Chapter 1047: Another Daughter
"Brother...... Brother......"
Just when Chen Xu was popularizing the knowledge of atmospheric pressure with a group of people after the experiment, there were a few shouts of surprise from outside the crowd, and as the crowd outside dispersed in the scolding, I saw a few fast horses rushing in, led by a young man wearing a long shirt with a dark face and a surprised face, it was Han Xin who followed Wang Ben to Lingnan to fight, and Han Xin had a man who looked black and thin next to him, it was Hu Kuan, vice president of the School of Engineering, and behind the two there was a group of craftsmen and a few soldiers in armor who went with them.
"Hey, the second brother is back!" Chen Xu was also very happy when he saw it, turned to Chen Ping and Zhang Cang and said, "It's troublesome for Secretary Chen and Dean Zhang here, Ben Hou will go back to the house first if he has something to do today!" ”
"Don't worry, Master Hou, I will arrange the follow-up later!" Chen Ping and Hu Kuan hurriedly surrendered their hands together.
Chen Xu took three wives and a group of guards to meet him, Han Xin and Hu Kuan and others jumped off the horse, several people had not seen each other for at least more than a year, naturally very excited and excited, a greeting greeting, Han Xin also gave water to the water and waited for a few sisters-in-law to salute, then excitedly looked at the towering Keju field and said: "Time flies, I have only been away for two years, I didn't expect that Keju Square has been repaired, and it is so lively, I regret it......"
"Why regret it, the time for your return is just right, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, and then there will be thunder fireworks shows and lantern riddle parades in Xianyang and Keju Square in the evening, and the night is the real lively time, just come back, hurry back to the house to wash and rest, and my brother will take you to see the emperor at night!"
Chen Xu looked Han Xin up and down several times when he spoke, and found that Han Xin had changed a lot in the past two years, although he was smart and clever before, he had a sense of frivolity with a flamboyant tongue, but today it seems that not only has his body grown much taller, but his skin is also tanned, but his speech and momentum have changed very much, and his demeanor and conversation have gradually gained a lot of momentum.
"Isn't that Vice Dean Zhang and Secretary Chen, hey, why are people from several colleges here, Master Hou, why are everyone so neat today?" Hu Kuan saw Chen Ping, Zhang Cang and others who were gathering in the crowd in the two halves of the iron ball and were busy discussing.
"Ben Hou is bored, I just did an atmospheric pressure test, I don't need to explain this matter, you can find out with the vice president later, you are tired from the journey all the way back, you should go back to the house to wash and rest first, come to Ben Hou's mansion for dinner in the evening, and then go together to enjoy the lanterns and guess the lantern riddles!" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"What Hou Ye said is that Kuan has not been home for a whole year and a half, I don't know how his wife and children are at home, Hou Ye forgives his sins, and Kuan first leaves!" Hu Kuan said gratefully.
"It's okay, you have a lot of credit for the battle of Lingnan, and after the Tongwu Hou class returns to the dynasty, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, this time you are indispensable for the title of a young king, and you will not be so busy in the future, go!" Chen Xu waved his hand, Hu Kuan and a group of craftsmen from the Academy of Sciences all bowed their hands and went to greet Zhang Cang and the others, and then rode away from Keju Square.
"Second brother, come back to my house with me, and tell me about the process of conquering Lingnan later!" Chen Xu beckoned the guards and coachmen to prepare the carriage, and although Han Xin looked at the towering Keju Square and the surrounding commercial buildings, he still nodded respectfully and agreed, letting the group of soldiers who escorted him back go home separately, and then honestly followed Chen Xu home.
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye~~"
Just as Chen Xu's carriage was walking to the Weihe Bridge, suddenly several fast horses galloped along the river embankment from the southeast.
"Master Hou is going home quickly, the fourth lady is about to give birth!" Several fast horses rushed to the front of Chen Xu's carriage and stopped, and a steward of the Hou Mansion jumped off the horse, and his tongue was a little knotted with excitement.
"Really? Hurry, hurry back to the other courtyard! Chen Xu was immediately excited when he heard this, and the water that came from the same car, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan were also excited.
"By the way, quickly arrange for someone to go to the health center to find Dr. Xu......
"Remember to let him bring a few more nurses who are familiar with midwifery~~"
Chen Xu's carriage rushed across the Weihe Bridge without stopping at all, and then made a big drift turn, and went along the cement road of the newly repaired Riverside Garden to the Qinghe Courtyard, and after walking away, you could still hear Chen Xu's shout drifting in the wind.
"Master Hou is too forgetful, didn't Imperial Doctor Xu already invite him to another hospital this morning?" A servant of the Hou Mansion touched the back of his head and muttered inexplicably.
"I dare to criticize the Hou Ye, be careful that he has a divine thunder to split out your feces and urine, please Taiyi Xu was ordered by the eldest lady yesterday, although the eldest lady has never had an heir, but she is a disciple of Liezi, not only strong in martial arts, but also proficient in medicine, it must be that she knew that the fourth lady was going to give birth today before arranging it in advance, since I have found the Hou Ye, I will go back early, once the fourth lady gives birth, the Hou Mansion is afraid that it will be lively for a while!" The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion turned over on his horse, turned his head to look at the lively and noisy Keju Square, and with a slight regret, he took a few servants to chase Chen Xu's carriage.
Fan Caiying is pregnant to term, according to Chen Xu's judgment should be given birth during the Mid-Autumn Festival, although he was also mentally prepared, but the good news came suddenly, which still made him a little excited and a little out of shape, so he sat in the carriage and scratched his ears and cheeks all the way, but because there were two wives who were also pregnant in the carriage, he came back to his senses after running half a mile, and told the coachman to slow down, and his heart was already very anxious at this time.
"Don't be anxious, husband, I have already asked Imperial Doctor Xu yesterday, and now he should have taken care of Sister Caiying in another hospital!" Shui gently looked at Chen Xu, who was restless, and comforted.
"That's good, it's better for the lady to think carefully, these days because of this broken test, I have been a little anxious!" Chen Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, holding the gentle hand of the water, and instantly felt that his mood calmed down.
"Sister Shui once checked Sister Caiying's pulse, do you know if Sister Caiying will give birth to a boy or a daughter?" Meng Wan asked in a whisper.
Shui was soft, there seemed to be a little fireworks in the depths of her eyes, her beautiful cheeks frowned slightly, and she quickly returned to her usual tranquility and said with a smile: "My medical skills are shallow, where can I see it, even Imperial Doctor Xu has not succeeded in distinguishing it several times!" ”
"Wan'er don't have to worry about men or daughters, whether men and women are husbands, they will be treated equally, so you and Shiyan don't have to be uneasy because of this, and don't find a doctor to diagnose and distinguish, yin and yang harmony is the best way in the world, so giving birth to a boy and a girl is destined by God, no need to deliberately care, men and daughters can also be heirlooms, Wan'er, you just saw that your brother didn't, he is in his twenties, and he is still doing that kind of thing all day long, not doing his job at all, playing and playing like a prodigal son, and leaving the four princesses at home is not pity at all, What's the use of this kind of son, if I were your father, I'd kill him! ”
"Hehe, husband, don't speak ill of my brother, be careful I tell him!" Meng Wan covered her mouth and laughed.
"If you go and sue, if he dares to come to me for trouble, even if you win, hehe!" Chen Xu grinned a few times.
"I'm afraid that Meng Gongzi won't dare to come to trouble my husband, but because of the Keju League, Meng Gongzi and others have also earned a lot of money, and I heard that Doctor Yu Shi is also very good to Meng Gongzi now, but I also heard that my husband used to beat Meng Gongzi's nose and face was swollen, is there really such a thing?" Ying Shiyan asked with a smile.
"Haha, of course there is!" Chen Xu instantly remembered the incident of beating Meng Yun in Qinghe Town, and his mood instantly became refreshed.
And when I remembered that Meng Yun's delicate face was beaten into a pig's head, and after Ma Teng's identity was exposed, Chen Xu's heart was almost shattered at that time, at that time he was just a little-known mountain village and wild boy, a little one who is not up to grade now, not only offended Ma Teng, but also injured Zhao Zhe offended Zhao Gao, and then beat Meng Yun again, and crossed over to the Great Qin Empire before he even covered his body and offended several top people one after another, at that time Chen Xu's mood was already complicated to the point of being indescribable, At that time, after listening to Jiang Beiting's advice, he was ready to compromise and give up the paper-making method, but he felt that he couldn't stop there, so he forced Meng Yun to write an IOU of 500,000 yuan with the threat of death......
Hey, how could Lao Tzu be so bold in the first place?
Looking back now, Chen Xu feels that he admires his original actions.
500,000 yuan, Chen Xu basically didn't have much concept at that time, he only knew that a pottery bowl was a penny, a catty of coarse salt was ten yuan, a horse of burlap was ten yuan, a stone of grain was forty yuan, and a family of three could eat for three months, these are all things that can be accessed in a poor rural area like Xiaohe Village, and six or seven years ago, 500,000 yuan was estimated to be incomplete when Meng Yi sold the house.
Even if Meng Yi is suddenly asked to come out with 500,000 yuan now, it will hurt for more than half a year.
The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, perhaps it is because of his arrogance and unreasonableness at that time, plus various threats and fools, the fledgling Meng Yun is his opponent of a takeaway brother who has accumulated the essence of human civilization for more than 2,000 years, after some coercion and temptation, Meng Yun had to write an IOU of 500,000 yuan in humiliation, and since then he has an endless psychological shadow in the face of Chen Xu, even now, when he sees Chen Xu rolling up his sleeves, Meng Yun will still not ask himself to shiver, and he has almost formed a conditioned reflex.
The road outside the city has already been paved with a flat cement road, and the carriage galloped all the way to the Qinghe Courtyard, Chen Xu told the story of what happened to Meng Yun in Qinghe Town at that time, and only made the three women listen with dull faces.
"The husband was really born with a vision, he was just a township pawn at the beginning, and he was able to rectify Meng Gongzi like that!" Ying Shiyan came back to her senses and praised her husband.
"I didn't expect my brother to be so domineering in Xianyang, but he was beaten by his husband with a blue nose and swollen face and compromised and retreated, and sure enough, his husband was amazing, and after that time, my brother was as obedient as a sudden change of person!" Meng Wan also praised Chen Xu with a smile.
"Hehe, I didn't know he would be so cowardly!" Chen Xu smiled proudly.
Between talking and laughing, in less than half an hour, the carriage could already see the towering water tower of the Qinghe Courtyard in the distance, but it was still half a mile away, and a crackling firecracker sound came from the courtyard, and at the same time, there was the sound of the servants cheering.
"Husband, it seems that Sister Caiying has already given birth!" The water gently pushed the window probe out and took a look and said.
"That's good, that's good, a little faster!"
Chen Xu also pushed the window and kept looking, and at the same time urged the coachman to speed up, and soon the carriage drove to the gate of the courtyard, and met a group of housekeepers and maids who were looking and waiting, and when they saw Chen Xu returning, they happily rushed up together.
"Congratulations to Lord Hou, congratulations to Lord Hou, the fourth lady gave birth to a daughter, mother and daughter are safe!" A group of maids excitedly congratulated.
Uh, Chen Xu's hand pushing the car door paused slightly, then pushed the door open with a bang, nodded with a smile on his face and got out of the car, and then instructed the maid to help Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan get out of the car, and he strode towards Fan Caiying's bedroom in the backyard.
