The head of the family was worshiped as Taiwei, and the mistress was overjoyed. She ordered the Taiwei Mansion to set up running water mats for seven days, and anyone who said "congratulations" could come and have a meal!
Not only to celebrate the head of the family, but also to pray for the children in the mother's womb.
Not only the Taiwei's Mansion, but the entire Jia family is now in a carnival mood. Jia Zhen and Jia She even accompany the Taiwei's Mansion to set up a seven-day flowing banquet.
There is no other reason than that I have a really big backer, so happy!
Even the cooks were not very happy. They worked three shifts in seven days and almost died on the spot.
However, the wages and silver rewards given are still very generous, and it is not worth mentioning if it is just a hard work.
But this has nothing to do with Jia Zhu returning to the study to study.
This year's Spring Festival has been postponed to February 19th for various reasons. It is only four days away from Spring Festival, and he will try his best to rush towards a high ranking!
Otherwise, there would be no way to marry Li Peilan, the niece of the first assistant Li Yan in the second half of this year.
. . . . . .
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, this is beautiful!" Tan Chun held up a fiery red coral to show Li Wan.
In the back garden of the Taiwei Mansion, Li Wan and a few children were playing with the rare treasures that Jia Hui had brought back.
With a big belly and limited mobility, Li Wan had some fun by opening blind boxes without looking at the list when he was bored during these times.
Li Wan was also surprised when he took the red coral from Tan Chun's hand. He gestured and found that it was no bigger than a palm, so he turned to look at Tan Chun and said with a smile.
"It's true, it just doesn't have the big one that came out yesterday. If you like it, tell your sister-in-law, and she will string beads on your car and wear it!"
"Sister-in-law, this is too valuable, Tanchun can't have it," Tanchun quickly refused.
Just kidding, if he really strings beads on his car, then both the master and his wife will have to tell him, let alone if his aunt finds out.
"Nothing, just think of it as a thank you gift from Tan Jie'er for staying with my sister-in-law these days."
"Sister-in-law, I really can't have it."
Even if you want it, it can’t be yours!
"Okay." Seeing Tanchun's firm attitude, Li Wan put the red coral into another small box.
Seeing the desire hidden deep in Tanchun's eyes, Li Wan decided to add this to the dowry he would give to Tanchun in the future.
It's just a piece of red coral no bigger than a palm.
Of the four daughters of this generation of the Jia family, Yuanchun is a talented one. She is now a princess and will even be a queen in the future.
Needless to say, Yingchun was the only biological sister of the imperial prince at that time. After leaving the imperial court, she would be considered married to the legitimate son of a minister.
Although Xichun has a lower status because she is the daughter of a second-grade general, most of the founding nobles are on the same level as Ning Guofu, and no one can laugh at anyone. As the only legitimate daughter of the Jia family's eldest clan, Ning Guofu, her future wife should be the legitimate grandson of the eldest son of each family. Xichun wanted to be the patriarch of a certain family.
There is only Tanchun, and Tanchun's status is still low. Now that the first and second bedrooms are not separated, she can still be regarded as a concubine of the Duke's mansion. But if the old lady separates her family a hundred years later, it will be even lower. She is just a fifth-rank official. Just a concubine.
Although Taiwei's choice still has a certain influence on Tanchun's marriage, it is only influential. The final decision maker is Tanchun's biological father Jia Zheng.
Therefore, the one who most needed a dowry to increase his social status was Tanchun.
"Sister-in-law, look!" A soft and weak voice came, and Yingchun held out something as big as a thumb knuckle in both hands.
"Ah, what a big golden-green cat eye."
Li Wan picked up the golden-green cat's eye with gleaming eyes and looked at it carefully.
As if something suddenly occurred to him, he put it on Yingchun's chest and made a few gestures.
"Well, give Sister Ying a pair of necklaces?"
Then he traced the gems on both sides of Yingchun's head.
"Or should I give Sister Ying a piece of walking?"
Li Wan has been overflowing with motherly love these days, and he likes to think about giving jewelry to a few little girls.
"Sister-in-law, why is the hem of your skirt wet?" He lowered his head shyly, and suddenly found that the hem of Li Wan's skirt had changed color, as if a glass of water had been poured on it.
"Water? Water!"
Li Wan was startled and quickly turned to greet the maid and woman standing not far away:
"Quick, the amniotic water broke!"
. . . . . .
"Well, don't tell me, there are indeed a lot of crimes on the street!"
In the Tianzi No. 1 box of Jiaofangsi Theater, Jia Hui and a group of old brothers came to watch Jiaofangsi's latest dance. But as we chatted, we ended up talking about spring a few days later.
In fact, we came to see a play, but the protagonist of today's play, Hua Guan, accidentally caught a cold yesterday, so we changed to a lot of dances.
It doesn't matter, anyway, these old brothers are here to discuss things, and everything is the same.
Suck!
"Yes, Brother Zhu will take the exam in a few days. According to him, he should be able to get a good rank in the exam."
Jia Hui said while holding the teacup.
"There are several people in my family who are going to take the exam, but they all have to take the exam so hard. I think I will fail in this subject." Liu Yun shook his head.
"Not necessarily. Jiangnan suffered a military disaster this time. These local officials are all lords. They are the main targets of the White Lotus Sect. Hehe, I guess not many of them are alive."
"That makes sense. Then wouldn't this free up a lot of places?"
"The quota belongs to the quota. If he doesn't have enough red circles on the roll, it will be useless even if the quota is placed in front of him." Shi Yuanxiu came out to spoil the fun.
"By the way, brother, I heard that some people in the world are really trying to rob you?" Niu Zhao, who was drooling while looking at the stage, suddenly turned around and asked.
"Yes, it was the first time that almost 6,000 thieves attacked my 3,000 Suzaku cavalry."
"Hahahaha! Six thousand people attacked the Suzaku Cavalry? Is it true or false?"
"Even 6,000 regular infantrymen can't defeat 3,000 frontier cavalry. How dare these gangsters?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I heard from Lin Chong that they all rushed over at once, and they didn't even have a formation."
"Isn't that right? Didn't I hear that they have the Big Dipper Formation, the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation, and the Seven Ultimate Formation?" Shui Che didn't believe it. In the stories about rivers and lakes that he had heard since he was a child, there were often scenes of one man fighting alone. Something like a formation from a certain sect.
"Think about it from another angle. One person in his formation can find a flaw and break it. How about a three thousand cavalry charge that can't break it?"
"No way, then why does every sect have a formation of some sort, which is known as the unique skill of the sect?"
"Just listen to this. If this formation is really useful, can you still be taught in the army? Our army would have come to ask for confiscation. I have never heard of a certain sect's suppression What kind of formation is extremely powerful, and was introduced into the army by someone?"
"That's right"
"What about the second wave? Weren't you and our aunt also robbed by those Jianghu people?"
"Hey, just talking about it makes me angry, that stupid Dongchang"
"No, no, no, brother, haven't Duke Dai already apologized to you? You are not afraid of them, but your brothers are not as big as you and cannot bear it!"
"Hmph, okay."
Jia Hui curled his lips, picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in one gulp.
"Those two thousand people didn't actually rush over in one go. They were led by a few leading brothers and divided into several sharp formations to rush over. However, it was useless. They didn't even have armor and they dared to attack the cavalry? They were killed on the spot. Those leading brothers were beaten to death!
The identities of those Jianghu people were almost identified a few days ago. Yesterday, Mr. Dai also sent me a list, which really opened my eyes.
Disciples of Shaolin lay disciples, disciples of Wudang lay disciples, demons of the devil's path, members of the Changsun family, Xiao family, members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, members of the Duandao Sect, many sporadic sects in the North, heroes who have become famous in the world, and even some who make a living on the Yangtze River The giant whale helps the sea dragon gang!
There are more heroes and sects than the Huashan Sword Forum that takes place every ten years. It can be said to be a once-in-a-hundred-year grand event in the world of Daqi. It’s as if you’re not a member of the world if you don’t participate.
By the way, are you interested in traveling across the world? "
Jia Hui suddenly sat up straight and looked at his brothers with burning eyes.
"A horse tramples on the rivers and lakes?" This word made several people's hearts stir.
"Yes, it has been more than a century since the Meng Pupo murder case in the reign of Emperor Taizong. In anger, Emperor Taizong sent the border troops south to wash out the rivers and lakes for more than a century, right? The rivers and lakes may have forgotten the power of the imperial army."
In the twelfth year of Emperor Taizong's reign, Ba Daomen and Duanyue Villa, the top forces in the world at that time, merged in Mengpupo. The war spread to Mengpupo and four surrounding villages, all of which were massacred by both sides. Pedestrians were even affected and suffered numerous deaths and injuries.
Taizong was furious. On the grounds of poor supervision, the commander of the Xiuyi Guards and other senior officials below were executed.
At the same time, the nine-border frontier army was mobilized southward to the Jianghu, and Ba Daomen and Duanyue Villa were massacred, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.
Seventy percent of those sects that had survived the chaos of the late Liang Dynasty were directly wiped out, and the remaining thirty percent were just hanging on, never having the glory of the past.
Most of the current mainstream Jianghu sects developed after that, such as the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
The East Factory was also established at this time, specifically to monitor Jianghu affairs.
"Okay, it's okay to just idle around in the capital camp anyway. As long as you can get what you want, brother, I will let you do whatever you want with the rest of the brothers!"
"Isn't this a bit messy? After all, this is a river and lake. You can't defeat the court in a head-on fight, but how can you prevent those rivers and lakes methods such as poisoning, assassination, and kidnapping?"
"Hey, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, I have never heard of any officials involved dying at the hands of Jianghu people, let alone these emerging sects with talents that are as strong as a Jiazi? No matter how powerful he is, can he be compared to our Baizhan soldiers?" Shui Che sneered.
"Besides, are the 200,000 troops stationed around Luoyang City a waste of food? Is the Dongchang there just for people to have fun? Don't worry, most of the people have been taken care of by the army and the Dongchang, and they can sneak in They are definitely in the minority and cannot make trouble in front of the soldiers."
Jia Hui comforted.
It’s not like the kind of martial arts people in the previous life who had the inner strength to fly over the walls, use their energy to kill people in the air. As long as the number of archers and muskets are in hand, whoever is the best in the world, who is the leader of the martial arts world, who is the old man in the world, and whoever is the hero of the world can all be sieved. !
There was a sudden noise outside the door.
"Who!"
Everyone who was disturbed looked out the door with bored expressions. Jia Hui also frowned and looked over. A servant in green clothes and a small hat broke in.
Jia Hui looked intently, why is it my concierge?
"Master, my mother's water broke."
Before the servant finished speaking, Jia Hui jumped up and passed the servant and rushed out of the box. He hit the wall with a "dong" sound, attracting people in the box to come out to see, only to find a tall figure running rampant. He rushed towards him, knocked over many people blocking the way, and looked intently.
"too"
"Get off!"
The man was pulled into the box by Jia Hui's slap, rolled over and hit a chair. His companion was about to help him up and go out to fight him, but he was grabbed by the man lying on the ground.
"No, no, no, don't go, that's the lieutenant."
"Hiss—but a lieutenant can't beat someone for no reason. Let's go."
"roll!"
The companion who was about to go out to catch up was called back to the box, and he also fell over and lay on the ground.
"Okay, so many uncles."
. . . . . .
The tall horse galloped past on the street, causing pedestrians to scream and get out of the way. The censor patrolling the city, who was almost hit, was about to ask Wuhou to arrest the person, when several more horses galloped past, and the censor jumped on it in a thrilling way. On the roadside, this was how he was able to save his life.
The censor stood up angrily, and when he was about to catch up with a stick, he was held back by the leader of Wuhou under his command.
"Sir, please calm down. We cannot afford to offend these people."
"Why?"
"My lord, the first one to ride over is the lieutenant, and the last ones behind are all viscounts."
"Humph, the Viscount is amazing!" The censor snorted coldly, straightened out his wrinkled clothes, and walked towards the other side of the street.
The group of people ran rampant on the street and finally arrived at the Taiwei's Mansion. Regardless of whether it was the front or back door, Jia Hui jumped off his horse and rushed in.
Several old brothers also jumped off their horses, threw their reins to the porter, and rushed in together.
The brothers are all good at dealing with the family, and there is no difference between entering the backyard of each house and entering your own home.
The east wing of Li Wan's courtyard.
This place had long been arranged as a delivery room by Jia Hui. After refining some alcohol, he poured some alcohol every half an hour. It is also covered with breathable window paper to keep it ventilated and dry at any time.
Having received the news early, all members of the Ningrong Second Mansion had arrived in the courtyard and sat there in silence.
Several girls have also been taken away by the maid and mother-in-law to other places.
Li Wan will definitely scream in pain when she gives birth later. It would not be good if these inexperienced young ladies hear it and become afraid in their hearts.
Li Shouzhong and his wife were also on their way to the Taiwei Mansion.
"Sister Wan! Sister Wan!"
A roar like a tiger's roar came from outside the courtyard wall, which startled everyone.
Ping ring ring!
A sound of shattering tiles was also heard at the same time. Everyone looked up and saw Jia Hui stepping on the courtyard wall and jumping down.
He landed lightly, making almost no sound.
"Sister Wan!"
"Brother Hui, it hurts!"
"It hurts? Dr. Cao, what should I do if my wife says it hurts? Is there any way to make her feel better?"
Jia Hui grabbed Doctor Cao, the master of obstetrics and gynecology of Tai Hospital who was hired with a high salary, and asked nervously.
"Brother Hui, don't be rude!"
Jia She, who was also waiting in the hospital, quickly stepped forward to separate Jia Hui and Imperial Physician Cao.
"Nothing, nothing, Lieutenant. Mrs. Jun is currently opening a bone seam. It will take at least five or six hours before she starts giving birth!"
Of course, Imperial Physician Cao would not care about the rudeness of the imperial lieutenant to him. Instead, he explained to Jia Hui calmly and calmly.
"call"
After hearing the explanation from the imperial doctor, Jia Hui breathed a sigh of relief, slid to the ground and sat on the floor, leaning against the door frame of Li Wan's delivery room, crossing her legs.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Wan, I'll be guarding you at the door!"
"Lieutenant, you can still go in and have a look now."
Jia Hui glanced at the imperial doctor, who was frightened and quickly shrank behind Jia She.
He stood up and opened the door. Jia Huixuan knelt in front of Li Wan's bed.
"Sister Wan"
Jia Hui straightened up and grabbed Li Wan's hand, looking at her with a distressed expression.
"Brother Hui, I want to eat the fried belly you made."
"Do it, do it, I'll make it for you right now! Come on, come on, make a pot of fried belly. Forget it, take it to the yard and I'll do it myself!"
"yes!"
The servants also jumped on the wall and started running towards the kitchen.
"Greetings to the old lady, uncle pardon!"
"Greetings to the old lady, Uncle Pardon!"
The old brothers finally ran into the yard. When they saw Jia Mu, Jia She and others were here, they also hurriedly saluted.
"Get up, get up, you are all good children."
Jia Mu quickly helped these boys up from the ground.
. . . . . .
Six hours later, Jia Hui was driven out of the room by Dr. Cao and Po Wen, who had been hired with a large sum of money, holding a large bowl.
There were already many people in the yard.
Li Shouzhong's family of three, Chen Jingyuan and his wife, the Jia family, the Lin family, Jia Hui's brothers, and even Dai Quan are here.
"Oh, it's so rude, it's so rude, I didn't show respect to my elders."
"Nothing is wrong. The virtuous couple of Taiwei and his wife have a deep love for each other. They are really envious of others. Li Jijiu, you have found a good son-in-law!"
Dai Quan said to Li Shouzhong and his wife with a smile. He was entrusted by the Second Saint to take a look.
"Haha, it's all up to Brother Hui himself."
A group of people began to exchange some polite words, but the bursts of pain coming from the delivery room stopped their conversation.
Jia Hui sat cross-legged on the door beam of the delivery room without saying a word.
"Sister Wan, your husband is guarding you outside the door."
The entire courtyard fell into silence, except for Li Wan's cries of pain and the sounds of the maids carrying pots of hot water back and forth.
Jia She also walked to Jia Hui, sat on the ground with him, and awkwardly stretched out his right arm to put on Jia Hui's shoulder.
As time passed, Li Wan's voice gradually changed from heartbreaking to moaning.
"Wow!"
As if the first ray of sunlight broke through the night at dawn, a powerful cry broke through the oppression in the hospital.
Everyone showed a surprised smile.
"Master, after birth, it's a young father-in-law!"
The night of the 17th day of the second lunar month in the seventh year of Tiansheng was at the right time, on the eve of spring.
Jia Yanei was born in the courtyard of Li Wan, the mistress of Taiwei Mansion.
After waiting for a long time, five thousand words are here!
