My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 121 Pregnancy
"I understand, brother-in-law (Lord)."

When the two little guys heard Lu Yi say this, although they agreed verbally, they did not even raise their heads from behind the bamboo slips. Lu Yi had no choice but to follow them.

Finally, all the work was done, and Lu Yi prepared to go find Zhang Wan'er to tell her the boudoir riddle.

This time, because the trade route was not safe, Gao Shun did not bring Qiqige back to the interior. Lu Yike had been preparing a whole month's worth of secrets to talk to Zhang Wan'er all night long.

But when Lu Yi came to Zhang Wan'er, he was suddenly silenced by God.

Because, Zhang Wan'er blushed and whispered to Lu Yi with a look of joy.

"My dear, I have been vomiting for no apparent reason recently. I asked the midwife and she said I might be pregnant!"

"Pregnant?" Lu Yi was stunned at first, then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly hugged Zhang Wan'er.

"Husband, be careful of the baby in my belly!" Zhang Wan'er said coquettishly and gently hit Lu Yi's chest.

"I'm sorry, I was too excited..." Upon hearing this, Lu Yi quickly let go of Zhang Wan'er, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

Months of hard work finally paid off, making Lu Yi, who was becoming a father for the first time in his two lives, a little nervous.

Although he didn't know whether the child in Zhang Wan'er's belly was his or the original owner's.

However, it is one's own will that controls the sowing, which should be different from those forgiving old men in the previous life.

At least they are half flesh and blood.

But no matter what, Lu Yi having bloodline means he has inheritance.

The foundation of power was suddenly consolidated.

Even if he unfortunately falls on the way to the throne, there will be people who will inherit his legacy and will and lead the forces he has established to move towards his goals.

"I haven't told anyone else about this news. I wanted to be the first to tell my husband so that he would be surprised. But now it seems that the surprise is a little too much!"

Zhang Wan'er saw that her husband, who always looked wise and confident in the past, felt very embarrassed after hearing the news of her pregnancy, and could not help but cover her mouth and smile slightly.

"Wan'er, you are pregnant with the next generation of my Lu family. You have made a great contribution to my Lu family and to Lu Yi!" Lu Yi was not annoyed at all. Instead, he kept laughing happily.

"I just don't know if a baby boy can be born." Zhang Wan'er said with some concern.

The degree of preference for boys over girls in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not as serious as in later dynasties, especially in the Qing Dynasty. However, the power of the Lü clan was growing stronger and stronger, and there were always hidden dangers in not having a male heir to support the family.

Moreover, a mother is honored by her son. Zhang Wan'er is Lu Yi's legal wife, and her first child must be Lu Yi's legitimate son.

If she gave birth to a son, he would be the eldest son, and his inheritance rights would be as solid as a rock. Her position would also be consolidated, and she would no longer have to worry about Lu Yi's possible plots against other women in the future.

"I love it whether it's a boy or a girl!" However, because of the values ​​​​in his previous life, Lu Yi didn't mind it.

He gave birth to a child in order to love and protect this child. He was not like some parents in his previous life who, although they were obviously mediocre and humble, still stubbornly and even paranoidly wanted their sons to become successful and their daughters to become outstanding. They pushed their children all day long, placed all their hopes in life on their children, and were content with being ordinary themselves.

Even if the first child is not a boy, Lu Yi can just try harder.

According to statistics, if you give birth to ten children, half of them will be boys, right?

Not only that, the excited Lu Yi still found it difficult to suppress his emotions, and the two of them hurriedly ran out, causing Zhang Wan'er behind them to smile happily when she saw this.

"I want to tell everyone this good news! And make everyone happy!"

Lu Yi is now the backbone of the Lu and Zhang families. He now has a successor, which is good news for both the Lu and Zhang families.

On that day, this news made everyone in the Zhang family celebrate.

Lu Yi is not only their God of Wealth, but also Zhang's son-in-law, making him half a family member.

They were naturally very happy to hear that Zhang Wan'er was pregnant.

The more than 200 guys and Hou Cheng all looked surprised.

Only Hao Meng turned pale after hearing the news. He used the excuse of being too tired and quietly returned to the room prepared for him to rest.

Lu Yi originally planned to bring all 200 men back to Jiuyuan for rest and training.

Now that this sudden change has occurred, Lu Yi immediately ordered one hundred of his men to cancel their leave and stay at Zhang's Fort in Mayi.

These guys took this matter more seriously than Lu Yi, and no one of them had any complaints about it.

Moreover, Lu Yi specially paid them double the monthly salary for this purpose, so they had even less complaints.

However, the guys can stay here to protect Zhang.

However, Lu Yi, who was burdened with heavy responsibilities, could not rest there.

Whether it is the training of newly recruited guys, the resettlement of disabled personnel in Group A, or the re-recruitment of more than 30 people to make up for the losses this time, Lu Yi needs to preside over it personally.

After reluctantly bidding farewell to Zhang Wan'er and her unborn baby, Lu Yi returned to Jiuyuan Pavilion with the remaining guards and injured servants.

Although dozens of guards may not seem like a lot, they can come in handy at critical moments.

The ending of Sun Ce, the Little Overlord, was still vivid in Lu Yi's mind and left a deep impression on him.

Sun Ce should have a higher martial arts value than Lu Yi, but he was still successfully ambushed by the assassin and was seriously injured.

Lu Yi can't be extravagant anymore.

Therefore, no matter where Lu Yi goes now, he will bring a few guards with him.

After all the 800 men have been trained, Lu Yi will divide them into four groups. The four groups will take turns doing business for one month, and then take a one-month break. Two hundred men will be stationed at Jiuyuan Pavilion, and the remaining two hundred men will guard Lu Yi personally.

In this way, not only can all the guys get a month's vacation after each season, but the safety of all parties, including Lu Yi's own safety, can also be well guaranteed.

When winter comes and trade is no longer possible, Lu Yi will recall all his men to defend Luwu. With one or two thousand young and strong men under his command, even if 30,000 Xianbei people come, it will be difficult for them to conquer Luwu in the short term.

In early July, when Lu Yi returned to Jiuyuan Pavilion, he immediately took good care of the wounded and sacrificed men.

Lu Yi personally visited the wounded and the victims of Jiuyuan Pavilion with the compensation money he was awarded, and left a promise that he would take good care of the wounded and the families of the victims.

As for the others who were a little further away, Lu Yi also arranged for his other men to form groups of ten to escort the bodies of the victims and the compensation back to their homes.

Lu Yi had already established a rule in the caravan that unless all members of the caravan were killed, even if there was only one person left, the bodies of other companions must not be abandoned.

Because casualties in war are always inevitable, but people can die, but their bodies must be returned to their roots. This is a long-standing tradition of the Han people.
