Chapter 8: Destiny
Zheng Yingzhi and An Junlan were pregnant and gave birth in the same month and year in the same year, and there was little difference at this hour. When Zheng Yingzhi was about to give birth, Gongsun Hong personally went to Ningfu to ask Ning Taiyi, and An Junlan also gave birth in the past two days. Gongsun Hong said that his wife must ask Imperial Doctor Ning to come over to feel at ease, and Gongsun Hong loves his wife so much that he can only come in person.
The prime minister personally invited the imperial doctor, which can be said to be unheard of. Ning Zhongxin could have refused, but he didn't know if it was out of the prime minister's order or out of love for many years, so he gave Junlan a pulse and explained that he went out of the mansion with the prime minister.
An Junlan has a weak character and has never been involved in Ning Zhongxin's affairs. But after many years of husband and wife, she also knows that whenever she mentions Zheng Wancheng's daughter Ning Zhongxin, she is always uncomfortable. Even on the wedding night, An Junlan vaguely heard Ning Zhongxin calling Yingzhi. But An Junlan didn't hear it clearly, she just remembered Ning Zhongxin's expression when she saw her for the first time, and the moment from surprise to indifference was always a knot in her heart. An Junlan didn't know how similar she was to Zheng Yingzhi.
Not long after Ning Zhongxin left, the fragmented thoughts between the mothers-in-law of the Imperial Doctor's Mansion reached An Junlan's ears. Probably that is: Imperial Doctor Ning and Mrs. Prime Minister are childhood sweethearts. An Junlan's expression changed greatly, and her abdominal pain continued.
"Cuiliu ~ Cuiliu ~"
"Madame!"
"Quick, I look like I'm going to give birth......"
"Someone, someone!" Cuiliu helped An Junlan to the bed, calmly and calmly coped with everything that happened in front of her, Madame was not in the mansion where Imperial Doctor Ning was in such a big matter, and the others were in a mess, fortunately, the stable woman in the mansion was personally selected by Imperial Doctor Ning some time ago. After Cuiliu made arrangements, she rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask the master to come back.
Zheng Yingzhi's production went very smoothly, and the moment Ning Zhongxin heard that the child landed, he seemed to feel relieved. He suddenly thought about An Junlan very much, his mind was full of her appearance, and her smile was all in front of him. He didn't realize when he fell in love with An Junlan. Maybe it's an umbrella on a rainy day, maybe it's a pick-up at the dinner table, or maybe it's her serious look when she sews and mends her clothes. He didn't know, he only knew this moment. He wanted to return to An Junlan's side, and Wen Po came out to congratulate the prime minister.
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, and the son is happy."
Prime Minister Dayue: "Reward!" ”
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, Mrs. has successfully given birth, and she will retire first!" Ning Zhongxin motioned for please return.
"Imperial Doctor Ning, although my wife gave birth smoothly, she hasn't woken up for a long time, I'm really uneasy."
"The Prime Minister doesn't have to worry, Mrs. consumes too much during childbirth, and she has already prescribed medicine, so Mrs. can cultivate more in ......the future."
"Imperial Doctor Ning, don't postpone it. When my wife wakes up, I will have you sent you back in person. ”
Ning Zhongxin was not good at refusing, so he could only reluctantly agree, and at this time, he was thinking about An Junlan wholeheartedly. Someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to report, and the Cuiliu girl from the Imperial Doctor's Mansion outside the mansion came to ask Lord Ning to go back, and it was said that Mrs. Ning was going to give birth. When Ning Zhongxin heard this, he hurriedly saluted the prime minister, and turned around and left without waiting for the prime minister's permission.
Back in the house, An Junlan's tormented shouts were heard in the distance. Hearing this, Ning Zhongxin knew that the fetus was not going well. Ning Zhongxin trotted all the way to An Junlan's side, and hurriedly took the pulse, and it was not easy to investigate how An Junlan could be in a hurry at this time. Acupuncture and moxibustion were administered, and midwifery drugs prepared long ago were used to help An Junlan give birth smoothly. Ning Zhongxin's medical skills can completely ensure that An Junlan and the child are foolproof, but he is nervous in front of his wife, he is no longer just a doctor, he is An Junlan's father-in-law, and the father of the child.
"It's raw. Raw. Sir, it's a boy. Looking at An Junlan, who was extremely tired, she fell asleep peacefully, and after the subordinates retreated, Ning Zhongxin gently stroked her forehead. He finally couldn't hold back his tears, crying like a child, why did he cry so sadly? Maybe only he knows.
For Ning Zhongxin, the addition of a male to the family is also an explanation to the ancestors and ancestors. The Ning family has been practicing medicine for generations, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. An Junlan looked at the child happily every day as if nothing had happened in the past few days, as if she had a new trust. didn't mention the events of that day at all, and treated Ning Zhongxin coldly. However, the mental state looked good, and Ning Zhongxin couldn't understand why An Junlan suddenly became angry that day.
"Lan'er, I gave you a pulse when I left that day, and the fetal image is very stable, what happened?"
"Yi Xuan~Good~" An Junlan glanced at Ning Zhongxin, lowered her head and continued to tease the child.
"Lan'er, when did you have a disagreement with your husband? It's been so indifferent these days. ”
"Me and you, or you and me?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Okay, let me ask you, why did you insist on going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"The prime minister personally came to invite me that day, if you don't go......"
"It's for the Prime Minister's wife!"
"How can you think that?"
"The emperor gave you a marriage, when you went to Anfu to propose, why were you surprised and disappointed when you saw me? Let me ask you again, who is Yingzhi who was drunk on your wedding night? Why does the entire Imperial Physician's Mansion know about your childhood sweetheart, but I don't know. There is no secret between me and you, so what about you and me? Why are you hiding it from me? An Junlan was afraid of waking up her sleeping son, so she could only suppress her voice and tears in her eyes, and one hand kept beating her chest, which was a great grievance.
"Lan'er ......"
"You go out, I don't want to see you."
Imperial Physician Ning didn't know how to explain, and he didn't know how to let An Junlan know his mind at this time. He walked out of the door and stood in front of it, refusing to leave. Hearing that there was no sound in the house, Ning Zhongxin opened the door and covered the sleeping An Junlan and the child with a quilt, until Cuiliu came to bring food to his wife.
"Sir, why don't you come into the room?"
"Shhhh An Junlan, who gave birth to a child, woke up easily. Although through the door, An Junlan still heard Cuiliu's voice. She also didn't expect that Ning Zhongxin would always be outside the door.
"Cuiliu~."
"Yes, madam" Cuiliu entered the door, the woman gave birth and was not easy to see the wind, and after entering the door, Cuiliu closed the door casually.
"Outside the door?"
"Yes, ma'am, I seem to have been standing for a long time."
An Junlan was silent, as if she couldn't bear it.
"Madam, the slave has never seen the master cry since she entered the Ning Mansion."
"Is the master crying?"
"That's right. When you just gave birth to your little son, you cried heartbreakingly. ”
"Go and call the master in."
Ning Zhongxin cautiously stepped into the door, and Cuiliu retreated.
"Cuiliu, you go down, I'll serve Mrs. dinner."
"Yes, sir."
An Junlan tried to get out of bed, but Ning Zhongxin hurriedly stopped her, looking at the food on the table, Ning Zhongxin served a bowl of fish soup
"You lie on the bed, I'll bring it over."
An Junlan was no longer annoyed at this time, and secretly laughed again. Sitting on the edge of the collapse waiting for Ning Zhongxin's fish soup, it seemed that he was afraid that the fish soup would spill on the ground. The pace is particularly slow when I walk by. An Junlan stretched out her hand to take the fish soup, Ning Zhongxin leaned back and said, "Madame, sit down, feed you soup for your husband." "Think that Ning Zhongxin is also a good man. It's also about yourself.
"Zhongxin ......"
"I had plans to tell you everything before in the morning, but I was also afraid of the past, you drank the fish soup first, and I will tell you everything in detail, about me and the prime minister's wife." An Junlan let out a long breath and smiled.
Ning Zhongxin told An Junlan about himself and Zheng Yingzhi one by one, and completely recounted it to An Junlan. An Junlan is an empathetic and broad-minded person. Even if some things can't pass at that moment, as long as you hear the reason for the matter, you won't care about anything. On that day, An Junlan even recognized that Ning Zhongxin was a good man who valued love and righteousness. It is not clear what is meant to be.
