Chapter 346: Fishing in the Ice River
In the capital, Liu Zhaoyi pretended to have a miscarriage by self-harm, and her lower body was bleeding nonstop. At the junction of Zhili, Wanying was born for a day and a night, biting the ginseng slices in her mouth, and still struggling hard.
I have drunk several bowls of oxytocic decoction, but the child has never been able to get down. The midwife was so anxious that she only wept, wiping her tears and checking at the same time, and her face was covered with blood, as if she had killed someone.
He You'an had already gone crazy and rode to a nearby village to find more midwives.
Yun Niang stayed by her side day and night, watching the pale Wanying faint several times, kneeling in the delivery room and swearing to the gods and Buddhas that she was willing to live for 20 years in exchange for the safety of Wanying's mother and son.
Time passed little by little, and there was still no progress in Wanying's abdomen.
The midwife clearly felt in a stroke: the child at the bottom of Wanying's womb was buttocks down, and her head was up.
Squatting birth, this is an extremely dangerous difficulty in the process of maternal delivery, the midwife has delivered a lifetime of children, and has seen a lot of squatting birth, half of them survive, half of the mother and child died.
Faced with such a situation, she sat helplessly on the ground, desperate tears, if she could escape, she would have slipped away, and now she is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for her to fly.
"Didn't you say that the fetus is normal, why did the child still not come out after giving birth for a day and a night?" The emperor was so anxious that he could only get angry at the doctor.
The doctor stood outside, listening to the command of the midwife inside, and probably guessed that there was an abnormal fetal position in Wanying's birth. But when it comes to the head, there is also half the chance of victory. Until the last moment, the midwife didn't say anything, and the doctor didn't dare to talk nonsense.
The emperor was angry outside the delivery room, and suddenly heard Wanying gritting her teeth and shouting: "Midwife, the child is coming out, you can help me push it down." ”
The midwife was already desperate, and when she heard that Wanying could speak, she jumped up at once, lay on Wanying's side, and carefully stroked her belly. The first child is about to slide out.
"Mother, if you hurt, shout out, and if you shout, it won't hurt so much. I can make a lot of energy, too. The midwife skillfully squeezed the fetus down while trying to make Wanying strain.
Wanying lay on the delivery bed, in pain for a day and a night, her upper and lower lips were bitten, and when she heard that the midwife made herself hard, she used all her strength again, using her dantian to squeeze the child in her belly.
"Wanying, if you are in pain, shout out." The emperor was in a hurry outside.
Wanying couldn't hear the emperor speak, but when she heard the emperor speak, tears seemed to be broken, and she couldn't stop sliding down her cheeks.
"Rokuro, I'm going to die, I really don't have the strength."
"Qing'er, I have waited for you for three lives and three lives, and you have also waited for me for three lives and three lives, we said that you are good to grow old, and you are not allowed to break the appointment with me."
"Rokuro, I'm ......" Another sharp pain swallowed the words in Wanying's mouth. Yes...... Ah......" The pain was more compact than a burst, and the overwhelming impact on Wanying's body and soul.
The child was coming, and Wanying seemed to reach out and grab his warm, wet little hand.
"Liulang, this is our child, our child ......" Wanying saw the child waving at her again in a trance, and her already weak body emitted amazing power.
"Wow wow...... Wow wow......" A crisp and sweet cry swept across the sky where the snow began to fall.
The eldest son of the emperor came to the world at dusk on the sixteenth day of the first month of the first year of Wan'an, and with the arrival of the eldest son of the emperor, auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in the sky that had been dark for a long time, and the auspicious clouds reflected the sky. Everyone knows that this is the auspicious celestial phase.
The child fell to the ground, and when Wanying heard that it was the eldest son of the emperor, she laughed and burst into tears. She didn't know how happy she was at this moment. The joy of being a first-time mother was briefly shattered by the remaining labor pains in her womb, and she still had a child in her womb.
With the smooth birth of the first child, the second child also fell to the ground safely an hour later, still a boy.
The emperor got two boys overnight, and such joy was even happier than when he became an emperor.
When He Youan came back with her midwife, Wanying had already successfully given birth to twins.
He Youan didn't ask whether the child was a boy or a girl, but only asked Wanying if she was safe.
"Don't worry, the mother and son are safe, the mother and mother won two men in one fell swoop, and she will be able to gain a firm foothold in the palace in the future." General Cao pulled He Youan to sit by a bonfire and said.
"Oops, how did I forget this!" He Youan had just sat down next to General Cao, and suddenly stood up again and said.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? General Cao didn't know what He Youan had forgotten, so he asked anxiously.
"I was only looking for the midwife, and I forgot to find some nourishing ingredients for her."
General Cao frowned and stared at He You'an dissatisfied, and said without a nose or eyes: "Can you not be so surprised?" What should I be doing, it turned out to be this. Forget it, forget it, it's not a big deal, the front is Zhili, and you can return to Beijing in a few days. ”
"No, I inquired with the doctor, after a woman gives birth, her body vitality will be exhausted, and if she doesn't nourish it, she will suffer in the future."
"There is no shop in front of the village, there is no store in the back, such a place where birds don't, where can we get nourishing things?" General Cao presented the situation in front of him to He You'an.
He You'an had already gone out for a run during the day, and by the way, he also reconnoitred the surrounding situation, and said in front of General Cao: "There is a river three and a half miles ahead. ”
As soon as General Cao heard this, he knew what He You's mind was, and deliberately pretended to be confused and said, "What's wrong with Youhe?" We don't pass by over there, so it's okay. ”
He Youan blinked and said, "I know we don't go over there, I mean we can go to the river and get some fish for Wanying." ”
"You're going to go, I'm not going. Niangniang mends her body, that's what the emperor is worried about. It's not interesting that I don't go up to this. ”
"The emperor is the king, we are the ministers, the emperor is worried about things, we, as courtiers, should share the emperor's worries, right?"
"Go as you go, don't pull me."
"Of course I'm going, you're going with me?"
"I'm not going." General Cao had already agreed in his heart, but he still didn't agree.
"You can't do it if you don't go."
"Why can't I go if I don't go?"
"If you don't go, I'll make too little by myself, let's get more, and Wanying can eat more."
General Cao listened to He You'an's childish remarks with tears and laughter, and said helplessly: "How big a belly can a woman have? How much fish can she eat? How many fish are you going to make? Do you want to call a shed of guards to come with you? ”
General Cao's words were 100% teasing He Youan, but He You'an listened to it like a clever plan in his ears.
"yes, why didn't I think of that? Call a shed of guards, more people make more fish. ”
General Cao was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that He Youan, a fool, was really going to call a tent of guards to catch fish.
"Forget it, don't move the crowd, I'll accompany you."
"No, you go and transfer a tent of guards now, let's go catch fish immediately, without further ado, set off immediately."
General Cao's intestines were blue at this moment, and in the face of the stupid He Youan, he could only shake his head helplessly, and then had to go to transfer troops to catch fish for him.
If you want to be crazy, I will accompany you to go crazy, if you want to be stupid, I will accompany you to be stupid. Even if the head moves, as long as the brothers can be together, General Cao still follows without hesitation.
One day and one night, although it is long, it can be regarded as a safe birth. After the two princes fell to the ground, Wanying lay on the delivery bed and fell asleep, and snowflakes were already floating in the sky. The emperor sat in the warm royal car, looking at his wife and son dotingly. He Youan took a shed of guards and fished in the ice river overnight.
It was freezing cold, in order to let Wanying wake up and drink a mouthful of fish soup, the poisonous wound in He You'an's chest had not healed, and he jumped into the icy river to catch fish for Wanying.
A pot of fish soup and a fish, but He Youan couldn't wait to catch all the fish roe and fish in the river, and give them all to the man, so that they could cook them into nourishing things and send them to Wanying's hands.
"General, it's almost there, I've already caught a few baskets, how big a belly can the mother have, it's good to be able to eat one." General Cao said with a torch in the water.
"It's almost, take it." He Youan looked at the fish basket on the shore and said contentedly.
The Guards collected their nets, carried their baskets on their backs, and hurried back to their garrison before dawn.
He Youan did not go to the royal car, but stayed in the stove room, watching the guys cook for Wanying.
He didn't understand anything, and stood there, looking at the guy meticulously.
"General, it's a cold day, you go change your clothes and come back." The guy was embarrassed by his staring, so he could only say while scraping the fish scales.
"You do yours, I'll watch mine." He Youan was thinking about Wanying's fish soup, where could he care about whether it was cold or hot on his body.
"General, if you look at me like this, I don't know what to do next, so why don't I light a fire for the general, and the general will warm up. When the fish soup is ready, I will tell the general. ”
He Youan heard what the guy said, and realized that he was standing in front of others, and he was a little hindered by others. He smiled innocently in his heart, and said with a simple face: "I'll help you light the fire." ”
When the man heard that the general was burning the fire, he was so anxious that he even threw away the fish and kitchen knife in his hand, and hurriedly explained: "General, you can't help it, you can't do it, if you burn the fire, I shouldn't get out of the oil pot, I can't help it, even if I have a hundred guts, I don't dare to let you burn the fire." ”
General He waved his hand honestly and said, "You make your fish, I'll make a fire for you, it's decided." ”
The man didn't dare to disobey, so he could only obey He You'an.
A fat crucian carp was scraped alive by the man, and when he was thrown into the cauldron, he still flicked his tail and refused to get out of the pot.
He Youan squatted in front of the stove and kept adding firewood to it. The snow outside the shed had long since stopped, and there was not a trace of snow on the ground, if it weren't for the night walkers who saw it with their own eyes. The sleeping man had no idea that there had been a snowfall last night.
The raging fire scorched He Youan's chest, and the winter wind beat his back mercilessly. He Youan picked up a piece of firewood and remembered a poem in silence. "The fire is warm in the chest, and the wind is cold in the back." Chang Nian was fighting outside, only at this moment, He Youan felt lonely, the kind of loneliness that his front heart couldn't stick to his back.
