33. Gave birth for a day

Li Wei is very good at picking days when she gives birth.

It happened to be the time of the New Year's banquet, just like last year, the fourth elder brother and Fu Jin had to go to the palace every day to receive the banquet. Last year, it was the eldest grandmother and Li Wei (nominal) in charge, and this year I went out of the palace to build a mansion, and the inner and outer courtyards have clear regulations, so it is Song Gege (nominal), the four grandmothers in the inner courtyard and Su Peisheng in the outer courtyard.

In order to get up early, the fourth elder brother has moved back to the front yard study.

Li Wei has no one to take care of her, and her belly is really big for her to ignore, so she simply gives full play to the spirit of Ah Q, hehe...... The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, no matter what.

Anyway, you can't really not give birth.

In addition to letting Mama Liu touch her belly every day to determine the fetal position, she is teasing Momofuku and watching it roll hydrangea. After the dog clothes she sewn for Baifu last time were seen by the fourth elder brother, she asked the embroidery girls to make a few sets again, and Xiao Xizi changed one for Baifu every day. Recently, during the Chinese New Year, I wore red.

Momofuku, who is dressed in red, rolls hydrangeas with red silk and green threads, and he can't tell which one is a hydrangea and which one is a dog.

On this morning, the fourth elder brother and Fu Jin were gone. As soon as Li Wei woke up, she touched her stomach on the bed and groaned for a long time, and said something to the jade bottle that made her fall on the spot.

"It seems to be starting to hurt."

The jade bottle legs made her soften, and her eyes were as big as copper bells. At this time, he didn't dare to shout, and said to Yuyan, who was also stupid in the house, in a trembling voice: "Hurry, hurry up and call Mama Liu, let the midwife come quickly." ”

Mama Liu got up early, and the two masters in the house were not there recently, and the one she was waiting for was unreliable, so she slept with her ears pricked up for fear that the shouts in the room over there would not be heard. As soon as she heard Yuyan's hurried footsteps, Mama Liu rushed out with an arrow, and the two just collided with each other.

"Is there something wrong with the master?" Mama Liu asked as she walked briskly to the main house.

Yuyan's face turned white with fright, she was the vigil last night! She trembled and said, "Mama, Gege said that her stomach hurts." As soon as the words fell, Mama Liu had already trotted into the main house.

In the room, Li Wei gasped and hummed: "It hurts again...... It's starting to hurt again......"

Mama Liu touched her stomach and took off her pants to see, no matter how the time was calculated, she said, "Gege, when did you start hurting?" ”

"I don't know, I'm asleep." Li Wei is still pumping cold air, it really hurts when she breathes.

I can sleep through the pain, this master is simply!!

Mama Liu had nothing to say, so she hurried to burn the kang in the delivery room. Fortunately, this delivery room has to burn the kang every day, otherwise the cold will not be dispersed for a while. Even if it burns now, it will take half an hour to stop before you can go in.

The small courtyard was in a mess, and Yushui and Zhang Desheng were burning the kang in the delivery room. Here, Li Wei shouted pain as soon as she woke up, and Zhao Quanbao ran to find Zhang Desheng. Anyway, the front yard dining room is relatively close, and it is more convenient to boil a ginseng soup with hot water. As soon as Zhang Desheng heard this, he brought people here, and after Song Gege's incident, they all knew that the delivery room could not burn the kang or light the brazier, and they had to warm the room before Li Gege entered. Otherwise, what if she gave birth in it for seven or eight hours and then froze out?

The kang in the delivery room was soon hot, and the new bedding and tent were replaced, and the midwife and the eldest mother came together, and when they saw that the delivery room was almost baked, they let the kang go out, so that no one would go in and cry and cry too hot. The brazier was also going to be taken out, and after opening the window to disperse the charcoal, Mama Liu and the jade bottle carried Li Wei out and entered the delivery room.

After going in and lying down, taking off her pants, putting a quilt on her legs, stuffing a piece of cork in her mouth, and being fully armed, Li Wei felt that she basically didn't look like a human anymore, and Mama Liu was still sitting next to her and said: "Gege, you have to start saving up, don't scream when it hurts for a while, be lucky." ”

It turns out that you haven't even invented how to breathe when you have a baby?

Li Wei remembers watching TV shows in the past and saying that special breathing methods can alleviate maternal pain.

Ask for breathing!!

All have internal strength and tai chi! Why don't you invent a breathing method!!

In the front yard, Su Peisheng, who had left the housekeeper, got on his horse and ran to the palace. Fortunately, he has a waist card, and he has also brushed a lot of presence with the fourth elder brother in the past, and no one is embarrassed to enter. It was only when I went in that I realized that the fourth elder brother was in the main hall at this time!

Su Peisheng turned outside for two hours like a donkey! When he finally saw the fourth elder brother, he quietly squeezed in front of the fourth elder brother's seat and replaced the person who was waiting with him.

When the fourth elder brother saw him asking, he carried the pot over and poured a glass of wine, and whispered in the fourth elder brother's ear: "Master Li is about to give birth." ”

Hearing this, the wine glass in the fourth elder brother's hand didn't shake, but he forgot to drink it for a while. When he came to his senses, he said to Su Peisheng: "Go back and keep an eye on it." ”

Su Peisheng responded, and asked again: "Do you want to go to Yonghe Palace ......" to inform Fujin?

The fourth elder brother thought about it carefully, thinking that there were big grandmothers in the house, and it would be useless for Fujin to go back, not to mention that at such a critical time as the Chinese New Year, it would be too conspicuous to let Fujin go back if he gave birth to a child. It's not good for Lee's either.

Besides, one thing is the most taboo to have two supervisors. No Fujin grandma can call the shots alone, and Fujin grandma has to report everything to Fujin, Fujin will carefully refer to it, discuss it again, and then return it to the big mama, this time it is easy to make mistakes and pass the buck to each other.

He shook his head and said, "No need, the affairs in the palace matter." Let's just say that the master is entrusted to the big grandma. ”

Su Peisheng complained for the eldest grandmother and turned around and went home.

The rest of the banquet, the fourth elder brother has been distracted, holding a cup and toasting with others, but when he is gossiping, he is calculating in his heart that Li is how many months pregnant? It was less than nine months after counting it several times. Eight and a half months. Then she was angry, the Song family knew that she had survived the New Year's banquet and everyone was at home to regenerate, why did she pick this inconvenient time!

It's not easy to be called a doctor on this kind of day.

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, the more panicked I became, the doctor couldn't call it, there was a doctor in the medical hall in the city. Su Peisheng shouldn't even think of this, right?

While thinking that he had forgotten to confess just now, he thought that it would be too late to call someone back to deliver the message.

After finding a vacancy, he said to Zhang Bao, who was waiting beside him: "Go back and tell Su Peisheng, don't call the imperial doctor, go to the city and call the doctor." ”

Zhang Bao whispered. Seeing him leave, the fourth elder brother was half relieved.

Although Zhang Bao was young, he also waited from the palace. The first master he came out of the Internal Affairs Office to wait for was the fourth elder brother, who was considered the descendant of the lineage. Don't look at Su Peisheng's trust in his apprentice Zhang Desheng, but in the eyes of the fourth elder brother, Zhang Desheng is just doing miscellaneous things for Su Peisheng, and it doesn't count at all.

Therefore, Zhang Bao did not go back to the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion directly. When he left the palace, he went straight to Qianmen Street, picked the largest medical hall and pharmacy in the most prosperous section, went in and asked which one specialized in pediatric gynecology, and left with the medicine box.

When the two of them returned home with the doctor and went straight to the backyard from the gate, Su Peisheng was also worried about inviting the imperial doctor, and was discussing with the eldest grandmother. The eldest grandmother said: "Gege's situation is better now, and besides, now is the happy time for the New Year, and the imperial doctor is not so easy to call." ”

Su Peisheng is still not as old as the eldest grandmother, he and the fourth elder brother are of the same generation, and at this time he was a little unbearable, and said worriedly: "Always have one." ”

The eldest grandmother groaned, "...... The doctor can call two haode over and use it first. ”

"...... on the street Can it be done? Su Peisheng couldn't trust the doctor outside. The main reason is that the fourth elder brother values Li Gege, plus the child in her belly, Su Peisheng does not dare to be cautious.

As he was talking, Zhang Bao came in with the doctor sweating profusely, and after standing still, he said without breathing: "This is what Brother asked me to send back, Brother said that I am not allowed to call the doctor during the Chinese New Year now, so I will use the doctor outside." After saying that, he had to hurry back, wipe his sweat and leave without drinking the tea.

With this sentence, Su Peisheng didn't have a word, and hurriedly asked someone to go outside to ask for a few more, insurance. The eldest grandmother asked the doctor to lead the doctor to ask about the family history, name, etc., and then change her clothes and go in to cut the pulse.

When the fourth elder brother saw Zhang Bao come back, he learned that the doctor had directly invited him to send him back to the house, and nodded appreciatively, and heard that the Li family was fine now, and his heart was also settled, thinking that maybe he would not be born when he went back.

Who knows, the fourth elder brother and Fu Jin just entered the house at dusk, and the good news was reported there, and the mother and daughter were safe.

Mama Zhuang and Mama Liu entered the main courtyard together to give the fourth elder brother and Fujin good news.

"Ergege, five pounds and one tael, the eyebrows and eyes are very delicate! Li Gege is also very energetic after giving birth. It's being cleaned up over there now. Mama Zhuang said.

Mama Liu is even more witty, she also came from the palace, no more than Mama Zhuang came after opening the mansion, and she couldn't let go when she saw the fourth elder brother. She smiled and said: "Li Gege's birth is very smooth, and the ginseng soup and the doctor are not used." ”

The fourth elder brother laughed when he heard this, and Fu Jin also smiled: "The Li family is a blessed one. You take good care of Li Gege and Ergege. ”

When the two of them retreated, the fourth elder brother stood up and said, "I'll go to the study, you don't have to rush to see the Li family, just call your grandmother to go tomorrow." ”

Fu Jin said: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”

The fourth elder brother went to the study, and first pretended to tease Momofuku for a while. As soon as it became lively over there, Su Peisheng asked Xiao Xizi to come here with the dog first, so as not to get in the way.

Momofuku took the hydrangea in his mouth and put it in his hand, and three or four times out of five times he was distracted and didn't pay attention.

Estimating that the time was almost up, it was time to pack up over there, so I went straight to the small courtyard.

In the small courtyard, Li Wei was letting people feed her while holding the child to breastfeed. When she was pregnant with the child, she made up for the weight three times, and her height jumped more than three inches, but it didn't seem to make up for the child, all of it was made up for her, and the child was not fat when he was born.

Her milk opened well, she started to flow milk two days ago, and she was so hungry today that she felt like she was about to turn into a piece of paper, and her milk squirted out.

"Ancestor!" Li Wei held the baby and fed her, and after giving birth, she didn't have any worries at all! It's like throwing off fifty pounds of meat, and the whole person is relaxed.

The jade bottle is feeding her a spoonful of brown sugar soaked chicken cake, this cake is also what she wants to eat, the dining room will not make baked chicken cakes, but people really made what she described as "soft taste, honeycomb small holes" ** chicken cake. As soon as she gave birth, she shouted: "I'm starving to death, soak chicken cakes in brown sugar water, this is fast!" ”

After eating seven or eight chicken cakes the size of a fist in one go, I finally relieved my hunger, and the child was full of milk and hugged it. The fourth elder brother happened to come in at this time, and he was bumping into the nurse and carrying Xiao Gege out, he took a closer look at the little guy with red eyes, and felt that he didn't dare to touch this tender skin.

After watching it for a long time, the fourth elder brother told the nurse to take care of it, and her whole family couldn't save Xiao Gege if something happened to her!

After threatening other professionals, he walked to the screen and said through the screen, "Thank you for your hard work." Little Gege is very good. ”

Li Wei saw that she had worked hard to give birth to his child, in exchange for him talking through the screen?

What is this?

was aggrieved, probably emotionally still full of energy, and Li Wei, whose brain had not yet been adjusted to the level of 'soberness', flattened her mouth and cried. The jade bottle that was waiting for her shouted in surprise: "Gege? ”

As soon as the fourth elder brother heard that the voice was wrong, he came in directly around the screen. I thought something was wrong, but when I saw her ruddy face, she was a golden bean with a grievance.

Recently, I've been getting more and more coquettish.

While thinking that she had been spoiled too much lately, he walked over and sat on the stool next to the bed. The house had been incense, and she had combed her hair and changed her clothes, and she didn't look sloppy. It's just that from a distance, I think her face is ruddy, but when I look closely, I see that her face is haggard and weak, and the red on her face looks very unnatural and worrying.

He touched her face, although he didn't touch the rouge, but he felt that his face was a little too hot, and his forehead was also very hot, so he was in a hurry, and said, "Call the doctor in." ”

The jade bottle hurriedly said: "The doctor has let me go back." ”

"Nonsense!" The fourth elder brother said angrily, "Go and call back!" I've been living in the house for the past few days! Then Xun Yu bottle, "Didn't you notice that your master was hot?" Don't get out of here! ”

The jade bottle rushed out and shouted Zhao Quanbao, hurry up and chase the doctor!

Li Wei touched her face, it was a little hot, but she felt that she was very relaxed, so it should be normal, so she said, "It's okay." ”

"Lie down." The fourth elder brother helped her and said.

"Wait, I haven't eaten the ravioli I wanted!" After eating the chicken cake, she specially ordered it! Point out that the shrimp should be whole!

If you still remember to eat, it shouldn't be a big problem.

The fourth elder brother touched her hand, which was also very hot. I remembered reaching into the quilt and touching the mattress, only to find that the kang had burned again, probably because I was afraid of catching a cold again after giving birth. That's a sigh of relief.

"Why did you give birth so early?" The fourth elder brother still complained about her.

Li Wei was very happy, she really put down a big stone after giving birth.

"It's okay, it's bigger to give birth to a child at term, and now she's small, and she will give birth all of a sudden." She gestured with both hands to the big and small dolls, indicating how hard it was to be too big to be born.

The fourth elder brother was really happy to see her, and he kept smiling on his face, but his spirit was getting lazier and lazier, and his eyelids were almost sticky. But she still waited until the wonton came up, under the chicken soup, and the wonton had whole shrimp in it according to what she said. At this time, the shrimp is very valuable, and the north side is gone, only the south side has it. This was just offered before the New Year and distributed to the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion.

The fourth elder brother knew that she liked it, so he specially said that he would stay and raise it carefully, and she would make it when she wanted to eat it.

With a bowl of shrimp wontons, Li Wei finally fell asleep without worry. When she fell asleep, the fourth elder brother went next door to see Xiao Gege. Because she had to breastfeed, Little Gege didn't leave the house, but was in a cubicle on the other side of a wall.

Xiao Gege was wrapped in swaddling clothes, the fourth elder brother stared at her little face □ endlessly, Xiao Gege twisted, he guessed if she was uncomfortable, he untied the swaddling clothes, and wanted to take a closer look to see if the touch was where she was scratched, but he saw her fingers. Of her ten fingers, only six were fully long, and four were only half long.

His face suddenly changed color, and the nurse who was kneeling on the ground saw his expression, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Gege was born early, and it won't be like this when he grows in his mother's womb." It will grow well when the moon is full. ”

The fourth elder brother wrapped her lightly as she was, turned around and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Gege is missing a hair, and the master wants the life of your family." ”

Back in the study, the fourth elder brother called Su Peisheng and said, "The things before and after Li's birth, investigate carefully." ”

The Song family was born when he was more than nine months old, and the Li family raised it so well, and the child was born in good health, why was it born so early?

Su Peisheng had already called Li Wei here and said that he was going to give birth, and he surrounded the front and back of the small courtyard, and in the past two months, the list of people who had entered and exited the small courtyard was also in hand. Li Wei was born in the house, and the eldest grandmother and he stared at the list from beginning to end, and everyone took turns to interrogate them.

The verdict is: it's fine.

But now if you talk to the fourth elder brother like this, you will probably only get one kick.

Su Peisheng was embarrassed, withdrew while responding, and turned his head to discuss with the eldest grandmother. When the eldest grandmother heard this, she immediately pushed it and called it clean, what is this an errand given to you by Grandma, how can we interfere? Now that Gege has just finished giving birth, there are still many things to do, and we can't be busy here, so we won't point fingers.

dragged on until the evening, Su Peisheng had to take the answer 'no problem' to report to the fourth elder brother, and sure enough, he was rewarded with a kick, Su Peisheng forced the fourth elder brother to kick it hard, and then fell down, kowtowed: "Never dare to deceive the master!" The slave also raised his heart, Master Li was pregnant, and he used food, and the slave and the eldest grandmother stared at it every day. This time, as soon as Master Li launched, the slave and the eldest grandmother surrounded the small courtyard, and even checked the entry and exit two months ago, really...... It's really ...... "No problem."

The fourth elder brother told him to go outside and kneel, and then called the eldest grandmother to ask.

The eldest grandmother is naturally different, and her words can also be listened to by him. The eldest grandmother said: "Master, don't think that the old slave sells the old for the old, the slave has seen a lot in the palace." Li Gege was favored by his master, and everyone stared at her. The minions were in the backyard, not to mention putting both eyes on her, at least one of them staring at her. This time, I guess it was really an accident. It may be that Li Gege is lucky, if he wants to raise it to full-term and regenerate, the child is only afraid that he will weigh another two or three pounds, and it will be even more difficult at that time, how can there be today's smoothness? ”

When the fourth elder brother heard it, his suspicion disappeared by half. A month ago, the prince also got a small grid, and it was gone in a few days. Because it is difficult to inquire in the palace, the prince is also sad for a few days and prepares for the New Year.

At that time, the fourth elder brother thought that if he was in his own house, he would definitely not let the child have such a thing. Can't even ask, check? Behind closed doors, he is the only master. What's not to do on your own turf?

The Song family can still give birth safely in the palace, but the Li family is silently premature outside the palace.

Thinking of this, he made the fourth elder brother angry.

"I believe in Mama." The fourth elder brother said calmly, "Since Mama said it's okay, it's okay." ”

The eldest grandmother's heart sank and she knelt down.

Fourth Elder Brother: "Since you can be born safely, you can grow up safely." I handed it over to Mama. ”

The eldest grandmother only felt that a Mount Tai above her head was pressed down, and the whole person was almost out of breath by this bad news. My brother! Who dares to pat their chests and say that a little doll can grow up safely? She's not a fairy?

But at this time, I can only say with a loyal face that there is no problem and leave it to me, and I will be worried after I quit. As soon as I went back, I called Mama Zhuang, and the two of them went to the small courtyard to check the inside and out, the flowers under the corridor, the birds in the cage, and the fish in the tank to make sure that nothing was lost.

After checking, the eldest grandmother said: "I will come once a day in the future, I will work hard for you." ”

Mama Zhuang nodded: "How dare you say it's hard to do things for the master?" "The opportunity for promotion has come, okay? Mama Zhuang was so excited that she was like drinking chicken blood.

She was hoping that someone who didn't have long eyes would really hurt Li Gege, so ...... Hey, hey, hey......

Looking at Mama Zhuang's face full of ambition, Mama Zhuang was relieved, there are a few more like this, Li Gege must be solid here.

The doctors were left to live for ten days, at this time Xiao Gege had opened his eyes, Li Wei also drained the lochia, and every day the chicken soup, fish soup, pig's trotter soup became more and more white, tender and fat, and now she has to hold the milk room, for fear that it will be too big to stuff her daughter's mouth and nose.

On this day, when Mama Liu massaged her belly, Li Wei sighed that there was a maternal massage in ancient times. With a sore tooth and cracked mouth, he shouted worse than the day he gave birth to his daughter.

The fourth elder brother happened to come to see her, and when he heard the sound outside the small courtyard, he hurried in, and was relieved to see the eldest grandmother guarding the door. Called to the next room to ask, the eldest grandmother said: "This is also Mama Liu's specialty, let her press it like this, and recover faster." The grandmother I know knows is the only one who knows this, and she refuses to teach others. ”

The fourth elder brother was relieved, and when he heard this scream again, he felt harsh, the Li family was too unreserved, and said to Yushui, who was waiting on the side: "Go and let your master shout quietly." ”

Yushui went to say, as soon as Li Wei heard that the fourth elder brother was coming, she wanted to cry again, but she felt that her tears were too low recently, and today I heard that he let him make a little noise. This doesn't work, the fourth elder brother will definitely be annoyed. She held back, sobbing and shouting, all of them just hurt and couldn't help screaming, and she stopped when she thought about it.

The fourth elder brother listened even more awkwardly next door, it was better to hold back half of this than to call it out, as if he had wronged her a lot.

As soon as he passed, he saw Li Wei's painful face turned pale, his hands were tightly grasping the curtain, and the whole person was about to stick to the wall, the jade bottle pressed her shoulder to prevent her from hiding, and Mama Liu looked at her hand slowly, but she didn't hesitate.

It's a torture scene.

As soon as he saw him, Li's tears fell, and his mouth was flat and tears flowed.

The fourth elder brother sat down, hugged her, and motioned for Mama Liu to continue pressing. Since this is good for her, she pressed it for a moment before stopping. Mama Liu's face turned pale after she came in from the fourth elder brother, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. After pressing it, I quickly retreated.

Everyone left, the fourth elder brother put his hand on her belly, and as soon as she put her frightened hand on it, her belly trembled, and her teeth were still fighting.

"Don't rub, don't rub." The fourth elder brother coaxed, and gently put his hand on her stomach, "Cry, cry if you want to cry." ”

Is it okay to cry when it hurts? Is it okay to have a pain in your stomach when you strain it? Don't cry!

So she bit her lip and her tears kept falling.

The fourth elder brother said in his heart, Li's greatest talent is to be coquettish, when she is wronged, when she doesn't speak, even if she looks down and doesn't look at people, it seems to be coquettish.

If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be able to raise her if she was hired by ordinary people, and this kind of temperament can only be stored in the house, and she is used to following it every day.

Thinking of this, the fourth elder brother pressed her head into his arms, because he was amused. Feeling that Li was still crying on his chest, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Why are you so delicate?

Li Wei found out! He's so cruel! She hurts so much and he laughs!

She tried hard to push him away, but she was in pain and crying and had no strength anymore, the fourth elder brother hugged her, with a smile on her face, and when she saw her with tears on her face, she wiped it for her, and asked very unconscionablely: "Are you still crying?" ”

Li Wei was bold and courageous, and said very confidently: "...... Cry. ”

"Then let's cry, ah." The fourth elder brother cooperated, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and stuffed it into her hand.

Boom~~ I can't cry!!

As soon as the crying dispersed, Li Wei herself felt that it was unreasonable to cry just now. Are you so emotional just after giving birth? Say cry and cry, laugh and laugh?

She leaned into the arms of the fourth elder brother and was still smoking.

The fourth elder brother stroked her shoulder and thought about her thoughts, and the room fell silent.

The jade bottle and the others outside had been listening to the movement in the house, and only then did they dare to quietly glance inside, and they were relieved to see that the two were leaning together and the atmosphere was very good.

Mama Liu has not been relieved until now: "My ancestor, I can go back to rest." The jade bottle was sent to the door in a good voice, and Mama Liu said: "It's okay, I've been waiting for someone all my life, haven't I seen anything?" The masters are all sensible and will not bother with us villains. ”

The jade bottle still stuffed her with ten taels of silver before sending her out. Although Gege is favored, these little people can't afford to offend.

The next day, the palace got the news, the timing of this child came out was very coincidental, and the New Year's report said that the fourth elder brother had added a small Gege, although there was no reward, but Concubine De knew that she praised 'is a blessed child', and the fourth elder brother entered the palace again, and the brothers toasted and said congratulations.

The prince also specially mentioned it when he toasted, saying: "The child has just landed, and he doesn't dare to be alarmed or rewarded." Huang Ama and Huang Ma are very happy, and I, who is an older brother, are also happy for you. Take care of it, and I'll add makeup to her when she's older! ”

Some time ago, the prince, who had just died young, drank three cups with the fourth elder brother before letting him go, and almost even took the name for the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother ran very fast, thinking to himself, don't you even want to raise the child for me? I'm glad I didn't let you speak.

The author has something to say: see you tomorrow
