Chapter 428: Congratulations, Thanks

Giving birth to children has always been the most difficult hurdle for women to overcome in these years, so the Du family, who had been happy for a while because of the gift of their ancestors during the day, panicked that night because of the Zhang family's report. Although it is not so much that they have not messed up their duties, there are those who say words and prayers in their mouths, those who walk absentmindedly, and those who do things wrong...... Even Qiu, who has always been steady, went back and forth in the house after eating dinner unwillingly, and finally Du Zhen, who was really dizzy by her, had to sigh.

"Didn't Doctor Feng say a long time ago that Wan'er would be fine if she was strong. Although he happened to go to the outskirts of the city to look for medicinal herbs, Xiao Wu was still there, and besides, the Zhang family's stable wife had already prepared it. ”

Although she is obedient to her husband on weekdays, Qiu Shi stopped at this time, but her face was disgusted: "What is this, you are a big man and you don't know the difficulty, I think when I gave birth to a child, it wasn't ......" She paused, didn't mention the danger at that time, but glanced at Du Zhen again, she couldn't help but be angry and funny, "Master, you even took the book down, and you came to persuade me at this time!" ”

When Qiu said this, Du Zhen looked down, and sure enough, he found that the book in his hand was upside down. Shaking his head and sighing with a wry smile, he casually put the book on the high table next to him, but gently rubbed his temples on both sides with his right hand.

Originally, he planned to succeed one of his nephews as a son, but it seems that those people are unsuccessful, and if they want to succeed someone else's newborn child, it is also forcing people to separate their flesh and blood, where should it be done by a scholar? So after thinking about it earlier, he simply dismissed the idea. Humanity is a son-in-law is a half-son, and a student is also a half-son, so together, Zhang Yue is almost the same as his son, why bother with a succession?

Besides, soon after the birth of his daughter, he left his hometown to study the world, but he didn't spend much time by her side, but fortunately, his wife was able to not only raise her as an adult, but also taught her very well, if there is a daughter, it doesn't matter if there is a son or not.

Husband and wife, you look at me, but neither of you speak. Seeing that it was getting late, Qiu finally recovered from his worries about his daughter, and thought that Du Zhen would go to court early tomorrow morning, so she hurriedly persuaded him to rest, but in exchange for shaking his head.

"There is such a thing in my heart, even if I go to bed, I can't sleep well. Wait, it's not too late. ”

It was more than an hour to wait, and when Qiu's feet were so sore that he had no choice but to sit down, the bamboo curtain in front of the main house was suddenly slammed open, and it was a middle-aged servant woman who came in. She didn't have time to take a breath and hurriedly said: "The old lady is so happy, the young lady gave birth to a son safely, and the Zhang family sent someone to report the news at this time!" ”

"Amitabha, Sanqing Daozun, God bless!"

Hearing that his wife had recited all the gods and Buddhas in one breath, Du Zhen didn't care about it, and asked the servant woman a few more questions. Knowing that she was in too much of a hurry just now, she actually left the person sent by the Zhang family to report the news outside, and he hurriedly ordered someone to be invited in. Not long after, the mother who reported the news came into the house, but she was also sharp-tongued, bowed her knees and said with a smile: "The old man and the wife of the in-laws, the young grandmother gave birth to a little son at a moment, and now the mother and son are safe, and the whole family is making trouble." Therefore, although the curfew was over, the old lady and the young master hurriedly ordered the slave and maid to take the quotation and come to report the news, so that the two of you can sleep well at night. The old lady also said that she would wash three days later, and asked her in-laws to come. ”

Qiu's face was full of joy, and he agreed to the next bite, and hurriedly ordered someone to get the happy seal. When she sent people away, she saw Du Zhen's smile for a long time, she felt even more relieved, and folded her palms again and prayed silently - not only for her daughter and son-in-law, but also for her grandson whom she had not yet met.

Zhang Yue, who was so happy with his son, was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, but it was already dawn when he was about to fall asleep in a daze. He had to go to the court meeting early in the morning, so even though he was extremely sleepy, he hurried out of the house after meeting breakfast in three or two. When he entered the palace at Chang'an Gate, he happened to meet Du Zhen, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but after seeing him, he found that his old father-in-law was also bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not slept well. Even so, Du Zhen still beat him.

"In the future, you will be a real adult, but my son sees you as an example, you must remember to think twice before acting."

Yang Rong happened to walk by at this time, and when Leng Buding heard this, he couldn't help but stop, and laughed after being slightly stunned: "I also think about how Brother Yishan suddenly taught his son-in-law here early in the morning, it turned out that Brother Yishan was happy to have a noble son, and Brother Yishan added a grandson, congratulations!" When I go back, I will send my family to send congratulatory gifts, but this can't be left behind! ”

His smile was heard by everyone else who walked by. Yang Shiqi and Du Zhen were already old friends, and at this time, they had to step forward and congratulate them with a smile, and Jin Youzi and several Shangshu of the six departments also smiled and expressed their joy. So, when waiting for the court in the six straight rooms, even Fang Bin, the secretary of the military department, even called Zhang Yue to ask a few words. After the court meeting, everyone dispersed, Zhang Yue returned to the yamen of the military department with the crowd, and as soon as he entered the division's room, several subordinate officials came forward to congratulate him, which made him very suspicious of how the news spread.

"Our military headquarters is so close to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, someone has already passed the news!"

Wan Shijie said with a smile, Cui Fanzhi, an outsider, and another principal nodded, and several unpopular scribes stepped forward to salute and say hello, but as a result, the few happy seals that Zhang Yue brought with him all dispersed. Since the Arsenal Division had taken advantage of his free time to take care of all the affairs that were not too urgent, and now he was in a hurry, so this afternoon was naturally on time to disperse on time. Zhang Yue, who always stays for a while on weekdays, walked very fast this time, and as a result, several officials who fell behind had to talk about it, and Cui Fanzhi even joked about the Wanshi Festival.

"Now that Master Xiao Zhang even has a child, your family is not in a hurry?"

"My home?" Wan Shijie smiled indifferently, and then said casually, "Even if they are in a hurry, they can't do anything, marriage is not a child's play, I am only twenty-two now, and it is not too late to wait for another two years." ”

Cui Fanzhi and Wanshijie are just general friends, and they will not say much if they ask casually. And Wan Shijie got on the horse and went straight home to the other side, but his face did not have the indifferent smile on his face. Even for friends like Zhang Yue and Xia Ji, he rarely talks about family matters, and he goes over whenever others ask. Over time, Zhang Yue was clever and didn't ask anymore, and Xia Ji also kept his mouth shut. But just because others don't ask doesn't mean he really doesn't want to.

Wanjia generations are single, he was fourteen years old in the Xiucai, originally thought that he could win fame and honor his parents in the future, but just three months after he won the Xiucai, his parents were infected with the epidemic and passed away, those few acres of thin fields just supported him to complete the three-year filial piety examination. Since then, he has left his hometown to study the world, and he has seen a complete picture of good and evil, although he has been gifted by the imperial court after leaving office, but he has not returned to his hometown for five years.

Absentmindedly turning a few streets, Wan Shijie suddenly patted his head: "What do you do to envy other people's blessings, I want to use the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, those days have already passed, what hurdle can not be passed now?" ”

Zhang Yue didn't know that his good news actually made the open-minded Wanshijie feel like this. When he turned into Wu'anhou Hutong, he saw a few carriages parked in front of his house from a distance, and he knew in his heart that most of them were trusted relatives and friends who came to congratulate him. Sure enough, entering through the west corner gate, the porter reported a series of names. Because most of the heads of each family are going to the court council, almost all the people who come to give gifts are female dependents, and those who have not left at this time are their own relatives.

"Now the old lady in the north courtyard is still in the room of the British duchess, as well as our eldest lady and second lady. Because our family only sent people to each house in the morning to report the good news, they all came in the afternoon after avoiding the first group of guests. Oh, the little one almost forgot, Mrs. Du came early in the morning, and after visiting the third young grandmother, she was always accompanied by the third wife, and she had just left before. ”

Zhang Yue nodded and went straight back to his west courtyard, and went to the west wing without taking off his coat. Although Du Juan did not suffer much during childbirth, blood loss was still unavoidable, so her face was sallow. He talked with him, teased his tiger-headed son, and wanted to rely on it anymore but was still driven away by Xiao Wu, so he changed his clothes and rushed to meet the guest.

Because Meng Jun went to Xuanfu and wanted to keep filial piety for Meng Xian, Zhang Qing, who was now alone in the empty house, looked a little thin, but Zhang Yi was a lot richer after getting married. One of the two sisters is a moon-white satin shirt and a white silk skirt, and the other is a lychee red grape pattern gown-red skirt, one is plain and the other is bright, which is very different from before. Seeing Zhang Yue coming in, the two of them naturally didn't sit like Mrs. Wang, and quickly stood up. After the group saluted, Zhang Yue was congratulated by everyone again and again, and his face was naturally full of joy.

Although there was already a great-grandson and a great-granddaughter in the past, Du Juan's son was the first great-grandson to be born after all, and the Gu family was naturally overjoyed, and he didn't know how many things he sent to the West Courtyard in the morning. At this time, she was also full of joy when she spoke to Mrs. Wang and others, and finally ordered everyone to come over to watch the ceremony when they were washed, and everyone agreed in unison.

A large group of people laughed and talked in the room, seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Wang got up to say goodbye, Zhang Qing and Zhang Yi also hurriedly stood up together, and Gu hurriedly ordered Zhang Yue to go out to see him off. Since Mrs. Wang is a close relative of the elders in the family, Zhang Yue sent her to Dongjiaomen, and after sending her to the car first, he turned around and wanted to talk to Zhang Qing and Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi, who was the most shy and quiet in the past, suddenly saluted him and Zhang Qing.

"Big sister, third brother, I haven't had a chance to talk to you alone just now. I'm doing well now, but I can have today thanks to you, although my family said thank you, but all I can say is thank you. ”
