The process of giving birth to a child will definitely suffer for women.

Fortunately, Liu Qingyan has the best medical team in the Song Dynasty, and with her daily exercise, there was no accident of difficult labor.

However, Liu Qingyan's screams at the top of her lungs almost made Li Kui lose his mind. Fortunately, the Liu family also came, and the Grand Tutor Liu Baosheng, several brother-in-law, and even the imperial concubine Liu Qingjing in the palace sent someone.

"Renjie, be calm. It's okay. The fifth sister, auspicious person, has his own appearance, and you don't need your help."

"I'll go to the delivery room to check it out and help her!"

"You can't help if you believe your second brother-in-law."

"What if I help?"

...

Liu Baosheng sweated on his forehead, on the one hand, because he was anxious. His daughter must be in danger for the first time for giving birth. On the other hand, he was so angry that he was stunned by Li Kui and shouted at the second and third families: "Press him down and don't let him cause trouble."

"Father-in-law, we can't hold it back at all!"

"Lin Chong, go up and help."

Lin Chong swallowed, and he was a little cowardly when facing his uncle. But strangely, he still had a little bit of joy in his heart, as if he was revenge. But he didn't know what kind of grudge he and Li Kui had?

Wow...wow...

Who would have thought that the group of men in the yard were even more tired than Liu Qingyan who gave birth to a child in the delivery room. When the child cried, her second brother-in-law Cheng Zhijie was lying on the ground, her whole body was soaked in sweat, gasping heavily, and she was unwilling to move. Han Dahu was the same. Lin Chong wanted to run away, but he didn't dare to look at Li Kui with his dodging eyes, for fear of meeting Li Kui's soul-questioning gaze.

"Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, he is the daughter of the daughter."

The female official in the palace left the delivery room and congratulated Li Kui and Liu Baosheng.

Li Kui smiled happily and waved happily: "Reward a hundred taels of gold."

"Thank you, Master Li, to reward you!"

When the female official heard this, she was so happy that she almost threw herself into Li Kui's arms. The gold was 100 taels, which was more than a thousand jin, which was more rewarded than delivering the concubines in the palace. This was more heroic than the emperor. Of course, the female official was also the best stable woman to serve the concubines in the palace. It was also the relationship between her and Liu Qingjing. It was the sister's care for her sister.

"Xiao Wu, go to the bank deposit and get ten carts of money to save money to passers-by."

"Everyone, please give me a great reward."

After Li Kui finished speaking, he wanted to run into the delivery room again. However, he was still driven out by a fucking woman. His mother-in-law even said to Li Kui with a treacherous face: "The delivery room is not clean, why are you rushing into it?"

"Qingyan, okay, I'll go see her." Li Kui smiled and said to his mother-in-law: "Look at the child by the way."

"Xiaowu is okay, you have this kind of heart. I'm happy for my Xiaowu. Unlike someone who has no conscience, who gives birth to a daughter with a shady face as if he owes him."

Perhaps my mother-in-law thought of sad things and looked at Liu Baosheng with a bad look. However, Liu Baosheng was still stabbed by his wife on this happy day, and he was immediately unhappy. He said with a calm face: "What nonsense? When I was born, I was so happy like a hero, but I didn't know..."

Liu Baosheng didn't say it, but the meaning was very simple. He was really happy when his first daughter was born. The second one was forced to smile; the third one was worried, the fourth one was fear... The fifth one was completely cut off hope.

This mental journey is too cruel. He is afraid that if he says too much, his tears will fall.

But his mother-in-law, Mrs. Han, was not satisfied at all and said coldly: "The seeds are not good, so you can't blame the ground for not being fat, right?"

The two were about to make a fuss, but their daughter was persuaded to stay in and drive them home. After all, Liu Qingyan had successfully given birth to a daughter, and the mother and daughter were safe, so they no longer had any worries. Instead, in a blink of an eye, Li Kui disappeared.

It turned out that Li Kui turned around and entered the delivery room.

There was still a strange smell in the air, and Li Kui didn't care. He ran to the edge of the bed and looked at Liu Qingyan, who was exhausted and gasping for breath, and said with a heartache: "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Liu Qingyan felt someone rubbing her forehead and opened her eyes slightly. When she saw Li Kui, she was startled: "What are you doing in? Go out quickly!"

"I'll take a look at the kids."

Liu Qingyan didn't want Li Kui to see her embarrassed scene, especially in the delivery room. This was especially true. The woman was filthy when giving birth, afraid that her husband would not be able to get over it when she saw it. But Li Kui didn't care and looked around with her neck.

After looking around, I found no trace of my daughter and thought to myself, "Where is my little cotton jacket?"

"Where is the child?" Li Kui asked.

Liu Qingyan also knew Li Kui's personality and could not drive him away, so she had to ask a headache, beside me.

"where?"

“It’s on the left.”

"blind--"

Li Kui really saw a little rat, but he was shocked. He had seen that corner before, but he thought it was a shadow, but he didn't expect it was his little cotton jacket and he hid and took a hide-and-seek smile on his face, and he said to himself: "This should be my biological child, I haven't run away."

Liu Qingyan struggled to hold her up and said, "Help me up, I'll look at the child."

When Liu Qingyan saw the child in her arms, her pale face suddenly turned pale again, and she said disgusted: "Why are you so dark?"

He said that his child was evil, and that's all, his wife also said, can this child live a good life? Li Kui was unhappy and complained: "How can he say that his child was evil?"

Liu Qingyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Can you still say it's white?"

"It should be not that white. Besides, it may turn white after raising it for a few days." Li Kui didn't have much confidence in his words, but he still forced himself to put a gild on his daughter's face.

Liu Qingyan said sadly: "If you are so ugly, how can you get married in the future?"

Li Kui is not easy to answer this question. Even if he is very dark, he doesn't like being as dark as him when choosing a woman. If he really gets hit by Liu Qingyan, his daughter will be really hard to deal with in the future. But Li Kui is also a way to do it, and he said firmly: "It's okay, at worst, I can work harder and prepare her a dowry that no one in the world can refuse."

Liu Qingyan rolled her eyes and hugged her daughter and said resentfully: "Baby daughter, your father has money!"

The daughter of the Li family, who was probably unsold at the moment of birth, looked at Li Kui with a smile, and grabbed Li Kui's index finger with his little hand and refused to let go. The father and daughter were in harmony at this moment, and even if Li Kui had an iceberg in his heart, it was melted.

Liu Qingyan asked Li Kui: "Have you thought of your name?"

"The daughter of the Li family must have a mighty name. Just call it Li Dahu? It sounds louder and louder, and is destined not to be bullied in this life. The nickname is Hu Niu, which is easy to support." The more Li Kui said, the more he felt reasonable. He studied a lot and had fame. But these are not very concerned about naming names, which is not that they are useless, but that Li Kui does not need to have too many expectations for his children.

In this way, the name will be much more casual.

But Liu Qingyan was not happy. She disliked Li Kui's name. After all, it was the flesh that fell off her body. A good daughter was called Dahu. Isn't this bullying? Even if a father doesn't like it, he can't do this, right? He immediately said dissatisfied: "It's obviously a daughter, what's the name Dahu, and Hu Niu. My third brother-in-law is also called Dahu. How can your daughter call this name? No, change it, think about it carefully. Moreover, Hu Niu is not nice either."

Li Kui muttered, "What's the matter? My nickname is Tie Niu? My brother's nickname is Shigou. Listen to me, the name is cheaper and easy to support."

"No!" Liu Qingyan could follow Li Kui's other words, but she could never agree to the daughter's name.

Li Kui felt it was unwise to quarrel with the mother, so he had to give in and said, "How about you name it, as long as your surname is Li."

Li Kui also wanted to accompany his daughter and wife, but was driven out by Liu Qingyan. After Li Kui left, Liu Qingyan held his daughter and felt sad: "Your father is unhappy. If your two concubines gave birth to sons, you will be sad in the future."

Liu Qingyan was thinking randomly, and she seemed to be naturally thought that Li Kui was disliked because she gave birth to a daughter. But in fact, Li Kui did not have this idea.

It’s just that Liu Qingyan herself was too careful.

But mothers are prone to getting stubborn, and Li Kui can't explain clearly when he thinks about the explanation, so he can only wait to see his performance in the future.

Within half a month, the Li family had a series of happy events.

Zhang Zhenniang and Nie Cuicui also produced one after another.

Li Kui was happy to win two thousand golds.

On that day, Liu Baosheng came to his son-in-law's house with worry. He also brought the palace to drink with him, and wanted to pull Li Kui to drink and help his son-in-law enlighten him. He gave birth to three daughters in one breath. Liu Baosheng felt that his son-in-law Li Kui had fallen to the verge of collapse and needed someone to come and enlighten him.

And he is the one who has experienced it.

Liu Baosheng remembered that he heard the voice of Wen Po congratulations for five consecutive times: "Congratulations to Master, he is a daughter, and the mother and daughter are safe." At that moment, the despair of the sky was coming like a tsunami.

The father-in-law and son-in-law were drinking, and after Li Kui poured the wine cup for Liu Baosheng, Liu Baosheng sighed and said, "Great man, don't worry, your son will have it in the future."

He was afraid that his son-in-law would go on his old path and waste his time for half his life. Then he accompanied him to carefully relieve his son-in-law, but Li Kui's words made people angry. He heard what Liu Baosheng meant and smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't you have to persuade me, your daughter is good. It's said that my daughter is my father's little cotton jacket, so I won't feel depressed because of the excessive number of daughters."

"Besides, I'm still young." Li Kui said casually.

Liu Baosheng sighed: "Hareman, I feel very comforted when you think so."

Li Kui smiled and said, "My father-in-law is too concerned. Besides, if you give birth to a few more, you will always have sons. At worst, you can give birth to twenty, so I don't believe that I can't give birth to a son."

“Twenty…”

Liu Baosheng was a little drunk, but he woke up suddenly. Li Kui wanted to give birth to twenty children, but he would not be exhausted to death. But then he thought that something was wrong. The main reason was that Liu Qingyan might not be able to do the important task of giving birth to twenty children, and she had to have sisters to help.

It seems that Li Kui is not allowed to take a concubine with his own baby daughter. Twenty children are not difficult.

He finally got a child when he was old and was in trouble. Compared with his son-in-law, he really had a bad life. He was stupid enough to relieve his son-in-law. It was not Li Kui who needed comfort, but his father-in-law.

Thinking of this, Liu Baosheng lost interest in drinking. After glanced at his granddaughter, he left with a sigh.

Li Kui could guess some of the reasons why his mother-in-law didn't allow her father-in-law to take concubines at the beginning. They were all daughters. If the concubine really came and gave birth to a son for the Liu family, how would she live with her daughters in the future? If she was occupied by a magpie's nest and let the low-ranking concubine ride on her head, she would be unbearable.

However, Li Kui's leisure time has come to an end.

After Zhang Qi led a large army out of Tiandu Mountain, the war between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia had begun.

Li Kui also received the imperial edict and led the Imperial Guards to head from the capital and head towards Daizhou, the northernmost part of Hedong Road.

Along the way, sleeping in the open air, the Imperial Guards not only had to endure the fatigue of the marching road, but also had to often experience the training orders issued by Li Kui. They marched quickly, sorted out the formation, and arranged troops on the battlefield. Fortunately, Li Kui did not dare to use great force, and there were not many personnel during the marching.

Before we knew it, half a month had passed.

The Song Dynasty had the idea of ​​fighting a time difference with the Liao Kingdom. At the beginning of the war, the Song army showed no other demeanor than me, and wanted to take over the Western Xia as soon as possible.

Since the Song Dynasty rejected the threat from the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom has not taken any action. The Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji was determined to give the Song people some excellence.

It can be said that this war is more dangerous than the war prepared by Shenzong and Wang Anshi twenty years ago. However, the Song Dynasty had to fight. Since the signing of the treaty, the Western Xia slept with firewood and tasted gall to restore national strength. Once the Western Xia was given ten years, it would be even more difficult for the Song Dynasty to destroy the Western Xia. Because of this, the Song Dynasty must be fought, and it must be fought early.

The sooner the war is launched, the more hope there is to take down Xixia.

At the same time, because the negotiations between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom broke down, the Song Dynasty had to face a possible war with the Liao Kingdom.
