Chapter 155 Shen Suisui is here
Xie Hui also advised: "Master Shen, don't worry. If there is any problem in the Dali Temple, I and the seniors are here, so nothing will happen."
"Yes, yes, Lord Shen, just go back without worry. If there is a case, it won't be too late for you to come back!"
When Shen Yun came out, Xie Hui came out to see him off, "Uncle, I will congratulate you someday."
"Okay, wait until the child's third birthday, and then come home to play."
When Shen Yun got home, Shen Su and He Ying's mother were in the house accompanying the birth, while everyone else was standing in the yard, even Lu Ne was waiting there.
"How is it? What did the old lady say?"
Madam Shen replied, "Mrs. Wen said the fetus is in the right position and the baby is not big, so it should be smooth. Kang Ge'er has also gone in to accompany her."
Shen Yun nodded and said nothing. In their family, it was not considered unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room. When his wife gave birth to her children, he went in to accompany her. When Old Lady Shen knew that her son went into the delivery room to accompany his wife, she was so angry that she scolded him. The second time, she only complained a few words. Now it was her grandson's turn, and Old Lady Shen said nothing at all.
Regarding giving birth, Mrs. Shen said that it would be smooth, but it would not be easy. Shen Yuan and Shen Xi frowned when they heard their sister-in-law's cries of pain in the room. Seeing this, Mrs. Shen asked them to go back.
"You two are just little kids, so don't stay here. Go back to your room." Madam Shen was also worried that the two would be scared, but Shen Yuan shook his head and decided to stay, and Shen Xi did the same.
After an unknown amount of time, everyone heard a cry and stared at the door. Then a middle-aged woman opened the door and came out. She was interrupted just as she opened her mouth to speak.
It was He Ying's father and grandfather, as well as Shen Yun and Shen Yuan. The four of them asked Wen Po in unison: "How is Ying Niang? / Is my sister-in-law okay?"
The middle-aged woman smiled immediately. She had delivered countless babies, but there were not many like the Shen family. Not only did her husband go in to accompany her during the birthing, but even her father-in-law and sister-in-law were most concerned about the adults rather than the children.
"Congratulations, mother and child are safe."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much."
Madam Shen also took out the generous reward that she had prepared long ago, "Thank you for your hard work."
After a while, the place was cleaned up and Shen Yuan and the others could go in to take a look. Shen Yuan finally met his sister-in-law and little nephew.
"Sister-in-law, how are you?"
He Ying's face was a little pale now, but she seemed to be in good spirits. She was half lying on the bed, and the child was wrapped up and placed beside her.
"I'm fine. I'm fine."
Even the midwife said that He Ying's birth was smooth, and Mrs. He was very fortunate that her daughter was not like her in this respect.
Shen Yuan turned his gaze to the small blanket beside his sister-in-law. The child was very small, and the skin was a little red and wrinkled. This was the first time Shen Yuan saw the appearance of a newborn baby.
Old Madam Shen looked at her great-grandson and was extremely happy. She smiled and said, "You know what, my nephew Xiao is right. I think Suisui looks like Manman."
"Yes, he looks like her." Mrs. He also nodded in agreement. She also saw Manman when he was born. "It's good that he looks like Manman. He will definitely be very handsome when he grows up."
Everyone was talking at once, but Shen Xu looked dumbfounded, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
"Can you bring the child out so I can see him?"
Outside, Grandma He couldn't help but want to see her great-grandson. Shen Yun and He's father beside her also wanted to see the child, but they were too embarrassed to ask, because after all, there must be an old person at home.
Mrs. He stood up and picked up the child. "I'll take him out for them to have a look."
They were all outsiders, and as their clothes were dirty, they did not dare to touch the child. They just lowered their heads to take a look, but it seemed that this look was not enough. Mrs. He took the child back and the three of them were still savoring the experience.
"Let's all go out and let the young couple talk alone, and then Yingniang can have a good rest." Madam Shen saw that her nephew's eyes were almost falling on his wife.
The two families had agreed before that while He Ying was in confinement after childbirth, Mrs. He would move to the Shen's house. If Mrs. He wanted to live at the Shen's house to accompany her daughter, then He's father wouldn't be able to stay there, so he had to move to the Shen's house as well. In that case, it would be a good opportunity for Old Lady He to come over as well, and she could give her grandson-in-law some guidance for the palace examination. Moreover, the old man was in a good mood today, and when he saw Lu Ne in the yard, he asked him to come often before the examination, and he would teach him together.
Lu Ne was naturally overjoyed to have the guidance of a great scholar. When Shen Xi sent him out, he never smiled.
"Don't forget to write to tell your uncle and aunt the good news."
"Okay, I'll write it when I get back. Xixi, I will also do well in the palace examination and strive to stay in the capital, so that you won't be too far away from home in the future." Lu Ne knew in his heart that his father was the magistrate of Jinling, so if he was appointed as an official outside, he would not be able to return to Jinling, not even to the vicinity of Jinling. Moreover, if he was to some remote place, Xixi would suffer if she followed him, and he didn't want that.
"Well, I'm waiting."
After returning to the inn, Lu Ne began to write a letter to his family, saying that he had ranked 80th in the imperial examination, and then wrote about the care the Shen family had given him after he came to Beijing. He especially mentioned that because of the Shen family, the great scholar He had helped him read his essay and said he would give him guidance for the palace examination. He also mentioned that Shen Xi's cousin had ranked second in the imperial examination and had a son today.
Because the results of the imperial examination were announced today, the emperor summoned Xie Hui into the palace to chat.
"Did you see the results today? The second place winner is your future brother-in-law. Remember to go and congratulate him next time. You're going to marry his sister in the future, so you can't fail to please your brother-in-law."
The emperor felt quite regretful when he said this, as he never got to live up to the feeling of being a brother-in-law. His sister had her own ideas and it was not his turn to have a say.
"Manman's sister-in-law is giving birth today, so today must be very busy. It's better not to rush over to disturb her."
"Born today? What a coincidence! This is a double happiness!" The emperor was in a good mood, and he liked to admire people when he was in a good mood. "Deqing, go pick out some auspicious things and deliver them to the Shen residence in person. Tell them that I happened to hear that the Shen family had a double happiness. Such a happy event is rare, and I want to add to the joy. Go tomorrow, and don't bother today."
The emperor knows that it may take a woman a particularly long time to give birth, even within a day. If he suddenly goes there today and the baby isn't born yet, he will have to receive her, which will be troublesome.
"Oh, Shen Zigeng is so lucky. He has a promising son, grandchildren, and a good son-in-law."
Xie Hui suddenly added: "My daughter is also promising."
The emperor didn't understand at first, but then he found it funny. He thought this child really took after his parents and was a romantic man.
He also said like coaxing a child: "Yes, my daughter has a promising future, and she is beautiful and smart. We will be a perfect match in due time."
