Chapter 316: Su Jing (Third Watch)
A tinnitus was not half better until the two of them walked down the city, looking at Su Yan's face full of dust, Su Baiyi smiled and said: "Look at you, you are a little beggar, how dangerous the city is, what are you doing up there?" ”
Su Yan chirped: "You are a beggar!" ”
"Huh......" Su Baiyi said in surprise: "How did you get up?" As he spoke, he pointed to the city.
Su Yan shrank his head and smiled, and said, "I was holding a stone, they asked me, and I said that I was assisting in defending the city, and then I saw General Geng, and General Geng pointed me out a location and I came." ”
"Boys and girls?" Su Baiyi asked with a smile.
"Huh?" Su Yan was stunned.
"Ahh Su Baiyi knocked her head hard: "Didn't you just say that Mei'er's sister-in-law gave birth?" Is it a boy or a girl? ”
"No, it's not ......" Su Qing said: "Mei'er's sister-in-law hasn't given birth yet, but she just feels a stomachache, and then she asked Sister Qing'er to invite Sister Qiuyue from Tongjitang to come over, saying that she is about to give birth, and she hasn't given birth yet." ”
Su Baiyi glanced at her, and her mind gradually calmed down.
Just heard that his child was born for the first time, and he was really upset.
Because he is not ready to be a good father, the child is born like this, how should he face it?
It's a very strange feeling.
Now that my mind has gradually calmed down, I feel that I have just been too anxious.
When I ate at home in the morning, Mei'er's stomach hadn't moved yet, how old was it, how could it be so fast.
"Let's go!" Su Baiyi said: "I'm going to go back and watch, I'll be worried if your sister-in-law can't see it." ”
"She won't be worried...... Su Yan pouted: "I said I was going to call you, but she wouldn't let me, if it wasn't for Sister-in-law Mu Tong secretly asked me to come, I wouldn't know where you are?" ”
"You know what?" Su Baiyi knocked on her head: "Why doesn't she want me to come, it's just that she's scared." ”
The two of them walked quickly while talking, and soon came to the cross-courtyard of the Zhou Mansion, and the heart-rending screams in the east wing made Su Baiyi feel a chill.
"Xianggong!" Shen Meishuang was outside the door, and after seeing Su Baiyi, she felt running over, and her little face turned a little pale.
Su Baiyi held her hand and said, "Don't worry, don't be afraid, giving birth to a child is like pulling poop, just use your strength." ”
Shen Meishuang sneered at what he said, and said with a red face: "That's what you said?" ”
She was just over two months pregnant, and she had only heard that giving birth to a child was dealing with the Yama Temple, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Today, I saw Yao Mei dying and coming back to life in such pain, so I was afraid.
Su Baiyi naturally knew that she was afraid, so he deliberately told her a joke.
"You're all waiting here, I'll take a look." Su Baiyi came to the door of the east wing room while talking, and reached out to pull the door, but was stopped by Shen Meishuang.
"What's wrong?" Su Baiyi asked.
"Xianggong, it's not appropriate for Xianggong to go now, it's better to wait here with you as a concubine."
"Nonsense, how inappropriate!" Su Baiyi said: "My wife is giving birth, what's wrong with me going to accompany me?" ”
"No way!" In the east wing, Yu Mutong came out with the curtain lifted and said, "Xianggong, Mei'er sister just knows that you are here, there are Qiuyue girls and two stable women to take care of it, you don't have to worry." Oh, by the way, Sister Qing'er is also helping out inside. ”
Su Baiyi then extinguished the idea of going inside to take a look, and only said to Yao Mei inside through the curtains: "Mei'er, don't be afraid, our child is definitely not ugly!" ”
Shen Meishuang couldn't help but sneer.
Yu Mutong glanced at him: "You can't speak, if you can't speak, shut up!" ”
As soon as the words were spoken, an old woman with a serious face in the room came out with a basin, lifted the curtain and said to Su Baiyi: "I said master, can you not follow the mess if you are fine, the lady inside just held her breath, and she smiled after listening to your words, and this anger went back again." ”
Burst......
Even Su Baiyi himself felt that it was too much.
Forget it.
It seems that giving birth to a child really doesn't matter what happens to men!
Su Baiyi arched her hand at the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law lowered the curtain and returned to the room.
"Then I've got to do something, right?" Su Baiyi smiled bitterly: "Why don't I go boil the pot and boil the water?" ”
"Come on!" Su Yan glanced at him: "The dignified Lord Su of the Ming Dynasty went to boil water, if this is known to others, it will poke the backbone of our Su family for three lifetimes, or I will come." ”
"Xianggong, you come!" Yu Mutong stood under the elm tree in the courtyard and waved his hand at Su Baiyi.
Su Baiyi walked over and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Yu Mutong said: "There is really something for Xianggong to come forward." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Alas!" Yu Mutong said: "It stands to reason that we live in the Zhou family's house. But as soon as this child lands, it is confinement, how can there be a confinement in someone else's house in this world. Although Zhou Lao didn't say it, we couldn't help but mention it, I mean, why don't we buy this cross-courtyard. ”
Su Baiyi nodded solemnly: "Yes, you are still thoughtful, otherwise it will be bad!" "The so-called follow the local customs, sometimes superstitious about this thing, I am afraid that you will not believe it, once you believe it, no one will be allowed to infringe on it.
And confinement is a taboo in the whole of Greater China.
Not to mention the current Ming Dynasty, even the Celestial Dynasty in the future, no one has gone to other people's houses for confinement. Even if you rent a house to live, you have to find a way to solve the confinement room by yourself in the month of confinement.
So, Su Baiyi took a hundred taels of silver to the hall of the Zhou Mansion to look for Zhou Shipu, but saw Zhou Shipu and Yuan Keli playing chess in the study.
But after walking in, Su Baiyi almost burst out laughing.
"Two seniors, this hasn't been decided yet?" Su Baiyi stepped forward with a smile.
Yuan Keli said coldly: "Old man Zhou is too deceitful, I have already made a five-star success, he has to regret chess, hey, the older he gets, the more shameful he is." ”
The two played backgammon, and after a while, the winner was separated, although Zhou Shipu repented of chess, but the result was still Yuan Keli's victory.
"You kid, don't you guard the city well, what are you doing here with our two old men?" Zhou Shipu took the chess pieces in his hand again and said, "Come on, the old man will have another game." ”
"Alright, you stinky chess basket." Yuan Keli waved his hand.
Su Baiyi hunched over and told the reason, and took out two snow-white silver ingots of fifty taels from his arms and put them on the table: "In the troubled times, I am grateful to Zhou Lao for taking in the family, but this folk gift cannot be wasted, so the kid is willing to buy the cross-courtyard." ”
"Your wife is going to give birth?" Yuan Keli was a little surprised.
Zhou Shipu put away the two ingots of silver and said: "There is no way to do it, you don't need to care about this, this courtyard will be yours from now on." ”
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......" Yuan Keli patted the table and said: "You old man who is greedy for money, you dare to sell a hundred taels across the courtyard, you, you are really dark enough." ”
"Black?" Zhou Shipu said: "This kid can't spend a lot of money, the old man is not black, he is black, I want to keep more silver to prevent old age." ”
"Cut!" Yuan Keli said: "The older you get, the more greedy you are, come and come, and the old man will accompany you to kill again." ”
The matter was settled, Su Baiyi didn't have the heart to watch them play chess, and hurried home again.
The east wing room is still the same as before, and the eyebrows are heartbreaking, but after screaming for a while, the voice has become much hoarse. The two Wen Po and Qiu Yue are very experienced, but Yao Mei is giving birth for the first time, the birth canal is too cramped, and the child is not painful to give birth.
Minutes and seconds passed.
At more than five o'clock in the afternoon, with a loud cry, the tired and half-dead Yao Mei finally gave birth to the child.
Su Baiyi stood up from the stone pier, his legs were numb, and he almost sat on the ground, and said with emotion: "For such a long time, my legs are so numb that I can't stand it, sir, and it's really hard work." ”
Before the words fell, the curtain in the east wing room was lifted with a "hula", and the stable woman who had just gone out to "teach" Su Baiyi smiled and said, "Mr. Su is very happy, your wife gave birth to a big fat boy!" ”
"Ah......" Yu Mutong's body trembled, and the arm holding Su Baiyi was trembling.
She was stabbed in Baguanzhai, and there was basically no hope of production in this life, so the task of importing Ding for the Su family naturally fell on the two concubines. Although Yu Mutong was a little disappointed in her heart, she was more excited than all after all.
Anyway, I can't give birth to myself, and the two younger sisters can give birth to a son for the Su family, which is better than a girl.
"Good, good, good!" Su Baiyi took a deep breath and said three good words in a row.
He does not have the concept of patriarchy, but in this era, he always has to adapt to the requirements of this era. To put it simply, with a son, the Su family's big family business has finally been inherited. There will no longer be the situation where Mrs. Yu came to her son-in-law to ask for the family property.
"Master......" Su Yan fell to his knees with a plop, bursting into tears: "Our Su family has a queen." ”
Su Baiyi knew that the master that Su Yan was talking about was not himself, but his cheap daddy Su Xuan.
He couldn't wait to enter the house, only to see that the room had been cleaned up, Yao Mei was lying on the bed with a pale face, and a white and chubby baby was placed next to her, who was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, as if she felt the arrival of Su Baiyi, and suddenly opened her mouth to cry, and her voice was loud throughout the courtyard.
"Xianggong!" Yao Mei's pale face was covered with fine sweat, and he smiled lightly at Su Baiyi. She was very happy in her heart, not only because she gave birth to a child for Xianggong, but also because she was a boy.
This is the eldest son of the Su family.
"Good work!" Su Baiyi held her hand and said, "It's really hard for you, not only this child, but also what you have suffered for more than half a year, I'm sorry Mei'er, I couldn't protect you by your side and let you suffer." From now on, the Xiang Guild will always be by your side, and we will not be separated for the rest of our lives. ”
"Hmm!" The tears of happiness in Yao Mei's eyes swirled, and he quickly wiped them away and said, "Look what's wrong with me, today is a good day!" ”
"Of course it's a good day, we have a baby." Su Baiyi smiled warmly and looked down at the child.
"Then Xianggong, give the child a name."
"Hmm!" Su Baiyi got up, walked around the room twice and said: "This child was born in the war, and it happened that Luo Rucai was besieging the city outside, I hope he can bring me good luck and put down this thief in one fell swoop." I named him the word 'Jing', called Su Jing! ”
