Whether Liu Yue'er was a concubine or a remarried widow, there was no difference in Lin Fu's eyes.
Having an heir to inherit gave Lin Fu a real feeling of being in harmony with the world. Thousands of years later, Tan Zong became confused like a dream that faded away. Others could not understand Lin Fu's feelings at this time.
Lin Fu envoys Cao Zi'ang, Lin Mengde and others stayed to accompany Sun, Zhou and others to move south to the merchants and tribesmen. He, Gu Junxun and the accompanying maids rode in a carriage and rushed back to Chongcheng overnight, surrounded by the guard camp.
The wheels were rutting and the horse's hooves were galloping. Gu Junxun sat in Lin Fu's arms, her ear pressed against his chest, listening to the powerful beating of his heart. She could feel Lin Fu's excitement. While Gu Junxun was happy for him,
There is another kind of melancholy.
She had been married to Lin Fu for five months, and there was still no movement in her stomach. It was inevitable that she would be a little worried and have random thoughts.
When we arrived at Chongcheng, it started to rain lightly.
Lin Fu didn't care to think about the impact the rain would have on the dredging of the Yanyan River. He held Xunniang's delicate and slightly cool hand and climbed the mountain in the light rain. Apart from the footsteps of the guards hugging each other, there was only wind and rain blowing around.
There were subtle noises in the treetops and mountain walls, and halfway up the mountain, a baby's cry was suddenly heard, which sounded extra clear in the silent mountain.
"Haha, this kid is so noisy that no one else can sleep!" Lin Fu stood on the cliff and laughed with Zhao Hu behind him, "How does it compare to your kid?"
"My boy only knows how to eat and sleep!" Zhao Hu said with a smile. His wife gave birth to a fat boy a month before he went north with Lin Fu. Even Lin Jingzhong's wife Sun Wenpei was pregnant in Jiangning.
"Eating and sleeping are blessings. If you eat more and sleep enough, you will grow strong," Lin Fu said with a smile, and remembered another thing, "Your boy will be my godson. As for whether my son will be your godson."
Godson, I want to ask his mother what she means..."
"Then I have to go back and kick my mother-in-law over quickly to do Mrs. Ru's job. We can't let go of such a marriage," Zhao Hu said.
Lin Fu laughed and asked Zhao Hu and the guards to go back and rest first. He and Gu Junxun walked to the inner house.
************
In the afternoon, I received news that the fleet had docked in Hecheng. I didn't think that Lin Fu would rush back overnight. After all, the Sun and Zhou clans who moved south this time were of great significance to Chongzhou. Even Cao Ziang, Sun Jingxuan and others rushed north.
Reception----Lin Fu didn't like to welcome people and send them off, so he specially sent Cao Ziang, Sun Jingxuan and others to show his respect for the Sun, Zhou and other clans.
Except for the generals and healthy women on duty, everyone else in the mountaintop courtyard also took a rest early.
Faintly hearing the baby's cry, Song Jia woke up, turned over and went back to sleep. There was someone on Liu's side to take care of her, and she didn't want to join in the fun. She Mingyue, who was sleeping next to her, nudged her.
Waist, said: "Someone is coming up the mountain..."
Only then did Song Jia hear the mixed and wet footsteps, and said with a smile: "You still have sharp ears, Lin Fu left everyone who moved south from Jinhai to the north, and rushed back to the mountain in the middle of the night. It seems that the Liu family is quite favored...
"I didn't think about getting up in the middle of the night to see Lin Fu, so I hugged She Mingyue into my arms. It was still damp and cold in the mountains in February, but She Mingyue's body was very warm, and she continued to sleep soundly.
Lin Fu and Gu Junxun walked into the inner house. As soon as they put down the oilcloth umbrella in the corridor, Gu Yingxiu walked out of the outer room with her clothes on and asked in surprise: "Why do you come back so late at night?"
Gu Junxun smiled and said, "How could he sit still in Hecheng when he heard that Sister Yue'er had given birth?"
Lin Fu smiled.
Xiaoman and Gu Yingxiu both slept in the outer room and took care of her for half the night. They just fell asleep and slept with their eyes open. They struggled to put on their clothes and sit up, and their bodies were still swaying and about to collapse.
There were many people in the inner room, and there were many people taking care of them. Lin Fu gently pressed Xiaoman's head and said: "Go to sleep, be careful if you catch a cold. It's still cold in the middle of the night." Listening to the baby's cry,
Then he walked to the inner wing.
Liu Yue'er was unbuttoning half of her clothes to reveal her swollen breasts to feed the baby. Lin Fu didn't expect that the sixth lady, Dan Rou, was also here to help take care of her.
After accidentally hitting the passenger car at the tomb guard's hut last time, Lin Fu didn't see Dan Rou for a while. Dan Rou was a little embarrassed and said, "I need someone who has given birth and knows how to take care of me to replace him. It will be his turn in the middle of the night."
She is like Madam's sister-in-law..." She bowed and said goodbye to everyone and took the maid back to rest.
In the inner room, Liu Yue'er's mother and sister-in-law were waiting closely. They were lying on the small couch in their clothes, but at this time they got up and bowed to Lin Fu.
The year before last, when Lin Fu had just brought Liu Yue'er into his house in Jiangning, Liu Yue'er's parents threatened Lin Fu with five hundred taels of silver before he dared to marry their daughter. Lin Fu kicked her out overnight and couldn't even enter Jiangning City;
It wasn't until a year ago that Lin Fu took them over from Jiangning.
As the saying goes, evil people will be punished by evil people. The Liu family became more disciplined when they arrived in Chongzhou. Besides, Lin Fu's identity and status were far from what they were two years ago, and the Liu family did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
The Liu family was a small family, Liu Yueer took her into the house as a concubine, and the principal wife Gu Junxun was from the Gu family that they could not even imagine.
Although everyone calls Liu Yue'er Mrs. Ru, the difference between Mrs. and Mrs. is completely different if there is an additional word "Ru" in front of her.
Lin Fu was promoted to a court official and was granted the title of County Prince. Gu Junxun was also appointed as a fourth-grade lady and even received a salary of one hundred taels of silver every year; Liu Yue'er had nothing.
Liu Yue'er is open-minded and doesn't argue about anything. Even if the Liu family has thoughts in their hearts, they don't dare to express them. They live in a house outside Beishan Gate and rarely go to the mountain to visit. They have been left in Jiangning for the past two years.
At that time, I felt somewhat resentful.
Liu Yue'er was the first to give birth to her eldest son, and the Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rushed up to the mountain to take care of him for two days without rest or sleep. A mother is more valuable than her son, and besides, the main wife's stomach had not moved even after three or five months of marriage.
What's wrong with the Kailiu family?
Lin Fu was too lazy to guess what was going on in these women's minds. He saw that Liu Yue'er's face was good, but a little pale, and she had strength to sit up. He knew that the birth was going well, so he put aside most of his thoughts and walked to the bedside, stroking Liu Yue'er with his hand.
Yue'er's plump and beautiful face was slightly swollen, and she said: "I thought I could come back in time to take care of you, but I made you tired..."
"You are just saying these silly things, how can you help me by rushing back to give birth to the baby?" Liu Yue'er glanced at Lin Fu angrily, and said to Gu Junxun, "Have you had a hard time rushing back all the way to make Xun Niang a burden to your husband? Sit down quickly.
Come on, I can't get up."
"When I heard that my sister had given birth, I also wanted to come back early to see if I could lend a hand to take care of her," Gu Junxun said with a smile, asking Lin Fu to let her go over to see the baby, and gently caressed the baby's face with his fingers.
He caressed her and said, "The child is so beautiful, with eyes like my sister and a small mouth like my husband... When my husband came back, he told Zhao Hu that they recognized each other as their godson. The boy from Zhao Hu's family was black, but he gave his family an advantage.
.”
"We don't have to wait for Yue'er to nod," Lin Fu said with a smile, "I'm going to give Zhao Hu some advantages and consider this kid his adopted son. What do you think?"
"It doesn't matter what you say, I'm still waiting for you to come back to pick a name." Liu Yue'er was satisfied and didn't think much about it.
Gu Yingxiu could guess what Lin Fu was thinking. The Liu family was a small family, and he had never been happy with the Liu family. He asked this family to be godly related to the Zhao family because he wanted to distance himself from the Liu family in the future so that he would not be without help.
.
The Zhao family seems to be a small family, but the three brothers Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, and Zhao Mengxiong are all generals who can lead troops in battles.
Zhao Hu had a close relationship with Lin Fu and was the most trusted. At this time, his status was still lower than that of Zhou Pu, Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, Zhou Tong, Ge Cunxin, Ao Canghai and other generals, but his status was higher than that of other generals. Zhao Hu had a close relationship with Lin Fu and was the most trusted.
Bao Bao is a sentry general at a young age, and he is also engaged to be married to Hu Zhiyong's daughter. His future is unlimited.
If Chongzhou continues to develop, the Zhao family will inevitably become a rich and prosperous family, unlike the Liu family, which has no one who can support its appearance.
Hearing Liu Yue'er ask the child's name, Lin Fu said: "Then let's get the single word 'xin', which means 'trust and conquer'. I can think of a few names for boys and girls.
Waiting to be pressed one by one." He laughed, as if he was imagining the scene of a house full of heirs.
"Then I'll call you 'Xin'er' from now on," Liu Yue'er looked at the baby in her arms with a compassionate face, murmured to herself, and then said to Lin Fu, "It's so late at night, my husband and Xun Niang are tired after coming back.
, let’s go and rest first, here are my mother, sister-in-law and Mrs. Seven, Xiaoman is taking care of her..."
The Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were here, and Gu Yingxiu was sleeping in the outer room again. Lin Fu couldn't sleep in this house either, so he lingered for a while before going back to the mansion with Gu Junxun.
Gu Junxun couldn't get used to the carriage driving fast at night. He was so tired that his bones were almost falling apart. He went back to the house and fell asleep first. Lin Fu was excited in his heart and fell asleep in a daze while hugging Gu Junxun's delicate body.
Half pay, when it gets dark, I wake up and can't fall asleep again.
After lying on the bed and thinking wildly for a while, he heard the baby in the courtyard waking up and crying and sucking milk. Lin Fu quietly got up, put on his clothes and went to the courtyard to see Liu Yue'er and her son.
*************
Counties in southern Zhejiang fell one after another, and Xinzhou in Jiangxi also fell in early March. After two months of hard work, Shefei Xiong finally opened the passage from western Zhejiang to Shanguan, and Jiangxi county soldiers were forced to retreat to Fuzhou.
Yu Wangao's efforts for nearly three months to break out of Shanguan were finally crushed by the She family.
Chen Zhihu continued to besiege Datong and was encircled by the Donglu army for four months. Li Zhuo, under the pressure of Yan Guan's impeachment, did not lead his troops out of Linyu Pass, but led an elite group to go through the tunnel in the northern part of the Taihang Mountains and entered the northern Shanxi region to contain the encirclement.
The main force of Donglu in Datong.
Liang Chengyi led the Qinyang Army to kill the bandit leader Yang Quan (Liu An'er's uncle) in the north of Luoyang City.
Under the attack of Liang Xi and Liang Chengchong, the rebel leader Ge Ping was forced to lead the Tianzhu refugee army to flee south to Huaibei. However, the flanks of the Huai army led by Yue Lengqiu, who was confronting Chen Hansan and Liu Miaozhen in Yingshui, were threatened.
When the Liang family and his son failed to lead their troops south in time, Yue Lengqiu did not dare to fight alone and was forced to lead the Huai army to retreat to Xuzhou. Ge Ping, Chen Hansan, and Liu Miaozhen met in Yingchuan, and Liu An'er led the main force of Hongze's refugee army.
From Nanyang, we moved eastward along the north bank of the Huaihe River and came here to join us.
The uprising broke out in northern Shandong during the construction of embankments on the Yellow River. After nearly four months of stalemate, they finally returned to the Huaihe River. It seems that the Huaihe River is the middle line for the survival of the refugee army.
Lin Fu, however, ignored these matters and pretended to keep his filial piety. After returning to Chongzhou, he enjoyed playing tricks all day long. He did not appear in public in Chongzhou except when summoned by new believers to discuss matters, let alone ask about foreign affairs.
King Ning hosted a banquet for hundreds of officials in Jiangning, but Lin Fu couldn't go; Yue Lengqiu returned to Jiangning to summon the civil and military officials from Jiangdong to discuss matters, but Lin Fu didn't go either; Cheng Yuqian summoned the generals to inspect Pingjiang, Danyang, and the southern border defense line of Jiangning, and stayed with the officials from the two Zhejiang provinces.
When they were discussing matters at the entrance of Meixi Lake, Lin Fu still refused to go. Even when Zhang Yan was in Weiyang and asked Lin Fu to come over to discuss the issue of salt and silver to protect grain, Lin Fu just asked Zhou Guangnan to go on his behalf.
Although the situation in the world was chaotic, the affairs of Chongzhou were proceeding in an orderly manner, and the Sun, Zhou and other tribes were also dispersed and settled in Chongcheng, Xisha Island, Jiangmen, Hecheng and Jiuhua and other places.
It was not until mid-March, when Liu Yue'er was one month old and the new Chong City was finally completed, that Lin Fu made his first public appearance after returning to Chongzhou.
