10 Peace
The woman with the highest status in Liufu, Mrs. Liu, Liu Chen, Chen Yufang, her slightly fat body was trapped in a rosewood square chair, the chair was covered with thick and soft cotton cushions, and her own new cotton short jacket was draped in a fox fur coat, and the wind hair in the neck of the big coat was very good, and the brush was soft and soft, and she was surrounded by a thin white and soft neck.
Although it was cold outside, Yahuan had already moved the foot basin and placed it at her feet, burning vigorously, and the hand stove in her hand was also warm.
Her face was like a frozen plank, propped up there, and others could not see the slightest trace of inner feelings on this face.
It can be said that she sat here as steady as Mount Tai, calming everyone's panicked formation.
The servants kept going in and out, and a basin of steaming hot water was trotted from the kitchen by the subordinates, and sent into Mufengju, and then a basin of blood water was handed out from under the door curtain, and the big vat containing the water was actually full, and there was no place to put it for a while, so it could only be splashed on the snow on the spot, and soon, a large piece of white snow revealed a bright red blood.
As soon as the door curtain moved, Xie Yulin bent over, "How is it?" Chen almost jumped up from his chair.
Xie Yulin didn't look at her, just shook his head, his haggard face was full of the exhaustion of a sleepless night's hard work.
"Let's prepare for the aftermath - I have limited medical skills, so I did my best-"
Xie Yulin's voice finally sounded, and after speaking, he suddenly turned around, did not say goodbye, and hurriedly walked out of the door, the small medicine box he was carrying seemed to weigh a thousand catties, dragging him step by step.
Chen Shi looked at the back and did not stay, she suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart, the things she had been worried about had finally landed, she could rest assured, however, a faint sense of loss hit her heart, she clearly felt that Xie Yulin's evasion of her gaze just now, and that unfamiliar tone, clearly contained a resentment and an undisguised alienation.
It seems that he is deliberately distancing himself from her, he doesn't want to look at her, he doesn't want to stay in front of her for a while.
He, isn't he, resentful of her in his heart?
"Big lady--the old body did her best, the old body used all the housekeeping skills, it's really hopeless, even Dr. Xie said that there is no help-" With the voice, a short and fat body knelt in front of Chen, and kowtowed on the snow under the steps, the two small hands she held were soaked in blood, and after kowtowing on the snow, two huge bloody handprints were pressed out of the snow.
The other aunts and wives who were waiting at the door were all pale, some were speechless with fright, some sighed quietly, and some secretly gloated, each thinking different things in their hearts. But on the surface, they all show extremely sincere sympathy.
Chen sighed heavily, "Wrap up that dead child, and wait for the master to come back and call to see him, so that the father and son will have a good time-poor child, how good it would be to be born in a family like ours, who knows how short and blessed it is-"
After speaking, he stood up and handed the hand stove to Yahuan, "Sisters, sisters, not afraid of taboo in the bloody delivery room, follow me in to see the ninth sister, sisters, and finally send it on a ride." ”
Five or six women, ringing and jingling, and Yingying Yanyan, suddenly huddled together and followed Chen into the house, and some people couldn't help but cry. Even if I usually feel jealous and jealous of this newly married woman so favored, but when I think of her ending her life in a hurry, everyone still has a little sympathy and pity.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, they were all women, especially as Master Liu's women, why couldn't they get over the hurdle of giving birth to a son one by one.
Xie Yulin walked with his head bowed in despair, the shock and frustration in his heart were only known to him, and he couldn't help but bury his head in a single thought: "She is actually pregnant with twins, I have been diagnosed several times and the pulse has not been diagnosed, I have been practicing medicine for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a situation - the heart of the doctor's parents, but her death is three lives, alas, what kind of sin have I suffered-"
Before he could say a word, he collided with a soft body.
Looking up, a woman in a red shirt, petite and thin, seemed to be in a hurry, so she didn't notice that she bumped into herself, strangely, her expression was very calm, she only glanced at him, bowed her head slightly, and rushed into the door.
Aunt Jiu's wife Li Wanjiao is only sixteen years old this year, at this moment she is lying on the kang, naked, she has long forgotten what shame she cares, the servant woman put a piece of cotton cloth on her lap, and she slowly struggles to kick it off, as if she can only feel a little more comfortable when she shows herself.
The blood seemed to have dried up, and everyone's eyes saw a bloody dark hole open between their legs.
Wang Qiaoshou was unwilling, and reached out to dig into the dark hole, she didn't care if it would hurt this person and woman, she dug it very deeply, one by one, but took out the black blood in her palm.
Mrs. Jiu couldn't make a sound, her bloody mouth was moving one by one, her hair was already soaked with sweat, and looking at that complexion, she was already not far from death.
Chen held a petite tender hand, sighed in his heart, this time last year, the owner of this little hand just entered the door, deeply loved by the old man, plus she is very good at being stupid and coquettish, the old man is so confused that he can't wait to accompany her night and night. The bride is naturally fresh, and for a long time, Master Liu has forgotten all the women.
Who would have thought that now this delicate body has only a few breaths left, and it is about to turn into a cold dead corpse.
Chen pressed a breath of relief deep into his stomach.
"Ninth sister, you can go with confidence, no one can escape the road of life and death, it's just a matter of time, you won't be lonely when you get there, your son has already gone there and is waiting for you-let's get on the road--sisters have sent each other off-"
Tears rained down as he spoke.
Suddenly, the door lit up, and the aunts and wives were going to have a farewell ceremony like the Chen family, but the door curtain fell to the ground, and a person came in, rushing straight to the edge of the kang.
It was a little girl.
Red jacket, red shirt, pleated skirt, hair loosely tied in a bun at the back of the head.
She quietly looked at the mother on the kang.
Chen couldn't remember for a while which room this was the maid ring or which subordinate child, but she was very unhappy in an instant, and she didn't look at what time it was, and it was also something that you could break into as a girl?
The little girl didn't seem to know that everyone's eyes were staring at her, she suddenly knelt on the side of the kang and reached out to touch Li's belly, which was not as big as when she was pregnant because she gave birth to a fetus, but it was still swollen, like a broken drum that was beaten softly.
She pressed her stomach with both hands, probed it very quickly, and then reached out and kept groping.
Chen Shi got angry, "What are you going to do?
That means that if you turn around and discipline yourself, your master will not be able to get rid of the charge of lax discipline.
The girl's two little hands are very neat, and she has pushed Chen to turn over and fall asleep, and Chen is really like dead at this moment, and she can endure how others manipulate her.
"Isn't that who?" the eighth aunt exclaimed, "Brother Wan'er's daughter-in-law? It's Brother Wan'er's child daughter-in-law, little mute!"
Everyone's eyes brushed on the little girl who rushed in, and Chen paid close attention to it, and it was really good, it was the dumb daughter of the tenant who married two months ago. This family affair Chen has never put it in his heart, the old man loves Chongxi and Chongxi, it turns out that the master's Chongxi is a failure, after the new daughter-in-law married into the door, Wan Geer's stupid illness did not get better, in fact, the root of the disease since childhood, how can it get better because of marrying a daughter-in-law, everyone knows that it is impossible, just treat yourself to the doctor when he is deceiving himself and going to the doctor when he is sick, and find psychological comfort.
The child bowed to Chen when he visited the high hall on the day he entered the door, and then Chen never had the heart to see her again, and threw her into the corner courtyard and left her to fend for herself.
How did she get here?
This is where she should be?
The ladies of Liufu could not be present for such a thing, and the little sisters obediently stayed in their boudoirs. Even if this child daughter-in-law has become a parent, she is not a hairy girl, but after all, there is no round house, if Brother Wan is interested in the daytime, he will go to the corner courtyard to play with his daughter-in-law, and sleep with Chen's at night, so this little mute is still a yellow flower girl, and this woman doesn't seem to be suitable for her to watch, right?
The dumb aunt ignored the thoughts of these women, she had already put on the kang with her shoes on, checked Li's stomach for a while, jumped off the kang again, curled up Li into a ball of dying body and pulled it to the side of the kang, and at the same time tore off the sheet that the girl had just covered, rolled up her sleeve and stretched out her right hand to touch it into the birth canal.
This move immediately frightened the room full of people.
It's just a dumb person, a child daughter-in-law, a poor worm who is left to fend for herself in the corner courtyard in obscurity, dare to run to this place, dare to do it when she comes, what is she going to do?
She had already finished the interview, the blood on the thin white arm was dripping, she ignored it, and ran on the kang again, riding on Li's body, two hands on the stomach up and down, pushing a few times, jumping off the kang, suddenly grabbed a curtain in front of the bed and tore off a piece, stuffed a ball into Li's mouth, and began to lie in front of the kang and probed into the birth canal.
Li Shi suddenly struggled to wake up from the severe pain, and her mouth let out a ho-ho-ho roar, and the cloth ball was just stuffed between her teeth, and she bit the cloth ball so hard that her teeth rattled.
"Get this madman out of here!
Chen abruptly stopped drinking.
Mama Li immediately answered at the door, dodged in, pounced and grabbed the dumb aunt's back.
The dumb aunt was thin and weak, and she stumbled, but as soon as she shook her hand, she let out an angry vomit in her mouth, and the blood on her hand suddenly shook Li's mother's face.
The dumb aunt snorted in her mouth, grabbed a stool at hand and greeted Mama Li's face, Mama Li didn't expect her to be so desperate, so she was so frightened that she took a few steps back, took out a handkerchief and quickly wiped her face.
The dumb aunt took the opportunity to reach into the Li family's birth canal again, one hand exploring inside, and the other hand rubbing, patting, and constantly tossing on the stomach outside.
"Pull this dumb person down, in the Guanjiao Courtyard, don't let her out without my order!"
Chan was furious.
Mama Li had already beckoned two stout servants in.
"Big lady slow—"
Suddenly, the fourth aunt stretched out her hand.
She trembled and stretched out her hand to point at Aunt Jiu, "Her stomach seems to be moving, you see, here, it's moving inside!"
Eyes are focused on the lower abdomen.
There, sure enough, it was moving, and there was a round ball of flesh bulging there, which was twitching one by one.
Aunt Jiu gasped a few times, held her breath and exerted herself hard, and let out a ho-ho-ho moan from her mouth.
"It's the other way around-shameless little slut, pull down and beat him to death with a stick, I have my own explanation when the master comes back!"
Chan gave the order to die.
But the fourth aunt was too desperate to protect the dumb aunt, and the other aunts and wives all watched blankly, but their bodies unconsciously surrounded them, blocking the dumb aunt in their circle.
They are all people who have given birth and raised, and they have seen this scene of nine deaths and one life, and at this moment, seeing this woman dying on the edge of death, the original complex thoughts in their hearts have disappeared, and there is only one thought left in their hearts, hoping that she will survive, and the child in her womb will survive. are all women, at this moment, is the most pitiful moment for a woman, I hope this young and fresh flower of life will not wither like this.
They all have experience in giving birth and raising, and at this moment, they were suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that Li's struggling appearance seemed to be trying to be born, and the fetus in the womb seemed to feel some kind of calling, and was cooperating with the adults to squeeze out desperately.
When a few midwives who had done their best saw this scene, they immediately came to their senses and hurriedly gathered around to help, some shouted at Li, told her to take a deep breath, exert her strength, and struggle, and some helped to brush her stomach; everyone inadvertently imitated the action of the dumb aunt just now.
Chen was also dumbfounded, crazy, crazy, is this all people crazy, they obediently helped a little dumb man, what is this blind toss, can they save the dead person judged by Xie Yulin? Can they get out the dead fetus that Wang Qiao's hands can't get out?
Lee fainted.
The dumb aunt suddenly pulled out a jade scratch from the head of the eighth aunt on the opposite side, and poked the sharp end at Li's human acupoint.
Aunt Eight's bun suddenly loosened, and her black hair was draped over her face, but she forgot to blame this little mute for offending herself.
Sweat trickled down several faces.
Lan Xiang didn't care that she was a daughter, and suddenly rushed in, "This is ginseng soup, Mr. Xie said that he could use ginseng soup to hang his life, but he said that he didn't need to pour it anymore, I think it's better to pour a little, our poor master is still so young......" said and cried.
The eighth aunt took the bowl and fed it to Li's mouth.
I just fed two spoonfuls, and suddenly there was a "wow" cry, and everyone in the place was stunned.
The dumb aunt carried a blue and purple body in her hand, and she reached out and slapped it fiercely, letting out one clear cry after another.
Everyone's eyes brushed to the crotch of the small body, where a small meat egg the size of a broad bean was so conspicuous and cute.
"Birth, birth, birth—a boy—a living boy!"
For a while, these words were like a gust of wind, spreading out of Mu Fengju and spreading throughout the entire Liufu.
The dumb aunt cut the child's umbilical cord short with scissors, and there was new cotton and white cotton cloth prepared in advance, and she quickly wrapped the umbilical cord, and then wrapped it in a small quilt, and then put the child next to Li.
As soon as the child landed, Li seemed to have unloaded a thousand catties of heavy burden, opened his mouth wide and drank a few spoonfuls of ginseng soup, and then closed his eyes tiredly.
Mother and child are safe.
When the news spread out of the door curtain again, and Mu Fengju came out, the people in the mansion believed a fact that they couldn't believe even if they were killed: Aunt Jiu was too born, gave birth to a boy, and the mother and son were safe.
At this moment, Liu Dingmao's aunts and wives were blown away by the breeze to dispel their usual jealousy, and they all showed their real smiles to the fleshy little man in the swaddling clothes.
Only Chen, she was laughing, she was laughing from the moment she saw the child slip out of the birth canal, but only she knew how her heart was trembling violently and twitching.
Her eyes fell fiercely on the man who had turned the tide of life and death - the little mute, the child daughter-in-law, and she couldn't even think of what to do with this person for a while.
"The master is back—" Someone shouted in the courtyard.
"Congratulations to my lord, mother and son are safe—" shouted many of the subordinates like parrots.
The cry of joy startled the snow in the treetops to fall down.
