In a daze, Eleventh Lady seemed to hear the crying of a child.

She sat up suddenly, only to see Mother Wan sitting on the kang with a peaceful expression, gently patting Jing'er in her arms.

"Madam," Qiu Yu, who was serving beside her, hurried forward, "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing the noise, Mother Wan also came over.

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. How can she sleep peacefully if the child doesn't eat?

"It's okay, it's okay." Eleventh Lady slowly leaned back on the pillow, "How is Brother Jin?"

Qiu Yu listened and her expression darkened. "He woke up once during the sleep. Mama Wan asked the nurse surnamed Gu to feed the Sixth Young Master, but the Sixth Young Master refused to eat. Mama Wan had no choice but to feed him some water."

Eleventh Lady became anxious: "What time is it now?"

Qiu Yu said, "It's still a quarter to noon."

"Have you asked Doctor Wu to take a look?"

Qiuyu shook her head gently: "The servant said that Doctor Wu is on duty in the palace today. He can't leave the palace until noon."

If you leave the palace and go among the lotus flowers, wouldn't it be the beginning of the third month?

Mother Wan came over holding Jing'er.

"Don't worry, Madam. As soon as the Marquis heard about it, he went to the palace immediately!"

Eleventh Lady was shocked: "When did it happen?"

Mother Wan said, "I left at 11 pm."

In other words, we have been walking for about half an hour.

Hand over the card, see the emperor, ask for permission, go back to Lotus Garden... Even if everything goes smoothly, it will be too late. By then, Doctor Wu should have left the palace. Instead of going to the palace to ask for the emperor's permission, it is better to send a steward to wait outside the palace gate!

Calculating in her mind, Eleventh Lady was slightly stunned.

Xu Lingyi often went in and out of the palace, so he naturally knew the pros and cons better than her, but he still went... Was it because instead of waiting, it would be more reassuring to do something?

Eleventh Lady took the son from Mother Wan's hands, looked at his sleepy little face, and leaned over to kiss his cheek.

The cheeks are soft and tender, with the tenderness and smoothness that only babies have.

It has been seven hours since you were born, but you have only drunk water a few times... What's wrong with you? Do you not want to drink your nurse's milk? Or are you feeling uncomfortable? And you can't speak...

Thinking of this, she tucked the child's blanket nervously.

A little maid came in and reported: "Madam, the eldest lady is here!"

Qiuyu explained hurriedly, "Madam, you just went to bed when the eldest lady came. She saw that you and the Sixth Young Master were asleep. The eldest lady looked after the child for a while and went back. She said she would come to see you later." Madam asked about the child as soon as she woke up, but she didn't have a chance to speak at that time. She took a small box from the tall cabinet beside her where the child's clothes were stored, "This is what the eldest lady sent over early in the morning."

When Eleventh Lady opened it, she found a pair of small red gold bracelets with a cluster of small crabapple flowers hanging from them. They were very beautiful.

She was very surprised: "Please invite the young lady in."

Sister Zhen wore a white silk jacket and a rose-red bodice, which made her look warm and bright in the early winter.

Shiyi Niang asked Qiuyu to bring a brocade stool for her to sit on, and pointed at the box and said, "What is this? It's too expensive."

Zhen Jie'er felt a little uneasy when she heard this, and whispered, "My second brother gave it to me before he went to Luoye Mountain. He said it was for my sixth brother."

Yeah?

Eleventh Lady looked at the crabapple flower hanging on the bracelet.

Hanging crabapple flowers are mostly given to girls. At that time, the child was not born yet, so it was unknown whether it was a boy or a girl, and her child was the second son. With Xu Siyu's cautious personality, if he wanted to give a gift, he would only give a gold locket engraved with something like "Peace every year" or "Good luck and wealth" that would never go wrong... How could he give a small bracelet with a hanging crabapple flower?

Could it be that Sister Zhen acted on her own...this bracelet was originally worn by her when she was a child?

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Why did you come at this time?"

Zhen Jie'er was only a few days younger than Xu Siyu. Although she didn't grow up together like other brothers and sisters, she had heard the maids and mother muttering about "our second young master" since she was old enough to understand. She wanted to meet this second brother. When she met him, he was smart and lively, and dared to sit on the steps. Unlike her, she had to put a brocade cushion on the beauty chair when she sat on it, fearing that her clothes would get dirty and the lady would be unhappy. She envied him very much... Later, she felt that he was very pitiful... Especially after Qin Yi Niang died, her father and mother did not touch Qin Yi Niang's things. Xiulan, who had learned abacus from Wen Yi Niang and was later transferred to her room by Shiyi Niang to work, heard from Wen Yi Niang that, except for some items on the list, Qin Yi Niang had squandered all the rewards and gold ornaments that her second brother had received over the years, leaving only less than 100 taels of silver. ...When she heard the mothers in charge discussing what to give to her sixth brother, she was afraid that Xu Siyu would be embarrassed. It happened that a few days ago, Madam Wen gave her all the jewelry that she had been keeping for her. She found the red gold bracelet that the Wen family gave her when she was one month old but she had never worn before...but she was afraid that her second aunt would ask, so she came late on purpose.

She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "I, I was waiting for the letter yesterday... I slept late... I got up late." The more she spoke, the more guilty she felt. She thought about what Eleventh Lady had taught her - if you don't know what to say, just don't say it. It's better than being false. She sat up straighter, raised her voice slightly, and said with a smile: "Mother, I heard from Mother Wan that father named Sixth Brother 'Jin', is it true?"

Eleventh Lady became even more certain that her guess was correct.

Although she didn't know what the two children were up to, Zhen Jie'er's defense of Xu Siyu was better than adding insult to injury. She followed Zhen Jie'er's words and said, "Your father and I both think this name is good..."

Before he could finish his words, Jing'er suddenly started crying.

Eleventh Lady hurriedly hugged Jing'er and called out to Mother Wan: "Did you pee again?"

Mother Wan walked over quickly, took off the blanket, and the diaper was dry.

"Do you want to drink some water?" Mother Wan asked hesitantly.

"Then give him some water!"

Sister Zhen watched curiously from the side.

Jing'er pursed his lips and spit out the water that was fed to him.

"Are you hungry?" asked Eleventh Lady.

Hong Wen ran to call Gu over.

This time Jing'er successfully put the penis in his mouth, but after sucking it twice, he started crying again.

Gu's face turned a little pale.

Mother Wan didn't care about all this and called another wet nurse.

Jing'er turned his face to the side and cried loudly. Not only that, he also started coughing as if he was choking.

Mother Wan held the child upright and patted his back gently. He cried even louder and started coughing while crying.

"It's not like he peed, nor did he drink. He took two sips of milk and then stopped eating. What happened? Is there some other problem?" Thinking of what the midwife said about the baby's shoulder being stuck when he was born, Eleventh Lady lifted the quilt and tried to get out of bed.

"Madam, you can't get up." Mother Wan shouted anxiously, "The imperial physician said that you have to lie down for a few days, otherwise you will suffer from confinement disease." She wanted to send the child over, but she saw that the child was coughing badly, so she didn't dare to let the child lie down. She wanted to go over to stop Shiyi Niang, but she couldn't give the child to others, so she had to shout "Qiu Yu", "Hurry up and help Madam lie down."

The child's crying broke Eleventh Lady's heart. She couldn't listen to anything at all, but she insisted on getting up and holding the child. She also walked gently while patting him gently.

Mother Wan is overwhelmed.

I also thought of Xu Lingyi accompanying Shiyi Niang in the delivery room, and when he heard that the child was sick, he rushed to the palace to ask for permission...

If anything happens to my wife...

I just hope that Mother Tian, ​​who is instructing the cook in the small kitchen to cook for Shiyi Niang, will come soon!

At first, Zhen Jieer felt a little embarrassed when she saw the nurse feeding Jing'er. Later, when she saw Jing'er crying hard, she became a little worried and pulled Wan Mama to ask, "What should we do?"

Mother Wan was extremely anxious, but she suddenly had an idea. She gritted her teeth and said, "Madam, do you think we should ask Dr. Peng to come and take a look?"

Eleventh Lady was a little surprised: "Doctor Peng is still in the mansion?"

Madam Wan nodded: "The two midwives and Dr. Peng are all in the mansion." After that, afraid that Eleventh Lady didn't understand, she added, "If the Marquis is happy, let them have the Sixth Young Master's third-day baptism ceremony before leaving."

The third-day bathing ceremony is presided over by a midwife, who can take away anything that was added to the basin.

Thinking of what Doctor Peng did on the day of delivery, Shiyi Niang hesitated.

At this moment, Mother Wan just wanted to comfort Eleventh Lady and get her to lie down on the bed.

"Didn't Doctor Peng say that she can't deliver babies? The Queen Mother asked her to come because she can treat children's illnesses." She stepped forward and helped Shiyi Niang to the bedside. "Since she came from the palace, she must have some knowledge, otherwise, the doctors in the Imperial Hospital would not tolerate her. Why don't you let her come and take a look. If what she says makes sense, we will act accordingly. If it doesn't make sense, we will just treat it as if we had invited a doctor to come and diagnose her."

Shiyi Niang looked at her son who was crying non-stop, and thought that even if everything went well with Xu Lingyi, it would take two hours for Doctor Wu to come. Could she just watch her son cry like this for two hours?

Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated: "Let her come and see!"

Hong Wen listened and ran out without waiting for instructions.

Mother Wan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Jing'er who was crying non-stop, and began to coax him patiently.

Eleventh Lady felt some pain in her lower body, so she let Zhen Jie'er help her to bed and rest.

In less than half a cup of tea, Doctor Peng arrived.

This time she wore a real purple jacket, which still looked a little weird.

Mother Wan held the child in her arms and showed it to her.

She had already found out why she was called on the way, and took Jing'er's pulse as soon as she entered the house.

The child's arms were small, and Doctor Peng's fingers were thick. Seeing that she didn't feel the pulse at all, Shiyi Niang felt a little dissatisfied. Seeing that her eyes were darting around and she didn't seem to be concentrating on diagnosing the pulse, she was doubting whether she could really diagnose the pulse. She had already come to the conclusion: "Sixth Young Master choked on something in his throat during childbirth. I have a rejuvenation pill passed down from my ancestors. Sixth Young Master will be fine after taking three pills." As she said that, she took out three wax pills the size of quail eggs from her purse and said, "Dissolve them in water and drink them three times. It will be fine."

If it were any other time, Eleventh Lady would have just given her a few taels of silver and let her go, but this time, she couldn't help but feel furious.

If you want to cheat money, you should choose the right occasion. You even gave the pills to the child. What if he gets sick? This is too irresponsible!

Her face darkened, and she refused to let anyone take the wax pill. She said, "A floating pulse is like a log floating on the water; a flood pulse is like a turbulent flood; a weak pulse is floating and weak, and is loud and slow. I wonder what our brother Jing'er's pulse is like?"
