Chapter 174: The Question of Heirs
As Zheng Liwan continued to occupy the commercial market in Jiangnan, the Jiangnan Shi clan was completely forced into a corner, and some families who had completed the handover of the head of the family went to Taizhou to find Zheng Liwan to express their allegiance to her and Li Yong, which naturally also got Li Yong's forgiveness, and all of them developed in a good direction, after Zheng Liwan completed the task of occupying the Jiangnan market, she left Taizhou and returned to Huating County to help Li Yong deal with the affairs of the maritime yamen, and the families who needed merchant ships also negotiated an order with Gundam, Those refurbished warships were transformed into merchant ships and sold to them, Liu Renliang also pulled all the warships of the naval division back to the Imperial Shipyard in Huating County, and handed over the refurbished merchant ships to the customers one by one, because it was already autumn, it was no longer suitable to go to sea, because it was very dangerous to go to sea at this time, not to mention that the monsoon was wrong, and the wind and waves and climate at sea were higher than ever, so the maritime yamen directly notified it, and waited for the first batch of merchant ships to set off again in the spring of next year, and the families who got the ships could only endure it, Anyway, there is no hurry at this time, not to mention that the goods they have prepared are not ready, and they can also recruit more veteran sailors, the real Jiangnan is like a poem, a new beginning.
"There are two months to go until the end of the year, and another year has passed."
"That's right, after this year, Lang Jun will be eighteen years old, I don't know when we will be able to get married."
Changle's pair of big eyes stared at Li Yong, and he rarely said these words boldly, which made Li Yong very embarrassed.
"Ah, this, I'm going to see the dishes, why hasn't the meal been served for so long."
After Li Yong finished speaking, he wanted to make an excuse to get up, but he was dragged back by Changle, and looked at Li Yong with resentment and said.
"I know you're thinking about our bodies, but my father and mother have repeatedly written to me for more than a year, asking why we haven't moved yet, what do you want me to do?"
In ancient times, no queen is greater, as the wife of the main house has greater responsibility, don't say that you are exempt from responsibility as a princess, Li Yong is also a headache about this problem, he told his parents about this matter more than once, but they didn't listen to it at all, and the annoying family letter almost every month was to say the same thing, before Li Yong was busy taking care of this problem, but now he is finally free, this heir problem is infinitely magnified, and now this problem is no longer his own problem, The people in the two fiefdoms are also very concerned about this issue, Li Yong is about to vomit blood, and even the always steady Gao Gao has also mentioned it vaguely from time to time during this time, as soon as this issue is mentioned, the women in the family are staring at Li Yong like hungry wolves, and he is terrified.
"I tell you, don't look at me like this, it's useless to look at me, I said that when I reach the crown to round the house, we can't fail to keep our promises."
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you see, I said that he took us seriously, but pity that we are still busy for this family, and now we refuse to give us even a son and a half daughter, alas!"
Hearing Zheng Liwan adding fuel to the fire, Li Yong secretly said in his heart, I'll go, do I mean this? Why did you say it so well at the time, but it only took more than a year to change the hexagram? Li Yong hurriedly begged for mercy and said.
"Ladies, just spare me, it's really not good for you to have a child now, is it okay to wait?"
"It's not good, in addition to our parents, our father and mother have also urged us many times, saying that if we don't have any more children, we will come over, and you can do it yourself."
"No, listen to me, wait a minute, I haven't eaten yet......"
"Do it yourself."
Li Yong looked at the departing wives, dumbfounded, this group of girls who want children to die is really crazy, he can indeed have a round house now, but to have children, it is estimated that Zheng Liwan and Chunlan are the two of them, but they are as wives and concubines, before Changle was pregnant, it was impossible for them to have children, but Changle was only sixteen years old, and after this year, he was only seventeen years old, belonging to underage girls, not to mention pregnant, Li Yong felt that he couldn't stay at home, he decided to go out to hide for a while, so he ran to the naval barracks the next day, said that it was for training at sea next year, Liu Renliang almost believed it at first, but later found out that something was wrong, Li Yong didn't plan to go home at all, but lived directly in the barracks, and now it was his turn to have a big head.
"Liu Renliang, I'll ask you once, where did your boss go?"
"Ladies, just let me go, I really don't know where the boss is hiding, I saw him in the barracks yesterday."
Liu Renliang almost knelt down for the aunts and grandmothers, he never thought that his wise and martial boss came to the barracks to say that he was a lady hiding in the house, and none of these women were easy to mess with, one was a princess, the other was the county lord, Chunlan and Xiaoxue were almost identities, but they were the personal maids of the princess and the county lord, and there was a monster with a wisdom similar to his boss, Liu Renliang looked at Changle and them with a sad face begging for mercy, and they also knew that Liu Renliang would not betray Li Yong, So it's useless to ask him, Liu Renliang does know where Li Yong is, he is fighting artillery in the mountain behind the barracks at this time.
"It's okay, you just stay here, we'll wait for him here, I don't think he can come back, if you dare to ventilate him, hum."
Just thinking about how to report to Li Yong, when Changle said this, Liu Renliang could only give up this idea, and silently mourned for Li Yong, who was still playing with guns in the back mountain, Boss, I can't rely on me, I'm already benevolent enough, but I can't afford to mess with my sister-in-law, you can ask for more blessings, Li Yong, who had been shooting all morning, wanted to go back to the dormitory to take a nap after lunch in the cafeteria, and then go to the cannon in the afternoon, but when he returned to the dormitory and opened the door, the whole person was stunned, and then said the quintessence of the country "I" Then he turned around and ran, Changle wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Zheng Liwan.
"Sister Liwan, why are you holding me, let's not chase after me, Lang Jun doesn't know where to run."
"Sister Princess, don't worry, this is a military camp, we still have to give Lang Jun face, anyway, with such a big military camp, where can he go? Even if he hides in the city, can the monk run away from the temple? The only places he can go to are those few places, isn't it easy to block him? And have you forgotten, another problem with Lang Jun? ”
After Changle listened to Zheng Liwan's words, he stopped thinking about chasing them, and then said to Zheng Liwan with a sly smile.
"Sister is still smart, sisters, let's watch Lang Jun run over there."
A few women in Changle left the barracks with a smile, Liu Renliang was already scared by these girls in a cold sweat, thinking that he couldn't find any princesses in the future, let alone smart ones, otherwise the boss today would be tomorrow's self, Zheng Liwan said that Li Yong's other problem is that he is a road idiot, usually he is accompanied by a carriage or guards, he can't see it, this time he avoided the limelight and didn't take the carriage and the guards, he dared to go out of the barracks not long before he began to have a road dementia attack, Changle They sat in the carriage without hurrying, Then they found a comfortable place to sit down with a good view, and soon they saw Li Yong, as Zheng Liwan said, this thing began to turn in circles again in the southeast and northwest, and Changle also told Li Yong about the date with her in Chang'an City and got lost, which made the other women laugh and tremble.
"I'm laughing to death, I can't imagine that Lang Jun, who has no last resort, has such a problem."
"What the princess said is true, I also heard some old guards say this, every time Lang Jun used to go to Chang'an from Xishan, he could take them to other places, and then they really had no choice, so they tricked him into the carriage, otherwise they don't know how much they suffered."
"Actually, Lang Jun is also a big problem, look at it, Lang Jun has turned back again."
Several women looked out of the window, Li Yong kept scratching his head and looking around, obviously walking back to the same place, which made them laugh badly, because they had seen Li Yong turn around several times in one place, and they didn't go out, this is still Huating County, not Chang'an, the layout is not so complicated and big, so they can get lost, and they are speechless, Changle They really can't stand it, this shame is thrown there, they quickly asked the maid to bring Li Yong over, and when Li Yong challenged again, he was stopped by Changle's maid.
"Master Hou, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the other ladies are waiting for you over there, please come over."
Li Yong knew that he couldn't run away, so he could only follow the maid to Changle and them, he saw Changle and them laughing from a distance, he didn't have to guess what they were laughing at, he was sure that he was lost and was seen by them, and he had watched it for a long time, he had a feeling of being a monkey, and he took a cup of tea and drank it angrily.
"How long have you been here?"
Changle pretended to think while counting his fingers, and then innocently looked at Li Yong and replied.
"It didn't take long."
Li Yong had a feeling of being cared for and mentally retarded, so he sulked and didn't speak, because he was sure that these girls must have been here for a long time, and they also watched him perform, seeing Li Yong like this, the rest of the women couldn't help laughing, Li Yong's old face was red, shame, shame, they laughed for a while and really didn't have the strength to laugh, Zheng Liwan stood up and spoke.
"No, I'm laughing to death, my waist hurts with laughter, Lang Jun, you are so cute, you can get lost in such a place."
"Shut up."
Li Yong wanted to flee the scene, but he couldn't escape because he would still get lost.
"Well, come home with us, why are you running away from home? was known by others, and said that we were mean to you. ”
"That's right, Lang Jun come home with us, today Zhong Shao sent some deer blood and deer antlers, I have already made people stew, let's go home and drink soup."
Li Yong felt that he had entered the den of female bandits, how could one be more fierce than the other, deer blood and antler velvet, I don't know what else there is, such a big supplement doesn't want him to die, these women don't want to die in order to have children, he wants to escape, but he can't escape, Li Yong was forced to take it home, when he saw the table full of dishes, he felt like he was going to die, deer blood and antler soup, and all kinds of big tonic dishes, I won't report them one by one, Li Yong held the bowl with trembling hands under the eyes of all the women, Drinking the tonic soup and eating those dishes with tears, Changle and the others happily watched Li Yong finish eating the dishes on the table, and Li Yong hurriedly had something flowing out of his nose, Li Yong took a cold shower more than ten times that night, and he caught a cold directly for the second time, and the plan to need a child was interrupted by Li Yong in this extreme way, so Changle and Li Yong's battle of wits and courage officially began.
"Let me out, I'm going out~"
Li Yong grabbed the door and shouted at Changle who went to class and work, in order to prevent Li Yong from running around, his personal freedom was restricted, in their absence, he was not allowed to go out, those guards were also ordered by Changle, they saw Li Yong asking them for help, they could only treat it as if they didn't see it, this was too embarrassing, they couldn't offend both ends, they found Gundam and told him about it, Gundam listened to it for a while and then laughed.
"It's okay, it's okay, just listen to Madame's words, this is about the heir of the Hou Ye, you keep an eye on me."
Hearing about Li Yong's heirs, those guards were like beating chicken blood, since then, no matter how Li Yong begged, no one paid attention to him, he seemed to see those labor camps prisoners, he was a little better than them, he ate and lived very well, and his wife was by his side, but when it came to eating, since then, after Gundam spread the news that Li Yong was preparing to have an heir in Huating County, all kinds of food were sent to Li Yong's house, which was normal except for breakfast, and the other two meals were not eaten by people, That's just like he is a stallion animal, Li Yong thought in the house, this is not a way, he can't go out and can't get out, even if he comes out, he will be sent back because he gets lost, but it is not good to eat such a big tonic thing every day, not to mention that the impact does not affect development, eating these things like this, the body will not be able to bear it sooner or later, and it is not a way to take a cold shower every time, and this method cannot be commonly used, fighting a protracted war, he can't bear it, suddenly Li Yong had a flash of inspiration, and thought of a wonderful good idea.
"Hahaha, I'm so smart."
The guards guarding outside heard Li Yong laughing, and thought he was happy, and in the evening, after Changle and the others came back, Li Yong happily sat at the dinner table with them, Changle thought that Li Yong had figured it out to be so happy, and they were finally rewarded for their efforts, but Li Yong said.
"Before eating, I announced one thing, that is, I figured it out, the problem of the heir is indeed not my problem, it concerns many people, so I decided, in order not to violate the principle, let Liwan and Chunlan come first, because there is no problem with their age, okay, it was decided so happily, after eating, Liwan, you come first tonight?"
The women were not happy when they heard it, what is this about, Changle as the main house, it must be her first, let a flat wife and a concubine line up in front of her, even if Changle agrees, Zheng Liwan and Chunlan will not agree, these can stump them, but Li Yong is secretly happy, sample, I can't cure you anymore, if you want to play a protracted war with me, I will play internal division with you, saying that I unconsciously drank a big tonic soup, but these days it is natural to get used to it, Li Yong only cares about watching the excitement, and he doesn't realize that the atmosphere of the women is very weird, Zheng Liwan and Chunlan hurriedly explained.
"Sister Princess, we've never thought of it that way."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness Princess, if you don't have a round room with Lang Jun before, where do we dare to have a round room with Lang Jun first."
Changle didn't feel anything, but she was a little lost in her heart, she nodded and said.
"Eat first, and we'll talk about that later."
In this way, Li Yong escaped, and for several days, the women were not forcing Li Yong to eat these messy things, and he released them, Li Yong was like a prisoner who was released from prison, almost kneeling in the sun, he breathed the autumn air for a long time, and thought to himself that it was good to be alive, and finally free, and after regaining his freedom, he began to be a street walker again, either going out to sea to fish or wandering around, the newly established maritime yamen basically did not go, everything was handed over to Gao Gao and Zheng Liwan, he was a hands-off shopkeeper, Happy times are always short-lived, Zheng Liwan, who came back to her senses, found that she had fallen into Li Yong's plan, and then told her thoughts to Changle and several other sisters, these Li Yong's homes were fried, Li Yong was driven directly to the study to sleep, and none of the girls gave him a good look, now Li Yong is completely clean, but this purity is not right, if this continues, Li Yong will go crazy, he is used to being taken care of, no one pays attention to him, now he finally knows that being smart is being mistaken by being smart, he underestimated Zheng Liwan's wisdom and wisdom, What kind of thing is it to sow the evil fruit yourself, and you can only swallow it with tears? Li Yong only contained porridge in the bowl, as well as a few plates of pickles in front of him, and then a few women ate big fish and meat, and from time to time said how this dish tasted, the angry Li Yong people were going crazy, he had been eating porridge for three days, according to Changle and their words, he just didn't force him to eat these big tonic dishes, eat something light, good for him, where is this for him, he has eaten this thing for several days, his face is hungry and green, and he wants to rub rice outside, but he was told by Changle that in the entire Huating County, no one took him in, even if someone took him in, it was also a green vegetable porridge match, Li Yong finally knows how terrible these women are, no wonder the saints say that only villains and women are difficult to raise, Li Yong now has a deep understanding.
"Am I wrong, okay? Give a piece of meat to eat. ”
"Lang Jun, I can't give you these, when the time comes, you have to take a cold shower again, and if you accidentally catch a cold again, then our sisters will be to blame."
"No, you can't eat a piece of meat."
"Hey, Lang Jun, it's not us talking about you, it's also for the sake of you keeping your promise, right?"
Damn, I'm Li Yong, I'm planted, how can I say that I can't listen to it?
"Ladies, it's not that I don't want to, now that you're too young to get pregnant, what if you have a difficult birth or something? You're all sweethearts. ”
Li Yong has no choice, only to play the emotional card, but Changle They are iron-hearted, don't underestimate the perseverance of women, their willpower is often stronger than that of men, seeing the unmoved women, it is simply soft and hard not to eat, Li Yong is really out of line, if he eats porridge like this for a few more days, he will not starve to death and have no strength, he has been forced by these crazy women to have no way out.
"Lang Jun is not that we have to force you like this, we know that you are for the sake of our body, but you also understand us, as a woman can not give birth to an heir for her husband, this kind of sin none of us can afford, people who know naturally understand Lang Jun's good intentions, people who don't know, think that we have no children, and even say Lang Jun You have a problem, people are terrible, we have also asked Xishan Hospital, now they can do caesarean section, under their surgery, many women with difficult births have given birth safely, So we thought, even if we had a difficult birth, wouldn't there still be Xishan Hospital? Lang Jun, don't think about it too much, I hope you can think about our sisters. ”
Zheng Liwan was moved by emotion, Xiaozhi reasoned with reason and Li Yong said, Li Yong also thought deeply, various surgeries in Xishan Hospital have begun to practice, and many surgeries have been very mature, including caesarean section, Li Yong thought about whether he was too selfish, after all, he was the Tang Dynasty, and it was common to have children at the age of thirteen in this era, of course, Li Yong did not support this kind of careless approach to human life, but he still couldn't accept having a child at the age of seventeen, because this age was a minor for him, he thought about it and said.
"I understand what you said, and I understand what you think, this time has indeed wronged you, Liwan is right, I should think more about you, think about you in my body, so I decided to cancel the agreement with Guancai Yuanfang."
Changle's eyes glowed green when they heard this, and they couldn't wait to directly correct him on the spot, Li Yong hurriedly continued.
"But, eighteen years old, Changle to eighteen years old, this is the age of my compromise, if you agree, then wait a year, if not, we will continue to consume."
Hearing that she had to wait for a year, Changle was a little reluctant, she looked at Zheng Liwan, Zheng Liwan thought for a while, and nodded to her, just like that, Li Yong's agreement with them changed, and Li Yong was also appointed, let it be, maybe there will be any changes in a year, if you can delay it, you can't drag it out, then that's it, this is already the best result.
