Chapter 237: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
In the early morning of the seventh day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the town of Hunyuan Prefecture was the general's mansion
"How? Did my good daughter-in-law give birth? โ
Outside a small but delicate room, more than a dozen servants and maids ran towards the room with hot water and hot towels, and from time to time there were bursts of painful moans from inside the room.
The old lady of Yue's mansion was holding a cane in one hand, and holding her granddaughter Yue Ying's small hand with the other, looking anxiously at the house, and kept muttering, "It's been several hours, why haven't you given birth yet, haven't given birth yet." โ
"Grandma, don't worry, my sister-in-law is a blessed person, she will be fine!" Yue Ying on the side comforted the old lady softly while supporting her.
"Yes, old lady, the young grandmother looks like a good person, she will be fine." Cao Youqian, who had been following the old lady closely, stared at the old lady while comforting. The one inside hasn't been born yet, so this one can't have an accident first, otherwise when the young master comes back, he will have to dismantle his housekeeper.
"No, I'm going to go in and see, what's going on, what do those midwives eat, why can't they even do this little thing." The old lady was so anxious that she began to curse in her mouth......
"Huh...... Grandmother...... You can't go in! โ
"Yes, old lady, the midwife inside is busy, isn't it a mess for you to go in!" Cao Youqian also persuaded.
"What...... You say I'm making trouble! I'm worried about my great-grandchild! The old lady was not happy now, the evil fire that had been holding back in her heart for the past few days finally came out, her old eyes glared, and she was about to scold immediately, when suddenly there was a baby's cry in the room.
"Wow Wow Wow ......"
The loud cry was like the first rays of sunshine in the morning to dispel the haze accumulated in everyone's hearts, and the old lady's old face, which had been gloomy, melted immediately like snow in the scorching sun, and the wrinkles on her face opened like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Huh............ It should have been born, so ...... Send someone to find out if it's a boy or a girl? โ
As soon as the old lady's words fell, a middle-aged servant woman rushed out of the door with a flying degree, ran to the old lady, bent down and said breathlessly: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady." The young grandmother gave birth to a big fat boy, and the mother and child are safe! โ
"Good...... Okay, our Yue family has a descendant, this is really the blessing of our ancestors! The old body is finally worthy of his grandson who is away from war. When she heard that it was a boy, the old lady was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth, and her speech was a little inverted.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps behind her, and as soon as the old lady turned around, the Linglong sisters also came. The old lady pressed the joy in her heart, and hurriedly walked over with Yue Ying's support and said, "Eh." What's going on, Ling'er, why are you here, didn't you let you rest in the house? How many times have I told you, you are not physically convenient now, and you can't be too tired. โ
Today, Yuling is wearing a wide skirt, and it is no longer convenient for her to walk with a large lower abdomen, and Yulong is carefully supporting her on the side.
I saw Yuling smile gently, took two steps forward and grabbed the old lady's hand and said coquettishly: "Old lady, look at what you always say." Ling'er was trained by you, how can it be so delicate, besides, when the young master left, he told Ling'er to take care of Sister Hai Lanzhu, and now Sister Hai Lanzhu is about to give birth. How could Ling'er not come? โ
"How many times have you said that you want to call grandma!" The old lady took Yuling's little hand, although she said complaining words in her mouth. But there was a smile on his face. Although the old lady always says that she should treat everyone equally, people have selfish intentions, and they naturally love the Linglong sisters and old ladies who grew up in front of them since childhood. Now that she sees that Yuling can look at Hai Lanzhu in general, she is naturally relieved.
"Grandma, did Sister Hai Lanzhu give birth?" Yulong on the side asked.
"It's born, it's a big fat boy." The old lady replied with a smile from ear to ear.
"Great, if the young master knows about it, I don't know how happy he will be." Yulong couldn't help jumping up and clapping her hands happily.
Seeing the happy Yulong and the jealous Yuling on her face, the old lady nodded secretly in her heart, what the Linglong sisters liked most was that they were kind-hearted, and this was also the place where she was relieved to marry the two of them to Yueyang.
The old lady patted Yuling's little hand and said, "Okay, let's stop standing here, let's go in and see the old man's good great-grandson." After saying that, the old lady was about to walk towards the delivery room in front of her, but before she could reach the delivery room, she heard bursts of cheers from a distance, and one after another, very enthusiastic.
The old lady stopped, turned back to Cao Youqian behind her with some confusion and said, "Housekeeper, go out and see, what's going on outside, why is it so noisy, I don't know if the young grandmother needs to recuperate after giving birth?" โ
"Yes!" Cao Youqian hurriedly bowed his head and agreed, and he couldn't understand which guy was so bold that he dared to make a fuss outside, but before he could go out, the noise outside became louder and louder, and even some people began to set off firecrackers.
Seeing the old lady's somewhat ugly face, Lao Cao was also a little angry in his heart, he had already made a decision in his heart, and when he went out, he must just teach those guys who don't know the rules a good lesson.
It's just that Lao Cao's idea didn't come true, and a young servant came running from a distance, and when he saw him running, he shouted: "Old lady, Steward Cao, general...... Our general has returned home! โ
"What? The general has returned home! โ
The words of the subordinate were like a tornado, which completely alarmed everyone.
Lao Cao jumped out with an arrow step, grabbed the servant's collar and asked, "Do you see clearly, is it our master?" โ
The servant who was grabbed by the collar nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "It's true, butler, the sergeant sent by the general to report the news is still in the front yard, and now the general has entered the city, and the people are going to the street to meet the general." โ
"Yes, yes!" The old lady on the side was so happy that she burst into tears, "Hai Lanzhu just gave birth to a child, and her old good grandson is back, this is a happy event!" Fast...... Immediately let the subordinates kill pigs and sheep, and today our house will hold a feast! โ
"Yes!"
With the command of the old lady, the entire Zhenguo General's Mansion began to be lively......
โฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆ
A year later, the town of the general of the country
The May sun was warm, and Yue Yang held his one-year-old son lazily sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion basking in the sun. The whole person was motionless, and if it weren't for the son's babbling from time to time, it would be no different from a statue.
Just as Yue Yang was lazily drowsy, a whispering voice seemed to come from the sky.
"Sister, you see that the young master is secretly napping here again, and the young master is getting lazy these days." This is Yulong's voice.
"Shh......h Yulong, you be quiet, Xianggong is busy with military training these days, and he is really busy with the affairs of Tuntian, so it is also appropriate to let him rest for a while. Hai Lanzhu's voice also came: "Xiaoman, you go over and bring the young master over, let the general have a good rest." โ
"Yes!"
Soon. A light footstep came from Yue Yang's side, and when the visitor was about to walk to Yue Yang's side, Yue Yang suddenly opened his eyes and grimaced at the visitor.
"Ah......h
Xiao Man's sharp cry sounded in Yue Yang's ears, followed by the frightened cry of his son, who was lying quietly in Yue Yang's arms.
"Gotta ...... It seems that this time it was overplayed. Yue Yang helplessly coaxed the son in his arms, while casting a look for help at Hai Lanzhu, who was trotting over.
Hai Lanzhu glared at her man with a smile, took her son from Yue Yang's hand, and coaxed her son in a low voice, "Oh oh...... Good son doesn't cry, mom is here. My son doesn't cry, you're a strong man, don't cry......"
Xiao Man, who was taken aback by Yue Yang just now, came to his young lady angrily at this time, glaring at Yue Yang while angrily scolding Yue Yang's guilt, trying to kill the other party with his eyes.
As the owner of Xiaoman. Hai Lanzhu naturally wanted to help her personal maid come out, and she counted Yue Yang while coaxing her son: "You, you are still the general of Zhenguo, look at you." It's no different from a child. It's almost scared our little man to tears! โ
"Gotta ...... Affection buddies are now the exception of people. Yue Yang touched his nose a little embarrassed and walked to the Linglong sisters on the side.
At this time, the Lingling sisters were standing aside smiling and watching the excitement, and they were also holding a swaddling baby in Yuling's arms. Inside, a little guy was babbling and kicking his limbs, and this little guy was his daughter who was less than three months old.
In this year, Yue Yang had sons and daughters, Hai Lanzhu and Yuling each gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl, so that Yue Yang experienced the joy of family.
Yue Yang walked up to Yuling, reported the swaddling clothes from Yuling's arms, lowered his head and kissed his daughter's pink little face, and said: "Baby daughter, you are the only one in our family who is the most well-behaved, and your brother will only be naughty, don't you say?" โ
"Ah...... Ah......h
Who knew that his daughter didn't give face, maybe she was pricked by her own Lao Tzu's beard, and immediately cried, and at the same time squirted out a warm liquid, which made Yue Yang's body all over the place.
Seeing Yueyang's wolf bรจi's appearance, several women laughed one after another. Yuling couldn't help but smile and hugged her daughter back, took the diaper from Yulong's hand and changed it for her daughter. Yue Yang, who felt a big loss of face, walked to the side and sat down.
At this time, Hai Lanzhu also coaxed his son, handed him over to Xiaoman, and then went to Yue Yang's side, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and thoughtfully helped Yue Yang wipe the child's urine on his body.
Looking at Hai Lanzhu and the other women busy, Yue Yang only felt a burst of warmth welling up in his heart.
After Hai Lanzhu finished wiping Yue Yang, she saw that Yue Yang was staring at her in a daze, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "What are you looking at?" โ
"Look at your daughter-in-law, isn't this okay? Who made our daughter-in-law beautiful? Yue Yang said confidently.
"Poof!" Hai Lanzhu Yingying laughed, a gentle look appeared on her face, stretched out her slender jade and pointed at Yue Yang's head and said, "I don't know you yet, you must have something on your mind these days, right?" Otherwise, how could he come here alone for several days? โ
Yue Yang looked at Hai Lanzhu with appreciation, she deserves to be her daughter-in-law, she has only been married for less than two years, and she knows so much about her habits.
Nodding his head, Yue Yang said, "You're right, I'm really thinking about something during this time. โ
"What's the matter, can't even I say?" Hai Lanzhu blinked her big eyes and looked at her husband curiously.
"Uh...... It's not a big deal, it's mainly thinking about how to deal with that person in Datong. โ
The history of this plane has changed a lot compared to the other. The great famine and peasant uprising that broke out this year because of the continuous drought also changed greatly because of the arrival of Yueyang.
Due to the emergence of potatoes, wheat, sweet potatoes and other crops, Yingzhou and Hunyuan Prefecture have achieved bumper harvests for several consecutive years. Just last winter, Yingzhou achieved an unprecedented bumper harvest, harvesting more than 7 million quintals of grain. And Hunyuan Prefecture is not bad, under the vigorous supervision of Yueyang, more than 200,000 displaced people have reclaimed a total of 450,000 acres of wasteland, plus the original more than 300,000 acres of fields, Hunyuan Prefecture has also harvested more than 4 million quintals of grain, even the prefectures have received a total of more than 10 million quintals of grain, and the whole Ming Dynasty has been a sensation after the news came out.
Due to the bumper harvest for several consecutive years, Shanxi North Road has been favored as the land of fish and rice. Yueyang was also rewarded by Chongzhen for continuously handing over hundreds of thousands of loads of grain to the imperial court, and Yueyang monopolized Shanxi's salt, so he was praised by many people as the god of wealth of the Ming Dynasty.
But as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Yueyang has a mountain of grain and huge wealth, which naturally makes many people suffer from pink eye, and since this year, some rumors against him have also spread in the government and the opposition.
And the one who made the most trouble about this matter was Chen Xinjia, the inspector of Shanxi, who had returned to Beijing after his term of office expired.
Since Chen Xinjia was lost face by Yue Yang in front of the generals, he was narrow-minded and regarded Yue Yang as an enemy who did not share the sky. In Shanxi, because he was separated from Yueyang, he was separated from Taiyuan, and there was Lu Xiangsheng and Xu Dingchen's protection. Therefore, he can't do anything about Yueyang, but after returning to the capital, it will be different, since the Spring Festival this year, the first thing he did when he returned to the capital was to impeach Chongzhen for supporting the army and self-respecting. implored the imperial court to punish him severely, but for some reason, this letter was suppressed by Chongzhen and left in the middle.
Chen Xinjia was naturally unwilling, and then he contacted many colleagues and officials to attack Yue Yang in turn, although he was still suppressed by Chongzhen. However, rumors against Yue Yang have gradually spread among the government and the opposition, and many officials who claim to be upright have asked Chongzhen to deal with Yue Yang. Especially when the news of Yue Yang's dispatch of troops to the Chahar tribe spread, this kind of public opinion reached the **. Many people who read stupidly and scolded Yueyang as a thief without a king and a father.
Yue Yang is not ignorant of the things in the capital, for more than a year, Hai Lanzhu led Youshan Division and Youchuan Division have gradually extended their tentacles to all parts of the Ming Dynasty and outside the Guan, if they don't even know about this kind of major event, everyone in Youshan Division should wipe their necks.
In fact, not only Yueyang, but the entire Shanxi officialdom knew about the movements in the capital, and the generals at all levels in Yingzhou Mansion and Hunyuan Prefecture, as well as officials at all levels under Yueyang, were all complaining about Yueyang, but more people were silently observing, they were observing Yueyang's next move.
While everyone was observing Yue Yang's next move, Yue Yang, as a party concerned, still silently stayed in his one-third of an acre of land and continued his great cause of reclamation, as if the affairs of the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Hai Lanzhu naturally knows these things, as a woman who controls Youshan Si and Youchuan Si, if Hai Lanzhu doesn't even know this kind of thing, it will be too incompetent. Don't talk about these things, even the little thing about Yue Yang and Chahar's Doro Empress Doro's Namu Zhong is clear to her.
But as a smart woman, Hai Lanzhu knows that men are like a wild horse, if it is not enough to rely on blunt pulling, as his wife, what she has to do is to be a good harbor, to become a safe haven for her own men, and at the same time to let men do without themselves, and even rely on themselves, this is what a smart woman should do.
Seeing Yue Yang and Hai Lanzhu's silent appearance, Yuling and Yulong understood that the two were thinking about things, so they obediently took Xiaomanbao and the child left the garden on the side of the pavilion road to play, and soon the pavilion returned to tranquility.
After a while, Yue Yang broke the silence: "Daughter-in-law, is there any new news from the imperial court these days?" โ
Hai Lanzhu nodded: "Recently, there are some people in the court who are discussing to transfer you away?" โ
"Transfer me?" Yue Yang sat up straight in astonishment, and said with some surprise: "Who is so bold as to dare to make such a bold statement?" โ
Hai Lanzhu pursed her lips: "Who else can it be, it's not that left attendant of the military department." โ
"Chen Xinjia!" Yue Yang didn't laugh angrily: "Hehe, I haven't paid attention to him these days, but he has become energetic, and he even dares to bring up such a thing as transferring me away, his brain is in water." โ
"Don't worry, his brain won't get into the water?" Hai Lanzhu glanced at him, for the "strange" words that pop up from time to time in Yueyang, now Hai Lanzhu is also a little immune, now not only Yueyang's family members, even his subordinates have begun to hang strange words such as "second goods" and "stupid fork" on their lips.
"Chen Xinjia gave the emperor an excerpt, saying that you have been serving as a general of the North Road for two years, although you have made a great contribution to the North Road, but the officials have served in a certain place for too long is not conducive to the stability of the imperial court, so the imperial court will transfer you to the East Road or West 6 to serve. Not only Chen Xinjia, but also some officials from the household department also coaxed, to put it bluntly, those people are still jealous of our family's industries and food. โ
"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings......" Yue Yang sighed softly...... (To be continued......)
