Chapter Two Hundred and Two: Mixed Joys and Sorrows
Meng Tian's proposal was considered by Ying Zheng, although the Qin State was now not afraid of the joint attack of the princes, but if the whole country attacked the Chu State, the garrison troops on the border would inevitably be affected. When they get into a stalemate with Chu, Qi, Yan, Zhao and Wei will attack the northern border of Qin, and Qin will fall into a situation where they will be attacked by the enemy on their backs, and some of the gains outweigh the losses.
Ying Zheng agreed with Meng Tian's statement, and he said: "In this case, then according to what Aiqing said, the matter of cutting Chu will be put on hold for the time being." By the way, yesterday Meng Yi told the widow a good news about your family, counting that you haven't been home for almost a year, go home and take a look. ”
"Good news from the minister's family?" Meng Tian was a little strange, what good news could there be in his family, if there was really something, the family should have written to inform him as soon as possible.
Meng Tian returned home with doubts, and as soon as he arrived at the door, the soldiers at the door saw Meng Tian coming back and hurriedly came up to lead Meng Tian's horse, and then said congratulations to the general.
Meng Tian was a little confused, and when he stepped into the house, there was no one in the main hall of the house, which made Meng Tian, who was already very confused, feel a little strange. He left the front yard and went to the courtyard where he lived, and before he could reach the yard, he heard bursts of laughter coming from the courtyard.
Meng Tian walked into his yard and found that all the maids of his family had arrived in his yard, and then they were busy. When everyone saw Meng Tian coming back, they all saluted Meng Tian.
Meng Yi heard someone outside in the house say that the general was back, so he hurriedly walked out, saw his eldest brother Meng Tian coming home, and said happily: "Big brother, you are back." ”
When Meng Tian saw Meng Yi, his heart felt a little more steady, and he asked, "What's the matter, why are there so many people in my courtyard?"
Meng Tian said with a smile: "Big brother, my sister-in-law gave birth to a son for you, and everyone in the family is here." ”
Meng Tian's head seemed to be empty when he heard this, and he rushed into the house, where his father and mother were all here, and his mother was still holding a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.
"Meng Tian, you're back. Seeing Meng Tian walk in, Meng Wu said.
Meng Tian nodded at his father and mother, and then he saw Zi Yanran lying on the bed. Meng Tian sat down on the edge of the bed and held Zi Yanran's jade hand.
Zi Yanran was naturally extremely happy to learn that Meng Tian had returned, but yesterday's childbirth consumed too much of her strength, so she could only smile softly at Meng Tian at this time.
"Tian'er, this is your son, look at how much he looks like you. Meng Tian's mother hugged her grandson in her arms and handed her grandson into Meng Tian's arms.
Meng Tian looked at his son, the little guy was white and chubby, waiting for a pair of big watery eyes to look
With his father, he still smacked his mouth from time to time.
"This is my son, I have a son. Meng Tian said, and then laughed happily.
Zi Yanran nodded lightly, "Not long after you led the troops to the battle, I was found to be pregnant, because I was afraid that you would not lead the army outside, so I didn't let my father, mother and Meng Yi tell you about it." ”
Meng Tian teased the son in his arms, looked at Zi Yanran and said, "Yanran, you have worked hard, you see how cute our son is." ”
Meng Tian placed the son in his arms beside Zi Yanran, who turned his head sideways to look at his son, with tears in his eyes. "Our son is good-looking, but fortunately, God has eyes and let us have our own children. ”
Meng Tian wiped the tears from Zi Yanran's cheeks with his hand, and said softly, "Thank you, Yanran." ”
"By the way, our child hasn't been named yet. The father said that he would wait for you to come back and give him a nice name, and it just so happens that you are back today, so you can see what to call our son. ”
Meng Tian really hadn't thought about choosing a name, and blamed this happy event for coming too quickly and being caught off guard, and Meng Tian was not ready.
"I gave it a name, uh, and my father asked me to give it up. Let me think about what would be the best name for our son? Meng Tian began to search his head for the books he had read, but he seemed to find that the books he read were all military books, and he couldn't think of any good names at all.
Meng Tian's mind flashed with inspiration, and he said to Zi Yanran: "Why don't you just call him a godsend?" Our first child died before he was born, and this child was given to us by God, let's call him a godsend." ”
"God's best, good name, I like it. ”
Coaxed Zi Yanran to sleep, Meng Tian reluctantly handed over his son to the specially hired wet nurse at home, and then Meng Tian left the room, ready to tell his father and mother the child's name.
When he walked to the front yard and entered the house, he heard his father, mother and Meng Yi talking in the house.
"Father, mother, do you want to tell the eldest brother about this?" This was Meng Yi's voice, Meng Tian stopped after hearing it outside the house, and did not immediately enter the house.
Meng Tian heard two long sighs coming from the house, this should be his father and mother sighing, Meng Tian said in his heart.
"Tian'er just came back from the front line with the troops, and Yanran gave birth to a son for my Meng family, but who knew that the risk of Yanran's birth this time was so great, after Wen Po delivered the child, the doctor said that Yanran's birth this time was extremely risky, and originally because the first child was stillborn, Yanran had a foreign body in her abdomen, so this time the child Yanran's life was threatened. Meng Wu said.
Meng Tian's mother also spoke: "Yes, when Yanran was originally going to insist on giving birth to this child, we persuaded her so that she didn't have to care so much about it, no matter whether she could give birth to children and grandchildren for my Meng family, your father and I would treat her very well." It's just that she said that she didn't want Meng Tian and her own life to leave regrets, and no matter how much your father and I tried to persuade her, she refused to listen, and we had to agree with her to give birth to the child. ”
Meng Yi followed his mother's words and said: "My sister-in-law really loves my brother too much, and she is willing to give up her life for my brother. It just so happened that my eldest brother came back today, and I will tell him later, so that he will not lead troops to fight these days, and spend the last happy time with his sister-in-law at home. ”
As soon as Meng Wu's words were finished, Meng Tian walked in, and he said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about, you Yanran will die soon, is this matter true?"
Meng Tian walked to Calais, which made Meng Wu, his wife and Meng Yi very nervous, originally they wanted to tell him later, but they didn't expect him to come to the front yard at this time, and listened to the conversation of the three of them.
"Big brother, listen to me. Meng Yi stepped forward, patted Meng Tian on the shoulder, and said to him. "Sister-in-law did this all for you, what we said was true, but we didn't want you to be sad, so we didn't dare to tell you about it just now. ”
Meng Wu also stood and said, "Wu'er is right. Tian'er, if you lead the troops to fight on the front line, you naturally have to be single-minded, so this time we didn't write to you this time. Now that you know about Yanran's situation, I think you should stay at home and accompany Yanran during this time. ”
"How many days does the doctor say Yanran has left?" Meng Tian knew that his father, mother and younger brother would not lie to him, and Zi Yanran really didn't have a long time left. This made Meng Tian, who originally had a son, fall into hell in an instant.
Meng Tian's mother said: "The doctor said that if Yan Ran didn't have this child left, she would have about 20 years to live, and now that she has given birth, it may only be less than a year. Tian'er, your father and I like Yanran very much, and after knowing about this, we didn't want Yanran to give birth to this son, but Yanran had to insist on giving birth, and we had no choice. ”
Zi Yanran's temperament Meng Tian is the clearest, although she is a weak woman, but in her early years, she led people to be robbers on the grassland, and developed a stubborn temperament, and once she decides, she will not change.
After learning that Zi Yanran had less than a year to live, Meng Tian didn't hear clearly what his father, mother, and younger brother Meng Yi said to him, he turned around and walked outside, but from the back, Meng Tian seemed to have lost his soul, and his whole body was stiff.
"Tian'er ......"
"Big Brother ......"
