Chao Yong anxiously paced back and forth in the courtyard. Every scream from Sanniang in the room made Chao Yong worried.
Chao Yong rushed back to Qingzhou to welcome the birth of his first child. After staying in Qingzhou for a few days, Sanniang showed signs of giving birth.
But an hour had passed, and the child's cry was still not heard. Chao Yong felt more and more painful as he listened to Sanniang's cries. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he rushed inside.
Seeing this, the maid guarding the door hurriedly said: "Prince, stay here."
Chao Gai in the yard also shouted: "Yong'er, what do you want to do?"
Chao Yong turned his head and said, "Can those stable ladies do it? I'll go in and see Sanniang."
Chao Gai frowned and said: "Nonsense, what can you do if you go in? Those three stable women are already the best in Qingzhou City, don't be impatient."
"ah"
While talking, Sanniang in the room screamed in pain again.
After Chao Yong heard this, his expression changed again.
Hu Cheng on the side advised: "Prince, don't worry too much. It took my wife more than two hours to give birth to her first child."
Chao Yong looked at Hu Cheng in confusion and said: "There are really two hours?"
Hu Cheng nodded and said, "Just a little more."
Chao Yong¡¯s mother, Mrs. He, also said: ¡°It was more than an hour before my mother gave birth to you, so don¡¯t be anxious.¡±
Chao Yong felt a little relieved when he saw both of them saying this.
Chao Gai saw that Chao Yong was frowning and restless, so he asked Chao Yong something about the army, hoping to distract Chao Yong. However, every time Hu Sanniang shouted in the room, Chao Yong couldn't help but turn his head and look around. Obviously, the effect was not effective. big.
"Wow"
Finally, a loud cry of a baby came from the room. Chao Yong could no longer hold back his temper and rushed inside.
When Hu Cheng saw him, he hurriedly shouted: "Prince, please wait a moment."
Chao Yong stopped and frowned, "Why?"
Hu Cheng saw Chao Yong¡¯s dissatisfied look and hurriedly said: ¡°I¡¯m afraid Po Wen still needs to deal with the Crown Princess¡¯s wounds, so please wait a moment.¡±
This was what Hu Cheng¡¯s wife said to him when he came. She was afraid that Chao Yong would alienate Hu Sanniang after seeing that scene. Hu Cheng was also afraid that his sister would fall out of favor in the future, so he rushed over early in the morning.
Nowadays, the situation in Daliang is excellent. Everyone is convinced that Daliang can dominate the world under the leadership of Chao Yong, and everyone in the Hu family is waiting to become a relative of the emperor.
Chao Yong couldn¡¯t figure out the situation and had no choice but to continue waiting.
After a while, Wen Po in the room opened the door and shouted: "Congratulations to the prince, mother and daughter are safe."
Chao Yong saw the door open, but rushed in without waiting for her to finish speaking.
Hu Sanniang¡¯s sister-in-law was holding the newly wrapped baby. When she saw Chao Yong barging in, she hurriedly handed it over and said cautiously: "Congratulations to the prince, you are a beautiful girl."
When Chao Yong entered the room, the first thing he looked at was Hu Sanniang on the bed. Although Hu Sanniang looked pale, she still looked at the child with concern and felt relieved.
He clumsily picked up the child, walked to Hu Sanniang's bedside, and said, "Sanniang, thank you for your hard work. Look how beautiful our child is."
Hu Sanniang sighed: "Guanren, I'm sorry, it's not a boy."
Seeing how persistent Hu Sanniang was, Chao Yong couldn't help but scratch Hu Sanniang's nose and said with a smile: "Boys and girls are the same. The girl will be my eldest princess Daliang. Look at her mouth, she looks like you. She will definitely be a beauty in the future. "
Hu Sanniang saw that Chao Yong really didn't care, so she struggled to stand up and look at the child. However, as soon as she moved, she felt severe pain in her lower body and couldn't help but groan.
Chao Yong quickly helped Hu Sanniang sit up.
As soon as Hu Sanniang took the child, the child started crying "Wow".
Chao Yong smiled and said: "It seems that my daughter likes me more."
Hu Sanniang saw her daughter crying and quickly shook the child gently.
After a little shaking, the child fell asleep.
Chao Yong saw Hu Sanniang¡¯s loving face, exuding the brilliance of motherhood, and couldn¡¯t help but blurt out: ¡°Sanniang, you are so beautiful.¡±
Hearing Chao Yong¡¯s naked praise, the maids on the side couldn¡¯t help but cover their mouths and laugh.
After hearing this, Hu Sanniang felt ashamed and happy. She reluctantly raised her head and saw Po Wen still standing there helplessly. She hurriedly said: "My lord, everyone is still waiting."
Chao Yong asked curiously: "Is there anything else? I'll look at you, so there's no need to avoid it."
When Hu Sanniang heard what Chao Yong said, she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart.
Hu Cheng¡¯s wife next to him smiled and said, ¡°Everyone is waiting for your reward.¡±
When Chao Yong heard this, he patted his head and said with a smile: "Rewards, all of them will be rewarded heavily, and everyone who is stable will be rewarded."The mother-in-law rewarded her with a hundred guan and the maid ten guan. "
? ? One hundred coins can buy a small house in Qingzhou City.
When everyone heard that Chao Yong had given such a generous reward, they all expressed their thanks.
"Thank you, the prince, for the reward, and wish the little princess a long life."
After Po Wen thanked her loudly, she happily went down to receive the reward.
Hu Sanniang ignored the outsiders, rolled her eyes at Chao Yong and said, "With such a reward from an official, I'm afraid the family's money will not be enough."
Chao Yong also knew some of his family background. His own income came from the rewards he received after winning battles. Fortunately, after he became the prince, all the pay for his soldiers had been paid by Daliang, and he no longer needed the usual subsidies as before. Otherwise, he would have been unable to make ends meet, but because Chao Yong was used to spending a lot of money, the balance in the house was never much.
Chao Yong was a little overjoyed just now, and unknowingly spent a lot of money. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't worry, madam, I just led the army to conquer several cities, and dad will definitely reward me. Okay, Sanniang, please have a good rest, you don¡¯t have to worry about this.¡±
While they were talking, Chao Gai and Hu Cheng came in. When they heard Chao Yong's words, they smiled and said, "Is Yong'er asking for a reward from me?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I'm not poor, dad can't force me to hide some money secretly."
Chao Gai heard this and said with a smile: "Sooner or later the world will be yours, you can do whatever you want with it."
Chao Yong was stunned when he heard what Chao Gai said.
He has always made a distinction between public and private affairs. After conquering the city, he returned everything to the public and never thought of keeping some privately. Subconsciously, he thought that he was different from the imperial court, but he forgot that the most popular thing in this era was the family world.
Although after the founding of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin specially set up an inner treasury, also known as the "Fengzhuang Treasury", to transfer the annual tax balance to the inner treasury, the royal family's daily expenses were also drawn from the inner treasury.
Every emperor before Zhao Ji was very frugal, taking in more but leaving little, but there was a lot of property hidden in the inner treasury. Although the Song Dynasty was weak, tens of millions of dollars were spent on military expenditures every year. The finances often failed to make ends meet, and the court often needed to borrow money from the internal treasury.
However, when Zhao Ji became the emperor, he built palaces and gardens on a large scale. The palaces that the emperors of the Song Dynasty had not built were all made up for by him. The money in the inner treasury was squandered, so Zhao Ji used the money from the national treasury. When the national treasury ran out of money, Zhao Ji's capable minister Cai Jing would "reform" for him, and changed his methods to collect the money of the people all over the world for Zhao Ji to squander. Of course, They, the powerful ministers, can also intercept a lot from it.
When Chao Yong heard what Chao Gai said, he knew that Chao Gai didn't know the difference between the national treasury and the internal treasury. He secretly decided to go back and talk to Chao Yong in private about the disadvantages of misuse of the national treasury money, and asked him to set up an internal treasury to avoid unnecessary trouble. The emperor misused the treasury money and caused chaos in the financial balance.
However, Mrs. He walked up to Hu Sanniang, picked up the child, and said, "What a beautiful girl."
Chao Gai also came forward and looked at his granddaughter.
Hu Sanniang said cautiously: "My daughter-in-law is useless, she can't give birth to a boy."
Chao Yong heard this and said hurriedly: "Didn't I tell you that I like the little princess? Girls are good, and it just so happens that my mother has never raised a girl."
Mrs. He rolled her eyes at Chao Yong and said, "I know I love my wife, but my mother has never had a girl. It would be great to have a girl. I will just give birth to a boy next time."
Hearing this, Hu Sanniang hurriedly said: "Yes, mother, I will definitely try my best to have a boy next time."
Chao Yong couldn¡¯t help but laugh while listening to the conversation between the two.
??Using the scientific explanation of later generations, it seems that the boy or girl in this life mainly depends on him. What's the use of Hu Sanniang's efforts? However, he couldn't tell the two of them clearly, so he could only hide and have fun.
Chao Gai and Mr. He looked at the child, gave Hu Sanniang a few words, and then left.
Chao Yong and Hu Sanniang joked for a while, and then said to Xiao Qing: "I have to go to Jeju. You must take good care of Sanniang. If you make her unhappy, be careful when you come back."
It was Xiaoqing's turn to come over, looking at the baby who had fallen asleep in Chao Yong's arms, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, I promise to raise the young lady to be white and plump."
Hu Sanniang rolled her eyes at Xiaoqing and said, "You treat me like a child, and I'm still so fat."
Chao Yong pinched Hu Sanniang's smooth cheek and said with a smile: "I just like to be white and fat. I want to strive to be white and fat when I come back."
Seeing that her brother and sister-in-law were still watching, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but flushed with shame and said, "My brother and sister-in-law are still here."
Chao Yong then let go of Hu Sanniang, reluctantly put the child next to Sanniang, and said: "The Song Dynasty army has set off from Tokyo, I'm going toI left for Jeju, and I will come back when the Song army is defeated. "
Hu Sanniang looked at Chao Yong reluctantly and said, "Officials, be careful."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Don't worry, madam, no one in this world has hurt me."
Chao Yong gave some more instructions, then clasped his fists at Hu Cheng and said, "The military situation is urgent, so I will leave first. Sanniang will ask my brother to take care of me."
Hearing this, Hu Cheng hurriedly said: "Prince, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of the Crown Princess."
"Cough"
Hu Cheng¡¯s wife saw Chao Yong was about to leave and quickly reminded Hu Cheng.
Hu Cheng, however, shook his head to signal his wife to stay out of trouble.
Chao Yong couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw the couple acting like this: ¡°Brother, is there anything else you can do?¡±
Hu Cheng said hurriedly: "No, Prince, take care."
Chao Yong saw Hu Cheng¡¯s wife blushing at the side, and couldn¡¯t help but smile: ¡°We are all a family, so if you have anything to say, just say it.¡±
Seeing Hu Cheng's submissive look, Hu Cheng's wife couldn't help but said anxiously: "The war is about to begin. It must be the time for the prince to employ people. My officials want to go with the prince on the expedition."
Chao Yong thought for a while, then realized what he was doing, and said with a smile: "When I appointed the commander of thousands, my elder brother could also take up the actual post based on his qualifications. However, at that time, I only had 20,000 soldiers and horses in the main beam. Once my elder brother took charge of the army, he would definitely We are about to go to the battlefield, and we will inevitably be injured. Sanniang is about to give birth. I am afraid that she will be worried, so I will let someone take your place. I am afraid that this battle will be dangerous, so you should not go. In a few days, It¡¯s time for the reservists to be selected again. Then I¡¯ll give you the title of general to suppress bandits. There are still some ignorant grassroots bandits in the territory. You can also make a contribution by leading troops to destroy them.¡±
Hu Cheng also knew that his martial arts skills were ordinary, but his wife was dissatisfied that he was not among the twenty thousand captains, so she kept urging him to ask Chao Yong for an official position. After being talked about a lot, he also had some thoughts in his mind. However, when he saw Hu Sanniang giving birth to a girl, he was afraid that Chao Yong would be unhappy, so he wanted to delay it, but he didn't expect that his wife was impatient.
Hearing that Chao Yong was thinking about her, Hu Sanniang couldn't help looking at Chao Yong with tears in her eyes and shouted: "Guanren." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
