King Yi often went to the border for business, so he sent Kong Yuelan to the prefectural government in the north city.
If he returned to the North City, he would live in the prefectural residence, without any hesitation. Anyway, the family should live in harmony.
After a few months, Shi Qingluo's belly became bigger and bigger. Because she was expecting twins, she had been trying to control her weight, and Xiao Hanzheng also often took care of her.
That day, Shi Qingluo went for a walk with the support of Xiao Baili.
Suddenly I felt a pain in my stomach, but it wasn't very severe.
She held Xiao Baili's hand and said, "I should be giving birth soon."
Xiao Baili was very nervous, "Ah, then I will take my sister-in-law to the delivery room."
Fortunately, they didn't walk far.
He immediately ordered someone to call his mother and elder brother.
Although it was Shi Qingluo's first time giving birth, she had seen her mother give birth before, so she was not very nervous.
He supported Xiao Baili and walked back to the delivery room that had been prepared long ago.
Xiao Hanzheng found a midwife a month ago and asked her to live in his home.
At this moment, the midwife arrived first and looked at Shi Qingluo. "Madam, you still have some time before giving birth. Don't scream later. Save your strength for the birth."
"It's better to eat something first, so you will have more strength later."
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Okay, then cook me a bowl of noodles."
Xiao's mother immediately ran to the kitchen and cooked noodles for her daughter-in-law.
When Xiao Hanzheng came back, he saw his young wife eating noodles.
He found that his young wife was really different. She could remain so calm before giving birth.
After Shi Qingluo finished eating the noodles, she asked Xiao Hanzheng to help her take a bath.
Her stomach doesn't hurt much at the moment, but she needs to take a bath, otherwise she won't be able to take a bath during the month of confinement.
Xiao Hanzheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could also see that his young wife wasn't in much pain yet.
So he helped her take a bath and dried her hair.
Shi Qingluo gradually began to feel pain in her stomach. At first she could still take a break, but later the pain would not stop at all.
She had heard people say that giving birth was painful, but now she was actually experiencing that pain.
But she listened to the midwife very much. Even though she was in pain, she endured it and didn't cry out. She just held the bed sheet tightly with both hands.
Xiao Hanzheng did not go out, but insisted on staying in the room. Seeing his young wife enduring the pain, he felt so distressed.
He took one of her hands and told her to pinch herself if it hurt.
Shi Qingluo was naturally touched, but she couldn't bear to pinch her husband. "I can still bear it, don't worry."
Although it was painful, it was still within the tolerable range.
Because she exercised regularly before becoming pregnant and took daily walks after becoming pregnant, Shi Qingluo had a smooth delivery.
After about two hours of intense labor pains, the first baby came out.
The midwife picked up the baby and handed it to Xiao Hanzheng and his mother with a smile, "It's a little boy."
Looking at the wrinkled and slightly red child, Xiao Hanzheng's heart softened, "Very good."
After being slapped twice on the buttocks, the child burst into tears. His cry was very loud and he sounded like a healthy boy.
Mother Xiao washed the child herself, then dressed him and wrapped him up.
About another cup of tea later, the second child was born safely.
The midwife held the baby in her arms and kept saying nice things, "Congratulations, sir. It's a daughter this time. Your wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. It's a good omen!"
Xiao Hanzheng looked at his soft daughter, and his heart softened again. "Okay, reward!"
After the child was taken away for cleaning, Xiao Hanzheng sat in front of the bed and held Shi Qingluo's hand, "We have a son and a daughter, thank you for your hard work, my wife!"
Shi Qingluo had already seen his children, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "It's worth the hard work."
She feels really lucky to have both a son and a daughter.
Shi Qingluo was very tired after giving birth, so she fell asleep after cleaning.
She didn't wake up until the evening. Xiao Hanzheng was working in the room watching over her.
If he hadn't said it, I wouldn't have felt it. But when he said it, Qing Luo was actually a little hungry. "A little bit."
"Mother has already prepared the food. I'll have someone bring it over right away." Xiao Hanzheng said and told the maid to bring it.
So Shi Qingluo had the first postpartum meal prepared by her mother-in-law, which was very good.
Then Xiao's mother brought the two children in.
Shi Qingluo looked at the two little guys and her heart melted. She liked them more and more no matter how she looked at them.
Although a wet nurse had been found in advance, Shi Qingluo still insisted on feeding the child herself.
After the first few days passed, Xiao Hanzheng and the child slept together.
She wants to raise the child herself and experience the joy of being a mother.
Xiao Hanzheng naturally would not object. He was indeed not used to it at first, but gradually he came to appreciate the joy of raising a child.
When the people knew that Shi Qing had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, they praised her for being blessed and worthy of being the disciple of the old immortal.
The two children do not look alike. They are fraternal twins. The son looks like Shi Qingluo, and the daughter looks like Xiao Hanzheng.
After one month, both children have grown up and are very good-looking, fair and tender, and very beautiful.
At the same time, he also inherited the IQ of Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, and is particularly smart and clever.
King Yi, the fifth prince, Xi Rui and Yue Lu were all envious and loved it very much.
King Yi, the grandfather, visits his grandson and granddaughter every day and doesn't even like to go to the border.
Also because he hadn't been to the border for two months, he liked soft children more and tried hard to have a baby with Kong Yuelan.
When Shi Qing's child was five months old, Kong Yuelan also became pregnant.
Kong Yuelan was a little embarrassed at first. She hit Liang Yulin a few times and said, "It's all your fault. Our child is younger than my grandchildren."
Liang Yulin held her hand, unable to stop smiling, "In the future, our children will have nephews and nieces to look after them, how wonderful."
He added, "They are only one year apart in age, so they will definitely have a good relationship in the future."
Kong Yuelan thought it made sense and glared at him, "You're the only one who can say that."
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor, who were far away in the capital, were very happy when they learned that Kong Yuelan was pregnant. They sent rewards to the North City one after another, making all the ladies and young ladies envy Kong Yuelan to death.
Some people are jealous, but they just don't dare to say it out loud.
The following year, Kong Yuelan gave birth to a son.
Another two years passed.
Shi Qingluo has been working hard to improve the status of women in the Craftsmen Academy and help them establish the concept of self-reliance and self-improvement.
Xi Rui established scholarships and grants to help students with good academic performance but from poor families.
He provided great help to women, and therefore when Shi Qing entered the Craftsman College, he was liked and respected by the female students.
There is also a group of outstanding students graduating. As mentioned before in the admissions department, all of them have been assigned jobs, and their monthly salary is not low.
The wages for repairing bridges in various places were especially high, with several taels of silver a month, as well as subsidies for food, cloth, etc.
Women are able to work and earn as much as men, and their status in the family has improved significantly.
It also made the people of Northern Xinjiang fully realize the benefits of the Craftsmen's College, so they rushed to send their children to study in the college.
Xiao Hanzheng is also working hard to develop the northern border.
A trading market was established on the border and became increasingly prosperous.
Many policies have been formulated according to local conditions to popularize the planting of fruit trees, medicinal herbs, flowers and breeding.
He has shipping channels in Beijing, Jiangnan and other places, so the fruits, medicinal herbs, flowers and various meats he grows are shipped outside for sale, and he has no worries about sales.
As a result, the lives of people in northern Xinjiang are getting better and better, and there are almost no cases of starvation.
Many places have even become rich because of planting and breeding. Every household has no shortage of food. Those who are willing to spend money can eat meat every day and often wear new clothes.
This is also a real political achievement.
When the child was a little over three years old, an imperial edict came from the capital, transferring Xiao Hanzheng back to Beijing to serve as a third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The ending is too slow, I have updated twice in the past few days~~ I won’t write about Northern Frontier in detail, I will write about raising a baby after returning to the capital. I am not good at writing daily life, so I probably won’t write too much. I’ll write about this in the extra chapter if you guys want to see the travel back to the modern times~ I see a lot of friends asking about the new book, so I’ll say it here, after this book is finished, the new book is likely to fill the gap in the last quick travel pre-collection, and then there is a modern metaphysics-themed stalk, it may also open this, or I will open this after the quick travel is finished, and then I will lose the pre-collection~~ (End of this chapter)
