marquis of jingan

Chapter 479
When the eldest princess from the emperor's side was born, Shen Yi was as anxious as an ant here.

He rushed back last night. After he came back, he had just spent the night with his wife, and before he had time to return to the palace, his daughter-in-law gave birth.

Fortunately, Boss Xu is quite capable in Jiankang City now, so he found two top stable women and two gynecologists on standby to ensure that the mother and child are safe and sound.

But even so, Shen Yi's forehead was still covered with sweat. He walked back and forth at the door of the delivery room at first, and then his legs became a little weak. He sat on a chair beside him, taking deep breaths from time to time to calm himself down.

Behind Shen Yi, there were still two middle-aged men standing.

One of the middle-aged men held a cup of hot tea in his hand, but he did not pass it to Shen Yi, but to another middle-aged man with a long beard. His tone was somewhat respectful: "Dear-in-law, let's have a cup of tea." , don’t worry too much, nothing will happen.”

The one who said this was naturally Shen Yi's father, Shen Zhang.

Not only Shen Zhang came to Jiankang, but Shen Yi's brother Shen Heng also came to Jiankang to prepare for Hongde's nine-year provincial examination.

Because his daughter was about to give birth, Lu Anshi, the head of Ganquan Academy, also followed him to Jiankang. At this time, Master Lu, who was well-known in the official circles of Shilin, had no expression on his face, but the girl under the wide sleeves His hands also trembled slightly.

After all, Mrs. Shen in it is his only daughter, and she is the only daughter who is dependent on him for life.

Lu Anshi reached out to take the glass of water, put it aside, and shook his head slightly: "It's okay."

He glanced at Shen Zhang and said, "Sit down and have a rest, in-laws."

When the two middle-aged people were talking, Shen Heng on the side also walked up to Shen Yi. He took Shen Yi's hand and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't worry too much. I woke up this morning to make a fortune. .”

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi glanced at this brother who grew up like him, and said helplessly, "When did you learn divination?"

Shen Heng said with a smile: "Master Lu has a Taoist friend who lived in the academy for a few months this year. I often went to deliver meals to him, so he taught me a little bit. I just got bored in studying, so I followed suit. A little relief."

While the two brothers were talking, the door of the delivery room was pushed open by Mrs. Wen, a somewhat burly middle-aged woman, opened the door and looked at the men waiting at the door, with a happy expression on her face: "Congratulations, masters and young masters! "

Wen Po smiled happily: "Congratulations to your family, you have a young master, and you have a baby!"

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately stepped forward, grabbed the sleeve of Wen Po, with a trembling voice: "Where is my wife?!"

Wen Po was taken aback by Shen Yi who suddenly rushed up, and then quickly said: "Master, Madam is fine, mother and child are safe, mother and child are safe..."

Hearing the words "mother and child are safe", Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He only felt that his legs were a little weak, and he didn't care much at the moment, and stumbled towards the delivery room.

And Shen Zhang and Lu Anshi also followed Shen Yi into the delivery room.

Shen Heng walked at the back, took out the reward silver that he had prepared from his sleeve, and handed it to the steady woman, with a slightly apologetic smile on his face: "My brother's mind is agitated, there is a conflict, Please forgive me."

After receiving the reward, the steady woman immediately regained her smile and bowed to Shen Heng again and again to thank her.

Shen Heng shook his head at her, then walked into the delivery room with his hands behind his back, and went to visit his sister-in-law and eldest nephew.

At this time, in the delivery room, the child had already been wrapped in swaddling clothes and held in Shen Zhang's arms, while Shen Yi and Lu Anshi surrounded the bed and asked how Lu Ruoxi was doing.

After knowing that Lu Ruoxi was indeed fine, the two men turned their attention to the crying child in swaddling clothes. Shen Yi took the child from his father Shen Zhang's arms and hugged him in his arms.

As soon as the child was in his hands, a wonderful feeling of being connected by blood came to his heart. Shen Yi cautiously stretched out his hand and touched the child's face. The child who was still crying was miraculously quiet after being touched by Shen Yi. .

Seeing this, Shen Yi was overjoyed, and couldn't help leaving a few tears in his eyes. He looked up at Lu Anshi and said, "Father-in-law, please give the child a name?"

Lu Anshi stood where he was, staring at the child in a daze.

This great Confucian who has experienced many things in the world is actually a little panicked.

"This...for a while...my mind is also confused."

"The ancient sages said that the sophistication of human feelings is writing."

Shen Heng on the side smiled and said, "How about naming it Shen Lian?"

Hearing this name, while Lu Anshi and the others were still thinking about it, Shen Yi on the side turned pale, and shook his head decisively: "This name won't work."

Seeing his brother's determination, Shen Heng was a little curious: "Brother, is there any problem with this name?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, very stubbornly: "The name is pretty good, but I still don't want it..."

Shen Heng was basically brought up by Shen Yi. He naturally had no opinion on Shen Yi's decision, so he obediently kept quiet.

Shen Zhang on the side was in a good mood after having a grandson, and said with a smile: "There is no hurry to choose a name. Our family has a baby, so we should have fun anyway. I will take care of this matter now."

After all, Shen Zhang strode out.

Shen Heng smiled, and walked out with his father: "Men, brother, you stay here with my sister-in-law, and I will help my father."

After the father and son had left, Lu Anshi walked up to Shen Yi and glanced at the little baby in the swaddle. The Jiangzuo scholar was silent for a long time before he said a long sigh: "My little bird is also Becoming a parent…”

Shen Yi hugged the child and responded: "My son-in-law also thinks that life is wonderful..."

…………

The Shen family had a baby, so it was natural to decorate with lanterns and festoons, and throw a banquet to celebrate, but it was Shen Zhang and Shen Heng who took care of it, and Shen Yi spent most of the time with his wife and children.

Finally, it was night, and after his wife and children were sound asleep, Shen Yi left the room, asked Jiang Sheng to buy some side dishes, and went to Lu Anshi's room to drink with his father-in-law.

Seeing Shen Yi coming over with food and drinks, Mrs. Lu did not refuse. The two of them lit a stove and sat across the table in the cold winter.

Shen Yi reached out and poured Master Lu a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Men Master hasn't come to Jiankang for so many years, but he has come twice in the past two years. Uncle Zhao must be very happy."

Master Lu smiled dumbly: "I've already had two drinks with me. After your Uncle Zhao became a minister, you have a lot more time than before, and you are not as busy as before."

Shen Yi nodded with a smile and said: "The chief officer of the yamen naturally has a lot of leisure time. When my son-in-law was in charge of the mansion's newspaper department, he only stayed in the yamen for half a day every day."

Hearing these words, Master Lu glared at Shen Yi first, and then asked, "How about your trip to the south?"

"not bad."

Shen Yi respected the little old man with a glass of wine. After drinking this glass of wine, he said with a smile: "When next spring begins, we should be able to switch from defense to offense and go to sea to wipe out Japanese pirates. It's a pity..."

Master Shen shook his head slightly: "Although there are credits, most of them can't be credited to my son-in-law."

"It doesn't matter."

Master Lu took a sip of his wine and said calmly, "At your age, being able to be the head of six departments is already very high. You don't need more credit for promotion. As long as your majesty remembers your credit, it will be good for you."

"So my son-in-law will go to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "Go tell Your Majesty about my achievements."
