Practice Remembering You

Dayan Dynasty - Eastern Edge - Zhuiming City - Zhang Mansion

The Zhang family is one of the five richest families in Zhuiming City and monopolizes the jade business in the entire city.

In the backyard of Zhang's mansion, there are rockery and strange rocks, with an elegant pavilion standing in the middle. Coarse stone and fine slabs are paved on the ground, starting from the archway of the courtyard wall and connecting to the pavilion.

In the pavilion, two beautiful women sat opposite each other, each served by a pair of maids.

One of the beautiful women was holding a sleeping baby in her arms. The woman's name was Chen Ying. She was the daughter-in-law of the head of the Mo family, who monopolized the cloth and silk business in Zhuiming City. (The Mo family was also one of the five richest merchant families in Zhuiming City.)

The other person was pregnant and seemed to be in the delivery stage. This person was the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family's head, Tian Yu.

The two families were neighbors, and the two women had similar personalities, so they usually had close contacts.

The two chatted in the pavilion.

Tian Yu looked at the baby in Chen Ying's arms, her eyes full of love: "Little Moxue is so cute, look at her little face, so round and plump, I really want to take a bite."

Chen Ying touched her daughter's face with a smile and said, "Don't worry, sister. You will be pregnant soon. You can bite it as you like after the baby is born."

When she said this, Tian Yu was a little scared: "Sister Chen, giving birth must be very painful. When you gave birth, I was outside and heard you screaming and my heart went wild."

Chen Ying couldn't help but show a trace of fear on her face, but when she saw her daughter's sleeping face, that trace of fear disappeared, replaced by a faint happiness: "It is painful, but when I see my child born in the end, I will feel that everything is worth it."

Looking at the expression on Chen Ying's face, Tian Yu felt less scared and sighed, "We don't know whether the baby is a girl or a boy."

Chen Ying's eyes lit up: "It doesn't matter what kind of baby it is. If it's a girl, the children of our two families will be like us, good sisters who grew up together. If it's a boy, hehe~ I know my sister's character, the child will be good, so let's keep the good things in the family and arrange a baby marriage for my daughter."

"Puchi~" Tian Yu couldn't help laughing: "Sister is right, good things should be kept within the family, both boys and girls are good. Sister, let me touch Xiaoxue's face again, I have been holding back for a long time."

"Ah~" Chen Ying pretended to be helpless and shook her head: "Look at how greedy you are, come on~"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked in front of Tian Yu, turning the baby's face to the side to make it easier to touch.

Tian Yu smiled and reached out her hand to touch it, but when she was halfway there, her hand suddenly twitched and an uncomfortable expression appeared on her face.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Chen Ying asked worriedly.

The maids behind him hurried forward to support him, all of them looking worried.

"Sister... my stomach hurts..." Tian Yu's forehead was sweaty, and she covered her stomach with both hands and squeezed out a few words.

Chen Ying immediately realized something, half-knelt down and looked at Tian Yu's skirt, reached out and touched it, and found it was wet: "My sister is about to give birth!" Then she opened her throat and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, Mr. Tian...ah, no, Mrs. Zhang is about to give birth!"

A moment later, many people crowded into the yard of the delivery room.

Heart-wrenching screams could be heard almost continuously from the room, mixed in with the midwife's words like "pull harder" and "take deep breaths".

The atmosphere in the courtyard was solemn. A slightly plump young man was pacing back and forth, his knuckles clenched until white, and he looked into the house from time to time. His name was Zhang Jinshi, and he was Tian Yu's husband.

The head of the Zhang family, Zhang Jinshi's father, frowned and said, "Why are you so flustered? The three best midwives in the city have been invited. Nothing will happen."

Zhang Jinshi actually knew it, but he was still very worried.

As time passed, Tian Yu's screams in the room began to become intermittent, which made the people outside nervous, especially Zhang Jinshi, whose teeth were grinding.

"Squeak~" the door opened and a midwife walked out with a worried look on her face.

Zhang Jinshi almost jumped in front of the midwife in one step, staring at her and asking, "What happened?!"

The midwife was so frightened that she trembled all over: "Master, Madam is having a difficult delivery. I want to ask you whether you want to save the baby or the mother."

After hearing this, Zhang Jinshi's blood rushed to his head. His eyes instantly filled with bloodshot and he shouted angrily, "Save the big one or the small one? Aren't you the best midwives? I want both the big and the small! If anything happens to one of them, everyone in your room will be buried with me!"

As he said this, he pulled out the knife from the guard next to him and chopped it on the door frame with a "click"!

The midwife was frightened by the knife. She kept assuring him that everything would be fine, then she closed the door and went back trembling.

Everyone inside heard Zhang Jinshi's angry words, and both the midwife and the maid turned pale with fear.

If it were an ordinary family, they would just regard such words as angry words and would not take it too seriously. However, the person who said this was a very powerful person in the city. When Zhang Jinshi said he wanted to kill someone, he really dared to do it!

Helplessly, everyone could only deliver the baby as much as possible. However, the baby's condition was so bad, its body was much weaker than that of a normal baby, and if a little force was used, the baby's body would tend to fall apart.

After carefully pulling for half an incense stick of time, Tian Yu's voice became weaker and weaker. If she continued like this, the adults would probably be finished.

Seeing this, one of the oldest midwives waved to the other two midwives and whispered, "We can't keep doing this, or we won't be able to save the older one. Let's save the older one!"

"But if we can't save my child, Young Master Zhang will kill us." Another midwife looked worried.

"The younger one is half dead. Even if it is born, it will not survive. Let's save the older one. Let's say a few words to Madam. Madam should help us get away with it. Besides, the young master is young and impulsive, but we still have the old master. The old master has a lot of experience and should not make things too difficult for us."

That was all the others could think of. After two or three minutes, the baby was taken out, and Tian Yu fainted because she was too weak.

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone outside held their breath.

The three midwives held the baby with worried looks on their faces, ready to convey the news.

At this moment, a slight "sizzling" sound was heard above the delivery room.

The midwife and the maids who were delivering babies in the room looked up.

The space twisted, and a plump white baby appeared out of thin air, slowly falling like a feather.

The midwife who was close by caught the baby.

When everyone looked, they saw that it was a baby boy. The strange thing was that there was a soft and delicate yellow talisman paper stuck on his body.

Several midwives were stunned for a moment, but the three of them thought of something almost at the same time. They looked at each other and could see from each other's eyes that they were thinking the same thing.

Looking back at Tian Yu, she was still in a coma, and then she glanced at the midwives.

These maids were also smart and knew that they were all in the same boat. After all, Zhang Jinshi had just said, "If something happens, everyone in the house will be buried with them." Naturally, they, the servants, were included in that.

So everyone moved quickly.

The dead fetus was hidden and taken away at the right time, and the midwife smeared amniotic fluid and blood on the baby that suddenly appeared.

With everyone working together, it was done in less than a minute.

After everything was ready, the midwife spanked the baby on the buttocks.

"Snapped!"

“Wow wow wow…!!!”

Outdoors

When everyone heard the baby crying, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and the remaining half breath was for the adults.

"It's born! It's a boy, mother and child are safe!" The three midwives spoke at the same time.

Now everyone was completely relieved.

The most experienced midwife came out carrying the baby.

Under the guidance of the midwife, Zhang Jinshi carefully took the baby and looked at the little guy lovingly. Then he raised his head and asked, "Where is my wife?"

"Madam, it's okay. You can go in after the delivery room handles it."

"Not now?" Zhang Jinshi was a little worried about his wife.

"No, no! Madam's condition is among the worst among all the pregnant women. She needs to be handled carefully. She can't be exposed to the wind at this time. It will probably take another incense stick of time." The midwife tried to stop him fiercely with cold sweat. In fact, Tian Yu had already finished the treatment, but because the dead fetus was being secretly carried out, no one else could be allowed to go in.

Everyone's eyes were on the child.

Everyone else in the courtyard congratulated the Zhang father and son.

The more Zhang Jinshi looked at his child, the more he liked him.

At this time, Mr. Zhang looked at the baby and asked, "Uh...was the child this big when he was born?"

"A normal baby is not this big, otherwise Madam wouldn't have had a difficult delivery." The midwife wiped the sweat off her forehead without leaving a trace: "For a normal person in this situation, only one of them would survive, but Madam is blessed by heaven, and both mother and child are safe. It's simply a miracle."

"A miracle? Hahaha!" Old Master Zhang was very happy: "I am happy today, I will give each of you three an extra fifty taels of silver as a reward!"

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!" When the midwife heard this, she immediately smiled, as if she had forgotten all the crisis that had just happened.
