Chapter Twenty-Nine: Returning Home
The journey back to Xudu was very smooth, and the only thing that Yuan Yun cared about was that Cai Wenji never mentioned Diao Chan, and she was unwilling to reveal even a little bit of tone.
When sending Diao Chan to the big ship back to Beihai, the senior sister did the same, she didn't say a word about anything about Cai Wenji, and Yuan Yun was completely confused, but he felt that it was very inappropriate to take the initiative to ask, so he also chose to be silent, just looking at the expressions of the two women, he was much more cheerful, and he was a lot more relieved.
I haven't seen Xudu for more than a year, and it has become much more lively here, and many businessmen by land will come to Xudu to take a turn while going to Luoyang, after all, the prosperity here is far greater than that of Luoyang, which has just been rebuilt.
Now the Yueyun Building and the Red Sleeve Building have undergone an expansion, and the prostitutes in the building are even more numerous, so that after the nobles from all parties come to Xudu, the first choice is to move into these two green buildings to live, and after enjoying enough wind and moon, they will continue on the road.
Yuan Yun felt very strange about himself using Qinglou to measure whether a city is developed or not, but he soon laughed again, feudal society is like this, whether a city is prosperous or not, you can guess it by looking at the prostitutes and Qinglou in the city, because places without money can't afford to support these women.
Seeing the smile on the corner of Yuan Yun's mouth, Cai Wenji quipped with some curiosity: "Does Yuan Lang also want to go to these green buildings to have a while?" ”
Yuan Yun shuddered instantly, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Wen Ji is wrong, I just look at the bustling streets here, so I am happy, but I don't have any intention of visiting the Qinglou, and you Langjun and my Qinglou luck are simply terrible, go to a bad luck once, how dare I make a mistake." ”
Cai Wenji covered her mouth and chuckled, then gently lifted the corner of the curtain with her jade hand, and after admiring it for a while, she continued: "It is indeed much more prosperous than when we left, in fact, many of this is because of the workshop in Luoyang, as well as the new city in the east of Xudu, which can be regarded as Yuan Lang's merits." ”
Yuan Yun lay down comfortably on Cai Wenji's lap, and then stuffed a plum into his mouth, and then said vaguely: "I don't care if I have merit or not, the important thing is that our family must live well." ”
Cai Wenji was only a little panicked about Yuan Yun lying directly on her lap, but now she was in the private space of the husband and wife in the carriage, so she smiled and it was okay, but touched Yuan Yun's hair and said: "The concubine has been by Yuan Lang's side for more than a year this time, and she is not pregnant, which makes the concubine very anxious. ”
Yuan Yun frowned and said, "Mr. Hua Tuo is not a gynecologist, how can I know this, if I want to ask you, it is better to ask you Langjun and me." ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Yun immediately stopped, in fact, Cai Wenji was not pregnant with her own child, the main reason was that he was too busy, and the two of them didn't have much time to have sex.
And Yuan Yun probably remembers that every time he has the opportunity to have sex, it is basically Cai Wenji's safe period, if he can still get pregnant, it proves that his Yuan Yun's fertility is very good, but the facts are very slap in the face, and now it proves that he is just an ordinary person.
Cai Wenji touched her belly, and sighed for a long time: "If I can give birth to a son for Yuan Lang, the concubine body will also have an explanation, but now there is no movement at all, no wonder the Qianwei family will say that the concubine body is a disaster." ”
Yuan Yun snorted and immediately stood up, Cai Wenji has never been a targetless person, suddenly mentioning this matter at this moment, something must have happened, remembering that she was indeed promised to Wei Zhongdao of the Wei family before, who knew that the goods didn't have this life, and she hiccups before she even saw the bride.
In this way, if the Wei family can still say good things, there will be ghosts, these big families have a problem, that is, there will be absolutely no mistakes in their own clan, but all mistakes are the fault of others, so Wei Zhongdao died of excitement This kind of shameful thing, they will definitely not admit it, and will only take Cai Wenji to do it.
After a moment of silence, Yuan Yun smiled and said, "I should go to the Wei family to visit one day, now that Wen Ji is my wife, if they talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will definitely make them a dilemma of life and death." ”
Cai Wenji was taken aback, and hurriedly shook her hand and said: "Yuan Lang must not mess around, those are all adult past, and besides, the concubine did not marry the Wei family, so she can accompany Yuan Lang, and she should be grateful." ”
Yuan Yun saw Cai Wenji's face was straight, and he couldn't say anything, but his careful eye problem was now very serious, and he thought about why he had to ask for an explanation, and it seemed that he had to hide it.
The Wei family is now no longer as brave as Wei Qing was back then, but the whole clan has become weak scholars, not to mention the generals who went to the battlefield, even if they are martial artists, they have completely become a sour Confucian family.
Let's go back and let Shi Shen go for a walk, send someone from the military to fight an outpost first, and then kill the generals themselves, lest these sour people of the Wei family always get some rumors out if they are fine.
However, this excuse is more troublesome, because the Wei family and the nobles get along very well, and if they make up a reason, it will definitely rebound greatly, so you need to be careful and careful.
Cai Wenji was a little worried about Yuan Yunhu, so she quickly diverted the topic and said: "Yiyi is about to give birth, Yuan Lang should not always go out recently, accompany her more, and Qinghe'er also misses it tightly, our eldest son Yuan Qing is also about to turn old, these people all need Yuan Lang to accompany them, this time I will go home as much as possible at home and go out to hang out less." ”
When Yuan Yun heard his son Yuan Qing, he immediately laughed, he hadn't seen him for almost a year, and now it was false to say that he didn't want to miss him, so he immediately sat up straight, and then urged Xiao Liu to drive the frame faster.
The welcome ceremony of the Yuan Mansion was very long, all the servants came to the front yard, and then carried the things that Yuan Yun brought back from Luoyang, the eldest sister Feng Xuan was naturally the host, and under her greeting, everyone was busy in an orderly manner.
It wasn't until Yuan Yun crossed the gate of Yuan's Mansion that the family greeted him, naturally they were greeted by a lot of cold and warmth, and what Yuan Yun cared about the most was Cao Qinghe, who was holding his son, and Liu Yiyi, who was holding a big belly and constantly blinking.
The smell of home was so familiar, which made Yuan Yun's whole person relaxed, and as for the guests who came to visit the house, they were all handed over to the housekeeper Zhang Xiang to greet him, and brothers like Cao Ang all chose to disappear today very sensibly.
Back in his study, the whole family was crowded into this warm big room, looking at the smiles of several wives, and then holding the son in his arms, I was so happy that I didn't want it.
But there are so many annoying people, such as Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, Cao Chong, who don't plan to go home yet, and even Cao Jie, who rushed to the scene when he heard the news, these villains also rubbed into the study at the moment, and kept staring at Yuan Qing.
Dare to pinch my son's handsome little face, damn, it's so tender that you can do it, uncle, you have to pull your ears too, who provokes whom, these little bastards are simply lawless and crazy.
Yuan Yun frowned, and then summoned Cao Zhuang in the courtyard, and in a moment's effort, he drove all the little bastards back to Cao Mansion, only Cao Jie was alive and dead in Cao Qinghe's arms, and he refused to move, so he had no choice but to stay.
The dinner party is really only attended by his own family this time, a huge round table is full of people, and there are only two men in the banquet, Yuan Yun and Deng Ai, but this does not affect everyone's appetite, this era is like this, if you change to another family, I am afraid that just the wife and concubine will have to sit in the courtyard.
After a meal, I ate for two hours, and after the eldest sister and second sister retired, Cai Wenji also went out, and by the way, Cao Jie, who was always sticking to Yuan Yun, was also taken away.
When only Cao Qinghe and Liu Yiyi were left in the study, everything seemed a lot quieter, touching Liu Yiyi's belly, and then looking at the son who was already asleep in Cao Qinghe's arms, Yuan Yun smiled and couldn't see his teeth.
In the end, even Cao Qinghe retreated, and now only Liu Yiyi was left, and at this time, the goblin in front of him began to make trouble, hiding in Yuan Yun's arms, constantly holding his head against Yuan Yun, and even making a cat-like sound in his mouth.
"What is this for? If you still have a big belly, you can't control it? Yuan Yun pretended to be angry and slapped Liu Yiyi's buttocks, but he didn't dare to touch his stomach, it was his own baby.
Liu Yiyi was not angry, rolled her eyes and said: "The concubine is missing you, you have to say so dirty, if the son in the belly listens to it, he will definitely scold you for being a father who is not serious." ”
Yuan Yun frowned, snorted before saying, "How can my daughter scold Lao Tzu, I will buy her a lot of beautiful clothes in the future, and she will definitely dress up in the country......"
"Bah, the concubine is carrying a son, not a daughter, Yuan Lang, do you believe in the concubine." After speaking, Liu Yiyi arched her big belly forward, and said, "Look at how big this belly is, it must be a kid." ”
Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, for fear that Liu Yiyi would hurt the child with such a big move, so he quickly hugged him in his arms, and then said: "It doesn't matter if he is a boy or a girl, they are all my children anyway, and I like them all." ”
Liu Yiyi wrinkled her beautiful nose, and said unhappily: "It must be a boy, our family is too short of men, how can Qing'er alone, such a big family property, it must be taken care of by a few more brothers, otherwise it will definitely be bullied, and ......"
Yuan Yun had already put his head on Liu Yiyi's stomach at the moment, listening to the complaint-to-be mother, he didn't feel embarrassed, after all, he hadn't seen him for so long, and his pregnant wife didn't accompany him, so he really owed too much.
Liu Yiyi watched her husband lying on her lap, and then repeatedly touched her big belly, and immediately looked a little more proud, and then began to chatter like a machine gun, it was just endless, and soon she found out that Yuan Yun was asleep like this.
Looking at her husband's tired face, Liu Yiyi sighed lightly, and then carefully put Yuan Yun's head on the pillow and covered it with a futon.
At this time, I saw that Yuan Yun's brows were still tightly wrinkled, and I couldn't help but feel sour, and immediately rolled out a few tears, how hard her husband was, as a person who often ran business outside, she knew best, and not only hard, I heard that when Anding returned from the First World War, she almost died on the road.
This made Liu Yiyi feel very distressed, carefully blew out the oil lamp, and then gently hugged Yuan Yun's arm in his arms, and fell asleep in a daze.
On the morning of the second day, Yuan Yun got up very early, and after Qing'er waited for the wash, he instantly felt energetic, although he was lazy and wanted to sleep very much, but when he thought of the war that was about to break out, he remembered it very much.
There are still a lot of things to do today, Cao Cao, the old man, gave special preferential treatment, and didn't let him rush to report immediately, he is already a good person among good people, but he can't really be at home, so he must go to Cao Ang to take a turn first, first find out the current situation of Xu Du, and then go to see Cao Cao immediately.
instructed Xiao Liu to prepare a frame, and the group quickly went out of the gate of Yuan's mansion, but when they arrived at the door, they saw a frame blocking the way, Yuan Yun was about to lose his temper, but he saw a person walking on the opposite side, it was Cao Hong, the city lord of Wancheng.
