646 The Depressed Little Muyang
Capital
Jia'an Village.
The emperor saw that little Mu Yang was unhappy and said, "Mu Yang, you went home to rest for a day yesterday, why are you still unhappy today? Didn't you rest enough at home? Uncle Master, can you ask your master for a favor and let you go back to rest for another day?"
"No." Mu Yang shook his head, "Because I didn't practice with Master Dawu this morning. I can still go back in ten days.
Uncle Grandfather, I was unhappy because I found my mother secretly crying at night. She must have been missing my father. My grandmother also cried many times, but she was not at home when I went back this time. She went to the temple to burn incense.
I miss my dad too, why do you have to make him go so far away? I can’t even see him even if I miss him.”
The little child spoke in a baby voice but his words were very clear.
The old imperial teacher's nose was sore, and he hugged the child: "Don't ask him, he won't know even if you ask him. Muyang, the great master took you to pick up eggs, and you don't know the medicine today."
The Emperor looked at the backs of the old man and the child, and muttered, "Is this my fault? The Emperor sent them, and I helped him to shirk responsibility. Besides, would the Emperor not have sent them? With such a big disaster and so many people suffering, shouldn't there be someone with ability to take care of it?"
The Queen Mother came over and said, "These days, letters have been arriving one after another from Jiangnan. An epidemic has indeed occurred. It is almost impossible to cure the epidemic without contacting the patients. Doctors practice medicine by observing, smelling, asking and palpating. Not to mention the teacher, even I am very worried about them.
Yaqin and her husband have seldom spoken in the past few days. The old couple of the Hao family and the old man of the Sun family have all gone back, and the village has become much quieter. Fortunately, Xiao Muyang is here. "
Yaqin went to the temple to burn incense with Changsheng Niangzi these two days. She had originally planned to go, but then she thought about it and decided not to go out because it would be too troublesome.
The retired emperor straightened his thin jacket. After coming to the farm, he seldom wore a brocade robe. The short jacket made it convenient for him to do things.
Now he knows how to collect herbs and grow vegetables, he can eat and sleep well, and he has no intention of leaving here.
"What else can I do? Sicheng and Ping'an are both capable, so they shouldn't be in any trouble. I'll go check out the fields, do you want to come with me?"
"Well, it's boring to be alone at home. Yaqin should be back in the afternoon."
…
At the foot of Hanshan Temple.
Mei Niang, Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Wang got on the carriage.
"I couldn't sleep a few nights ago, but I slept very well here last night. If Xin'er wasn't about to give birth, I really wanted to stay here for a few more days. At home, I felt like ants were crawling around in my heart, but when I came here, smelling the incense and listening to the sutras, my heart immediately became peaceful."
Mrs. Wu has lost a lot of weight. She has been having nightmares recently. She dreams that her husband and son-in-law are seriously ill, but she can do nothing about it.
This kind of thing cannot be told to the elderly at home. One of them is 80 years old, and two are in their 60s. They are already full of worries, and if you add fuel to the fire, they will probably have to lie down.
Madam Wang patted their hands and said, "Don't worry, the eldest master and Ping An have already made plans. Aunt Wu, is Xin'er due in these few days?"
Mrs. Wu nodded: "It will be a few days. The child was able to eat and sleep well during pregnancy, and is not as active as Awu. I'm afraid the birth will be difficult."
In a peaceful courtyard.
Ma was so shocked that she didn't know what to do: "You said Xin'er had a stomachache? She was fine at lunch? Ma, go to the infirmary and call her father back."
She hurried to the backyard. Her sister-in-law was not at home, and neither was her brother or Ping'an.
I ran to Xin'er's yard and just saw Lengshui coming out of the prepared delivery room.
"Second Madam, please send someone to the Marquis' Mansion to find Leng Yue and Tong Miao. I have already asked Miss Xin'er to move into the delivery room. She is just in some pain, so it's too early to give birth."
"Okay, okay, I'll have someone go get someone from both sides."
Ma was somewhat flustered. She stopped looking at her daughter and turned to find someone.
Over the years, all the important matters were taken care of by her elder sister-in-law, and she just had to follow her. She thought Xin'er would give birth in a few days, but she went into labor ahead of schedule.
Zhou Heng is still in the county government office, so we have to send someone to call him. However, if we send someone now, he won't be home until tomorrow noon, and the baby will have been born by then.
It's good that there's no mother-in-law to take care of things, but there's also no help from the in-laws. Xin'er is eighteen or nineteen years old, and she's still like a child, and everything needs to be taken care of in advance for her.
Ma forgot that she had never had to worry about anything. Even her dowry business had been entrusted to her eldest sister-in-law to manage over the years. She was only responsible for collecting the cash during the New Year every year.
The days she spent at her daughter's house were the times when she devoted herself most fully.
Half an hour later.
Sun Siyuan came with his parents, Leng Yue and Tong Miao also came, and the two groups entered the yard almost at the same time.
Ma suddenly felt more confident.
"Father, mother, husband, Xin'er has been in the delivery room for more than half an hour. It's not painful at the moment."
Sun Yinan said to Leng Yue and Tong Miao, "You two go in first, I'll go and check it out in a while."
"yes."
When Leng Yue and the other person went in, Xin'er was eating a fried egg with big mouthfuls.
Leng Shui said, "Sister Leng Yue, it's probably too early for Miss Xin'er to give birth. I feel the fetal position is normal, the amniotic fluid hasn't broken, and there's no bleeding."
After Xin'er finished eating, the maid beside her hurriedly took the bowl from her hand.
Leng Yue checked her pulse and found it was normal. She then felt the fetus and found it had already slid into her lower abdomen.
"Ms. Xin'er, isn't it painful now? Can you tell me how it hurt before?"
Xin'er said again, "It really doesn't hurt now, but I want to go to the toilet."
"Miss Xin'er, please wait a moment. I'll ask your grandfather to come over and examine you. Also, you definitely can't go to the toilet. You'll have to use the toilet later."
Xin'er thought about it and agreed. It would be unacceptable if the child was born in a toilet.
"Chunhong, come here and help me with my hair."
The girl helped her tidy it up.
Leng Yue saw that everything was ready and hurried out to invite Mr. Sun.
She had no idea whether Miss Xin'er would give birth today as her water had not broken and she hadn't seen any blood. She was still healthy.
Sometimes the baby is born a few days after the belly reaches the lower part.
Sun Yinan and his son came in, asked Xiner about her, and examined her.
Xin'er was a little panicked: "Grandfather, I don't feel any pain now, could it be that I'm not going to have the baby? I just ate a big bowl of fried eggs, four in total."
Sun Yinan smiled and said, "Just eat, Xin'er, if you can sleep later, have a good sleep. It's still early now, and it will probably take a few hours. Your father, Leng Yue and others are all here, so just be at ease."
"Xin'er listens to grandfather."
Sun Siyuan followed his father out of the room, "Dad, Xin'er won't be able to give birth for a while, it's getting late, I'll have someone arrange dinner."
The old lady and Ma came over to greet them.
Sun Yinan said, "Everyone should go about their own business. Eat and wash as needed. Xin'er won't be able to give birth for a while. If you have nothing to do in the first half of the night, just take a nap. It is estimated that the real labor will take place in the middle of the night.
Xin'er's mother, look at her belly. Didn't I tell you that her belly is big enough and you should not eat too much in the later stages? You never listened to me."
Sun Siyuan glared at Ma and said, "Dad, I tell them every day, but I'm in the clinic during the day, how can I keep an eye on them all the time?"
