With the smooth implementation of the system of separating personnel from the army, the third change has been implemented, that is, the implementation of a new training assessment, the key to training lies in the commander, the commander is hardworking, then the soldier is well trained, if the commander is lazy, the soldier will be slack, so the assessment of the commander is very important.

According to the current situation, the pacification envoy department has formulated a method of basic training plus reward training, the basic training is that there must be two hours a day, and if it is not completed, the military will be deducted, and if the training time is exceeded, the training time will be capped at four hours a day, and the military officials and meritorious officials of the capital camp are responsible for their respective assessments.

It should be noted here that the original six officials of each battalion were abolished after the implementation of the art of war, and the six officials were located in the capital camp and were subordinate to the pacification envoys, and were not subject to the jurisdiction of the metropolitan commanders.

In this way, the six officials are not affected by the army, and in addition, the two-way assessment of the military officials and the meritorious officials, as well as the inspection of the military justice inspectors of the pacification department, it is basically difficult to cheat in training.

This puts a great pressure on the commanders, and if they fail to complete the basic training six times a year, they will be demoted, and if they fail to complete the basic training for three consecutive years, they will be dismissed from their military posts.

The training and assessment method is the longest time for these military law changes, and it takes half a year to see the effect of the law change, which is also the main reason why Zhao Zhongzhen needs a year to change the law.

In mid-September, Fanning had been away from home for almost a month, and he was still inspecting the training reform of the military camp in Laizhou, but his family in Yingtianfu began to be nervous, Zhu Pei's due date came, and Zhu Pei's mother Wang also rushed to Yingtianfu, and the family invited three experienced midwives to midwifery.

Since ancient times, women giving birth to children are a ghost gate, mainly without caesarean section, once the fetal position is reversed, that is, the mother and child are dead, the general family of wealthy families will spend a lot of money to invite experienced midwives to come to the door after six months of childbirth, to help check the fetal position, once the fetal position is found to be incorrect, then restorative correction, generally can be slowly corrected.

Poor families can not afford to hire a midwife, and finally the midwife came when she was in labor, and if it was found that the fetal position was reversed, it would be difficult to rescue, which was also an important reason for the high maternal mortality rate of poor families.

Zhu Pei is approaching the due date, the family jumps up and down, changing tricks to toss people, but it is bitter that Zhu Pei, who likes to be quiet, the midwife has to come three times a day, take a bamboo tube and aim it at her stomach to listen to the fetal sound, Zhu Pei began to refuse, but the midwife coaxed her to say that she could distinguish between men and women, and Zhu Pei followed.

But soon she was confused again, and the doctor said that it was impossible to hear men and women, and this old woman who looked like an owl could hear men and women?

"Madam, she is the most famous midwife in Songcheng County and even Yingtianfu, I heard that she is especially good at correcting the fetal position, she has delivered for forty years, and less than five fetuses have died in her infancy, and now she rarely delivers babies, and it will cost her twenty yuan to invite her to come for a day."

Aya saw that Mrs. didn't like this midwife very much, so she explained with a smile: "I heard that it is very difficult to give birth to a child, once the fetal position is not correct, it is a difficult birth, and adults and children cannot survive dystocia, so Mrs. Qian insisted on inviting this horse midwife." ”

Thinking of Sister Qian's care for herself, Zhu Pei felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart, money is not important, the important thing is that Sister Qian is really trying her best to keep her child.

She was worried that Ouyang Qian would have some kind of idea of correcting, so she had been a little wary of her, but Ouyang Qian's sincerity moved her and made her silently grateful.

"Aya, I want the baby in my womb to be a girl." Juppé suddenly said without a head.

"Apei, what nonsense are you talking about, everyone wants to have a son, just you want a daughter." Wang, the mother sitting on the side, was a little upset with her daughter's weird thoughts.

Zhu Pei smiled shallowly, her beautiful face showed a hint of the tenderness of a first-time mother, her mother would not understand her own thoughts, although the boy was good, but she liked girls in her heart, and she could wear beautiful dresses every day.

"Aya, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while, you ask everyone to talk as quietly as possible, I haven't slept well in the past two days."

"Okay, I'll go and command."

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard outside, and the two maids shouted, and Aya ran out angrily and shouted, "Don't make noise, be quiet!" ”

"Madam, the official is back."

In the room, Juppey was just about to close his eyes, when he suddenly heard this, and couldn't help but 'Ah! He scrambled to sit up, and was very happy that her husband went to inspect the training situation in various places, and after walking for more than half a month, he actually came back early.

At this time, Fanning's excited laughter came from the courtyard, "Aya, where is Madame?" ”

"Official, be quiet, Madame is sleeping."

"Nope!" Zhu Pei hurriedly said loudly: "I didn't sleep, husband, come in!" ”

The door opened, Fan Ning walked in quickly, but a group of women followed, mother Zhang Sanniang, and his wife Ouyang Qian led their daughter, Jian Meizi also happened to come in, and then behind, her sister Ado was not willing to be lonely and followed in.

All of his family came.

Fanning squatted down in front of Zhu Pei's bed, held her hand and asked, "Sister Qian wrote to me, saying that you have entered labor, and I will rush back in advance, how are you now?" ”

Zhu Pei glanced at Ouyang Qian gratefully, it turned out that she had written a letter, and her husband rushed back in advance, and said in a low voice: "Thanks to everyone's careful care, the state has been very stable, I have been popular this morning, and it is estimated that it will only be these two days." ”

Zhang Sanniang smiled at her mother-in-law: "This is a big thing for our family, and we have a child, thinking that the family will be lively in the future, and my neck is looking forward to growing!" ”

Wang was also very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "I'm also looking forward to being a grandmother, Ah Qian, you go and prepare hundreds of cakes and red eggs, and ask the housekeeper to send them to the neighbors today, so that everyone can touch my joy." ”

Ah Duo next to him pursed his lips and smiled: "Auntie, didn't you say that you gave birth to Xiaolang to the red egg, and gave birth to the little lady to the silk flower, we will send the red egg out today, is it too early?" ”

Wang said with a smile: "I'm really happy and confused, then prepare the red eggs and silk flowers, and the cakes are also ready, and when Pei'er gives birth to a child, we will immediately arrange for the housekeeper to send it out." ”

Early the next morning, Fan Ning planned to go to the official office of Yingtianfu to take a look, but as soon as he walked a few steps, Aya ran out in a panic and shouted: "Official, Madame may be about to give birth!" ”

Fan Ning was startled, he was fine just now, how could he give birth in a blink of an eye, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted and ran over, in the room of the inner house, Zhu Pei covered his stomach, sweating profusely.

Wang also heard the news and rushed over, seeing her daughter's appearance, she immediately realized that the birth canal had begun to expand, she was experienced, and hurriedly instructed Aya: "Hurry up and arrange the kitchen to boil hot water, the more the better." ”

"Meizi, you help Pei'er onto the rattan bed, and hurry up to the delivery room, and A-Ning will help carry it together."

Fanning helped his wife onto the rattan bed, he and Jian Meizi went one after the other, Mrs. Wang and a maid supported Jupei, and everyone quickly sent Jupei to the prepared delivery room, at this time, the three midwives who lived in the outer house also hurried over.

Zhang Sanniang went to invite the doctor and sat in the guest hall to wait to prevent emergency rescue in case of accidents.

At this time, the midwife who looked like an owl invited Fan Ning out of the room, and said with a smile: "When giving birth, men must avoid it, even if the husband is no exception, please invite the big officials to go to the middle hall to rest, generally the men in the back house have to avoid it, the yang energy is too heavy, and it is not good for the mother." ”

"Is it normal for my wife to be like this?"

"Madame is completely normal, don't worry!

Fanning didn't understand why the man couldn't stay in the backyard, but he heeded the advice and retreated to the gate of the atrium, pacing anxiously back and forth in the gate.

An hour later, he suddenly heard the noise in the back house, Fan Ning was in a hurry, and hurriedly walked to the inner house, just entered the inner house, and saw Aya hurriedly running to report the good news, "Official, Mrs. has given birth, a big fat son, mother and son are safe!" ”

Fanning was so happy that he finally had a son.

For a few days, the Fan family was in a festive mood, and each of the surrounding neighbors sent a basket of red cakes, according to Jiangnan customs, twelve red eggs in the basket should be sent, and five catties of cakes should be sent.

As for the people of Fan's house, each person gave ten yuan of happy money, and the three midwives were rewarded with fifty taels of silver each.

The Fan family added a son, Zhang Sanniang was even more excited and sad, the Fan family finally had a third generation, if her husband was still alive, he would be a grandfather now, but unfortunately he couldn't wait for this day.

Wang took his mother to go to the city's largest Hongfu Temple to burn incense and restore, and donated 500 catties of sesame oil to his grandson, Zhang Sanniang was even more generous, donated 5,000 yuan for his grandson, and reshaped the golden body of the Buddha, which surprised the monks of the temple, and the abbot Lingyun took the initiative to do a ritual for the son of Fan Zhifu to protect his safe growth.

Three days later, Zhu Pei went out of the delivery room and returned to his living room to start confinement, but fortunately, the summer heat of the autumn tiger had receded, and the weather was already a little cool in late autumn.

The room was very clean and tidy, and the incense burner was lit with sandalwood, which made the room extra comfortable and warm.

Zhu Pei sat on a high couch for confinement, a bit like a kang in the north, but it was wooden, covered with a thick mattress, and a small table was placed, Zhu Pei wore a warm hat and a thick home clothes, she gently shook the cradle, and said to Fanning: "Actually, I think that confinement should be careful not to suffer from the cold, but my mother is not allowed to do this, and forced me to wear a hat, hey!" I don't know what to say about her. ”

Fan Ning smiled: "Listen to them, anyway, you are quite comfortable now, by the way, the child, I think of his name Fan Guangjing, he happens to be the Guangzi of the Fan family, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Pei thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's like your name should be Fan Mingning, which belongs to the Ming character generation, but you are blind, and you are called Fan Ning directly, I think it's pretty good, since Daddy has a precedent, why can't the son follow, just call Fan Jing Duohao, remove the light word." ”

Fan Ning nodded and smiled: "Then listen to you, my son's name is Fan Jing!" ”
