Chapter 128
With the last experience, Ye Jiao seems much calmer.
Even if the child came faster than last time, he was a little caught off guard, but Ye Jiao was not so surprised when Li Langzhong's words hit the bottom, and she was able to comfort Dong: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter."
But Dong is nervous, even if he knows that he thinks too much, but the last time Dong gave birth to a tiger son was a little more difficult, and he suffered a lot in the middle, and now he recalled the pain at that time.
When Liu came in, what he saw was that his second daughter-in-law had a ruddy face, while Dong, who helped her walk, was snow-white and had no color at all.
When look at it so roughly, can't tell who is the one who wants to be born for a while.
Liu was a little helpless. Last time he was his own son, and this time he was the wife of the Dong family. Both of them were much more nervous than Ye Jiao.
Ye Jiao is holding Dong Shi to walk slowly, and when Liu Shi comes in, she looks forward to looking at: "Mother, I am hungry."
Liu expected this, and just let the kitchenette prepare Chicken Noodle Soup and acacia cakes. As soon as Ye Jiao shouted hungry, she hurriedly asked someone to bring it in.
The taste of Chicken Noodle Soup is as good as ever, and the albizzia cake looks a little hard because it has been slightly baked.
Ye Jiao took two bites, and then looked at the acacia cake in her hand and said nothing.
Liu thought she didn't want to eat, but was about to reach for it when she saw Ye Jiao eat the sweet stuffing inside first, then broke the outside noodles a little bit and soaked them in Chicken Noodle Soup's soup, and then picked them up with chopsticks and put them into her mouth when they were soft.
She laughed as she ate and looked like she was having a good time.
Before Liu had time to lament that his daughter-in-law was easy to serve, he saw that the stable woman had already come in.
At this time, Ye Jiao also felt that the labor pains were tighter than just now, so she stood up clutching her stomach and sat obliquely by the bedside.
Before Xu Bao was born, Liu was with her, but this time Liu did not stay in the inner room, but sat in the outer room with Buddha beads, reading carefully with his eyes closed slightly, praying for daughter-in-law.
Others say that twins are auspicious, and if anyone can have twins, even the county government will order a reward.
But Liu knows the danger, especially the twins are often born earlier than ordinary children, how to give birth smoothly, raise life, are not easy.
It is obvious that Liu thinks it is more important to recite scriptures outside than to help inside.
The bedroom was busy inside and outside, and the wing across half the courtyard looked much calmer.
Xubao was lying on the window, looking straight out.
Giving birth is not only an urgent matter, but also easy to scare people. Xubao is still young, not to mention seeing blood, he is afraid of smelling blood, so when Ye Jiao just started, Mrs. Mo was ready to take the young master out for a walk.
Unluckily, Xu Bao, who used to especially like to take a stroll in the yard, was very stubborn to stay, crying and making noise, clinging to the door frame and holding on to the door frame.
Mrs. Mo dared not pull hard, for fear of hurting him, so she had no choice but to take him to the wing room, close the doors and windows, and block out the sound outside, so that when the second wife gave birth later, the young master was frightened by the painful cry of the second wife.
But when she closed the door, Xu Bao stood carefully on the soft couch, poked the paper on the window and looked out with his eyes.
Mrs. Mo did not expect that the young master still had this kind of ability. in addition, Xu Baochang was fleshy and his head was bigger than that of an ordinary child. Such a block directly blocked the hole, but Mrs. Mo did not find it.
Xubao looked on his stomach for a while and saw nothing but a bunch of people coming and going.
He was also standing tired, so he gasped and sat down on the couch. He looked up at Mrs. Mo and asked, "where is my mother?"
Mrs. Mo was holding a bowl of Egg Custard to give him, so she smiled and coaxed him: "of course, the second young lady is on Rest at the moment. The young master doesn't have to worry. Come and have some Egg Custard."
Xubao twisted his butt to sit up, walked over, then sat down again, looked at Mrs. Mo with his head held high, opened his mouth and waited, obediently ate half a bowl of Egg Custard, and shook his head not to eat when he felt full.
While there was a lot of noise outside, Xubao did not continue to watch.
When Mrs. Mo went to put the bowl, he asked softly, "I miss my mother."
Mrs. Mo had forgotten what she had just said to Xubao. In her opinion, the young master was still young and he didn't remember anything, so he casually replied, "the second young lady has gone to the garden. Why don't we go and have a look?"
Piansheng Xubao has such a good memory that Mo's wife forgets things, but he remembers them clearly.
Looking at her with a fleshy little face, Xu Bao's voice was soft and waxy: "Daddy said," Daddy said, "Don't deceive yourself on the inside and don't deceive others on the outside."
As soon as this remark came out, Mrs. Mo froze.
It was not only because she could not understand the sentence, but also because Mrs. Mo did not expect that the young master could write down such a stylish sentence at such an old age.
He usually speaks vaguely.
Xubao looked at Mo with clear eyes and said, "Daddy won't let Xubao lie. If you lie to me, I'll tell Dad."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Mo immediately went back to the soft couch.
Even though ordinary people don't take the child's words seriously, Mrs. Mo knows that her second young master has a gentle and cold temper at home and abroad, and as long as it is said by the young master, he will believe it whether it is true or not.
If she is really rejected by the second young master, I am afraid her days in Qi's family will come to an end.
However, Mrs. Mo also wrote down that in the future, it would be best not to see the young master fooling around when he was young. Now she pondered and replied, "in fact, the second daughter-in-law is giving birth."
Xubao blinked and suddenly laughed: "Sheng Xubao!"
Although Mrs. Mo didn't know where this came from, she looked at Xubao and smiled, and she nodded.
Xubao was happy to run back to the window and looked out of the hole he had just poked. He was particularly excited to see it.
However, because of the distance, Xubao could not hear the movement over there.
On the other hand, Liu, who was sitting in the outer room, could not sit still when he heard the shouts of light or heavy inside. He stood up, grabbed Mrs. Liu's hand and asked, "didn't you just ask someone to find Jiro? where is he?" "
Mrs. Liu said hurriedly, "Ma'am, don't worry. This time the second daughter-in-law started in a bit of a hurry, and it was shorter than when she prepared it last time. It was only half an hour from just now to now." The second young master is still in town. I'm afraid he won't be back so soon. His ladyship will just sit down and wait. "
As soon as Liu sat down, he heard Ye Jiao's voice again. Where can he sit still? Hurriedly pinching the Buddha beads, didn't pay attention to chanting the sutra, only talking about keeping wife safe.
Qi Yun didn't know what was going on at home at the moment. As soon as he got out of the Yamen of the state capital, after getting into the carriage, he heard Tiezi say, "second young master, are you coming back now?"
Qi Yun asked, "what time is it?"
"it's not a moment."
Calculating the time in mind, Qi Yun said, "first go to the academy to visit the teacher, and then go to pick up Saburo."
Qi Erlang felt that the left and right teachers themselves must be invited, and it would be better to see them with their own eyes before they were invited. Instead of waiting for another trip, it would be better to get things done now, and it would be better to rush here at the risk of missing the birth of Niang Niang in the future.
Fortunately, the academy is not far from Fu Ya, and it won't be long before it arrives.
The teacher, surnamed Feng, who was introduced by Zheng, was a scholar. He was quite talented, but his official career was not smooth. After he was admitted to the scholar, he was unable to go any further.
Fortunately, Mr. Feng is broad-minded, very open-minded, and his family is well-off. If he fails to pass the examination, he will not take the exam. If he finds a college to teach and educate people, he can be regarded as making a living.
When Qi Yun found him, Feng Xiucai was teaching the children to read "Thousand characters." Qi Yun stood outside the door and listened for a while. He only thought that Feng Xiucai's language was humorous and funny, and he loved to talk and laugh, and there was some generosity between his words. nodded to this Qi Yun in heart.
After all, he doesn't want to find someone to go back and teach his son to be the champion directly, but to enlighten Xubao first.
In other words, knowledge is secondary, how to learn to behave is important.
This Feng Xiucai is good-tempered and patient. think he is easy to get along with. After all, his own Xubao can learn something from him.
I was optimistic in my heart, and Qi Yun also showed twelve points of respect during the conversation when we met.
Feng Xiucai's family was well-off, so naturally he would not just promise for the few taels of silver. Fortunately, Qi Yun respected him, and Qi Yun said that Xubao was an unforgettable person, which made Feng Xiucai very curious, so he promised.
The two men did not sign any paperwork, but verbally agreed that someone would pick him up every five days to Qijia for the first half of the day to teach Xubao, and discussed the reward, and the matter was settled.
After an incident, Qi Yun urged Tiezi to pick up Qi Ming quickly for a very good reason: "Saburo has been in the city alone for months, and I haven't seen him yet. I think it's time to pacify him as soon as I've just finished the exam."
Of course, Tiezi would not delay Qi Yun's fraternal love, so he immediately climbed into the carriage, shook the reins, and the carriage moved forward slowly.
On the way there, Qi Yun saw that there was a strong aroma in a pastry shop, so he stopped the carriage and said to Tiezi, "go and buy some." My wife has been waiting at home for such a long time, we can't let her wait in vain, it's good to buy some refreshments.
Tiezi couldn't help asking, "second Young Master, didn't you just say that you were afraid that the third Young Master was in a hurry?"
Qi Xize calmly looked at him: "what is not as important as Niang Niang, what's wrong with him and so on?"
Tiezi: what the second young master said is very reasonable.
And when they drove past with five packets of freshly baked snacks, they happened to see the students streaming out around the door.
They were in a good time, just in time to see them go out after the exam.
However, due to a little pinching, Qi's carriage was blocked at the outermost part of the crowd.
Even though there are people from poor backgrounds, most of the families who are able to send people to take the local examination are well-off.
Even if we can't say that all of them are well-off tenants, donkey carts can at least afford to be hired.
The Qi family's carriage was tall and big, and it was blocked by a variety of donkey carts and ox carts in front of them. They could not squeeze in at all, and Tiezi could not see the people in front of them even if he stood on the cart.
Qi Yun pushed Che Yu's door open, supported Tiezi's man's car, and said faintly, "Let's go and wait in front."
"Yes."
Qi Yun turned around and told the rickshaw driver, "you must keep an eye on the cakes in the car, close the door, and don't let the refreshments get cold."
Tiezi listened and his eyebrows jumped slightly. He really didn't know whether he was distressed by the rickshaw driver or the third young master.
Now Qi Yun is no longer the penniless Qi family disease Yangzi, but the resounding "little god of wealth".
The title was created by the Song Dynasty, but no one took it seriously at the beginning, but now, looking at the Qijia shop all over quietly, no one will refute Song's words.
There are many people who know Qi Yun. He walked all the way, and the greetings from both sides followed him all the way.
Even for those who did not know what Qi Yun looked like, when they heard that this was Qi Jia er Shao, they had to tiptoe to look forward, ready to see what the little god of wealth looked like.
When the master and servant squeezed to the front row, Qi Yun still had a light look on his face and did not feel uncomfortable about being noticed. Obviously, after more than 20 years of illness and suffering, he was used to being treated as a ghost. Now Qi er Shao has been tempered into steel and carved calmness into his bones.
Tiezi blushed a little, but he did not speak, but secretly envied his young master in his heart, thinking that he must learn more in the future and should not embarrass the second young master.
Just then, Tiezi saw Qi Ming walking out the door.
When it comes to the local examination, there is a big gap in the number of people who take the exam.
There are drooping old people with gray hair and young and astringent children, but there are more men with beards and wrinkles.
Qi Ming is much more conspicuous than them.
The first one to meet was Liusi, who was squatting not far outside the door. The teenager rushed to Qi Ming, helped Qi Ming take the basket containing the four treasures of the study, and then looked eagerly at Qi Ming: "third, third young master, are you tired?"
Although Qi Ming is about the same age as Liusi, it is about because Liusi's mouth is not sharp enough and has a soft temper. Qi Ming always treats him like a younger brother. Even though he is tired and tired, Qi Ming smiles and says, "No, don't worry."
Six thoughts nodded again and again, and then prepared to hire a carriage to go home with Qi Ming.
Just then, Tiezi jumped: "third Young Master, Liu Si, here!"
Qi Ming looked over and saw Qi Yun standing there with an indifferent face.
This is the first time that Qi Zhi has come to pick himself up, even if it is only a trivial matter, but it is inexplicably touched by Qi Ming.
He hurriedly dragged Liusi towards the two men, and when he came to his eyes, Qi Ming's first sentence was: "second Brother, I write very well, and I will not embarrass you!"
As soon as these words came out, many students on both sides who had just finished the examination looked sideways at him, and when they saw Qi Ming's slightly childish face, they took some disdain in their eyes.
The things in mind are roughly the same, the questions of this scientific examination are not easy, and there have been two things in the examination room, it is not easy to finish the answer.
At the beginning of the rural examination, candidates will be locked up inside, they can't get out even if they die, and they have to take care of their own life. If they don't pay attention to it, they will fall short of success.
In the past few days, once an examinee accidentally burned the examination paper. As a result, he suddenly went crazy under the blow, wreaking havoc in the examination room and disturbing the minds of many people. On another occasion, a candidate suddenly fell to the ground and twitched, who was scared when he was dragged out.
If these two people are particularly unlucky, then others who are in the same scene with them have also experienced the disaster.
The way of the imperial examination was full of twists and turns, not to mention the fact that there were two accidents in a row.
Even many old people who have experienced in the examination room dare not say that they are sure. Who would believe what such a half-year-old child said?
I am afraid that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and those who do not know are fearless.
But Qi Yun knows that his own Saburo is not a person who likes to talk big and empty words. In this way, he thought he played well, and he enlightened him, and it was normal to feel more excited when he saw it.
However, it is not good to be too complacent, not for fear of envy or criticism, but because sometimes the examiner will rank according to a person's moral cultivation.
In the former dynasty, some poets failed repeatedly because of extravagance, and some in this dynasty also lost their reputation because of the corruption of word-of-mouth.
Although Qi Yun feels that Qi Ming is not old enough to suffer from personal morality, there is no harm in being cautious.
He gently touched Qi Ming's hair and whispered to him, "OK, when I go back, I'll give you a snack." Then he took him to the back of the crowd. "go back earlier. My mother was thinking about you when I came out. I went back early to make her feel at ease."
Qi Ming nodded immediately and stayed obediently for six thoughts to keep up with Qi Yun.
But as soon as saw the carriage, saw a boy standing next to the coachman.
The young man looked a little new. Although the two young masters of the Qi family were masters, the Qi family was no longer just an ordinary family like at that time, but they had a special status. The number of young men employed to protect the house was also several times, and they could not recognize all of them.
But the young man was wearing the clothes of the Qi family, and when he saw them, he met them with a smile on his face.
First of all, he quickly saluted, and before he could straighten up, the boy said, "second young master, I have found you, but hurry back. The lady is so worried that she let all the boys in the house come out to find someone so that you can go back early."
After all, Qi Ming didn't go home for months, and his mind was full of reciting exams and reciting exams, and he was a little at a loss about what had happened.
Qi Yun, on the other hand, had a thump in his heart, grabbed the boy's arm and asked, "what's the matter, but something happened to Jiao Niang?"
The boy felt a pain in his arm and thought that the second young master was not well, and that he was also sick and weak. Who knew his strength was quite strong, but he said hurriedly, "No, it's not a bad thing, it's the second young lady who started it!"
On hearing this, Qi Yun immediately let go of the boy, got into the carriage and closed the door of the car, and shouted, "come on, go home!"
The voice was so urgent and angry that it was not as smooth as it had just been.
Qi Ming climbed into the carriage very wisely and motioned Liusi to sit next to Tiezi with his eyes. Only then did he get into the car without mentioning the thing that had almost been left behind by his second brother. "Don't worry, second brother," Qi Ming said cleverly. The second sister-in-law is lucky and has a mother, so it will be all right. "
Qi Yun didn't speak. don't know if he listened to what Qi Ming said. He just frowned impatiently and said nothing.
Qi Ming then quieted down and sat there, glancing at the five packets of refreshments from time to time.
As a matter of fact, as soon as he handed in his answer paper this morning, he lost the mood to eat and has been hungry until now.
I didn't feel hungry when was nervous, but now feel stomach growling when relax a little faster.
However, this snack is hot and fragrant, smelling delicious, so that his glutton is hooked up.
Of course, Qi Ming is also worried about Ye Jiao, but worry and hunger do not conflict.
He looked at Qi Yun and then at the dim sum, thinking to himself that his second brother had just said that he would give me a pack if he went back, so it wouldn't matter if I ate it now.
So Qi Ming stretched out his finger carefully and wanted to hook up a snack bag.
But without waiting for him to touch it, he heard Qi Jing just like a statue speak faintly: "A piece of dim sum, three hundred big characters."
Qi Ming:.
When the carriage arrived at Qi's house, as soon as he stopped, Qi Yun jumped out of the carriage without help, lifted his robe and strode forward!
Qi Ming and Liu Si didn't have time to keep up, but Tiezi was startled and hurriedly chased after him.
He has been following Qi Yun, most aware of the body of his young master, even though he is much better than he was at first, he is still not so able to withstand great sorrow and joy, not to mention that he is still dabbling in a wild run, but he is afraid that he will fall to the ground before he gets to the place!
The second daughter-in-law can't help anyone to give birth, and it's no use to be in a hurry. Don't look back. The second daughter-in-law is all right. At least it's bad for her own young master to fall out.
It was just the truth that Tiezi could understand, but Qi Yun could not think of it at all.
Now he just wants to hurry to Jiao Niang's side, no matter what he can do, he is always watching and rest assured.
In this breath, Qi Yun ran all the way back to the courtyard, and as soon as he entered, he heard Ye Jiao's muffled hum.
When an ordinary woman gives birth to a child, she always cries out in pain, but the little ginseng doesn't feel so much pain, it's just awkward, not to mention it's not good to shout too loudly, so it's not good for her to spend energy, so she only snorts once in a while, and it's gone.
It was only this soft sound, but it was like a heavy hammer, which made Qi Yun's eyes black.
His body shook slightly, and the iron son who came after him hurriedly held him, with an anxious voice: "second young master, you were afraid you were running hard just now. Why don't we go and have a rest?"
Women who give birth often don't come out at 01:30. Tiezi dare not let Qi Yun stand in the yard for a long time.
But Qi Yun shook his head and refused. He clenched his teeth and said to Tiezi, "No, help me in. Come on."
Tiezi hesitated for a moment, but he really didn't know whether he should be obedient or not.
Originally, the second young lady was busy enough. If the second young master went in, in case something happened, the second young woman had a baby inside, and there was the second young master outside. Who was to take care of at that time?
But Qi Ming did not dare to persuade, and the second young master would not listen.
Just when Tiezi hesitated, suddenly, a loud cry of the baby got into their ears.
They all looked at the bedroom door and heard Dong's joyful voice coming out of it: "Yes, it's a young master!"
On hearing this, Qi Yun seemed to relax all his strength, sweating on his head, clutching the iron arm tightly and exhaling a long breath.
I do not know whether I am glad that the baby has been born smoothly, or whether I am glad to finally catch up with the critical time of Niao Niang.
That run just now also made Qi Yun really feel dizzy. After all, this body could not be as comfortable as an ordinary person. It was not easy to rely on one breath to get here just now. Now all the dust has settled, and he is relieved and satisfied. Listening to Dong's tone, he knew that Jiao Niang was all right, and he could let himself pass out.
But just then, another baby crying opened Qi Yun's eyes unconsciously.
This sound is much louder than that just now, and even louder than that of Xubao at the beginning.
Then I heard Dong's voice ring again. "Congratulations to the second wife, congratulations to your wife, and a beautiful girl!" Congratulations to the boss on having both children! "
