After seeing Feng Yuran's excitement, Ye Zhenzhen's life returned to calm.
Cui Weizhen arrived in Yangzhou without stopping and started planning to build an academy immediately. After receiving his letters from home, Ye Zhenzhen also began to send him things, including but not limited to food, letters from home and portraits of Wangzai. As long as she thought of anything
Cui Weizhen reciprocated the favor and began to send her some miscellaneous things, such as Taihu stones, a branch of early plum or a picture of Jiangnan, etc.
Ye Zhenzhen specially uses a box to store things sent by Cui Weizhen. When she has free time every day, she puts them out to paint. When she next mails a letter, she packs it up and sends it to him. In this way, between you and me, there is a kind of romance like a swan goose conveying love.
taste.
Ye Zhenzhen is very busy after her confinement. Guose Club has a backlog of many things that she needs to make decisions on. She also has to take care of Wangzi on a daily basis. She is extremely busy. Fortunately, Aunt Cui and Peng Peng are there to help.
There is no need for her to worry, otherwise she will be overwhelmed.
Even if she is extremely busy, she often takes time to visit Chu Ningyan. She is now eight months pregnant, and her belly is even more terrible. She could stand up and walk a few steps before, but now it is difficult to even sit. It is really frustrating.
Worry.
On this day, Aunt Cui took Wangzi and Ye Zhenzhen took the time to visit Chu Ningyan. As soon as they entered the house, they found that the servants of Zhou's house were very flustered. After asking, they found out that Chu Ningyan had started to activate in the morning and it was almost noon now.
Yes, I heard that even the palace roads are not open.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't think much and hurriedly went to Chu Ningyan's small hospital. Zhou Xunting was anxiously running around outside the delivery room. When he saw Ye Zhenzhen, he was like seeing a savior. He said repeatedly: "Mrs. sister-in-law, hurry in and take a look."
Look at Yan'er, she just fainted and now she's almost out of strength."
He thought this way, Yan'er had a good relationship with Madam-in-law, and if Madam-in-law could stay with her, she could also give her some spiritual encouragement. Maybe she would gain strength after seeing a friend who successfully gave birth to a child.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't bother to chat with him and hurriedly walked into the delivery room. Mrs. Zhou was accompanying Chu Ningyan inside and was holding her hand to encourage her: "Yan'er, don't be afraid, just work harder."
, it will be easy as soon as the palace road is opened."
"No, I don't have the energy anymore. It's so difficult to give birth."
Chu Ningyan cried hoarsely, her bright face had been replaced by weakness and paleness. Ye Zhenzhen felt distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly walked over and said: "Ningyan, I'm here. Look, I gave birth to Wangzi."
Yes, you can definitely do it too."
Only then did Chu Ningyan see Ye Zhenzhen, her tears immediately filled her eyes, and she said aggrievedly: "Mother Zhenzhen, you lied to me, giving birth to a child is not easy at all."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
Ye Zhenzhen admitted her mistake unambiguously and turned around to ask Nanny Li and Nanny Qian, "What are the number, duration and intervals of the contractions? Why can't the birth canal open? Are there any other options, ladies?"
The two nuns answered one by one, and finally whispered: "Mrs. Zhou's situation is no better than Mrs. Cui's. Her fetal position is not very correct, and she is pregnant with twins. It is very possible..."
The last two words were not spoken, but both Ye Zhenzhen and Mrs. Zhou heard them clearly, their faces changed slightly and they felt bad.
Chu Ningyan was very weak and did not hear the words of the two nuns at all. Instead, she looked at Ye Zhenzhen very trustingly: "Mother Zhenzhen, what did the nuns say? When can I give birth to the child?
I heard the old man say that seven will live and eight will not live, I'm afraid..."
"Nonsense!"
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but lost her temper and shouted: "Who made this rumor? The longer the child stays in the mother's womb, the better it will develop. August is naturally better than July. Do you believe those baseless words?"
?”
Although Chu Ningyan was scolded, she seemed to feel at ease. She couldn't help showing a weak smile on her face and said: "It turns out to be a lie. I knew you know the best, Ms. Zhen."
Mrs. Zhou saw that she had coaxed people away with just a few words, and she felt extremely grateful. She quickly said, "Are you relieved now? Let's eat something first and gather enough strength to start again."
Chu Ningyan nodded obediently and ate a bowl of ginseng porridge from Mrs. Zhou's hand. She was obviously energetic. Ye Zhenzhen and Mrs. Zhou encouraged her together, and the two nuns also tried their best to massage the fetal position for her.
, and this continued until the afternoon, when Chu Ningyan's tightly sealed palace finally started to move.
"Young lady! Work harder, you can already see the child's head!"
Chu Ningyan's spirit was greatly boosted, she gritted her teeth and exerted all her energy, and along with a surprise cheer from Nanny Li, her first child was finally born.
"Congratulations, Madam. Young Madam, you are a rich lady."
Aunt Li cut off the child's umbilical cord and dug out the dirt in the mouth and nose, and asked other nuns in the room to take care of the child. She and Aunt Qian continued to push Chu Ningyan: "Young madam, please work harder.
There’s another one!”
Chu Ningyan had no strength left, but she was still inspired and gave birth to the remaining child in her belly with all her strength.
"Congratulations! It's a young master!"
Mrs. Zhou suddenly smiled and took the little grandson in Grandma Qian's arms. She loved her so much that she kept saying to Chu Ningyan: "Yan'er, you gave birth to twins! This is a great blessing!"
Chu Ningyan was too tired to speak, but Ye Zhenzhen could understand the meaning in her eyes. She picked up another child from her nanny and handed it to her, saying, "Look, sister is here."
Mrs. Zhou felt embarrassed for a moment and quickly brought her grandson over to show her: "Yan'er, look at it. These two children seem to be carved from the same mold. They look very much like Xunting."
Zhou Xunting heard the child's cry outside. At this moment, he ran in regardless of the maid's mother-in-law's obstruction. He first glanced at the twins, and then all his eyes fell on Chu Ningyan: "Yan'er, thank you for your hard work.
You are."
Chu Ningyan smiled and said in an angry voice: "This is my child too."
So there is no such thing as hard work or not. Mothers are willing to give birth to their children. The moment they see the child, all the hard work and pain are gone, and only the feeling of being connected by blood is left.
At this moment, she finally understood what Zhen Niang had told her, that giving birth really didn't hurt at all.
Chu Ningyan gave birth to two children, which consumed more vitality than Ye Zhenzhen did at the beginning, so she soon fell asleep from exhaustion. Ye Zhenzhen said goodbye with repeated thanks from Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Xunting.
Fortunately, Chu Ningyan knew how to choose the time. If it were any later, there would be a curfew.
Hurry up and hurry up. On the way back, you still met the Jinwu Guard who was on duty. Fortunately, she was on good terms with Mrs. Qin. Her husband, Mr. Qin, also knew her and let her go immediately. Otherwise, there might be another incident.
