Chapter 93: Golden Thorn Blood Vine, Li Gives Birth to a Child
Yang Zhengshan didn't know that Liu Yuanfu was being scolded. If he knew, he would definitely applaud.

Who made this old man so stubborn and stinky? Yang Zhengshan had been to the Liu family several times before, wanting to ask Liu Yuanfu for advice on something, but the old man didn't give him any face at all and didn't even give him a good look.

If the other people in the Liu family had not been so nice to him, he really wanted to send this old man to the construction site to move bricks and let him experience what human suffering is.

This year, everyone in the Yang family had a very happy New Year. With the whole family together, it was warm and joyful.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Yang Zhengshan distributed a basket of red envelopes, and almost all the children in the garrison received his red envelopes.

But this year they are in Yinghebao, so they don't have to visit relatives to wish them a happy new year.

The joyous New Year passed quickly.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month in the twenty-fifth year of Chengping, the soldiers who had gone home for the New Year returned to Yinghe Fort one after another.

A new phase of training continues.

The freezing cold weather could not stop the soldiers' enthusiasm for training.

Because Yang Zhengshan has already announced the time of the martial arts competition.

The twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month.

Two centurions, two trial centurions, and sixteen general-flag official positions are waiting for them. How can they not train hard?
Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, bursts of loud calls were heard from the training ground outside Yinghe Fort.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan had just climbed up from the kang.

It was a very cold day, and the warm quilt seemed to tie him up with a rope, making it difficult for him to break free.

However, as the head of the family and the defense officer of Yinghe Fort, he must set an example for his children and grandchildren and for the soldiers under his command.

Moreover, the practice of martial arts lies in persistence. Practice hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, and you will be able to gain strength through repeated tempering.

Yang Zhengshan also wanted to be a salted fish.

But this world is not a peaceful world. Being a salted fish means having no human rights and not even being able to control one's own life and death.

Salted fish is not that easy to make.

So Yang Zhengshan could only be an early bird.

After washing up, Yang Zhengshan first entered the Lingquan space to take a look.

During this period of time, the space of Lingquan has expanded a lot. In the middle there is a pool of water about ten feet wide, and the land around the pool is almost ten feet wide.

All the medicinal herbs planted before have sprouted, and the small leaves are crystal green and particularly pleasing to the eye.

Yang Zhengshan carefully checked each medicinal herb and only felt relieved after making sure there were no problems.

These medicinal herbs were all carefully selected by him.

Ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Dendrobium, Coptis chinensis, Magnolia officinalis, etc. are all some of the more commonly used and precious medicinal materials.

In addition, Yang Zhengshan also got some seeds of precious medicines.

However, the growth of precious medicines is extremely slow. For example, the golden thorny blood vine only grows one inch a year, takes five years to become a medicine, and takes thirty years to become a treasure.

Moreover, the growing conditions of this golden blood vine are extremely harsh, and it is almost impossible to plant it.

Luo Shang was lucky and found him more than a dozen seeds of golden-thorn blood vine. In fact, these seeds were not expensive, but they were relatively rare.

Yang Zhengshan also wanted to give it a try, so he planted the seeds in the Lingquan space.

The result was pretty good. Most of the dozen or so seeds sprouted, but it would take a long time to grow them into precious medicines.

The main effect of golden thorny blood vine is to replenish blood and qi, fill the deficiency, and prolong life.

Its price is frighteningly high. In the Baoyao Pavilion in Guancheng, it is said that one inch of blood vine is worth ten inches of gold.

Yang Zhengshan can't count on the golden thorn blood vine now, but that doesn't stop him from being full of expectations for it.

If all these golden-thorny blood vines grow into precious medicines, they will be worth ten thousand taels of gold.

After carefully taking care of the herbs in the space, Yang Zhengshan walked out of the room and prepared to practice outside the Tunbu.

But before he could lead Hongyun out of the stable, Yang Yunxue suddenly ran out of the yamen.

"Dad, Dad, my second sister-in-law is about to give birth!"

The little girl ran with her face flushed and shouted anxiously.

Yang Zhengshan paused and quickly returned to the backyard of the government office.

"Lao San, Lao San!"

"Third brother went to the training ground!" Yang Yunxue said.

"Depend on!"

Yang Zhengshan cursed inwardly.

At this time, there were only Wang, Li, Yang Yunxue, Wang Yunqiao and others at home. Yang Mingcheng and Yang Minghao must have gone out to practice, and Yang Mingzhi returned to Jianning Guard three days ago.

"Girl, go and get the midwife!"

"Lin Zhan, go get Doctor Niu!"

Wang was still in the room taking care of Li, so the only people Yang Zhengshan could order around were Yang Yunxue and Lin Zhan.

Li was about to give birth, and Yang Zhengshan was not without preparation.

He had already informed the midwives and doctors in the village and asked them not to go out in the near future.

So soon Yang Yunxue and Lin Zhan came over with a woman and a middle-aged man.

"Greetings, my lord!"

"No need to be polite, just go in and take a look!" Yang Zhengshan said anxiously.

He really felt that giving birth was a difficult matter. The medical conditions in Yinghebao were very backward, and the only doctor was Doctor Niu in front of him. As for his medical skills, they were definitely not as good as Song Yuanbo in Anning County.

Giving birth here is like going through the gates of hell, and Yang Zhengshan is really afraid of accidents.

But thinking about Li's physical condition, Yang Zhengshan felt that she should be able to get through it.

It’s not in vain to drink so much spiritual spring water. Although Li is not a warrior now, her physique is far superior to other women.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan hurried to the stove in the main room and took a pot of spiritual spring water to boil it.

Then he ran to the bedroom and took out an old ginseng.

This old mountain ginseng was sent by the Lu family as a New Year gift. It is a fifty-year-old old mountain ginseng. It is not a precious medicine, but it also has the effect of prolonging life.

As the midwife entered the room, bursts of painful screams were heard from the room.

Wang Yunqiao was boiling water in the kitchen, Wang was helping the midwife in the house, and Yang Yunxue came out to look for cotton cloth and then to bring water.

The whole family is busy preparing for the upcoming birth of the baby.

"Dad, how is my second brother's wife?"

At this time, Yang Mingcheng came back and asked as soon as he entered the door.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at him and said, "How should I know? I can't go in."

"Ugh!" Yang Mingcheng glanced towards the west wing, rubbed his hands, and could only squat beside Yang Zhengshan and look at the stove.

Faced with this kind of thing, men like them could do nothing at all, and it all depended on Wang alone.

"Hey, go to Guancheng and buy some servants in a few days!"

Yang Zhengshan sighed slightly.

"Servant!" Yang Mingcheng was stunned.

"Well, let's find a more stable wife. Forget it, I'd better go there myself!" Yang Zhengshan thought about it and decided that it would be better for him to go there himself.

In the past, the Yang family did not have the conditions to hire servants, and Yang Zhengshan felt that doing his own things was also a form of training for them.

But now look, it’s okay if nothing happens. If something happens, Wang will not be able to handle it alone.

Moreover, the number of people in the family will increase in the future, especially the number of children. If we don’t find a few people to help, Wang and Li will probably be too busy to handle it alone.

"Oh, then I'll go with Dad!" Yang Mingcheng also thought that he should buy some servants.

He is also a man who cares about his wife, because his wife is really busy.

After Li became pregnant, Wang was the one who took care of the whole family, doing the laundry, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children. Especially after arriving at Yinghe Fort, Wang became so exhausted that she lost weight.

After his chubby wife lost weight, he felt uncomfortable even holding her in his arms while sleeping.

About an hour later, the sound of a baby crying was heard from the main house in the west wing.

The crying was very loud, and Yang Zhengshan felt much more at ease after hearing it.

"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. The second wife has given birth to a little boy!" The midwife ran out to announce the good news.

Yang Zhengshan nodded, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the midwife, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Thank you, sir!" The midwife held the change in her hand, and the wrinkles on her face were gathered together with a smile.

"Doctor Niu, please check on my second son's wife and grandson later!" Yang Zhengshan said to Doctor Niu who had been waiting nearby.

"Don't worry, sir. The second lady is in good health and there will be no problem." Doctor Niu said with a smile.

After Mrs. Li came to Yinghebao, it was Doctor Niu who had been treating her, so he was very familiar with Mrs. Li's physical condition.

After the house was cleaned up, Doctor Niu went in to check on Mrs. Li and the child.

As he said, Mrs. Li was in very good health. She didn't feel tired after giving birth and was still energetic while holding the baby.

Yang Zhengshan was not in a position to go into the house, so Wang brought the child out and showed him.

The little guy is wrinkled and looks ugly, but his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Yang Mingzhi. Yang Mingzhi is the most handsome in the entire Yang family. If this kid grows up, he will definitely be a handsome boy.

"Aunt, I boiled some red eggs. You can take some back later!" Wang finally took good care of Li and had time to care about other things.

The midwife didn't care about the red eggs. Yang Zhengshan had just given her five cents of silver. However, the red eggs were a symbol of good luck, so she wouldn't refuse.

"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie. I'll take you out!"

"No, no, I can go by myself! Madam, please go ahead and do your work first!" The midwife took the red eggs and left happily.

Afterwards, Yang Mingcheng sent Doctor Niu away again, and of course the consultation fee would not be small.

When everything was done, it was already noon and Wang was busy making lunch.

Seeing how busy she was, Yang Zhengshan had to keep the matter of buying someone in mind.

Next, Li had to recuperate after giving birth, and there was a new baby in the family who also needed someone to take care of him.

Even with the help of Yang Yunxue and Wang Yunqiao, Wang probably wouldn't be able to handle it all by herself.

Early the next morning.

Yang Zhengshan took Yang Mingcheng to Guancheng.

There are many human traffickers in the city now. In the past year, Chongshan Town has suffered from natural disasters and man-made disasters. Many people could not survive and either became refugees or sold themselves as slaves.

In addition, many officials in Chongshan Town had been dismissed and convicted, and the slaves they left behind would be sold again.

Therefore, the pawnshops in the city are now full of slaves, and the price of slaves has fallen to the lowest point.

Yang Zhengshan didn't like the idea of ​​treating people as commodities, but that was how the world was, and he couldn't change anything even if he didn't like it.
