Chapter 1047 Another Daughter
"Brother...brother..."
Just as Chen Xu finished his experiment and was popularizing the knowledge of atmospheric pressure with a group of people, a few surprise shouts came from outside the crowd. As the crowd around him dispersed, a few fast horses rushed in. The young man in a long gown with a dark face and a surprised face was Han Xin who followed Wang Ben to Lingnan to fight. There was also a dark and thin man next to Han Xin, who was Hu Kuan, vice president of the School of Technology. Behind the two, there was a group of craftsmen and several soldiers wearing armor.
"Hey, my second brother is back!" Chen Xu was also very happy when he saw it. He turned around and said to Chen Ping and Zhang Cang, "I'll trouble Secretary Chen and Dean Zhang here. I will go back to my house if I have something to do today!"
"Don't worry, Master Marquis, I'll arrange the follow-up matters later!" Chen Ping and Hu Kuan quickly bowed together.
Chen Xu brought three wives and a group of guards to meet him. Han Xin, Hu Kuan and others all jumped off the horse. The few of them had not met for at least more than a year, so they were naturally very excited. After greetings, Han Xin also greeted Shui Qingrou and waited for several sisters-in-law to salute him. Then he looked at the towering Cuju venue excitedly and said: "Time is fast, I have only been away for two years. I didn't expect that Cuju Plaza has been completely repaired, and it is so lively. I regret it..."
"Why do you regret it? You are back just the right time. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be divine thunder and fireworks performances and riddle guessing parades in Xianyang and Cuju Square later. The evening is the real lively time. It's good to come back. Hurry up and go to the house to wash and rest. My brother will take you to see the emperor in the evening!"
When Chen Xu spoke, he looked at Han Xin up and down several times and found that Han Xin had changed a lot in the past two years. Although he was smart and agile in the past, he felt a little frivolous and smooth-mouthed. But today, he not only looked much taller, but his skin was also dark, but his speech and momentum changed a lot, and his behavior and speech have gradually gained a lot of momentum.
"Aren't that Vice President Zhang and Secretary Chen? Hey, why are there people from several major colleges here? Marquis, why are everyone gathering so neatly today?" Hu Kuan saw Chen Ping, Zhang Cang and others who were gathering in the two halves of iron balls in the crowd and were busy discussing.
"I am bored. I have just done an atmospheric pressure test. I don't need to explain this matter. You can go to the vice president later. You have to work hard all the way back. You should go back to your house to wash and rest. You can come to my house for dinner in the evening, and then go to enjoy the lanterns and guess riddles together!" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"What the Marquis said is that Kuan has not been home for a whole year and a half. I don't know what his wife and children are at home. Marquis forgive me, Kuan will say goodbye first!" Hu Kuan bowed his hands and said gratefully.
"It's okay, you have made great contributions to the Battle of Lingnan. After the Marquis of Tongwu returned to the court, you will be rewarded with merits. This time, you, a Shaoqing, will not be so busy in the future. Go!" Chen Xu waved his hand, Hu Kuan and a group of craftsmen from the Academy of Sciences bowed and greeted Zhang Cang and others, and then rode a horse out of Cuju Square.
"Second brother, follow me back to the mansion and tell me about the process of conquering Lingnan later!" Chen Xu called the guards and the coachman to prepare the carriage. Although Han Xin was reluctant to leave the towering Cuju Square and the surrounding commercial buildings, he still nodded respectfully and agreed, asking the group of soldiers who escorted him to go home alone, and then followed Chen Xu home honestly.
"Marty, Marquis~~"
Just as Chen Xu's carriage reached the Weihe Bridge, a few fast horses suddenly rushed from the southeast along the river bank like lightning.
"Hao Hou is back home quickly, the fourth lady is going to give birth!" Several fast horses rushed to Chen Xu's carriage and stopped. A marquis's mansion manager jumped off the horse's back and his tongue was a little knotted.
"Really? Hurry, go back to the other courtyard!" Chen Xu was extremely excited when he heard this, and Shui Qingrou Ying Shiman and Meng Wan who were in the same car were also excited.
"By the way, I'll arrange for someone to go to the health center to find Doctor Xu..."
"Remember to ask him to bring more nurses who are familiar with delivery~~"
Chen Xu's carriage rushed across the Weihe Bridge without stopping at all, and then drifted and turned a big turn, following the cement road of the riverside garden that had been repaired for a while, and after walking far away, you could still hear the shouts of Chen Xu drifting in the wind.
"The Marquis is too forgetful. Didn't Dr. Xu have invited him to the other courtyard this morning?" A servant from the Marquis's mansion touched the back of his head and muttered inexplicably.
"I dare to criticize the Marquis. Be careful that a divine thunder will strike you with your shit and urine. Imperial Doctor Xu was ordered by the eldest lady yesterday. Although the eldest lady has never had any offspring, she is a disciple of Liezi. Not only is she highly skilled in martial arts, she is also proficient in medicine. She must have arranged it in advance when she knew that the fourth lady would have to give birth today. Since she had found the Marquis, I will go back soon. Once the fourth lady gave birth, the Marquis' Mansion will probably be lively for a while!" The housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion turned over and looked at the bustling Cuju Square. She squeezed her horse's belly with a little regret, and led a few servants to chase Chen Xu's carriage.
Fan Caiying was pregnant for full term. According to Chen Xu's judgment, she should have given birth during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although he was mentally prepared, the sudden good news still made him feel a little excited and a little out of control. Therefore, he was sitting in the carriage and scratched his head. However, because there were two wives who were also pregnant on the carriage, he ran half a mile before coming back to his senses and told the coachman to slow down. At this time, he was already extremely anxious.
"Husband, don't be anxious. Yesterday I had someone hired Doctor Xu. Now he should have taken care of Sister Caiying in the other courtyard!" Shui Qingrou comforted Chen Xu, who was restless.
"It's good. My wife is more careful. I'm so worried about this experiment these days!" Chen Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, held Shui Qingru's hand, and instantly felt calm.
"Sister Shui once took the pulse for Sister Caiying. Do you know that Sister Caiying will give birth to a boy or a daughter?" Meng Wan asked in a low voice.
There seemed to be a little fireworks deep in Shui Qingrou's eyes. Her beautiful cheeks frowned slightly and quickly returned to her usual quietness with a smile, saying, "I have superficial medical skills, so I can't tell where I can't tell you. Even Doctor Xu's diagnosis has not been successfully distinguished!"
"Wan'er should not be confused about men or daughters. Both men and women will treat each other equally. Therefore, you and Shilan should not be nervous about it. Do not ask a doctor to diagnose and distinguish. The harmony of yin and yang is the ultimate truth in the world. Therefore, it is destined by God to have a boy or a girl. There is no need to care deliberately. A man can pass on his family, and a daughter can also pass on his family. Wan'er, you just saw that your brother is not in his twenties, and he is still doing the dandy thing all day long. He is not doing his job at all. Playing like a prodigal son, and he is not sympathetic at home without any pity. What's the use of such a son? If I were your father, I'll beat him to death!"
"Hehe, husband, don't talk bad things about my brother, be careful I will tell him!" Meng Wan covered her mouth and smiled.
"You go and sue it. He wants to dare to come and cause trouble for me, even if you win, hehe!" Chen Xu grinned dryly.
"I am afraid that Mr. Meng will not dare to come to trouble my husband. However, because of the Cuju League, Mr. Meng and others have also earned a lot of money. I heard that the Censor also has a good temper with Mr. Meng now, but I also heard that my husband once beat Mr. Meng to a bruised face. Is this really the case?" Ying Shiman asked with a smile.
"Haha, of course there is!" Chen Xu instantly remembered the incident of beating Meng Yun in Qinghe Town, and his mood instantly became relieved.
When he thought of Meng Yun's delicate face being beaten into a pig's head and Ma Teng revealed Meng Yun's identity, Chen Xu's heart almost broke. At that time, he was just an unknown wild boy from the mountain village. A small Lidian who is not yet of level, not only offended Ma Teng, but also injured Zhao Zhe and offended Zhao Gao, and then beat Meng Yun. He traveled to the Qin Empire and offended several top figures one after another before he even had his body warmed up. At that time, Chen Xu's mood was so complicated that it was unspeakable. At that time, he listened to Jiang Beiting's advice to compromise and give up the papermaking method, but he felt that he could not stop. Therefore, he threatened to death and forced Meng Yun to write an IOU of 500,000 yuan...
Hiss, why did I be so brave at the beginning?
Looking back now, Chen Xu felt very impressed by his actions.
At that time, Chen Xu basically didn't have much concept. He only knew that a pottery bowl was one pound, a pound of coarse salt, a piece of coarse burlap, and a family of three saved some food to eat for three months. These were things that could be touched by remote areas like Xiaohe Village. And six or seven years ago, when Meng Yi sold the house for 500,000, it was probably impossible to get it all.
Even if Meng Yi suddenly takes out 500,000 yuan, it will hurt for half a year.
The so-called barefoot person is not afraid of wearing shoes. Perhaps it is precisely because of his arrogant, unreasonable and various threats and deceptions at that time. Meng Yun, who was just starting out in the world, is not the opponent of a delivery boy who has accumulated the essence of human civilization for more than 2,000 years. After some coercion and temptation, Meng Yun had to humiliately write down an IOU of 500,000 yuan, and from then on, he had endless psychological shadows in the face of Chen Xu. Even now, when he saw Chen Xu roll up his sleeves, Meng Yun would still not ask for a tremor, which almost formed a conditioned reflex.
The road outside the city had long been paved into a flat cement road, and the carriage ran all the way to Qinghe Villa. Chen Xu told all the things that happened in Qinghe Town and that happened later, only making the three women look dull.
"My husband was born with a strange phenomenon. He was just a village in the village. He was able to cure Mr. Meng like that!" Ying Shiman came to her senses and praised her husband.
"I didn't expect that my brother was so domineering in Xianyang, but he was beaten so hard that his husband was so bruised and his face was swollen and he compromised. As expected, his husband was still powerful. After that, his brother was as obedient as if he had suddenly become a different person!" Meng Wan also praised Chen Xu with a smile on her face.
"Hehe, I don't know he will be so cowardly!" Chen Xu smiled proudly.
While talking and laughing, in less than half an hour, the carriage could already see the towering water tower in Qinghe Villa, but half a mile away, he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the villa, and the sound of family servants cheering.
"Husband, it seems that Sister Caiying has given birth!" Shui Qingrou pushed open the window and looked out and said.
"That's good, that's good, a little faster!"
Chen Xu also opened the car window and kept looking around, urging the driver to speed up. Soon the carriage drove to the gate of the other courtyard and encountered a group of butlers and maids who were looking around and waiting. When he saw Chen Xu returning, he came up happily to salute.
"Congratulations to the Marquis, congratulations to the Marquis, the fourth wife gave birth to a daughter, and the mother and daughter are safe!" A group of maids congratulated excitedly.
