Chapter 2218
At the end of October, the two pregnant women were about to give birth, and Tang and Ma returned home from the military camp to accompany them in the birthing.
Chi Shuang has a stomachache, so she starts moving first.
Ma Chuyang chased after Madam Meng and asked, "How is my wife? Why has there been no movement for so long? Is there anything wrong? Do I need to prepare anything?"
What else needs to be prepared? Several old ginsengs have been taken from the treasury of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. Lady Meng smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, General Ma. Your wife is in good health, and the fetus is in the right position. There's nothing to worry about."
It's okay, but he never came out after entering... An hour passed, half a day passed, and no screams were heard from inside.
Madam Meng came out and said that we had to wait a little longer.
Ma Chuyang looked like he was crying. He pulled Tang Xinghe aside and asked, "Brother, is Shuang'er okay?"
Tang Xinghe had no idea of this. Veins on the back of his hands bulged and he felt extremely nervous.
It was Hong Que who came over to comfort her with her big belly, "Don't worry, Sister Shuang'er is fine. Madam Meng has always said that our fetuses are in the right position, so don't worry."
Ma Chuyang wandered around for a long time, and finally saw Madam Meng come out again. He pulled her aside and said, "No matter what, please protect the master. Protect the master first. My wife must not be in any harm!"
Madam Meng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "If we can't get to that point, why would I protect the adults? I'll protect both the adults and the children for you!"
Madam Meng went into the house and told Chi Shuang about this, "General Ma is so kind. Madam, you are so lucky."
Chi Shuang smiled gently, "Well, he's very good."
It was at this moment that she truly developed a persistent desire to be with Ma Chuyang forever.
When the sun was about to set, Chi Shuang suddenly howled at the top of her lungs.
But just as he was about to stop howling, the room fell into a dead silence for a moment, and then he heard the child cry out "Wow", his voice so loud that it could shake the dust off the beams.
Madam Meng was so happy that she kept shouting, "The golden voice reaches the sky! It beats the gongs and drums of the top scholar! He shoulders the responsibilities of both the civil and military stars!"
It was a boy, named Pond.
Everyone congratulated each other.
Qin Fangfei was so happy that she gave out all the red envelopes she had prepared.
Every maid and old woman who delivered the baby got a share, and the one stuffed into Madam Meng's hands was the thickest, bulging the red silk bag.
Zheng Qiaoer also prepared red envelopes, which were all given away, and everyone was happy.
As soon as Chi Shuang gave birth, Hong Que's stomach started to hurt, and she was rushed to the delivery room next door.
The red envelope in Mrs. Meng's arms had not yet warmed up when she turned around to look after Hongque again.
Hong Que's birth was smoother than Chi Shuang's. After just three applications of hot towels, the baby slipped into the cradle.
Madam Meng lifted the baby up and said with a smile, "A pearl in my palm descended into the magnificent corridor, with jade-like bones and skin as beautiful as the crabapple tree. May you live a hundred years without illness or disaster, and may you enjoy a long and blessed life!"
It's a daughter! Her name is Tang Ci!
A pond, a piece of Tang porcelain, how could such a name not lead to a child marriage? The two families immediately agreed, and everyone was happy.
The imperial court immediately issued a special decree: "In consideration of the brilliant military achievements of Zhaowu School Lieutenant Chi Yue, whose ancestral temple has no heir, we hereby permit his nephew to inherit the Chi surname and continue the incense offerings at the Loyal Martyrs' Temple."
Old Ma was overjoyed to learn that his youngest daughter-in-law had given birth to a grandson. But then he heard that the imperial court had issued a special decree, giving the grandson the surname Chi... He felt as if the sky had fallen.
That night, he set out from the farm and rushed to Bixia Pass to complain to his eldest son, Ma Chuyi. "Your brother is such a scoundrel! Why should the descendants of our Ma family have another family name? Go tell him, I don't agree! I don't agree!"
