Chapter 341 Why did you say the wrong thing again?
Before Jiang Yuzhu could see the person clearly, Shen had already closed the window quickly. Without mentioning her son Xie Zhao, she pretended to be calm and said, "Yuzhu, be careful of the wind."
Shen actually understood the affairs of the court very well. Xie Zhao had no choice but to be busy. However, every time she saw her daughter-in-law taking a walk with difficulty while carrying a big belly, her heart immediately turned away and she felt quite resentful towards her son Xie Zhao.
What a coincidence, he came neither earlier nor later, but on the day when Jiang Yuzhu gave birth. Shen was worried that her son would be dirty, so she sent him to wash up first.
"Yuzhu, you are the first child, so you may not start so quickly."
Shen was experienced, and she and Chen accompanied her, chatting to distract Jiang Yuzhu's attention.
Lying on the delivery bed, Jiang Yuzhu's body was tense. She closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing. The frequency of the contractions was not high at the moment and she could still bear it.
I heard that the first child is very demanding, and a smooth delivery within a few hours is already the fastest. Jiang Yuzhu's pregnancy with twins is more dangerous than with one.
To prevent any unexpected situations, Doctor Shao took his medicine box and waited in the empty room next door.
At the farm, the servants had already made preparations, waiting for the day when they would be needed. Some were boiling water, some were making soup, each doing their own job.
"Mom, is my taro crisp ready?"
In just half an hour, the pain intensified and Jiang Yuzhu began to feel unbearable.
He cursed Xie Zhao, the culprit, several times in his heart, and then began to comfort himself.
When Shen heard this, she hurriedly ordered the maid, "Go and ask the kitchen to bring up the taro cakes!"
Soon, the taro pastry was served. The outer skin was evenly crispy and dotted with white sesame seeds, and the inside was soft and glutinous taro filling with powdered sugar.
Jiang Yuzhu was attracted by the sweet and sticky taste, and the pain was instantly relieved a lot.
After a while, there was movement at the door of the delivery room.
Xie Zhao washed himself several times, shaved, changed into new clothes, and then rushed to the delivery room.
Just as she was about to enter the door, she was stopped by the midwife.
"The delivery room is a filthy place and men are not allowed to enter it."
Since ancient times, women have had to go through this stage on their own, and there has never been a story of a man coming home to accompany their children during childbirth.
The midwife's attitude was firm, and the appearance of Xie Zhao affected their performance.
"How can it be considered unclean that Yuzhu gave birth to my child?"
Xie Zhao had a lot to say and just wanted to see Jiang Yuzhu, so he patiently talked things over with the midwife.
The two midwives looked at each other and said firmly, "Thank you, sir. It's unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room. Besides, it's for your own good not to let you in."
The midwife suddenly remembered that there were precedents of men entering the delivery room.
There was a couple who were childhood sweethearts and were inseparable.
On the day his wife gave birth, the husband broke the rules and went to the delivery room to accompany her. He heard his wife's screams, saw her horrible face during childbirth, and finally saw his child being delivered covered in blood.
From then on, the man suffered nightmares every day, regarded his wife as a vicious person, and gradually distanced himself from her.
Every time the man has sex, he always thinks of the lochia that leaked out on the day his wife gave birth, and he immediately loses interest.
As time went by, the man changed his heart and took in numerous concubines and mistresses.
"Just wait outside the delivery room."
The midwife gritted her teeth and refused Xie Zhao, then turned around and closed the door.
The two were still worried, so they asked Hong Jin to act as the door god.
Hong Jin was afraid of her master and deliberately looked away.
She didn't want to offend the master, fearing that he would take revenge on her later, but for the sake of her ladyship's safety, she couldn't care less!
Thinking of this, Hong Jin's face was cold and he said without any room for negotiation: "Master, please stay."
Being rejected, Xie Zhao had no choice but to stand outside the delivery room with his hands behind his back, pacing and looking nervously towards the door from time to time.
As the sun set, the light began to dim.
Finally, a scream was heard in the delivery room.
The frequency of contractions increased, and Jiang Yuzhu had to grit her teeth to endure it. But there were times when the pain was so severe that it felt as if someone was taking an axe and splitting her in half.
Sweat flowed down her forehead and cheeks and then to her neck. Jiang Yuzhu's clothes were soaked and stuck to her body.
"pain."
Jiang Yuzhu's vision was blurry and her head was dizzy. She couldn't hear clearly what the midwife said. It seemed that she was alone, with a piece of driftwood beneath her, floating in the sea, swaying with the wind and waves.
The wood is already in a precarious position and may fall over at any time.
When Xie Zhao heard the noise, he didn't care about anything else. He pushed Hong Jin away and strode into the delivery room.
The two midwives were about to chase the man away, but Xie Zhao brought a piece of cloth and separated them from the midwives.
"Yuzhu, your husband is here!"
Xie Zhao's face was covered in sweat, and he was even more nervous than Jiang Yuzhu on the delivery bed.
He held Jiang Yuzhu's hand, trembling slightly, feeling uneasy.
In a trance, Jiang Yuzhu held something wet and cold, and she opened her eyes.
Xie Zhao's sweat fell into her eyes. Jiang Yuzhu's vision was blurred. She said uncomfortably, "What is that?"
Xie Zhao: "..."
"Madam, I have come back. Don't be afraid. I am here with you."
Xie Zhao took a deep breath and signaled the midwife not to be disturbed and to continue.
Jiang Yuzhu was not in high spirits to begin with. When she heard that it was Xie Zhao who rushed back, she was very touched at first. After hearing his words, she suppressed her anger and said, "You are not a woman. Do you know how difficult it is to give birth?"
What’s the use of Xie Zhao here!
She is neither a midwife so she cannot help with childbirth, nor a doctor so she cannot save lives at critical moments, and she certainly cannot bear the pain for her.
Is it that important whether she is there or not? She is just an extra person in the delivery room.
"Hongjin, kick the master out and stop causing trouble here!"
It was destined that there would not be that scene of deep love between husband and wife, and Jiang Yuzhu had to give birth quietly.
"Yuzhu, your husband will stay here with you."
Xie Zhao was unwilling to leave, and in order to highlight his role, he said, "How about I give you a brief introduction to the strategy?"
Every time Jiang Yuzhu heard this, she would be very calm, and Xie Zhao felt it was a good idea.
Jiang Yu raised his eyelids and said coldly, "Why, Fugui and Wanwan haven't been born yet, and you're anxious to teach them?"
It's a bit too early to start this enlightenment.
"How about singing a little tune for your husband?"
No matter what Jiang Yuzhu said, Xie Zhao did not refute and tried his best to coax her.
“No.”
Jiang Yuzhu turned her head and looked towards the window.
For a woman giving birth, every moment is torture. She didn't know how much time had passed. The room was lit by an oil lamp, but it was already dark outside the window.
Through the Goryeo paper, you can see the silhouettes of lanterns hanging in the courtyard.
Jiang Yuzhu knew that childbirth for women was a hurdle, but only after experiencing it firsthand did she realize how difficult it was.
But when she thought about giving birth to two smaller versions of herself, Jiang Yuzhu felt an indescribable strength in her heart.
"Yuzhu, if it hurts, we won't have the baby."
Xie Zhao was completely flustered. His original intention was to comfort his wife, but he himself didn't know what he said.
Jiang Yuzhu wanted to sit up and slap Xie Zhao in the face, and said angrily: "If you don't give birth, do you want me to see the King of Hell?"
If the birth is difficult, it will not just be a matter of two lives.
Xie Zhao: "..."
His original intention was to comfort him, so why did he say the wrong thing again?
