Chapter 175：

Accompanied by the sound of sand and gravel rubbing, the city gate was slowly opened, and what came into sight was Lou Yao in official uniform and He Zhaojun with a high belly. The two teams inside and outside the city gate were a little absent-minded. . Shaoshang kicked Cheng Shaogong off the carriage two miles away from Yaoxian County, and got in by herself. At this time, she opened the curtain of the carriage and watched secretly.

Lou Yao took a few steps forward, bowed to the ground according to the etiquette, and invited everyone to enter the city, saying that he was humble, Cheng Shao Gong came to the car and whispered: "Look at your bad idea, I I remember Lou Yao used to call Huohou 'brother Zicheng'."

Shao Shang also lowered his voice: "What a bad idea! I originally planned to visit Louyao by myself, and then I left after reading it. I don't know what it is, God knows it will happen like this?!"

"Which plan did you make for yourself over the years?"

"Third brother, let's count your bad hexagrams!"

After biting his ears, Shaoshang still had to get out of the car to meet people.

Six years passed in a flash, and the young son of Lou has grown in size now, and he is as tall as Huo Budo, probably to show the majesty of the county magistrate, and also has two light beards. Shao Shang was full of worries, but when he saw the beard, he laughed: "What kind of beard is a good beard, Pingbai is several years old."

Lou Yao was a little uncomfortable at first, but when he heard this familiar joke, the carefree young man's past was like yesterday, and he also smiled: "I wanted to grow a beard at the beginning, but you said Ugly. Didn't you say in your letter that you won't come until next month? Why did you come earlier?"

Shao Shang smiled and said: "I will come whenever I like, don't you open the city gate? Hurry up and serve the good wine and good food. If you neglect the distinguished guests, I will give them to you. Take all the gold objects your child beats!"

Lou Yao's good-natured as always: "With or without gold, I have not seen each other for many years. I have to treat you well, as long as you make fun of my beard."

Shangshang wanted to speak again, and Huo Budo, who was behind him, coughed lightly, and she quickly said, "Give the beard to show the majesty of a man, and be a little skillful. Look at Mr. Huo, he is standing at a young age. Well, who would dare to underestimate him without a long beard?!"

Her original intention was to beat the horse, but in Huo Buxuan's ears, she thought he was older. His face sank at the moment, his eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "Mrs. He has not seen you for a long time. Not long ago, His Majesty was still thinking about the construction of the Hall of Meritorious Men, and the first wave will welcome your honorable priest."

It is said that people in the capital hand out rewards to their hometown every year, and only after the younger brother and the crown can receive an official title.”

Huo Budoubt said, "Madam is good in Yao County."

He Zhaojun glanced at her husband: "I can't tell if it's good or not, it's just an ordinary life. Fortunately, the prefect at the head has an old relationship with my father, and he takes care of him on weekdays. Even if the husband is not majestic, he will not As for being unstoppable."

Shao Shang saw Lou Yao sighing softly and thought, He Zhaojun is still the same.

Ding's accumulation of food and wealth is one of the best in Yuzhou, and he is often praised by Liangzhou Mu!"

Shao Shang's eyes lit up: "Are you working on water conservancy?"

Lou Yao smiled and said, "How many of the drawings you drew can actually be used."

Adversity, but not discouraged. Parents in any place, benefiting people in the same place, with such a generous heart, I am not as good as you."

Lou Yao has not heard people praise him for being so sincere and moving for many years. He can't help showing his habit as a teenager, scratching his head shyly: "Young businessman, with your words, I have been..."

Just as he was about to go on, Huo Budo coughed heavily, his face covered with frost, as if he had just returned from a trip to the icy world.

Lou Yao and Shaoshang were very eager to survive and shut up.

There was a reception banquet in the county government office that night, Huo Buxuan sat on the head, the Cheng brothers and sisters and Lou He and his wife sat in pairs, plus a Lou Han to accompany the last seat.

Shao Shang calmed down and asked the maids to carry out a box containing a gift she had prepared for a long time. She smiled at Lou He and his wife: "I haven't seen each other for many years. Seeing that the virtuous couple is still the same, I feel very relieved. It's better to let the children come out to see them, so that I can express my feelings."

She felt that the words were very stylish, but He Zhaojun sneered again: "I dare not be a concubine, I am incompetent, although I have been married to my husband for many years, but she is pregnant until now."

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Cheng Shaogong, who grew up under Mrs. Xiao's hands, was used to the pattern of 'something goes wrong, and the fault must be my own father'. The first reaction was that Lou Yao 'does things 'It's not too hard; Shaoshang thought with trepidation, could it be that their husband and wife have always been discordant all these years? Only Huo Buzhuo changed his mind and his expression gradually eased.

Shao Shang changed the topic and said, "Ah, are you visiting Yao County, where is your husband?" At this time, the married and unmarried women did not have a clear hairstyle and wear The difference is that Lou Zhang is one year younger than herself, and she is almost twenty this year, so she guessed that Lou Zhang was visiting her cousin's house with her husband.

Since they met, she has always looked like someone else owes her money and hasn't paid it back, except for a few loving and grudged glances at Huo Budo. At this moment, she said angrily: "My parents passed away before and after, I have been filial piety so far, and I haven't said that I have a marriage!"

Young businessman sighed: "Lou Tai...cough, has the honorable hall passed away?"

Lou Yao whispered: "Six years ago, the eldest aunt was killed by her uncle... After she returned to her parents' home, she was attacked and killed by a thief during a day trip. More than two years ago, my uncle also died of depression."

Shao Shang was dumbfounded, and Shao Gong leaned over and whispered, "Can you speak tonight? Which pot can't be opened and raised."

"Let's get down to business..." Shao Shang didn't dare to 'reminisce', he pushed his brother away, forced a smile and asked for words, "Lou County magistrate, I have met a group of people these days. …”

He Zhaojun suddenly sighed and pressed his abdomen, showing pain on his face, Lou Yao turned his head and saw his wife's skirt was wet, and immediately said loudly: "The lady is about to give birth, come quickly. !"

He slapped his wife and hugged his wife, and walked to the back hall like the wind, not even saying hello to the guests, and then the servants inside and outside the hall took action, walking or running, messing around In a group, Cheng Shaogong saw the opportunity and slipped away.

Shao Shang stood there dumbfounded: "I... said something wrong again." But she didn't say anything.

Huo Budo walked slowly to her side, smiled and said, "You are right. You forget about their couple, we might as well go and have a look."

Shao Shang was a little horrified: "You, why are you so good-natured..." Just now, your face seemed to freeze.

Huo Budo smiled and dragged her to follow the direction of the servant's running.

In order to welcome the distinguished guests, the long corridor was covered with red lanterns, and the faces of the people were red.

Shao Shang had just drank a few glasses of wine. At this time, the taste of the wine was on the rise, and his body was soft against Huo Buzhu's arm, Mu Mu said: "You don't want to be cold and hot, I A little flustered."

Huo Budo whispered: "You will be flustered, I don't believe it. There is no one in the world who can annoy me more than you."

"Really." Shaoshang pulled his sleeve, "If you are happy, I will be relieved. If you are cold, I will be upset."

Huo Budou laughed softly: "I thought you were playing tricks on me before, a few words made me half angry, and a few more words coaxed me back. You watched me for a while. Annoyed, overjoyed for a while, secretly happy."

"...Ah, how could that be."

"I used to be angry that I was controlled by you, but after five years at the border, I realized that I would rather make you angry and coax you than be alone."

Huo Budo lowered his head and found that the girl was looking up at him in a daze, asking what was wrong.

Shao Shang shook his head: "I have been alone since I was a child. I thought that when I came into this world, I was all alone, even if I was accompanied occasionally, it would not last long. It's like passing by a place. The scenery, after watching the scenery, you have to move on."

Huo Budo silently touched her hair for a while, and said, "You are wrong."

"I know." Shaoshang said sullenly, "I feel like a dark deep hole. Except for me, the surroundings are brightly lit. Only me, it is always dark."

She raised her head with a bright face, "Later you came, holding a flaming torch and lighting up the cave. I know this is a great blessing, but I don't know how response."

Huo Budo felt sour for a while, he knew what this meant, just like a child who was used to being frozen, suddenly warm but didn't know what to do. He hugged the girl's soft waist tightly, put his forehead on the top of her head, and said in a low voice, "I hurt you a lot and made you suffer a lot, but I can't let you go, I just hope that the years to come. Suishui, treat you well."

Shao Shang couldn't hold his forehead, smirked and buried his head in his arms: "Listen, there is a mess over there, He Zhaojun is having a serious attack, you I'm here to take care of myself, isn't it too unkind."

Huo Budo sighed suddenly: "Now, in addition to wishing for Yuan Shen's success in Kangtai, I also began to wish for He Zhaojun to give birth safely and grow old with Lou Yao. In this way, I am really worried about gains and losses. old."

Shao Shang said: "You beat me openly and secretly, when I don't know, just now I said that you are young, you are not happy. Oh, don't worry, except for you, my whole life Never looked back." Whether it was her parents or her childhood, the fate has passed, and she never thought of saving anything.

The two talked as they walked, and after a while, they walked to the backyard of the county government office. The servants and maids came in and out. Lou Yao walked around the courtyard restlessly, only to grind the blue bricks. Smoke out.

Huo Budo tilted his head and whispered: "You asked me just now why I was so good-natured—first, you don't know the current situation of Lou Zhang, the life and death of Lou Jing and his wife, and even He Zhaojun was not born. I don't even know, it shows that you have no connection with Lou Yao all these years."

Shao Shang sighed: "Gua Tian Li Xia, I have only communicated with He Zhaojun over the years, and never asked about their private affairs. This time, I also thought that things would change and everyone could calm down. come."

Huo Budo did not comment on her plan, and continued: "Second, with He Zhaojun's temperament, if Lou Yao treated her coldly, she would have shouted it out, but she only said I am incompetent, so it can be seen that Lou Yaosu Ri and her are still in harmony."

"That's right, although the two of them didn't talk to each other just now, but Lou Yao remembered to put an extra layer of soft velvet on He Zhaojun's seat, and He Zhaojun reminded Lou Yao to put a bowl of soup before drinking. ." Shaoshang remembered.

Huo Budo said angrily: "It's good that you know!"

The two sat and waited on the edge of the courtyard, constantly comforting Lou Yao, and Shao Shang even contributed the old doctor accompanying his motorcade and asked him to deliver He Zhaojun's birth. After another half an hour, there were constant screams from the delivery room, Shao Shang was okay, but Huo Budo's expression became more and more solemn.

The old doctor walked out of the delivery room, Lou Yao rushed forward to ask about the situation, the old doctor said: "Everything is fine, Mrs. Zun is young and strong, and the fetal position is correct, I think I will be able to give birth soon. ."

At this time, a maid came out in a panic, and knelt down at the Louyao: "Report to the lord, the lady wants to see Mrs. Cheng!"

"Ah, why do you want to see me?" Shaoshang was puzzled.

The maid said anxiously: "The lady said that she can't do it anymore, and she has something to entrust to Miss Cheng at the end of her life!"

"But the doctor said that everything is fine with Zhaojun!" Lou Yao's anxious voice changed.

The old doctor smiled wryly: "It's always been like this for women to give birth. I thought it was okay, but she thought it was impossible."

Huo Budoubt said with a calm face: "Young businessman, don't go in, it won't cause trouble." - End-of-life entrustment? What to entrust, when he can't guess such an old-fashioned story!

Now, it's a little boy!"

Lou Yao was overjoyed, dancing and shouting to reward everyone.

Shao Shang was sluggish: "...Uh, do I still want to go in?"

Huo Budo took her away in anger.

The author has something to say: 1. This chapter was supposed to come out in the afternoon, but I was pulled to watch a movie.

2. Regarding having children, in fact, we should not use modern concepts to guess the ancient times. According to the research of scientists, the structure of human body has been continuously evolving for hundreds of years.

Scientists have figured out that Western warriors in the Crusades era could wear hundreds of pounds of armor, hold spears that weighed dozens of pounds, and wield broad swords that weighed hundreds of pounds. Lined with cotton robes, they marched for hundreds of miles every day under the scorching sun and desert in the Middle East, and they had to fight violently after the march.

How many Westerners can do it now? But it was common at the time.

Anyone who knows how to do it knows that even those who exercise regularly, those muscles that can be exercised, but the muscles that are really developed under the needs of the environment are different.

Have you ever seen "Many Years Missed" starring Huang Xiaoming, there is a still in it, Huang Xiaoming is holding Yin Tao naked in the mine, revealing large flat muscles. At that time, many people said that the muscles of miners who have worked for many years are not like this. The muscle mass is not so large, but the muscle bundles are denser and tighter.

Women do the same.

I don't think modern women's bodies have the same tolerance as ancient women's bodies. What's more, there is clear evidence that over the past few hundred years, due to the development of brain power and the expansion of brain capacity, the baby's head has been continuously enlarged, which has brought great pain to women's childbirth.

The number of women who died of childbirth in ancient times was quite large, but it was not exaggerated to the point of death; generally speaking, the rate of women dying from childbirth was no higher than that of men who died of corvée and war .
