After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 493 Rotation

Xia Wanniang knew what she was thinking of. Pu Xingyu’s name had the character “Xing” in it, and now his daughter also had the character “Xing” in it, so it could be considered as their continuation!

"Don't cry. You just gave birth to a child and crying will hurt your eyes."

Rouyue quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes: "Madam, thank you."

Xia Wanniang said nothing and asked Qiuyue and Zhuyao to take care of her.

Rou Xingyue might wake up at night to look for food, but it would be impossible for her to do it alone.

She lay in bed and raised her feet with pillows to help eliminate some of the swelling.

Now that her belly is big, she doesn't sleep very well at night.

"Squeak!" The door was pushed open from the outside.

When Xia Wanniang saw Xiao Chiye coming in, she was a little stunned: "Why are you back?"

Seeing her swollen legs, Xiao Chiye took off his cloak, walked to the bedside, sat down and massaged her legs: "I came back when I missed you. Now the Northwest Army doesn't need me to stay often, so I can come back to accompany you."

Xia Wanniang asked Xiao Chiye to help her sit up, raising her body a little so that she could breathe more comfortably. "Is it okay if we don't stay in the military camp?"

Xiao Chiye nodded: "This place is very close to the military camp. If there is any problem, they will send me a message." Then he looked at her rounder body and said: "Is it very hard?"

Xia Wanniang shook her head: "It's not hard."

I don't know if the baby in the belly heard his voice, but it started moving around in the belly.

Xia Wanniang took his hand and placed it on her belly: "The child misses you. He moves violently when you speak."

Xiao Chiye's eyes were full of tenderness, and he gently placed his cheek against her abdomen: "Daddy is back."

The little guy moved in response to his words, as if saying hello to him.

When Rouyue was in confinement after childbirth, Grandma Huang was particularly attentive to her and prepared all kinds of delicious food to serve her.

Xia Wanniang asked Xiao Chiye to accompany her to the new city, which would be called North City in the future, and the previous North City would be changed to Little North City.

The streets in the north city have been cleaned, and some people who live nearby are helping with the finishing work.

Xiao Chiye held his hand and walked with her on the spacious and clean streets. The Great Wall had also been built some distance further, and the matter had been reported to the imperial court.

Wu Xiao praised repeatedly, leaving the ministers who had complaints helpless, because Northwest China didn't ask the court to spend a penny.

They built the city with their own money, and now they are also paying for the construction of the Great Wall with their own money. What can they say?

Xia Wanniang came to the city gate. The city gate here was not made of wood, but was made of strong steel that she had replaced. It was not so easy to break open.

This is the border, we can't save on these things, so naturally we have to use the best.

She reached out and touched the city gate. It was very light, yet surprisingly sturdy. Even ramming it with a wooden stake couldn't leave a mark on it.

This stunned Qingfeng and the others. They didn't expect the door to be so sturdy.

They walked in through the gate. Some of the shops here had already been rented out. All the shops in the northwest city were rented out and not for buying and selling.

The same applies to residential properties, and all proceeds will be used to build the Northwest.

Although they could make money faster by selling the property, they chose to rent it out for the sake of long-term development.

The county magistrate of the north city has already moved in and has started to arrange for the renting of shops.

As a town, Xiaobeicheng established a mayor and a government office, and was also under the management of the Beicheng County Magistrate.

Xiao Chiye looked at the many people at the gate of the government office. Most of them were well-dressed and were probably here to rent shops. There were also some merchants from tribes outside the Great Wall.

Xia Wanniang and others had reported the matter of border trade to the imperial court, and after a long argument, they finally agreed to open border trade in the northern city.

Only the border trade of this one city is open. As for whether the border trade of other cities will be opened in the future, we will have to wait and see for a while to find out.

The North City is now an important border area, so the Northwest Army is directly in charge of the city defense and garrison troops are stationed here.

Xia Wanniang saw that many people had come to the border and asked, "Husband, who is in charge of the garrison in the north city?"

Xiao Chiye smiled and said, "Originally, Brother Ke was in charge, but I want to accompany you, so we will take turns. Banyan will be in charge of Northwest City."
