The next month was the winter month, and Lingjun gave birth to a boy successfully. Qin Liang thought that the nicknames of Ayu and Achao were related to the month of birth, so he borrowed this meaning and gave the child a nickname of A.
son.
Relatives in Luoyang got the news and started bringing gifts one after another that afternoon. They came to express their congratulations. Most of the gifts were nourishing ingredients. My sister-in-law, Zhang, had been staying at the house for a few days and had found a nanny in advance. She is a well-informed Pingyuan County person.
, her husband is a guest of the Qin family village.
However, the happiest person among the relatives was his father-in-law Wang Gongyuan.
Qin Liang accompanied his father-in-law to the outer room of the bedroom, and Lu Ning took out the infant child. Gongyuan reached out and gently opened the cloth, facing the door and window, and looked at Azi's eyes to identify the gender.
The place. It hasn’t snowed yet this winter, but cloudy days are obviously more common than in summer and autumn, and today is no exception. The light is not very good. But when Gongyuan looks at it this way, he can see it clearly.
Gongyuan opened his mouth in the middle of his big beard and laughed "haha". Qin Liang also smiled. The maids, wet nurses and others next to him were a little embarrassed, but Gongyuan obviously didn't care.
Azi kicked his calf twice, but Gongyuan still held him and wouldn't let go. He teased Azi with his fingers and said with a smile on his face: "Young little man."
Gongyuan's demeanor was fairly calm and elegant, but when he was teasing children, his tone and demeanor were no longer normal.
After a while, Azi suddenly started crying. Lu Ning on the side said: "Azi may need to breastfeed."
Gongyuan coaxed him for a while but failed, and the swaddled baby couldn't understand the words at all. At this time, he reluctantly handed the son to the nanny. The young nanny was naturally embarrassed, so he couldn't understand the words in front of the man in the outer room.
When her husband lifted up his clothes, she bent her knees slightly, turned around and walked into the back room.
Gongyuan then said to Qin Liang: "Bo Yu, Gongzhi and the others should be over there on the high platform. I'll go over and meet them."
Qin Liang saw Gong Yuan out of the room, "My uncle will go first. I'll ask someone to prepare some complementary food and I'll be here later."
The two of them walked to the eaves, Gongyuan's face was still filled with joy. It's not surprising that he cares about his grandson; besides, he is a grandfather for the second time. Your Majesty has already given birth to two legitimate sons, the eldest son and the second son.
He is the grandson of the Wang family.
Gongyuan walked slowly for a while and then asked: "Zhongming wants to use troops on the Western Front again?"
Qin Liang said: "I have this plan, and I want to discuss it with my uncle, cousin, and others."
Gongyuan stopped smiling and said, "The terrain of Micang Mountain is steep. Gonglu, Chudao and others feel that the time is not right yet. Zhongming should be cautious."
Qin Liang said: "This time we can avoid fighting on two fronts. It is still an opportunity to try. And with my uncle and uncle stationed in Luoyang, our army has no worries."
Gongyuan nodded, "I will wait for Zhongming's victory in Luoyang."
When Qin Liang heard this, he immediately glanced at Gong Yuan. Because the Wang family had been in mourning, Qin Liang had not had time to discuss the matter with the Wang family and the Linghu family. He only relayed his thoughts through Jia Chong and others. But just now Gong Yuan
That sentence basically showed their attitude. The Wang family at least did not object and launched a massive attack on Shu Han!
The chariot and cavalry general Wang Gongyuan had military power in Luoyang, and the provincial governors and governors also had members of the Wang family. It was still important to get the clear support of the Wang family for the Western Expedition.
Of course, Qin Liang also felt that there were no big problems within Wei at this time.
People with real power are all allies with Qin Liang, such as Queen Mother Guo in the palace, Wang Guang in the chariot general's palace, Ling Huyu in the leading general's palace, and Wang Feixiao and others in the local area; and among several forces,
Obviously they cannot be completely united. Some relationships are like the emperor would rather reuse his relatives than rely on his own brothers.
The position of important matters is often determined in a few words. However, Qin Liang is still prepared to find an opportunity to discuss the situation in detail with several members of the Wang family and Linghuyu.
When Ah Zi is full moon next month, you can invite relatives and friends to a banquet. It is the right time to gather together to discuss before the banquet.
At this moment, I saw two sisters, Zhuge Shu, coming together. Qin Liang felt strange when he saw two women who looked very similar to each other.
After the few people had greeted each other, Gongyuan said, "Zhongming stays, I'll go over first."
So Qin Liang bowed and said goodbye again, preparing to talk to his mother-in-law Zhuge Shu. In any case, Qin Liang could not neglect his mother-in-law in his own home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Gongyuan walked out of the gate, Zhuge Shu just exchanged a few words with Qin Liang and said, "I'll go in to see you and talk to you later." Then she left her sister where she was and walked straight away.
Qin Liang looked back at Zhuge Shu and couldn't help but ask Zhuge: "Did Madam tell me about that incident?"
Just now, they were talking politely to each other, and Zhuge talked about how she came with her father. But at this time, Zhuge immediately put away his politeness and said in a low voice: "We are sisters from the same mother."
What she said made sense, and Qin Liang couldn't say anything. The relationship was indeed a bit complicated, but at that time Qin Liang had just defeated the Sima family with his head raised, and his mentality was so high. When he saw Zhuge, a member of the Sima family, what did he have?
Don’t dare to do it?
Qin Liang nodded lightly without comment.
Zhuge's cheeks turned red, and he whispered: "General, don't worry, my sister won't tell anyone. I am willing to be humiliated for the sake of the Zhuge family, how can my sister blame me?"
Qin Liang didn't change his expression, "So you are being humiliated?"
Zhuge's face turned redder, and he glanced at Qin Liang with a complicated expression, and said in a very low voice: "But at least you kept your word and helped the Zhuge family. Let's not talk about it now!"
So Qin Liang said goodbye to her and continued walking to the gatehouse.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked outside the gatehouse of the west courtyard, he met Princess Jinxiang and a maid from the palace. If he had not met and talked with Mrs. Zhuge earlier, Qin Liang might not have been able to receive Princess Jinxiang in person.
...Princess Jinxiang was quite surprised. She bowed hurriedly and said, "I came here with my brother and sister-in-law. I went to the high platform with my sister-in-law just now and was about to come over to congratulate the general."
Qin Liang returned the courtesy and said: "Thank you for coming in person, Your Highness." Then he said to the maid next to him: "You can go do other things."
The maid bent her knees and said, "Here."
Princess Jinxiang followed Qin Liang into the gatehouse. She looked back around the courtyard and felt that this scene seemed a bit familiar. After a moment, she suddenly remembered and blurted out, "I also came here when Mrs. Wang gave birth to her son Achao."
, I remember that the general was also preparing to go out to conquer the Youzhou rebellion. There are some similarities today."
Qin Liang smiled and said: "Your Highness remembered correctly, but there was still snow in the yard last time."
Princess Jinxiang then asked: "I heard from my eldest brother that Zhongming is going to lead troops to attack Shu. When will he set off?"
Qin Liang slowed down his pace, put away his smile, and said calmly: "It will be tentatively scheduled for mid-March next year." He then added: "Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother came to the court to listen to the government. I reported this matter when I met with her, and the Queen Mother also agreed.
Attack Shu."
Princess Jinxiang heard him specifically mention that the Queen Mother was in charge of the government. Did she want to imply that he had no different intentions?
Originally, Princess Jinxiang asked about this because she wanted to tell him to be careful. Only then did she suddenly realize that as a princess named Cao, she should really mind that a powerful minister like Qin Liang was preparing for a war to destroy the country?
This is the truth, but Princess Jinxiang thought of her treatment at Master Sima; in contrast, when Qin Liang's family had a baby, she could come with her brother to congratulate her, and she was obviously more accepting of Qin Liang's rule! The most important thing is, Even without Qin Liang, can the Cao family still get back their power?
Princess Jinxiang finally said: "The journey is difficult and dangerous, Zhong Ming must be careful."
Sure enough, Qin Liang immediately turned his head, and he looked carefully into Princess Jinxiang's eyes, "I will remember your Highness's words." He paused, and his tone became a little closer, "I usually want to meet with Your Highness, but there are not many appropriate ones. Opportunity."
He no longer talked about the important matter of conquering Shu, but suddenly said something like this. Last time Qin Liang said that his relatives and women were much more important in his heart than national affairs. Could it be that he was telling the truth?
Princess Jinxiang lowered her eyes and said, "We usually have nothing to do, so why do we need to meet?"
Qin Liang's eyes swept over the maids who were saluting on the other side of the patio, and he said in a deep voice: "I just want to see my sister."
Princess Jinxiang said quietly: "I am already a grandmother, what is there to see?"
Qin Liang looked at Princess Jinxiang up and down, as if something tangible was passing by. She couldn't help but put her hands in front of her belly, and pinched her fingers together nervously. She suddenly realized that her words seemed to be deliberately tempting Qin Liang. Average? I suddenly felt a little unbearable.
But it was really a long time since she spoke to Qin Liang. After the busy New Year, Qin Liang would leave Luoyang soon, and it would probably be more than half a year. She didn't want to do this. She was already as calm as water, but then The first time in the courtyard left such a deep impression that Princess Jinxiang would often think of it, which disturbed her mind.
The two of them were silent for a while, and slowly walked to the end of the corridor. At this time, Qin Liang stood on the spot, bowed and said: "My aunt, my sister-in-law, and others are all in your room. I came out for a while. gone back."
Princess Jinxiang held the ceremony and said: "Zhongming will go and receive other relatives."
Qin Liang muttered: "Next month, I will host a banquet for relatives and friends in my house. Your Highness will definitely appreciate it."
Princess Jinxiang nodded in response.
Qin Liang said calmly: "Your Highness has drunk wine. If you want to rest, you can ask Wu Xin to find a room for His Highness. There is a pepper room in the back room of the west hall at the front hall, and almost no one will disturb you. It is best. Wait until the drums at Jianchun Gate sound."
Princess Jinxiang stared at the tile floor in the corridor, her face was hot, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment. She thought for a while and then said: "Thank you, General, for the kind invitation."
The two then said goodbye, and Qin Liang turned back to the gatehouse. Princess Jinxiang continued to walk forward, and couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Qin Liang's back, only to find that a few snowflakes were suddenly floating in the air.
At this time, Qin Liang also turned around and pointed at the sky from a distance. Princess Jinxiang understood and couldn't help but smile.
