Sixty-seven, the coquettishness of a talented woman
Murong Qinchen learned from Xie Daoyun that her mother, brother and family had been granted a residence in Jiankang by the Emperor of Jin Dynasty. Her brother Murong Wei had been granted the title of Xingxing Marquis. Xingxing was located in Cangwu County, Guangzhou. Of course, Murong Wei could not go to Guangzhou.
He only served as an apartment official in Jiankang; Ke Zuhunyi was appointed as the Imperial Servant; Murong Chui was appointed as the Champion General and was granted the title of Bin Tuhou; Murong Ling was appointed as the Zhonglang General of the Dian Army; Murong Kai was appointed as the Fengyi Zhonglang General; Murong De was appointed as Guangwei
General, Murong Chen is General Xuanwei. All members of the Murong royal family are invited by the court, but they are all idle positions. Although they have the rank of general, they have no soldiers to lead. Instead, Huangfu Zhen, Li Hong, Shen Shao, Liang Chen, and Feng
These prestigious ministers of the ancient Yan State were awarded the title of Shangshulang and Sanshulang, and were given these practical positions——
Obviously, Murong Wei and other old Yan princes and nobles were not very happy in Jiankang, but at least their lives were saved, and the kings and ministers of the Jin Dynasty treated them with courtesy. Murong Qinchen sighed, thinking that this was the only way he could do it.
, and thought that if Chen Caozhi's status was higher, he should be able to provide more protection to her mother and brother -
Murong Qinchen and Xie Daoyun were getting along relatively harmoniously these days. Murong Qinchen truly admired Xie Daoyun for his profound knowledge and strong memory. He seemed to know everything. When he saw Xie Daoyun assisting Chen Caozhi in handling official affairs with ease, Murong Qinchen was very envious.
, the desire to learn was even more urgent, and she seldom rode horses and archery on weekdays, thinking that she could share Chen Cao's worries when Xie Daoyun returned to Jiangdong. Of course, Murong Qinchen also had his proud moments, and she invited Xie Daoyun to go hunting in the Taihang Mountains, riding
Xie Daoyun was amazed by her archery and archery skills, but Xie Daoyun had no intention of asking her for advice——
In the blink of an eye, midsummer is coming to an end in June, and it has been more than two months since Xie Daoyun came to Yecheng. In the afternoon of this day, Xie Daoyun and Chen Caozhi were handling the official affairs of the imperial examination at the Governor's Yamen.
, Chen Caozhi said casually: "A Yuan, please go to the back hall to have a rest first. It's easy to feel sleepy in this summer."
Xie Daoyun said "hmm", stood up, cleaned his hands, and went into the back hall. Chen Caozhi and other assistant officials inspected the inspection documents reported by the counties.
They turned a blind eye to the friendly and ambiguous words and deeds. In fact, everyone was laughing secretly in their hearts. They all thought that the civil servant named Xie was the male favorite of the Governor of Chen. However, this male favorite was very talented and many public cases troubled him.
It was easy to solve the problem there. Governor Chen all respected and loved him, and the rest of the officials naturally did not dare to disrespect him——
Jizhou began to conduct a general registration inspection in mid-May, and the affairs were extremely complicated. At the end of last year, more than 4,000 Xianbei noble families moved south, leaving behind a large number of manors and tenants. In addition to rewarding meritorious soldiers, those manors were all taken over by Chen Caozhi.
The government owned it, but most of the serfs and tenants on the manor had fled. Some became refugees, and some were recruited and taken in by other Hu and Han landowners. There were hundreds of thousands of hectares of land owned by the Jizhou government, but there was a serious shortage of laborers. Chen
Although there was great resistance to Cao Zhi's attempt to obtain households that could serve and pay taxes for the government through this major registration inspection, the aristocratic families in Jizhou wanted to show their goodwill to Chen Cao Zhi to gain a smooth official career because the regime had just changed.
Not daring to confront the government excessively, the registration inspection was carried out smoothly——
A subordinate official came to report that a messenger from Governor Chen of Western Liaoning Province had arrived. Chen Cao knew that it was Ran Sheng who sent him, so he ordered him to see him. The messengers were two of Ran Sheng's personal guards, and they presented a letter in Ran Sheng's handwriting. Ran Sheng is now
He was already proficient in calligraphy, and he could write "Cao E's Monument" in Han official script quite well. When Chen Caozhi read the letter, he found that it was Gao Song. Xie Yan and his party arrived in Youzhou at the beginning of the month. Ran Sheng received the official title and now has
She was the governor of Xiongzhen. Ran Sheng learned from Xie Yan that Xie Daoyun had arrived in Yecheng, so he sent someone to greet Xie's sister-in-law and said that he would visit Yecheng in August. Ran Sheng and his brother Chen Cao
It has been almost a year since they were separated. I miss them very much and want to get more news about Chenjiawu from Sister-in-law Xie——
Chen Caozhi received Ran Sheng's letter and came to see Xie Daoyun in the back hall. There was a quiet room in the back hall for Chen Caozhi to take a nap after working hard. There were couches and chairs. Chen Caozhi walked to the quiet room and saw Xie Daoyun lying on his side on a low bed.
On the couch, the maid Yin Feng sat aside and wiped Xie Daoyun's face with a silk handkerchief. When she saw Chen Caozhi coming in, Yin Feng quickly stood up and said: "Chen Langjun, Madam A Yuan just now——"
"Yinfeng, please go out for a while. I have something to say to Chen Langjun alone." Xie Daoyun interrupted Yinfeng.
After Yin Feng withdrew, Chen Caozhi sat down on the chair in front of the couch, held Xie Daoyun's hand, and asked softly: "What's wrong? You're tired, aren't you? I'm so busy with paperwork. I need to have a good rest. I'll let you know tomorrow."
I will take you to Taihang Mountain to relax."
Xie Daoyun did not sit up, but was still lying on the couch, curled up, looking a little carefree, and asked: "Will Mr. Chen accompany me?"
Chen Caozhi hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'll go with you tomorrow and I'll be back that day. You and Qinqin stay there to cool off, is that okay?"
Xie Daoyun said in a greasy voice: "I want Mr. Chen to accompany me more -"
Chen Caozhi was a little surprised. Xie Daoyun rarely behaved like a little girl like this. It was really fresh and exciting at the same time——
Xie Daoyun blushed. She was not used to being coquettish like this, so she sat up and said, "Mr. Chen, check my pulse. I've been feeling a little unwell these past few days."
When Chen Caozhi heard what Xie Daoyun said, his heart trembled. Xie Daoyun had lung disease. Although he had recovered, he was still too tired to worry about. If he died because of helping him take care of his official duties, he would regret it. He immediately calmed down.
, breathe evenly, close your eyes and concentrate on feeling Xie Daoyun’s pulse——
After a while, Chen Caozhi opened his eyes, suppressing his joy, and asked: "How many days have it been since your period? It seems to have happened on the fifth day of last month -"
Chen Caozhi really remembered everything. Xie Daoyun's cheeks flushed and he whispered: "It's just that he hasn't been here since last month."
Chen Caozhi was overjoyed, kissed Xie Daoyun hard on the lips, and said in her ear: "Farmers work hard, and the harvest is in sight."
The blush on Xie Daoyun's face extended to her neck, and she was uncontrollably embarrassed. Although she had guessed this was the result, but now that her husband confirmed it, the huge happiness still made her dizzy. She was about to become a mother. Since Lu Weirui, a child
The invisible pressure that had lingered on Chan after she became pregnant and gave birth to her child was now gone. She came to Hebei from thousands of miles away from Jiangdong. Although she was visiting her husband and assisting him in handling government affairs, deep down in her heart she still wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible.
Giving birth, well, that’s it, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about——
Chen Caozhi was overjoyed and said: "That's good, that's good. Dao Yun is also going to give birth to a child for me. I like both boys and girls."
Xie Daoyun was very happy and said: "Then I want to give birth next spring?"
Chen Cao said: "Yes, it's about early February, which is a good time."
Xie Daoyun said: "Then can I still go back to Jiangdong this year? Or should I leave in the near future?"
Chen Caozhi shook his head repeatedly and said: "There should be no bumps in the beginning of pregnancy. Don't worry. I will arrange everything. I will send someone back to Jiankang at the beginning of next month to report the good news——"
Xie Daoyun said hurriedly: "Don't report the news in such a hurry. Let's wait until Huang Xiaotong comes back from Qiantang."
At the end of April, Chen Caozhi sent Huang Xiaotong back to Qiantang to give birthday gifts to his son Chen Bozhen and his daughter Chen Fangyu. Thinking about it, he felt ashamed. The two children were already one year old, but they had not yet seen their father!
Chen Caozhi called Yin Feng in and sent Xie Daoyun back to Bingjing Terrace.
When Yinfeng learned that Mrs. A Yuan was really pregnant, she smiled with joy and carefully supported Xie Daoyun. It was like Mrs. A Yuan had now become a porcelain figure. She was afraid of being damaged. At the same time, she also felt a heavy responsibility.
Madam A Yuan is the only one here to serve her, Yin Feng.
Xie Daoyun shook his head and said with a smile: "Is it necessary to be so cautious and walk on thin ice?"
Chen Caozhi also laughed, remembered Ran Sheng's letter, took it out and showed it to Xie Daoyun. Xie Daoyun said: "Xiao Sheng is coming to Yecheng, that's great! By the way, Chen Lang, when I left Qiantang at the beginning of the year, Jing Nu said to me
He said that Xiao Sheng is twenty years old this year. Since the Northern Expedition has been successful, it is time for Xiao Sheng to get married and have children. Please ask Chen Lang to take care of Xiao Sheng and find a good woman. If a good date is set, Jing Nu will not hesitate to come and participate.
Xiao Sheng’s wedding.”
Chen Caozhi raised his eyebrows: "Oh, Xiao Sheng is twenty years old this year. Xiao Sheng can be called the youngest prefect in history. Well, when he comes to Ye, I will ask him what kind of woman he likes as his wife.
?”
For some reason, Xie Daoyun frowned and said, "Mr. Chen must go back to Jiangdong this year or next year. My sister-in-law said that you have to make the final decision on Zongzhi and Runer's marriage."
Chen Caozhi patted his forehead lightly: "Yes, yes, Run'er is fourteen years old this year, and Zongzhi is sixteen. It's time to talk about marriage."
…
When Murong Qinchen learned that Xie Daoyun was pregnant, he was extremely curious and envious. After having fun with Chen Caozhi that night, he shyly answered the question: "Husband, Qinqin also wants to give birth to a child for you. When can I give birth?"
Chen Cao said: "You are only fifteen years old, still young."
Murong Qinchen was unconvinced and said: "I am too young, my queen mother gave birth to my royal brother when she was only fourteen years old!"
Chen Cao pressed his hand on her breasts. Well, they were firm and round. They were really not small. Xianbei women matured much earlier than Han women. Even among Han women in Jiangdong, many gave birth to children at the age of fourteen or five. He said:
"Okay, let's give birth."
Murong Qinchen secretly smiled, turned sideways to touch Chen Cao's neck, and said delicately: "Come on, let's give birth."
…
At the end of July, Shen Chiqian of Gong County sent a letter to Chen Caozhi. It turned out that Huan Xi, the governor of Sizhou, could not go to the post because his mother, Princess Nankang, passed away, so Huan Mi was appointed as the governor of Sizhou instead. Huan Mi had arrived in Luoyang a few days ago and started to build a large-scale construction project.
A palace was built to prepare for the move of the capital. In addition, Yuzhou governor Yuan Zhen was seriously ill. Zhu Fu, the prefect of Chen County, received Yuan Zhen's secret instructions and reported to the court that he wanted Yuan Zhen's eldest son Yuan Jin to succeed him as governor of Yuzhou. However, Huan Wen refused.
Everyone in the court discussion knew that Huan Wen wanted to leave the position of governor of Yuzhou to his son Huan Xi——
