Three Kingdoms

In spring, everything grows, and people are no exception. It is a good time to be full of spring.

Although winter came late this year, no matter how much I miss it, I still leave with the coldness of winter. In such a warm season, many people in Pingyang City, especially the gentry children, will take advantage of the warm Fenshui River and the beautiful outdoor scenery to carry out a series of activities.

In some of the better places in Fenshui, there are many families going out for spring outings and gatherings every day. The gatherings of immigrants, poets, and literati are also frequent. It seems that the lack of activities that have been frozen for the whole winter is all at once. Complemented the same.

Even if the weather is not good and the spring rain is continuous, people can always find some beautiful manor houses. In the halls of the houses, they can recite poems and make friends, watching the clear spring rain falling on the green and red, adding to the poetic feeling, and then drinking and mingling with each other. exchange information.

Among all the information, naturally the most popular one is that General Zhengxi has an heir. Although it may take some time to get the idea, and it is not clear whether it is a boy or a girl, it does not prevent many people from starting to Speculations started, and the bad guys even opened a handicap...

From officials like Xun Chen to ordinary clerks patrolling the streets, not only did they not get angry at these guys who dared to speculate on the belly of General Zhengxi's wife, some people even participated in the stalls. For these people, giving birth to In fact, whether it is a boy or a girl is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to confirm that General Zhengxi can give birth... ahem, wrong, it is General Zhengxi's wife who can give birth.

Whether he is a male or not is no longer the most important question. Anyway, General Zhengxi is so young. As long as he has his first heir, there will be a second one, and then there will be a third one, and a fourth one. She is a woman, so isn’t it okay to recruit a son-in-law...

Anyway, in the past few days, Pingyang City has been filled with a happy and peaceful atmosphere.

Regarding the concept of heirs, people in the Han Dynasty have always liked gourd babies. A string of them is so good, but in later generations, those who only have one child will be dragged to the silkworm room and beheaded if they have too many. I think the people of the Han Dynasty must have Will he boil with anger?

This period is also the most lively time in Pingyang City. Although it may not have the so-called Qinhuai style and the romantic appearance of Jinfenshili in later generations, when the harsh winter passes and everything revives, this is why the surrounding caravans rush over to supplement the supplies. When selling goods.

With the prosperity of the two cities in the east and west, restaurants and restaurants are also the center of all kinds of news in Pingyang at the moment. Therefore, not only officials, but also ordinary merchants and even ordinary people gradually know about this matter and are very happy. There was a lot of discussion, as if this was not just a matter for General Zhengxi, but a matter for all of them.

At the same time, after Taishi Ci from the south moved into Hedong, Hedong's economy, which was originally thought to be somewhat affected by Wei's rebellion, also picked up again.

Hedong had been relatively implicitly affected before. Although the top leaders of the economic system headed by the Wei family in the Pi family of Anyi had changed a lot, some powerful people from aristocratic families had also been greatly affected by this chaos. The impact, but fortunately the chaos did not last long, and after the Wei family was removed, the extra blank space was quickly filled by others, giving more people a chance to come forward, and the replacement of the old with the new was counterproductive It injected more vitality into the original economic system, so that in the Hedong area, there were more merchants and travelers traveling from north to south.

Fei Qian naturally did not participate in these matters that were no longer a big deal. Wenxi and Pei were also well-behaved, so they let go for the time being.

Ever since Zhang Yun confirmed that Huang Yueying was pregnant, the most important thing at the moment was naturally to let Huang Yueying take good care of the fetus.

As for the possible chaos in the north and west, before Fei Qian could settle down, there might have been some bad effects. But now, especially after learning that Fei Qian will have an heir, whether it is Pingyang is still elsewhere, and the officials and soldiers under the three-color flag seem to have eliminated all worries in their hearts and become closer and closer. Therefore, at this time, it seems that the problems in these two places are actually like jumping off the bridge. The clown's commotion cannot make much waves.

When the messenger from Longxi came, indicating that Li Ru was gradually making plans, it gradually became a matter of time before Longyou returned to the tricolor flag. Although Ma Chao and others may still think that it is far away anyway, and the expedition to the west He may not be able to think about it, but according to Li Ru's temperament, people with such thoughts will most likely not get many good fruits.

Coupled with the cooperation of Jia Xu and others in the land of Sanfu, it is estimated that Ma Chao, who swallowed Longyou, would not even belch. Although Fei Qian didn't know how to do it, Li Ru, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu worked together to trap Ma Chao. Haha, Ma Chao probably didn't even know what happened until he fell into the trap.

As for Fei Qian, at this time, he naturally stopped participating in such "little things" and let Li Ru and others do their best. Feiqian has done many things in the Bingbei area in recent years, and has achieved great military exploits in the north and south, plus his current inheritance. In the eyes of many people, he is already a person of inestimable weight. Of course it’s not suitable to do everything yourself anymore.

In Bingbei, most people know how Fei Qian got to where he is today step by step. Even Xianbei, who was previously feared, seems to have had both of his legs broken by Fei Qian, and he doesn't dare to show his head at all. Even the Hongnong Yang family in the south suffered big losses under the tricolor flag...

Although not everyone witnessed such events one after another, the name of General Zhengxi became louder and louder, and the tricolor flag gradually gained more weight in people's hearts.

Because of this, Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, although he was still in his early twenties and not yet in his thirties, in the eyes of others, he seemed to have an aura of calm but power. In the early days, there may have been some gossip about the so-called incompatibility of virtue, but now it has basically disappeared without a trace. At least in Pingyang, no one wants to waste their time talking about it. Everyone is here. I understand that no one may be able to bear the consequences.

On the other hand, after the news of Huang Yueying's pregnancy came out, it was like giving an opportunity to the surrounding noble families. Those who had some contact with Fei Qian came directly to congratulate him. Those who didn't have much connection also tried their best to find someone to find a relationship. Not only Huang Bai They also gave away gifts to others, including some singers and dancers with delicate features and enchanting bodies. They had the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the fact that the real wife could not bear the favor.

Fei Qian naturally doesn't care much about these things. Anyway, Xun Chen is the great steward of Pingyang. If we follow the system of the Han Dynasty, Pingyang is Fei Qian's small kingdom, and Xun Chen is the minister of this small kingdom. They have to take care of internal and external affairs, and it is also a good thing for the surrounding gentry and nobles to give gifts. If they don't accept them, these nobles will feel uneasy, so they accept all the gifts without rejecting them.

In the past few days, Fei Qian spent most of his time with Huang Yueying at home, chatting, walking, and sometimes peeling some fruits for her, or playing chess with her. As for matters related to steel or the workshop, he left them alone. Huang Yueying stopped, not allowing her to worry. Although Huang Yueying is not as young as she was when she first got married in Jingxiang a few years ago, and she has grown up a lot after eating too much beef and mutton from the Northland, she is still only eighteen years old after all, and she is still in the early stages of pregnancy. , it is not good to consume too much mental and physical energy, it is better to rest and wait until the fetal position is correct, then it will be considered safe. So Fei Qian also stayed in the house, sometimes telling her some stories, or lying by the bed, casually telling her stories about future generations, stories from this novel, and sometimes even humming them softly. A song or two...

Fei Qian more or less has a soul in later generations, so he doesn't think there is any problem in doing these things. The kind of people in later generations who secretly eat their wives during pregnancy basically show little sense of responsibility. And Fei Qian was a man in two lives and was about to usher in his first little life. How could he do such a thing?

Although Fei Qian himself didn't think anything was wrong, how many men in the Han Dynasty would stay with their pregnant wives like this? Although the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is not as serious as in Song and Ming Dynasty, the fact that the powerful General Zhengxi can do such a thing is enough to make Huang Yueying's heart warm and her nose somewhat sore.

One time Fei Qian came in and saw Huang Yueying leaning on the bed and crying. After seeing Fei Qian, he quickly wiped it away and showed a bright smile...

"What's going on?" Fei Qian sat aside, reached out and took Huang Yueying's hand in his, and asked. Pregnant women have greater mood swings. This is a physiological problem, and Fei Qian understands it somewhat.

"It's okay..." Huang Yueying shook her head, a slight blush emanating from her wheat-colored face. She bit her lips. After a while, she curled her long eyelashes around Fei Qian's figure and leaned into Fei Qian's arms. , listening to the thumping heartbeat, suddenly felt so warm, hummed twice, and whispered, "...If I had known...if I had known, I should have asked Sister Cai to come earlier..."

Although it is said that hot filial piety has passed, even if Huang Yueying does not pay attention to it, Cai Yan will not pay attention to it. People in the Han Dynasty still believed in ghosts and gods.

"What are you thinking about?" Fei Qian was angry and funny.

"...Sister Cai...Sister Cai is better than those..." Huang Yueying pouted, her pink lips coming together like petals in early spring, "How about...a little ink fountain? A small ink fountain is also good... …”

"Boom!"

Before Fei Qian had time to speak, he heard the sound of something knocking over outside the house, and then Xiao Mo Dou apologized in panic: "Ah... I... I wasn't careful... I... I'll hit it again." Basin of water..."

Then Xiao Mo Dou didn't wait for Fei Qian and Huang Yueying to say anything, and ran back in a panic. After running a few steps, he heard another "Oops". He didn't know if he bumped into or tripped something.

"As for you, don't think too much..." Fei Qian stretched out his hand and rubbed Huang Yueying's head, "You shouldn't let your mood fluctuate, and don't think too much... It's not good for your health..."

"You really don't want to?" Huang Yueying opened her big eyes, and her eyes as black as ink jade rolled around, "Little Mo Dou is really good..."

Fei Qian couldn't breathe, so he patted Huang Yueying's butt gently, "Little Mo Dou is still young...I'm worried about you..."

Huang Yueying was patted, and she was a little shy. She tied her hair and pretended to be an ostrich. She arched her left side and moved her right side. She suddenly raised her head and said, "Mr. Lang, tell me...if you give birth...to me, what would you like to be called?"

"Well, you can choose a nickname..." Fei Qian didn't care too much. These days, in fact, the father does not have much right to name his children. Most of them are decided by elders or masters. And even if the name is decided, it will be changed when the child grows up, and even the font size will be changed. It's not like in future generations, when you change your name, you have to prove that you are yourself.

Of course, Fei Qian sometimes seriously thinks of some better names, but anyway, it will take a long time to officially name the child, and he also has to write a letter to confirm the opinions of Mr. Taishan and Mr. Pang De. For now, There's really no need to be too anxious.

Fei Qian was not in a hurry, but Huang Yueying was very concerned about it. She licked her fingers happily, thinking about one name after another, and whispered quietly, like a happy kitten purring.

"Your Majesty..." At the gate of the inner courtyard, a maidservant ran over and bowed down outside. "A message came from the front yard, saying that Xun Dongcao was asking for an audience..."

Xun Chen?

Fei Qian frowned, Xun Chenlai must have had something big happen.

Huang Yueying raised her head. Although she was a little reluctant, she still pushed Fei Qian and said, "Go..."

"Okay, I'll go take a look and come back later..." Fei Qian casually adjusted the brocade backrest for Huang Yueying and said, "If you feel bored, you can walk in the courtyard... but you can't run away, you know?"

"Uh huh huh..."

Huang Yueying nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then watched Fei Qian walking towards the front yard, her eyes gradually becoming dazed.

"What did Lang Jun mean when he said that Little Mo Dou is still small?" Huang Yueying couldn't help but touch the place where Fei Qian had just patted her, "You mean... it's small here? Lang Jun likes big ones? Isn't Little Mo Dou big?" ? Well, it doesn’t seem very big...Sister Cai, Sister Cai seems to be bigger... No wonder..."

Touching and thinking, Huang Yueying's face suddenly felt a little hot.

Huang Yueying was thinking wildly when Xiao Mo Dou walked in with a basin of water and a low eyebrow. Seeing that Fei Qian was not there, his tense shoulders suddenly relaxed and he seemed to exhale secretly.

"Little Mo Dou, come here..." Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and then waved.

"Mom...what...what's going on..." Little Mo Dou walked over, rubbing his fingers involuntarily.

"Turn around..."

"Oh...ah, little girl, what are you going to do..."

"Don't move, I'll just touch..."

"Little girl, little girl, you can't touch it, you can't touch it there..."
