The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 2 Give me that little maid

In the blink of an eye, it had been more than two months since he arrived in the Hou Mansion, and Jiang Shiyi gradually understood the situation in the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Zhang is the eldest daughter of the British Duke. Mrs. Hou is the Taifu's niece. She was childhood sweethearts with Lu Tingyuan, Marquis of Dingbei, and they have two sons and two daughters.

The eldest daughter Lu Xiao married the fifth prince Cheng Yun as his concubine and had a son.

The eldest son, Lu Hao, is the heir apparent of Dingbeihou. He has grown up and is married to Xie Zhaoyu, the daughter of Duke Rong.

The second son, Lu Zhan, is seventeen years old and is studying and practicing martial arts. There is also a younger daughter, Lu Xiang, who is only nine years old now and looks very cute.

The weather in March was still a bit cold, but Haitang had already put on a pink coat and a green bracelet on her wrist, and entered the study with a tray.

Thanks to his wife Zhou's mother, Haitang, a second-class maid, was more popular than the first-class maids Jade Hairpin and Zisu. She often took away their work and showed her face in front of Lu Zhan.

"Second Master, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat!" Haitang's voice was like honey.

Lu Zhan seemed unaware. He put down his book and stood by the window, looking at the peach blossoms outside the window.

Haitang followed Lu Zhan's gaze and saw a slender figure standing in the yard, collecting petals bit by bit.

Haitang was about to say something when Lu Zhan waved to her in annoyance.

Haitang glanced at the back of the figure bitterly, then retreated unwillingly.

Everything flourishes in Yanjing's spring. Lu Zhan felt that something indescribable was born from the bottom of his heart.

He stood up and walked toward the door.

"Second Master, put on your clothes, it's cold outside!" Haitang came over with a cloak.

Lu Zhan waved his hand, "Get down!"

Haitang was stunned. Lu Zhan never spoke harshly to his servants. She bit her lower lip.

Lu Zhan walked up to her, while she was still picking up petals, her expression focused on her, and she didn't even hear the footsteps behind her.

Jiang Shiyi saw a shadow in front of her. She turned around and saw Lu Zhan standing in front of her.

Lu Zhan wore a moon-white round-neck robe today, with snowy skin and jade skin, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a string of agate beads carefully braided from his hair, adding a touch of romance to his toughness.

Jiang Shiyi knelt down and said, "Second Master."

"Get up!" The voice was like the impact of jade. Crisp and sweet, no emotion visible.

"Keep your head up."

Jiang Shiyi slowly raised his head, and Lu Zhan saw that the girl in front of him was dressed plainly, but her appearance could not be concealed.

He has a face as smooth as gel, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of big, clear and moist eyes. He is calm and composed at a young age and has a good temperament.

Lu Zhan looked at it and walked past her.

Ping An urged Jiang Shiyi while chasing Lu Zhan, "Why don't you catch up quickly!"

The peach blossoms in Daxiangguo Temple were in bloom, and Lu Zhan was invited by Xu Kaixiang, the prince Zhongyong, to attend the banquet.

Lu Zhan got on the carriage and closed his eyes to take a nap. As the youngest son of the Lu family, Marquis Dingbei was also very strict with his son. Lu Zhan got up early to study, went to the school to practice martial arts in the morning, and followed his eldest brother to the military camp for drills from time to time. The schedule of the day Very tight.

Jiang Shiyi sat on the small stool under the couch and looked at the carriage. The carriage was made of a rosewood frame, the windows were made of glass, and the lining was covered with brocade. The Marquis's mansion was indeed rich.

Her eyes turned to Lu Zhan.

Since you are serving your master, what should you do at this time? Jiang Shiyi saw a thin blanket next to him, so he carefully covered it on Lu Zhan's legs.

In fact, Lu Zhan was not asleep at all. He sat up. Jiang Shiyi panicked. There was a small coffee table in front of the couch with a kettle and a teacup. She got another glass of water, put it warm in her hand, and handed it to Lu Zhan. , "Second Master, drink tea."

Lu Zhan took the tea cup and took a sip, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Jiang and my given name is Shiyi."

"You are on duty in my yard, why don't I see you?"

Jiang Shiyi thought for a while, "I don't dare to disturb the second master's study. I go back after finishing my work every morning."

Lu Zhan stopped talking. After a while, Lu Zhan threw something over and hit her hand. Jiang Shiyi took a look and saw that it was actually a silver ingot, weighing five taels. She only had one tael of silver a month, and a cup of tea would cost her five taels. From then on...

Going to get rich?

No wonder they are all rushing to come out with their master!

There were many tourists in Daxiangguo Temple. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Shiyi followed Lu Zhan on foot up the mountain. When they reached the mountain gate, Lu Zhan stopped.

Under the big peach tree, the person wearing a royal blue brocade robe turned out to be his eldest brother, and the person next to him wearing a light blue robe and a fluttering scarf, disguised as a man, turned out to be his sister-in-law.

It’s really eye-catching! The eldest brother said he was going on an errand, so he actually brought his sister-in-law here to play.

Lu Hao turned around and saw him.

Lu Zhan walked over, stood two meters away, bowed his head and said, "Sister-in-law!"

"Excuse me, what are you doing here?" Lu Hao asked. The two brothers have a very good relationship.

Lu Zhan told the reason.

"No fighting, go home early." Lu Hao spoke very much like the old Marquis. Lu Zhan nodded and walked towards the back mountain.

The Zhongyong Hou family was a new rich man. As soon as Xu Kai entered the capital, he was eager to get to know the nobles in the capital. When he saw Lu Zhan, he hurriedly welcomed him in.

Lu Zhan looked around. He knew everyone who was rich or noble.

"Lu Zhan, you're here!" asked the first noble man wearing a red brocade robe and a golden crown.

Lu Zhan didn't expect Wei Ling to be there.

Wei Ling was the son of Duke Wei Dongyang of the Kingdom of Wei, his aunt was the imperial concubine, and his sister Wei Zhen was the crown princess.

The Wei family was a prominent family. When the prince became an adult, he behaved erratically, had a bad temper, and was greedy and lustful. Emperor Xuanhe gradually became dissatisfied. The fifth prince was born to Emperor Xuanhe's favorite concubine. According to the custom, the prince of this dynasty was vassalized at the age of twelve. Emperor Xuanhe He did not let the fifth prince surrender to the vassal, and always taught him by his side. His eldest sister Lu Xiao married the fifth prince as his concubine, and the relationship between the two families was like fire and water.

Wei Ling wanted to cause trouble for Lu Zhan.

Sure enough, Wei Ling attacked him.

Wei Ling looked at Jiang Shiyi standing behind Lu Zhan.

"Lu Zhan, give me that little maid."

Jiang Shiyi was extremely panicked. She must know that she was a maid, and maids in this era were things that could be given away. This Wei Ling is not easy to get along with at first glance.

And she heard that Wei Ling was very lecherous, and every year the Duke of Wei's mansion would carry several maids out of the back door.

"No!" Lu Zhan refused casually.

"You can't bear to part with a little maid?"

"This little maid is from my grandmother's side, and I captured her temporarily."

Lu Zhan wanted to move his dear and respectable grandmother out of the capital, and Wei Ling would definitely be embarrassed to ask for her.

Sure enough, Wei Ling didn't say anything.

Wei Ling was the little bully in the capital, so Lu Zhan couldn't avoid him, and he didn't dare to drink too much. The banquet finally ended peacefully, and Lu Zhan sat in the carriage and hurried back.

When they reached the entrance of a remote alley, the carriage stopped.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhan sat up straight.

"Prince Weiguo stopped us from passing."

Ping An said stumblingly.

Wei Ling was riding a horse and blocking the road in the middle with seven or eight guards.

"Lu Zhan, give me that little maid, and I will let you go."

Wei Ling pointed his riding whip at Jiang Shiyi.
