Chapter 128 I have grandsons and granddaughters!
I saw the Zhao mother and daughter for the first time.
This directly shattered Wang Yan's guess about Zhao Feng's mother and sister, because this was not what she thought at all.
What Wang Yan was thinking.
My future mother-in-law should be an ordinary woman in the village, and the same goes for my sister-in-law.
But just a glance.
It overturned Wang Yan's original idea.
This kind of natural temperament cannot be deceived.
Especially women like Wang Yan who were born in the royal capital can feel it more easily.
My mother-in-law exudes the temperament of a lady from a wealthy family. Although she is dressed simply, she does not look like a country woman of this era at all.
The temperament exuded by her sister-in-law was elegant. Her appearance was no worse than hers, and she also had a transcendental air.
While Wang Yan was stunned.
"Who are you?"
Zhao looked at Wang Yan tentatively and asked.
She also wanted to confirm Wang Yan's identity, whether she was her daughter-in-law as Yan Bing said.
Wang Yan walked forward slowly.
She said gently and respectfully, "Auntie is Zhao Feng's mother?"
"Yes." Zhao nodded.
Got affirmation.
Wang Yan immediately bowed and performed a woman's greeting to Zhao.
"Wang Yan greets her aunt."
Wang Yan bowed and saluted.
Hear this.
Zhao's eyes lit up and her expression completely relaxed.
She turned her head and looked at Zhao Ying beside her. Their eyes met, and they seemed to have the same words in mind: "It's actually true."
But Zhao remained very calm. She immediately walked down and helped Wang Yan up.
"Get up quickly."
"Before, I only heard that Feng'er was engaged to the girl from the Wang family in Xianyang, and I thought it was fake. I didn't expect it to be true." Zhao said gently, supporting Wang Yan with her hand.
"Thank you, auntie." Wang Yan stood up.
"This must be Zhao Feng's sister."
"Zhao Ying."
Wang Yan looked at Zhao Ying again and called out softly.
"sister in law."
Zhao Ying came forward and called out very gently.
Hearing the word "sister-in-law", the smile on Wang Yan's face became even brighter.
"Ying'er."
"I brought some gifts for you and your aunt."
Wang Yan said with a smile.
Then he turned his head and looked at a guard: "Carry them all into the mansion."
"promise."
The guards responded immediately.
Then the guards carried boxes one by one and walked into the mansion.
It was at this time.
“Wow, wow, wow…”
There was the sound of a baby crying, followed by another.
The sudden crying sound made Zhao's mother and daughter look towards the carriage with confusion on their faces.
At this moment, they naturally could not imagine that Wang Yan had already given birth to a pair of children for her son.
In the carriage.
Two maids walked down slowly and came to Wang Yan: "Miss."
"The young master and young lady are awake."
Wang Yan smiled and then walked up.
"It's not my brother's, is it?"
Zhao Ying lowered her voice and said.
Zhao's eyes lit up and she looked at the two babies in the cradle with full anticipation.
"Aunt."
"These two children are Zhao Feng's."
"Almost three months."
"Your grandchildren."
Wang Yan called two maids forward and spoke softly.
Hear the sound.
Zhao's expression changed, with indescribable shock and joy.
“Feng…Feng’er’s?”
Zhao's voice began to tremble.
He couldn't help but walk forward and look at the two babies who were crying loudly.
"This...is this my grandson?" Zhao asked in disbelief.
"kindness."
Wang Yan nodded and smiled, "This is the eldest, the brother, and this is the sister."
"Twins, a boy and a girl."
"Okay, Feng'er is lucky."
“I have grandchildren.”
Zhao had a smile on her face at the moment, but when she looked at her grandchildren, she was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
"Give your aunt a hug." Wang Yan said immediately.
The maid holding the eldest brother immediately stepped forward and handed the eldest brother to Zhao.
After holding it in my hands.
Zhao immediately hugged her grandson tightly with both hands, appearing extremely cautious, fearing that her grandson would fall to the ground.
And Zhao Ying who was standing aside was also dazed at this moment.
"Am I an aunt?"
"No way?"
"My sister-in-law actually gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for my brother, just like me and my brother."
"Should I go over and give you a hug?"
"These are my nephews and nieces." Zhao Ying thought with great distress in her heart.
At this time, Wang Yan also noticed her, walked up to her, and said with a smile: "Ying'er, don't you want to hug your niece?"
"Can I...can I?" Zhao Ying pinched the corner of her clothes, feeling a little nervous.
"sure."
"Ying'er is their aunt." Wang Yan said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Zhao Ying called sister-in-law sincerely. With a sense of trepidation, she walked up slowly and picked up her niece from the maid's arms.
“It’s really small.”
“This is my niece.”
"marvelous."
Zhao Ying stared at her niece with a look of joy on her face.
"He looks like Feng'er when he was a child. They are simply carved from the same mold." Zhao said happily while holding her grandson.
"mother."
"Look at my niece, does she look like me?"
Zhao Ying came over holding her niece.
"You girl."
"My granddaughter will look like her mother when she grows up. How can she look like you?" Zhao laughed.
Now that she has a pair of granddaughters, Zhao is also very happy.
"snort."
Zhao Ying snorted proudly, then hugged her niece lovingly: "I didn't expect that I would have a niece. I will have someone to accompany me in the future."
"Meet Miss Wang."
At this time.
Yan Bing walked over and clasped his fists towards Wang Yan, appearing very respectful.
"Who is this?" Wang Yan looked at Zhao.
"This is our Shaqiu County governor. He has come here specially to give us the gift bestowed by the king." Zhao said with a smile.
"It's the county magistrate." Wang Yan immediately returned the greeting.
"You're too polite, Miss Wang." Yan Bing said with a smile immediately.
He also seemed very excited at this moment.
"The rumors are actually true. Zhao Feng is actually the son-in-law of General Wang Jian. This is incredible."
"With this relationship with the Wang family, Zhao Feng will definitely go further in the future."
"He is already the commander-in-chief now, and he will definitely be the general in the future."
"Being able to establish a relationship with the Zhao family and build good ties with them will surely be of great use in the future." Yan Bing thought with joy in his heart.
He has been in officialdom for many years and is now in his forties. Although he has become a county magistrate, Shaqiu is not a wealthy county, and it can be said that it will be difficult for him to rise in the future. But now that he has the connection with the Zhao family and the Wang family, Yan Bing also sees the opportunity to go further in the future and become an official in the court.
After all, the county magistrates stationed outside the capital most desire to be able to serve as officials in the capital, which means they are the real high-ranking officials.
One Zhao Feng represents unlimited potential.
Everyone in the court knew that as long as Zhao Feng continued to move forward steadily, he would surely become a supreme general of the Qin Dynasty one day.
Now that Zhao Feng has become the son-in-law of the Wang family, his future will be even brighter.
Zhao's mother and daughter held their granddaughter and niece in their arms, both of them overjoyed.
Wang Yan, who was standing by, also watched gently without interrupting.
The reason why Wang Yan came to Zhao Feng's home was to see Zhao Feng's mother and sister on his behalf. Of course, the key point was to let Zhao's mother see her grandchildren.
This lasted for quite a while.
The housekeeper standing nearby stepped forward and whispered, "Madam, the young mistress is still waiting outside. Do you want to come into the mansion to discuss in detail?"
Hear this.
Only then did Zhao come to his senses.
She immediately turned around and smiled at Wang Yan: "I only remember going to see my grandson. Yan'er, come, follow me into the mansion."
The word "mother" meant that Wang Yan had become Zhao's daughter-in-law in her heart.
And for this sound.
Wang Yan also had a bright smile on her face and nodded immediately: "Yes."
"housekeeper."
"You arrange for my daughter-in-law's guards to go into the mansion to rest and prepare meals." Zhao instructed the housekeeper again.
"Don't worry, ma'am." The butler responded immediately.
Finished explaining.
Then the family walked slowly towards the mansion.
However, Yan Bing was very tactful. He did not enter the house again to disturb his daughter-in-law, but left the Zhao Mansion directly.
If he were to disturb them at this moment, he would be out of his mind.
"Go prepare some things the baby needs, and send them directly to the Zhao residence after purchase."
Before getting on the carriage, Yan Bing gave instructions to the steward beside him.
"Yes." The steward nodded immediately.
"The Zhao family must not be cut off from this path." Yan Bing thought secretly, and his heart became even more determined.
Inside the Zhao Mansion! Zhao led Wang Yan to the backyard.
It was also the place where Zhao Feng's family's thatched cottage was originally located.
"Yan'er."
"I'll call you that." Zhao held her eldest grandson and spoke gently to Wang Yan.
"Yes, auntie." Wang Yan nodded.
"Sister-in-law, why do you still call me aunt?"
"You have given birth to a pair of children for my brother. You are already the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. You should change your words." Zhao Ying said with a smile.
"Mom." Wang Yan also called out sweetly immediately.
"Yeah." Zhao immediately agreed kindly.
"Don't worry, Yan'er."
"Feng'er is on the battlefield now, and I can't ask him to come back quickly, but as long as he comes back, mother promises that she will let him marry you immediately and give you a real status." Zhao said with a promising tone.
Wang Yan naturally would not refuse Zhao's kindness, but nodded obediently: "Thank you, mother."
"sister in law."
"How did you get to know my brother?" Zhao Ying asked curiously.
"In the army." Wang Yan smiled slightly, with a look of reminiscence on her face.
It seemed that he was thinking of the first time he met Zhao Feng.
"In the army?" Zhao Ying was stunned.
"Your brother saved my life." Wang Yan replied with a smile.
"oh."
"I will repay you with my life."
“My brother really made a lot of money.”
"I enlisted in the army and earned myself a wife." Zhao Ying said immediately with a smile.
Wang Yan smiled shyly.
After all.
Wang Yan and Zhao Feng did not have much love relationship. Everything was because of four words: life-saving grace.
It was because of the life-saving grace, and because she was unwilling to be arranged a marriage, that Wang Yan gave herself to Zhao Feng.
Because of the life-saving grace, I am here today to also thank you for saving my life.
Therefore, he became a member of the Zhao family.
"Yan'er."
"You just gave birth not long ago, you should take good care of yourself and not travel so far." Zhao said with some concern.
"mother."
"Now that Zhao Feng is not with you, as your daughter-in-law, I should come to see you, and also let my mother see the two children." Wang Yan replied gently.
Hearing this.
A touch of emotion also appeared on Zhao's face.
Naturally, she was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
"Where is the blood ginseng?"
Zhao turned her head and looked at the maid beside her.
"Ma'am, here."
The maid immediately took out the box containing the blood ginseng.
"Yan'er, you're here at the right time."
"This is the blood ginseng that Feng'er was given. It is the most superior nourishing food."
"Mother happens to be well versed in medicine. I will personally prepare the medicine for you today to restore your vitality and make up for the deficiency in your body." Zhao said with a smile.
"mother."
“That won’t work.”
"This blood ginseng is the most precious treasure of the Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty is able to give it to Zhao Feng because of his filial piety."
"I heard from Zhao Feng before that you have been in poor health and sickly since you gave birth to Zhao Feng and his sister. This blood ginseng is for your mother to nourish her." Wang Yan immediately refused.
"You are my daughter-in-law, and you gave birth to a pair of granddaughters for me. You must eat this blood ginseng." Zhao said firmly.
"No, mother."
"Absolutely not."
"I was born into a military family and have practiced martial arts since childhood. I am in good health and do not need such precious blood ginseng for nourishment." Wang Yan still refused.
Seeing that both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were refusing.
Zhao Ying at the side couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Mom, sister-in-law."
"The medicinal effect of this blood ginseng is extremely strong. Even after mixing it, one person cannot bear such a strong medicinal effect. Two people are just right."
"Leave this matter to me. I will prepare the medicine for mother and sister-in-law. I guarantee you will be in good health." Zhao Ying said with a smile.
"That's right." Zhao nodded, and then said: "Yan'er, we will eat this blood ginseng together, you can't refuse it."
"Thank you, mother."
Seeing this, Wang Yan could only nod in agreement.
"That's right." Zhao also smiled with satisfaction.
Then.
Zhao thought of something else: "Xiao Lin."
"lady."
The maid beside her came over immediately.
"Go to my room and take out the brocade box under the bed." Zhao said.
"Yes." The maid immediately walked into the room.
After a while.
He took out a small box and handed it to Zhao respectfully.
"Yan'er, this is for you."
Zhao did not open it, but took Wang Yan's hand and placed the small box in front of Wang Yan's hand.
"Mom, what is this?"
"If it's too expensive, I won't dare to accept it." Wang Yan said quickly.
"Open it and take a look." Zhao smiled gently.
Wang Yan slowly opened it and what came into view was a jade bracelet.
"This bracelet looks extremely extraordinary." Wang Yan took a look and said with emotion.
"Yan'er."
"You came to my house today. Although you haven't married yet, you have given birth to a pair of children for my Zhao family. You are already my Zhao family's daughter-in-law. I don't have anything to give you. This bracelet is a family heirloom. It's not expensive, but it has some family value."
"Mother will give you this bracelet today." Zhao said with a smile.
"mother."
"You are so biased. I have had my eyes on this bracelet since I was a child, and you gave it to my sister-in-law as soon as she came." Zhao Ying said with some jealousy, but it was obvious that she was just joking and did not hold any resentment.
"Your sister-in-law brought mother a pair of grandchildren. She is a great contributor to the family."
"You can just be envious, little girl." Zhao replied with a smile.
Without waiting for Wang Yan to refuse.
Zhao took out the bracelet and put it on Wang Yan's wrist.
"Look, it's the right size." Zhao said with a smile.
"Thank you, mother."
Wang Yan thanked her immediately.
"Speaking of which."
"Have my two grandchildren been named?" asked Zhao.
"not yet."
"I plan to wait for Zhao Feng to come back before getting married. They are both still young anyway." Wang Yan replied.
"Okay."
"Let their father get it." Zhao agreed with a smile.
"sister in law."
"How long do you plan to stay at home?" Zhao Ying asked with concern.
"Can I stay here forever?"
"Zhao Feng is not at home, I want to spend more time with my mother." Wang Yan asked tentatively.
"Mother wants nothing more than this."
"Yan'er, you are already my daughter-in-law. This is your home. You can stay here as long as you want." Zhao said happily.
…
Zhao State!
Smoke of war rose everywhere.
As Jinyang was captured by the Qin army, Zhao's main line of defense against the Qin army was also broken.
The three main camps in Lantian were divided into three groups and attacked in one direction.
In just over a month, they had captured dozens of cities of the State of Zhao.
One-fifth of Zhao's territory has fallen into the control of Qin.
but.
As the Qin army advanced.
Zhao's general Pang Nuan has led his troops back to defend the country.
An army of more than 200,000 entrenched in Wu'an City, and also gathered Yan Ju's original remaining army of nearly 100,000.
With Wu'an as the center, a strong defense was formed again.
The three armies of the Lantian camp gradually gathered in Wu'an City.
Inside the military tent! "General Zhao has arrived."
The commander of the guards at the door of the tent shouted.
Zhao Feng walked slowly, followed by two deputy generals.
And inside the tent.
Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe were already present, and they also came with their respective deputy generals.
"I greet the General."
After Zhao Feng entered the tent, he bowed to Wang Jian.
"Please take a seat."
Wang Jian smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"Thank you, General." Zhao Feng took a seat with his two deputy generals.
"General Zhao's offensive this time was swift and fierce. He captured 17 cities of Zhao State in a row. It was the most among my three main camps." Yang Duanhe said with a smile.
"yes."
"General Zhao's ability to command troops is truly extraordinary." Wang Ben also agreed with a smile.
"You two generals are too kind."
"In the past month or so, the two generals have conquered many cities." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
"alright."
"Stop bragging to each other."
"Let's discuss the matter." Wang Jian waved his hand with a serious expression.
"promise."
The three main generals responded at the same time.
"The Zhao army is returning faster than I thought."
"Since withdrawing troops from Yan State, Pang Nuan has now stationed in Wu'an City."
"The number of troops in this city is as high as 300,000."
"Not only the remnant Zhao soldiers from before, but also the more than 200,000 elite Zhao soldiers under Pang Nuan's command."
“It’s hard to break into the city.”
"Even after the city is breached, what awaits us will be an unprecedented bloody battle."
"Are the three generals ready?" Wang Jian asked seriously.
"We will fight for the Qin Dynasty until death." The three generals replied in unison.
"but."
"One good thing can come out of this battle."
"Wu'an City is a city in the heart of Zhao State. It is not a strong military town like Jinyang. It would not be so difficult for our army to attack the city." Wang Jian said again.
"Let's adopt the usual tactics of our Great Qin."
"First, a bloodbath with catapults and bows."
"Inflict as much damage as possible on the Zhao troops in the city, and then use bows and arrows to cover your attack and break the city." Wang Ben said.
"Although there are many Zhao troops in the city, they are exhausted after galloping all the way, and some of them are already remnants. Due to the mutual influence, the morale of the Zhao army is not high." Yang Duanhe also said.
"This battle."
"I suggest attacking the three gates of Wuan at the same time, leaving one gate for the Zhao army to escape." Zhao Feng said.
"Attack three gates and leave one?" Wang Jian looked at Zhao Feng with some surprise in his eyes.
"If we don't give the Zhao army in the city a way to escape, they will fight to the death. But if we leave them a way to survive, they will want to survive and will not dare to fight to the death with our army." Zhao Feng smiled and said the key.
"General Zhao is right."
"Leave a hope for survival and destroy the morale of the Zhao army."
"This tactic is indeed feasible." Yang Duanhe immediately agreed.
"The merit of this battle."
"It's about breaking the city."
"Whoever breaks the city first will be credited with the first achievement."
"As long as Wu'an is captured, our army can attack Handan, and Zhao will have only Handan to defend."
"It won't be long before we reach the decisive moment." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
"I request to attack the main gate of Wuan." Wang Ben said loudly.
"Since General Wang has requested an order to attack the South Main Gate, then I will request an order to attack the East Gate," Yang Duanhe requested.
"I am Ximen." Zhao Feng naturally had no choice.
But if they want to fight, let them fight.
After all, the real key to breaking the city still lies in combat power.
Zhao Feng, who is blessed with the official seal of luck, is naturally not at all inferior. The combat power of Zhao Feng's subordinates is definitely stronger than that of Wang Ben, Yang Duan and them.
Don't say it's them.
Look at the world.
Zhao Feng would never lose to any army in a head-on confrontation.
"good."
"Now that it's decided."
"Then follow the three generals' decision."
"I won't say much. In this siege, whoever breaks the city first will be the first to achieve the credit."
"Ben will take credit for it personally."
"In this battle, I will personally beat the drum to cheer for all the warriors attacking the city."
"Once you capture this city, the Qin State will never treat you unfairly." Wang Jian shouted with a serious face.
General Zhao Fengsan immediately stood up and said, "I will obey you till my death."
"Everyone, go down."
"The army rests for one night."
"The army will attack after noon tomorrow." Wang Jian shouted loudly.
"I obey your command." All the generals responded in unison.
Leave the general's tent.
Zhao Feng returned to his own military camp.
"tomorrow."
"Our army is attacking the west gate of Wu'an City."
"Whoever of the three main camps breaks through the city first will be the first to achieve the credit."
“This feature cannot be taken away.”
"It all depends on the bravery of you generals." Zhao Feng smiled and said to the generals.
"I will follow the general till death."
Tu Sui, Zhang Han.
Wei Quan, Liu Wang and other generals stood up and shouted in unison.
"Go ahead."
Zhao Feng waved his hand.
"I'll take my leave." The generals withdrew.
"Wu'an City, the elite troops of Zhao State gathered."
"After this battle, I wonder how much my overall attributes will increase."
"As long as we capture this city, we can aim at Handan."
"I think it won't be long before it can return to the Qin Dynasty." Zhao Feng was secretly looking forward to it.
