Red Fort, Queensland

Meditation Pavilion

This is the courtyard where Mrs. Gu Liuyan lives, the original Gusu garden style, the rockery pavilion built by the Taihu Lake stone transported from the south of the Yangtze River, the small bridge and flowing water are winding and quiet, quiet and elegant.

In the main hall of the cornices and arches, dozens of powerful and powerful people gathered, and there were more than a dozen people standing or sitting in the courtyard outside the main hall, looking anxiously looking forward to it.

Mrs. Gu Liuyan was pregnant for ten months, and she was in labor today.

Li Fushou sat on the top seat with a solemn expression, and his brows could not hide a trace of melancholy.

According to the backyard report; Mrs. Gu Liuyan is in an improper fetal position, and she may have a difficult birth.

Li Fushou's heavy mood affected everyone, and everyone was waiting anxiously, at most, they whispered to each other, and no one dared to make a loud noise.

Although the Earl already has four sons and two daughters, it is a pity that they are all from the ladies of the remote house.

Mrs. Gu Liuyan of the main house has no children so far, and now she is pregnant with her first child, but who would have thought that she would be closed by a ghost door of dystocia.

When I was in a meeting today, I suddenly received an urgent report from the back house, which was like a bolt from the blue, Li Fushou immediately put down all the affairs at hand and rushed back, waiting with an uneasy expression, praying silently in his heart...... Don't be fine!

Now this year

A pregnant woman's first birth is a ghost, even if she is a prince and princess.

It's okay to have a smooth birth, as long as there is an experienced midwife, it is not difficult to get through this hurdle.

Red River Valley Hospital has been able to skillfully use caesarean section, and most of the children can be saved, but unfortunately the mother is still 10 caesarean section and 9 deaths, and the biggest difficulty is to be sad to resist the infection.

There are no antibiotic drugs, and the major surgery of a caesarean section is really fatal.

Li Fushou doesn't know how to develop chemicals, so he has nothing to do about it.

He only knew that the original sulfonamide antibiotic drug seemed to be derived from some kind of chemical dye, and it should be some years before it could be developed, so he didn't know much about the specific situation.

In the case of laparotomy, the best medicine that can be used now is Yunnan special gold sore medicine, which can only promote the rapid healing of the incision, and the anti-infection ability is minimal.

"Is the ice house ready?"

"Back to the lord, the ice house is ready, the temperature is kept at about 0 degrees Celsius, and the bedding, incense and brazier in the ice room are all ready and ready to use."

"Where's the doctor?"

"Back to my lord, the three doctors with the most experience in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Red River Valley Hospital are all on standby and ready to respond."

"Alas...... I hope God willing, these things are not needed. ”

"Mrs. accumulates virtue and does good deeds on weekdays, His Majesty is very lenient, everyone such as Mrs. is in the Buddha Hall, praying for the eldest lady, I believe that God will bless her, please relax your mind."

"Alas...... I hope so. ”

Li Fushou sighed, waved his hand gloomily, and the chief housekeeper Li An quietly retreated to the side to serve, at this time, no one dared to say more, no one dared to shake the wit, and it was only right to do what was done in accordance with the rules.

Xin Changjun, who was sitting next to him, opened his mouth and didn't make a sound, and closed it again with a solemn expression, now it's useless to say anything, I can only pray for God's blessing!

The ice house is to pile up an ice wall in the room, so that it can play a role in cooling, in case it really goes to the last step of caesarean section, the low temperature environment can allow the maternal wound to reduce the chance of infection, and survive this ghost gate.

This is expensive, but as long as it can have a role, Li Fushou is willing to try, after all, life is priceless.

At this time, a middle-aged woman hurriedly ran out of the backyard, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the inside and outside of the main hall became silent.

The woman hurried to the main hall and knelt down to pounce; "Lord Earl, Granny Qian and Granny Wu have worked a lot, the fetus is finally in the right position, but the foot came out first, and now only one foot is out, the two mothers-in-law are trying to find a way, and the back house is afraid that the Lord Earl will be anxious, so send me to report first."

This......

After listening to the report, Li Fushou's whole face turned black, he felt the "buzzing" sound of his brain, his hands and feet were numb and weak, and a sense of powerlessness came to his heart.

He was afraid of losing Gu Liuyan in his future life, this smiling little daughter's family has been deeply rooted in his heart, and the touching smile in his memory, the youthful splendor revealed in an instant is always heartbreaking.

People like flowers, their lives are floating in the wind.

Concern is chaotic, at this time, Li Fushou no longer has the calmness to guide the country, huge fear envelops his body and mind, and he can't say anything as if his throat is blocked.

Xin Changjun saw that Lord Earl's face changed suddenly, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he immediately turned his face and shouted; "Shut up, Hugh is talking nonsense, just say whether the child can be born smoothly."

The middle-aged woman trembled with fear from the drink, and replied with a frightened expression; "Hui Yu, this situation has been encountered when Granny Qian delivered the mother before, and in the end, the mother and child were safe, I hope that this time the countess can also survive the catastrophe, but this kind of thing of fishing people at the gate of the Hades Palace, who can say the accurate number......"

"Shut up, the ignorant stupid woman still dares to talk nonsense, tell the midwife in the back house to do everything she can to ensure the safety of adults and children no matter what." Xin Changjun was angry at the moment.

The Earl does not have the name of the lord, but the fact that he is the lord.

At this moment, it is the master mother who is lying on the delivery bed, which is related to the life and death of the master mother and the young master, even if there is a possibility, the feudal courtiers in the hall and the hall do not want to see the accident happen.

"Changjun don't embarrass her, what can a woman's family know?" Li Fushou waved his hand weakly and said to the woman in the hall; "You tell Granny Qian and Granny Wu, as long as you can keep the adults and children, I will not be stingy with you, my lord, and I will give you all the titles and money, and you will come ......"

"Ang Li is here, please ask the master to command."

"Go and give ten gold bars to the two midwives in the back house, if you can keep the wife and children, I will give 10 times the reward, the high-ranking officials can be rewarded, and everyone will be rewarded, please do your best, in case you ......" Speaking of this, Li Fushou choked his throat.

Liu Ruyan's life is like a candle in the wind, and he has never felt so powerless.

What can the dominant side do?

What if you have a net worth of tens of millions?

Li Fushou could only watch his beloved woman wander and struggle on the line of life and death, and he couldn't help at all, so he could only wait for the verdict of fate.

Helplessness, reluctance, panic, and all kinds of complex emotions are intertwined, and he can't talk anymore......

Xin Changjun drove out the middle-aged woman who didn't know anything at this moment, followed by a loud and powerful request, and went away with the big housekeeper Li An.

Li Fushou sat on the chair unrelentingly, worried.

At this moment, there was silence in the main hall, and the solemn atmosphere seemed to have become a substance, and all the officials were silent, waiting anxiously......

An hour, two hours......

I don't know how long it has been

The sun in the sky has set in the west, and it is evening when the sun is full, and the sky is covered with a golden-red fiery cloud, which is beautiful and magnificent under the blue sky.

A loud baby cry of "Wow......" came from the back house, which lifted everyone's spirits.

Li Fushou jumped up from the chair like a spring, walked out of the main hall and walked quickly in the direction of the back house, when a mother-in-law in her fifties ran out of the moon gate in front of her, her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, and there were damp water stains on her arms.

"Granny Wu, how is Madame?" Li Fushou couldn't wait to ask.

"Congratulations to the Earl, congratulations to the Earl, thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva, Mrs. She has finally survived this ghost gate, and now the old and young are safe, Mrs. is overworked and has fallen asleep, and the child will be able to hold it to you later, congratulations to the Earl, Mrs. gave birth to a big fat boy, safe and healthy."

"Good, good, good!"

Li Fushou was excited and said a few words in a row, and swung his fist hard into the void, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, his excitement was difficult to suppress.

This is like the sunrise in the east, the clouds open and the fog disperses, and in an instant, all the dignitaries in the lobby are active, laughing and coming forward to congratulate;

"Madame and son are all safe, Lord Earl, O Heaven! Congratulations. ”

"Congratulations to the Earl, who is happy to have a son, which means that my Red River Valley has been prosperous for generations, and we are honored."

"Who says it's not, now I have a heritage in the Red River Valley, okay!"

"It's all thanks to the blessing of our ancestors, Lord Earl is blessed with great blessings, this matter should be greatly celebrated, this is a grand event that millions of people in my Red River Valley are looking forward to, congratulations!"

"This is a reasonable statement and deserves great celebration."

Everyone congratulated, Li Fushou bowed his hands with joy on his face, and laughter filled this quiet courtyard.

Compared to Fang Cai, it is like two worlds.

At this time, Xin Changjun stood up and pressed down on everyone's hands and said; "The voices of all the gentlemen are quieter, Madame is so tired that she has just fallen asleep, don't wake her up again, let's go to the front and say, the Earl should go to the back house to visit, let's not make trouble here."

This reminded everyone that the voice was much quieter, and Li Fushou once again clenched his fists and made a group; "Thank you for worrying together, fortunately, the emperor blesses the safety of the mother and son, and another day will overhaul the temple and Taoism, reshape the golden body of the Bodhisattva, and worship the Taishang Laojun, so be it for the time being, I will not leave you, tomorrow I will rest for a day, and the day after tomorrow will be held as usual."

After speaking, he turned around and walked happily all the way to the backyard.

In the backyard

The aunts and wives who prayed for Mrs. Liu Ruyan in the Buddhist hall were "chattering" non-stop, and when they saw the old man Li Fushou striding in, they immediately surrounded him to congratulate, not to mention the excitement of Yingying Yanyan.

Whether it's sincere or not, it's good to do it on the face.

Li Fushou waved his big hand with joy and said; "Finally passed this ghost gate, the safety of Mrs. and mother and son is a great joy, it is rare for you to have this heart, each room is rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, ten horses of cloud brocade, and a banquet is held at night to celebrate."

"Thank you, sir." A group of aunts and wives are blessed.

Li Fushou waved his hand and turned around and walked to the main room of the inner house, the two girls who made the curtain hurriedly picked up the beaded brocade curtain, Li Fushou strode in, and the busy girls and women inside saluted one after another, he nodded and went all the way to the inner room.

The curtains are heavy and sandalwood lingers.

A beautifully carved big bed appeared in front of him, this set of big beds is the red sandalwood carved Wangong bed that Gu Fu married, also known as "dial step bed" or "hundred step bed".

This kind of bed shape is tall, the structure is complex, just like a finely carved wooden room, inside a layer of eaves and a layer of eaves, and the married lady has to walk around 100 steps, so it is also called "100 steps bed".

The four corners of the platform on the bottom floor of the bed are inlaid with wooden fences, and the pattern of the bed Fulu Suxi dragon and phoenix is hollow and carved, and the weight of the whole body is as high as 16 kilograms, which looks brilliant and magnificent.

This bed requires more than 20 craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship to build for seven or eight years, consuming tens of thousands of labor, the eaves of the bed body hang down as many as 5 layers, and the hanging is carved with a symbol of longevity, many children and many blessings of exquisite patterns, the momentum is magnificent, the craftsmanship is exquisite and cumbersome.

Tables and stools made of sandalwood are placed in it, and when you enter, it feels like entering a small room, creating a feeling of a bed in a bed and a cover in a cover.

There are sleeping bunks, toilet boxes, dressers, small cabinets, jewelry boxes, snack boxes, mahjong tables, cigarette drawers, auxiliary couches, etc., the eaves of the bed body are hung on the left and right, of which the front eaves have four layers, the back eaves have one layer, and the left and right eaves have two layers each, implying the ninety-five supreme.

From the point of view of shape, it is similar to the square in the middle of the Qing Dynasty to see the nine eaves full of ten thousand beds, but it is more cumbersome and luxurious, and the gold and jade inlaid are extraordinary.

Li Fushou saw from a distance that Gu Liuyan who was lying on the bed had fallen asleep, her face was extremely pale, and her black hair was sweaty as if she had been fished out of the water, and she was really tortured.

Granny Qian is a sturdy old woman in her 50s, who is standing in the dragon and phoenix bed with gold carvings and nine eaves at the moment, when she saw Li Fushou coming in and was about to speak, Li Fushou raised her hand to stop her and whispered; "Don't wake up Madame."

Li Fushou stood outside the bed, seven or eight meters away from the bed, Granny Qian carefully hugged the newborn wrapped in brocade, this wrinkled red-faced little man was less than two palms long, and a feeling of blood connection rose in her heart.

He asked Granny Qian to put the newborn in the cradle around the bed, walked a few steps to the edge of the bed and sat down, stretched out her hand to gently hold Gu Liuyan's slender white hand, and looked at the weak woman who was sleeping as if she had drained all the strength of her body, and felt pity in her heart.

The clan inheritance at the cost of dedicating one's life, with an invisible tragic atmosphere, always makes people inexplicably moved, hitting the softest place at the bottom of the center.

Gu Liuyan risked his death to give birth to a son-in-law for the Li Mansion, and the country laid by Li Fushou finally had an heir, and there were almost no regrets.
