After the seal was sealed a year ago, she went back to live in her uncle's house to wait for her childbirth.
Yu Pu's mother came to Beijing and was also looking forward to the birth of her child.
After the third day of the Lunar New Year, she "rushed" Yu Pu to the uncle's house.
"It's important to accompany your wife, shouldn't I be alone in the countryside?"
"There's nothing to worry about. There's still a nanny at home, so I'm used to it."
"It's time to go back to your hometown to give birth. I've been there and I know that childbirth is difficult, confinement is painful, and it's winter. We can't let adults and children suffer."
Yu Pu was already worried about Lin Yunjing, so after hearing what her mother said, she agreed.
Anyway, he has a lot of free time after being sealed. He is not afraid of the cold, so he just needs to run more often.
This child was born with the eager anticipation of the elders.
It started in the morning and Qingpu Courtyard immediately became busy.
After hearing the news, Yu's mother came over. She and Huang were both excited and worried. They stood in the corridor and prayed to all the gods.
When he heard the baby cry, Yu Pu looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky.
The midwife came out with a smile and announced the good news: "Mother and child are safe."
Huang's heart dropped to the ground, her legs became weak, and she asked the nuns to stabilize her.
The child chose the character "Hao".
Lin Yunyan went to see her newborn nephew, and she just thought the little nose and mouth were cute.
Lin Yunjing had a good rest. Although her complexion was not as rosy as usual, her eyes were very bright.
"I heard," Lin Yunyan said jokingly, "I almost cried. She didn't cry as loudly as our brother Hao, and she shed many more tears than our brother Hao."
Lin Yunjing laughed.
The first one to cry was Yu Pu.
The midwife asked him to hold the baby, but he was at a loss what to do. It was one thing to watch others hold the baby, but it was another thing to pick it up himself. He was afraid that he would hurt the baby unaware of the severity.
Yu's mother was on the side giving him guidance.
Yu Pu held her tightly, feeling the small soft ball, and suddenly tears filled her eyes.
This crying made both Huang and Yu's mother cry.
When Xiao Duan came over, he was shocked when he saw that everyone's eyes were red.
It wasn't until I asked carefully and made sure that both adults and children were okay that I breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, after being promoted up the hierarchy and becoming a great-grandmother, little Duan was also filled with emotions.
Mother Yu choked with sobs and talked a lot with Xiao Duan: "We were born in the countryside. In the early years, all I could think about was how to give my son away so that he could get the honors and get an official position. No matter how much I wanted to help him, there was nothing he could do.
I am powerless to do this.
I never dared to dream that he would have such a good opportunity, get such a good wife, and marry such a good girl like Yun Jing.
I’m really, really…”
Xiao Duan patted Yu's mother on the arm and said, "Where is the lack of ability? Teaching good children is an excellent ability."
The adults burst into tears with emotion. When they heard the child crying, they no longer cared about themselves and hurriedly went to see him.
Adding children is always so lively.
Lin Yunyan smiled and said: "When Yunfang comes back, she will definitely cry when she sees such a fair and clean nephew."
Lin Yunjing was overjoyed: "On the day my third sister left the house, she hugged her third aunt and cried all over her face.
They all tried to make her not want to cry on her big day. She said it was just a wedding day and not the official day of worship, so why couldn't she cry?
I couldn't stop crying. When I saw Yun Ding carrying her back in the sedan chair, her shoulders were all wet.
If she refuses to get her hijab wet, she will say hello to Yunding's clothes. She is just being mean."
"That's natural." Lin Yunyan didn't know Lin Yunfang's little thoughts. "It's not easy for her to embroider a hijab. She will definitely be reluctant to let it go."
I can't stop talking when I joke about my sister.
The more I talk about it, the more I miss it.
Soon, Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian left Beijing again, heading all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.
The greenery was getting thicker and thicker. When we arrived at Yuhang along the river, Duan's family was waiting on the shore.
This is Lin Yunyan's first visit to the Duan clan, which is strange but also friendly.
Lin Yunfang was still lively, leading her sister and brother-in-law to each room to say hello and talk about different happy things.
Lin Yunyan told her about her travel experience last year, about her eldest sister's son, Brother Hao, and that she would catch up on the road so that she could catch up with Sister Zhu's wedding wine when she returned to Beijing.
Lin Yunfang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
She likes the Duan family very much. She has become accustomed to living here in the past few months and is very comfortable, but she also misses the capital.
The return journey is by boat heading north.
Duan Zhihuaiyuan also liked to study abroad. He traveled to many places and had many exchanges with Xu Jian on the way.
"Compared to the Duke, I still lack a lot of experience."
Xu Jian looked not far away, where Lin Yunyan and her sister were gathered together, chatting happily about the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. He then said: "If you want to go out, you can choose to go outside after the examination. I think the third aunt also has a restless temper, so she can go
Check it out in different places, she should also like it."
Duan Zhihuai laughed and said "Okay".
At about the same time as Lin Yunyan estimated, they returned to the capital and rested for two days. It was a good day for Yu Chengan and Zhu Xiang to get married.
Yu Chengan welcomed the bride with a happy face, playing and playing all the way.
After the ceremony was completed and the banquet opened, the groom did not bother to pay respects to his relatives and friends, but first took Xu Jian, the best man, to have a drink.
Of course I can't drink it.
Of course, Xu Jian would not do anything to get the groom drunk. The bridesmaid was supposed to keep the groom from getting drunk, so how could he put the cart before the horse?
It’s just that if you drink too much, you will inevitably smell like alcohol.
He was afraid of smelling Lin Yunyan, so he went to the study room to freshen up.
A few days later, they set off again and returned to Jiangnan.
This time, I stayed for a long time.
Xu Jian also went to the government to show up uncharacteristically. Together with the city officials, he visited several lower counties and asked the local authorities to introduce some famous local businessmen.
Naturally, Jing Dafan was among them, pretending to be polite and polite as if it was his first time meeting Xu Jian.
In this way, the friendship with Jingdong's family has come to an end.
But Lin Yunyan knew that Xu Jian's move was not just about this.
What he saw was the "Jiangnan Flood" in the 18th year of Yongjia. The disaster was very serious and the people were displaced. The court tried its best to provide relief, but there were also many irreparable losses.
Once upon a time, the last time Lin Yunyan heard about Jing Daguan was after the flood.
The "disaster victims" rushed into Jing Datu's granary and mansion, burning, killing and looting. Jing Datu fled all the way to the capital, and finally delivered a message to Xu Jian...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now, Li Du is dead and Li Shao is crazy.
There should be no more fake victims of burning, killing and looting, but natural disasters may still happen.
Xu Jian wanted to know more about the status of the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, and to know which officials in the south of the Yangtze River were doing practical things and which were just point-and-shoot. Combined with the many years of experience of the local snake Jingdong family, even if it was only a side view, he could later submit it to the Holy Emperor.
Dredging, expanding waterways, etc., even if you are listening to fate, you still have to do your best.
They just hid from the limelight for two years, not that they will not return to the court.
Xu Jian wrote a thick excerpt of what he saw and heard in the south of the Yangtze River, which was taken to the capital by Jing Dong's family and handed over to Lin Yuan for delivery to the imperial study.
Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian headed west.
It was already autumn when we arrived in Jingzhou.
In the rustling autumn wind, Lin Yunyan saw Yumen Pass in the distance.
She had imagined countless times what Yumenguan looked like. It must be very tall so that it could withstand the long swords of Xiliang's cavalry. But when she actually looked at it, she realized that it was even taller than she thought.
Today, there are still large troops stationed at Yumen Pass, but peace has also returned.
The front line moved forward, Gu Yue's lone army did not dare to make any mistakes, and Xiliang's vitality was also severely damaged. The occasional horse thieves were also wiped out by the garrison, making it much easier and safer for the caravans to travel.
Lin Yunyan saw caravans from different places leaving and entering the customs, and the camel bells were ringing. Everyone was excited and wanted to make a lot of money.
Safety was guaranteed, Lin Yunyan also walked out of the door to take a look.
The soldiers guarding the pass were very enthusiastic when they met Xu Jian.
Knowing that he was here with his wife, even General Shi Lei hurried over just to meet the rumored princess.
General Shi also led them up to the city wall and told Xu Jian about the status of the pass in the past two years.
"Yumen Pass was repaired a few years ago, so it won't be a problem," Shi Lei said. "The three passes that were recovered earlier have been repaired one after another in the past two years. They are still not good enough. I'm afraid it won't be until next year..."
Xu Jian knew him well and asked directly: "Money, materials, labor, which one is missing?"
"Materials." Shi Lei said immediately.
Xu Jian smiled: "I will go back to Beijing to discuss it with the Holy Spirit."
Shi Lei was happy immediately.
After that, it’s a long road back to Beijing.
Passing through Guanzhong, they visited Dr. Zhang.
Because of their travels, Dr. Zhang no longer needs to live in Beijing for a long time, so he can stay in his hometown and continue his business.
Having treated the old injury of Fu Guogong and working as a military doctor in Yumen, Dr. Zhang's reputation has become more and more famous now, and many injured people come from far away. The medical clinic is much grander than what Lin Yunyan remembered, and it has also admitted
Two lively young apprentices.
Doctor Zhang himself had not changed much. He and Xu Jian carefully examined the injured leg and asked many questions.
"The hard work of the past few years was not in vain," Dr. Zhang took a deep breath. "The hardships were not in vain, and the injections were not in vain."
Lin Yunyan's eyes were bright: "You said so..."
"It's eighty percent better," Dr. Zhang said. "I won't feel any pain when the weather gets cold, I won't lose energy, and I can run if I want to, just like I promised. However, I still have to say ugly things. After all, it's an injury.
Even if you point it at it and kick the big man from Xiliang away, don't go to the battlefield to fight head-on. It won't be able to withstand the chaos."
Xu Jian choked up for a while and said "Okay".
He has become accustomed to his leg injuries, no matter how they are injured, whether minor or serious, and he has accepted that "some things are destined to happen."
Therefore, even if everything goes well in this life, he does not dare to expect that his leg will recover.
Afraid of "things will turn against each other".
When the little princess said that she had cut off Liu Xun's leg, Xu Jian was enthusiastic and grateful, but it did not mean that Liu Xun had broken his leg and the matter would no longer fall on Xu Jian.
Yes, the little princess also said that some people will go crazy. If Li Shao went crazy, then Mrs. Xu will definitely not go crazy again.
Although she was unsure, Xu Jian still followed her and said that this was her intention and a beautiful vision.
But now, after hearing Doctor Zhang's judgment, Xu Jian was still filled with emotions.
Even if it is still impossible to ride a horse to kill the enemy, at least he will no longer be easily hindered by his injured leg.
This is already very good.
I returned to Beijing just in time for the Lunar New Year, and the city was already filled with the New Year atmosphere.
Lin Yunyan went to Cining Palace to pay her respects.
The Empress Dowager held her hand and looked up and down carefully: "She has grown taller and her cheeks have become thinner."
"Pinch my arm," Lin Yunyan stretched out her hand, "There's no loss of flesh at all, it's strong."
The Queen Mother laughed loudly: "Are you still leaving next year?"
"I'm not leaving," Lin Yunyan said. "We agreed to play for two years and not leave next year."
Next year will be the 16th year of Yongjia.
She wanted to stay in Beijing and spend more time with the Empress Dowager.
As winter turned to spring, Xu Jian went to the Jinluan Palace again after two years, and went to the imperial study room again. She was still a famous person in front of the imperial court.
Eunuch Cao talked to him about Yuqing Palace in private: "His Highness is getting more and more confused. He used to wake up once every three to five days, but now he may not wake up even once in a month. Fortunately, he is still easy to take care of. Take care of him.
All he has to do is give orders based on his thoughts."
Xu Jian nodded and said: "I think it's much more stable this morning..."
Neither the Gu family nor the Liu family are so anxious anymore.
Eunuch Cao said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
That's how people are.
I just got a good piece of tofu, and I wish I could taste it immediately, adding fuel and fanning the flames.
After waiting for a while, I calmed down, and then I remembered this truth. I was afraid that the outside would be burnt before it was hot inside, so I quickly got down to it and cooked it slowly over low heat.
Xu Jian was very satisfied with this situation.
Being steady and not impatient is the most suitable thing for the Lin and Xu families to be pure ministers.
Of course, there were also overtures of goodwill in the court, but Xu Jian almost always rejected them. The reason was very straightforward: to return home to be with his wife.
Because Lin Yunyan is happy.
After returning to Beijing and settling in, the child came and was praised by the elders as "sensible and interesting".
The Empress Dowager was extremely happy. Not to mention the gold and valuable things as rewards, she also cared about the children's clothes, hats and shoes. They wanted rich and comfortable clothes for both men and women. She even wanted to prepare attire from birth to wedding.
"You don't even know how tall or short you are, how fat or thin you are, so you think so far," Lin Yunyan said with a smile, "It's okay to make it bigger, but if you change it a little bit, it won't fit in if you make it small, and you won't be able to bear it if you don't wear it."
"Then make it bigger. Xu Jian is tall, so the child must be tall too," the Empress Dowager said.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Yunyan said hurriedly: "You are too impatient."
"At the age of the Ai family," the Empress Dowager sighed, "I'm afraid that we won't see the big day, so why don't we make preparations in advance?"
Lin Yunyan pursed her lips, put aside the bad memory of the past, and said, "You will definitely live a long life this time."
"What about this time and that time?" The Empress Dowager didn't understand and didn't care. "The Ai family likes to make it. They produce their own cloth and supply it to the Shangfu Bureau from their own pocket. You don't have to worry about it."
Lin Yunyan doesn't care, the most important thing is that the Queen Mother is happy.
She can only look after herself now.
This baby in her belly was a picky one. Even though Lin Yunyan endured it, she often vomited whatever she ate. She liked it in the morning but didn't like it at night.
Fortunately, I can still eat the sweet ones.
Xu Jian invited Nanny He's family to the house, and asked Uncle Chengyi to borrow a cook from the house. They all prepared food for Lin Yunyan in different ways.
After getting through this period of time, Lin Yunyan's appetite gradually improved. She had lost weight and gained weight, becoming much rounder. The anxious doctor quickly said that it was almost done and she would never be able to gain weight again.
Relatives were worried and happy, but Lin Yunyan was in a calm mood and practiced boxing with Xu Jian.
Slowly and leisurely, stretch your muscles and bones.
Mrs. Xu visited several times and felt relieved after making sure there was no danger.
When the month came, the mansion had been prepared early, but Lin Yunyan never started.
The imperial doctor came to check for pulse every day and said he was very healthy, so he waited patiently.
Although Lin Yunyan was calm, she couldn't help but ask Xu Jian: "Why is this child more patient than the two of us?"
Xu Jian joked: "How about urging me?"
Lin Yunyan smiled and scolded him. After laughing, she looked at her round belly and urged: "It's time to come out, you are sensible and knowledgeable."
Xu Shizhen pushed it. Lin Yunyan woke up from her dream in the middle of the night and felt that she was almost done.
Xu Jian hurriedly got up and lit the lamp, and the whole main courtyard immediately became bright.
Po Wen was selected by the empress dowager, an old nun in the palace.
She comforted Lin Yunyan: "Don't worry, everything will go smoothly. It's still early. You need to eat something to gather strength. When it's time to exert your strength, you can finish it in one go."
Lin Yunyan turned to look at Xu Jian: "Did you hear that? It's still early. The Duke should go to court."
Xu Jian's mind was obviously not on Shang Chao Shang, but she went to change clothes anyway.
He didn't want the little princess to be distracted.
Before going out, I gave instructions inside and out.
Wait until daybreak to report a message to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion, and the concierge must hitch up the carriage. If anything happens, Mother Ma can rush to Cining Palace immediately.
Mrs. Xu sent him off with a smile: "A-Ping and I are sitting in the side hall and won't move a step. Don't worry."
Xu Jian was still worried.
Human nature.
When I met Lin Yu in the square, they both saluted, and even Lin Yu became anxious.
This anxiety also extended to the Jinluan Palace.
There was nothing major in the court this morning. It was just that the officials were having a verbal quarrel, and they came and went without giving in to each other.
An Yibo was annoyed by what he heard, but His Majesty didn't stop him, so he could only listen. Suddenly he turned his head and saw that Xu Jian was restless.
what happened?
An Yibo's eyes moved down to look at Xu Jian's legs.
Didn’t you say that the injury is almost completely healed?
It used to be so cold that it hurt to stand for a long time. Now it's getting colder, but it doesn't seem that cold, right?
Looking at it again, Uncle Chengyi seemed to be in a fugue, and Uncle Anyi suddenly understood.
An Yibo was just thinking about opening his mouth to act like a "peacemaker" when he saw Xu Jian taking a step forward.
"Two old ladies," Xu Jian said in a deep voice, "I can't explain this trivial matter in the Jinluan Palace. I suggest you two go out of the palace, find a good teahouse, and invite the common people to comment together. There on West Street.
There are pretty good ones, I’ll send you two there later?”
How can you continue to argue when you are interrupted like this?
Everyone shook off their sleeves, turned away and said nothing.
The Holy Emperor retreated from the court. When he passed by Xu Jian, he whispered: "I thought you didn't want to have fun anymore."
"Today is not the right time to have fun," Xu Jian said.
The Holy Father laughed and left.
Xu Jian respectfully saw off the holy driver and left immediately without saying a word.
Of course, there was no such thing as sending two censors, but An Yibo happily asked: "He is not free, should I send two of them?"
The censor was so angry that he blew his beard.
Lin Yu took leave and went to the Duke Fuguo's Mansion with Xu Jian.
The two of them walked in a hurry.
Lin Yu was panic-stricken, but she still comforted Xu Jian: "The birth is time-consuming. When Yun Yan was born, it took more than a day. It was very tiring. Don't be anxious when you wait."
Xu Jian agreed, thinking in her heart that a "sensible and knowledgeable" child who came as soon as he was urged would not cause Ayan to suffer for a whole day.
Half a day at most, when the sun is at its best at noon...
Walking into the main courtyard, Xu Jian saw Wan Yue standing in the corridor, and was about to ask her a few words when she suddenly heard a cry.
His steps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head suddenly, looking in the direction of the delivery room in surprise.
He has good ears and can hear different sounds and identify the direction of sounds, but this time, he couldn't believe his ears.
It wasn't until the cries started loudly one after another, and Mrs. Xu walked out of the side hall with Mrs. Chen who came from the Chengyi Mansion in surprise, that Xu Jian had a real feeling.
That's his child crying.
The voice is clear and strong, he is his and Ayan's child.
Po Wen came out to announce the good news: "She is a girl. Both the Duke and the princess are very handsome, and the little girl is equally handsome! When she is taken to Cining Palace in a few days, the empress will definitely not be able to put it down."
Mrs. Xu smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.
She was not in a hurry to ask the princess how she was doing.
If the aunt from the palace is so happy, I think the princess must be safe and sound.
Xu Jian felt cold before going to hug her daughter.
The little girl's head is white and tender, her eyes are closed, and she is a small ball.
Before the Empress Dowager, Xu Jian thought, he couldn't put it down.
Perhaps because she was born quickly, Lin Yunyan was not that tired. She turned her head and looked at the children, one big and one small, beside the bed.
"Exceptionally neat," she said softly, "he is a cheerful child."
Xu Jian held Lin Yunyan's hand and took several deep breaths to stabilize her emotions. However, her voice was hoarse when she spoke: "She is so young, it will take many years to grow up."
Lin Yunyan smiled: "Yes..."
They want to protect her as she grows up.
Ten years, twenty years, thirty years, or even further.
In a completely unknown future, we should still work hard to help the Duke and the Duke of Chengyi to strive for a stable and stable future.
