Soon, Mrs. Ouyang came with Ayu, who was holding a bowl of ginseng soup.
The two entered the delivery room. Madam Ouyang brought the ginseng soup over and fed it to Dugu Lanxi. "Lanxi, drink some ginseng soup. Giving birth takes a lot of energy. You can't be without strength."
Dugu Lanxi had abdominal pain and really didn't want to drink the ginseng soup, but for the sake of having a baby, she drank a few sips.
Madam Ouyang had given birth to four or five children herself, so she knew some common sense about childbirth. She comforted Dugu Lanxi. She didn't know about others, but she believed that the eldest daughter-in-law must be the strongest one.
She did not leave the delivery room, but stayed in the delivery room with Dugu Lanxi.
Hua Fushu asked Madam Ouyang to step back, and began to help Dugu Lanxi adjust her breathing, coordinate with the contractions, and start pushing.
Outside the house, Ye Yunlu paced back and forth, feeling extremely anxious and worried.
"Aunt Ayu, why isn't Lan Xi calling out?" he asked Ayu beside him.
Shouldn't a woman giving birth scream and shout?
Ah Yu said, "Young Master, giving birth requires strength. Madam Lanxi didn't scream or shout in order to save energy for childbirth."
"Isn't she in pain?" Ye Yunlu asked again.
Ah Yu replied, "Giving birth is bound to be painful."
"Lan Xi is afraid of pain." Ye Yunlu frowned and looked at the closed door of the delivery room from time to time.
A Yu did not respond to Ye Yunlu's words. She knew that Madam Lan Xi would only show her love this time.
Not getting an answer from A Yu, Ye Yunlu began to pace back and forth again.
Seeing this, A Yu did not stop the eldest master.
Not long after, a clear cry was heard from the delivery room!
Born!
Ye Yunlu stopped abruptly. He felt that everything around him had become quiet, with only the crying of a baby!
"It's born! Lan Xi is born!"
He muttered to himself, all kinds of emotions such as joy, nervousness, excitement, etc. surging in his heart.
Inside the house, Hua Fushu took the bloody baby from the midwife Sun, placed it on a table covered with a clean white cloth, cut the baby's umbilical cord with a pair of scissors washed with hot water, and wiped the blood off the baby's body.
Sun Wenpo took care of Dugu Lanxi's postpartum care.
"The little girl born to Madam Lanxi is so pretty." Yuzhi said, looking at the baby's chubby, rosy face.
"Is it a daughter I gave birth to?" Dugu Lanxi, who was lying on the delivery bed, turned her head to look over.
She was clearly pregnant with a son, so how come the baby was born a girl?
Hua Fushu turned his head and glared at Yuzhi, who then shut up obediently and dared not say anything nonsense anymore.
"Hua'er, is the one I gave birth to a daughter?"
Dugu Lanxi's tone was a little anxious, as if she wanted to confirm that she must have given birth to a daughter, not a son.
Hua Fushu's hand movements suddenly stopped, she knew that Dugu Lanxi wanted a son.
My eldest sister-in-law had been praying for a child for many years. Once she became pregnant, she naturally wanted a son to carry on the family line for her husband.
"Sister-in-law, boys and girls are actually the same. I'll hold the baby in my arms and show it to you later. Our eldest daughter is so beautiful."
Dugu Lanxi let out a soft sigh.
A tear rolled silently from the corner of her eye.
He’s really not a son.
"Lan Xi, you can't cry during the confinement period. Yun Lu cares about you, not the child. I like grandchildren as much as his father does." Madam Ouyang wiped away a few tears from the corners of lonely Lan Xi's eyes. She and Ye Shiheng were looking forward to the eldest daughter-in-law giving birth to a grandson, largely because the eldest daughter-in-law wanted a son.
In fact, even if the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a granddaughter, she and Ye Shiheng would like her.
This is the bloodline that the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to for their Ye family with her life. How could they, as the parents-in-law, not like it?
Flying courtyard.
The news of Dugu Lanxi giving birth to a daughter reached the old general's ears.
"Is it a girl?" The old general's aged face showed a hint of disappointment.
He wanted a great-grandson so that he could meet the ancestors of the Ye family in the afterlife.
"Let it be a girl." The old general quickly accepted this fact.
The eldest grandson's wife is willing to sacrifice her life for her grandson Yunlu, so if the eldest grandson's wife gives birth to a daughter, then it's a daughter.
Their family also cherishes daughters.
He currently has two grandsons' wives, but he is most satisfied with his eldest grandson's wife.
The old general said to the visitor, "Go back and tell Lan Xi to take good care of herself and recuperate. I'll go see her tomorrow. Also, tell Lan Xi that as the eldest daughter's title, I, her great-grandfather, need to think carefully about it."
The maid responded and returned to Fengquexuan to relay what the old general had said to her wife.
The old general showed disappointment when he learned that it was a girl. The maid tactfully did not tell Dugu Lanxi and said that the old general was very happy.
In the evening, the sun sets in the west.
When Ye Shiheng learned that his eldest daughter-in-law had given birth to a granddaughter, he was not as disappointed as he had imagined.
He changed his route and went to his eldest daughter-in-law's yard to see his granddaughter.
"Granddaughter, grandpa is looking at you." His voice was as loud as a bell, revealing a bit of joy.
He finally became a grandfather.
"Keep your voice down, Lan Xi is resting." Madam Ouyang made a gesture to him to keep quiet.
Ye Shiheng slowed down and entered the house.
"Where's my granddaughter? Hold her up for me to see."
Madam Ouyang took the red swaddling clothes from the wet nurse's arms. Ye Shiheng took two steps forward and looked at the baby in Madam Ouyang's arms with his dark eyes.
The baby's face was rosy and there was some vernix caseosa on it. She had her eyes closed as if she was asleep, and her hands were clenched into small fists.
"Granddaughter, I'm your grandpa." Ye Shiheng spoke softly, fearing that his voice would be too loud and disturb his granddaughter.
He looked at his granddaughter's face, which was so small that it was not even as big as his palm.
"My granddaughter seems a bit like Lan Xi, but more like Yun Lu."
Madam Ouyang said, "How can such a young child look more like Lan Xi or Yun Lu?"
"How is he not like Yunlu?" He remembered that when his eldest son was just born, he looked almost the same as his granddaughter.
Daughters resemble their fathers, sons resemble their mothers.
The granddaughter still looks more like her father.
Madam Ouyang didn't think her granddaughter looked more like her eldest son. Newborns generally look the same. As the child grows older and matures, it's natural to tell whether she resembles her father or mother more.
On the second day after Dugu Lanxi gave birth, the name of the eldest daughter of the Ye family was decided.
The name was given by the old general.
Lush leaves - taken from the lush orchid leaves in spring and the bright osmanthus flowers in autumn.
Dugu Lanxi, who was in confinement after giving birth, was somewhat happy after hearing what Ye Yunlu said. However, she wondered if the name was a little unfamiliar. She said,
"The character 玮锐 has too many strokes. Will my daughter complain about this name being too difficult to write in the future?"
Ye Yunlu held his daughter in his arms with expert technique, having practiced this technique extensively. "Our daughter's name has the character 'Lan' from your name, and my surname as well. How wonderful! Grandfather and father both think this name is good, so we'll call our daughter Ye Weirui."
There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes as he coaxed the tiny baby in the cradle, "Isn't that right, Wei'er? From now on, we'll call you Ye Weirui. Little Wei'er, Daddy's little Wei'er."
