Chapter 521: New Family (Part 2)

The heat in the delivery room was boiling, basically in a state of non-ventilation. With so many people and the temperature emitted by hot water, it seemed very stuffy.

It is said that mothers who are too jealous of the wind and have to be in bed for one month, which is called confinement. In fact, if you really want to calculate, those ordinary women do not have this condition. Most of them are born and rest for a day or two and have to go to the fields to do farm work.

Of course, there is also a saying that it is okay now, joint pain, arthritis, etc. in his later years. In fact, Liu Tao thinks it makes sense. He doesn’t take good care of his health when he was young, and he is sick all over the age. He doesn’t say that he has a lot of cancer in his sixties or seventies, or fifty or sixty years old.

Peasant women are peasant women. Most peasant women live less than 40 or 50 years old. Who cares about the problem of being in their sixties and seventies? But rich people are different, and there are all in their seventies and eighties. It’s okay to be careful.

"How are you preparing for the greenhouse?" Liu Tao found the eunuch in the house and asked.

"It's ready and can be put into use at any time." The eunuch who was asked was stunned and then replied quickly.

The greenhouse was specially prepared by Liu Tao for these mothers. It is wide enough to be able to move and read. It is mainly for geothermal heating, and ventilation is also OK. It is mainly for waste fuel, but Liu Tao can afford this fuel fee.

"Well..." Liu Tao nodded, "Take care of the greenhouse and the queen moves over to recuperate in two days."

"Abide by the order!" the eunuch responded quickly and then went down to make arrangements.

At this time, the foster women had cleaned up the filth, took a simple bath for the child, wrapped it in cloth, and placed it on the bed. This was not the first time Cai Yan gave birth, so although she was tired, she was still energetic.

"Thank you so hard for my queen!" Liu Tao walked in and came to the bed.

"I am incompetent, I gave birth to a princess this time." Cai Yan replied with apologies.

"Haha, I said earlier that it's the same for a boy or a girl. Other people's family is the business of others, and here we follow my rules. What's wrong with the princess? If you are really talented, you can be the first queen of the Han Dynasty!" Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is careful, how can a woman be the emperor?" Cai Yan suddenly became a little anxious when he heard this.

"Yes... no woman is the emperor..." Liu Tao sighed. There was a Wu Zetian in China that appeared in a flash in the pan. However, in just over 30 years, she turned back to Li Tang. In the end, Wu Zhou was just a joke.

There was a female emperor in the island country next door. The main reason is that the emperor's bloodline has faith and divinity among the people, so even the female emperor is willing to admit that China is not good, and it is always like "Will the kings, princes, generals and ministers have a seed?"

There is a sentence in Shi Nai'an's "Journey to the West": "The emperor takes turns to do it, and this year he will come to my house." Because of this sentence, "Journey to the West" once became a banned book.

The imperial examination system has been released, and Liu Tao has not been able to allow women to take the scientific examination and become officials. After all, it is also a problem of the times. Anyway, the women of gentry and wealthy families account for a minority.

In this era, the vast majority of women can show up in public, such as farming, doing business, work, etc., and they have no foot binding, which is much freer than in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

So in the end, the feminist movement only took care of a very small number of women, and offended most of the classes in this society. After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Tao did not deliberately do it.

"What name do the child want to give?" Cai Yan saw Liu Tao's expression and thought he had this idea, so he quickly changed the topic.

"I have looked for my father... No, it was him who came to me and kept hinting in front of me that the child was going to be born. Seeing that he was so active, it was difficult for me to destroy his enthusiasm, so I asked him for advice." Liu Tao sighed at first.

Liu Yuan called an old man, and was so embarrassed that he wanted to name his grandson. He probably wasn't happy that the first two were given to Cai Yong, so this time the names of several grandsons (daughters) were probably going to take care of themselves.

He paused and continued, "Men's requirements are to bring the five elements and add whatever is missing. Women's requirements are not big, they are sweet, cute, innocent and lively, gentle and kind. "

"The Supreme Emperor is too casual, right?" Cai Yan complained when he heard this, thinking that he prefers boys over girls, but it is hard to say it directly. After all, being filial to parents-in-law is also the responsibility of his wife. It is impossible for her to say bad things about her parents-in-law behind her back to her, for a good parent-in-law.

"There is no way, who made him the Supreme Emperor?" Liu Tao also expressed helplessness, "According to this naming method, he is called Liu Zhi."

Zhi is a grass that exudes fragrance that makes people stop, that is, I hope that Liu Zhi will grow sweet in the future and will stop at a glance. Girls, especially royal girls, are actually mostly used to marry their ministers.

I don’t ask for so much virtuousness, such a good knowledge, good-looking, and happy. Besides, my mother is the daughter of Cai Yan, a talented woman, who was taught by her. How could she be unvirtuous?

"Liu Zhi... This name is pretty good too." Cai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, at least it was not a nickname or a vulgar name.

There are brothels in this world. Although it is a place where literati and poets gather, there are also many courtesans who are not selling their own works. They originally had names, but after entering the industry, they would name them as flowers.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter to ordinary people to give their daughter a name, but people who are more particular will avoid this.

Don’t underestimate the name. The old man says, “As long as his name is”. Sometimes the name will directly affect a person’s personality. Just say, Princess Guantao, Liu Piao, the real person is like his name. Her daughter Chen Ajiao may be beautiful, but she is more arrogant.

"Although I look a little different from Xiangzhi now..." Liu Tao picked up his daughter and teased him as he looked at the little guy who was like a hairless monkey.

"Wow wow wow..." I don't know if I could understand what Liu Tao meant or wasn't used to being held by him, the child started crying on the spot and even urinated for a bubble.

Liu Tao didn't understand why he had shit and urine even though he had never eaten anything, but he was wet and had no choice. Cai Yan immediately took over and urged Liu Tao to go back and change his clothes. The latter returned the child and went back obediently.

The clothes had just been changed, but the family seemed to start to get turbulent again.

"What's the situation?" Liu Tao came out in new clothes to ask.

"Concubine Zhen seems to be about to give birth!" The eunuch passing by quickly replied. Who would have thought that Zhen Jiang had just finished giving birth not long after Cai Yan finished giving birth, so he had to go out quickly and call Wen Po back.

"Where is Concubine Ren and Kariel?" Liu Tao had to ask, don't wait until the same day is about to give birth again.

"There is no reaction yet." The eunuch thought about it and replied that the expected delivery dates of the two were at least a few more days. However, the expected delivery dates were only expected, and it is normal to advance or postpone them. Don't be more than one month in advance.

In later generations, there will be at least an insulated box one month in advance. If you change this world, it will be really fatal if you change it one month in advance.

"Send someone to take care of the two of you and report it immediately if you have any situation." Liu Tao gave instructed, and then headed towards Zhen Jiang. It seems that it is destined to be unable to remain peaceful tonight...

After working hard for a while, Wen Po came over. As a result, he checked a little and said that this was a fake birth and there was no need to be anxious. It should be because he saw Cai Yan being born, so he had a reaction.

Liu Tao didn't understand this very much, but just to be on the safe side, he kept two Wenpo for one night. Until the next day, Zhen Jiang had no pain, so he gave the two Wenpo some rewards and sent them away.

Even so, in early August, the three girls were also coming one after another, adding four new members to their family.

Ren Hongchang is indeed very powerful. He has two babies and two babies, as if he wants to make up for the regret of not being able to give birth to a boy for the first time. According to Liu Yuanqi's meaning, August is metal, and earth produces metal, so the names of the two are Obito.

So my brother was called Liu Tan and my younger brother was called Liu Ji. This was the result of discussion between Liu Tao and Ren Hongchang. My brother was taken by Ren Hongchang, which meant that he could be calm and broad, and he was at ease. In the final analysis, he did not want to snatch Liu Cong's throne.

My younger brother is called Liu Ji because Liu Tao remembers that Liu Bowen's name is Liu Ji, and Bowen is his name. The first is to have a strong character, but to hope to become a wise king.

Both Zhen Jiang and Kariel gave birth to daughters. Zhen Jiang's daughter was born first and named Liu Wei; Kariel's daughter was born one day later and named Liu Fen.

At this point, Liu Tao had seven children. At the age of four girls, each of them could give birth to at least four or five more children. In other words, theoretically, he might have thirty children in the future.

Born does not mean anything, it is the key to being able to grow up. There are many troubles in the imperial family. Before Liu Hong had Liu Bian, it was said that he had several children, but they all died prematurely. I don’t know if it was because of the poor care or if someone deliberately asked him to leave his daughter.

Finally, Liu Bian sent it to the Taoist priest to raise it, but he grew up smoothly. He was just dull and timid and afraid of things, and he looked like he was unable to become a great man. It is hard to say whether he was willing to protect himself. Anyway, it is a final conclusion now, so there is no need to prove anything.

In other words, although I have seven children, the real severe test has only begun now.

Born in the Emperor's House, this is the luck of these children and their greatest misfortune.

After a few girls have a child, they will be moved to the greenhouse for a day or two before they can live in the greenhouse. This place is warm enough so that they don’t need to stay on the bed and cover the quilt. There are sports equipment, pianos, desks and books, and you can also draw or play chess.

When you don’t usually have confinement, it is used as a recreation room, so it is not a waste.

With this greenhouse, the girls who were in confinement were at least relieved. It was not a solution to lie in bed without exercising. But they were worried that they would be sick after getting old, so they had to stay in the greenhouse for a month with the mentality of "rather believe it".

As for the issue of breastfeeding, it is said that several wet nurses can be asked, but as long as it is related to people, you can do something. Liu Tao also knows that he is suspicious, but for the sake of his children's healthy growth, he directly refers to goat milk to feed him.

I have collected a piece of land to raise more than ten sheep, squeezed and fed it now, and it is healthy and safe.

The girls also agreed with this. Not to mention Cai Yan had been a essay scholar in the palace, Ren Hongchang was a palace maid and vaguely knew some of the dirty things in the palace.

For the healthy growth of one's own children, it's a little more trouble, and the greatness of maternal love is fully expressed.

I was so busy until September that autumn harvest began one after another. Summer harvest was mainly aimed at the land where winter wheat was sown last year, and autumn harvest was the main theme. A large amount of grain began to be harvested, and it was purchased by local governments at market prices and then put into storage.

It's just a battle about food, but it's actually just started now...
