My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

August is almost the season of autumn. It rained a little last night, heralding the arrival of autumn. When Chang An was getting ready for school, he felt the temperature when he "came back" as soon as he left the house.

“Wow.”

Chang An suddenly shuddered and rubbed his arms. Huaiqin saw it and asked, "Sir, do you need to add a piece of clothing?"

Chang An looked at the sky, then said, "Forget it, let's not use it for now."

"But it looks like autumn is approaching. What's more, it rained last night. It would be bad if you catch a cold." Huaiqin advised again.

"No need. The sun will come out soon. Let's go. Mrs. Gu is still sleeping in the house. Let's not go back to disturb her." After Chang An said this, he got on the carriage directly.

......

At noon, Chang An and Huai Qin walked out of the Imperial College. As expected, the weather was a little warmer. When he was about to get on the carriage, he suddenly heard a shout from not far away:

"Marquis Dingkang! Marquis Dingkang! Are you Marquis Dingkang?"

Chang An followed his line of sight and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the maid of Madam Zhang Aiyu. She is about to give birth!" The maid ran up and said breathlessly.

Chang An frowned. Zhang Aiyu should not be due yet, right? Why did she suddenly say she was going to give birth? But seeing that the maid was sweating profusely, even her hair was wet on her face.

"It's premature birth! Marquis Dingkang, please save my wife!"

The maid didn't care that the floor was wet from yesterday's rain, she knelt down directly, her face was covered with sweat or tears, and she said, "My wife's water broke just an hour ago, and now she is crying in pain at home. I looked for a midwife in the town, but there is no midwife in Pingkang Town. Now I am the closest to you, so I want to ask Marquis Dingkang for help."

"Let's get on the carriage first!" Chang An didn't care about that anymore. He took off the bookcase with one hand and helped the maid get on the carriage with the other. At this time, he saw Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao coming out. He rushed over and took a horse and said:

"Brothers, there is an emergency. Can you lend me your horse?"

Then he jumped on his horse and rode away, saying, "I'm going to find the midwife! You go back and take care of Madam Zhang first!"

After receiving the order, Huaiqin got on the carriage in a hurry, and then said to the driver, "Go quickly! I'll ask Sanniang to raise your wages later!"

"Yes!"

The carriage also ran away, leaving Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao standing there in a daze. Du Chengming was stunned for a long time and said, "What do you mean? Madam Zhang?!"

"It's Madam Zhang Aiyu from Pingkangfang. She redeemed herself and left because she was pregnant." Cui Hujin explained.

"In other words? Brother Yonghe went to help? How did they know each other?"

At this time, Zhang Rusi kicked Du Chengming and said, "Is this the time to care about this issue? Brother Cui, go to Brother Yonghe's house and inform Madam Gu, and then we will go to Madam Zhang to take a look!"

"it is good!"

Afterwards, Zhao Guanzhong and Zhang Rusi directly jumped on their horses, and Cui Hujin rode directly towards Anrenfang. As for Du Chengming, he also held Zhang Rusi's hand and rode on the same horse with him.

Chang An had made an appointment with a famous midwife in Xuanyangfang before, so he went straight to her. Seeing that he was not far from the midwife's house, he took a deep breath and shouted:

"Qin Wengpo! Qin Wengpo! Come out quickly!"

Qin Wenpo, who was in the house, was startled, thinking that someone's wife was about to give birth, so she hurried to the door with her son. She saw Chang An riding a horse towards her and shouted, "Qin Wenpo! Madam Zhang from Pingkangfang is giving birth prematurely, hurry up!"

Qin Wenpo was well-trained and told her son, "Go get the horse!"

Soon, Qin Wenpo followed her son and rode her horse after Chang'an.

At Zhang's home, Su Meng, Du Zhang and Zhao were all there. Zhang Aiyu's condition had stabilized somewhat. Su Meng and Zhang Aiyu's maids were taking care of her, wiping her sweat and feeding her water.

Su Meng asked anxiously at this time: "Why hasn't Chang An come yet?!"

At this time, the maid had already walked out with a basin of blood, which gave the three gentlemen goose bumps. Zhang Aiyu looked pale and her eyes were a little blurry. Su Meng touched her hand and said:

"Ai Yu, hold on for a while, Chang An will be here soon."

"Um......"

When Zhang Aiyu was about to answer, Su Meng said, "Forget it, forget it. Don't speak anymore. Save your energy. You will need it later."

Then Su Meng looked at the three gentlemen standing at the door and said, "Go and help. I'll treat you tonight's drinks!"

"Hot water, scissors, clean towels, these are things you might need for childbirth, go find them all, you never know when the midwife will be here."

"it is good!"

The three gentlemen simply dropped the book box and started searching in Zhang Aiyu's house.

Soon, Chang An shouted, "The midwife is here! The midwife is here!"

"The midwife is here!"

At this time, Du, Zhang, and Zhao had just found their things, and then they saw two men and one woman standing at the door, all of them were panting. As soon as the midwife landed, she shouted directly: "Where is the new mother!"

Du Chengming raised the towel in his hand and said, "In the room, midwife, come quickly!"

"Do you have hot water and towels?" the midwife ran over quickly and asked.

“It’s all there!”

"Then bring it in. Who is the new mother?" Qin Wenpo walked into the room and looked at the bed. Su Meng said, "The new mother is here. It seems that she gave birth prematurely and bled."

"Okay, okay, leave a few maids to me and the rest of you can go out." After looking at Zhang Aiyu, Qin Wenpo said directly without caring who she was.

Then the three men who were holding the things put them beside the bed and went out together. Only Qin Wenpo, Zhang Aiyu and two maids were left in the room.

"Come on, take a deep breath..."

After the door closed, these were the last words Chang An heard.

Then Su Meng said, "You came quickly."

Chang An was sweating all over at this time. He ignored Su Meng's words and sat directly on the stone bench in the yard. Then the sound of Zhang Aiyu calling out began to be heard from the house, and everyone was a little frightened.

After waiting for a while, they suddenly heard the sound of a door opening, and reflexively turned their attention to the delivery room - Zhang Aiyu's room, but the door was not open.

At this time, Su Meng said, "How can a baby be born so quickly? I guess it's because a guest has come."

Then the young men turned their attention to the courtyard, only to see Gu Li and Cui Hujin appear at the door at the same time. Chang An frowned slightly and asked, "Mrs. Gu, why are you here?"

"I'll see if I can be of any help."

"I guess there's nothing more to help with. The midwife has already gone in." Su Meng said.

Gu Li walked up to Chang An, looked at him, and seemed to be afraid that Chang An would be angry, so she carefully took his hand. But Chang An just touched her head and said nothing.

At this time, Zhang Aiyu's shouting came out again, scaring Gu Li. What was going on? Gu Li also heard Cui Hujin say it on the road. Hearing the heart-wrenching voice inside, she herself was a little scared - after all, in another half a year, she would be on the stage.

Hearing these sounds, my hands couldn't help but clench.

......

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, perhaps more than an hour, Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao all fell asleep while waiting here, and the door of the delivery room was finally opened. At this time, the four men woke up, and then Midwife Qin asked:

"It's a little boy."

Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao clapped their hands one after another, as if their own child had been born. Then, the midwife Qin asked, "Who among you, my dear husbands, is the child's father?"

Everyone present was stunned, and then Su Meng stepped forward and said, "Midwife, the new mother just now was a dancer in the brothel. She redeemed herself after she had a child..."

Qin Wenpo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and asked, "Then this child..."

"Give it to me." Su Meng stretched out her hand and took the child.

"How is Madam Zhang?" Su Meng asked again after taking the child.

Qin Wenpo said: "The new mother is in good condition now, so you can go and see her if you want. By the way, the new mother just gave birth to the baby and asked Ding Kanghou, you can go in and see her too."

After Chang An and Gu Li looked at each other, they followed Su Meng in.

At this time, Zhang Aiyu was lying on the bed resting, his face was pale, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he seemed to be about to fall asleep. Su Meng sat down beside the bed with the child in her arms, and then asked, "Aiyu, how are you?"

"It's fine... just a little tired."

After saying that, she turned her gaze towards Chang An and forced a smile at him. But in Chang An's eyes, this smile was like a lotus that was about to wither, and the last white was her stubbornness.

"Thank you very much, Marquis Dingkang."

"It's okay. I'm still saying: I'm helping a mother." Chang An smiled and said, "The child doesn't have a name yet. What name do you plan to give it, Madam Zhang?"

"Name?"

Zhang Aiyu suddenly closed his eyes at this moment, and then said: "Let the child take my surname Zhang, and the name... let's call him Zhang Jien."

"Zhang Jien?" Chang An was a little puzzled. "Does this name have any meaning?"

"Of course," Zhang Aiyu looked at Chang An at this time. If she was not so exhausted, she would have stood up and kneeled down. "I hope he can remember the kindness of Dingkang Hou... to us mother and son..."

"Last time you helped us resolve the slander, and today you saved our reputation. Such a great favor, Ai Yu..."

"I will never forget Aiyu..."
