"Wow wow wow..."
A baby's cry accompanied the morning light from the small courtyard of the residence behind the Miscellaneous Academy outside Langyuan City.
Squeak, the door of the backyard bedroom was pushed open from the inside, and a middle-aged woman with a Chinese character face with some sweat on her face walked out with a smile on her face, holding a cotton swaddle in her arms.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zeng and congratulations to Mr. Zhang. Miss is safe and sound. She gave birth to a fat, white boy, weighing seven pounds and six taels!"
The two men rushed over, with the younger one rushing in front. He was excited and wanted to pick up the baby, but he was a little nervous. In the end, although he held it in his arms, he just smiled and didn't know what to say.
The older man was dressed in a brocade robe and the accessories on his body were very noble. There was also a look of joy on his face, but he was obviously more calm. He patted the young man next to him and said with a smile: "Just take a look and leave it to Mrs. Wen. The baby still needs to be taken care of. He has to go to his mother's place to nurse later!"
After saying that, he looked at the middle-aged woman at the door and said, "Take good care of my sister, and I will give you another 30% of your reward!"
"More Mr. Zhang! I will definitely take good care of the young lady, don't worry!" She was also happy in her heart. Just this time, she could earn as much as she had in the past two or three years. As expected, it is indeed the richest family in Nanyuan Kingdom, and its skill is unparalleled by others.
The "rich Mr. Zhang" that Po Wen was thinking of was naturally Zhang Shun, a wealthy businessman now recognized in Nanyuan Kingdom. The young man beside Zhang Shun holding his child reluctantly was Zeng Hao.
Two years have passed since Zeng Hao married Zhang Huiyuan, the third eldest child of the Zhang family. Zhang Huiyuan was also ten months pregnant and gave birth to a son today.
"Okay, you can stay here. I'm going back to tell my mother the good news. I will bring someone over early tomorrow morning, and Huiyuan's confinement will be under my care. But when the child reaches 100, When it gets colder, you have to go back to Zhang’s courtyard to stay for a while, don’t forget it.”
"Uncle, don't worry, I know the truth!" Zeng Hao replied with a smile. He understood that the Zhang family was trying to save face for him. Otherwise, his wife Zhang Huiyuan would not have given birth in his yard at all. The conditions in the Zhang family house were much better than here. What's more, the old mother Wang Lanping has to come in person to serve the confinement child. How could Zeng Hao be ignorant?
Zhang Shun went back in a carriage. He could imagine that his mother must be anxiously waiting for news.
After seeing Zhang Shun off for a few steps, Zeng Hao returned to guard outside the bedroom door. When Wen Po came out again, he was allowed in. Everything in the house has been tidied up.
As soon as he entered the house, Zeng Hao could see some blood-stained cloth strips in the copper basin on the ground, but he could tell that the bleeding was very small. He had read relevant books and knew that this was a normal phenomenon.
Zhang Huiyuan was half lying on the bed, with a thick cushion behind her. There were two maids guarding her, as well as a midwifery team brought by Po Wen. The bedroom, which was not too spacious, was a bit crowded.
The child is in Zhang Huiyuan's arms, enjoying his first meal after birth.
Zeng Hao didn't interrupt, just walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the baby with a smile, and would look at his wife and smile from time to time.
The child was small and didn't eat much. He was full quickly and fell asleep. The maid carried him to the small bed next to him and took care of him. This is the maid sent by Wang Lanping, the mother of the Zhang family, to take care of her children. She has served two young masters of the Zhang family before. She has rich experience and is especially trusted by Wang Lanping.
"Madam, thank you for your hard work." Only then did Zeng Hao have the opportunity to hold his wife's hand tightly.
"I gave you a son with my first child, you have to be nicer to me in the future!"
"Um!"
"By the way, now while the baby is full and asleep, go and take out the talent ruler that the second brother gave us and try to see if our boy is a lucky person!"
"Ah? The child is still young, why don't we wait?" Zeng Hao felt that the child was only a little older, so there was no need to rush to check for any talent.
But Zhang Huiyuan obviously didn't think so. Stubbornly, Zeng Hao quickly went to get the talent ruler. Her child, she wanted to know as soon as possible if she could have the opportunity to learn skills from her second brother. Now, no more than two years ago, who in the world doesn’t know that the most promising thing is to go to the cliff mountain to learn Taoism? It’s just that the threshold for learning Taoism is too high. Even among the Zhang family, only one in-law, Wang Nian, lives in the mountains.
Zhang Huiyuan naturally hopes that her children will have the opportunity to enter the cliff mountain. But she knew that she had to be talented to pass the test. So during a meeting a year ago, she asked her second brother for a talent ruler.
Zeng Hao smiled. He knew his wife's temperament very well. She would often be so impatient, and the more she was so impatient, the more he could not stand up to her, otherwise he would definitely lose his temper. That's all for normal times, but she just gave birth now. Even if Zhang Huiyuan's body and bones have been healed by her second uncle with elixirs, it's better not to lose her temper at this time.
So Zeng Hao could only trot out and take out the talent ruler from the secret room of the study and ran back.
"Go quickly and put it next to the child."
The use of the talent ruler is very simple, just stay close to the object you want to measure. Zeng Hao took the talent ruler and placed it on the crib, next to the child. Then everyone in the room soon saw a dazzling light shining from the talent ruler.
"Madam, look! Our boy really has the talent to practice Taoism!" Zeng Hao blinked his eyes and exclaimed. He was also a little confused by the huge surprise.
But surprise is surprise, the child is still too young. Even if you are talented enough, you still have to wait until you are six years old if you want to be like Duoyashanmen. However, the news that the Zhang family's grandson had a talent for cultivating also spread like wildfire. Everyone understands that this baby's start is definitely not ordinary.
Zhang Huiyuan went up to the cliff mountain with a letter, and Wang Nian, Zhang Yan's eldest disciple, went down the mountain in person, bringing a reply from Zhang Yan and the most basic breathing method.
"The child is so young, he shouldn't be able to learn, right? Why don't you take the little stone back first, and then teach him when he is older. Otherwise, I worry about losing the things." Zhang Huiyuan's worries are not unreasonable. In a few years, No one can tell whether someone will be eyeing this thing and take action.
"Sister, don't worry. You don't need to wait so long for this thing. You can learn it now." Wang Nian stretched out his hand and put a finger on the baby's eyebrows. With a thought in his mind, a magic door containing the art of breathing in and out was entered. In the consciousness of the baby who was just one month old.
"The baby is still young, and a lot of his consciousness is based on instinct. Now it is enough to replace his simple breathing rhythm with the art of exhalation and inhalation. It is much simpler than learning it later.
By the way, sister, has this baby got a name now? "
For Wang Nian, who is in the Dao Dan realm, it is too simple to teach a simple and basic method to a baby whose independent consciousness has not yet formed. When his fingers left the child's forehead, he could already feel that the child was rapidly changing his breathing rhythm, giving up the incompetent breathing method and using breathing techniques instead.
"Took it, and my name is Zeng Youren." Zhang Huiyuan replied with a smile.
