Chapter 627
The two children were wrapped in a cloth and put together, their faces were red and wrinkled. They looked similar, but if you looked closely, you could find their differences.
The younger brother seems to be a little fatter than the elder brother.
And it could be seen that the younger brother was very lively, he closed his eyes and yawned a little, moved his little body before tilting his head and leaning towards his elder brother to sleep.
Seeing that Gu Jingyun's heart was about to melt, he couldn't help touching their faces with his fingertips.
When An An and Niu Niu changed into clean clothes and walked in cautiously, they saw Gu Jingyun looking tenderly at the two children side by side on the small bed.
Niu Niu leaned over to look, and exclaimed in a low voice, "It's so ugly, even uglier than when An An was born."
An An heard the words and immediately dragged the stool to the bed, stepped on the stool and tiptoed to look at her brothers.
Seeing the two small quilts wrapped in the quilt, which was still tied with a cloth rope, she couldn't help but feel distressed, "Daddy, do the younger brothers hurt, do you want to untie them?"
Gu Jingyun touched her little head, and said with a smile: "All children are bound like this, and you were also like this when you were a child. After their bones harden, they can be loosened."
"Will they listen to me?"
"If it's correct, they will naturally try their best to listen, so An An should try her best to be a good sister."
"Then can I beat them up if they did something wrong?"
"Can."
Only then did An An feel a sense of pride that she wanted to be a sister. She lay on the side of the small bed and looked at them and said, "Don't worry, my sister will definitely protect you in the future."
"Auntie will protect you too." Niu Niu's eyes sparkled, and she was happy to think that there would be three servants behind her in the future.
Qin Xinfang couldn't enter the delivery room, so she only had time to glance at the two children at the door, and now, hearing them chattering inside, she couldn't help but anxiously walk back and forth at the door.
He Zipei took care of Li Baolu, and when he went out, he saw him stretching his neck and wanted to look in, so he stepped forward to support him and smiled, "Don't look at it, the two children are very handsome, the second child is even taller than the eldest. If you want to be fat, it's probably what Wen Po said, he was anxious to come out, but pushed his brother out first."
Qin Xinfang muttered: "There is a lot of blood in the delivery room, it's better to move the baby to the main room."
That way he can see too.
"Don't mess around, the child can't blow the hair now, and you can see it after the third bath."
Li Baolu slept very deeply this time, and didn't wake up until the next morning. She was still hungry. She only ate a bowl of brown sugar and eggs for dinner, and she went through childbirth again, and the storage in her stomach was exhausted Empty.
As soon as she woke up, the heart that was guarding her came over and asked in a low voice, "Madam, are you hungry, do you want something to eat?"
Li Baolu was in a daze for a moment before she came back to her senses and asked, "Where's the child?"
"It's in the crib."
Hongtao carefully pushed the crib over to show her. Even though she already knew that newborn babies were ugly, she still couldn't help but say in distaste: "It's so ugly."
Hongtao couldn't help laughing, "Miss Cousin said the same thing. The lady spoke for her younger brother. The two of them almost had a quarrel in the delivery room, and finally the master threw him out. The master guarded you all night, and you just went to wash up. woke up."
Li Baolu's birth was so fast and smooth that she gave birth when she went out to call Doctor Wang.
But in the evening, Imperial Physician Wang still came to check Li Baolu's pulse to make sure that she was in good health with no injuries at all.
This made the nobles in the capital couldn't help sighing, this body is really good, and giving birth to a child is as smooth as eating a meal.
It makes it look like the wives and concubines in their family who have to toss for days and nights for a lifetime of children are so bad.
But there is another point that many people focus on.
Gu Jingyun has two sons, so what's the last name?
Many people, especially the children of the Qin family and their in-laws who were staying in the capital, waited with bated breath for news from the Qin family.
Everyone knows that if he was not afraid of implicating Gu Jingyun back then, it would be impossible for him to have the surname Gu. And after Qin Yixin was born, Qin Xinfang has never given an exact statement as to whether the direct branch of the Qin family will be inherited by Gu Jingyun's branch, Qin Yixin's branch, or the Qin family's offspring from the Qin family's offshoot.
Before, everyone thought that Qin Xinfang would definitely choose one of Qin Yixin's children to inherit, or an adoptive child from Qin's offspring, and Gu Jingyun, although he was not bad in blood, his surname was Gu.
However, since last year, Gu Jingyun's family lived in the Qin Mansion and never came out. Even the children were born in the Qin Mansion.
It would be fine if he only gave birth to one, but he gave birth to two. Except for the eldest son who has to inherit the blood, the second son can be adopted.
So everyone is worried and anxious.
Of course, those who are worried and anxious are those who have a relationship with the Qin family, and most of the people who eat melons will enjoy it.
So when the child washed three times, all kinds of uninvited people came to the door with gifts.
Qin Xinfang wanted to refuse, but the people who came to the door were either family friends or relatives, or in-laws. Even He Zipei's natal He family also came.
Qin Xinfang could only invite people in and let them watch the baptism of his grandnephew.
And when the two babies who had lost some of their redness and wrinkled and became whiter and fatter were brought out, everyone opened their mouths in shock, and kept going back and forth between Gu Jingyun and Qin Xinfang and the two children.
The scene was silent for a while.
Wen Po knew what they were surprised at, and proudly stripped the two sleeping children clean, and then fetched water to wash off the filth on their bodies.
The cold water fell on the body, and the two children suddenly woke up from their sleep. They burst into tears with a "wow", and the second child was especially violent. He even kicked his leg and kicked Wen Po's face directly, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was blushing. "Wow" crying loudly, everyone looked at Liu Fen with such an expression on Qin Xinfang's face, and the expressions on their faces were a little disillusioned.
After the child was wiped clean and wrapped up, everyone came back to congratulate Qin Xinfang. Those who didn't know it thought it was his son.
Qin Xinfang said proudly and modestly: "The two children are still wrinkled, how can you tell who they look like?"
"Yeah, children are delicate and need someone to accompany them all the time. Fortunately, they still love their parents and don't cry much at night. They are as easy to take care of as An An."
Gu Jingyun was left on the sidelines, he blinked, obviously he was the father, why did he run to congratulate his uncle?
The female relatives followed He Zipei to carry the child back to the room, and congratulated everyone when they saw Li Baolu.
After everyone went to eat, Li Baolu found time to change clothes, and He Zipei stayed and looked after the child for the time being.
Mrs. He asked her nephew and daughter-in-law to go to eat first, while she stayed behind holding her daughter-in-law's hand.
She squinted her eyes to see the two children lying side by side, and finally looked at the slightly fatter second child, and said softly: "This child really looks like my uncle, if it wasn't for those eyes that resembled his father, he would be so cute." It’s almost like uncle.”
He Zipei laughed lightly and said, "You think so too. He didn't show much when he was born, but after only two or three days, his appearance changed. You can see that he looks very similar to his uncle when you open his skin slightly." Like. But my nephew looks like an uncle, doesn't Qinghe look like his uncle too?"
"Qinghe is like his mother."
That's not the same, Qin Xinfang and Qin Wenyin are brothers and sisters, and they also have similarities.
Mrs. He looked at her loving daughter, looked left and right, saw that there was only her own family in the room, she couldn't help waving her hand to let the servants go down, and then asked in a low voice: "Zipei, which child do you and my uncle decide to adopt?" No?"
He Zipei frowned slightly, "Mother, who told you that we are going to adopt a child?"
"You Ru Ning Qin clan has been passed down for more than 800 years, the direct branch can't be cut off at your place, right? You and my uncle don't care, but the Qin clan won't agree. Instead of waiting for a hundred years from now, they will decide to adopt one for you. You might as well choose a good successor."
Seeing her daughter pondering, but still not letting go, she sighed and said: "I know you and my uncle have a deep-seated relationship, and feel that the clan is ruthless, so I don't want to adopt a child from them, and your direct lineage is a single pass for several generations, and you are related to the blood of the clan. It's been a long time ago, and I don't want to separate parents and children, but it's impossible to cut off the inheritance of the direct line. It's a great sin of unfilial piety to have no offspring. How will you meet the ancestors of the Qin family when you go underground? Zong."
Mrs. He took a breath and continued: "Qinghe didn't have a son before, so I can't mention it, but now he has two sons. Zipei, you and uncle are not young, and he has even retired now." , who knows when...you always have to think about Niu Niu, she is only eight years old this year, and it will take at least ten years until she gets married and has children."
"And ten years later, how do you know that she will be able to have a son? Since you and my uncle don't want her to marry, the first boy must follow the husband's surname. Can you calculate when she will give birth to a second son and adopt him to the Qin family?" ?”
"At that time, were you and my uncle still there? If they were, how many years would you two live? There is a child left under your knees, should it be raised by the Qin clan, or by Niuniu?"
"If Niuniu's husband's family raises her, will the Qin clan feel that their family will fall into the hands of outsiders? They don't know that her husband's family will not have selfish intentions, after all, they are outsiders." Mrs. He held her daughter's hand and said: " I don't want you to suffer for the rest of your life, and when you die, you will continue to suffer after death, faceless to face the ancestors of the Qin family..."
"Mother……"
"Listen to me, I naturally hope that Niuniu will inherit the Qin family, because she is your bloodline. In terms of relatives, Gu Jingyun can't compare to her, but you and my uncle are not willing to marry her, so I will always do it for you." For the sake of your hundred years later."
Mrs. He made up her mind to say these words after a long period of psychological struggle, but she felt that she didn't have many days left, if she didn't say it now, she might never have the chance to say it again.
In her opinion, of course the Qin family should be handed over to Niuniu's descendants, but Niuniu is too young, and Qin Xinfang and He Zipei are old.
Once an accident happened in the middle, the Qin family would either fall into the hands of others, or Niu Niu would be restrained. Yes, Gu Jingyun was Niu Niu's backer. But his surname was Gu, and with Qin Xinfang around, the Qin clan didn't dare to challenge Gu Jingyun, but once Qin Xinfang was gone, the Qin clan would have reasons to exclude Gu Jingyun.
When the time comes, can Gu Jingyun really protect Niuniu and the child she doesn't know if she will have?
In Mrs. He's opinion, things before and after death are equally important. Apart from living a good life, a woman's duty during her lifetime is to carry on the family line and teach her children well, so that the ancestors will not lose their incense.
But her daughter did not fulfill her responsibilities during her lifetime, and did not leave Qin a son. If it weren't for her daughter's heartache towards her, Mrs. He would have wanted her to adopt her child a long time ago, so she wouldn't be unable to explain to the ancestors of the Qin family when she went underground.
