It was not until the early morning of the next day that Ping Niang gave birth to the child successfully.
Wenpo picked up the child, took a look at it, and said to the exhausted Pingniang: "Congratulations, auntie, you are a young master."
Ping Niang's pale face finally showed a smile, and then she closed her eyes tiredly.
Mrs. Wen cleaned the baby, wrapped it in a quilt, took it out with a smile on her face and said to Shen Zhonglei: "Congratulations to Mr. Shen, congratulations to Mr. Shen, you are a young master."
Shen Zhonglei was so excited when he heard this, he reached out and hugged the child, looking at the red and wrinkled little face, he couldn't get enough of it.
Shen Tianshu said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard."
Shen Zhonglei then came back to his senses and said: "Yes, yes, you have worked hard, and you will be rewarded for everything!"
Wenpo smiled even more happily when she heard this.
Shen Zhonglei hugged the child and was reluctant to let go, but he couldn't help but think of the scene when Shen Yuanlin was just born.
How happy he was at the time, but how badly he was hurt later.
Thinking of the effort he had put into Shen Yuanlin, Shen Zhonglei felt an indescribable feeling.
Now that I am getting older, my daughter is about to get married, but I have just hugged my own son for the first time. Thinking about it, I can't help but shed a handful of bitter tears for myself.
Shen Yunhui was anxious to go in and see Ping Niang, but was stopped by Shen Tianshu.
The baby has just been given birth and the placenta should not have come out yet. Shen Yunhui is an unmarried girl, so it is not appropriate to go in.
"Don't worry, after they clean up my aunt, you can watch her as you please when they return to the room."
Although Old Mrs. Shen was sent back the night before, she didn't fall asleep. She just kept worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist hall and praying to Bodhisattva to bless the Shen family and give her a son.
As soon as the baby over there was born, Shen Tianshu immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Old Mrs. Shen.
"The eldest lady was afraid that the old lady would be anxious, so she asked me to come and report the news quickly. However, the eldest lady also specifically told her that if the old lady is still asleep, she should not disturb her until she gets up in the morning."
"The old lady can't sleep. She stayed in the Buddhist hall all night. I'm going to deliver the good news to the old lady!" Chunlan happily came to the door of the Buddhist hall and gently knocked on the door and said, "Old lady, Aunt Ping A little boy was born!"
Mrs. Shen was overjoyed when she heard this, and tears fell down her cheeks.
She knelt in front of the Buddhist niche with her hands clasped together and murmured: "Thank you Bodhisattva for blessing me. I will worship Buddha devoutly and donate more incense for the rest of my life."
After thanking the Buddha, she hurriedly got up, got acquainted with him casually, and then hurried to see her grandson.
When she came over, Ping Niang had already packed up and was carried back to her room to rest.
The child had already had enough milk and was sleeping soundly in the nurse's arms.
"Okay, that's great!" Mrs. Shen looked at the child and was at a loss for words. She couldn't say anything else except "good."
Old Mrs. Shen's eyes were glued to the child. After a long while, she reluctantly sat down and said, "Ms. Ping has done a good job in giving birth to a child this time. She should be rewarded!"
Zhang Muqiu came back from diagnosing Ping Niang's pulse at this time and said: "Ping Niang's body is just a little weak, it's nothing serious. It's just a good period of confinement and a good life."
Mrs. Shen greeted her and said, "Doctor Zhang, how about you come and take a look at the child? Why do I think the child looks a bit small?"
Zhang Muqiu had already received instructions from Shen Tianshu, so he stepped forward to check and said, "It is true that he is a little thinner, but it is not a serious problem. He just needs to be nursed back to health to avoid falling into the root of the frailty."
When Shen Zhonglei heard this, he said anxiously: "Ping Niang was constantly taking various supplements during pregnancy, how come the child is still weak after birth?"
You know, if you want to get ahead in an official career in Daqi, you will have to study and take exams very hard from childhood to adulthood, and it will be difficult to survive if you are not in good health.
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she suddenly remembered what Shen Tianshu said last night, and immediately said: "Who is that in the kitchen? Where is he now? How dare you deduct Ping Niang's supplements and replace the bird's nest with white fungus. How audacious!
"If it weren't for her, how could my grandson be born smaller than other children!
"Tian Shu, who is the person you talked about yesterday and where is he now?"
"Who?" Shen Zhonglei heard about this for the first time, and he immediately became anxious, "Who is so brave!"
Both of their eyes were focused on Shen Tianshu.
"Grandma, father, after I found out about this yesterday, I detained him first." Shen Tianshu said, hesitating to speak and looked at Shen Zhonglei.
Old Mrs. Shen frowned upon seeing this, obviously thinking wrongly, and asked her son: "Although there is no one around you now, but the kitchen..."
In front of his daughter, Shen Zhonglei blushed instantly and said roughly: "Mom, what are you talking about? Is my son like that?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of Hanqiao and felt a little embarrassed.
"I really don't know." Shen Zhonglei said helplessly, "Shu'er, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly. There is no need to be secretive in front of the old lady."
"The person in the kitchen who deducted supplements from my aunt is Mrs. Huang. She is Master Huang's sister by your side."
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhonglei immediately understood what she had just hesitated to say.
Master Huang was born in Shaoxing. When Shen Zhonglei passed the exam, he was already quite famous for his talents.
Back then, Mrs. Shen was the one who went to her parents' house to beg for help and spent a lot of money to get her.
Following Shen Zhonglei these years, he has been working hard and doing a good job.
Shen Zhonglei respected him very much. In order to help him solve the problems at home, he let Mrs. Huang work in the house and was assigned to the rich kitchen.
Presumably this is also the reason why Ping Niang did not dare to say anything after her supplements were withheld.
Shen Zhonglei's face was a little ugly, but he asked Shen Tianshu to say the words, and now that he said them in public, there was no way he could take them back.
Mrs. Shen said solemnly: "Public is public, private is private. I recognize Mr. Huang's contribution, but our family also gives him adequate treatment.
"Ping Niang is still pregnant with the child, and she dares to do this. If she lets it go this time, won't she be bullying you and me in the future?"
Shen Zhonglei had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely handle this matter."
But Mrs. Shen thought for a moment, then shook her head and said: "Forget it, it's not convenient for you to come forward directly in this matter, so let me do it!"
"My son has caused trouble to his mother again. It's really unfilial for her to still worry about her son." Shen Zhonglei said shamefully, but he felt relieved in his heart.
"It's women who should take care of the affairs of the back house." Old Mrs. Shen waved her hand and said, "Besides, I invited Mr. Huang back for you in the first place. It's easier to talk to me to handle it."
