Daming female local tyrant

Jing Lan has been busy in the newly opened Shen Ji silk and satin shop all summer, and it is very hard to leave early and return late.

As for Shen Wan, this summer has also been very hard, because after May, her belly has grown significantly, and the weather is so hot that it is difficult for pregnant women to endure.

Although there was no morning sickness after five months of pregnancy, her appetite became bad in summer and she couldn't eat much. Jinglan was busy and couldn't be by her side all the time, which made her feel very lonely.

After her belly grew, she hardly ever left the inner house.

She was not afraid that the servants in the old house would know that she was pregnant, but it was hot and she had nowhere to go, so she might as well stay at home to raise the baby.

Jing Lan knew that it was impossible to completely hide Shen Wan's pregnancy from everyone, so she simply gathered everyone and told them that Shen Wan was pregnant with her ex-husband Xiao Yulang's child.She said that Shen Wan only found out that she was pregnant with this child after she reconciled with Xiao Yulang.

"The girl doesn't want to give up if she is pregnant, so you want to give birth to this child. Don't go out and spread rumors. Before the girl gives birth to the child, you must keep your mouth shut. Remember?"

"remember."

"Okay, green bamboo, platycodon, and Zhao Siniang, the three of you stay in the house on weekdays to serve the girl. If the girl wants to eat and play, you all go and buy it for her. However, if you buy Pay special attention to the cleanliness of the ready-made food outside. Every time you buy it, the three of you try it separately, and after the three of you have eaten it, you have nothing to do before presenting it to the girl."

"Yes."

"You serve well, and when the girl gives birth to the child in her womb, you will be rewarded."

After such an order, Cui Zhu and the others agreed, and Jing Lan was relieved to take Ping An and Ping Fu to Shen Ji's silk and satin shop every day to get busy.

Although Jinglan did not let Zhao Siniang wait for rumors about Shen Wan's pregnancy, they would still discuss it quietly in private.

Cuizhu said that if the girl knew that she was pregnant with this child before reconciling with Xiao Yulang, would she not reconcile.

Zhao Siniang said: "If you don't get along with each other, can the girl bear that kind of anger? If you want me to say, it's better to make up with each other. If you get along with each other, the girl will have a child of her own."

Cui Zhu shook her head, and said: "I don't think it's so good for a girl to have a biological child. With this biological child, it will be difficult to find a good family in the future. This is one. Second, if you marry again, you will have to drag a baby with you." , You said that after marrying and having a baby, the baby born to the young master of the Xiao family should not be favored."

"Cuizhu, don't you think that girls don't need to put down their figure to marry again? With your own flesh and blood and money, why do you want to marry a man to have a baby? If I were a girl, I would not marry and take my own children Be happy and happy. Only if you find a man who loves you, who is close to your eyes, and handsome and talented, you will marry. Those widowers who want to remarry stay on the sidelines! Hahahaha!" Zhao Siniang laughed.

After hearing this, Ji Jiao and Bai Ju said that what Zhao Siniang said was reasonable, that according to the girl's conditions, no man could be chosen, and whoever would marry would fill the house.Since the girl opened the Shenji silk and satin shop in Jinhe Town, the business has been very good. Within a month, shopkeeper Wu went to Suzhou Tao's house to buy goods three or four times. It sold out in a few days.

Especially in the past two months, the business has been getting better and better. I heard that now in January, the silk shop will earn 200 taels of silver, excluding the wages paid to shopkeeper Wu and the Zhuo family brothers.

A woman who can earn so much money can afford to raise a child by herself, so she doesn't need to find a man to rely on.

What's more, the girl's father is the patriarch of the Shen family. The old lady of the Shen family said that after three years, the girl will be able to return to the Shen family in Jinling.

Zhao Siniang summed it up: "The girl gave birth to her own flesh and blood, and it is not in vain to have a husband and wife with that Xiao Yulang. In the end, our girl made money, and made a lot of money. If Xiao Yulang knew that the girl had a child, if he was still a boy Baby, if the surname is not Xiao in the end, he will definitely be pissed off. He deserves it if he is going to be pissed off. Who told him to steal people outside, and steal people under the nose of a girl. You shameless man! "

She was spitting all over here, her man Qiu Liu came, rolled his eyes, said that she was showing off her tongue here again, said some incoherent words, and then dragged her away.

Like a cat, Zhao Siniang limped away with her man, while Ji Jiao and the others covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

In a flash, it was the end of September, and it was only a few days before Shen Wan gave birth, and Shen Wan's belly was already very big.

In addition to being busy, Jing Lan would accompany Shen Wan to walk around the courtyard every day after getting up early and after dinner, looking at flowers, admiring fish, and talking.

Shen Wan said that this time of day is the time when she feels most comfortable.

However, even if Jing Lan didn't stay by her side all the time, she still felt happier than in her previous life.

Of course, she didn't say this to Jing Lan, she just thought so in her heart.

A few days before giving birth, Jing Lan had told Zhao Siniang to find the best midwife in the town and clean out a room for her to live in. She was afraid that Shen Wan would give birth suddenly and could not find anyone.

Jing Lan was worried about just looking for a midwife, so she went to Suzhou City to inquire again, and found a woman who had been a midwife for more than 20 years, and she also took her to live in the house.

With two midwives in front of her, Jing Lan felt relieved.

In this era, it is impossible to have doctors and nurses helping pregnant women give birth.Midwives basically represent doctors and nurses. They have experience in delivering babies, and they also have various medicines to induce labor and keep adults and children.

Unless the pregnant woman is suffering from dystocia, bleeding, etc., then they have nothing to do, and they cannot save adults and children by caesarean section like modern women.

Therefore, Jing Lan still thinks that Shen Wan's childbirth is at the door of hell, and once it is difficult to give birth, it will be very dangerous.

It's just that since she settled down in the Shen family's old house in Suzhou, Jing Lan has always paid attention to letting Shen Wan move around more.Every morning and evening, you should be active for at least half an hour, take a walk and trim flowers and plants.

Jing Lan was unfamiliar with pregnancy, no matter before or after wearing it, and she could only deal with it with common sense from hearsay.

For example, let the pregnant woman Shen Wan walk more, besides ensuring enough nutrition every day, eat more fruits and vegetables, etc.

From four or five days before the deduced date of delivery, Jing Lan stopped going to the silk shop, and stayed with Shen Wan in the house every day, giving her massages.

If Jing Lan hadn't witnessed Shen Wan's morning sickness to a big belly, she wouldn't have imagined how hard it is for a woman to be pregnant.

In the early stage of morning sickness, she vomited whatever she ate. In the later stage, her stomach was too big and she had trouble moving. Even bending over was difficult. Also, Shen Wan's feet were swollen.

It wasn't that I was swollen when I walked, but because I was pregnant and my body weight suddenly increased by dozens of catties, and my legs and feet were under more pressure than before, so they became swollen.

Jing Lan would call her hot water to soak her feet every night, and then rub and beat her swollen legs and feet.

Shen Wan also raised her feet to look, jokingly said: "If you just look at my legs now, you will definitely be regarded as an extremely fat woman. These feet seem to grow a size."

Jing Lan smiled: "It's okay."

She asked Jing Lan again: "Now that I'm completely waistless, do you think I'm ugly?"

Jing Lan said: "After giving birth, the girl will become a beauty again."

Such conversations were often held in Shen Wan's later stages of pregnancy. Every time Jing Lan would tell Shen Wan that she was still a beauty and that she still liked her, Shen Wan smiled contentedly.

Jing Lan also found that after Shen Wan's belly got bigger, she became more and more like a little woman in front of her. As long as she was in front of her, she would basically lean on her body and lean on her.

When sleeping, Jing Lan needs to be beside her. If she has a big belly, she can't turn her sideways, and when lying flat, she needs to stretch out a hand to hold her hand in order to fall asleep.

Sometimes Jing Lan would stare at her side face after she fell asleep, or when she woke up in the morning, and feel that she was like a delicate child at this time, and love and affection would be born in her heart. drown.

On the morning of the third day of October, Jing Lan helped Shen Wan get up, changed her clothes, and helped her wash up.

Kikyo brought the meat porridge boiled on the stove in the tea room, a portion of freshly fried vegetables, and a few side dishes for dinner.

Shen Wan sat down with Jing Lan's support, took two bites with a spoon, and felt her stomach ache.

When Jing Lan saw her like this, she guessed that she was about to give birth, because the estimated due date was within two or three days.

She immediately asked Kikyo to call the two midwives who had been invited a few days earlier, and let them see if Shen Wan was about to give birth.

Kikyo carried her skirt and ran out immediately to call the midwives Liao Shi and Mu Shi who lived in the East Wing.

As soon as Liao Shi and Mu Shi came in, they saw Shen Wan touching her belly and gasping for pain, without saying a word, she asked Jing Lan to get the maids to get ready, saying that Shen Wan had started to have a seizure.

"Oh, okay, I'll let them prepare." When she heard that Liao Shi and Mu Shi were serious about Shen Wan's having a baby, Jing Lan was both nervous and excited.

She immediately went to call Cuizhu and other maidservants in, and let them do their own thing.

Change the sheets, boil hot water, and prepare some necessary towels, scissors, etc.

Even though Shen Wan had already made a plan for how to prepare for giving birth, when things came to an end, the little maids still panicked and made mistakes.

Seeing this, the midwife Liao said with a smile: "Don't panic, don't panic, this is just the beginning, and it will take several hours for your girl to give birth. Now let her go to bed and lie down with someone close to her." Just stay with her, say some comforting things, and tell her not to think about the pain all the time."

The person Shen Wan is close to is of course Jing Lan.

After Cui Zhu and the others changed the sheets and put several layers of cushions under Shen Wan, Jing Lan went to accompany Shen Wan.

Shen Wan was someone who gave birth to a child in the previous life, and when the labor pains broke out, she didn't panic, she looked as usual, she just shook Jing Lan's hand and frowned, and didn't cry out for pain.

Seeing her like this, Jing Lan said softly: "If it hurts, don't hold back, it's better to scream out, besides, isn't it right for a woman to scream when she has a baby?"

Shen Wan glanced at her and said to her heart that she should be called out when doing that thing.

These days of pregnancy, she endured too much.
