I heard that Zhang Mansion was happy to have a new child.
Although Zhang Yue is not as close to the official family as he used to be in the government now, he still holds real power.
After learning about this, he was afraid that the house would be crowded with congratulatory guests, so he kept silent.
Zhang Shi is now kneeling in the ancestral hall to offer incense to his ancestors and Zhang Yue, crying with joy as he speaks.
Watching his younger brother get married and have children, he has almost fulfilled his duty as an elder brother, and now he feels relieved.
Mrs. Yu was busy making arrangements inside and outside, and even personally gave the seventeenth mother some brown sugar water.
As for Zhang Yue, he wanted to hug his son, but after only holding him for a while, he was taken away by the female envoy. Zhang Yue knew that there is a saying that "a gentleman does not hug his son", so there was nothing he could do.
I just watched my son at home and listened to the praises of others.
Everyone in the room was beaming with joy. When they learned that Seventeenth Mother was giving birth, people from Wu Mansion stayed at Zhang Mansion. Now that they got the news, they rushed to Wu's house overnight.
At this moment in the Wu Mansion, Li Taijun had not slept well that night. Hearing a noise outside, he immediately sat up half-stretched.
The old lady who had served Li Taijun for decades laughed when she got the news and said, "Congratulations, mistress, Miss Seventeen has given birth to a boy for the Zhang family."
Li Taijun immediately said happily: "What a boy, great."
Li Taijun thought to himself that the Seventeenth Mother gave birth to a son for Zhang Yue, so he would be the legitimate son of the Zhang family. In this way, the relationship between the Wu Zhang family has taken a further step.
Although the mistress has nothing to offer, she can use her concubine to give birth to a son, but in the end it is better to have a biological son. The Queen Mother and the Emperor are not biological mothers and children. Now that the two sides have fallen out, there is no way to deal with the outcome.
But there is no overnight feud between mother and son.
Li Taijun said sadly: "It is better to have seventeen lives. Her sisters are either daughters or..."
The old lady on the side smiled and said: "The other girls are all of the right age and will still grow up in the future."
There was a smile on Li Taijun's face again and he said: "I don't know how the Seventeenth Mother is taking care of her. Will her vitality be damaged this time? You can order the best medicinal materials at home to be fetched and sent to the Zhang family in the morning. Tell Mother Chen that she must let Qi Qi take good care of herself."
The old grandma smiled and said: "Mother Chen has served the family for several generations, so she is very familiar with taking care of the pregnant women."
After hearing this, Li Taijun felt relieved and leaned on the pillow again and said: "I don't know what to do with the wet nurse? Is the person who takes care of her well chosen?"
The old grandma responded one by one outside.
By the next day, everyone in the Wu family knew that Seventeenth Mother had given birth.
Among them, the happiest person is Wu Anshi. Although Wu Anshi is somewhat estranged from Zhang Yue, he is still quite proud to hear that he has become an uncle.
Wu Anshi smiled at his wife Fan and said: "As the saying goes, three relatives and three no relatives, my uncle is greater than heaven. From now on, this kid from the Zhang family will not be able to treat me with respect when he sees me."
Fan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think about what to give."
Wu Anshi smiled and said: "Then you can't be stingy. No matter what, you have to be more generous than his second uncle."
Fan said: "I have already inquired about what to give to the second bedroom. We will give it more expensively than him."
Wu Anshi smiled and said: "The lady is still considerate."
"But then again, my brother-in-law is so powerful now. He earns a lot of money every day when he is in jail. I heard that even the palace is moved. He doesn't care about our small gifts."
Wu Anshi shook his head and said: "You don't know, your brother-in-law is too ignorant. He doesn't make any money from the family, but he insists on being an upright official. I have told him many times that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, but he has always If you turn a deaf ear to my words, do you still have my brother-in-law in your eyes?"
"Now there are dozens of people in the Zhang family, and Shi Qi is in charge of everything. Fortunately, our Wu family had enough Zhuangtian shops, and Shi Qi is good at handling money, otherwise it would be nothing."
Hearing this, Mrs. Fan said, "What's wrong with this? Dad once said that an official must be honest." Gu Qiang
"Besides, my brother-in-law is an official now, and his official reputation is the most important thing. It would be bad if he loses his future because of greed for these small profits." Wu Anshi was robbed by his wife, and couldn't help but look ugly. He immediately got up and went to his concubine. in the room.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Wu and the two daughters-in-law of the Wu family came to the house in person and each gave generous gifts.
Since babies don't like to be disturbed by too many people when they are born, they all visited Qi Niang and sat aside and talked to her for a long time.
As for Zhang Yue, after living at home for half a month, he also went to the prison as an errand.
Now that the branch offices in Luoyang and Shaanxi have opened, he can't relax now.
Zhang Yue got on his horse and walked to the streets of the capital, but saw a person standing in front of him on the side of the road.
Tang Jiuhu was in front of Zhang Yue, but the other party smiled and said, "Congratulations to Zhang Yue for the addition of a child to his family."
Zhang Yue knew that the person who came was not good, so he stared at the other person and said, "How did you know?"
The other party acted like I know who you are, but I'm not afraid of you at all, and he said calmly: "My master has always been concerned about the matter of the Number One Scholar."
Zhang Yue asked: "Then who is your master? I'm afraid I can't bear the care these days!"
The other party said mysteriously: "I'm afraid I can't tell Zhang Zhuangyuan directly. It's just that he said that Zhang Zhuangyuan is so busy nowadays and seems to have forgotten a certain amount of money and forgot to give it, so he sent me to remind him!"
Zhang Yue looked slightly cold and said: "Why doesn't your master come forward? Otherwise, how would I know which sum of money it is?"
The other party smiled and said: "It is natural to pay back debts, even if it is windy or rainy, or during the holidays. Even if Zhang Zhuangyuan is very happy now, he has to admit it."
"Also, my master said that if Zhang Zhuangyuan can't make the decision, someone else will take the decision in the future. I have already brought it to you. If disaster happens in the future, Zhang Zhuangyuan should not regret that he did it in the first place."
Zhang Yue laughed on horseback when he heard this, and the other party couldn't help but subconsciously turned his head to look at a teahouse on the right side behind him.
Zhang Yue followed the other person's gaze and looked at the teahouse, and then said: "Your master is also here, why don't you come out and see him? It's nothing to be so hidden."
The other party smiled and said: "My master is not here. Zhang Zhuangyuan is overly worried."
Zhang Yue nodded and said: "That's alright. Then please tell your master that you can pay as much money as you want in the prison, but it depends on whether he has the ability to take it."
"So, the champion is drinking wine as a penalty instead of toasting?"
Zhang Yue said: "I won't eat the toast, nor the fine wine. Your master has me in jail, and he won't be able to take a word from you! Also, the person who leaves first may not be me, it may be him."
Seeing this, the other party hurriedly said: "Why is the No. 1 Scholar doing this? Isn't there any room for negotiation?"
Zhang Yue said: "Farewell!"
After saying this, Yue rode off on horseback.
This person waited until Zhang Yue and his entourage had gone away, then went to the teahouse to see Ren Shouzhong and said, "I'm afraid Zhang Sanlang won't submit, if you are a high official."
Ren Shouzhong said: "I heard what you just said in the teahouse. Now that the official family is in charge, the power is mine, so what's the difficulty in dealing with a mere official?"
"But what if the top pick in this chapter insists on refusing? Besides, it doesn't look good on the surface."
Ren Shouzhong said: "My godfather, I will teach you a saying, only the advantage of the land, but the inability and wisdom, is not the cause of disaster! I haven't dealt with your godfather for a long time."
The other party thought for a moment and understood what Ren Shouzhong meant.
Jiao Yinjian, a place where money is being made every day, is like a treasure house.
If the person who can guard this treasure house does not have enough wisdom or strength, it will be a recipe for disaster.
