Qingdeng really put a lot of effort into choosing a name.
As a father, he naturally hopes that his child can have a name that is both beautiful and meaningful.
But...he is really not good at naming.
I finally came up with a name that I thought was pretty good, but I always got scolded by my wives...
After a long brainstorming, Qingteng finally made a decision: his son will be called "Tachibana General" and his daughter will be called "Orange Mozi"!
Regarding the name "General", many people think that it is too old-fashioned and sounds like the name of a military commander from the Heian period.
Moreover, this name always makes people think of the "mysterious zombie king general".
As for "Mozi", there's not much to say, it's pretty average.
"Xiko" was a popular girl's name in the Edo period, and it was more common among women of the samurai family, and Sanako fell into this category.
There are three main reasons why Qingdeng fell in love with these two names.
First, the font is beautiful.
Second, the pronunciation is catchy.
Third, it has profound meaning.
"General" means "to lead the ministers", which fits the identity of "the young master of Qinjin Domain".
As for "Mozi", it reminds people of the beautiful jasmine flower, so it is a perfect name for a girl.
The more Qingdeng thought about it, the more he decided that these two names were good, and the more he liked them.
Ever since, when faced with Sanako's immediate inquiry, he loudly shouted, "Yes, it's confirmed!" without thinking.
Of course, another reason why he loves these two names so much is that he is really tired... unable to think of other names.
"General...Mozi...Okay, these names are quite nice. Then follow your wishes and use these names as the names of Jiulang and Ningning."
As soon as she finished speaking, A Wu and the Chief Si next to her both nodded in agreement.
Sanako and others have the same attitude towards these two names: although they are not very good, they are not bad either.
Since Qingdeng likes these two names very much, they are also happy to see it happen.
"Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa! Whoa whoa whoa whoa!"
At this time, Kuro, who had just slept for a short time...that is, the young general woke up again.
As soon as he opened his eyes with his front legs, he started to flutter around with his back legs and cried loudly, looking aggrieved.
Seeing this, Souji quickly and skillfully picked up Kuro again.
"Don't cry~Don't cry~~"
From the way he holds the child to the way he coaxes the child, everything shows the air of a veteran.
Sanako couldn't help but asked:
"Xiao Si, you are so skilled at coaxing children. Have you practiced it before?"
Although Sanako had just complained in an angry tone that Qingtou was unable to hold a child, in fact, as a first-time mother, she was no better than Qingtou when it came to holding and coaxing children.
She was used to wielding the naginata, but had she ever held such a delicate baby?
The general manager smiled:
"Yes!"
"In the past, the wife near my home was busy with work and had no time to take care of her newborn child, so whenever I had free time, I would try my best to help her."
"After going back and forth, I learned a lot of skills in coaxing children."
Souji said as he kept stroking Kuroo's hands.
This little movement of hers seemed to have some magic power.
After a while, Kuro's crying gradually subsided.
As far as Qingdeng knows, this is actually an instinct engraved in human genes.
A long time ago, when humans were still apes that had not yet completed their evolution, they lived a life of fear every day.
Not only do they have to work hard to find food, but they also have to avoid predators.
Whenever she encounters a natural enemy, the mother monkey will carry the baby monkey on her back and run away for her life.
In the process of escaping, his body will naturally shake uncontrollably.
Over time, whenever the body shakes, the baby monkey on the mother's back will get this message: Now is a dangerous time, don't cry! If you continue to cry, the enemy will come!
Those little monkeys that kept making trouble while escaping for their lives basically died due to the cruel natural law of survival of the fittest.
The group of monkeys that survived and eventually successfully evolved have the instinct not to cry when their bodies are jolted.
Qingdeng had always been dubious about this argument before.
Only now, seeing Kuro becoming quieter under Souji's gentle nudge, did he change his mind and began to feel that the argument was not without purpose.
The General Secretary's comforting techniques are not unskilled.
However, no matter how long she was in bed, Jiulang in her arms was always restless.
Even though he stopped crying, he kept making "wow" sounds.
"Xiao Si, what's wrong with Kuro?"
Sanako asked nervously.
Souji, who has a wealth of childcare experience, quickly identified the problem.
"Kuroro, he must be hungry."
As soon as she finished speaking, right away... right away! A Wu on the side said impatiently:
"Are Jiulang hungry? That's just right! Ningning has almost finished drinking the milk. Please bring Jiulang to me quickly!"
Looking up, he saw Ah Wu with her upper body naked, and little Ningning in her arms enjoying a delicious meal.
At this moment, Ning Ning finally had enough to eat and drink.
After stretching her body a little, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into a sweet sleep.
Ah Wu wiped her mouth gently and lovingly, and then gently put her back to her bedside.
Today, A Wu's talent - "milk" - finally comes into play and shows its full potential!
[Note: The RU produced are more juicy and nutritious. However, because Qingden is a male, it does not match this talent, so this talent does not take effect.]
Because it was so long ago, Qingdeng almost forgot that A Wu had such a talent.
When Ah Wu was still a virgin, this talent was of little use and there was no chance to activate it.
But times have changed, and now she is a mother... With the change of identity, the situation of her talent has fundamentally changed in an instant! From a useless garbage talent to a vital god-level talent!
As we all know, not all mothers have strong breastfeeding abilities.
Otherwise, there would be no such profession as "wet nurse".
Although Sanako has the plumpest figure among the three girls, among the many women Qingto knows, the only one who can compete with her in terms of plumpness is Tianzhangin, but her breastfeeding ability is actually average.
Although it's not bad, it's not very good either; although it won't make the baby hungry, it won't make him full. In a word, a wet nurse must be invited to help with breastfeeding - all the above statements are from
From the mouth of Sanako's mother.
Because when she gave birth, she breastfed about the same amount as Sanako. Afterwards, she hired a wet nurse to solve the feeding problem of her children (Chiba Jutaro and Sanako), so she dared to make this conclusion.
Facts have proven that there is no direct relationship between the amount of breastfeeding and body shape or whether you exercise regularly.
Just when Qingdeng was worried about "where to find a wet nurse"... A Wu helped him solve this problem.
When she breastfed Ning Ning for the first time, with the blessing of her natural "milk", she showed a breastfeeding ability that even the midwife could not help but scream out in surprise.
To use an exaggerated but vivid metaphor...the gap between Sanako and Amai is like the gap between a faucet and a fire nozzle.
With Ah Wu here, naturally there is no need for a wet nurse.
This sudden super talent made Ah Wu very excited.
On weekdays, I am always overwhelmed by Sanako, but today, there is finally something stronger than the other!
Ever since, the current scene has emerged - she rushes to breastfeed Jiulang, showing off herself impatiently.
Who wouldn't know her little thoughts?
Qingto and Souji smiled helplessly.
Sanako looked at A Wu with a complicated expression.
Although Ah Wu's success made her very unhappy, she had to admit that she needed the help of this "wet nurse" now.
The Souji was right, Kuro was indeed hungry.
As soon as he was put into Ah Wu's arms, he began to drink "gudong" and "gudong".
Although the baby in her arms is not her biological child, A Wu does not discriminate against him.
She patted Kuro's back and whispered gentle words.
"Don't rush, don't rush~drink slowly~drink more and grow into a strong warrior soon~~"
Looking at Kuro who was sleeping peacefully and Kuro who was feasting, Qingden felt the lines on his face gradually relax, and a calm smile appeared on his cheeks.
There is no normal parent who does not want their children to prosper.
No matter how bad it is, I will still pray that my child will grow up safely and healthily.
No matter which angle you look at it, this pair of his children are starting out badly!
First of all, they have a super awesome dad.
Qingdeng's status and income level ensured the growth environment and educational resources for his children.
Secondly, Awu will provide rich nutrition so that they can spend a healthy and nourishing baby period.
Her gift of "milk" is not only large in quantity, but also contains far more nutrients than ordinary people.
With her as a "super nurse" around, Qingden couldn't even imagine how strong and healthy his child would grow.
Then, as a time traveler, Qingdeng is familiar with a lot of advanced parenting knowledge.
Although he is not a professional nanny, no matter what, the childcare knowledge he is familiar with is always better than the backward ideas of the times.
Due to various reasons such as underdeveloped medicine, poor diet, and absurd parenting concepts, the mortality rate in the Edo period was extremely high, especially among the public and military nobles.
In horizontal comparison, although the Chinese aristocrats of the same period also had an extremely high rate of premature deaths, half of the children in a litter could always survive.
On the other hand, among the public warrior nobles in the Edo period, dozens of children could all die. Even if they adopted children from separate families, they could not keep up with the death rate of infants and young children. This is obviously very abnormal.
A typical example is the 12th shogun Tokugawa Ieyaki, who had 11 boys and 16 girls between his concubine and his wife. As a result, only Tokugawa Ieyada was the only one who successfully grew up.
Even this single seedling finally survived after resorting to the extreme method of "locking the Tokugawa family in O'O, preventing him from getting a cool breeze".
This extreme parenting method ultimately indirectly contributed to Tokugawa Iesada's weak body and morbid mentality.
Why is there such a horrific mortality rate?
There are three reasons that Qingdeng knows.
A toxin inheritance.
Second, the food and water quality is poor.
Three unhealthy lifestyles.
The cosmetics used daily by noble women in the Edo period generally contained excessive amounts of lead.
Over time, it is very easy to die from lead poisoning.
Even if you are not poisoned by luck, the excessive toxins will accumulate in the body, affecting the baby in the womb, and eventually make the child sick from the mother's womb.
Regarding this, Qingden need not worry.
Because Sanako and others are serious martial arts practitioners, they don't have the habit of wearing makeup.
As for the second point, there is no need to go into details. Maybe even the wild dogs on the roadside eat more nutritiously than the nobles.
In addition to food, the lifestyle of the public and military nobles is also full of flaws.
In order to pursue the so-called elegance, he lived in the mansion, recited poems and composed poems, and rarely exercised.
In comparison, children of common people who do not have such conditions to live a "elegant life" are more likely to survive, and their mortality rate is much lower than that of children of aristocrats.
Throughout Japanese history, there are many people who thrived by escaping from the unhealthy aristocratic life - the most representative example of which is undoubtedly Ii Dairo (Ii Naobutsu).
Elder Jingyi was the 14th son in his family. Because he had no chance to inherit the family business, he left home early and lived alone.
In this way, his quality of life skyrocketed. Not only did he not die prematurely, he also developed a strong body and superb sword-drawing skills.
Soon after, all the brothers in front of him died or were adopted by others, so he was a blessing in disguise and became the new head of the family.
Therefore, Qingdeng made up his mind not to let the "elegant" aristocratic life pollute his children!
There is no need to take too much care of them, and letting them live in a slightly rough environment will actually be conducive to their physical and mental growth.
The last and most important factor that contributed to the Tianhu start of his children was Qingdeng's god-level talent - "the best stallion +7".
[Note: The best stallion +7: its excellent genes are easily passed on to children.]
This talent was copied from Chiba Nobuyoshi
Ever since I copied it, I haven't had the chance to activate it.
Just like A Wu's "milk", with the birth of Jiulang and Ningning, Qingdeng's talent finally has its time to show its power!
For people with mediocre talents, this talent is of little use.
But for Qingdeng, who has nearly a hundred talents, this talent is too powerful! It is simply tailor-made for him!
Imagine what would happen if all Qingdeng’s talents were passed on to his children?
Even if you don’t inherit all of them, just half or a quarter, it’s still a very scary thing!
If you can get a few of Qingdeng's abilities, you will be enough to become a transcendent talent!
Qingdeng couldn't help but think: Now that he is married to three beautiful ladies, he can definitely mass-produce Superman!
In the future, you won’t even need to recruit talented people. Your own heirs alone will be enough to form a super strong administrative team and military team! Eventually, you will establish a “Big Tachibana Family” that will leave its name in history for repeatedly producing talented people!
Of course, all the above are purely Qingdeng’s delusions.
The birth of a boy or a girl, more or less, all depends on God's will, and he has no intention of forcing it.
In order to establish this so-called "Big Tachibana Family", he over-forced Sanako and others, causing them harm... He couldn't do such a bastard thing.
He had finally seen how difficult and dangerous childbirth was today.
In fact, he did not have high expectations for his descendants.
He only hopes that his children will grow up healthy and safe, and then become brave and upright people.
His expectations for his descendants can be borrowed from Liu Bei's famous saying: Don't ignore good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil because they are small.
…
…
A few days later——
Qinjin Fan, Xinshengzhizuo——
"Is this wooden box a 'camera'?"
Sanosuke Harada looked up and down at the huge machine in front of him with curiosity on his face.
"It is said that this wooden box can produce extremely fine paintings."
Nagakura Shinpachi added from the side.
"No, no, the camera is not a portrait, but a photocopy of the image on paper."
Suddenly, a young man jumped out of the diagonal thorn and enthusiastically asked Nagakura and Harada to learn more about the matter.
This person is none other than the photographer that Hijikata Toizo hired so hard, Kenzo Tamoto.
She has fashionable thin-framed eyes on the bridge of her nose and a pair of shiny leather shoes on her feet, giving her a "Western-savvy" appearance.
"'Photocopy'?"
Nagakura Shinpachi chewed on this unfamiliar vocabulary with a puzzled expression.
Sanosuke Harada asked bluntly:
"You are the photographer responsible for taking pictures for us today, right? How does this machine take pictures? Can you explain to me?"
It is not difficult to see that Kenzo Tamoto has great enthusiasm for photography.
Seeing that Harada Sanosuke was interested in cameras, he immediately changed into an excited tone and said passionately:
"Simply speaking, the core principle of the camera is small hole imaging. This principle describes that when light passes through a small hole, it will form a reflection of the light source on the other side. In the camera, this 'small hole' is usually replaced by a convex lens
, to improve light transmission performance and reduce aberrations and chromatic aberrations, thereby improving imaging quality..."
He chattered endlessly.
Nagakura Shinpachi on the side had already shown an expression like "Ah? What is he talking about? Who am I? What am I doing?"
Harada Sanosuke crossed his arms and nodded from time to time, as if he understood everything.
After the other party finished speaking, he nodded gently with a serious expression.
"Yes, I understand. In other words, there is a brush in this machine that can automatically draw. This brush is very powerful. Not only can it draw very fast, but it can also draw very accurately."
"Totally wrong!"
While Harada Sanosuke was torturing Tamoto in his research and development, Aoto and his wife, Shan, arrived late.
As Qingdeng arrived, everyone at the scene immediately rushed forward to say hello.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Hijikata Toshizo shrugged.
"It's okay, I just arrived."
After making simple greetings with everyone, Qingdeng turned to look at the conspicuous machine not far away, that is, the camera.
With today's cameras... this was the first time he saw the real thing.
He had only seen this kind of antique camera in old historical photos before.
As early as a few days ago, he and Toshizo Hijikata had planned to ask Kenzao Tamoto to take commemorative photos for them.
Unfortunately, Sanako and Awu suddenly gave birth, so they had to put the matter aside for the time being.
The weather is very nice today, and everyone has nothing important to do.
Not only that, Sanako and Amai have recovered to the point where they can walk on the ground.
Therefore, Qingdeng directly decided: Today, take pictures!
In this way, under Qingdeng's call, everyone gathered together, which was very lively.
…
…
With the unanimous recommendation of everyone, Qingdeng and his wife and children took the lead in taking family photos.
Not surprisingly, the tall Qingden stood in the back row.
Sanako and Amu held Kuro and Ningning in their arms respectively, and stood in front of Qingto together with Souji, the three of them arranged in a line.
The babies are no longer the ugly, wrinkled, red-skinned ones they were when they were born.
Their skin stretched out and became much fairer, gradually turning into what Qingdeng thought a cute baby should look like.
This was the first time for Sanako and others to take photos.
Therefore, facing that unfamiliar lens, they were all a little at a loss.
When Kenzo Tamoto saw this, he shouted without surprise:
"Don't be nervous! It will be fine soon!"
"Before I shout 'ok', remember not to move!"
Having said that, Kenzao Tamoto buried his head into the black cloth behind the camera and began to tinker secretly.
"Okay, don't move! One...two...three...four...five...ok! That's it! The photo has been taken, you can move!"
The general manager blinked his eyes a few times, his eyes full of confusion.
"Huh? Have you finished shooting? Sanosuke just told me that there is a very powerful brush in this wooden box. Not only can I draw very fast, but I can also draw very similar. Unexpectedly, this brush is better than I expected.
It must be amazing to draw the picture so quickly..."
"Ah! Don't spread wrong photography knowledge!"
…
Qingdeng's family portrait has been taken, and now it's time for free photography.
Hijikata Toshizo stepped forward and said first:
"Tangerine, let's take a group photo."
Qingdeng naturally had no reason to refuse. After nodding, he and the other party moved to the front of the camera.
"Sui San, how are we going to shoot?"
"How about you sit on the chair and I stand next to you?"
When Qingdeng heard this, he immediately twitched the corner of his mouth.
I'm sitting, you're standing, and you're specifically standing next to me... Why does this composition look so much like a couple's photo?
As far as Qingdeng knows, this was how family portraits were taken in the West at the same time. The wife sat on a chair, and if there was a child, she would hold the child in her arms, while the husband stood next to the wife.
These photos taken today are likely to appear in museums or history books in the future.
Seito didn't want future generations to suspect that he had some ulterior private relationship with Hijikata Toshizo...
So, at Aoto's strong request, the photo of him and Hijikata Toshizo was changed to sitting together.
I saw them sitting side by side on chairs, legs spread apart, holding a knife with their left hand... The sitting posture and momentum of the two were very similar to the "Big Three" at the Yalta Conference.
With Aoshito and Hijikata Toshizo taking the lead, the others no doubt had it, and with curiosity about this new technology, they rushed forward one after another and took pictures enthusiastically.
"A Sheng! Xiao Si! Come quickly! Let's take a group photo together!"
The friendship between Yong, Sui and Si needs no introduction.
Although they are not biological brothers and sisters, they are better than brothers and sisters.
As soon as Hijikata Toshisan finished speaking, the chief commander immediately ran over happily.
Isamu Kondo hesitated for a moment, then took a long, unhurried step and moved to Hijikata Toshizo's side.
"...Ah Sui, what are you doing?"
Isamu Kondo lowered his voice and whispered at a volume that only he and the other party could hear clearly:
"You always give me a very abnormal feeling today..."
Hijikata Toshizo smiled slightly and replied in the same low voice:
"A Sheng, you're worrying too much. I don't mean anything else. Stand up quickly and don't keep the photographer waiting."
"..."
Isamu Kondo looked at him deeply, said nothing more, and stood up straight silently.
The general manager raised his eyebrows, Toshizo Hijikata smiled, and Isamu Kondo had a straight face—the three siblings took a decent group photo.
As soon as Isamu Kondo and Souji stepped back, Hijikata Toshizo shouted again:
"The new guy! Sanosuke! Come here quickly, let us three take a group photo together!"
Toshizo Hijikata, who has a special liking for erotic places, led Shinpachi Nagakura and Sanosuke Harada into mischief. The three of them formed the "Three Prostitute Brothers", and they often went out and about together - this has now become the Shinsengumi.
An interesting anecdote.
At Hijikata Toizo's call, Nagakura Shinpachi and Harada Sanosuke both moved to his left and right sides.
Looking at Hijikata Toshizo who was happily taking photos with others, Kondo Isamu, who was waiting quietly beside him, slowly lowered his eyelids with a serious and thoughtful expression.
