Early the next morning, Fu Song and Zhu Liang came to pick them up.
Ni Guzhu was dressed in new clothes inside and outside, and was held by Fu Song. He stood at the entrance of the main courtyard, waving to Shu Shu and Jiu Age with a smile on his face, and said in a sweet voice: "Go back, I will be back in two days...
"
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu couldn't laugh or cry.
This is what Mrs. Caibao told the two of them just now.
The little guy learns the tongue.
Ni Guzhu also laughed after finishing speaking.
"Cackle, cluck..."
It's cold outside, and pregnant women's bodies are hot and cold. Everyone is afraid that Shu Shu will catch a cold.
Mrs. Bo urged again.
Brother Jiu then told Bai Guo: "Help Fujin go back to the house!"
Shu Shu didn't try to be brave and went back to the house.
Brother Jiu will send the group to the front.
Until he got on the carriage, Ni Guzhu's face was full of novelty, and there was nothing unfamiliar about it.
Mrs. Bo and Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him.
It would be really embarrassing if the little one really cried.
Shu Shu really can't take care of Nigu Zhu at the moment.
If Ni Guzhu was not used to going out, Mrs. Bo would have to take her back.
After the carriage left, Brother Jiu turned around and returned home.
Shu Shuzheng was leaning on the kang in the study room, holding an imperial calendar for next year in his hand.
Next year is the year of Guiwei.
When later generations mentioned people born in the Year of the Sheep, they all said, "Nine out of ten sheep are incomplete, and one sheep stands in front of the temple."
It means that among ten people born in the Year of the Sheep, nine will have bad fortunes or have incomplete parents, and the remaining one will become rich and powerful and become a high official.
Others say, "Nine out of ten sheep are incomplete because they are women and not men."
However, there is no such statement yet.
The current saying is "ten sheep and nine blessings", which means that children born in the Year of the Sheep will have a good life.
Shu Shu also had to give birth in the first month of the year, and only after hearing it mentioned by others did she realize the true meaning of this old saying.
It is estimated that the "nine imperfections" in later generations are the rumors of the "nine blessings and perfections".
The common people are rarely literate and they only listen to the pronunciation.
If "Nine blessings are complete" is heard as "Nine blessings are complete", it will be regarded as "Nine imperfections".
Shu Shu took the imperial calendar and started reading it from the first day of the new year.
Yuan Chun was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year and has been said to be a very lucky person since he was a child.
As the grandson of the emperor, it would be too eye-catching to be born on the first day of the Lunar New Year and have a "great blessing" name.
A person who aspires to a high position may be able to accommodate triplets of "auspicious" nephews and nieces, but he may not be able to accommodate a nephew who is blessed with great fortune.
It's appropriate to take a bath on the second day of the lunar month, and to pray for a child on the fifth day of the lunar month. It doesn't matter if you are born on these two days.
Everything is inappropriate on the third day of the lunar month.
If the fourth child is in the bed, it should be suitable for delivery, right?
Shu Shu put down the imperial calendar and relaxed her breathing.
She asked herself to relax and not be nervous.
When Brother Jiu came in, he saw her exhaling and inhaling.
"What's wrong?"
Brother Jiu quickly took two steps and said, "Is your stomach falling again?"
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "No, don't worry, I'm just thinking that I won't be at home tomorrow, and I feel a little nervous."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu felt uneasy and said, "Then I will take leave tomorrow and come back to the palace the next morning?"
"No, no, didn't the imperial doctor say that if there are signs, it will take several days to activate? Why does it have to be after the second or third day of the Lunar New Year..."
Brother Jiu looked at her carefully and saw that there was not much worry on her face, and said: "I will come back after a formality at the vassal banquet tomorrow, and my son will also pay New Year's greetings to several elders.
Just come home..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, you don't have to worry too much about me. If it really starts to happen, I won't hold on and will send news to the palace."
Brother Jiu sat by the kang, saw the imperial calendar, picked it up, looked through it twice, and said, "Next year's imperial calendar? Are you planning to choose a good birthday for the children?"
Shu Shu pointed to a few pages and said: "On the fifth and eighth day of the lunar month, it is appropriate to have a baby, and on the second day of the lunar month, it is appropriate to take a bath. I just wanted to discuss it with the child, and it would be best to choose these three days to be born."
Brother Jiu didn't believe this at first, but when it came to children, he thought that children's horoscopes involved the five elements, so he started to read them.
The imperial calendar is for the common people to read and is simple and easy to understand.
Brother Ninth, like Shu Shu, read through the first day of the lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Indeed, these days sounded the best.
He looked at Shu Shu's belly, stretched out his hand and gently covered it, and said: "Good boy, I'll be considerate of your Eni and Amma, and choose a good day to start."
There was no reaction in my stomach.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but become worried. He looked at Shu Shu and said, "Why doesn't this child like to move anymore?"
Before, I wanted to do somersaults, and would respond to a slight touch by stretching my arms and legs.
Shu Shu said: "It's almost the official day, that's it. I'm probably sleeping."
There is also the problem of location, it is not as easy to move as before.
Brother Jiu was relieved and said: "Sleep well, eat and sleep well, and you will be fat and healthy."
He was reminded of the shortcomings of the triplets when they were young.
"If the 2nd, 5th and 8th are all suitable for giving birth, then I hope it will be the 8th day of the lunar month..."
After Brother Jiu finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and shook his head: "Forget it, forget it, it's better to hurry up early instead of late, so as to save you from suffering..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. Just when she was about to speak, she felt something was wrong.
I don’t know whether it was redness or water breaking, but there was a reaction, as if there was heat flowing down, and the duration of contractions was also shortened.
Shu Shu's first reaction was to count the time.
It’s the morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month...
It's not the first time I've given birth, so even if the birth is slower, it will take a few hours.
It can be delayed until the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, but not until the first day of the lunar new year.
Good……
As soon as Shu Shu relaxed, she remembered something important.
Take a shower and wash your hair.
"Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath..."
Shu Shu raised her head and gave instructions to Ging Guo who was standing at the door.
Brother Jiu, who was sitting there, jumped up when he heard this. He looked at Shu Shu and his lips trembled: "This...this..."
Shu Shu did not answer immediately, but turned around and unbuttoned his pants and glanced down.
It's true that I'm seeing redness, not my water breaking.
Shu Shu said to Brother Jiu: "Please send someone to Dutong Mansion to pick up Enie!"
Not to mention Brother Jiu's legs were weak, even Ging Guo who was standing at the door was holding on to the door frame.
Brother Jiu took out a breath, calmed down, and said: "Okay, okay, call the imperial doctor to pick up my mother-in-law..."
The whole main courtyard started to move.
The imperial physician on duty has arrived.
He Yuzhu listened to the order and went to Dutong Mansion to pick him up.
The west wing of the delivery room has been drying out for the past two days.
However, Mrs. Bo lived with Ni Guzhu before, and it was not as dark and cool as an empty house. It was almost the same after two days of burning.
Dongyue brought two little girls to decorate the bedroom in the west wing.
When Xiaochun and Xiaosong got the news, they both came to listen to the news.
Xiaochun took the two new mothers to change clothes and wash their hands.
Xiaosong followed Shushu, helping her wash her hair and rub her back.
Shu Shu was not in a hurry anymore.
If your water breaks, you will be pressed for time and will probably have to stay in bed.
If it is red, it may be delayed until tomorrow.
Wash well, eat well...
Although breakfast only lasted an hour, Shu Shu felt that she could eat a cow.
Xiaotang has been waiting nearby, with chicken soup ready on the stove, ready to be cooked at any time.
Shu Shu doesn't want to eat noodles, but wants to eat spring cakes rolled with bean sprouts, which is refreshing and refreshing.
At the beginning of spring a few days ago, I ate once but didn't get enough.
Because of spring cakes, Shu Shu also wants to eat stir-fried vegetables, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and braised beef strips...
Whatever comes to her mind, she says it.
The meat version also includes sauced pork elbow, braised pork, stir-fried mutton with green onions, and the vegetarian version includes scrambled eggs, fried pickled cabbage vermicelli, fried shredded potatoes...
Put it all together at the end, it’s all about spring pancakes.
Xiaotang wrote them all down one by one and went down to prepare.
Shu Shu thought of the last time she was in confinement and had so many taboos and a light diet, so she immediately added: "Another plate of spicy shredded pork and shredded potatoes should also be sour and spicy..."
Xiaotang responded and went down to prepare.
Brother Jiu said: "You can't go hungry, but you can't eat too much. Try less of everything."
Shu Shu said: "I just want to eat meat, and I also want something sour and spicy..."
Brother Jiu said: "You are eating vegetarian food these days. You are greedy for food and water."
Shu Shu had finished washing, got out of the tub, and put on a loose cotton shirt.
Ging Guo prepared a pack of clean towels, and together with Xiao Song, she twisted Shu Shu's hair half dry.
Shu Shu let her hair down and sat next to the smoker to smoke her hair.
At this moment, there was movement outside.
He Yuzhu, who picked them up, came back, and Qi Xi and his wife, Fu Song and Zhu Liang also came with them.
It hasn't started yet, and the main room is not the delivery room, so there is no taboo.
When Shu Shu heard the noise outside, she put on her vest and wanted to get up.
Brother Jiu hurriedly held her down and said: "Get up slowly, I will go to meet..."
As soon as he left the main room, a group of people had already entered the main room.
I think Luo Shi is fine, but Qi Xi is already pale.
Brother Jiu hurriedly consoled him: "There is a leap month in June this year, which makes it nine months. The imperial doctor said that it is normal for ten and a half months to be advanced..."
Having said this, he looked at Jueluo Shi.
My mother-in-law has given birth several times, so she should have experience.
Jueluo thought about the birth dates of her children and nodded: "Yes, it is said that the pregnancy is ten months, but in fact it is only nine and a half months at most. After nine months, we will be ready to start."
Qi Xi's face felt better after listening.
"Ama, Enie, I'm fine, I'm in good spirits..."
At this moment, Shu Shu helped Xiao Song and came out of Dongshao Room.
Seeing her trembling as she walked, Qi Xi hurriedly said: "I'm not a guest. What are you doing here? Go back quickly!"
Shu Shu said with a smile: "I'm going to lie down for a while, I can't move anymore now."
Jueluo Shi took Shu Shu's hand, not daring to let her stand and talk. He still turned back to Dongshuojian, fixed his eyes on her hair, and asked in a low voice: "Seeing red?"
Shu Shu nodded.
Jue Luo made a mental calculation and said, "There's no need to worry too much. If it's early, it will be at night, if it's late, it will be started tomorrow morning."
Shu Shu lowered his head and glanced at his stomach. He felt the contractions were frequent and his stomach was heavy. He said, "I guess I can't wait that long."
Everyone followed in and took their seats.
This is different from what they imagined before coming.
I thought she had already entered the delivery room and everyone was waiting for news outside.
As a result, this person was still staying in the main room and had not entered the delivery room yet.
Shu Shu thought of Madam Uncle who had just been taken back to her house in the morning and said, "Are you frightened?"
Jueluo said: "I just unpacked my luggage and wanted to come back with you, but I persuaded me not to..."
