(Xie: Book friends 30473975, moshaocong, Fengmu Chunjiang, 100 possible and other brothers' rewards and monthly passes.) )
On the evening of July 26, Lan Xinhui's stomach began to ache after dinner, and everyone in the Wang family immediately became nervous, because Lan Xinhui's delivery date was at the end of July, and it seemed that the melon was about to ripen.
The Wang family immediately became nervously busy, welcoming the first child of the Wang family is the top priority, although as early as a few days ago, the most experienced midwife in Chengdu has been invited to be ready to deal with it, but when it comes to the end, everyone is still helpless and clueless. The women in the family are all people who have never had this kind of experience, and they all gathered around Lan Xinhui's yard to watch, but everyone could have any constructive opinions, and could only watch helplessly as Lan Xinhui's sweat beads rolled in pain on the bed.
Fortunately, the midwife was experienced and able to stabilize the scene, and after carefully inspecting it, she told everyone that it was indeed a sign before childbirth. So he instructed the maidservants to prepare scissors, braziers, and hot water. boiled a bowl of ginseng soup for Lan Xinhui to drink, so that she had more physical strength when she gave birth. From the first shift to the second watch, Lan Xinhui's abdominal pain began to worsen, and the time for delivery finally came.
Wang Yuan walked around the yard like an ant on a hot pot, asking if things were fully prepared, asking Lan Xinhui if it hurt badly, and asking if the house was so hot and dry that she needed to wipe her body to cool down. The midwife was very irritated by Wang Yuan's harassment, so she finally couldn't bear to ask Wang Yuan to leave here, so as not to disturb the major event of the midwifery. The scene of being scolded by a midwife is rare in the world.
At the beginning of the second watch, a loud cry resounded in the night sky, Lan Xinhui successfully gave birth, and Wang Yuan's first child finally came to the world. Wang Yuan heard this loud cry outside the courtyard, and he was at a loss with excitement, and rushed into the courtyard with a hurry. ran into the eldest sister Huang Ying who rushed over, and the eldest sister shouted: "Brother Wang, give birth, give birth." But it's a ......."
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "I'll see for myself." ”
With that, he rushed up to the porch and took a few steps into the house. In the house, Li Xin'er, Qingyun'er, Ziyun'er and others stood by the bed to visit, and a pink child was held in the hands of the midwife and was wiping her body with warm water.
Wang Yuan shouted excitedly and rushed up, staring at the newborn child. The midwife sighed, and said to Wang Yuan anxiously: "Master, big and small, stay ...... Or not stay. ”
Wang Yuan thanked him in his mouth, and he didn't understand what it meant to stay or not to stay, he only looked at the child who was struggling and writhing and crying for a moment, and his heart was infinitely tender.
As a human being in two lives, Wang Yuan has his own flesh and blood for the first time. Although he is already nearly middle-aged, he is still a bachelor, and he can't talk about having children if he is not married. Having a child here at the age of nineteen, Wang Yuan felt incredible and had a sense of fulfillment in life.
"Erlang, it's a girl." Li Xin'er stood aside and said in a low voice.
Wang Yuan was unconscious, reached out and stroked the baby's pink skin, smiling like a flower on his face.
"Erlang, it's a girl." Li Xin'er said in a low voice.
Wang Yuan felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, several wives and concubines did not come to congratulate, and then looked at the bed, the exhausted Lan Xinhui was crying.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yuan said strangely, stepped forward to hold Lan Xinhui's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, the child was born, I became a father, why are you crying?" Happy? ”
Lan Xinhui nodded slightly, but her tears kept flowing: "Erlang, I'm sorry, I couldn't give you a boy, I just ...... Just a daughter. ”
Wang Yuan finally understood the reason for the dull atmosphere in the room and Lan Xinhui's tears, not only laughed and said, "Are you unhappy about this?" It's good to have a daughter, aren't you all women? Why do you still think it's bad to have a girl? Look, what a lovely little girl, she will be a character who will captivate the country and the city in the future, I like it very much. ”
Li Xin'er said: "Erlang is not disappointed? ”
Wang Yuan laughed and said, "What are you disappointed about? I'm very happy. Boys and girls are my Wang Yuan's flesh and blood, what is there to be disappointed in. Aren't you happy, everyone, you're all mothers? For the sake of our daughter, I have to put on a big feast and have a lively time. ”
Li Xin'er, Qingyun'er and others breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Erlang didn't care that the first child was a girl. There is a bad habit among the people of the Tang Dynasty that the first child of a large family must have a boy, which indicates that the people are prosperous. Because the first child is a girl, many families do not hesitate to drown the newborn girl, so as not to affect the offspring. Lan Xinhui asked for a fortune teller to predict that it was a boy before giving birth, and now she gave birth to a girl, and she was both worried and disappointed in her heart, so she was in pain. But in fact, Wang Yuan didn't understand these bad habits, and he didn't have the idea of men and women, so he was worried in vain.
"Erlang, don't you really blame the slave?" Lan Xinhui looked at Wang Yuan in a daze, afraid that Wang Yuan was saying the opposite.
Wang Yuan held her hand, leaned over and kissed her cheek and said, "What's weird?" I don't know how happy I am. We have children, are you happy to be a mother? ”
Lan Xinhui breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded: "Happy, very happy." ”
The midwife who delivered the baby was also very happy, and she didn't know how many children had been born in her hands, but she didn't know how many girls had drowned. Large families usually give birth to a girl for the first time, and the host family orders to drown without even looking at it. The midwife thought that she was going to make another sin today, but she didn't expect the festival to make the eldest master not care at all, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.
"The blood in the room is heavy, please move the old man and his wife temporarily, and let the mother recuperate, so as not to fall into confinement disease. After the children have been washed and swaddled, the lord and his wife can come in to visit. The midwife smiled and said that as a midwife, she couldn't deliver a boy, and she also felt that she had an unshirkable responsibility.
When everyone came out of the room, Wang Yuan stood under the porch and laughed, dancing happily. For the rest of the month, there is finally something happy to do. The birth of my daughter hopes to give me a good turn.
"I'll go to the study to flip through the books and give the child a good name, Twelve Niang, you have taken care of your hard work here. I'll take a look at it later. Wang Yuan strode away with a smile.
Li Xin'er and the other women stood under the porch and looked at each other. Li Xin'er frowned and asked Qingyun'er, "Sister Qing'er, do you think Erlang is really happy?" ”
Qingyun'er thought for a while and said, "It should be true, Erlang is an open-minded person, there is no need for him to pretend to be happy." ”
"Of course Jiro is really happy, I don't think there is anything to doubt about in this matter. I don't understand, what's wrong with giving birth to a girl? I think it's good. Princess Arlo said in a deep voice.
Li Xin'er glanced at A Luo and said: "You are a Nanzhao woman, naturally you don't know my Datang people's thoughts, just don't mention this matter, in short, Erlang is happy, and our family can be regarded as an import." But you have to listen well, and whoever of you is pregnant, you'd better give me a boy. Otherwise, this girl's sin will be great. ”
The women's faces were slightly red, and they were silent.
Wang Yuan named his newborn eldest daughter Shunhua, which was taken from the Book of Songs. Zheng Feng" in the sentence "There is a lesbian car, Yan is like Shunhua, there are female peers, Yan is like Shunying". Wang Yuan thought that in the future, if there was another daughter who could be named Shunying, there would be no need to rack his brains.
A few days later, the Wang family really believed that Wang Yuan really didn't care about the fact that the firstborn gave birth to a daughter. Because Wang Yuan had nothing to do, he hugged this daughter and amused, and his love was beyond words. Everyone gradually let go of this thought. It's just that for some reason, Lan Xinhui's body has been difficult to recover after giving birth, I don't know if it was because she was too frightened to learn that she gave birth to a girl, or because of excessive blood loss during childbirth, which caused her body to weaken, in short, she has been sick, which makes people anxious.
One day in early August, Wang Yuan got up from a nap, went to amuse the eldest lady, talked to Lan Xinhui for a while, and then came to the front hall to prepare to go to the festival to make the yamen sit in the hall. Just as he was changing his clothes and preparing his horses, a guard came to Wang Yuan and saluted.
"The villain Sun Xiaoshan has seen the handsome."
Wang Yuan snorted casually, arranging his clothes and hat.
The guard hesitated, stood in front of him and did not leave, Wang Yuan was a little strange, looked up at him and asked, "What?" Is there something wrong? ”
The guard arched his hand and said, "Don't you know the villain?" The villain's father is a guide who accompanies Dashuai into the desert in Yazhou. ”
Wang Yuan remembered, it turned out that this Sun Xiaoshan was the son of the old guide in Yazhou, and he promised the old guide to let his son enter his own guard camp, but now it seems that Zhao Qing or Tan Ping have already done this matter, and Wang Yuan didn't ask more about it.
"Oh, it turns out that you are the youngest son of the old man, and you have entered the guard camp? Very good, very good, when did you join the army? ”
"Handsome, just a month ago. General Zhao Qing personally arranged for me to be the personal guard of the marshal. The villain thanked the handsome for his kindness. ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "No thanks, what I promised your father was going to be done." Be a good errand, don't be lazy, and don't discredit your father. ”
Sun Xiaoshan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the villain will never be lazy, and he must be a good errand." ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Very good, go to Lamalai, I'm going to Yamen." ”
Sun Xiaoshan hesitated and didn't move, Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Do you have something to say?" ”
Sun Xiaoshan smacked his lips and said: "The villain is abrupt, there is indeed something to report to the handsome, that is, ...... It is...... The villain's parents came to Chengdu from Yazhou and wanted to meet the handsome. ”
Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "Your father and mother are here?" Where? ”
Sun Xiaoshan said: "I came in the morning, and I have been outside the gate of the mansion, and the villain does not dare to see them without the permission of the marshal." ”
Wang Yuan laughed and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and call your father and mother into the house, and it's good to have a cup of tea and catch up. Go, go, go. ”
Sun Xiaoshan smiled, hurriedly agreed, and went out quickly.
