Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 233

Ximenqing heard this, and said to Huangfuduan indifferently: "Hahaha~ Brother Huangfu, this is a trivial matter, brother Huangfu, but please let it go. To tell you the truth, brother, this Yanggu County except Dulonggang in the south and Dulonggang in the north Most of the rest of the land in Jingyanggang is in the hands of my younger brother. Just ride a horse to see it, and if you like any land, my younger brother will change it to a pasture for my elder brother."

After hearing Ximen Qing's words, Huangfu Duan secretly clicked his tongue in admiration.The wealth of this official Ximen Qing surpassed Huangfu Duan's expectations, and his boldness is hard to catch up with ordinary people!With such a high-ranking official, is it a problem to eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day?

When Ximen Qing said these bold words to Huangfu Duan, he was also very proud.Hehehe~ This is the benefit of being rich!Most of the land in Yanggu County has been taken by my Ximenqing officials. Even Shouzhang, Dong’e, Pingyin and other places in neighboring counties have been bought by our Ximen officials for the resettlement of Cangzhou. disaster victims.To be a local tyrant is to annex a lot of land!How much land Huangfuduan occupies in Yanggu County to graze horses, my senior officials can reclaim the same area of ​​arable land in neighboring counties, and it will not delay the harvest of grain in Ximenbao.

Besides, didn't this just come back from the Lijiazhuang in Dulonggang, which has robbed grain for several years?Now the warehouses are full, and there is absolutely no worry about food shortages.Why!Being a local tyrant means being so casual!

Ximenqing and Huangfuduan discussed in detail again, Ximenqing asked for money and land, Huangfuduan was also moved by it, and immediately swore to Ximenqing that he would live up to his trust and support him Many excellent war horses came out.

The two talked very speculatively, and they didn't give up until they talked about the bright moon.Since then, "Purple-bearded Uncle" Huang Fuduan has joined Ximen Qing's camp, taking charge of various horse affairs for Ximen Fort, and also solving Ximen Qing's cavalry expansion plan.

Immediately after "Purple Bearded Uncle" Huangfu Duan took office, he led people to investigate around Yanggu County, and within two days he delineated thousands of hectares of beach land beside the old course of the Yellow River for horse grazing.

Ximenqing arranged for the old housekeeper Ximenfu to accompany Huangfuduan to preside over the construction on the newly designated pasture.Stables, arbors, water wells, fodder warehouses, barracks and other facilities were quickly built according to Huangfuduan's instructions.

Afterwards, Ximenqing asked Shi Yong to lead his troops to station on the new ranch, practicing martial arts while taking care of the safety of the ranch.

Nowadays, there are many thieves in the world, not only the big gang like Liang Shanbo, but also horse thieves like "Golden Retriever" Duan Jingzhu.Ximen Qing didn't want his hard-earned horse to be robbed or stolen, so he asked Shi Yong to lead the troops to guard the ranch.

Now that we have Huangfu Duan, a rare talent, and our own exclusive ranch, when Sanniang comes back, he will definitely give her a surprise!

Chapter 353 Ximen celebrates the addition of a child

More than ten days after Shi Wengong left, the three ladies Hu Sanniang, Liu Xiuxiang, and Li Jiaojiao ushered in the day of giving birth one after another, and the whole Ximen Fort was busy.

Ximen Zhong invited the best Lang Zhong and Wen Po from the county seat for the officials, and stayed in the Ximen Fort to take good care of the three ladies.

Ximen Qing had never had such an experience before, and he was anxiously poking his head outside the gate of the inner courtyard.At this moment, his sister Ximen Xin has already secured the inner courtyard, preventing him, who can't help him, from entering the inner courtyard.

Luan Tingyu hugged his son and stood outside the door to wait with Ximen Qing. He teased the baby in his arms for a while, and said a few words with Ximen Qing, so that he should not be anxious, saying that he was also like this at the beginning. Uneasy, now that I think about it, it's a matter of course, how can it be so earth-shattering?

Ximen Qing rolled his eyes, and he had no intention of meeting Luan Tingyu.This guy is holding his son in his arms now, of course he said it so easily.I heard that before his son was born, he was so worried that he didn't sleep for two days!

Jiao Ting, Jiang Zhong, Lu Xiaoyi, Shi Yong, Hong Zhen, Tang Long and others rushed back to Ximen Fort one after another, and waited outside the door with brother Ximen Qing.Everyone came to persuade Ximen Qing to be safe and not to be impatient, but instead they quarreled with Ximen Xin who was in the courtyard.Ximen Xin walked to the door and coaxed the group of brothers who joined in the fun away.

Seeing that they couldn't stay in the inner courtyard, the brothers Jiao Ting and Jiang Zhong immediately made an appointment to go back to the front hall to have a drink, and even dragged Ximen Qing along the way.Naturally, Ximen Qing scolded everyone with a smile and told them to leave on their own.Seeing that Ximen Qing was unmoved, these brothers changed their target and pulled Luan Tingyu away.

Ximen Qing stood alone at the door and wandered, listening to the movement in the inner courtyard with his ears up.After an unknown amount of time, Ximen Qing was startled when he suddenly heard a "wow~~" from the yard, and was overjoyed in an instant.Hearing this cry, a boy must have been born!

Ximen Qing turned around and looked inside the door, but bumped into the door frame when he didn't want to, and was knocked down and fell to the ground.It turned out that when Ximen Qing was pacing in front of the door, he had already walked outside the door frame, but he didn't realize it.

Seeing the appearance of the official Ximen Qing, the maid guarding the door held back her laughter, and hurried forward to help Ximen Qing.Ximen Qing jumped up with a leap, stepped into the courtyard, and asked anxiously, "But a boy was born?"

"Brother! Congratulations, Sanniang added a boy to our Ximen family! That fat boy is really strong!" Ximen Xin came out of the house with a smile, and said to Ximen Qing.

It really is a boy!Wahaha~ I, Ximen Qing, have a son!I, Ximen Qing, even have a son!Ximen Qing danced and danced in the yard, his heart was full of joy.

As expected of a martial arts practitioner, Hu Sanniang is much stronger than Liu Xiuxiang and Li Jiaojiao, and soon gave birth to a fat and chubby son.

After a while, Mrs. Wen washed the son born by Hu Sanniang, wrapped it in swaddling clothes, and asked Hu Sanniang's personal maid to take the child out, and showed the anxiously waiting Ximen Qing a few times.

The child was born with a thick head and a thick head, and a pair of black eyes could already roll around and look at people.After seeing his father Ximen Qing, the child was crying loudly, announcing his birth to the world.

Ximen Qingxi was in a hurry, and he didn't know whether to hug or touch first.However, before he had seen enough, the maid had already carried the child back to Hu Sanniang's room under Ximen Xin's order, and let the child nurse.

Ximen Qing also wanted to go in, but was stopped by his younger sister Ximen Xin again, and was expelled tragically, retreating outside the gate of the inner courtyard.

snort!My girl is really hateful, why is she pretending to be mysterious there?Isn't it Sanniang who wants to feed my Dalang?Why can't this high official come in and see it?snort!It's not like I haven't seen it, but I ate it a few days ago...

Perhaps it was due to the similar pregnancy periods of the women and their influence on each other. The three people who were not conceived on the same day actually gave birth to the child on the same day.Both Hu Sanniang and Liu Xiuxiang gave birth to a boy, Li Jiaojiao gave birth to a daughter, and Ximenqing had a three-year wedding on the same day.

After seeing the three ladies and children, Ximen Qing couldn't help in the backyard, so he handed everything over to his younger sister Ximen Xin, and went to find Luan Tingyu and the others for a drink with a silly smile.

Luan Tingyu and the others have also heard that Ximen Qing has added two men and one woman, so they are waiting for Ximen Qing to come out and have a drink to celebrate!Brother-in-law Luan Tingyu is still relatively stable, Jiao Ting, Jiang Zhong and other pre-children brothers can't hide their envy and jealousy towards Ximen Qing, and they take turns drinking Ximen Qing's wine.If it wasn't for the fact that Ximenqing's drinking capacity was different from ordinary people, he might have been drunk by these brothers long ago.

After several rounds of drinking, a brother asked Ximen Qing if he had any plans for names for the children.

Ximen Qing used Jiu Jin to ask his brothers to advise him, Jiao Ting and Jiang Zhong are good fighters in fighting and killing, but it is difficult for them to help them name.The brothers looked at me and I looked at you. No one made a sound for a long time. In the end, it was Lu Xiaoyi who had a thick skin and opened his mouth to make a fool of himself: "Zuo Qinglong, You Baihu, why don't the two nephews be called Ximenlong, Ximenhu, there is no such mighty name in the world! And with the dragon and the tiger, the little niece can be called Ximenhuang. How about it, brother, these names I chose are really amazing, right?"

Ximenqing asked: "Brother Xiaoyi, if another woman in my family has a son, should he be named Ximenbiao?"

Lu Xiaoyi praised: "My brother chose a good name! This Ximen Biao, Ximenlong and Ximenhu are together, and they are brothers!"

Ximen Qing was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of wine, he said to Lu Xiaoyi: "Brother Xiaoyi, brother, I am here in Ximen Fort, not Dulonggang Zhujiazhuang!"

When Ximenqing finished his words, the brothers just realized that the three brothers in Zhujiazhuang in Dulonggang were the dragon, the tiger, and the biao?After Jiang Zhong, Jiao Ting and other brothers figured it out, they all touched Lu Xiaoyi with their fingers, beat their chest and stamped their feet with laughter, and broke several wine glasses.

Lu Xiaoyi blushed and muttered: "What are you laughing at? Anyway, I, Lu Xiaoyi, thought of a few names, but you can't think of any, so it's better than me! Besides, if the name I thought of is not good , then Zhu Laochao will give this name to his son? You wait but you have the ability, tell me some domineering names!"

Everyone laughed, but they didn't have any good ideas for a while, even Luan Tingyu, who had read some books, kept silent.

Ximen Qing thought that it would be easy for scholars like Xin Zan, Zhao Mingcheng, Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui to be here. They have read poetry and books, and it is no problem to choose a few good names for their children by citing scriptures.It would be really difficult for me to pick it myself, I, a high official from Ximen, have no talent for naming names!

Holding the wine glass, Ximen Qing walked to the gate, looking at the sky for inspiration, when he looked to the north, he suddenly had an idea and remembered an allusion.

Chapter 354 The Enlightenment of Yesugai

Now it's spring and when the big river is thawing, a few geese in the sky fly over Ximen Qing's head from south to north, reminding him of the vast and boundless prairie in the north.It also reminded Ximenqing of Temujin, a legendary figure who was born on the grassland decades later.

About 40 years later, Yesugei, the leader of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe, gave birth to a son. He happened to defeat the enemy Tatar tribe and captured the leader of the Tatar tribe, Temujin Uge.In order to celebrate the victory on the battlefield, Yesugei named his son Temujin.

This Temujin is Genghis Khan who will shock the world in the future.

Ximen Qing secretly thought that he would name his children after the defeated or killed enemy leaders. The Mongols should be so arrogant!However, this method is really good, and it can be used for reference.

Ximenqing decided to name his children after the Liangshan heroes he had killed to commemorate his great achievements.

Didn't Lin Chong capture Sanniang alive in history, so he named Sanniang's eldest son Ximenchong after this fellow, hehehe~

Mrs. Xiuxiang is from Qingzhou, and the second child should be named Ximen Rong. First use the name of Tiangang Huarong, and Zhou Tong, a small character in Taohuashan, will go to the back row.

Mrs. Jiaojiao gave birth to a girl, so she had to choose a good one among the deadly Tiangang stars.Yes, the name of Shi Xiu killed by Zhujiazhuang can be used for girls this time, so I named my eldest daughter Ximenxiu.

Let's leave the name of Wu Song's fellow to Pan Jinlian for the time being. After she gives birth to a son for the high official, I will name him Ximensong!

Wow, haha~ Looking at the children under my knees every day, and calling their names, I feel an indescribable joy in my heart!

Now that the Liangshan group of thieves gave heads and names, the officials of Ximen Qing no longer bothered about naming.I have already killed dozens of Liangshan bandit leaders, and it is enough to have a litter of children!

Ximen Qing proudly announced the three names "Ximen Chong", "Ximen Rong" and "Ximen Xiu" to everyone.All the brothers headed by Luan Tingyu praised him together, and took the opportunity to drink Ximen Qing a lot.

Even Ximen Qingruhai's drinking capacity was so drunk by his brothers.

Traveling to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, killing powerful enemies and marrying beautiful wives, in just two years, Ximen Qing had many wives and concubines, and became a father for the first time.How can such a wonderful day not make people intoxicated?

……

After having two sons and one daughter, Ximenqing sent people to Hujiazhuang and Taohuazhuang to announce the good news to the two grandparents, and at the same time began to prepare for the full moon banquet for the three children.
