Chapter 252 Seven or eight more sons
That night, Zhang Xiu did what Dong Zhuo wanted and was "drunk" in the prime minister's mansion. Of course, Dian Wei followed him all the way and slept in Zhang Xiu's bedroom outside that night to protect him.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiu got up. He had dinner with Dian Wei first, and waited for a while before going to find Dong Zhuo.
But the old man Dong Zhuo is old and has little energy. He slept until almost noon before getting up. The first time Zhang Xiu did not meet Dong Zhuo. When Zhang Xiu went there again, he had lunch with Dong Zhuo and drank some wine.
After they had enough wine and food, the two of them came to the study and sat down.
"Dong Gong. I want to recommend to you the general of Zhang Yang as the captain of Hengjiang and commanding the navy." Zhang Xiu smiled and bowed his hand.
Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "Okay." Then, he asked casually: "Dalang rarely recommends people to me. Is there anything extraordinary about this?"
Zhang Xiu told Dong Zhuo about the sturdy matter and finally said, "This is a loyal and righteous man, and Mr. Dong can trust him."
"Yeah." Dong Zhuo smiled and nodded. Soon after, Zhang Xiu stood up and said goodbye and left the place.
Dong Zhuo also gave Zhang Xiu face and sent someone to be appointed as the captain of Hengjiang.
Thanks to Zhang Xiu's usual recommendations, the governor of Nanyang County used Dong Zhuo's confidant, and Huang Zhong and others were Yuan Shu's old subordinates.
Hedong County and Hanoi County are all Dong Zhuo's confidants. If Zhang Xiu had planted his own people everywhere, Dong Zhuo would probably be unable to help it.
............
Zhang Xiu was sitting in a luxurious carriage and surrounded by Dian Wei and others, he returned to the Grand Sima Mansion, which he had been away from for a long time.
When Zhang Xiu came down, he was shocked. He saw many bellies standing in line at the door.
Those big-shouldered and round-waisted personal guards didn't dare to look at these bellies, and they all lowered their heads like quails.
Zhang Xiu looked carefully and said, "What a guy. In addition, Mrs. Cai has nine beautiful concubines, all of whom are first-class, with first-class figure, fair skin, as white as snow, and red cradles in his arms. When you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of the baby sleeping sound.
Zhang Xiu remembered that before going to war this time, many beautiful concubines in the mansion were pregnant. Now, the melon is ripe and has fallen to the ground.
But Zhang Xiu remembers that more than a dozen beautiful concubines were pregnant, so why are there eight now? Are the others dead?
Zhang Xiu's face changed and she sighed. The medical conditions of this era are all due to luck to have children and raise children.
The reason why Queen Mother He gave birth smoothly was because she had given birth.
After surviving the first child, the second child will usually be fine. Therefore, people in this era like to marry women who have given birth to children.
So Cao Cao likes his wife, there is nothing wrong with it.
Mrs. Cai, dressed in bright clothes, led eight beautiful concubines Yingying and Yanyan to bow to Zhang Xiu, calling him "June and Hou".
"Get up. It's all hard. Each person has five pieces of silk, five pieces of gold and five pieces of silver." Zhang Xiu felt sorry for his own woman and nodded.
The beautiful concubines immediately showed joy. Who doesn’t like the amount of money in their hands? Then, Zhang Xiu went up to hold a child and saw the boy.
He hugged another one, and saw that it was a boy again. After the eight hugged them, Zhang Xiu raised his head and wondered at Mrs. Cai, "Why are all sons?"
Even in modern society, I'm afraid I can't have a son, right?
"Report to the Lord, the lady is all in the house." Mrs. Cai said softly. Zhang Xiu was stunned at first, then suddenly realized.
In this era, we despise our daughters and attach importance to our sons. All the eight sons came out to greet me, and all the women stayed in the house.
Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said to Mrs. Cai: "I have a reward just now. I also have a daughter. You can do this."
"No." Mrs. Cai responded with a smile, but she was a little surprised.
The beautiful concubines are even more helpless. Are there any rewards for having a daughter? We are so hard at giving birth to a son? It’s so vain.
Zhang Xiu and Mrs. Cai took the beautiful concubines into the house and came to the back house. Dian Wei left halfway. After arriving at the back house, Zhang Xiu indeed saw several beautiful concubines holding babies and more beautiful concubines without children.
Those beautiful concubines holding their daughter looked a little nervous.
There is no way. The status of my concubine is already low enough. It’s okay to have a son, but she has a daughter, but it’s just a matter of dislike.
Zhang Xiu sighed and came to the middle hall of the back house to sit down. Mrs. Cai led all the beautiful concubines to sit on the left and right sides.
Zhang Xiu looked at the girls and said, "Where is my place. I have a reward for having a son, and a reward for having a daughter. Whether it is a son, I will try my best to take care of my daughter. There will be no shortage of clothes and food, and there will be differences. Let me leave this matter to you. Keep a close eye on it. Don't let my daughter suffer grievances."
"No." Mrs. Cai bent over again and said calmly.
Those beautiful concubines holding their daughter were relieved and smiled.
"Who is the second son?" Zhang Xiu thought for a moment and asked with his head raised.
"Mr. My son is the second son." A beautiful concubine with a handsome appearance proudly raised her chest and walked up with her son in her arms.
"Thank you for your hard work. Pear blossom." Zhang Xiu said with a smile. This is her nickname. Although there are many concubines in the mansion, most of them remember their surnames and nicknames as long as they have been lucky.
"Your Madam is so serious." Li Hua said in surprise and joy.
Then there was the next one. Zhang Xiu recognized all seven or eight sons, four or five daughters, and took the exam to see which one was born.
He also asked Mrs. Cai about Nai Niang. Some beautiful concubines wanted Nai Niang, and some wanted to feed them themselves.
Mrs. Cai had already arranged it and kept the house in order. Zhang Xiu immediately praised it and hugged Mrs. Cai in public and said, "Mrs. Zhenxian is also given 100 gold and 100 silk."
Mrs. Cai flew on her cheeks, and all the beautiful concubines showed envy.
After hanging with the beautiful concubines for a while, Zhang Xiu left the back house and came to the house where Queen Mother He and Concubine Tang were.
When Empress Dowager He heard the news, she also walked in with her eldest son Zhang Yong and Concubine Tang. After a greeting, the three of them came to the living room to sit down.
Zhang Xiu hugged Zhang Yong and teased him. The kid's small word "Big Tiger" was also a tiger-headed and lively and active person, and he could already crawl. As soon as Zhang Xiu let go, Zhang Yong crawled all over the ground.
Zhang Xiu said something to the second daughter. Empress Dowager He couldn't help it and came to Zhang Xiu and sat in his arms. She asked softly: "June, when will you do it?"
Zhang Xiu had an agreement with them.
Kill Dong Zhuo.
Concubine Tang next to him also raised her ears.
He smiled and said, "It's useless to destroy it anymore. The time is not yet ripe. When the time is ripe, I will take action naturally."
Empress Dowager He and Concubine Tang were both disappointed when they heard this. Empress Dowager He was in her early thirties and pouted and said coquettishly: "I can't wait."
Zhang Xiu couldn't bear it. He had been out for so many days now, but he was so suffocated.
Zhang Xiu did not answer, but picked up Empress Dowager He, took Concubine Tang, and went to the bedroom. As for his son, he picked him up, and he didn't care.
Zhang Xiu is strong and has a large number of wives and concubines. When he returned to the Grand Sima Mansion, he would naturally be the dragon entering the sea and be invincible. He didn't know how many children would be in the coming year.
Two flowers bloom, each with one branch.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the study room, Dong Zhuo has sat here since Zhang Xiu left. Although he believed in Zhang Xiu more, his natural suspicion still made him unable to let go.
After thinking for a while, Dong Zhuo said to the personal soldiers outside the door: "Please come here."
"promise."
The personal soldier agreed. Not long after, amid the sound of uneven footsteps, Li Ru, wearing a white robe, walked in.
"Lord." Li Ru bent down and saluted.
Dong Zhuo nodded and asked Li Ru to sit down. Then, Dong Zhuo spoke, "Zhang Xiu just recommended Guan Gu as the Captain of Hengjiang."
"Yes." Li Ru nodded. He already knew about this.
Dong Zhuo sighed and said, "I believe in Zhang Xiu. But I can't believe in ten percent. Only out of ten percent, I believe in ninety percent. There is only a little left, and I can't let it go."
Li Ru was helpless when he heard this. This is your suspicious disease and no one can cure it.
No matter what Zhang Xiu did, no matter how we persuaded him, you would never believe Zhang Xiu.
"Li Ru, what do you think of my granddaughter Dong Bai?" Dong Zhuo suddenly asked.
An ominous premonition emerged in Li Ru's heart, could it be?
"Zhang Xiu is in his twenties. Although there are many beautiful women in the mansion, there is no wife or wife in charge. My husband's Bai'er Nian Fang is extremely beautiful and can match him. I am the prime minister's court, and Zhang Xiu is the Grand Sima's court. The door can also be matched. Isn't it?"
Dong Zhuoyue said that the more he felt that this matter was "in the middle", a face full of flesh showed a more vicious and kind smile.
An ominous premonition came true. Li Ru's head suddenly hurt. Dong Zhuo was right. Dong Bai was sixteen this year and was extremely beautiful.
Among Dong Zhuo's children, granddaughters and grandsons, Dong Bai's appearance is like a white lotus that is untainted from the mud.
So handsome.
Li Ru even suspected that Dong Bai's granddaughter was not Dong Zhuo's.
Anyway, none of Dong Zhuo's descendants are good-looking.
But Dong Bai is a little bad. She is good at riding and shooting, has extraordinary skills, outstanding martial arts, and is arrogant and domineering. When Dong Zhuo was still a general of the Central Army, Dong Bai was already lawless.
Now that Dong Zhuo is already a prime minister, Dong Bai is even more out of control. Dong Bai has been illegal in Luoyang City these days, and he has done nothing illegal, and there are only seventy or eighty things.
All of them were suppressed by Henan Yin Wangyun.
This kind of beautiful girl is beautiful. But can Zhang Xiu like it? Dong Zhuo’s starting point is good. As long as both parties have children and in-laws, the relationship will go further.
Zhang Xiu has also become more reliable, right?
But what if it backfires and backfires?
what to do?
Li Ru's head hurts, as if someone was hitting his forehead with a wooden hammer.
