Chapter 63: Plans Can't Keep Up with Change
Sima Guansheng was so anxious that he wanted to rush into the house, but Ling's mother hurriedly dissuaded: "Second girl, you can't help it, you are still in the boudoir, and it is not in accordance with the rules to watch the woman give birth." ”
She is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and it stands to reason that she can't see this kind of bloody and filthy scene, and it is reasonable for Ling's mother to stop her.
Ignoring Ling's mother's dissuasion, she forcibly rushed into the house.
Inside the house, Lu Shi was lying on the couch in pain, with beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead.
Mother Lu clasped her hands and wandered anxiously around the house. Seeing Sima Guansheng coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Second girl, it's okay!" Second girl, my little lady is about to give birth, this is not suitable for you, a girl who has not left the cabinet......"
Sima Guansheng ignored Mother Lu, walked straight to the side of the couch, and said urgently: "Human life is at stake, how can you still care about so much." She grabbed Lu's cold hand and asked, "Aunt Lu, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, the little one is still alive in his belly." Lu Shi muttered softly, squeezing out a smile with difficulty.
"Aunt Lu, if you bear with me, your mother's mother should be here soon. If you really can't catch up, it's a big deal to let Lu's mother and Ling's mother help, we give birth by ourselves, and we don't rely on any midwife. Sima Guansheng comforted Lu with a relaxed face.
Lu Shi smiled bitterly and nodded.
Sima Guansheng turned back to Mother Lu and said, "Mother Lu, you are optimistic about your little mother, if the amniotic water breaks, you really can't wait, so hurry up to help your little mother give birth." ”
"Second girl, didn't you invite a midwife? How can you still need a slave woman to do it herself? Besides, the slave woman will not be able to deliver the baby? ”
"What's so difficult about this, those poor families, how can they have any spare money to hire a midwife, don't they give birth to their own children. Don't worry, Aunt Lu has given birth and raised, so there will be no problems. When the time came, I asked Ling's mother to come over and help. ”
"Yes!" What Sima Guansheng said was reasonable, and Lu's mother could only respond.
She continued to advise the Lu family: "Aunt Lu, you should rest and nourish your spirit first, if you have an appetite, eat something, and then you will have the strength to grow later." Guan Sheng went to guard outside, just in case someone made any more trouble. ”
Lu Shi was silent and nodded in response.
Sima Guansheng and Ling's mother turned around and walked out of the door, supervising Aunt Zhong's master and servant who were still waiting on the porch.
Mother Ling always had a surprised and stunned expression on her face, when did Sima Guansheng, who was not out of the door, become so sharp and knew so much. She knew even about a woman's birth. Mother Ling was very puzzled in her heart.
A light rain fell in the sky, and a cold wind howled by.
Lu's mother, Mu Huici, led the midwife she found from the county seat, sat in a carriage, and was rushing to Luoyang City.
Hurrying late at night, the carriage was much slower than usual, and it was almost four o'clock in the morning. Mu Huici was so anxious that his heart was about to jump out, and he kept urging the groom.
Who knew that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and it was about to enter the city, but the wheel of the carriage fell into a puddle on the side of the road.
The horse neighed, and the whole carriage turned over with the cart, and the reins of the horse were not cut by anything, and the horse was frightened, and picked up his hooves and galloped away.
Mu Huici and the midwife climbed out of the carriage, looked at the horses that ran away for their lives, and she shouted, "Horses...... Horse...... Don't run, you beast, stop for me, come back quickly......"
The maid who was waiting for her lifted her up from the ground and asked with concern, "Madam, are you hurt?" ”
"I'm fine, quick, go chase the horse back."
"Madame, that's a four-legged horse! Where can the slave and maid catch up? ”
"That's good, Yun Shu is still waiting for us to save her life!" Mu Huici frowned tightly and said helplessly.
The groom checked the carriage and said weakly: "Even if the horse is chased back, the problem will not be solved for a while, the cart is falling apart, and it will take some effort to repair it." ”
"This ...... How is this a good ......?" Mu Huici was so anxious that he pounded his heart.
After a while, she suddenly realized, helped up the midwife sitting on the ground, and asked, "Mrs. Wu, you are not injured, are you?" Can you move? ”
"Move, move, but I'm scared, and now I'm still scared! I thought that my old life was going to see Lord Yama today. The midwife waved her hand in response.
"Okay, it's good to go, Cecilia, come and support Lady Wu, without further ado, hurry up."
"Madame, you mean, we're going to see Mademoiselle?"
"Or else? This black light is blinding, where to go to find the carriage, walk first, maybe you can meet someone who is in a hurry at night later, and hitchhike. With that, she helped the midwife to walk in the direction of Luoyang City.
The maid Cecilia was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly caught up, and the three of them accompanied each other and walked into the night.
The rain was still bustling, and under the corridor of the Xue Pavilion, Zhong Xiaoniang moved a chair and sat down at some point, her face a little uneasy.
Time passed little by little, and the atmosphere inside and outside the house was particularly depressing.
I don't know how long it took, but Mother Wen led a woman in her forties and hurried over.
Zhong Xiaoniang saw it from a distance and got up to greet her.
When Mother Wen and the others approached, Zhong Xiaoniang scolded: "It's back, I thought you were captured by a ghost!" Is it so hard to find someone? ”
"It's raining outside, and the road is slippery, so it's not good for walking, and the slave didn't make a mistake, right?"
Zhong Xiaoniang looked at the woman standing next to Mother Wen, and whispered to Mother Wen: "Okay, have you explained everything that should be explained?" ”
"Little lady rest assured, guarantee that nothing goes wrong."
"Okay, let's go! Hurry up and lead her in. ”
Mother Wen led the woman and was about to go to Lu's room, and when Sima Guansheng saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to block the way.
Unkindly asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Mother Wen smiled and said, "Second girl, the midwife before suddenly became ill and couldn't deliver for Lu Xiaoniang." The slave woman went to invite another one at this time and led her in to deliver Lu Xiaoniang. ”
Sima Guansheng said sharply: "Just find someone to come, if something goes wrong, who is responsible, are you?" ”
"This ......" Mother Wen turned around and asked Zhong Xiaoniang for help with helpless eyes.
Zhong Xiaoniang stepped forward, "Sima Guansheng, what do you want to do?" Get out of the way. ”
"Anyway, this person of unknown origin just can't enter, I want to protect the eldest son and grandson of the Sima family."
"What do you mean by this, do you mean that I want to harm the fourth sister? So many pairs of eyes can see it really, the conscience of heaven and earth, what I Zhong Jiayun has done, heaven and earth can be learned. But you, why did you stop it, because you were afraid that Dai Yu and your unborn sister-in-law would steal the limelight from your daughter-in-law? Come on, pull the messy second girl away for me. Zhong Xiaoniang said, and the two slaves were about to step forward and drag Sima Guansheng.
She couldn't understand how the soft persimmon that she was usually held by others had become a hard bone to gnaw today.
Whether you are a soft persimmon or a hard bone, don't think about getting in my way today.
"Let go of me, I'm a bully, right? No matter how bad I am, I will be the daughter of Yin of Luoyang Mansion in exchange for a fake bag, and it is not your turn to be presumptuous. Sima Wansheng struggled, kicked her person to the ground, and gave another person a resounding slap in the face.
The two maids trembled with fright, and retreated to the side, not daring to move again.
Everyone was stunned by Sima Wansheng's move, and Zhong Xiaoniang was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses.
Useless things, even a yellow-haired girl can't be lowered, it's really a bunch of waste.
"You, and you, come here, the second girl is crazy, kidnap her and send her back to Lichun Pavilion." Zhong Xiaoniang pointed to the two rough male servants in the courtyard and said arrogantly.
When the two male servants heard the sound, they dropped their work, turned into the porch from outside the fence, and walked towards Sima Guansheng with a cower.
Halfway through, the two of them stopped together, and resignedly: "Zhong Xiaoniang, the slave doesn't dare to offend the second girl." ”
"You...... You guys...... Rice buckets, they are all useless rice buckets......" Zhong Xiaoniang was so angry that her lips trembled.
At this moment, Lu's mother ran out shouting, and said urgently: "Second girl, second girl, I'm going to give birth, and the amniotic water is broken......"
"Going to give birth? Midwife, why are you still stunned? Don't hurry into the house to deliver the baby. Zhong Xiaoniang took the opportunity to angrily shout at the midwife standing on the side.
When Sima Guansheng heard this, he lined up in front of the door with his hands, and said urgently: "Mother Lu, do what you said before." Mother Ling, you go in and help. ”
Ling's mother responded, and the two got into the house, Sima Wansheng quickly closed the door and locked Zhong Xiaoniang and the others out.
"You crazy people, hurry up and let the midwife in, you are so nonsense, you will kill Lu Xiaoniang, open the door quickly." Sima Guansheng, if your Aunt Lu has a good deal, see if your father doesn't peel off the skin for you. Zhong Xiaoniang kept banging on the door, but there was no response from inside.
She was so angry that she wandered around the door and stomped her feet, and the veins on her neck swelled.
Inside the house, Lu's mother and Ling's mother were busy timidly. Learn from the midwife to scrub Lu's body and cheer him on the side.
Sima Guansheng stood behind the screen, anxiously waiting.
There was a knocking sound outside the house, Zhong Xiaoniang knocked on the door to no avail, and now she is looking for someone to knock on the door, wanting to break in.
When Sima Guansheng heard the sound, she asked the maids to move a few cabinets to block it, and when it happened, she couldn't let Zhong Xiaoniang come in no matter what.
"Come out, come out......" After a while, Lu's mother's excited cry came.
When Sima Wansheng heard this, her excitement was beyond words, she didn't care so much, and rushed directly into the inner room, wanting to have a sneak peek.
"Mother Ling, come and let me take a look." Sima Guansheng said excitedly.
Mother Ling's hands were stained with blood, she looked at Sima Guansheng with a sad face, her brows were tightly locked, and she said, "Second girl...... Little lady...... The little lady is afraid that it is difficult to give birth, this is ...... This came out first...... It's the feet. ”
As the saying goes: When a woman gives birth, she dies for life.
If it is a difficult birth, it is even more auspicious.
Lu Shi lay there, physically exhausted, and a little dazed.
The excited smile on Sima Guansheng's face stopped abruptly, and he asked himself, "Difficult birth, what can I do?" Why is it a difficult birth, my pig brain, why did I forget this stubble, what should I do? What can I do? ”
