Chapter 199 The first snow of the twelfth year of Wanli

March time has passed in a hurry.

In an instant, time came to the twelfth year of ten thousand years, which was the second year that Zhang Yun came to this world.

In the past March, Zhang Yun has really done a lot.

On the one hand, we have to grasp the training of the Changning Army, and we have to care about the news of Qingdao, of course, the mass production of flintlock pistols naturally cannot be left behind.

After Zhang Yun's enlightenment, Xu Yu's relationship with Li Xingyue is getting better and better, and he just got married last month, and now he is in the honeymoon period.

In the twelfth year of Wanli, the weather in Beijing was slightly cool.

In the early morning of the same day, Lu Chen woke up from the bed, quickly dressed and got up, and then pushed open the door.

What catches your eye is a world of ice and snow.

There are still snowflakes in the sky, the eaves are covered with last night's snow, the bamboo is bent over by the wind and snow, and a few cold plums in the corner of the wall are blooming proudly.

"Ahh

Then, I hurriedly returned to the house and added two more thick clothes.

"Alas, this winter in Beijing is really cold." Zhang Yun was wrapped in a padded jacket and couldn't help complaining.

But looking at the weather, he was interested.

Then he called the people in the house and commanded the two of them.

"Go, call Han Cheng and Zhao Hu to me."

"Go get me some lamb again."

The family listened to the order, and hurriedly did so, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

About thirty minutes later, Zhang Yun and the two of them sat in the pavilion and ate mutton shabu.

The heat bubbling in the pot dispelled the cold from the three of them.

"Whew." Zhao Hu picked up a large piece of mutton, blew two mouthfuls of cold air, and then swallowed it in a big gulp.

Immediately after eating, he stretched out his chopsticks and continued to put them into the pot.

"You leave some for Lao Tzu, you foodie." Zhang Yun tapped his head and scolded with a smile.

Zhao Hu smiled, but the movements in his hands did not slow down in the slightest.

Zhang Yun looked at the mutton that was gradually empty, and had to reluctantly call someone to go and get some more.

"It's such a beautiful view, let's have a toast." Zhang Yun raised his glass.

Han Cheng and Zhao Hu hurriedly followed.

After the three of them clinked glasses, they drank it all.

"Rest now, we'll be busy in the next year." After a glass of wine, Zhang Yun smiled.

The two nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Han Cheng prepared Zhang Yun to report on his work.

"Stop."

"It's hard to have a day off, let's not talk about business today." Zhang Yun hurriedly called a halt.

Finally met this weather, and after a day off, of course he just wanted to put it on a good show.

Han Cheng smiled after hearing this, and then stopped speaking.

It was Zhao Hu, who had been steadily outputting, and only when Zhang Yun called for wine did he raise his head and clink glasses with them.

The snow was still drifting, and the three of them were eating hot pot and drinking hot wine in the pavilion floating in the heavy snow, so happy.

The little gathering lasted for a long time, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Separate!" After drinking and eating, Zhao Hu touched his stomach, wiped his mouth and then burped.

provoked Zhang Yun to be disgusted for a while.

Han Cheng saw that it was getting late, and he had to go back quickly after coming out for a day.

"My lord, then we will leave." The two of them arched their hands to Zhang Yun and said.

"Well, go ahead."

The two saluted Zhang Yun again, and then slowly retreated in the wind and snow, leaving only a series of footprints.

Zhang Yun watched the two retreat, slowly got up and walked towards the house.

At this time, Xu Xi was chatting with Zhang Yun's mother.

Mother Zhang saw Zhang Yun walk in, with a slight reproach on her face, and scolded: "Your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and you don't know how to accompany her." ”

Zhang Yun smiled awkwardly, and then hurriedly sat down beside Xu Xi.

"If you can hand over the things outside to the people below, you will leave them to the people below."

"You are also an official now, and you can do everything you need to be an official." Mother Zhang continued.

"Yes, yes, Mother said yes." Zhang Yun touched his head and hurriedly agreed.

"Poof." Xu Xi laughed out loud when he saw Zhang Yun's embarrassed appearance.

"Then you talk to yourself, I'll go to sleep first." Zhang's mother made an excuse and left the house.

Zhang Yun saluted respectfully to his mother, and only then did he raise his head when her vision disappeared.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Xu Xi looking at him with a smile on his face.

Zhang Yun saw that she was pregnant, and she couldn't do anything bad, so she could only slowly help her to the bed.

Xu Xi *** was lying on the bed with a big belly, and his mobility was extremely inconvenient.

Zhang Yun pressed his head against her stomach, and at this time he seemed to be able to hear the baby's breathing.

Xu Xi stroked Zhang Yun's back with his jade hand.

After a long time, Zhang Yun slowly got up and looked at Xu Xi with a smirk.

"Silly." Xu Xi scolded with a smile.

"Lady, you are so beautiful." Zhang Yun stroked Xu Xi's cheek with his hand and exclaimed softly.

"I'm fat now, and it's beautiful there."

"It's beautiful anyway."

"Was that beautiful before, or is it beautiful now?"

Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly changed the topic: "The moon is good tonight, and the wind is gentle. ”

"Speak quickly!" Xu Xi accentuated his voice.

"Pretty now?"

"Then I wasn't pretty before?"

"Pretty before that?"

"I knew you would be disgusted that I was ugly."

Zhang Yun: "......"

Zhang Yun knew that this problem was to send a proposition.

Then, after Zhang Yun's half an hour's appeasement, he passed the test in confusion.

"Could it be that a pregnant woman's IQ will really decrease?"

"She wasn't like that before." Zhang Yun secretly slandered in his heart.

"What are you thinking there? Don't come up and sleep yet. Xu Xi saw that Zhang Yun was secretly stunned, and hurriedly urged.

"Oh, I'll do it."

Zhang Yun carried Xu Xi to the inside of the bed, then took off his padded jacket and got into the quilt.

The two hugged each other and slept together, Zhang Yun sniffed the fragrance on Xu Xi's body, and fell asleep after a while.

Because Xu Xi was pregnant with a fetus, she couldn't sleep for a long time, and even felt a dull pain.

In the middle of the night, she felt that she couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly shook Zhang Yun.

"Husband, husband."

Zhang Yun woke up from his sleep.

Immediately, I saw Xu Xi's face pale, and cold sweat broke out on his head.

"Lady, you won't give birth, will you?"

Xu Xi nodded painfully.

Zhang Yun bounced up directly from the bed, regardless of the lack of clothes, and ran straight towards the midwife's residence barefoot.

"Quick, my wife is going to give birth, give me quickly." Zhang Yun shouted breathlessly.

The midwife had delivered many babies and was not surprised by this situation.

"Don't worry, old man, let's take a look."

"You go and greet the next person first, and get the hot water ready."

Zhang Yun nodded again and again, and then asked someone to wake up the maids.

Suddenly, the originally dark Zhang Mansion was instantly lit up.

There are constantly maids shuttling among them, changing the hot water for Xu Xi.

"Ahh Yes! Ahh In Xu Xi's house, Xu Xi's cry of joy continued to be heard.

A midwife and a few maids waited by her window.

Several maids had seen this kind of scene there, and they were all trembling with fright.

"Shake something, hold it for me." The midwife shouted coldly.

The maid endured the fear in her heart and handed hot water and a clean cloth to the midwife.

"Madam, try harder, harder, and you'll be coming out soon." The midwife urged.

Hearing this, Xu Xi made a louder sound, and his upper body left the pillow, his face flushed.

Zhang Yun heard Xu Xi's screams outside, and he was so anxious that he wanted to rush in several times.

Mother Zhang stopped him and said coldly: "You are not a midwife, a woman gives birth to a child, you can only help when you go in." ”

"Yes, uncle, she has to pass this level by herself." Xu Xi's mother echoed.

"Hey!" Zhang Yun smashed his fist on the beam, and then found a step to sit on.

"Woo woo wow ......" Suddenly, a baby's cry was heard inside.

Zhang Yun was overjoyed, sat down on the stairs and walked to the door.

"Congratulations, congratulations, my lord, it's a daughter." The midwife walked out of it with the baby in her arms, and then walked in again.

"Good, good." Zhang Yun was full of smiles and said three good words in a row.

Hearing that it was a girl, Zhao Yue and Zhang's mother showed a trace of disappointment on their faces, but it was fleeting.

"Woo woo wow ......"

Suddenly, there was another burst of baby crying from inside.

The midwife walked out with the child in her arms and laughed loudly: "My lord, it's a dragon and phoenix fetus, congratulations." ”

She has delivered babies for so many years, and she has not met many dragon and phoenix fetuses.

Hearing that it was a dragon and phoenix fetus, Zhao Yue and Zhang's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hahaha... Good, good, good. ”

"Come, show me a reward, and take the princess to the treasury to receive 100 taels of silver." Zhang Yun commanded loudly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." The midwife hurriedly smiled and saluted.

Zhang Yun didn't entangle with her either, and walked in directly.

ran straight to Xu Xi's bed.

When I walked to the bed, I saw Xu Xi sweating profusely, the quilt behind him was soaked with sweat, his hair was scattered, and his face was weak.

Zhang Yun sat in front of the bed, straightened her messy hair, and said gently: "Lady, you have worked hard. ”

"Yes, Xi'er, you are now a great hero of the Zhang family." Mother Zhang echoed.

Xu Xi listened to the praise, and a blush appeared on his face.

"I want to see the kids." Xu Xi said weakly.

"Good, good." Zhang Yun hurriedly asked people to wash the blood stains on the child's body and brought it to Xu Xi.

Xu Xi looked at the two children with a doting smile on his face.

"Husband, you can choose a name for your child."

Zhang Yun thought for a while, and then said: "The girl's name is Zhang Zhu, the pearl of my palm." ”

Xu Xi nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "What about the boy?" ”

"Zhang Fan." Zhang Yun said slowly.

"I want him to be a *** mortal."

Xu Xi frowned slightly, it was obvious that she didn't like the name.

Mother Zhang directly retorted: "How can a boy be *** mortal, besides, your son will inherit your title in the future." ”

"It's too stingy to call Zhang Fan."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Uncle, why don't you change it?" Zhao Yue echoed.

"Then let's call Zhang Liang." Zhang Yun couldn't resist them, so he had to speak helplessly.

"Husband, you are so perfunctory, how do you use the names of the ancients." Xu Xi chuckled.

Zhang Yun said cheekily: "Who said that only Zhang Zifang can be called Zhang Liang, what is wrong with my son's name." ”

Xu Xi smiled and didn't speak.
