Space-time SWAT

Mu Fangrui was half lying on the bed, her face was a little shy, but more joyful.

She has turned 22.In the capital, several of her close friends have already married, and their children are all running around, and it is hard to say whether they are envious or not.She was able to conceive within three months of marriage, it was God's blessing.She silently recited a few times to the Buddha, put her palms together and bowed to the air, and decided to go to Wenshu Monastery to burn incense and pray to Buddha after she was firmly seated, and asked the Bodhisattva to bless her to get a man in one fell swoop.

There is good news from her side. Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Huang and several sister-in-laws all visited her and gave her many gifts.After Mu Boming's wife heard the news, she also came to visit her with her daughter, and told her in detail the precautions during pregnancy.Although it was inconvenient for Mr. Lu and Lu Haocang to come to see her, they also rewarded many precious things.

Lu Zhaolin has always been very busy, and can only go home for one night every five days. At this time, he just sent someone back to give her a set of jewelry, telling her that she has worked hard, and let her have a good rest, so that he can have a good rest when he next takes a bath with her.She knows that her husband is a person who does important things, and he is busy with official duties outside every day, and has not found a woman, so although she is a little disappointed, she has no complaints.

Mu Fangrui's pregnancy did not go beyond Lu Zhaolin's expectation, it was planned by him.During the few days when Mu Fangrui was the most fertile, he asked Luo Li to implant his genes, prompting her to conceive naturally.This child is very healthy, with good qualifications, and he is probably a son.He didn't specifically ask for it, but the children conceived this way seem to be mostly boys, for reasons that are unclear.

During Mu Fangrui's pregnancy and childbirth, he could justifiably not touch her, and of course he wouldn't touch other women either. He lived a relaxed life and gained a good reputation, so he was really happy.

Huang didn't show any displeasure, and cared for Mu Fangrui.In the past year, Lu Haocang has kept her under strict control, including her brothers. Mu Fangrui was born in a famous family, and she is the eldest daughter-in-law when she gets married. She is not too young and can take over the family power at any time. It made her somewhat timid, not daring to mess around.

For more than half a year, quite a few concubines in Lu Haocang's backyard were pregnant. If Mrs. Huang didn't do anything, those concubines and big-hearted girls would also do it, so half of them had miscarriages, and only the youngest was left. The fifth concubine and Huang's promoted two housemates kept the child, and it is now six or seven months old, which made the backyard a little tense, so keep them far away, so as not to cause trouble if they are careless.

The joys and sorrows in the backyard do not enter the hearts of the men in the front yard. Now that it is the end of the year, the governors from all over the country should come to Beijing to meet his majesty as usual, and smoothly give gifts to the Beijing officials to improve their relationship.Emperor Guangxu specially issued a decree to Lu Haocang, ordering him to go to Beijing to report on his duties, and to jointly pursue a great cause.

Lu Haocang served as Governor of Sichuan for eight years, and has not been to Beijing to see His Majesty for six years.At that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi was in power, weighing the pros and cons, she didn't dare to transfer him away rashly, so she could only send the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou to contain him. Who knew that while controlling the power of Yungui, he bribed the important officials of the imperial capital, and quickly got rid of him.The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou changed every two years, and even changed in one year, all of which were run away by him.Empress Dowager Cixi was vicious by nature, and he was afraid of being tricked by this old woman after entering Beijing, so she took care of her illness every year and refused to go to court, and the court had nothing to do with him.

Now that Guangxu is in charge of the government, if he doesn't know how to praise him, it seems that he has given the court a reason to clean him up.The emperor has already promulgated an edict, announcing that he is preparing for a constitution and allowing local autonomy, so the possibility of assassinating him is unlikely.With Mu Mingtao in the capital, if someone framed him and charged him with some serious crime, there would be people who would try to deal with it so that he would not die immediately.

After thinking about it, Lu Haocang decided to go to Beijing, just in time to see the situation in the capital, and having an interview with Mu Botao and some other friends was more convenient and direct than exchanging letters.After making a decision, he said to Lu Zhaolin: "I will go to the capital, and it will take about two months before I can come back. You stay and take care of this stall for me. Zhuge followed me to Beijing, and the others are very familiar with political affairs. I will put you beside you and let them assist you temporarily. If something happens to me in the capital, you will be a deterrent to the imperial court if you have a large army in your hand."

"My son understands, so don't worry, father." Lu Zhaolin nodded solemnly, "Let's bring Bo Ming to Beijing together. He is not an official, but also the uncle's direct younger brother. He is not very dangerous and will be useful."

Lu Haocang smiled, "Okay, I'll take him." He enjoyed his son's care and maintenance very much.Since having this eldest son, he has truly experienced the joy of a family relationship between father and son.

He temporarily shelved the government and military affairs that could be handled at the end of the year, and then handed over all of his subordinates to Lu Zhaolin.A while ago, he told Huang Shi to take good care of his pregnant daughter-in-law and young children. He didn't mention anything to his concubine, and only ordered two smart and steady maids to accompany him.

The convoy transporting the New Year's gifts set off first, and then he headed for the capital under the escort of a company of new troops organized by Lu Zhaolin.

Not long after they left, the first snow fell in Rongcheng.

Lu Zhaolin got up at six o'clock in the morning, whispered to the servant girl not to wake the sleeping Mu Fangrui, then washed and changed, and went to the training ground to exercise.

As long as he is at home, he will rise at dawn, rain or shine.Not only to exercise by myself, but also to pick up all the boys who have reached the age of ten in every room in the house to practice.Those children are used to being pampered, acting like a baby, and refusing to get up early, and their mothers also stop them, feeling very distressed.But Lu Haocang said that it must be so, and it became a rule.

Lu Zhaolin came to the martial arts training field in the fluttering snow and ran three laps before he saw Lu Zhaojie from the second room, Lu Zhaolun from the third room, and Lu Zhaofan from the fourth room appeared one after another.It wasn't until the three children ran around with Lu Zhaolin twice that Lu Zhaoying from the big house lazily came over.Lu Zhaolin glanced at him, his eyes were calm, but not angry but mighty.Lu Zhaoying shuddered, and hurriedly followed behind him, running slowly.

Lu Zhaolin led them to run ten laps, earnestly finished a set of military boxing, and then waved his hand, "Dismiss."

The four children cheered and went back to their respective yards under the service of the maid.Lu Zhaolin watched them leave before walking back to Ningxin Courtyard where he lived.

Mu Fangrui just woke up, her complexion is pale and pink, her skin is crystal clear and moist, and she looks very good.She didn't wear makeup, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, and the maid Cuihuan was combing her hair.Seeing Lu Zhaolin coming in, she smiled sweetly, "It's snowing outside, my master is dressed so lightly, be careful not to catch cold."

"It's okay, it gets hot after running." Lu Zhaolin said gently, and entered the remodeled bathroom.

Mu Fangrui felt very happy.She was pregnant and couldn't serve her husband, but she refused to take the initiative to bring up the matter of taking concubines and accepting the house.Mrs. Huang mentioned something when she greeted Mrs. Lu, but Lu Zhaolin immediately rejected it.Now everyone envies her good fortune, which makes her very happy, and she can't help but laugh when she thinks about it.

Lu Zhaolin took a shower with hot water, changed into a navy blue brocade jacket, came out and said softly: "It's snowing today, the ground is very slippery, don't go out. I'll go and greet my grandparents, and you can use it in your room." Let's have breakfast, don't wait for me."

Lu Haocang is not here, he must fulfill his responsibilities as the eldest grandson, Mu Fangrui naturally understood, so she nodded with a smile, "Okay. You also pay my respects to the grandparents on my behalf. I will go to accompany them when the weather is better."

"Well." Lu Zhaolin comforted her, "Don't worry, being filial is not the point. Take care of yourself and give them a big fat great-grandson, that's great filial piety."

Mu Fangrui suddenly became depressed, "If my daughter..."

Lu Zhaolin hurriedly comforted him, "Whether it's a son or a daughter, he is our first child, and I like them both. Whether it's a daughter, it's good to bloom first and then bear fruit. It's just a hard work for you." Speaking of the last sentence, he brought some Ridiculous tone.

Mu Fangrui heard what he meant, and was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head, "My lord will bully me."

Lu Zhaolin chuckled, raised his hand to caress her face, and then turned to go out.

Mu Fangrui watched his figure disappear in bewilderment, touched his hot face, and said cheerfully, "Let's set the meal."

Her other eldest maid, Yuhuan, said with a lively smile, "Eldest Young Master's heart is all on Grandma, I'm afraid that Grandma will be unhappy."

Mu Fangrui's nanny, Mama Zhang, served her and sat down at the dining table while persuading her: "Young Master is right, as long as Grandma can give birth, she will have a son sooner or later. Grandma became pregnant not long after passing through the house, so it is easy to have a baby." Yes, just have another child in the future. If this child is a young lady, the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the first branch, it will be very precious. Grandma, don't worry, thinking too much is not good for the child."

Mu Fangrui nodded, "Well, I won't think about it in the future."

Lu Zhaolin entered the Qingxin Courtyard of the second elder of the Lu family, and the main room was already full of people.Mrs. Huang, the third and fourth sisters-in-law and their children all came to pay their respects.Because it was snowing today, Mrs. Lu was sympathetic to her grandchildren, and specially ordered people to go to each room to inform that children under ten years old do not need to come here, so as not to catch a cold.

The four children who followed Lu Zhaolin's morning exercises have all arrived, and there are also five daughters who were born on the same day. , the clothes are gorgeous, the jewelry is beautiful, and the appearance is outstanding, each has its own merits.

Lu Zhaolin stepped forward to salute, and his grandfather, grandmother, mother, and aunt paid their respects one by one.The younger brothers and sisters then saluted him, and then sat down, continuing to chat and laugh with Mrs. Lu.

Whether it's for filial piety or for Mrs. Lu's rich private house, these children and grandchildren greet each other every day, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter come to join in the fun every day, and Mrs. Lu appreciates it in her heart.She was always kind, and after talking for a while, she told her children and grandchildren to go back to have breakfast, leaving only the three daughters-in-law and Lu Zhaolin.

"The five girls in our family are all grown up, and the marriage is about to start." She said softly, "You mothers, pay more attention to it, and let Zhaolin go and inquire about which family's children you like. Be sure to find a good one, and don't wrong our daughter."

The wives quickly agreed.Lu Zhaolin said with a smile: "The current situation is complicated. Although some families have good children, the elders are really not very good. Therefore, we must be cautious in marriage. Father is also considering the marriage of the younger sisters in his busy schedule, and sent someone to check. They made a list, and I will send someone to send it to my mother and aunts later, and I will choose from the list first, if I really can’t pick it out, I will meet again when my father comes back.”

The three wives even claimed to be good.They are not ordinary backyard women, so they naturally understand that no matter how good or bad the family is, whether the children are virtuous or not, the families Lu Haocang likes are at least his own people, and they will never treat their daughters harshly.Lu Haocang gave them a range, let them choose, even if they don't like it, they will not force their daughters to marry, it is already kind and kind, they naturally accept it.
