211, Chapter 211
Although the situation in the capital is tense, this tension is not a big deal. At most, with the appearance of the second prince, the factional competition among the princes has begun. If it were other princes, they would not be able to compete with the eldest prince. After all, the Ren family was very powerful. But the prince from the Shen family is different. After all, Queen Yuan has this kind of relationship.
However, because of this incident, Du Ke also returned to Beijing, and the Royal Food Franchise Plan sent someone else to come over.
At this moment, Du Ke and Mr. Du are playing chess. It seems like playing chess, but actually analyzing the current situation.
Master Du: "What do you think about this matter?"
Du Ke said: "It doesn't matter how I look at it. I won't survive the ending anyway. So, father doesn't have to worry about this."
Mr. Du held back his laughter and said, "That's true." They were older than the emperor, so the fight for the crown prince was indeed none of their business. Even if they were gone, the emperor would still be there. As long as the emperor is still there and they remain staunch royalists, they will not be able to see who will become the prince in the future. However: "The emperor gave the second prince the title in a big way this time, and it seems that he values the second prince very much. The emperor has a deep love for Empress Yuan. If this is the case for the eldest prince, it is not true for the eldest prince. Good news.”
Du Ke: "This capital city has just been quiet for a while, and it's about to get lively again. It's better for Qin Fang to hide in Yunxiang County. He won't be implicated in the capital city."
Mr. Du: "That's not necessarily the case. He has the medicine in his hand. It depends on how the emperor arranges for him. If he is transferred to the capital, where do you think he will be placed? By the end of next year, he will be The one-year term will be over, and based on his merits, he will definitely be transferred to the capital, unless the emperor has other arrangements."
Yes, local officials are transferred in three years. Unlike officials like them in Beijing, who thought so, from March last year to the end of next year, Qin Fang's three-year term expired. Thinking of this, Du Ke frowned. If Qin Fang was transferred to the capital, which position would be suitable for him?
Mr. Du: "Have you thought about it?"
Du Ke: "Qin Fang is now a general of the fifth rank with military virtue. If he is moved, he will not be transferred to the capital based on his merits. If he is transferred equally, he will only be the command camp in the suburbs of Beijing and the troops in the five cities. The horse commander will either be promoted, and among the generals in the capital, the official rank is from the fourth rank to the top, and they have real power... He has the military department and the imperial palace. It’s trust, and it seems to be more trusting than me as a teacher.”
Mr. Du said: "I said, this Qin Fang is a lucky person." And no one dislikes lucky people.
Duko didn't respond.
No matter what the situation in the capital is, it will not extend to Yunxiang County for the time being.
The people in the General's Mansion have been very nervous recently because their wife is about to give birth. From servant to master, there is no one who is not nervous. Many people feel the kindness of the Qin family and hope that Yang Haiyan will give birth to a son. To tell the truth, even Aunt Lian hopes so.
No matter how generous a family is to their daughters, they still hope that their first child will be a boy. This is a deep-rooted thought of ancient people, and no one can change it. There are not many people like Qin Fang who think about having a daughter every day. In fact, Qin Fang is not worried about his sons and daughters. Anyway, he has four brothers. Even if he does not have a son, he still has younger brothers. So in this situation, Qin Fang especially wanted his daughter.
Qin's mother has not been to the Huangliang Factory these days. The factory affairs are left to Qin's father. Qin's mother is at home every day in case her daughter-in-law is not there when she gives birth. She is also worried about her daughter-in-law having an accident. Speaking of Qin's mother, even Qin Fang has not gone to the military camp these days. He is also worried that he will not be there when his wife gives birth. He will be the first person to see his daughter. I also hope that the first person my daughter sees when she opens her eyes is him.
But Qin Fang doesn't know where a newborn child can open its eyes to see people?
Yang Haiyan's pregnancy was in the evening. After dinner that day, the couple disappeared for a walk. During the walk, Yang Haiyan suddenly felt a stomachache. She took a breath and said, "Qin Fang... Qin Fang, I can't..." She's about to give birth." She would only call Qin Fang by his name when she was nervous and angry. She usually called him husband.
Qin Fang picked her up and said nervously: "People, call Po Wen and Miss Li quickly, Madam is about to give birth." Po Wen had already invited Po Wen, and she has been staying at the General's Mansion these days. Po Wen didn't know medical skills, so Yang Haiyan invited Miss Li to help out. Not only Miss Li, but also Dr. Li will be waiting outside the house.
When Qin Fang carried Yang Haiyan to the house, he put them down. Po Wen and Miss Li arrived. They invited the best stable woman in the county, and they also hired two women, just to avoid accidents.
When Miss Li and Po Wen walked into the courtyard, Qin Fang said, "Hurry up." Not only Po Wen and Po Wen were here, but also the Qin family members arrived one after another.
Po Wen and Miss Li arrived at the house, Miss Li took her pulse, and Po Wen checked Yang Haiyan's condition. Then Wenpo said: "General, my wife is not pregnant yet, and it will take a while. Why don't you go outside and wait?"
Qin Fang said: "No, I'm waiting here, you don't have to worry about me."
Po Wen: "But..." Po Wen looked at Yang Haiyan, "Madam, men are not suitable for women to give birth, do you think?"
Another midwife said, "That's right. If a man is in the house while a woman is giving birth, it will ruin his luck."
Qin Fang said, "Shut up, don't tell the lady these things, just do your own job." He was a man who had fought on the battlefield, but he never believed these things. If seeing blood would ruin his luck and bring bad luck, then he had killed many enemies before. After instructing the midwife, Qin Fang said to Yang Haiyan, "Yan Yan, you should listen to them. If you are not afraid, I will be by your side."
Yang Haiyan naturally didn't believe what the midwife said. Nowadays, husbands accompany their mothers during childbirth. Besides, she also wanted Qin Fang to accompany her. Men should know that women are having a hard time giving birth. She smiled weakly: "With my husband here, I have peace of mind. I believe in my husband. As long as my husband is here, I am not afraid of anything." She did not ask Qin Fang to stay, but only said that he was her lover.
Sure enough, hearing his wife say this, Qin Fang did not want to leave the house even more.
The midwife is an ordinary person. General Qin can't say it, so they naturally won't say anything. Miss Li is a doctor, and she doesn't have the same ideas as the midwife. She thinks that when the lady is giving birth, the general is with her, and the relationship between them is enviable.
Grandma Qin and Mother Qin are waiting outside the house, and Grandpa Qin is waiting outside the yard. This is the inner yard, so he has no one to stay. Not only did he not stay, but Doctor Li also waited with him, but Doctor Li would only go if he was needed.
Doctor Li watched Grandpa Qin walk away, and he comforted him, "Grandpa is very nervous. I check Madam's pulse every month. Madam is in good health, and the little prince is also in good health, so Madam will have a safe delivery this time." Unless there is an accident.
Grandpa Qin nodded. He is an old man. Grandma Qin has given birth to so many children. He has gone from being nervous to getting used to it. But after getting used to it, he was also nervous when Mother Qin gave birth, because Mother Qin gave birth to the eldest grandson, which is of great significance to the Qin family. As for the birth of grandchildren later, he was calm.
But this time it was different. This time, the granddaughter-in-law gave birth to the great-grandson, the first of the great-grandson generation, and he started to get nervous again.
Mother Qin was outside, and she hadn't seen Qin Fang come out yet. She couldn't help but ask, "A Fang, how is your wife?"
Qin Fang said in the house, "She's still waiting, she hasn't given birth yet."
Mother Qin: "Then come out quickly. Women give birth inside, men can't."
Qin Fang: "I won't go out. I'm with Yanyan. If I go out, she'll be scared."
Mother Qin: "..." She felt that with her daughter-in-law's knowledge, she would definitely not be scared.
Grandma Qin said, "Let him stay inside. He will be scared if he doesn't see Yanyan give birth safely." Their family is not that kind of wealthy family. If the eldest grandson wants to stay in the delivery room, let him stay. Although Grandma Qin also hopes that the eldest grandson will come out, she remembered that the nun said that the eldest grandson's wife is a blessed person, so she didn't care about it.
Yang Haiyan's stomach was throbbing with pain, from the initial pain to the increasingly intense pain. Her eyes were red, but she didn't cry. She just asked in a choked voice: "How long will it take for the baby to come out?" This was much more serious than the stomach pain during her period.
The midwife comforted her: "Madam, bear with it, it will be soon..."
Speaking of which, when the stomach hurts, time passes very slowly. There were several times when Yang Haiyan wanted to faint from the pain, but she didn't want to. She was afraid that if she fainted from the pain, she would be out of breath when the baby was about to come out. So every time she was about to faint, she would poke herself with her fingernails.
Qin Fang watched, his heart pounding, sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. For some reason, he felt his stomach gradually aching, but it was because he had a stomachache at night. However, he only had a stomachache and did not feel like going to the toilet.
When he was distracted by the stomachache, he heard Yang Haiyan calling him: "Husband... Husband..."
Qin Fang suddenly came back to his senses: "I'm here."
Yang Haiyan said: "Help me take the food for Heizi in the box." That was the chocolate she prepared for herself in advance. Women can use chocolate and Red Bull to supplement their bodies during childbirth. She didn't take out Red Bull, but chocolate could be taken out as cake.
Of course, some people would prepare eggs, but she couldn't eat dry eggs.
Qin Fang quickly picked up the small box and took out the chocolates: "Yan Yan, do you want to eat some snacks? I'll feed you." He sat at the head of the bed and fed the chocolates to Yang Haiyan.
Yang Haiyan ate the chocolates, and the bitter taste refreshed her. At this time, the voice of Nanny Lian outside: "General, the old servant has boiled eggs for Madam."
