Third Sister You got pregnant after a year of marriage, which caught the two people who were unprepared a little off guard. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially Liu Xianglian, her parents died when she was young, and she has no brothers and sisters in the family, although the Liu family still has some in-laws, and the contacts are not frequent. Therefore, Liu Xianglian developed the temperament of wandering and wandering around at a young age. Over the years, although the best friends are all over the world, they can't be a family after all. Only after marrying the third sister did I feel the benefits of having a family.

Now that Third Sister You is pregnant again, he will be able to be a father in a few months.

Since then, there has been flesh and blood, and the mood that has been inherited is very delicate. Liu Xianglian's excited eyes were red, and she was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, and hurriedly and carefully helped Third Sister You, who didn't even show her belly, to sit on the bed, and asked Lang Zhong what to avoid when a woman was pregnant. even laid out several details on paper and ink, and called the cook in the house and the maid who served the third sister You in detail.

You are not allowed to eat this, you are not allowed to drink that, and you are not allowed to go there...... Third Sister You leaned crookedly on the stepping bed and looked at Liu Xianglian's chattering appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Where is it so expensive." You don't want to sting like this, it makes me nervous. ”

Liu Xianglian turned around and smiled: "This is the first one in our Liu family's life, don't you be nervous." Besides, it's my first time being a father, so I'm naturally nervous. Wait for a few more of these things in the future, and maybe I'll be better. ”

Liu Xianglian suddenly got this good news, and she was very happy. He didn't even speak at all.

Third Sister You laughed when she heard it. The maids and ladies who stood in the courtyard and listened to the training also pursed their lips and smiled. Liu Xianglian didn't care, and still ordered the account room to reward the servants of the mansion with three months' monthly money from the maids and daughters-in-law, which can be regarded as joy and joy.

Seeing this, the maids and ladies in the courtyard ran to the yard to kowtow to the old lady and say hello.

Liu Xianglian smiled from ear to ear, hurriedly wrote two more letters home, and ordered someone to send them back to Chang'an quickly. Inform the You family and the Chen family.

Third Sister You looked at Liu Xianglian, who was so stupid, and couldn't help but smile and touched her lower abdomen, which was still flat.

This is my first child. He was still so small that he couldn't see any signs of his still slender figure.

Fragile lives deserve to be cherished and protected in the best.

Thinking so, Third Sister You suddenly felt a hint of motherly love rise in her heart.

In order to ensure that she can raise the fetus with peace of mind, Third Sister You even gave up the business of Xihai Villa, and stayed at home to eat, drink and maintain her body.

And in Chang'an, thousands of miles away, the elders of the You Chen family were also very happy after receiving Liu Xianglian's family letter.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still Brother Bao to take care of at home, the Chen family couldn't wait to immediately prepare a carriage and horse to take care of the third sister along the West Sea.

Even if he couldn't come in person, Chen still instructed his brother to invite two grandmothers from the palace who were best at protecting the fetus and sending them to Xihai.

Guyin's children have the most tender skin, and even when they make new clothes from the finest and softest fabrics, they are prone to red scratches. If you wear clean old clothes, it will be different, not only the clothes are comfortable, but also wearing hundreds of clothes will also have a good omen.

By the time the grandmother, clothes, and other items prepared by You Chen's family were delivered to the West Sea Coast, it was already two months later.

At that time, Third Sister You was already five months pregnant, and her slender figure became plump, but there were no other changes. Nor is it like some women. I can eat and sleep, and my life is more leisurely than when I was not pregnant.

Compared with the leisurely appearance of the third sister You, Liu Xianglian is much busier in official business. As the deeds of the West Sea Master escorting the maritime merchants to the vassal kingdom for trade and luring the skilled craftsmen of the vassal kingdom with the generous profits of high-ranking officials spread in the foreign countries of Fanbang, many talented people from thousands of miles to the West Sea slowly gathered along the coast of the West Sea.

Among these people, there are either real talents and real learning, or there are people who are confused, some of them were hooked back by the West Sea Master for profit, and some of them rushed over spontaneously after knowing the news, all in order to fight for a future.

Capable people from all over the world gather in the West Sea, and there is still a steady stream of people who come to serve. Regardless of whether these people have real skills or not, when they come to work, they all have skills that can make the court treat them differently. Not to mention that everyone was coveted by the previous to make self-striking bells, craftsmen with large pieces of glass, such as Liu Xianglian's most important craftsmen who make strong ships and cannons and various firearms, are also common.

There are also some people who bring various formulas that they have designed all their lives, but they are not supported by the superiors in their own country, and they are even ridiculed. Hearing that the imperial court intends to recruit capable people, they all came to serve with a glimmer of hope.

Liu Xianglian did not refuse, and the future people were divided into several waves, some of them were sent to the shipyard, some of them were sent to the general prison, and some of them were placed in several newly purchased workshops along the West Sea. Most of the latter's main research and development are Western machines, including ornaments, large pieces of glass, dressing mirrors and other things that can make money.

In order to encourage research and development, Liu Xianglian even promised a lot of money that as long as these craftsmen can drum things out and sell them at a good price, the court will not be stingy with rewards.

Because of these many trivial matters, the busy Liu Xianglian had no chance to accompany Third Sister You at all. Many times, Liu Xianglian returned home wearing the stars and the moon, and the pregnant Third Sister You had already slept. When Liu Xianglian got up early and returned to the camp the next day, Third Sister You hadn't woken up yet......

Liu Xianglian was very ashamed in her heart. However, when I think of the importance of the saint and my own duty, it is not good to neglect my duties.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and Liu Xianglian was still very smooth in the progress of official business. The reason why those skilled craftsmen defected to the imperial court was only for fame and fortune. Now Liu Xianglian has allowed them to hold official positions with gold and silver, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and in a few months, these craftsmen who came to defect with their own stunts have made great progress. At least the large pieces of glass and the golden bell that made the whole court covet came out.

The remaining gold-inlaid treasure design patterns and other matters also have the help of the local craftsmen of the imperial court, so that the combination of such things, the final drum of the golden self-striking bell is actually more exquisite and luxurious than the tribute of Fanbang.

And this year, the taxes along the West Sea also increased by at least five times compared with last year because of Liu Xianglian's various measures to encourage maritime trade, as well as the Jin Ziming Bell Workshop and the glass workshop purchased by the imperial court.

It is simply the sum of the taxes paid by the king of Nan'an County for five years when he guarded the West Sea. and one-third of the imperial court tax this year.

When the people sent by Xihai Yanzi to pay tribute arrived in Chang'an, the Manchu civil and military forces were shocked by the changes in Xihai Yanzi. I knew that Liu Xianglian was invincible in naval warfare, but I didn't expect Liu Xianglian to have such a talent in the way of economic governance.

Sure enough, it's not a family, and it doesn't enter a family.

The civil and military officials sighed for a while, and then turned the topic to the head of Chen Qi, the head of the head of the head of the household secretary.

When Liu Xianglian sent soldiers to escort taxes and tributes to Chang'an, she also brought a golden self-striking bell designed by craftsmen to "Wanbang to the Dynasty" as an annual gift to His Majesty. The length and width of this golden bell are three feet long, imitating the three-dimensional mode of the sand table, carving out the Qinzheng Hall of the Daming Palace with gold and jade, the figure shape of the inlaid gold inlaid treasure is lifelike, and all kinds of dazzling Fanbang tributes are even more amazing. And with the golden bell after the clockwork, the music box device in the body can naturally imitate the ritual music played in the Daming Palace when the imperial court received the envoys of Fanbang. The emperor wearing a dragon robe is high, and the civil and military officials wearing official uniforms are all seated below, and the envoys of Fanbang either stand outside the palace and wait for the summons, or sit in the palace to enjoy the song and dance. And in the center of the Qinzheng Palace, there is also a musician dancing with music, and its characters are portrayed in detail, as if they have come to life.

When this exquisite craftsmanship and luxurious shape of the gold-inlaid treasure "Wanbang Lai Chao" gold self-striking bell was sent to Chang'an, it attracted the pursuit of the wealthy in Chang'an City.

The saint was even more overjoyed when he saw this, and as soon as he received this golden self-striking bell, he gave it to the old saint who lived in the harem to play with. At the same time, the imperial court's intention to set up a city division along the West Sea was also put on the table. The sage personally issued an order to order officials to rush to the West Sea to set up a city department after the spring of the next year.

In order to commend Liu Xianglian's merits, the sage issued a decree to entitle Liu Xianglian, the former commander of the West Sea Division, to be promoted to the envoy of the West Sea Festival.

Liu Xianglian and the weak crown are in a second-class high position, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are red and envious. But I have to admit that Yiliu Xianglian's current meritorious achievements are really not allowed to serve as the envoy of the Xihai Festival.

Not to mention how the civil and military officials in Chang'an City think, because the third sister You is heavier and not easy to toss, Liu Xianglian is also the first year to serve as the envoy of the Xihai Festival, and the sage personally ordered Liu Xianglian to guard the Xihai coast, and there is no need to go to Beijing to continue her post.

So the husband and wife spent a New Year in the West Sea.

Although there are only two people, the civil and military generals along the Xihai Sea and the people who are friends with Liu Xianglian also need to exchange courtesies. And because the third sister You is too heavy to visit, and now Liu Xianglian is a high power, so all the officials and eunuchs along the Xihai Sea take advantage of the New Year's festival to visit, from the third day of the Lunar New Year to the twenties of the first month, people come every day, and they don't feel lonely when they are busy.

After the old age, Liu Xianglian's official affairs became more and more busy. It is necessary to worry about the operation of various workshops along the West Sea, and even the cooperation with the household department, as well as the matters such as the city shipping division that will be established after the New Year, as well as the things that Liu Xianglian values most to build strong ships and guns and various firearms, as well as the matters of the West Sea Division to inspect coastal defense and train soldiers...... There are all kinds of things to be done, and sometimes when the busy Liu Xianglian's family comes, it is already two or three watches in the second half of the night.

Third Sister You was at home all day long, and she couldn't see Liu Xianglian working so hard, so she simply learned the way of medicinal diet, and was ready to nourish Liu Xianglian.

The days are like this, and in the blink of an eye, it has entered July again.

Third Sister You launched.

At that time, Third Sister You was having breakfast with Liu Xianglian and was about to eat two mouthfuls of porridge. Sudden stomach pain.

The bursts of pain made Third Sister You instantly overflow with cold sweat all over her body. The whole person couldn't bear to fall. Liu Xianglian jumped up from the chair in a panic, took a step forward, and picked up Third Sister You into the delivery room that had been prepared a long time ago.

But he was pushed out by four stable women.

Liu Xianglian was at a loss. Listening to the screams coming from the delivery room, Liu Xianglian was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, turning around in front of the door under the window. Later, he couldn't bear it anymore, and stood under the window and shouted: "Third sister, don't be afraid, I'm outside." I'm out there with you......"

The midwives and the maids in the delivery room couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Only Third Sister You was throbbing in pain, her brain was muddy, and she instinctively listened to Wen Po's words and was wet. I don't know how long it took, but I heard a burst of cheers in the room, and Wen Po loudly reported the good news: "Congratulations to Mrs., Mrs. Hexi, is a healthy and clever young man......"

Third Sister You breathed a sigh of relief, and then her eyes were dark, and she felt that all the strength in her body was like a tide and she didn't know where to retreat, and the whole person was lying on the bed like a salted fish, sweating all over her body, and even gasping for breath.

Liu Xianglian, who was guarding outside, was overjoyed, and hurriedly stopped the grandmother who came out of the delivery room and asked, "How is the third sister?" How's your brother? ”

Mama said with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, master." Both mother and child are safe. ”

Liu Xianglian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Can I go in?" ”

"It's not going to be done." Mama hurriedly stopped and said, "I just gave birth to my brother, and the room is very pickled." You'll have to pack it up. ”

Liu Xianglian nodded, thought about it, and shouted through the window: "Third sister, you are so resting, I'll go out and hang the bow and arrow first." I'll be with you later. ”

After that, he dragged the maids and ladies under the porch to give them a good order, and ordered the kitchen to pass the meal, chattering for a while, and then took the boys out to hang bows and arrows.

At the same time, he also sent his family to wait everywhere to report the good news.

When Liu Xianglian came back again, Third Sister You was lying on the bed with her brother.

The little brother was wrapped in a big red swaddling cloth, red and red, and was sleeping peacefully. Third Sister You lay beside her brother with her arms on her pillow, and gently patted the swaddling clothes with one hand.

When Liu Xianglian saw this scene, she only felt that her heart had melted.

He walked lightly to the edge of the bed and sat down gently, holding Third Sister You'er's hand and whispering, "I'm tired of you." ”

Third Sister You smiled slightly and replied softly, "What are you talking about?" ”

Liu Xianglian said again: "I have already sent someone to Chang'an City to deliver the letter." ”

Third Sister You nodded, and asked with a smile, "Have you thought about what name to give your brother?" ”

Since the third sister You was pregnant, Liu Xianglian would turn the book every day, saying that she wanted to give her brother the best name. It's a pity that a few months have passed in the blink of an eye, but Liu Xianglian has not yet decided on a name. So far, the children have been born. I don't know if Liu Xianglian has a charter.

When Liu Xianglian heard this, she smiled and said, "I've thought about it." In "Chu Ci", there was a poem Huai Jin holding Yu, and our brother is called Huai Jin, nicknamed Brother Jin. What do you think? ”

"Brother Jin, Brother Jin'er......" Third Sister You said a few times, and smiled unconsciously: "I think it's very good." ”

The meaning is good, and the shouting is good.

On the third day after Third Sister You gave birth to Brother Jin'er, the Chen family rushed over from Chang'an.

She came over calculating the due date of Third Sister You. In addition to wanting to meet the third sister as soon as possible, it is also to help the third sister do a good job of the full moon ceremony and the day.

After all, Liu Xianglian's parents died, and there is no reliable elder in the family. In the past, when the third sister You was preparing to get married, she was taken care of by the old grandmother in the palace, but now that the child has been born, it will not be very appropriate if the old lady helps with the full moon.

And Third Sister You just gave birth to her brother, and she has to be confined. I really can't get tired.

The mother and daughter haven't seen each other for many years, so naturally they have some private things to say. The Chen family saw his grandson first, and lived in a room with Third Sister You that night. Instead, Liu Xianglian was sent to the guest room to live.

“…… Your uncle's family, except for the old lady and the old lady, who are too old to work, the rest are all rushing here. Brother Jin will definitely be able to arrive before the full moon. Your big sister and second sister can also arrive. Your fourth sister got married last year, so she should have rushed here from Jiangnan. I was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't bring Brother Bao'er. Brother Bao had a lot of trouble at home, so he had to come along. In the end, it was your master who spoke, and he followed your master over. Your lord and your uncle have taken two months off. If it weren't for the saint looking at your uncle and son-in-law's faces, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to allow this vacation......"

The night was as cold as water, the third sister of the Chen family was lying on the bed side by side, the Chen family chattered about the family affairs in Chang'an City, and the third sister You slowly fell asleep in the voice of the Chen family.

The Chen family and the father and son of the You family really dared to arrive at the West Sea when Brother Jin was full moon. At the same time, Chen Qi also brought a longevity lock inlaid with gold and emeralds given to Jin Ge'er by the sage.

Chen Huan hugged Brother Jin'er, who was so big, and looked at Brother Jin'er's eyebrows while smiling in front of Liu Xianglian: "No wonder the world says that nephews are like uncles." Look at Brother Jin'er's eyebrows, eyes and nose, it really looks very similar to me. ”

Liu Xianglian looked at Chen Huan's appearance, and she was a little speechless.

I don't know if it's the origin of family learning or what, Chen Huan still has a bit of gentlemanly warmth and restraint when he was young, and now that he is getting older, this temperament is getting closer and closer to his father Chen Jue. And because he was born in Hanlin, and he is the son-in-law of Xu Zichuan, a famous scholar in the Qingliu Dynasty, he has also been exposed to the Confucian demeanor of some of his father-in-law, and the whole person looks more and more bright as the bright moon.

Even the saint couldn't help but praise it a few times. It is only said that Chen Hua is "blue out of blue and better than blue." ”

praised Chen Jue even more as "a successor." ”

Liu Xianglian was naturally very angry with such an uncle who had inherited her uncle's temperament.

Because of Liu Xianglian's high power, Chen Qi's father and son who came to participate in Brother Jin'er's full moon ceremony were even more Jane in the emperor's heart, and Brother Jin'er's full moon ceremony along the West Sea was also very lively.

The guests are like a cloud gate and a city, and there is an endless stream of people who come to say goodbye. In particular, the high-level generals of the Xihai Division and the civil officials of the fifth rank and above in Xihai County have all arrived.

Chen Qi looked coldly at the group of people at the full moon banquet, and was shocked to think of the king of Nan'an County who supported his troops along the West Sea back then.

Chen Jue has always been a cautious and cautious temperament. He has always sought the long-term foundation of the family, not a temporary success.

Although the familiar sage is not a suspicious person, the West Sea is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and now under the governance of Liu Xianglian, he is strong and strong, and has abundant money and food. In particular, Liu Xianglian's most important guns, guns, and various firearms, as the West Sea division has repeatedly defeated the pirates who came to Koubian in the past year, it has become famous all over the world.

There are many first-class people in the court who are blushing at the ointment of the West Sea, and they have spoken in front of the saint.

Although there is still Chen Qi next to the saint to constantly mediate for Liu Xianglian as a guarantee, as the soldiers and horses along the West Sea become stronger and stronger, the taxes become more and more generous, and those who have a heart are slandered, I really don't know if the saint will be suspicious.

Chen Qi thought of this, so he took advantage of the full moon banquet to call Liu Xianglian into the study. asked him bluntly, "You have also been in Xihaizi for three years." Ever wondered what to do next? ”

Chen Qi originally thought that he would hear two statements, one was that Liu Xianglian was reluctant to leave the foundation she had created. One is that Liu Xianglian has a long-term plan and will come up with a way to appease His Majesty.

But he didn't expect that after Liu Xianglian groaned slightly, he actually asked, "Uncle, if I want to hang the seal and go...... Don't know what you think? ”

Chen Qi was shocked when he heard this, and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”

Liu Xianglian was silent for a while, and said, "Actually, I already had this plan. Uncle, you also know that I am lazy by nature, and I have never considered becoming an official in the court. The reason why there are today's achievements is all for the sake of the third sister. But I found ......"

Liu Xianglian told the story that when the third sister was pregnant, she could not accompany the third sister because of official duties, and even had to work hard for the third sister to make medicinal food for herself. At the end, he said sincerely: "I am now a high and powerful, and I have not failed to live up to Your Majesty's trust. Even if this son returns to his hometown, it is not considered to be halfway. Besides, with my current ability, I can also ensure that the third sister, mother and son are not oppressed by others, and they don't have to worry about money. In that case, why should I be in love with power...... Life is short, if you can't stay with the person you love for life, it is a great achievement, what is the use. ”

Chen Jue was speechless. I never expected Liu Xianglian to have such thoughts.

It saved him from his tongue.

It's just that although Liu Xianglian's idea is to stay with the third sister for a long time, it is still inappropriate after all.

It's just because today is not a heroic figure who "dies of cunning rabbits, cooks lackeys, flies all birds, and hides good bows". Since the accession of the saint to the throne, anyone who has assisted him and has not committed a great mistake is now a person of high authority or honor.

Nowadays, Liu Xianglian is so valued, and even at the expense of promising a high position in his weak crown year, he must also have hope for Liu Xianglian.

Now Liu Xianglian is going to hang the seal in order to be able to stay with his wife, and those who know will say that he has a romantic character, and those who don't know are afraid to guess that the saint is intolerable.

Chen Qi wanted to protect his family for eternity, but he didn't want to hurt the saint. So he admonished Liu Xianglian: "When I return to Beijing this time, I will advise the sage and transfer you back to Chang'an...... Now the work of building strong ships, cannons and firearms along the West Sea has achieved results. The sage intended the provinces to follow the example of the West Sea. It is also intended to build a firearms battalion in Beijing. It happened that Lord Yang, the secretary of the military department, was too old and felt that his energy was not enough, so he handed over the old man's fold several times, and the sage already had the intention of agreeing. As a result, the post of secretary of the military department was vacant. I can suggest to Your Majesty that you take over the military headquarters and take charge of the new firearms battalion. The saint will surely ......"

"When the time comes, you take the third sister and Brother Jin back to Chang'an, except for the wartime, there is almost nothing to do on weekdays, and you can also be idle."

This idea hit Liu Xianglian's wish. He gladly complied.

It's just that Brother Jin is too young now, so he can't help but work hard, hoping to wait until Brother Bao is over the age of one before returning to Chang'an.

And that's a natural thing. Moreover, Liu Xianglian served as an envoy along the West Sea, and then transferred after serving for five years, which is more in line with the rules of the imperial court.
