Chao Yong anxiously paced back and forth in the courtyard, and every scream of Sanniang in the house made Chao Yong worry.

Chao Yong rushed back to Qingzhou to welcome the birth of his first child. After living in Qingzhou for a few days, Sanniang showed signs of childbirth.

But an hour has passed, and he still hasn't heard the child's cry, Chao Yong listened to Sanniang's cry becoming more and more painful, and couldn't hold back anymore, so he pulled his feet and rushed inside.

Seeing this, the maid guarding the door hurriedly said, "The prince stays." ”

Chao Gai in the courtyard also shouted: "Yong'er, what are you going to do?" ”

Chao Yong turned his head and said, "Those stable women are not okay, I'll go in and see Sanniang." ”

Chao Gai frowned and said: "Nonsense, what can you do when you go in, those three stable women are already the best in Qingzhou City, don't be impatient." ”

"Ahh

While speaking, Sanniang in the room screamed again.

When Chao Yong heard this, his face couldn't help but change again.

Hu Cheng persuaded on the side: "The prince doesn't have to worry too much, when my mother gave birth to her first child, it took more than two hours." ”

Chao Yong looked at Hu Chengdao suspiciously: "Are there really two hours?" ”

Hu Cheng nodded and said, "It's just more, no less." ”

Chao Yong's mother, He Shi, also said: "When my mother gave birth to you, it was more than an hour, so don't worry." ”

Chao Yong saw that both of them said this, so he was a little relieved.

Chao Gai saw that Chao Yong's brows were tightly locked, and he was restless, so he asked Chao Yong about some things about the army, and wanted to distract Chao Yong, but every time Hu Sanniang screamed in the house, Chao Yong couldn't help but turn his head to look, obviously it didn't have much effect.

"Wow"

Finally, a loud baby cry came from the room, and Chao Yong couldn't bear the surname anymore, so he pulled his legs and rushed inside.

Seeing this, Hu Cheng hurriedly shouted, "The prince will wait a little longer." ”

Chao Yong stopped and frowned, "Why? ”

Hu Cheng looked at Chao Yong with a dissatisfied look, and hurriedly said: "Wen Po is afraid that she will have to deal with the princess's wounds, and I ask the prince to wait for a while." ”

But when Hu Cheng came, his wife said to him, afraid that Chao Yong would be estranged from Hu Sanniang after seeing that scene, and Hu Cheng was also afraid that his sister would fall out of favor in the future, so he rushed over early in the morning.

Now that the situation of Daliang is very good, everyone is convinced that Daliang can dominate the world under the leadership of Chao Yong, and everyone in the Hu family is waiting to be relatives of the emperor.

Chao Yong couldn't figure out the situation, so he had to continue to wait.

After a while, the woman in the room opened the door and shouted, "Congratulations to the prince, mother and daughter are safe." ”

Chao Yong saw the door open, but without waiting for her to finish, he broke in.

Hu Sanniang's sister-in-law was holding the freshly wrapped baby, and when she saw Chao Yong break in, she hurriedly handed it over, and said cautiously: "Congratulations to the prince, she is a beautiful girl." ”

The first time Chao Yong entered the room, he looked at Hu Sanniang on the bed, and although Hu Sanniang was pale, he still looked at the child with a concerned face, and he was also relieved.

clumsily hugged the child, walked to Hu Sanniang's bedside, and said, "Sanniang, hard work." Look how beautiful our children are. ”

Hu Sanniang sighed: "Official, I'm sorry, it's not a boy." ”

Chao Yong saw Hu Sanniang so persistent, he couldn't help but scratch Hu Sanniang's nose, and said with a smile: "Boys and girls are the same, girls will be my eldest princess in the future, you look at her mouth, how much like you, she must be a beauty in the future." ”

Hu Sanniang saw that Chao Yong didn't seem to care, so she struggled to stand up and look at the child, but as soon as she moved, she felt a terrible pain in her lower body, and couldn't help but snort.

Chao Yong hurriedly helped Hu Sanniang sit up.

Hu Sanniang just picked up the child, and the child cried "wow".

Chao Yong smiled: "It seems that my daughter likes me more." ”

Hu Sanniang saw that her daughter was crying, and hurriedly shook the child gently.

After a slight shake, the child fell asleep.

Chao Yong looked at Hu Sanniang's loving face, exuding the brilliance of his mother's surname, and couldn't help blurting out: "Sanniang, you are so beautiful." ”

The maids on the side heard Chao Yong's naked praise, and they couldn't help but laugh.

Hu Sanniang listened, but she was ashamed and happy, reluctantly raised her head, saw that Wen Po was still standing on the side, and said busily: "Official, everyone is still waiting." ”

Chao Yongqi said: "Is there anything else?" I'll look at you, and I won't shy away. ”

Hu Sanniang heard Chao Yong say this, and she couldn't help but feel sweet.

Hu Cheng's wife next to him smiled and said, "Everyone is waiting for your reward." ”

When Chao Yong heard this, he patted his head and said with a smile: "Reward, all the rewards, each stable woman will be rewarded with 100 yuan, and the maid will be rewarded with 10 yuan." ”

A hundred times you can buy a small house in Qingzhou City.

When everyone heard that Chao Yong was so rewarded, they thanked him one after another.

"Thank you for the reward, I wish the little princess a long life and a hundred years old."

After Wen Po thanked him loudly, she went down to receive the reward happily.

Hu Sanniang saw no outsiders, and glanced at Chao Yong and said: "The officials are rewarded like this, and the money in the house is afraid that it will not be enough." ”

Chao Yong also knows some of his own family background, and his own income comes from the rewards he received after winning the battle, but fortunately, after he became the crown prince, all the salaries of his soldiers have been paid by the big beams, and there is no need to subsidize them as before. Otherwise, he would have been unable to make ends meet, but because Chao Yong is usually used to spending lavishly, the balance in the house has not been much.

Chao Yong was a little overjoyed just now, and unconsciously sprinkled a lot of silver, was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, lady, I just led the army to conquer a few cities, and my father will definitely have a reward." Okay, Sanniang, you have a good rest, you don't have to worry about this. ”

While talking, Chao Gai also came in with Hu Cheng, and when he heard Chao Yong's words, he smiled and said, "Yong'er, is this asking me for a reward?" ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Aren't I poor, my father can't force me to hide some money." ”

When Chao Gai heard this, he smiled and said: "Sooner or later, the world will be yours, how you like to toss and how to toss." ”

Chao Yong heard Chao Gai say this, but he was stunned.

He has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and after he laid down the city, he also returned to the public, and never thought of intercepting some privately. subconsciously thought that he was still different from the imperial court, but forgot that it was the family and the world that were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this era.

Although Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty established the People's Republic of China, he set up a special inner treasury, that is, the "sealed pile library", and transferred the annual tax balance into the inner treasury, and the usual expenses of the royal family were also taken from the inner treasury.

Every emperor before Zhao Ji was very frugal, with more in and less out, but the inner treasury hid a lot of property. Although the Song Dynasty was weak, the money spent on military expenditures was tens of millions of yuan every year, and the finances often exceeded their means, and many times the imperial court also needed to borrow money from the inner treasury.

However, when Zhao Ji became the emperor, he built palaces and gardens on a large scale, and the palaces that the emperors of the Song Dynasty did not build were all made up for in one day when they came to him. The silver in the inner treasury was squandered, and Zhao Ji used the silver of the treasury, and when the treasury ran out of silver, Zhao Ji's capable minister Cai Jing would "change the law" for him, and change the law to loot the money of the people in the world for Zhao Ji to squander alone, of course, they could also intercept a lot of it.

When Chao Yong heard Chao Gai say this, he knew that Chao Gai did not know the difference between the treasury and the inner treasury at all, and secretly decided to go back and privately talk to Chao Yong about the disadvantages of misusing the treasury money, and asked him to set up an inner treasury, so as not to prevent the emperor from misusing the treasury money and causing a big mess of financial revenue and expenditure.

He walked up to Hu Sanniang, picked up the child, and said, "What a beautiful girl." ”

Chao Gai also stepped forward and looked at his granddaughter.

Hu Sanniang said cautiously: "The daughter-in-law is useless, she failed to give birth to a boy." ”

When Chao Yong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Didn't I say it, do I like the little princess, the girl is good, it just so happens that my mother has never brought a girl." ”

He glanced at Chao Yong and said: "I know that I love my daughter-in-law, but my mother really hasn't taken a girl, and it's good to give birth to a girl, and it's good to give birth to a boy next time." ”

When Hu Sanniang heard this, she hurriedly said, "Yes, mother, I will definitely try to give birth to a boy next time." ”

Chao Yong couldn't help but laugh as he listened to the conversation between the two.

According to the scientific explanation of later generations, it seems that this birth of a boy and a girl mainly depends on him, what is the use of Hu Sanniang's efforts. However, he couldn't tell the two of them, so he could only hide and steal fun.

Chao Gai and He Shi looked at the child, told Hu Sanniang a few more words, and left.

Chao Yong and Hu Sanniang talked and laughed for a while, and then said to Xiaoqing on the side: "I have to go to Jeju again, you have to take good care of Sanniang, if you make her unhappy, come back and be careful to serve the family." ”

Xiaoqing came over at this time, looked at the baby who was already asleep in Chao Yong's arms, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, official, I promise to raise the young lady for nothing." ”

Hu Sanniang glanced at Xiaoqing and said, "You treat me as a child, and I'm still chubby." ”

Chao Yong pinched Hu Sanniang's smooth cheeks and said with a smile: "I like to be white and chubby, and the lady wants to strive to become white and chubby when I come back." ”

Hu Sanniang saw that her brother and sister-in-law were still watching from the side, and she couldn't help but blush with shame, and said, "My brother and sister-in-law are still there." ”

Chao Yong let go of Hu Sanniang at this time, reluctantly put the child next to Sanniang, and said: "The Song Dynasty army has set off from Tokyo, and I am about to leave for Jeju, and when the Song army is repulsed, I will come back." ”

Hu Sanniang looked at Chao Yong reluctantly and said, "Be careful, officials." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Don't worry, no one in this world has hurt me." ”

Chao Yong told him again, then hugged his fist to the side and said: "The military situation is urgent, I will leave first, and Sanniang will ask my brother to take care of it on my behalf." ”

When Hu Cheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the prince will definitely take care of the princess." ”

"Ahem"

Hu Cheng's wife on the side saw that Chao Yong was about to leave, and hurriedly reminded Hu Cheng.

Hu Cheng shook his head and signaled his wife not to do much.

Chao Yong saw the husband and wife behaving like this, and couldn't help laughing: "Is there anything else going on with my brother?" ”

Hu Cheng hurriedly said: "No, the prince take care." ”

Chao Yong saw Hu Cheng's wife blushing on the side, and couldn't help laughing: "It's all a family, if you have something, just say it." ”

Hu Cheng's wife looked at Hu Cheng's submissive appearance, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "The big war is coming, presumably the time to employ people around the prince, and my family officials want to go on the expedition with the prince." ”

Chao Yong thought about it, then reacted, and said with a smile: "When the commander of the thousand commanders was appointed before, he could also serve as a real post according to his brother's qualifications, but at that time, I only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, and once my brother led the troops, he would inevitably go to the battlefield." At that time, the knife and gun will be blind, it is inevitable to be injured, and Sanniang is about to give birth, I am afraid that she will worry, so I will let someone take your place. I'm afraid this big battle is a bit dangerous, so don't go, after a few days, the reserve soldiers should be selected again, and then I will ask you for the name of the bandit general, there are still some uninteresting grass robbers in the territory, and you can also make contributions by leading troops to exterminate them. ”

Hu Cheng also knew that his martial arts were ordinary, but his wife was less than twenty commanders without him, and she kept urging him to ask Chao Yong for an official. was talked about a lot, and he also had some thoughts in his heart, but when he saw Hu Sanniang give birth to a girl, he was afraid that Chao Yong would be unhappy, so he wanted to delay it, but he didn't expect his wife to be anxious.

Hu Sanniang heard that Chao Yong was thinking about her like this, and couldn't help but look at Chao Yong with tears in her eyes, and shouted, "Official." ”
