There is a case of books in Shouyi, and there is an imperial edict in the palace.
It is written like this: At first, Li Linfu was mistaken for being a little loyal, and for being a little trustworthy, he was grateful for kindness. Later, he dared to be a big traitor, and for big evil, he used power to disrupt the government.
Prison to await punishment later.
The resignation of the right prime minister caused a sensation in the entire Tang Dynasty, which was no less than a major earthquake.
Both men and women, old and young, both inside and outside the court and in the streets, regarded this case as a top priority. After dinner, in the streets and alleys, no matter where you went, you could hear people discussing the case.
However, in Bachuan outside Chang'an City, few people paid attention to this case.
Just because another major event is happening - Princess Wanchun's delivery date has arrived.
The palace sent experienced female officials, Bieyuan invited Wenpo, who had delivered babies for generations, and the princess's palace prepared a large number of precious medicinal materials.
On the day of the delivery, a large group of people gathered in the vestibule of the princess's mansion.
There were visitors like Pang Zhonghe and Fan Jinian, as well as family members like Zhou Dinghai, Luo Sanniang, and Zhou Ze.
Everyone waited for a long time before they saw Zhou Jun coming out of the back compartment. He was reading a book.
Pang Zhonghe asked: "Erlang, what's wrong?"
Zhou Jun shook his head, his face full of anxiety, and said, "Po Wen said, it's not the time yet."
When everyone heard this, they sighed.
Zhou Ze's son, Zhou Shang, was still young. Seeing everyone's expressions of sadness, he asked in a sweet voice, "I heard from my father that today is a happy day and Shang is going to be his elder brother. Why are you all so depressed?"
Seeing Zhou Shang say this seriously, everyone in the hall laughed.
After Zhou Jun finished laughing, he felt a little better, bowed his hands to everyone, and returned to the back garden of the mansion.
Seeing this, everyone could only stay in the court and wait for news.
This wait lasted for most of an hour.
Zhou Jun was in the garden of the back garden, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. From time to time he would go to the entrance of the courtyard to look around and listen carefully to what was going on inside.
Inside the hospital, one could faintly hear Yin Yu's cries of pain, as well as the busy movements of many women.
After a long period of suffering, a loud cry of a baby came from the courtyard.
Zhou Jun was excited, his face looked happy, he stood up and wanted to rush into the courtyard.
The female officers guarding the door had a lot of experience, and they advised: "My consort, please stay a while. The courtyard is in chaos."
Zhou Jun stopped where he was and waited for a long time. He saw an older woman coming out with a happy face and said to him: "Congratulations, my prince-in-law, you are a young man!"...
Zhou Jun ignored this and asked directly: "Is everything okay, madam?"
Po Wen was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied: "Great and great peace, great great peace!"
When Zhou Jun heard this, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief and ordered his servants to prepare generous gifts for Po Wen.
Entering the delivery room, Zhou Jun saw Yin Yu lying on the bed with a pale face, and Yu Jun's mother was holding a baby boy beside her, lowering her head and saying something.
Seeing Zhou Jun enter the door, Yu Jun's mother came over with a smile and handed the infant baby into the former's hands.
As if he had taken over a heavy burden, Zhou Jun carefully picked up the baby. Looking at the newborn's wrinkled face, he couldn't help laughing, his face full of joy and relief. Yin Yu softly called Erlang, and Zhou
Jun handed the baby back to Yu Jun's mother, walked quickly to the bedside, gently stroked Yin Yu's hair, and said softly: "My wife has suffered."
Yin Yu: "Erlang, have you decided on the name of your child?"
Zhou Jun raised his head, thought carefully for a moment, and said to Yin Yu: "I hope that this child will be free from illness and disaster in the future, live a carefree life, and not be disturbed by the sorrows and troubles of the world... Why not give him the word "Xiao"
How about the name Zhou Xiao?"
Yin Yu read it carefully twice and replied with a smile: "Being free from illness and disaster is a blessing, being free and at ease is true. Erlang has thought carefully, so that's it."
That night, Zhou Jun held a banquet in Bachuan Villa, entertained guests, and spread the good news of his son.
After the banquet, Zhou Jun was a little confused after drinking. He wanted to go back home, but was unexpectedly stopped by Yuping on the way.
Yuping: "Erlang, Mr. Pang has something to tell you."
Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment, then asked: "It's getting late, has Pang Gong not rested yet?"
Yuping: "Pang Gong has been thinking about something before. Today Erlang is happy to have a son. He wants to take this opportunity to discuss it with you."
Zhou Jun: "What's the matter?"
Yuping: "We'll find out when we get here."
Entering Pang Gong's small courtyard, Zhou Jun followed Yuping into the study and saw Pang Gong sitting in front of the case, with a small wooden box on the table, reading a book.
Pang Gong looked at Zhou Jun, nodded and said, "Erlang is here, please sit down first."
Zhou Jun was confused, cupped his hands and sat down.
Pang Gong: "The princess has given birth to a little boy. Mother and son are safe. This is a great joy."
Zhou Jun responded with a smile.
Pang Gong: "After much thought, our family doesn't have any suitable gift. Only this one may be of some importance."
Pang Gong said as he patted the wooden box on the table.
Zhou Jun: "What is this?"
Pang Gong opened the wooden box, took out stacks of deeds, and said to Zhou Jun: "These are the land deeds, leases, letters of grant, and the slaves of the palace people who are in our name."
Deed and household register."
Zhou Jun was stunned and asked: "What does Pang Gong mean?"
Pang Gong: "My family is a eunuch with no roots and no heirs. Money is like smoke to me, and there is no joy or sorrow in gain or loss. Rather than keeping these with me, it would be better to give them to you and Zhou Xiao, which would be more useful."
Come in handy."
Zhou Jun advised: "Bachuan was given by a saint. Please think again, Mr. Pang."
Pang Gong waved his hand and said: "It was given by the saint, but he never said that it was not allowed to be given away. Besides, Zhou Xiao is the son of the princess and has a connection with the royal family, so it does not exceed the limit."
Zhou Jun still wanted to persuade him.
Pang Gong stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Earlier when Erlang was in the palace, our family went to Li Linfu to plead for you. Li Linfu hated you to the core. Not only did he refuse to let go, he even threatened our family with the Bachuan Market. He said, "Bachuan
Land prices have skyrocketed, and street markets are even more priceless. Loyalty has no one to rely on, and sooner or later it will lead to enemies with the powerful. Now that I think about it, Li Linfu is sinister, but there is some truth in what he said."
Seeing Zhou Jun thoughtfully, Pang Gong patted the wooden box again and said: "Take it, this Bachuan Market has become a burden to our family, but if it is left in the hands of you and Zhou Xiao, it will be a help. As for
From now on, it is up to Erlang to decide how to deal with this market."
Zhou Jun thought carefully for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Pang Gong's kindness, Jun will always remember it in his heart."
Seeing Zhou Jun's response, Pang Gong said with a smile: "Erlang, our courtyard is too deserted. Let Zhou Xiao come here more often when Zhou Xiao is older. This will be considered as a memory of loyalty and harmony."
Zhou Jun nodded and responded again.
