Chapter 21: Heirs

Whether Liu Yue'er is a concubine or a widow remarried, but it makes no difference in Lin Lian's eyes.

There are heirs to inherit, so that Lin Tie has a feeling of real integration with the world, thousands of years later, Tan Zong is like a dream that is fading away and becomes confused, and others can't understand Lin Tie's feelings at this time.

Lin Jian asked Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde and others to stay behind to accompany Sun, Zhou and other maritime merchants and clansmen who moved south, and he and Gu Junxun and his attendants rushed back to Chongcheng overnight in a carriage surrounded by the guard camp.

The ruts were rutting, the horses' hooves were rushing, Gu Junxun sat in Lin Bin's arms, his ears were close to his chest, listening to the powerful beating of his heart, he could feel Lin Bin's excitement, Gu Junxun was rejoicing for him, but also had a kind of melancholy.

It has been five months since she married Lin Lian, and her stomach has not moved, so it is inevitable that she will be a little worried and cranky.

When we arrived at Chongcheng, it was raining lightly.

Lin Jian didn't care to think about the impact of the rain on the dredging of the Salt River, he took Xun Niang's delicate and slightly cool little hand, climbed the mountain in the light rain, except for the footsteps of the guards hugging each other, there was only the slight sound of the wind and rain blowing on the treetops and mountain walls, and when he climbed to the middle of the mountain road, he suddenly heard the cry of a baby, which sounded extra clear in the silent mountains.

"Haha, this kid is going to make a fuss and not let others sleep!" Lin Jian stood on the cliff and smiled with Zhao Hu behind him, "How is it better than your kid?" ”

"That kid in my family only knows how to eat and sleep!" Zhao Hu said with a smile, his wife was the one who gave birth to a big fat boy a month before he went north with Lin Lian, and even Lin Jingzhong's wife Sun Wenpei was pregnant in Jiangning.

"Eating and sleeping is a blessing, eat a lot, sleep enough, and grow strong," Lin Jian smiled, and remembered one thing again, "Your kid will be my godson, as for whether my son will be your godson, I want to ask his mother what he means......"

"Then I have to go back and kick my mother-in-law over and do the work of Mrs. Ru, such a family can't let go." Zhao Hu said.

Lin Jian laughed and asked Zhao Hu and the guards to go back to rest first, and he and Gu Junxun walked to the inner house.

************

In the afternoon, I got the news that the fleet had docked in Hecheng, and I didn't think that Lin Jian would rush back overnight, after all, the Sun, Zhou and other clans who moved south this time were of great significance to Chongzhou, and even Cao Ziang, Sun Jingxuan and others rushed to the north to meet - Lin Tie didn't like to be sent there, especially let Cao Ziang, Sun Jingxuan and others go over, which was to show their attention to Sun, Zhou and other clans.

Except for the general Yong and the healthy woman on duty, everyone else in the courtyard on the top of the mountain also rested early.

Faintly hearing the baby's cry, Song Jia woke up, turned over and continued to sleep, Liu's side has the manpower to take care of it, and she doesn't want to join in the fun. Hao Mingyue, who was sleeping next to her, pushed her waist and said, "Someone came up the mountain to ......"

Song Jia heard the sound of intricate and wet footsteps, and said with a smile: "It's still your ears that are sharp, Lin Jian left the people who moved south from Tianjin to the south in the north, and rushed back to the mountains in the middle ......of the night, it seems that the Liu family is still quite favored" I didn't think about getting up in the middle of the night to see Lin Lian, and hugged Lu Mingyue into my arms, the mountains were still wet and cold in February, but Lu Mingyue's body was very warm, and she continued to sleep sweetly.

Lin Jian and Gu Junxun walked into the inner house, and as soon as they put down the lacquered umbrella in the corridor, Gu Yingsleeve walked out of the outer wing room in his clothes, and asked in surprise, "Why did you rush back in the middle of the night?" ”

Gu Junxun said with a smile: "I heard that Sister Yue'er was born, how can he sit still in Hecheng?" ”

Lin Jian smiled.

Xiaoman and Gu Yingsleeve both slept in the outer wing room to take care of them, took care of them for half the night, just fell asleep, slept with their eyes open, struggling to sit up in their clothes, and their bodies were still swaying and wanting to fall.

There are many people in the wing room, and there are many people who take care of it, Lin Tie pressed it lightly on Xiao Man's head, and said, "Go to sleep, be careful of catching a cold, the weather is still cold in the middle of the night." Listening to the baby's cry, he went to the inner wing.

Liu Yue'er was untying half of her shirt to reveal her bulging breasts to feed the baby, and Lin Jian didn't expect that the sixth lady Shan Rou was also here to help take care of it.

After accidentally hitting the auxiliary car in the tomb guard hut last time, Lin Jian didn't see Shan Rou for a while. Shan Rou was a little embarrassed, and said: "There must be a person who has given birth and knows how to take care of it to come and replace it, and it will be Mrs. Ru's sister-in-law's turn in the second half of the night......

In the wing room, Liu Yue'er's mother and sister-in-law were waiting closely, and they were originally lying on the couch in their clothes, but at this time, they also got up and saluted Lin Tie.

Or the year before last, when Lin Lian had just included Liu Yue'er in the room in Jiangning, Liu Yue'er's parents had to coerce Lin Lian to take 500 taels of silver before they dared to marry their daughter, and they drove Lin Lian out overnight, and he couldn't even enter Jiangning City; It wasn't until a few years ago that Lin Jian took them over from Jiangning.

The so-called wicked have their own wicked people, and the Liu family has a lot of rules when they come to Chongzhou, and the identity and status of Lin Jian are far from being comparable to those of two years ago, and the Liu family does not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.

The Liu family is a small household, Liu Yue'er is a concubine, and Gu Junxun's background in the main room is the Gu family that they can't even think of.

Although everyone calls Liu Yue'er Mrs. Ru, there is an extra word in front of Mrs. Ru, which is very different.

Lin Lian was promoted to the doctor of the court, and was knighted as the county prince, and Gu Junxun also followed the order of Mrs. Sipin, and even had a hundred taels of silver to receive every year; Liu Yue'er didn't have anything.

Liu Yue'er is open-minded, she doesn't fight anything, even if the Liu family has ideas in their hearts, they don't dare to show anything. They live in a house outside the Beishan Gate, and they rarely go up the mountain to visit, and they have some resentment towards the nearly two years they have been lost in Jiangning.

However, Liu Yue'er gave birth to her eldest son in front, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family rushed up the mountain to take care of them for two days, never sleeping. The mother is expensive by virtue of the child, and besides, the stomach has not moved for three or five months since the main room was married, and it is not to blame that the Liu family has any problems.

Lin Lian was too lazy to guess the Tao in the hearts of these women, he saw that Liu Yue'er's face was still good, but she was a little pale, and she had strength to sit, knowing that her birth and rearing were going well, so he put down most of his thoughts, walked to the bed, stroked Liu Yue'er's slightly swollen plump and beautiful face, and said, "I thought I could rush back to take care of you, and I tired you......"

"With all these stupid words, what can you do to help you rush back to give birth to a child?" Liu Yue'er glanced at Lin Jian with disgust, and said to Gu Junxun, "Hurt Xun's mother to drag down the Xianggong, and rushed back all the way to work hard, right?" Sit down, I can't get up. ”

"I heard that my sister was born, and I also wanted to rush back as soon as possible to see if I could take care of it," Gu Junxun said with a smile, asking Lin Jian to let her go over to see the baby, and his fingers gently stroked the baby's face, and said, "The child is so beautiful, his eyes are like his sister, and his little mouth is like Xianggong...... Xianggong came back and told Zhao Hu that he recognized his godson, Zhao Hu's son was black, but he took advantage of his family. ”

"It's not like you have to wait for Yue'er to nod," Lin Jian said with a smile, "Take advantage of Zhao Hu, this kid thinks he is a righteous son, you say it's okay?" ”

"It's okay to say anything, I'm still waiting for you to come back and pick up the name." Liu Yue'er was satisfied, and she didn't think much about it.

Gu Yingsleeve could guess Lin Lian's thoughts, the Liu family was a small household, and he had never liked the Liu family, so letting this house get married to the Zhao family was also to be estranged from the Liu family in the future, so that there would be no help.

The Zhao family also seems to be a small family, but the three brothers Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, and Zhao Mengxiong are all military generals who lead troops to fight.

Zhao Hu has a great relationship with Lin Tie, and he is the most trusted, and his status is still under Zhou Pu, Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, Zhou Tong, Ge Cunxin, Ao Canghai and other generals, but his status is higher than that of other generals. Zhao Bao was a sentry general at a young age, and he also made a family relationship with Hu Zhiyong's daughter, and his future is limitless.

If Chongzhou continues to develop, the Zhao family is bound to become a big clan and a Wang family, unlike the Liu family, there is no figure who can stand up to the faΓ§ade at all.

Hearing Liu Yue'er ask the child's name, Lin Jian said: "Then get the single word 'letter', 'letter and sign', I think of how many of these male and female baby names there are, just wait to press them one by one." Hehe laughed, as if imagining the scene of a house full of heirs.

"From now on, it will be called 'Xin'er'," Liu Yue'er looked at the baby in her arms with a kind face, muttered to herself, and said to Lin Lian, "In the middle of the night, Xianggong and Xunniang are tired when they rush back, let's go and rest first, here are my mother and sister-in-law, as well as the Seventh Lady and Xiaoman, take care of ......."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family were here, Gu Yingsleeve slept in the outer wing again, and Lin Jian couldn't sleep in this house, so he relied on it for a while before he went back to the mansion with Gu Junxun.

Gu Junxun was not used to sitting in a carriage galloping at night, he was so tired that he panicked, and his body bones were about to fall apart, so he went back to the house and fell asleep first. Lin Lian was excited in his heart, hugging Gu Junxun's delicate body and sleeping in a daze, and when the sky was bright, he couldn't sleep again when he woke up.

Lying on the bed and thinking for a while, he heard the baby in the courtyard waking up and crying and feeding, so Lin Jian quietly got up and put on his clothes and went to the courtyard to see Liu Yue'er's mother and son.

*************

After two months of hard work, the county finally opened the passage from western Zhejiang to Shanguan, and the soldiers of Jiangxi County were forced to retreat to Fuzhou.

Yu Wangao wanted to break through from Shanguan and worked hard for nearly three months, and finally crushed the luxury family.

Chen Zhihu continued to trap Datong, and gave the Dongyu army a siege for four months, Li Zhuo did not lead his troops out of Linyu Pass under the pressure of impeachment, but led an elite army to go through the northern channel of Taihang Mountain, and entered the northern Jin region to contain the main force of the Dongyu who surrounded Datong.

Liang Chengyi led the Qinyang army to kill the bandit leader Yang Quan (Liu An'er's uncle) in the north of Luoyang City.

Under the blows of Liang Xi and Liang Chengchong, the rebel leader Ge Ping was forced to lead the Tianzheng Liumin army to flee south to Huaibei, but the flank of the Changhuai army led by Yue Lengqiu, who was confronting Chen Hansan and Liu Miaozhen in Yingshui, was threatened.

In the case that the Liang father and son did not lead their troops south in time, Yue Lengqiu did not dare to fight alone, and was forced to lead the Changhuai army to retreat to Xuzhou. Ge Ping, Chen Hansan, and Liu Miaozhen met in Yingchuan, and Liu An'er led the main force of the Hongze Liumin Army from Nanyang along the north bank of the Huai River to the east, and came to converge.

After nearly four months of stalemate, it finally returned to the Huai River, and it seems that the Huai River is the middle line of the survival of the displaced people's army.

Lin Jian didn't care about these things, pretended to be filial piety, and after returning to Chongzhou, he also took pleasure in making children all day long, except for the new believers who summoned him to discuss matters, he did not appear in public in Chongzhou, let alone ask about foreign affairs.

King Ning invited hundreds of officials to a banquet in Jiangning, but Lin couldn't go; Yue Lengqiu returned to Jiangning to summon Jiangdong's civil and military officials to discuss matters, but Lin Jian also did not go; Cheng Yuqian summoned the generals to inspect the defense line of Pingjiang, Danyang, and Jiangning, and discussed matters with the members of the two Zhejiang provinces at the mouth of Meixi Lake, but Lin Jian still did not go. Even when Zhang Yan asked Lin Jian to discuss the matter of salt and silver to protect grain in Weiyang, Lin Jian only asked Zhou Guangnan to go on his behalf.

Although the situation in the world was chaotic, the affairs of Chongzhou were carried out in an orderly manner, and the Sun, Zhou and other clansmen were also scattered and resettled in Chongcheng, Xisha Island, Jiangmen, Hecheng and Jiuhua.

It wasn't until mid-March, when Liu Yue'er gave birth to a full moon, and the new Chongcheng was finally completed, that Lin Jian made his first public appearance after returning to Chongzhou.
