On the second day of the first lunar month, social activities in Anlu City are still frequent, ordinary families visit relatives, and large families take this opportunity to visit relatives and friends to enhance their friendship with each other. However, the gate of the Changshou County Lord's Mansion is closed, and all visits are refused, at most a letter of worship is thrown at the door, and as for entering the door, there is no hope.

The people of Anlu were accustomed to the maverick behavior of the county lord, and it was also understandable that her husband had been dead for more than a year, so he did not participate in social activities at this time.

Two heavy and sturdy wooden doors and tall walled gatehouses cut off the inside and outside, and the county lord's mansion, which had been devastated by the war, has been restored to its former glory. And in the embroidery building protected by this winding corridor, Zhu Xiuchang, the noble and reserved longevity county lord who is as awe-inspiring as the Nine Heavens Fairy, was held in the arms of the man at this time, with his hands around the man's neck, eating and laughing.

In the cold winter season, the water turns into ice, but this small embroidery room is as warm as spring, and the warmth is melting. In this era, even the housewives of ordinary families will not be so intimate with their husbands. In this private world that belongs to the two of them, such closeness, or even more presumptuous behavior, has nothing to do with it, it will only make the two of them enjoy the pleasure of getting carried away.

Ruxian's few dry coughs ruined the charming atmosphere of the two, seeing her put the fruit bowl and tea on the table, Zhu Xiuchang smiled, "Sister Ruxian is eating dry vinegar, and it is also true, these days she is guarding the empty room like me, waiting for you to come over." But now she still has to be at the back of the palace, and it's not surprising that she's a little unhappy. ”

Ruxian snorted, sat down next to Yang Chengzu and said, "I'm too lazy to care about you." But now that you have a body, you can't toss around, at most it's just scratching your boots and making yourself angry. You, it's better to stop. ”

"This palace is willing, you can't control it." Zhu Xiuchang glanced at her, and then pointed her finger at her face, "Here, kiss here." Although this palace can't accompany you now, they are all idle and can serve you. Anyway, don't you want to go back to your women, stay with me today. Let's hear if our baby is kicking me. ”

Yang Chengzu looked at her lower abdomen and shook his head, "Now is not the right time, it's too early, it's not a day." I can't feel it yet, but when the day comes, I'll be able to hear it. ”

"At that time, I'm afraid you won't be in Anlu. While you're there, listen to it first, and by the time the child is born, I'm afraid you'll already be in Beijing, aren't you? Zhu Xiuchang looked out the window and chuckled: "Just as you said, in front of the sick tree, An Lu really regained his vitality. It's as if last year's chaos had never happened. An Lu is still like the An Lu in the past, everyone lives their own lives. The big families still enjoy wealth and prosperity, and the poor people can't pass the New Year, hanging themselves and throwing themselves into the well, and nothing has changed. Firecrackers and fireworks are still there, and people's ability to forget their pain is indeed very strong. ”

"Actually, it's supposed to be like this, and there is no point in remembering those unhappy things, so it's better to remember some happy things instead. Isn't it good for An Lu to be like this, thriving and full of energy, it is better for everyone to live in painful memories and mourn those who died or suffered. ”

"Actually, this is also inseparable from your credit, if it weren't for the fact that you have been making scripts and running drama troupes in the past year. An Lu doesn't know how many more people will die, at least there are many women who can't survive, and now there are more ways to live. I don't know if you can sing your drama to Jingshi in the future. If those old scholars of the imperial court are popular to listen to this play, then the drama troupe you have cultivated will be worth the money. Yang Tinghe is known as incorruptible, but the troupe in his family is said to have spent more than 8,000 taels of silver, which is still a clean official. You can only rely on teaching drama and cultivating drama, and you can eat and wear without worry. ”

"Jingshi, this goal is too far, and I don't know if it can be achieved, it's too early to mention this. Maybe when the baby is born, I can still be here, watching the baby be born, holding your hand, and cheering you on. ”

Zhu Xiuchang's hand slapped lightly on him, "Shut up, don't give me random expectations, then my disappointment will be more serious." I actually had such a dream, when I gave birth to a baby, you sat next to me, held my hand, and shouted and cheered for me. I heard that when the Miao family in your family gave birth to a child, you did it like this, you didn't even talk about taboos, and almost killed Wen Po for this. When I heard the news, I was both jealous and envious, and I really wished that person was me. But I know that it is also a dream, when you are there, you must be in Beijing, by the side of the younger brother, to give him advice, shelter from the wind and rain, it is absolutely impossible to still be in Anlu. ”

"You're saying this too soon, and the situation may not be so fast."

"Don't lie to me, my mind is not confused, besides, my people are always active, and these news can't hide from me. Heavenly home, it won't last long. In Jingshi, my network, or our Anlu's network, has been playing a role, and a lot of news can be transmitted back through Kuaima. Doing business, you have to be deaf and clear-sighted, not to mention that it is related to the genus of the big position, who of you does not come up with the solution of the whole body? ”

Zhengde's physical problems, the people on An Lu's side are also concerned, after all, the son of Zhu Houxi is a pro-domain, and the son of heaven has no heirs, once something happens, he has a great hope of succeeding to the throne. Regardless of the usual times, on this issue, the goals of the local forces of Anlu are the same. As long as the prince can become the emperor, then the gentry in Anlu and other places can benefit from it.

It is also for this reason that the relationship between An Lu and the Beijing Division has started an unprecedented cooperation this time, sharing channels and making up for each other, which is also an unprecedented experience in the past. It is precisely this degree of cooperation that has greatly improved the efficiency of intelligence transmission, and various movements in the capital division have been transmitted in the direction of Anlu at the fastest speed in this era.

For people like Zhu Xiuchang, if you want her to raise the fetus with peace of mind, you can't do it at all. Even during this period when it was inconvenient for her to come forward, the business under her name was still firmly in her hands. And the news of Jingli also fell into her hands for summary analysis.

"Judging from the news in my hand, I'm afraid that Banzai won't last long. He has no descendants, my brother is a vassal of the family, and once he really reaches that point, my brother will definitely succeed him. The entire Anlu people are paying attention to this matter, and if you want to say that the Anlu people can join hands to do one thing, I'm afraid this is it. This is a gamble with no advance or retreat, and the people on Anlu's side have already begun to bet. Xingwangfu can only win but not lose. Speaking of which, you are also a person in this gamble, if the younger brother wins, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous all your life, and you will enjoy it endlessly. So, I want you ...... Help me, help my brother, help him win this country back. ”
