Chapter 73(1/2)
The youngest of the three brothers is over thirty years old, and the eldest brother is nearly 40 years old. After years of war and no fixed place to live, it makes it difficult for us brothers and children to find children.
Gan and Mi also had pregnancy, but unfortunately, they both had miscarriages while running around, and their second brother has not yet married! Rong'er's birth can be said to have carried the hope of our three brothers.
I held a swaddle in one hand, and I was extremely careful in my movements, for fear of waking up the sleeping child. The two little guys were blushing, and their tender skin was slightly wrinkled.
The son with the right hand is obviously much bigger than the daughter with the left hand. It seems that this "guy" "bullyed" his sister very much during the fetus.
These two little guys are the continuation of my blood! This is the first time I have been a father in two lives. This feeling is really indescribable————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I couldn't help but look forward and gently touched the two children's faces.
"Three brother, be careful, don't hurt the child!" The elder brother reminded me carefully.
"Yeah!" I responded softly, carefully preparing to hand over the cradle to the maid next to me. But the eldest brother and the second brother each reached out to take a child and hugged him carefully.
It’s okay for the eldest brother. Even the second brother, who has always been calm and serious, actually smiled kindly and gently patted the cradle...
I turned my head, sat carefully on the edge of the couch, and looked at Rong'er quietly---It's hard to imagine how Rong'er gave birth to two children with such a weak body! I only heard from the elder brother that it took 7 hours from the time Rong'er had signs of giving birth to her second child.
Because of premature birth and twins, the danger is naturally conceivable. During this period, Rong'er even had a state of fake death, which shocked the midwife and the maids to death. Fortunately, the personal maid Jin'er was smart.
Rong'er kept calling my name in her ears, and then she miraculously awakened Rong'er and saved the safety of her mother and son.
Rong'er's face is extremely pale, but she has a kind of maternal glory, adding some of her glory to her.
"My husband... you are back!" At some point, Rong'er, who had been sleeping, woke up quietly, and her eyes were irresistible with tenderness and joy. After a slight sigh, Rong'er struggled to poke out of the brocade quilt.
I hurriedly reached out and held the jade with flawless texture and softness as soft as bonelessness, and said apologetically: "Madam... Thank you for your hard work!"
"Honey, have you seen the child?"
"I've seen it..." I nodded repeatedly and replied in a harmonious voice, "My son is like me, he will definitely be tall and mighty in the future. My daughter is like you, and she will definitely be charming in the future..."
"Yeah..." Rong'er pointed her head slightly, and Rouyi held my hand tighter.
The eldest brother, second brother, midwife, and maids quietly left the room.
I moved to the head of the bed, and then carefully wrapped Rong'er's body into my arms...
The room was burning a warm stove, and the fragrant wood was filled with the calmness, just like the warm spring...
…………………………………….
That night, I was in my house. To celebrate Rong'er's safety and the birth of the child, my elder brother and my second brother drank happily...
After several rounds of drinking, the three of us were all a little drunk. Although I had a good alcohol tolerance, I was so happy. The wine I drank was almost the same as the size of the elder brother and the second brother.
"Second brother, third brother! I am ashamed of you for your brother..." The eldest brother put down the wine, and suddenly said melancholy, "Ordinary families, those who have reached the age of the year have already grown up and their children are surrounded by their knees..."
My second brother and I both put down our wine and looked at our elder brother quietly.
“The clouds are long.
Yide! With the talent of you two, if you had not followed me, the land-free brother, I would have been named a marquis and general, and guarded the Muzhou state..." The elder brother sighed and said with emotion, "More than ten years of displaced home, not only has it abandoned your opportunity to make achievements, but also delayed your family and family building! I feel guilty for my brother... Fortunately, Yide finally has a future today, and I..." The elder brother's voice gradually choked up.
"Brother. When the Taoyuan was in a feud, my brothers had vowed to Tianmeng. I didn't want to be born on the same day of the same year, the same month, and the same day of the same year, the same month..." The second brother was also excited.
He said in a high voice, "Brother, I, the third brother, and the three of us have lived and died together for more than ten years, even better than their biological brothers... Since they are brothers, Man said that they could not get married and establish a house, even if they were abandoning their lives!"
"Brother! What the second brother said is very much..." I continued my second brother's words and wanted to continue to advise my elder brother.
"Ba~!" The elder brother suddenly slapped the table and said resolutely, "I have decided———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Ah~~!" My second brother and I looked at each other in a glance—it turned out that the eldest brother was having this idea.
"Haha..." I laughed and said, "I agree with my elder brother's decision! My second brother shouldn't delay it anymore. Taking this opportunity, it happens to be more happy and happy, and two happy things are coming!"
"It should be three joys..." said the eldest brother, "Your sister-in-law Mi is also three months pregnant..."
"How can you not celebrate with such a great joy?" I hurriedly raised my title to respect my elder brother...
………………………………….
Because I was so happy that all three of us were drunk. It was not until noon the next day that I woke up from the hangover.
After simply washing and changing out the clothes, I went back to the bedroom to visit Rong'er and her two children.
Maybe because I was in a better mood when I saw me coming back, Rong'er's complexion was much better than last night, and her originally pale face had already shown a little blood.
After staying in the room for half an hour, after Rong'er and the child fell asleep, I couldn't rest and left for the eldest brother's county magistrate's mansion.
When I came to the county magistrate's office, my elder brother was discussing affairs with someone in the hall.
"Yide, you rushed for a day yesterday, why didn't you rest at home?" The eldest brother asked in surprise when he saw me coming.
"If you can't stay idle, come and take a look!" After I saluted my elder brother, I laughed and then looked at the surroundings. There were only 6 people in the conference hall.
In addition to my elder brother, Xu Shu, Sun Qian and Mi Zhu, there are two Confucian scholars whom I don’t know.
"General. I haven't had time to congratulate you yet..." Xu Shu, Sun Qian and Mi Zhu said to me very enthusiastically.
"Haha..." I smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi, Gongyou, Zizhong, I will all go to my house tonight. I will only stop drunk with you..."
"Although the senior official has a poor alcohol tolerance, the general must drink this wine!" Sun Qian smiled happily.
"Yide, you don't have to worry about this matter!" The eldest brother said with a smile, "Tonight I will celebrate my nephew and niece. You can come here and do it!"
"Thank you, brother!" My brother had no heir in his middle age, and he had regarded my children as his own.
"Brother, are these two gentlemen the land you mentioned in your letter - Mr. Zhuge Kongming and Mr. Zhang Zhongsi?" I looked at the two strange Confucian scholars.
"That's right!" The elder brother stood up and walked up to me, pointing to one of the handsome and elegant young scholars and said, "This is Mr. Zhuge Kongming, a disciple of Duke Lumende, a fellow disciple of Yuan Zhizhi, with a lofty experience and a genius of the world!"
"My lord is too rewarded!" Zhuge Liang bowed and gave a slight salute. He said humbly, "Zhuge Liang of Xiangyang (because he came out of the mountain early, Zhuge Liang did not go to Nanyang to live in seclusion, so he called himself a native of Xiangyang). He has met General Zhang!"
Zhuge Daming is in the universe. A feather in the sky forever!
In my era, if anyone mentioned Zhuge Liang, he would probably know him. Zhuge Liang's direct name could be directly equated with "wisdom".
I have met Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Lu Xun, Pang Tong before... If we only talk about wisdom, these people are probably almost the same as Zhuge Liang, and they are even between me. But the Zhuge Liang in front of me was the strongest shock to me.
"Mr. Kongming doesn't have to be too polite!" I replied anxiously, "I have heard of Mr. Gong for a long time. I have seen him today, which is a blessing in my life!"
Seeing that my attitude was so humble and enthusiastic, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although Zhuge Liang believed in his talents and knowledge, he was still very convinced. In the world, except Xiangyang, there were probably few people who knew Zhuge Liang's name.
"Liang is a talented person, and he dare not be praised by General Zhang!" Although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, Zhuge Liang did not show his feelings and said humbly.
"Third brother, this is Mr. Zhang Zhongyi, a disciple of the great scholar Hu Gong Wuban!" The eldest brother introduced another person to me.
"Dongping Zhang Yi. Have met General Zhang!"
"Mr. Zhang is very talented. Brother has mentioned it in his letter, Zhang Fei is polite!" After I replied, I looked at Zhang Yi carefully.
Zhang Yi's appearance is far from that of Zhuge Liang, but behind his ordinary and unconventional appearance, he also has an extraordinary demeanor that cannot be ignored.
But there is something that makes Zhang Yi feel very uncomfortable——his eyes seem a little too sharp. If you want to make a simple metaphor, you will be like an eagle or a wolf.
"Kong Ming and Zhongyi are both heroes of the times. It is my blessing to get help from both of them, and to the country and the people!" The eldest brother seemed very satisfied with the two of them.
"Brother, what are you discussing just now?" I nodded, and I was still thinking about Zhang Yi's strange eyes, but I asked other questions.
"We are discussing how to resettle the people who moved from Runan to Shouchun!" The eldest brother said with a smile, "Yun Chang's previous guide to Runan, and moved more than 90,000 people to Shouchun..."
"Oh~~?" I said with interest...
...After half an hour, with the joint planning of Xu Shu and others, a very complete plan was formulated. The eldest brother immediately decided to implement this method, emphasizing that the people must live in peace.
During the entire discussion process, I often just act as an audience, and only occasionally make some small suggestions.
After the matter was over, the elder brother specifically ordered Xu Shu and the others to come to the house to attend the banquet in the evening, and then announced that the matter would end here.
After saluting my elder brother and me, Xu Shu and others walked out of the hall one after another. Unintentionally, I glanced at Zhang Yi's back and was surprised to find that he could see behind him from the corner of his eyes.
The word "hawk's eyes are like a wolf's eyes???? I quickly reflected this word in my mind. If I remember it well, there seemed to be only one person who looked like "hawk's eyes are like a wolf's eyes" in the late Han and Three Kingdoms period - Sima Yi!
Sima Yi is the most outstanding talent among the famous Sima clan in Hanoi, while the Sima clan is the backbone of the Cao Cao regime. Logically speaking, how could Sima Yi never run to his elder brother to serve in the office? Is there any difference as I expected?
"Zhongda stay!" After a moment of contemplation, I suddenly shouted loudly to Zhang Yi.
Hearing the shouts coming from behind, Zhang Yi stopped immediately, as if he was stunned.
"Third brother, who are you calling me?" The eldest brother looked at me in a little astonishment.
At this moment, Xu Shu, Sun Gan and others also turned their heads one after another and looked at me curiously.
"Are General Zhang calling Xiaguan?" When he turned his head, Zhang Yi looked as usual and asked in surprise, "It's just that the name Xiaguan is Zhongsi, not Zhongda..."
"Uh~~" I apologized, "It's Fei's mistake! Mr. Zhongsi!"
"General Zhang called Xiaguan, I wonder what's wrong?" Zhang Yi asked in a sudden expression.
"I wonder how many brothers are there in Mr. Zhongsi's family? I have seen one person who is quite similar to Mr. Zhang. He said that he is the youngest in the family and is ranked eighth!" I asked with a smile.
"There are only two brothers in Xiaguan's family, and the younger brother is dead..." Zhang Yi said with a sad face.
"For Zhongyi, the nephew of the Zhang Mengzhuo clan of the prefect of Chenliu, most of the relatives and friends in his clan have been killed by Cao's thieves!" The eldest brother explained to me from the side.
"Feith out of his words, please forgive me, Mr. Zhongsi!" I looked apologetic and bowed my hand and said, "Sir, please do whatever you want!"
"The official is leaving!" After Zhang Yi returned the gift, he stepped out of the hall.
"Third brother, is there anything wrong?" As soon as my elder brother saw my expression, words and deeds, he knew that I had some doubts about Zhang Yi.
"Brother, nothing! This Mr. Zhang is indeed very similar to a person I have seen before..." I replied with a smile. Before the incident was confirmed, I had falsely falsely said that it was a mistake.
