Chapter 105: Extra

When the air cooled down in autumn, Shen Yanbei went out again with Gu Changfeng, and Zhou Yu was also with him.
The border has settled down. There are no need for so many soldiers except for the garrison. The recruits recruited last spring followed Gu Changfeng back to Beijing and returned home after receiving the reward. Because Zhou Yu was good at killing the barbarian commander and was Gu Changfeng's apprentice, the emperor showed his grace and sent him into the Imperial Forest Army and became a fourth-class guard from the fifth rank.
The young man was full of enthusiasm and worked hard, and now he is out of his way. Shen Yanbei planned to let him go out to open the mansion by himself when he turned eighteen. A matchmaker has come to tell him about marriage. Zhou Yu said that he has no plans to get married for the time being, but not getting married now does not mean that we will not discuss marriage in the future. Since he intends to establish a foothold in the capital, he must have a place to stay, not the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion or Shen Mansion but his own home.
Zhou Yu had no objection to this, and even looked forward to it. He is already a man who can be on his own. He can't always rely on Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng. Ruth has to go by himself, the most important thing is! If you move out, you don’t have to look at Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng every day!
The three took a carriage to Qifeng Mountain to enjoy the scenery. Qifeng Mountain has a red maple forest with a radius of hundreds of miles. The maple leaves are as bright as fire, and they look like red waves rolling in the distance, and like a river of blood, which is very spectacular.
There is a temple named Feiyan Temple on Qifeng Mountain. It is said that the request for fortune is very effective. Every day, many people from Yongjing City go to pray for fortune and worship the Buddha, and the incense is flourishing.
The people in Shen Yanbei simply went on an autumn tour to enjoy the scenery and then went up the mountain to get a stick of incense, so they got off the carriage at the foot of the mountain and walked slowly up the mountain.
Gu Changfeng's belly is already big, and pedestrians passing by can clearly see his belly that can't be covered by a long shirt.
Unlike those fragile twins who have to be supported by someone when they are pregnant, the man is tall and straight, and his steps are vigorous. The bulging abdomen does not damage his authority.
If someone had been skeptical about Gu Changfeng’s pregnancy before, after seeing Gu Changfeng’s belly, they could no longer say ‘Is it possible to give birth to a child through the belly’?
There are many honors in the imperial city, and the infertile mistresses of the high-ranking families will wait for their concubines to take their children as their own births or keep them in their own names after giving birth. They think Gu Changfeng will do the same. But Gu Changfeng's straight belly slapped their faces.
Shen Yanbei looked at Gu Changfeng’s round belly and exhorted:
If you’re tired from walking, find a place to sit and rest for a while.
I don’t know if it’s because of the good nutrition. His wife’s belly is bigger than others. Because he was worried that the fetus would be too big to give birth, he made a special trip to the hospital and invited the sentence to come to his wife to see. As a result, this look shocked him and Gu Changfeng.
It's not that there is something wrong with his wife's body, but that he has two children in her belly! His wife is pregnant with twins!
He was surprised and happy. It's no wonder that his wife has changed so much since she was pregnant, and her baby moves so frequently, it's all caused by these two little bastards!
The soft-bodied twins were born in a ghost gate. His wife was in good health. He was not very worried at first, but after learning that he was pregnant with twins, his heart came up. The judge smiled and comforted him, saying that Lord Zhen Guo was in good health and the two children in his stomach were also healthy, so he should not worry. It is said that as long as you pay attention to your diet, keep a happy mood, and move around more often, it will be fine.
No way, he can only pay more attention to watching. And now the fetus is more than eight months old, thinking about walking around and playing more before the baby is born, when the maple leaves in Qifengshan are red as fire, he and his wife come to take a look.
Gu Changfeng nodded, raised his foot, and walked steadily on the bluestone road.
His skeleton was originally larger than the average twins, but now he was pregnant with twins and his chubby belly made him look a little cumbersome, but the steps under his feet were very easy.
In fact, apart from his big belly, he didn't gain weight anywhere else on his body, and his movements would not be very inconvenient.
...No, there is another place in his body that also gained weight.
When someone put his hand behind him and kneaded it last night, he said something like a grown-up, a more elastic and a better hand, and he was so embarrassed that he would directly plug someone's mouth!
Gu Changfeng had a fever in his ears, and he was ashamed to look at Shen Yanbei next to him.
Qifeng Mountain is not high, and it takes less than half an hour for the steps to reach the Feiyan Temple on the top of the mountain, but the three of them did not squeeze into the crowd, but walked towards the stream of the back mountain.
Today they came to enjoy the maple and also came here for a picnic. In the golden autumn season, the harvest season, if it were in Shenjiacun, this would be just right for picking fruits and hunting in the autumn. The three of them all missed the days when they went to Huaqiu Mountain to play in Shenjiacun, so they brought tools to have a picnic, but Su Qingze and Ming An were not there.
Gu Changfeng is a pregnant woman who can’t work, but the master is the master. He sits directly on the big rock by the stream and aims at the fish in the water. He throws the branch in his hand and splashes with a splash, and the fish is caught. Up!
Zhou Yu took a pheasant to dig out bird eggs, while Shen Yanbei gathered firewood and started cooking and boiling water. Seeing Gu Changfeng bending his trouser legs to get into the water, Shen Yanbei quickly stopped him: "There are stones in the water resting on your feet, don't go down!"
Gu Changfeng couldn't, so he had to sit there and watch him busy, occasionally helping him. The older the month, the tighter Shen Yanbei will look at him, but he will not feel uncomfortable because of being restrained. Just like now, Shen Yanbei didn't let him go into the water because he was afraid of slipping, but asked him to help grill the fish.
Within a safe range, Shen Yanbei will take care of his mood and let him do what he wants to do.
"When I was discussing matters in the Imperial Study Room yesterday, the emperor finally left me to ask you when you were born. I can see from his calm expression that he is jealous of me!"
Gu Changfeng was slightly surprised: "What happened to the emperor?"
"The king of Jinyang is dead, and the queen mother can't bear the blow. She can't afford to be ill. She actually asked the emperor to send someone to pick up King Jinyang's son to Beijing to raise her." Shen Yanbei really couldn't understand the Queen Mother's practice. "You too I know, that is not the kind of King Jinyang at all, and it is impossible for the emperor to let this child into the royal family tree."
In fact, based on Zhao Yu's character, if it were not for the child's blood relationship with the Su family, he might have asked the child to be dealt with directly, so that King Jinyang's line would be cut off.
"So the emperor rejected the queen mother on the ground that the baby was too noisy and the queen mother was too weak to take care of. Who expected the queen mother to be furious, pointing at the emperor and cursing, you don’t want me to take care of King Jinyang’s son, but you give birth to a son. I'll take care of it! Then I mentioned a certain daughter who has both beauty and delicacy, but for the queen, the emperor ordered the emperor to be the queen..."
Speaking of this, Shen Yanbei sympathized with Zhao Yu. Finally, the throne was firmly secured, the country's economy was booming, and the border was stabilized. She was planning to marry her beloved. As a result, Su Qingze's grandmother passed away to keep his filial piety.
"Did the emperor refuse?" Gu Changfeng asked urgently. Su Qingze can only come to Beijing next year to get rid of filial piety. If the emperor should do so, what will Su Qingze do?
"Of course I refused!" Shen Yanbei turned the fish over the other side and grilled it. "The queen mother became more ill in anger and scolded the emperor for being unfilial, and then summoned the married woman and twins of the noble family of Jingcheng to the palace. The emperor encounters many beauties every day, which is really unbearable."
Gu Changfeng frowned tightly, feeling a little worried. With an unreasonable mother-in-law like the queen mother, Su Qingze is afraid that she will be angry when she enters the palace in the future.
Knowing what he was thinking, Shen Yanbei stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and comforted: "The empress dowager’s actions have wiped out the emperor’s last love for her mother and son, and the emperor will not bear it forever. If the empress dowager is dissatisfied with Qingze as the queen, The emperor would not give her a chance to embarrass Qingze." The young man was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He was extremely sane. The emperor had made a mistake before. It is said that he forgave the emperor if he had troubles. If the emperor let him enter the palace, he could not protect him. With him, the emperor himself would die of shame.
At this time Zhou Yu came back with a pheasant, and Shen Yanbei made stone barbecue beggar chicken and vegetable soup for the two. The three of them ate the Manshan Hongye Meimei and then went up the mountain.
Donated some sesame oil money to show his heart, Shen Yanbei held the incense in both hands, lit the incense on the burning red candle, and then solemnly inserted it into the incense burner.
With his clothes set back, Shen Yanbei knelt on the futon with solemn expression, folded his hands together, and looked at Baoxiang's solemn Buddha with sincerity, chanting like those good men and women. After speaking, bow down piously.
Gu Changfeng has never seen Shen Yanbei like this. Young people have always flattered that it is better to ask for themselves, but now they are asking God to worship Buddha?
Shen Yanbei didn't believe in these illusory legends of ghosts and gods, but he can stand here now, and it was an incredible thing to use someone else's body to extend his life and harvest the other half of his life, so he came to thank him.
In the temple, the kind-eyed old monk read a Buddhist saying, saying: "The donor is a person with firm will, and he can do it with his heart."
Shen Yanbei smiled and said, "Thank you, Master, for your suggestion."
When descending the mountain, Gu Changfeng asked curiously: "What did you say in front of the Buddha?"
Shen Yanbei shook his hand and slowly descended the mountain: "Of course, I beg the Buddha to bless our family safe and sound."
The four words in the family made Gu Changfeng stunned. He looked down at his bulging stomach and said firmly and firmly: "The Buddha will hear it." Since the fetal movement, Shen Yanbei has to take time every night. Reading to his stomach, said it was prenatal education.
The youth would let him sit in a recliner, touch his stomach, and speak softly, sometimes reading poetry, sometimes telling stories, and occasionally telling some interesting things. Where is there anything delicious and fun? When you come out, I will take you to eat and play and so on.
The young man's voice was clear and gentle. He didn't know if the little guys in his stomach could hear it. He only knew that the voice fell in his ears like the heart was wrapped in warm water, and it was so comfortable that it was intoxicating.
When the northwest wind blows, Gu Changfeng will no longer go out. He has been pregnant for more than nine months and may give birth at any time.
Shen Yanbei was very nervous, and asked him every day if he felt uncomfortable, and asked him to send someone to look for him whenever something went wrong.
The midwives, delivery rooms, and nurses needed for delivery were all prepared, and Shen Yanbei also ordered the servants in the house to pay close attention to his situation. But it was almost past the due date, and the little guys in the stomach still didn't want to come out.
"Please listen to the residents inside. Your lease term has expired. I'm going to push people out if I don't come out again!" Shen Yanbei stared at the tall belly and gritted his teeth.
Gu Changfeng couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, let's go, you will be late if you don't go out."
Shen Yanbei gave him a vicious look before going out on duty.
However, not long after Shen Yanbei had arrived at the Hanlin Academy, and the chair hadn't been hot, some guards came to report that the servants of the town government had asked to see him.
Shen Yanbei was taken aback, could it be that his wife was about to give birth?
Sure enough, the sweaty and panting servant yelled eagerly as soon as he saw him: "Aunty, uncle! Duke, he is going to give birth!"
Shen Yanbei's eyes lit up and he was finally about to give birth!
