The general's wife is sick

Ji Liu saw Dai Mengyun again on the second day after taking a bath.

Dai Mengyun's job as head bookkeeper is a clerical job, similar to that of a clerk who records daily records, but in the northwest, like Xiong Jinghai, he has the right to leapfrog his rank and report directly to the emperor, so even if he is not on duty for a day, no one will comment.

So, on the second day of the holiday, he skipped work as a matter of course.

Stepping into Ji Liu's room with snacks, I saw that Cheng Cheng was serving Ji Liu to eat dried sour apricots, but Ji Liu was not interested, "I don't want to eat this today."

"Master, do you have no appetite? You said you wanted to eat two days ago."

"I don't have any appetite, you should eat." Ji Liu smacked his lips. Because of the third child in his belly, his taste has changed a lot now. He who was never greedy before is now thinking about it like old lady Ji. eat.

One second I want to eat sour, the next second I want to eat sweet, and the next second I want to eat something spicy.

It's a pity that there is no chili here, and the only few "pungent" seasonings are still herbs and not suitable for pregnant women.

Right now, he is very, very, especially craving spicy food.

He had heard people say "sour sons and hot daughters" before, and he thought that he must have sons and daughters in his womb, as the old saying goes, both sons and daughters, he can definitely come up with the word "good" right now.

"Young Madam, here are freshly baked dim sum, if you don't have any taste in your mouth, you can try one."

Dai Mengyun handed the snacks to the ingredients, and the ingredients poured the tea and took the snack boxes to the kitchen for distribution.

After Cheng left, Dai Mengyun coughed and didn't talk about business, "Where's that little maid beside you, how come you only see Cheng serving you by herself recently?"

"I was asked to leave by my grandmother. I and the girls in the composition are not good at work. Now my grandmother brings all the maids to sew bedding and clothes for my three sons in the womb."

Ji Liu said that he couldn't laugh or cry here, he was worried that the old lady Ji was too tired, and deliberately concealed the news of the third son in his belly, so all the items prepared by the old lady Ji were for one person.

But now, grandma knows that she will make three copies of all the previous things, and now Sister Chun is only in the same room with Zhen'er and the others.Every day, the people who deliver the fabrics can come and go in the mansion many times, and some of them look familiar to him, but they are shopkeepers transferred from Zhucheng by the old lady to open a shop on Yingkou Street.

"My young lady is very lucky."

Ji Liu smiled and didn't answer, he saw Dai Mengyun's posture when he entered the door, and that he didn't get straight to the point when he entered the door, but talked about him from left to right, so he knew in his heart that this person has become a problem, "Is he still okay?"

Dai Mengyun coughed twice again, "Mrs. Xie is perfect."

"You and Brother Bai finally got married, congratulations."

Before Dai Mengyun could blush and speak, Cheng Cheng came in carrying a packaged snack, followed by a burly and powerful man, Xie Kun.

"Master, thank you for coming!"

As soon as Xie Kun entered the door, seeing the two of them, he bowed his head and bowed, "Young Madam, Master Dai!"

"Brother Xie, what's the matter here today?" Ji Liu was a little surprised. Could it be that something happened on the grassland?

Xie Kun opened his voice loudly, and immediately stopped as if thinking of something, "Young Madam...Chen Guan brought back a large number of pregnant mares from the grassland, and the general ordered me to come and report."

"A pregnant mare?!" Fu Jiliu got up from the stool when the group was formed, and Dai Mengyun also stood up, "Brother Dai, let's go and have a look together!"

As early as a few months ago, he and Xiong Jinghai mentioned that it would be the best if someone could bring back a pregnant mare from the grassland. Unexpectedly, Brother Chen really brought it back today.

The four of them walked to the racecourse, which is where military horses are raised.

The northwest is sparsely populated, and the racecourse is surrounded by high fences, with a large area.

As soon as he entered the racecourse, Ji Liu saw Xiong Jinghai standing outside the fence, watching the grooms feed the mares the freshest fodder.

"Liu'er!" He took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Ji Liu's waist, holding his arm. Xiong Jinghai thoughtfully let him lean on him, reducing the burden on Ji Liu's body.

"These mares with cubs are about to give birth, but the herd of horses was scattered by the wolves. They were heavy and did not keep up with their own herd, so they were picked up by Chen Guan." In a simple sentence, the situation of these pregnant mares was explained. source.

Ji Liu's eyes lit up, "Brother Chen is really lucky. With these prairie horses, he won't have to worry about not having a good horse for his chariot in the future. Where is Brother Chen?"

Xiong Jinghai hugged him and walked to the room where the fodder was stored, "He suffered a slight injury, but it's not serious."

"Brother Chen is injured, do you still have the time to watch the horses here?" Ji Liu was in a hurry, although this man was a little messed up and arrogant, when will he not care about the seriousness!

"I don't want to tell you because I'm afraid you are in a hurry." Xiong Jinghai comforted Ji Liu, covering his stomach with one hand, "I have already brought someone to meet him, don't worry, he is only slightly injured, Master has already seen it for him, don't worry .Come with me, I have something for you."

Hearing that Master Sima had seen it for Chen Guan, Ji Liu felt relieved, and was also in the mood to ask about the items Xiong Jinghai had prepared, "What is it?"

Opening the door of the forage room, a breath of green grass came oncoming, and a few immature whimpers came from the haystack.

Ji Liu tilted his ears and raised his eyes to stare at Xiong Jinghai, "You caught the wolf cub?"

He has clear logic and careful thinking. Chen Guan encountered a herd of horses scattered by wolves on the grassland, and he himself was injured. In terms of personality, when encountering wolves, for the comfort of the people in Yingkou, he is very likely to lead a team to find the wolf's lair, and steal the nest.

Now these few soft animal calls, except for wolf cubs, he doesn't think about it.

"Liu'er is wise! There are four in this litter. Two of them died on the way back, and now there are only two left. I saw them fluffy and thought you might like them, so I brought them back for you to play with."

After removing the fodder, there were two wolf cubs lying inside. The eyes of these two wolf cubs were still beautiful deep sea blue, which meant that they had only been born in this world for only one month.

At this moment, the two wolf cubs were cuddling close together, their short legs were able to support their bodies, and when they smelled a strange smell, they howled in protest.

At such a young age, he already has the character of an adult wolf. Although his howling sound is delicate, he learns howl well.

Xiong Jinghai pulled Ji Liu's hand away, crushed a plant of grass, and smeared the juice on his hand, "The smell on your body will make them alert. This is the grass that was pulled outside the hole where they were found. Smell, that shouldn't make them repel you."

Peach Blossom eyes blinked, Ji Liu realized later, "The smell of wolves doesn't mean... they urinate at the entrance of the cave to mark the territory... does that mean?"

Ji Liu's expression was too serious, Xiong Jinghai chuckled softly, lifted his chin, and kissed his lips lightly, "If you think so...it's fine."

Looking at his hand with the green juice of grass leaves, it seemed that he had already smelled the smell of wolf urine.

Xiong Jinghai grabbed two black and gray wolf pups and put them in Ji Liu's hands, "The whole body is covered with fur, do you like it?"

Taking a deep breath, Ji Liu stretched out his hands to catch them, with the "taste" of the family. Although the two little guys were puzzled, they didn't resist anymore.

"It's pretty heavy." Ji Liu cushioned the weight, "Are these two left in this litter?"

"Well, their nests are too close to the entrance of the camp, so it's not safe."

"Then I'll take these two little guys." Ji Liu turned them over and looked at their genders one by one, "It's still two brothers."

Xiong Jinghai covered Ji Liu's stomach with his big hands, and his eyes were gentle, "Take it back to play, teach it from a young age, and when you grow up, you should be able to be a company with our children."

"Did you know that Master Sima said that those who have many children will not be able to conceive at full term."

Xiong Jinghai understood what Ji Liu meant, and he said bluntly, "Yes, Mother said that she found three stable women for you and is already on the way."

"Three stable women?!" Ji Liu was stunned.

Speaking of Wen Po, when Princess Guangyang received Xiong Jinghai's letter, she looked as surprised as Ji Liu, and she immediately prepared a sedan chair and went to the palace to have a secret talk with Emperor Xuande.

This time even Shen Lin was not around, and only the two brothers and sisters were whispering in the huge palace.

Emperor Xuande stood in front of Princess Guangyang, and he stepped down from the high dragon chair. It was as if the brother and sister often played together before ascending the throne, and the distance was close. gone."

"Liu'er is a great hero of the Xiong family. I heard from Ah Hai that there are three sons in this birth. The emperor and the younger sister want to go to the northwest in person! Although Liu'er has the old lady of the Ji family by her side, she is old after all. If you don't take good care of her, my sister won't worry."

"No, Guangyang, Zhengli's body is still recovering. If you leave and lose your support, there will be storms and waves in the capital. I will be at ease with you in the general's mansion!" Emperor Xuande frowned, his deep eyes turned All emotions are restrained and indistinct.

Princess Guangyang knew what he was thinking, so for so many years, she has stayed in the general's mansion safely, even though she endured the separation from her husband and son all the year round.But she has been sacrificing for the royal family all her life, and now her own grandson is about to be born in a few months, but she can't do her best to be a grandmother, and she feels lost and sad.

"Yes, my sister obeys."

The tone was low, and he obeyed, but it was full of reluctance.

Hearing what she said, Emperor Xuande understood what she was thinking, so he comforted him, "I gave you three stable women. They were originally palace Chinese women, but because of their seniority, now they only deliver babies for the princes and daughters of the harem. By sending them to the northwest, it will be considered a peace of mind for you and a little bit of my heart."

"Thank you, brother."

When Princess Guangyang left the palace, Shen Lin personally brought people to prepare a lot of precious medicinal materials from the imperial doctor, and sent them to the General's Mansion together with Princess Guangyang.

Among the medicine delivery team, there were the three Wen women who were originally medical girls. They were dressed in court servant clothes, holding the medicine boxes with their heads down, and entered the general's mansion together with the medicine delivery team.

"It's three steady wives, rewarded by the emperor, you can take care of your baby with peace of mind, and don't worry about other things." Xiong Jinghai took the opportunity to claim credit, "Zhu Changyuan next to you is good at running the military factory, and Dai Mengyun is also very good at managing the winery For the remaining four months, you just need to wait for the birth in peace, and when they are born, those iron beasts will also be completed, and we will finally have a battle with the grassland!"

With a hand that had been smeared with wolf urine, he stroked the little wolf cub's head and back. Ji Liu raised the corner of his mouth, "I hope you will conquer the grassland. Then, take the three of them to ride horses on the grassland, teach them how to shoot arrows, and let the three of them ride horses on the grassland. They have also become "little wolf cubs" on the grassland!"
