Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 283 The Joy of Playing Zhang
  On February 20, the third year of the Qi Dynasty, it is a cold winter with heavy snow.

In Zhucheng County, Shandong Province, the inner courtyard of the Duke's Mansion was abuzz with people late at night. The maids and women were all hurriedly moving around the inner house. In the largest courtyard of the mansion, the hoarse cries of women could be heard vaguely.

As the head of the family, Wang Qi was currently wearing a plain robe and a green plush shawl. He was standing under the eaves of the corridor, looking at the main room with anxiety in his eyes.

"Let's ask again, what's going on inside?" Wang Qi was pacing in the corridor, then suddenly stood up and turned to look at Qing Luo, the personal maid next to Hai Lanzhu.

"Sir, I just went in and asked. The young master has already revealed his head. Granny Zhang also said that my wife's body is suitable for childbirth. There should be no problems with this delivery. You don't have to worry too much." Qing Luo knew that the Duke of Guo was anxious. , but in just a short time of burning incense, I have already asked three times, but I can't help at all except being flustered.

Qingluo, who was thinking slightly, smiled slightly at Duke Qi: "Master, please go down and rest for a while. Once there is news here, I will report back in time. You don't have to stay here all the time."

Ignoring Qing Luo, Wang Qi waved his hand, took two steps back and sat casually on a bench in the corridor, then stood up uneasily, gently rubbing his thumb on the jade ring of his index finger.

At this moment, listening to Hai Lanzhu's painful moans in the room, his mind was as determined as Wang Qi's, and he closed his eyes, wanting to do something, but he was powerless.

From Guangning City to Zhucheng County now, whether facing Huang Taiji, Nurhachi, or the current emperor, Wang Qi has never been so nervous.

The dignified Duke of Qi, when has he ever been so restless?
  It's probably out of concern for the person you care about most in this life.

If something happens to Hai Lanzhu, Wang Qi really has nothing to worry about in the world.

Finally, after about one stick of incense.

A loud cry of a crying baby came from the house. At this moment, almost everyone was happy.

Wang Qi, who had closed his eyes tightly, suddenly stood up when he heard the baby's cry, staring at the door not far away, his Adam's apple trembling up and down.

Squeeze!
  The door of the room opened wide from the inside, and a woman in a narrow robe walked out of the house with a happy face and bowed to Wang Qi: "Congratulations to the Duke, mother and son are safe, and I am very happy to have Yuzhang."

"Congratulations to the Duke"

"Congratulations to the Duke of the Kingdom."

Congratulations were heard from both inside and outside the courtyard.

"Everyone here is happy to be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! Each of the maids who delivered the babies will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, and the mother-in-law will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

Wang Qi waved his hand and couldn't wait to walk towards the house. At this time, the Duke of Qi, who had achieved great success in the world, no longer cared about other people's thanks and congratulations.

I'm a dad!

At this moment, the connection between Wang Qi and this world seemed to be truly connected.

In the delivery room, except for the two personal maids and Po Wen, Wang Qi had sent everyone else out and was sitting by the bed, gently wiping the tears from the corners of Hai Lanzhu's eyes.

The baby had been cleaned, wrapped in a red down quilt and held in the nurse's arms, and fell asleep quietly.

"Thank you for your hard work, madam," Wang Qi's tone was full of heartache. He gently rubbed Wang Qi's palm with his cheek, and Hai Lanzhu, who was lying on the bed, murmured softly from the end of his nose.

Three hours of labor, even though Hai Lanzhu had been riding and shooting since she was a child, her physical fitness was better than that of ordinary men, making her exhausted and exhausted, unable to speak a word.

But at this time, the woman most hopes that her husband can be by her side.
  In the following days, Wang Qi stayed with Hai Lanzhu almost every day, personally attending to her daily life, and the young master of the Duke's Palace became the center of discussion in the entire Qingzhou Palace.

"I heard that when the young master of the Duke of Guo's Mansion was born, the whole backyard of the Duke of Guo's Mansion was filled with rays of rays of light. People could see clearly from miles away. The flying dragons and colorful phoenixes overlap, it’s really amazing!”

“The entire Zhucheng County can see it clearly!”

In the Qingzhou Mansion Restaurant, several middle-aged men were describing the birth of the son of the Duke of Guo in a serious manner.

The vivid description made people think that they had really seen it.

"How can there be such a mysterious thing? There are so many rumors like this. Be careful that the factory guards will come to arrest you at night!" The man in green robe on the side tapped the table with his finger and said, "My cousin works as an errand in Jinan Mansion. I really heard that the city of Beijing, Liaodong outside the Guan, and the Gyeonggi prefectures, together with the flag of King Horqin, and countless congratulatory papers and letters, have flown to Zhucheng County like snowflakes. Even the current emperor has personally issued an edict. In order to congratulate the Duke of Qi, I specially named his son Langya Gongzi, with a living estate of 1,500 acres, and other rewards of gold, silver and silk are countless."

"Young Master Langya?" When the men at the table heard this, they all sighed: "Some people are born as young masters and come here to enjoy it for hundreds of years. There are also people who are born as oxen and horses and come here to suffer for dozens of years."

"I also heard that the emperor has issued an order for the inner palace to step up preparations for the marriage of Duke Qi and Princess Ningde," the man in green robe continued: "So, where this young master will go in the future is also unknown."

Yes, no matter what, Princess Ningde is the official wife of Duke Qi. If Princess Ningde gives birth to a son and a half daughters, then the legitimate son will be the best candidate to succeed the Duke of Qi in the future.

"I really don't need to worry about this. Even if I don't inherit the title of Duke of Qi, becoming a rich and noble son is beyond our reach."

While several people were talking, at the wine table not far away, five smartly dressed men lowered their heads to eat in silence. From time to time, they picked up tons of tea and took a few sips, and then quickly lowered their heads to seize the time to eat.

"Eat quickly, leave the city after eating, and arrive in Zhucheng early tomorrow morning." Among the few people, the man who looked like a leader had a dark face and a beard. He spoke in a low tone, but he also had the majesty of a superior. He sat there with a sudden aura that ordinary people would not dare to do. near.

"I heard that several warriors are also going to Zhucheng County?" The man in green robe who just spoke laughed and said, "You are too late to go. The entire Jiaodong Peninsula, no, the entire Ming Dynasty has gathered in Zhucheng County now." The confidants of the famous people in the north are all waiting to congratulate Duke Qi! You are only going now, and you can only live in a ruined temple in the wilderness."

"I won't bother my friend," Qiu Xu politely cupped his hand, then picked up the tea, raised his head and drank it all.

With a bang, the teacup hit the table, and the other four people also cleaned the food in their bowls.

"Let's go."

Not long after, under the gazes of the men in green robes, Qiuxuke and the others quickly disappeared.

"Qi Guo Gong, the sky is clear every day!"

In the end, the man in green robe could only sigh, full of envy and sigh.
