Chapter 860 He Is Like Ice and Snow in Winter
"Didn't you say that it will be a few days until the due date?" Ruoyin asked.
"It's true that it will take a few more days, but it's just a matter of these few days. The early days and the late days are all within the normal time." Su Peisheng turned back, looked at the fourth master, and asked, "Master, what are you doing now?" look......"
It's fine to have a baby on the first day of the new year.
Still in the carriage.
There were no midwives to deliver the baby, and it was freezing cold, so what should I do.
Fourth Master first opened the curtain to glance at the heavy snow outside, and then ordered in a deep voice, "Tell the coachman to drive slowly, and besides, you hurry to ask the midwife."
"Hey." After Su Peisheng agreed, he hurried to make arrangements.
Then, the carriage that stopped originally continued to drive towards Yuanmingyuan.
However, the drive was slower than before.
Ruoyin looked at fourth master's gloomy face, and comforted him, "fourth master, Nian's first child is considered full-term, and he will definitely give birth to a healthy child safely. In addition, I have given birth before, so I know that after the activation, it will be better for a while." It will take a while to give birth, so when we get back to the garden, we can still make it in time, it doesn't matter."
The date of birth in ancient times was not very accurate.
The early half month and the late half month are all within normal time.
Nianshi was supposed to be a matter of these few days, but the timing was too coincidental.
The man's expression was dignified, and he only gave a faint "hmm" and said nothing.
Ruoyin leaned lightly on the car mat, and Nian's cry of pain came from behind him.
In fact, Nian's cry was not loud, because he was outside after all, so he should be suppressing it.
It's just that Ruoyin has given birth before, so she knows how painful labor is.
If it weren't for the pain, someone like Nian who pays attention to rules would definitely not want to call out.
Another half an hour later, the carriage finally stopped at the front gate of Yuanmingyuan.
Fourth Master got out of the carriage first.
Ruoyin followed closely and walked to Nian's carriage.
Fortunately, Nian Shi was not born yet, so Su Peisheng ordered someone to prepare a soft sedan chair and take him to Yanyu Building.
After a while, Nian was carried to the Misty Rain Tower.
Ruoyin and fourth master also arrived at Yanyu Tower in sedan chairs.
Knowing that a baby will be born in the first lunar month, Nian has already arranged several midwives in the yard.
Now laying down on the bed, Imperial Physician Feng prescribed birth medicine, and the midwife began to deliver the baby.
When such a big event happened, several people in the backyard came one by one out of concern or gossip.
At this time, Ruoyin and fourth master were sitting at the head of the hall.
There were a few in the backyard, and they all sat down.
One by one, seeing fourth master's gloomy face, they didn't dare to say a word.
Even Li Shi, who has always been talkative, sat upright.
Even when drinking tea, she was cautious, for fear of making any noise.
In the room, Nian's cries of pain came one after another.
Everyone just waited quietly, from the afternoon until it was dark.
But Nian's voice was always coming out of it because of the ginseng hanging, and because she was young, no less than during the day.
Mrs. Li was so hungry that her chest stuck to her back.
But if fourth master didn't say anything, she didn't dare to leave first.
He just said indifferently: "It's already dark, how come sister Nian hasn't been born yet."
Can I still give birth, really!
"Sister Li, don't worry. You have given birth to several children. Naturally, one child is smoother than the other. Sister Nian is still the first child, so it will inevitably be more difficult." Niu Gulu said softly.
This year, Nianshi is still a girl, and she hasn't been serving men for long, so it's going to be more difficult to have a baby.
It's not like Mrs. Li, the first batch of old people in the mansion.
Having given birth to so many children, it is naturally not that difficult.
After listening to Niu Gulu's words, Mrs. Li wanted to retaliate.
However, because fourth master was still sitting at the top.
I had no choice but to curl my lips and take a sip of tea to calm down.
Just then, the inner door opened.
Everyone looked at the door and thought Nian Shi was born.
Unexpectedly, it was one of the midwives who delivered the baby.
As soon as the midwife came out, she glanced at the room, and when she met Fourth Master, she knelt down in the hall, "Fourth Master, the situation of Nian Fujin is not very good..."
"What's going on." Fourth master stopped twisting the beads and asked in a deep voice.
"Then... Nian Fujin... was supposed to be born a long time ago, but the fetus's head is abnormally large, it is really difficult to give birth, and if this continues, there is no way. Therefore, the servant dared Let me ask you, do you want to protect the adults or protect the children?"
After speaking, the midwife paused for a moment, then tremblingly said: "In addition, I want to remind fourth master that this child's head is much larger than that of ordinary newborn babies. Different from ordinary people, even if it is born, it must be carefully raised..."
After finishing speaking, in this severe winter, beads of sweat oozed from the midwife's forehead.
But even so, she had to put the ugly words first.
Otherwise, if the delay continues like this, it is very likely to kill two people.
Moreover, just like that child, even if it is born, it will be difficult to support.
So, it's better to be clear about everything.
Otherwise, the unlucky ones will be these midwives who deliver the baby.
For a moment, the already depressing atmosphere in the hall became even weirder.
Niu Gulu's eyes turned slightly, concealing the emotions in his heart well, and said sadly: "Oh, sister Nian has always been healthy, how could it be like this."
Mrs. Li also showed sadness, and raised her hand to wipe her mouth.
It's just that the corners of his mouth, hidden under the handkerchief, are raised gleefully.
Ruoyin didn't speak, but she knew it very well.
The meaning of the midwife's words is obvious.
Nian's child is different from ordinary people, even if the child is born, I am afraid it will be difficult to raise.
However, fourth master's already gloomy face suddenly became chillingly cold.
He is like ice and snow in winter, just a look can freeze people in place.
After a moment of silence, his cool lips parted slightly, and he said in a dignified tone, "Then protect your lord."
"Yes." After the midwife agreed, she went into the inner delivery room again.
Ruoyin hasn't eaten for a long time, but it's not easy to eat snacks at this critical moment.
Just pick up the cups on the table and drink some hot tea to warm your stomach.
If she had just come here, she would have been dumbfounded when she heard the midwife asking whether Master Bao was a child or not.
But now, she's used to it.
It seems that in this medically underdeveloped Qing Dynasty, such problems are very common for women who give birth, just like everyday food.
As for what fourth master said, she also made sense.
If the child is born, it is healthy and healthy.
Maybe for adults or children, fourth master has to weigh the pros and cons.
However, the midwife had said that the child was different from ordinary people.
In this way, it is natural to protect the adults.
After all, no one knows what a child will look like when it is born.
Even if they are born, whether they can support them is another question.
