Chapter 277: Birth
"Don't make yourself angry, old lady!" Old Madam Gu comforted Mrs. Yan, "The matter only started today, someone is suing the court, whether the emperor believes it or not, this should still be the way to go." This is ...... Let's take a look at it later. β
Before Mrs. Gu's voice fell, she heard a "knock" footsteps, and before she could turn around, she heard a maid say in a panicked voice: "Mrs. Yan asked the slave to come over and deliver a message, saying that the fetus in Mrs. Gu's womb is too big, and her shoulder is stuck, and I am afraid that it will take a while to give birth to the little master." β
"What do you mean your shoulder is stuck?" Mrs. Yan only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she almost fainted.
"That's it...... It's dystocia. The little maid said in a hurry, and as soon as she finished speaking, Old Madam Gu also felt a flutter in front of her.
"In-laws, let's go over and have a look, let's go over and have a look. This is so good, why is it difficult to give birth? β
Mrs. Yan said...... said that the little master was too edible, and there was more meat on his shoulders and back. The little maid explained behind her.
"This little thing is deliberately trying to toss his mother, I won't beat him when he comes out." As she spoke, Mrs. Yan slammed the cane in her hand twice on the ground.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Yan Suwen's wailing and Du Ruo's indirect reprimand.
"Can it be good? Will this child be born smoothly? Old Lady Yan walked up to Yan Baiqing and asked him nervously.
"Mother rest assured, if you are here, if you are fine, you will be fine." Yan Baiqing was also nervous, not only was he nervous, but the other two imperial doctors standing in the courtyard were also nervous. They are doctors, they know a lot of diseases, and they can see a lot of diseases, but when they met this woman, they didn't have any tricks when they gave birth.
In the room, after several hours of labor pain, Yan Suwen's response to pain was almost in a conditioned response, that is, he would moan in both conscious and unconscious states. She knows how hard she is, but she doesn't know if she uses her own strength in the right place, and she knows that if the child is not born again, it will be very dangerous. Lack of oxygen, suffocation, hemorrhage, any of them are beyond the medical level of this era.
She clutched the sheets, endured wave after wave of pain, and felt that her body was split in half, half unconscious, and generally soreness mixed with inexplicable pain that could not be described in words.
"Auntie, can't I give birth?"
"What nonsense, with a mother, whether it's you or the child, you will be safe. Miss Jiang, you are a person who practices martial arts, and your reaction should be faster than ordinary people. Excuse me, help watch the child's condition, I need to push the child out of Su'er's womb through external force. Youbai, you take care of your young lady. Errong, you are the most careful, you come to help me. β
In the room, except for Yan Suwen, everyone's position has changed. She felt her mother's hand fall on her stomach, then Errong's hand, and then she felt her belly turn into dough. Just when she thought that she really had no choice, she suddenly heard Jiang Li shouting: "Madam, work hard, the child is coming out soon!" β
As a mother's natural reaction, she instantly gritted her teeth, held her breath and desperately went downward, and suddenly, she felt relaxed all over, as if she was back in the clouds.
"It's out! It's out! It's a little boy, a chubby little boy! Jiang Li carefully lifted the child up, followed by the child's cry of "wow".
In the courtyard, there was the sound of walking, the joy of the maids and servants running to tell each other, and the sound of my grandmother reciting Amitabha Buddha and the blessing of the Buddha.
"Auntie, is the child okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my arm is red, and I'll observe it more in the future." Du Ruo hugged the child who had not yet been cleaned: "I haven't seen you eat on weekdays, but you gave birth to such a big fat boy." He was so chubby that he took pity on my daughter, and almost took half of his life to give birth to him. β
"I also think it's strange that I don't have much meat on my body, how can he eat so fat. Ah Niang, take a look, is his face worth a big bun. β
"Except that this nose looks like you, and the eyebrows, eyes, and mouth look like your uncle." Du Ruo moved the child's face slightly, and the little guy opened his eyes and looked at his grandmother. "Look at this clever one, when he grows up, he must be a bright child."
"Madam, let the slave take the little boy to take a bath." Errong reached out.
Du Ruo smiled and handed the child to her: "The child is too big, there are some tears under your body, my mother has already sealed it for you, and I have also smeared the painkiller medicine." It's just that this wound will heal for some time. β
It's a doctor, and I've seen some women give birth to children in my previous life, and I'm no stranger to the words tearing and side cutting. It's a pity that in this era, there is no kind of beautifying sheep intestines, and after a while, the stitches will have to be removed when the wound heals. Whether or not to leave a scar is secondary, the key is that she is afraid of pain, especially if she has just gone through labor pains.
He pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything.
Du Ruo gently stroked her face: "I'm tired, sleep for a while, and we will take care of the child." Your father, your eldest brother, and that Dr. Shen are all waiting outside. β
"Where's Jiang Li?" Yan Suwen moved slightly.
"Ma'am, I'm here."
Jiang Li walked over, and there were a lot of blood stains on the snow-white armor, and even on that beautiful face, there was some blood.
"I hate you because of my husband's affairs, but because of my children's affairs, I am grateful to you. One yard to one yard, I still want to thank you. β
"Madame is gracious." Jiang Li took half a step back: "When Madame moved, Jiang Li had already rushed into the palace to show the emperor." The emperor allowed the prime minister to come back to visit his wife, but during the day, it was easy to be seen and criticized. Madame waited a little longer, and estimated that Xiangye was coming back soon. β
"Thank you." Yan Su asked, closing his eyes slightly.
I didn't know how many hours I slept this time, but when I opened my eyes, I saw Gu Changfeng holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, looking at her with a smile. When I tasted it myself, my mouth was still filled with a bitter taste that had not yet fallen.
"What kind of medicine is this? It's sour and bitter, and it doesn't taste good at all. β
"It's not medicine, it's ginseng soup, my mother and mother-in-law boiled it for you together."
"Ginseng soup? I've only heard of chicken soup and pork knuckle soup when I have a child, but I've never heard of ginseng soup. Also, this ginseng soup is afraid that only large families like us can afford to drink it. However, it doesn't taste good. β
"My mother-in-law said she was there to replenish your qi. Here, good, take another sip. β
"A small bite." Yan Su asked and discussed: "When I was asleep, you fed me, and I drank it in a daze." Now that I'm awake, I really can't drink it. β
"Angry with me? Blame me for not being there for you when you needed it most? β
"No complaints! The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and when he encounters an unreasonable emperor, if he wants to complain, he also complains about him, how can he complain about the father-in-law. β
"Your Majestyβ" Gu Changfeng opened his mouth to speak, but was gagged by Yan Suwen reaching out his hand.
"It's not easy for you to come back, and it's hard for us to say a few words, don't mention this bad person, so as not to be unhappy. I've just given birth, and I can't be angry. Yan Su asked and put his hand down: "Have you seen the child?" β
"I didn't care." Gu Changfeng took the opportunity to feed a mouthful of ginseng soup to Yan Suwen's mouth.
"Didn't care? Is there such a father as you? I finally came back for a trip, and I didn't even look at my own children. β
"I'm afraid to see him and can't help but beat him." Gu Changfeng fed another mouthful of ginseng soup into Yan Suwen's mouth: "I know everything, this kid, I tossed you before I landed, I was a little reluctant to look at him." β
"You dare, that's my son, the son I gave birth to after fighting for most of my life." Yan Su asked and glanced at him.
"Shall I take a look?" Gu Changfeng took a look, a bowl of ginseng soup, there was almost the bottom of the bowl left. Turned around and handed the soup bowl to Hou Aside, who was desperately holding back a smile: "Go, bring that stinky boy who always tosses his mother." β
The young white blessed his body and retreated. After a while, Errong came with the child in his arms.
A bright red quilt inlaid with gold thread was wrapped in a pink-white child with a round face who was sleeping sweetly. Gu Changfeng looked at it steadily, and tried to stretch out his hand several times, but he couldn't help it.
"People say that the son follows his mother, and I also look at him like you, born so good-looking."
"Open your eyes and talk nonsense, my mother, my grandmother, and my mother-in-law all say that they look like you when you were a child, and they say that only your nose doesn't follow you. Alas, I think it's a pity, I still think your nose is beautiful on your face. β
"It's all good-looking, no matter who we are." Gu Changfeng stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the child's face, but when he came to him, he only touched the corner of the quilt, and let Er Rong hug him: "I'm asleep, my hands are cold, don't startle him again." β
"Have you figured out what to name this child?"
"Boy, it's okay to call anything." Gu Changfeng lightly held Yan Suwen's hand: "If Madame doesn't feel troublesome, the matter of this name will be handed over to Madame." β
Aren't these ancients all patriarchal? When she came to her husband, she became a boy, and she was called anything. Could it be that he, as a father, doesn't want his son to become a Chan, and doesn't want his son to grow up like him, to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, with unlimited scenery?
Gu Changfeng seemed to see through Yan Suwen's thoughts, and gently pinched the tip of her nose with his other hand: "I have been diligent and hardworking since I was a child, and I have indeed received a lot of praise. From childhood to adulthood, what I heard the most was, you look at what people say. But I wasn't happy at all. I like to study, but I also envy those who climb high and low all day long, are naughty, dig out a bird's nest from time to time, and then are chased and beaten by their parents. The way my mother chased me and beat me, I might still be able to imagine it, my father, I can't think of it. Our child, let it be his temperament. If you follow me, I will not dislike it, but if you follow you, it will be better. If you want to live a more free life on your own, I agree with it. In short, I won't force him to follow my growth trajectory to grow into what I am now. Anything is good, healthy, happy, and carefree. β
