Although the situation in the capital was tense, it was not a big deal. At most, with the appearance of the second prince, the factional competition among the princes began. If it were other princes, they might not be able to compete with the eldest prince, after all, the Ren family was very powerful. But the prince from the Shen family was different, after all, there was the relationship with Empress Yuan.
However, because of this incident, Du Ke also returned to the capital, and the imperial grain franchise plan sent another person over.
At this time, Du Ke and Mr. Du were playing chess. It seemed like playing chess, but in fact they were analyzing the situation of the dynasty.
Grandpa Du: "What do you think about this?"
Du Ke said: "It doesn't matter what I think, I won't survive the end anyway. So, father, don't worry about it."
Grandpa Du couldn't help laughing: "That's true." They are older than the emperor, so the dispute over the crown prince is really none of their business. Basically, even if they are gone, the emperor will still be there. As long as the emperor is still there, they will be staunch royalists, so they won't be able to see who will become the crown prince in the end. However: "The emperor gave the second prince a title with great fanfare this time, and it seems that he values the second prince very much. The emperor has a deep love for Empress Yuan. If this love extends to the whole family, it may not be good news for the eldest prince."
Du Ke: "The capital has just been quiet for a short time, and it is going to be lively again. It is better for Qin Fang to hide in Yunxiang County, so that he cannot be involved in the capital."
Old Master Du: "That may not be the case. He has gunpowder in his hands. It depends on how the emperor arranges him. What do you think if he is transferred to the capital, Which position will he be assigned to? By the end of next year, his three-year term will be up. By then, with his achievements, he will definitely be transferred to the capital, unless the emperor has other arrangements. "
Yes, local officials are transferred every three years, unlike officials in the capital. So, from March last year to the end of next year, Qin Fang's three-year term will really be up. Thinking of this, Du Ke frowned. If Qin Fang was transferred to the capital, which position would be suitable for him?
Grandpa Du: "Have you thought about it?"
Du Ke: "Qin Fang is now a fifth-rank military general. If he is moved, it is impossible for him to be transferred to the capital with his achievements. If he is transferred, he can only be the Beijing Suburban Command Camp, the Five Cities Military Department, or he can be promoted. Among the military generals in the capital, those who can be ranked from the fourth rank and above and have real power... He may come to the Ministry of War or enter the palace. The emperor trusts Qin Fang very much, and it seems that he trusts him more than me as a teacher."
Grandpa Du said: "I said that Qin Fang is a lucky man." And no one would dislike a lucky person.
Du Ke did not respond.
No matter what the situation in the capital is, it will not extend to Yunxiang County for the time being.
The people in the general's mansion have been particularly nervous recently because their wives are about to give birth. From servants to masters, no one was not nervous. Many people were grateful for the Qin family's kindness and hoped that Yang Haiyan would give birth to a son this time. Not to mention others, even Nanny Lian hoped so. No matter
how generous a family is to their daughter, they still hope that the first child is a boy. This is a deep-rooted idea of the ancients that no one can change. There are not many people like Qin Fang who think about having a concubine every day. In fact, Qin Fang is not worried about sons and daughters. Anyway, he has four brothers. Even if he doesn't have a son, he still has younger brothers. So in this case, Qin Fang especially wants a concubine.
Qin's mother didn't go to the Imperial Grain Factory these days. The factory's affairs were handed over to Qin's father. Qin's mother stayed at home every day in case she was not there when her daughter-in-law gave birth. She was also worried that her daughter-in-law would have an accident. Not to mention Qin's mother, even Qin Fang didn't go to the barracks these days. He was also worried that he would not be there when his daughter-in-law gave birth. He wanted to be the first person to see the girl. He also hoped that he would be the first person the girl saw when she opened her eyes.
But Qin Fang didn't know, how could a newborn baby open his eyes to look at people?
Yang Haiyan's fetal movement was at night. After dinner that day, the couple disappeared for a walk as usual. While walking, Yang Haiyan suddenly felt a stomachache. She took a breath and said, "Qin Fang... Qin Fang, I may be about to give birth." She only called Qin Fang's name when she was nervous or angry. She usually called him husband.
Qin Fang picked her up and said nervously, "Come on, call Granny Wen and Miss Li quickly. Madam is about to give birth." Granny Wen had been invited a long time ago and had been living in the general's mansion for the past few days. But Granny Wen didn't know medicine, so Yang Haiyan invited Miss Li to help. Not only Miss Li, but also Doctor Li would be waiting outside the house.
When Qin Fang carried Yang Haiyan into the house, he let people go, and Granny Wen and Miss Li arrived. They invited the best madam in the whole county, and they invited two of them, fearing that one of them might get into trouble.
Miss Li and the madam were in the yard together, and Qin Fang said, "Come quickly." Not only did the madam and Miss Li come, but also the Qin family members came one after another.
The madam and Miss Li came into the house, Miss Li took the pulse, and the madam checked Yang Haiyan's condition. Then the old woman said, "General, the wife hasn't given birth yet. It will take a while. Why don't you wait outside?"
Qin Fang said, "No, I'll wait here. You don't have to worry about me."
The old woman said, "But..." The old woman looked at Yang Haiyan, "Madam, it's not suitable for men to be inside when a woman is giving birth. What do you think?"
Another old woman said, "That's right. If a man is in the house while a woman is giving birth, it will ruin his luck."
Qin Fang said, "Shut up. Don't tell the lady these things. Just do your own job." He, a man who came out of the battlefield, never believed these things. If seeing blood would ruin his luck and bring bad luck, then he had killed more than one enemy before. After instructing the mother-in-law, Qin Fang said to Yang Haiyan, "Yan Yan, don't listen to them, don't be afraid, I will be with you."
Yang Haiyan naturally didn't believe what the mother-in-law said. Nowadays, husbands accompany their wives during childbirth. Besides, she also wanted Qin Fang to accompany her. Men should know that women are having a hard time giving birth. She smiled weakly: "With my husband here, I have motivation. I believe in my husband. As long as my husband is here, I am not afraid of anything." She didn't say anything to ask Qin Fang to stay, but only said that he was her motivation.
Sure enough, hearing his wife say this, Qin Fang didn't want to leave the house even more.
The mother-in-law was an ordinary citizen, and General Qin couldn't tell anyone, so they naturally didn't say anything else. Miss Li is a doctor, and she doesn't have the same ideas as a mother-in-law. She thinks that the general can accompany the lady when she gives birth, and the relationship between them is enviable.
Grandma Qin and Qin's mother were waiting outside the house, and Grandpa Qin was waiting outside the yard. This is the inner courtyard, so he didn't come in. Not only did he not come in, but Doctor Li was waiting with him, but Doctor Li would only go in when he was needed.
Doctor Li saw Grandpa Qin walking around, and he comforted him: "Don't be nervous, old man, I check the lady's pulse every month. The lady is healthy, and the fetus is also healthy, so the lady will definitely be safe this time." Unless there is an accident.
Grandpa Qin hummed. He was an experienced person. Grandma Qin had given birth to so many children. He was nervous but got used to it. But after getting used to it, he was also nervous when Mother Qin gave birth, because Mother Qin gave birth to the eldest grandson, which had a different meaning for the Qin family. As for the birth of grandchildren later, he was very calm.
But this time was different. This time, his granddaughter-in-law gave birth to the eldest great-grandson, the first of the great-grandsons, and he started to get nervous again.
Mother Qin was outside and hadn't seen Qin Fang come out. She couldn't help but ask, "A Fang, how is your wife?"
Qin Fang said in the house, "
She's still waiting. She hasn't given birth yet." Mother Qin: "Then come out quickly. Women are giving birth inside, men can't be inside."
Qin Fang: "I won't come out. I'm with Yanyan. She'll be scared if I come out."
Mother Qin: "..." She thought that with her daughter-in-law's experience, she would definitely not be scared.
Grandma Qin said, "Let him stay inside. He will be scared if he doesn't see Yanyan give birth safely." Their family is not that kind of wealthy family. If the eldest grandson wants to stay in the delivery room, let him stay. Although Grandma Qin also hopes that the eldest grandson will come out, she doesn't care about it because she thinks of what the nun said, that the eldest grandson's wife is a blessed person.
Yang Haiyan's stomach was throbbing with pain, from a little pain to more and more intense pain. Her eyes were red, but she didn't cry. She just asked with a choked voice: "How long will it take for the baby to come out?" This was much more severe than the stomach pain during her period. The old lady
comforted her: "Madam, bear with it, it will be soon..."
Speaking of which, when the stomach hurts, time passes very slowly. There were many times when Yang Haiyan wanted to let herself pass out from the pain, but she couldn't. She was afraid that if she passed out from the pain, she would not have the strength to come out later. So every time she was about to pass out, she would poke herself with her fingernails.
Qin Fang watched, his heart pounding, sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. For some reason, he felt his stomach gradually aching, maybe because he had a bad meal at night. However, he only had a stomachache, and he didn't feel like going to the toilet.
When he was distracted by the stomachache, he heard Yang Haiyan calling him: "Husband... Husband..." Qin
Fang came back to his senses: "Yes, I'm here."
Yang Haiyan said: "Help me get the black food in the box." That was the chocolate she prepared for herself in advance. Women can use chocolate and Red Bull to replenish their physical strength when giving birth. She couldn't take out the Red Bull, but she could take out the chocolate as a pastry.
Of course, some people would prepare eggs, but she couldn't eat dry eggs.
Qin Fang quickly brought the small box over, and then took out the chocolate: "Yan Yan, do you want a snack? I'll feed you." He sat at the head of the bed and fed the chocolate to Yang Haiyan.
Yang Haiyan ate the chocolate, and the bitter taste refreshed her a lot. At this time, the voice of Nanny Lian came from outside: "General, the old servant has cooked eggs for the lady."
