Perhaps because Xiaocao was frightened when she gave birth, Zhu Junyang secretly asked for contraceptive methods from the imperial physician. Therefore, until Xiao Baozi was five years old, he was still the only child in Prince Xu's mansion.
Concubine Jing is so anxious! Why are they all like this? The eldest daughter-in-law also gave birth to her first child and was not pregnant for many years. It was after Xiaocao helped nurse her that she gave birth to her third grandson and eldest granddaughter one after another. The mother of the second daughter-in-law died young, and there was no female elder around her to watch her. The coldness of the palace was severe. After getting married, she took care of her for two years before it blossomed and gave birth to three boys in succession.
But, no! This little daughter-in-law is a doctor herself, even if she hurt her body after giving birth to a little bun, she should be recuperated after all these years? But why has it been five years, but there is no movement in the stomach? Could it be said that "doctors do not heal themselves"? Concubine Jing whispered to the man behind her back several times, and finally couldn't help but found her youngest son: "Yang'er, do you want to find an imperial doctor and show it to your wife?"
Zhu Junyang, who had just led the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Daying Camp to suppress the bandits, and came back victorious, was shocked when he heard the words, and asked repeatedly: "What's wrong with the little grass girl? What's wrong? I saw her just now and asked my son to play hide-and-seek with her." ? Could it be that you are trying to make your son happy?"
Zhu Yunxuan's little son looked helpless: Father, are you sure it wasn't your son who played games with your daughter-in-law just to make her happy
The five-year-old Xiao Baozi has a relatively precocious temperament and feels a bit mature. He has long dismissed "childish" games such as hide-and-seek, pushing hoops, and throwing sandbags, okay? What he is more interested in now is writing, riding and archery, and practicing martial arts.
All these are enjoyable, but his mother and concubine don't think so, and feel that the son is so pitiful, and he was "forced" by his father to learn literature and martial arts at a young age. Such a small person squatted under the sun for more than half an hour, his little face was flushed red from the sun, and beads of sweat dripped down. That distressed mother! In order not to obliterate the child's nature, Yu Xiaocao played parent-child games with her son whenever she had free time. But how did she know that those fun games she thought were so childish in her son's eyes.
But Xiao Baozi, who loves his mother and concubine, sees that his father and king often go out on official business for many days, and thinks that his mother and concubine are too lonely, and wants him to accompany him. As a filial man, although he is impatient to play childish games, he still has the patience to accompany his mother and concubine and make her happy. Lao Laizi is over eighty years old, and he still wears colorful clothes to entertain his relatives, so why not sacrifice himself and play those unnutritious and technically unskilled games with his mother and concubine
However, his father obviously couldn't appreciate his filial piety, and felt that his daughter-in-law must accompany his energetic son, who was tired and sick. The anxiety in my heart! I scolded my "ignorant" son in my heart!
Seeing that her son was thinking about it, Princess Jing hurriedly pulled him back, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "No, my concubine is asking you, your daughter-in-law's body...is there nothing wrong with it?"
"What could be wrong?" Zhu Junyang suddenly remembered that his daughter-in-law is also good at medicine, and there is no one in Ming Dynasty who can surpass her in pharmaceutical skills. There is a small problem, just take some medicine and it will be fine. What does the concubine mother mean by saying this
"She's fine...then..." Princess Jing hesitated for a long time, watching her son hesitate to speak. Is there something wrong with the son? Generally, men have strong self-esteem and are unwilling to accept this reality. It is not necessarily impossible to avoid diseases and avoid medical treatment.
"Mother Concubine, what exactly are you trying to say? Can you stop saying half and keep the other half?" Princess Jing faltered, her eyes still looking at him from time to time. Zhu Junyang's heart trembled when his mother concubine looked at him, and he couldn't help asking.
Princess Jing expressed her worries. Zhu Junyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Concubine mother! My son is in good health! You, put your energy on the second brother's daughter. The second sister-in-law is not like someone who can take care of a child. You have to be more supportive."
"Since both of you are in good health, then... how come Xuan'er is five years old and hasn't given him a younger brother or sister yet?" Princess Jing finally explained the reason for her visit.
Zhu Junyang couldn't laugh or cry, and coaxed his mother and concubine back: "You, don't worry! I will definitely add a grandson or granddaughter to you next year, okay?"
"You can add as much as you want! It's not something you can control..." Princess Jing returned to Prince Jing's mansion muttering, and then dragged the man who had "retired" at home and talked about it for a long time. Prince Jing was so annoyed that he couldn't stay at home any longer, so he went to Duke Rong's mansion every day to find his old friends to play chess and drink tea.
Xu Wang, who was suspected of "ability" by his mother and concubine, dragged his little daughter-in-law to prove his strength throughout the holiday. Xiaocao's waist is sore every day, and her legs are weak, and she keeps scolding her man for being crazy, why is he crazy. The filial little bun, seeing his mother often supporting her waist, thought she was sick, so he thoughtfully helped her back and massaged her waist, and solemnly reminded her to rest more.
With Xu Wang's unremitting efforts, Xu Wang's mansion finally spread the good news that the princess was pregnant again. At this time, the yield of winter wheat seeds, which happened to be 1,000 jin per mu, finally stabilized. The common people said that the young son of Concubine Xu was born with good luck.
At this time, Daming truly achieved the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people. In the south of the Yangtze River, hybrid rice with a yield of more than 1,000 jin has been promoted. The Zajia rice breeding base has expanded to 10,000 mu, providing improved varieties for most of the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River.
Mr. Wu was promoted to three ranks in a row because of his meritorious service in researching hybrid rice. However, he turned down the good opportunity to work in Beijing and insisted on staying in the breeding farm in Jinling to continue improving hybrid rice. Because Mr. Zhi Suuchi once mentioned that it is not a dream for super hybrid rice to produce two thousand catties per mu. Mr. Wu has been fighting for this all his life! Mr. Wu's achievements were later recorded in the annals of history and became the praised "father of rice"...
High-yield wheat seeds, as well as high-yield crops such as corn and potatoes, are widely planted in the north. Especially in the poorest Northwest, and the Northeast, where only one season of grain can be harvested a year, these high-yield crops have freed the people there from the threat of starvation.
The Xishan Armament Station under Xu Wang's hands is producing more and more sophisticated weapons. Whether it is cold weapons of fine steel or hot weapons such as muskets and cannons, the production volume is increasing year by year. The Armament Institute also improved the firearms and produced muskets that could fire continuously, and the range and accuracy were improved a lot.
In short, Daming is like a giant dragon, entrenched in the east of the world. The small countries around them, the warlike peoples in the north, had to lie on their stomachs, for fear of being swept away by the soaring dragon's tail. Fortunately, the emperor is not a militant ambitious person, and has no plans to annex the surrounding small countries. Otherwise... Daming's territory will expand to the extreme!
In the eyes of the common people and the courtiers, Xu Wang and his wife, the great heroes, are suffering from morning sickness, and the other is distressed by their daughter-in-law, and they are walking around in a hurry.
"What's the matter? When I was pregnant with Xuan'er, everything was fine. Why did I vomit what I ate during this pregnancy? In just a few days, the girl has lost several pounds!" Zhu Junyang saw that his wife usually likes to eat shrimp Running away, as soon as the daughter-in-law smelled the smell, she vomited profusely, and asked the maid to withdraw quickly, brought a glass of water beside her, and served her to rinse her mouth with her own hands.
Yu Xiaocao vomited so much that she didn't even have the strength to speak, she looked at her man tearfully, with a very aggrieved expression. He was obviously very hungry, but he vomited whatever he ate. In the past few days, there was also Lingshi water supporting her, otherwise her body would have to be dragged down.
Zhu Junyang was so distressed that he didn't know what to do. He stared at his wife's stomach and said, "Why is this child so different from his brother? He's torturing his mother so much. After he is born, he must be taught a lesson."
The weeping eldest son Zhu Yunxuan, who was beside his mother and concubine, had never seen his mother and concubine suffer such a serious crime. Hearing this, he stared at his mother's stomach displeasedly with phoenix eyes that were very similar to his father's: brother My sister is not good, so I will take good care of them for my mother in the future, so as not to cause trouble for my mother and make her suffer.
In the long years to come, Zhu Yunxuan's young son gave full play to the role of the elder brother and set strict demands on his younger brothers and sisters. The little buns in the back are not afraid of the cold-faced father and king, let alone the gentle mother and concubine, but they are only afraid of this ridiculously beautiful elder brother who smiles all day long. This is something.
In the first three months of this pregnancy, Yu Xiaocao vomited almost everything she ate. Even if Yang Liu put down the business under his hand and cooked delicious medicinal meals for the master himself, it didn't change the situation.
Xiaocao, who was in the early stages of pregnancy, was in excruciating pain and often vomited bile. In order to ensure the nutrition of the mother and fetus, she had to force herself to eat. Then spit, then eat. She was not fat in the first place, but she was almost as thin as a reed stick.
Xiaocao's mother-in-law, godmother and mother-in-law, Princess Jing, were all worried and moved into Prince Xu's mansion to take care of her. Knowing that she can eat some fresh fruits, the orchards, greenhouses, and cold storages on the Zhuangzi all changed their ways to send in-season, out-of-season, and refrigerated fruits to Xu Wang's Mansion.
But the child in Xiaocao's belly has a changeable appetite. I could eat a few bites of apples today, but I vomited before I even took a bite the next day, but I could eat a few grapes... The news spread outside somehow, and everyone who heard it said that Princess Xu had a lot of property. , There are many kinds of fruits, there is really no way to change to another one.
This torture continued until three months later, when all symptoms stopped abruptly. Yu Xiaocao's appetite gradually improved. With Yangliu and the cook from Xu Wang's mansion, they quickly brought back all the meat lost by the master.
Yu Xiaocao felt that the child in her womb would definitely be picky and picky in the future. Today I learned to eat spicy food. The boiled fish is red and there is a layer of chili floating on it. My mouth is so spicy that I lose consciousness, but I still eat deliciously. The red peppers in the spicy chicken were fried until they were burnt and fragrant. She picked up the peppers and could eat half of the plate. Concubine Jing said happily: "Sour children and hot girls, this child must be a delicate little princess. One boy and one girl, make up the word 'good'"
But the next day, she likes to eat sour food again. She could eat a plate of sour green plums without changing her expression. She ate two or three of the lemons brought back from Nanyang without blinking. Her mother and her mother-in-law, fearing that she would make her teeth sour if she ate too much, took turns staring at her to prevent her from eating more.
Sometimes, I am very interested in food with strong smell. For example, the stinky stinky tofu and the sour durian, she enjoyed them all.
At five or six months, her belly looked like an inflated balloon, much larger than the average pregnant woman. However, with the "previous record" of the first child, everyone didn't take it to heart. However, less than seven months later, the delivery room was ready, and the midwife was invited into the mansion. I'm afraid that she will be caught off guard like when she was born.
However, this baby was not as impatient as his (her) brother's, who stayed in the mother's womb for more than nine months. When she was about to give birth, Yu Xiaocao's belly was unbelievably big, and it was so thin that it was almost transparent, which made people worry that it would burst at any time. Her leg was swollen like a white radish, and once she pressed a deep hole, she couldn't wear all her shoes, so she walked around dragging her man's shoes. She doesn't like to wear the special shoes given to her by the sewing room.
When the fetus was just seven months old, Wang Xu, who was on leave at home, wandered around his daughter-in-law every day. Especially when she was walking in his big shoes, he was afraid that she would be tripped by them, so he carefully supported Xiaocao like Li Lianying was serving Lafayette.
Xiaocao's leg cramps in the middle of the night, and tears flow from the pain. He will get up and gently massage her to relieve the symptoms. The stomach is too big, and he wakes up frequently every night, and he is also carrying it to clean the room. Soak your feet every day, massage your calves, never pretend to be someone else's hands, and carry out the twenty-four filial piety to the end.
The director of the imperial hospital had reminded them that there might be more than one baby, and that all baby products were well prepared. When the dragon and phoenix twins were born, they were not caught off guard.
However, Xiaocao's birth was not as smooth as the first one. After three or four hours of tossing, the two little ones came into this world slowly. Because they were born at full term, the weight of Xiaomantou and Xiaoguozi was about the same as when their elder brothers were born, one was five catties and four taels, and the other was five catties and two taels. The loud crying is enough to prove that the two little guys are in good health.
After the two little bean sprouts grow up, they often misidentify the gender of the little ones without knowing it. There is no other reason, the boy baby, Xiao Mantou, looks 80% similar to his mother. The round and cute almond eyes, thick and long eyelashes are exactly the same as Xiaocao. As for the female baby, she inherited her father's phoenix eyes, especially the pair of handsome eyebrows, which made people mistake her gender.
Zhu Junyang obviously prefers the second son who looks like a little daughter-in-law, and he hugs him in his arms whenever he is free and is reluctant to let go. Concubine Jing, on the other hand, prefers her little granddaughter. She often fantasizes about what her youngest son's facial features would look like if she was born on a girl's body. And the little granddaughter fulfilled her imagination—exactly the same as when she dressed her youngest son in women's clothing.
When Yu Xiaocao was giving birth, she almost bleeds heavily, hurt her vitality, and was forced by a man to have a confinement. And Zhu Junyang was also frightened by the danger of his wife's childbirth, and secretly decided in his heart that this child would never be born again. He secretly took the "sterilization pill" made by his wife.
According to historical records, King Xu and Princess Xu, two sons and one daughter, who were over a hundred years old, died of no illness on the same day...
