To Chen Caozhi's surprise, Xiaochan was also pregnant!
Xiaochan followed Ding Youwei and listened to Ding Youwei telling Chen Caozhi about her pregnancy. The surprised looks of the two ladies, Lu and Xie, and the dumbfounded look of Chen Caozhi made Xiaochan so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head.
Being pregnant is so embarrassing!
It was only at this time that Chen Xian, Chen Man and other elders found out about Xiao Chan's pregnancy. Everyone was happy. Xiao Chan was indeed a good candidate for a child. The Chen family of Qiantang was about to have another heir. It was a double happiness.
The talented girl Xie Daoyun felt quite disappointed. Even though she was full of poems and books, she always felt weak without a child. After the family dinner, Xie Daoyun finished washing up and read Liu Xiang's "Shuo Yuan" in the bedroom for entertainment, thinking about Chen Caozhi in the car.
Chen Caozhi actually wanted to let her and Wei Rui serve the same husband like they did on their wedding night. That night, she was temporarily lost in her thoughts, panicked, and was at the mercy of Chen Caozhi. What can she do now?
Willing to do that again!
——At that time, Lu Weirui just laughed and didn't say yes or no, but she refused shyly and angrily. Wouldn't Chen Lang be unhappy about this?
Xie Daoyun then thought again: "If Chen Lang is unhappy because of this matter, then I would rather he be unhappy. How can I rely on him and welcome him like this! But tonight Chen Lang is going to rest at sister Wei Rui's place, and sister Wei Rui is pregnant.
Boy, I don’t know how happy Mr. Chen is.”
Xie Daoyun boredly finished reading Volume 8 of "Shuo Yuan", "Principal Admonitions". It was late at night, so he opened the window and looked around. The cold stars were counting, and the cold wind was biting his muscles and bones. Tomorrow should be a sunny day, so he immediately washed his hands and prepared to go to bed to sleep.
The maid Liu Catkin has scented the quilt to make it fragrant and warm, and the wind untied her bun——
At this time, he heard the maid answer the door, and it was Chen Caozhi who had arrived. Xie Daoyun was pleasantly surprised, and with a calm expression, he saluted with his hair disheveled: "Why is Mr. Chen here tonight?"
Chen Caozhi waved his hand to Liu Xu and Yin Feng, the second maid, to retreat, closed the door, and then said with a smile, "I came here to stay with Brother Yingtai for a night chat."
Xie Daoyun gave a "hum", turned around and took off his silk shoes and went to bed. He said at the same time: "You are busy with the army now and training all day long. You rarely read books. If you dare to talk to me at night, you will be speechless."
.”
Chen Caozhi also took off his shoes and got on the bed, sat down and said with a smile: "Don't praise Haikou. It's not easy for me to beat Brother Yingtai. It's also difficult for Brother Yingtai to beat me. As for reading, it's only for those who have no knowledge."
Seeing Xie Daoyun's eyebrows raised, Liu Ye quickly said: "It's so good, it's a good joke. Even though I'm in the army, I still keep reading the book every day."
Xie Daoyun said angrily: "Don't call me Brother Yingtai anymore!"
Chen Cao said: "It is elegant and interesting to call out once in a while to reminisce about the past of classmates and the passing years. Moreover, I only call you in private. It is a private matter, so why should Tao Yun be serious?"
Xie Daoyun also sat down and said: "That's all, it's up to you. Now let's start the debate. Who will ask the question first?"
Chen Cao saw that this was really a difficult argument. He was not in the mood at this time, so he said: "Another day, another day. I am really tired today. I am a tired soldier. Even if you win the argument tonight, I will win."
No force."
"Husband, this is showing weakness." Xie Daoyun suddenly appeared, smiled charmingly, sat up on his knees, and said softly: "Yes, Mr. Chen has had a hard journey, so let's go to sleep early." He knelt forward to help Chen Cao.
She undressed and took off her belt, performing the duties of a good wife, and gently stroked the frostbite on the back of Chen Cao's hand, and asked, "Has Chen Lang taken the Danggui Sini decoction and rubbed the cold sore with the dregs of the medicine?"
Chen Caozhi kissed her cheek gently and replied: "Not yet, I don't care about it today, I will take it tomorrow."
The two of them got into the brocade quilt with only light clothes on, and lay with their heads together, saying goodbye and missing each other. Xie Daoyun rubbed the frostbite on the back of Chen Caozhi's hand under the quilt, and Chen Caozhi felt itchy and comfortable to the touch, so he became restless.
Xie Daoyun raised and lowered his hand, holding his hand to prevent it from moving, and said: "Mr. Chen, didn't you say you are tired and sleepy?"
Chen Caozhi turned sideways and kissed Xie Daoyun's swan-like slender neck, and whispered in her ear: "How can we fall asleep without the proper etiquette as a couple?" Then he caressed the swollen breasts, which felt a little plumper and softer, and he couldn't put them down.
——
Xie Daoyun gasped slightly, no longer refused, and said: "Did sister Wei Rui ask you to come here?"
Seeing that Xiaochan was pregnant, Lu Weirui was a little worried for Daoyun's sister, and it was not suitable for women to have sex in the early stages of pregnancy, so after a conversation with Chen Caozhi, she urged Chen Caozhi to come to Xie Daoyun's side——
Chen Caozhi did not answer directly, but said: "I can only stay at home for five days this time. I will leave for Jingkou on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. The Northern Expedition is imminent. If I return without making achievements, I can't come to visit you. I really want to treat you as a soldier."
When I come back, you, Wei Rui, and Xiaochan will be able to greet me with their babies in their arms."
When Chen Caozhi said this, Xie Daoyun suddenly became extremely soft-hearted. In response to Chen Caozhi's caress, he whispered: "Mr. Chen, am I too weak because I have just recovered from the illness of fatigue, so - so -"
Chen Cao said: "No, it's not that reason."
Xie Daoyun asked: "What's the reason? Xiaochan got pregnant in just one night, what should I do?"
Chen Caozhi was a little hesitant to answer. Xiao Chan's one was a bit of a coincidence and not enough to be used as an example. He said: "The golden wind and jade dew have not yet met. This depends on trying. The more you try, the more you will hit. It's like shooting a random arrow, there will always be a hit."
The one with a red heart." He then taught him: "A Yuan, don't be too reserved. When you are having fun, be a little more unrestrained."
Xie Daoyun was very shy and responded in a low voice.
When the candle shadows turn red and the begonias bloom, who will endow you with a balcony? The clouds gather and the rain disperses.
Xie Daoyun was panting and his body was still twitching slightly. The couple's joy was over.
The tide of love receded and his breathing had calmed down. Xie Daoyun half leaned on Chen Cao's chest and said emotionally: "Daoyun read history and biographies when he was young, and admired the sages, including my uncles from the Xie family, and there are also Ada, Asan and Zhong.
Lang, a group of brothers who have the title of Feng, Hu, Wei, and Mo, are all outstanding men. Unexpectedly, there is even Chen Lang in the world!"
Chen Caozhi was dumbfounded.
…
The New Year is celebrated with Yuqing, and the festival is called Changchun. This has been the third year since Emperor Sima Yu of the Jin Dynasty came to Xian'an.
On the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month, Chen Caozhi bid farewell to the elders of the clan and went to Jingkou again. However, Xie Daoyun proposed to go to Beijing with Chen Caozhi because Xie Yan mentioned in a letter to her last year that his fourth uncle Xie Wan was in poor health.
, she wanted to go back to Wuyi Lane to visit. She originally agreed with Lu Weirui to go to Jiankang together in the spring, but now that Lu Weirui is pregnant, it is not suitable to be bumpy, so she followed the order of her sister-in-law Ding Youwei and decided to stay in Chenjiawu to give birth——
Chen Caozhi looked at Xie Daoyun who had already changed into men's clothes, frowned and said: "Daoyun, I am in a hurry for this trip and it is very hard."
Xie Daoyun said: "This is not the first time that I have traveled with Chen Lang on a long journey. I can also ride a horse, so I will never be a drag on Chen Lang. In fact, what I want most is to follow Chen Lang in the Northern Expedition, but I also know that it is not suitable."
Chen Caozhi looked at Xie Daoyun, who was dressed in men's clothes and had eyebrows flying sideways. He nodded and said, "Okay, but you should have discussed it with me two days earlier to catch me by surprise."
Xie Daoyun smiled and said, "Mr. Chen has been too busy these days."
Because he was traveling on horseback, Xie Daoyun could only ride the brown mare alone with Chen Caozhi, and he could not take any of his personal maids with him.
Farewell at Fenglin Ferry, Chen Caozhi looked at Lu Weirui and Xiaochan, whose bellies were already somewhat swollen, thinking about this departure and not knowing when they would return. The Northern Expedition was not as good as the envoy the year before last. With the war, life and death were unpredictable. Of course, he couldn't be there Showing such tragic behavior in front of relatives, he just told Lu Weirui and Xiaochan not to stay in the room all day because they are pregnant, but to move more. He has taught Wu Qin Xi. Some of the movements are violent and should not be practiced, but slow movements should be practiced every day. No, in ancient times, childbirth was a big disaster for women, so Chen Caozhi had to worry about it——
Jing Nu bid farewell to Ran Sheng with tears on the other side. Jing Nu really wanted to follow Ran Sheng in the Northern Expedition, but he also knew that he was old and weak and had a broken arm, so he was no longer suitable to join the army in the expedition.
In the violent sky, the two eagles soared into the sky. Chen Cao and his party also crossed the river and headed for Jingkou. Fortunately, the snow on the road had melted, making the journey easier than when they returned to their hometown last year. They stayed overnight on the ninth day of the lunar month. When they arrived at Wucheng, they met up with Shen Chiqian and his entourage. The Shen family's ship on the south bank of Taihu Lake had been waiting for a long time. In less than two days, they crossed the lake to the north. When they arrived at the Gu family's manor in Jinling to rest for the night, they happened to meet Gu Kaizhi, Zhang Tongyun and his wife. They were overjoyed to meet each other. Zhang Tongyun was already five months pregnant. When she heard that Lu Weirui was also pregnant, Zhang Tongyun was very happy and begged Gu Kaizhi and Chen Caozhi to tell her that if the children she and Weirui gave birth to were a boy and a girl, then they would make an arrangement. Marriage -
Marriage on the fingertips and child marriage were popular among the gentry in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Chen Caozhi responded with a smile: "Very good." With the looks of Gu Kaizhi and Zhang Tongyun, how could their children be unworthy and unworthy!
Gu Kaizhi and his wife were going back to Jiankang in the near future, so Chen Caozhi asked Xie Daoyun to stay in Jinling and return to Beijing with Gu Kaizhi and his wife. He also left two private soldiers as his followers. When leaving, Xie Daoyun was reluctant to leave, staring at Chen Caozhi with tears in his eyes. Cao Zhi comforted him and said, "Maybe I will come to the court to see the emperor before I go on the expedition. I hope I can see him then."
On the evening of the 15th day of the first lunar month, Chen Caozhi, Ran Sheng, and Shen Chiqian rushed to Jingkou. Huan Xi, Huan Shixiu, and Xie Yan had already arrived first. Xie Yan learned that Xie Daoyun would return to Wuyi Lane in the near future and said: "It doesn't matter if Sister Yuan comes back, my fourth uncle's condition is getting worse. I'm afraid-"
Chen Caozhi hurriedly asked what was wrong with him. The answer was that he was vomiting blood and eating less.
At this time, news came back that Duan Zi, a dead soldier who had gone to Yecheng to stage an alienation plot, rushed to Yecheng on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, and immediately went to Shangyong Prince's Mansion to submit a letter, deliberately thinking that he was Murong Chui, King of Wu. In the palace, Murong Ping was greatly surprised when he received the letter, and immediately went to the palace to report the Kezu Hun clan to the Queen Mother. When Duan Yu was interrogated, Duan Yao recounted the enmity between the concubine Duan and the Kezu Hun clan in the past, and scolded Murong Ping. Murong Ping ordered Execution——
Now, Murong Chui's reaction to this matter is not yet known, but it is clear that the Queen Mother of Yan Kezuhun and the Taifu Murong Ping will no longer tolerate Murong Chui, and civil strife in Yan is inevitable.
On the 16th, Huan Wen entered Jiankang from Gushu, summoned the leaders of Beifu to come to Beijing to meet the emperor, and swore an oath to go out on the expedition.
