Chapter 1120 Hua Lan gives birth and the legitimate son is born

Shengfu!

Sheng Hong took off his clothes and was waiting for Lin Sushuang. He was about to be gentle when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps.

"Master, something big has happened. The eldest son of Marquis Zhongjing has left."

"what?"

Sheng Hong jumped down from Lin Sushuang in shock, rushed over to open the door in disheveled clothes, and pulled Dong Rong's collar.

"What are you talking about? The eldest son of Zhongjing Hou Mansion is gone. Is he gone in the way I thought?"

Dong Rong nodded repeatedly, not daring to look directly at his master, lowered his head and replied: "Yes, this matter has been spread throughout the inner city. I also heard that the old Marquis was so sad that he vomited blood and collapsed."

Sheng Hong trembled in shock: "Something big has happened, really big trouble has happened. Quick, quick, call the lady and go to mother."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Dongrong suddenly reminded: "Master, clothes, clothes."

Sheng Hong looked down and realized that he had no clothes on, so he hurried back to the house to put on clothes.

Lin Sushuang, who was also disheveled, said delicately: "Master, I just heard..."

"Shut up, it has nothing to do with you, don't pry."

Sheng Hong was just too lazy to pay attention to her. He would definitely have to discuss such a big matter with his mother, so he was not in the mood to talk to Lin Sushuang, his concubine.

In Lin Sushuang's shocked and aggrieved eyes, Sheng Hong ran away without even putting on his clothes.

Lin Sushuang's expression was gloomy and uncertain. She couldn't figure out why the eldest son of the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion was gone. If he died, wouldn't it be the eldest son-in-law and the eldest lady who would inherit the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion in the future? Isn't it the same as picking up a marquis's wife?
"Damn, damn, how could they be so lucky? The people in Zhongjinghou Mansion are also short-lived."

She has been fighting with Wang Ruofu for so many years, but since she came to Tokyo, except for the time when Hualan got married, she had been the housekeeper. At other times, Mrs. Wang was the housekeeper. Now she finds that Wang Ruofu will She hated becoming the mother of the future Marquis's wife and wanted to replace her.

At this time, Sheng Hong had already arrived at Shou'an Hall, and Wang Ruofu followed closely. However, the old lady got up a little slower.

"Officer, is the news true? Is the Dalang of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion really gone?"

Wang Ruofu asked Sheng Hong eagerly. She was in a very complicated mood at this time. Logically speaking, she should be sad when someone passed away, but in fact, she was not sad at all. Instead, she was a little happy.

No matter how naive she was, she knew she shouldn't have such thoughts at this time, but she really couldn't stop the joy from coming out.

The eldest son of the Marquis of Zhongjing is gone, and the one who will inherit the Marquis in the future will definitely be Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen is her son-in-law, and her son-in-law will become the Marquis of Zhongjing, and her daughter will be the Marquis's wife.

Unless you hurt yourself, you will never understand how painful it is for others.

Sheng Hong said in a deep voice: "Dong Rong said that the news has spread throughout Tokyo. How can this be false?"

At this moment, Mrs. Sheng walked out with the support of Fang's mother.

"Mother."

"What happened? You came here so late?"

Sheng Hong said hurriedly: "Mother, I just got the news that the eldest son of the Marquis Zhongjing Mansion is gone."

Old Mrs. Sheng's expression suddenly changed, and she said anxiously: "What are you talking about, the eldest son of Hui's family is really gone?"

Although she had guessed before, she was still surprised when she actually heard it. She must know that it was less than half a year before Hualan returned home to Ning.

"It's gone."

The old lady looked serious: "You are the head of the family, and we are in-laws with the Zhongjing Hou Mansion. You go now and see if there is anything to help over there. Madam, you should go with us."

"Okay, mother, let's go there now."

Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu both nodded quickly, especially Wang Ruofu. Now that something happened in the Zhongjing Hou Mansion, her daughter was still pregnant. She was very worried about her daughter.

Zhongjing Hou Zhou Mansion, because the old prince is seriously ill, Zhou Chen is responsible for all the affairs of the Hou Mansion.

Zhou Chen had already sent someone to ask for leave. Even the officials knew about this and specially approved Zhou Chen to take leave.

Funerals in ancient times were not as simple as modern times and could be completed in just a few days. Especially for a large family like Zhongjinghou Mansion, it was even more complicated.

Zhou Chen was busy, and the funeral was not completely over until the thank you banquet was held a month later.

At night, the courtyard where Zhou Chen was located was still lit with light.

Hualan placed the things he had prepared in front of Zhou Chen.

"Here are the deeds for six shops, two hundred acres of good paddy fields, and some jewelry packed in the bottom of the box, all for Sister Fu."

Zhou Chen nodded silently and sighed: "Although eldest brother may have already made arrangements, these are also our wishes. In the future, we will also need to take care of sister Fu's affairs. Go and tell eldest sister-in-law that as long as I am here, there will be no People dare to bully her and Sister Fu."

Hua Lan silently agreed, and she also agreed with Zhou Chen's decision in her heart. She was a kind-hearted person. After the death of her eldest brother, she left only orphans and widows. If they didn't take care of them, a family without a man would definitely be destroyed. Being bullied by those who are unkind.

How did Chijuehu come about?Even the emperor can be bullied by his ministers because he has no heirs, let alone his ministers.

If he had a choice, Zhou Chen did not want this title. He could rely on his own abilities to create a new world, but things often went against his will. Zhou Tong was also considered to be extremely talented, but it was a pity that his life ended due to a serious illness. .

"Guanren, how is father?"

"It's not good. The death of his eldest brother was a big blow to him. In addition, his health was not very good to begin with. Under such a huge stimulus, it became worse."

Zhou Chen can understand Zhou Yexiong, despite his usual cold behavior and being very dissatisfied with Zhou Tong.

But in the final analysis, Zhou Tong was also trained by him. Most of his energy was spent on Zhou Tong, just to train Zhou Tong into his ideal successor.

But who would have known that the son he had cultivated with all his heart would eventually go ahead of him, which was a huge blow to him.

Zhou Yexiong's health was not good to begin with. After suffering such a blow, both mental and physical injuries made him weaker.

Fortunately, there is still such a capable legitimate son as Zhou Chen, otherwise, the Zhongjing Hou Mansion would be in chaos now.

Zhou Chen also went to see Zhou Yexiong many times. Now Zhou Yexiong was very weak and no longer wanted to take care of anything. He handed over all the affairs of the Hou Mansion to him, including all the property and connections of the Hou Mansion.

Now Zhou Chen, apart from not having the title of Marquis Zhongjing, is already the actual master of the Zhou Mansion, and the Zhou Mansion is now dominated by him.

In fact, Zhou Yexiong was already terminally ill, but he still persisted. Zhou Chen knew what he was persisting on.

Even though the relationship between Zhou Xu and Zhou Yexiong was not harmonious, at this time, Zhou Xu finally couldn't let go of Zhou Yexiong, so she moved to Zhou Yexiong's yard and began to take care of Zhou Yexiong wholeheartedly.

A few days ago, Gu Tingye, the younger brother who admired Zhou Chen, left Tokyo and went to Bailudong Academy to study. Zhou Chen happened to be free, so he went with Sheng Changbai to say goodbye to him.

Gu Tingye is also a poor man. His mother died young, he has a bad relationship with his father, and he has a stepmother who constantly praises and kills him. In recent years, he has become one of the most famous dandy yamen in Tokyo.

Zhou Chen knew that his trip would cause trouble, so he gave him special instructions before leaving.

"Zhong Huai, it's a good thing for you to go to school, but you have to control yourself and don't be dragged down by women."

Gu Tingye looked embarrassed at that time: "Brother Zhou Zhou, do you also believe the rumors from the outside world and think that I am a dandy who only knows how to visit Goulanwashe?"

Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Of course not. I know your abilities, but your biggest problem right now is that you have soft ears. I'm afraid you will suffer a disadvantage when it comes to women."

The current Gu Tingye is not the Gu Tingye in the middle and later stages of the plot. He is still very simple-minded, especially when it comes to women. He has not suffered enough losses, so naturally he has no defense.

What role is Zhu Manniang in the plot?He was able to deceive Gu Tingye. It cannot be said that Gu Tingye is not smart. It can only be said that he lacks love and lacks enough defense against women.

"I remember what brother said."

Although Gu Tingye felt that he could not be that stupid, he still thanked Zhou Chen for the reminder. He and Sheng Changbai were best friends, but he admired Zhou Chen from the bottom of his heart.

Whether it was Zhou Chen's knowledge, his ability to lead troops in battle, or his unparalleled personal combat prowess, he had the utmost respect.

Although Zhou Chen was not a Jinshi, he was Jieyuan at the beginning, and he was a pioneer general who conquered the two states. Naturally, he was good at martial arts. He even tried to compete with Zhou Chen in private, but the result was disastrous. Once Zhou Chen became serious, he He couldn't even survive a few moves.

Therefore, he has always regarded Zhou Chen as his role model and goal, hoping that one day he can catch up with Zhou Chen's footsteps. "Brother, Zecheng, we will meet again next year."

After bidding farewell to Gu Tingye, Zhou Chen invited Sheng Changbai to the Hou Mansion. Sheng Changbai was also a little worried about his eldest sister, so he followed Zhou Chen to the Hou Mansion to meet his eldest sister Hualan.

Time flew by so fast. Seeing that Hua Lan was about to give birth, everyone in the Zhongjing Hou Mansion became nervous.

Hualan's status is different now. Zhou Chen is the determined future Marquis of Zhongjing, and Hualan is the future Marquis's wife and the master of all the servants in the mansion. Her birth naturally affects everyone's hearts.

Zhou Chen came to his father Zhou Yexiong's room. Zhou Yexiong sat up from the bed and looked directly at Zhou Chen. There was no one else in the room except the two of them.

"Sanlang, my time is running out. I have already told you everything that needs to be said, but there are some things that, as a father, I still want to remind you."

Zhou Chen stood in front of Zhou Yexiong: "Father, please speak."

"I know you are dissatisfied with me and feel that I am too unkind to do things, but you are so smart that by now, you will definitely be able to understand the reason why I did this. As the head of the family and a hereditary Marquis, if the means are not enough, he will only I was bullied to the point where my head was bleeding.”

"Since the founding of our dynasty, there have been so many nobles, but now, how many nobles are there in Tokyo City? How many nobles are just empty shells, with people like us, Marquis Zhongjing, who can hold power and have prestige? How much honor do you have? As the head of a family, you may not be capable, but you must not be merciful. You must ensure your status and legitimacy. Anyone who dares to threaten your existence must not be let go. "

Zhou Yexiong's face was fierce, his eyes flashed with memories: "I have paid a lot for this, your second uncle's family..."

He didn't say anything further, but Zhou Chen understood what he meant and sighed in his heart. This father was indeed ruthless. Although the Hou Mansion was not as bloody as the royal family for the throne, it was really a swordsman secretly.

"And the most important thing, remember, you must distinguish between concubine and concubine, and you must not spoil your concubine or destroy your wife."

Zhou Chen said seriously: "Father, don't worry, I will never spoil my concubine or destroy my wife. Hualan will always be my favorite wife, and no one can shake his status."

Zhou Yexiong nodded and said, "I believe you on this. You do better than me. Your wife is a kind-hearted person who can manage the household. I'm not worried about her. I'm only worried about one thing."

"Father, please speak."

"It's still the legitimate concubine I just mentioned. Although you have not taken a concubine now, I still want to remind you that before the legitimate son is born, there must be no concubine. If there is, he must not be born."

At the end of the sentence, Zhou Yexiong's expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, and even Zhou Chen was frightened.

"I made this mistake back then, so I had to deal with it twice myself. It was precisely because of this that my relationship with your mother became estranged."

"hiss!"

Zhou Chen took a breath, Zhou Yexiong said it in an understatement, but how could he not hear it.

This father, in order to ensure direct inheritance, did he actually do something to his own blood?And twice, how cruel.

Having this kind of thing happen to me is a completely different feeling than hearing about it.

"Don't be surprised. This is what must be done to maintain the direct inheritance. We must not let the bastard threaten the status of the legitimate son. You have to remember this, otherwise I will die in peace."

Under Zhou Yexiong's gaze, Zhou Chen nodded and agreed that he would not do anything to his own blood, so he had not thought about concubinage for the time being, and he did not want the instability of the back house to happen.

"Remember my words again, we are only loyal to the emperor and will never participate in the dispute over the establishment of an heir."

Although he has been staying in the mansion, he also knows that the imperial court is currently fighting bloody battles over the establishment of an heir. Their Zhongjinghou Mansion is also a famous family of military commanders in Tokyo, and they are definitely the target of all parties competing to win over.

He knew that Zhou Chen was capable, but he was still afraid that Zhou Chen was too young to distinguish the stakes, so he warned him.

"I see, father."

"Go, go, I've already explained everything that needs to be explained. It's up to you to see what happens to the Hou Mansion in the future."

Zhou Chen left the dim room, but Zhou Yexiong still sat there, his eyes full of expectation. He didn't mind Zhou Chen having opinions about him, but he wanted to see what Zhou Chen's control of the Zhou family would bring to the Zhou family. Such height.

Even though he didn't say it, he knew in his heart that this third son was indeed better than the eldest son he had carefully cultivated. Even he couldn't see through those eyes.

Zhou Chen was the only child in the Hou family that he could not see through, but he felt relieved that such a person would not lead the Hou family into the abyss.

On an ordinary night in autumn, Zhou Chen was walking with Hua Lan. Suddenly Hua Lan felt a stomach ache. Zhou Chen reacted very quickly, knowing that this was a prelude to giving birth, so he immediately invited the baby who had been arranged at the mansion for a long time. Steady Po.

It is a very dangerous thing for a woman to give birth, especially in ancient times, everything depends on the woman's own perseverance. Zhou Chen wanted to help, but was kicked out directly by his mother, Zhou Xu.

Although Hualan has always been under Zhou Chen's care, when it was time to give birth, he was still quite nervous.

Listening to the screams of pain coming from the room, Zhou Chen frowned and couldn't help but worry about Hua Lan's health.

"Hua'er, Hua'er, where is my Hua'er?"

Suddenly a panicked call came. Zhou Chen turned around and saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law running over, and Wang Ruofu kept shouting.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law."

Wang Ruofu grabbed Zhou Chen and asked, "Is my Hua'er inside? How is the situation?"

"It's been more than an hour, but there's no danger. It's just that it hasn't been born yet."

Wang Ruofu rushed into the delivery room without saying a word. As a woman, she naturally knew that women risk their lives when giving birth. When she came, she naturally wanted to stay with her daughter.

Although Sheng Hong was anxious, he was still calm.

"Sanlang, you don't need to be too nervous. Hua Lan is a lucky person and will be fine."

"Father-in-law, does grandma know about it too?"

"Well, after my mother heard the news, she didn't fall asleep. She kept praying for Hua'er."

Sheng Hong was naturally nervous. He also knew that the child in his daughter's belly was very important. If the baby was a boy, his daughter's position in the Hou Mansion would be extremely secure.

Even if it's a girl, that's okay. Anyway, the son-in-law doesn't have a concubine now. As long as he works hard, he will have a son sooner or later.

While everyone was waiting extremely anxiously, until early in the morning, a loud cry of a baby was heard, and suddenly the dark clouds dispersed and the sky was clear.

"Born, born."

Sheng Hong jumped up, even more excited than Zhou Chen, and couldn't wait to look into the delivery room, wanting to know the result.

Soon someone came out and congratulated loudly.

"It's a young master. My wife gave birth to a young master."

"Okay, great."

Zhou Chen looked at the cheering father-in-law speechlessly. This father-in-law was even more excited than he was as a father.

"Rewards, there are many rewards."

Zhou Chen walked into the room and saw his mother and mother-in-law holding their children, with bright smiles on their faces.

He did not go to see the child, but went inside to check on his wife's condition. He found that his wife had fallen asleep weakly. He took a pulse for a while and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, apart from being weak, there are no other problems.

Zhou Xu handed the child into Zhou Chen's hands and left here.

In the dim room, Zhou Yexiong sat up again. He was waiting for good news.

Soon, his wife came in and brought him the news he wanted.

"Give birth, Sanlang has his eldest son."

Zhou Yexiong's ugly face suddenly burst into an extremely bright smile.

"The Zhou family has a successor."
