King of Song

Chapter 451 Qiu Ning
"Wow!"

The loud cry of the baby echoed in the Hou's mansion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then became very excited.

"Out, out!"

The joy of becoming a father for the first time was beyond words, and Lin Zhao almost jumped up in joy.

Soon, a steady woman came out from inside, bowed and said: "Master Hou, Madam gave birth to a girl!"

daughter!

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, is Ruoying okay?"

Wen Po was very surprised, why is it a girl, Lord Hou is so happy?This era is patriarchal, especially in wealthy families.So when she came to report the news just now, she didn't even dare to use the word "Congratulations", for fear of offending Lord Hou.Did not expect such a result.

Even if it is a daughter, Lord Hou is very happy.The most rare thing is to care about your wife first, which is very rare.Surprised to the point of a little stunned, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Mother and daughter are safe, but after giving birth, Madam is a little tired."

"Can I go in?" Lin Zhao was so excited that he wanted to rush in to see his wife and daughter immediately.

"Please wait, Lord Hou, I will pack it up right away!"

After a while, Mrs. Wen tidied up and welcomed Lin Zhao and others in.There was still a slight smell of blood in the air, and the little guy was crying very loudly.

Walking to the bed, she saw Meng Ruoying lying on the bed almost collapsed, her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Ruoying, are you okay?" Lin Zhao immediately stepped forward to express her condolences.

"Husband, it's okay..." Meng Ruoying was weak, obviously exhausted to the extreme.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Meng Ruoying shook her head lightly, her face was filled with the brilliance and happiness of motherhood, and she asked softly, "Where's the child?"

"Come here!" Chai Minyan walked over with the child in his arms.

Lin Zhao took it first and held it gently in his arms.A newborn child is really too petite and weak, and his body is extraordinarily fragile.Lin Zhao gently held the child in his arms, for fear of hurting her accidentally.

Then he took a closer look at his daughter's little face. Although the newborn baby's skin is not very smooth and delicate, but the outline and eyebrows can be seen clearly, it is a complete beauty.

"My daughter looks like you, she will definitely be a great beauty in the future!" Lin Zhao said to Meng Ruoying with a smile, very happy.

It wasn't until this moment that Meng Ruoying felt relieved.She was afraid that her husband would not like having a daughter, and now it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.

In fact, Meng Ruoying's birth of a daughter is the best result.

In the situation in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, Chai Minyan is the first wife, while Meng Ruoying, the ordinary wife, has a child.If a boy is born, but he is not the eldest son, there will inevitably be some troubles.It would be fine if he was the eldest son of a concubine, but Meng Ruoying was born as an ordinary wife, and the child he gave birth to had the right to inherit and had a relatively high status.

In this way, there will be troubles in the future family inheritance.If it's just some property, it's fine, but Lin Zhao's status is precious now, if he can really reach the Ninth Five in the future, then his eldest son will be involved in the crown prince, and the involvement will be complicated.

So, the best result is that Chai Minyan can give birth to a boy and the eldest son.But such things cannot be forced, Chai Minyan also subconsciously touched his stomach, hoping to get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to a boy.

This is not to say that she is jealous of other wives giving birth to boys, but that it involves issues of patriarchal clan and inheritance, so it has to be like this.Meng Ruoying also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the husband likes it, it doesn't matter if it is a girl, so as to avoid embarrassment among the wives and cause disharmony in the house.

Lin Zhao carefully handed the child into Meng Ruoying's arms, and said with a smile, "Come and see the child!"

Seeing her daughter's pink smiling face, Meng Ruoying was extremely happy.

The same is true for Lin Zhao. Being a father for the first time and taking root in the ground, this feeling is something that others cannot understand.And after having a child, it means a responsibility.From today, he is a father.All the efforts in this era are also for the family and for the children.

The daughter has a noble lineage, and one day in the future, she will be made a real princess.

"By the way, Minyan, the child was born early, will it be healthy..." Lin Zhao was inevitably a little worried, her daughter was born almost a month prematurely.

Chai Minyan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, I've already checked, the child is healthy, so don't worry. It's just that you need to put more effort into taking care of it on weekdays, so that you can be safer!"

"Okay, then I will trouble you, take care of the child!" Lin Zhao is not worried, as long as there is no congenital deficiency.Naturally, there is no problem with the human care at home, and the medical insurance is also sufficient, so there is no need to worry.It's just that the child is still young, so you must be extra careful.

"Husband, the child is born, please give it a name!"

"Yeah, I have to think about it!" Although she is a girl, her name is also very important.

"Master Hou, madam, the rain has stopped and the sun has come out." Someone shouted outside, perhaps because the autumn rain lasted for a long time, and the clearing of the weather itself made people very excited.

Lin Zhao walked outside the door, and saw that the gloomy dark clouds had disappeared, and suddenly the sky was clear with white clouds, and it was a beautiful and refreshing autumn weather.It's a coincidence that all this happened at the moment when my daughter was born. It was a coincidence and God's will.

"Have it!"

Lin Zhao returned to the room and said with a smile, "Let's call the child Qiu Ning!"

"Yes, as soon as this child was born, the continuous rain stopped and the weather cleared up. It's really a good sign!"

"Qiuning, Lin Qiuning, what a good name!"

I'm afraid I will change my name to Zhao Qiuning in the future, Lin Zhao thought in his heart, and said with a smile: "It happens that the weather is fine, so why don't we call him Qing'er again!"

"Okay, Qing'er! My Qing'er has a name!" Meng Ruoying was very satisfied with the name.

Qiu Ning!

Lin Zhao took this name, and he also had a kind of hope in his heart. It is best to be peaceful this autumn, so that he can go to Hebei smoothly.

"Wow!"

Maybe it was to celebrate that she got the name, Qing'er immediately yelled.

"I must be hungry!"

After the nurse heard about it, she immediately stepped forward and wanted to hug her to nurse her, but Meng Ruoying waved her hand lightly. It is best to feed the child's first milk by herself.This is the power of a mother and the happiest thing.

The little guy was really hungry, so he immediately sucked hard, enjoying the first delicious meal in his life contentedly.When everyone saw it, they all showed knowing smiles.

The birth of Qing'er is a great joy in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the whole family is very happy, happy and happy.

Since it is good news, it is natural to share it, and it is a must to announce the good news.

First of all, send someone to rush back to Jiangning immediately to announce the good news to Mrs. Meng, so that the birth of the great-granddaughter will make the old man happy.After the child is older, she will consider asking Meng Ruoying to bring the child back to Jiangning to visit relatives.

Lin Zhao gave a secret order, and Li Cheng hurriedly sent someone to the south of the city.Presumably Mrs. Lin is still in a hurry. The granddaughter is born, so she must be told as soon as possible.

After Lin heard about it, she felt relieved.Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, they are all grandchildren of her own direct relatives, and she loves them equally.Anyway, there are many sons, wives and concubines, and more children will definitely be born in the future. Sooner or later, there will be sons.

It's a pity that her grandmother can't see it with her own eyes, but it's a heartfelt gift to give her apron.

When Lin Zhao took out the apron, all the women were amazed at the needle work.The soft silk, the pattern of auspicious clouds surrounding the rising sun, is very exquisite.Concubine Lin was born as a court lady back then. Although she has not done it for many years, she is still good at knitting and embroidery.As for the pattern, she naturally thought of Rising Sun and Xiangyun.

In fact, this was supposed to be for my son, but it was a pity that it couldn't be used because of the passage of time, and it all passed to my granddaughter.It also poured his feelings for the two generations, which is exactly the case when etiquette is light and affection is heavy.

"Come on, when will you put it on for Qing'er!"

"this is……"

"It was a gift from an elder, and it is also auspicious for children."

"Which elder is it?"

"Ah...it's a gift for the child, just accept it." Lin Zhao couldn't explain it, so he had to muddle along.

Meng Ruoying saw that the pattern was very similar to the pattern on the Xiangyun Rising Sun Jade Pendant, she thought it was her husband's intentions, so she didn't care and accepted it happily.After all, the above pattern is very similar to the object of love between the husband and himself. The daughter is the crystallization of their love, so it is naturally the best.

Chai Minyan, on the other hand, showed some doubts in his eyes.I'm afraid it's not that simple?This elder is afraid that it is a big deal.Thinking of the situation in the palace that day, she always felt that there were many mysteries in her husband.But marry a chicken as a chicken and marry a dog as a dog, the husband has his own reasons.

As for the Qingshou Palace, the message delivery was not so easy.It wasn't until the third day that it was delivered through the Cao family's channel.

"Ma'am, Ruoying gave birth to a girl." Zhao Fukang, who was an aunt, was very happy, but now she is a veritable aunt. Zhao Xu and Zhao Hao are just names and have no feelings for each other.

Mrs. Cao was also overjoyed, and said, "I've given birth, good!"

Whether male or female, they are all grandchildren of Emperor Renzong's direct relatives, so her grandmother is naturally happy.She has spent her whole life trying to bear children, so she has some regrets in her heart, and she has a special love for children.

"That's fine, it's troublesome to be a boy!" Zhao Fukang has his own opinion on this point.

Mrs. Cao fully agreed: "Meng's family background is too low after all, her child's lineage is not considered noble... It would be better if Minyan gave birth to the eldest son. Chai's family was also a royal family back then, so this child is full of emperor's blood. Only those who come from a noble family can be crowned princes and inherit the world. Only Min Yan is qualified to be the mother of the world."

It's not that Cao Shi protects his shortcomings, because he has contact with Chai Minyan, so he especially dotes on him.It is because it does involve issues of patriarchal clan and inheritance, especially the royal family and nobles.

Before the prince inherits the throne, the son is more expensive than the mother, and the mother's birth height directly determines the prince's status.Otherwise, it is precisely this reason why ancient times so emphasized the eldest son inheritance system.The order of respect and inferiority, the status of the first wife is high, and the son born by the first wife is naturally higher than the second son.

The eldest son inheritance system has been established since Zhou Li. The royal family often inherits the throne from the eldest son, and the noble family also inherits the title from the eldest son. Naturally, it makes sense for it to continue.In ancient times, whenever there was a thing that abolished the elders and established the young, it was often the way to subjugate the country and create chaos.

Hu Hai killed Fusu and ascended the throne, and Qin II died.Yuan Shao's love for his third son, Yuan Shang, was also one of the root causes of his failure, especially for his contemporary Liu Biao.Tang Taizong Li Shiming created the rule of Zhenguan, but he couldn't get rid of the stain of Xuanwu Gate in his life.No matter how he whitewashes it, it can't change the fact that Li Jiancheng is the eldest son and should be the legal heir.

In the Ming Dynasty of later generations, the succession to the throne was more clearly stipulated that there is a clear stipulation that if there is a descendant, the son will be established, and if there is no descendant, the elder will be established.The same is true in the Song Dynasty, but the emperors in the Song Dynasty were not very productive, and the survival rate of the princes was not high.Zhenzong was the son of Renzong, and after Renzong, Zhao Zongshi still inherited the Datong as the eldest son.In the Southern Song Dynasty, this situation became more common.

Even so, the identity and lineage of the prince are still valued by people.Logically speaking, Lin Zhao also came from a concubine, and Concubine Lin was originally a court lady with a humble background.But Emperor Renzong only had his son, so it was a different matter.If possible, when he establishes a crown prince in the future, he will naturally consider the eldest son first.

In Cao's view, the Meng family was just a businessman, and they were the lowest in this era.If it weren't for the Meng family's kindness in saving Lin Zhao's life, and the two were childhood sweethearts, they would definitely not have given Meng Ruoying the status of equal wife.As for Zhewenxin, although the status of the Zhe family in Fuzhou is not low, there are some differences in the fact that the Zhe family has Hu blood.

Therefore, the status of the sons of the two ordinary wives is relatively low. Only the noble Chai Minyan can be the mother of the world, and her son can inherit the throne.In addition, Mrs. Cao was already familiar with her and was most satisfied with this daughter-in-law, so some selfishness was normal.

Thinking of this, Cao's heart hoped that Lin Zhao would become emperor even more.As a result, the only worries in my heart disappeared, and I had to support Lin Zhao with all my strength.

"Ma'am, even though that's the case, I'm afraid this child is blessed." Zhao Fukang said with a smile: "When the child was born, the rain just stopped and the sky began to clear. It's really rare. So Dongyang named the child Qiu Ning. My nickname is Qinger."

"Qiu Ning, Qing'er..." Cao Shi nodded and said, "In this way, it's really true, very good!"

"Okay, I will find a way to bring the child into the palace some other day and let her come to see the grandmother. The empress should prepare the presents first!"

"That's natural!" Now that she has been promoted to a real grandmother, Cao's mood is very happy.The only regret is: "Is Dongyang going to leave Bianjing again?"

"Yes, he is going to Hebei to control the river!" Zhao Fukang said: "I heard that he has formulated a good method for river control, which can really solve the flood of the Yellow River."

"It's so good, it can be regarded as fulfilling his father's unfulfilled last wish..." Cao muttered, seemingly a little sad, and after a moment of sadness, he whispered: "Tell them to take good care of the child..."

With Renzong's many children, few of them grew up smoothly, so she was inevitably a little worried.
