Chapter
The first child was born, and the second child was born smoothly not long after. Chen Jin forced himself to look at the child that Aunt Qian was holding. In fact, Chen Jin was a little blurred at this time and couldn't see clearly. Aunt Qian handed the child to An Yi to clean it and said, "Don't worry." The second child cried very little because he had been in his belly for a long time and his skin was also purple because of the pressing just now, but he was still alive.
Chen Jin stopped Aunt Qian's words and could no longer hold on to her eyes and fainted.
When Chen Jin woke up again, the room had been cleaned up, and Chu Xiuming was by her side. As soon as Chen Jin moved, Chu Xiuming noticed it, got up and walked over, and then carefully helped Chen Jin up. Chen Jin looked around and finally looked on the small bed. The bed was ordered early and surrounded by railings. The small mattresses, pillows and quilts inside were sewn by Chen Jin.
Chu Xiuming noticed Chen Jin's eyes and said, "The child was taken down to feed him."
Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming first asked Chen Jin to sit on the cushion, poured a cup of brown sugar water, fed Chen Jin and drank it, "Are you hungry?"
"Are the children all good?" Chen Jin felt better after drinking a glass of water and asked nervously.
Chu Xiuming put down the cup and sorted out the broken hair on Chen Jin's forehead. Her face was pale, her lips were not blood-colored, and she looked haggard, "It's all okay."
Chen Jin then breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Xiuming said, "Aunt Qian introduced a wet nurse. I asked An Yi and An Ning to be there. Aunt Qian also said that you are almost awake and the kitchen has food ready. I will bring you some to cushion a little."
"Okay." Chen Jin replied.
Chu Xiuming carefully tucked Chen Jin's quilt, and then he went out. Zhao Duan and Jia Si went out to do business. As soon as Jia went out to collect medicinal materials, Dr. Qian had just prepared the medicine and asked when he saw Chu Xiuming, "Are you awake?"
"Yeah." Chu Xiuming spoke.
Dr. Qian nodded, "Okay, I'll take her pulse later and then prescribe the medicine again." Then he took the medicine back.
Aunt Qian stewed the fish soup for Chen Jin, only some medicinal materials were placed in it, and no other seasonings were added, so the taste would not be good. However, the fish soup had been cooked for a long time. Aunt Qian put a bowl and handed it to Chu Xiuming, and then used a casserole to boil red dates and millet porridge.
When Chu Xiuming took the thing in, his face changed and walked to the edge of the bed. He saw Chen Jin crying silently at the empty bed. Chu Xiuming put down the bowl and wiped Chen Jin's tears carefully with a handkerchief. He knew that women during confinement should not cry, "What's wrong?"
"Is the child bad?" Chen Jin was still a little mud after waking up, so he didn't react. However, after Chu Xiuming went out, Chen Jin also woke up. If the child was fine, Chu Xiuming would not have moved the child away from her. Moreover, after she woke up, she did not ask anyone to carry the child over to her to see, unless the child was not good.
Chu Xiuming sighed, leaned over and kissed Chen Jin's eyes and said, "The children are all alive, but Nan Nan is just a little weak."
Chen Jin bit his lip and looked at Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming said, "Can I ask An Ning to bring the child over?"
"Okay." Chen Jin's voice was a little dumb.
Chu Xiuming spoke, "But you were hurt this time, and Dr. Qian also said you should raise your child well, so put the child in the house and let An Ning and the others take care of him."
Chen Jin nodded vigorously. In fact, the child was in the next room. Chu Xiuming went out and said to An Ning, then came back and sat by the bed. He did not feed Chen Jin to drink fish soup immediately, because he knew that Chen Jin could not eat at all at this time, so soon An Yi and An Ning brought the child over.
Chu Xiuming took the slightly older one first and said, "This is my sister Nannan."
The child was only one day old and it was not good-looking before it grew. Chen Jin saw that the child was not seriously injured. He slept soundly while his mouth was squirming. He reached out and touched it gently, and then looked at the other child. When he was pregnant, Dr. Qian and others said that although there were two children in his stomach, they were too weak and could hardly notice it.
Chu Xiuming carefully placed the child next to Chen Jin and took the younger one from An Yi's hand. Compared with her sister Nannan, her younger brother Xixi was much thinner and her face turned a little yellow. Chen Jin wanted to reach out to touch the child, but his hands were a little trembling. She looked at Chu Xiuming, and Chu Xiuming put the child in Chen Jin's arms and said with a gentle voice, "I have already let Dr. Qian see it. It's not a big deal, but I'm a little weak, so just keep it carefully."
Chen Jin looked down at the child and nodded. In fact, he knew in his heart that he was afraid that it was not as easy as Chu Xiuming said. Chu Xiuming also knew that he took the child from Chen Jin's arms and put it next to Chen Jin's side. Then An Ning went to the kitchen to serve a bowl of fish soup again, and then fed Chen Jin and started drinking.
After Chu Xiuming fed Chen Jin and drank a bowl of fish soup, Chen Jin looked at the child again, touched his fingers gently, and asked Chu Xiuming to carry the two children aside. Chu Xiuming cleaned up Chen Jin for a while, and then asked Dr. Qian to take Chen Jin's pulse again. After drinking the medicine, Chen Jin lay down and fell asleep.
Aunt Qian sighed softly and said nothing. An Yi held Aunt Qian's arm and said, "Aunt Qian, I'll help you down and rest for a while."
They didn't close their eyes much these two days, and even Aunt Qian couldn't sleep well. At this time, Chen Jin woke up, Aunt Qian could rest assured. They could hold on, but Aunt Qian was old after all.
Aunt Qian nodded, "There is millet porridge in the kitchen casserole. When someone wakes up, feed her some, so you can make some frangipani in."
An Yi agreed, but Aunt Qian didn't need An Yi and the others to send her away, so she went down to rest by herself. An Yi went to the house next to her to place the wet nurse.
An Ning looked at Chu Xiuming and said, "General, my wife is afraid she won't wake up for a short time. Why not be on the side and take a rest for a while, so I will take care of you first?"
Chu Xiuming spoke, "It's okay, go to the next room to rest."
An Ning said, "That slave and An Yi take turns to take care of the young lady and the young master."
Chu Xiuming nodded and said nothing. The two children were placed on the small bed beside him. An Ning gently untied the wrapped quilt for the two children, and then carefully covered them.
When Chen Jin woke up again, it was already dark. Chu Xiuming was not in the house. An Ning was holding the child and preparing to go out. Chen Jin sat up and asked, "Is the child hungry?"
An Ning heard the voice and said, "Mrs. I am about to carry the lady to feed her next door."
"Give it to me." Chen Jin was already much better at this time. An Ning sent the child over when he heard this, then asked Chen Jin to sit down and carried another child over. Although Nan Nan was a girl, he was very strong and suddenly pounced on Chen Jin's chest. His little mouth squirmed and sucked hard. Chen Jin was full of milk. He was a little swollen and uncomfortable just now. He gently hugged the child, turned his head to look at the younger one, and asked, "Where is the husband?"
"The general and Mr. Zhao will discuss some things and will be back soon." An Ning said with a gentle voice, "An Yi was cleaning the wet nurse in the room next to her. Aunt Qian said that the wife would wake up once in the evening, so she went to prepare food for her wife in advance."
Chen Jin nodded and said nothing.
An Ning hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Madam, the young master is weak, he squeezes out the milk and feeds it with a spoon."
Chen Jin pursed her lips and responded softly. Seeing that An Ning had not brought the child over for a long time, An Yi went to the house and saw that Chen Jin was feeding the child. After she talked to the wet nurse there, she went to the kitchen to pick up the things, took the bowl and spoon, and carried hot water.
When An Yi came back, Chen Jin had already finished feeding Nan Nan. An Yi quickly burned the bowl and spoon with hot water, and then cleaned her hands and helped Chen Jin squeeze some milk into the bowl. Thanks to Chen Jin's quilt well during this period and Xixi ate very little. Chen Jin's milk was enough for the two children. An Ning was walking around the house with Nan Nan in her arms, gently stroked her back. After she burped her breasts, she turned for a while before she put her next to Chen Jin. The child was still too young and had eaten and fell asleep again.
Chen Jin tidied up his clothes and watched An Yi feed his younger son little by little with a spoon. Before his eyes were opened, he closed his eyes and hummed quietly. However, when the milk dripped on his mouth, he would open his mouth to eat. Chen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could eat it.
When Chu Xiuming came in, the two children had already fallen asleep again. Chen Jin did not sleep, but leaned against the cushion and was eating. When he saw Chu Xiuming, Chen Jin spoke, "An Yi will go and rest first."
An Yi and An Ning took turns to rest. After all, there were people around the children. They had already agreed just now. An Yi was just waiting for Chen Jin to finish her meal. Chu Xiuming didn't need her after he came. After the salute, she went down first. The wet nurse was arranged in a room separately. Because there was an agreement in advance, she could not walk around at will, but she gave enough money and was very leisurely feeding the child, so she was naturally willing. At this time, she was asleep honestly. An Yi locked the door from outside and then went to her room to rest.
Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"It's been used." Chu Xiuming stood by the charcoal basin for a while, dissipated the cold air on his body, and then sat next to Chen Jin. Because Zhao Duan was about to leave early tomorrow morning, he accompanied Zhao Duan to use the meal tonight. Zhao Duan wanted to send these letters back to the border town first, and then bring some people to the capital.
Chen Jin responded, lowered his head and continued to eat.
Chu Xiuming spoke, "The Empress Dowager has arrived in central Fujian, and the Imperial Heavenly Prison has selected the days for Emperor Cheng to be buried and Shen Zhi ascended the throne. The Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Revenue and others have all started preparing."
Chen Jin said oh, took a few more bites of millet porridge, then he paused and looked up at Chu Xiuming and said, "Are you leaving?"
"Wait a little longer." Chu Xiuming said warmly.
Chen Jin nodded. After eating, Chu Xiuming cleaned up all the bowls, wiped Chen Jin's face with a hot towel, his neck and hands, and then served her to rinse her mouth. After finishing, Chen Jin lay down and said, "You don't have to worry about Xixi's affairs, it will be fine."
"Okay." Chen Jin responded, turned his head and looked at the small bed, and it took him a long time to close his eyes and fall asleep.
Chu Xiuming gently rubbed Chen Jin's frown brows. Seeing that she had stretched, he sighed in his heart, patted An Ning's shoulders gently, and asked her to rest on the soft couch next to her. He sat by the small bed and looked at the two children lying side by side on the small bed. It was not obvious to see them separately, but when they were put together, the two children did not seem to be born on the same day, "It must be fine."
