The big mansion in Qinzhou was already busy, and the room full of people were busy coming in and out.

In these years, giving birth to a child is a matter of life and death, and many people's happy events that were originally imported by Tian Ding suddenly turned into a funeral of one corpse and two lives, and the most feared thing is dystocia.

Although when they left Beijing, the Su family had invited several experienced midwives to accompany them, but everyone's hearts were still on their throats; Rou Niang repeatedly instructed the maids to boil water and boil the soup, and ordered someone to hurry up to the official road to see if Su Jin had come back, because Yan Biyun had been calling Su Jin's name in pain, and Su Jin coming back early might calm Yan Biyun.

In the evening, Su Jin rushed into Qinzhou City first, Huanniang Xia Siling, Xiao Sui'er and others followed in the carriage, Su Jin thought the carriage was too slow, so he took the first step and galloped back to the city with a few relatives.

As soon as he entered the house, Su Jin ran to the inner house without taking care of washing and resting, and heard Yan Biyun's heart-rending shouts from a distance, Rou Niang stood in the hall and turned sharply, and saw Su Jin hurriedly greeted him and said, "Amitabha, you are back." ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "What? Is it raw? ”

Rou Niang hurriedly said: "Not yet, Xian'er and the midwife are inside, saying that it will be a while." ”

Su Jin said: "Then why is it so loud?" I'll take a look. Then he pulled out his feet and went into the room.

The midwife at the door pushed Su Jin away and said, "Oh, big official, how can a man get in?" It is all right, but we will take care of it. ”

Su Jin understood that it was taboo for men to enter the maternity ward of pregnant women in this year, so he had to stop in front of the door, straighten his neck and shout to the door: "Sister Yan, I'm back, don't panic, do what the midwife says." ”

Yan Biyun was already dying and alive in pain, but when he heard Su Jin's shouting, a sudden surge of power surged into his body, and it seemed that the pain had decreased slightly; A midwife helped Yan Biyun wipe away the sweat beads and tears on her face, and Mance told in an orderly manner: "Madame must be calm, pain is inevitable, which woman gives birth to a child is not painful to die or live?" How else to say that the son is the mother's heart? This is equivalent to cutting meat with a knife, how can it not hurt? Don't panic, the fetal position is very positive, there will be no problem with the wife's body giving birth, slowly exert yourself, the old body will help you work hard, come ...... Come ......"

Yan Biyun according to the instructions of the midwife, with the midwife's password one by one, the time was as long as solidification, half an hour of time as if half a life had passed, and finally a clear cry resounded through the inner house, Su Jin heard the baby's cry outside and tears were about to fall, quickly got up and rushed inside, before reaching the door, a midwife came out with a smile on her face and said: "Congratulations to the official, congratulations to the master, happy to have a noble son, mother and son are safe!" ”

Su Jin was overjoyed and shouted: "Look at the reward!" Enjoy! Can I go in and take a look? ”

The midwife said, "Of course, Madame is a good woman, and this child is in a bit of an improper position, but she has been offended." ”

Su Jin thanked him, flashed the curtain and entered, and opened the curtain of the outer bed, only to see Yan Biyun lying on the bed with a white face like white paper, Xiao Xian'er took a hot towel to help her scrub her body, and a midwife carried a ball of whirring meat and whirring things wrapped in swaddling clothes on the side.

Su Jin walked quickly to the head of the bed, reached out and stroked Yan Biyun's cheek and said, "Madam, it's hard work." ”

Yan Biyun slowly opened her eyes, looking extremely tired, but she said softly with a smile on her face: "Lang Jun, the slave family is finally passed on to the Su family, the slave family is not hard at all, and they are very happy." ”

Su Jin leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, and said in her ear: "It doesn't matter what happens after the pass, the important thing is that you are safe." ”

Yan Biyun smiled: "Have you seen the child?" ”

Su Jin said: "I haven't had time to see it yet." ”

Yan Biyun said angrily: "How can there be a father who doesn't look at his child, Xian'er, please ask the midwife to bring the child to the official to see." ”

Xiao Xian'er agreed to help the midwife tie up the swaddling clothes and walked over with the baby screaming, Su Jin clumsily took it and looked into the swaddling clothes, and was suddenly startled.

Where is this child, just a little old man, with wrinkled skin and red skin, just a little monster with his eyes closed and his teeth and claws.

Xiaoxian also said: "Look at this little guy, his eyebrows and eyes look like a son." Su Jin almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, did he just look like this?

"Why is this kid crumpled?" Su Jin said suspiciously.

The midwife and Xiao Xian'er both laughed non-stop, and the midwife said: "The ones who were born are like this, they are wrinkled in the mother's womb, and after they are born, they will see the wind growing. ”

Su Jin was suspicious, put the baby next to Yan Biyun, Yan Biyun lifted his clothes to expose his hemisphere to feed the child, the child was like a tiger cub and suddenly ate non-stop, Yan Biyun looked at the baby with a look of pity, and her eyes flashed with the brilliance of motherhood.

"Let Madame rest for a while, and the big officials go out, it's not good for this person to leak the cold wind when people come and go." The midwife urged.

Su Jin hurriedly said: "Let's go, there is a labor wife to take care of, madam, I'll go out first." ”

Yan Biyun smiled and said: "Don't forget to report the good news to your mother-in-law, by the way, the child's name hasn't been named yet, hurry up and give a name." ”

Xiao Xian'er said: "Miss, don't worry about it, keep it at ease, where is your turn to worry about these things." ”

……

Su Jin is not very good at naming names, the child was born in Qinzhou, Su Jin also used his brain in the province, and directly called Su Qin, as for the same name as Su Qin in the Warring States Period, Su Jin doesn't care.

However, Rou Niang, Huanniang and others gave this child a nickname called Hu'er, which means that he is like a little tiger cub.

The news of Su Jin's happy son immediately spread throughout the city, and officials of all sizes came to congratulate him, and finally got the opportunity to pat himself on the back.

A few days later, Mrs. Wang and Yan Fu in the capital got the news, Mrs. Wang happily went to the temple to give a golden body, Yan Shu reported the news to Zhao Zhen as soon as possible, Zhao Zhen was not stingy, and immediately issued an order to canonize Su Qin, who was still in infancy, with the official title of Yun Qiwei, which can be described as a thousand honors.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and the Su family's children's full moon wine was held in Qinzhou City. Qinzhou City seems to have never been so lively, needless to say, the officials of the state capitals of the Northwest Fourth Road have all appeared, and more than a dozen people have also come to the capital thousands of miles away, Fu Bi Han Qi Ouyang Xiu and other important ministers in the DPRK and China have also worked hard to come to congratulate the Su family on the full moon, among which there is an old acquaintance, Su Jin is even more happy to see it, that is the new transfer to the capital to serve as the prefect of Tianfu Bao Zheng.

Su Jin also felt very surprised, it stands to reason that these people have sent someone to give a gift, the New Year is approaching, and all the yamen are extremely busy, at this time, the important ministers of the court and the central government came to celebrate the full moon for their children, it is not reasonable to do so, there must be something.

Facts have proved that Su Jin is not overly worried, after the banquet that night, Su Jin accompanied the adults to chat at the official post where they stayed, and learned the purpose of everyone's trip, and everyone came here because of an earth-shattering event in the court.

One afternoon half a month ago, Zhao Zhen summoned Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Fu Bi in the imperial study, and inquired about the accumulation of shortcomings and redundant problems inside and outside the court in recent years.

In Zhao Zhen's view, these officials have been in high positions for a long time, and they have become insensitive to the abuses of the imperial court, while Fan Zhongyan Han Qi and Fu Bi are both cadres from the grassroots level, especially Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, who were promoted from the state capital level, and have a lot of understanding of the public sentiments and public opinions below, and their personalities are frank and have no Bianliang officialdom habits, and their words may be more true.

All in all, Zhao Zhen's summons this time was not a whim, on this year's imperial examination, Zhao Zhen improvised a question, and Su Jin also improvised a "Ten Evils of Strategy" touched Zhao Zhen's heart, since then Zhao Zhen's heart has planted a seed, although later he secretly tested whether Su Jin could put the ten disadvantages into change and was rejected by Su Jin, but Zhao Zhen would rather think that Su Jin thought that he was not capable enough and did not dare to take on this great responsibility, but the heart of change has not died.

This time, Zhao Zhen's candidates are Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi Fubi and others, these people have become high-profile figures in terms of talent and prestige, and they should have the ability to take the lead in instigating a big change and changing the current predicament.

Zhao Zhen brought up Su Jin's strategy and ten disadvantages again, and Han Qi and Fu Bi didn't care, but Fan Zhongyan was shocked into a cold sweat, Fan Zhongyan never expected that some of the ideas that often lingered in his mind were exactly the same as this Su Jin, and even the words he wanted to use coincided, as if Su Jin was a roundworm in his stomach; At the time of the imperial examination, he and Su Jin had never met, and he had never talked about his thoughts with others, so it seemed that this Su Jin coincided with his relatives.

Of course, Fan Zhongyan couldn't say that what Su Jin wrote was exactly what he thought before, so he just agreed with most of Su Jin's views and put forward some new ideas; When Zhao Zhen slowly said that he wanted to change these shortcomings, the three of them were silent.

The three of them are not stupid, they know that some of these things can be done, and some of them have to risk the world's condemnation, and it will be counterproductive if they don't get it right.
