In the wing room, it was not as everyone thought, Lu Xinyao was concentrating on composing poetry, and the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and he entered with a smile.
"Official. Liu Shiyan put down her pen and stepped forward, helped him take off his coat and hang it on the side of the bed, and then poured a bowl of hot water and handed it over, Xu was afraid that he would be hot, so she kept blowing into the bowl.
"The officials first drink a bowl of water and rest. β
"Don't drink water, get down to business first. As soon as He Lai entered the door, he began to roar urgently.
"The officials are so anxious. Lu Xinyao snorted, turned around lightly, and dodged his thief.
"What are you doing to avoid me? Good day, beautiful scenery, love is just right. "Helai is really in a hurry.
Lu Xinyao smiled, deliberately avoiding the topic, and said, "How is the official and the concubine written?"
He Lai stretched out: "Bring it to me and see." β
Who knew that Lu Xinyao pouted and said coquettishly: "Don't give it." β
"Bring it?"
"I don't give it. She hid behind her, tilted her head, pouted, and smiled in her eyes, and the little woman's delicate demeanor was immediately apparent.
"If you don't give it again, I'll take off your clothes!"
"Take it off, it's your person anyway, and I'm not afraid to let you see it. Hmph!" she deliberately straightened her chest and raised her head upward, looking so coquettish.
"Really don't give it?" "Where did you come from, somehow itching in my heart, this little girl, when did you learn to seduce people?
"Okay, okay! Just show it to the officials. Lu Xinyao suddenly smiled playfully at him, took his hand and came to the desk, "Official, how do you see the concubine's body?"
Why come over and take a look, the handwriting on the paper is handsome, chic and elegant:
Peach blossom hairpin, peach blossom fan,
peach blossom surface under the peach blossom tree,
Who is clear.
He nodded and couldn't help but praise: "The font is chic and elegant, unrestrained, and has its own school." β
Lu Xinyao pouted and said angrily: "The concubine asked the official how the poem was done, but the official answered the question. Immediately, she begged him delicately to do the next work. Looking at her serious appearance, if she can't answer, I'm afraid I'm going to have nowhere to do it tonight.
How to pout, after all, it is the champion of the three yuan and the first, hold the pen and meditate for a moment, and the next rhyme came into being:
Peach blossom wine, peach blossom curtain,
Peach blossom note in the peach blossom pavilion,
Who shares the proverbs.
After writing, when she turned her head to look, Lu Xinyao clapped her hands and applauded. He Lai stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, pouting his lips and asking for a kiss, saying that he wanted a reward. Shy, she half-pushed and half-sent her lips.
"Lady, my husband is going to eat you......" This girl is too torturous, she has just recovered from a serious illness, and she has not been intimate for more than a year, and she is really panicked. How do you know that Lu Xinyao's face turned red, and she shook her head again and again, no matter how good things she said, she just didn't agree.
"But the lady doesn't like me?"
"The concubine likes it to the bone marrow. β
"In that case, let's do our homework!" he said, making an angry look.
"Officials, don't be angry......" Seeing that he seemed to be really angry, Lu Xinyao pursed her lips and snickered.
He Lai put on a straight face and said: "The little goblin who tortures people, I can't wait for my husband......"
Seeing his anxious appearance, Lu Xinyao couldn't help but smile, revealing all kinds of charm, and said coquettishly: "Shicai's writing hand is a little sore, please ask the official to loosen the clothes for the slave family." β
I'm just damned!
I haven't seen her for more than a year, this girl is too good at seduction! Seeing his wife standing slim in front of him, with a faint smile on her face, and her eyes closed shyly, He Lai's hand suddenly trembled a little.
"Lady!" He Lai was so excited that he picked her up, blew out the candles, put down the curtains, and the bright moonlight shone in, and two figures were faintly visible, a ball of affection......
Finally, the battle in the house ended, Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called hot water and fragrant soup to serve. There was a light mist in the bathtub, Lu Xinyao soaked in the orchid soup, wet her hair, sprinkled her body, and after washing, she changed into a set of clothes, and under the white tulle, the scenery inside was unobstructed. She walked back to her bedroom and got her make. The soft and smooth hair is scattered behind the head, and it is gradually pulled into a bun, the temples are slowly long, the eyebrows are lightly swept, and the lips are lightly tapped.
He Lai on the side looked at his wife and said with a hippie smile: "The lady led people to commit crimes, and the punishment above the court was slightly unfair, and it was remanded for retrial." Before he could finish speaking, he pounced like a hungry wolf.
Lu Xinyao "giggled" and fell into her husband's arms. This time, she put down her reserved shyness, gritted her teeth and insisted, a big battle, but her combat effectiveness was too strong, and finally she collapsed on the bed, without any strength, and asked Xiaohong to come in and clean up the battlefield. Xiaohong was terrified when she heard it outside, and when she saw Lu Xinyao covered in sweat, her eyes were foggy, and she was already in a semi-collapsed state, she couldn't help but be speechless, even if Miss was a martial arts practitioner, Rao was almost scattered, if it was herself, she would have to kill her.
The husband and wife are in love with each other, in addition to not being able to follow the toilet, how can they either read and write or spend time with their wives before the moon, and naturally they will meet in Wushan.
In this way, in the second month, the menstrual affair that had always been reported on time did not come.
She wondered, maybe it would be here in a few days?
Until the third month, there was still no movement in the menstrual affairs, and in the early morning of this day, after breakfast, she was walking with her mother-in-law, and suddenly felt nauseous, squatting next to the tree and vomiting wildly.
Zhang Qin was stunned at first, and then surprised, and quickly asked Lang Zhong to check, most of the people in his heart had a bottom, Lang Zhong looked at it and told her clearly that Mrs. He was happy and had been pregnant for two months.
By the time she was four months old, she had a bulging belly, and by seven or eight months, she could no longer lie down and sleep, and could only sit and rest every night. He felt sorry for his wife, and used all his tenderness to accompany her and repel mosquitoes for her. By nine months, she was unable to walk, her feet were swollen and she was even having difficulty breathing.
"The belly is so big, shouldn't it be twins?"
Zhang Qin said: "Isn't the nutrition too good, a super giant baby?"
"It's too big, how can this be produced?"
"Yan'er is going to suffer during this time, I just hope that everything will be safe then. Zhang Qin has long been worried about this problem.
On this day, Lu Xinyao suddenly felt pain in her abdomen. As soon as he lifted his right leg, a stream of amniotic fluid gushed out. Zhang Qin was a person who came over, and was taken aback, knowing that the amniotic water was broken and about to give birth, she immediately called the famous midwife in Jiangling.
You must know that in the Song Dynasty, when medicine was not developed, women's childbirth was like wandering in the ghost gate, and if they were not careful, women would die of dystocia. Because of the dangers of childbirth, many women are reluctant to have children. The dangerous production process has caused a great psychological shadow on women. In order to avoid childbirth, some women once witnessed "their mother died in childbirth", and did not hesitate to repented of the contract before marriage and resolutely became a nun.
Therefore, the people of Gangneung Mansion gave them ideas, and why not go and worship "Mrs. Chitou"? Even if he came to read a lot of books, he did not know who this "Mrs. Chitou" was.
The midwife informed him that Lady Chitou was a woman who guarded the blood pool of the sixth hall of the Ten Yamas, and that she was responsible for the souls of women who had fallen into the blood pool due to difficult childbirth. If Mrs. Chitou takes her in, the woman can recover from the brink of death. Therefore, a woman expecting to give birth prays to the god Lady Chitou to keep her mother and child safe.
The midwife said: "Good vinegar, white rice, decoction stove, chozi, boiled porridge sand bottle, filter medicine silk, vinegar charcoal basin, small stone, soup bottle, soft and hard charcoal, dry firewood grass, warm water kettle, dried grass, lying chair, soft and thick felt, lanterns, torches, towels, oil candles, hair candles, lamp hearts." β
He was confused, Zhang Qin still knew something, but she still didn't know anything about how women gave birth in ancient times. The midwife told her that the decoction stove, choshi, and filter medicine silk are used urgently for the mother when she has dystocia; good vinegar and small stones are used for disinfection of the delivery room, that is, the vinegar is splashed on the red-hot small stone, and the steam produced will immediately permeate the delivery room and play a sterilizing role; the soup bottle, the towel and the hot water kettle are prepared for bathing the newborn and giving water to the mother; the lanterns, torches, oil candles, and lamp cores are used for the lighting of the delivery room; the dried grass, the sleeping chair, and the soft and thick felt are the objects that the mother should have when sitting and lying down during childbirth, and the white rice, Cooking porridge and sand bottles is used to replenish the strength of the mother when she is hungry.
The midwife thought for a while and said, "In addition, we must also prepare some things for the mother, such as Bao Qi San, Buddha Hand San, Seahorse, Horse Bit, and Birth Charm. β
Why does it sound a little scary?
The midwife explained: "Holding these things in the mother's hand, or keeping them in the delivery room, can have a miraculous effect on overcoming difficult childbirth. β
It's just bizarre. Ignorance! Ignorance! Ridiculous! If the daughter-in-law is handed over to this old woman, how can she rest assured!
Suddenly, the midwife asked, "Will you give birth in the house or in the cemetery?"
"Cemetery?!Can you have a baby in that kind of place?" He Lai was almost scared to death by her words.
I had never heard that this child could still go to the cemetery, and Zhang Qin was obviously angry: "Believe it or not, the old lady punched out your teeth!"
Zhang Qin couldn't bear it, she didn't feel at ease with such a midwife, her mind was full of feudal superstitious thoughts, she was not as good as herself! She unceremoniously gave an order to evict the customer, rolled up her sleeves, and shouted loudly: "Son, look at your mother! I want to hold my grandchildren with my own hands and give birth!"
"Son, take it easy, Yan'er will be fine. Seeing He Lai's anxious turnaround, He was afraid to pat him on the shoulder and comforted.
"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't!" He Lai sighed.
"What do you mean by that?"
"When I go back to modern times, I can live as much as I want. β
"Save it, can you hold it?"
"Are you still my father?
"On the wedding night, you can't take out the 'Luohongpa', Yan'er was gossiped all the time, and she almost couldn't raise her head, and our He family was ridiculed for a while. At the time of the Song Dynasty, there were many rules and regulations that we could not understand. β
He couldn't help but be silent, now his mind was not here, but his eyes and ears were always paying attention to the movement in the house. But why is there no movement in there at all? There shouldn't be any surprises, right? Thinking like this, he became even more anxious in his heart, if it wasn't for Fang Erhai hugging him desperately, he really wanted to rush in and bear the pain with her.
"Lady, I hurt you!" He beat his chest anxiously.
"Can you calm down?" In fact, He was also very nervous.
At this time, Lu Xinyao only felt that the child was falling, but she couldn't get out, not only was the pain uncomfortable, but the pain was getting more and more frequent. She bit her lip tightly, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. I couldn't hear what her mother-in-law was shouting, and at this time, she really felt that death was a relief. When it hurt the most, when she couldn't bear it anymore, she said intermittently, Mother, you can kill me with a knife! I really can't stand it, forget it if I die.
Zhang Qin said: "Don't talk nonsense! If you want to have a mistake, what should you do with the child? What about your husband? It's okay, work hard! Work hard!"
The problem is that every time she exerts force, she feels that the flesh is torn and hurts, especially when the widest part of the baby's head is about to come out, she really feels that the flesh is torn raw!
"The head is out!
"No, I ...... I'm going to die......"
"You can do it! work harder, it'll be done right away!" Zhang Qin's nervous forehead sweated, desperately encouraging her.
Yoo Shi-yeon's lips were already biting and bleeding, and the heart-rending pain made her almost faint. After the widest part of the head came out, the lower part of the head was much easier, and then, Zhang Qin took out the body, that is to say, the child was born.
A loud cry echoed through the room. Hey, it's a boy!
"It's a boy!"
"What a boy!" He Lai jumped to his feet, clenching his fists again, his nervous palms sweating.
"Is there anything else?"
"Is my lady okay?" At this moment, He Lai is most worried about his wife's safety.
Before Zhang Qin could breathe a sigh of relief, another head was trying to come out. Lu Xinyao couldn't bear the pain one after another, and began to scream with all her might.
Hold on, God, you can do well, let my lady go, it's really not easy for me to find her......
He lingered in front of the house, praying silently in his heart.
At the urging and encouragement of her mother-in-law, she exerted all her strength to exert herself several times, then rested for a while, rested for a while, and exerted herself several times, and so on several times......
When he heard his wife shouting his name loudly, He Lai couldn't control himself anymore and rushed in desperately.
"Get out! Get out!" Zhang Qin shouted loudly, what do women do when they give birth to children?
"Lady, lady!" He Lai shouted loudly, and saw his wife sweating profusely, as if she had collapsed.
Hearing her husband's shout, Lu Xinyao opened her eyes weakly and was weak. He Lai stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and shouted loudly: "Lady, you have to hold on! Come on, lady, let's carry it together! Come, follow me, inhaleβforceβ"
Lu Xinyao, who had eased up a little, gathered the only trace of strength, frowned, and opened her mouth, but she couldn't make any sound.
You can see that she is trying hard.
The child still hasn't come out.
She's still struggling......
The second child seemed to be a little quiet, a little shy, not as lively and active as the boy in front of him, hiding in his mother's belly and not looking very easy to figure out. The pain in her heart became more and more intense, her consciousness became weaker and weaker, and she was almost out of strength to bite her lip, but she still did not give up her last effort.
Squirming and pinching, the second child's head began to come out.
But at this time, Lu Xinyao didn't seem to have any strength anymore, her eyes seemed to be open and closed, her consciousness was getting weaker and weaker, and she couldn't feel pain anymore.
"Wake up, don't sleep!"
He Lai's loud shouts didn't seem to help.
In a hurry, he suddenly took out a dagger and put it across his neck, and shouted: "Lady, if you have an accident, I swear, I will never live alone!
This sentence seemed to have an effect, Lu Xinyao opened her eyes slightly, Xu is she heard her husband's shout, and her eyes were full of tears.
"Get through it, and we're a happy family. If you can't stand it, I'll take the child and wait for you on Huangquan Road!
Lu Xinyao listened, closed her eyes slightly, and after a while, a voice came out of her hoarse voice, for the sake of her husband, for the sake of the children, for the sake of the family, she had already stepped into the ghost door with one foot and made the last effort.
The second cry finally sounded!
The moment Zhang Qin took out the child, her stomach deflated, and a stream of blood gushed out, and when she took out the placenta and umbilical cord, another stream of blood gushed out, and then, Zhang Qin pressed her stomach, and a third stream of blood gushed out.
How did he know the meaning, seeing his wife bleeding so much, he was so frightened that his whole heart jumped out of his throat.
"Lady, lady!" Fang Yu didn't have time to look at the child, knelt beside the bed, and kept calling for his wife, who had completely collapsed.
Zhang Qin frowned and said, "Can you go out for a while?" This is the Song Dynasty, not our modern times, it is really inconvenient for you to be here, and you can't help......
He yelled with all his might: "She is my mother, and now is the time when she needs me the most! Who dares to say that I will kill whom!"
Zhang Qin smiled bitterly and shook her head, let him go, maybe this time is the moment when his daughter-in-law needs spiritual comfort the most. So he told him that the eldest was a boy and the second was a girl.
He arranged the baby in his swaddling clothes, and looked at this, and liked it, and looked at that, and rejoiced. He is like admiring two beautiful works of art, and he can't put it down and never get tired of looking at it.
After Lu Xinyao woke up, He Lai couldn't wait to tell her what he thought.
The boy is the eldest and named He Le.
The second child is a girl named He Xin.
When she saw the two little guys, Lu Xinyao's tears fell instantly. Seeing her crying, He Lai was at a loss: "Lady, I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?"
Lu Xinyao shook her head, she couldn't say, why was she crying. The hardships and pains of childbirth, the joy of having a child, and her husband's meticulous care were mixed together, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
No matter how the pace of history moves forward, and no matter how complete and developed fertility science is, it cannot change or alleviate the pain of a woman's pregnancy in October and childbirth.
When the midwife who was driven away heard that the birth was going well, she kindly came over with a bowl of medicine with a peculiar smell. He Lai asked what kind of medicine it was, and the midwife replied: "The boy's urine is warmed with wine and half a lamp, which is a good prescription for postpartum recovery." β
What a fool!
Smelling this strong smell, Zhang Qin threw the bowl out of the window directly.
What's more, such a heavy custom is estimated to be disgusting to death in modern times, and it is even possible that some women will not have children because of this.
The midwife was stunned, although she was a little depressed, but she dared to express half a sentence of dissatisfaction. Out of kindness, I brought another bowl of black medicine, saying that it could cure postpartum blood dizziness and prevent me from feeling depressed.
"What is this?"
"Back to the county king, it's ink. β
"Nonsense!"
The midwife was angry and resentful, but she didn't dare to show half a sentence, Zhang Qin waved her hand and said, "You better go, and then get some strange things out, the king of the county must kill you." I'm here to take care of. β
