Yan Cigui

Chapter 497 Extra 3 Peace (Full text completed)

The day Lin Yunjing gave birth was the Shangyuan Dynasty.

After the seal was sealed a year ago, she returned to her uncle's house to live there and 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 "drove" Yu Pu to the uncle's house.

“It’s important to stay with your wife, why don’t I live 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 home 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 to come down.

  Anyway, he has a lot of free time after being sealed. He is not afraid of the cold, so he just needs to make more trips.

This child was born with the eager anticipation of the elders.

 Starting in the morning, Qingpu Courtyard immediately became busy.

After hearing the news, Yu’s mother came over. She and Huang were excited and worried at the same time. They stood in the corridor and prayed to all the gods.

When he heard the baby cry, Yu Pu raised his head and glanced, seeing 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 picked up 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 about it," 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 take it by himself. He was afraid that he would not know the severity of the injury and hurt the baby.

Yu Mu was on the side giving him guidance.

Yu Pu held her tightly, feeling the small soft ball, and tears suddenly 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 carefully asked and confirmed that both adults and children were okay that I breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, after being promoted to a great-grandmother, little Duan was filled with emotions.

Mother Yu choked up 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 surrender my son so that he could get a good name and get an official position. No matter how much I wanted to help him, there was nothing I 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…”

Little Mrs. 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 were moved to tears with emotion. When they heard the child crying, they no longer cared about themselves and hurriedly looked at him.

Timing 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 extremely happy: "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 happy 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. I saw Yun Ding carrying her back in the sedan chair and her shoulders were all wet.

She refused to get her hijab wet, so she greeted Yunding's clothes. She was just being careless. "

"That's natural." Lin Yunyan didn't know Lin Yunfang's little thoughts. "It's not easy for her to embroider a hijab, and she will definitely be reluctant to let it go."

 When I joke about my sister, I can’t stop talking.

 The more I talk about it, the more I miss it.

Soon, Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian left the capital again, heading all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.

The greenery is getting thicker and thicker. When we arrive at Yuhang along the river, the Duan family is waiting on the shore.

This is Lin Yunyan's first visit to the Duan clan, and she is unfamiliar 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 birth brother Hao, and that she would catch up on the road and return to Beijing in time to drink Sister Zhu’s wedding wine.

Hearing this, Lin Yunfang's heart skipped a beat.

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 to take a boat to the north.

Duan Zhihuaiyuan also liked to travel to Huaiyuan. He traveled to many places and had many exchanges with Xu Jian on the way.

 “Compared to the Duke, I still have a lot less knowledge.”

Xu Jian looked not far away. Sister Lin Yunyan gathered together and talked 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 Look at 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 welcomes the bride, her face is full of spring, and she plays and plays all the way.

After the ceremony was completed and the banquet opened, the groom did not bother to pay respects to relatives and friends, but first took Xu Jian, the best man, to have a drink.

 It is impossible to drink.

Of course, Xu Jian would not do anything to get the groom drunk. The bridegroom was the one who kept 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 wash himself.

 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 government to introduce some famous local businessmen.

Jing Dadan was naturally among them, pretending to be polite and polite as if he were meeting Xu Jian for the first time.

 In this way, the friendship with the Jingdong family has passed.

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, Lin Yunyan last heard news about Jing Dadan, that is, after the flood.

 The "disaster victims" rushed into Jing Daduan's granary and mansion, burning, killing and looting. Jing Daduan fled all the way to the capital, and finally delivered a message to Xu Jian...

 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 just a side view, he could later submit it to the Holy Emperor.

 Desilting, opening waterways, etc., even if you have to obey fate, you still have to do your best.

 They just hid from the limelight for two years, not that they did not return to the court.

Xu Jian wrote a thick excerpt of what he saw and heard in the south of the Yangtze River. He took it to the capital from Jingdong's family and handed it 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 the appearance of Yumen Pass countless times. It must be very tall so that it could withstand the long swords of Xiliang's cavalry. However, when she actually looked at it, she realized that it was even taller than she thought.

 At present, there are still large troops stationed at Yumen Pass, but calm 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 swept away by the garrison, making the caravan's travel much more convenient and safer.

Lin Yunyan saw caravans from different places leaving and entering the customs, the camel bells were ringing, and everyone was excited and wanted to make a lot of money.

 Safety was assured, Lin Yunyan also walked out of the door to take a look.

 The soldiers guarding the pass were very enthusiastic when they saw 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 to the city wall and told Xu Jian about the situation at the pass in the past two years.

"Yumen Pass was repaired a few years ago, so it's not a problem," Shi Lei said. "The three passes that were taken back 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 or labor, which one is missing?"

 “Materials.” Shi Lei said immediately.

 Xu Jian smiled and said, "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.

 While passing through Guanzhong, they visited Dr. Zhang.

Because of their travels, Doctor Zhang no longer needs to live in Beijing permanently, 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. Many injured people come from far away to visit him. The medical clinic is much more grand than what Lin Yunyan remembered. 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 pain when the weather gets cold, I won't lose my 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 him and kick him away from Xiliang, don't go to the battlefield to fight head-on. He 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 injury, no matter how it is injured, whether it is 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 the leg to recover.

 Afraid that "things will turn into extremes".

When the little princess said that she had cut 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 goes 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, you will no longer be easily hindered by your injured leg.

 This is already good.

 I returned to Beijing 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 say hello.

The Queen Mother held her hand and looked her 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 less flesh, 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.”

 The next year will be the 16th year of Yongjia.

 She wants 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. He 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." He just thinks and gives orders."

 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."

This is how people are.

I just got a good piece of tofu, and I can’t wait to taste it right away, adding fuel and fanning the flames.

 After that period of time, 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.

 Be steady and don't be impatient, which is most suitable for the Lin and Xu families to be pure ministers.

There were of course overtures of goodwill in the court, but Xu Jian rejected almost all of them. The reason was very straightforward: to return home to accompany his wife.

 Because Lin Yunyan is happy.

　After returning to Beijing and settling down, the child came and was praised by the elders as "sensible and interesting".

The empress dowager was very happy. Not to mention the gold and expensive things as a reward, she was concerned about the children's clothes, hats and shoes. She wanted rich and comfortable clothes for both men and women. She even wanted to prepare attire from birth to wedding.

“I don’t even know whether I’m tall, short, fat or thin, so you think so far,” Lin Yuntan said with a smile, “It’s okay if you make it bigger, but if you change it a little, you won’t be able to wear it 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 as well." said the Empress Dowager.

Lin Yunyan said hurriedly: "You are too anxious."

“At the age of the Ai family,” the Empress Dowager sighed, “I’m afraid that I 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 Queen Mother didn't understand and didn't care. "The Ai family likes to make the cloth. They supply the cloth to the Shangfu Bureau from their own pockets. 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.

The 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 in the evening.

 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, and became a lot rounder. The anxious doctor quickly said that it was almost done and that she would no longer be able to gain weight.

The relatives were worried and happy, but Lin Yunyan herself was in a calm mood and practiced boxing with Xu Jian.

 Slow down and move your muscles.

Mrs. Xu came to visit 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 had to wait patiently.

Even though 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: "Why don't you give me a reminder?"

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 interesting."

Xu Shizhen got it started. 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 is an old nun in the palace, selected by the Empress Dowager.

She comforted Lin Yunyan: "Don't worry, everything will go smoothly. It's still early. You need to eat something to build up your 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 of the country should go to court."

 Xu Jian's mind was obviously not on Shang Chaoshang, but she went to change clothes anyway.

 He didn’t want the little princess to be distracted.

 It means giving instructions inside and out before going out.

 Wait until daybreak to report a message to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion. The concierge should hitch up the carriage so that if anything happens, Mother Ma can rush to Cining Palace immediately.

Mrs. Xu sent him off with a smile: "A-Ping and I will sit in the side hall and won't move a step. Don't worry."

 Xu Jian was still worried.

Human nature.

Meeting 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 going on this morning. It was just that the officials were quarreling, and you came and I refused to give 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 your injuries are almost healed?

　　It used to be so cold that it hurt to stand for a long time. It's getting colder now, 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.

Just when An Yibo was thinking about opening his mouth to act like a "peacemaker", he saw Xu Jian taking a step forward.

"Two gentlemen," Xu Jian said in a deep voice, "You can't understand 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’s a good one, I’ll send you two there later?”

How can you continue to argue when you are interrupted like this?

 Everyone rolled up their sleeves and turned their faces away and said nothing.

The Holy Emperor retreated. When he passed by Xu Jian, he whispered: "I don't think you are interested in having fun anymore."

“Today is not the right time to have fun,” Xu Jian said.

The Holy Father laughed and left.

Hunting to see the holy driver off, Xu Jian 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 Yue was still flustered, but she still comforted Xu Jian: "Production is time-consuming. When Yun Yan was born, it took more than a day and was very tiring. Don't be anxious when you wait."

Xu Jian responded, thinking in her heart that a "sensible and interesting" child who came as soon as she 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 footsteps suddenly stopped, he turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of the delivery room in surprise.

He has good ears and can hear different movements 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 over 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 love her so much."

Mrs. Xu smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.

 She was not in a hurry to ask the princess about her condition.

The nanny from the palace can be so happy, I think the princess must be safe and sound.

 Xu Jian went to hug her daughter after her body felt cold.

 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 she was born quickly, so 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: "Yeah..."

 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 be very energetic and strive for a stable and stable future for the Duke of Fu and the Prince of Chengyi.

The story of Yan Cigui ends here, but the lives of Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian will continue.
