Chapter 340 Song Jin gives birth to a son


    Qin Chi seemed to have a leisurely life. He stayed with Song Jin every day while she was expecting her child, and occasionally received visiting classmates and scholars. Among those who came often were Meng Qingrui and Le Yan.


    The two are still studying and plan to take the provincial examination again next year.


    I came here knowing that Qin Chi would stay in his hometown for a while, so I came to ask Qin Chi for advice when I got the chance.


    Qin Chi did not hesitate to help the two of them clear up their doubts.


    Putting down the pen in his hand, Meng Qingrui rubbed his arm, "Qi''an, do you think I can hit it this time?"


    "It depends on luck."


    Qin Chi couldn''t say anything against his will, "Your exam luck has always been good."


    "I failed last time."


    Meng Qingrui felt relieved after hearing this, but still said the same on his face, "However, I still want to accept your good advice."


    He didn''t want to take the exam in the first place and wanted to go to the capital to join Qin Chi. His father said that he needed to have leverage to join the other side. He was not even a civil servant. Even if Qin Chi wanted to arrange an official position for him, it would be difficult for him. He must at least take the exam first. A lifter.


    Immediately, Meng Qingrui said: "When I win the imperial examination, I will go to the capital to seek refuge with you. Sir, according to my knowledge, if I win the imperial examination, it will be a huge success, and there is no hope of becoming a Jinshi."


    Being a scholar in junior high school was luck.


    Now he is studying hard, and Qin Chi has drawn up a rough range of test questions. According to this, if he can pass the exam, it will be his destiny. If he fails, he will still go to Qin Chi.


    At worst, you can just follow him as an errand boy.


    When Meng Qingrui came up with this idea, he felt relieved.


    Le Yan, who was next to him, heard the conversation between the two and felt confused, "Brother Qi''an, if I don''t take the exam now, will I be able to get ahead just by virtue of being a scholar?"


    "It depends on what your expectations are."


    Qin Chi probably knows what the two of them are thinking, "Some people think that being a petty official means getting ahead, and some people think that being a prince is the only way to get ahead. It all depends on one''s expectations for the future."


    Le Yan was stunned.


    Meng Qingrui also had nothing to say.


    Qin Chi added: "A person''s expectations may be big or small, and they may change at any time. When you took part in the imperial examination earlier, you thought that you must at least be a scholar first. When you become a scholar, you will think about recruiting people. When you become a civil servant, you will probably want to take the Jinshi exam again, even if it is far away for you two."


    The two of them listened thoughtfully.


    The truth is not difficult to understand, but it is often ignored by oneself.


    The two of them said they would join Qin Chi in the future and work under him, but they were not sure how far they could go. They only know that following Qin Chi is their best choice at the moment.


    Qin Chi patted Meng Qingrui on the shoulder and said, "I can''t figure this out, so don''t think about it for now. As for your future, we have to wait until you pass the provincial examination."


    He can support two people, and they must have that ability.


    Qin Chi asked Meng Qingrui to study more with Magistrate Meng, not in terms of academic matters, but to learn how to be an official.


    It was dark, Qinjiagou was in a remote location, and the road was being built recently, so it was not easy for carriages to travel.


    Qin Chi asked someone to clean up the guest room for the two of them.


    Another half month passed.


    This area became vibrant because Qin Chi came back to visit his relatives.


    Folks from all over the country have benefited from it.


    The day the number one scholar''s archway was built.


    The archway is less than four feet high and about three feet wide. It has four pillars, three bays and three floors. It has a curly grass-style head ridge, a treasure top in the middle, and "Zhuangyuanfang" engraved on the forehead. It is also called "Zhuangyuanfang" because it is made of red sandy conglomerate. "Red Archway".


    There were dragon and lion dances and drums beating, making it very lively.


    Many villagers came to watch the excitement. Even the prefect and the magistrate of Yixian County came to deliver speeches, and Qin Chi also showed his face.


    Almost everyone in the Qin family went to join in the fun.


    Only Song Jin was waiting at home to give birth and regretfully missed it.


    "It''s a pity that I couldn''t see it with my own eyes." Song Jin could still feel the happy atmosphere at home.


    Yinlong smiled and said, "You can wait until the child comes out and then go and have a look."


    Suddenly, Song Jin felt a pain in her abdomen and felt like she was falling, "Aunt Long, I feel like I''m about to give birth."


    Yinlong stood up, "I''m going to call someone right now."


    He hurried to the door and said loudly: "Ah Qi, Mu Ting, go and tell Po Wen to come over! Let the kitchen boil hot water..."


    After giving the instructions, the household affairs were carried out in an orderly manner.


    At the same time, someone hurriedly went outside to notify Qin Chi. Just as Qin Chi and the magistrate and others got off the high platform they had set up, they were going to attend a banquet. When they heard Qin Ba coming over to report that his wife was about to give birth, Qin Chi immediately said sorry to the magistrate and others, and left the banquet early and hurried away. .


    "Master Qin, this is..."


    Someone next to him looked at Qin Chi''s back in confusion and asked.


    The magistrate laughed and said: "Just now his servants came to report that his wife is going to give birth. Today, Mr. Qin''s family is having a double happiness. Just wait and go to the Full Moon Bar."


    "Haha, this is a good thing."


    Magistrate Meng also joked, "My second son grew up with Mr. Qin and has been a classmate for more than ten years. He said that Mr. Qin and his wife have a very good relationship. A woman who gives birth to a child will follow the gate of hell." Both, Mr. Qin left in a hurry, he must be worried. "


    "It''s human nature."


    Many people expressed their understanding.


    Song Jin''s birth was not smooth.


    The midwife Wen invited four.


    Two were brought from the capital, and the other two Wen Pos were locals. They had delivered the twins earlier.


    Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!


    To be serious, Song Jin''s pregnancy was a bit difficult to deliver. Fortunately, Mrs. Wen had a lot of experience. After much trouble, the baby was finally born in the middle of the night.


    Afterwards, Song Jin fell into a coma from exhaustion.


    After the child was born, a local Wen woman in Huizhou immediately used chopsticks with cotton **** dipped in coptis water to gently wash away the dirt on the newborn''s upper and lower palates, upper and lower lips, tongue and gums.


    Weizhi "eats Coptis chinensis".


    The two stable women from the capital also knew that this was a local custom in Huizhou, so they did not stop it.


    Qin Chi didn''t sleep a wink all night.


    "Congratulations to the master, he is a big fat boy."


    A stable mother-in-law took out the child with a smile on her face.


    The other Wenpo and Yinlong helped Song Jin clean up.


    "Okay, give me a reward!"


    Li''s voice came from outside, saying that he would give a reward.


    At this moment, when Qin Chi wanted to enter the house, Mrs. Wen hurriedly stopped her, "Goodbye, sir, you can''t go in now. Madam has just given birth and it''s not suitable to be exposed to the wind."


    Po Wen said this nicely.


    In fact, some customs do not allow men to enter the delivery room.


    This time Song Jin gave birth not in the master bedroom, but moved from the living room to a side room next to her to wait for the birth.


    "My wife is in a coma?"


    Qin Chi asked with bloodshot eyes.


    Po Wen nodded and said hurriedly: "Don''t worry, sir. Madam is just exhausted, just take a nap and you''ll be fine."


    Qin Chi was not going to feel relieved after hearing a few words from Granny Wen. He turned to Doctor Jing who had been waiting outside the delivery room for a long time and said, "Mr. Jing, please go in and show my wife."


    "I''ll go in first and take your pulse."


    Doctor Jing went in carrying the medicine box as a gift.


    When he entered, he smelled a strong smell of blood. Doctor Jing was used to it and carefully went to the bed to check Song Jin''s pulse. After a while, he put away the pulse pillow and closed the medicine box.


    Yinlong asked: "Doctor Jing, how are you doing?"


    "I fell asleep because I was too tired. When Madam wakes up, she will be able to recover as long as she takes good care of herself. Madam''s body has always been in good shape."


    Doctor Jing said with a smile while holding his beard.


    He went out carrying the medicine box.


    Another prescription was prescribed and asked to make medicine.


    At the same time, he told Song Jin''s situation.


    Qin Chi completely let go of his hanging heart.


    Boss Qin sent someone to the old house to report the good news.


    Mrs. Li asked the kitchen to cook a large pot of red eggs to announce the good news and distribute them to relatives and friends. According to customs here, happy eggs are a symbol of good luck, symbolizing new life and hope.


    All the villagers in Qinjiagou came to congratulate each other with a red egg in their hands early in the morning. They were all very happy.
