Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 634 Difficult to give birth, Shen's scheming (2)
The winter in central Beijing is extremely cold, especially at night. There was a snowfall a few days ago, and the snow accumulated on the roof and surrounding trees has not yet melted. Looking at the past with the help of street lights, it is white and cold. It is very beautiful at night.

Qiu Mingyue was eager to go out, casually put on a goose-yellow jacket embroidered with grass and green Ruyi patterns, and hurried to Qinyuan.The Qinyuan Garden was already overcrowded, the old ladies and gentlemen were all there, and the midwives, doctors, and servant girls were all surrounded in the room.The elder is a man, according to the ancient customs, he is not allowed to enter the delivery room, he can only wait outside the door.When Qiu Mingyue came, she happened to watch him standing outside the house pacing back and forth, with a dignified and anxious expression.

"Father, what's the matter?"

Qiu Mingyue hurried in.

The elder shook his head, "The midwives have been in for a while, but..."

Through the curtain, we could hear the crying of Mrs. Shen, the hurriedly walking of the servant girl, and the screaming of the midwife.

"Ma'am, take a deep breath, yes, take a deep breath."

She opened the curtain and was about to go in, but the old lady who had been sitting next to her stopped her.

"Mingyue, the delivery room, you, an unmarried woman, are not allowed to enter."

"Grandmother, what time is it? How can you still be concerned about these taboos?" Qiu Mingyue doesn't believe this, "I know how to do medicine, so I can help if I go in. The government doctors are all men, so it's not convenient to go in, and I don't know the situation outside, it's nothing. Use it, let me go in."

The old lady stood up and grabbed her with a firm expression.

"No."

Just as Qiu Mingyue was about to say something, the curtain was opened from the inside, and Chun Hong came out with a basin of bloody water in her hand.

The old matriarch held Qiu Mingyue's hand tightly, "The delivery room is bloody, you can't go in. There are midwives and maids inside, nothing will happen."

"grandmother."

Qiu Mingyue frowned, "That's my mother, I have to go in and have a look."

"Mingyue, I know you are worried. Giving birth to this woman is like walking around the palace of the King of Hades. Your mother has already given birth to two children, and this one will be much easier. If you go in, maybe she will be even more nervous. So, just stay here and don't go anywhere."

Qiu Mingyue was about to say something, but suddenly there was the cry of a baby, accompanied by the excited cry of the midwife.

"It's born, it's born, my wife is born."

Qiu Mingyue and the old matriarch paused at the same time, and the hand holding the curtain suddenly felt the same, and she hurried in.There was no time to see how chaotic the scene in the house was, so he walked directly to the bed.

Seeing her coming in, the midwife was stunned for a moment, and just about to show her the baby, Qiu Mingyue had already rushed to the bedside, holding Shen's hand.

"Mom, how are you doing?"

Shen shi had just given birth, her face was a little pale, but her brows and eyes were tired but she let out a sigh of relief.She looked at the old matriarch who then walked in to take the baby from the midwife.

"Mom, is it a boy or a girl?"

The old matriarch hugged the child, her brows and eyes were all smiles, and she walked in front of Shen.

"It's a boy, exactly the same as Qing'er when he was a child."

The Eldest Master also came in following the old matriarch. After he came in, he glanced at the child in the arms of the old matriarch, and then walked to the bed. Seeing that Mrs. Shen was a little weak, but at least there was nothing serious, he also sent him away. With a sigh of relief, when I heard the old lady's words, I was startled.

"like me?"

"Yes, like you."

The old lady gave him the baby in her arms, "Mingyue and Mingrui both look like Rou'er, but this child looks like you."

The old man had never held a child before, and the old lady gave him the child out of the blue. He jumped up and carefully protected the baby in his arms. He felt that the child in his arms was too small and weak, and would be crushed with even a little force. up.He looked at the old lady in a daze, "Mother, why is he so light?"

The old lady chuckled, "You were lighter than him when you were born."

"is it?"

The elder held the baby tightly, feeling complicated in his heart.Although he has many children, the feeling of being a father has never been so strong.Including when Qiu Mingyue was born, he was ecstatic, but his only regret was that he didn't witness her birth with his own eyes.Now that he has a son in his middle age, he is naturally overjoyed.

Qiu Mingyue couldn't help being a little funny watching him want to hug the baby tightly, as if afraid of hurting him with too much force.

"Father, you really have never held a baby before. You can't hold a baby like this, and you will be out of breath."

"what?"

When the old man heard this, he became anxious.Wanting to let go but afraid of throwing the child in his hand to the ground, he was at a loss what to do.

"Then... what should we do then?"

Qiu Mingyue stood up, took the child carefully, hugged her in her arms, looked at his eyebrows seriously, and said with a smile, "You really look like Dad."

"Really, show me?"

Shen was supported by Hongye, and a cushion was placed behind her.

Qiu Mingyue gave her the child, "Mother, look."

Shen Shi carefully took over the child she had given birth to through untold hardships, looking at his wrinkled face, the circles of her eyes were slightly red.

"Mom, why are you crying? This is a happy event, don't cry, you just gave birth, don't cry and break your body."

Shen said: "I am weeping with joy."

Qiu Mingyue sat beside her and smiled.The elder came over and looked at her tenderly and gratefully.

"Rou'er, thank you."

Shen Shi looked at him with tears in her eyes but a smile on her face.Although weak, she still couldn't hide her beauty.

The old lady also came over, "Okay, Rou'er is tired, take a good rest. Qing'er, Mingyue, let's all go out, don't disturb her rest."

"Ah."

Qiu Mingyue took the child and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Dad, you haven't named your brother yet."

The elder was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

"Really, I almost forgot."

The old lady laughed and scolded: "It's not the first time to be a father. See how happy you are."

The elder took the baby from Qiu Mingyue's arms, and said softly, "This time is different."

The old lady stopped talking.Shen Shi looked at him with tender eyebrows and tears in her eyes, and a smile appeared on Qiu Mingyue's lips.Now the eldest lady is grounded, and the other concubines of the elder master are also dead, now there is only Shen Shi left by his side.Since Shen's pregnancy, the Elder Master never mentioned to take a concubine, and Shen didn't prepare for him either.She now understands that, just like what her daughter said, women live in this era, which is extremely miserable. If they don't treat themselves better, they will be like that in this life.

The husband is her own, and she has the right to maintain her own marital happiness.What's more, she is not alone, she has a son and a daughter, and she has the responsibility and obligation to protect her children from harm.Naturally, she would not do such a thing as taking a concubine for her husband.
