In the Spring Festival of 1905 (the year of Yisi, the thirty-first year of Guangxu), Lu Shan commanded the troops to open Shendan Fort and made the first contribution to the annihilation of the First Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry. Shen Danbao was shrouded in fireworks, and the dead and wounded. Thousands of miles away, the Admiral's Mansion in Jinan City was also shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

The wife of Long Qian, the governor of Shandong, encountered a difficult birth and was struggling with death. In the huge Admiral's Palace, there were not even firecrackers to welcome the new year.

From last night to now, Chen Shu has been tossing and turning in the makeshift delivery room for nearly ten hours, but the child with an improper fetal position still cannot be born. It is also thanks to Chen Shu's physique, which has been practicing martial arts all year round, that her physique is better than that of ordinary women, and she can't hold on to it if she is someone else.

This is called "Kou Sheng", since ancient times when medicine was extremely underdeveloped, it was a great test of life and death for mothers. Zheng Zhuanggong, one of the traitorous males recorded in Zuo Biography, was born in reverse, so his mother did not like him, and instead favored his young son, and directed a tragedy of fratricidal brotherhood. And Zheng Zhuanggong was also ridiculed by historians for his hypocrisy.

In this case, the doctor who was invited to ask the master whether he wanted an adult or a child as usual, and even the exhausted You Shi thought that it was natural to have a choice, but this sentence annoyed Long Qian, who had been waiting outside, and he drove the sweaty doctor out of the room, regardless of You Shi's dissuasion, broke into the delivery room, and held his wife's hand, "Hold on!" Hold on for a little longer, and there's a way! Believe me! ”

"To keep the child's ......" Chen Shu had exhausted her strength, and she was weak to speak.

"Don't worry, the child must be protected, and you must be protected. Whoever dares to let me choose again, I will kill him! ”

Long Qian cherishes his niece. Naturally, Chen Chao was pleased. But the famous doctors in Jinan Prefecture have been invited, but they are all helpless.

"Retreat," Chen Chao asked You Shi to call out Long Qian, "You have to make a decision early!" ”

Heirs are more important than wives and concubines, this is the reality. Chen Chao couldn't persuade Long Qian to give up his children to keep his adult, and Long Qian had such a status and such a foundation, and he only had one son under his knees......

"That's! Where did the child come from without a mother? I already sent someone to Qingdao yesterday, and the German doctor will be there soon! Hearing movement in the yard, "Are you coming?" ”

"It's coming!" Ouyang Zhong replied loudly.

"Oh my God! It's finally here! Long Qian greeted the door.

"Do you really want to cut Shu'er's belly?" You panicked.

"Now it's up to him. We can't object to ......" Chen Chao wiped the sweat from his forehead. Also out of the house.

After confirming that the fetal position was not correct and could not be smoothed over, Long Qian actually proposed a "caesarean section", which surprised everyone, including You Shi and Chen Xian, who was already pregnant with Liujia who came from Dongchang.

How can there be such a way? None of the doctors at the Fifth Town Hospital dared to perform such an "operation". Even Qi Shangming, the medical director of the fifth town, who had studied in the United States, did not dare to do it. Helpless. Long Qian sent his adjutant Ouyang Zhong to Qingdao by train with his own handwritten letter to invite German military doctors.

The relevant surgical preparations have been prepared in accordance with Long Qian's orders. It's in the West Wing. Zhang Hongcao, Sun Juan and others have been waiting in the Dragon Mansion for a day and a night.

"What are you doing here?" You Shi saw Zhang Hongcao and Sun Juan carry in a bed board covered with snow-white sheets.

"The commander said that the wife was weak, and the operation was done in the house......"

"The Germans agreed?" You asked hurriedly.

"Yes. I'm washing my hands and changing my clothes. ”

"Oh my God, how is it a man?" You Shi was even more alarmed. Where can a man be used to do this for Shu'er?

"Madam, it's important to keep Mrs. and the little son......" Sun Juan didn't care about You's anymore, and Zhang Hongcao carried the bed board into the room, and a few female soldiers carried the surgical instruments into the room.

Long Qian came in with a calm face, everyone hurriedly got out of the way, he entered the house, You Shi followed, Chen Chao wanted to go in, but he still stopped.

Two foreigners in white coats, one tall and one short, came in, and Chen Chao stretched out his hand to stop them.

"Mr. Chen, this is Dr. Harry's military doctor, he is Dr. Harry's assistant......" Ouyang Zhong introduced in a low voice.

Long Qian came out and beckoned to the two German military doctors. The Germans, in the astonishment of everyone, lifted the curtain and entered the delivery room.

It is said that her husband cannot stay in the delivery room, but Long Qian did not come out until the end of the operation.

The time was extremely long, and the unrelated personnel were all invited by Adjutant Ouyang, including senior generals such as Ning Shijun, Wang Mingyuan, Situ Jun, and Ye Yanbing, as well as officials such as Bai Ruiting. Ouyang Zhong was left in the house to accompany Chen Chao, and the panicked Chen Xian and Chen Zhi sisters and brothers.

You Shi, Sun and Zhang, two of Long Qian's old subordinates, have stayed in the delivery room.

Finally, a loud cry of a baby was heard in the house!

Chen Chao stood up Teng, he was most concerned about his niece's safety.

"Congratulations, sir, my wife is fine, she is a son." Sun Juan, who had blood on her hands, came out and told Chen Shu's family the news.

Chen Chao sat on the ground.

"I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......" You Shi seemed to collapse, came out and grabbed her husband's hand, and spoke incoherently.

"Ouyang, you arrange a table of dinner, and let them accompany Captain Harry for me." Long Qian came out and said a word to the adjutant.

Dr. Harry and his assistant came out of the delivery room and were accompanied by Ouyang Zhong.

After a while, Sister-in-law Zhang, who had been accompanying Chen Shu, came out with the child in her arms, "Take a look, master, what a spiritual child......"

"This almost rebel!" Chen Chao's mood calmed down a little, and when he said this, he still leaned over to look at the doll, "Xiaoxian, you go and see your sister." ”

"It's still my brother-in-law who has a way." Chen Xian finally put her heart in her stomach.

"You have suffered...... Does it hurt? Long Qian sat on the edge of the bed and held his wife's hand.

"No, it doesn't hurt." Chen Shu looked happy.

After the servant woman bathed the baby, she brought it back to Chen Shu and let Chen Shu take a closer look, Chen Shu said to Long Qian, who was guarding her, "You must have already thought of a name for the child, right?" ”

"Ha Luha, of course. Since he is a boy, of course he follows his brother, so he will be called Xinghua. Nickname, you can call it as you like. I have no opinion. ”

"Xinghua, Xinghua," Chen Shu chewed on the name that pinned her husband's ideals, "Okay, it's Xinghua." ”

In the third year of junior high school, Xu Wenfu came back from Longfu and said to his daughter Xu Xue, "There is a legend of caesarean section in the West, but I have never seen it." Lord Long deserves to have grown up in the United States, if it were someone else. I'm afraid I can only keep one. ”

The admiral's wife was given birth by disemboweling her belly by Dr. Yang, and it has spread all over Jinan officialdom. It also reached Xu Wenfu's ears. Out of gratitude to Long Qian for his strong support for the school, Xu Wenfu and his wife brought gifts to Longfu to congratulate them, and returned after lunch in Longfu.

"This law should be promoted! An unknown number of pregnant women die in dystocia every year...... Mom, have you seen Mrs. Long? ”

"Nope. After all, someone has a knife in the stomach! God! Is that okay too? Let the man do it! Mrs. Xu shook her head.

"You guys. It's just too stupid! Xu Xue said dissatisfied. If it were me, would you rather me die than let the male doctor touch me? ”

"What nonsense! A daughter's home! Xu Wenfu said dissatisfied.

Xu Xue turned her head and left. I went back to my house. Mr. and Mrs. Xu Wenfu looked at each other and were deeply worried.

Another year has passed! Soon, Xu Xue will turn twenty years old. My daughter's marriage has become a big problem!

The family affair in Suzhou is also yellow, people come to the door for thousands of miles, Xu Xue actually hides and disappears, threatening them, if she forces her, she will run away from home!

"I'm in charge of my marriage!" Xu Xue was not accommodating, "My own family has a lifelong plan, why bother to advocate it!" ”

What is this called? The Xu family is a scholarly family, no men remarry, no women remarry, why did they give birth to such a rebellious daughter? The marriage of children has always been decided by the parents, the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the rules left by the ancestors!

"My own original lifelong plan? There has never been such a rule! Xu Wenfu went crazy with anger.

"Since Pangu opened the world, the three emperors and five emperors have been up to now, are there any rules for the constitution of the hypocrite? It can be seen that the trend is difficult to disobey, and the rules are also set by people! Xu Xue showed no weakness.

"Where can this compare?" Xu Wenfu regretted letting his daughter pretend to study, and now the constitutionalism is disturbing, and even Jiao Juyin, Qiu Muchun and other professors are keen on it, writing articles and books, and shouting for the constitution. It seems that as long as the constitution is established, China's affairs will be solved.

"How can it not be compared? How has there ever been a women's school in history? ”

"Even if there is a girls' school, I will not allow you to go to school again! A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and it is a big mistake if the words of a saint are not respectful! ”

"Father, you have been in the West for eleven years in vain!" Xu Xue didn't give Xu Wenfu a step at all, "It seems that revolution is due, only a thorough revolution can transform the decadent China!" ”

"Shut up! The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate. ”

The marriage is still yellow. The Zhang family heard that Xu Xue was disguised as a man to go to school in Shandong University, and they kept silent about their children's marriage. In Xu Wenfu's view, even the old friendship has been broken. In a fit of rage, he forced Xu Xue to suspend school and go home. But the news that Xu Xue is daughter came out of nowhere, and he has always been good friends with Xu Wenfu, and Master Hu, who has always been good friends with Xu Wenfu and respects Xu Wenfu very much, once joked that Xu Wenfu was the first to open the atmosphere. This is not a good word, and for a time Xu Wenfu had the idea of retreating.

This was last winter. As a result, the father and daughter were estranged and rarely spoke to each other. Hearing this, his son Xu Yong wrote a letter to comfort his father, and his sister-in-law's marriage still had to take into account her feelings, the times are really different. The Shanghai Concession held a ball, and the officials all took their wives and ladies to dance with the foreigners.

When Xu Wenfu was in France, he had seen a ball, and men and women hugged each other, which was simply immoral and unsightly! Unexpectedly, there was a ball in the land of the Qing Dynasty! Xu Wenfu did not doubt that his son's words were apocryphal, and he had also heard of this news.

The air in Jinan is generally conservative, although there are many novelties every day, such as electric lights, telephones, Western medicine, books and newspapers, and football and basketball games that never thought of appearing in Jinan! But in politics and customs, it seems conservative, and foreigners are also well-behaved, at least there is no such dance.

Thinking of football, Xu Wenfu couldn't help but shake his head. He had seen football, especially the British and Germans, and was very obsessed with it. Dedicated clubs have also been established. But the football game in Jinan was brought by the Fifth Town, and it was undoubtedly introduced by Long Qian, a guy who grew up overseas. The army already has several teams, and every time they play, they attract a large number of thugs to watch the game. Its victory and defeat are also in the newspapers! It's just boring!

He can't control the affairs of the army, but the problem is that now even the academy has organized a team. The stadium and the soccer ball were built with the help of the army, and a game was played in the school last week, between the school and the Huayuan Gun Factory, and a group of green-skinned boys wore short clothes with exposed arms and thighs tossing and turning on the field on a cold day, surrounded by shouting and cheering spectators. The school team defeated the visiting opponent by one goal, and the students cheered and shouted, which was even happier than the festival. In addition, even the young instructors participated, and it is said that there were also those who gambled on the outcome of the game. What's more, it is rumored that a football league will be organized, and regular competitions will be held, and the teams of the army will participate, which is simply incredible. The Admiral, who is steady and far-sighted, why did he connive at his officers and soldiers to come like this? He also said that although football is a trail, it is not without benefit to cultivating the sense of teamwork of officers and men and enhancing their physical fitness. There are so many ways to train soldiers, so why bother engaging in such a crazy game?

Fortunately, he detained Xiaoxue at home. Otherwise, a girl's house, watching naked men toss around the court, how can he be embarrassed?

"Master, Xiaoxue is stubborn, you have to take your time." Madame explained.

"You're used to it! It's just ruining the doorway! Xu Wenfu glared at his wife, completely forgetting that he had strongly encouraged his daughter to read and write. (To be continued......)
