Chapter 218: Dajin Extra (3)
Wei Shiyuan gave birth when she was eight months pregnant. She slipped and fell to the ground. Although the maid beside her was quick to do a massage and helped Wei Shiyuan relieve a lot of pain, the fetus was disturbed and the baby was born prematurely.
When the news came out from the mansion, Meng He and Wei Qichen were busy in the fields, instructing some new agricultural officials.
Hearing this news, Wei Qichen stood there shaky, at a loss, or Meng He shouted with a pale face: "Uncle, we have to go back and see Shiyuan first. Don't worry, the mansion must have invited the imperial physician."
Wei Qichen was so confused that he didn't care about Meng He's address for a moment. The two of them rode back together on a fast horse.
When they reached the outside of the yard, Wei Shiyuan's deafening cries could be heard from inside the house, and the two men's faces turned pale.
"I, I want to go in and see what's wrong with Shiyuan!" Wei Qichen shouted.
Even though she is not his own biological child, he has raised her in front of him since she was a child and is no different from his own. Now that she is screaming so miserably in there, Wei Qichen wishes he could go up and take the blame for her.
"Hey, men can't go in." Jiang Yan hurried to stop them.
Meng He advised from the side, "Uncle, you really can't go in! There's a doctor inside!"
Although there was a doctor, Meng He was still not at ease. The medical technology in this era was backward, and giving birth for women was like crossing the gates of hell! What's more, his wife gave birth after being injured, and he didn't know if there would be any problems with her body.
At this time Meng He began to hate himself. If he had studied medicine in the first place, it would have been great. There wouldn't have been so many problems!
He can even go in and save his wife now!
After Wei Shiyuan had been calling for four hours, the noise inside finally died down. With the cry of a baby, the midwife pushed open the door and took out the crying child in the cradle.
"Congratulations to this sir on the birth of a daughter!" The midwife held the child, standing in the corridor to avoid the wind, and was watched by several people.
It was too dark to see clearly, so Meng He could only rely on the faint light from the door to see the child's outline, and then asked with concern: "What happened to my wife?"
The midwife continued, "Don't worry, your wife is fine. She just fainted due to the exhaustion from childbirth. She should wake up tomorrow."
Hearing this, Meng He breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was relieved, Meng He was still worried, so he asked Wei Qichen to let him stay in the garden for one night.
Thinking about Meng He's actions today and the fact that Wei Shiyuan gave birth to a child, he is the child's biological father after all, so it is normal to let him stay here.
Wei Qichen: "Okay, you can live in the same yard with me. You can't disturb Shiyuan, okay?"
"I know, uncle, don't worry."
Wei Shiyuan finally woke up on the afternoon of the next day.
Looking at the child she had given birth to after surviving many life-threatening situations, which was carried to her by the servant, Wei Shiyuan felt soft in her heart, but more of it was pain!
Damn it, giving birth is so painful, she will never give birth again!
"Miss, it's a girl." The maid said beside her.
Wei Shiyuan touched the child's cheek and said, "Yes, I know."
When the umbilical cord was cut after the baby was born, she was still awake and knew that she had given birth to a daughter! Daughters are good, and daughters are always sweet and caring.
More importantly, if she gave birth to a daughter who could not inherit the throne, Meng He would not compete with her for it.
For Wei Shiyuan, the most important thing is that the child is always by her side, not whether the child is a prince or princess.
On the third day after the child was born, Wei Shiyuan gave her a name, Luo An, Wei Luo An, and her nickname was An An, which means that she hopes the child can grow up safely.
On the day of the full moon banquet, many court officials in the capital sent gifts, and even the palace sent people to deliver things. Even though the Wei family didn't tell anyone else and didn't invite many people, but just let their family members have a meal together, the people coming and going in front of the mansion were still very lively.
Meng He was also brought to the banquet, met his daughter, and even hugged her.
The old father was so excited that he burst into tears. He finally had a relative in this world who was related to him by blood. It seemed as if he had really started to take root here.
Meng He didn't hold his daughter excitedly for long before Wei Shiyuan asked the nanny to take her away.
The old father was immersed in the joy of having a daughter one second, and the next second he was suffering from the pain of his daughter not being around, wuwuwuwuwu.
Meng He cried very sadly in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
After the banquet, Meng He went to negotiate with Wei Shiyuan and finally won the visitation rights for his daughter. He could only see his daughter once a month, and that had to be under Wei Shiyuan's nose. If Meng He did anything that made Wei Shiyuan unhappy, Wei Shiyuan had the right to cancel his visitation rights.
Knowing that Wei Shiyuan was not an unreasonable person, Meng He agreed to this.
The next year, Jiang Yan also became pregnant and gave birth to twin sons.
Because she was pregnant with twins, childbirth was extremely dangerous. Qiao Xun stood outside anxiously, staying up all day and night without sleep, and finally got the news that mother and child were safe.
There are two boys, one is named Qiao Yang and the other is named Qiao Lu.
Yaoguang came back in the third year. When she came back, there were children running around in the yard.
Wei Luoan was very lively. After learning to walk, he ran around the yard happily. He also liked to hide everywhere, play hide-and-seek, and let the servants find him.
Even though there was a wet nurse and five or six maids following her, they didn't even blink an eye, but in the blink of an eye, no one knew where the person had hidden.
After they had been anxious for a long time, they found that Wei Luoan walked out from the tree by himself. Because the tree was thick enough to block Wei Luoan's figure, and because he was young and the child was also small, no one noticed him at all.
As a result, the slaves in the yard were trained to be experts in finding children, and they could find children in various places.
The more this happened, the more Wei Luoan wanted to compete with them, so when he was a little over two years old, he learned to climb trees. He could climb up a tree and hide by himself, making it more difficult for the servants in the yard to find him.
When it was getting dark and his mother was about to appear, Wei Luoan would jump down in advance, appear in front of them without anyone noticing, and run happily by himself.
This was the scene Yaoguang saw when she arrived.
A little girl followed behind the servant, small and nimble.
She would even use the obstacles nearby to hide her body, and while running happily, she would watch her servants become extremely anxious.
"Whose child is this?" Yaoguang asked. His eyes were fixed on a small figure behind the stone bench. The servant followed Yaoguang's gaze and found Wei Luoan hiding behind it.
"Hello, Miss Yaoguang. This is the little lady, the child of Miss Shiyuan." The nanny explained. She was frightened by Wei Luoan and her heart was beating fast. After picking up Wei Luoan, she patted her chest.
When Wei Luoan heard the servant call her Yaoguang, his eyes lit up and he said to Yaoguang excitedly: "You are Aunt Yaoguang, the owner of this yard. My mother told me about you."
After saying this, Wei Luoan stretched out his arms to Yaoguang in a very familiar manner: "Aunt, hold me."
Yaoguang thought for a moment, did not refuse the little girl's request, and directly picked her up.
The happy little girl hugged Yaoguang's neck tightly, smiling brightly: "Aunt, you are so nice. My mother said you are a very good person, and my father also said you are very capable. Aunt, can you show me how capable you are? I heard that you have been learning some new skills outside."
The little girl didn't know what craft was, so she could only repeat the words the adults said.
Everyone in the mansion knew this aunt and everyone liked her. Before this, Wei Luoan thought she was the most popular girl in the mansion. As a result, she became more and more curious about Yaoguang.
"No." Yaoguang rejected the little girl very simply and clearly.
The little girl pouted and hugged Yaoguang's neck and shook her, but Yaoguang was very principled and did not demonstrate her ability or throw the little girl out.
Until he sent the child to Wei Shiyuan and returned it to her personally.
Wei Shiyuan was naturally happy to see Yaoguang again. She was so happy that she even forgot about her daughter and kept asking Yaoguang about her well-being, which made Wei Luoan next to her start to get jealous.
Not only her mother, but everyone else in the mansion was like this as well.
Wei Luoan mentioned this to her father, and Meng He told her that her aunt would not stay here for long, and would leave again in two or three months at most.
Leave, where to go?
Wei Luoan didn't think about it carefully after hearing this. She just felt that this aunt seemed very powerful. Even if she was not always obedient to her, at least she was the same to her two twin brothers. So Wei Luoan forgave her.
I even secretly like her in my heart!
As for the unanimous liking for her by everyone in the mansion, Wei Luoan was not jealous. She also wanted her aunt to like her.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for Yaoguang to leave.
Wei Luoan grabbed Yaoguang's legs and asked her crying, "Aunt, can you please not leave?"
"No."
Although he knew the answer, Wei Luoan was still very sad and burst into tears.
Yaoguang picked up Wei Luoan directly, and when Wei Luoan thought that she was going to hold him in her arms and comfort him carefully, she stuffed him directly into Wei Shiyuan's arms. Wei Luoan was so frightened that he opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time.
She is so heartless!
Wei Luoan thought about it, stopped crying and looked at Yaoguang.
"Aunt, when will you come back next time?"
"Maybe three years later." Yaoguang gave an ambiguous answer.
It could be three years, or it could be two years.
Wei Luoan didn't know how long three years was. After waiting for five days and getting tired of waiting,
I found the adults and servants in the mansion and asked them all where Aunt Yaoguang had gone.
The answers they got were either that Aunt Yaoguang had gone out to serve the country and the people, or that Aunt Yaoguang had gone to a very far place and they didn't know either.
Three years seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. Children don’t have good memories. Three years later, when Wei Luoan had almost forgotten Yaoguang, Yaoguang appeared again.
The person in his memory appeared in front of him, and Wei Luoan’s long-lost memories were awakened.
Even if she doesn't like climbing mountains or playing hide-and-seek, she will pounce on Yaoguang at the first opportunity.
"Aunt Yaoguang."
"Long time no see, Luoan, you've grown so big." Yaoguang said as she picked up Wei Luoan.
These three years seemed a bit short for her. It was as if she had just gone out for a trip and dealt with some things, and the child had grown up a lot.
Just like before, Yaoguang stayed here for three or four months.
But this time was different from before. The two younger brothers and one younger sister of the Qiao family began to pester Yaoguang and compete with her for favor.
For the first time, Wei Luoan felt what house fighting was and the necessity of competing for favor.
Fortunately, Aunt Yaoguang was still impartial and never favored any one child over another. This made Wei Luoan feel very relieved, and he was secretly trying to get closer to Yaoguang.
But three months passed very quickly, and all of a sudden, Yaoguang was leaving again.
This time Wei Luoan did not cry, but his three younger brothers and sisters cried so hard that they pestered Yaoguang and would not let her leave.
Fortunately, the servants below already had experience, and several of them were taken away without even touching Yaoguang's trouser legs.
As the crying sound became farther and farther away, Wei Luoan gradually recalled her childhood. At that time, her aunt had held her in her arms and put her in her mother's arms. Did this prove that her aunt was more special to her?
Wei Luoan's secret attempt to win favor was unknown to others.
But before Yaoguang left, Wei Luoan walked up to her and hugged her.
And so it went, three years after three years, each time being three years away from home. The next meeting seemed like a scheduled time, but it also felt like a long time away.
As Wei Luoan grew older, she also discovered some things.
Every time my aunt showed up, she was wearing the same clothes she was wearing the last time she left.
My aunt is very young, and has always been the same. My mother is getting older and older, with a lot of white hair on her head, but my aunt is different. She seems to be the same as when I first met her, and has always been very young.
Where does my aunt go every time she goes out?
She came empty-handed and left empty-handed, taking nothing with her, and no one watched her leave the house. Where did she go?
All kinds of doubts hung in Wei Luoan's mind. She couldn't help but ran to ask Wei Shiyuan.
Wei Shiyuan was silent for a while before she said, "Your Aunt Yaoguang is a fairy in heaven. One day in heaven equals three years on earth. She comes back every day, so everything looks pretty much the same every year."
"Mom, I'm not a child anymore, how could I believe in such things?" Wei Luoan pouted, feeling a little helpless.
She always felt that her family was hiding something from her, things that they all knew but she was the only one who didn't know.
In desperation, Wei Luoan went to find Meng He and asked him about the details.
Because she accidentally heard her parents talking once, and her father said that he would not lie to her and her, so he definitely would not tell lies, right?
