Chapter 797 Happy Money

The Marquis of Jingnan's eyes lit up immediately, and then, he looked at Si Niang with some disbelief.

However, he didn't ask, "Are you pregnant?" Instead, he walked outside and called out:

"Fan Zhengwen, come in!"

The head of the Fan family was still sitting in his previous seat, continuing to enjoy tea with Qu Peiluo. When he was called, he immediately trotted in, not daring to delay in the slightest.

"My Lady is feeling unwell. Take a look at her."

"Yes, my Lord."

Fan Zhengwen walked to the table and said to Si Niang:

"My Lady, please forgive me for taking your pulse."

Si Niang stretched out her hand, and Fan Zhengwen took her pulse;

He lifted his hand,

And then took her pulse again;

Finally,

Fan Zhengwen got up and said to the Marquis of Jingnan:

"Congratulations, my Lord, it's a happy pulse!"

"A happy pulse?"

"Absolutely certain. I've checked twice."

"Good, good."

The Marquis of Jingnan's voice began to go off-key.

Seeing this, Fan Zhengwen excused himself and left.

Zheng Fan then took Si Niang's hand directly, looking at Si Niang's stomach, still somewhat incredulous, and said:

"Really?"

"Yes, Master," Si Niang replied, clearly, she had known for a long time.

"That's great, that's great."

The Marquis of Jingnan subconsciously looked around, grabbing his hands and releasing them again, his heart felt like a fire was brewing.

Reason told him that he shouldn't be too excited and had to maintain his image;

But emotionally, the dam had burst.

Outside,

Fan Zhengwen sat back in his seat and said:

"My Lady is pregnant, the Marquis is very happy."

"Very happy?" Qu Peiluo was a little puzzled. After all, the princess was already pregnant and it wasn't her first child, so why be so happy?

In the normal cognitive habits of wealthy families, only the eldest son and the firstborn son were worth rejoicing over. After that, because there were generally many women, there were also many children. Except for the occasional little son or little daughter when they were old, the emotions for the group in the middle had long since subsided.

"Yes, very happy."

"The one who is pregnant is that 'Mr. Feng'?"

"Yes, actually, I've always had a guess in my mind. General Nian ended up in such a state, the Marquis said it was because General Nian had made a human pig first;

But I think,

It's very likely that it was because Nian Yao was brought back to the hall that day, and he spoke disrespectfully to Mr. Feng, angering the Marquis, which led to..."

Fan Zhengwen waved his hand down,

"Crack!"

"Is that so?"

Fan Zhengwen stroked his beard again and said with emotion, "If that's the case, it's more like something you would do."

Qu Peiluo shook his head and said:

"I was pretending."

"Then what do you say about the Marquis?"

Qu Peiluo said:

"The Marquis doesn't need to pretend."

At this moment,

The Marquis of Jingnan had already walked out of the cabin and shouted to Chen Xianba:

"Order the ship to stop, this Marquis wants to go ashore."

…

The ship stopped,

The Marquis of Jingnan went ashore.

Fan Li and A Ming were also brought ashore together.

On the ship,

The blind man entered the cabin.

"Did you tell Master?" the blind man asked.

Si Niang nodded, "I told him. Master asked Fan Zhengwen to take my pulse earlier, but Master may have forgotten that my medical skills are much better than Fan Zhengwen's."

"Master is overjoyed."

"Is he?" Si Niang looked at the blind man.

"You can feel it. Other than the earliest time in Tiger Head City, it's been many years since I've seen Master lose control of his emotions like this."

"Master lost control of his emotions in Tiger Head City?"

"Self-pity and being easily sentimental are also expressions of emotional loss of control. Let me guess, you pretended to be about to vomit in front of Master, right?"

"Yes."

"Look, with your physique, would you have morning sickness when you're pregnant?"

"Why not?"

"Then did you have morning sickness?"

"Not yet."

"Okay, we can make a bet."

"Boring."

"Well, I can see that Master is really overjoyed, so happy that he can't control himself."

Si Niang said nonchalantly: "It's not like he hasn't been a father before, it's not like he hasn't seen his woman pregnant before, how can it be as exaggerated as you say."

The blind man nodded and said;

"Okay, I know you actually saw it a long time ago, but you're deliberately being low-key here in order to increase your pleasure by having me say it personally.

Okay,

I'll satisfy you.

People are always bound to have selfish motives, and only saints can be fair in everything.

Look at how excited Master is this time,

He's being very obviously biased.

It may be a little unfair to the princess to say this, but the fact is that in Master's cognition and emotional instincts, what he looks forward to the most is the crystallization with you."

Si Niang sat down, picked up some grapes, and put them in her mouth, her posture elegant.

The corners of her lips were slightly curved;

She didn't bother to compare, it wasn't that she was willing to be compared; she didn't love men, it wasn't that she was willing to be an outsider;

"This is a formal congratulations to you for being pregnant."

"And then?"

"And then, the other few will definitely be very excited when they find out later."

"And then?"

"The one in your belly is your child with Master, but for the rest of us six, it's actually like our child as well.

It's very interesting, and it also feels very unreal;

Among us,

Someone actually has their own bloodline,

This is a kind of recognition, and also a kind of inheritance.

Take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. After we go back, I'll try my best to help you share some of the affairs of the Marquis's mansion."

"I'm not that delicate."

"Actually, although we and Master have had bonds for a long time, whether it's in terms of advancement or life and death, or the emotions accumulated over the years;

But these are all acquired.

And your child will, from the day of his birth, directly become the real concern of the seven of us.

To a certain extent, it is more pure and natural than Master, who has made such arduous efforts.

Because he is born to be one of our own."

Si Niang stretched out her hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, saying:

"Do you see the radiance of maternal love in my eyes?"

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, no."

"I'm already trying hard."

"In this regard, there's no need to force yourself."

"But seeing him so happy, I also want to be as happy as him. You know, even if it's pretending, I want to be more natural."

"That's not realistic."

"I will work hard to make it a reality."

"Okay, that's your requirement for life, by the way, Master has gone ashore."

"I know."

"He's too excited, so he doesn't know what to do, but in short, this kind of joy needs to be vented.

It's also a coincidence,

There's a group of Chu soldiers escorting us from behind."

Hearing this, Si Niang walked to the window, opened the curtain, and looked at the shore. The Marquis of Jingnan's flag had already been erected. The knights who were originally guarding the fleet on the shore at this time also turned their horses around and followed their Marquis, chasing after a Chu army in the rear.

The blind man also walked over and continued, "So, you really can't say that Zhao Jiulang was wrong about that incident back then. Maybe King Jingnan had the same reaction as Master does now.

I think this child is an opportunity. When he is born, Master will be willing to do anything for him, and that also includes us."

"Blind man."

"Hmm?"

"Although it's too early to say this now, I still want to warn you in advance."

"Go ahead."

"You're not allowed to tell my future child any stories about Sachima."

…

The Chu army following the Marquis of Jingnan's northward army was not an elite force, and could not even be called an "army" in the traditional sense.

The Yan people passed through their territory without any reaction, which seemed inappropriate, and they might be punished for dereliction of duty.

Therefore, garrisons from various county towns and military fortresses sent out their stationed soldiers. Everyone was in a huddle, just following behind in a token way.

The Yan people were busy rushing on their way and had no intention of getting involved with them. Everyone was safe and sound.

In this way, the Yan people's road went smoothly, and they could report a victory upwards, saying that they had recovered many lost territories from the Yan people, etc. If they were bolder, they could say that they had repelled the Yan people out of their defense zone.

In short, it was impossible to take the initiative to provoke a war, so they could only follow behind and pretend.

Huang Dingyuan was one of the sons-in-law of the Zhao family. He originally came here to gain experience and enhance his reputation through the connections of his wife's family. However, because he was too far away from the core of the Zhao family's power, and because the Chu aristocracy had begun to decline, and their power and influence were decreasing day by day, no one could take care of him anymore. The original place for gaining experience and enhancing his reputation was likely to become a place where he would waste his entire life.

Therefore, Huang Dingyuan wanted to seize this opportunity. On a large scale, the Yan people defeated the regular Chu army in Fancheng. Huang Dingyuan knew his own capabilities, and in addition, the soldiers in his military fortress were a bunch of misfits who could not accomplish anything major. However, Huang Dingyuan took the initiative to lead his two hundred or so men, half of whom didn't even have proper armor, and "pursued" the most vigorously and were the closest.

Huang Dingyuan believed that after another defeat in Chu, a small victory was urgently needed to boost morale, wasn't he it?

However,

The Yan people suddenly seemed to have gone crazy. After stopping the ship, they took the initiative to charge towards them on horseback.

When the other troops, who had been maintaining close distances with each other, saw the Yan people's movements, they immediately began to retreat. These local troops were not good at fighting, and they were a bunch of "rabble" put together temporarily, who could not even achieve unified command, so how could they resist the Yan people's offensive?

In the situation where Huang Dingyuan's troops were the closest, it was too late to escape, and the other troops around them were avoiding them and no one wanted to lend a hand;

The soldiers around Huang Dingyuan were directly defeated, and Huang Dingyuan himself was overturned from his horse by Fan Li and became a prisoner of the Yan people.

"Mar... Mar... Marquis..."

Huang Dingyuan knelt in front of the man riding the Pixiu without any backbone.

The Marquis of Jingnan waved his hand and said:

"Men, release all the prisoners, give each of them a string of happy money, and let them share the joy."
