677 I have a daughter
"Leng Yue, the fetus is in the correct position. You and Tong Miao should prepare to deliver the baby. Leng Shui, go outside and boil some ginseng soup."
"Yes, Master."
Ping An wiped the sweat off A Wu's forehead and said, "What have you done to yourself when I'm not home? How come you've lost so much weight?"
Ah Wu pouted: "I don't want to either. I can't sleep well every day. I'm worried about you and my father. Husband, you've lost a lot of weight."
Ah Wu frowned again: "Husband, it's okay, you can go out, Leng Yue and the others are here."
Leng Shui came in: "Madam has already made ginseng soup and boiled sugar-water eggs."
"Husband, please go out first. Let them call you if there is anything." Awu insisted.
She doesn't want her husband to see her at her ugliest.
"Okay, okay, I'll go out."
Ping An no longer insisted, and the next step was natural childbirth. Leng Yue and the others were very skilled.
He hadn't spoken to his family since he came back, and he was tired and hungry, so he had to go out to wash up and eat something.
An hour and a half later, Ping'an's daughter was born, a sweet and soft little girl.
Ping An fell in love with it the moment she took it. The little girl even quietly opened one eye to look at her father, while keeping the other eye closed.
Ping An placed the little girl in the hands of the master and said, "Master, please give this child a name."
Sun Sicheng raised his lips and said, "Then let's call her Mu Xuan. People will know that she is Mu Yang's biological sister as soon as they hear her name."
"Hmm, it sounds nice. Xuan means happy and carefree, beautiful and strong. What a good name."
Wu took the small blanket and said, "Mu Xuan, it's time to go into the room. It's so cold outside. We still have to go see your mother. She's suffered a lot today."
…
The next morning, Sun Sicheng's car stopped in front of Ping'an's house, with Zhu Yuanzheng sitting inside.
"Ping An, congratulations on the birth of your daughter."
Ping An laughed, "I do like little girls more than brats."
Sun Sicheng glared and said, "Be careful that little Mu Yang doesn't like you. You can take Mu Yang home today."
"Xiao Ming went to the village early in the morning." Mu Yang is now the happy pill of the village. He feels sad if he can't see these people in the village for a day.
"Sicheng, after reporting to the emperor today, I will submit my resignation letter again. I am determined not to be the director of the hospital anymore and will go home to retire. How many more years can I live for myself now that I am in my early sixties?"
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "The Imperial Hospital is indeed tired, so it wouldn't be bad to take a break. But it's too early to say that you are old. My grandfather, the old imperial tutor, and General Hao's parents are all in their seventies or eighties."
Zhu Yuanzheng looked at Ping An and said, "Ping An, I will go to your farm later to take a look. If the farm is suitable, you can give me two or three rooms to live in. Don't worry, I will be alone with two old servants."
The old lady in his family hasn't talked much to him because of her daughter's matter. Even when he came home last night, the old lady looked unhappy.
"Okay, I'll have some houses built in the spring. My grandfather from the Zhang family also said he wanted to go, and General Huang's old man and old lady also told me that it will take two months to build the houses, and we can move in in April."
Ping An laughed as he spoke. His godfather, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, had told him last year that once he quit his job, he could just live peacefully and travel between the village and the city. Jia'an Village was about to become a high-end nursing home.
The three of them chatted and laughed until they arrived at the palace gate. Zhang Jinping and Bai Jiaxuan were already waiting outside the palace gate.
"Sicheng, Ping'an, why were you in such a hurry to go home yesterday?"
"Jinping, Muyang had a younger sister yesterday, and I will send the red eggs to your home today."
Zhang Jinping smiled and said, "That's great. Ping An will have both a son and a daughter."
Bai Jiaxuan next to him was busy congratulating Ping An. He also had a pair of children, and the eldest son was eight years old.
The Emperor and the Crown Prince met them in the side hall.
The emperor and his ministers talked for an hour, and expressed deep regret over the flood in Yuhang.
Zhu Yuanzheng said: "This time, Sicheng and Ping'an's prescription played a big role. The amount of medicinal materials used in the later stage was quite large. In addition to Huo Zhi, Sicheng and Ping'an from Jiangnan, the third master of the Shi family in Ziteng Mountain also donated a lot of medicinal materials and took out the preventive prescription of Ziteng Mountain. Otherwise, more people would die and the epidemic would not end so quickly."
The emperor was surprised: "The Shi family of Ziteng Mountain? Is he also in Yuhang Prefecture?"
The Zither Mountain Shi family is a very special existence in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
More than forty years ago, the head of the Shi family and Taoist Priest Hu made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty. After that, Taoist Priest Hu disappeared. The head of the Shi family was seriously injured and lived in seclusion with the Shi family in their hometown of Zither Mountain, without accepting any title or official position.
In the end, his father gave the entire area of 100 miles around Zi Teng Mountain to the Shi family, without them having to pay any fees or participate in any labor.
But over the past forty years, the Shi family has insisted on paying 100,000 taels of silver to the court every year, and has paid a total of 4 million taels of silver.
Sun Sicheng said, "Your Majesty, Ping An accidentally helped Master Shi San on the way. Master Shi San got along well with Ping An and was willing to be Ping An's martial arts master. He followed Ping An to the capital this time and is now living in Ping An's house."
The emperor was amazed and said, "Ping An, I heard that the Third Master of the Shi Family is very good at martial arts. You should learn from him."
Ping An stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, but Master Wei said he would only teach me for two years, after which he would have to return to Ziteng Mountain."
The emperor smiled and said, "Two years is not a short time. The old man of the Shi family should be over seventy years old. He must want to go home."
The prince is already seventeen years old, which is the age when he is most interested in Kung Fu, but he is not very able to endure hardship.
"Teacher, it's a pity that I can't leave the palace to study with you. When you have learned it, please teach me."
The emperor looked at his son with a smile and said: "You have too much to learn. Just stop practicing when you have enough."
Zhu Yuanzheng said: "Your Majesty, this trip to Jiangnan was made possible by the concerted efforts of Sicheng, Ping'an, Lord Zhang, and Lord Bai. It was not a complete success, but we all tried our best.
But on the way back, it was freezing cold and we had no choice but to separate. Everyone voluntarily signed an agreement, so that 40 or 50 people could stay in an inn together instead of having to sleep in tents in the wild.
Moreover, we did this after we had been on the road for a month, and the remaining 30% of the road was basically highways and there was no danger.
I am old now, so I will take the imperial doctors with me to follow Sicheng and the others. Especially since Lord Bai had a serious illness in Jiangnan and has not fully recovered yet, he has to follow us as well."
The emperor nodded repeatedly: “This is nothing, it’s just that General Hao has worked hard, leading so many people, and they can’t stay in an inn for a day.
Zhu Yuanzheng, Sicheng, Ping'an, Jinping, Jiaxuan, you all suffered a lot this time. It's no exaggeration to say that you almost escaped death. Go back and have a good rest. When General Hao comes back, we will reward you according to your merits. "
All five of them stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we did what we should do and we do not deserve any reward."
Zhu Yuanzheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am already sixty-two years old this year. My health has deteriorated a lot this time and I may not be able to perform the duties of Yuanzheng anymore. Please allow me to resign."
