The two lingered until late at night, although Zhu Hui was reluctant to Wu Lian, but considering that Wang Chong and the others would definitely be worried, he hurriedly dressed and prepared to leave here.

At this time, Wu Lian hugged Zhu Hui tightly and said affectionately: "Childe, don't dislike me, the slave family will follow Childe to be a cow and a horse in the future, I will admit it in this life, if you want to leave, I, I ......"

"Lian'er, tomorrow morning, I will definitely come back to see you." Zhu Hui said, pushing Wu Lian's hands away.

"I'm so scared, I'm afraid that the people of the Cai family will come here, I'm afraid that the government will come to arrest me, and I'm even more afraid that Cai Dezhong's lonely soul will entangle, since God has given us such a fate, let you and I meet in Pingshui, I believe that Gongzi is also a trustworthy person, early tomorrow morning, if Gongzi doesn't come, the slave family doesn't know what will happen, if Gongzi comes again tomorrow night, maybe Lian'er has been hung on the three-foot white silk on the beam of the house......"

Zhu Hui was deeply moved, held Wu Lian's cheeks with both hands, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Lian'er, I'm really sorry. My experience is also very bizarre, will we be able to be together in the future? It's also hard to say. I don't want to lie to you, because of my meritorious service in assisting Jinyiwei to suppress bandits overseas, Beizhen Fusi just gave me a meritorious name, and now, I am also the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei Zhengqipin, because of my important business, I have to go, Lian'er, you can rest assured, I Zhu is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, and I will definitely consider our future. ”

Wu Lian nodded silently, crying and said: "I don't want to follow Gongzi to be rich and rich, I just hope to be a maid by Gongzi's side, I heard you say, your uncle bought my brother's house, and when you go back to Nanjing, please take Gongzi with the slave family, Lian'er wants to meet Sister Yue'er." ”

At this time, Zhu Hui had already dressed, got out of bed and replied, "Maybe I will go back to Nanjing tomorrow, and I will definitely bring you with me, please rest assured." Be alone tonight, and I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning. ”

So, Wu Lian held Zhu Hui's hand tightly and accompanied him to the outside of the hospital, and the two said goodbye reluctantly.

When Zhu Hui returned to Wang Chong's house, it was already late at night. Guo Yi came out to open the door, she thought they were all back, and when she saw that there was only Zhu Hui, she was inevitably a little disappointed.

The two maids also came out, and one of them said, "This is the New Year, you all patronize yourself and go out to play, and the pregnant woman in the family is about to give birth, and no one cares." Hmph, it seems that it's better for us countrymen, at least the men in the family won't be like this. ”

Noticing Guo Yi's painful expression, Zhu Hui asked, "Sister Yi'er, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Guo Yi covered his stomach and slowly moved into the house, Zhu Hui couldn't stand it, but he couldn't help, and said to the two maids: "Two sisters, please come and help." So, they stepped forward together to help Guo Yi back to the bedroom.

I saw Guo Yi lying on the bed, his eyes closed, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and a maid asked, "Madam, do you count your life?" What exactly is the date of delivery? ”

Guo Yi opened his eyes slightly, and replied weakly: "It should be around the tenth day of the first month." ”

The other maid lay on her belly, listened quietly for a while, and cried out in amazement, "Oh, congratulations, Madame, you are going to give birth today." ”

Zhu Hui outside the door was taken aback, where to find Wang Chong and Xu Ling'er, he didn't know now, and there was no midwife by his side, so he hurriedly asked, "How is this good?" ”

"Hui'er, go outside and find a midwife." Guo Yi replied.

Zhu Hui thought to himself that for this Chinese New Year, where to find a midwife? What's more, I didn't know my life well, so I hesitated outside the door for a while, and suddenly heard the two maids arguing again, pushed the door and asked, "May I ask the two sisters, will you deliver the baby?" ”

The two maids were arguing over this matter, perhaps they both realized that if they couldn't find the midwife, Guo Yi might be in danger, and after listening to Zhu Hui's question, someone replied: "Also, where to find the midwife for this New Year?" I'll try it, when my mother gave birth to my brother the year before last, there was no one in the family, and I delivered the baby, but it was really scary, if there was anything wrong, you don't blame me, blame me......"

At this time, Guo Yi was very sober and knew that there was no way to do it, so he forced a smile and said, "Thank you, I won't blame you." ”

The two maids sent Zhu Hui away and began to prepare for the delivery, at this moment, Zhu Hui, who had a serious expression, stood outside the door and paced, and raised his heart to his throat......

Guo Yi's painful screams were heard in the house from time to time, and sometimes he heard the two maids talking non-stop in their hometown, Zhu Hui couldn't understand it, so he could only silently pray for the safety of the mother and son, hoping that Wang Chong and Xu Ling'er would come back quickly......

A maid came out and asked Zhu Hui to boil some eggs, boil a pot of boiling water, and prepare brown sugar, so he hurriedly ran into the kitchen to work, and just when a pot of hot water was boiling, a baby's cry came......

Zhu Hui immediately threw down the scoop in his hand, ran out and asked loudly, "Sister?" Is it a boy or a girl? ”

"Thank God, mother and son are safe, congratulations to General Wang for having a noble son, Zhu Gongzi, you go find a scale, come and weigh this fat boy." As she spoke, a maid lifted the curtain of the door.

Another maid held the baby in her arms and said with a smile: "I was scared to death just now, I didn't expect this little thing to be so big, hehe, Madam and this baby are both fateful people......

Knowing that Guo Yi's mother and son were safe, Zhu Hui was secretly glad in his heart, if there were no two maids, I don't know what chaos would happen? So, he replied with a smile: "Thank you two sisters, General Wang and Sister Yi'er will repay you well." ”

"You're going to say something useless, what about the boiling water we want?" The maid standing at the door asked.

So, Zhu Hui hurriedly ran into the kitchen and brought a basin of warm water.

"Go make a glass of brown sugar water." The midwife commanded.

In this way, Zhu Hui followed them and was busy until the fifth watch, and Wang Chong and Xu Ling'er still did not come back, at this time, Guo Yi and the baby were asleep, and the two maids were also tired half to death.

Taking out two taels of silver from his bosom and handing them to them, Zhu Hui said, "Thank you so much! This is a little bit of heart for my brother, please don't be too little. ”

The two maids took the money, and were very happy, and one of them said, "There are two of us guarding here, waiting for General Wang to come back, son, you can sleep for a while." ”

Zhu Hui thanked them again, how dare he go to sleep again? If it weren't for Guo Yi's labor, he should have gone to the yamen a long time ago, maybe they were searching for Wu Lian at the moment......

Quietly leaving Wang Chong's house, Zhu Hui asked his husband several times along the way, and finally found Chengtianmen, and asked outside the Fusi Yamen in the north town of Liubu Street, only to know that the commander Liu Shouyou, Wang Chong, Xu Ling'er and others were all in the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies on the west side of the Qianbu Corridor, and followed the old prince of Chengguo on an errand.

Zhu Hui, who was sweating profusely, came to the yamen, only to see that the lights were bright inside, and he explained his identity to the doorman, and was immediately taken in, only to see Zhu Xizhong wearing a python robe and a jade belt around his waist, sitting on top of the handsome position, and next to him sat the commander of the bullfighting suit Liu Shouyou, and the generals at all levels of the flying fish brocade clothes were divided into two compartments, Wang Chong and Xu Ling'er were also among them.

At this moment, everyone was listening carefully to Liu Shouyou's speech, and the official called Wang Chong out, and as soon as he saw Zhu Hui, he asked angrily, "Where did you go?" Did you catch the woman from Cai's house? ”

Zhu Hui's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he immediately calmed down again, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my brother for having a noble son, and Sister Yi'er's mother and son are safe." ”

Wang Chong couldn't believe it, he suddenly shuddered, and hurriedly asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Isn't the due date on the 10th day of the first month? ”

"Please rest assured, brother, thanks to those two maids, they will deliver the baby, otherwise, this Chinese New Year, even if you are at home, I am afraid you will not be able to help, and you will not be able to find a midwife." Zhu Hui replied.

Wang Chong secretly rejoiced and continued to ask: "Stinky boy, you haven't answered me yet, where did you go?" Did the woman in Caifu get caught? ”

Zhu Hui had already thought of a countermeasure, and replied: "After she escaped from the noon gate, it seems, it seems that she went to Yongding Gate, I, I suspect that she went to find Chen Yuanhua, so I chased after her, but no, I couldn't find them. ”

Wang Chong nodded after hearing this, and said: "The family members of the Cai Mansion interrogated and learned that the woman was Wu Xiang's sister, and no one else knew about Luo Amin's situation except Cai Dezhong and Wu Lian. ”

At this time, Zhu Hui broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but worry about Wu Lian, and asked tentatively, "Have you sent someone to arrest you?" ”

"Although Wu Lian is favored by Cai Dezhong, she has no status at home, so Cai Dezhong bought her a separate courtyard, we suspect that Wu Lian is hiding there now, because we are worried that after finding her, Wu Lian will talk nonsense in public, if it spreads, the saint will definitely ask, therefore, there is no action yet, I am waiting for you to come back, and I am going to send you and Ling'er to arrest Wu Lian." Wang Chong replied.

So, Zhu Hui breathed a deep sigh of relief, let go of his hanging heart, and then asked, "Brother, then what are you doing now?" ”

"We are stepping up our deployment and making every effort to arrest Huang Bingwen. Let me ask you again, is there any news of Chen Yuanhua? ”

"According to the shopkeeper in Yongdingmen, Chen Yuanhua left the capital alone."

"Now that you are also the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Guard, I will take you to meet your lords now. Remember: Today's main investigation is the case of Huang Bingwen's lying about the military situation, we have not mentioned Chen Yuanhua, and you should not mention it, only you, me, Ling'er, Haida and the old prince of Chengguo know about the case of Luo Amin, and you must not reveal any rumors to outsiders, understand? ”

Zhu Hui nodded seriously and asked, "Brother Chong, what is the attitude of the old prince of Chengguo towards Huang Bingwen now?" ”

"Huang Bingwen brought people to Cai Dezhong's house today to search for him, which shows that he has not given up looking for Luo Amin, and the old prince of Chengguo will never allow him to come nonsense." Wang Chong replied.

"Thank you, Brother Chong, I understand, what should I do with those two maids?" Zhu Hui asked.

At this moment, Wang Chong was full of gratitude to the two maids, and if he really wanted to hand over these two country girls to the government, their lives might be over, but he was afraid that they would not be relenting, so he had to enter the palace to see Niangniang, thought about it carefully, and replied: "Don't mention it for the time being, the old prince of Chengguo has absolute trust in us, and no one else can help, as for how to deal with them, wait until I go home." ”

Following Wang Chong into the Yamen of the Five Armies, Zhu Hui was shocked by this majestic scene, because he had just been hired by Jinyiwei, he didn't know the rules and etiquette at all, and stood there looking at Wang Chong dumbfounded.

Commander Liu Shouyou asked: "Wang Zhenfu, is there any whereabouts of Huang Bingwen?" ”

Wang Chong gave a deep salute and replied: "Lord Liu, I haven't it yet, and I'm looking for it with all my might." ”

At this time, Liu Shouyou glanced at Zhu Xizhong and said: "Lord Wang, the sky will be bright soon, it seems that I can't find it tonight, and the lower officials will stay on duty, please go back to rest quickly, maybe you will have to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Zhu Xizhong stroked his beard and smiled slightly, and replied: "The old man has been on an errand in front of the first emperor's Luan since he was a child, and it has become a habit to stay up late, what is this?" ”

"Qi Qi two adults, this is Zhu Hui who assisted us in suppressing bandits overseas, thanks to the grace of the two adults, Zhu Hui has just been hired by Jinyiwei, and he still doesn't understand the rules, please forgive the two adults." Wang Chong said, glaring at Zhu Hui: "Why don't you hurry up and meet the commander of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the commander of the chief Shenji battalion and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the old prince of Chengguo, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lord Liu." ”

Hurriedly knelt down in front of the two chiefs, Zhu Hui lowered his head and said loudly: "Meet the old prince of Chengguo, and meet the commander and fellow acquaintance Lord Liu." ”

Zhu Xizhong nodded reservedly, and said loudly: "Zhu Hui, grow up." ”

So, Zhu Hui raised his head generously......

There was silence for a moment, and suddenly, Zhu Xizhong smiled and praised: "Yes, Jiren has his own natural appearance, do a good job, this king will add you to the rank of knight in the future." ”

Liu Shouyou also smiled: "What a righteous young man, Wang Zhenfu's vision is good." ”

Zhu Hui thanked the two chiefs, at this time, the sky was almost dawn, Liu Shouyou found that Zhu Xizhong was already tired, and he couldn't bear it, the two discussed, left Wang Chong on duty alone, and the others all went back to rest.

Although Wang Chong's mood to visit his wife and children was extremely urgent, at this critical juncture, only he could control the situation, control the excitement in his heart, send all the superiors, colleagues and subordinates away one by one, leave Xu Ling'er and Zhu Hui behind, and instructed: "It's not dawn yet, Wu Lian is at home outside the Xibian Gate, she shouldn't have gotten up yet, you two hurry up now, be sure to catch Wu Lian, control her in our hands, and don't let outsiders know." ”

"Brother, you have to go home anyway, Sister Ling'er, I'll give you good news, Sister Yi'er gave birth last night, it's a boy, fortunately, those two maids will deliver the baby."

"Really?" Xu Ling'er looked extremely excited, and then asked: "It's embarrassing Sister Yi'er, it's all this damn Huang Bingwen, Brother Chong, can I go home first and have a look, and then go to arrest Wu Lian?" ”

"As soon as the morning dawns, I'm worried that Wu Lian will run away." Wang Chong replied.

"Brother Chong, aren't you afraid that those two maids will run away? Besides, now the family needs someone to take care of it, so let's go home and help and arrest Wu Lian, I'll just go alone. ”

In fact, Wang Chong was also worried about Guo Yi's mother and son, after all, he couldn't completely count on those two maids, and after listening to Zhu Hui's words, his heart was uneasy.

Xu Ling'er said: "Yes, Brother Chong, it's not that the little sister doesn't want to go on an errand, but if you want to arrest Wu Lian, just send Zhu Hui alone." ”

found that Wang Chong was still hesitant, so Zhu Hui reported himself and said bravely: "Brother, I am now studying under the elder of the moon sky of Shaolin Temple, and I am the successor of the three shaking arms of Dahong Fist, can you still believe me?" ”

"You two can do it."

Zhu Hui and Xu Ling'er looked at each other and smiled, then said goodbye to Wang Chong, the two left the Yamen of the Five Armies to protect the palace, and Xu Ling'er returned to Wang Chong's home to take care of Guo Yi's mother and son; Zhu Hui knew that Wu Lian would not run away, so he slowly came to the door of Xibian.

At this time, Wu Lian finished dressing up, dressed herself like a bride, hung three feet of white silk on the beam, lit two red candles on the dresser, and sat in front of the mirror with tears in her eyes......

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, Wu Lian suddenly showed a frightened look, opened the brocade box on the dresser and looked at it, hid it again, lit three incense sticks in front of the Buddhist shrine, closed his eyes and worshipped and worshipped, and then walked to the door of the small courtyard, and asked through the door: "Who?" ”

"Lian'er, it's me."

Wu Lian's nose was sore, and she suddenly burst into tears, hurriedly opened the door, looked out again, and said, "Childe, come into the house and be warm, warm." ”

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a three-foot white silk hanging on the beams of the house, and Zhu Hui, who looked nervous, said: "Lian'er, if I don't come back, you ......."

Wu Lian immediately threw herself into his arms, crying and replied: "Don't say it, son, this is not a safe place, sooner or later someone will come to arrest me, if you don't come by noon, I will burn the Zhuang ticket in the brocade box and hang yourself on the beam of this house." ”

So, Zhu Hui hugged Wu Lian tightly and said softly: "Lian'er, I will take care of you for the rest of your life......

Wu Lian struggled to get rid of Zhu Hui, took out the brocade box that had just been hidden, took out the colorful paper scroll, and said: "Childe, I believe that you are a person who believes in his word, you see, this is Cai Dezhong is afraid that I will suffer a loss in the future, in Nanjing's Xingji Money Village, the Zhuang ticket saved in my name is about more than one million taels, and after returning to Nanjing, all this money will be handed over to Gongzi." ”

More than one million taels of silver! Zhu Hui couldn't believe it, and suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and almost fell to the ground......
