After Cherry left, there were only two people left in the room.
Shang Ji still had some coldness from rushing back, so he didn't dare to get too close for fear of disturbing Du Jingyi.
"Thank you for your hard work. I wasn't here yesterday. If I were here..."
"If you were here, could you still give birth for me?"
Du Jingyi said this jokingly, which immediately dispelled Shang Ji's rising guilt, and then he replied.
"I can't give birth to a child for you, but I can give that kid a few spankings to vent your anger. Let him make you feel the pain!"
"What are you talking about, General? How old is our son? Do you want to take it out on him?"
When Shang Ji heard that it was a son, he was not surprised.
Maybe from the beginning he didn't care about gender, as long as they were healthy.
So he rubbed his hands hard to warm them up before pulling Du Jingyi's hand and speaking.
"As long as you are all well, I will be relieved."
Du Jingyi was in real pain last night, but now it's over and seems to have eased a lot, so when he heard these words, he was still very moved.
"The child should be next door, being taken care of by his mother and wet nurse. General, go check on him. He has never seen his father since he was born."
When the word "father" was mentioned, Shang Ji's heart still skipped a beat.
Although he had known that he was going to be a father, he still felt a little nervous when he actually met the child.
I don’t know who the child will look like, how to hold him, or what he will be like.
"No hurry, I'll keep you company first, that kid has plenty of company anyway."
Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled.
Indeed, everyone has been looking forward to this child for a long time, so naturally they would be more concerned. Although Du Jingyi felt a little jealous, Shang Ji's affirmative response still gave her great comfort.
So I didn’t worry about these things anymore.
Cherry took a look outside and saw that her young mistress and the general were talking animatedly, so she did not disturb them and left the room.
When he turned around, he happened to see Luo Yuan walking in. He was covered in dust and it was obvious that he had just returned from a long journey. So he spoke to Luo Yuan with the basin of hot water in his hand.
"If Deputy General Luo doesn't mind, you can wash up."
When Luo Yuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly agreed and followed Yingtao to the ear room next door, then started to wash up.
Cherry put away the clean handkerchief and scented soap and left without saying much to Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan was also a little surprised. Why was this girl, who usually treated him like a nobody, so considerate today?
However, he soon realized that the so-called consideration was only a momentary thing. When he came out, Cherry was long gone.
Seeing that the sky was gradually getting brighter, he stretched lazily.
"I guess the general won't look for me anymore, so I should go get some sleep."
They all woke up from their sleep and started running wildly all night. Who wouldn’t be tired?
So he took the brothers outside to the guard post in the west wing to rest.
Inside the room, I don't know how long the two of them talked before they fell into a deep sleep again, holding hands. People couldn't bear to wake them up.
Until the kid next door started crying because he was hungry.
Although the crying sound was not strong enough to penetrate a wall, it was very sensitive to people like Shang Ji who were engaged in military operations.
As soon as he moved, Du Jingyi also woke up in shock.
The couple were a little anxious when they heard the baby crying, and Shang Ji comforted Du Jingyi and said.
"I'll go take a look, you take a rest."
Du Jingyi's body requires him to lie down for at least three or two days before considering whether to get out of bed, so it is not a good time for him to walk around casually.
Shang Ji got up and went out. When he went to the next door, he saw Madam Du and the wet nurse changing the baby's clothes. Looking at the black cloth strips, Shang Ji's first reaction was that they were a bit dirty...
When Mrs. Du saw him come in, she was a little shocked, but she spoke quickly.
"Is the General back?"
"The son-in-law has met his mother-in-law."
"Hurry, hurry, clean up my brother and bring him to the general."
"Yes, madam."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The wet nurse's surname was Fu. From her appearance, one could tell that she was both well-behaved and respectable. She was also very skillful and in no time at all changed the baby's clothes and washed them. She then wrapped the baby in a quilt and handed it to Mrs. Du.
Mrs. Du also had a smile on her face as she spoke to Shang Ji.
"General, please take a look at this boy. He is such a good kid. He sleeps when he is full and eats when he wakes up. He can eat and poop at the same time. He will surely be in good health in the future!"
Mrs. Du's compliment really overwhelmed Shang Ji.
However, you can't just praise a baby in swaddling clothes for his intelligence and good looks, that would be too fake, so Mrs. Du's praise for the baby's ability to eat, sleep and poop seems to be the most correct.
The child was wrapped in a brocade quilt and was held in Shang Ji's arms.
His little face was still red, and his facial features had not yet fully developed and were a bit wrinkled. He didn't cry or make a fuss, but just twisted his body from side to side, and his little mouth would make a clicking sound from time to time.
"What's wrong with him? Is he feeling unwell?"
Mrs. Du and wet nurse Fu were both experienced. They knew the child was hungry, so they smiled and took over.
"General, you look exhausted. Why don't you go wash up first? I'll bring the baby over to you and Tangtang after the nurse feeds him."
Hearing this, Shang Ji nodded, then let Mrs. Du "take the child away" from his arms without moving, and then turned and left.
She left in a decisive and quick manner. Mrs. Du smiled and then handed the child to the wet nurse.
When the child gets to the source of the sweetness, he starts to eat it voraciously.
Wet nurse Fu looked at the child in her arms with a loving face and said.
"Young Master is a real eater. I have to eat more too."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Du immediately expressed her opinion.
"Don't worry, I've asked the kitchen to prepare your food. You can eat it whenever you want."
Then he poured her a cup of hot water and placed it next to her, saying with a faint smile.
"If you feel thirsty, tell me and I'll give you some to drink."
Mrs. Du's performance made Fu a little flattered. Although it was her first time to be a wet nurse in the master's family, she knew that the master was nice to them only because he hoped that their milk would be good, and he was not really nice to them as a person.
But since the child was born, Mrs. Du has been taking care of the child together with her, and has not behaved in a domineering manner just because she is the hostess of the household.
