The rise of the poor

Chapter 1999 Giving birth

The sun rose and set, and another day of fruitful harvest came. The Japanese pirates, filled with joy of a good harvest, hummed songs, and returned to their old nest in Takulin.

"General Long, General Matsuura, your ninjas have been sent out for a few days, but have they succeeded? Why is there no news?"

At the celebration banquet, Maye couldn't help but ask Matsuura Shimosaburo and Ryuzoji Shingen that they had been waiting for so many days but there was no news and they were getting a little impatient.

"Haha, Ma-kun, the three ninjas we sent out are well-known in Matsuura and Hizen. They have carried out many secret missions for the family head and have never failed. No news now is the best news."

Matsuura Shimosaburo said with a chuckle, full of confidence in the three ninjas they sent out for assassination.

"No news is the best news? What does that mean?" Ma Ye was stunned and couldn't understand what he meant for a moment.

"No news, which means they haven't failed yet." Matsuura Shimosaburo raised his glass and said slowly.

You are quite humorous! Ma Ye almost couldn't help but complain.

"Haha, Ma Jun, please don't be anxious. Zhu Ping'an, the Governor-General of Zhejiang, Digahuo, is the ruler of a country. It is not easy to assassinate such an important figure. The three ninjas we sent out are all famous jonins, proficient in assassination. Assassination, they are professionals. Sachiko is the most patient. She patiently observes the target, approaches the target in the least suspicious way, and suddenly kills the target with one blow; Iga Zhilang, a great talent of Iga Ryu, is as light as a swallow. He will ride on the breeze and sneak into the target's mansion quietly. He will kill the target in his sleep with deadly methods such as blowing arrows, poisonous smoke, poison, and shuriken; Yakushi is proficient in Buddhism, Bazi, Feng Shui and other miscellaneous studies, and is the best at disguise. He has made 18 shots and never missed. Ma Jun waits patiently. The three jonin will definitely not fail."

Shingen Ryuzoji smiled and introduced the three ninjas they sent out, expressing his full confidence in them.

"Okay, then wait a little longer."

Seeing that Matsuura Shimosaburo and Ryuzoji Shingen were so confident, Maya also became excited.

"As long as we can get rid of Zhu Ping'an, it doesn't matter if we wait a few more days." Xu Hai raised his glass with a smile, "Let's drink this cup and wait for the three jonin to return triumphantly."

"Dry."

Maya, Matsuura Shimosaburo, and Ryuzoji Shingen followed suit and raised their glasses to drink.

Shaoxing.

The backyard of the Zhejiang Governor's Office became busy and intense, with maids and nannies running back and forth in a busy and orderly manner.

"Hot water, quick, keep boiling water on the stoves. The more hot water the better. Don't stop."

"Don't panic, bring in the scissors and cotton cloth you prepared."

Aunt Wang's voice came from the house, and the maid and the old woman immediately brought in the items Aunt Wang requested.

Just now, Li Shu suddenly felt a stomachache while taking a walk, and her uterine contractions were severe. Aunt Wang felt her pulse and said she was about to give birth.

Then, Li Shu was helped into the delivery room that had been prepared long ago.

Mr. Li and his two brothers-in-law were accompanying Li Shu for a walk. As soon as Li Shu entered the delivery room, they began to circle outside the room anxiously.

Zhu Ping'an was working in the front yamen. After receiving the news, he immediately ran over from the front yamen carrying his official uniform. As soon as he arrived, he wanted to go into the delivery room to accompany Li Shu and welcome the arrival of the new life together. Then he was stopped.

"My dear master, you can't go in. It's taboo and it's not good for the young lady's delivery. You just wait outside." The old maid blocked the door and refused firmly, "You can't help if you go in. You will only cause trouble."

"Master Zhu, I am here, so you can rest assured. There should not be too many people in the delivery room. If there are too many people, there will be a lot of noise, which will frighten the mother, and fright will make her weak and timid, causing her to feel sleepy during delivery."

Aunt Wang's voice also came from inside.

Seeing the determined faces of the old lady and others, Zhu Ping'an also realized that this was ancient times, which was different from modern times.

Nowadays, husbands are encouraged to accompany their wives in the delivery room. This is not only a way to show care for their wives, but also a way for them to welcome the arrival of a new life together. It is very meaningful.

However, it was different in ancient times. People in ancient times were feudal and superstitious. They believed that women would bleed and be dirty when giving birth. If a man entered the delivery room, he would get into a bloody disaster, which was unlucky and would affect his fortune. In addition, there were other considerations, such as worrying about the wind coming in and affecting the mother, as well as what Aunt Wang said.

"Brother Zhu, don't come in. I don't want you to see me like this." Li Shu's anxious voice also came from the delivery room.

Li Shu is arrogant. She feels a little embarrassed now and doesn't want Zhu Pingan to see her ugly side.

"Just wait outside quietly and don't cause trouble for my precious girl!" The father-in-law outside glared at Zhu Ping'an with a dark face.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait outside." Zhu Ping'an responded quickly, and waited anxiously outside the delivery room.

ah.
Li Shu's hoarse voice could be heard from the room from time to time.

Zhu Ping'an, the wealthy Li, and his two brothers-in-law heard Li Shu's cries of pain and were all pacing outside the delivery room in worry.

Zhu Ping'an was spinning and bumping into the wealthy Li who was also spinning. Li scolded him, "You are so old, can't you have some self-control? You are spinning and spinning, and I am dizzy! Now you are nervous and worried, what were you doing before? How old is my Shu'er, and she is giving birth to a child for you!"

Zhu Ping'an nodded timidly and dared not say a word.

"Miss, push harder, I can already see the young master's head." Aunt Wang's voice was heard in the delivery room, directing Li Shu to push harder.

"what"

Li Shu's painful voice continued to come out from the delivery room.

"Giving birth to a child is like going through the gates of hell, especially for the first child." The rich man Li listened to Li Shu's painful voice, and tears flowed from his eyes. He didn't care about teaching Zhu Pingan a lesson anymore, and started to spin in circles again. While spinning in circles, he clasped his hands together and kowtowed to the sky and in all directions, praying:
"God bless, God bless, please keep my Shu'er and her child safe."

"May the Buddha bless me, may the God of Fortune bless me, and may my Shu'er and her child be safe and sound."

"Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you, please keep my Shu'er and her child safe."

"May Mazu bless me, may Mazu bless me, may my Shu'er and her child be safe."

"Ancestors, please bless me, please bless my Shu'er and her son to be safe."

"May his mother bless us, may his mother bless us, may our daughter and her child be safe."

The rich man Li prayed to all the gods, Buddhas, ancestors, etc., without leaving out any one, asking them to bless Li Shu and her son with safety.

"Eldest son, second son, have you burned incense for the deity and Buddha statues we invited?" Mr. Li, a wealthy man, asked his two sons while praying for God's blessings.

"Dad, don't worry. It's all on. Since the day we brought it home, the incense has never stopped burning, twelve hours a day without a break."

The two brothers-in-law patted their chests and replied.
