One hundred and sixty-seven, the Taishou returns
On October 15, Cao Lan suddenly had a stomachache at breakfast, and Guo Peng was so frightened that he immediately called the midwife.
Hearing the news, Cao Song didn't go to the court anymore, and waited in the mansion with Guo Peng.
At noon that day, Lu Zhi also hurried over and waited with Guo Peng, and almost half an hour later, Cao Lan successfully gave birth to a baby boy, and the mother and child were safe.
Guo Peng cried with joy, holding the little child and not knowing what to say, so he listened to the midwife who delivered the baby praise Cao Lan for her good health.
said that although it is dangerous to have a child, Mrs. Guo's body is much better than that of other women, and she has the strength to give birth to the child in one go.
Guo Peng, Cao Song and Lu Zhi discussed together and decided to name the child Jun, Guo Jun.
Guo Peng had a second son and became the father of two children, and that night he held a feast, first of all to his relatives and friends.
Hearing that Guo Peng had another son, fox friends and dog friends came to congratulate him together, wishing Guo Peng more sons and more blessings, and having more sons and so on.
There are many sons born in this year, both men and women are enviable, and they will have a lot of face with friends.
If you have few children, or if you don't have children after marriage, you will be ridiculed and alienated by your friends.
Yuan Shu was very envious of Guo Peng's two sons when he was younger than him, he was older than Guo Peng, and now he has only one son.
When he came to congratulate, he gave a lot of gifts, and then pulled Guo Peng to ask Guo Peng in private if he had any special secret recipes for giving birth.
Guo Peng undoubtedly has a lot of face.
He is only in his twenties and has two sons, which means that Guo Peng has strong fertility and is a strong man.
Whether it is for the sake of inheritance or for the sake of male instinct, Guo Peng is very strong, so Guo Peng has won the envy of many fox friends who only have a son or do not have a son.
In addition to Yuan Shu, many people also asked Guo Peng whether there was any special skill for letting his wife give birth to two sons in a row.
Guo Peng couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't know how to tell them, did he want Guo Peng to give them the knowledge of X chromosome and Y chromosome now?
Guo Peng only said that his body is very good, and his wife's health is also very good, he deliberately asked his wife to pay attention to exercise, saying that if both husband and wife are in good health, they should be able to have more sons and other ambiguous words, but some people really believe it.
I heard that there were people who went back and forced their wives to start practicing swords.
……………………
Because there are indeed some people in this group of fox friends who have been married for a long time but have not yet given birth to children.
They are urged by the elders in the family to have children every day, and they are shown off by friends who have many children outside, not only the family is under great pressure, but they are also under great pressure, and they feel very shameless.
Feelings are also traditional culture, right?
Guo Peng went around in a big circle and came to Luoyang to accompany Cao Lan to give birth to the child, and after the child was born safely and smoothly, Guo Peng began to discuss with Cao Song and Mrs. Ding about moving.
"Go to the Upper Valley......"
Cao Song was silent for a while, looked at Mrs. Ding with an obviously reluctant look on her face, and shook her head helplessly.
"Zifeng, Alan is your wife, it's good for you to decide, you are now too guarded, family reunion is a matter of course, and long-term separation is not good for children, so be it."
Cao Song didn't object, and Mrs. Ding had nothing to do, so she could only hold Guo Peng's hand and ask him to take care of Cao Lan.
And Guo Peng didn't want Cao Lan to go now, but hoped to wait for Cao Lan's body to recover, and then take the child with him, there is no need to be too anxious, taking care of the body is the first thing.
A month later, Guo Peng held a full moon banquet for Xiao Guo Jun in Luoyang, which could be regarded as his farewell banquet.
After this banquet, his vacation will come to an end, and it is time to leave Luoyang and return to Shanggu.
Before leaving, Lu Zhi and Yuan Shu and others came to say goodbye, and Guo Peng said goodbye to them and embarked on the way home.
This time, the next time I come back, it should be after the death of Emperor Ling, and the next two years are the final buffer and preparation period, and they are two years that Guo Peng cannot waste no matter what.
Everything that should be done has been done, the foundation that should be laid has been laid, and Guo Peng is mentally prepared.
Psychological preparation for troubled times.
The majestic and magnificent city of Luoyang in front of you will soon be shrouded in blood and fire, and everything in it will be turned into a victim under the interweaving of different personal ambitions and desires.
And as a person who knows everything, Guo Peng knows better that this is his opportunity.
It is when the back hands that he himself buried a long time ago can be recycled, and after these things are recycled, Guo Peng will have the capital that can really stand in the troubled times.
I'll be back.
Guo Peng took one last look at Luoyang City, then turned his head away and never looked at it again.
In late November, Guo Peng hurried back to Fuyang County, Shanggu County, where his Taishou Mansion, where all his subordinates and generals gathered to extend his most sincere greetings to Guo Peng.
First of all, we don't talk about work, the first thing to do is to distribute gifts.
Distribute your own gifts from Jiangdong, from Xuzhou, and from Luoyang.
Guo Peng is like a Santa Claus who specializes in giving gifts to children, unloading all his carloads of gifts and sending them to the Wenchen generals under his command one by one.
Money, silk cloth, gold, souvenirs, jade, weapons, war horses.
They were all smiling, and even Cheng Li, who was usually the most unsmiling, smiled, because Guo Peng not only gave condolence gifts, but also gave each of them a beautiful concubine to warm the bed.
First of all, it is clear that the marriage system operated in ancient China has always been monogamous, which is very standard.
Only the privileged class could have a certain number of concubines outside of monogamy.
Before the Yuan Dynasty, commoner men were not allowed to have concubines, no matter how rich they were, as long as they were not from the privileged class, they could only live with one woman for the rest of their lives, and implement the monogamous system.
It was not until Tan Cheng, an official of the Yuan Dynasty, suggested to the imperial court that commoners over the age of forty who did not have sons should be allowed to take concubines to continue the incense, and then the Ming Dynasty continued this system, that commoner men had the right to take concubines.
But it was also very strict, and only commoner men over forty years of age who had no sons could take concubines.
If this rule is not observed, the wife can report to the official, the man will be whipped forty, and the concubine will be forcibly expelled.
In the Han Dynasty, the common people were only monogamous, scholars were allowed to have one wife and one concubine, and ordinary officials were allowed to have one wife and two concubines.
Only those who have made great contributions to the title of princes can have eight concubines, that is, the so-called "meritorious and entitled, you must prepare eight concubines".
This is a tradition left over from the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period can have one wife and eight concubines, and even when they can take concubines, the number of concubines, there are very clear regulations, which belongs to the law of etiquette, and there can be no chaos.
Guo Peng summoned his subordinates and gave them the status of subordinate officials, so they could have the right to take concubines.
Before that, people like Cheng Li, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun did not have the right to take concubines because they were just ordinary people and ordinary landlords.
Anyway, Cheng Li was very happy.
"Lord, Lidu is so old, this ...... Not suitable, right? ”
Cheng Li returned the Taishou sword and seal ribbon to Guo Peng, and Guo Peng gave him the beautiful girl.
"What's out of place? Zhongde, official business is important, private life is equally important, you can live well by combining work and rest, your family is in your hometown, you can't follow, what do you have, multiple women help you handle it, isn't it also good? ”
Guo Peng said this, Cheng Li didn't know how to refute, and the pride and ambition of Lao Ji Fu Fu for thousands of miles suddenly rose in his heart, so he had to accept this beautiful girl with an old face.
