Chapter 260: Strange Customs

"Ah~ah~ah......" The screams in the delivery room were higher and higher, but the strange thing was that most of them were Zhang Shiyi's voice, Qu Yi's voice was much smaller, Ma Ye kept holding his stomach and forced himself to laugh, and the bearded guest glared at him while asking Li Xiu again, until then Li Xiu had the opportunity to whisper a few words in his ear, but the bearded guest also turned dark after hearing it, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, not knowing what he was thinking.

Giving birth to a child is not something that can be born in a while, especially Qu Yi is not only young, but also born prematurely, and the risk during childbirth is also greater, Li Xiu originally thought it was interesting to let Zhang Shiyi suffer a little, but when he really stood outside the delivery room, he had no intention of making fun of Zhang Shiyi at all, he only cared about Qu Yi's mother and son inside, as for Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang, their palms were clenched, and their faces were full of nervous expressions, and they seemed to be worried about Qu Yi.

It wasn't until nearly two watches in the evening that there was a loud cry of a baby in the delivery room, which made everyone outside breathe a sigh of relief, and after a while, I saw the red whisk girl rubbing her hands and walking out to the bearded guest: "Big brother, it's a granddaughter, mother and daughter are safe!" ”

Hearing the words of the Red Whisker Girl, the bearded guest couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then he asked with some worry, "What about Eleven, how is he?" ”

When the red whisk girl heard the eldest brother mention Zhang Shiyi, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile at the moment, and only after a while did she speak: "I don't know the situation of Eleven, he is upstairs, wait for me to clean up Quyi's mother and daughter and carry her back deliberately, you can go up and take a look at him!" ”

"Li Xiu, what's wrong with that Zhang Shiyi, why did you call so loudly just now?" Princess Pingyang finally let go of her worries about Qu Yi at this time, and came to Li Xiu's side with Yi Niang and asked, after all, Zhang Shiyi's screams just now were so miserable that people had to wonder what he had experienced inside?

"This ...... You better ask Qu Yi later! Li Xiu couldn't hold back a smile at this time, and it was at this time that Li Xiu had the heart to laugh at Zhang Shiyi.

"Is it so mysterious?" Princess Pingyang saw that Li Xiu didn't say anything, and she was also a little dissatisfied at the moment, and then she walked over to ask Ma Ye, but Ma Ye, who was smiling so hard that her stomach hurt, refused to say, which made her helpless to wait for Qu Yi's mother and daughter to come out.

This delivery room is actually very simple, after giving birth, Qu Yi's mother and daughter must still live in the original bedroom, so after a while, I saw Qu Yi being carried out of the delivery room by several maids, and the newborn little guy was also lying beside her, Li Xiu curiously leaned over to take a look, only to see that this little guy had red skin, and his little face and hands were all wrinkled, how ugly it was.

"It's so ugly, do all premature babies look like this?" Li Xiu couldn't help but whisper to himself when he saw this ugly little guy, he remembered that in the TV series of later generations, the children who were just born were all white and fat, each one was cuter than the other, why was it so ugly when he came to Qu Yi?

"The child was born like this, what does it have to do with premature birth, when you were born, you were uglier than this child!" The red whisk girl's ears were sharp, and she couldn't help glaring at him when she heard Li Xiu's words.

Li Xiu didn't dare to talk to the red-whisked girl, he smiled and didn't say anything at the moment, in fact, he seemed to have heard of the fact that the newborn child was ugly before, but he had never seen it, and today he finally opened his eyes, and the newborn child was even uglier than him.

When they came to the second floor, they saw Zhang Shiyi lying on the ground in a sweat, as if the child was born to him, and when he saw the bearded guest, Zhang Shiyi suddenly got up, hugged the thigh of the bearded guest, and cried with a "wow~", as if he had suffered some great grievance.

"Brother Eleven, you have suffered!" Li Xiu wanted to make a heavy expression at this time, but for some reason, he couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Zhang Shiyi's embarrassed appearance, as for Ma Ye, he covered his mouth and turned his back, shrugged his shoulders, and knew what he was doing without asking, which made Li Jing next to him keep glaring at him.

"Li Xiu! Tell me, did you know about it? Zhang Shiyi suddenly raised his head at this time, stared at Li Xiu with red eyes and asked, if Li Xiu had explained this matter to him yesterday, I am afraid he would not have agreed anyway, and it would be too late to regret it later.

"Okay, Eleventh brother, I admit that I did know about this matter in advance, but Qu Yi asked me not to tell you, so you can't blame me for this matter!" Li Xiu spread his hands at this time, he was also telling the truth, when building this delivery room, Qu Yi had told him about this custom and asked him to keep it secret, so Zhang Shiyi couldn't blame him.

"You...... I ......" Zhang Shiyi didn't know what to say when he heard Li Xiu's words, and finally suddenly hugged the bearded guest again and cried bitterly, this custom is even more terrible than his resemblance, if he knew this, he would not agree to follow the customs of Qu Yi even if he died.

The bearded guest comforted Zhang Shiyi again, and then suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly lifted the hem of Zhang Shiyi's robe at the moment, and then fiddled with it a few times before he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, I have already untied the rope, and it is only some skin trauma, which will not affect the birth of children in the future!" ”

"Still alive? I'm not going to be alive if I die! Zhang Shiyi screamed in pain when he heard this, which made Ma Ye next to him laugh even more happily, and even Li Xiu almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

In fact, it is not surprising that Zhang Shiyi has this reaction, who would have thought that Qu Yi and their hometown would have such a strange custom, in the city-state of Ohaktong, when a woman gives birth, her husband has to sit in the small building above, and then tie the children and grandchildren with a rope, and the rope is in the woman's hand at the other end, so that the woman will tighten the rope painfully when she gives birth, it is said that this is done to let the man experience the pain of the woman when she gives birth.

Zhang Shiyi couldn't walk at all at this time, Li Xiu helped carry it down, the cave room was already occupied by Qu Yi's mother and daughter, so Zhang Shiyi could only live in the guest room, and after arranging Zhang Shiyi, Li Xiu and Ma Ye came to the outside of the courtyard, and then laughed loudly, Zhang Shiyi is probably the saddest groom official in the world, not only did the wedding night not only fail to have a spring night, but almost became a eunuch, and it is estimated that it will also leave a psychological shadow in the future.

In the next few days, Princess Yiniang and Princess Pingyang also came to visit Qu Yi and the child every day, especially the child was born a month prematurely, and it was relatively weak after birth, which really made people worry about her safety, you must know that in the era of Datang, the infant mortality rate is very high, but maybe the vitality of this mixed-race child is stronger, or Qu Yi's body is relatively strong, this premature baby girl is very healthy, according to Yiniang, her appetite is surprisingly big, and she feels like she has grown up in just a few days. The skin is also not as wrinkled as when it was first born, and it looks much prettier.

On this day, Li Xiu once again accompanied Yiniang and Princess Pingyang to the bearded guest, the two women went into the inner house to talk to Qu Yi, and Li Xiu came to the guest room to visit Zhang Shiyi, after a few days of recuperation, Zhang Shiyi was already able to walk at this time, but the posture when walking was a little strange, and the bearded guest was also here, chatting with Zhang Shiyi about something, when he saw Li Xiu, he also stood up and said: "Virtuous nephew, I will go back in a few days, so Eleven and their wife will ask you to take care of it!" ”

"Uncle, why do you have to go back so soon?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, the bearded guest only stayed for a few days last time, and this time he only stayed for a few days before leaving, but he just came back from the Americas, so he didn't need to be so busy, right?

"Hehe, if you don't go, you can't go, you also know that I have reached an agreement with the city-state of Ohaktong in the Americas, and I am going to build a port there and transport the silver they produce, last time I came back in a bit of a hurry, and I am not familiar with the route, so I only brought back a small amount of silver, but this silver alone is already several times the cost of my trip to sea, I can't give up such a big profit, so I plan to organize a second fleet to the Americas!" The bearded guest said with a smile at this time.

He was a pirate and a maritime merchant, a merchant who always pursued profit, not to mention that he had a bigger plan in the Americas, which needed to be prepared in advance, and he was not too young, so he was not willing to waste any time.

"Okay, that little nephew can only wish you a smooth journey, as for the eleventh brother, you don't have to worry, I will definitely take care of them!" Li Xiu also understood what the bearded guest was thinking, and he didn't persuade him to stay at the moment, but nodded and said.

"Thank you, Brother Li, but I think I can take care of myself!" Zhang Shiyi opened his mouth when he heard this, but his next sentence still revealed a little resentment towards Li Xiu in his heart.

"Haha, Brother Eleven, we will be neighbors in the future, so naturally we have to take care of each other!" Li Xiu didn't care about Zhang Shiyi's resentment, but laughed out loud and said words to take care of each other, which very skillfully resolved the hard thorns in Zhang Shiyi's words.

"See it, this is called mind, put away your little belly chicken intestines!" The bearded man glared at Zhang Shiyi at this time, and after speaking, he glanced at Li Xiu again, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity, why didn't he have such an excellent son, otherwise he could have left the matter of opening up the Americas to his son to take his time, instead of taking everything by himself.

The bearded guest was leaving, and Li Xiu was also ready to see him off, but at this moment, an incident suddenly happened, interrupting the bearded guest's plan to leave Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
