Chapter 113: Difficult Birth
“I see.”
Madam Fang paused, "As expected, this man is fickle and easily dislikes the old and loves the new."
Domestic flowers are always not as fragrant as wild flowers.
And there will never be a shortage of vixen in this world.
Madam Yun saw that Madam Fang was in a trance, so she reached out and patted her, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, I just thought that since Miss Su is a concubine and she ordered two sets of men's clothes, they must be for that high-ranking official in the capital. So we need to make them carefully, so as not to be criticized for our shortcomings and accused of not being as good as the Linglong Pavilion in the capital."
Hearing what Madam Fang said, Madam Yun nodded, "That's right. Since she came from the capital, she must have worn Linglong Pavilion's clothes. We need to be careful and not ruin Linglong Pavilion's reputation. We two will have to work hard these days."
"Yes." Madam Fang nodded with a smile.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth again.
He Yanxiu still hasn't come back in the past few days.
Kang was busy preparing for the opening of the shop and was therefore busy all day long, so she no longer came to visit Su Yujin. Chen was also going to go back to her natal home to stay for a few days as her grandmother was going to celebrate her birthday in the next few days.
Su Yujin had some free time and began to prepare the pills that He Yanxiu would need to take for his next course of treatment.
Originally, this medicine should be taken for another month or so, but seeing how busy He Yanxiu is, it is not easy for him to eat three meals a day on time. I am afraid that this medicine cannot be taken on time.
Based on this consideration, Su Yujin decided to change He Yanxiu's medicine into pills in advance, which would be convenient to carry and take, and would also ensure that he could take the medicine on time.
So, after breakfast that day, Su Yujin went to buy the various medicinal herbs she needed.
There were quite a few clinics and drug stores in Hedong Prefecture. Su Yujin found the largest one and saw that all the medicinal materials she wanted were available there. She asked the waiter to prepare the medicine according to the prescription she had prepared and the dosage.
After the herbs were ready, Su Yujin paid the money, asked Ai Cao to take the herbs, and the two of them went back together.
It rained in spring yesterday, and the bluestone slabs on this street were still a little wet. Pedestrians walked slowly to avoid slipping.
"Young lady, please hold on to me, don't let me slip..."
Before he could finish his words, Ai Cao slipped and fell hard on his butt, knocking down a young girl in green clothes next to him, and both of them fell to the ground.
Su Yujin grabbed Ai Cao and hurried to help the girl who fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, are you hurt?" Su Yujin asked with concern.
Hua Jiang almost jumped up, not even bothering to respond to Su Yujin's question, but hurriedly picked up the oil paper bag that was thrown far away when he fell.
Because of the force of the fall to the ground and then being sat on again, the oil paper package had completely loosened and the medicinal materials inside had spilled out.
"My medicine!" Hua Jiang turned pale and shouted.
"I'm really sorry. If your medicine is broken, I'll get you another one. Miss, you can go to the clinic to see if you are injured. This way, we can both feel more at ease."
"It's too late!" Hua Jiang's lips trembled, and tears could not stop flowing. "My wife is having a difficult labor. This is the medicine the doctor just prescribed to induce labor. We were only two steps away from the inn, but you guys threw her into this state."
"If I go to get the medicine now, I don't have that much money, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. If it delays my wife's delivery and something goes wrong, even if I have ten lives, it won't be enough to compensate!"
The purchased slaves were bound by their masters’ indentures and could be beaten and scolded at will. Even their lives were not their own. In many cases, even if they had not done anything wrong, the masters might sell them if they were unhappy, not to mention delaying such an important matter as saving lives.
If the matter is investigated, his life would be in danger.
The maidservant became like this because of her carelessness.
When Ai Cao heard this, her face turned pale, "I'm sorry, this is all my fault."
Having caused such a big disaster, Ai Cao was so panicked that she couldn't say anything anymore. She subconsciously looked at Su Yujin, "Maid, maid..."
Su Yujin frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Give the prescription to the maid beside me and ask her to go get the medicine first. I will go with you to see your wife first?"
"I know a little bit about medicine. I just bought a lot of herbs from the pharmacy, including angelica, white atractylodes, perilla leaves, tangerine peel, chuanxiong, etc. They are all suitable for prescribing midwifery prescriptions. When the time comes, I will treat you. If you need anything, you can directly choose from them and boil medicine for your wife to take."
When Hua Jiang saw Su Yujin come up with a solution to the current dilemma, she was relieved at first, but then her face became full of worry again, "Will this... work?"
A random person she met on the road said that he had medical skills and could help take care of the ugly lady. Not to mention that she didn't quite believe it. Even if he really had outstanding medical skills, would the lady and Shen's mother agree to let her see the doctor if she was brought back rashly? "It's like this now, and there is no better solution. It's better to make up for everything than to panic and not know how to adapt after encountering something. When the time comes, I will help the girl explain a little in front of your wife, so that your wife will know that you are not doing a bad job, but there are reasons for it."
There is some truth in what you said...
After all, the situation has already come to this, so we should try our best to save the situation. Maybe there will be a chance of recovery.
After thinking about it, Hua Jiang nodded heavily, "Then let's do as the young lady said. You will go with me to see the Madam first, and this sister will go get the medicine first."
After the deal was settled, Ai Cao took the prescription and hurried to the pharmacy to get the medicine, while Su Yujin followed Hua Jiang to the Penglai Inn not far away.
The lady Wang mentioned by Hua Jiang, whose husband's surname was Qin, booked the entire inn and the backyard, and cleaned out a room in the backyard to use as a temporary delivery room.
Before entering the delivery room, Su Yujin had already smelled the strong smell of blood and saw many people coming in and out of the delivery room.
"Hua Jiang, why did you come back just now?" Hua Zhi frowned when she saw Hua Jiang had nothing in his hands. "Where is the medicine you got for Madam?"
"Sister Huazhi, I, I..." Hua Jiang looked at Huazhi, who had a stern expression, and shrank his neck timidly.
"My lady, this is what happened." Su Yujin roughly told Huazhi the whole story. "So I came to see the lady first and see if the herbs I have can be used to solve the urgent problem. This can also be regarded as making up for the trouble my maid accidentally caused."
Lost the herbs, and found a girl who claimed to be a doctor? Hua Zhi raised her eyebrows and looked Su Yujin up and down, "You said you know medicine, then you know medicine. If you are not good at medicine and delay my wife's delivery, how can you bear it?"
