Chapter 319: Twins Safely Landed
As soon as Ye Chutang said this, everyone in the kitchen panicked.
Qi Yanzhou, in particular, was at a loss as to what to do.
"Atang, how should I send you back? Should I carry you or hold you in my arms?"
Madam Qi hurriedly shouted outside, "Midwife, quickly take the midwife to Tangzhou Courtyard."
After that, she ordered, "Go and prepare hot water, scissors, and...what else?"
"Ginseng slices, production is a physical job, you need to replenish your energy."
These words were said by Ye Chutang.
She has calmed down.
"Azhou, carry me back to Tangzhou Courtyard. Be careful not to press on my stomach."
In fact, it would be better to lift it back using the door panel.
But the corridors in ancient times were too narrow and difficult to operate.
After Qi Yanzhou responded, he immediately picked up Ye Chutang and strode towards Tangzhou Courtyard.
"Dad, you stay and entertain the guests."
Mr. Qi, who was about to follow, stopped immediately.
"Okay, if the child is born, come and report it immediately."
"knew."
Song Jingning looked at Ye Chutang being carried away by Qi Yanzhou, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.
He really wanted to follow, but it was not convenient for outsiders to enter the inner house.
I can only comfort myself, "Mrs. Qi always does good deeds, and the mother and child will be safe."
Sun Chu nodded affirmatively and said firmly: "Of course."
But his tightly clenched hands betrayed his uneasiness.
In ancient times, giving birth for a woman was like entering the gates of hell.
How many people are unable to bring their children back from the gates of hell.
The atmosphere in the dining hall became tense.
The old ancestor stood up and said, "Let's go to the main hall and wait for news."
She didn't like Ye Chutang who disobeyed her in every way and didn't care about her life or death.
The people in the second house had the same idea and followed the ancestor to the main hall.
Mr. Qi thought that the kitchen was not suitable for entertaining guests, so he asked the people from the main room and the guests to go to the main hall.
When they arrived at the main hall, the second room was already playing mahjong.
Seeing that his eldest son looked unhappy, the old ancestor explained, "Sitting there will only make you anxious and useless. Find something to kill time, and it will pass faster."
Song Jingning suppressed his anger and nodded in agreement.
"What our ancestors said is true. I wonder if I can play with you?"
The old ancestor knew that the Song family was the leader of the literati, so he smiled and replied, "Of course you can."
After saying that, she asked the man from the second room to play with Song Jingning.
Sun Chu didn't understand Song Jingning's intention at first until he watched him play two rounds.
He quickly said, "I want to play too. Can I join the women's table?"
This request was somewhat unreasonable, but since he was wealthy enough to rival a country and the second branch wanted to make friends with him, he did not refuse.
Then……
Sun Chu and Song Jingning were in great form and won every time.
The six people from the second room who played with him were so embarrassed that they lost.

Tangzhou Courtyard.
Ye Chutang lay on the delivery bed in the side room, enduring the pain caused by contractions.
Two experienced midwives have arrived.
Let Ye Chutang breathe in and out according to their rhythm.
"Don't worry, Madam Qi. We are here to keep you and your child safe."
Of course they dare not guarantee it.
This is just an auspicious phrase for midwives, said intentionally to the mother in labor.
So that the mother can relax and give birth with all her efforts.
Ye Chutang took a deep breath and touched his stomach.
She felt relieved after confirming that the fetal position was correct.
As her cervix opened, the contractions became more frequent. She was in so much pain that she broke out in sweat and her clothes were soaked.
Qi Yanzhou was outside the house and didn't hear any sound, so he was very anxious.
"Mom, why is there no movement?"
Old Madam Qi wasn't sure either. She remembered that she screamed miserably when she gave birth.
"Mom, go in and take a look."
As soon as she finished speaking, the cry of a newborn baby was heard from the side room.
The midwife shouted loudly: "Madam has given birth to a son, safe and healthy!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was another louder cry.
"My wife gave birth to a daughter, and all three of us are safe!"
Madam Qi was extremely happy. "It's good that they are safe. Shan'er, go to the front yard and inform everyone that mother and child are safe."
"Yes, ma'am."
After Shan'er left, Qi Yanzhou was about to enter the room but was stopped by Old Madam Qi.
"Zhou'er, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to go see Atang and the child."
"No, the delivery room is bloody and filthy, you can't go in there."
Qi Yanzhou did not believe the rumor that entering the delivery room would make men unfortunate.
"Mom, there are three people in this room that I cherish the most. If it weren't for Atang, I would have died long ago."
After saying this, he ignored Madam Qi's dissuasion and went into the side room.
Because the windows were closed, the side room was stuffy and hot, and coupled with the smell of blood and sweat, it really smelled bad.
But Qi Yanzhou didn't dislike her at all. Instead, he felt very sorry for Ye Chutang.
When the midwife noticed him coming in, she was about to kick him out, but she was intimidated by his fierce look and immediately changed her words.
"Master, please take a look at these two children. They are fair and tender. They will surely be handsome and beautiful when they grow up."
They didn’t know how many babies they had delivered, but this was the first time they saw a newborn baby so beautiful.
They are usually red, wrinkled, and ugly in every way.
Qi Yanzhou just glanced at the child and came to Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang's hair was wet with sweat, and he was breathing heavily, but he looked pretty good.
He squatted down and held Ye Chutang's sweaty hand.
"Atang, you've worked hard. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Ye Chutang shook his head, "I'm fine, is the child okay?"
She didn't expect that having a child would be so easy after being blessed by the witch doctor.
It took less than fifteen minutes from the time the amniotic fluid broke to the birth of the baby.
Only the contractions made her feel uncomfortable for a while, but after her cervix opened, the birth was as smooth as going to the toilet.
Qi Yanzhou immediately asked the midwife to bring the two children to Ye Chutang.
"The child is fine and very cute."
Because they were twins and were born half a month premature, the babies weighed a little over three pounds, very small.
Ye Chutang reached out and touched the child's smooth face, with the corners of his mouth rising.
"The child I gave birth to is indeed adorable."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a warm current flowing from her body.
It is postpartum lochia.
"Aunt Jin..."
Ye Chutang originally wanted Jinzhi to help her deal with it, but when the words came to her lips, someone else changed his mind.
"Midwife, please teach my husband how to deal with lochia."
Postpartum is the time when you can see a man’s true nature.
Jinzhi and the midwife both widened their eyes and said in unison.
“No!”
Ye Chutang raised an eyebrow, "Why not? Because men are superior to women?"
She couldn't control others, nor did she want to, but her husband couldn't think that way.
Jinzhi had a miscarriage before, and she knew that women in the confinement period had many physical problems that were difficult to talk about.
She didn't want Qi Yanzhou to dislike Ye Chutang after meeting her.
"Miss, let me do it. Men are not as careful as women."
The two midwives nodded repeatedly.
"Madam, what the nanny said is right. Moreover, since ancient times, it has never been reasonable for men to serve women."
Qi Yanzhou didn't know what lochia was.
But judging from the reactions of several people, it may not be easy to deal with.
But no matter how difficult it is, it must be easier than giving birth to a child.
He held Ye Chutang's hand tighter and said, "The ancients' principles have nothing to do with me. Tell me, how should I deal with this?"
Jinzhi and the midwife looked embarrassed and didn't know how to start the conversation.
Ye Chutang is a doctor, so he naturally knows how to deal with it.
She looked at the midwife and said, "Go out and keep your mouths shut. Don't say anything you shouldn't say, or you will bring disaster upon your clan."
The midwife nodded repeatedly, "We are only here to help Madam give birth, we know nothing else."
After saying that, the two men handed the child to Jinzhi and quickly left the side room.
"Auntie Jin, take the child to the main hall and show him to everyone, then hand him over to the nurse. Make sure he is well protected from the cold."
Feeding two kids by myself is hard.
Especially in the first three months, I was on call almost all day, and I couldn't eat or sleep well.
Ye Chutang then found two wet nurses to feed the child.
This way, she only needs to entertain the child a little every day.
Jinzhi looked at Ye Chutang hesitantly, and finally nodded.
"Yes, miss."
Then she left with the two children in her arms.
Ye Chutang asked Qi Yanzhou to open the window a little to facilitate air circulation.
Then teach him how to deal with various problems faced by pregnant women.
Qi Yanzhou showed no impatience nor any disgust.
Seeing Ye Chutang crying in pain from the squeezing of her stomach and the discharge of lochia, his eyes also became red.
"Atang, we already have a son and a daughter, so we don't want any more children in the future, okay?"
Ye Chutang was moved when she heard the man's slightly hoarse voice.
"Why, are you scared? Do you dislike me?"
Qi Yanzhou shook his head and lowered his head to rest his forehead against Ye Chutang's.
"I feel sorry for you."
After saying that, he kissed Ye Chutang on the face.
"This time, thanks to the witch doctor's blessing, the delivery went more smoothly, but your body is still damaged, and I don't want to cause you any more pain."
Ye Chutang never thought about having more children. One son and one daughter were enough.
She raised her head and kissed Qi Yanzhou's thin lips.
"I'll listen to you. I won't give birth. I feel sticky and uncomfortable. Please help me wipe it off."
"good."
Qi Yanzhou used hot water to clean Ye Chutang's body and changed her clothes.
Although the two had always slept in the same bed, they had rarely been candid with each other.
The intimacy just now made his cheeks hot and he didn't know where to look.
"Okay, do you want to get up?"
Ye Chutang touched his sweat-soaked hair and said, "Wash my hair again."
Qi Yanzhou had done some research and quickly objected.
"Atang, you can't wash your hair during the confinement period, or you will have a headache later."
"You are wrong. It's not that you can't wash your hair, but you can't use cold water or cold air. There is a fire dragon burning in the room, so the temperature is suitable. It's okay to wash your hair. After washing, use your inner force to help me dry it, and you won't have a headache."
"Okay, I'll ask them to bring in some hot water."
When Ye Chutang finished washing his hair, he felt refreshed all of a sudden.
Because it was a normal birth and it went smoothly, she put on her clothes and got out of bed directly.
Qi Yanzhou was terrified, "Atang, you just gave birth to a child, you need to rest more and can't go out."
"It is necessary for the mother to exercise properly so that the impurities in the body can be eliminated more quickly."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he put on the hat he had prepared long ago and left the side room.
The two children were sent to the side room and looked after by a wet nurse.
The women of the Qi family were all waiting in the main hall, waiting to congratulate Ye Chutang.
When Madam Qi saw Ye Chutang coming out, she hurried forward, held her hand and patted it gently.
"Tang'er, thank you for your hard work. In the next month, you should rest well and don't overwork yourself, otherwise you will easily get postpartum illness."
After saying that, she looked at Qi Yanzhou.
"Zhou'er, put the ninth day banquet on hold for now, and hold the full moon banquet directly one month later."
Qi Yanzhou thought so too and nodded.
"Okay, I'll let my uncle know later."
Ye Chutang looked at the Qi family members who were concerned about her and said, "Mom, I don't have anything to do here. Today is New Year's Eve, you all should go and stay up until the New Year."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shan'er came back from the front yard.
"Miss, Master Sun and Master Song want to see the child."
Qi Yanzhou guessed that Song Jingning wanted to see the child and also wanted to confirm whether Ye Chutang was safe.
He said, "Please ask them to come to the inner courtyard."
Madam Qi quickly glanced at her son and said, "It's inappropriate for a man from outside to enter the inner courtyard, isn't it?"
"Mom, they are not outsiders, it's okay."
Shan'er didn't move, waiting for Ye Chutang's order.
"Go ahead, let them come."
"Yes, miss."
After Shan'er left, Ye Chutang went to the room where the child was.
Madam Qi thought that they had already seen the child, so she took the women back to the front yard.
Qi Yanzhou did not go to the wing room, but went to the study.
He crumpled the names he had written long ago into a ball and gave them to the children to choose from.
The two children had already finished their feeding and were looking at Ye Chutang who was teasing them with their eyes open.
The pink little hands are waving, so cute and adorable.
Qi Yanzhou handed the paper ball to Ye Chutang and asked, "How is the child going to choose his own name when he is so young?"
Ye Chutang took the paper ball and said with a smile, "It's simple. Put the paper ball in their palms. If they squeeze it tightly, they will be chosen."
"What if the names they choose are not a match?"
"Then respect their choice and use whatever they choose."
"OK."
As soon as Qi Yanzhou agreed, Sun Chu and Song Jingning arrived.
Song Jingning handed the red envelope that had not been sent out to Ye Chutang.
"Now, this red envelope has been sent legitimately. Please accept it on behalf of the two children, Madam Qi."
Ye Chutang did not refuse. After accepting the red envelope, he gave the paper ball in his hand to Song Jingning.
"Mr. Song is very knowledgeable. Let my child have some of your talent. You can choose the name."
She told Song Jingning how to help her child choose a name.
Song Jingning squeezed the paper ball in his palm and asked, "Does a newborn baby have the strength to hold a paper ball?"
"Mr. Song, you will know if you try it."
Song Jingning came to the twins, looked at the two little ones, and did not dare to reach out to touch them for fear of hurting them.
"What a good-looking guy, boy or girl?"
Qi Yanzhou looked at the two children and said with a smile, "We have both a son and a daughter."
"Good!"
After saying that, he took out a ball of paper and tried to stuff it into the child's waving hands, but he didn't dare to force it and felt a little helpless.
Ye Chutang looked at Song Jingning, whose forehead was sweating, and said with a smile: "Hold the child's arm and put the paper ball in his palm. If they don't choose, then please ask Mr. Song to give a name."
Song Jingning nodded, gently held the boy's soft arm, and quickly stuffed a ball of paper into his palm.
The boy's fingers didn't tighten and the paper ball fell.
It was not until the fourth piece of paper was stuffed into his hand that he held the ball of paper in his palm.
Ye Chutang quickly took the paper ball, opened it and took a look.
Jing Huai, Jing Xi.
"This name is really meant to be with Master Song."
When she heard Qi Yanzhou's naming, she liked this pair.
The original owner only had Song Jingning as a relative, and the child’s name had the same character as his, which made them seem closer.
Song Jingning looked at the name on the paper, his heart beating fast.
It was even more exciting than when I first met Ye Chutang.
"It is indeed fate, but I wonder which one the other child will choose?"
After saying that, he took the note from Ye Chutang's hand, crumpled it into a ball, and placed it directly in the palm of the girl's hand.
