Chapter 324 – Giving Birth to a Daughter
Granny Wei wondered, “What does it mean?”
Sister Liu’s expression became mysterious and her voice was even lower.
“Sister-in-law Wei has begged the wrong person, she should have directly begged Sister Liu and Miss Qiaolan who are beside the Great Mistress. Especially Sister Liu, the Great Mistress holds her in extremely high regard.”
Sister Wei smiled awkwardly. She also wanted to go through that doorway ah, but everyone said that the Grand Madame was jealous and loved to hit people. If she knew she had this in mind, she would have to slap her to death.
Sister Wu added, ”Since the First Mistress agreed to that, there has to be someone to serve the State Duke. Through her past person, who is still considered half of her inner circle, she is more at ease, isn’t she.”
Sister Wei, as if drinking the purest of all, slapped her own head and laughed, “Aigoo, such a simple thing I didn’t even think through. Thank you sister for reminding me, when things come to fruition, I will send sister a big gift.” He said that he was about to leave.
Sister Liu pulled her back and instructed, “I’m getting along well with sister-in-law Wei before I say a few more words, you mustn’t sell me out. If Great Grandma finds out, she will be reprimanded.”
Sister Wei said, “Sister is helping me, of course I won’t make it hard for you.”
Autumn rain fell in the middle of the day, Liu did not hit the horse crane, but reclined on the couch to eat grapes.
Qiaolan knocked her legs, and Sister Liu fed grapes into her mouth.
The incense burner wafted a faint green smoke, and the house was filled with jasmine scent.
Sister Liu skimmed her lips and whispered, “After that incident spread out, several people went to beg the Meixiang girl beside Great Grandma, and also went to beg Great Auntie.”
Liu coldly snorted, “Where there are few such people, as long as there are two points of color they hate to give a man as a small, and from then on one person gets a chicken and a man, it is best to step on the big woman again …… shameless fox charming child.”
She said more and more angry, eyes are bulging round.
Sister Liu said, “The old slave still feels that the person who gives to the Duke of State should be the Great Lady’s person. Or, ask uncle to help buy a thin horse, that kind of goods look handsome, will hook, will not give birth to children, the deed is in your hands ……”
Liu was angry, “Those dirty smelly ones, no make people sick, I will not personally give Meng Daoming offer. As long as he follows the agreement, which woman he finds is none of my business ……”
Sister Liu and Qiaolan glanced at each other in disappointment, they had advised madam many times, but she just wouldn’t listen.
At this time, a little girl came in and whispered, “Sister Liu, Sister Wei from Fu An Hall says she has something to find you.”
Sister Liu froze. Sister Wei was in charge of the small kitchen at Fu An Hall, and they were not familiar with it.
Liu laughed coldly, “It’s because begging them didn’t work and they’ve begged us. She’s got a lot of guts.”
“Old slave doesn’t see her.” Sister Liu added to the little girl, “Go tell her that I’m not in.”
Liu said, “Promise. If you can’t wait so long, you’ll do what they want.”
The voice was extremely slow and cold.
On the evening of the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Sister Wu helped Jiang Yishi to take a walk in the Jin Garden. Now that it was the due date, anything around Jiang Yishi, Sister Wu didn’t trust others to do, she took care of everything.
Under the setting sun, dozens of pots of chrysanthemums blossomed in the wind, and the breeze mixed with the fragrance of the flowers filled the air in all directions, which was extremely pleasant.
Suddenly, Jiang Yishi stood down and held her stomach and shouted, “Sister, my stomach hurts.”
Sister Wu hurriedly said, “Great Grandma is having a seizure, quickly, go to the backyard.”
Jiang Yishi was helped by Sister Wu to go to the west wing of the backyard to wait for the delivery, and asked, “Sister, have someone boil that ginseng.”
A few days ago, she had placed a treated ginseng on the bedroom table.
Mei Xiang’s face turned white with fear and hurriedly sent someone to report to Fu An Tang.
Hua Hua was the first to run back, sitting on that big tree outside the window again like last year, meowing and cheering for her mother.
Hearing this familiar cry, Jiang Yishi’s heart settled down for no reason. At this moment, her first thought was about Meng Zhimo, and her second was about Hua Hua.
Not too long ago, the old lady, Liu’s, Second Lady Meng, Third Lady Meng, Meng Yue, and Second Grandmother Meng all came to the backyard of Floating Life Residence. For fear of scaring Meng Zhaocun, she didn’t let him come back, and she would also rest in Fu An Hall at night.
When the night came, Liu persuaded the old lady, the second and third wives to go back, and she and Meng Yue stood guard at Fusheng Residence.
Today, Meng Zhimo had a prior trip to the other courtyard and arrived at the residence at the end of the eleventh hour.
As soon as he arrived at the corner gate, he heard Wu You Gui, who was waiting at the gatehouse, say that Great Grandma was in labor. He threw the whip to Meng Lianshan and trotted all the way back to the Floating Life Residence.
Just as he ran into the courtyard, he could hear Jiang Yishi’s screams, and he quickly ran to the backyard.
The small window of the maternity ward was closed tightly, transmitting a bright orange light.
Meng Zhimo said to the small window, “Shishi, I’m back.”
Hearing this voice, Jiang Yishi’s heart settled down, and her paroxysms weakened.
She said softly, “Grand Master is back, I’m okay.”
Liu added, “I heard the grandmother birth attendant say that the mouth of the uterus has opened six fingers ……”
It was late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the night breeze was slightly cool, and the leaves were spinning in the wind. Jiang Yishi’s paroxysms are becoming more and more frequent, in the silence of the night sky more and more mournful
Liu and Meng Yue were persuaded to go to the west wing to rest. There was a Luohan bed in the hall, and a bamboo couch was brought in, so the two of them slept diagonally with their clothes on. They couldn’t sleep, and talked to each other without saying a word. It was mainly Liu speaking, with Meng Yue occasionally chiming in.
Meng Zhimo stood outside the labor room, staring blankly at the small window.
Whenever Jiang Yishi cried out in pain, Meng Ruimo would talk to the small window and think about the future. The barking of a cat would also come from the branches of the trees overhead, whining, as if to comfort the people in the house.
Across the street, in the west wing, Liu whispered, ”Usually, I can see that Master Shizi cares for his daughter-in-law, but I didn’t expect to care so much. Jiang’s good fortune. Alas, if my future son-in-law is half as fond of his daughter-in-law, I will be satisfied.”
This was also Meng Yue’s sentiment, “I think so too.”
Jiang Yishi’s birth was relatively smooth, and she gave birth to a daughter the next day at the stroke of dawn.
The midwife laughed loudly and said, “Congratulations, Great Grandma, you’ve given birth to a little sister. She is white, chubby, and beautiful.”
Liu, who ran out, laughed and said, “Congratulations to Master Shizi, now it’s a son and daughter.”
Meng Zhimo smiled and narrowed his eyes.
After passing the scale, a midwife added, “Seven pounds and six taels.”
Meng Yue also laughed, “What a big fat daughter.”
Only hearing a cat’s cry, Hua Hua jumped down from the tree and ran into the maternity ward again.
This time it didn’t go to see mother first, but stood in a corner of the delivery bed standing upright to see her sister. Meowing, “It’s a sister, a sister is better than a brother. ”
These two midwives had also delivered Meng Zhaocun the previous year and were used to seeing this movement of Hua Hua.
The night was already cool now, and the child could not be carried out.
When Jiang Yishi was packed up and carried to the north room, Meng Zhimo, Liu, and Meng Yue all walked in happily.
Meng Zhimo went straight to see Jiang Yishi. She was already asleep, her hair wet against her head.
Meng Ruimo touched her face and straightened her hair again, softly smiling, “We have two children ……”
