The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Aunt Liu gave birth all night before giving birth to a child in the early morning of the second day.

Brother Heng had already gone to the palace to study, and Xu Qilang was having breakfast with his father in the guest courtyard.

Mrs. Xu didn't sleep almost all night, Mrs. Ji's knees were weak, so she became a dedicated mistress and stayed in the yard where Aunt Liu lived almost all night.

When the baby was born, the cry was small. After being scrubbed, it looked white and plump, which was very different from ordinary wrinkled children.

Most importantly, it's a boy.

Sixth Yiniang fell asleep after giving birth to a baby, hurting her vitality. Xu held the baby boy with mixed emotions in her heart.

But she still hurriedly asked someone to report to Lord Ji. Lord Ji had already gone to court. When he came out of Danfengmen, he was greeted by the stewards of the family. When Lord Ji saw him, he asked, "How did you find this place? What's up?"

The steward's face was full of joy, "Congratulations, my lord, I'm happy to have a precious son."

Master Ji was stunned, and then his face was filled with ecstasy, "Yes...is it your son?"

The steward nodded, "Yes."

Master Ji didn't even go to the yamen, and went home to see his son.

Maybe in Master Ji's heart, Ji Heng is still not his son. After all, Ji Heng's body is like that, and there is no guarantee that he can inherit the incense. He is the only one in Master Ji's lineage. Even if the first line is extinct, he is a sinner of the Ji family, and he will have no face to see his parents after a hundred years, so he was so happy when he got this son.

Because Mr. Ji, who was always stern and rigid, suddenly showed joy. At that time, many ministers also heard what he and the family steward said. At that time, someone joked behind his back, "Mr. Ji is so happy that he has a son, he almost jumped up for joy."

In addition, someone said, "Lord Ji had only one son before, and he sent him to the palace specially to be liked by the little emperor. I don't know if he can be regarded as a serious son in the future. Now that he has another son, he is naturally happy."

The adult spoke very harshly, but it happened to be what many people were thinking, so it caused a lot of laughter.

Mrs. Ji returned to the mansion and went directly to the east courtyard at the back, where Aunt Liu lived.

His wife, Mrs. Xu, was sleepy and tired after watching the whole night, so she went back to her room to sleep.

The child is being taken care of by the nanny and the maid, while the sixth aunt is still sleeping.

When Mr. Ji arrived at the side yard, he ignored the fact that the man in the delivery room was not allowed to enter and would collide, so he went straight into the room of Aunt Liu and told him to hold the baby for him.

The face of the child who had not been born for a long time was already white and tender. The child's eyes were not opened at all, and it was a small ball. When Master Ji saw it, he quickly unwrapped the swaddling clothes and looked carefully. He was indeed a genuine son. .

Filled with joy, he sat with his son in his arms for a long time, talked to Aunt Liu after she woke up, and told her to take good care of Aunt Six, then went back to the front yard and ordered his steward, He took silver taels and some valuable gifts from his private treasury and sent them to Aunt Liu.

He even personally asked about the situation of the child's nanny, as if he was worried that the nanny was not good.

Mrs. Xu was tired and couldn't sleep well all night, and she woke up after lying down for an hour or two. The mother who was in charge of her, Jianxue, came to her and brought Mrs. Ji back to her home, and went to see the child and reward the sixth aunt. things said.

Mrs. Xu sat on the bed for a long time without any expression on her face, and asked someone to wait for her to get up and wash up.

Mr. Ji took a day off from the yamen, so he came to Xu's for lunch, and after drinking tea, he said, "Ming Xiao, Sixth Auntie was not in good health before, and now she is in labor. Hurt her vitality, use more good tonics to replenish her."

Mrs. Xu was very upset, this is for sure, when she gave birth to Brother Heng, what Lord Ji did at that time is still vivid in my mind at this moment, he wanted to throw her son to death, and he didn't care about the effort and effort of her childbirth She didn't hurt her vitality, even she went back to Yangzhou directly without confinement, and he didn't have a word of concern or retention.

She is also his main wife.

Now it's just a little aunt who gave birth to a son for him, and that's what he looks like.

Although resentful and resentful in her heart, Xu's face still showed the demeanor of a housewife, saying, "Don't worry about these masters, I will make arrangements. There is nothing else in the house. There is still money and good medicine. Absolutely there will be no missing Sixth Aunt."

Master Ji nodded and said, "That's good. I think the two maids assigned to Yaolang are a bit clumsy. You are always careful, so choose two better ones to take care of him. Or ask Aunt Liu what she thinks."

Xu held his breath in his throat, and it took him a long time to let himself try to calmly say, "Well, I understand."

Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Xu had an account, and then left from Mrs. Xu, went to the side yard to see his son, and then returned to the front yard to handle business.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Xu was so angry that she smashed the teacup on the tea stool to the ground, scaring the servant girl who was waiting outside into silence.

Uncle Xu came to see his sister in the afternoon, and was sitting in the second room of the main landlord's east wing. Xu couldn't hold back tears in front of his brother, and said with wet eyes, "Look at the virtue of the master, it's just that an aunt gave birth to a son. , He can't even care about anything, he goes to see it several times a day, sends this and that, and thinks that I haven't arranged for his aunt well. When I gave birth to Brother Heng, what did he look like? Give me something, but brother Xiangheng can give me something."

Uncle Xu also felt that Mr. Ji was too much for his sister, but he couldn't say anything. If he wants to do business, he still has to rely on Mr. Ji to protect him.

Uncle Xu had no choice but to comfort her, and said that Brother Heng is good, "Brother Heng has always been smart, and now he is reading in front of the emperor in the palace. When the emperor is in charge, will he support Brother Heng? You will be very capable, Ming Xiao, why do you have to think about such little things about your brother-in-law now."

Mrs. Xu still felt aggrieved, but it was finally better than before, and said in a low voice with blank eyes, "Brother Heng, yes. She is a son born to an aunt, how can she compare to Brother Heng."

When Brother Heng came back to the mansion in the evening, Mrs. Xu had pulled herself together and entertained Uncle Xu for dinner. Brother Heng had already heard from people in the house that Aunt Liu had given birth to a son.

After the meal, he said, "I heard that Liu Yiniang gave birth to a younger brother for me."

Mrs. Xu was a little disapproving, but she tried her best to keep her tone light, "He is a beautiful little boy, but the delivery room is not clean. You can go see Liu Yiniang after she finishes confinement."

Brother Heng nodded, "This son knows."

He could see that Mrs. Xu was trying to put on a happy face. After Uncle Xu and Xu Qilang left, he didn't go to read a book early. He sat beside Mrs. Xu to accompany her, deliberately holding her hand, practicing sword with his own hand. calluses to grind her hands, "Mother, does this make it itchy?"

How could brother Heng usually be so childish, she couldn't help being amused, "itch, itch."

Brother Heng said, "When I first practiced the sword, it hurt when the sword was sharpened on my hands, and slowly calluses formed, and now it doesn't hurt anymore. My son feels that it is because of the pain. If you continue to persevere, these places will eventually become the most durable and strongest places for you. Mother, what do you think?"

Mrs. Xu hugged Brother Heng into her arms, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "You two are pitiful."

Brother Heng sighed, and said, "My son will make you the proudest mother in the future. How about making you a first-class imperial wife?"

Mrs. Xu was amused by him, and said, "Yipin's order, then I'll wait."

Brother Heng smiled, looked up at her again, and said, "Father doesn't love you, but I will."

Mrs. Xu hugged Brother Heng tightly, "With you, mother doesn't care about anything else, nothing else."

Although Brother Heng didn't say anything on the surface, he was still not very happy that Master Ji had transferred all his love to Liu Yiniang and Liu Yiniang's newborn child.

Although he has always acted old-fashioned and not surprised by favor or humiliation, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a little bit of jealousy.

Even if the jealousy is ruled out, Mr. Ji has a healthy son, and he thinks of his physical defects and has no previous concern for him. This is enough for Brother Heng to care.

So in the next few days, Brother Heng was studying in Shouxinzhai, and his expression was slightly sad.

Taking advantage of his spare time, Zhao Zhili asked Brother Heng, "I heard that you got a new brother, and your father is very happy. Why doesn't he see you happy?"

Brother Heng rolled his eyes at him and said, "How do you know I'm not happy?"

Zhao Zhili smiled and stared at him without answering, but there was a lot of meaning in that smile.

The emperor was sitting behind his dragon case. He was writing, but he stopped writing at this moment, and looked at Brother Heng, "Have you got a new brother?"

Brother Heng nodded, "Go back to the emperor, yes."

The emperor said, "Your mother gave birth."

Brother Heng froze for a moment before saying, "It's an aunt."

The emperor let out an "oh" before saying, "I remember you were the only male in your family before?"

Brother Heng, "Yes."

The emperor just smiled, "It's good that the children and grandchildren in the family are prosperous."

Having said that, he looked at Zhao Zhili again, "Cousin, how many brothers are there in your family?"

Zhao Zhili was stunned for a moment before he said, "There are two concubine brothers above, and four concubine brothers below."

Brother Heng couldn't help looking at Zhao Zhili, thinking that he really didn't expect that there were so many brothers in his family. Before that, he only knew the two older brothers in Zhao Zhili's family, but he didn't know how many younger brothers there were.

The emperor didn't say anything after that.

At lunch, the emperor kept brother Heng and Zhao Zhili for dinner, brother Heng didn't have a good appetite and didn't eat anything.

During the afternoon sword practice, he was not in good spirits. During the break, the emperor asked Brother Heng to sit with him on a chair by the court, and asked him, "Brother Heng, I see that you are very unhappy. Brother?"

When the emperor was alone, he often called Brother Heng "Brother Heng" instead of "Ji Qing".

Brother Heng wanted to get up to answer, but the emperor took his hand and asked him to sit down and not get up.

Brother Heng could only smile and said, "Maybe yes, even a humble minister can't tolerate others. Thinking that my father may only look at my younger brother in the future and not look at me, I will feel sad too."

There was a smile in his tone, which made people feel that he was joking to make the emperor happy.

The emperor, who always liked to laugh, didn't laugh this time, but just held his hand and patted it, saying, "You will grow up eventually, Master Ji will not value you in the future, and what about me, I will value you very much .”

His eyes were warm and earnest, which stunned Brother Heng for a moment, and he said after a long time, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The emperor saw the faint blackness in Brother Heng's eyes, moistened with a layer of water vapor, which was really pitiful, and couldn't help but whispered, "Do you blame me for being cold to you these days?"

Brother Heng couldn't help being startled, and quickly said, "How dare I blame the emperor...no...no, it's because I don't think so in my heart, and besides, the emperor has always been very kind to me."

It was the first time the emperor heard Brother Heng's flustered words, he smiled softly in his eyes, and said, "I also have my own difficulties, and I have always valued and liked you very much in my heart."

Brother Heng wanted to stand up to express his gratitude and loyalty, but the emperor stood up at this time, and pressed Brother Heng's shoulders to keep him still. It turned out that Zhao Zhili had already walked over at this time, and the emperor said to Zhao Zhili, " Cousin, how about we fight swords?"

Zhao Zhili was a young man with high spirits, "I'd rather be respectful than obedient, the emperor will show mercy later."

Even so, when he confronted the emperor with swords, he always had the upper hand, and he didn't have any intention of letting the emperor down.
