Brother Zhao was stunned for a moment when he suddenly fell into Pang Xiao's firm arms. Before he could cry, his cheeks were rubbed against. It was an unfamiliar scent and an unfamiliar person. Brother Zhao kicked his short legs and huffed in dissatisfaction.
Pang Xiao suddenly felt something warm on his stomach. He didn't notice it at first until the wet nurse cried out in shock, "He peed! The young master peed!"
"Don't make a fuss!" Pang Xiao lowered his voice and scolded, "If he peed, he peed. Don't make a fuss! I'm happy to ask my son to pee. Let him finish peeing. Don't scare the child. "
Pang Xiao hugged Brother Zhao and stood there to accept the baptism of the boy's urine.
Qin Yining couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this. He hurriedly called for someone to come in, "Quickly prepare a hot bath for Wang Ye. Also, prepare clean clothes."
Pang Xiao hugged Brother Zhao who had just finished peeing and said happily, "My son knows that I'm cold and is warming me up. Isn't that right, Brother Zhao? "
Brother Zhao pursed his lips. The small red mole between his eyebrows made him look as white and cute as a porcelain doll. He looked around with his grape-like big eyes and refused to look at Pang Xiao. He gave face and didn't cry.
Qin Yining took Brother Zhao and handed him to the wet nurse. He helplessly looked at Pang Xiao, who was wearing wet clothes and smelling of urine, and went to play with Brother Han.
"Wang Ye, quickly wash up. Aren't you afraid that the child will dislike you? "
"Isn't it because of them?" Pang Xiao lowered his head and looked at the front of his clothes. A large wet area had turned cold and was still dripping with water.
"It's fine. Boy's urine is good stuff."
"Your son is full of good stuff. Quickly go wash up." Qin Yining pushed Pang Xiao into the bathroom.
The wet nurse and Bing Tang carefully wrapped the two children in swaddling clothes and went to the warm room opposite the door.
Qin Yining prepared a change of clothes for Pang Xiao and placed them on the screen. With a smile, he chatted with Pang Xiao in the cleaning room.
"I heard from Young Master Mu that the silver issue has been resolved?"
"That's right. Yesterday, Head Shopkeeper Qiu came to see me. He gave her a box of banknotes. The debt of three million taels has also been written off. "
"Looks like our plan is working. In the end, it has affected the Four-Way Shop's business. Even the head shopkeeper has been forced out. "
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Didn't she tactfully express her intention to help the army when she was in Magistrate Yang's residence? I don't think she's at a disadvantage this time. Maybe they're trying to get a foothold in the military. "
Qin Yining was stunned when he heard this. His movements of tidying his clothes slowed down as he carefully recalled the series of events that had happened since he came to the old capital.
Qiu Feishan took advantage of Magistrate Yang's family banquet and deliberately made friends with them. Without revealing her identity, she tactfully proposed to provide money to the army.
Before this, the Four-Way Shop had placed people in the army and deliberately made the army owe money, forcing Pang Xiao to take an unconventional approach to solve the problem.
She used to think that the other party was targeting Pang Xiao.
But after hearing Pang Xiao's words, she suddenly felt enlightened. Perhaps the other party was not simply trying to make things difficult for Pang Xiao, but there was someone behind them who wanted to get a foothold in the military!
Although Pang Xiao was now the commander-in-chief of the army, he held the military power in his hands and gradually gathered the morale of the army. But his biggest shortcoming was that he really did not have any money.
The imperial court did not allocate funds, and there were no local taxes. How could he let the soldiers go hungry?
If they did not want to cause a mutiny and give Li Qitian something to use against them, they must keep the old capital stable and peaceful. Qin Yining would not forget that they came this time to stabilize the situation in the south and not let Da Zhou in both the north and the south at the same time.
In order to maintain stability, Pang Xiao had to get money. In order to get money, he must have a relationship with the Four-Way Shop.
Now it seemed that if the purpose of the Four-Way Shop was really to get a foothold in the army and inject money, then they had already done it. Moreover, it was something that Pang Xiao had no choice but to accept.
With this understanding, Qin Yining only felt more and more sullen. He was even more curious about the person behind the Four-Way Shop.
She held Pang Xiao's undergarment and fell into deep thought, not noticing that Pang Xiao was already standing beside her. He had a towel wrapped around his waist, and his hair was still dripping water. The lines of his strong muscles were smooth and strong, and the water droplets at the tip of his hair slid down his shoulder blades and meandered across his firm chest before finally disappearing into the towel tied around his waist.
"Sister Yi?" His large hand held her shoulder and pulled her towards him. "What are you thinking about?"
Qin Yining only came back to her senses when her shoulder was held. She raised her eyes and met Pang Xiao's gaze, which was as gentle as water. She couldn't help but indulge in his gaze, temporarily forgetting all the thoughts in her mind.
"Don't worry, I will take care of these things." Pang Xiao looked at her eyes that were as clear as water. This woman could move his heart at any time. The way she looked at him was the same as when they first got together. She was always so focused, and her love almost overflowed from her eyes.
His long arms pulled Qin Yining into his embrace and left countless kisses on her long hair and temples. His voice was low and hoarse. "Let me take a good look at you."
Qin Yining's face flushed red, but ever since they got married, they had been apart more than together. It was not easy for him to come home, so Qin Yining cherished the time she could spend with him.
Even though it was broad daylight and she was very shy, she still let him do as he pleased.
The servants tacitly moved away, and each of them had an ambiguous smile on their faces, leaving the two of them alone.
When Qin Yining woke up again, it was already past noon. As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Pang Xiao's smiling eyes. He was wearing a snow-white undergarment and was lying on his side on the edge of the bed. He was playing with her long hair, and she did not know how long he had been staring at her.
"When did you wake up?" Qin Yining lazily turned over and rolled into Pang Xiao's arms.
Pang Xiao hugged her with a smile and kissed her smooth shoulder. "I didn't get up for long. It's more comfortable to be at home. The bed in the military camp is as hard as a rock. Even if I fall asleep, it won't relieve my tiredness. Moreover, the military camp is chaotic, so I don't dare to sleep properly. "
When Qin Yining heard this, she could not help but feel sorry for him. She sat up and touched his smooth and handsome face. "If I had known, I would have thought of a way to bring you some bedding. At the very least, I would have sent someone to take care of your daily life."
Pang Xiao knew that Qin Yining would feel sorry for her.
Sometimes, when he encountered a huge problem, he was unwilling to tell her even if he had to suffer.
But sometimes, even though there was nothing wrong, he liked to become the pitiful little boy in her heart like today.
He felt that being able to have her love and care was the most satisfying thing in the world.
In fact, even if he was stabbed by a knife, he might not even make a sound.
"How can that be? That's the military camp, not some other place. It's not good to have this kind of special treatment." Pang Xiao deliberately made a bitter face to tease her.
Qin Yining grabbed her inner garment and sat up. She thought about how to let Pang Xiao eat well and sleep well in the military camp.
Pang Xiao also got up. He watched her frown as she racked her brains, as if she had encountered a huge problem. His heart had long melted into a puddle of water. He hugged her and laughed softly.
Qin Yining patted his large hand that refused to be obedient. Then, she realized what he was doing. Pang Xiao was deliberately teasing her!
But she also knew that in the military camp, he would definitely eat from the same pot and sleep on a hard bed. Pang Xiao did not like to enjoy special treatment. When he killed the enemy, he would charge at the front. He also treated the soldiers equally. He would not hide and give them special treatment. He would not let the soldiers under him think that he was a delicate woman who was picky.
Qin Yining found it funny, but she also felt a little helpless.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, Pang Xiao thought that she was angry.
Qin Yining shook her head and then said in a low voice, "I'm thinking that if you want to completely change your basic necessities in the military, the best way to take drastic measures is to enrich the national treasury. At least …" She lowered her voice and looked up to Pang Xiao's ear to say, "Don't let Your Majesty be like a black-eyed chicken just because of a treasure."
Pang Xiao was amused and laughed loudly. He hugged her waist and laughed until they rolled two rounds on the bed.
"Your description is too accurate. Isn't he, that … haha!"
Just one sentence and he laughed like this, like a child.
Qin Yining also couldn't help but laugh. She hugged Pang Xiao's waist and used his sturdy body as a mattress. She rested her head on his chest that shook when he laughed.
Outside, Xian Yun and Ji Yun who were serving heard the laughter in the room and also covered their mouths in laughter.
When Wang Ye came back, the home seemed to become more lively. Even Wang Fei turned back to the appearance of a naive young girl, and not the calm appearance she had when she was competing to protect the family business.
The two exchanged a look and tacitly retreated to prepare refreshments.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao had laughed enough and just hugged each other. To be able to quietly stay together like this for a while, it was happiness for them.
Qin Yining's mind flashed through the recent events. She thought of how Pang Xiao had led the troops to the front door of Gao Dian Shi's home and said to her, "Tell me if there is anything in the future." Qin Yining said, "Dai Fu, there is something else I need to do."
Pang Xiao's heart was already bursting with joy when he heard her call him 'Dafu'. He tightened his arms around her. "Alright, what do you want to do?"
Qin Yining told him how Head Shopkeeper Xia had neglected her and ignored her orders, how she had overheard Head Shopkeeper Xia's conversation with someone at Gui Lin Tower, and the results of Jing Zhe's investigation. She told him everything.
Pang Xiao's brow furrowed even tighter as he listened. When he heard what Head Shopkeeper Xia had said about Qin Yining, he snorted coldly, "This murderer!"
His entire presence changed. It was not warm and gentle at all. Qin Yining seemed to feel the surroundings turn cold.
"Don't be angry. People on different sides are just competing with each other. I still have use for him. Don't go and kill him. "
