Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion, Hengwu Garden
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and gently put it around Baochai's shoulder. Under his sword-like brows, a hint of thoughtful thought appeared in his cold and calm eyes.
Baochai's face, which was as white as a pear blossom and as pure as a feather, was flushed with two rose-red blushes. She said softly, "Brother Heng, our child hasn't been named yet."
Jia Heng looked thoughtful and said softly, "Then let me think about it."
As she spoke, she turned her eyes to Baochai who was standing beside her and said softly, "Sister Xue, why not call him Jia Zhuo? I hope this child can grow up healthily in the future."
Xue Baochai said softly and charmingly, "Hmm," and whispered, "Jia Zhuo, the word Zhuo has a good imagery."
Jia Heng gently put his arm around the beautiful lady's shoulders, a hint of surprise appeared on his resolute and calm face, and he said, "Then your nickname will be Zhuangzhuang from now on."
Xue Zhuangzhuang...
Xue Baochai's moist almond eyes seemed to contain a hint of thought under her emerald eyebrows. She whispered, "It's fine to call him Zhuangzhuang, too."
Jia Heng's eyes flickered under his sword-like eyebrows, and he looked at Baochai intently, saying, "Okay, you should take good care of the pregnancy during this period and try to raise the child well. We can talk about the rest later."
Baochai responded softly and said nothing more.
Jia Heng hugged Baochai for a while, then looked at Baochai, who looked a little sleepy, and felt pity for her. He said, "Sister Xue, you should have a good rest first. I will come to see you later."
Baochai said "hmm", and then, when she raised her eyes, she looked at the young man in the python robe with a reluctant gaze.
Immediately, Jia Heng said nothing more and turned to leave Hengwu Garden.
Jia Heng thought about it and decided to go see Sister Feng.
Fengjie is also approaching the due date of her baby, which is estimated to be within half a month or a month.
Ningguo Mansion, the house where Ping'er lived——
Sister Feng was wearing a pomegranate red dress, her hair was in an exquisite bun, and she was very pretty. A silver hairpin was pinned between her lush black hair. Her face, as white as jade, seemed to be covered with a layer of blush.
She stretched out her slender hands and gently stroked her bulging belly, and her snow-white face showed a sweet expression.
At this moment, Ping Erh walked quickly to the front, looked at Feng Jie, and said softly, "Second Madam, the prince is here."
After a while, the young man in the python robe came out from outside, looked at Sister Feng, and whispered, "Sister Feng, you are pregnant now."
Under Sister Feng's emerald eyebrows, her narrow, clear eyes were filled with surprise, and she said, "You're here?"
I usually forget about this enemy, but this time I finally let her go.
"Come and see you." Jia Heng said in a low voice with a gentle smile on his face.
Sister Feng said softly, "I just heard from Ping'er that Sister Xue and Sister Lin have given birth to their children."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "She has given birth to a child, a boy and a girl, both mother and child are safe."
Sister Feng nodded and said softly, "It's really a double happiness."
As he spoke, he gently stroked his bulging belly.
I don’t know what kind of child she will have in the future.
Under Sister Feng's drooping eyebrows, her charming and flowing phoenix eyes seemed to be glittering with a clear and bright light. She said, "I'm afraid that in another month or two, I will give birth."
Jia Heng said: "I calculated the due date, it should be about the same."
Sister Feng had beautiful eyes shining like water under her slender eyebrows. She said, "I haven't done anything in the past year. I just lay there. I hope you can have a baby soon."
Jia Heng said softly, took Sister Feng's slender hand, looked at Sister Feng intently, and whispered, "Let me hear what the child is doing."
Sister Feng hummed, and the sides of her snow-white face turned red as clouds. She lowered her eyes and looked at Jia Heng, with a surge of sweetness in her heart.
Ping'er was watching this scene not far away, and she was happy for Fengjie.
My grandmother has been strong-willed all her life, and finally she found someone who could subdue her.
While Jia Heng was talking to Feng Jie, a maid entered the room and whispered, "Your Highness, a lieutenant from the Jinyifu said he has something to report."
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Sister Feng and said, "I'll go take a look."
Although Feng Jie was a little reluctant, she pretended to be magnanimous and said with a smile: "Official business is more important, so you go."
Jia Heng hummed softly, without saying anything else, he stood up and left the wing room and came to the front hall. At this moment, a captain of the Jinyi Guards from the Jinyi Mansion was sitting on a pear wood chair next to the small table.
The captain of the royal guard stood up, raised his eyes and looked straight at Jia Heng, and said with a bow, "I greet the prince."
Jia Heng said, "Captain Xu, please stand up. What do you want to report?"
The captain surnamed Xu looked stern, stared at the young man in the python robe, and said, "Your Majesty, Xining has sent a pigeon message saying that a spy from the Junggar tribe has appeared in Xining City."
Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Is there any unusual movement in Junggar?"
Captain Xu said, "Reporting to the prince, the Junggar tribe is contacting the Yarkand Khanate to establish an alliance, seemingly preparing for a future war."
Jia Heng's clear eyes flickered under his thick eyebrows, and he said in a cold voice: "It's true that the bandits are determined to invade us."
According to his plan, he would have to wait another two or three years before launching an expedition to the Western Regions, because the Han Dynasty had consumed a lot of national funds in the series of wars during the Chongping period, and the soldiers were already tired of war.
As Jia Heng spoke, he looked intently at the captain surnamed Xu from under his thick eyebrows and said, "Captain Xu, go back and inform the Imperial Guards and have them monitor the Western Regions carefully to ensure that there are no mistakes."
Captain Xu bowed in response, then turned around and left.
Jia Heng stood there, thinking for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh quietly.
After thinking about it, I decided to go and meet Xiaoxiao.
……
……
In the backyard, in the courtyard——
Chen Xiao was lying on a bed covered with a soft mattress at this moment. He reached out and gently stroked his bulging belly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his white and jade-like face.
Chen Xiao looked at the handsome young man in python robes coming in from outside. His cold and sparkling eyes flickered under his sword-like eyebrows, and he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Jia Heng said: "According to the reports from the scouts, there have been frequent unusual movements in the Junggar region. Galdan is indeed very ambitious."
Chen Xiao's expression paused slightly, and under his emerald eyebrows, he stared at the young man in the python robe and whispered, "Galdan, this person... deserves your attention."
Jia Heng said: "This man is even more ambitious than Baturhui. He was defeated by the Han people several times and has long held a grudge against me."
Chen Xiao took a look at the young man in the python costume and said, "Are you going to send troops to attack? To prevent trouble before it happens?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Wait a little longer. The country has just been stabilized, so it is not appropriate to start a war for the time being."
After saying that, he turned to look at Gu Ruoqing beside him and whispered, "How have you and Ruoqing been these days? It won't be long before you give birth."
At the beginning, people like Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing became pregnant at about the same time as Baochai and Daiyu.
At this moment, Gu Ruoqing also turned to look at the young man in the python robe. Under her emerald eyebrows, her charming eyes were as bright as water. She said, "I calculated the date. The baby should be born at the end of this month."
Jia Heng came forward, slowly sat down, picked up the teacup on the small table beside him, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and looked somewhat relaxed.
Jia Heng sat with Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing for a while, thought about it, and decided to go to the Imperial College to check on Xu Guangqi's condition.
Shenjing City, Imperial College——
At this moment, Xu Guangqi was chatting with his disciple Chen Long, and several disciples around him were watching a scientific experiment.
Last year, the batch of candidates who took the engineering and science exams of the Ming Dynasty had already entered the Imperial Academy to study. After passing the initial period of curiosity, they began to explore engineering.
At this moment, a voice came from outside, saying, "Teacher, King Wei is here."
Xu Guangqi stood up and walked to the outer room, surrounded by his disciples. He saw the handsome and upright young man in the python robe, surrounded by a group of Jinyifu guards, approaching him.
Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "This humble official greets the Prince of Wei."
Now that I am in the officialdom, the hierarchy and rules cannot be violated at all.
Jia Heng smiled warmly, extended his hand to support him, and said, "Mr. Xu, please stand up quickly."
Xu Guangqi asked, "I wonder what instructions the Prince of Wei has for coming to the Imperial Academy?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "I was just passing by and wanted to take a look at the new weapons developed by the Academy of Sciences."
As he said this, he looked at the students beside him, with a friendly smile on his face, and said, "No need to be polite, everyone."
The students around responded one after another.
Xu Guangqi bowed and invited him, saying, "Your Highness, this is not a place for conversation. Please go inside and talk."
"Let's talk inside." Jia Heng nodded, and then followed Xu Guangqi to the inner room. After that, the host and the guest sat down and asked, "Mr. Xu, how is the development of new studies recently? Is there any progress in steam engines?"
The steam engine is a systematic project and cannot be developed in a short time. At that time, Jia Heng even told Xu Guangqi that it would not be too late as long as it was developed within five years.
Xu Guangqi raised his thick eyebrows, looked at Jia Heng with a twinkling look in his eyes, and said, "Your Highness, a large number of students in the Imperial College have transferred to new schools. As for the steam engine, we are still thinking hard about the steam-driven transmission shaft."
Jia Heng said in a gentle voice: "This matter is not urgent. I will take a look in the next few days."
Although he did not quite understand the specific structure of the steam engine, he was able to use some knowledge from later generations to help Xu Guangqi come up with an idea and then develop the steam engine.
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes deep, and asked curiously: "How was the previous iron ship?"
A year has passed since the "Three Questions of Fengming". The iron ship that could float on the water has now come into the world, but it is difficult to drive without a steam engine.
Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "The relevant drawings have been designed and are being handed over to the Military Equipment Bureau to build a prototype ship."
Because there was no steam engine, we could only build a model. Of course, it was called a model, but it was made of about a hundred materials.
Jia Heng said: "First supervise the construction of some model ships, and then look at the others."
Xu Guangqi didn't say much else afterwards.
Jia Heng looked at Xu Guangqi and said, "Mr. Xu, come with me to the laboratory in the back."
The Academy of Sciences recently launched a number of scientific projects, not only in the field of physics, but also in other chemical fields, mainly in agronomy.
For example, how to make ammonia fertilizer, which happened to be the areas that Jia Heng had learned about in his previous life.
With the advent of ammonia fertilizer, the yield of fields can undoubtedly be increased.
Jia Heng didn't say much while he was talking, and followed Xu Guangqi to the backyard.
At this moment, under the eaves of the corridors with blue bricks and black tiles, there were teams of Jinyifu guards lined up on the left and right, with goose-feather knives on their waists, resolute faces and eyes as sharp as swords.
Jia Heng followed Xu Guangqi to the back house, where he could see some students busy with something.
Jia Heng sighed and said, "It's well-organized and has its own rules. Since Mr. Xu took charge of the Imperial College, the atmosphere in the college has changed, and students are eager to learn new knowledge."
Just last month, Jia Heng had asked the cabinet to draft an edict to promote Xu Guangqi to the position of Chief Academician of the Imperial College, while his title of Vice Minister of Works remained unchanged.
Xu Guangqi was silent for a moment, and then said, "I dare not take credit for this. This is also in accordance with what the prince said before, to adjust the curriculum in the prison."
Jia Heng said: "The Imperial College should be like a university, teaching everyone, enlightening wisdom, and cultivating both moral integrity and talent."
Xu Guangqi's expression changed slightly, and he pondered over the two words and said, "University?"
Jia Heng nodded and said firmly, "It is a university. The way of a university is to cultivate virtue. In the future, the Imperial College can command the universities in all provinces, and each province will be a university. The capital will also set up various universities to provide a place for candidates from all provinces who are interested in science and engineering to study in universities."
This is the top-level design, which is to reform the world's education system from top to bottom to better serve the strategy of building a country through science and education.
Xu Guangqi nodded, stared at the young man in the python robe, and whispered, "Prince Wei is right."
Jia Heng, on his side, didn't say much and just chatted with Xu Guangqi for a while. After that, everyone went to the hall to have dinner, and both the host and the guests were very happy.
……
……
As time passed, it was the golden October of the first year of Qiande, when the sweet osmanthus was fragrant.
This day was the day when Fengjie gave birth, and the corridors and side rooms outside the house where Ping'er lived were crowded with people.
Qin Keqing was standing on a pearwood chair in the hall, with Youshi, You Erjie and You Sanjie sitting on her two sides.
Qin Keqing turned to look at the maid Baozhu beside her and asked, "Baozhu, have you sent someone to invite the prince?"
Baozhu said quickly, "Princess, Ruizhu has gone over to invite you."
This maid who had married along with Qin Keqing was already in her early twenties. Normally, she should have left the house and married a boy, but because she still had some thoughts in her heart, she stayed with Qin Keqing.
At this moment, in the side room, Feng Ji had her lush hair loose and was covered with a thick quilt. The midwives and maids around her were holding basins of hot water and surrounding her.
"Second Madam Lian, try harder." At this moment, the midwife beside her encouraged.
Under Fengjie's dark blue curved eyebrows, a pair of crystal clear phoenix eyes were squinting, and the sides of her snow-white face were sweaty. At this moment, her slender hands grasped the sheets, and the knuckles were somewhat white.
The child in her belly is the one she has been waiting for for many years, so she must try her best to give birth to a boy.
Fengjie was almost shouting in her heart.
At this moment, Fengjie was clutching the sheets with both hands, giving birth to the baby with a hint of hoarseness in her voice.
At this moment, outside the wing room, the young man in python clothes was seen coming from the outside and passing through the moon gate. His figure was tall and straight, like a pine tree.
Qin Keqing went to meet him, her clear eyes showing a hint of joy, and she whispered, "Husband, you are here."
Jia Heng's cold and bright eyes flickered under his beautiful eyebrows, and he whispered, "I heard outside that Sister Feng was about to give birth, so I hurried over to see her."
Third Sister You also came forward, her beautiful face showing a hint of joy, and said, "My Lord, the baby has already been born."
Second Madam Lian is now pregnant, but there is no movement in her belly.
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes flickered, and he said gently, "Let the midwife and the maid be more careful."
After all, Fengjie has no experience in childbirth and is an older mother.
I don’t know whether Fengjie can give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, this time.
According to the Wife Card, the couple will have twins, a boy and a girl. In theory, having twins should not be a problem.
Qin Keqing's snow-white face smiled faintly as she looked at Jia Heng and asked, "My Lord, do you think Sister Feng gave birth to a boy or a girl?"
After a year, her stomach still didn't move, and she didn't know what was going on.
Jia Heng turned his eyes to Qin Keqing, smiled, and said softly, "I can't say for sure."
He could understand some of Keqing's anxieties, after all, he saw that all the women in the back house were pregnant, and some were even pregnant with boys.
Qin Keqing didn't say anything.
At this moment, the loud cry of a baby was suddenly heard from the spacious room. At this moment, it pierced through the heavy rain and calmed the anxious hearts outside.
Jia Heng said: "It seems that mother and child are safe."
In the side room, Fengjie had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stretch out her weak hand to ask the midwife, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
The midwife said, "Grandma, it's a daughter."
When Sister Feng heard this, she was shocked and asked quickly, "Girl?"
The midwife was about to say something when the midwife next to her said, "There is another one here."
Sister Feng: "..."
As soon as these words came out, Fengjie couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
The midwife was beside him, whispering, "Grandma, push harder."
When Fengjie heard this, she felt an indescribable strength surge in her heart. Without saying anything else, her hands, which were originally grasping the quilt, tightened a little.
After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by another loud cry, a baby boy was brought out by the midwife.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Although Fengjie's consciousness was a little fuzzy at the moment, she still asked.
"Grandma, it's a boy." The midwife paused and spoke.
Hearing this, Feng Jie was overjoyed. She moved her slightly pale lips and said, "Okay, Ping'er, give me a reward."
Outside the side room, Jia Heng and Qin Keqing felt a little relieved after hearing the loud cry.
At this moment, a maid came out and announced the good news: "Prince, Princess, it's a daughter of a wealthy family."
As soon as these words came out, Jia Heng's white and delicate face paused slightly, and under his sword-like eyebrows that slanted into his temples, a trace of thoughtfulness appeared in his clear and deep eyes, and he whispered: ""
Could this be the Qiaojie in the original novel? Well, perhaps there is some kind of power that can correct fate.
Third Sister You smiled and said, "From now on, Fu'er will have another sister."
Yu Shi looked strange at the side.
Just a moment later, bursts of crying were heard coming from the other room, so clear and penetrating that it shocked people.
Jia Heng was surprised, and felt strange in his heart.
Qin Keqing looked at Jia Heng standing aside. Her beautiful eyes were as bright as water under her slender and bright eyebrows. She stared at the young man in the python robe and whispered, "Could they be twins?"
If it is true that someone else's daughter-in-law is more suitable for giving birth to twins, then my own daughter-in-law will not get pregnant for three to five years.
Jia Heng looked strange for a moment, and whispered, "Wait a little longer."
He always had a vague premonition that the babies were most likely twins, a boy and a girl.
Sure enough, at this moment, a midwife pushed the door open and came out from outside, saying softly, "Prince, Princess, the second wife has given birth to another boy."
Qin Keqing, You Erjie, You Sanjie: "..."
So, Mrs. Feng gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
It's true that if she is someone else's daughter-in-law, she will easily give birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Thinking of this, Qin Keqing couldn't help but turn her charming eyes to look at Youshi who was standing beside her. She looked at Youshi so much that her cheeks turned red as clouds and she lowered her delicate head with long black hair like a waterfall.
Third Sister You came closer, took Mrs. You's delicate hand, and jokingly asked, "When will eldest sister give birth to twins, a boy and a girl?"
Yu Shi was ashamed and annoyed, and she scolded, "This... Third sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Qin Keqing's eyebrows were curved, and at this moment she looked bright and charming, like a crescent moon. Her cold and sparkling eyes flickered and she said, "Okay, stop fooling around."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the young man in the python robe and said, "Husband, please go in and see Sister Feng."
Jia Heng said, "I'll go in and take a look."
As he was talking, he entered the side room.
Qin Keqing looked at the young man in the python robe who "could not wait" to enter the room, and she couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
In the side room, the midwife was washing the amniotic fluid from the two babies.
But then the young man in python robe entered the room from outside.
