The swaying sound of the bed was stopped by a cry, followed by another child crying like a chain reaction.
Chu Nan got up a little depressed and glanced at his wife, whose face was flushed with intoxication.
"Are you hungry?" Looking at the two little devils, Chu Nan could only get out of bed, carefully pick up the two children and comfort them.
Lu Lingqi pulled the quilt over her chest with one hand, stretched out a little with the other hand, and the extinguished candlestick lit up, and the dim light began to fill the room. She reached out and took one from Chu Nan's arms, tried it, and the child spat it out after holding it for two times. , it seems that he is not hungry.
Then he opened the diaper, looked at it, and turned to look at Chu Nan: "It's time to change the diaper."
It's late at night, so don't call the servants.
Chu Nan had no choice but to change the baby in person. After a lot of trouble, the two little ancestors finally fell asleep again.
Chu Nan blew out the candle and returned to the warm bed. The faint fragrance of milk filled his nose.
After all this fussing, I lost all interest.
Hugging his wife's fragrant body, Chu Nan sighed and said, "Go to bed early."
"Husband, please don't be angry." Lu Lingqi said softly as her two slender and powerful white legs wrapped around Chu Nan.
"My son, why are you so angry? After all, which family's children are not like this?" Chu Nan rubbed his wife's chest and sighed: "It's just that I thought it wouldn't be too difficult to take care of the children, but who knows... I'm still a little too high-minded. On your own."
It's only been more than a month, and sometimes I can't hold back my irritable emotions, and I still can't express them to them.
This is because the family has three wet nurses and four maids who are responsible for taking care of them. If it were an ordinary family, it would probably be even more tiring.
It has been a month since I returned to Xuchang. In the past month or so, in order to take care of the children, Chu Nan specifically asked the nanny for advice on how to take care of the baby. He went to the Ministry of Industry in person to find Liu Ye, and studied the art of making tools to build a pair of beautiful things for his children. A crib that is comfortable and functional, and enhanced.
I spend almost every day coaxing my children and watching the two little furry babies grow from the size of a palm to the size they are now.
In order to make the milk more suitable for children, whether it was Lu Lingqi or the three wet nurses, Chu Nan and Hua Tuo worked out the daily food.
Lu Lingqi felt that there were very few parents in the world who were as caring as Chu Nan.
Under Chu Nan's 360-degree care, the two little fur babies were raised fat and white, and their cries were louder than those of ordinary children.
Of course, there are also negative effects. It's really uncomfortable to give you such a happy moment like today.
Lu Lingqi, who had already learned some bed skills, put down her reserve in order to appease her husband, and finally provoked Chu Nan's fighting spirit again.
Not long after, the swaying sound of the bed sounded again...
Being a parent for the first time is like falling in love for the first time. You always want to give the best to your children. Chu Nan naturally spends most of his time around his two children, even if he has a wet nurse or a maid. Don't worry, always worried that they won't do well.
This emotion did not gradually fade away until a month later.
Under Zhen Mi's management, the Chu Mansion became somewhat like a wealthy family. The furnishings were more exquisite and there were more servants in the mansion. There were six kitchen workers, eighteen nursing homes, and twenty servants. , and thirty maids of various kinds, Lu Yi's girl has now grown up. Apart from the two ladies, she is the largest female in the family, but her habit of stealing food has not changed.
When there are more people, you have to establish rules. Without rules, there is no place. If you are a little 80 person in the family, it will be chaotic if you are not restrained by rules. But correspondingly, you will lose a bit of the spontaneity and freedom you used to have. You just don't realize it.
, and will also maintain dignity in front of the servants.
In addition to taking care of her children and getting along with Chu Nan, Lu Lingqi spent most of her time cultivating. She wasted a year, especially after the visualization method came out, but she couldn't practice.
.
Naturally, what she was visualizing was the fire phoenix. She was already familiar with this method of visualization, but she was afraid of affecting her children, so she kept suppressing the urge to practice. Now that the shackles were released, her practice was extremely smooth and her energy improved rapidly.
.
Zhen Mi took over the affairs of the housekeeper. All the property coming in and out of the house was clearly accounted for, and the servants and animals in the house were also managed in an orderly manner.
"Yang Xiu?"
Under the warm winter sun, Chen Gong's second assessment and selection has ended. The Ministry of Household Affairs sent a group of officials to send the list to Chu Nan for review. When he saw the first name on the list, Chu Nan was a little stunned.
.
Why is Yang Xiu here?
When he saw this name, the first thing he thought of was not the other party's purpose and stance, but the time when he first met Sima Yi on the bank of the Yellow River.
"Yang Xiu is from a prominent family in the world. Now that Yang Xiu has come to vote, almost the entire world's nobles are involved." Zhen Mi glanced at the list curiously, then looked at Chu Nan in surprise: "Husband, does this mean that the world's nobles want to vote for you?"
.”
"No." Chu Nan shook his head: "They should understand that it is impossible for me to change the system. The dispute between the New Deal and the gentry is a battle for fundamental interests. Things in this world that involve fundamental interests will often continue to the death.
At the end of the day, the nobles will not take refuge in formation."
What Chu Nan was shaken about was the foundation of the gentry. Not only the old gentry had to guard against it, but also the new gentry. This was non-negotiable. There was still a long way to go before the ideas of the New Deal representatives became the consensus in people's hearts.
The emergence of spiritual practice and the fact that more and more people are aware of the benefits of luck will alleviate this contradiction and even eliminate it in the future, but it should not be now, because the effects are only beginning to appear now, and the nobles should not give up their original beliefs so quickly.
Benefit.
"My husband is saying that this Yang Xiu is like the people in the government office. He doesn't really like each other, but wants to sabotage him secretly?" Zhen Mi asked curiously.
"With the momentum of the Yang family and the power behind it, there is no need for this." Chu Nan shook his head. The Yang family's status among the noble families was even higher than that of the Yuan family. The Yuan family was only the fourth generation and the third Duke, but the Yang family was a minister for many generations.
From the time of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to the present, the Yang family has always been seen in the court. This family can be said to be of the same age as the country. Such a family has great power behind it.
Chu Nan even once suspected that there should be someone like an immortal behind the Yang family.
With the momentum of the Yang family, if you want to do something, you shouldn't push the legitimate son to your side. Even if you want to be an undercover, it is too dazzling. Who has ever seen the prince sent to the enemy as an undercover?
Pushing Yang Xiu out to participate in the assessment was equivalent to recognizing Chu Nan's new policy to a certain extent, which left Chu Nan a little confused.
Is this Yang Xiu’s own intention? Or is it the calculation of that old man Yang Biao?
Chu Nan felt that he should gradually cultivate his skills, and at the same time, he also wanted to see what the advantages of this useless piece of meat were.
Now, order someone to deliver a message to Yang Xiu and see him tomorrow.
…
"Father, then Chu Nan wants to see the child." In Yang Mansion, looking at the invitation sent by Chu Nan, Yang Xiu found Yang Biao.
"You bastard, how can you call him by his first name?" Yang Biao paused his cane and said, "I want to call you my lord!"
"Father, what happened? We are nobles!" Yang Xiu was puzzled. Their identities were naturally opposed to Chu Nan's. He had thought of countless ways to fight against Chu Nan, but now he wanted to serve Chu Nan as his master. This lord
I really can't scream.
At first, he thought his father was trying to drive a wedge between Chu Nan and Lu Bu and divide their forces. Now it seems that his father is determined to surrender to the enemy.
"Some things may have been honors in the past, but now they are burdens. As the legitimate son of the Yang family, my son should have the courage to give up. Besides, back then, the great ancestor of the Yang family was just a young general. Because he took advantage of the opportunity to kill Xiang Yu,
I have only had these four hundred years of luck. Now that this luck has been used up, what we should do is not live in the glory of the past, but find a way out for the family's future." Yang Biao hit Yang Xiu's head with his crutch:
"My son has been smart since he was a child. You should understand these principles. The status of a nobleman is just a tool. Use it when it is useful. When it is no longer useful, you should throw it away in time!"
"Give up..." Yang Xiu was so shocked by these words that he couldn't speak. He looked at his father and said, "Give up!?"
How can you give up the hope of the nobles in the world?
"Father, the general situation of the world has not yet been decided. Now that the battle between Yuan and Lu is coming, why should we give up?" Yang Xiu felt as if his father had thrown him to the ground and kicked him to death.
"The old sword has decayed. It should be discarded when it is time to discard it. Yuan Shao will not be Chu Nan's opponent." Yang Biao sighed and said: "Now that Chu Nan has achieved great success, it is only a matter of time before Yuan Shao is defeated."
Yang Xiu was a little dissatisfied. He had studied the strength comparison between the two families and found that Yuan Shao had a high chance of winning. He wanted to argue.
"Just look at Chu Nan's final victory." Yang Biao looked at his son and said solemnly: "If Chu Nan wins in the end, what will you do now?"
"If Chu Nan wins in the end, the New Deal will definitely spread throughout the world. This is indeed the time to surrender to Chu Nan... Uh, father, why not Lu Bu?" Yang Xiu suddenly realized that his father had always been talking about Chu Nan.
It's not Lu Bu, but it should be Lu Bu who calls the shots in the court now.
"Why do you tell me, who do you think is the person who really influences and is in charge of the court now?" Yang Biao glared at him and said, "Lu Bu is now determined to give up his throne, can't my son really not see it?"
"The power of the world, give it up as you say!" Yang Xiu didn't quite understand the thinking of these people. Is Lu Bu a fool?
"Don't ask me, how do I know? But Lu Bu does have the intention to give up the throne, and now he is just focusing on cultivation." Yang Biao sighed and said, if Lu Bu has ambitions for power, then it is easy to say that with the growth of Chu Nan's power, this
There must be a battle between the father-in-law and his son-in-law, but now Lu Bu seems to have no intention of taking power, and even feels eager to delegate power. This goes against human nature!
Who is willing to really delegate power until the moment when the person in power takes his last breath? But it happened. How did such a person get to where he is today?
"So, father has determined that Chu Nan will win in the end? But what if he loses?" Yang Xiu said unconvinced.
"So what if we lose? It's you who surrendered to Chu Nan, not his father. Even if Yuan Shao wins the Central Plains, he doesn't dare to do anything to my Yang family!" Yang Biao snorted coldly.
Yang Xiu: "..."
Yes, with the reputation of the Yang family, even if Yang Xiu votes for Chu Nan, as long as Yang Biao does not move, people in the world will only regard him as Yang Xiu as young and vigorous, and will not implicate the entire Yang family. If he votes for Chu Nan, if he wins
, the Yang family can ride on Chu Nan's new car. If they lose, Yang Biao's status will still be on the old car. Regardless of victory or defeat, the Yang family will be safe and sound.
From this point of view, investing in Chunan is indeed the best choice!
Of course, if Chu Nan wins, the prestige accumulated by the Yang family over the years will disappear, and the Yang family will also suffer a lot.
Wanting to understand the key, Yang Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "The father is wise, the child understands."
"No, you don't understand. Chu Nan will not lose!" Yang Biao shook his head and sighed. Such a thick dragon energy has already overwhelmed the big man and cannot be easily shaken!
But it’s okay for my son to understand this way, so let him go!
