Rise From the Humble

The sun rises and sets, and it's another full day's work. Overflowing with the joy of the harvest, the Japanese pirates hum songs and return to Tuolin's old nest.

"General Long, General Matsuura, your ninjas have been sent out for a few days, but they have not been successful. Why is there no news?"

Maye couldn't help but ask Matsuura Shimozaburo and Ryuzoji Shingen at the celebration banquet. After waiting for so many days and no news, she was a little impatient.

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

Matsuura Shimosaburo said with a smile, full of confidence in the three ninjas they sent out to assassinate.

"No news is the best news? What do you mean?" Maye was stunned and didn't turn around for a while.

"There is no news, which means they haven't missed it yet." Shimosaburo Matsuura raised his glass and said slowly.

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

"Haha, Mr. Ma, please don't be anxious. Zhu Ping'an, the Governor of Zhejiang Province, is the master of a country. How can he easily succeed in assassinating such a big figure? The three ninjas we sent out are all famous jounin, proficient in assassination. Tao, assassination, they are professionals. Sachiko is the most patient. She patiently observes the target, approaches the target in the least suspicious way, and kills with one blow; Iga Noro, the genius of Iga style. , as light as a swallow, he would ride on the breeze, sneak into the target's mansion silently, and use deadly methods such as blowing arrows, poisonous smoke, poison, and shuriken to kill the target in his sleep; the pharmacist was proficient in Buddhism, horoscopes, Feng Shui and other miscellaneous students are the best at disguise, and they have made eighteen attempts without missing a single one. Ma-kun waits patiently, and the three jounin will definitely not miss. "

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

"Okay, then just wait a moment."

Seeing how confident Matsuura Shimozaburo and Ryuzoji Shingen were, Maya began to look forward to it.

"As long as we can get rid of Zhu Pingan, it doesn't matter if we wait a few more days." Xu Hai raised his glass with a smile, "Drink this and wait for the triumphant return of the three Jonin."

"Dry."

Asaba, Matsuura Shimozaburo, and Ryuzouji Shingen followed suit and toasted to each other.

Shaoxing.

The backyard of the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen became very busy, with maids and old ladies running back and forth in an orderly manner.

"Hot water, hurry up. Several stoves must keep heating water. The more hot water, the better. Don't stop."

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

Aunt Wang's voice came from the house, and the maid immediately delivered the items requested by Aunt Wang.

Just now, Li Shu suddenly felt a stomachache while walking and her contractions were severe. Aunt Wang checked 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.

Rich man Li and his two brothers-in-law were walking with Li Shu. As soon as Li Shu entered the delivery room, they anxiously circled outside the delivery room.

Zhu Ping'an worked in the front office. After getting the news, he immediately ran over from the front office carrying his official uniform. As soon as he arrived, he was about to enter the delivery room to accompany Li Shu to welcome the new life, but then he was stopped.

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

"Master Zhu, if you are here, please be at ease. There should not be too many people in the delivery room. If there are too many people, there will be too much talk and noise. The mother will be frightened. If frightened, the heart will be weak and timid, and there will be too many people during the delivery. Causes sleepiness.”

Aunt Wang's voice also came from inside.

Seeing the determined expressions on the faces of the old lady and others, Zhu Pingan also realized that this was ancient times and was different from modern times.

In modern times, husbands are also encouraged to go into the delivery room to accompany the childbirth. This is not only a way of caring for his wife, but also a way to welcome the arrival of a new life together, which is very meaningful.

However, it was different in ancient times. In ancient times, there were feudal superstitions. The ancients believed that women would bleed and be dirty when giving birth. Men entering the delivery room would be in trouble with blood, which would be unlucky and affect their fortunes. In addition, there were other things to pay attention to, such as worrying about wind and the impact. She is pregnant, and 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 that she is a little embarrassed now, and she doesn't want Zhu Pingan to see her unattractive side.

"Just wait outside and don't cause any trouble to my precious girl!" The father-in-law outside glared at Zhu Pingan with a dark face.

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

ah.

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

When Zhu Ping'an, Rich Man Li, and his two brothers-in-law heard Li Shu's painful cry, they all circled around outside the delivery room in worry.

Zhu Ping'an was spinning around and bumped into Rich Man Li who was also spinning around, prompting Rich Man Li to lecture him, "How old are you, can you have some concentration! Spin, spin, spin, I'm even dizzy from spinning!" Now that I know I’m nervous and worried, what have I been doing for a long time? I’ll give birth to your baby when my sister is only that old!”

Zhu Ping'an was obedient and did not dare to say anything.

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

"ah"

Li Shu's painful sounds came one after another from the delivery room.

"Giving birth 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, and started to turn around in circles again. While turning around, he clasped his hands together and kept kowtowed to the sky and in all directions to pray:

"God bless, God bless, bless my Shu'er and her son to be safe."

"Buddha bless, Fuzu bless, bless my Shu'er and her son to be safe."

"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless, bless my Shu'er and her son to be safe."

"Mazu Goddess bless, Mazu Goddess bless, bless my Shu'er and her son to be safe."

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

"His mother bless, his mother bless, bless our daughter and her son to 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 to be safe.

"Big brother, second brother, have we burned incense for the shrines and Buddha statues we bought?" Mr. Li asked his two sons while praying for God's blessing.

"Dad, don't worry, we have burned incense for them. We have been burning incense for them since the day we got them home, twelve hours a day without a break."

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