After eating and drinking his fill, Gu Jiu arranged Bai Zhong's next task and then took a walk in the yard for half an hour.
After the contractions became more severe, she slowly walked into the delivery room.
Influenced by her, Liu Zhao did not seem to be in a hurry.
Princess Pei was extremely anxious.
She kept nagging in Gu Jiu's ear, "Which woman gives birth like you, without rushing or rushing? What if something goes wrong?"
"Don't worry about me, mother. Those women who are not like me have such a hard time giving birth."
"Don't you think giving birth isn't hard? You'll cry soon."
Gu Jiu did not argue with Pei.
Because of different ideas, no one can convince anyone else.
Someone came from the Gu family, it was Gu Yan’s wife, Hu.
Hu represented Gu Jiu's family and came to guard her.
Before Gu Jiu entered the delivery room, he held Hu's hand and talked for a long time.
"Sister-in-law, you're tired of coming here so late. Don't stay up late at night. I estimate that the baby won't be born until dawn."
"Don't worry about me, Second Aunt. What's important is the baby in your belly. Go to the delivery room first and give birth peacefully. We will all be waiting outside."
"Qingmei, take good care of the Sixth Young Madam." Gu Jiu could only instruct the maid beside him.
"Madam, please go in quickly. The servants will take care of the things outside."
Seeing that everything was arranged, Gu Jiu followed the midwife into the delivery room.
She personally ordered the layout of the delivery room, which was modeled after modern hospital delivery rooms. Even the delivery bed was specially made, unlike the beds used in that era.
I went up there and silently counted the time, calculating how long it would take to give birth.
Giving birth is such a torturous thing.
Not to mention how painful the contractions were, just lying on the delivery bed, unable to do anything, was a torturous feeling.
Time becomes extremely long during this process.
When the contractions became shorter and shorter, she began to push.
The only thing in her mind was to give birth quickly. She recalled the knowledge from the books, suppressed her voice, and did not want to scream and attract attention outside.
She is a proud person.
Even when giving birth, she refused to lose her pride.
No matter how painful it was, she endured it with willpower, making only screams that wouldn't penetrate the delivery room.
The midwife advised her to scream out loudly if the pain was severe and not to endure it.
How can a woman not scream when giving birth?
Gu Jiu shook her head, she refused.
"I can still hold it in. Come on, check for me. Has the baby come down?"
"Almost there, please try harder, ma'am."
MMP, she has used all her strength, her hair is soaked with sweat, not to mention the thin cotton home clothes on her body, which looks like she was fished out of the water.
Poor kid, when will he come out?
It’s a life-threatening thing!
Gu Jiu was about to collapse.
But even so, she refused to scream.
She has to endure it.
Humans are really strange animals.
As I endured it for a while, it seemed to be less painful.
"Hurry up, is the baby out yet?"
She urged the midwife on, very angrily.
Nanny Fang comforted her, "Madam, don't rush. The baby will come out naturally when it's time."
"What kind of midwife? Don't you know how to help? Ah..."
"It's out, it's out, I can see the end. Madam, please push harder."
When he heard that he had reached the end, Gu Jiu used all his strength to unload the cargo.
"Ma'am, just keep trying. It will be over soon. Don't relax. Stay tight."
“Ahhhhhhh…”
Gu Jiu let out a series of cries, like a dying person, burning the last light of life.
When she could no longer hold it in and relaxed her whole body, she suddenly felt her body lighten, as if something had left her body.
"It's born, it's born..."
"Wow……"
The child cried loudly and with full energy.
As soon as you hear the cry, you know that the child's heart and lungs are fully developed and he is a healthy child.
Gu Jiu came back to life in an instant.
He was drenched in sweat and looked weak and pale.
"Hold the child up and show it to me."
The midwife was beaming with joy. "Congratulations, madam. Congratulations, madam, it's a boy."
"Yeah?"
Gu Jiu smiled, her wish came true.
Hello brother, you don’t have to suffer so much, you don’t have to put yourself in a difficult position, and you can still travel around the world with a sword.
She felt so weak that she asked Nanny Fang to help her sit up a little.
The child is wrinkled, like a little old man
"He's so ugly."
She spoke directly what she really thought.
Nanny Fang was unhappy and quickly said on behalf of the child, "Newborn babies are like this. They will grow up to be very beautiful in a few days."
The midwife nodded repeatedly. "I've delivered hundreds of babies, and they all look like this when they're born: wrinkled and not very pretty. But after three or five days, they'll look good."
Gu Jiu laughed, "No matter how ugly he is, he is my son. I don't mind him."
Nanny Fang was speechless.
Everyone says the child is not ugly, why does the lady still say the child is ugly?
Well, the fact is that the newborn baby is stuck in the birth canal and is wrinkled, which does not look very good.
"Give me a hug."
"Madam, you are weak after giving birth. You must not exert yourself. Lie down quickly. We still need to continue cleaning."
Gu Jiu didn't force it.
She instructed the midwife, "Clean the child and place him beside me. Don't take him out. Just let someone know. If anyone asks you to take the child out to see him, tell him to get lost and say I told you to."
Nanny Fang laughed and said, "The baby has just been born and can't be exposed to the wind."
The midwife followed orders and went out to report the news.
Soon, cheers were heard outside the delivery room.
Various voices thanking God and Buddha.
Gu Jiu tilted his head and looked outside. There was light coming through the window.
"Mammy, is it daybreak yet?"
"It's almost dawn."
Gu Jiu was surprised. She had never expected that she would give birth overnight.
"The child was born at dawn, so why not call him Yangyang? Is there sunshine today? It would be more appropriate if there is."
"Madam, please take a rest. You've been tired all night, so take the time to get some sleep. I'll take care of the naming."
Gu Jiu was very tired, but not sleepy enough.
She said, "The child is from the 彳 generation, and it's difficult to choose a name for him. Even if you read through the Four Books and Five Classics, I don't think you'd be able to come up with a good name."
Nanny Fang laughed. "Madam is just a worrier. It doesn't matter if the name sounds nice or not, the most important thing is that it has a good meaning."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "If the child is a girl, the nickname can be Xiaoxiao, the Xiao in broken dawn. Why not just give the child the nickname Xiaopo?"
"What a crappy name! Madam's naming is not as good as that of the young master."
Gu Jiu didn't care how Nanny Fang scolded her.
At this moment, she was in an abnormal mood and was chatting with Nanny Fang in a random manner.
The noise outside gradually died down, and it was estimated that the people gathered outside had dispersed.
She heard Liu Zhao's voice.
Liu Zhao wanted to enter the delivery room but was stopped by the midwife.
But he insisted on coming in.
Gu Jiu suddenly woke up. How could she let Liu Zhao see her like this?
So she yelled at the outside at the top of her voice: "Don't come in! If you dare to come in, I will turn against you."
Liu Zhao had already stepped one foot into the delivery room and could clearly see the screen blocking his view.
Hearing Gu Jiu's shout, he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
"I'm worried about your child. Let me go in and take a look, just for a moment."
"If you dare to come in, I will strangle you to death."
Gu Jiu was furious. "Don't make trouble for me. Get out of here. I'll go back to the bedroom after I finish cleaning up."
"You really won't let me in?"
"You talk too much nonsense. I'm very tired. Please don't burden me."
When Liu Zhao heard Gu Jiu complaining about being tired, he no longer hesitated and immediately left the delivery room.
He pricked up his ears and listened. There was talking inside, but the words were intermittent and he couldn't hear clearly.
He waved and called Lin Shuping over, "Why didn't Madam let me into the delivery room?"
Lin Shuping's mouth twitched, and he felt very upset.
"Sir, the delivery room is filthy and it's not appropriate for a man to go in there. I'm sure the Madam wouldn't want you to be contaminated by filth either."
"Yeah?"
Lin Shuping nodded heavily, very sincerely.
Liu Zhao really wanted to go in and be with his wife and children.
But he held back.
He didn't want to add burden to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu was so tired after giving birth to the child, but she still didn't forget to care about him, fearing that he would be contaminated by filth. How could he let Gu Jiu down?
Well, Gongzi Zhao has also started to learn to use his imagination, there is nothing wrong with that.
Maybe one day, I can learn real-time barrage and complain about my debt collector son.
Gu Jiu fell asleep while chatting with Nanny Fang. After all, she was really tired after tossing and turning all night.
She didn't even know when she was carried back to the bedroom.
She slept soundly and deeply.
Instead, the child kept crying. He cried for a full hour before he finally stopped crying unwillingly.
The newborn baby cries so much, his cardiopulmonary function is definitely fine, but his temper is obviously not very good either, and he looks quite troublesome.
Liu Zhao squatted in front of the bed, looking at Xiaojiu, then at the child, with a silly smile on his face from time to time. His IQ was completely off the charts.
He found it very interesting to see the baby clenching his hands and holding them high above his head.
I gently touched the child's cheek. The child seemed a little unhappy and disliked his father disturbing his sleep.
He stretched out another finger and touched the child's little finger.
So small.
It turns out that newborn babies have nails, and they are quite long, so they need to be cut.
It turns out that newborn babies have no eyebrows, no eyelashes, and no body hair. The only hair on their bodies is on the top of their heads, commonly known as hair.
He couldn't even see a pore.
It turns out that when children sleep, it is like surrendering.
It turns out that a newborn baby is so small, even though it weighs only six kilograms.
Does such a small child really weigh six kilograms?
He was still kicking his legs, still impatient.
Oh, the brat must be a bad temper.
He was apparently quite quiet in the womb, but he cried for an hour after he was born.
"I don't know what you have to cry about. Your father and I didn't cry, so why are you crying?"
The child is sleeping, ignore him.
What kind of father is this? He starts to dislike me on the first day I was born. Does he have any humanity at all?
"Don't make trouble, your mother worked so hard to give birth to you."
Liu Zhao was like an old nanny, nagging all the time.
There were two people, one big and one small, sleeping soundly on the bed.
When someone came in, Liu Zhao immediately turned from an old lady into a cold and aloof young man.
"Sir, you've been guarding for so long, go and rest. We have servants here to watch over you, so you'll be alright."
Liu Zhao looked indifferent.
"Take good care of my wife and brother. Report any situation immediately."
"Yes, sir."
Liu Zhao seemed to be walking very fast, but in fact he was very reluctant to leave.
He wanted to scold the brat a few more times.
He still has a lot to say to the brat.
Forget it, next time the brat wakes up, he will give him a lesson in fatherly love.
Baby. Brat. Son: I'm just a newborn, why should I endure all this? The promise of tenderness and kindness, it turns out, was all a lie.
Oh, oh, oh, mother, daddy is bullying the baby, beat him.
…
Ouyang Fu felt a little melancholy.
She sat beside the couch, watching the child lying on the couch, trying hard to crawl forward.
The child is already half a year old. He is fair, tender, beautiful and strong.
Too bad it's a girl.
She doesn't dislike children, she loves them from the bottom of her heart.
She also tried to ignore the gender of the child.
But today, Gu Jiu successfully gave birth to a boy. Seeing the people around her smiling happily and seeing Princess Pei thanking the gods and Buddhas to the sky, she felt very excited.
I remember when my daughter Nian Jie'er was born, I felt nothing but disgust towards her.
Even her family felt sorry for her and disliked that she gave birth to a girl.
Isn't my daughter good?
If she can give birth to a daughter, she can also give birth to a son.
Why doesn't the eldest daughter of the prince's family get the attention she deserves?
She felt sorry for her child and herself, and was filled with sadness, but had nowhere to vent.
"Madam, don't be sad." The trusted maid comforted her.
Ouyang Fu turned her head away, "This lady is not sad."
The maid sighed, "Madam, please take good care of yourself. Your next child will definitely be a boy."
Ouyang Fu hummed a sound, then sneered, "Young Master, you only come to my place three days a month. Is it effective for such a long time? If you want to get pregnant, I don't know when."
"Madam, please stop complaining. Be careful that someone will tell the young master about it."
"If anyone dares to go out and say something like that, I'll beat her to death."
Ouyang Fu became furious.
“Chuckle…”
The child smiled happily, and after a lot of hard work, he finally crawled to her side and looked at her eagerly.
Her heart softened all of a sudden, as soft as a puddle of water.
She held the child in her arms, and her love for the child was as much as the grievances in her heart.
She said, "If others despise you, I will love you even more. I will give you the best."
The child grabbed her hair and laughed.
The child's saliva kept flowing down, and the maid was busy wiping it off.
Ouyang Fu observed the child's mouth and said, "The teeth are coming out soon. No wonder there is so much saliva every day."
The mother and daughter were holding each other's heads together, and the child was very happy and giggled non-stop.
The maid laughed and said, "Sister Nian is such a happy person. She loves to laugh and hates to cry since she was born. Unlike the brother born by the eldest lady, he cried for a whole hour after he was born and no matter how we comforted him, he wouldn't stop."
Ouyang Fu was in a bad mood. "He's a brother after all, so it's normal for him to have a bit of a temper."
The maid came to her senses and slapped her own mouth, "This servant is just not good at talking, please don't mind it, Madam."
"Don't be nervous, you're right. Go to the warehouse and take a look. Send it to the second brother during the third wash."
Gu Jiu's child is the second boy, so he is naturally the second brother.
Once you have a nickname, you can call him by that nickname instead of calling him "Second brother" or "Brother".
The maid took the order and went to the storehouse to look for gifts.
…
In the west courtyard, Xiao Qin'er was also ordering people to prepare gifts for the third day of the baby's birth.
"Sister-in-law is really lucky. When she was pregnant, the eldest master neither cheated on her nor took a concubine. And when she got a boy, she shut up everyone's mouths."
"Madam, please give birth to a boy next time." The maid flattered.
Xiao Qin'er stroked her abdomen gently. "The imperial physician also said that I'm an easy child. I'll wait a little longer to raise my child and try to give my eldest brother a younger brother or sister."
"It would be best if I had a younger brother. That way, my older brother would have someone to help him in the future and wouldn't be bullied."
Xiao Qin'er laughed and was in a pretty good mood.
"It's a pity that my sister-in-law got pregnant too late. Even if she gave birth to a boy, he wouldn't be the eldest grandson of the palace."
"That's why everyone says Madam is the most blessed."
Xiao Qin'er smiled proudly. Giving birth to the eldest grandson of the royal palace could be said to be the most successful thing she had done in her life.
The only person who made her dissatisfied was Liu Yi.
Fortunately, Liu Yi never messed around outside that year. He left home early and returned late every day. He was either working in the government office or on his way to the government office. He was so diligent that he seemed like a completely different person.
Xiao Qin'er murmured secretly, "It's better to focus on the job than on women. What's the point of taking a concubine? It's nothing compared to being favored by His Majesty."
After a pause, she instructed the maid, "Take two taels of silver to the kitchen and ask them to prepare a banquet. Remember to select the dishes that the young master likes. I will have a drink with you tonight."
The maid took the order and left.
…
Gu Jiu gave birth to a son, and Pei was very satisfied.
She ordered people to prepare a bunch of gifts and sent them to Gu Jiu.
This is a reward from her, the mother-in-law, to her meritorious daughter-in-law.
When it is the third birthday, she will give her grandson a valuable gift.
…
When Gu Jiu woke up, it was already dark.
She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the window. Had she slept for one day or two days?
Qingmei smiled and said, "Madam slept all day. Did you sleep well?"
Gu Jiu nodded. "I slept very well. This is the most comfortable sleep I've had since I became pregnant."
After unloading, I felt as light as a swallow and even my sleep quality improved several levels.
