Zheng Hao just returned to the Hanlin Academy today. Although he usually works in the cabinet, he didn't know if he had been appointed in the past few days, so he came to the Hanlin Academy first.
It is difficult for people in the Hanlin Academy to get promoted, and most of them have to wait for seniority. Therefore, it is very important to be able to serve in the cabinet and be recognized in front of the prime minister. Fu Cifu has already become an official. In the struggle between him and Bai Xingzhong, he has already missed the mark. Politics is so cruel, and the status reversal is like this in an instant.
He is not very close to the Fu family, but Fu Cifu's promotion will affect his promotion. This is often the case in officialdom. When you want to criticize a person, you can come up with any reason.
As a child of the prime minister's family, Zheng Hao knew too well, so he was extremely cautious in his conduct.
The only exception is probably that he changed a lot after marrying the Liu family's daughter L. At first, it was just for the promised marriage with the Liu family, but later he fell into it. He didn't know when.
Originally, he thought that getting married meant being like father and mother, treating each other as if they were guests, and having all the respect they deserve. If he hadn't married Lishu, he would have made great achievements like his father and ancestors, and had a wife and son. But once he had thoughts of love, his whole person seemed to have sustenance. He would care about others, and others would care about him.
He didn't know what would happen in the future, but he hoped that one day Lishu would like him very much. Even if he had nothing left, she would still like him. Of course, extravagant hopes are extravagant hopes. If he had nothing, he would still want to let her go.
Just as I was thinking wildly, I heard a servant of the Zheng family coming from outside: "Uncle, Grandma has already started. Madam asked me to tell you that if you can take a leave of absence, you can go back."
Of course, Zheng Hao is not a person who neglects public affairs for personal reasons. He even dislikes people who forget official matters because of private matters. Today, he made an exception.
Outside the delivery room, Mrs. Zheng was in a mood to talk to Mrs. Xu and the Liu sisters when she saw that it had calmed down.
"Today, a relative came from afar and is getting married at my house. Brother Hao's daughter-in-law is due to give birth today. It's a coincidence. I'd rather bother my eldest wife and a few aunts to come over and forgive me for entertaining them. Not thoughtful."
Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "My brother and sister are not here, but our old lady is thinking about her. Lishu has been raised under our old lady's knees since she was a child. Although she is not worried, if there is good news, I will go back and report it to our old lady early." OK."
Mrs. Zheng was about to say something, but she heard from outside that Zheng Hao was back. In fact, no one had any in-depth contact with Zheng Hao. Due to the lack of ethics, they only knew that he was quite talented and personable, but today we saw that he was walking very fast. , just came to the delivery room, acting anxious.
I don’t know if it was because of the telepathy, but Li Shu had calmed down a little, but suddenly her stomach started to stir again. This time Wen Po said happily: "She is really about to give birth."
This mother sometimes gives birth to a baby all day and all night long, but the longer the baby is born, the more likely it is that something will happen. For example, if the baby cannot come out, it will be held in. If it is held in for a long time, problems will easily occur. If the baby cannot give birth for a long time, the mother will have problems herself. If she cannot give birth, she will have to induce labor, and then the mother's body will be damaged.
Fortunately, Grandma Zheng's delivery went smoothly. Lishu was also secretly glad that she had no major health problems. She asked Wen Po to feel the fetal position every time and did not dare to eat too much for fear that the baby would be too big to be born. .
But despite this, the pain of giving birth made her unable to help but cry out in pain.
Zheng Hao heard Li Shu outside
the sound of,
I just feel like my heart is tightening,
Mrs. Zheng saw that his face was not good, so she quickly comforted him and said, "This is the case for any woman giving birth, so you don't have to worry too much."
Although Mrs. Zheng hopes that her son will come back and knows that her daughter-in-law has given birth to a child, she does not want him to be too worried. This is probably the psychology of every mother-in-law, Mrs. Zheng also laughed at herself.
"This is her first time giving birth, and her body is not strong. Why don't you let me go into the delivery room to accompany her." Zheng Hao's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard Li Shu's voice inside.
Originally, Mrs. Xu was watching the show with her legs crossed. She was not her daughter anyway, she just came over to give her a thumbs up.
Lirou and Lijia also had the same mentality. They would leave at noon and there was no need to stay here all the time. They were still talking about Zheng's snacks.
Lijia smiled and said to Liju: "Look at this plate of carp snacks. It looks like carp and tastes very good, but it tastes like fresh milk. It's really delicious."
"The most important thing is that snacks that are not sweet or greasy are the most delicious." Li Rou smiled.
The two of them were talking happily when they heard the commotion in the delivery room and saw that Zheng Hao's eyes were red. Lijia and Lirou both felt sour in their hearts, just like Lijia already felt that her husband was considerate and could say a few soft words on weekdays. talk. For Li Rou, it was because she was born well, which was probably the case. Wu Xuanhe could still come to her a few times a month and respected her on the face, and she felt that her heart had calmed down.
But seeing Zheng Hao like this, they all felt a vague sense of envy in their hearts.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu had no choice but to come forward and persuade her: "Uncle, this delivery room is unlucky. Besides, you don't know how to deliver babies, so you rushed in like this. What if you surprise the mother?"
Although she said this casually, Mrs. Zheng felt that the reason was very good: "Yes, originally she was giving birth according to the midwife's instructions. When you ran in, she was distracted and it might be harmful to her health."
In this way, everyone persuaded Zheng Hao.
But although Zheng Hao couldn't go in, he shouted outside for the sake of An Lishu's heart: "Shu'er, I'm guarding you outside, don't worry."
Li Shu, who was giving birth in the room, immediately felt relieved when she heard Zheng Hao's voice.
She is actually in good health, but because of her slender waist and slim figure, everyone always feels that she can be blown away by the wind when she walks. Now she is using all her strength according to the midwife's method.
"ah……"
Li Shu felt something leaking out from under her body. Although her eyes were blurred by sweat and tears, she could still feel the joy of the people around her.
In particular, Mother Hu and Mother Gong both came forward to congratulate her: "Grandma, congratulations on giving birth to a little brother."
Li Shu secretly longed to have a daughter, because she would be the best like herself and little Fu, but she also knew very well that according to her current situation, having a son would be the only way to gain a firm footing.
So she stopped being pretentious. She wanted to say something, but she was too tired. She just wanted to sleep. She was really exhausted just now.
As for what happened when she fell asleep, she didn't know.
Zheng Hao held a baby for the first time, but he always felt that it was unrealistic. Mrs. Zheng quickly took it and said: "As the saying goes, you should hold a grandson instead of a son, so I'll hold it and see."
"It's just a bit ugly." Zheng Hao was a little at a loss, but he was embarrassed.
Even Mrs. Xu felt guilty when she heard this.
A bit funny,
I think Zheng Hao is too childish.
But the way he looks like a new father shows how young he is.
When Lijia and Lirou learned that Lishu had given birth to a son, they also stepped forward to congratulate Mrs. Zheng. Needless to say, Mrs. Zheng was beaming with joy.
On the way back, Lirou and Lijia took the carriage back together. Lijia said: "You and the second sister are both lucky people. It will be much easier to give birth to a son for the first time. You didn't see Mrs. Zheng like that just now." What a joy."
"You should be happy. Who wouldn't be happy after giving birth to a son?" Lirou said with a smile.
Li Jia didn't know why she thought of Mrs. Fu at this time. If she were here, she would definitely be stupidly happy for Li Shu, because she is like this. People who are too kind are easily bullied. She didn't want to be like Fu. She wanted to be like little Fu. Back then, little Fu was clinging to the Liu family and wouldn't leave even if her mother asked her to go back and get married and gave her her dowry. What these people want is to replace them one day.
The mother-in-law was troubled and eventually lost her status as the main wife. Even her mother was unknown. People outside thought she was the daughter of the little Fu family. But if they knew the age of the little Fu family, many people thought she was Like Li Wan and the others, they were concubines.
Because the eldest aunt came to take care of Lishu today, she thought that Lishu was the only daughter of the second family.
It's ridiculous and sad. She hates little Fu, but she still wants to be little Fu, because her grandfather has returned to her hometown as an official, and her second uncle is an imperial scholar in Beijing, but her second cousin is already a prince-in-law. In order to avoid suspicion, her second uncle committed suicide. Please go out, of course, because you are afraid of being retaliated by Bai Xingzhong.
No one in the mother's family can prove that she is the legitimate granddaughter. If the Song family hadn't recognized the governor of the river because of her father, I'm afraid the Fu family would be in trouble when it fell.
She all said with emotion: "My second sister has been the most beautiful among our sisters since I was a child, and my husband and wife decided to marry the right person. Marrying a woman is like reincarnating for the second time. I can't make it, I just make do with it." , Fourth sister, you are marrying better than me, I heard that Wu Zhuanshi will be promoted to Right Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs soon, congratulations to you."
In fact, Lirou naturally felt that the Wu family was not good, but in her heart she felt that the Cen family was very good. The reason why Li Zhen did not live well in the Cen family was that she was unruly and willful, and she did not like what she wanted, but Cen Shifang was able to make the decision. , but Wu Xuanhe cannot make the decision.
But Lijia was speechless after congratulating herself: "Sister, this marriage looks good on the surface, but what is it that you should know about?"
Although the young Fu family is also responsible for a large part, Lijia was the one who talked about this marriage in the first place. With her closeness to the Wu family, doesn’t she know who Mrs. Wu is?
Lijia didn't expect that Lirou's spear was aimed at her, and she was choked for a moment.
And Li Shu didn't know that the sisters were starting to have conflicts. When she woke up, the little bun had been placed warmly in the car next to her. Her stomach finally calmed down. Although it was still a little prominent, it was finally become free.
Zhulan and Lamei came in with medicine to help Lishu eliminate lochia. She took it and drank it in one gulp.
Lamei said: "I just went to the Yamen. You don't know. I seem to have cried when I heard you gave birth to a baby."
"Really?" Li Shu felt sweetness in her heart.
Lian Zhulan nodded and said: "Of course it is true. I saw it with my own eyes. I was carrying water out at that time."
Li Shu quickly buried her head in the pillow: "He is like this in front of the elders, how can I meet people in the future?" She just saw it in private, everyone knew it, so when she appeared in front of everyone, wouldn't it matter? Not so shameful. !
