Chapter 85

The news that the general's wife gave birth to Lin'er safely during the Lantern Festival yesterday spread all over the capital the next day as if she had grown wings. People who are close to the general's mansion asked their disciples to send gifts to the general's mansion to express their congratulations.

The butler of the General's Mansion received one group after another of guests early in the morning. Although he was too busy to touch the ground, he was in good spirits.From top to bottom, everyone in the general's mansion was beaming with joy, and they all worked hard—because the young master was born, the happy old lady doubled the reward, and everyone who got the reward would work hard.

And Yu Yuezhuo in the court hall was also surrounded by many colleagues to congratulate him, no matter whether they were civil servants or military officials, no matter whether they were in different political camps, they all sold him face at this time and came to say congratulations to him.Yu Yuezhuo also bowed their hands in return one by one, and invited them to the General's Mansion to participate in Xiao Baozi's full moon banquet in a month's time.

Although everyone was talking and laughing on their faces, they were somewhat thoughtful in their hearts.Although the assassination in the general's mansion yesterday was suppressed immediately, the news still leaked out, and some interested people got a rough idea of ​​it, and couldn't help thinking whether the sudden birth of the general's wife had something to do with it.Of course, those who thought more deeply also began to figure out the identities of those assassins, and then started conspiracy theories.

Yu Yuezhuo's demeanor is gentle, and his words are gentle. Everyone who knows him has to admit that this is the least military general in history. He is even more refined than a bachelor of literature who has read a lot of poetry and books. .But it was such a person who didn't look like a general who led troops to break through the North Vietnamese royal court and became a great hero in the hearts of the people of Great Chu.And such a person, in the careful temptation of everyone, resolved their questions skillfully one by one, so that people could not find out the truth, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Could it be that they, the old foxes who have been in the officialdom for most of their lives, still can't test you A martial artist can't do it?
Only King Su on the side was expressionless, Wen Liang covered his lips with a fan and snickered, watching as if he was inadvertently being tricked by a man who should be as magnanimous as a bright moon.

It wasn't until the eunuch announced the morning court that everyone left and returned to their positions one by one.

After the morning court, Yu Yuezhuo walked into the Zichen Hall together with King Su and Wen Liang, and blocked all suspicious eyes from outside the hall.

Not long after Yu Yuezhuo went to court, Ah Meng woke up.

Waking up after a nap, Ah Meng was full of energy, her face was radiant after sweeping away her postpartum slump. If she hadn't been confinement now, she would have wished to jump outside a few times.After freshening up, Ah Meng didn't have time to fill her stomach. The first thing she did was to have someone bring her hard-earned little bun.

Zhixia sighed at someone who was so excited that he almost forgot about his stomach problems, but he obediently ordered the nanny to bring over the little bun who was sleeping in the small room outside.It was the weather in January, and it was still freezing outside. Ah Meng disagreed with the little bun living too far away from his parents, so he bargained with Yu Yuezhuo to let the little bun live in the outer wing. It is convenient for her to visit.

In fact, according to Ah Meng's modern thinking, the children born by themselves are naturally taken care of and fed by themselves, and the children will be healthy if they drink breast milk.But the ancients felt that as a general's wife, it would be demeaning to raise the child by herself, and the mistress was busy with the affairs of the mansion, so she couldn't take care of her.Therefore, before Xiao Baozi was born, Yu Yuezhuo was extremely opposed to Ah Meng being so caring about Xiao Baozi when it came to the child's affairs. Can't bear the load.

However, those are still things that happened when the little bun was not born. Ah Meng is a time-conscious person. Her favorite thing to do is to go straight when the boat arrives at the bridge. When and what to do, no matter how angry a certain general is, let’s talk about it after doing it .

"Miss, aren't you hungry? Let's eat something first." Zhichun brought the tray over, and put a chicken soup made by an old hen on it.

The smell of chicken soup diffused in the air, and when it entered the nostrils, it evoked a stream of saliva.At this time, Ah Meng felt very hungry. Although she ate something before going to bed yesterday, because she was too excited, she didn't eat much and couldn't bear the hunger. After waking up this time, she was naturally very hungry. .

Zhichun presented Ah Meng with a bowl of chicken soup, while she was drinking it, the nanny had already brought over the little bun who had just drank milk.

Ah Meng didn't care about filling her stomach anymore, after drinking half a bowl of soup, she put it down, and beckoned the nanny to bring the little bun over.When she took over the little guy who was smacking his mouth, there was an indescribable kindness and tenderness in her heart, which was a feeling she had never felt before.

After one night, Xiao Baozi's reddish complexion has become much whiter, and the wrinkled skin has also become smoother. It still looks like a small face, small nose and small mouth, eyebrows that are too pale to be seen, and eyes that are still squinting. It is estimated that it will take two days to fully open, but the lanugo hair on the small head is black and soft.

Like all women who are mothers for the first time in the world, Ah Meng feels that she can’t get enough of it. Even a strand of the little bun’s hair is good, and her son’s small mouth makes her feel cute. I was so happy to be silly with the little bun.

Just when Ah Meng was being silly, the servants came to report that Mrs. Luo Yushi—her stepmother Xing Shi and her stepsister Luo Yusha came to visit her.

Ah Meng twisted her mouth, Xing Shi must have been driven over by her excited father to visit her, after all, she is in confinement and it is not convenient to see people.As for the step-sister Luo Yusha, most of the people in the General's Mansion know who her target is.

After more than a year of marriage, Ah Meng no longer has the idea of ​​wanting to confront Xing and her two younger siblings. To put it in an embarrassing way, she has upgraded and her mentality has changed. Go do something childish.

In fact, I can't blame her for reacting to those things, no matter before or after leaving the cabinet, the world of women is inherently small, so it's easy to stir up trouble if there are several women with pimples living in one-third of an acre of land.When Ah Meng was still immersed in the grief of losing her mother, Xing Shi married over. After Xing Shi became pregnant, she felt that her waist could be straightened, so Xing Shi had the courage to start always raising eyebrows and vertical eyes at Ah Meng. It is not pleasing to the eye, and even secretly trips up and puts eye drops on Luo's father. Even a simple person will know how to protect himself after being punished a few times, and then the backyard of the Luo family began to fight with no technical content. In the end, it was because of Luo's father's eccentricity and Ah Meng's crow's mouth that she became the winner, severely hurting Xing Shi and others.However, since she got married, the focus of her life has revolved around her husband's family, and her mentality will inevitably change a little bit. Besides, she is a married daughter, and she doesn't live under the same roof with Mr. Xing and the others. There is no need to face each other every day. A nasty villain.

Therefore, Ah Meng's mentality has changed, and she no longer hates the Xing family and her two siblings who can no longer blatantly find fault with her.

But Ah Meng doesn't mind, it doesn't mean Xing and the others don't mind.

It can be said that the Xing family will probably be oppressed by Ah Meng's deceased mother for the rest of her life, living in the shadow of Ah Meng's mother, how can she look at Ah Meng pleasingly.Still the same old saying, the living will never be able to beat the dead, because in the eyes of the living, all the shortcomings of the dead are beautified into advantages, and only the beauty in memory remains.Father Luo is such an example, so how can the Xing family be reconciled?I believe that no woman will be happy that there is still a woman living in her husband's heart, even if that person is dead.

Therefore, the Xing family does not like to see the daughter left by her husband's ex-wife. Whenever she sees this stepdaughter, it will remind her of the original wife who is kept in her heart by her husband, and let her know that no matter how hard she works in her life, she will be inferior to her. How can you not feel sad about the dead woman?What is even more sad may be the husband's eccentric view of the stepdaughter. No matter how well her children are doing, as long as the stepdaughter cries for pain, the husband will be pulled over soon.After this, if the Xing family can still wait to see Ah Meng, she will be a saint.

When Mrs. Xing came in, she saw her stepdaughter teasing the child with a loving expression on her face. This made both Mrs. Xing and Luo Yusha stunned, as if they never thought that such an annoying young lady would also With this kind of expression, what made them even more uncomfortable was that when they saw them coming, the eldest lady smiled at them and called them over.

It's not the kind of smiley expression, but a very natural smile.

Luo Yusha didn't feel anything yet, but Xing's heart was already full of alarm bells. She didn't understand why this annoying young lady laughed like this, so she subconsciously became vigilant.

"Mother, sister, this is my son, come and see, does he look like his father?" Ah Meng sat on the bed, holding the child higher so that the two people beside the bed could see clearly.

The mother and daughter of the Xing family took a look and agreed with this statement very much. It seems that this child has inherited the general's good looks and will be an extraordinary handsome man in the future.And the two of them were also grateful at the same time, fortunately the child was not like this young lady, nor was he so annoying.

After looking at the baby, Ah Meng put the sleeping bun next to her, patted the baby once and for all, and chatted with Mrs. Xing and the others.After talking for a while, Luo Yusha couldn't sit still any longer, and on the grounds of going outside to get some fresh air, after getting permission, she hurriedly went to the east courtyard where Yan Lichen lived.

Xing looked at her daughter's back with a pensive gaze.

How can a mother not notice the strangeness of her daughter, especially in the past six months, her daughter has reversed her dislike for Ah Meng in the past and frequently ran to the general's mansion, which taught her to be vigilant.But her daughter didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and Ah Meng was still in the general's mansion, so she wasn't worried about what would happen, so she didn't want to be too constrained by her daughter.

But soon, Luo Yusha came back, and with Luo Yusha was Yu Yuejuan, the sister-in-law who came to visit her nephew.

Glancing at Luo Yusha who couldn't hide her frustrated expression, Ah Meng laughed unkindly in her heart.Since Yan Lichen was "responsible" for his appearance, he didn't live in the general's mansion very much, but the wing room of the general's mansion was still reserved for him, and he could live there as he liked.Sometimes Yan Lichen would go back to the General's Mansion after being chased away by his face.But yesterday she heard that Yan Lichen left with Rongyan, and he hasn't come back yet, so Luo Yuzhang naturally missed out.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to see my little nephew." Yu Yuejuan said with a smile on her face, and then bowed to Mrs. Xing, "I've met Mrs. Luo."

When Xing Shi saw Yu Yuejuan, who was beautiful and beautiful, his face was filled with kindness: "It's Yuejuan, I haven't seen her for a while, she looks even more beautiful."

Yu Yuejuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Mrs. Luo is too much for the prize, but sister Yusha is the one who grows more beautiful."

Although Yu Yuejuan and Luo Yusha hated each other because of a common reason—Ameng—they were both little girls, and the hatred was not great, and since Luo Yusha fell in love with Yan Lichen at first sight, she often ran to the general's mansion, going back and forth Yes, and also have some friendship with Yu Yuejuan.

However, the Xing family is now more and more satisfied with Yu Yuejuan, remembering that her natal family has a nephew who has reached marriageable age, and looking at Tingting Yuli's general sister, she feels more and more that they are very suitable for each other.Her natal family's family situation is not bad, although it is not a famous family with a lot of background, but it has been running well in the past ten years, and it is also well-known in Beijing, so it is worthy of the General's Mansion.If her mother's family can climb up to the in-laws of the General's Mansion, it will also be of great help to her family, no matter how you look at it, it is a good marriage.

But it's hard to talk about this kind of thing at the moment, Xing decided to find an opportunity to discuss it with her natal family, analyze the pros and cons, and then discuss it with Ameng.She believed that with Ah Meng's annoying temper, she might be happy to marry off her sister-in-law who was always against her.

The mother and daughter of the Xing family stayed for the whole morning, and they didn't leave until Yu Yuezhuo came back from court.

As soon as Xingshi and Luo Yusha came out of Suolan Courtyard, they saw Yu Yuezhuo in court clothes and Yan Lichen in orange clothes walking towards them. Behind them, there was a young woman in the clothes of a female official from the Medical Women's Bureau .

Seeing them, Luo Yusha's eyes lit up instantly, and her eyes were fixed on Yan Lichen and couldn't move away.

Although she hates Ah Meng as her stepdaughter, Xing Shi is not a really stupid person, so she naturally doesn't hate this general's son-in-law, but sighs why such a good son-in-law didn't marry her Yusha.After thinking about it, Xing looked back at his daughter, saw her eyes fixed on the front, followed her gaze, and when he found out who her daughter was paying attention to, Xing's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed slightly.

"Why is your mother-in-law here today?" Yu Yuezhuo asked with a smile.

Mrs. Xing also had a smile all over her face, resisting her daughter's anxiety, and said kindly: "Knowing that Ah Meng has given birth to a young master for the general, my master is very happy, why don't you let me come over early in the morning to see sister Yin My son and little grandson can go back and talk to him."

"My father-in-law is worried. It's also my son-in-law's fault. I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to ask someone to come over to tell me."

"It doesn't matter, general, you are a busy person, as long as you have the heart, my master doesn't mind."

After exchanging some pleasantries, and then talking about the child, Xing praised the child very bluntly, and then said with a smile: "This child looks like you, the general, and he looks like a handsome boy. He will definitely be with the general in the future." Generally young and promising... By the way, have you named the child yet?"

Hearing Mr. Xing's words, Yan Lichen, who was a little careless at first, and the medical girl standing quietly in the background all cast strange glances over.Xing was a little apprehensive, not knowing which sentence he said was wrong, and why the expressions of those two people were so...subtle.

Yu Yuezhuo was still smiling, and replied gently: "I haven't chosen a big name yet, I want to ask the elders in the family to help me choose a good name. But I have already chosen a nickname, called Zai Zai."

"Zaizai? Oh, ah, it's pretty good." Xing felt that the nickname was really strange, but it was chosen by the father of the child, and she couldn't say anything, so she didn't ask the real meaning of the nickname for a while.

Hearing her words, Yu Yuezhuo glanced at Yan Lichen and the two in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Very well, it seems that my mother-in-law thinks so too. I think Ah Meng will definitely like it."

"..."

Xing didn't know why the general wanted to ask her, and he felt that there was something tricky in it, and the nickname was really not good, so he could only agree with it with a dry smile.
