Chapter 2 Family Matters II

Luo Yujiao gently stroked Zhang Xuan's hair and said, "It's okay." You're already good, I saw too many pregnant women when I was a kid with big bellies when they ran for their lives. After a day's march, the blood in the big beach below was gone, and the children were gone. Do you know how He Hutou gave birth to his mother when she gave birth to him? There was no Langzhong at all, and there was no midwife, there was a war at that time, Uncle He hid her in a wheat stack, and after the battle, the tiger's head had been born, and even the umbilical cord was bitten off.

"And what am I now?"

"Brocade clothes and jade food, everywhere you go, you will be followed by three or five maids, you don't have to look at any work, you can't even touch the bow and arrows. Even if I go back to Nanjing, there are big ships all the way, and I don't get seasick, but I can get to Nanjing in a few days. ”

"What else am I not satisfied with? Don't worry, I'll give you a big fat boy. ”

"Don't worry. You don't have to worry about me on the battlefield. And you take the little girl with you. ”

"You're a big man, you're too rough. There is no woman around to take care of me, I really don't feel at ease, let Xiaoya follow you. ”

This was especially evident in ancient times.

Zhang Xuan understood this more and more, when he led thousands of men and horses, he often set an example and shared weal and woe with the soldiers, so that the whole could be united. But as his officials became bigger and bigger, the more he understood that the role of this set became less and less.

The current Zhang Xuan rarely has access to the lower-level soldiers, except for the guards around him, the lowest-level soldiers he has contacted are at least a sentry commander.

No matter how much he leads by example, the soldiers below will not be able to see it.

Moreover, many generals followed him to fight the world, for what? Isn't it glory and wealth? As a prince, you are still the same as an ordinary soldier, so what should he do with these generals? Many times, his example does not allow the generals below to follow suit, but allows them to do one thing in front of them and one thing after others.

It is as if Emperor Xianfeng advocated frugality. The imperial robes are patched, but does it really correct the extravagance of the court?

No.

But let the officials become two-faced people, one in front and one behind them.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan also had to line up with pomp. His privileges in the army were limited. What rank of officer can enjoy what level of treatment in the war. And Zhang Xuan, as Zheng Guogong and the general of the southern expedition, will naturally enjoy the top privileges, such as carrying maids.

It's just that Zhang Xuan is generally idle.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said: "I listen to you for everything." ”

Zhang Xuan's voice changed, and he said: "Son, listen, you must be filial to you in the future, and your father and I will lay down a big world for you." ”

Without further ado.

Whether Zhang Xuan is about to leave Wuchang and go to the front line. Or considering Luo Yujiao's body, the faster the better.

Not to mention the busyness of the hospital, Zhang Xuan also summoned a person, it was none other than Shen Wandeng.

Now Shen Wandeng, as the guard of Zheng Guogong's mansion, under normal circumstances, he doesn't take care of things much, and he drinks every day to eliminate his worries. After all, Zheng Guofu's guards are all elite soldiers selected by Zhang Xuan from the army, although there are only more than 100 people, but on the battlefield, they dare to fight with the same number of Eight Banner elites, and as guards, it is too big to be useless.

Shen Wandeng has nothing to worry about.

It's just that I still can't let go of the death of the people in Xiping. I'd rather be in the drunken country every day. 、

When Zhang Xuan saw him again, he could already smell the smell of wine on Shen Wandeng's body. For a while, Zhang Xuan felt a little dissatisfied. Is it really appropriate to pin your wife and children on this drunkard?

However, Zhang Xuan quickly dispelled this idea.

He knew Shen Wandeng.

Although Shen Wandeng is crippled, although his mind is decadent. But he is by no means incompetent, not to mention the talent of a general, but when he is a general of 10,000 people, he is still qualified, and he is already a big talent and a little useful as a palace guard. For a while, Zhang Xuan couldn't find a more qualified and reassuring general than Shen Wandeng.

"Brother Shen, today I asked Brother Shen to escort my wife and children to Nanjing, and I asked Brother Shen to take more pain."

Shen Wandeng just said with one word: "Okay." ”

Shen Wandeng was called a hero of Runing, not because of how powerful his martial arts were, but because he acted in the style of an ancient chivalrous man, since he agreed, he would definitely be able to do a good job.

"I can trust Brother Shen in this matter. However, there is one thing, please take care of Brother Shen. ”

"Say." Shen Wandeng said.

Zhang Xuan said: "If there is a case when I give birth, I have a warrant here, and I ask Brother Shen to issue it on my behalf." ”

Immediately, Zhang Xuan took out a letter that was not painted and handed it to Shen Wandeng.

Shen Wandeng opened it and took a look, but saw that there were only two words on it: "Baoda." ”

Although Zhang Xuan didn't want to think about it, the reality made Zhang Xuan have to think that having a child in this era is to pass the ghost gate. Anything can happen. It won't exist because Zhang Xuan doesn't think about it. So Zhang Xuan also made preparations in advance.

He must keep Luo Yujiao.

Don't care what Luo Yujiao thinks.

As a person in later generations, he doesn't take his children too seriously. After all, I met the Dink family. And in this era, the constraints on men are too light, even if Luo Yujiao can't give him a child, there are a lot of women who can give birth to a child for him.

As long as Zhang Xuan opened his mouth.

But just give birth to a few concubines and raise them under Luo Yujiao's knees.

But the person who can share weal and woe with him and stay with him for a lifetime is Luo Yujiao.

So I'm sorry, even though he likes this unborn child, but if he really has to make a choice, this choice is this. So he refused to let Luo Yujiao know. He estimated that Luo Yujiao might not be willing. If it went well, he would rather it hadn't happened. He did not write this warrant.

And Shen Wandeng is also a person who can keep secrets.

"Okay." Shen Wandeng said.

Zhang Xuan said, "Thank you, Brother Shen. ”

The preparation was quick, but it took only a day or two. was ready, and Zhou Fuchen specially mobilized five warships to escort Luo Yujiao. On the pier, Zhang Xuan watched Luo Yujiao get on the boat. Then he disappeared far into the Yangtze River, and when he looked far away, he knew that he couldn't see it. Only then did he suddenly say, "Let's go too." ”

The army is almost ready.

Just as Zhang Xuan was about to preside over the army, the Xia army made such a big move, which also made Nanming extremely nervous, and the two sides crossed their bows and horses on the border, and the scouts began to fight intensively. The war was about to break out, and it was difficult for Zhang Xuan to judge for a while, whether he was the first to shoot or Nanming.

So he couldn't delay any longer in Wuchang.

sent Luo Yujiao away, and Zhang Xuan also cleaned up his mood. Put all the rest of your mind aside. Devoted to the war.

Luo Yujiao looked at the railing on the boat, the turtles and snakes on both sides of the river circled, and under the river, the boat was moving fast, and Zhang Xuan was soon out of sight.

"Princess, the wind is strong on the ship, the princess is pregnant with a son, if you are infected with the wind and cold but it is not good, it is better to go into the cabin and rest quickly." Aunt Tian said.

After so many years, Aunt Tian's figure is still so strong, but she has aged a lot, after all, the years are not forgiving. She also has no armor, and now it seems that she can hardly see the majesty of Aunt Tian on the battlefield, and it seems that she is just an ordinary old woman.

Luo Yujiao said: "Auntie knows. Her voice suddenly lowered, and she said, "I don't know what's wrong, I suddenly feel that it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen Zhang Lang." ”

"Phew, bah, bah." Aunt Tian said: "At most, half a year and a year, Guogong will return to Beijing." Even if Guogong can't go back to Beijing, the child is older, and the girl will not be able to go to see it for a long time, and the girl should not say unlucky things. ”

Luo Yujiao smiled slightly and said, "I hope so." As he spoke, he was helped into the cabin by Aunt Tian.

For a while, on the deck, only the river breeze blew lonely.

I don't know if Luo Yujiao's hunch is accurate or not. When Luo Yujiao and Zhang Xuan met again, it was not too long in time, but it felt very different for everyone, as if an era had passed, so long that the sky fell apart, and it was too long for the dynasty to change. It is easy to grow old for a long time.

Of course, that's another story.
