Chapter 486: Nepotism?
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him holding the child, Mrs. Ye quietly left to give the family of four some space. Then Shen Nan, Gu Yu and the others left and waited quietly outside, which made everyone in the yard very anxious.
Soon the sound of Shen Yu's quiet breathing could be heard in the room. Lu Yingxing came back to his senses and found that the two children were all asleep. His hands, which were holding his daughters, were already stiff, but he did not feel tired at all. It was as if an endless stream of power was surging into his heart.
He looked at his wife, then at his daughter, and only occasionally at his son. A sense of responsibility that he had never felt before arose spontaneously. This swelling feeling in his heart was indescribable, like holding one's breath, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say. It was indescribable but real and strong.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Wei's voice came from outside the door, "My nephew-in-law, are you okay? There are still a group of people waiting in line in the yard to see the child. My niece is waiting to see her and kiss her third uncle... Oh, I've told you so many times not to hit her head!"
Mr. Su's voice rang out, "If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here!"
Lu Yingxing stood up with his daughter in his arms and carefully placed her on the cradle beside the bed. After thinking for a while, he picked up his son again. When he turned around, he was suddenly stunned. The little guy was awake? And was he still looking at him?
The first meeting between father and son was unexpected. He chuckled and rocked the baby in his arms very naturally, "Little thing, grow up quickly, let's protect mother and sister together!"
Mrs. Ye called out softly, then pushed the door open with her daughter.
Ye Muan couldn't wait to see the babies. She rushed to the cradle first, and was so excited, but she tried not to make any sound. She looked at the two babies with shining eyes for a while before she asked Lu Yingxing quietly, "Have they got nicknames yet?"
"Well, my brother's name is Chenchen and my sister's name is Tiantian."
This was something he and his wife had discussed early in the morning. Hidden only knew that there would be two babies, so they had prepared names for the boy and girl. "My wife said that she hopes our son will be as warm as the morning light and be a sweet boy in the future. She also hopes our daughter will be as perfect as candy and be a sweet girl..." After saying this, he couldn't help but chuckle out loud. His wife always has a lot of weird ideas.
"Oh, you want to be a warm-hearted boy? Then Xiao Chenchen, you have to work hard. I am your Aunt An~~" After saying that, she placed two golden locks as big as an adult woman's fist next to the swaddling clothes, one on the left and one on the right.
Madam Ye patted her hand lightly and said unhappily, "What are you doing? You will hurt the child, don't you understand?"
Ye Muan felt wronged and had to stuff the gold lock to Lu Yingxing, "I don't care, I want to be the first person to give gifts to the children, I am their godmother!"
Lu Yingxing was in a good mood today. He smiled, nodded and said thank you.
Mrs. Ye also said with a smile, "Let's push the child out of the room. Doctor Shen and the others are still waiting to examine the child." Lu Mu, Su Wei, and Fu Yunxiu were also ready to take action. If they were not allowed to see the child, they would probably rush in.
Although he didn't want them to see his daughter, Lu Yingxing didn't stop them. "Okay! Then please take them out. I'll stay here with my wife."
Hearing him say this, Mrs. Ye felt even more satisfied and raised her requirements for her son-in-law a little more.
At this time, Lu Yingxing didn't know that he was creating a very new standard for a good man, which would make life difficult for all the men in Linyue Kingdom in the near future. However, everyone in Prince Zhuo's mansion naturally took him as an example, causing all the single men in the mansion to suddenly become popular. Of course, this is a story for later.
The news that Prince Zhuo's family had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, spread throughout the entire Linyue Kingdom at the speed of wind.
In the past, everyone had a bad impression of Zhuocheng, with external and internal troubles and a lot of troubles. Lu Yingxingkong had the title of the youngest royal duke, but in fact, all the big families knew who controlled Zhuocheng.
But after he returned to Zhuocheng, he swiftly eliminated the aristocratic families of the previous dynasty in just over half a year and vigorously developed the economy. Today's Zhuocheng is no longer the same as it was before, especially now that the position of Prince Zhuo's concubine is still vacant, and many people have become interested.
It's not that they deliberately ignored the contributions of Princess Zhuo, but they simply didn't believe that an abandoned girl from the Shen family would have the ability to assist Prince Zhuo. Those so-called businesses in cooperation with the princess were mostly the contributions that Prince Zhuo forced upon her.
After all, Zhuocheng is now enjoying prosperity.
In the North County of the main city, there is the 'Beidi Academy' opened by the Su family; in the West County, there are many workshops and the 'Five Cities Living Area'; not to mention the South County, which is the only exit to the new county "Snow County", and there are also new businesses such as the 'Employment Union', 'Beidi Auction House', 'Commercial Street', 'Health Center', etc., and even the "Snow County" is said to be preparing to build a site?
As for Dong County, located on the far left of Zhuo City, it is said that the wharf is already being expanded and is still operated jointly with the Jiangnan Cao Gang; the remaining Rong County and Lan County have always been the granaries of the north and remain the same. Ning County, located on the far right of Zhuo City, has not yet been developed...
But everyone believed that it was only a matter of time before Prince Zhuo took over these three counties.
Therefore, now is the most suitable time to surrender. After all, the princess has just given birth and is not suitable for serving the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber, and the other four counties of Zhuocheng have not yet been developed.
People who are interested have already discovered clues. Prince Zhuo pays particular attention to his wife's relatives. Don't the Su family, Princess Zhuo's maiden family, the Ye family, who is as close as her maiden family, the Lu family, the princess's master's family, the Mu family, who they recognize as their younger brothers, and even Gao Yong, all occupy very important positions in Zhuocheng?
Since Prince Zhuo is a nepotist, as long as their daughters marry into the prince's palace, wouldn't they also have the opportunity to become in-laws?
So on the second day after the baby was born, the gate of Prince Zhuo's mansion was crowded with people who came to congratulate him.
Lu Yingxing was in no mood to pay attention to them, so he threw all the troubles to Su Wei, who was clamoring to come see her daughter every hour. Fu Yunxiu, Ye Muan, and even Lu Mu were not spared.
As a result, a strange phenomenon occurred in Prince Zhuo's Mansion.
As long as you come to congratulate, someone will definitely receive you, but who receives you depends on luck. If you are lucky, you will meet Old Zhuo Wang or Doctor Shen in person, and if you are unlucky, you will meet a bunch of little kids...
It is said that someone talked with a kid named Shen Nieyang for half an hour in the hall of the palace: how to set up a stall in the palace to make money to support his father?
Gradually, everyone realized that King Zhuo was sending them away!
Then he started asking, when will the twins hold their full moon party? If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will be the mountain!
Su Wei, who was almost driven crazy, finally couldn't stand it anymore. On the day when Shen Yu was about to leave the moon, he rushed to them with murderous intent and said, "I quit!!"
Lu Yingxing quickly covered his daughter's ears and glared at him unhappily, "Shut up!"
Su Wei was so excited by him that he was unable to breathe, but he was immediately healed after seeing his little sweetheart. He smiled like a crazy fan, "Hey, little sweetheart, are you welcoming your dear third uncle?"
