Chapter 205: Giving Birth
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the weather began to be cold, and Zheng found a midwife and a nurse to put them at home first, and Shen Shimei felt that it was a little too early.
"It's not early, but I heard that the daughter-in-law of the Han family was born prematurely, your body is so weak now, you have to be ready for everything, your mother-in-law also said that this midwife should be found, you just listen to the old man!" Zheng said.
Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly: "Mother, do you think I'm 'weak'?" "Since Shen Shimei passed August 15, her body has become fatter and fatter day by day, and she is afraid that she will return to her previous meat balls, and she will not dare to eat Haisai nonsense.
Zheng smiled: "Obedient, don't worry!" β
Shen Shiliu nodded, anyway, the midwife didn't delay anything when she put it at home, she found it first.
Shen Shiliu had calculated before that she was born in mid-November, but this person is not the same, and it is impossible to say whether it will be early or later, but she still hopes that Du Xuanmo can come back to accompany her sooner, the mood of being a mother for the first time cannot be understood by others, and she does not expect Du Xuanmo to understand, and she does not understand what it is like to be a father, she just hopes that someone will be at ease when she is with her.
Du Xuanmo on the other end was also anxious, half a month had not yet arrived, and it would take two months to go back and forth, and he had no idea whether he could rush back before Shen Pomegranate gave birth, but he was so light and light all the way, and there would not be too much time to delay.
In September, Du Xuanmo finally arrived, and this trip lasted for nearly a month, Du Xuanmo and the military department went to change the tiger talisman together, and the process was also extremely careful.
"Master Du, Rong Mo will check." The general of the frontier took out his half of the tiger talisman and matched it with the half brought by Du Xuanmo, which was tightly fitted and not bad at all, so he changed the tiger talisman with confidence. Du Xuanmo watched the whole process, and he couldn't rest assured until the end.
"The official has to return to his life when he goes back, and we will leave tomorrow!" Du Xuanmo said that resuming his life is actually only one aspect, and he is really in a hurry to go home.
As soon as Gu Yuanzheng, the soldier squire, heard that he had just come and left, he asked, "So anxious?" Don't you trim it up? β
"It should be enough to repair for one night, and now the old and new sets of tiger talismans are in the barracks, it's really inappropriate, it's better to separate them earlier." Du Xuanmo said, this time he is an envoy, even if the level of the squire of the military department is not small, but it is only a supervisory role, if Du Xuanmo says anything, he can only follow.
"That'...... Just listen to Lord Du! Gu Yuanzheng felt bitter, he didn't have a good rest all the way these days, he thought that he would rest in this barracks for three days first, but it was too fast.
Du Xuanmo directly took the new half of the tiger talisman and the old set to the camp tent to rest first, just in case, Du Xuanmo also deliberately carried all the tiger talismans with him and slept with his clothes.
The next day, the team pulled out the village, and Du Xuanmo's heart was like an arrow, but halfway through, he caught up with the heavy snow and closed the mountain!
"Master Du, the university is closed, even if you have to clear the road while walking, it will take some time!" Gu Yuanzheng came over to ask Du Xuanmo's opinion.
"Just according to Gu-sama's wishes." Du Xuanmo said very politely, but as soon as he turned his head, his face darkened, this god can also joke, it will take at least five days to clear the snow on this mountain road, otherwise so many cars and horses will go up, it is likely that something will happen, and he can't not take the lives of so many soldiers seriously in order to go home early.
Gu Yuanzheng directly ordered to set up camp, and then it was a long process of clearing snow.
"Lord Du seems to be in a hurry to go back, the emperor should not have set a deadline, and Lord Du doesn't need to be so anxious." Gu Yuan levied into the camp tent to roast the fire.
Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly, he was also in a mess, and he actually let Gu Yuanzheng see that he was anxious, so he said: "This tiger talisman is not trivial, don't delay if you can not delay on the road, if something really happens, don't talk about you and me, these soldiers behind you have no way to live, you must be vigilant again." β
Gu Yuanzheng nodded, it is indeed good to be cautious, and if you want to get a good night's sleep now, you can only wait until you return to Kyoto City.
Du Xuanmo was sleepy on the mountain road for six days, as soon as the mountain road was cleared, he hurriedly left, and when he arrived at the nearest town, Du Xuanmo also had to order the repair for two days, it was really a tiring job to clear the mountain road, and the soldiers were staying up like this, and the body could not stand it.
Du Xuanmo originally wanted to write a letter, but after thinking about it, it is estimated that the messenger is not as fast as his own march, and in the end he did not write, seeing that it is the end of October, and there are still six or seven days away from Luo'an City, and he doesn't know if it will be too late.
On the other end, Shen Pomegranate's stomach has not moved, but because it is almost there, there is still some anxiety every day, and the midwife will come to see Shen Pomegranate's stomach every day, and there is no movement after that.
"Pomegranate, what if this baby is really a girl?" Zheng was a little anxious, Du Niangzi had always been polite in front of her mother's family, but if Shen Shiliu didn't have a first child, there would be only one boy left, and their mother's family would be disgraced.
Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly: "The girl is the girl, it's all the meat that fell from my body!" β
Zheng also knew that Shen Shiliu understood what she meant, but it was useless to say some words, I just hoped that God would let Shen Shiliu have a son left, so that her daughter's status in her in-law's family would be firm.
Lang Zhong came to the pulse every three days, and finally said: "The young grandmother's pulse has no movement at all, it's strange!" Lang Zhong saw that Shen Pomegranate's belly was big enough, and the month was almost the same, and it was time to give birth, but the pulse was stable and ruthless, and there was no movement at all!
"It won't happen in a few days, right?" Shen Shiliu asked, some little babies have a lack of oxygen to the brain because they stay in their mother's womb for an extra day or two, and she is also afraid that there is something wrong with the child.
Lang Zhong shook his head: "It's really not time to look at the pulse, it's best not to take the initiative to give birth, this will hurt the mother a lot, and if you don't get it right, it's one corpse and two lives!" β
Lang Zhong's words also scared Shen Shimei, the proliferative drug is indeed an unsettling factor, it seems that in ancient times, there were concubines who used this method of inducing birth in order to give birth to the prince first, and in the end, it seemed that there was no good end. Now that the medical conditions are limited, it is unlikely that she will have a direct caesarean section even if she wants to, so she can only wait.
Five days after November, Du Xuanmo's team finally returned, although he wanted to come back immediately, but he still had to go to the palace first, hand over the talisman, and the rest was that the talisman destroyed the old talisman and had nothing to do with him.
Du Niangzi waited at the gate until she craned her neck, and heard that Du Xuanmo had entered the city in the morning, but it was noon, and no one came out, which made people die in a hurry!
"Mother, haven't you come back yet?" Shen Pomegranate also came out, and Lang Zhong asked her to move around more, so that she could be less dangerous when she had a big belly and gave birth.
Du Niangzi saw that Shen Pomegranate came out, so she came over to help her and said, "It stands to reason that you should come back, and so is the emperor, what can't you say later?" β
Du Xuanmo's heart was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot in the palace, the emperor took the recruit talisman to recall the past and tomorrow, and the energy was endless, and he couldn't interrupt directly, he could only listen. In the end, the emperor said that he was tired before he released him, Du Xuanmo was free, so he ran directly outside the palace, got into the carriage when he left the palace, and rushed home non-stop.
As soon as Du Niangzi turned around, she happened to see her carriage coming back, so she said: "Come on, come on, the carriage has arrived!" β
Hearing that Du Xuanmo was back, Shen Shiliu suddenly felt a cramp in his stomach, and then there was a sharp pain, and cold sweat was dripping.
"Mother...... I have a stomachache...... Shen Shiliu pulled Du Niangzi.
Du Niangzi was still waiting for her son's carriage to come over with a happy face, but as soon as she turned around, Shen Pomegranate was about to give birth, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly helped people up and called people over.
"Come on, the young grandmother is going to give birth, hurry up and take the person back to the room first!" Du Niangzi panicked, and Xiao Tie hurriedly came over to hug someone.
"I'll do it." At this time, Du Xuanmo happened to get out of the car, and seeing that Shen Shimei was about to give birth, he directly picked up the person and went to his small courtyard.
Shen Shiliu looked at Du Xuanmo and asked, "Are you back......?"
"Well, don't talk, save some strength!" Du Xuanmo said that it was really time for him to come back.
Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly in his heart, and finally said: "This child may not be born until you come back......"
In a panic, Shen Shimei was put on the bed, and the midwife Zheng and Du Niangzi were busy inside, and Du Xuanmo was driven directly out of the door.
Shen Shiliu felt that the screams of giving birth to children in the TV before were so loud and fake, how could he still scream when he had a stomachache?
"The young grandmother can not shout without shouting, save the strength to give birth to the child for a while, now the pain is normal, the young grandmother insists on insisting!" The midwife is on hand to give guidance.
Shen Shiliu nodded, now she listened to what the midwife said, and even told the midwife how to breathe, but the pain was too long.
Du Xuanmo couldn't hear any movement outside, in fact, he was even more scared in his heart, and he was so anxious to walk around at the door, his brows furrowed tightly.
The cucumber took the maids to boil water directly, Xiao Tie saw Du Xuanmo walking back and forth, and said, "Young master, don't mess around, you want hot water for a while, you will get in the way!" β
The cucumber almost spit out a mouthful of blood, Xiao Tie is too naΓ―ve, can the young master say it casually?
When Du Xuanmo heard this, he hurriedly got out of the place, without the slightest intention of being angry, but the anxious look on his face never went.
Shen Pomegranate was in pain for half an hour, and the midwife saw that it was finally almost over, so she asked Shen Pomegranate to work hard. Shen Shiliu scolded in pain, why is it a woman who gives birth to a child, why can't a man give birth to a baby!
Du Xuanmo listened to Shen Shimei's moaning sound from time to time outside the door, and cold sweat also came down, but then there was a cry.
"Is it a son or a daughter?" Zheng asked first, and Du Niangzi next to him also became nervous.
The midwife said, "It's a daughter, and she's a little thin!" β
Zheng's heart was cold, and after taking over the swaddling clothes, he saw that Du Niangzi also had an embarrassment on her face. As a result, Shen Pomegranate cried out that it hurt again, and the midwife was shocked, so she hurriedly went to work again, and soon wrapped another one!
"Oh, it's a dragon and phoenix fetus, it's a little boy!" The midwife also had a happy look on her face, Shen Pomegranate's belly didn't look much bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women, and she didn't even see that there were two dolls inside!
