After another half an hour, the cry of a child as weak as a cat sounded in the room, Han Ji stood up on his legs and asked, "Is the child born?" ”

"One was born, and another was born." The old doctor said.

Han Ji sat back again, and when he saw the door open, he stood up again, and it was his mother-in-law who came out with a bucket of steaming blood. He subconsciously pinched his hands to suppress his panic, on the battlefield, a man should die if he shed so much blood.

"Why didn't you hear the scream, you go in and take a look." He instructed the old doctor.

The old doctor sighed, whose daughter-in-law is giving birth? He walked to the door, and there was another muffled roar in the room, and he turned his head to look at the young general, and sat down on the steps with his trouser legs up.

I don't know how long it was, but there was no sound on the island, and the sound of the waves clearly pierced through the night and poured into people's ears. The rats in the hole in the wall smelled the fragrance and ran out, crept up the food box, the claw grinding on the wood was piercing, the butler outside the door came in and kicked it, and the rat swooped away.

The footsteps in the house were urgent, and Shen Sui ran out with a purple baby girl in his arms, and shouted eagerly: "Doctor, come and see, she won't cry." ”

In an instant, the midwife in the house shouted, "Doctor, come quickly, the bleeding can't stop." ”

The doctor stood under the eaves and looked at the child and asked, "Bao adult or child?" ”

"My lord, go and save my daughter-in-law." Shen Sui said with a crying tone, he took the child and urged the doctor to go in.

The door didn't have time to close, Han Ji walked over and took a look inside, the dim candlelight was difficult to illuminate the whole room, and there seemed to be a fierce beast hidden in the half-bright and half-dark shadows.

"The housekeeper will call the doctor again." Han Ji shouted outside, he took the child in Shen Sui's hand and said, "I'll try, I know a little medicine." ”

He took off his robe and put it on the ground, the child put it down, he broke the child's mouth, wiped the things in his nose with the corner of his clothes, supported his neck with one hand and patted his back with the other, and asked calmly: "How do you make the child cry?" ”

Shen Sui picked up the child's feet and learned the midwife's movements to hit the child's feet.

The unguarded food box was knocked down by the rats, and it was so frightened that it slipped into the hole, and when it found that no one was paying attention to the movement here, it squeaked a few times, swished and swooped over to eat the meat and vegetables.

The baby girl in the house suddenly burst into tears, Han Ji and Shen Sui were stunned for a moment, the joy was not on their faces, and they found that it was not the cry of the child in their hands, and the two were stunned for a moment and continued to move.

Han Ji was the first to notice the pulse beating sound under his fingers, he paid close attention to it, and said, "The child has a pulse, is the doctor here?" ”

It was too pleasantly surprised, and the voice was sharp and piercing.

The midwife walked out quickly, she picked up Shen Sui and took the child and lifted it up and spanked it, I don't know if it was five or six times, and a faint muttering sound sounded in the slap.

"She cried." Han Ji heard it.

The doctor also came, he took the child into the house to check the pulse, and the mother-in-law who put the hand on the table brought warm water, and he soaked the child in warm water to warm up.

"How?" Shen Sui asked.

"The heart and lungs are weak, so they should be carefully nourished." The doctor said.

"It's not a problem, there is no shortage of good medicinal herbs in my family." Han Ji spoke.

"The bleeding stopped." The midwife's voice rang out in the inner room.

"Pour the remaining half of the ginseng decoction into her." The old doctor gave the last needle, went out and said to Shen Sui: "Madame's life has been saved, thanks to the old ginseng sent by the young general, but she was injured this time, and I am afraid she will not be able to regenerate in the future." ”

"You can't give birth well, you can't give birth to it, you can't give birth to death." Shen Sui was glad that he was satisfied if he could save his life, and he didn't want to experience this again tonight.

Han Ji breathed a sigh of relief, he began to rejoice that Haizhu couldn't get pregnant at this time, which was great.

"Also, during the confinement period, people can't get out of bed, let her lie down in the first half month, and try to sit up in the second half of the month, it's best to sit in two confinements, so that she can take care of herself." The midwife came out and instructed, and she glanced at the child and said, "It is better to ask a nurse for the child." ”

"I'll go out and inquire when it's dawn." Shen Sui said.

"Then we'll keep watch until dawn, and the adults and children will get through it before leaving." Han Ji opened his mouth and said, "I asked the housekeeper to buy food and come over, Grandma, you go and heat it up, let the doctor and the midwife fill their stomachs, and pick you up when the child is washed and sit on the top seat." ”

"That's what we're supposed to do." The midwife said politely, but when she heard this, she felt that the night had not been in vain.

"The food was gnawed by rats." Grandma went out and came in again.

"The rats have come to save the children from misfortune, so they should be invited to eat." Han Ji walked out of the door and asked the housekeeper to go back and let the cook fry a few simple dishes, and then cook the pot powder and send it.

After about half an hour, the food was delivered, the smell of blood in the courtyard faded, the moon came out of the clouds, the housekeeper set a table in the courtyard, and the hungry people in the middle of the night relaxed their tense nerves and began to eat.

Unconsciously, the darkness of the night faded away, and the sky took on a blue-black color, and in an instant, a faint morning light appeared in the eastern sky.

It's dawn.

Shen Sui sent the doctor and the midwife away first, and when he came back, Han Ji walked out with the housekeeper, he walked over and knelt at Han Ji's feet.

"What is this for? Get up. Han Ji dragged him.

Shen Sui kowtowed firmly against his strength, once, twice, three, and four.

"I thank you for our family of four."

Chapter 206: Take the parrot on a boat

Han Ji went back to take a shower and have breakfast and slept directly for most of the day, he slept without burden, Shen Sui couldn't rest, he kept looking for a nurse to feed the child, and went to the dock to find a merchant ship heading west to bring a message to his family and the Yue family. Walking on the street when he came back, he took the prescription to the hospital to grab medicine for Qingman, and when he went back, Yao Qingman woke up, and he sat on the edge of the bed with the stewed soup and fed her spoonful by spoonful.

Drinking the soup, Yao Qingman's tears came out again, The pain that was numb to the point of pain last night surfaced, and her whole body hurt from head to toe.

"I almost died last night." She said weakly, "I'm not going to give birth again."

"Not anymore." Shen Sui stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and said, "I was thinking last night, if you have a good one, I will also go down to accompany you." ”

"Don't lie to me."

"I kid you not." Shen Sui continued to feed her soup and said, "The old doctor said that you have injured your body, and you will not be able to regenerate in the future, so you can rest assured, it will not regenerate." ”

Yao Qingman lowered her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the news, she was only seventeen years old, she hadn't lived enough, she didn't want to die early, and she didn't want to die giving birth.

After drinking the soup again, she shook her head and stopped drinking, raised her eyes and asked worriedly with tears: "The eldest sister and the second sister are both girls, will our mother dislike them because she doesn't like me?" I'm broken again, she can't hold her grandson, will she hate me even more? ”

"No, she has grandchildren, not one or two in our family."

Yao Qingman was disappointed, she closed her eyes and said: "Your mother can't look down on me, so I will endure it, she gave birth to you, and I like you, so I can bear her." If she dislikes my two daughters and hates me for not being able to regenerate, Shen Sui I tell you, if you can't support our mother's three, I will take the child back to my parents' house when I am confined, and that island will feed me and them. ”

Shen Sui was silent for a moment, nodded and said yes. He scooped a spoonful of soup and said, "Drink some more, you are weak, you lost a lot of blood last night, and your mattress is soaked." ”

Yao Qingman turned his head and opened his mouth to force himself to continue drinking, and after two sips, he couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?" Shen Sui asked.

"They all said that the girl should get married and have children when she is older, but no one told me that giving birth to a child hurts so much that it almost killed me. Did you thank the Major General? Without the old ginseng he gave, my body was cold. ”

"Thanks, don't worry about this, eat more, drink more, and sleep more." Shen then picked a piece of stewed chicken thigh meat and fed it to her.

Yao Qingman chewed a few mouthfuls and couldn't swallow it, she covered it with a handkerchief and spit it out, saying, "I can't eat, I'll sleep for a while." ”

"Okay, you sleep." Shen Sui took the handkerchief and went out, he raised his head and drank the soup in the bowl, chewed the meat and swallowed it, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and went to the next room to see the two children, the younger one was beaten a lot, with slap marks on the soles of his feet, and finger prints on the corners of his mouth and neck.

……

In the evening, Han Ji brought two servants over with a box of warm and tonic medicinal materials, which were all prepared for Haizhu before, and each medicinal material was bought by him with a lot of effort, and they were all excellent medicinal materials. Haizhu didn't want to drink it anymore before, but now he doesn't want her to drink it anymore, so he simply takes it out and gives it to those who need it.

"You look for a doctor to see which herbs are suitable for stewing for adults to drink, the child is weak and can't drink medicine, so choose a suitable stew for the nurse to drink, and the nurse will also make up for the child after drinking." Han Ji instructed one by one, and comforted him: "Don't worry about the weak child not being able to raise it, it was the same when he was born with a long life, he was sick since he was a child, and now he is also alive." ”

Thinking of longevity, Shen Sui felt relieved, and he inquired: "The longevity of the body is also recuperated by Dr. Mu?" ”

"Doctor Mu mostly took care of my father's body, and the imperial doctor in the palace took care of his longevity at that time." Han Ji thought for a while and said, "The long-lived nurse knows more about this matter, I will go to Yongning another day to bring people back and let her come over temporarily to take care of the two children." ”

"I don't know how to thank you......"

"Just stop kowtowing." Han Ji patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You also helped me, I am here to pay off my debts." ”

Shen Sui smiled and sighed: "Last night I was still scolding God for not opening my eyes, I saved a lot of hard-working girls, but he made my wife and daughter suffer from dystocia. Now I think about it, it is the accumulation of virtue in front of you and Haizhu, and I met Haizhu and you, so the three of them can turn the corner. ”

"Don't think about messy things and take good care of your family." When it was time for dinner again, Han Ji didn't stay longer, he excused himself to go out under the pretext that there was still something in the barracks.

"By the way, the day after tomorrow, did your daughter Xisan inform Haizhu?" Out of the door, Han Ji turned around and asked.

Shen Sui understood what he meant, nodded and said, "I asked someone to bring her a letter, she should come over tomorrow night." ”

Han Ji was immediately happy.

Haizhu just received a message, Mao Xiaoer sent her a message, and then turned around and went to Shen Yuguan's house, no, it's the old Yu official, and now Yongning Town has a new Yu official.

"Uncle, congratulations, there is another happy event in the family." Mao Xiaoer was brought in by his subordinates, and when he saw someone, he said happily: "Your little sixth master has come back with a letter, and he got two fat girls this morning, let you pack up and wash the child." ”

"No wonder a magpie came to report the good news this morning, a great thing." Shen's mother smiled heartily, she asked the maid to get two packets of pastries, and said, "You can go for a trip, you can take some wedding cakes back, and you will also be touched by your brother's joy." ”

Mao Xiaoer took it, one child and two babies, he had to dip this joy.

When the person left, Shen's mother smiled, and she sent the maid to each room to inform.

During dinner in the evening, Shen's second sister-in-law asked, "Mother, will you go over tomorrow?" The boat ride is tiring, the six brothers have a small place and no place to stay, and they have to stay in the inn in the past, the inn is noisy and unclean, it is better for you and my father to rest at home, and we will go over on your behalf. ”

She was afraid that her mother-in-law would say something bad in the past, and they would be embarrassed and unhappy.

The others were silent.

Mother Shen thought for a while and said, "I have to go sooner or later, I'll go and see my two twin granddaughters." "If she doesn't go, people she knows will chew on the root of her tongue.

……

Early the next morning, Haizhu packed up her two clothes alone and went out, passing by Han's house, the parrot flew out to say hello: "Haizhu, are you going to sea again?" ”

This is what it learned from the neighbors in the alley, and there is a sentence "Haizhu is back?" "It's for greeting in the evening.

Haizhu stopped, she looked at it and said, "I'll take a boat to find Han Ji, will you go?" ”

"Go, go, go." The parrot was excited, it made her wait, flew into the house and grabbed the cloth pocket containing peanuts and melon seeds, and shouted at the top of her voice: "I'm going to take a boat with Haizhu." ”

Mrs. Hou walked out and asked, "Where are you going by boat?" ”

"Where to go? Go find Han Ji. "Parroting.

This is fresh, Mrs. Hou walked out of the courtyard quickly, and shouted to the person who was about to go out of the alley with a bird: "Haizhu, are you going to Fucheng?" ”

"Shen Sui got two daughters, tomorrow I will wash the three, and I will go over." Haizhu reflexively waved his hand and said, "I took the parrot away, don't think about it." ”

"It's noisy, I want it to do." Houfu said unkindly.

Walking to the street, the stall set up shouted: "Hot buns, big sister, buy one for the child?" ”

"Do you want a bamboo dragonfly? Do you want a turtle carved in wood? ”

As soon as he heard the sound of "turtle", the parrot immediately answered: "I want to ask for a turtle, Haizhu." ”

"What kind of turtle do you buy if you have a turtle at home?" After all, Haizhu still took out ten copper plates to buy a turtle for the bird, and it was not as big as its claws. The wood carving stuffed its claws, and she walked into the jewelry store to buy two silver longevity locks, and happened to meet five mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of the Shen family.

"Haizhu buys silver, I have to buy gold, so as not to compare me." Shen's second sister-in-law deliberately said that she called the female shopkeeper to change two pairs of gold bracelets for her.

The other three concubines also changed, Shen's mother looked at it, and the longevity lock in her hand was changed to a larger one.

The group took the parrot to the pier, and Haizhu found that the merchant ship docked on the pier was hers, and she ran up happily. The person who collected the boat fare recognized her, did not accept the copper plate handed by her, and said with a smile: "How can you give money on your own boat, go to Fucheng?" ”
