Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 234 Zhang Guifen’s Thoughts, Liao Kingdom’s Heavy Cavalry
After so many years since he came to this world, Wei Yuan had thought about leading his army out to recapture the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, about becoming a highly respected minister, and about making the Wei family the most famous family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, second only to the royal family.

I also fantasize about living a life without shame and boredom with Zhang Guifen after getting married.

But I never thought that one day I would be a father.

At least I haven't thought about it now.

Now that Zhang Guifen is pregnant, the shock to Wei Yuan is so strong that even Wei Yuan, who always looks calm no matter what happens in front of him, sometimes panics.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Hou Mansion.

Everyone looked at Wei Yuan who was stunned on the spot. After a while, Wei Shuyi was the first to laugh out loud and said:

"My little brother was so happy when he heard that he was going to be a father that he was stunned."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan came back to his senses slightly.

At this moment, in his eyes, it seemed that except for Zhang Guifen, there was no one else in the entire main hall.

He stood in front of Zhang Guifen, slowly squatted down, held her delicate hand, and looked at her quietly.

The couple looked at each other, keeping silent.

After a while, Wei Yuan pressed against Zhang Guifen's belly, as if wanting to hear if there was any movement in her stomach.

When Zhang Guifen saw him like this, she seemed like she couldn't bear to bother him, so she just stroked his hair gently.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang stood up and left first.

Wei Shuyi and others followed closely behind, leaving the room to the couple.

After a while, Wei Yuan raised his head, touched Zhang Guifen's face, and said sincerely:

"Sister, since my parents passed away, I have been wandering for half my life and have never known what 'home' is."

"I am lucky to have you as my wife in this life, not only because you have our child, but also because you, you, can help me find a place to go."

Zhang Guifen nodded and said nothing. She just kept looking at Wei Yuan and giggling non-stop.

Afterwards, the two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to blend each other's bodies, just like raindrops falling on water, no longer distinguishing each other.

That night, the entire Hou Mansion was very lively. Wei Yuan was drunk and was carried to the bed.

In a daze, he kept calling the name 'Zhang Guifen'.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Yuan's drunkenness subsided. Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, he thought it was Zhang Guifen who had arrived, so he sat up, and what came into view was Baozhu dressed in makeup.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

Bao Zhu pursed her lips, knelt down in front of Wei Yuan, looked a little shy, lowered her head and said:
"I am the wife's maid. Now that the wife is inconvenient, I naturally have to have my slaves serve you when you go to bed."

Hearing this, how could Wei Yuan not know that this was what Zhang Guifen meant?
"Where's Madame?"

he asked.

Baozhu said: "Madam went to Chunyi Pavilion to rest."

Wei Yuan nodded, stood up slowly, and left the place.

Baozhu still knelt on the ground, looking at Wei Yuan's leaving back, with tears in his eyes, and said eagerly:
"Does the Lord think that this slave is mediocre in appearance and not worthy of the Lord's eyes?"

Wei Yuan shook his head, "That's not the case. It's just that I'm not in the mood tonight. No wonder you. Go to the room where you belong and rest."

Tonight, all he could think about was that Zhang Guifen was pregnant, and he really had no interest in that aspect.

If Xiang Baozhu doesn't make it clear, I'm afraid this girl will feel depressed and will be unable to fully take care of Zhang Guifen in the future.

When he arrived at Chunyi Pavilion, under the guidance of his servants, Wei Yuan came to the room where Zhang Guifen was temporarily staying. He quietly opened the door and saw Zhang Guifen embroidering a purse under a candlelight.

When Zhang Guifen saw him coming, she frowned and said, "Officer? Why are you here?"

"Why don't those servants say something so that I can go and greet you?"

With that said, he had already stood up and poured him a cup of tea.

Wei Yuan said: "I thought you would say whether I dislike that girl Baozhu."

Zhang Guifen was stunned and said: "The beauty of the treasure is quite good, is it true that the official didn't like it?"

Wei Yuan pinched her nose and said, "No matter how beautiful Baozhu is, how can any girl be even remotely good-looking like you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Guifen suddenly became nervous, touched her belly, and said as if she was facing a formidable enemy:

"It would be fine if the Ximai pulse was not diagnosed, but now that I am pregnant, how can I serve the officials? No, no."

Wei Yuan saw how cute she looked and couldn't help laughing and said:
"Could it be that in your mind, your officer is a man who has to be the groom every night?"

Zhang Guifen thought of the countless nights she had been unable to resist since her marriage to Wei Yuan, and immediately blushed from her neck to her cheeks, and said:
"Guanren. Guanren is as strong as an ox. I, I, I'm afraid."

While saying this, he was touching his belly.

Wei Yuan shook his head, came to her, hugged her in his arms, pressed her to his ear, and murmured:

"Compared to officials, I prefer to hear your call."

"Brother Wei"

Zhang Guifen couldn't hold it anymore, her ears turned red, her heart was beating loudly, as if she was back on her wedding night again, she lowered her head and said a little aggrievedly:
"Doctor Keke said that it is not advisable to have sex if you are pregnant."

Wei Yuan smiled, suddenly picked up Zhang Guifen and placed her gently on the bed.

Then, he took off his coat and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his body.

Zhang Guifen's whole body seemed to be burning up and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Not only was her heart beating rapidly, but it was also like there were millions of ants crawling around, "Guanren."

Wei Yuan frowned slightly, "Huh?"

Zhang Guifen buried her head in Wei Yuan's chest and whispered: "Brother Wei is a good brother. I am pregnant."

Wei Yuan nodded slightly, "I know, I will just hold you and do nothing."

Zhang Guifen blurted out: "Seriously?"

"Seriously, I can still lie to you."

"Then I will take off my clothes for Brother Wei."

"Need not."

"I haven't taken off my clothes yet"

"It's okay, don't move."

Wei Yuan's tone was full of no doubt. At this moment, Zhang Guifen didn't even dare to breathe, and her hot breath touched Wei Yuan's chest.

Zhang Guifen lay in his arms for a while and was about to fall asleep when she suddenly felt discomfort in Wei Yuan's place and blushed.

She slipped from Wei Yuan's arms.

A noble girl from a noble family, the darling daughter of heaven, stooped down to do something for her. It can be seen that she loved Wei Yuan and her brother Wei deeply.

In front of outsiders, she is like the scorching sun, making people afraid to look directly at her;

It is also like a mysterious iceberg, which is daunting.

But here in Wei Yuan, she put aside all her stature, including all the reserve and dignity of a woman, and just hoped that her brother Wei could be happy, that's all.

"Um--"

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Yuan murmured, and the whole night was silent, and the couple fell into a deep sleep.
-
The next day. Wei Yuan went to the Dianqian Division early.

Baozhu, who was so ashamed, went to Zhang Guifen specially, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Zhang Guifen dispersed all the maids around her.

Afterwards, Bao Zhu knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Guifen:

"Madam, I beg you, for the sake of my many years with you, let me go out of the house and let me fend for myself!"

Hearing this, Zhang Guifen asked: "But because of what happened last night?"

Baozhu nodded, "This slave is the maid you brought to the room, and it is your duty to serve your master before he goes to bed."

"But firstly, the master doesn't like the slave. Secondly, early this morning, everyone in the house is saying that the slave deliberately seduced the master last night and was rejected by the master."

"Slave. How can I have the nerve to stay in this prince's mansion!"

Zhang Guifen frowned and said, "I will tell you immediately, if anyone from the house dares to chew your tongue, I will expel him from the house!"

"As for the Marquis, please be at ease and I will never be resentful towards you."

Baozhu kowtowed again, "Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam."

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

She has been with Zhang Guifen since she was a child. She is not someone else's slave and has her own arrogance.

Last night, I threw myself into his arms, but in the end, I didn't get the slightest attention from my master.

Even though she was a maid, she had been with Zhang Guifen for a long time, and she had become a bit arrogant. She felt that it was too embarrassing and she couldn't stay any longer.

But after hearing what Zhang Guifen said, she felt a lot better.

Zhang Guifen helped her up and said: "Now that I am pregnant, I will no longer be able to serve the master. The master is still young and will inevitably be in need. When the time comes, do you want the master to find a concubine from outside, or are you willing to help me?"

She sees this kind of thing very clearly.

She is not her mother, and she can hold her father tightly in her hands for the rest of her life.

Zhang Fu, let alone taking concubines, even if he visits a brothel, he is afraid that he will not get anything good when he returns home.

But Wei Yuan is not her father.

She didn't dare to speak loudly when she was standing in front of Wei Yuan. How could she dare to trouble Wei Yuan about a woman?
After thinking about it, letting Baozhu help me is the best way.

Last night, Zhang Guifen asked Baozhu to serve Wei Yuan, and she had made it clear that she wanted Baozhu to temporarily replace her.

The orb has followed him since he was a child and is easy to control.

Even if there are babies in the future, it won't have much impact.

But if Wei Yuan really brought a woman from outside.
Zhang Guifen was worried that she couldn't cope with it, so she had no choice but to make this decision.

Baozhu said: "But last night, my lord"

Zhang Guifen smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it later."

After a pause, she continued: "I heard that when you came to see the master last night, Grandma Zhang gave you the Bizi soup in advance?"

Baozhu nodded, "This slave drinks it willingly. This is also the rule."

"When I came to the Marquis' Mansion with my wife, the old lady also reminded me that if I break the rules, I will die and I will not be forgiven."

Zhang Guifen looked at her seriously and asked, "If it weren't for the old lady and Aunt Zhang, would you also voluntarily drink the Bizi Soup?"

It is indeed an unwritten rule that the maidservant of the first wife should drink Bizi soup.

Bao Zhu didn't think twice and said bluntly: "I can swear that I drank that Bizi soup voluntarily."

Zhang Guifen nodded and believed her for the time being, saying: "Drink less Bizi Decoction, it is not good for your health."

Drinking less does not mean not drinking at all.

After Baozhu retreated, Zhang Guifen called Nanny Zhang over again and said, "Mama did the right thing by letting Baozhu drink the Bizi soup."

"In the future, if the blessing of the jewel arrives and she has the opportunity to serve the Lord, you can tell her that if she drinks the Bizizitang voluntarily, then drink it. If she does not voluntarily, let her go."

Grandma Zhang was surprised and said: "If Miss Baozhu doesn't want to, once she has a unicorn seed..."

Wei Yuan was a marquis, and his court uniform was a unicorn robe. Therefore, heirs of general lords were also called "Qilin sons".

Zhang Guifen said: "I believe she knows what to do. If she doesn't know, I will let her know."

Hearing this, Grandma Zhang was shocked.

Later, a servant came to report that Mrs. Zhao from the tea shop was here, and she would learn tea from her as usual today.
-
People are in high spirits during happy events. When Zi Weiyuan came to the front office of the palace, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear the whole day.

Before leaving the government office, officials from the Imperial City Department sent a report to the border and a pair of armor, which was the iron kite armor unique to Xixia.

The report stated that the Liao State purchased a large number of iron kite armors from Xixia and equipped them with the Tielin Army, the heavy cavalry regiment of the Liao State.

This kind of armor has been improved to a certain extent and can protect against attacks from ordinary weapons and cannot be broken except by blunt weapons.

Wei Yuan looked solemn.

The Tielin Army is one of the best heavy-armored cavalry in the world. In terms of lethality, it is probably a bit more powerful than the personal-guard heavy-cavalry battalion that he created himself.

The only shortcoming may be the armor.

Now they are all equipped with iron kite armor. How can this make him careless?

"The iron kite armor is a secret that is not passed down in Xixia. How could it be given to the Liao Kingdom so easily?"

"What kind of communication between the two countries has your Imperial City Secretary discovered?"

Wei Yuan asked the imperial city officials who came.

However, the response was unsatisfactory.

The Imperial City Division paid the price of more than ten people and went deep into the enemy's country, but they still didn't know what benefits the Liao Kingdom had promised Xixia.

"Does Your Majesty know about this?"

Wei Yuan asked again.

The imperial guard clasped his fists and said, "Return to the Commander-in-Chief, the officials have been informed."

Wei Yuan nodded, and then entered the palace to meet the saint.

When he arrived at the emperor's palace, he saw that Zhao Zhen looked much better than before, so he quickly said:
"I think Guan Jia needs to rest for a while and he should be able to recover."

Zhao Zhen, who was lying on the bed, smiled and said, "When did Wei Qing learn medical skills?"

Wei Yuan said: "I see that you look much better, Guan Jia."

Zhao Zhen said: "Let's not talk about it for now. Are you here to see me about the Liao Kingdom's heavy cavalry armor?"

Wei Yuan nodded, "Once all the Tielin Army is equipped with this kind of armor, it will be even more powerful. If they fight on the plains, I really can't think of anyone who can be their opponent."

Zhao Zhen said seriously: "The Imperial City Division is already keeping an eye on this matter. We will make plans when we have more clues."

"It just so happens that you are here today. I heard that the girl from the Zhang family is pregnant now?"

"I want to congratulate you on becoming a father."
