The Ren family was busy looking for a matchmaker, and the Han family was busy looking for a stable wife.

As soon as Duan Jiqing wrote the letter that Master Gu had explained, he handed over the letter written to the gentry of Ba County along with the name of Master Gu to Guan Zhutou, and handed over the letter to other states and counties along with Master Gu's name to the scribe in the Chengfa room of the government office.

Duan Jiqing didn't dare to delay for a moment, trotted all the way to his daughter's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked eagerly: "What's wrong with Qin'er, did you go to call Wen Po?" ”

Duan Xu stood in front of the hall and stopped him and said, "The amniotic fluid that broke at noon, as soon as the amniotic water broke, I quickly asked my sister to call my godmother, and it was all in at this time!" ”

Duan Jiqing noticed that Xiao Qizuo was also coming, and he was busy boiling water in the kitchen, while there were bursts of painful screams in the east wing, and the screamers panicked.

"Women give birth to babies like this, especially the first child. It's okay, with the godmother here, Qin'er will definitely be fine, and the baby in her belly will be fine. With the blessing of the Bodhisattva, the mother and child will be safe. Duan Xu was not only persuading Duan Jiqing, but also persuading her to be herself, staring at the windowsill all the time, rubbing her hands nervously as she spoke.

However, when I heard that the mother who delivered the baby was a godmother, Duan Jiqing was a lot more relieved.

This godmother is not his godmother of Duan Jiqing, nor is she the godmother of the two daughters of the Duan family, let alone Han Si's godmother, but a sixty-two-year-old girl from Chu Qifang. Her family has practiced medicine for generations, her father hung the pot to help the world, her mother also helped people deliver babies when she was alive, one year a person went to her house to ask her mother to hurry up to help deliver the baby, her mother just didn't, she was worried about the safety of the mother, she actually carried the medicine box on her back, she was only sixteen years old at the time!

It's nothing if you don't help someone deliver a baby, once you help someone deliver a baby, even if you only take it once, it's a stable woman. The mother and son who called her to deliver the baby were safe, but because of this, she changed from a yellow flower girl in the boudoir to a stable woman, and she couldn't get married.

When she was twenty-one years old, there was another adultery case in Chaotianfang, and the county magistrate asked the official to go to Wen Po to check whether the woman who was sued by her fiancé's family to the yamen was as guarded as jade. This time, she is not just a stable woman who helps people deliver babies, but a stable woman who is similar to a servant, so that she can't get married.

Instead of someone else's anger to jump into the river, she didn't jump into the river, but told her father that she was not married, and since then she has been helping people deliver babies, shouting at will, I don't know how many babies have been delivered for decades, not only are they good hands and have a very good heart, and they don't take anything when they encounter a poor family.

I don't know what year it started, many families let the newborn baby recognize her as a godmother, and over time, people gradually forgot her name, and they called her godmother when they saw her.

Duan Jiqing was thinking about waiting for the baby to be born and let the baby recognize his godmother, and the pillar scooped the freshly boiled water into the bucket and lifted it: "Duan Jingcheng, the water is boiled." ”

"What's the use of telling me, I can't go in like you!"

"Give it to me, I'll send it in!" Duan Xu reacted and hurriedly lifted the bucket from the pillar's hand.

Duan Jiqing said uneasily: "By the way, ask my godmother what she lacks, if there is anything missing, I will quickly go to the street to buy it." ”

"There's nothing missing," Duan Xu said without looking back as he walked in with the bucket: "Ginseng, brown sugar, ginger, and straw paper were prepared a month ago, and I hope your daylily is cold." ”

Duan Jiqing said stupidly: "I'm not going to be busy with business." ”

Duan Xu had never been so confident, and muttered: "It's not a serious matter for Qin'er to give birth to a baby? ”

Seeing that the old couple of them were arguing, Zhu Zi couldn't help but remind: "Duan Jingcheng, the godmother said that the people outside can't make loud noises, otherwise Qin'er's sister-in-law will be even more frightened." ”

"Oh, I see."

As he was talking, a baby's cry suddenly came from inside, wow cry!

In normal times, if he is someone else's baby, Duan Jiqing, who has always liked to be quiet, must be annoyed, but at this moment, he is not only not annoyed, but he listens to the sound of heaven in his ears, and said excitedly: "Born, born, Zhuzi, you listen to how hard you cry, how loud you cry, you must be a big fat boy." ”

The pillar was also overjoyed, and was about to speak, when the younger sister who was helping inside shouted: "Master, Qin'er's sister-in-law has been born!" ”

"Male and female babies?" Duan Jiqing asked eagerly.

"Boy!"

"Good, good, great!" Duan Jiqing was so excited that he burst into tears, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Zhuzi was not as heartless as him, so he couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, what about sister-in-law, is my sister-in-law okay?" ”

"It's okay, my godmother said it's okay!"

"Thank God, Bodhisattva bless, it's okay."

……

My sister said it was okay, but now it's okay.

When the kind godmother took the baby out and handed it over to Duan Jiqing, another helping woman came out and chattered, and Duan Jiqing realized how dangerous it was just now.

It turned out that the fetal position was not correct, and I met "Hengsheng"!

Fortunately, the godmother was not chaotic and not alarmed, so she immediately let Qin'er lie on her back safely, warm her hands with hot water, first push the baby's body straight, make the baby's head to the birth door, and then probe her shoulder with her middle finger, so as not to make the umbilical cord fetters. Then hurriedly urged him with the decoction prepared earlier, and then let Qin'er work hard, so that the baby was born, and she was replaced by an inexperienced stable woman, not only the baby could not be saved, but even Qin'er's life might not be saved.

Duan Jiqing was shocked into a cold sweat, hurriedly handed over the newborn grandson to his wife, hugged his fists and bowed and said: "Godmother, you are the reborn parents of the little girl, please accept the worship of Duan's son-in-law and little daughter!" ”

"Master Duan, I can't help it, I can't help it."

"Make, make, godmother, you can afford this worship." After Duan Jiqing finished worshipping, he took out a stack of money tickets, gave them with both hands without counting them, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Godmother, this is a little bit of Duan's heart, don't be polite." ”

"Master Duan, there are too many, how can you use so much!"

"Not much, not much at all," Duan Jiqing was worried that she wouldn't accept it, so he simply stuffed the money ticket to the Wen Po who helped, and then turned around and said: "Zhuzi, hurry up and go to Chaijia Lane to report to Master Gu, just say that your sister-in-law has a male baby!" ”

"Great!"

"Wait, after the report, I will go to the county government by the way, and ask if anyone has gone to Zhumagang in the past two days, the Han family has such a big event, no matter how busy he is, he has to send a letter to Zhixing's father."

"You know, I'll go."

Seeing the pillar away, Duan Jiqing hugged his little grandson again from his wife's hand, and grinned: "Look at this brow, it looks like his father, it would be good if Zhixing was at home, if Zhixing knew that Qin'er gave birth to a boy for him, he would definitely be happy to eat." ”

"Of course he was happy, but he suffered my Qin'er and almost lost his life for helping him give birth to a baby." Duan Xu muttered.
