Shen Shiliu looked at the account book in the room at night, and Du Xuanmo didn't come back very late today.

Han Shuliang has not come back from transporting grain this time, Guan Rongrong is almost away from giving birth, Shen Shimei pondered that he would find a stable woman tomorrow and come back to live first, Guan Rongrong's body is weak, and it is possible that she will be born prematurely.

After reading the account book, Shen Shimei found that it was not too early, and Du Xuanmo should be back late, so he went to bed first.

In the second half of the night, Shen Shiliu was woken up by a quick knock on the door and asked who it was.

"Young grandma, it's me, cucumber, Mrs. Han is going to give birth!" The cucumber's voice was short, and he was about to cry.

Shen Shiliu was in good spirits all of a sudden, Guan Rongrong was about to give birth in the middle of the night?!

Before the clothes were put on, Shen Shiliu hurriedly opened the door and asked, "How are the people now?" ”

"I'm screaming in pain, and my voice is still very small, what should I do?" The cucumber asked, she was also woken up by this shout, if she hadn't slept in the outer room and guarded, it is estimated that she would not have heard this sound in the other door.

Shen Shiliu was anxious, in the middle of the night, there was a curfew in Kyoto City at night, and there were guards patrolling the city outside, so he had to be an assassin when he went out at this time. Now that there is no Lang Zhong and no stable wife in the family, Guan Rongrong's child is too dangerous!

"Quick, call all the people in the house, boil water, prepare basins, and cloth!" Shen Shiliu was also in a panic, she didn't bear fruit, but it seems that these things are used to give birth to children.

As soon as the cucumber was about to run, Shen Shiliu shouted again: "Don't forget to call the old lady too!" "Du Niangzi has also given birth to a child, which is better than her medicine that has never given birth!

Shen Shiliu went back to the house and put on a dress, and when he turned around, he found that there was no Du Xuanmo on the bed in the outer room, and he hadn't even touched the quilt.

"You don't even come home at night?" Shen Shiliu frowned and said, Du Xuanmo had this situation before, but someone came to tell him, but this time he didn't come back without any news, unprecedented!

But Guan Rongrong's situation was urgent, and Shen Shiliu didn't have time to think about what was going on with Du Xuanmo, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the courtyard where the Han family lived.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she could hear Guan Rongrong's faint moaning, she hurriedly ran over, Guan Rongrong was leaning on the bed and her face was pale in pain.

"I'm going to give birth early, and I'm thinking about finding a stable woman to live at home tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to be so much in advance!" Shen Shimei is also anxious, now Guan Rongrong is only eight months, and the normal pregnancy period is more than nine months or even a few months, she takes into account that Guan Rongrong may be born prematurely, but this is a bit too early.

There is an old folk saying, called seven lives and eight are not alive, Shen Shimei pondered, a little afraid, but she felt that there should be no scientific basis for this, basically the child will grow up in seven months, seven months can live, eight months should be no problem!

Guan Rongrong was so painful that it was difficult to breathe, so Shen Shiliu hurriedly went to the cabinet and put the ginseng slices sent earlier into Guan Rongrong's mouth.

Du Niangzi soon came, lifted Rongrong's clothes and took a look, and said, "The amniotic water is broken, hurry up and prepare to deliver the baby!" ”

Shen Pomegranate hurriedly went outside, the cucumber was already guarding, and when he saw Shen Pomegranate coming out, he said: "Fushun and Mancang are already boiling water, and all the ones born are here!" ”

Shen Shiliu glanced at it, and didn't know if it would work, so he said, "Let them hurry up!" ”

The cucumber hurried to urge, and Xiao Tie stood by on the spot.

After a while, the maids of the family came over with basins of hot water, and Shen Pomegranate asked them all to be brought to the house.

"With a little force, if you don't have the strength, this kid will be hanging!" Du Niangzi shouted loudly, Shen Shimei wiped Guan Rongrong's sweat, and said, "Make some effort, the child is about to come out!" She was afraid that Guan Rongrong would not have the strength, and now that the amniotic water has broken, if the child doesn't come out quickly, he will suffocate to death!

Guan Rongrong gritted her teeth and exerted all her strength, and finally heard Du Niangzi shouting: "The head is out, it will be fine immediately!" ”

Shen Shimei saw that his head was about to come out, and he knew that it was okay. But Du Niangzi quickly shouted: "No, the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck!" ”

When Guan Rongrong heard this, she was about to cry, but Shen Shiliu was afraid that Guan Rongrong would lose her strength when she cried, so she said: "Don't be afraid, mother, cut the umbilical cord directly!" ”

When Du Niangzi heard this, she had never done this, and it was the first time she had delivered a baby, and she was afraid that something would happen, so she didn't dare to do it with her hands.

Shen Pomegranate looked at it, he couldn't hesitate at this time, he went over directly, took the scissors and cut the umbilical cord around his neck, Du Niangzi helped to take the child out, and Shen Pomegranate did the aftermath.

Guan Rongrong was already out of strength at this time, and when she heard the child crying, she fainted directly. Shen Shiliu saw that people were dizzy, and quickly stuffed the ginseng slices into it, and Guan Rongrong woke up.

Shen Shimei was very frightened, Han Shuliang was not there, if Guan Rongrong and the child had something to do with them, she would not be able to explain it.

Du Niangzi saw that the child was crying, so she washed it with warm water, wrapped it in a small cup, and hugged it.

"It's a son, you have made meritorious service to their Han family!" Du Niangzi said with a smile, although she was tired enough and scared a lot this night, she was finally not busy in vain.

Shen Shiliu hurriedly asked the cucumber and Xiao Tie to clean the sheets and quilts on the bed, and then let Guan Rongrong sleep for a while.

"Young grandma, I'll keep watch here." The cucumber was also tired when he saw Shen Pomegranate, and Shen Pomegranate shook his head: "I'll keep it too, I don't know how to deal with it after giving birth to a child, and I'm not at ease." ”

Cucumber smiled: "I see that the women in our village don't deal with it when they give birth, and some of them don't even sit down and work in the fields." ”

Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly, some poor people really don't care about that, but postpartum care is really important, especially Guan Rongrong's physique, she is really not at ease.

"When the day is brighter again, I will hurry up to find a Langzhong, and I will be relieved to hear what Langzhong said." Shen Shiliu said.

After staying for half the night, Guan Rongrong slept soundly, and Shen Shiliu saw that Guan Rongrong's face finally recovered a little blood.

"The curfew should be lifted, you go to Langzhong now, just find the Zhao Langzhong who comes to show you on weekdays!" Shen Shiliu asked the cucumber to run errands, and she asked Xiao Tie to go to the kitchen to boil bird's nest, and Guan Rongrong would definitely want to eat when she woke up for a while.

"Then go to the cellar and take out some fresh milk from last night, boil it in a pot and send it over." Shen Shiliu said that Guan Rongrong's milk was insufficient, and she barely ate a few mouthfuls of her baby yesterday and fell asleep, and it is estimated that she will have to be fed breast milk and milk together for the time being.

The cucumber brought Lang Zhong, and after Lang Zhong took the pulse, he said: "There is no problem, but the body is too weak, I gave birth to a child yesterday, and I am afraid that the body will not be able to raise well in a short time, so I must pay more attention, I will prescribe a few medicines, take it for three days first, and then pay attention to the tonic myself." ”

"What about the kid?" Guan Rongrong was a little nervous about the child, after all, she was born prematurely, and she was afraid that there was something wrong.

Lang Zhong picked up the child, untied the little quilt and took a closer look, and said, "No problem, it's a healthy boy!" ”

Shen Shiliu breathed a sigh of relief, asked Xiao Tie to send it off, and turned around and said to Guan Rongrong: "You can rest assured this time, right?" ”

Guan Rongrong smiled, her eyes were also a little red, for such a long time, she had lost a lot of weight for this child, at first she was nauseous and vomiting and couldn't eat, and then she was swollen and uncomfortable, this time she finally had an explanation to the ancestors of the Han family.

"Thank you Pomegranate, if it weren't for you and my aunt yesterday, I might have died with this child!" Guan Rongrong was about to cry again as she spoke.

Shen Shiliu hurriedly stopped: "Don't cry, I'm most afraid of crying in confinement, my eyes should be bad in the future, you just take care of it, Brother Shuliang doesn't know how happy he will be when he comes back!" ”

Shen Shiliu left from Guan Rongrong, exhausted, and the rest was handed over to the cucumber and Xiao Tie.

At this time, it was already dawn, and as soon as Shen Shiliu returned to the room, he saw Du Xuanmo drinking water with a tired face.

"Just back? What happened last night? Why don't you come back and don't have someone send a letter? Shen Shiliu asked.

Du Xuanmo put down the teacup and came over, pulled Shen Shimei to sit down, and then said, "Something happened again, the third prince committed suicide in the prison." ”

When Shen Shiliu heard this, the third prince was the one who rebelled and was imprisoned before.

"I can't think about it, it turned out to be a nobleman, and later he became a prisoner." Shen Shiliu said, she is not incomprehensible to this suicidal mood.

Du Xuanmo shook his head: "The emperor asked Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly, and we have not come out of the palace since we were in the palace." ”

Shen Shiliu nodded, but still asked: "But this matter has been thoroughly investigated by Dali Temple, what does it have to do with your officials?" ”

"The emperor is in a bad mood, the three princes committed suicide, if they don't get it right, they will be used by people with intentions, saying that the emperor is tolerant on the surface, but secretly forced the three princes to death, so the emperor found a lot of ministers to come up with ideas in the palace." Du Xuanmo said.

Shen Shiliu thought for a while and said: "I feel that this time I am tired, how did I die, no one knows, in case it is really forced to death by the emperor, no one cares." ”

"What you said makes sense, so I spent the night in the imperial study last night, and now my legs and stomach are cramping!" Du Xuanmo rubbed his legs as he spoke.

Shen Shiliu smiled, pulled Du Xuanmo to sit on the bed and rubbed a few handfuls, and said while rubbing: "There are really a lot of things this night, and I was scared a lot yesterday when my sister-in-law of the Han family gave birth." ”

"Raw? Son or daughter? Du Xuanmo asked.

"Son, it can be regarded as not busy, but Lang Zhong said that his body will not be able to raise for a while, and it is estimated that this child is the only seedling of the Han family." Shen Shiliu said, although Lang Zhong said it tactfully, but she also heard it, it is estimated that Guan Rongrong herself has a number in her heart, but with such a son, she doesn't ask for anything, Guan Rongrong should be content, so there is no expression of disappointment.

Du Xuanmo yawned, and Shen Pomegranate was also infected, and then the two fell asleep with their arms in their arms.

Shen Shiliu slept for a morning, and then got up and went to the restaurant, Du Xuanmo also hurried to work on an errand after getting up, everyone has to treat the death of the third prince as insignificant, otherwise the emperor will be even more uneasy.
