Zhuo Qihua

Inside the house, Zhuo Ji's hand touched Deguixie's belly from time to time to confirm the condition of the fetus.The soothing words and actions of the midwife relieved the anxiety and tension of many noble ladies, but the baby doctor was useless.Zhuo Ji didn't intervene at this time, and left it to the midwife to handle it completely, and would only remind when necessary.After all, the midwifery nurse has not been trained long enough, nor is she experienced enough.

Almost half an hour later, there was still no hot water and white cloth brought in in the delivery room, the Empress Dowager couldn't sit still, she called Aunt Shen to go outside the door to ask what was going on inside.Wang Bao said at this time: "Queen Mother, the delivery room has been sterilized, and if outsiders go in at this time, they may bring some unclean things. The master has ordered the slaves, and he will call people in if necessary. .And if you want to go in, you have to be sterilized first."

The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Yong'an, and Emperor Yong'an nodded to her. The Empress Dowager held the Buddhist beads tightly in her hand: "Then, then wait a little longer."

Deguixie's mother knew what disinfection was, and Jiaguixie and Mingxie also knew that the side rooms of their bedroom had also been converted into delivery rooms, but the others didn't know.Concubine Xi smartly didn't ask, Qi Yiguo wanted to ask but didn't dare, Liu Xizhu boldly asked: "My lord, what is disinfection?"

Wang Bao: "It is to clean the house with special disinfectants. I can't explain the specific meaning of this."

It was not easy for Liu Xizhu to ask questions. At this time, the voice of Dezhen in the room suddenly rose several times. The Queen Mother stood up, Emperor Yong'an stood up, and everyone stood up. Immediately afterwards, they heard a loud and clear voice. baby crying.The queen mother was shocked: "It was born so soon?!"

Deguixie's mother was also shocked, so fast? !

Inside the house, the baby's loud cry told everyone waiting outside that he came out so soon!The baby was still crying, and the door of the side room was pushed open from the inside. The fully armed Fuquan took off his mask and kneeled down to the people outside with tears in his eyes, and said: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother! Congratulations to Your Majesty! Your Majesty! A prince has been born! You and His Highness, mother and child are safe!"

The queen mother yelled "ah", and grabbed the emperor beside her with her hand: "The emperor! It's the prince! De Guixie gave birth to a prince for you!"

Emperor Yong'an excitedly pulled out the arm held by the queen mother and rushed over. Fuquan hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, wait a moment. By the way, I said that you can visit your majesty after you move your concubine back to the house."

"Good! Good! Good!"

After saying good things three times in a row, Emperor Yong'an withdrew.Huang Guixie sat down slowly holding Chang'an's hand, with a certain kind of joy on his face.With Zhuo Ji here, his birth will surely be as smooth as De Guixie's!

■

It only took Deguixie one and a half hours from going to the delivery bed to getting out of the delivery bed, which also included cleaning up after giving birth, suturing the wound, applying medicine, changing clothes, and an hour of postpartum observation.Degui Xie was put on a stretcher and carried back to the bedroom with a blanket covering her body.Zhuo Ji was ordered not to have too many people in the room of Deguixie and His Highness, Emperor Yong'an asked the others to go back first, leaving only him, the queen mother, Xiguifei and Deguixie's mother.Huang Guixie and Mingxie are both pregnant with children, out of taboo, it is inconvenient for them to see Deguixie who has just given birth.

The little highness who was just born and washed with clean water is a bit ugly, but Zhuo Ji likes it very much.He who has experienced the last days, perhaps only a new life can give him joy and peace from the bottom of his heart.

Zhuo Ji carried the child out of the delivery room. He had already changed out of all his armor and was dressed in a clean bright blue uniform. His Highness was wrapped in a sheet that was not too thick.Zhuo Ji appeared with the baby in his arms, and everyone immediately went up to meet him.Zhuo Ji lifted the veil from the child's face, and a cry came from inside the room: "Why is he so white?!"

The Empress Dowager, Concubine Xigui and Deguixie's mothers were all taken aback, even Emperor Yong'an was taken aback.Zhuo Ji smiled and said: "This is not Bai Sensen, this is vernix. Vernix is ​​to protect the fetus from being directly soaked in amniotic fluid in the mother's womb. It is so obvious like His Royal Highness, it shows that he has developed well and absorbed enough nutrients Vernix will protect his skin and maintain body temperature, and it will be absorbed by itself in a day or two."

De Guixie, who had already been popularized by Zhuo Ji, was still uncontrollably proud when he heard that Zhuo Ji had once again popularized science.His baby is doing well.

"That's it, this is the first time I've seen it, and it's the first time I've heard it." The queen mother stretched out her hand to hug the child, but she rang again for disinfection, and then took her hand back.

Zhuo Ji: "Queen, you can hug after washing your hands."

The Queen Mother immediately went out to wash her hands. When she walked away, the corners of her eyes were moist.

Emperor Yong'an didn't intend to hold the child, he took a deep look at Zhuo Ji, who was holding the baby in his arms, smiling, with gentle eyes, then walked to the bedside and said to De Gui Xie, "Your Gui Xie has worked hard."

De Guixie: "The servants are alright, the hardest thing is Shunxi."

Emperor Yong'an bent down to tuck Degui Xie under the blanket, then straightened his waist and said, "Third Prince, give me the name 'Chen'an'. Mu'an 'Ecalyptus'. Tough and straight, safe and smooth."

De Guixie held back his tears: "I thank Your Majesty for the name."

The queen mother came back, and Zhuo Ji handed over the child to the queen mother.The third prince is sleeping with his eyes closed, newborn babies are ugly, this third prince...

"The old Chen Yu is really beautiful. Emperor, look, this little face is not wrinkled at all, it's smooth and smooth." It's just that Bai Sen is a little bit, but Bai Sen's is good.

Emperor Yong'an looked at the child with tenderness and liking that rarely appeared in front of outsiders.Concubine Xi was so envious, the Empress Dowager glanced at her and said, "Concubine Gui, go and wash your hands."

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

Concubine Xi ran out ecstatically to wash her hands.Degui Xie's mother was silently wiping away her tears, her son gave birth so safely and he was still a prince, how could she not be happy and excited.

After the Empress Dowager handed over the child to Concubine Xigui, she said to Emperor Yong'an: "Emperor, although the palace wants to reduce the expenses, the 'washing three' is unavoidable."

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "Naturally. I will ask your concubine to arrange it."

Empress Dowager: "Your Majesty is pregnant, so it's inconvenient to work hard, so come here when you are old."

"Okay, then I will work hard on my mother."

The Empress Dowager personally took care of the child's third bath, and De Guixie thanked her immediately, and she was also very happy.Zhuo Ji told Deguixie some things that needed attention and proposed to go back first, and Deguixie told him to go back and rest quickly.Zhuo Ji left, and Emperor Yong'an also left after sitting for a while.

When Zhuo Ji returned to Xiangfu Palace, he sat down on the soft chair, and Xiaohui, who came in with him, quickly gave him a massage and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just think it's scary for brother Miao to have a baby."

Xiaohui: "..."

"I want to take a bath, just eat something."

"Yes, servant girl, let me go on."

Xiaohui went out, Zhuo Ji shuddered, it was really scary and weird for Brother Mu to have a baby.But today was really smooth, and Zhuo Ji was really relieved.In ancient medical conditions, caesarean section was required, which would really kill people.Even he can't help it.Zhuo Ji closed his eyes and rested his mind, and a person walked in softly, Zhuo Ji's sensory radar reminded him that someone was coming, he hummed and said: "Xiaohui, Chang Jing, they came back and asked them to disinfect the things, and put them away after disinfection. "

"are you tired."

Zhuo Ji opened his eyes: "Your Majesty?"

Emperor Yong'an came over and picked up Zhuo Ji, then dove occupied the magpie's nest and hugged Zhuo Ji on his lap.Holding Zhuo Ji's hand, Emperor Yong'an said: "Your concubine's ability to give birth to the third prince so smoothly is all thanks to you."

Zhuo Ji put his arms around Emperor Yong'an's neck: "Your Majesty, credit can't just be verbal rewards. To make a horse run fast, you have to feed the horse."

Emperor Yong'an was amused: "Okay, what kind of grass does your horse want to eat?"

Zhuo Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I want a piece of land."

"land?"

"Wouldn't Your Majesty reward the ministers with a lot of acres of fertile land?"

Emperor Yong'an understood, he pinched Zhuo Ji's nose: "What is the use of the land?"

"Your Majesty, you don't understand people's desire for land in the future. Anyone who has a piece of land, even a small piece of land in front of or behind the house, will be envied. Everyone is fighting for their heads. I want a piece of land on which I can build a house that I like, and plant something I want to grow. Occasionally, when I have the opportunity, I will live there for two days, and I am very happy."

Emperor Yong'an smiled and said: "Look at you, you are worthless. If you want to live there, I have to agree with you. I can give you the land. How about I give you five hundred acres of fertile land?"

Zhuo Ji exclaimed: "Five hundred mu?"

"not enough?"

Sure enough, he is the emperor, so rich and powerful!Zhuo Ji shook his head fiercely: "No, no, I don't need that much, just give me four or five acres."

Emperor Yong'an frowned: "My dear servant, four or five acres, you don't feel ashamed, but I also feel ashamed!"

"It's really not that much. Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know that I'm good for it. I only need five acres."

Emperor Yong'an looked helpless with Zhuo Ji: "Forget it, you said five acres is five acres, and there is no need to go to the household department. I will ask Zhang Xian to give you my private field tomorrow, and you can choose it yourself. .”

Zhuo Ji was surprised: "Your Majesty, do you still have private land?"

Emperor Yong'an said as a matter of course: "Of course I have private land and property, otherwise, where will the money in my private treasury come from?"

Zhuo Ji: "Oh, it turns out that His Majesty's personal money came from these places. I thought it was from the state treasury."

Emperor Yong'an: "I can't even tamper with the silver that has entered the national treasury. I can share [-]% of the stolen silver from the house raids. I own all the antiques and jades, and part of the house land will also belong to me. I will appoint someone to take care of my private property, and even the queen has no right to intervene. In addition, the household department will allocate some of the annual tax revenue to my private house."

Zhuo Ji blinked his eyes: "But Your Majesty doesn't have much real money in his private treasury right now?"

Emperor Yong'an pinched Zhuo Ji's nose hard: "I have no more money, and I still have some money to buy some private property for you. And the money I lent out will be returned to me with interest when the household department has money. .”

Zhuo Ji held Emperor Yong'an's hand to prevent him from pinching his nose again, and said, "I will take care of private property and so on, and maybe you will have to borrow money from me in the future, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an smiled instead of anger: "Okay, I will wait for the day when I borrow money from you!"

Speaking of private money, Zhuo Ji also remembered something, he got off Emperor Yong'an and went out for a while, and then came back soon.When he came back, he continued to nest in Emperor Yong'an's arms, and Emperor Yong'an didn't ask him what he was doing.

After a while, Chang Jing came, holding a wooden box in his hand.After placing the wooden box on the table beside the emperor, he bowed and retreated.Zhuo Ji opened the box and took out two ledgers from it.

"Come and see how much private money I have now."

Emperor Yong'an became interested as soon as he heard it.

Zhuo Jina's first account book belonged to the pharmacy.When Emperor Yong'an saw how much money Zhuo Ji was getting, he was surprised: "There are so many?" How long has it been open for?Zhuo Ji's net profit was more than 2000 taels!

Zhuo Ji sighed: "It can only be said that there are too many men with kidney deficiency and impotence in the capital."

Emperor Yong'an immediately said: "I don't have those problems!" After speaking, Emperor Yong'an realized, "That's not right. You opened your pharmacy for me, right? Why did the money come to you?"

Zhuo Ji: "..."

Emperor Yong'an looked at Zhuo Ji, his eyes became dangerous, Zhuo Ji closed the ledger and took out the second one: "Your Majesty, look at this and this, it belongs to the paper mill."

Emperor Yong'an took the account book of the paper mill from Zhuo Ji and opened it. After seeing it, Emperor Yong'an was even more surprised: "How come there are three thousand one hundred and forty one taels? It's more profitable than the pharmacy?"

Zhuo Ji was also very surprised, he was so busy recently that he didn't even look at how much money he earned.Afterwards, he proudly said: "How about it, Your Majesty. You still don't like toilet paper. You can't pay close attention to small accounts. This is called small profits but quick turnover. Toilet paper is very cheap, but there are too many people who buy it. The paper mill was built in Near the bamboo forest, materials were collected on site.

Bamboo regenerates every year, even if we don't cut it down, once the bamboo blooms, the bamboo will die one by one.Now, we have made bamboo into toilet paper. As long as people have a little money in their pockets, they will buy some to use.Such soft fingers are better than toilet chips.And the toilets are very unhygienic.This toilet paper is only sold in the area around the paper mill, and the supply is still in short supply. When the toilet paper is sold all over the country, the money will be pouring in.The craft of making toilet paper is only in my hands.Your Majesty, you are now encouraging craftsmen to innovate, and this patent bill must keep up.Otherwise, piracy will definitely appear in the future, which will have a great impact on originality and patents, and will also affect the market.As soon as the patent law came out, I was the first to apply. "

Emperor Yong'an sighed in his heart, a toilet paper that he only thought was filthy could make so much money!After closing the account book, Emperor Yong'an put it back into the box and said: "I will discuss with the officials and draft the patent bill. But you need to give me a model of the patent bill first, and I need to have a basic understanding of what the patent bill is." .”

"Okay. Brother Tong gave birth, and I'm fine for the time being. I'll write it up and hand it over to you in a few days."

Emperor Yong'an: "Now tell me about the dividends of this pharmacy."

"Your Majesty! You are so rich and still miss my little money?"

"You are wrong. What I need most now is money."

"Then I don't want the dividends from the glass factory and the stainless steel factory?"

"Really not?"

Emperor Yong'an didn't expect Zhuo Ji to say that.Zhuo Ji: "It was a joke at the time. If the glass factory and the stainless steel factory were officially put into operation, the profits would be too great. Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn't dare to take it. But the dividend you promised to me, Your Majesty, can't just be that into the treasury."

Emperor Yong'an smiled and said: "You dare not ask for it, and you don't allow me to put it into the treasury. You said just now that I might have to let you borrow money someday. Then you can give me the dividend."

Zhuo Ji: "It's okay to give it to His Majesty, but His Majesty is not allowed to ask about the dividends of the pharmacy."

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "Yes."

Both of them got something, and everyone was happy.
