[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Rong Enqing hurriedly went forward to knock on the door and almost tripped on the stone steps at the door. Fortunately, Xiu Zhang beside her helped her.

The gate to the courtyard was ajar and opened with a push.

As soon as I entered the door, I suddenly heard a baby crying in the room.

Rong Enqing was surprised, and then he was delighted.

She walked quickly forward, tidied herself at the door, and when she saw that there was nothing wrong with her, she went into the house.

But just as he was about to enter the door, he was stopped by a young woman who was carrying blood out.

"Who are you? How did you get in?" The woman was blocked and spoke in a rather aggressive tone. After she raised her head and saw Rong Enqing's extraordinary clothes, her face suddenly became a little embarrassed and her tone became a little cautious.

"Mrs. He just gave birth to a child, and I need to get some hot water to wash her body. Can you give way?"

Rong Enqing was not the kind of person who would care about things, so he quickly made way.

Just then, there was a noise and an old woman with gray hair came out of the room.

She half-squinted her eyes and looked at Rong Enqing for a while, then suddenly clapped her hands and asked in surprise: "Are you the lady that Meixiang is talking about?"

Rong Enqing was startled and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

The old woman introduced herself with a smile: "My last name is Li, I live next door, and I am Meixiang's neighbor. After Meixiang became pregnant, her husband hired me to take care of Meixiang. I was the one who sent someone to the Marquis' Mansion to pass on the message before."

"Thank you, Ma'am Li, for your hard work in taking care of Meixiang these days." Rong Enqing said and gave Xiu Zhang a wink.

Xiu Zhang understood what she meant, took out a five-liang silver ingot from her sleeve pocket, walked up to her and handed it to Mrs. Li politely.

"No, no, Meixiang's husband gives me money every month. Besides, Meixiang is a good person. I am happy to take care of her even if you don't give me money." Mrs. Li declined.

Rong Enqing smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, just keep it. Meixiang will let you keep it if she finds out."

After hearing what Rong Enqing said, Mrs. Li happily put the silver into her arms.

"You are here to see Meixiang, right?" Mrs. Li said with a smile, "Meixiang is very lucky. We thought she was going to die, but when you came, she gave birth to a child. There is another one in her belly. The midwife said that the second one will be born soon. The room is a mess. You should sit in the main room and wait for a while. After the baby is born, I will clean up for her and you can go in to see her."

Rong Enqing thought about it and didn't refuse. He just confirmed: "Is Meixiang okay?"

"It's okay." Mrs. Li said cheerfully, "We were all scared when the midwife said it wasn't good at first. Fortunately, the doctor we invited is very skilled. After one dose of medicine, Meixiang's condition stabilized. Look, the baby was born right after you walked in."

Mrs. Li was complimenting Rong Enqing when she suddenly heard a baby crying in the room.

Then another one started crying.

It was obvious that the second child was born, because the crying caused the first child to start crying as well.

"It's born, it's born!" Mrs. Li no longer cared about Rong Enqing and left him alone, quickly going into the inner room.

The young woman who had drawn hot water earlier also quickly entered the house carrying the hot water.

Soon, Mrs. Li and a chubby woman came out, each holding a child.

"Madam, please take a look at the children, a boy and a girl, twins! This is the best omen!" Mrs. Li smiled so hard that her eyes almost narrowed into slits. It was obvious that she was really happy for Meixiang.

The plump woman rolled up her sleeves and was obviously a midwife. At this moment, she also brought the child in her arms to Rong Enqing and said with a smile: "Look at this child, how blessed he is! This is really the best-looking pair of twins I have ever delivered."

"Okay, okay, reward, reward, reward them all." Rong Enqing looked at this child, then looked at that child, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

Upon seeing this, Xiu Zhang quickly took out his purse and handed each of them a silver ingot weighing five taels.

Mrs. Li had received a silver ingot before, and this time she said she didn't want it at all, but Rong Enqing smiled and asked her to accept it. Only then did she happily accept it.

As for the midwife, she couldn't take her eyes off the silver.

Normally, if you can get 200 coins for delivering a baby, it's good. If you meet someone who is generous, 500 coins is the maximum you can get.

This time I actually got a reward of five taels of silver, it's simply a windfall!

As a result, auspicious words came out in piles.

At this moment, the young woman who had brought water before came out again. She looked at Mrs. Li and the midwife with envy, and said timidly, "Mrs. He has packed everything, but she is so tired that she fell asleep. Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Rong Enqing didn't bother to look after the child anymore. He nodded and went into the house.

After taking two steps, he turned back and pointed at the young woman, saying to Xiu Zhang, "Don't forget to give the reward."

"Yes." Xiu Zhang responded and took another five taels of silver from the young woman.

The young woman's eyes lit up immediately. She put down the basin, happily took the silver with both hands, touched it curiously, then glanced at Mrs. Li and quickly put the silver in her arms.

Rong Enqing entered the room. The smell in the room was not pleasant, but it was not unbearable. Meixiang was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Rong Enqing took a look at her and saw that she looked good and seemed to have gained some weight since the last time he saw her. He felt relieved.

Mrs. Li and the midwife came in carrying the child, placed it gently next to Meixiang, and left again.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Meixiang woke up, she saw Rong Enqing sitting beside the bed looking at her.

She was startled, then surprised and delighted, and was about to stand up and salute, but Rong Enqing stopped her by pressing her shoulder.

"Okay, you just gave birth, so forget about the formalities." Rong Enqing said with a smile, "I feel relieved to see that you are fine. Oh, and the children are fine too, twins, a boy and a girl, a good sign."

"Thank you, Madam." Meixiang was touched. "I didn't expect that Madam would come to see me in person."

"How could I not come to such a big event as your childbirth? Besides, the messenger said that you... forget it, it's all in the past. As long as you're okay."

Rong Enqing changed the subject and asked, "Why did you suddenly have a miscarriage? Was it because of He Zizhong's death?"

Mei Xiang paused, but still nodded, "Yes. Some people said that He Zizhong was dead, and that the young marquis deliberately wanted to kill him."

Rong Enqing frowned, "I was going to tell you about He Zizhong's death, but I haven't sent anyone over yet. Who came to you before me? What was his purpose in doing this?"

Rong Enqing looked at Meixiang, "Did you have premature labor because you heard about He Zizhong's death?"

After all, Meixiang still has feelings for He Zizhong, right?

"No." Meixiang shook her head and looked at Rong Enqing with a complicated expression, "I feel sorry for the Madam."

Rong Enqing was stunned.
