100 It’s hard to say now
Qi Jiaojiao was very satisfied with Sun Sicheng's diagnosis.
"Ping'er, if she continues to recover at this rate, in three years, she should be able to go out and play with the other girls. But there must be someone with her who has medicine. The new medicine is more effective than ever before."
"Cousin, do you think Ping'er can recover if she continues like this? Will she be able to marry and have children in the future?"
"Cousin, I can't answer you on this. It is already very difficult to control heart disease. As far as I know, there is no cure for it in the whole Zhou Dynasty, not even the director of the Imperial Hospital. Who knows what will happen in the future, there may be a cure.
As for getting married and having children, Ping'er is only five years old. Isn't it too early to say this? People with heart disease can also get married, but having children is dangerous. However, nothing can be said to be absolute. There are still people who can give birth to children safely, but it is very rare. "
Qi Jiaojiao sighed: "I know it's too embarrassing to ask you this, but I'm a mother, and I can't help but worry. Cousin, you will understand me, right?"
"I don't really understand." Sun Sicheng said indifferently. He didn't want to and wouldn't spoil this cousin. "If you think about the child this way, I told you so many times that it's better to have it later. Your body will be in trouble, and the child will be in trouble. You didn't listen. The same is true now. You didn't listen either."
"Cousin, but my child is doing well, everything is normal now." Qi Jiaojiao lowered her voice, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, cousin, my husband now only has Ping'er as his child, and I have to give him a son, otherwise this family might break up.
Sheng'er's surname is Wu now, but he is not his biological son after all, and the father and son are not that close. Cousin, I gave birth to this child at the end of the first lunar month, will you come over?"
Sun Sicheng said, "I will be back in the capital at the beginning of next month. It is hard to say what will happen next year. Besides, I am not a midwife, so I am not convenient for childbirth. You should find two midwives as soon as possible and ask Siyuan to prepare the female doctor."
"How can that be possible? I feel uneasy without you."
"Don't say such nonsense. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. Besides, there's a very good chance that I won't be back on time. I can't lie to you."
Sun Sicheng said some ambiguous words because he didn't want Qi Jiao to feel psychological pressure.
He carefully examined her pulse again and found that she was indeed in good condition.
"Your pulse is very good, and the baby in your belly is also good. Remember not to eat too much in the next two months, or it will be difficult to give birth if the baby grows bigger."
"Cousin, this is your son, right?"
Sun Sicheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "I don't have that ability, unless it's a royal doctor with secret techniques. To be honest, those who say this are basically confused. How can they know the contents of their stomachs so accurately? However, I hope you get what you want. I'll go back if you're fine. My apprentice is still sick."
If his diagnosis was correct, the child should still be a little girl. However, she absolutely could not say that because Qi Jiao was wholeheartedly hoping for a son.
And sometimes the diagnosis is not that accurate.
"What's a disciple? Alright, stop glaring at me. I'm going back. I'll bring Ping'er to see you next month."
My cousin, what a joke. She is not wrong. What’s the point of having an apprentice? A famous doctor can have eight or ten apprentices around him in the future. Their real role is to help Baicaotang. How much better than an attendant?
There are still more than three months before the baby is due. I will ask my father to look for him again. With him guiding the female doctor outside, the result will definitely be different. At least I will feel at ease.
Qi Jiaojiao figured it out and got into the carriage with her daughter.
Looking at the people doing business in the bustling streets, and then looking up at the blue sky, the autumn breeze brushing her cheeks, everything was full of vitality, completely different from the lifeless days in the Chen family.
Everything we did was right, and the child's condition is getting better day by day.
If her husband can pass the exam smoothly this time and go to the capital for the spring exam next year, he might be assigned an official position in May and she would be the wife of an official.
Sheng'er is very hardworking. He should pass the examination for a tongsheng next year or the year after. After ten or eight years, he might become a xiucai, and even more likely a juren or jinshi in the future.
If my son is doing well, what does it matter whether he is my biological son or not?
They brothers are always legitimate children, born to the same mother.
Qi Jiaojiao rubbed her belly and laughed. Wu Ping beside her was completely confused. Why was her mother laughing in broad daylight? Could she dream in broad daylight?
When Sun Sicheng returned to the inn, Ping'an had just finished a big bowl of wontons and felt like he could eat more, but Qingshi stopped giving him any more, saying it would take at least an hour and that it would be thin porridge.
Ping An was in a good mood and let them eat quickly.
This minor illness came and went quickly, just in time to avoid meeting that woman. There are some people you don't really get along with, and you are naturally disgusted by them, while there are some people you should dislike, such as Huo Zhi, but you don't think he is a bad person at first sight.
There is no logic to it.
"Are you feeling better?"
Ping An saw the master coming back and said with a smile, "I feel better now. I just had a big bowl of wontons and I feel like eating more."
Sun Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you're alright. I may not be able to return to Yong'an in the next few days. The government has also notified all the doctors in the city that it's best for them to stay here. The scholars taking the exams may need to see doctors. Those weak scholars have been taking the exams for nine consecutive days. They don't have good food or drink and are under a lot of pressure. Many of them get into trouble every time."
"Master, I feel like this is not a good way to take the exam. If Brother Wang Qing were to take the exam this time, do you think he would be fine for nine days and nine nights with his body?"
"Ping An, these important matters decided by the court have their own reasons for being arranged this way. No one outside is allowed to discuss whether they are right or wrong. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Master."
"Ping An, in six or seven days it will be almost mid-October. If you really don't plan to go to the capital with me, the master may not come back until April or May this time."
Ping An certainly didn't want to go back. As far as he knew, that person was also taking the exam at this time. If he passed, he would go to Kyoto for the spring exam at the end of the year, and might even live in the Sun Mansion, which he absolutely didn't want to do.
He felt that sooner or later they would face off. He could not run away or avoid what was coming, but he could avoid it one day at a time. As he grew older, he might have more choices in some things.
"Master, please take care of your things and spend more time with your wife and the others. I will go to Baicao Valley to learn how to make medicine. If Wu Jun, Qingshi and the others want to go home for the New Year, they can follow them. If they don't want to go back, they can come with me. I will return to the village at the end of the twelfth lunar month."
If my parents are willing, they can go with me to the valley to celebrate the New Year and stay there until you come back.
Sun Sicheng's idea moved. This was indeed a good idea. With Fang Xiao in Baicao Valley, he felt at ease. Wan Changsheng and his wife could go in together and stay there until he came back.
This way, Master Qin can teach Ping An how to make medicine. A good doctor cannot be without knowing how to make medicine.
"Okay, that's fine. If your father is willing, he can learn to grow medicine there. Yong'an's Baicao Valley is the largest and best of all my medicine valleys."
