85. Double happiness is coming
At the end of October, Geng Qiu's late rice matured, which instantly attracted the attention of major officials in the DPRK and China. The emperor was overjoyed, and personally went to the Zhuangzi in Tongxian County to check, and when he saw the heavy ears of rice that were about to be harvested, he jumped down from the field in surprise to pick a branch, peeled off the chaff and tasted the taste of rice. praised: "Fragrant, it's not worse than the rice we planted." ”
So, Geng Qiu was appointed to the Ministry of Industry and became a six-pin Tuntian Langzhong, specializing in promoting the cultivation of second-season rice. Since then, Geng Qiu has entered officialdom from his home. is no longer the man who can only be attached to Ah Hao.
"Come, drink, drink." Liu Zhihua poured Geng Qiu violently. Yu Mingyi also coaxed, he finally lifted the ban, and finally could eat meat and drink a lot, and took the opportunity to relieve his cravings. This guy recuperated for three months after giving birth, and Dr. Zhu said that he was basically fine, and the senior husband really couldn't afford to be injured.
"Drink." Geng Qiu said with a smile, and several people drank another glass, although it was fruit wine, they also drank a lot. Today he is happy in his heart, not only because he has become an official, but mainly because Ah Hao is happy. The reason why Ah Hao is happy is simpler, no one will dare to say that Geng Qiu is a soft bone in the future, many people used to say that Geng Qiu was shameless behind his back, and marrying him was just to see that he was beautiful and powerful. He has always wanted others to treat Geng Qiu as his appendage, and hopes that others can respect Geng Qiu. However, Geng Qiu is now a six-rank official, although he is not as good as himself, but his future is limitless.
Daqing people care very much about family names, a man who can't even use his own surname, and a man who can't even inherit his own blood for his son, is very despised.
Poor Geng Qiu is such a man, a man who is despised by the world, and many people don't even regard him as a man. will only treat him as an appendage of Ah Hao. His status is inferior to that of ordinary men's concubines. In the past few years, Geng Qiu has a deep understanding, but he is from modern times, and he does not have a strong will to inherit his bloodline. So he hasn't been really hurt other than feeling uncomfortable. It's just that he doesn't want Ah Hao to feel guilty all the time, and he is always trying to make up for him.
The people who can go to the General's Mansion for a light meal are acquaintances and friends, so the people at the table are very happy, and Master Zhou and Imperial Doctor Zhu also came to eat happily, they are purely here to eat, especially Imperial Doctor Zhu has been in love with Yu Mingyi's blessing from the last time, and after eating Geng Qiu's dishes, he has never forgotten it, and it is rare to find a good opportunity. This time it was a good meal. He and Master Zhou are much older than the others, and now is the time to pay attention to health, so after eating, they went for a walk together. Liu Zhihua, Yu Mingyi and others were still drinking.
In fact, the happiest thing belongs to Ah Hao, but somehow, he actually felt that this wine was not delicious at all today, and he didn't even think the food was delicious, but he drank a glass with him, so he slowly grabbed a chopstick of green vegetables, trying to suppress the disgusting smell.
"Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu. Oh, it should be called Aki-sama. Liu Zhihua said with a wine burp.
"It's wrong, it's called Lord Geng, what Lord Qiu, Zhihua has drunk too much." Yu Mingyi laughed, not wanting to hold the cup in her hand but couldn't hold it.
"A couple of drunkards." Ah Hao laughed, laughed and laughed, and suddenly ran out, throwing up.
"What's going on?" Everyone was so frightened by him that they all woke up, and hurriedly went to call Imperial Doctor Zhu back.
"Good thing, good thing, the general is here, and there are more than two months." Mrs. Zhu said. Ah Hao has been clamoring for a child, and there has been no movement in the past few years, but now Ah Hao is not shouting this time.
"Great, great." Ah Hao was so happy that he was so happy that Geng Qiu hurriedly shouted: "Don't be too excited, be careful, hurry back to the room and rest." ”
Everyone stopped drinking, and laughed and said, "This is a double happiness." ”
Liu Zhihua even said: "General, Lord Geng, I will give your little son a nickname, it is better to simply call it Double Happiness." ”
"Hey, don't say it, it's quite appropriate to have a nickname called Double Happiness. Not bad, not bad. Yu Mingyi roared on the side.
"Okay, it's called Double Happiness, if he knows in the future, this little name was given by the two of you, and he scolds you in his heart, I don't care." Geng Qiu said with a smile. Anyway, it's a small name, and Double Happiness is actually quite catchy.
Ah Hao is pregnant, and he is in good health, so he can not take leave. But he was a military attaché, and he still reported in front of the emperor.
"Sure enough, it's a double happiness." The emperor also quipped.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is pregnant now, I'm afraid I can't take on the heavy responsibility." Ah Hao still wants to ask for leave, although the emperor may not agree.
"Let's wait, Mr. Yu can hold on to his stomach for seven months. You're going to have to hold on for a while. Let's talk about it when my belly gets bigger in the next year. The emperor really didn't agree, but he didn't completely disagree.
"How can Weichen compare with Mr. Yu." Ah Hao whispered. Yu Mingyi's official duties are less than his, even if he teaches, he only teaches the most advanced classes, and there are few students, and they are all students with good foundations. Where is it like Ah Hao to go to the court, and he still has to practice.
"It's okay, if you have a big belly after the year, just rest at home, there are some things, let people go to your house, you can deal with it at home." The emperor said that he did it on purpose, whoever called them one by one, they were all the bosses, and they could be reborn, but there were a bunch of women in his harem, and they just couldn't give birth. Thinking about it like this, the emperor was no longer interested in talking to Ah Hao, and directly announced that Imperial Doctor Zhu would enter the palace.
"You said that Lord Zhou is over half a hundred years old, and he can still give birth to a big fat boy. This civil and military general was also born and died with me, and he was not too young, but he was also pregnant. Why, are all hens in my harem who don't lay eggs? The emperor said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, you are too worried. Giving birth to a child sometimes depends on fate. Don't you see General Fang Wu like that? You're in excellent health. Imperial Physician Zhu persuaded.
There has been no general election for the emperor, and the number of people in the harem is not large, only ten. The few who have given birth to children have a place, and those who have not given birth also have a corresponding place depending on the length of the waiting years. Now, Concubine Zhou Shu, the youngest in the harem and has children, is the biological mother of the second prince, and she is only twenty years old. The other few who waited for the emperor at about the same time as her were about the same age as her. The emperor spent more time in the palace of several of them, in fact, he also thought that they were young and had a better chance of getting pregnant. But I don't particularly like them.
The others, the eldest queen, are all in their forties, slightly older than the emperor, and the two have not been in the same room for a few years, and the emperor went to see the queen, but to talk to her. When the emperor was still a prince, the first few waiters had already gone. The other high-ranking ones are only in their thirties. The emperor is a person who misses the old love, and when he was the prince in the past, he was a low-key person with his tail between his legs, and these women didn't follow to please much, and the emperor couldn't bear to see them all guarding empty rooms, so he would often go to the palace to sit. Most of the time, there is no real business.
If you really want to talk about it, the emperor's boudoir doesn't have much fun, and it is like a dragonfly that makes the harem rain and dew even wet, no wonder there are few heirs.
"I don't want a general election. I'm too lazy to get a bunch of people in the harem. Besides, I'm also in my forties, and it's not interesting to get a few teenage girls into the palace. The emperor said that he has always been not lustful, and when he was a prince, the women around him were also pointed out to him by the emperor. No matter how much the emperor didn't like him, he wouldn't treat his son badly at this point.
So the women around him, although there are not many, have always been not few. Some of these women came in late, some came in early, some went early, some added later, and some were specially selected. After becoming the crown prince, his status has become higher, and there are several more women around him. These women are fat and thin, each with their own merits, and in general, they can still enter his eyes. Of course, the women who couldn't get into his eyes were long gone.
Imperial Physician Zhu knew that the emperor was jealous, and he envied the deep relationship between Master Zhou and Yu Mingyi, who could still have children at the age of forty. also envy Geng Qiu and Ah Hao, these two are not young. But how can the concubines in the harem be compared with Ah Hao and Yu Mingyi. First, people are the only ones in the special room, and secondly, the husbands and wives are very affectionate.
Which of the ladies in the palace can be extremely affectionate with the emperor? The emperor has to take care of this person's face today, go to her palace once, and tomorrow he will take care of the other person's face, and this month, the number of times he has been distributed to each person is only one or two. It's really not easy to get pregnant.
"Forget it, forget it, I have two princes, and it's enough to raise them well. The rest of things, as you say, depend on fate. "The emperor is self-explanatory.
"Your Majesty, your heirs are a little less, but the emperor is not very old, and there are also mothers in the harem, and there will be children born in the palace." Doctor Zhu's words can be regarded as telling the truth. Since Yu Mingyi and Ah Hao can be pregnant, among the emperor's concubines, there are actually not many who are older than them, most of them are also about thirty, and there are still a few who are less than twenty. These ladies have always been good at taking care of their bodies, and if the emperor is lucky a few more times, maybe someone will be pregnant.
Because of Ah Hao's leave, the emperor did not approve it. He had to mention his mental errand, but Geng Qiu had just taken office, and he was so busy that he couldn't wait to divide himself into several petals to use, even if he went home at night, he had to be busy until late at night. Geng Qiu was worried about Ah Hao's body again, he watched Yu Mingyi pregnant with Ah Chi and gave birth to Ah Chi, and he was always worried in his heart, although Ah Hao was several years younger than Yu Mingyi and physically strong, but Ah Hao was not in his twenties. Therefore, I can't wait to keep Mrs. Zhu in my own home, so that he can be by Ah Hao's side all the time.
"Brother Qiu, I'm in good health. Don't worry too much, you're tired yourself, don't get me any more supper. Ah Hao persuaded.
Ah Hao gulped down a bowl of shredded chicken noodles from Geng Qiulong, and he didn't know Geng Qiulong's food, and he felt that it was particularly fragrant. He was still young, and his stomach didn't show any nostalgia at all, but his taste became strange. In the past, he was meatless and unhappy, but now he can't eat big oil and meat. On the stove, he worked hard, took out eighteen kinds of martial arts, and didn't bring the same kind of food every day, but he couldn't satisfy him, and he was hungry in the middle of the night every day.
Geng Qiu understands very well that people who are pregnant will have strange tastes, so he cooks by himself as much as possible, but he really doesn't have time during the day. I had to order the kitchen to stew soup, take the soup stock and put some noodles from time to time, or make two seasonal side dishes, and cook some porridge for Ah Hao for supper.
"I know, just get this little thing, it's not tiring, and most of the work is done by them first. Eat quickly, eat well and rest. After Geng Qiu finished speaking, he yawned several times in a row.
