Chapter 383 Overjoyed
On April 30, Mu Ningxue successfully gave birth to a son. As the family reported the good news, the old lady and Xiao, who were anxiously waiting, were immediately ecstatic.
In the delivery room, Xu Hao accompanied his wife who was just like a serious illness. The couple held hands tightly, and Aunt Xiao and other elders came in to congratulate him.
Mrs. Mu looked relieved and gently wiped her daughter's forehead. Thanks to her son-in-law, she was able to stay by her eldest daughter's side, otherwise she would have to wait for the news at home. There is no doubt that with her mother and husband around her, Mu Ningxue had great courage.
Xu Hao couldn't say what he was like at this moment. It was a very wonderful feeling. Even if he was bored, when he saw his son, the blood-connected father and son's response would instantly drive away all negative emotions and tenderness arises in his heart.
Xu Qinglian held the baby and took care of her, but threw her daughter into the wet nurse's arms. The grown-up Mu Qingshuang still had the cuteness of the girl's generation. After four years of separation, she became a great beauty. It is said that the family who wanted to kiss her almost broke through the door. At this moment, Mu Qingshuang stared at the baby with curious face, trying to reach out to touch her delicate skin, but she didn't dare, and her expression was incredible.
Seeing this, Xu Hao smiled and said, "Let the elder sister take it home to raise it, so we can save time and effort."
Mu Ningxue laughed and said, "He is heartless." Xu Hao pointed at Mu Qingshuang and said, "The real heartless girl is Shuang."
At this time, Xiao, who had teased his grandson for a long time, turned his head and said, "I remember to get up early tomorrow, and the ancestral hall and the elders will go to kowtow."
Xu Hao said unhappily: "Who sets the rules? I'll be exempted from this in the future."
Xiao said with an expression that he knew this before, "You have to kowtow to your mother-in-law's house for the first child. I'll tell you anyway."
Xu Hao smiled and didn't move, and Mrs. Mu didn't care. Most of the rules and taboos for giving birth were almost destroyed by her son-in-law. Even his wife had to be with her when giving birth. Who would dare to have sex?
Generally, in ancient times, due to the low status of women, the mortality rate of babies was very high. There was often a saying that having children was a big life for a little life. Midwives were regarded as the lowest-class industry. Some pregnant women in the countryside had fine soil when giving birth, and the mat and the grass on the kang had to be removed. This means "born and raised in the country."
Of course, the Xu family would not be like this, but Xu Hao specially arranged the delivery room to give his wife a good mood. In recent years, he insisted on not being in a hurry to have children, and waited patiently until his wife was over 20 years old. He insisted on running away all year round and other exercises to make his body healthy, and finally, the mother and son were safe without any danger.
Even wealthy families have to follow the current rules. The umbilical cord must be cut with the most common scissors, buried in the center of the yard or under the window, and then feed pigs and chickens. Anyway, it is considered unclean. After delivery, the midwife even has to wash her hands with a clean urine jar, for fear of not getting bad luck on the basin.
Of course, wealthy families have to give three or five taels of money to wash their hands, and the next confinement period must be closed and the doors and windows cannot be seen. In addition to being afraid of mother and son being affected, the ancients believed that women who were in confinement had conflicts with many things. It is not auspicious to go out to see people and things.
Xu Hao disdained all these rules and had to use scissors made of gold to cut open the umbilical cord. It is said that the ten months when the mother and son are connected with each other with their hearts are the first precious gifts given to the child by the mother and must be preserved with great care.
Xu Hao's various actions made Mu Ningxue grateful, and it was even more satisfying that she had no husband's considerate behavior. When Mu Ningxue finished her confinement period healthy, Xu Hao's deeds soon spread and were regarded as a model of a good husband in the Ming Dynasty by thousands of women and girls all over the world.
Xiangyu was responsible for delivering her baby. Seven or eight female doctors were wearing white coats and were responsible for taking action. They were full of new bandages and other tools. Xu Hao even made detailed filings for caesarean section in advance just in case. If it was a last resort, he could only treat the dead horse as a living horse.
The elders of Xiao and others glanced at the unununted curtains hanging. A window opened the gap. The warm wind brought fresh air. Through the glass window, the warm and bright sunlight shone in. The illuminated Mu Ningxue was bathed in the white light. Before he knew it, many aspects of the Xu family had changed subtly.
It’s a little joy to have a daughter, and it’s a big joy to have a boy. However, compared to Xu Hao’s attitude when his elder sister gave birth, everyone hasn’t hugged her son for so long. I guess in this person’s heart, his daughter is a big joy to have.
The facts are almost the same. Due to the principle of homosexual restraint, Xu Hao naturally prefers beautiful and gentle girls and keeps saying: "Fortunately my elder sister gave birth to a daughter, otherwise our son wouldn't even have a sister. How pitiful would that be?"
Xu Qinglian said laughably: "Cui Tao has given birth to a man and a woman long ago, does it have a sister?"
"Oh." Xu Hao patted his forehead, "I forgot my second sister's child."
Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to his rebellious son, so he looked at his grandson reluctantly, washed his hands for ten taels of silver for each doctor, passed the message to the tea room, and sent it to his relatives and friends.
Xu Qinglian said: "Most of the Hongye and Green Zhu and their relatives have not delivered a letter yet, so they have to send someone to notify us of the big joy."
Xiao smiled and said, "Why do you have to teach everyone to trouble you?"
"Everyone is very concerned. If you don't know, you will definitely not be able to support the future." Xu Qinglian said, turning around and watching Ningxue eat half a bowl of brown sugar millet porridge with Xiao.
The wet nurse, Mrs. Ye, held the baby and shook it gently. At first, the housekeeper selected several wet nurses in the clan. Those who were over thirty years old were eliminated by Xiao. The remaining two were handsome and the other ugly. At that time, most people naturally preferred the one who looked good, but Xiao had quite experienced this and ordered them to squeeze half a bowl of milk each.
Sniffing the smell, I found that the milk squeezed out by the beautiful nurse had a strange smell, which means that the person is not very healthy, so I decided that he looked ugly, but he could not pass Xu Hao's level. In terms of treating his son, Xu Hao, who was always approachable, suddenly became extremely picky.
Sister Ye is the widow of Yan Jun. She is from a northern scholarly family. She has read books and can recognize words. She looks beautiful and slim, has a healthy and well-educated body. She has a pair of round and white breasts. She has just given birth to a daughter at the age of 20 this year. Unfortunately, her husband had an accident before the New Year.
Xu Hao did not let the mother and daughter separate. Not only did he invite Mrs. Ye to come to his house to be his son's wet nurse, but his daughter also invited her to be his son's fucking sister. He was preparing to raise her together.
Sister Ye was very grateful for this and took care of the little master wholeheartedly from then on.
The next day, the female family members from all families came to visit early, and there was no need to explain the various lively and prosperous things. Mu Ningxue was half lying in the warm pedestal, with white satin plastering her forehead and white fox vest wearing bright red silk. Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingshuang sat on both sides. Most people were unable to enter the room due to confinement.
The old lady asked, "Have you drunk the porridge?" Mu Ningxue smiled and said, "I used it early in the morning."
Xiao helped the old lady to the next room and looked at her sleeping great-grandson. The old lady was very excited. After all, this was the eldest and greatest-grandson of the Xu family, and she repeatedly told her not to make any mistakes.
Looking at Sister Ye carefully, she saw a purple long dress on her body, wearing a green silk vest, revealing two small moon-white silk sleeves; her slender body, a bulging face. Her tall nose, curved eyebrows, long eyes, black hair, white skin, and no makeup on her face.
"What a dignified wife." The old lady felt very satisfied at the moment.
Just as I was asking, I heard someone say, "Grandma is back."
Zhu Qiaoqiao, who was surrounded by others, looked smiling, wearing a floral coat with blue carved silk, a water robe with red carved silk, a gold-carved treasure-inlaid double dragon collar, and a beaded hairpin and jade-browning. The more she looked cloudy, the cloud ring was shining, and it was really shining.
After visiting the children, the group went out to the flower hall outside and sat down to talk. Xiao took the time to ask the mother beside Xu Cuiyun: "What disease does the son-in-law have?"
The old lady said, "When the girl passed by, she was not sick, but later she vomited blood for some reason. She invited the imperial doctor to take it and seemed to be cured. Who would have thought that she had vomited again last month? It was probably the girl's life, and the wife should be prepared."
The old lady and others shook their heads, thinking that the person who was so ill that he vomited blood? But they were all beaten by Xu Cuiyun!
The next day, Xi San, the whole clan came to see Xi'er add a basin. Xu Qingtang named his grandson Xu Ye in public, and then the emperor gave him the title of Yunqiwei.
If it were in the past, Zhu Qiaoqiao would feel very uncomfortable. No matter how much Mu Ningxue gave birth to a son, it would be better to be loved by the whole family.
This time she came back, she got Xu Hao nodded and was about to return to Liaodong when she was pregnant. After secretly giving birth to the child, she claimed to be adopted, because Xu Hao had already drawn a circle for her. As long as she agreed to any place overseas, it would be the territory of the child.
Xu Hao knew how big the outside world was. If his sons were really king overseas, there would be some places to occupy, and of course the premise was that they had to have the ability to rule.
Zhu Qiaoqiao was a little curious about what happened to Liu Zhi, and asked the woman privately. The woman sighed, "I'm not hiding it from my grandmother. Madam clearly didn't allow her son-in-law to get along with her, but she wanted to buy four or five little girls home, but she didn't let her son-in-law worry about her. That day, the son-in-law was beaten and told me to take care of him."
The woman said again: "Last month, my wife went to the temple to fulfill her wish and had to stay for a few days. There was something important at home. I stayed at home and asked tens of millions of dollars before leaving. I said: "This sore will be cured in half a month. My contribution is already ninety-thousand nine cents. If I get one more, it will be a complete task. After I go, none of you are allowed to secretly go to a room with him. If it is found, this sore will not be saved even if the gods are alive."
Unexpectedly, as soon as I left, these big-headed girls applied rouge and powder one by one. They were just a group of goblins. When they saw me, there was no one else in the study. They went there for three times when they had nothing to do. They would send tea if they didn’t send tea, and they would send water if they didn’t send water. They would tease him in front of them.
Zhu Qiaoqiao immediately sneered: "It's true that he is also a restless person. He dares to go to the room even if he is injured?"
