Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 472 Twins

After the New Year, Gu Fengyue spent his entire vacation at home, surrounded by his wife and children. His wife was his, and the children were his brother and his eldest brother-in-law's. The two of them said they wanted to give them the same experience of being a father, and then they left the children to the couple to take care of, while he made time to accompany his wife, playing here and strolling there. Gu Fengyue wished he could give the children back to them.

Song Chunlin accepted this well. He hadn't seen him for a few years, and except for the young master and his eldest nephew, the other kids had no impression of him at all. This was a good time to cultivate some feelings with them.

Looking at Song Chunlin who was helping his baby write big characters, Gu Fengyue inexplicably felt that they were now very similar to that person, oh, Dehua, or the kind that did it without any pay.

The one-month vacation was gone while the two of them were taking care of their children. On the last day of the vacation, the two couples finally felt guilty and came back to accept their sons.

In fact, the truth is that Zhou Ning is about to give birth and Gu Fengyun’s vacation is about to end.

Gu Fengyue, who thought he saw through these four people, remained silent.

Song Chunlin was also brought along when he attended the court for the first time after the New Year, because this time was different from the last performance report, and the emperor wanted to reward people based on their merits.

Gu Fengyue was already the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, and it was not in accordance with the rules of the Dajing Dynasty to confer another title on him. So the emperor thought about it and decided to give the title to Song Chunlin.

Song Chunlin's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself and asked, "Me?"

The emperor smiled at him and said, "Of course it's you, Duke of Fuguo."

Song Chunlin: "Hiss~~~ Then, thank you for your grace."

Song Chunlin accepted the emperor's award very tactfully. Although it was unbelievable to confer the title of Prince of the State on a brother, the emperor had already granted the request of the young master of the Gu Fengyun family. This set a precedent and was not too shocking... right?

As for other treasures, rewards such as gold and silver, they are nothing compared to the title.

The Song family was still staying in the Marquis' Mansion at this time. The imperial edict was delivered directly to the Mansion. Grandpa Song, who received the imperial edict, felt that he seemed to have heard it wrong. After sending away the eunuch, the three people who went to court also came back. Grandpa Song hurriedly asked them whether the emperor had given Song Chunlin the title of Duke.

Song Chunlin nodded: "Yes, hey, I still have the Duke's clothes, let me see if I like them."

Seeing that he actually cared about whether the clothes looked good or not, the Song family members were collectively speechless. It turned out that a hereditary title was not as attractive as that new dress.

Grandpa Song looked at his grandson who was showing him the new clothes, waved his hand, and told everyone to go back to their own business. When Song Chunlin finished showing him the clothes, he found that everyone was gone and felt strange. He turned around and asked Gu Fengyue:

"Where are they? Why did they all run away?"

Gu Fengyue thought that if you don’t care about something, Grandpa Song and the others certainly won’t care about it either. Besides, they don’t have any children yet, and the emperor actually gave them a hereditary title. Why does he have the illusion that he was forced to give birth?

In addition to giving Song Chunlin the title and Gu Fengyue a lot of rare treasures, this time's reward also included one more thing, which was Gu Fengyue's trip to the border after the spring.

The Jin Kingdom had already been conquered and was considered their own territory, so they could send a large number of people there to manage it. However, the situation at the border was a bit delicate. Those grassland tribes did not contribute much when attacking the Jin Kingdom, and they wanted to get a piece of the pie afterwards. However, Gu Fengyue and Song Chunlin were not to be trifled with, and they immediately blasted them away with artillery.

The barbarians are now afraid to confront Dajing head-on because of the artillery, but allowing such a group of neighbors to watch covetously at the border is not a long-term solution.

What the emperor meant was that Gu Fengyue had to go to the border to guard it earlier. With him staying at the border, the barbarians would always be more restrained. However, he had promised the empress dowager before that the couple would be able to spend time together and have some children while the iron is hot. Now he went back on his word, which made him feel guilty about breaking up a couple.

However, Gu Fengyue did not agree immediately, and the emperor did not force them. He only said that they had to set off before summer at the latest. In other words, Gu Fengyue would only have these few months to relax.

Song Chunlin had just been conferred the title of Duke of Fuguo, and the Marquis's Mansion had originally planned to set up several tables for a banquet. However, Zhou Ning's water broke at this time, and his due date was moved up by more than half a month. Since he had originally planned to give birth in the Marquis's Mansion, he was quickly placed in the delivery room, and the mansion also quickly invited a midwife to come.

This time, Zhou Ning's delivery process took longer than the previous three times. It seemed that this child was more naughty. Song Chunlin gave Zhou Ning spiritual spring water twice, but the child was still not born.

Seeing that a day and a night had almost passed, Song Chunlin himself began to feel a little nervous.

"What should I do? Why did my sister-in-law take so long to give birth? I remember that my eldest sister-in-law and her family gave birth very quickly before."

Seeing her son was frightened, Song Qinshi quickly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. This is how all girls and boys give birth. Some even take three days and three nights. I see that your sister-in-law is almost there too. It's okay."

In fact, what Song Qin said was true, but the words "three days and three nights" still scared others. Song Chunhua's face was pale and he couldn't help but lean towards his mother.

Song Qin took the opportunity to explain to her two children the difficulties of giving birth to a girl or a boy. Those who had given birth before said that it was normal to give birth for a day and a night. Those who gave birth quickly either had physical problems or the baby was small. The smaller the child, the easier it was to give birth, but it was also not easy to raise.

"Those who say they can give birth as soon as they can walk are very rare. Most people can't come out of the delivery room for several hours from the time they enter the delivery room. Don't worry, this isn't Ning'er's first child. Didn't the midwife say that if the baby is slow, just wait a little longer."

This was the only way. Everyone waited outside the door for almost an hour. Song Chunlin brought in another cup of spiritual spring water. At this time, Zhou Ning was already preparing for the final sprint. With the spiritual spring water to replenish his physical strength, he made a final effort and finally gave birth to the child.

A cry like that of a kitten came from the house, and everyone waiting outside breathed a sigh of relief.

Several elders had just gone back to rest not long ago, and after the servants went back to report, they all gathered again. A large group of people gathered at the door, waiting for the people inside to send the child out.

However, they waited and waited, but there was no movement from inside. Song Chunlin simply put his ear to the door, and heard someone inside shouting for Zhou Ning to push harder.

"What's going on? The baby has already been born, why are you still trying so hard?"

Song Qin frowned: "Could it be that the placenta can't come out?"

Song Chunlin shook his head, but it was not easy for him to use his mental power to go in and check, so he could only continue to wait. This time he waited for about a quarter of an hour, and unexpectedly, another loud crying sound came from inside. Compared with the previous kitten-like cry, this crying sound was obviously more powerful.

"Oh wow, they're twins!"
