After Lu Feng set off on the expedition, Xu Mu felt a little uneasy. It was still autumn, and the academy's classes had not yet ended, so Xu Mu was reluctant to go.
There was no Lu Feng to pick up and drop off after the academy. Xu Yu'an, Qingle, Sun Yao and others have now entered the champion class. He is the only one in the third flower class, and he has no intention of learning anything.
Ji Shi and Li Shi discussed it a little, and nodded in agreement.
Xu Mu didn't go to the academy for the imperial examinations. Since he couldn't learn anything, and he was a little bit nervous, if he went to the academy, it would be enough for them to worry.
Fortunately, Mrs. Li was about to give birth, and Xu Mu took care of him in his yard every day, taking his mind off Lu Feng to some extent.
The autumn township exam is about to begin, followed by the spring general exam, and the palace exam after the general exam. The imperial examination was held every three years and was divided into autumn and spring. It was a key way for the imperial court to select talents.
Sun Yao, Xu Yu, An Qingle and others are now preparing for the autumn season.
An Qingle knew that Xu Mu would probably be lethargic after Lu Feng's expedition, but he didn't have time to come to accompany him every day. And the rest of them couldn't, because there was a difference between men and women, and they couldn't get too close to Xu Mu when Lu Feng was away.
Fortunately, Xu Mu was distracted by the child in Li's womb, and Ji's found time to find him to do something and teach him to take care of the house, so Xu Mu didn't have time to think about Lu Feng during the day.
But whenever at night, dragging his tired body on the bed, Xu Mu would think of Lu Feng's handsome face, those gentle eyes when he looked at him, his soft lips when he kissed him, and hugged him. strong arms...
He thought about her, thinking about her from heart to body, thinking about not being able to sleep at night, thinking that he would cry when he heard someone mention her.
In addition to thinking, he was also afraid, worried about whether she had reached the frontier now, whether it was cold there, whether she had been on the battlefield, and whether she would be injured...
After tossing and turning, it usually took a long time for Xu Mu to fall asleep.
It was only half a month after Lu Feng left, and Xu Mu had lost a lot of weight. The distressed Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Li tried to get him something to eat and find something to do for him.
At noon Xu Mu came to accompany Mr. Li to eat. Mrs. Li saw that he only ate rice, so he put some vegetables into his bowl in distress, and sighed, "You are not afraid of choking."
Xu Mu bit his chopsticks and hummed.
Li Shi still wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his abdomen. As soon as the painful hand was loosened, the chopsticks fell on the table.
"Dad?" Xu Mu raised his head when he heard the movement, and saw that Mrs. Li was frowning, biting her lip, and putting her hands on her stomach, her face pale.
Xu Mu instantly understood what was going on, and hurriedly came over to support him, then turned around and instructed his servants, "Hurry up and ask Wenfu to come over! Go and ask Uncle Ji to come over, and send someone to inform my mother!"
Li Shi had a stomachache and had no strength to speak at all. He leaned his head slightly on Xu Mu, clasped his fingers in his hands, and waited for the pain for a while to pass.
Xu Mu stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around Li's shoulders, snuggling with him silently.
The labor pains are like this one after another. Mrs. Li has just started, and it is relatively short.
Xu Mu and the waiter helped Li to walk to the room that had been prepared next door. Just as he was told to lie down, Mrs Ji arrived.
Ji Shi hurriedly came over and took Li Shi's hand, and asked, "How is it? How are you feeling now?"
Having had the experience of giving birth once, Mrs. Li was not at all flustered. She smiled softly at Mrs. Ji and Xu Mu with the corners of her mouth pulled. Her voice was a little soft because the pain had just subsided, "It's alright, don't worry."
Mr. Ji didn't believe Li's words at all, and asked Xu Mu to accompany him, while he was busy giving orders. Li's family is nearly 30 years old, so don't be careless about having children.
The pain in Li's stomach was stronger for a while, Xu Mu had already been driven out by Wen's husband, and waited outside with Ji's.
Ji Ruan strode out from the yard, knowing that Mrs. Li was going to give birth, without saying a word, he opened the curtain and went in.
Ji Shi quickly reached out and grabbed Ji Ruan, and said, "It's useless if you go in, just stay outside and wait."
Ji Ruan's brows were wrinkled in worry, and she walked around beside the curtain, but refused to sit down.
Xu Mu was also worried that a man giving birth just walked around the gate of hell. Although he had never given birth himself, he knew that it was not easy to give birth to a child.
In the room, Mrs. Li could not stop moaning because of the pain. The three hearts trembled when they heard it, and they all stood up uncontrollably, and no one could sit still.
"No, I have to go in." Ji Ruan clenched her hands tightly, and despite Ji's dissuasion, she opened the curtain and stepped in.
Xu Mu wanted to follow him in, but Mr. Ji stopped him, "Just let your mother in, there can't be too many people inside, you wait outside with me."
In the room, Mrs. Li, who was gritting her teeth and patiently, heard the voice of Wenfu saying that she was falling, and she couldn't help opening her eyes. She turned her head and saw Ji Ruan, who was squatting by the bed.
His heart softened, the tip of his nose was sour, and he asked her softly, "Why did you come in?"
Ji Ruan was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he held his hand carefully and said, "I'm worried about you... No matter what happens later, I'll be here with you, don't be afraid, you'll be fine with me."
Ji Ruan was used to seeing life and death, but when she saw Li's face pale and weak and moaning on the bed, her heart was lifted high, and she wished that the person who lay down and suffered was herself.
Li Shi had been married to her for so long, so she could naturally hear what Ji Ruan meant. She means that if there is an accident later, he is absolutely not allowed to do anything.
The child and him, this woman chose him without any hesitation...
Li Shi's eyes were a little wet, and he couldn't help but think of the time when the candied fruit was raw. It was the first time he had given birth to a child, and it was painful and frightening.
She is a literati and pays the most attention to those who pay attention to the rules. The husband said that the room was full of blood and yin, and women were not allowed to come in. Although she looked at him worriedly, she did not mean to disobey the crowd, and kept standing at the door.
At that time, he thought that his wife and master loved him, at least he tried to come in. He gritted his teeth and stubbornly gave birth to the candied fruit.
But now, Ji Ruan was squatting in front of his bed with a worried look on his face, ignoring the steady husband's words behind him, and only seeing himself. I missed it and didn't hear it...
Li knew that it was wrong for him to compare the two, but every time he thought about it, he felt that Ji Ruan had treated him so well that he was willing to suffer this kind of crime again and give her a few more children...
Three of the best things the candied mother has done to him in her life.
First, there is no servant. Although he does not love him as much as Ji Ruan, he is willing to raise his eyebrows with him. They have been married for several years, but they have never quarreled.
The second is to leave him a candied fruit and marry her. Mrs. Li has never regretted it. Even after she left, he still misses him so much. Thanks to the candied fruit, he can endure it.
The third is to stop worrying about the eyes of the world when he is dying, and allow him to remarry without treating the candied fruit badly, so that he can meet Ji Ruan who regards him as his life.
Li's tears flowed uncontrollably. He clenched Ji Ruan's fingers tightly and took a deep breath following Wenfu's instructions.
This child is not as easy as it was when the candied fruit was born. The husband said that the child may be a little old and it is more difficult to give birth. Li felt that his eyes were getting dark, and he was so tired that he wanted to sleep like this, but his subconscious told him that he couldn't sleep yet.
Ji Ruan saw that Li Shi was a little weak, and her heart suddenly hung in her throat. The chill climbed from her back to her scalp. The frozen Ji Ruan's hand holding Li Shi's fingers was shaking, softly calling his nickname.
Li Shi's eyeballs moved under his lids, but he couldn't open them.
Ji Ruan took a deep breath and said to the steady husband next to him: "No matter what, I want the adults to be fine, otherwise, no one will want to go out of this room today!"
These stable husbands are all experienced "old" people, and I have heard a lot of such threats, but Ji Ruan is a general who has led soldiers and killed people. It is beyond the reach of others.
For a moment, the sweat on the foreheads of several stable husbands turned into fine cold sweat.
Outside the curtain, Xu Mu kept listening to the movement inside with his ears fixed. When he heard Ji Ruan's words, his body froze, and he rushed in after shouting daddy.
He had been looking forward to his father's health all his life, and at such a critical time, he must not have an accident.
Xu Mu ran in and knelt on the other side of the bed, holding Li's other hand. Seeing that Mrs. Li was weak and weak, her breathing was shallow, tears fell instantly, and her voice choked, "Dad, you said that there will be no candied fruit left. You want to watch me get married."
Following Xu Mu's words, the male doctor invited from the palace and a silver needle pierced Li Shi's body.
The pain caused Li's consciousness to slowly return to the cage. When he opened his eyes, he saw the wife and son in front of the bed. The two faces were not similar at all, with the same fear and fear. Xu Mu's face was full of tears, and Ji Ruan's eyes were red.
Li Shi blamed himself for having a child, but it made the two feel like parting from life and death.
He smiled softly, the pain under his body deformed the smiling face he pulled out, but insisted: "It's okay, I was just a little tired just now... Now that I have enough rest, I'll be fine."
Seeing that he regained his strength, Wenfu quickly seized the opportunity and asked him to exert himself.
With his wife and son by his side, Mrs. Li felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. She clenched one's hand in one hand and gritted her teeth hard.
Ji Shi, who had been waiting outside, felt relieved as a baby's cry came out of the room, and suddenly fell into the chair with no strength.
Fortunately, the father and daughter are safe and sound.
Xu Mu stared blankly at the back of his hand that was pinched by Li's nails. His hand was numb, and he felt no pain at all. Now, after hearing the doctor say that the father and daughter are safe, his consciousness seems to be slowly returning, and he feels a little pain in his hand after realizing it.
Li fell asleep tiredly, Ji Ruanzheng lowered his head to wipe the sweat from his face, and was so focused that he didn't even glance at his daughter.
Wen Fu was holding the newly born little girl, not knowing if he should get close. The general didn't seem to like children that much, and the congratulations from his mouth stuck in his throat, and there was nowhere to say it.
A glimpse of Xu Mu who was standing beside him, he immediately put a smile on his face again, and walked over with the child in his arms, "Young master, look at your sister, she is a pure and innocent child."
Only then did Xu Mu move, and carefully took the sister from Wenfu's hand with a smile on his face, and blurted out two words, "Honey."
Sister, I hope your presence can make up for the pain Daddy just suffered, and make his future days as sweet as honey.
The younger sister, who was crying with her mouth open, heard the word "honey", and slowly stopped crying, hummed twice, and fell asleep with her two pink fists clenched.
The smile in Xu Mu's eyes deepened, and he called again, "Honey."
Ji Ruan took over the child after the Li family was settled.
When Mr. Ji came in, he knew that Mrs. Li was just tired and fell asleep, so he was relieved and asked someone to cook chicken soup for him.
Seeing the soft smile on Ji Ruan's face, Xu Mu felt sour in his heart. He stretched out his hand, touched his sister's face lightly, and said, "Mother, why don't you just call your sister Honey?"
A girl's name was a bit masculine, but Ji Ruan agreed, looking at her daughter who had not opened her eyes, and said seriously: "Honey. It's not easy for your father to give birth to you, you will have to let him be like candy in the future. Just be happy and sweet." She said this again now, her daughter can't remember it, it's okay, just tell her often in the future.
Ji turned his head to make a chicken soup, and the child's nickname was decided by the two of them. He felt that the name would be laughed at in the future, and the child might not be happy when he grew up, but seeing that both of them were full of joy, he didn't say anything.
When Xu Mu picked up a pen to write a letter to Lu Feng, he sat at the table and hesitated for a long time on the rice paper in front of him before writing.
Mistress, do you know? The sister is super nice.
When I saw my father giving birth to a child just now, and my mother's fearful expression on the side, I couldn't help but think of you. If the person lying on it was me, how could I have the heart to see you look like this.
So I thought, can I not have children, I don't want you to be afraid because you are afraid of losing me.
Mother, who is so resolute and reticent, couldn't help but redden her eyes just now. If you were like this, I would be so miserable.
But now holding my soft sister, I hesitate again. Although you are not obvious, I know that you also like children. If I give birth to our child, you must be happy, right
Xu Mu didn't write these words in the letter.
He only said that his father had given him a sister named Honey, who looked a bit like him, but more like his mother, but said nothing about the dangers of Li's childbirth.
Xu Mu privately didn't want Lu Feng to worry about him because of this, not to mention that the two were not married yet, and the child was still early.
