In addition, the officials selected from Qizhou's opening of colleges and universities began to take office one after another, and the officials in charge of the yamen in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Qizhou Metropolitan Governor's Office began to slowly return. The determination of the Major General to manage Liaodong also showed them the powerful power of the Qin family in the court.
Political power, combined with the strong military strength of the Qin family's army, the local yamen in Shuzhou City, formerly Henan Province and Hebei Province, which were under the jurisdiction of the Qin family, are not optimistic about the officials of the Qin family. Now they have tied their own future to the Qin family's chariot.
Naturally, he was very concerned about Qin Wenyuan's every move.
After several days of rapid marching in the open air, the east gate of Qizhou Licheng was already in sight. Hundreds of personal guards followed the major general's horse and slowed down, preparing to branch off not far away and enter the "Xuanyuan" road.
The defenders on the east gate of Licheng had already discovered this army of hundreds of people. The generals of the gate defenders reported and led their troops to investigate. When they saw that the marshal was returning to Licheng with his bodyguard, they all shouted loudly.
"The young marshal is back! The young marshal is back!"
Suddenly the victory drum beat on the tower and the bugles sounded...
Hearing the sound of drums and trumpets and cheers from the city tower, the nearby people finally discovered Qin Wenyuan, and the sergeants at the city gate started cheering loudly.
"The young commander is mighty, the young commander is mighty...!"
Qin Wenyuan led his bodyguards to answer with the sergeants and people at the city gate. He smiled and exchanged greetings with the generals who came to inspect his army, and then quickly led his bodyguards to a road not far from the city gate.
, heading towards the direction of "Xuanyuan".
Hundreds of cavalrymen had just arrived at the "Xima Lin" in front of "Xuanyuan". The defenders on the high watchtower of the "Xuanyuan" gatehouse had already seen through the telescope that it was the young marshal leading his personal guards back to the house, and shouted to him.
The defenders below the gatehouse shouted.
"Open the door quickly, the young marshal is back with his army!"
After a while, Qin Wenyuan led Murphy and his personal guards to the gate of "Xuanyuan". The guards all knelt on the ground and held their hands to greet him.
Qin Wenyuan laughed "haha" at the guard soldiers.
"Everything is okay in the garden!"
"I'll wait to see you, young marshal, and madam. Everything is peaceful in the garden. There's no need for you to worry, marshal."
After some encouragement to the guards at the gatehouse, Qin Wenyuan entered the garden. Qin Wenyuan asked his personal guards to wait for the military camp in the garden to be settled and then go home to reunite with their relatives. After a few days, they had to return to the camp at Mao. All the personal guards suddenly received the order and dispersed.
go.
After the personal guards left, Qin Wenyuan and his wife took Zhou Cang to the Qin Mansion for resettlement. Zhou Cang, who had just come to "Xuanyuan" for the first time, was shocked and his eyes widened when he saw the majestic momentum of the city gate tower.
The guards at the gatehouse and the weapons they were equipped with made the man couldn't help but scream in his heart.
"Ah! With these kind of towers and elite soldiers, even thousands of troops can't even hope to capture this place."
Entering the garden, all three of them dismounted. Zhou Cang followed Qin Wenyuan and his wife and walked slowly all the way. Seeing that the houses dotted in the garden were in order, men, women, old and young lived in harmony, it was just like a peach garden outside of this world.
This man who lived by the sea and made a living by killing all day long was a little stunned for a moment. He could not imagine that there was such a peaceful place in the world and that people could live like this.
…
In front of the gate of the Qin Mansion, the guards of the mansion paid homage to the young master and the young mistress and took over the three tall war horses held by Zhou Cang. Qin Wenyuan ordered the guards not to report the news that the old lady was waiting for him to come back. He wanted to give his mother and Yue the news.
What a surprise.
Entering the front yard of the Qin Mansion, Qin Wenyuan immediately ordered the guards of the mansion to take Zhou Cang to the Qin family's guest residence in the mansion to settle down and rest. The man who had been overwhelmed by the peaceful atmosphere in "Xuanyuan" was confused and forced to leave.
The old housekeeper Qin Zhong was pleasantly surprised when he heard the news from the servants in the front yard that the young master and the young lady were back. He quickly came to the front yard with three steps and two steps at a time. When he saw that the boy with a smiling face was not the young master or that one,
He stepped forward and said hurriedly.
"Old slave, see you, young master, young lady!"
"Uncle Zhong, you're welcome. Is everything okay at home? Has Ping'er given birth to a baby?"
"Everything is fine at home. The little mistress hasn't given birth yet. It will probably only happen in a day or two. The midwife and other things have been arranged, so don't worry, young master."
While Qin Wenyuan was talking to Xu Zhong, Murphy went to the backyard alone to meet his mother-in-law.
In Qiu Niang's room, Lu Yue'er saw Murphy and knew that her husband had returned, so she and her plump personal maid came to the front yard each carrying a small person.
Seeing Lu Yue'er coming out with her child in her arms, Qin Wenyuan said to her in a funny way, like the scholar in the play.
"Madam...my husband is so polite!"
Lu Yue'er rolled her eyes angrily and said to Qin Wenyuan.
"My husband still knows to come back. Our child is almost one year old."
As she said that, Lu Yue'er's eyes were covered with mist, and she couldn't control her emotions for a moment. She hugged the baby and leaned into Qin Wenyuan's arms. The baby in her arms was so frightened that she shouted "Wow" and pushed Qin Wenyuan with her two little hands.
Qin Wenyuan hurriedly supported Yue'er, but he didn't know that his action made the child scream, and even the other child in the maid's hand also burst into tears.
Hearing the two children crying loudly, Qin Wenyuan's mother Qiuniang and Murphy came out of the house to see what was going on.
Seeing his mother come out, Qin Wenyuan knelt down in front of her and kowtowed and said.
"My child and mother say hello!"
Qiuniang pulled her son up and looked around. She saw that her son's stronger body was still covered in Zhengchen-stained armor, and his handsome face finally had the look of an iron-blooded general like his father. She couldn't help but feel sad and happy at the same time.
It is the son who has been working hard all day long for the honor of the family. Fortunately, the son has finally matured and can now be the mainstay of the Qin family.
"My son quickly changes his clothes and washes his clothes. Don't scare my beloved mother!"
After that, Qiuniang took her grandson from Yue'er's hand. The little guy was still waving his little finger in Qiuniang's arms, pointing at Qin Wenyuan and talking to his grandmother.
"Bad guy...beat...beat..."
"Okay, okay! Grandma will help her grandson fight this bad guy."
As Qiuniang spoke, she slapped Qin Wenyuan a few times, making the boy in her arms laugh "haha".
Seeing his son laughing, Qin Wenyuan was also happy. This boy who was nearly one year old looked much stronger than other children of the same age, and he seemed to speak much earlier.
Murphy took over Qin Wenyuan's daughter from the maid. The little girl was destined to Murphy. She hugged Murphy's neck tightly with her two little hands and looked at Qin Wenyuan curiously with her big eyes.
"Look how well-behaved our daughter is!"
Murphy said to Qin Wenyuan with a smile.
Qin Wenyuan stretched out his hand to touch his daughter's cheek, but the little girl was so frightened that she uttered "Aaah" and hid in Murphy's arms, causing Murphy to burst into laughter with "Haha".
Qin Wenyuan raised his hand in the air and was speechless. How could I not be loved by his children with his "loved by everyone and blooming flowers" appearance? It seems that he has been away from home for too long...
Lu Yue'er smiled and teased her husband.
"My husband is wearing armor and is covered in dust. Even if I look at it, I will be scared!"
After hearing Yue'er's joke, Qin Wenyuan originally wanted to see Ping'er after paying homage to his mother. He thought that something was wrong with his armor when he entered the maternity room. Wouldn't it be a sin to startle the mother, so he smiled and said to Yue'er.
.
"Husband and Fei'er will go to visit Aunt Qing first, come back and wash up before going to see Ping'er!"
After saying that, Qin Wenyuan excused himself to his mother and took Murphy to the yard where Saint Qingxia lived.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard the sweet voice of Saint Qingxia.
"You little bastard! You've been enjoying yourself outside for a long time, so why don't you come back to the house to visit me more often?"
Qin Wenyuan and Murphy hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in front of the saint. Saint Qingxia pulled Murphy up and started joking.
"You little girl has grown a lot. This delicate woman's body must have been tortured by this little bastard!"
Murphy stamped his feet, his face flushed with embarrassment!
"What did Auntie say? I'm so embarrassed!"
Qingxia shouted to Qin Wenyuan with a sweet smile: "Haha".
"Get up! Can't you, little bastard, speak? Why are you mute today?"
"Hehe! Aren't you surprised by your aunt's stunning beauty? I haven't seen you for a long time. She is getting younger and younger, blooming like summer flowers, and like a fairy from heaven descending to earth..."
"Stop, stop... the little bastard is still so arrogant and talking nonsense, but I like it, hehehe!"
There were so many coquettish sounds in the room that the maid working outside also covered her mouth and laughed.
Qin Wenyuan, who had changed into a simple and elegant blue and white robe, accompanied by Yue'er and Murphy, came to Ping'er's room.
Seeing that her husband was back, a smile suddenly appeared on Ping'er's slightly fat face. She finally let go of her regret that her husband was not around when she gave birth to her child, and said to Qin Wenyuan softly with a smile.
"My husband is back!"
Qin Wenyuan stepped forward and held Ping'er's hands, and after greeting her, he put his face close to Ping'er's swollen belly, listened and joked.
"The child must have known that his father would meet him when he came back and said he would be born in the evening."
These words caused the three ladies in the room to laugh "haha". They all said that this guy was imitating the magic stick and talking nonsense. Qin Wenyuan became playful for a while, pretending to be a mysterious divination divination, and put his face close to Ping'er's belly before getting up.
Said solemnly.
"The husband and the child have agreed that they will come out to meet their father and mother in the evening!"
Seeing the solemn expression on their husband's face, the three ladies were doubtful. Even the tricky and weird Yue'er seemed to be frightened. The three ladies all looked at Qin Wenyuan with the eyes of a monster. They didn't know where their husband learned this weird skill.
Qin Wenyuan was secretly proud of being able to scare the three ladies, and thought to himself.
"Three stupid women, the young master just made a little trick and just said it casually and believed it, hey! Wouldn't it be nice to have the young master come up with a trick in the evening to trick Yue'er and Fei'er into sleeping together and serving them."
This guy got carried away thinking about good things and actually had a wicked smile on his face.
When Lu Yue'er saw Qin Wenyuan's face, her face was full of satisfaction. With her intelligence, she had already guessed that this guy must be thinking of something good. When he went to bed at night, my wife had to interrogate this guy.
In the room, Qin Wenyuan talked to Yue'er and Ping'er about things in western Liaoning and Dengzhou. Seeing that it was already dinner time, when the maid of the mansion came into the house and was about to help Ping'er go to the hall to eat, Ping'er suddenly felt abdominal pain and grabbed Qin Wenyuan.
Said the hand.
"Husband, hurry out of the house, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth!"
When Lu Yue'er heard Ping'er cry out in pain, she called the midwife into the room and immediately pushed Qin Wenyuan out of the door.
During the long period of waiting for Ping'er to give birth to his son, Qin Changqing, who didn't know when he would return to the mansion, sat quietly in the hall and drank tea. He was very happy that the Qin family was about to add another bloodline. He thought that the Xu family was very small, so if they wanted to develop into a big family, they would have to branch out a lot.
Ye, he and his younger brother left home when they were young, and their parents had no contact with relatives for a long time. The inheritance of the Qin family's bloodline naturally fell on their brothers. Fortunately, his son had given birth to a pair of children, and the Qin family had successors. This time
The family will be very lucky to have another boy. If this boy works hard to have more children in the future, won't the Qin family also become prosperous and become a first-class family?
Qin Changqing naturally became happier the more he thought about it in the hall, but Qin Wenyuan felt uneasy outside Ping'er's room. How long has it been? The sun was already setting in the sky, and the sky in the west was dyed red.
The clouds seemed to be on fire...
The sound of Ping'er's screams of pain finally came from the room, but a woman carrying a wooden basin could be seen hurriedly going back and forth inside and outside the house.
Suddenly, a cry of "Wow, wow, wow!" sounded in the room, and then a woman was heard shouting happily.
"Congratulations, madam, you are a big fat boy!"
When he heard the baby's cry, Qin Wenyuan heard the most beautiful sound in the world. For a moment, his heart was filled with softness and pride. He breathed a long sigh of relief and let go of his worries about Ping'er and her son. He looked at the bloody clouds in the west in trance.
Lu Yue'er opened the door and said cheerfully to her husband who was standing in the yard looking at the horizon in trance.
"Husband, please come into the house and see Ping'er and the children!"
Hearing Yue'er's call, Qin Wenyuan entered the room with a smile, looked at Ping'er's sweating profusely and slightly pale face and spoke warmly.
"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am!"
"Look at our child!"
Ping'er pointed to the baby that the midwife was wrapping and said to Qin Wenyuan.
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan looked at his newborn son and found that the boy was much stronger than the eldest son born to Yue'er. His small eyes looked around, but his two small hands restlessly grasped the quilt wrapping him.
, kicking your feet wildly.
Murphy said with a smile.
"This boy Nuo is restless when he is young. I am afraid he is just like his father when he was young!"
"That's really it!"
Qiuniang, who came to the room to visit her daughter-in-law and grandson when Ping'er was giving birth, agreed with a smile.
While the three ladies and their mother-in-law were discussing how the newborn baby looked like Qin Wenyuan when he was a child, and Qin Wenyuan was giggling on the sidelines, a maid came into the room to report.
"The master is calling the young master to meet the guests in the front hall."
After hearing what the maid said, Qin Wenyuan resigned with his mother and three ladies.
At this time, in the hall of the Qin Mansion, the close relatives of the two mansions living in "Xuanyuan" learned that the Qin family had a new son, and they all came to congratulate Qin Changqing. Qin Changqing was smiling and chatting happily with the visitors. He was so happy.
Qin Wenyuan entered the hall and saw his father and other elders. He bowed his hands and said to Lu Yuanming and Mo Qingzi.
"Two father-in-laws, Xiaoyuan has come back due to urgent matters at home, so I haven't visited my father-in-law's house for a while. Please forgive me."
Lu Yuanming stroked the beard on his chin and looked at his son-in-law, Chenglong Kuai, and said with a smile.
"It's okay! My good husband has been in trouble all his life. It's time for him to rest at home and take care of business."
Murphy's father, Mo Qingzi, looked at the boy and said with some dissatisfaction.
"You didn't even ask Fei'er to go back to see his father when he came back. Is it possible that this girl is also busy with something?"
