Chapter 67: Happy to be a father
In June, everything was ready, and Yang Xue gave birth to Li Zhonghua's first child at this time, a big fat boy.
Li Zhonghua, who liked to be a father at the age of seventeen, was very happy and named his son Yang Zaixing, which means that the Yang family will prosper again.
Yang Xue saw that Li Zhonghua did not hesitate at all, so she let her eldest son follow her surname Yang, and she was both relieved and felt a little sorry for her father-in-law.
After his son Yang Zaixing is full moon, Li Zhonghua will lead the team to leave Chang'an, and Yang Xue's mother and son will definitely stay in Chang'an, not only because Yang Xue has just given birth to a child and it is inconvenient to go to Songzhou on the road, but also because the court is not at ease, Li Zhonghua will take his wife and children away.
If there is no worry to contain him, if he betrays the Tang Dynasty and surrenders to Tubo, the court will have nothing to do with him.
Although many times, wives and children can't coerce each other, and they will still defect when they should defect, but it is not excluded that it still has some effect.
Li Zhonghua wanted to accompany Yang Xue as much as possible, but Yang Xue turned him away and asked him to spend the night in other sisters' rooms, giving rain and dew, so as to spread the branches and leaves of the Li family as soon as possible.
Li Zhonghua felt very depressed, and sat alone in the study and drank alcohol.
Datang Ribao already has an editor-in-chief, and in full accordance with Li Zhonghua's requirements, he reviews news articles and strictly controls sensitive texts related to government affairs.
The advertising effect of Datang Daily is obvious to all, and many businessmen find Datang Daily every day and spend a lot of money just to publish an advertisement in a conspicuous position in Datang Daily.
At present, Datang Daily has gotten rid of the loss-making situation and has begun to make a profit.
Although the profit cannot be compared with other industries under Li Zhonghua's name, it is much stronger than at the beginning, when it has been losing money.
The banknotes issued by the Bank of China are becoming more and more popular, and a large number of copper coins are stored in the vault.
Originally, it was planned to keep it, and when the Datang Central Bank was established and the Datang Bao seconds were issued, it would be used to exchange Datang treasure banknotes with the Datang Central Bank, but now it can be transported to Songzhou to develop the local economy and be used as military spending.
With the emergence of sweet glycerin, as soon as the Chinese fruit wine was put on the market, it was loved by the majority of women, among which there were not many men, who also fell in love with the Chinese fruit wine, and even sighed that the taste of the Chinese fruit wine was not worse than that of the wine of the Western Regions.
The key is the price, compared to the expensive Western Regions wine, Chinese fruit wine is really much more affordable.
As for the price of new Chinese liquor, it has always been firm, and there is no room for price reduction, and the market is often in short supply and sold out.
The introduction of soap and soap has made washing clothes and bathing very simple, especially after taking a bath with soap, when talking to people, there is always a floral fragrance of soap on the body, which makes people smell it is a pleasure.
Perfume, on the other hand, is a luxury that ordinary people simply cannot afford.
In aristocratic circles, there is a more high-end perfume, known as flower water, in the hot summer evening, pour a few drops of flower water, mixed with the water used for bathing, after bathing, the whole body is so refreshing that even mosquitoes will not bite you.
In the aristocratic circle, a small bottle of toilet water was sold for a sky-high price of ten yuan a bottle.
This price can allow a family of five to live a happy and well-off life for a year, but aristocratic women still flock to it and become a trend.
"Sir! Why haven't you gone back to your room to rest? Xu Xiaolan, who couldn't sleep, saw that the light was still on in the master's study, and after walking into the study, she saw Li Zhonghua drinking alone.
"It's Aunt Lan! Come, drink with me. Li Zhonghua said a little drunk.
"Sir! Can you stop calling Aunt Lan in the future? Xu Xiaolan said very distressedly.
Xu Xiaolan has said it several times, but Li Zhonghua is still used to calling her Aunt Lan, which makes Xu Xiaolan very distressed.
Even Yang Xue has changed her name, no longer calling her Aunt Lan, but Xiaolan.
It stands to reason that even if Yang Xue doesn't call her Aunt Lan, she should call Sister Lan. But Yang Xue is Li Zhonghua's wife, if Xu Xiaolan wants to be Li Zhonghua's concubine, no matter how old Xu Xiaolan is, she must call Yang Xue her eldest sister.
"It's called getting used to it, the two of us haven't drunk alone for a long time, remember the first time we drank, we got drunk?" Li Zhonghua said with a smile.
"Sir! Are you already drunk, and you have started to talk about alcohol, why do you think about the first time we drank for no reason? ”
Thinking of the last time the two of them got drunk, they slept in the same bed, was held in Li Zhonghua's arms, and took advantage of the scene, Xu Xiaolan lowered her head in shame and didn't dare to look at Li Zhonghua.
Looking back now, the feeling of being held in my grandfather's arms is really comfortable, even if the master's hands are very restless in my body, I can't make myself feel disgusted.
The two sat down and drank some more wine, Li Zhonghua couldn't control his behavior anymore, he hugged Xu Xiaolan in his arms and said, "Do you remember your original promise?" ”
"Sir! What is the promise? "Xu Xiaolan really doesn't remember.
"You said that as long as I am with your young lady, you are also mine, let me take what I want, what? Did you forget so quickly? ”
Li Zhonghua looked at Xu Xiaolan, who was thinly dressed, smelled the fragrance after she bathed in flower water, and the charm of a mature woman, tempted him, lowered his head, and kissed her little mouth.
This night was the happiest night that Xu Xiaolan had lived for nearly 30 years, and she finally experienced what it was like to be a woman.
endured the discomfort of the first daughter, let the beloved man take what he wanted, and only had happiness and satisfaction in his heart, without any complaints.
The next morning, Yang Xue, who had already come over, noticed the subtle changes in Xu Xiaolan, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Should you change your words now?" ”
"Miss! What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Xu Xiaolan is like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws, very shy and embarrassed.
"I really want to hear you call me eldest sister, don't you deny it, you have been taken down by the master."
"How do you know?" Xu Xiaolan blurted out in shock, but she didn't expect that she had betrayed herself.
However, seeing Yang Xue's smiling and silent appearance, Xu Xiaolan immediately realized what mistake she had made.
After thinking twice, in addition to Yang Xue's mother and son staying in Chang'an, Wu Zetian also stayed to assist Yang Xue and manage all the industries belonging to Li Zhonghua.
At the same time, Xu Xiaolan, Chen Yueru, Huang Qiuyi, Ma Qiushuang, Liu Shumin, and Zhao Yuanyuan remained.
Luo Feiyan, Xie Chunlan, Xie Dongmei, Zhang Ping, Huang Yanfang, followed Li Zhonghua to Songzhou to take up his post.
Although they all want to follow Li Zhonghua to Songzhou together, since Li Zhonghua has made arrangements, they can't quarrel anymore, and someone must stay in Chang'an and take care of Chang'an's business, which is also a matter of no choice.
That night, when Li Zhonghua was in Yang Xue's room, although Yang Xue knew that Li Zhonghua was about to leave her, and she didn't know when she would meet again, she was very reluctant, but she still said.
"Sir! Sisters who stay in Chang'an, you have to take time to spend more time with them these days, and if you haven't had sex with them, you have to take advantage of these days to take them down, women, only if they become the real women of the master, are the most reliable. ”
"This, Yuanhua is still too young." Li Zhonghua said embarrassedly.
"Sister Yuanfang is already fourteen years old, where is she still young, and her power is second only to me, she is very valued by the master, the master must take her down as soon as possible, only let him become the real woman of the lord as soon as possible, and the concubine can give her power.
Otherwise, as soon as the master leaves Chang'an, the concubine will not only not give her power, but will take back her power as much as possible. Yang Xue said very seriously.
Li Zhonghua also understands this truth very well, but Wu Zetian is not yet fourteen years old, and he really can't do it, as a person who grew up in the next generation, the education he has received makes him attack a girl who is not yet fourteen years old, and he really has a sense of crime.
However, in Yang Xue's concept, many people have been married at the age of twelve or thirteen, not to mention far away, such as today's Empress Changsun and Princess Changle, they were all married when they were thirteen years old.
In this way, Wu Zetian, who is nearly fourteen years old, is indeed really not small.
