Chapter 145 Quota
Tiande 19th May fifth day

After a few years, the army of the Great Qi State marched to southern Xinjiang again, and this time Rong Chen was also among them.

Rong Chen went to visit the former prince before leaving, and then returned to the mansion until he went to Princess Danyang's mansion the day before the expedition, and never went to other people's place again.

He Jitong looked at the news about Rong Chen in his hands these days, and pursed his lips: "How is Zhao Yang's affairs going?"

A man with a short beard beside him said with a smile: "Since the young master Zhao wants to join the army, he has to open the door of convenience. Besides, the young master wants to hide the truth from the people in the house, probably because he wants to give them a surprise, so we naturally have to Just help a little bit."

Zhao Yang didn't know what kind of nerves he had, but he also wanted to join the army.

Mrs. Yongyi Hou's Mansion is naturally reluctant to let such a sweetheart become a soldier, this is a terrible thing.The tragedy of the last southern border war has not been completely forgotten.

Mrs. Yongyi Hou sent someone to stop Lord Zhao Xiaohou.

For this reason, Lord Zhao Xiaohou was so angry that he did not go home for several days.

Although Mrs. Yongyi Hou felt distressed, she didn't want her grandson to lose his life because of his ignorance. Compared with this, starving for a few days is nothing.

This incident happened to be known to He Jitong.

Only then did the secret help come.

When the Yongyi Houfu realized it, the name was fixed and could not be changed.

"This time the southern border war..."

"I'm afraid it can really be plated with a layer of gold."

He Jitong squinted his eyes, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, if that Zhao Xiaohou can really survive, that is his luck.But this kindness...,

He Jitong has repeatedly checked his whereabouts these days, and except for visiting the former prince, which is somewhat suspicious, other places are quite satisfactory, and no one can find any mistakes.

Now Jinshang's body is getting worse and worse.

He Jitong secretly knew about the recent pulse case. Now that he knew about it, He Jitong didn't doubt that the princes were also aware of such a situation.

Now... is the time to choose a position.

"Rongchen is still being stared at, so be careful..." After all, it is related to Princess Danyang's mansion. In He Jitong's view, those descendants of Princess Danyang are more literati, who like to read books and don't like official careers. , was not a threat to He Jitong at all.But Rong Chen was different. From the moment he saw him, He Jitong had an intuition that this person would threaten him.

The prestige of Princess Danyang is still there today, and it is not difficult to say that she still has connections in the army.

Right now, it seems that Rong Chen is the only one who can inherit.

If the object of the two people's allegiance is the same in the future, then it will be a help first and then a threat.

But if the objects of the two people's allegiance are different, it will be a fight.

While he was thinking, someone suddenly spoke outside.

He Jitong glanced at it, walked to the door, opened it, and closed it before anyone outside could react.

"whats the matter?"

He Jitong's complexion darkened, and he said displeasedly.

The important place of the study, I have already told others that if I am here, I will not allow others to disturb me easily.

He Jitong thought that his servant was good, no one would dare to disobey his words, but the person in front of him must have something important to say.

This is why He Jitong didn't let someone drag him down directly, but suppressed his anger and asked questions.

"Master, great joy."

He Jitong narrowed his eyes, waiting for the man to continue.

"Liu Yiniang fainted just now, she called the doctor and said she was pregnant."

He Jitong was startled.

Then he passed the man and walked straight outside.

He Jitong has quite a few aunts, and there are also some rooms.The second girl has been in poor health since she got married, Mrs. Ru Yang naturally felt sorry for her son, and arranged for him a lot of women.

Every time He Jitong went there, he would ask someone to arrange soup and medicine, which is why He Jitong still had no children after so many years.

It's just that Miss Six went to her place before He Jitong went to Yan Mansion...

Didn't expect it to happen.

He Jitong walked quickly to his yard.

"Master."

"Where is the lady?"

"It's in the warm pavilion."

He Jitong heard the footsteps going forward, turned right and went to the Nuan Pavilion.

"mother……"

When He Jitong entered the door, he saw Uncle Ruyang sitting there drinking tea.

"Ji Tong, come here."

He Jitong stepped forward and randomly found a place to sit down.

"This child..."

"No." Comrade He Ji said.

Mrs. Uncle Ru Yang was slightly stunned, and said after a while: "Although it is not suitable to have a concubine before a concubine, you are not willing to let you marry a regular wife these years. It doesn't matter if you stay. Firstly, heirs are a big deal. You don't have a single child so far, and your father has objections. Secondly, it can be regarded as a sweetener for the Yan family."

He Jitong's face was a little impatient, and a figure flashed in his mind.

"mother……"

Madam Ru Yang looked at him.

"Then keep it."

The people from Uncle Ruyang's Mansion laughed: "That's right. What your father meant was that he would step forward and give you the title when you have it. But... Regarding your marriage, what do you think? At that time, there must be a mistress in the mansion."

"Your mother." He Jitong stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look first."

Mrs. Uncle Ru Yang accepted it as soon as she found it good, and she knew that He Jitong was dissatisfied, so she didn't try to persuade him any more.

At least now there is a child in the mansion.

He Jitong sighed, and went out with a sullen face.

At first, he only thought that Liu Yiniang was lucky to have a child.Now it seems that the mother is probably doing something.He Jitong always knew that even though he was born as Uncle Ruyang's eldest son, he was the only child in the manor.However, Uncle Ru Yang also had concubine sons outside, but they were not brought back to the mansion due to the difference in education, but instead let them be self-reliant.

On the one hand, it is to prevent the son-in-law from being framed by the son-in-law, and on the other hand, it is to motivate those people.

If there is an eventuality...

The first son is gone, and the second son is still needed to replace him.

This is the tradition of several generations of Ruyang Bofu, and it will be the same when He Jitong gives birth to a child in the future.

Miss Six was touching her lower abdomen with joy on her face. A mother is more expensive than a child, and her future life can be imagined.After hearing that the prince was coming, the sixth girl hurriedly got up.

"Master."

When He Jitong entered the room, he saw Miss Six looking over with tears in his eyes.

"Yeah." In fact, the sixth girl was born well, and she is also a beautiful person, especially the tears in her eyes are even more lovable.But He Jitong glanced at it and said, "It's been a few months."

The sixth girl was stunned, and quickly said with a smile: "It's been two months, my son, you are going to be a father."

He Jitong nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Miss Six's belly and he paused for a moment.

"Take good care of your baby."

The sixth girl hurriedly responded.

He Jitong felt restless and left after a short stay.

……

The news that Miss Six was pregnant quickly spread to Yan's residence.

"It's true, God bless you." Old Madam Yan was taken aback for a moment, then clasped her hands together and said happily: "This is a happy event for our family. I just think Liu girl is a good one. Now... this is Uncle Ruyang's first child."

The eldest son has always inherited the position, but it is not uncommon for the second son to stand out.

No matter what, Mrs. Yan only thinks this is good news.He Ji has quite a few concubines, and now he doesn't have a regular wife. Now the sixth girl from Yan's house has a child, and they will have to take the opportunity to establish a relationship in the future.

The fourth girl looked at the old lady Yan's eyes and her eyes darkened, and jealousy welled up in her heart.

"This...is really a good thing." The eldest lady had a wry smile on her face.

Old Madam Yan only glanced at her, and asked Mama Wang to go to the storeroom to get the medicinal decorations, and was going to send them to Uncle Ruyang's mansion.Old Madam Yan thought that if Miss Six is ​​smart, she should understand that having a child is good, but it also depends on whether she can survive, and she must not be alone. If she is smart, she must know that she must rely on the strength of the Yan family.

If you don't understand, that's okay. If Wang Mama passes by, you have to analyze it with her.

The eldest lady looked at the old lady Yan's mobilization, and thought that the dead second girl was angry and hated, but she couldn't show it on her face. Instead, she laughed and said a few words, and then she left according to the reason.

Old Madam Yan also knew that it was really difficult, seeing that she was not causing trouble in front of her, she just opened one eye and closed the other and followed the eldest lady.

Then the people in the second room also left.

The Elder Master and Mama Wang got into a carriage and went to Uncle Ruyang's Mansion together.

Not long after the second wife returned to the house, she received the news.

"Don't worry, mother won't let you feel wronged." The second wife looked at the fourth girl.

The fourth girl pursed her lips and remained silent.

"You go back first." The second wife sighed and waved her hand.

After the fourth girl left, the second wife threw the cup in her hand at the second master who was sitting beside her.

The second master was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted to avoid it.

"You crazy woman, what are you trying to do?"

"What are you doing?" The second wife rushed over and grabbed the second master and beat him: "Didn't you say you got on with the person above. How much money did I give you, where is the person now?"

The second master's eyes dodged a little, and he muttered: "How can this matter be so convenient, it needs to be done slowly."

"You..." The second wife was furious: "You are proud, your sixth girl has a body, you are happy, I know you don't like fourth girl at all."

"Nothing." As soon as the second master opened his mouth, the second wife scolded his head and face: "Nothing, you think I don't know that you secretly took the money and gave it to her, otherwise she would be in Ruyangbo's mansion." How do people survive? I thought you said you wanted to match up your daughter, so you didn’t know about it. But now? The money has been paid out, what about people? If I knew that there would be such a day, I would have married the fourth girl in the first place. Go to the Ruyang uncle's mansion."

The second wife was cursing, she had completely forgotten that Miss Six was just going to be a concubine, she was not married at all, even if she was replaced by Miss Four, she would still be just a concubine.

Uncle Ruyang's mansion will definitely not agree to let the fourth girl become the wife of the eldest son.

The second master was also annoyed when he heard it, and said that he was no match for the second wife, so he just flung up his sleeves and went out.

The second wife was so angry that she smashed again.

What happened in the second bedroom soon spread to the Rongshoutang. Mrs. Hu just sneered when she heard it, and then began to think about how the fourth girl's marriage should be done.

At least she must be able to make some contributions to the mansion so that it is not a waste of raising her.

Qing Huan, who was in Cheng's mansion, didn't know about the excitement in Yan's mansion.

Princess Danyang was a little depressed.

This time the army started much earlier than originally planned, many people were caught off guard, and Princess Danyang was also unprepared for a while.Originally wanted the old subordinates to go with Rong Chen to avoid the same situation as last time, but there was nothing he could do.

It was not until the middle of May that Qing Huan returned to Yan's Mansion with Mancao and others.

Yan Jun was left in the Cheng residence.

Because of guilty conscience, no one in Yan's mansion raised this issue.

On the first day back home, the eldest wife found Qing Huan.

"Eldest lady, sit down." Qing Huan personally brought the tea and put it in her hands.

The eldest lady put down the teacup and looked at Qing Huan disapprovingly.

Qing Huan looked at her puzzled.

"I heard that you expelled Aunt Liu?"

Although it was a question, Mrs. Tong's expression was clearly affirmative.

Qing Huan didn't mean to hide it at all, not to mention that Aunt Liu is a member of the third room, and the eldest wife and the others can't control the matter, so she simply nodded and said: "Aunt Liu's kindness to our siblings, let alone just Excluding the slave loan, even if it is worth giving away the wealth of the family, what do you think, Madam?"

"Yes, that's the truth." The eldest lady's smile was a bit forced.

Qing Huan ignored her, and only asked about Miss Liu.

"You didn't come back a few days ago, the son of Uncle Ruyang accompanied you to the mansion once, and you became pregnant a month after you went back." The eldest lady said.

Qing Huan was startled, she didn't know Miss Six was pregnant, the question just now was just because she didn't return home last time, and wanted to ask about her return.

Didn't expect... to have a baby so soon?

Qing Huan suddenly felt a little chilly.

"What's the matter with you?" Seeing that Qing Huan's expression was really a little bad, the eldest lady couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Qing Huan twitched the corners of her mouth: "Last night I slept a little late, I was tired."

"Then you rest first." Seeing this, the eldest lady got up and was about to leave.

Qing Huan wanted to send it off in person.

The eldest lady stopped her: "You are not in good health, it is better to rest well, do we still need to be so polite?"

Qing Huan nodded in agreement, but still asked Ling Lu to take the eldest wife back.

"Girl, are you okay?" Not only the eldest wife, Mancao also saw that Qing Huan's face suddenly became ugly when he was talking to the eldest wife.

Mancao naturally would not believe her explanation to the eldest lady just now.

Qing Huan shook her head, and said absent-mindedly: "Go to Miss Wu's place and tell her about going to the Qionghua Banquet. It's the first time Miss Wu went there, and there are some things she doesn't understand."

Mancao knew that the girl wanted to be alone for a while, so she hurriedly responded and went out.

When leaving, Mancao closed the door with his backhand, and called Xiangnong and Youyuan Haosheng in a low voice to watch, if there was any movement inside, he should be vigilant.

Qing Huan heard the conversation outside the door in the room, just smiled, and then went to lie down on the bed.

The son of Uncle Ruyang...

Qing Huan only remembered that He Jitong had no children the last time, but this time it was Miss Six who had one.At that time, Yahuanduo wanted to conceive a child, so she took a lot of bitter medicine willingly.

But since then, the medicinal soup has been changed.

It is said that it is a medicine that can regulate the body, but it is better to say that it is a medicinal soup that destroys Yahuan's life step by step.

Until Ya Huan died, wanting a child was her long-cherished wish.

Unexpectedly, Miss Six could achieve it so easily.

Qing Huan didn't know what mood to use to face this kind of thing, she could only be thankful that at least she didn't have to face Miss Six.Otherwise, she was also afraid that she couldn't help but speak ill to Miss Six.

It was Ya Huan back then that made Qing Huan feel bad.

Such a beautiful sister, from expectation to hope, to disappointment and despair in the past few years, Qing Huan watched every step of the way.

Mancao went to Fifth Girl's yard, and soon everyone in the house knew that Seventh Girl in the Qionghua Banquet House had received an invitation, and many people were very envious.

Just thinking about it for a while, Mama Xia had a good relationship with Miss Seven, and Qing Huan had been to Princess Danyang's mansion before, so she felt that it was not surprising to have an invitation.

Therefore, it is the fifth girl who is in the limelight in the mansion now.

In recent years, the fifth girl has kept a low profile, except for the people around her, even the people in her own yard often ignore the existence of such a master, let alone other people in Yan's residence.

On many occasions, Miss Wu could barely hear her speak.

But I didn't expect... this time the five girls of Qionghua Banquet could go together.

Those who are interested think about it, and soon associate it with the fact that Miss Seven had a good relationship with Miss Five when she first entered Yan's mansion.

"Perhaps this is the real reason." For the matter of Qionghua's banquet invitation, all the masters and masters in Yan's mansion came to Rongshou Hall, and the old lady Yan also heard the rumors in the mansion, and thought about the situation at that time. Such.

It's just that the relationship faded a little later.

Now it seems that it is not at all.

"Si girl, what is your relationship with Qi girl?" Mrs. Yan asked.

The fourth girl said in embarrassment: "Seventh sister and I are naturally the same as the fifth sister, but... I think I have been there once before, but the fifth sister has not been there, so..."

The implication is that the relationship between Seventh Miss and Qing Huan is not so good.

It's just that Qing Huan took pity on the fifth girl who hadn't been there before, so she took her with her.

Even though the eldest wife scoffed at Miss Si's words and didn't believe her, she could only smile and not think about it.Now she doesn't have a single daughter by her side, and the fifth girl reluctantly still calls her aunt. If she really has a future in the future, it will be her honor.

Besides...

The eldest lady smiled silently.

Isn't there still a place for the Qionghua Banquet?

One post can allow three people to pass by, but now Qing Huan has one, plus a fifth girl, isn't there one more?The eldest wife knew that the fourth girl was so calm, so she must also understand this truth.

Just relying on Mrs. Yan's thoughts, even if the fourth girl didn't mention it.

Mrs. Yan will also bring up this matter in front of Qing Huan.

"By the way, didn't I hear that there is still a place, so it's just right for the three girls in our house, and the sisters can go together to take care of them." As expected by the eldest wife, the second wife quickly talked about this matter.

Old Madam Yan's eyes lit up, and her heart was obviously moved.
