Chapter 417
Wang Yanqing's hand was unconsciously placed on his lower abdomen, and now it feels unreal. Could there have been a little life here? She panicked: "But I don't know anything..."
"It's okay." Lu Heng put his palm on her slender hand, silently protecting his wife and children, "I don't understand either. Let's learn together."
It was just after the New Year, the weather was cold and the atmosphere in the capital was languid, but the Lu Mansion was like a formidable enemy, and the guards were heavily guarded. Even Lu Heng didn't care about the affairs of the military governor's mansion, and ran home whenever he was free. .
What a workaholic Lu Heng is, there must be something else behind him. Everyone was secretly on guard. However, when the chūn flowers were blooming, there was a sudden good news from the Lu mansion that Mrs. Lu was pregnant.
After Xu Hai, the leader of the pirates, was beheaded, he fought for another year in the southeast, captured Chen Dong, and surrendered Wang Zhi, and finally cut off the internal response of the Japanese pirates, and began to encircle the Japanese in all directions. The overall situation of pacifying the Japanese has been decided, Fu Tingzhou was transferred back to the capital, and Hu Zongxian took over the post of Fu Tingzhou and was promoted to the governor-general of Nanzhili.
Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang became famous in the past two years. The army they led was called Yu Jiajun and Qi Jiajun by the common people, and also called "Yu Long Qi Hu".
When Fu Tingzhou returned to Beijing, it was the first snowfall in Beizhili. Fu Tingzhou was a little unaccustomed to suddenly returning from the wet and cold Jiangnan to the freezing capital. Guo Xun personally took people to the city gate to meet Fu Tingzhou, and when he saw him, he couldn't help laughing: "Good job, your military exploits are spread all over the capital, and this battle was fought beautifully!"
Fu Tingzhou smiled calmly and said, "Thank you Marquis Wuding, it's everyone's credit."
Guo Xun disapproved and slapped Fu Tingzhou on the shoulder: "That's inseparable from you, the governor. Of course, the coach has the most credit for winning the battle. You go to the palace first, and when you come out, come directly to the Marquis of Wuding, and I'll give it to you. Celebrate!"
Fu Tingzhou responded with a smile. In Zhenyuan Hou's mansion, Hong Wanqing waited left and right, but Fu Tingzhou never came back. She couldn't hold back her breath, and called someone to ask, "Where's Lord Hou? Didn't the letter say that Lord Hou could arrive in Beijing today, it's getting dark, why haven't you seen Lord Hou?"
The servant ran to the front yard to ask, and when he came back, he said, "Lao Madam, Madam Hou, the Hou Ye went to the Marquis of Wuding after leaving the palace. The Marquis of Wuding held a banquet today, and many honorable and military generals came. already."
Hong Wanqing responded in disappointment, but when Chen heard it, she was very happy that her son was the protagonist of the banquet, and said happily: "It turned out to be going to the Marquis's Mansion. Ye Anxin is going to the banquet in the Guo Mansion, and the family is not in a hurry."
Mrs. Chen was relieved to know that Fu Tingzhou came back safely. His son was there, and it was okay to see him the next day. Why would he bother their men? The Fu family's young ladies are also rejoicing, their elder brother has made a contribution, and their marriage has also risen. The Fu family was overjoyed, and even the maids were smiling, but Hong Wanqing sat in the upper room, silently out of place.
In the mansion of the Marquis of Wuding, Gongchou was wrong, singing and dancing were swaying. The whole room was full of princes and military generals, and they would definitely ask the dancers to help. Guo Xun was a connoisseur of fun. Before long, the people in the field were so drunk that they all flirted with the dancers.
There were two beautiful dancers beside Fu Tingzhou, one on the left and one on the right, one poured wine for him and the other served him vegetables. The people next to him saw it and laughed: "Zhenyuan Hou hugs from left to right, so happy!"
When the two dancers heard it, they lowered their chins shyly, but they looked at Fu Tingzhou quietly with affection and wink. Guo Xun heard it in the main seat, and immediately said in the direction of Fu Tingzhou: "If the Marquis of Zhenyuan likes it, both of them will send you. You are fighting outside for two or three years. It's time to have an heir."
The Prince of Yongping Hou was sitting not far away, and when he heard Guo Xun's words, he didn't say anything. He is Hong Wanqing's elder brother. Of course, he knows that his younger sister has no son yet. However, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. How can he still have trouble with Fu Tingzhou at the wine table for the sake of a married sister?
What's more, the person was sent by Hong Wanqing's uncle Guo Xun. Obviously, in Guo Xun's eyes, Fu Tingzhou, who has just made a great contribution, is much more important than his niece Hong Wanqing.
Others also responded: "Yes, even Governor Lu has a son. If you don't hurry up, you will be the last in Beijing."
Fu Tingzhou has always been at ease, half acting on the scene, half withdrawing. But when he heard this sentence, he was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Lu Heng has a son?"
Fu Tingzhou knew that Lu Heng was promoted, but he didn't know that she was pregnant. He missed so many things in the year he was not in the capital?
Others said carelessly: "Yes, if you come back late, a few days earlier, you can still drink his son's full moon wine."
Many people at the table were drunk, taking advantage of the drunkenness, many words that they dared not say when they were sober came out: "He has children at his age. He married a wife when he was young, and he didn't move for several years after he got married. I thought he was really not very good, but I didn't expect to have a son."
"I heard that her wife has a cold body and is not very good at giving birth. She has been drinking medicine in private."
"Then why don't you take a concubine?"
"Who knows."
Hearing this, Fu Tingzhou asked, "His wife is drinking medicine? What's going on?"
The people at the wine table looked at each other in dismay. They were a group of big men who said that the private affairs of their female relatives were not very good. One person shrugged and said, "I don't know either, but I heard my wife mention it by chance. It is said that Mrs. Lu was injured in her early years and was almost infertile, but now Lu Heng has a son, and he looks quite good on the full moon seat. Sturdy, it should be well nourished."
