding it from the Qing Miao. Now that your mother is thinking about the Qing Miao, she proposed to sell the house in Yangzhou to Shi Kun. How can I swallow this?"”
Yang Sichen knew that it wasn't appropriate for him to comment on this matter, so he simply didn't say anything and just listened to Old Master Yang's complaints.
In the afternoon, the Qing Miao received news of Madam Zheng's pregnancy and came to see Madam Zheng. As soon as they met, Madam Zheng teased,""What's wrong? Qing Miao, didn't Shi Kun make you so weak that you couldn't even get out of bed a few days ago? How did you recover so quickly?”
The Qing Miao clansmen blushed and turned around, stomping their feet as they pleaded,"Furen, you are pregnant now, but there is no one to serve you. How can this be? Let me come back and serve you.”
This Qing Miao was originally Madam Zheng's personal maid. Later on, she took a fancy to Shi Kun, who was in dire straits at that time, and Madam Zheng decided to marry him. Shi Kun's business also grew bigger and bigger because of the connection with the Yang family.
Although Old Master Yang felt that the Qing Miao were greedy for petty gains, he had always been very considerate to Madam Zheng, so he nodded repeatedly and said,"Furen, you should have someone to serve you personally. That little button is too small, and you have to serve two servant girls.”
"You really want to come back?" Madam Zheng asked.”
Qing Miao nodded and said," My master went out to do business again the day before yesterday. I'm the only one guarding the huge house. I'm so lonely that I'm about to get fluffy." He might as well come over and talk to Madam.”
When Madam Zheng heard this, she pulled a long face and asked,"Shi Kun doesn't even have a maid?”
Qing Miao smiled bitterly." There were originally two, but when I returned to Song Jiang, I was sent by Old Master to serve Ying Tian's old madam. I wanted to buy more in Song Jiang, but I didn't see a suitable one."”
"Then you can stay here with me. Just take it as a distraction, okay?" Madam Zheng said.”
The Qing Miao nodded, stood up and bowed to Madam Zheng before following the servant girl to look at the guest room.
