"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, congratulations, Lord Marquis, on the birth of a daughter!"
The midwife opened the curtain and came out of the room, trying to sound cheerful, but she didn't dare to look at Li Mu for fear that Li Mu would lose his temper. Who doesn't want a son? Although it is not the midwife's decision to have a boy or a girl, there is always a possibility.
Those rich and powerful men with perverse tempers rely on midwives when they cannot give birth to children. They say that there is something wrong with the midwife's delivery, either because of the incompatibility of the horoscopes or the wrong techniques. If they can't get the rewards, it would be nice if they don't get slapped a few times.
.
"daughter?"
She really gave birth! Li Mu was a little confused for a moment, his eyes went straight. Jin Chen and the midwife both thought that they had not given birth to a son and were stimulated. Jin Chen held Li Mu's hand tightly and was about to say comfort when he suddenly saw that Li Mu seemed to be
As if he had come to life, ecstasy appeared on his face and he let out a wolf howl.
"I have a daughter!" Li Mu shouted while pulling his neck. Zhang Tianai, Li Tai and others who were running towards the backyard heard the howl and looked at each other in surprise. Didn't they say they had just given birth? How did they know it?
Is it a daughter?
"Qiaoqiao, did you hear that? We have a daughter!" Li Mu shouted into the room, but failed to get the same excited response. There were faint sounds of crying in the room. Li Mu immediately panicked and shouted: "Qiaoqiao,
Why are you crying? It hurts?"
Li Mu grabbed the midwife and asked, "Why is my wife crying?"
"Uh-" Now it was the midwife's turn to be confused. She originally thought that Li Mu would be unhappy because his wife had given birth to a daughter, but looking at his attitude, it seemed that giving birth to a daughter was his wish. Seeing that Li Mu was so happy,
It's hard for her to point it out. Mr. Hou, your wife is crying because she didn't give birth to a son, right? The midwife kept silent for a while, and Li Mu suddenly became anxious. He pushed the midwife away and rushed into the house.
"Qiaoqiao, I'm here! Don't cry!"
Li Mu was about to enter the house when suddenly there was a shrill cry. Li Mu's heart skipped a beat and he called out Qiao Qiao's name. He couldn't care less and rushed in.
"Master Marquis, get out quickly!" Another midwife's voice came from inside: "Madam hasn't finished giving birth yet, there is another one!"
"What?" Li Mu stretched his neck to look inside, but couldn't see anything. Several midwives used quilts to surround something like a tent, trapping Qiaoqiao's body inside, with only her mouth and nose exposed.
There is a small bundle next to it. I can’t see what’s inside, but I can imagine that it must be the newborn baby.
Seeing that Bai Qiaoqiao looked in great pain, Li Mu was so anxious that his heart almost burst out of his chest: "What's going on? Isn't it that they've both given birth? What do you mean there's another one!"
"There's just one more!" Several midwives pushed Li Mu out and shouted outside: "Hand towel, hot water, prepare another one, hurry!"
The midwives who were idle outside quickly moved into action. No one cared about what Li Mu was doing. Li Mu and Jin Chen were squeezed out of the door by the midwives. Li Mu lay on the window and looked inside.
I couldn't see anything, and I was so anxious that I murmured: "Isn't the birth over? What's going on? Why is it so troublesome?"
At this moment, Zhang Tianai rushed over and was about to rush in, but was grabbed by Jin Chen. Li Tai, Li Siwen and others were all piled at the door of the backyard. They were all grown men, and it was not convenient to enter the backyard at this time.
.But I couldn’t suppress my curiosity and asked the midwives and maids who came and went: "Is the baby born? What happened? What happened..."
Li Mu also wanted to know what was going on. At this moment, he was confused. He was no different from a fool. There was no dignity like a marquis. When he saw someone coming out, he grabbed him and asked, "What's going on? Another one?"
Is she not giving birth yet? She gave birth very quickly just now, why did it take so long?"
He hurriedly prepared the second thing. The midwives were all busy. At first they could reply a few words to him, but then they were too busy and ignored him. Li Mu wanted to rush in and take a look, but his only sense told him,
This was not the time to show off his authority. Even if he didn't trust the midwives of this era very much, now that he had delivered half of the babies, he could only choose to trust them.
I don’t know whether the first child was born too smoothly or the second child was born too poorly. It took three hours. It was already dark, and torches were lit in the front and back yards of the Hou Mansion.
, the yard was as bright as day. At this time, it had exceeded the normal time to give birth to a child. Bai Qiaoqiao's shouts became weaker and weaker, with only a few low sounds occasionally.
The people waiting outside the door did not dare to express their anger. The expression on Li Mu's face had changed from anxious to dull. His mind was now full of the vulgar plots in the TV series he had watched in his previous life, and he was afraid that a midwife would come out and ask.
Is he keeping the elder or the younger?
"I have to protect——"
Li Mu murmured, and he didn't know if he was talking to himself or to someone else. It was as if there was a real voice asking him in his ears. They came to him from all directions, one after another. Li Mu's voice murmured to himself.
It got louder and louder. He raised his head and suddenly shouted: "I want my wife and children. I said, I want them all!"
"Gah——"
As if he was frightened by Li Mu, a huge cry came out, and a midwife rushed out, her face full of old folds seemed to be smiling: "Congratulations, Mr. Hou, congratulations, Mr. Hou."
, he is a young master, weighing six pounds and seven taels!"
Li Mu grabbed the midwife, looked into her eyes and asked: "How is Madam?"
The midwife hurriedly said: "Madam was overworked and fell asleep. It's nothing serious."
"Great!" Li Mu murmured, and suddenly his vision became blurry. He raised his hand to touch it, and then realized that he had burst into tears at some point. Li Mu wiped it and turned around: "Thank you.
!Everyone who participated in the delivery today will be rewarded with a gold ingot! Everyone has worked hard, hard work——"
Li Mu thanked him for his hard work and walked in. The midwife didn't stop her this time. The baby was already delivered, and there were only some finishing touches left. The people inside would naturally take care of it. It didn't matter if outsiders came in at this moment.
Okay. Marquis Gang has said that he will give a reward of gold ingots. Everyone knows about ingots. There is a place called a bank in Chang'an, where you can exchange loose silver or copper coins for ingots. Some are five taels, and some are ten taels. But
These are all silver ingots, no one has ever seen gold ingots.
I don’t know whether the ingots given by the Marquis are five taels per piece or twelve taels per piece. It would be great if they were twelve taels per piece. How much does ten taels of gold cost? It’s enough to buy a big house!
The midwives in the room packed their things and came out one after another. Li Mu finally entered the back room and saw his wife and child. There was still one midwife left to look after the child. Seeing Li Mu come in, she hurriedly saluted and wanted to hold the newborn young master.
Come and show it to Li Mu.
But Li Mu didn't glance at the child. The few hours he waited outside the door made him understand one thing.
He is so fragile.
The first child was easy to give birth to, which made him think that giving birth was not as difficult as he imagined. But the second child was so difficult to give birth to, which made him afraid. This was the early Tang Dynasty. It was not the era before he time traveled, and there were almost no
Emergency measures. The child is born, if something unexpected happens——
Li Mu didn't know if he had the courage to face it. At that moment, he suddenly regretted it. What's the use of having a child if Qiao Qiao's life is lost?
Seeing Li Mu's appearance, Zhang Tianai and Jin Chen, who entered the room later, felt very comforted in their hearts. Although there was nothing wrong with Li Mu taking care of the children first. But as women, they still hoped that Li Mu would care about more people giving birth to children.
At least this means that he does not regard women as tools for procreation, and he does not see the wrong person.
Jin Chen took over the eldest young master of the Li family from the midwife. Zhang Tianai was a step too late and moved closer to the eldest daughter to take a look. The girl was more worry-free than the boy and slept soundly. But just like this, Zhang Tianai was a little worried.
She specifically glanced at the one in Jin Chen's arms and thought to herself, Qiao Qiao gave birth to such a good-looking child, and the husband was not ugly, so how could the child be so ugly? Like a potato cooked with the skin on, so ugly
Can a husband like children? If not, Qiaoqiao should be sad.
But the words were in her heart, and she didn't dare to say them out. She leaned against the wall and looked at Qiaoqiao sleeping soundly, and became worried.
As if she had something in her heart, Li Mu didn't wait long by the bed before Bai Qiaoqiao woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw Li Mu beside her, Bai Qiaoqiao smiled. Li Mu's nose became sore and tears fell down again. Bai Qiaoqiao
Wiping it away for him, her voice was a little weak: "Husband, you cried just now, right? Your eyes are so red? Why are you crying? We have a child, aren't you happy?"
"I'm happy," Li Mu resisted, wanting to hug Bai Qiaoqiao, but he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help it, so he had to hold her hand tightly: "I'm even more afraid that something will happen to you."
"Silly husband," Bai Qiaoqiao felt relieved when she saw Li Mu being so nervous about herself. Her heart seemed to melt. She had suffered so much just now and didn't feel anything. "Which woman didn't come here like this?
What happened-"
She grabbed Li Mu's arm and tried to lend strength. Li Mu quickly helped her up: "...I want to see our child,"
"Here it is!" Jin Chen quickly brought the eldest son of the Li family over, and Zhang Tianai also brought the baby girl over. Only then did Li Mu see his own pair of children. Although he had been mentally prepared and knew that the newborn children were not good-looking, he still couldn't.
I didn’t expect it to be so ugly. What the hell are these two, ET aliens?
The TV series really kills people, but that’s not how it’s done in the show!
Bai Qiaoqiao saw Li Mu's expression and said angrily: "Mother Jin told me that all newborn babies are like this and will be fine in a few days. Husband, do you dislike our child?"
"How could that happen?" Li Mu quickly denied: "I'm a little nervous, after all, it's my first time to be a father, and I'm not familiar with him when we meet him for the first time."
On the other side, Zhang Tianai also let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the child has not always been so ugly, and his worries should be unnecessary. But when he thinks that the child he will give birth to one day will be so ugly, he feels uncomfortable. He must
Did you start out so ugly? Can't you be beautiful when you're born? Even if you have a few more days of pregnancy, that's fine.
No matter what others think, in the eyes of a mother, her children are not ugly at all. Bai Qiaoqiao looked at the two children she had put in so much effort to give birth to, her face was full of maternal glory, and she stretched out her arms.
He took action and wanted to touch the child's little face, but he seemed to be afraid that the touch would hurt, so he stopped when he was about to touch it. In the end, he just touched it lightly. As if he felt something in his heart, Li Mu was beside the bed.
Bai Qiaoqiao woke up after not waiting for long. When she opened her eyes and saw Li Mu beside her, Bai Qiaoqiao smiled. Li Mu's nose was sore and tears fell down again. Bai Qiaoqiao wiped them away for him, her voice was a little weak: "
