Liangzhou City

The Beiliang Marquis' Mansion built on Lingyue Mountain is no longer what it used to be. The huge wall surrounds an entire mountain. This Marquis' Mansion has become a symbol of the entire Beiliang.

In the beginning, due to the rumors of being haunted, no one dared to settle in the area. Lingyue Mountain was surrounded by barren grasslands and no human habitation.

But as the Beiliang Hou Mansion established its foothold in Lingyue Mountain, many residential and commercial shops gradually appeared around it, and the crowds flowed in like waves, bustling with people, and it was very lively.

The people all said: Where did the ghost come from? No matter how evil the ghost is, he would not dare to go out when he encounters the Marquis of Beiliang!

At the foot of Lingyue Mountain, there are rows of barracks and stables. This was originally the place where the soldiers of the Marquis of Beiliang were stationed. But now that the Beiliang army is out on an expedition, most of these barracks are empty, and there are only one or two hundred guards left in Lingyue Mountain.

Number person.

The originally uneven mountain road has also been tamped into steps of blue stone bricks. There are many buildings along the mountainside, maybe living rooms or study rooms. In short, they are well-proportioned and have a unique flavor.

On the top of the mountain is the meeting hall of the Beiliang Marquis Mansion, where Chenyue would usually discuss government affairs on the Beiliang Road with the civil and military officials of Beiliang.

The last time this meeting hall was used was before sending troops to attack Liao Dynasty. Chen Yue said here passionately and frustrated:

"If they don't fight, let's fight! The entire army marches to Gourd City!"

Ever since Chen Yue left, Beiliang Hou Mansion has been relatively quiet, but today Lingyue Mountain seems particularly noisy.

There were shouts coming from a house halfway up the mountain:

"Madam, please use a little more force! It will come out soon!"

"Someone, change the water! Go change the water quickly!"

"Want warm water! Clean water!"

…

There were maids coming out of the house carrying basins of water, and maids coming in carrying new basins of water, and they were all busy.

Yes, today is the day when the Marquis of Beiliang, Ma Ling'er, gave birth.

Ma Ling'er, who was lying on the bed, was sweating profusely and letting out low roars from time to time.

The several midwives in the room are all the most experienced in Liangzhou City, and they are all paying full attention now.

Because Ma Linger had a difficult delivery!

"Madam, don't be afraid, breathe, take a deep breath!"

"Come and learn from me, breathe in! Breathe!"

A midwife continued to guide Ma Ling'er, her chest rising and falling. Ma Ling'er tightly held the hand of Chen Yue's mother, Wang Xian, and gasped for air.

"Chenyue! I will definitely deal with you when you come back!"

"Ah~"

While Ma Ling'er took a deep breath, she didn't forget to curse the Marquis of Beiliang.

"My child, it's okay, it's okay." Chenyue's mother was someone who had experienced it once. She kept comforting Ma Ling'er, but in fact, she was also a little panicked.

She had watched Ma Ling'er grow up, and even if she was not her daughter-in-law, let alone her daughter-in-law, she would treat her as a daughter.

Now that this situation has occurred during childbirth, how can we not be anxious?

At the door of the delivery room, Chu Yucheng's wife Zhou Zihan was also stamping her feet anxiously, but the midwife firmly refused to let her go inside to see what was going on, for fear of bringing a shadow to her who was not yet a mother.

This situation made the entire Beiliang Hou Mansion so busy that even the personal guards staying at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but hold their breath.

An older soldier muttered: "Don't say goodbye. The Marquis is fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, so there must be nothing going on at home!"

"thump!"

Before the soldier could finish his words, he was kicked to the ground by a commander.

Chief Biao opened his eyes angrily and said: "Shut your crow mouth, if you don't know how to speak, don't speak! Madam Hou, Ji people have their own destiny, and everything will be fine!"

"Oh, shut up, shut up!" The soldier who spoke earlier quickly covered his mouth, looking embarrassed under the ferocious gazes of the soldiers around him, and reluctantly muttered in his heart: We have good intentions, good intentions

!

…

On a staircase halfway up the mountain, the two male elders of the family, Chen Zhixing and Ma Congzhi, were squatting on the ground holding their heads.

"Lao Ma, what are you talking about?" Chenyue's father asked cautiously.

"You ask me, who am I asking?" Ma Linger's father rolled his eyes.

Although they are said to be in-laws, the two families have always been neighbors, so the two of them are very familiar with each other. Even when they call each other, they don't sound like in-laws.

"Are you going to take a look?" Chen Zhixing winked towards the delivery room.

"I won't go. I just wanted to come, but alas! I was coaxed away before I even got to the door. Go, you are the father of the Marquis of Beiliang, no one dares to stop you." Ma Congzhi said aggrievedly.

.

"If you fart, you don't need anyone else to coax me. Her mother can kick me down the mountain with just one kick! Don't hurt me here!" Chen Zhixing said angrily.

"What should we do, just wait here?"

"Wait, alas, nothing can be done!"

The two old men were crying and anxious. From time to time they raised their heads and looked towards the delivery room.

There was still that encouraging voice in the delivery room.

"Ma'am, try harder!"

"Hurry, hurry!"

"immediately!"

"Ah~"

"Come out, come out!"

…

"Wow wow~"

A baby's cry instantly spread throughout the delivery room.

"Oh my God, I'm so scared!" A midwife leaned against the wall exhausted.

Ma Ling'er was so tired that she could only breathe. She raised her hand weakly: "Let me look at my child."

"Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam, it's a boy!"

Ma Ling'er stretched out her hand tiredly and took the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. She couldn't help crying: "I have a child! My and my brother-in-law's child! Chenyue, you father is in peace."

Come home safe and sound!"

Ma Ling'er called her Brother Yue for the first time. Although Chen Yue often playfully called her Sister Ling'er, Chen Yue has always been her most solid support in her heart.

Chenyue's mother was also crying with joy. She clasped her hands together and kept chanting: "God bless, God bless, I will burn incense tomorrow!"

The two elders on the hillside were still frowning, but they saw Zhou Zihan running over step by step, happily reporting: "Uncle! A baby is born! A boy! Mother and child are safe!"

The two elderly people jumped up with a loud noise and ran as fast as flying towards the delivery room without saying a word.

Zhou Zihan was stunned when he saw it at such a speed. How could he look like an elderly man?

"Hahaha!"

Soon, the family's deafening laughter started, and the roof almost collapsed.

After the two old men looked at each other for a few times, they were kicked out by the midwife, saying that the madam still needed to cultivate herself.

The two of them didn't mind, and took out the red envelopes they had prepared long ago and distributed wedding money one by one along the entire Lingyue Mountain.

"Come on, come on, Xiao Li, take it, take it."

"Come, come, Wang Po, for good luck!"

"Come on, come on~"

…

The news that mother and son were safe flew throughout the Beiliang Hou Mansion as if it had wings.

The soldier who had been kicked by the commander before looked at the red envelope in his hand blankly. He was stunned for a while and then laughed wildly and said:
Chapter completed!
