Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 753 Life and Death

"Congratulations, Commander Fu, it's a beautiful little daughter."

Rich families always prefer sons.

Because the bigger the family is, the more men it needs to protect it.

The midwife who came out to report that the baby was safe naturally understood this principle, so she spoke very carefully.

In the corner, Fujiwara Himeka was overjoyed when she heard this.

"Haha, this girl Duozi, I gave her a chance, but she was useless."

Ji Xiang raised her eyebrows and said complacently, “Forget it, our Dongying lineage still has to rely on me to be the first to give birth to a son for the Yang family.

Duozi, this girl, still needs my care and protection, hehe..."

Himeka couldn't help but laugh.

Hanane and Kona were also delighted.

After all, they were on Ji Xiang's side, and they always hoped that the God Lord would be more favored by the master.

"What? What did you say? A girl? A real girl?"

Yang Yuan jumped forward and grabbed the midwife's hand, his eyes wide open.

Is this... so angry?
The midwife panicked and said tremblingly, "Yes, yes, it's a daughter."

"Hahahahahaha... Could it be that this sour boy and spicy girl really have some miraculous effect?"

All the girls in the Yang family, including the maids and servants, were stunned.

Seeing the usually graceful Master Fushuai spinning in circles excitedly, the midwife, who hadn't reacted yet, thought to herself:

"Master Fushuai has so many sons, but he's still not satisfied. Why are you so angry about only having a daughter?"

Yang Yuan suddenly stopped, his face flushed with excitement: "Rewards, everyone in the mansion will get rewards.

Luxi, we have a daughter now, so give the four midwives some extra red envelopes."

Yang Yuan was beaming with joy. He grabbed Lu Xi's hand and shook it happily. He then turned around and asked the midwife, "Can I go in and see them now?"

The midwife then realized that Yang Fushuai was ecstatic because he had given birth to a daughter.

The midwife stammered, "Master, please wait a little while, wait for me to finish packing."

This is a rule passed down from ancient times, and there is no other particular requirement.

Just giving birth to offspring is a sacred thing.

But the childbirth process is not interesting after all.

If anyone saw that bloody scene, the strong visual impact would probably affect the future harmony between the two of them in bed.

This is not a question of love or not, but a physiological reaction, and the intensity of the effect varies with psychological tolerance.

"Okay, okay, be careful. Cleanliness is essential. Be careful not to get caught in the wind. The water temperature should not be too hot.

Also, ask Duozi what he wants to eat, and I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare it right now.”

After Yang Yuan talked a lot, the midwife walked in as if in a dream.

At this time, Yang Jie and other children also understood that they had a little sister, and they were all overjoyed.

There are only boys in the Yang family, no girls.

A group of boys of similar age, who were working together all day, had a very close relationship, but they also really disliked each other.

When they were very young, they had always thought about how nice it would be to have a gentle, well-behaved and pretty little sister.

Now that their wish has finally come true, they can't wait to go see their sister.

……

In the delivery room, Duozi's head was covered with fine sweat, his hair was stuck to his face, and there was still a slight blush on his face that had not faded.

She was extremely tired and just wanted to fall into a deep sleep, but she forced herself to stay awake and asked someone to bring the washed and swaddled child to her side.

The little baby with rosy skin had just cried for a while and now he closed his eyes and was sleeping soundly, with a tear mark at the corner of his eye.

Duozi felt a pang in his heart and his eyes became misty.

Alone in a foreign land, Yang Yuan is her only support.

But, unfortunately, her belly was not good. While other men had many boys, she gave birth to a girl.

The master will be disgusted, right?

No matter whether it is the palace or a wealthy family, anyone who is not favored by the head of the family, even the slaves and servants, will bully her in secret.

When Duozi thought of the miserable days ahead, he couldn't help but feel sad.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have deliberately angered her in front of Ji Xiang.

I thought that if the master gave birth to a boy, he would also have a boy if he gave birth to another boy, and I was no exception.

Now that I have offended her so much, she won’t take care of me in the future, right?

Thinking of this, Duozi felt even sadder.

At this time, the midwife who brought the news came back with confused moonwalks.

When Duozi saw this, his heart sank and he couldn't help but tremble.

She was afraid to hear that the master would leave in anger after hearing that she had given birth to a girl, as the news outside was already very quiet.

The midwife calmed down and suddenly said happily, "The master said that Madam Duozi and her daughter are safe and sound. He is very happy. All of us midwives will double our red envelopes."

When the maids heard this, they were overjoyed.

The money given by the Yang family was already much more than that of other families, and if it was doubled...

Several people worked more and more enthusiastically.

Duozi opened his eyes wide, tears were still in his eyes, and he looked blurry.

"Old woman, tell me, tell me, isn't my master disappointed?" "Disappointed? Gulp gulp gulp..."

The old midwife smiled like an old hen and went over to greet him: "Madam, when the master heard this, he jumped up with joy like a child.

Wow, I don’t know how many wealthy families I’ve been to to deliver babies.

Not to mention a high-ranking official like the Marshal Fu, even if he was a county magistrate, he would just smile when a boy was born, and there is no way he would express his true feelings like this."

The old woman said with great joy: "General Fu is so happy that he is giving red envelopes to all the servants in the mansion.

Oh, by the way, Master Fushuai also asked the old woman to ask Madam what she wanted to eat, and Master Fushuai immediately ordered the kitchen to make it for you. "

A warm current suddenly surged through Duozi's whole body.

All the tiredness and pain disappeared.

The master is not unhappy. No, no, no, the master is very happy. He likes this daughter...

Duozi couldn't help but look at his precious daughter who was lying beside him, sleeping with her eyes closed. He wanted to hug her in his arms and kiss her immediately.

After putting his worries aside, the intense excitement once again overdrawn his physical strength. After a while, while the midwives continued to clean and tidy up, Duozi finally fell into a deep sleep.

All the women in the Yang family gathered in the flower hall.

After Duozi fell asleep, Yang Yuan went in to see her and then hugged his daughter. When he entered the flower hall, he was surprised to see everyone there.

The Yang family has another child, but there is no need for the whole family to stay here. What is this for?

Lu Xi asked cautiously, "Second brother, Madam Duozi gave birth to our family's first daughter. Have you thought of a name for her?"

When Lu Xi asked this question, Yuye, Yingge and others all looked at him.

Although the names Yang Yuan gave to his children are all pretty good, his casual attitude when naming them is really worrying.

We won't feel at ease until we know the child's name.

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "You are curious. Well... this is the first baby girl in our Yang family. It is a great joy. How about calling her Xi'er?"

"Ah?" Lu Xi was stunned.

When Liu Yanran heard this, she hurriedly said, "If I give birth to a child, it will also be a girl."

Yang Yuan was even more delighted: "That's double happiness, it's called double happiness!"

"Sir, you can't do that!" This is Liu Yanran.

“Absolutely not!” All the girls of the Yang family said this in unison.

Yuye said coquettishly, "We just know that you, my husband, chose a name too casually, so we are waiting for you here."

Yang Yuan was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Leng Yuchan said, "We sisters have already decided that the girl's name will be chosen by sister Luxi, and you, my husband, are not allowed to ask about it."

"Okay, okay, okay, then let's go to Luxi. Really, Yang Xi, Xier sounds so nice. Yang Shuangxi is not bad either. Hey, Shuangxi, Chongqing, eh? Yang Chongqing..."

Yang Yuan was talking to himself there, and the women ignored him.

They pulled Luxi aside and started discussing the name of the newborn girl.

……

Yang Yuan's secret memorial was delivered to the emperor on August 14.

In the memorial, he first expressed his greetings to the emperor with polite words, and then talked about the situation in Sichuan and the Gorges.

Naturally, the secret discussion between Yang Yuan and Yang Liangao had never been mentioned.

There are some things that he can only do but not say, even if they are of great benefit to the Song Dynasty.

Because Zhao Yuan was a completely different person from him, he only cared about the result and didn't care about the process.

But Emperor Zhao is a person who attaches great importance to the process. For the sake of process justice, he can give up the correct result.

You can say he is stupid, corrupt and conservative, or you can say he is steady and upright, but that's just who he is.

Finally, Yang Yuan also attached a sketch of firearms development.

Except for the artillery under development, all the fire mines, land mines, muskets and "swarm" rockets that are considered mature and can be used in combat are listed.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

A blush appeared on Zhao Yuan's pale face.

"Brother Qu, I didn't make a mistake about him. Yang Yuan is indeed amazing. He has accomplished so many great things in just two years since he came to Sichuan. He is almost a year ahead of our expectations."

Zhao Yuan patted his thigh lightly, his eyes full of joy: "Once the hidden dangers in Lidong are eliminated and the signs of civil unrest are quelled, the court can start mobilizing and preparing to go to war with Western Xia next year."

Zhao Yuer smiled and said, "Yes, what we are fighting for with the Kingdom of Jin is time.

According to the original plan, we will buy two years more time than the Jin Kingdom to deal with Western Xia.

Now it seems that we can buy ourselves three years.”

Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice: "Three years, three years. With a united Western Army and the advantage of firearms, we can pacify Xixia in three years. It may not be impossible for our Song Dynasty to do it."

A trace of pain flashed across Zhao Yu's eyes, and he forced a smile and said, "Yes, three years. Three years later, our Song Dynasty may be like the Jin Kingdom that went south, crushing the enemy with ease and quickly going north to recover our homeland.

The emperor will be the place where the Song Dynasty will be revived, and he will be an emperor who can be called the ancestor! "

Zhao Yuan keenly sensed the grief in Zhao Qu's heart, her expression darkened slightly, and then she smiled with relief.

Even if I cannot become an ancestor, and let all this be accomplished in the hands of my son, then wouldn't I be equally satisfied even in the netherworld?
He didn't say much, but just patted Zhao Yu's hand gently and said softly: "Brother Yu, I'm tired and need to sleep for a while.

Go and arrange the appointment of the crown prince and the tidal bore. This is a big deal, so make sure there are no mistakes."

Zhao Qu nodded and looked at Zhao Yuan deeply again.

Zhao Yuan had already laid back on the couch and closed her eyes.

Zhao Yu stood up, bowed deeply to Zhao Yuan, and said in a low voice: "I'm leaving." Then he slowly left Zhao Yuan's bedroom.
