Ji Zhixing got out of the car and discussed with the people outside, asking the old couple to go back to Yizhou and wait. When Ji Ersao heard that the child could be treated on the way, she agreed without thinking.
After Ruanruan came back, she gave the pill to the baby. After taking the pill, the baby still cried with red eyes.
"Baby, what's wrong with it?" Ruanruan poked the baby's fair and tender skin.
"It's hungry." The woman came over and held the child to comfort him. She took out a water bag in her hand, which contained boiled rice water.
The little baby was very resistant, tilting his head left and right and refusing to drink. His face turned red in protest and he cried at the top of his voice.
"Don't it want to drink? What is this? Isn't it milk?" Ruanruan looked at the rice water coming out of the baby's mouth.
"No, adults don't have enough to eat these days, so we have extra milk." The woman said in a low voice.
"We can only boil rice into soup for the child to drink."
"Be good, don't cry. Drink something and you won't be hungry anymore." The woman hugged the child and coaxed him softly.
"Then Ruanruan, let someone go buy some milk powder. Brother Xiaogan, let's go over there together to buy milk powder for the baby." Ruanruan looked at Zhao Chengqian next to her.
Zhao Chengqian nodded: "Okay."
"How about this? You take the child and Ji Zhixing's second sister-in-law back and find a guest room for them. When we get to Bianjing, you can have them come back."
"Otherwise, if a child is sick, it would be painful and inconvenient to ride in a car. They can get good treatment there."
"Ruanruan, you guys should stay at home after you go back. You'll be tired from riding in the car." Ruan Jingye said.
"Okay!" Ruanruan nodded.
"Auntie, please come with us."
Ji Ersao didn't know where Ruanruan was going. She had no choice now. "Okay, thank you, little fairy."
All I know is that the little fairy is very familiar with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and will definitely help them!
Ruanruan touched the vase in front of her and said, "Pingping, take me, my little brother, my aunt, and this baby home."
As soon as she finished speaking, the vase in front of her lit up, and before anyone could react, Zhao Chengqian, the woman and the baby beside them all disappeared.
Ruan Zhuang, in Ruan Ruan's bedroom.
Ji Ersao was shocked when she saw the unfamiliar environment in front of her. In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have arrived in another place.
"Is this the fairyland? The home of the gods?"
She was stunned, looking at the smooth and reflective floor, the bright and luxurious decoration in the room, and the dazzling and beautiful crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
"Okay, I'll go talk to grandma. You wait here for me."
"Little brother, please stay here with your aunt." After saying this, Ruanruan walked out of the bedroom.
"Prince, are we really at the home of the little immortal?" Ji Ersao asked as if to confirm something.
"Yes, Ruanruan and the others are kind-hearted. They took you and your child in because they felt sorry for you. Remember not to tell anyone else." Zhao Chengqian said seriously.
"Don't worry, my lord. The little immortal saved my son's life. He is the savior of me and my child. I will keep this secret to the grave no matter what." Second Sister Ji hugged the child and said firmly.
After a while, Ruanruan and Grandma Ruan came over.
Grandma Ruan glanced at the antique-looking woman in front of her and the child in her arms. "Girl, don't worry about staying here. You don't have to worry about anything else. I've already asked someone to buy you some daily necessities."
"No one will disturb you here. It's safe."
"Thank you, old immortal, for taking me in, and thank you for saving my child!" Ji Ersao's eyes were red, and she bent down to kneel down to Grandma Ruan while holding the child.
Grandma Ruan stepped forward and helped her up. "You're welcome. Ruanruan has already told us about you. Ruanruan has acknowledged Prince Jin as his godfather. You are a distant relative of Prince Jin, so you are also relatives to us."
"Thank you." Ji Ersao nodded, feeling grateful in her heart.
Prince Jin actually adopted the little fairy as his goddaughter. The prince is indeed the man of destiny, and that position should have been his.
After the hourly maid cleaned the guest room, Grandma Ruan took them to the guest room.
Ji Ersao looked at the things in the guest room curiously, her eyes fixed on the small bed beside the bed, the various small clothes, and some things she didn't recognize.
"These are bottles, diapers, cribs, and baby clothes for the baby. If you don't know how, I'll teach you."
"Grandma, the baby is hungry. Let's make him some milk powder." Ruanruan looked at the baby on the bed. She and Zhao Chengqian stood on each side, as if they had found a fun toy.
Grandma Ruan took out a new bottle, rinsed it with hot water, sterilized it at high temperature, and then added water and milk powder according to the steps.
"How old is the child?"
Ji Ersao watched and learned from the side and responded, "Five months."
"Look at the words here, how many liters of water and how many spoonfuls of powder are needed? Just add them as you see fit. This milk powder is also made from dried milk. If you don't have breast milk, you can use this too." Grandma Ruan took the milk powder can and showed her the label on it.
The label on the jar was simple, with a picture of a milk bottle and scales. Even if she couldn't recognize the words, she could still understand it.
"Yeah, I see."
"Also, this kettle has a set temperature. This water temperature is suitable for making milk powder for babies. You can just pour it into the bottle without pressing it." Grandma Ruan added.
Ji Ersao looked at the data displayed on the kettle and nodded. This kettle was amazing. Not only was it transparent so that you could see the water bubbling, but you could also set the time.
This must be a spell cast by the gods.
Grandma Ruan covered the bottle and rubbed it gently with her hands. "Just follow my method. Don't shake it or it will bubble up."
Just briefly test the water temperature with the back of your hand, just in case.
"You can also try this milk powder first."
Ji Ersao looked at the bottle of milk she handed over, squeezed a drop onto the back of her hand, and tasted it. It had a strong milky flavor, stronger than her own. It must be cow's milk.
She had given her child cow's milk in Yizhou before, and it tasted almost the same.
Grandma Ruan walked to the bed, picked up the baby, took the bottle handed to her by Ji Ersao, and taught her how to feed the baby.
Watching the child sucking the pacifier hard, his little hands clenched into fists, his eyes closed, he finished the whole bottle of milk in a short while.
"The baby is really hungry." Ruanruan lay on the edge of the bed and poked the child's face.
In the next two days, apart from delivering three meals and food and drinks to Ruan Jingye and the others, Ruan Ruan did not go there anymore.
Gan State, Bian Jing.
The doors of every house on the street were closed because the number of starving people in Bianliang was increasing day by day due to the famine.
Even when the imperial court allocated grain, officials from various prefectures were hungry, and some low-ranking officials even starved to death at home.
