That night, Tianwei poured out all her bitterness to her cousin, and the sisters hugged each other and stayed up all night. When it got dark, Zhao Rou and others had to say goodbye to Yelu Guanyin. Before leaving, they only politely begged Yelu Guanyin to treat their sister well.
How could Yelu Guanyin take her words seriously? Not even a man could take charge of the Jurchen's housework, let alone other people's female relatives. She secretly laughed at the humble Song women. The more proud she became, she only gave orders to the housekeeper. From then on, Tianwei had to wear that kind of coarse shirt and do the heaviest work in the kitchen.
Time passed, and towards the end of the year, Yelu Guanyin's due date finally arrived.
The Jurchens naturally knew that it was normal for a woman to conceive in the tenth month, and it was also normal in the eighth or ninth month. Jin Wushu thought that his son would be born later in the year, so he naturally did not rush to prepare.
But Yelu Guanyin was extremely anxious. She knew that she was about to give birth, so she hurriedly prepared all kinds of things for the baby. Everyone in the mansion knew that she was nervous about the baby, so she prepared in advance and didn't take it seriously.
Finally, on a snowy night, the son of Yelu Guanyin arrived.
Jin Wushu was still drinking outside. When he heard the news, he hurried home. He never expected that his son would be born so soon.
When he went back, he saw Yelu Guanyin lying on the bed, with a big fat boy wrapped up sleeping next to him. When he saw his wife's face covered with sweat and fatigue, he felt distressed and happy: "Thank you for your hard work, ma'am..."
Yelu Guanyin had just experienced the pain of childbirth and was low on energy. She only gently held her son's hand and said with a smile: "The slave family was in agony just now. They are only happy that the fourth prince finally has a successor..."
"It's just, why did the baby come so fast? I thought I wouldn't be able to meet him until after the new year..."
Yelu Guanyin's heart trembled. She had already thought about how to deal with this "oolong" problem many times, so she said: "The slave gave birth prematurely. The slave's family was not careful in working, so she gave birth prematurely..."
Jin Wushu didn't know what "premature birth" was, but seeing that she was reasonable, he didn't ask.
The maids were busy complimenting each other: "Look, the young master looks so much like the fourth prince..."
"Yes, yes, these eyes, this nose, this mouth... tsk tsk tsk, they are all exactly the same as the fourth prince..."
"Son, when you grow up, you must be as heroic as your father..."
“…”
Jin Wushu hugged his son happily. The newborn baby was more like a mouse, wrinkled, and it was impossible to tell whether it was beautiful or not. Jin Wushu looked around and couldn't see anything about the child that looked like him, but he could hear others He was very happy when he said that he was like a father. He immediately felt a kind of acquired affection for his eldest son and hugged him: "Son, from now on, I will give you all my father's good things..."
He teased his son, but did not neglect his wife. He stroked her face lovingly: "Madam, if you take good care of yourself, I will definitely reward you..."
The maids brought out various supplements and jewelry, and Yelu Guanyin closed her eyes tiredly, as if she had won a great victory.
Even though Yelv Guanyin has a eloquent tongue, there are so many female relatives in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, especially some older women, that they can't stop the fire. It has been less than seven months since Yelu Guanyin came to the house. Although this child was born prematurely, it is reasonable, but Premature children are generally born with deficiencies and weak in body, but Yelv Guanyin gave birth to a fat boy weighing seven or eight kilograms. He was fat and strong. It was the result of ten months of pregnancy. What kind of premature baby was that
People talk a lot, and no matter how afraid they are of Yelv Guanyin, they can't help but gossip.
On this day, Yelu Guanyin was teasing her son when she saw her maid Ahua come in. Yelu Guanyin asked casually: "What's going on outside?"
Ah Hua hesitated: "Madam..."
Seeing her hesitating, Yelv Guanyin said, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly..."
Ah Hua then whispered: "Some slaves who are ignorant of life and death are talking about the little master, saying that the little master is less than a month old..."
Yelu Guanyin was furious. She didn't expect that there would be such a bold slave in the mansion. It would be okay if this continues. She said with a frosty face: "Who are they?"
This incident involved a wide range of things.
More than a dozen servants participated in the discussion. Yelv Guanyin killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, and selected a dozen people whom he had never been accustomed to, including concubines and maids, and ordered each of them to be beaten with fifty sticks.
After this beating, the Fourth Prince's Mansion immediately cried out, especially those concubines who were relatively well-off in the past. How could they have ever been tortured like this? They cried and howled, begging for mercy.
Yelu Guanyin sat in the right seat and reprimanded loudly: "You despicable slaves, dare to talk behind your back like this and slander your own family. If you talk nonsense again, you will definitely be punished by the nine tribes."
Two of the concubines were too fragile to be beaten. As soon as the sticks fell to the ground, they had already died. Yelv Guanyin urgently ordered them to be carried down and thrown away. After struggling like this until evening, Jin Wushu came back from outside.
Jin Wushu was beaming with joy every day these days, accepting congratulations and gifts from those with better connections among the Jurchen nobles. The first thing he did when he entered the house every day was to see his son. He must talk to his son for a while before going to rest. Even, He knew that Yelv Guanyin did not like Tianwei and even stopped calling her Tianwei when he was sleeping with her. He was not willing to disobey this great man who had given birth to his son.
When he entered the door, he saw Yelu Guanyin holding her son with tears on her face. She was surprised and said, "Why is my wife like this?"
Yelv Guanyin still held her son in her arms, lay on his infant body, and kept crying.
Jin Wushu was so anxious that he sat down next to her, stretched out his arms to hug her and his son, and said anxiously: "What kind of injustice has the lady suffered?"
Yelu Guanyin did not answer, and Jin Wushu shouted angrily: "Here comes someone..."
Several maids came in and crossed their hands in fear. Jin Wushu asked angrily: "How did you serve the lady? Who made her angry?"
Yelu Guanyin twitched and said, "Fourth Prince, don't blame them, it's your fault..."
"ah?"
Seeing that she was crying sadly, Jin Wushu hurriedly waved his hand and dismissed the servant, and comforted her softly: "Madam, what happened?"
"Fourth Prince..."
"My lady, it's okay. If anything happens, I'll take care of it for you. What else is more important than my son now? My lady must take a good rest so that she can take good care of her son..."
Yelu Guanyin wiped her tears after hearing what he said: "Fourth Prince, I have been hiding something from you..."
"whats the matter?"
She stammered and hesitated for a while. Jin Wushu felt pity for her when he saw her pear blossoms with rain. He wiped her tears distressedly, and his voice was even gentler: "My lady has something to say, but it doesn't matter. It's a big deal. This prince also I will never blame you..."
"I would like to thank the Fourth Prince for his magnanimity." Yelu Guanyin leaned into his arms and gently held his son's hand. "The Fourth Prince didn't know something. At that time, I felt sorry for my son, so I kept the 'Millennium Ganoderma'... "
"ah?"
"I was so petty that I thought it would be better to leave such a good thing to the enemy than to leave the flesh and blood of the fourth prince, so I changed the Ganoderma lucidum and used an ordinary Ganoderma lucidum and put it in the box. I decocted the real Ganoderma lucidum and drank it myself... Precisely because of this, Ganoderma lucidum nourished the child, so he grew up quickly in the slave's belly and came to see his father in advance..." She touched Jin Wushu's chest with her hand, her voice aggrieved, "It is also because of this, The servants in the house are talking nonsense, saying that the son is not a premature baby... "
Jin Wushu simply didn't know what it was like. It turned out that the Ganoderma lucidum given to Hua Rong was not only damaged, but also fake. It was just an ordinary Ganoderma lucidum. The real Ganoderma lucidum had already been taken by Yelu Guanyin, so it caused her "Premature birth"!
When Yelu Guanyin saw that he was silent, her tears fell again: "I was also in a hurry. In the past, my family kept this Ganoderma lucidum to serve the fourth prince. However, when I saw that the fourth prince wanted to give it to an outsider, I suddenly became selfish and greedy, so I gave it to him. To nourish my son..."
Jin Wushu pinched their fat arms. This boy was extremely strong when he was born. Nomads put more emphasis on men than women, because the son is not only the head of the family, but also the main force in hunting and shooting on the battlefield. Therefore, the son grows up. Being strong often makes your parents more happy.
Yelu Guanyin observed the words and expressions, and only hugged her son: "The fourth prince is all the fault of the slave family. The slave family knows their mistakes. Even if the fourth prince punishes the slave family, the slave family does not complain at all..."
Jin Wushu sighed: "Forget it! It was King Qin who betrayed his trust first and stole Wenlong's child. As for the Ganoderma lucidum... Oh, just take it and forget it..."
A piece of Ganoderma lucidum was nothing at all. He had never known what injuries and illnesses required Ganoderma lucidum. On the one hand, he was the wife of an enemy general who did not take him seriously, and on the other hand, he was the biological mother of his own son. After taking Ganoderma lucidum, he was still healthy. What can be done? Should she be punished? Even if he is punished, can he still spit out the food he has already eaten
Yelu Guanyin saw that his face changed from gloomy to dull, and she was secretly happy in her heart. Almost every step was planned by her. She was still sad and aggrieved: "Fourth Prince, I have never disobeyed you on anything, only on this matter." , because of jealousy and stinginess, so... Fourth Prince, the slave family is guilty, the slave family is at fault, please take this for the sake of the child... "
Jin Wushu shook his head: "You don't need to say more. There is no need to mention the past."
At this time, Azhu, who was quietly standing aside, immediately added to the master's behalf without losing the opportunity: "Fourth Prince, you don't know something, and my wife has suffered a lot because of it. It is all thanks to this pig that my wife has raised the young master so fat and strong." Ganoderma lucidum, but other servants who don’t know why are talking about it..."
Only then did Jin Wushu remember the mess he had seen when he first entered the house. When he saw Yelu Guanyin, he was in tears again. He felt sorry for his son and loved the house as much as he loved the house. He loudly ordered: "Call those stupid servants to come up..."
The concubines, servants, butlers, etc. all knelt in darkness.
Jin Wushu said loudly: "My wife gave birth to my prince's son prematurely because she took the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. The effect of Ganoderma lucidum made my son grow strong. From now on, everyone must serve the young master and his wife with all their heart." , if there is even the slightest mistake, I will definitely not be able to spare you..."
Yelu Guanyin is originally a bunch of nonsense and full of loopholes, but the Jurchens have never sought medical treatment, their level of civilization is very low, and everyone believes in the power of "Millennium Ganoderma", plus the fourth prince personally spoke, who dares to say more? All of them bowed politely: "I obey my command... I hope that my young master and his wife will be healthy and live a long life..."
For the first time, Yelv Guanyin accepted the collective kneeling of all her concubines. She was truly as noble as a queen, with a smile on her face and said magnanimously: "From now on, everyone must serve the little master loyally."
"yes."
Jin Wushu thought for a while and then said: "Starting tomorrow, we will celebrate the 100th day of my little master." In the past, Jin people did not celebrate birthdays. After conquering the Liao and Song Dynasties, they learned to count days and celebrate festivals. Some Jurchen nobles' sons were born. , also began to learn from the Song people's habits of celebrating "full moon" or "100 days".
Because Jin Wushu was his first-born son, he naturally attached great importance to it. He had longed for the customs of the Southern Dynasties, so he immediately used this to make great arrangements for his son, making sure to tell the world that he was happy with Lin'er.
The entire Fourth Prince's Mansion was busy and full of joy, busy preparing for the young master's "100th Day" celebration. The invited guests were personally selected by Yelu Guanyin, and almost all the upper-class Jurchen nobles were taken into consideration.
