Chapter 236 Sister is Qingcao's situation

Ou Zanghua had just returned home from court and sat down to soak his feet when Xiang Danian walked in and reported to him what had happened in the Ou Mansion.

When Ou Zanghua heard that Feng Buping had actually begun to teach Lingsong the Huashan swordsmanship, he was also stunned for a moment before he said, "If Mr. Feng is willing to teach, let him teach! After all, it is their internal affairs at Huashan, so just pretend you don't know."

"Yes, senior brother." Xiang Danian immediately agreed.

While wiping his feet, Ou Zanghua asked with a smile: "By the way, how is Da Nian's internal energy training going now?"

Talking about this, Xiang Danian couldn't help but reveal an honest smile, "Recently, I have been taking the Four Saints and Four Spirits Paste and practicing the Yuantian Zhenyue Divine Art, and my internal strength has improved rapidly."

"Come on, let's have a competition!" Ou Zanghua changed into a pair of cotton shoes, picked up his sword and walked into the yard.

"Please give me your guidance, senior brother!" Xiang Danian was not polite either. He also picked up his sword and followed out.

Liu Qing and Qu Feiyan were originally tidying up books in the attic. When they heard the sound of weapons clashing from below, they opened the window and saw two people sparring with each other. They began to watch with interest.

"My husband's 'Returning Wind and Falling Wild Goose Sword Technique' has become more and more proficient!"

"Second Senior Brother has mastered the Hengshan Sword Technique to such an extreme level, I'm afraid he's almost as good as Daddy."

Liu Qing was watching with great interest at first, but then she realized that it was not interesting anymore and said awkwardly, "Fei Yan, what should I do? It seems like I am the only one standing still."

Qu Feiyan hugged Liu Qing with a smile and said, "Because Sister Qingqing is very busy! During the days when the Master was away, it was all Sister Qingqing who supported the family, so it is understandable that her martial arts skills have fallen behind!"

"Well, that's right. Starting tomorrow, I should take some time to practice swordplay!" Liu Qing thought for a moment and said, "I haven't practiced for so long, I'm a little rusty now, I have to pick it up again."

After practicing with Xiang Danian for a while, Ou Zanghua deflected Xiang Danian's sword with one sword, and then sheathed the sword.

Seeing this, Xiang Danian stopped immediately.

"It's very good. During the days I was away, your swordsmanship and internal strength have improved." Ou Zanghua led Xiang Danian into the pavilion and sat down, saying with great satisfaction.

Two maids immediately brought tea and a fruit plate and stood by waiting.

When Xiang Danian heard the praise from his senior brother, he couldn't stop smiling: "Since my senior brother is not here, I have been sparring with Mr. Feng and Mr. Mu every few days. According to Mr. Mu, I am now considered a second-rate expert in the martial arts world."

A second-rate expert?
When he was practicing with Xiang Danian just now, Ou Zanghua felt that his strength was slightly stronger than Yan Sanxing's, but he didn't know how good of an expert Yan Sanxing was in the martial arts world.

"Since Da Nian is so powerful, I can rest assured that you can take some things back to Huguang."

Ou Zanghua poured a cup of tea for Xiang Danian and said gently, "Give the "Yuantian Zhenyue Divine Art", the Four Saints and Four Spirits Cream, and two jars of Shanjun Medicinal Wine to Master. I also copied some martial arts secrets from other countries. You can take them back to the head master. By the way, according to the time, Master Yue's baby should be born soon. When you pass by Yingtian Prefecture, please send some more things over."

"Okay, please rest assured, Senior Brother, I will definitely send the things back safely." After hearing this, Xiang Danian's expression immediately became serious.

"I won't let you take it back alone. I contacted the people from Cangzhou Escort Agency yesterday. They will arrive in the capital in three days. You can go with them then."

"Yes, I will follow the arrangements made by Senior Brother."

After watching Xiang Danian leave, Lingsong walked into the backyard under the guidance of Yihe. The poem he had to recite today was "Visiting an Old Friend's Farm" by Meng Haoran, which had a total of forty words, not too many, but not too few either.

Lingsong is young and his wrist strength is not strong enough, so the words he writes are always a little lacking in quality.

Ou Zanghua did not make things difficult for the child. After he finished copying the poem, he explained the poem to him.

After he finished speaking, Ou Zanghua asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

"No, no." Lingsong shook his head quickly.

“Okay, this is tomorrow’s poem, you can familiarize yourself with it tonight.” Ou Zanghua nodded, picked up the pen and wrote down Bai Juyi’s “Five Poems of Free Speech, No. 2”.

When handing it to Lingsong, he specifically said, "I really like the last sentence, I hope you like it too."

Lingsong took it and looked at it. The last sentence was 'If you don't believe me, just watch those who play chess. The winner or loser will be determined at the end of the game.'

Although the boy didn't quite understand, he knew that the sentence Ou Zanghua liked must be good, so he decided to write down this line of poetry.

After Lingsong went back, Ou Zanghua had dinner with Liu Qing. Qu Feiyan sat beside them and told them about the interesting things that happened today.

At the same time, in the Huashan Villa on Lion Mountain in Yingtian Prefecture, Ning Zhongze was wearing a loose robe, her lips were beginning to turn white, and her lapels were soaked with sweat. She was lying on the delivery bed, the pain of childbirth made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Yue Lingshan sat aside, holding her mother's hand with one hand and wiping her sweat with a towel with the other.

On the other side of the delivery bed, Master Dingyi held Ning Zhongze's other hand and relieved her pain by massaging the acupoints.

Two midwives stood at the other end of the delivery bed, observing and encouraging: "Madam, please try harder. We can already see the baby's head. Push harder!"

"I... I have no strength left." Ning Zhongze said while panting, holding Yue Lingshan's hand.

"Bring the ginseng soup! And get a basin of warm water." Another midwife shouted immediately.

Yi Lin, who was outside the door, heard the shouting and ran out to the courtyard, saying to Yue Buqun who was anxiously waiting, "Uncle Yue, ginseng soup! And a basin of warm water."

"Okay, okay," Yue Buqun nodded repeatedly. When he turned around, he saw Lao Denuo and Liang Fa running out frantically.

A moment later, two people came with warm water and ginseng soup respectively.

Yilin and Yizhen took over immediately, and after carrying it into the delivery room, they were driven out by Master Dingyi.

After taking a sip of the ginseng soup, Ning Zhongze regained some of his energy, but it was still not enough. At this time, a midwife said, "This won't work. Who has more strength? Help me push it down."

"How do I press it?"

Nun Dingyi had delivered a baby before, but she had never encountered a situation like Xiang Ningzhongze, so she was unsure.

"Put your hands here and press down, just like rolling noodles!" The midwife pointed out the position to Master Dingyi.

When Master Dingyi took a look, she realized, “Isn’t this the Shangwan acupoint?”
She asked hesitantly, "Will it hurt the child?"

"If you don't, it will hurt the baby!" The midwife urged, "Madam, please hurry up! I am old and don't have enough strength, otherwise I would do it myself."

Master Dingyi looked at Ning Zhongze, raised one hand and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, Madam Yue is sorry."

"Master, just do it." Ning Zhongze looked at Master Dingyi and said sincerely, "Thank you for your company during this period. Lingshan, you must remember that Master is your benefactor. No matter what, you must not neglect everyone in Hengshan Sect in the future."

“Mother, please stop talking. Save your strength and do your best!” Yue Lingshan wiped her tears and looked at Master Dingyi and said, “Master, please rest assured. Huashan will always remember your kindness.”

"Amitabha!" Master Dingyi chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, and then under the guidance of the midwife, she pressed her hands on both ends of the Ningzhongze Shangwan acupoint and pushed downwards.

"Madam, please cooperate. One, two, three, use force!" Another midwife continued to observe and reminded Ning Zhongze from time to time that it was time to use force.

As time passed, the baby's head was pushed into the birth canal, and Ning Zhongze only felt more pain and discomfort.

Yue Lingshan was worried that her mother would bite her tongue, so she took a towel and stuffed it into Ning Zhongze's mouth.

With the encouragement of the midwife and the help of Master Dingyi, Ning Zhongze continued to exert his strength, and suddenly he felt a rising sense of satisfaction.

The next moment, she felt her whole body relax, and an unprecedented fatigue came over her, accompanied by a loud cry.

"Congratulations, ma'am, it's a boy!" The midwife held the child, wiped him with a towel soaked in warm water, then wrapped him in a blanket and placed him next to Ning Zhongze.

"Mom, look, it's a little brother." Yue Lingshan looked at the little guy with a red body, her eyes a little panicked, but she didn't dare to ask more.

Fortunately, the older midwife was experienced and saw Yue Lingshan's confusion, so she smiled and explained, "Don't worry, young lady, all newborn babies are like this."

"Oh. Thank you." Yue Lingshan nodded embarrassedly.

Ning Zhongze turned his head to look at the little thing and smiled with relief.

The little thing seemed to sense its mother. It stopped crying and leaned against Ning Zhongze, making a cute "hum" sound.

"Amitabha, good, good." Master Dingyi clasped her hands together and chanted the Buddha's name with a compassionate face.

Outside the yard, when the first cry of a baby was heard, Yue Buqun's tense face finally relaxed.

A moment later, Yi Lin ran out with a smile on her face, clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, congratulations to Master Yue on the birth of his son."

"Ha ha."

Yue Buqun couldn't help laughing out loud. He, Yue, had a successor!

Lao Denuo and Liang Fa quickly led more than ten Huashan disciples to bow and say, "Congratulations, Master, on the birth of your precious son!"

"reward!"

Yue Buqun waved his hand and said that today was a happy day and everyone should be happy together. As for how much silver notes Ou Zanghua had left, he didn't care. What Old Yue wanted now was happiness!

After the midwife had tidied up the room, it was not until the next morning that Yue Buqun was allowed to enter.

He walked into the room and first looked at the sleeping child. He couldn't help but teasing his soft face. Then he walked to Ning Zhongze and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was sleeping soundly.

Yue Lingshan walked in and saw her father’s gentle smile, so she smiled too.

Yue Buqun looked back at his daughter and waved at her.

"Daddy."

"Well, Lingshan, you must take good care of your brother in the future. You two are siblings!"

The sound of their conversation woke Ning Zhongze up. She opened her eyes, looked at her husband and asked gently, "Brother, have you thought of a name?"

"Junior sister, you're awake! I just have an idea to discuss with you. Surname Yue, given name Lingfeng, nickname Qingcao, how about that?" Yue Buqun shook his head and said, "Use the divine way to carry virtue, ride on the spiritual wind to show power. The so-called spiritual wind is the trend of the times."

At this point, Yue Buqun glanced at Yue Lingshan, and his sister was the current leader of Qing Cao.

"Yue Lingfeng is a good name!" Ning Zhongze couldn't help but hold Yue Buqun's hand and asked, "What's so special about Qingcao?"

Yue Buqun stroked his beard and explained with a smile: "The Taiping Guangji records that Qingcao is another name for dog. I hope this child can grow up healthily like a puppy."

"So that's how it is. Good, good, good." Ning Zhongze said three good words in a row, obviously very satisfied with the child's name.

Yue Lingshan touched Xiao Qingcao's cheek and said with a smile: "Xiao Qingcao, Xiao Qingcao, you must grow up quickly!"

　Wow! I finally finished writing before 1:00 today. I found that I have more things to do on weekends than during work.

　　I can only say that all bosses should cherish their single time.
