Zhong Xiaoniang was very patient today, and chatted a lot with the Lu family.

Until Poria led the midwife Huang and stumbled into the door. She shouted and drove everyone in the house out of the house, leaving Lu, the midwife and Lu's mother in the house.

Zhong Xiaoniang and the others did not leave in a hurry, they all waited on the corridor outside Lu's room, waiting for the "good news" to come out.

Sima Guansheng saw that the midwife had arrived, but there was no news from Rushuang's side, and his heart began to feel uneasy.

She whispered to Mother Ling beside her: "Mother Ling, go to the door and take a look, Ru Shuang went to pick up people, why hasn't she come at this hour?" ”

Ling's mother responded and walked towards the front yard.

Inside Lu's bedroom.

The midwife had already rolled up her sleeves, took off Lu's pants, and prepared to deliver Lu's baby.

At this moment, Lu Shi was a little nervous and scared. Sima Guansheng's words have been lingering in his ears.

She kept giving Lu's mother a look, and Lu's mother reacted at this time, picked up the teacup on the desk and poured a cup of warm tea prepared in advance, took out the medicine bag in her arms and poured it into the teacup, shook it from side to side a few times, and shook the medicine powder away.

She brought the teacup to the midwife and said with a smile: "Sister Huang, this big holiday, the weather is cold, it's really hard for you, come, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body." ”

"Sister, put it aside for now, it's important to get down to business, and you can drink the tea later." Taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, she finished what Zhong Xiaoniang explained earlier, and she was more down-to-earth in her heart.

"No matter how anxious you are, it's not bad for this sip of tea, you better drink it first! This is also the kindness of my little lady. Lu's mother continued to persuade.

Lu Shi also chimed in: "Yes! Huang Niangzi, if you drink a cup of tea and are in good spirits, isn't it more effective to get twice the result with half the effort? ”

Lu and Lu's mother persuaded each other, and the midwife couldn't refuse anymore, so she took the teacup in Lu's mother's hand, raised her head and drank it all.

Seeing the midwife drink the tea, Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother Lu smiled and took the empty teacup and asked, "Sister Huang, do you want another cup?" ”

"No, no, it's really time to get down to business." The midwife smiled and waved, walked to the end of the couch, leaned down to investigate the situation for Lu's, pressed Lu's bulging belly, and said to Lu's mother: "Prepare hot water, scissors, and gauze." ”

"Huh!" Mother Lu responded, and hurriedly beckoned the maids waiting behind the screen to prepare.

Sima Guansheng saw the maids coming in and out, but there was no movement at all from the midwife, and Ling's mother had not come back when she went to inquire about the news, she wandered anxiously on the corridor.

Distraught, she grabbed a maid who was about to enter the house with hot water and asked, "Is your Lu Xiaoniang about to give birth?" ”

"Back to the second girl, it should be! The midwife is asking us to prepare hot water, scissors and gauze! ”

"Oh, then you should hurry up!" Sima Guansheng let go of the hand holding the maid's arm, his expression a little frustrated. His hands were clasped tightly, and his worries were written on his face.

Ahh Ah, does the laxative you gave work? This is a life-saving medicine, you can't play tricks on me at this time!

Sima Guansheng stomped his feet worriedly, and complained in his heart about Liu Li's coming.

Zhong Xiaoniang is very calm, and she looks confident. Seeing Sima Guansheng's expression, she pulled her throat and asked with a smile: "Guansheng!" Look at you so anxious, people who don't know still think it's your own mother! When did you become so interested in your Aunt Lu? ”

"Aunt Lu is spreading the branches for the Sima family, and Guan Sheng, as a member of the Sima family, should be so. It's freezing this day, isn't Aunt Zhong also waiting in this cold wind? ”

"Hey, hey!" Zhong Xiaoniang sneered, showing contempt, glanced at Sima Wansheng with disgust, and turned her face away.

At this time, a maid hurriedly led the midwife Huang out of the house. The maid walked in front, and the midwife covered her stomach, frowned, and followed behind her with an embarrassed face.

Seeing this, Sima Guansheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, this laxative finally did not disappoint her.

Zhong Xiaoniang asked suspiciously: "Why is it so fast?" Is it all going well? ”

"I didn't ...... Haven't given birth yet...... I couldn't hold it back, so I didn't say more, and I had to pull my pants again. The midwife hurriedly said a few words, and without waiting for Zhong Xiaoniang to ask again, she followed the maid and walked briskly in the direction of the latrine.

"You ......" Before Zhong Xiaoniang could complain, the figure of the midwife had disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

This dead old woman, sooner rather than later, is just in time for this juncture. If something goes wrong, I'll have to tie you up and throw you in the dung pit.

Zhong Xiaoniang complained secretly, and anger arose.

The midwife squatted in the latrine and pulled happily. I just fastened my belt and prepared to go back with the maid who was waiting outside. Who knew that there was a cramp in her stomach, if she hadn't run fast, she would have pulled her pants.

Out and in, in and out. The midwife tossed back and forth between the latrine and the latrine at two o'clock and one line, and both legs were almost thinner.

Sima Guansheng's dosage is really enough, and it is estimated that the midwife will stay in this toilet for a long time.

Outside Lu's bedroom, Ling's mother had already come back to reply, and the wife of the Lu family had not been seen yet.

Sima Guansheng stomped his feet again in a hurry, and said in a low voice: "Mother Ling, have you explained clearly?" Didn't you say that they should arrive before four o'clock? Why hasn't it arrived yet? ”

"The slave woman did give a good explanation, and I guessed if there was any situation on the road."

"Hey! If I knew this, I should have picked them up earlier, blame me, blame me, be too cautious. Sima Guansheng folded his hands and put them on his chest, closed his eyes and prayed, hoping that Mrs. Lu would come soon.

Zhong Xiaoniang saw that the midwife did not return for a long time, so she called the maids and mothers-in-law beside her to urge.

Who knew that the maids and mothers-in-law replied, saying that the midwife asked Zhong Xiaoniang to invite Gao Ming, she was sick today, and it was probably difficult to deliver the baby for the Lu family again.

After Zhong Xiaoniang heard this, she was so angry that she said angrily: "Is she sick? Didn't you just live a dragon? Does she want to find death, go, even if she carries it, she will carry it for me. Tell her that if you don't do a good job today, you won't have any good fruit for her. ”

Her usual virtuous appearance disappeared in an instant, and she bared her teeth like a shrew in the market.

The maid replied tremblingly: "The midwife mother said, today is to put the knife on her neck, she doesn't have the strength to do things well, if Zhong Xiaoniang doesn't want to mess things up, please ask Zhong Xiaoniang to ask Gao Ming." ”

The midwife's words are already very clear. Zhong Xiaoniang didn't have to think about it, she also knew the meaning of her words.

In desperation, she explained to Mother Wen beside her. Mother Wen nodded and listened carefully, and when she said that, Mother Wen hurriedly walked towards the front yard.

The master and servant of the Lu family were still waiting anxiously in the house. Lu's mother thought that Lu was waiting for the midwife to come back, but she didn't know that she was waiting for her mother-in-law to come to the rescue.
