Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 56

After Fu Heng sent the doctor away, he returned to the room and saw Tong Wanrou still leaning on the soft pillow with an unbelievable expression. Seeing Fu Heng coming back, he wanted to get up, but was stopped by Fu Heng.

"Lie down, I'm tired enough today."

Fu Heng pinned the broken hair on Tong Wanrou's cheeks back, and said to her in an ordinary and indistinguishable tone.

Tong Wanrou grabbed his hand, covered her stomach with one hand, and said, "Master, is this true? I'm really pregnant?"

Fu Heng laughed, and scratched her nose: "What's so surprising. We've been married for more than two years. Isn't it normal to be pregnant?"

Tong Wanrou took a deep breath, bit her lower lip, and then said: "But... I don't even know when he went in, it was too sudden."

Fu Heng kissed her on the lips helplessly, and said, "Yeah, I also think this kid is ignorant. Why didn't he say hello to his parents when he went in, did he?"

Tong Wanrou heard that Fu Heng was teasing her, tapped him lightly on the shoulder, then lay back on the bed, and said:

"Then what shall we do from now on?"

Fu Heng shrugged, took off his shoes and socks, climbed onto the bed, and said, "What can I do? Starting tomorrow, I will go outside and find two stable women who specialize in serving pregnant women. You can eat whatever you want and drink whatever you want." , Sleep when you should, take care of yourself, and the child will be happier."

Tong Wanrou took a deep breath, and listened carefully to her husband's guidance. Fu Heng lay down beside her, and stretched out his arms to hug her. The excitement swept away the mood of the two of them as parents.

The two hugged each other, imagining a lot about the future, and even talked about the issue of how many children will be born after giving birth, and just chatted for half a night like this one after another.

Fu Heng got up early the next morning and went to the yamen as usual.

Tong Wanrou slept late yesterday, she had been drowsy for the past few days, but this time she fell asleep until the end of the day, and it was Xiao Cui who worried about coming in and calling her to wake up.

Sitting on the bed and stretching, after getting out of bed to wash, Xiaodie came in with several maidservants, carrying seven large plates and eight large bowls, and placed them on the round table one by one. Tong Wanrou walked over and pointed and asked: Is it breakfast or lunch?"

Xiaodie and Xiaocui smiled, and said: "This is the breakfast that the adults ordered. Madam gets up late, so I will eat some first, and let the cook bring lunch later."

"After eating so much, how can you still have lunch?"

Tong Wanrou was speechless, it must be because of her fighting power last night that scared Fu Heng, so she ordered the people below like this, Tong Wanrou sat down and looked at the table full of things, and said:
"Take this as lunch. After we're done, tell the chef not to serve me."

Taking advantage of the time when Xiaodie served her porridge, Tong Wanrou touched her stomach curiously, but felt nothing. Thinking of the appearance of Concubine Xian when she was pregnant, she was really curious, her stomach would change after a while. Is it too big?
After eating, Tong Wanrou wanted to sit in the garden and rest for a while, but someone from the porter came to pass the news, saying that a Mrs. Zhizhou and another female family member came to visit.

Tong Wanrou recalled in her mind what Madam Zhizhou looked like, she was a bit different from the Madam Zhifu in her 50s, she seemed to be a beautiful woman in her 30s, when everyone gathered together, she always surrounded Tong Wanrou, holding Tea handed water, very polite.

Although she didn't really want to see her, she would be considered arrogant if she didn't see her. Tong Wanrou had to ask Xiao Cui to comb her hair in a simple bun, changed into a loose and elegant casual dress, and went to meet Mrs. Zhizhou.

Mrs. Sun Rufeng of Zhizhou stood up immediately when she saw Tong Wanrou, and saluted her. Tong Wanrou smiled at Yanyan, took her hand, and helped her up. After several greetings, she asked:
"It's been a few days since we left that day. I don't know why Madam came here today?"

Sun Rufeng smiled very flatteringly at Tong Wanrou, seeing that Tong Wanrou's eyes kept glancing at the woman behind her, she generously introduced:
"This is the wife of Luozhi County. I heard that the magistrate is sensible and has the demeanor of everyone, so I brought her here to pay a visit."

Tong Wanrou turned her eyes and looked at Mrs. Luo, only to see Mrs. Luo stood up, and gave Tong Wanrou a respectful gift, and then asked the accompanying maid to bring a seemingly heavy brocade box offer.

The brocade box was placed on the table. After Madam Luo opened it, Tong Wanrou couldn't help being surprised that the thing inside was actually a Bodhisattva made of pure gold, which was as high as two palms. in place.

Tong Wanrou was puzzled: "This..."

Mrs. Naluo said: "Madam, this is a piece of respect from my lord, please accept it."

Tong Wanrou looked at her calmly, closed the box with a smile, and said, "Ma'am, you won't be rewarded for nothing, this gift is too heavy, I can't accept it."

Sun Rufeng glanced at Mrs. Zhizhou, and then saw that Mrs. Zhizhou covered her lips with a handkerchief, and then said to Tong Wanrou: "Madam, this is a wish from Mrs. Luo and Master Luo, please accept it. Luo My lord has always been hospitable, you and your lord governor are here for the first time, and this kind of thing will be inevitable in the future, so let's accept it."

Tong Wanrou switched eyes between them twice, and then drank tea noncommittally, and asked a question by the way:
"It's useless, so I can't be rewarded. I don't know if Mrs. Luo can ask for something?"

Sun Rufeng and the Zhizhou man looked at each other, and Mrs. Zhizhou nodded to her, telling her that this matter might be possible, and asked her to tell the truth.

I only heard Sun Rufeng say to Tong Wanrou:
"Madam is really kind-hearted. My lord has been the county magistrate in Ningyuan County for more than three years. However, Ningyuan County is the most remote in Shanxi. The land is barren and the villagers are poor. They can't make any political achievements at all. Therefore, I mentioned it to the superiors several times. , failed to be promoted, if Madam has the opportunity to speak a few words of kindness for my lord in front of the Governor, then Sunniang and my lord will definitely regard Madam as a god and worship him sooner or later."

Tong Wanrou drank a few sips of tea, just as Sun Rufeng finished speaking.She put down the glass, looked at Sun Rufeng, and didn't speak for a long time. Sun Rufeng was guilty of being watched by her, and hurriedly said:

"All you need is a few good words from Madam, and nothing else is needed. There is no rush to do this, as long as Madam keeps it in mind."

Tong Wanrou smiled and glanced at Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Zhizhou, then smiled at them:

"The two ladies are really too polite. I will definitely tell my lord about this matter, but I can't guarantee whether I can help lord Luo."

When Sun Rufeng heard Tong Wanrou's acceptance, she nodded hastily: "Yes, yes, as long as Madam conveys our filial piety to the lord, we dare not force it to make things happen."

"..."

After sending the two out of the mansion, Tong Wanrou returned to the living room and opened the box. Seeing this, Xiaocui and Xiaodie were speechless, saying that they had never seen such a big golden bump.

Tong Wanrou weighed the Golden Bodhisattva with her hands, at least it weighed fifty or sixty catties. Is this something that a poor county magistrate can take out casually?She didn't tell them that she would accept the things, and she didn't promise anything, Tong Wanrou decided to leave the things just like that, and tell him in detail when the husband came back in the evening.

She got up late in the morning, so Tong Wanrou was very energetic all afternoon. After reading a book for a while, she kept writing at her desk. She didn't know if she was pregnant or not. Even her sense of smell became very sensitive. I just felt that the fragrance of ink was stronger than usual It's refreshing and soothing.

When Fu Heng came back in the evening, he saw Tong Wanrou standing behind the desk. After looking at her results all afternoon, he forcibly pulled her away so as not to make her tired.

At dinner time, Tong Wanrou told Fu Heng everything about the lunch. Fu Heng was also very surprised and said:

"Luozhi County... Luo Sanping?"

Tong Wanrou shook her head: "I only know that he is the magistrate of Dingyuan County, but I don't know his full name."

"Dingyuan County..." Fu Heng pondered: "That's right. He was just proposed by the magistrate two days ago to grant a sentence, and now he comes to my residence to give gifts, but why?"

Tong Wanrou was also very puzzled: "He was promoted a few days ago? Then what is his wife doing here with gifts? Could it be that he thinks that in such a short period of time, he can be promoted to another level? It's too greedy."

Fu Heng thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, he didn't want to be promoted to another level, but he wanted to drag me down their muddy water together. I accepted their gift. If this matter is investigated in the future, I will also Can't get away with it."

"Ah?" Tong Wanrou was shocked by Fu Heng's explanation: "These officials are too bad, aren't they?"

Fu Heng snorted coldly, then said nothing more, Tong Wanrou asked again: "Then the Golden Bodhisattva, I will send them back tomorrow?"

If it is really accepted, Xianggong will not be able to clean up even if he has to jump into the Yellow River in the future.

Unexpectedly, Fu Heng shook his head and said, "You don't need to pay it back. Tomorrow, I will ask Kuai Ma to send this Golden Bodhisattva to the Procuratorate. Your Majesty hates corruption and accepting bribes the most. Let's keep this Golden Bodhisattva as evidence. If something happens in the future, it will be liquidated together.”

What happened next was not for Tong Wanrou to intervene.

After the couple had finished their dinner, Fu Heng took Tong Wanrou out for a walk. Although the streets of Taiyuan were not as wide as those of Beijing, they were still very lively at night. Although there was no lantern festival today, there were still many people coming and going on the street.

After walking around for a while, Tong Wanrou reported the day's work to her husband. About the fact that she slept until noon, she wanted to hide it, but who knew that someone had already learned about it from the maid, which made Tong Wanrou feel a little embarrassed , Fu Heng put his arms around her shoulders and said:

"From now on, go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. It's best to let Xiao Cui and the others accompany you out for a walk. Tell the cook what you want for lunch. I have already asked the housekeeper to add two more cooks to the kitchen. Let them change day and night. You can always think There are people cooking in the kitchen for eating. Also, I am now looking for my mother-in-law, and I should be able to live in the mansion in a few days. By then, I can rest assured that they will follow me during the day."

Tong Wanrou quietly listened to her husband's meticulous arrangements for her, her heart was warm, and before she knew it, she touched her belly again, wanting to convey the sweetness in her heart to the baby in her belly.

Baby, baby, can you hear me?You, Amado, love us, so we have to be good, and we can't let you, Amado, worry about it.

Fu Heng turned his head and saw Tong Wanrou smirking alone. He looked down and found that she was stroking his stomach. He couldn't help being amused by her action, so he put his arms around her waist and said:
"You don't think he can hear you now, do you?"

As he said that, Fu Heng's hand moved up unconsciously, but Tong Wanrou slapped the back of his hand lightly, and said, "Since he can't hear you, why did you touch it?"

"..."
