Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

The words are divided into two parts.

Guan Lin and his party hurried to Jiangdong by water. It was already dusk, but as soon as they arrived at Jianye City, they heard news sent by people sent by Sun Shao and Zhou Xun.

——Sun Luyu is about to give birth!
Now, Guan Lin, who had been quite calm all the way, couldn't help but become nervous.

While asking the midwife and others for relevant preparations, they immediately got on the carriage... and the group headed towards the city at lightning speed.

Soon, they arrived at the Sun family mansion, which was the mansion specially preserved by Guan Lin in the past and exchanged to the Sun family, just for Bu Lianshi, Sun Luyu and other female relatives to live here.

He didn't even send more soldiers to monitor.

In fact... ever since Sun Ce's son Sun Shao naturally replaced Sun Quan... and became the new head of the Sun family, the Sun clan no longer had any hostility towards Guan Lin and the Han Dynasty!
The women among them naturally would not have any extra thoughts.

certainly…

These are not important.

What’s more important is that when Guan Lin rushed to Sun’s mansion, he could hear “Ah, Ah…” from a long distance away. It was an extremely sharp and painful sound, a heart-wrenching sound.

At this time... the entire courtyard and outside... were filled with tension and anxiety...

The dim lights shone in the courtyard and the torches flickered, reflecting a busy and slightly chaotic scene.

Guan Lin naturally didn't know that at this moment, Sun Luyu, who was giving birth on the bed, was frowning.

Sweat soaked her forehead and hair, and her hands tightly grasped the quilt, as if... no matter how many midwives were around her,... holding something in her hands was her only support at the moment.

outside the door…

In addition to Guan Lin and his party, the sound of "click" footsteps was suddenly heard. It was a group of night travelers in a hurry. The one walking in front holding the lamp was a servant of the Sun family, and following him was a sedan chair carried by four people.

"This is just like crawling forward...If we keep going like this, it will be too late for anything over there—"

The lamplighter complained that the sedan chair was moving too slowly and kept turning back and yelling.

The wife in the sedan chair yelled, "Why are you so impatient? Let me tell you, giving birth is not something that can be rushed. I have been giving birth for most of my life, and I know what to expect. Even if this lady from the Sun family wants to give birth to a boy or a girl tonight, it will take until the second half of the night!"

Hearing this, the man who had been urging the lights to light softened and stopped yelling. He just lowered his voice and said, "This damn old woman, as long as she is right, today... let her do whatever she wants! Oh, the wealth of the Sun family... all depends on this child!"

Guan Lin discovered that the grand ceremony when he entered the Sun Mansion was not as grand as that of the midwife.

Perhaps it was because the servants did not recognize him...

All I heard was the sedan chair landing.

"Doctor, please—"

Someone has already come to meet the doctor...

Then, someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Here she comes, here comes the midwife..."

Therefore, many female relatives of the Sun family, including Master Bu Lian, came to welcome him.

This old doctor is a famous midwife in Jiangdong... Even a family as prestigious as the Sun Mansion would hold her in high esteem at a time like this.

But... as Bu Lianshi and others rushed to the door.

Including her, including Sun Luban...including Sun Ru, they were all shocked.

Nothing else…

It was true that the midwife had come, but…but following the midwife into the house was…and the man that Xiaohu had been thinking about the most, and who had made her pregnant:
It’s the fourth son of the Guan family—Guan Lin!
Beside him, there was a woman who was brave and capable. She was very close to him, as if they had a very intimate relationship.

Without waiting for the trainer to open his mouth...

Sun Shao and Zhou Xun had already arrived, "Master, Madam Xingcai... you are finally here, the baby is about to be born... Xiaohu is about to be born——"

The person standing next to Guan Lin was Zhang Xingcai.

"Xiao Hu?" she asked puzzledly.

Guan Lin explained, "Sun Quan's two daughters were named Sun Luban and Sun Luyu. Their nicknames were Da Hu for the elder sister and Xiao Hu for the younger sister—"

"Oh..." Zhang Xingcai nodded thoughtfully, and then whispered: "You are Lin... and she is Hu, it's really a match made in heaven!"

How could Guan Lin not hear the slightly jealous tone in Zhang Xingcai's voice.

only…

"Now is not the time to joke, I have to go and see--"

To have a baby.

It’s still your own child.

Even though this brief romance happened ten months ago...

There was no sound during the whole process... This even made Guan Lin feel like he was a father.

But no matter what, he was still nervous and anxious like every husband waiting for his wife to give birth...

This may...

It is destined to be the most important step for a boy to become a man.

...

In front of the delivery room, Guan Lin, not knowing whether it was because of his unfamiliarity with becoming a father or his worry about the mother and child in the delivery room, walked from a tree to a well, and then from the well back to the tree, back and forth, back and forth, all the time.

After midnight, he leaned his shoulders slightly against the treetop and squinted his heavy eyelids for a while.

"Hasn't the baby been born yet? Why is it taking so long?" Zhang Xingcai seemed even more anxious than Guan Lin. "The doctors from the government medical office did bring a few... If it's a difficult birth, don't worry about the gender difference, and let the doctor go to the delivery room to help..."

Just then...

There was a burst of urgent shouting in the room, and Guan Lin stood up straight.

"Master, Master... Congratulations, Master Guan, your wife has given birth, your wife has given birth... A daughter was born safely, both mother and daughter are doing well—"

It was still the same midwife from before. Guan Lin waited for a whole night and finally got good news.

At this time, everyone knows his identity.

However, since the decline of the second branch of the Sun family and Sun Quan’s lineage, it has been a long time since such an important figure came to the Sun Mansion...

However, Guan Lin was still a little awkward. He asked tentatively: "Can I...can I go in?"

"In reply to your question, Madam...she was particularly diligent when she heard you were outside the door. The child was even more obedient when he heard his father was outside the door. Now that mother and daughter are safe, you should go and visit them as soon as possible!"

Following the midwife's words, Guan Lin rushed in directly.

But Zhang Xingcai...

She had never felt aggrieved or resentful because of the birth of her child, but...but when the title "Madam, Madam Sun" was heard, it seemed to pluck his heartstrings.

This made Zhang Xingcai think more...

——"If she is the lady, then...then what am I?"

——"How could I have such wild thoughts? This is Yunqi's child. If she was Yunqi's wife, how could I be jealous?"

After all, this mood only lasted for a short time. Compared with the worry that was doomed to fail, she was more concerned about the child and Sun Luyu.

Thinking of this, she followed Guan Lin in.

As Guan Lin walked in...

Those who had been busy in the room quickly moved to both sides and held up red candles high.

Sun Luyu looked at the door with weak eyes, as if... as if she had been looking forward to the moment when the person in her heart would push the door open and walk in.

In the colorful swaddling clothes beside her was a baby girl with her little face revealed. Looking at the baby girl, Guan Lin was at a loss for a moment.

"Are you...are you okay?"

After a long while, Guan Lin finally asked a question.

"Yeah..." Sun Luyu responded delicately, "I...I didn't want you to know...I was afraid..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of!" Guan Lin put his index finger against Sun Luyu's lips, "You... you've suffered a lot——"

Hearing Guan Lin say this...

Sun Luyu only felt tears welling up in her eyes, and she suddenly had a strong feeling.

She...she insisted on giving birth to Guan Lin's child. This decision...must be right.

Because... even if they met again ten months later, she would still have the feeling that her heart was tightened by deep love.

Soon, this love turned into bitterness. Although she tried hard to restrain herself and not let it burst out, her eyes were eventually soaked and filled with tears, which flowed out of her eye sockets and slowly flowed down.

She could feel that because of the bond with this child, Guan Lin also became fond of her, and even wiped her tears gently with a silk handkerchief, and then caressed her tenderly until Sun Luyu stopped crying and laughed.

Later…

Guan Lin slowly leaned over to his daughter, looking at her carefully, smelling the baby scent emanating from her body and the fragrance of locust leaves and wormwood leaves in her swaddling clothes...

The child is very pretty, with dense hair on his round head, a white face... a straight nose, and delicate corners of his mouth. His appearance is perfect... It is clearly a refinement of his and Sun Luyu's strengths. Perhaps... this is the re-combination of desire and love between the two of them as a result of fate!
Guan Lin picked her up and said with a smile, "My daughter has an extraordinary ancient appearance, like a beautiful jade. Among the names I can think of... only the word 'Yan' can match her... As for the name, I believe that when she grows up, she will inherit the martial arts style of my Guan family and my literary strategy... So, let's just call her Wenwu in a more vulgar way... And her nickname, Lu Yu... This... I want you to name her..." This...

Listening to Guan Lin's words, Sun Luyu hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth twice, but swallowed the name she wanted to give twice. But in the end, she...she still mustered up the courage and said softly: "Can...can we call her Wu'er?"

吴…

As soon as this nickname was proposed, everyone in the room fell silent, and it seemed that a tense atmosphere quickly enveloped the place.

Wu… This word is too sensitive;
It's so meaningful, so profound.

How could Guan Lin not hear that this was Sun Luyu's longing for her father Sun Quan? The word "Wu" expressed her hidden and concealed thoughts, and also her father's... ambition and passion.

Thinking of this, this nickname... Guan Lin nodded heavily.

"You named it well, this is the name you should call it!"

"Guan Yan, courtesy name Wenwu, childhood name Wu'er—"

...

As the saying goes, if you don't worry about it, it won't grow.

With the careful care of his family, little Guan Yan's thirty days passed in the blink of an eye, and the "full moon day" had arrived.

During this period, Guan Lin and Zhang Xingcai settled down in Jiangdong.

certainly…

In name, Guan Lin was still the governor of Yangzhou...

It can be said that the entire Jiangdong was originally ruled by him. Returning here... is really like returning home!
It was also during this full moon period that Guan Lin held a grand full moon banquet for his daughter.

Until this day, when Sun Luyu was out of confinement, the first person she went to see was Zhang Xingcai. She even... specially chose the time when Guan Lin was very busy during the full moon, just to avoid him...

Obviously, he had something to say to Zhang Xingcai.

"I should have come to see the lady earlier..."

When she saw Zhang Xingcai, Sun Luyu bowed respectfully, her words and actions were extremely humble, and she didn't have the delicate look she had when she just came out of confinement...

"You just came out of confinement, there's no need for such etiquette..."

Zhang Xingcai quickly helped Sun Luyu up.

Sun Luyu said, "I am from a big family, so I know some rules... It is unreasonable for a concubine to not show respect to the mistress!"

"Besides, I got pregnant with the master's child as a maid... This is a serious crime. The master and the lady did not blame me... They accepted me into the Guan Mansion and gave me the title of 'concubine'. This... This is already a great favor to me... How dare I ask for more? How dare I not greet the mistress when I see her... It's breaking the rules?"

Having said this, Sun Luyu winked at the maid.

It turns out that she came with her daughter Guan Yan...

There was another wet nurse holding Guan Yan outside the door. When she heard Sun Luyu's order, she hurriedly brought Guan Yan in.

Sun Luyu took it and handed it to Zhang Xingcai.

Then he said: "The daughters born to concubines are illegitimate. All illegitimate daughters... regardless of gender, must recognize the mistress as their legal mother..."

At this point, Sun Luyu paused, as if she was reluctant to let go of Guan Yan because of the mother-daughter bond, but she still held Guan Yan to Zhang Xingcai, "According to the rules, I am only Yan'er's aunt, and Madam is her legal mother. Yan'er is so young...she should be raised by her legal mother, and when she grows up, she should also be filial to her mistress. I...hope Madam will not abandon her, and teach this girl well...so that she can learn some skills and live up to the Guan family in the future!"

At this time...

Little Guan Yan had been brought to Zhang Xingcai's hands.

But for Zhang Xingcai, how old is she? She is no longer a virgin?

It was like a taste of forbidden fruit...

But forbidden fruit is forbidden fruit!

How could she suddenly have a child to raise?

Zhang Xingcai was resistant both physically and psychologically.

She waved her hands repeatedly and carefully returned Guan Yan to Sun Luyu.

"There's no reason to foster your baby somewhere else..."

"I heard them say that having a baby... is like a piece of flesh falling off one's body. Mother and child are connected by heart, and you two are the most intimate... Naturally, you should raise this baby!"

"But..." Sun Luyu felt as if she had been pardoned, but she still made excuses, "This... this is against the rules! I... I'm just her aunt!"

Listening to Sun Luyu's words...

Zhang Xingcai waved her hand in a rather heroic manner, "I am a martial artist, I don't understand those things, you know... Yunqi doesn't know martial arts, and he is so smart and in such a high position... I think, in the future... there will be many hidden arrows around him, I think... the meaning of me marrying him and becoming his first wife... should be to protect him well? As for the Guan Mansion's backyard, please don't let me take care of it... I am fine with swords and guns, but if I really have to do the accounting and raise children... I'm afraid I will be worried to death——"

At the end, Zhang Xingcai chuckled and sent little Guan Yan back to her biological mother's arms.

"Okay... There's no need to talk about this anymore, and no need to ask any more questions. Your daughter is your daughter, and no one can take her away..."

While talking...

Zhang Xingcai turned around quite casually, and thinking about what she had just said, she felt that her outlook had improved all of a sudden.

It seems that, with such a character, she is worthy of Yunqi!
"Since Madam has said so... then I... I will be disrespectful to refuse..."

"But the stepmother is still the stepmother, Yan'er's mother, and the aunt is still the aunt... at best, she is an adoptive mother..."

Sun Luyu pursed his lips.

"Whatever you say." Zhang Xingcai didn't dwell on the details. "Well, today is Yan'er's full moon, you should take her to meet the guests. I heard that today... a lot of people from our Guan family came, including the eldest brother, the second brother, the third sister, the fifth brother... and many of the sisters-in-law. They are all here... I guess... they are waiting to meet this dear niece."

"Okay! I'll go right away..." Sun Luyu stood up and handed his daughter to the wet nurse again.

She signaled the nurse to take the child out first.

When...she and Zhang Xingcai were the only ones left here, she asked the question that she was most concerned about and wanted to know the most.

"You...you don't hate me?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xingcai raised her beautiful eyes and said.

Sun Luyu paused, but did not speak.

"Oh, you mean... you got pregnant with Yunqi's child? You became his concubine... and you share Yunqi with me?" Zhang Xingcai raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes looking at the clouds in the sky through the window.

There is an inexplicable feeling in the eyes.

"I didn't expect...sharing, such a word...Madam could say it so frankly?"

Sun Luyu sighed, a little surprised.

"So what if we share? Could I... still get mad in front of him and secretly send someone to kill you and your son?"

Zhang Xingcai pursed her lips slightly, which was rare. She, who was always heroic and capable, actually curved her lips into a shallow and moving crescent-shaped arc, as if she wanted to smile, but in the end she sighed softly and murmured.

"Actually, this kind of thing gives me a headache, too. After all, I have to share Yunqi with another woman, and even with another woman's daughter... But, so what? Since I can't forget him and can't let him go, I have to accept everything about him, including his other women and his daughter, just like I accept him... Maybe, after things here are over, I will be angry for a few days, but I just want him to coax me and let him know that I am the most important... As long as he can always put me first in his heart, I will be satisfied, and everything else doesn't seem to be that important--"

Sun Luyu looked at Zhang Xingcai.

At this time, the latter had a trace of helplessness on her face. She looked like a woman in the cold palace, longing for their emperor day and night. It was a kind of affection that could never be severed.

"I...I know..."

Sun Luyu seemed to have found the answer. She pursed her lips slightly and was about to turn around and leave, but she couldn't help but say one last word.

"I finally understand why he likes you so much, and I also finally understand...why you are the only one...who can be his first wife——"

Having said that, Sun Luyu bowed respectfully again.

Then he turned around, as if the knot in his heart was finally untied, and...he walked out of the room with leisurely steps.

But Zhang Xingcai...

It seems that I was somewhat touched by Sun Luyu’s last words, but it was more of a guess.

"Why?"

She couldn't help but ask herself, "Why did she say... that I was the only one who could be Yunqi's principal wife? What... did she mean? Did I say something... that convinced her?"

Zhang Xingcai...is still not extremely smart as ever.

But maybe...

In a relationship between a man and a woman, there is one person who is not smart. This relationship... will make both of them more comfortable.

of course.

From the first moment she saw Sun Luyu, Zhang Xingcai found the answer to the question in her mind...

Physically, between her and Sun Luyu, Sun Luyu must be more comfortable.
