C18 How Much Has Affected Temperament

"About that …"

"How are things at home?"

The two of them spoke up at almost the same time. Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment before replying, "It's fine at home, but I'm afraid we don't have much money. I think we'll have to spend a lot of money along the way."

Qin Si nodded.

Silence fell upon the room once more.

"I remember that we have money in this house. Let's give it to mother first and let's get through this."

Qin Si thought for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, with a serious tone he said: "We need to repair the house, and we can't let the people in the mansion get away with it …"

Jiang Wan froze on the spot.

Money from the third house? What money? Private money?

But why didn't she know? There didn't seem to be such a thing in the original body's memories!

On the other side, Jiang Wan was stuck on her private money.

In the main hall, Mrs Zhang and her wife were discussing their plans for the future.

Mrs Xu frowned and slowly raised her head to look at Mrs Zhang, "Mother, if you don't mind, then ask my husband to go out tomorrow and find out if there are any private schools in the county. He can become a teacher and help out the family."

When Mrs Zhang heard this, she fell silent.

Mrs Chen, who was standing at the side, said, "I've also heard from my husband that there are many bad habits in the yamen. I'm afraid third brother can't handle them. He wants to go to the yamen to help or see if there are any other ways out of this town."

Mrs Zhang sighed. She wasn't inflexible. Since her family was in such dire straits, she definitely wouldn't act according to family rules.

"I think I'll think about it more..."

Fighting was her forte, but doing business would only make things difficult for her.

… ….

In a room in the third room.

Jiang Wan was silent for a moment before she made an excuse with a smile, "My husband is right. I was just about to take out the money, but the box has been a bit messy recently. I'm afraid I'll have to look for it first."

"I'm only going to mention one thing, it depends on your wife's arrangements."

Qin Si didn't have any reaction to this, he only nodded slightly in agreement.

Jiang Wan heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her head and saw that the man's gaze was focused on her son. His grave and stern expression was replaced by a gentle one, as if he was in a good mood.

Mm, he was in a good mood?

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes and took the opportunity to tell him about taking Miss Qing to borrow paper. She smiled and said, "Now that I think about it, this place is very different from the customs in the capital."

"We are at the border here, in the diplomatic community. The folklore has some influence here." Qin Si retracted his gaze and said plainly.

Jiang Wan nodded and pretended to be careless. "Then can I go out and take a look tomorrow?" "While at it, I want to see if there is any business that I can do. Today, I want to add more items to my home."

Qin Si looked at her in surprise.

A dignified young mistress of the Duke's Mansion actually knew how to do business?

Sensing Qin Si's measuring gaze, Jiang Wan smiled and opened her mouth, wanting to say something to change the topic.

Jiang Wan thought for a moment, then she held the child in her arms. As she coaxed him, she smiled at the man sitting on the chair not too far away, "They all say that it's Mother Xiao, but I think that Little Chixi's appearance is very much like Master Xiao's. If only he could be like you in the future, then that would be great."

"As long as you are safe and happy."

Qin Si's deep gaze fell on the child and his voice was normal. If one listened carefully, they could hear the gentleness and expectation in his words.

Having said that, he stood up and said to Jiang Wan, "You coax the good child to sleep early. I still have some official matters to attend to, so I'll be in the study room first."

The man's gaze only stayed on Jiang Wan for a moment before he shifted his gaze away.

Hm?

Jiang Wan's eyebrows twitched slightly. 'This man doesn't intend to sleep here?'

That would be great!

"Alright, master. Then remember to let Zhuqing burn the charcoal brazier. Be careful not to catch a cold at night."

After settling the most urgent matter for the time being, Jiang Wan immediately became a kind and considerate wife.

Qin Si nodded. Before he left, he couldn't help but take a glance at his wife. He saw that she had a gentle smile on her face, and she didn't seem any different from before …

It seemed that he had indeed been stimulated during the birth of the child. How much had it affected his temperament?
