After Zhang Cheng came out of the mansion, he went back to the main hall of the back hall and had a few glasses of wine with He Chongwu and others. Then he left again and went to the rooms in the middle hall and front hall to thank the other guests.
When it was almost midnight, the guests who came to congratulate him gradually dispersed, and some of them who were still unfinished made an appointment to go to another restaurant to continue eating and drinking. Zhang Cheng was already a little drunk.
After he returned to the inner house, he was led by the healthy women to Ji Xuanzhu's room. After a month of self-cultivation, Ji Xuanzhu's body had recovered and his spirit was much better.
In this era, it was popular for wealthy families to hire wet nurses for newborn babies. They were looking for wet nurses who had just given birth to children and used their milk to raise their own children.
If the nanny is really good, really dedicated to the child, and the child likes her very much, then it is possible to stay and take care of the child until adulthood.
Zhang Cheng can now be said to be the richest man in Xuan Town. How could he not hire a few nannies for his son?
Although this may be a bad habit in the eyes of later generations, in Zhang Cheng's opinion, it is good. Finding a healthy and strong mother to feed her son is also very important for the child's growth and development.
Now he has a carefully selected wet nurse in his palace. At first, he chose three wet nurses. A month later, he chose the current one to stay. He also brought his son to live with her in the palace. This made her more willing to feed Zhang Cheng's son.
This nanny's husband is also an officer in the First Division of the Dushi Infantry Battalion under Zhang Cheng, and his loyalty can be guaranteed. She herself has been selected to train in the fitness camp before, but she only temporarily quit the camp after returning home to wait for childbirth. , these are the basis for her victory.
Now her own biological son has been allowed by Zhang Cheng to join the General's Office and be raised by her side. In the future, he will become the young master's playmate and can even accompany him to study and study. This is a big deal for them. Such an honor, how could one not take care of the young master with all his heart and every detail.
When Ji Xuanzhu saw Zhang Cheng arriving, he was about to get up and get out of bed with Xiuyue's support. Zhang Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Why are you up again? Lie down quickly."
As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward, held Ji Xuanzhu's little hand, and looked lovingly into her eyes. Xiuyue stepped aside wisely and said, "Miss, uncle, I'll go take a look at the jade pistil." This girl, why isn’t dinner ready yet?”
"I've been lying in bed for a month, and I feel so suffocated. Please accompany me for a walk in the courtyard."
Zhang Cheng looked at her and said with a smile: "Okay, after you have dinner, I will accompany you for a walk in the back garden."
In this era, basically there are two meals, morning and evening, and the same is true for those wealthy families. However, when you are hungry, you can have midnight snacks at any time.
When Ji Xuanzhu was pregnant, she had already changed to three meals a day. Zhang Cheng also ordered that each meal should be prepared in a different way. Although the ingredients in this era were far less abundant than those in later generations, in the production of highly skilled craftsmen, The chef can still make many exquisite dishes.
At first, Ji Xuanzhu was not used to three meals a day, but Zhang Cheng ordered him to still have three meals a day, but each meal was smaller and more refined. Later, he even added midnight snacks.
Ji Xuanzhu walked to the window and looked at the green leaves and red flowers outside, enjoying the warm sunshine. She leaned in Zhang Cheng's arms and whispered softly: "The Yang family girls are nice people."
"Xuan'er won't be angry!"
Ji Xuanzhu smiled and said, "You are doing this to keep the Zhang family alive and prosperous. How can I blame you?"
Gu Yan
Zhang Cheng smiled slightly sheepishly. After he came to this world, the most surprising thing for him was that he could be a real man for once and enjoy the feeling of having three wives and four concubines, surrounded by beautiful women.
But after all, they were two people. Although he had this idea in his heart, he did not reject the life of three wives and four concubines, and even looked at each other very much, but he did not want to embarrass Ji Xuanzhu because of this.
Fortunately, Ji Xuanzhu, who was well-educated and sensible, did not object to him taking concubines. Zhang Cheng secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had found a jealous wife like Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian. He only heard him say: "This is true.
It was done in a hurry and without your consent in advance."
"Hehehe."
Ji Xuanzhu said with a smile: "What you said is not like that of a general commanding thousands of horses and troops!"
She turned around, looked at Zhang Cheng with her big watery eyes, and said: "As long as you have Xuanzhu in your heart, it doesn't matter how many concubines you have. Xuanzhu will not care about you, even if you have only one concubine.
If you don’t want to marry, but you don’t have Xuanzhu in your heart, what’s the use?”
Zhang Cheng sighed in his heart, hugged Ji Xuanzhu tightly in his arms, and said to her softly and gently: "Xuan'er, don't worry, you are the most important in my heart."
Ji Xuanzhu happily nestled in Zhang Cheng's arms and said: "Besides, the younger sister of the Yang family is also a good person. Not only is she beautiful and heroic, but she also has a straightforward and lovely temperament. I have already been trained as a conductor of the fitness camp.
I leave everything to her, so my husband won’t be angry."
Zhang Cheng said gently: "How could you be angry? It's great that you like her."
He then added: "It would be better for Sister-in-law Jia to be in charge of this healthy women camp. As for Yang Liying, I originally promised him to form another women's army."
Ji Xuanzhu said, "We are all one family. Why divide it into two branches, be it the healthy women's camp or the women's army? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for her to be responsible for them all?"
She continued: "I think the younger sister of the Yang family is very capable of bowing, horse riding, riding and shooting. She does have the demeanor of a female general. She is the most suitable person to lead the strong women."
Ji Xuanzhu saw Zhang Cheng nodding and said nothing, and then continued: "My husband will lead the army to fight again soon, and we must not neglect the two little sisters of the Liu family."
It was only after Ji Xuanzhu mentioned it that he remembered the Liu sisters. After returning to Red Castle, Zhang Cheng was busy with military affairs. When he had some leisure time, he would stay with Ji Xuanzhu in his bamboo house, or go to stay with Yang Liying. Indeed,
He completely forgot about the Liu sisters.
Zhang Cheng said somewhat sarcastically: "I'll stay here tonight with Xuan'er, and I'll go see the sisters Liu Ying and Liu Yan tomorrow."
Ji Xuanzhu looked at Zhang Cheng and said: "Liu Ying and Liu Yan first accompanied the commander-in-chief with Xuanzhu, serving him wholeheartedly in front of and behind him. It is indeed not easy for Xuanzhu to fulfill his duties as a woman."
Zhang Cheng hugged her tighter, feeling extremely tender and warm in his heart.
At dusk, when the lanterns came on, Zhang Cheng accompanied Ji Xuanzhu on a tour in the back garden. They said some ambiguous words of love to each other. He was a man of two generations, and he was a hundred times stronger than those innocent young people. He used gentle words of love to...
Ji Xuanzhu was so elated.
That night, Zhang Cheng slept in Ji Xuanzhu's room, enjoying the gentleness he had not seen for a long time, but he had to try his best to suppress himself, not daring to get angry and try his best to do anything.
