Chapter 353: One More Another
When Huiya was lost and the whole family was making a fuss looking for someone, Cui'er suddenly felt that her stomach was twitching and tightening, which was obviously a portrayal of being born.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly, stretched out her hand to summon Xiangmo, whispered a few words in her ear, and then said to her mother, "Mother, it's late at night, I'm a little sleepy, go back to the front and rest, you can also squint on the bed for a while." ”
"Okay, you should rest too......" Mrs. Ye waited anxiously, and she was also sleepy, so she said casually in a daze. Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Ye suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Cui'er with burning eyes.
Mrs. Ye knew that Cui'er was not a big deal and could still sleep at the moment, so there must be something wrong with her saying this. She was originally worried that Cui'er would give birth prematurely after hearing about Huiya, but now she looked at Cui'er's appearance and her hand slightly protecting her stomach, and she knew it in her heart, "You child, is there movement in your stomach?" ”
"Hehe...... "Cui'er covered her stomach and wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that her stomach twitched, and sweat oozed from the corners of Cui'er's forehead.
"You kid, you want to hide it from me after all the pain is like this?" Mrs. Ye looked at Cui'er like this, and didn't know that she was going to have a stomachache, so she hurriedly stood up, and called Mama Jin and Mama Gui one after another, asking people to prepare a soft sedan chair to send Cui'er to the delivery room.
"Mother, I haven't started giving birth yet, don't worry, don't use a soft sedan chair, I'll walk over slowly, and I'll give birth when I give birth later." Cui'er wiped the sweat from her head and said to her mother with the pain in her stomach. These three courtyards are less than 100 meters away from their own delivery room, so it's just right to take a walk.
"Okay, I'll help you, let's hurry over." Mrs. Ye thought that the delivery room was ready now. But he didn't raise the stove, and he was busy letting the people below prepare.
"Mother, we're going to help too!" Xiao Xia and Xiao Zhao saw that Cui'er was about to give birth, and the guilt in their hearts became stronger and stronger. The two of them stood up hurriedly, and hurriedly called their maids, preparing hot water, and preparing the stove. Prepare clothes for the delivery room. Get busy.
Cui'er held her mother's hand, put on a big umbrella, and slowly walked into her yard. The people over there are already busy. Some people are preparing things for production, some people are going to invite the midwives who have been scheduled, and some people are going to report to Lian Qingshan's family members who are looking for people outside, and they are busy.
Less than a quarter of an hour's work. The second entered the east wing of the courtyard, and Cui'er prepared the delivery room in advance. It was already brightly lit, and it was as warm as spring by Zhang Luo.
Cui'er took off her clothes and changed her clothes and lay on the kang, the clothes were special maternity clothes made by Cui'er and the maids, and the hem was very large. It is convenient to observe the situation when giving birth. The bedding under her body is all newly made by Mrs. Ye, and after washing, it has been scalded with boiling water and exposed to the sun.
That's not all. Xiangye took out a thick stack of honey-colored clothes from the cupboard and handed them out to the maids and daughters who were waiting in the house. Let them all change.
and Mrs. Ye, Xiao Xia and Xiao Zhao, who helped to command, also changed into this kind of honey-colored clothes and put them on the outside of their original clothes, mainly to prevent too many bacteria and dust from bringing unnecessary infections.
After changing her clothes, Mama Gui brought a large bowl full of noodles and five or six poached eggs.
"Cui'er, you eat some first." Mrs. Ye took the big bowl and handed it to Cui'er, persuading Cui'er to eat first.
"Good!" Cui'er knew that in ancient times, women gave birth to children just like breaking through the ghost gate, eating more and having more strength later, and not being hypocritical, while her stomach didn't hurt much, she ate something into her mouth in a big gulp.
"Hey, why is there still a Lantern Festival?" Cui'er ate only salty poached eggs, and halfway through the meal, she found that there were still a few Lantern Festivals in the bowl. This was beyond Cui'er's expectations, and she picked it up and took a bite with great interest, it was a rose red bean paste, the filling was sweet and pleasantly fragrant, but it made Cui'er recall the days when she was in the backing mountain, and her heart was extremely happy.
"Well, the Lantern Festival is good!" After Cui'er finished eating, she still had the heart to evaluate it. Cui'er was helped by the maids to lie on the bed, and she smiled and talked to her mother for a while, and then she felt that the feeling of stomach pain became more and more dense.
Cui'er was lying on the kang, from the beginning she could still listen to her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, but then her heart was full of stomach pain, and she only felt that the night was so long, and even Qingshan didn't come back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this time, in addition to the street illuminated by lanterns, even the small alleys next to it are also brightly lit.
And in this small alley, the reason for the bright lights is nothing else, it is Huiya who has been discovered, and the two parties are in a stalemate.
If you want to say that you found Huiya, you can just take it home, why are you still in a stalemate here? This brings us back to the time when Huiya was dragged away.
Huiya and Ye Lu watched the lights around the lantern riddle stall, and when Ye Lu guessed the lantern riddles, danger quietly approached them.
A middle-aged woman in an earthy red dress patted Huiya on the head for some reason, and Huiya was a little unconscious, and she only heard her calling Miss Miss, so she was vaguely aware of her and wanted to follow her.
Huiya subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and wanted to call for help, but she felt that her throat was choked and she couldn't speak, she couldn't speak or move, and she was dragged away like this.
Fortunately, Ye Lu found out in time, and stared closely at Hui Ya's fiery fox fur, Ye Qing and Ye Bi also followed, so they couldn't let the middle-aged woman who was shooting flowers pull Hui Ya to escape.
But this is not the end of the matter, because the woman who patted the flowers is not alone, seeing Huiya wearing a rich and noble body, with a good-looking face, but a little girl who has no subordinates, where is she willing to let go. After dragging Huiya into the black alley, relying on the fact that he still had seven or eight strong men in the alley, he thought of blatantly robbing people.
If this is placed in someone else's house, you may be afraid when you see seven or eight fierce strong men, but the men of the Ye family are not the kind of cowards. Remembering the experience of Cui'er being taken captive before. In the eyes of the three brothers of the Ye family now, this is like saving Cui'er, and they actually have the ruthlessness to put life and death out of the way.
Although they couldn't attack because of Huiya's safety, the three of them took a group of people but they didn't let them go, and they definitely refused to let them leave without letting them go.
"This lady, you have worked so hard to kidnap people, just for the silver. I have three hundred taels of silver. As long as you let go of the baby in your hand. The money will be yours, and we will never report it to the officials, do you say? "Ye Bi is the most slippery of the three brothers. Seeing Huiya's slender neck pinched in her hand, she only felt her heart beat violently, and she wished that she had a sword in her hand that could instantly kill everyone in front of her. to repay Cui'er's revenge when she was taken captive.
"Three hundred taels of silver?" The seven or eight strong men were obviously a little tempted, and when they saw Ye Bizhen take out three silver tickets of one hundred taels from his body. This is even more exciting.
"Don't believe him, there are so many of them, if we let this child go, maybe he will be arrested for his backhand." The woman was also moved when she saw the silver. But there are a few more hearts than the strong men, and his eyes are rolling wildly.
"Otherwise, you let her go. I'll take you hostage, and you'll put me back when you're in a safe place. Chlorophyte took two steps forward. Said with open hands.
"This ......" The mother-in-law at the head looked at Ye Lu, although he was tall, but thin like a bean sprout, and he didn't look more difficult to cure than the little girl in his hand, and he was hesitating, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it was someone from the Ye family's side again.
"Big brother, second brother, Lu'er, how is Huiya's situation?" Lian Qingshan jumped off the horse and rushed to the front, wanting to ask about the situation. Seeing Huiya being choked by the neck, her brows were furrowed.
"Huiya?!" At this time, a young man in silver armor looked forward and backward in a daze, blurted out Huiya's name, and his voice was full of shock and joy, as if his long-lost family had been seen again.
As soon as this voice came out, the three brothers of the Ye family and even Qingshan were stunned, "Qingshan, who is this?" ”
"Ah, this is Brother Zhao, the captain of the city defense army I invited to help us find Huiya." Lian Qingshan's luck was good, he happened to meet someone from the Zhao family on duty, and when he heard that Lian Qingshan had a request, the leader of the city defense army surnamed Zhao sent his own son and nephew out, that is, this Zhao captain.
But why would the captain of a city defense army know Hui Ya, Lian Qingshan didn't think about it, and there was nothing else to do but look at it stunned.
Hui Ya, who was pinched by the woman on the side of "Third Uncle ......", was surprised to shed tears when she saw the captain surnamed Zhao, and even the dizziness that had just been photographed was washed away, "Third Uncle......
"Huiya, don't be afraid, the third uncle is here to save you!" The third uncle proved what Captain Zhao thought in his heart, and made him so excited that he almost burst into tears.
He stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword at his waist, pointing at the strong men who were still confronting the Ye family in the alley just now, "I am the captain of the army guarding the city, and the crime of kidnapping people in the streets of the imperial city is unforgivable. ”
To say that when he accompanied Lian Qingshan just now, the captain surnamed Zhao looked like a big cat with claws, but now he seemed to be a tiger coming down the mountain, and the sword light in his hand was cold, and it actually chilled the hands and feet of the person opposite.
"Sister-in-law, what should I do?" One of the strong men asked the woman who was holding Huiya in her hand.
"The city defense army surnamed Zhao killed many of our brothers, and now they can't be good if they meet them!" The woman didn't know why, but she was ruthless, "Since this little girl is a member of the Zhao family of the city defense army, she just uses her life to sacrifice your eldest brother!" ”
When she spoke, she gathered her fingers together and tried to strangle Huiya alive.
"Ahh At this critical moment, Hui Ya didn't know where the strength came from, and a golden light flashed in her hand, and she actually poked the hairpin in her hand into the woman's arm.
Hui Ya hit the blow, broke away from the woman's coercion, and rushed forward desperately, and several strong men behind her saw this scene and wanted to chase forward, but they were nailed to the spot by a series of sword lights.
When Huiya and Captain Zhao were both brought back to the Ye Mansion, Cui'er's production had already been launched for more than an hour. After listening to the news of Huiya's safety and seeing this thin person in front of her eyes, Cui'er was relieved, and at this time she only felt a sharp pain coming, and then she suddenly relaxed.
Huiya came back safely, and Cui'er also gave birth to a son after learning the good news, and the thrilling Lantern Festival finally came to an end. (To be continued)
