Chapter 3 Not good, Madame has another one
In Xiangguo's Mansion, everyone was busy going in and out, and it seemed to be very lively and festive......
Mom Zhang, hurry up, bring a basin of hot water......
The midwife was trying hard to deliver the baby, and Mrs. Sangkook, who was lying on the bed, was already sweating profusely, and the pain and happiness prompted her to try to open her eyes, she couldn't sleep, she wanted to see the crystallization of her love with the person she loved the most.
Yes...... Yes...... Yes......
The sound of hoarseness and screaming filled the sky over the entire Xiangguo Mansion, and Wei Xiangguo was anxious to turn around outside the door, he was a father for the first time, and he was happy when he was happy, and a feeling of happiness arose. It can be accurately said that if he didn't have the identity of Xiangguo, he would really be like a child and burst into joy.
Mother Zhang, quick, come and help me, the child seems to be stuck in the head. The midwife said to the maid next to her, who had just brought hot water.
It's coming, it's coming. Zhang's mother quickly put down the hot water basin and walked over to the midwife to help deliver the baby together.
Ah, I'm in so much pain, I don't want to give birth! Madame opened her mouth and roared, her body hurt like a knife, but this was her love for ten months, she was a mother for the first time, and she didn't want anything to go wrong.
The voice pierced Wei Xiangguo's heart, he was really worried about his wife's body, which was usually relatively weak, and this toss might not cause any illness.
He was really distressed when he heard his wife's voice, and rushed in regardless of the obstruction of his subordinates.
Master! Everyone took a few steps back.
According to custom, when a woman gives birth, the man cannot be by her side, and it will be said that it is unlucky. Xiangguo himself knows, but Mrs. is important, it has been so long, and he has not heard the cry of the child, his most important person is still Mrs., if it is really a last resort, the person he wants to protect is still Mrs.
Master Wei, why did you get in? Get out! The midwife is also a person who attaches more importance to customs in feudal society, and of course will naturally prevent men from entering the delivery room.
Midwife, I am now my wife's father-in-law, but also the father of the child, and now my wife is in such a bad pain, if I don't stay by her side, how can I be worthy of my conscience?
Wei Xiangguo, after being loyal and good, the emperor's most trusted person, who does things for people and has a clear distinction between public and private, is a well-known Qing official in the capital, from the Ninety-Five Supreme to the common people, no one dares to say that this person is not, to his words, everyone is obedient, not to mention that she is just a midwife. Of course, she is just concerned about Xiangguo's reputation and customs.
The midwife saw that Xiangguo felt so sorry for her wife, so she didn't stop it.
Madam, open your eyes and look at me, I am Pingxi, your father-in-law. I'm here, don't be afraid, I'll help you through this. Wei Xiangguo shouted to his wife who was about to fall asleep, and at the same time held his wife's hands tightly, as if he was afraid that his wife would fly by accident.
Old...... Father......
She tried hard to open her eyes, seeing that her father-in-law had been by her side, the affection, the care, made her tears flow unconsciously.
The joy in her heart is full, she knows that in her He Xingyue's life, with this husband, it is a blessing that she cultivated in her previous life, since the wedding, she has not suffered the slightest grievance, even if she is frozen, so she should work hard to give him more happiness, she can't be fine, she must give birth to the child peacefully.
Gritting his teeth, he felt a tingling sensation in his heart, and finally felt a hot breath coming out of his body.
Wow...... Wow......
It's a daughter! The midwife screamed.
As soon as Xingyue heard this cry, she knew that the child was fine. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
And He Xingyue was exhausted at this time, her body was overdrawn, she really wanted to sleep well, but she still tried hard to say to Xianggong: "Xianggong, I didn't disappoint you, child, our child, she finally came to our house." ”
After saying that, he closed his eyes and went to sleep. And Wei Xiangguo, who was holding his hands tightly, still refused to let go of his wife's hands, as if he would leave him as soon as he let go.
Look, sir, it's a daughter, but it's beautiful! Zhang's mother walked to Wei Xiangguo's side with the freshly born child who had been washed and packaged.
Wei Xiangguo stretched out his hands, hugged her gently, and looked at her as if he saw his wife, with only a little more red fetal gas on his little face.
When everyone was in joy, suddenly a golden light from the roof shot down and threw it into the delivery room of Mrs. Xiangguofu.
Look! Meng Yuan, the housekeeper outside the door, pointed to a golden light in the sky.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the sky above Xiangguofu.
There was a lot of discussion.
The gods have descended to earth?
Does this golden light mean that there is something good in our house?
In the future, there may be a double happy event for the Xiangguo Mansion......
It may be that Xiang Guo usually accumulates too much virtue, so he has this luck......
It seems that we will all have good luck in the future......
The servants outside the door were each talking their own words.
Yes......
Suddenly, I heard a loud shouting from inside the room.
What's going on? Butler Meng Yuan looked at the door with puzzled eyes.
I hurt and my stomach hurts...... Madame was awakened by the pain, and Sangkook, who was holding the child in his hand, was so frightened by Madame's voice that his hands trembled.
Madame, Madame...... Wife, wife, where are you, hurry, hurry up and see Madame! Wei Xiangguo, who was holding the child, was so anxious that he walked around his wife's bed like an ant on a hot pot.
In desperation, he could only throw the child to Zhang's mother.
Mother Zhang, quickly, take the young lady out, see if the midwife leaves, and let her come over immediately.
Okay, sir! Zhang's mother quickly walked out of the door and watched the housekeeper stay motionless outside the door.
Shouted loudly, housekeeper, quick, go find the midwife and come back!
The housekeeper was frightened by Zhang's mother's loud voice and immediately rushed to find the midwife.
In the room, He Xingyue screamed in pain, and Wei Xiangguo couldn't do anything but hold his wife's hand and comfort him.
After a while, the midwife hurried into the house.
Not good, Madame has one more! The midwife said to the people in the house.
What did you say? Midwife? And one more? Wei Xiangguo was a little stupid by the midwife's words.
Yes, sir, there is another one in the belly of Madame. The midwife couldn't believe herself, so many years of delivery, this situation is also the first time, just after giving birth did not find that there is another in the belly, why is this only a moment of effort, and there is one more?
Don't? This is? The midwife didn't dare to think about it, so she could only rely on her usual experience in delivering babies to keep her wife and child safe.
Master Wei was also puzzled, in the past ten months, the imperial doctor has been telling him that he is a single child, why is there another one? He couldn't figure it out, so he just prayed to heaven to keep his wife safe.
This time, the child was born without a hitch. The midwife held the newborn baby and looked at it, very relieved, just as beautiful.
Master, another daughter. The midwife was very happy, after all, this was the first time this kind of thing happened to her, and she was born smoothly, which only shows that in the future, her reputation may be better.
Madame watched the old man take the child and looked at Xiangguo with a smile. The joy on Xiangguo's face is rare in many years, and when she smiles so contentedly, she can sleep peacefully.
Xiangguo teased the child, looked at the sleeping lady, and said hello to everyone, everyone understood what he meant, so they all went out and no longer disturbed the lady's rest.
Only Mama Zhang was left in the room, tidying up the room and taking care of Mrs. Zhang.
Sangkook went out and instructed the housekeeper. Tonight, there was a big family banquet, and I Weixiangguo got two thousand gold in one fell swoop, which is really a blessing from a hundred years of cultivation.
Well, sir! The butler took the order and went straight to arrange everything.
The midwife has not left yet, she knows that this time the delivery is her opportunity, and she has to take advantage of this to make some benefits.
Sir, is the midwife still waiting in the hall? The girl Xiaoling looked at the old man who came out and said to him.
Okay, I'll go! Today, he is a happy couple, and the joy in his heart can't be suppressed, which is even happier than when he was crowned an official. For him, he doesn't care so much, what he cares about is peace, what he cares about is peace in the world, and family harmony.
The midwife sitting on the chair saw Xiangguo walk into the hall, and quickly got up and said, "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, and the two daughters are happy." ”
"Joy and joy" Wei Xiangguo knew that this time, she would definitely ask for some benefits.
Say, midwife, you have contributed to my Xiangguo Mansion today, and you can say whatever reward you want. After saying that, he sat down.
The midwife guessed the original intention of Xiangguo, and the reward was indispensable, but if it was too vulgar, it would inevitably ruin her reputation in the future. So she is also a person with brains, after repeated measurements.
Xiangguo, the credit is not daring, midwifery is my job, if you want to say reward, this I will be the same as the usual delivery, but I have a request, I don't know if Xiangguo is willing or not?
But it doesn't hurt to say it! Xiangguo didn't expect that this midwife was still a little level, and her thoughts were seen by her at once.
I don't mind anything else, I hope that Master Xiangguo will help me mention a word, and I can hang it in my own residence, so that my hard work for so many years will not be in vain.
Ha ha...... A smart person is a smart person. Wise people don't speak secret words. Sangkook said with a smile.
For this request, of course, it is not excessive, and it is just right. Isn't it vulgar and can make your reputation even better? It's really worthy of being a well-known midwife in the capital, not bad!
In this way, Wei Xiangguo walked to the study, picked up the pen and wrote four words: "Blessed with nature", and after writing, he asked the housekeeper to make a plaque for her, which can be regarded as a welfare for his wife and children to spend safely today.
The two talked very happily in the hall, probably Xiangguo was in a good mood today, but when he was replaced, he was a person who rarely spoke, and it was already a lot to say three or five sentences.
After a cup of tea, he watched the housekeeper Meng Yuan walk out with a gold plaque.
I handed it to the midwife, and please see it. The housekeeper handed the plaque to the midwife
The midwife took it, looked at the four words on it, and said softly: "De-Tian-Du-Hou", great, get God's help, Duyou, a unique and kind person. This is to praise her virtue to the highest position, and in the future, in the capital, she will no longer worry about no business, let alone her reputation.
Thank you for the reward, then I will take my leave. After that, he was leaving.
Wei Xiangguo thought to himself, it is indeed not easy for the midwife today, so he opened his mouth to stay: "Today, because Mrs. is happy to have two daughters, so we have a family banquet in Xiangguo's mansion in the evening, and we also ask the midwife to leave a celebration?" ”
How can the midwife usually have this kind of treatment, of course she is happy: "Since Xiangguo speaks, then I might as well obey my fate respectfully!" ”
Housekeeper, you take the midwife to the backyard to rest, and I'll go see the lady too.
After saying that, he walked alone in the direction of Madame's house.
And the housekeeper on the other side also took the midwife to the backyard.
Tonight is the family banquet of Xiangguofu, so the people invited to the banquet are all relatives and friends of Xiangguofu, and the midwife is an exception.
Xiangguo gently pushed open the door and found that his wife had woken up and was in a daze on the bed, while Zhang's mother was making some tea for his wife.
Madam! Wei Xiangguo rushed over excitedly, and his hands tightly grasped his wife's hands.
Messire! He Xingyue is so precious, a Xiangguo, it stands to reason that he has three wives and four concubines, but after being married for so long, Xiangguo has always been accompanied by only her, and she cherishes and loves each other, so even if she gives her life for him in this life, she is willing.
