Chapter 294 Qin Zhizhi took action!
The Qin family is very fast.
Three days after the Gu family's banquet, the Qin family found a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Wang family.
Because both families were satisfied with the marriage, the proposal went very smoothly.
After the Wang family agreed to the marriage, the Qin and Wang families became busy.
The Qin family was not partial. The marriages of several children all followed the same standards and procedures, and they did not look down on Wang Xinru just because the Wang family was a merchant.
The betrothal gifts that Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Li prepared for Qin Qinglin were the same as those for his two brothers.
Whether serving as an official in the court or managing the family business, he has made indispensable contributions to the Qin family.
With the Qin family's attitude clear, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang began to prepare a dowry for Wang Xinru.
There is Princess Yunfei as an example in front, and there is the dowry prepared by the Ning family for Ning Ning in the back. The betrothal gift given by the Qin family is the same, so how can the dowry of their own daughter be less?
While Mr. and Mrs. Wang were preparing a dowry for their younger daughter, they did not forget their eldest daughter.
They are all daughters of the Wang family, so we cannot favor one over the other. Wang Yan’s dowry had already exceeded that of many legitimate daughters of aristocratic families, and now the youngest daughter’s dowry is even more.
Fearing that their eldest daughter would be sad, Mr. and Mrs. Wang gave her a lot of compensation.
Wang Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She and her husband had been married for so many years, and even if her parents gave her more, she would not be jealous. So why did her parents give her more dowry?
But Mr. and Mrs. Wang insisted that their daughter accept them. Wang Yan was helpless and added these things to her sister's dowry.
He also added a dowry to his sister and sister-in-law from his own private treasury.
Although she has been married for many years, her father and mother have not treated her badly. Her mother has never forgotten her when her younger sisters have good things.
She and her sister had always had a good relationship, so how could these things compare to a strand of her sister's hair.
Just after the Qin and Wang families finalized the engagement between Qin Qinglin and Wang Xinru, Qin Zhizhi took action.
After lunch that day, Qin Zhizhi was walking in the yard when she suddenly had a mild contraction.
When Qin Zhizhi realized something was wrong, the first thing she did was to call out "Wanwan".
"Wanwan, I feel like I might be giving birth."
After studying for this period of time, Qin Zhizhi has been able to face the issue of childbirth calmly, and Wanwan is even calmer than her.
"Master, don't worry. Let them help you to your room. Then go call the midwife, your aunt, and your mother-in-law. Wanwan is here, so stay calm."
When Qin Zhizhi was communicating with Wanwan, she stopped. The maidservant saw her stop and asked with concern, "Young Madam, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"
"I might be going into labor soon. Don't be nervous. Help me to the bedroom first, then call the midwife over."
Although Qin Zhizhi told them not to be nervous, the maid still became nervous when she heard that she was about to start.
"Young Madam, are you okay? We'll help you in right away."
Several people carefully helped Qin Zhizhi to the dormitory. Seeing that she looked calm, they felt relieved.
Because Qin Zhizhi's due date had arrived, the maids in her courtyard were very nervous every day, fearing that something might go wrong.
Before going on duty every day, Gu Jinghuai would remind them that everything should be based on the young lady's orders and no mistakes should be made.
Qingliu was Qin Zhizhi's head maid. After settling Qin Zhizhi down, she immediately gave instructions to the other maids.
"Qingya, go call the midwife."
"Qingchun, go inform the old lady, the eldest princess, and the second lady."
"Qing Cui, ask Xiao Si to go to where the eldest master is on duty and call him back."
"Qingqiao, go to the Qin family and inform them."
…
After receiving the order, several people ran out of the door. The little maid was very anxious and forgot the usual rules of the Gu family that they were not allowed to walk quickly in the courtyard.
The midwife moved into Qin Zhizhi's yard early, so she arrived the fastest.
When the midwife arrived, she immediately ordered people to boil water and prepare things that might be needed for delivery.
Then the midwife came to Qin Zhizhi to check her condition. At this time, waves of strong contractions came, and Qin Zhizhi's face changed with pain.
She didn't expect the contractions to be so painful. Qing Liu was so scared that his face turned pale and he spoke incoherently.
"Young Madam, if you feel any pain, just hold Qingliu's hand."
"Qing Liu, I'm fine. I feel fine at the moment."
Qin Zhizhi saw Qingliu's face turned pale with fear, and she endured the pain to comfort her.
Qingliu saw that the young lady was in pain and tears of heartache streamed down her face. The midwife was afraid that her presence would affect Qin Zhizhi's delivery, so she said to her.
"Miss Qingliu, the young lady is in good condition and her cervix is dilating quickly. I think she will give birth soon. Please go to the kitchen and see why the hot water hasn't been delivered yet."
When Qingliu heard that hot water was going to be needed soon, she walked out without even wiping her tears.
"I'll go check the kitchen right away. I promise I won't be late."
Seeing that Qin Zhizhi was still calm, the midwife smiled and encouraged her, "Don't worry, Madam. The baby's position is good and everything will go smoothly."
Qin Zhizhi nodded, and Wanwan also told her that there would be no problem and she just needed to cooperate with the midwife.
"Young Madam, please conserve your energy for now and push harder when you give birth." The midwife was giving instructions on what to do.
Qin Zhizhi was not someone who could not bear pain. She could endure the pain of contractions, so the delivery room was quiet.
When the old lady and her companions rushed over, they were so nervous when they heard how quiet the delivery room was.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go in and see Zhizhi."
Mrs. Mu was also worried about her daughter-in-law. She seemed to be comforting her mother-in-law, but in fact she was comforting herself.
"Go in and help!" the eldest princess ordered the nanny behind her.
Her nanny was not only knowledgeable in pharmacology, but also experienced in midwifery. She was specially selected by the emperor.
"Yes, Princess." The nanny hurried in to help.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. We can't help if we go in, and it will disturb Zhizhi. Let's wait outside and let Madam go in."
The eldest princess stopped Mu from entering, and several people stayed outside.
Not long after the nanny went in, a servant came out and reported to the few people about Qin Zhizhi's condition in the delivery room. Only then did they feel relieved after hearing that.
"Go and stew the ginseng that the emperor gave to the young lady last year." The maid who served the eldest princess ordered.
After receiving the order, the maid quickly went to the warehouse to get ginseng.
"Sister-in-law, thank you!" Mrs. Mu was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
She and the old lady also had ginseng in their storehouses, but it was far inferior to the one that the emperor rewarded to the eldest princess.
"Sister-in-law, we are all family. Why be so polite? Zhizhi and the child's safety is more important than anything else."
The eldest princess patted Mu's hand. She truly loved Qin Zhizhi. A ginseng was nothing to her. She wouldn't feel sorry for it even if it was something more valuable.
The old lady held the eldest princess's hand, and although she didn't say a word of thanks, everything was said without words.
The wives that both sons married were carefully selected from among the best, and were the blessings that the Gu family had earned in their previous life.
