Chapter 433: Midsummer

Bao Cheng actually said that the person standing in front of the old man was the famous King of Jin, of course the old man didn't believe it, in his opinion, the princes and nobles must have corresponding honor guards, and they were very particular about pomp. Looking at these people in front of him, there is nothing, and the red mouth and white teeth say that it is so-and-so, which is really hard to believe. Of course, Xue Chongxun wouldn't take out the seal letter to prove his identity, he just wanted to rest here for one night and get some supplies.

However, the old man still asked the villagers to receive them, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with Tang Bing. If these dozens of people weren't sergeants, they were caught with armor hanging on their bodies, and they were complicit, and where did they get so much armor?

The group walked along the dark and uneven road in the village, and someone next to Xue Chongxun smiled and whispered: "Actually asked if we knew Li Maogong......"

Xue Chongxun said in his heart: This sounds a bit nonsense, just like an old man in modern times who asked a soldier: Do you know General Peng? In the past, the old man also wore military uniforms to fight the Korean War.

He laughed at "Green **" and said: "There are many of us, you will give the old man some money in a while, let him buy some food from the villagers, and we have to take some away after eating." ”

Zhang Wulang agreed, and it was quite reassuring for Xue Chongxun to let him do this kind of thing, Zhang Wulang was more kind and kind-hearted.

The old house is really slightly better than other houses, with a tiled roof, but it is still very dilapidated. Xue Chongxun sat in the hall at the main entrance, only to feel that the light was dim and unclear, and now he remembered that the low official offices in the three cities were already very "bright". At least there are many oil lamps lit on lamp stands in the official offices of the three cities, and there is one lamp here! Dozens of people were crowded inside and outside the house, and they couldn't even see everyone's faces clearly.

The uneven black painted walls, the simple and old tables and stools, and the black, yellow, black, and yellow window paper that had long been broken by the wind crackled. Xue Chongxun smelled a complex smell in his nose, there was the smell of burning wood in the house, there was the smell of feces pouring in from somewhere, and there was a very pungent smell that I didn't know what was burning.

When the old man came in to talk, Bao Cheng asked what the burn was. The elder said: "Mosquito repellent herbs, it's okay!" ”

However, the dogs barking one after another from outside did not sound annoying, but made people have the smell of people. After a long time, a woman with unkempt hair came in with a basket, and a man behind him carried a bucket, which was steaming, and Xue Chongxunzhi hoped that this bucket was not a dung bucket.

The old man said: "The guest is too late, there is nothing to prepare for this, so I can only fill my stomach." ”

At this time, Zhang Wulang took out a silk bag, took out a few pieces of green paper from it, thought about it and stuffed it back, grabbed some white silver coins and held them in front of the old man: "There are many of us, Ming'er still has to hurry, and I bother the old man to go to the villagers' houses to buy some dry food." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "This can't be done! ”

Zhang Wulang said with a smile: "Made of silver, one piece weighs two coins, and it can be used as money, so accept it, you are polite." ”

Bao Cheng next to him said: "Take it, boss, we can't bear to eat white food, look at how poor you have become." ”

When Zhang Wulang heard that this guy was not a good word, he frowned and said, "It seems that your hometown is very rich?" ”

Bao Cheng smiled awkwardly, looked at Xue Chongxun and said, "Xue Lang's family will be better." ”

…… Xue Chongxun's home is in Chang'an, and the Jin Wangfu and the village where they stayed overnight are completely two worlds. The house is very quiet, and I don't hear the dog barking, but there is a faint sound of silk and bamboo in the outer courtyard, and it is about the courtesans raised in the house who are still practicing. The pavement around Tingyu Lake is spotlessly clean and cleaned every day, and light red lanterns hang under the eaves, and the red light is reflected in the white moonlight.

His wife Li Yan'er's room uses a screen window to prevent mosquitoes, and there is an incense tripod inside, which has a little green smoke, which nourishes the mind and repells mosquitoes. There are maids waiting day and night, going to change the spices on time, and even the red candles on the lamp stand and the wicks are made by the slaves and maids. They have been in the house for a long time and are very skilled in doing these jobs, and if something goes wrong and is known by the Sun family, they will have to be disciplined.

Ayara red clamour is a common textile, and gold, silver and jade are not uncommon. Unkempt people are impossible to see here, and even slaves and maids who do rough work have to be cleaned up and tidy. There are three women in the room, and one is really whiter and more charming than the other. Li Yan'er was lying on the bed with her stomach already bulging, she was sitting on the chair next to the bed talking to her, and Yu Wenji, who was wearing a lapel robe, was pinching her wrist to check her pulse.

After a while, Yuwen Ji said: "I estimate that the delivery period is about ten days later, and the pulse is very stable, and the lady and princess can rest assured." ”

Sun smiled: "The divine doctor is a member of our family, but it is also reassuring." ”

Yuwen Ji's cheeks flushed slightly. Li Yan'er said sullenly: "I obviously wrote a letter saying that I would come back to accompany me, but I didn't see anyone!" I have to walk gently with a big belly, who is it for! ”

"Shut up!" Sun Shi was immediately angry, but soon remembered to make her feel good, so he immediately relieved his breath and said kindly, "Aren't the people of the entire palace accompanying you?" Your aunt often sends people to ask in Daming Palace. Whatever you want to eat, whatever you want to hear, everything is obedient to you. ”

Li Yan'er was still unhappy and said: "This is different, I have to wait for him to come back before I am born, otherwise if I die, I won't even be able to see the last side." ”

Sun's face turned pale for a while when he heard this, and Yuwen Ji hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, madam, I will check the princess's pulse from time to time, and there will be no problems." Is she scared in her heart to say this? ”

Sun couldn't help but say angrily: "When I gave birth to you, I wasn't as precious as you, your father didn't ask a word, and I was worried about your great-grandmother (Wu Zetian) all day long, don't you grow so big!" ”

Li Yan'er looked at her pitifully and was speechless.

Sun sighed again: "I'm about to be a mother, and I'm not sensible." Don't think that your surname Li can be windy and rainy, and you will forget the days when we lived in the small courtyard of Tai Armpit Chiben so quickly? Even a female official in charge of the palace maid can bully us. Your current identity is the princess of Jin, and if you don't take it seriously, you will persuade Xue Lang to do big things carefully, and let him go home one day, what kind of system will you become? What did Xue Lang do when he went to the bitter cold land in the north, wasn't Zhang Ren willing to rebel? If these traitors and thieves come to Chang'an, let's cry every day and not beg for the earth, I see who you will rely on if you just gave birth to the child of the Xue family. ”

Li Yan'er was finally relieved after being trained, staring at Sun innocently with a pair of big eyes, and arguing was not her opponent at all.

Yuwen Ji said: "Last time, I heard that Xue Lang had broken through the three cities and defeated Zhang Renyuan, and he wrote a letter back, so he should be safe." ”

The three of them talked for a while, Li Yan'er had to sleep sullenly, Sun cared about her very much, and always felt that the maids might not be waiting well, so he made a bed in Li Yan'er's room and accompanied her all night.

After raising for more than ten days, Yuwen Ji was diagnosed very accurately, and sure enough, Li Yan'er was in labor. At this time, the Jin Palace's mansion was lively, and there were a lot of eunuchs and wives in the Daming Palace, and Dr. Zhou from the Imperial Medical Department took a group of people to drink tea in the living room of the outer mansion, just in case.

Listening to the courtyard by the rainy lake, I only heard Li Yan'er screaming in pain, it seems that it is really not easy to give birth to a child in this meeting. She was sweating profusely, sweat and tears flowed together, always feeling that she was about to die, and from time to time she looked at the door, as if expecting something.

Sun understood, so he persuaded: "Don't think about anything else, just pass this level, Yan'er has to work hard." ”

Li Yan'er cried: "He clearly said in the letter that he was coming back, deceiving people!" ”

Sun glanced at Yuwen Ji: "It's still a child's heart......"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Yao Wan ran to the door and said, "Madam, Lang Jun is back!" ”

Sun was taken aback, looked at Li Yan'er in a daze, and said, "Hurry up and let him come in to see the princess first." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Yao Wan hurriedly ran away.

After a while, sure enough, he saw Xue Chongxun running over, and when he went to the door, he saw that the room was full of women, including old midwives and small girls. He said: "Wang Changling, they are still on the road, and I rushed back with a light horse." ”

After hearing this, Sun Shi felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, glanced at him, and saw the appearance of dust and dust. About for the safety of the road, Xue Chongxun was still wearing armor, but the helmet was taken off and thrown aside, his hair was dirty and messy, and his face looked even darker because he had not been washed.

The women looked at him in amazement, as if a beggar had entered the house. Sun Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted seriously: "Xue Lang has worked hard for state affairs. The others hurried to her knees.

Xue Chongxun ignored them, strode to the bed, squatted down and grabbed Li Yan'er's hand, and her white hand was immediately marked with black marks.

Li Yan'er cried: "I knew you would come back...... It's so uncomfortable, am I going to die......"

"No, it's just a new beginning." Xue Chongxun comforted gently, he forgot that he hadn't washed his hands, so he reached out and wiped the tears from her eyes with his fingers, and as a result, Li Yan'er's face quickly turned into a cat.

Xue Chongxun whispered something nice to her again, and Sun asked him to go out and wait first, but Li Yan'er grabbed his hand and didn't let go, "No, you have to stay with me all the time, and you are not allowed to go out." ”

Sun said: "Where is there a man left in the delivery room, it is unlucky." Xue Lang was at the door, he wouldn't go far, so he was obedient and let go. ”

Li Yan'er has been spoiled since she was a child, and she doesn't care what reason you have, so she won't let it go, and said: "I'm not afraid of Lang Jun next to me." ”

Xue Chongxun was greatly moved when he heard this, and said: "I don't believe in evil, what are you afraid of being unlucky?" I'm sitting on the edge of the wall, and I'm in your way. ”

Sun was stunned, and said in his heart that Li Yan'er was that kind of character, and Xue Chongxun was also messing around? But seeing Li Yan'er holding on to his hand, she couldn't help it, but a sour water came out of her heart.

"Irrelevant people go out with me, and leave those who do the right thing." Sun ordered.

…… After tossing for a long time, Xue Chongxun's eardrums were about to be shattered by Li Yan'er's shouting. But the result was okay, when Yuwen Ji announced that the mother and daughter were safe, Xue Chongxun also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time pondered Yuwen Ji's words, and said in his heart: It turns out that she gave birth to a daughter...... can't be an heir, and will have to be nagged by Princess Taiping and the Sun family in the future.

After Sun learned the news, although she was also very relieved, after all, she was safe, but the disappointment on her face was still inadvertently revealed.

However, Xue Chongxun picked up the swaddling clothes with a happy look and said, "My sons and daughters are the same, I finally became a father...... Haha, you were born as the county lord, and you will be spoiled like your mother in the future. ”

"Let me see." Li Yan'er's face was bloodless, her hair was scattered on the pillow, and her voice was a little shady, and for a while she seemed to be a different person.

Xue Chongxun hugged the child over, and heard Sun's words: "You hurry up and go to the bath and change clothes, your body is so dirty, don't hold the child, and let Yan'er rest for a while." ”

At this moment, a eunuch outside the door whispered, "Is it the prince or the lord of the county?" The miscellaneous family has to rush back to report to His Highness. ”

Sun's face suddenly sank.

At this time, Li Yan'er asked, "Lang Jun, have you thought of a name?" Mother has to wait for you to pick it up. ”

“…… Of course I think about it, I often think about it in Anbei Town. Xue Chongxun rubbed his hands and said in a hurry, "Born in the summer, how about a single name and a summer character?" ”

"Huh?" Li Yan'er frowned and looked at him.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "This summer character is not simple, it not only symbolizes the vitality of all things, but also is another name for Huaxia. The prince's daughter, of course, must be atmospheric, and she can't take the name of some flowers and grass, right? Give her the title of the county lord of Xiazhou again, it will be more compatible! ”Q
