The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 150

Zhou Tianhao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he actually came to Xie's house this time for the expedition.It's just that Xie Yujiao is about to give birth, and he hasn't figured out how to talk to her, but who knows that she will speak out before him.

Zhou Tianhao was at a loss for words for a while, but his face felt a bit embarrassed, he just swallowed and said, "Jiaojiao, you are..."

Xie Yujiao had known for a long time that Zhou Tianhao was reluctant to part with her, but she also couldn't let go of the front line, so she simply leaned against his stiff armor and said in a low voice, "What's the matter? If you're embarrassed to say it, I'll say it for you. What else do you have?" Not satisfied?"

Zhou Tianhao's wheat-colored cheeks couldn't help turning slightly red, he only sniffed Xie Yujiao's hair and said, "How can I be dissatisfied, I've never been dissatisfied with you, I just think..." Zhou Tianhao is usually glib, At this time, she couldn't speak anymore, Xie Yujiao saw that he was so speechless, she just raised her head and sealed his lips.

The war spread extremely fast, and the one-year dormancy was already the limit for each other. Dayong rose again after a big defeat. After a year of training, the soldiers were no longer the mob they used to be. Withdrew the Tartars for hundreds of kilometers.

Although Zhou Tianhao was not on the battlefield this time, he was already very anxious, because if the Tartars pushed to the capital, they would definitely take a defensive offensive, and at this time, those dozens of artillery pieces were the last key.

"Brother Huang has made a decree to make me Marshal of Zhengbei University. I will go to the front line with artillery to support. I am afraid I will leave in a few days." After Zhou Tianhao finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to stroke Xie Yujiao's round belly. His first child, unfortunately, he probably won't be able to witness her coming into this world with his own eyes.

Xie Yujiao stretched out her hand to hold Zhou Tianhao's calloused palm, and said with a smile on her face: "That would be better, when you come back, she will probably already know how to call you daddy, you don't need to work hard, you got a good baby for nothing Woolen cloth!"

Zhou Tianhao knew that Xie Yujiao was deliberately making himself happy, but he couldn't be happy at this time.Seeing Xie Yujiao with her head down, Zhou Tianhao suddenly felt a heat on the back of her hand. It turned out that the tears in her eyes had already dripped down.

Zhou Tianhao held Xie Yujiao's cheek, lowered his head and gently kissed away the tears on her face, and said seriously, "Jiaojiao, wait for me to come back!"

Xie Yujiao nodded vigorously, reached out to hug Zhou Tianhao, and leaned into his arms, refusing to let go for a long time.

Three days later, Liu Fugen came back from the city with news from outside, that tomorrow is the day when the army will march out.For the past few days, Zhou Tianhao has been rectifying the military equipment in Tangshan's barracks. Tomorrow morning, the army will set off from Tangshan, pass by the east gate of Jinling City, and the emperor will personally send him to the Northern Expedition.

The country goes north, and the city is lost overnight, but it takes too much hardship and hard work to regain it.Xie Yujiao sighed lowly, she was afraid that when Zhou Tianhao came back, not only would the baby know how to call daddy, but she would also be able to run around all over the place.

When Mrs. Xu heard the news, she naturally sighed a little in her heart. Seeing that Xie Yujiao's face was not good-looking, she comforted her, "It's just that you are inconvenient now, so you can't go see him off in person."

Xie Yujiao was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, stretched out her hand to caress her belly, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you don't send him off, anyway, he will come back sooner or later."

When Mrs. Xu heard the words, she insisted on saying yes. At this time, Xie Yujiao leaned back a little, only to hear a splash from below, and the spring shirt under her body was already wet, her eyebrows were not wrinkled, and she was only clutching her stomach. Said: "Mother... mother, my stomach... my stomach hurts..."

Seeing that Xie Yujiao's lower body was wet, Mrs. Xu was startled. She knew that her amniotic fluid had broken, but she could count the time, but there was still more than half a month before the full day, so she was born prematurely.Mrs. Xu got up in a hurry, supported Xie Yujiao and lay down on the kang, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick... hurry to find Po Wen, and call the medical girl."

After Xu finished speaking, seeing Liu Fugen still standing below, she hurriedly said: "You...you go to the barracks quickly and tell the prince that Jiaojiao is going to give birth!"

Xie Yujiao was in pain at this time, and after listening to Xu Shi's order, she hurriedly stopped Liu Fugen and said, "Second steward, stop, don't go...don't go to the barracks, let him go with peace of mind!" Although Xie Yujiao had never given birth to a child But she knew in her heart that it was not easy to give birth to a child. If it was a quick one, it would take three or four hours. If it was a slow one, it would hurt for two or three days. She only started to feel pain at this time. If she told Zhou Tianhao, Wouldn't it delay his trip tomorrow.

If he is tied down by himself, and the commander-in-chief of the soldiers is not there, the morale of the army will be shaken at that time, but it is no joke!

"Jiaojiao, why are you bothering?" Seeing Xie Yujiao frowning in pain, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but wiped her tears.

Xie Yujiao only breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Without him, the child would have been able to deliver safely and smoothly. If nothing else, let him worry. If the auspicious time for the expedition is delayed, it will be an eternal sin."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu stopped crying, only nodded to Liu Fugen and said: "Second butler, just listen to Jiaojiao, you just wait at the door, when the prince leaves, let's announce the good news! "

Liu Fugen only nodded in agreement, and hurried outside to wait. For a while, the mother-in-law and maids came in busily carrying things. Xie Yujiao was helped into the delivery room, and there was another burst of pain. She bit the sweat towel Ziqiang held back the pain, cold sweat had already flowed from his forehead.

"Jiaojiao, you must bear with it, the first child will be a lot of trouble, and it will be fine in the future!" Madam Xu comforted Xie Yujiao while wiping the sweat off her forehead.

But Xie Yujiao really can't figure it out, it hurts so much... Having one is suffering, who wants to have a second!
"Ah..." Xie Yujiao yelled in tears, her body restrained from twisting.Mrs. Xu just held her hand, seeing her in such pain, she wished she could go instead.

At this time, the doctor girl and Mrs. Wen had already arrived. The nurse checked her pulse, and Mrs. Wen checked Xie Yujiao's finger opening again, and said, "Grandma's baby is still early, and I haven't seen any redness yet. Look at it, it's still there." It's not in the basin yet, the fetal position is right, I'm afraid we have to wait."

The female doctor stood aside and listened, and only said: "I have a life-saving pill left by the old doctor Zhou here. Let my wife take one first, it will be a little faster."

Although the Wen Po is the most famous Wen Po in this place, she has never delivered babies to the officials in the capital. She also heard about this medicine earlier in the morning, so she just said: "Since there is this medicine, it is the best. Give it to my aunt and wait for a few hours, I'm afraid it's almost done."

Xie Yujiao heard that the pain would last for several more hours, so she had no strength at all, so she just held Xu's hand, buried it in her palm and began to cry.

It really hurts so much!I hope that future generations with advanced technology will allow men to have children!
Mrs. Xu felt distressed and worried at the same time, so she wiped Xie Yujiao's sweat tremblingly, and continued to comfort her with gentle words: "Jiaojiao, at least hold on, your voice will become hoarse for a while, and you won't be able to shout anymore. Take some strength."

Xie Yujiao didn't have any rationality at this time, the tears and screams were nothing more than physiological reactions, the pain had surpassed her limit, so she could only grit her teeth and shake her head to bear it.

I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually darkened, lanterns were lit in the corridor, and there were still hoarse screams coming from the repair building.Suddenly the scream seemed to stop, but after a while, a loud cry came from the room.

Xie Yujiao was in a daze at this moment, and she could only see Mrs. Xu carrying the child to her eyes, but she had already exhausted all her strength at this moment, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her eyelids to see the child's appearance clearly.Seeing that Xie Yujiao closed her eyes, Mrs. Xu didn't care about being happy, she just handed the child to the nanny beside her in fright, and turned her head, "Come on, Jiaojiao... Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, the female doctor at the side stepped up in a hurry, held Xie Yujiao's pulse and carefully diagnosed and treated him for half a day, then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, old lady, madam just fell asleep from exhaustion. It's all right."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the little baby with a smile on her face again, and said with a smile: "Poor thing, I was so tired that my daughter fell asleep without even looking at her. "

Xie Yujiao gave birth to a daughter, which was exactly as Xie Chaozong had guessed. It seemed that Xie Chaozong's eyes were more useful than Xu's guessed.

Mother Zhang also came up to take a look, and said with a smile on her face: "Look, madam, this baby is not exactly the same as the big girl. This servant remembers that when the big girl was born, she also looked like this, crying so much That's called a loud one, and after crying, go to sleep obediently, and don't make a fuss at all."

"That's not it! Now she is so old, she has given birth to her own baby, and we are all old!" Xu said, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Xie Yujiao only felt that she was exhausted, as if all the energy she had accumulated for a long time had been used up in one day. She slept very deeply, and even dreamed of her mother in her previous life, who looked exactly like Xu's and was gentle and loving. woman.Xie Yujiao told her that she was living well in other worlds and that she had given birth to a granddaughter for her. Seeing her shed tears of joy, she told her to live well.

Xie Yujiao was about to say a few more words to her, but suddenly the man disappeared. She opened her eyes nervously, and under the dim candlelight, a handsome and tough face appeared in front of Xie Yujiao's eyes.Xie Yujiao was startled, thinking that she was still in a dream, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to caress his beautiful eyebrows.

The sky outside the window was already pale. Zhou Tianhao held Xie Yujiao's hand, bowed his head and kissed the back of her hand, stood up holding his hat and helmet, facing the rising sun, and said loudly: "Jiaojiao, together with my daughter, wait Follow me back!"

Another year at the end of autumn, in the small farmyard at the foot of the mountain, several servant girls were surrounding a little girl in a red gown, teaching her how to walk.

The little girl was timid, she didn't dare to move as soon as she let go, she just stood there, looking at the younger maids with red eyes, but after a while, her little nose wrinkled and only tears fell.Seeing this, a young woman wearing autumn-colored gowns only sighed, put down the things in her hands in a hurry, walked over and said, "You guys, are you bullying the girl again? Be careful with your skin!"

As soon as I said this, I heard a crisp voice from the room: "Nurse, don't talk about them, I let them watch my sister and let her practice courage. She is more than one year old. I still don’t dare to walk by myself, and I have to hug her all day, but how can I do it?”

When the young woman heard this, she smiled and said, "Ma'am, it's just that the master usually spoils the girl. As long as the master is at home, he never leaves his hands. If this continues, I, the nanny, will go home." .”

Xie Yujiao smiled slightly, and a servant girl had pulled up the curtain for her and came out from inside. The little girl who was standing still saw Xie Yujiao, opened her hands immediately, and shouted in a childish voice: "Mother, mother... hug hug……"

The little lips twitched, and the golden beans were about to fall off.Seeing the little baby like this, Xie Yujiao's heart twitched for no reason, but her heart ached.It's just that Zhou Tianhao is not at home so easily today, if I don't take this opportunity to let the little baby learn to walk, when her father comes back, he will either carry his neck or ride a big horse, how can he let go for a moment.

"Niu Niu, go to mother's side by yourself, and mother can hug you?" Xie Yujiao knelt down and reached out to the little baby. Because she was afraid that she would fall, her arms were only half a meter away from her, and even more so. What's more, there are a group of maids guarding around here!
The little girl stood on the same spot with her legs crossed, and she really wanted to move out, but she just moved a little, and her body started to shake. She was so frightened that she quickly retracted her feet, and she just squatted down, looking at Xie Yu. Woo cried.

"Mother is bad... Mother is bad... Niuniu wants a father..."

And Zhou Tianhao, who was far away in the Jinling Palace, was sitting in the emperor's bedroom. Waves of imperial physicians came in, came out, came out, and went in again. Did they wipe the sweat on their foreheads with their sleeves?Zhou Tianhao raised his head and saw Empress Xu who was hugging the second prince in the corner, with red eyes.

At this time, Eunuch Liu, who had been serving the emperor all this time, came out from behind the curtain, greeted Zhou Tianhao and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come in."

Zhou Tianhao got up with a serious expression on his face, and followed behind Eunuch Liu, but his mood was a little up and down.At this moment, Eunuch Liu only slowed down his pace, turned his head slightly to Zhou Tianhao and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid your Majesty won't be able to survive this test, and you must mourn."

Zhou Tianhao only felt a pain in his chest, and his breathing became a little difficult. He crawled back from the pile of dead people in the capital, but he had only rested for two or three months before such sad news came out.The emperor was infected with wind and cold last winter, and he has not fully recovered. He has been coughing continuously, until he coughed up blood a few days ago, and he couldn't get sick.

"I know now, thank you, Eunuch Liu, for your concern. The emperor's sister-in-law has already started to make arrangements for the funeral of the emperor's brother, right?"

"Your Majesty has already given orders, but His Majesty wants to go back to the north, but now the capital has been blown into half a piece of ruins. A few days ago, An Guogong sent a letter back. If he wants to move north and return to Beijing, he will have to wait at least two years. This..." Eunuch Liu couldn't help but burst into tears when he said this.

At this time, the maid had already drawn up the curtain inside, Zhou Tianhao took a deep breath, trying to restrain the soreness in his nasal cavity, and walked in front of the emperor.

"Brother Huang, are you okay?" When Zhou Tianhao said this, he couldn't help sobbing, and two lines of tears fell silently.

Although the emperor was not very energetic at this time, but his face looked good, it was probably a flashback in the legend, when he saw Zhou Tianhao crying, he just smiled and said: "A man does not flick his tears easily, my brother, you are an upright man , let alone this."

Zhou Tianhao nodded, put away the astringency in his eyes, and put on a smile: "Brother Huang, the capital has been taken back, and the younger brother has occupied hundreds of miles of grassland from the Tartars. You can go to the grassland to hunt, what do you think, Brother Huang?"

The emperor nodded reluctantly with a smile on his face, closed his eyes again, and said, "You have been rebellious since you were young, but the late emperor liked you the most. You said you didn't want to be the emperor, and you quarreled with the late emperor over this matter, making a fuss. Leaving the palace, but in the end, you are still not free, the emperor has worked for you for more than ten years, this country, you have indeed won it back for me..."

When the emperor said this, he couldn't help but coughed a few more times, took a few breaths, and continued: "But...but...now...now I'm going...the emperor...he's still young ,you you……"

When Zhou Tianhao saw the emperor saying this, he already knew what the emperor meant. It was not easy to refuse him when he was dying, but this time Zhou Tianhao just lowered his head, rolled up his robe, knelt in front of the emperor, and kowtowed heavily: "The emperor Brother, I don’t have any desire for power and power. I just want to be with my wife and daughter. Farmhouses and huts are enough. Now that Dayong has taken back his homeland, the second prince has An Guogong to assist him. He will definitely become a hero of the generation. Also let the younger brother survive."

Hearing this, the emperor coughed worse, and the imperial physician at the side hurriedly brought water to feed him. The emperor took a sip of water and managed to catch his breath, but kept his eyes closed. After a long time, he murmured He opened his mouth, as if talking to himself: "That's right...you don't even want to be emperor, how can a regent be able to trap you...that's all...you... let's go."

Zhou Tianhao crawled on the ground, kowtowed tightly against the cold bluestone slabs below, and when he heard this, he only buckled a few more times.After the emperor finished speaking, his body seemed to have lost all strength, and he only waved the hand that was placed outside the dragon couch. Zhou Tianhao saw it from the corner of his eye, and he only clenched his fists, closed his eyes heavily, and then flirted. Pao got up and left without looking back.

In the small courtyard, the tug-of-war between Xie Yujiao and Xiaowazi was not over yet, no matter how Xie Yujiao tried to coax her, Xiaowazi just squatted on the ground and lost the golden doudou aggrieved.Xie Yujiao propped her forehead, she really didn't know what to do, at this moment, suddenly a loud voice came from afar, appearing in front of the little girl like a god's mansion, and said loudly: "Niuniu, don't be afraid, Daddy is back."

Hearing this familiar voice, the little girl couldn't restrain the grievance in her heart anymore, she turned around quickly and rushed towards the place where Zhou Tianhao came in.

That's right, it's galloping... Niuniu, who has never been able to walk, finally mastered the skill of walking when she saw her father, and triggered the invisible magic machine, directly advancing to running.

Zhou Tianhao picked up the baby girl, hugged her in his arms and kissed her hard. Seeing that her little face was weeping, he turned his head and asked Xie Yujiao, "While I'm not at home, are you bullying my daughter again?"

Xie Yujiao twisted her neck and refused to admit it. She twisted her veil and gritted her teeth, "I didn't bully her, you... a scoundrel who forgets about her daughter-in-law once you have a daughter!"

Hearing this, Zhou Tianhao just burst out laughing, walked to Xie Yujiao's side, and suddenly hugged her in his arms, biting her ear and said: "Who said, I want a wife and daughter, and I want more at night." I want it hard!"

Xie Yujiao's face turned red when she heard the words, and she put her fist on Zhou Tianhao's chest, while Niu Niu on the side only touched her shy face, and said with a smile: "Mother is ashamed, mother is blushing, mother is going to give birth to Niu Niu. younger brother!"
