Doctor Peng was stunned.
She didn't expect to meet someone who knew medicine.
It was not right to retract the hand he had stretched out, nor was it right to keep it stretched out like that. His face turned red.
Eleventh Lady became more and more certain that this Doctor Peng was a person who had gained her reputation in vain.
She stared at the doctor intently, her expression as cold as ice.
For a moment, everyone in the room looked at them with bated breath, only Jing'er was still crying loudly. Because everyone was quiet, his crying sounded louder and more sad than before.
Eleventh Lady's heart was in a knot, and the expression on her face gradually became serious.
The room was filled with a tense atmosphere that was about to explode.
Doctor Peng thought of Xu Lingyi's murderous look in the delivery room. She shuddered and regretted that she should not have stayed with the midwife for the sake of the reward from the Marquis' Mansion. She also thought of the generous rewards from the Xu family that she had already packed into her bag - could she go to a mountain of treasures and return empty-handed?
As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but say, "The young master's pulse is very good...there's nothing wrong...stable and strong..."
When Eleventh Lady heard her still arguing, the anger in her heart suddenly flared up.
"Qiuyu," she interrupted Doctor Peng slowly, "Go to the Marquis's study and get his name card. Ask Steward Bai to send him to the Imperial Household Department. Then tell the head steward of the Imperial Household Department to at least give me an explanation."
Doctor Peng's heart trembled when she heard this.
When the nobles in the palace were about to punish the palace maids to death, they felt pity for the person in front of them who was about to die, so they would not care about some things and would speak in this tone.
She was so scared that she fell to her knees in front of the bed.
"Madam, madam, I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth." Doctor Peng was so eager to impress Eleventh Lady that she blinked and tears fell from her eyes. "Our Peng family's rejuvenation pill is a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors. It is passed down to sons, not daughters, and to daughters-in-law, not sons-in-law. No matter what disease you have, you only need three pills. If it doesn't work, taking a few more won't help either."
Eleventh Lady was stunned.
When Doctor Peng saw her, she cried even louder: "Madam, I really didn't lie to you. When the little princess had diarrhea, the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital treated her for more than half a month but couldn't cure her. It was these three rejuvenation pills that saved her life. Later, the little princess of the Crown Prince's family stopped sputum production, also thanks to my three rejuvenation pills."
After she said this, Eleventh Lady actually believed it a little.
Doctor Peng used to tell fortunes and treat children's diseases in the countryside. She was very good at observing people's faces. When she saw that Shiyi Niang's face was slightly relieved, she immediately said, "I have seen the same disease as the young master before, so I dared to take out the pills. If the young master doesn't get better after taking the pills, you send me to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I will be a villain if I tremble."
Eleventh Lady looked at Jing'er, who was crying until he was almost hoarse, and thought of the hidden talents among the people. Most Chinese medicines are mild in nature. She made up her mind and said, "Should I drink each pill three times, or three times in total?"
Doctor Peng was very happy.
The atmosphere in the room was not relaxed.
"Drink each pill three times!" Doctor Peng said earnestly, as if she was afraid that Shiyi Niang would change her mind. "I'll go get the medicine for the young master right away."
Eleventh Lady nodded.
Hong Wen immediately brought up hot water.
After dissolving the pill, Doctor Peng pinched Jing'er's jaw and poured the medicine into his body.
Jing'er had a sad face, but he couldn't move. His little body twisted and turned in the quilt, which was wrapped tightly, making people feel uncomfortable just by looking at it.
Eleventh Lady kept telling Doctor Peng: "Be gentle, be gentle!"
Not a drop of the medicine spilled out and the child did not choke.
Eleventh Lady had some expectations in her heart.
After finishing the wine cup-sized cup of medicine, Doctor Peng walked around the room holding the child diagonally.
"What are you doing?" Eleventh Lady asked nervously.
Doctor Peng said, "We have to make him spit out what's choking in his throat." As she was speaking, Jing'er burped and spit out big gulps of brown medicine.
The people in the room were horrified, but Doctor Peng was ecstatic: "It's all right, it's all right, it works."
It turns out that Doctor Peng was just trying her luck!
The thought flashed through Mother Wan's mind, and she had no time to think about it. She hurriedly asked the maid to fetch some water for Jing'er to change his clothes.
* * * * * *
Half an hour later, Jing'er began to wolf down the milk.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Eleventh Lady hurriedly ordered Qiuyu: "Go to the outer courtyard and tell Chief Steward Bai to send a servant to guard the palace gate. As soon as the Marquis comes out, tell him so that he won't worry."
The autumn rain left in response.
Only then did Eleventh Lady realize that there was sweat on her forehead.
She held her son who had eaten and fell asleep, and heaved a long sigh. She smiled and told Mother Wan: "Go and tell Manager Bai to keep Gu's!"
Gu came from the wet nurse's house. Since she wanted to use him, there should be some formalities to go through.
Gu covered her clothes and knelt down to express her gratitude.
Madam Wan smiled and agreed, and took Gu downstairs. Hongwen, the maid in Jing'er's room, explained the rules of the mansion to her and arranged a place for her to rest. Xiulian was sent to report to the Madam, and Yumei went to the small kitchen to serve the meal: "The eldest lady is here too, prepare the table according to her usual dishes and bring them in."
Yumei left in response, and Mother Wan saw Amber and Zhuxiang walking towards them, shoulder to shoulder, talking in low voices.
When Eleventh Lady was giving birth, Amber was in the house and Zhu Xiang was outside. The two of them stayed up for two days and two nights and only went to rest when it was almost dawn. Unexpectedly, it came again at this time.
Mother Wan greeted them with a smile: "Why don't you take a break?"
Amber was thinking about Jing'er: "Has the Sixth Young Master started eating yet?"
Mother Wan recounted what had just happened in vivid detail and also boasted about the role she had played in the matter.
After hearing this, both of them showed joy on their faces and said a few words, "Fortunately, Mother Wan is here to protect us." Then they went into the ear room one after another with Mother Wan.
Eleventh Lady was leaning on the large pillow at the head of the bed with a smile on her face, while Zhen Jie'er was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Jing'er with a smile: "...Mother, look at Sixth Brother's hairline, is it similar to mine?" As she spoke, she smoothed her bangs to show Eleventh Lady.
"It's a bit like that." Eleventh Lady smiled. She was a little surprised to see Amber and the others coming in. "You're here so early." Thinking that it was getting late, she asked with concern, "Have you had lunch?"
The two men bowed to Eleventh Lady.
"We've had lunch." Then they asked Jing'er in unison, "I heard that the Sixth Young Master has started breastfeeding?"
Eleventh Lady nodded and said with a smile: "Finally, I can see the bright moon in the clear sky." These were her true feelings.
Amber and the others laughed.
Eleventh Lady then remembered something and said to Amber, "If you hadn't come, I would have sent someone to look for you." Then she pointed to the bedside cabinet and said, "The list of names for the third-day bathing ceremony is in there. Check it out to see if there is anything missing. Give it to Mother Du before the wedding."
Amber smiled and replied.
Mama Tian and Yumei directed the maids to bring in the kang table. Yumei and Xiaoli served Zhenjieer lunch on the kang, while Mama Tian served Shiyi Niang porridge on the bed: "… Use black chicken to make soup, then remove the residue and keep the soup, and use millet, black rice, and glutinous rice to make porridge. Try it and see if it tastes good?"
Eleventh Lady now liked everything she saw, and the porridge was indeed fragrant, glutinous and tender. She smiled and nodded, "Serve a bowl for Zhenjie, too."
Zhen Jieer smiled and said, "That's for my mother..."
"It's a nourishing food anyway," Eleventh Lady said with a smile, "It won't hurt to eat some."
The two of them were chatting and laughing, and the old lady and the second lady came over.
"She said she started feeding!" I am so happy.
Eleventh Lady smiled and said "yes". Just as she was about to ask whether the Madam had eaten lunch, Xu Sizhun and Xu Sijie came. Seeing the Madam, they both shrank back.
The lady looked at him with amusement and said sternly, "Didn't I tell you to stop disturbing your mother and come to my place as soon as school is over? Why are you here again?"
Xu Sijie was not very close to the lady-in-waiting and was always a little afraid of her. Upon hearing this, he pulled Xu Sizhun's clothes and hid behind him.
Xu Sizhun looked at Shiyi Niang pitifully and said hesitantly, "We, we will just take a look at my brother and leave. We will go to eat right away and won't delay my nap time."
The lady smiled in her heart and said, "Go back quickly after you have a look. Madam Du is waiting to serve you dinner!"
The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the bedside to see Jin Ge'er with a smile on their faces. Seeing his brother sleeping, Xu Sizhun was very disappointed and muttered quietly: "Why is he sleeping every time I come!"
Eleventh Lady put her arm around his shoulders and said, "Because my brother is still young. When he grows up, he will naturally be less sleepy!"
"So grandma sleeps the least?" Xu Sijie, who was squeezed next to Xu Sizhun, suddenly said.
Everyone in the room started laughing, even the lady could no longer keep a straight face.
Xu Sijie watched as he became more courageous and said, "That's right. I saw grandma get up and tuck us in last night!"
When Xu Sizhun heard this, he hurriedly covered Xu Sijie's mouth.
Everyone in the room was very surprised.
The old lady thought of the incident with Xu Sizun that happened in the middle of the night. This time, Nan Yong's wife was serving in the room, so her expression became serious: "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" The others couldn't help but listen.
Xu Sizhun did not dare to say anything, and the lady looked at Xu Sijie. Seeing that Xu Sizhun did not say anything, Xu Sijie pursed his lips, looking like he would rather die than surrender.
The lady was both angry and amused.
Eleventh Lady hurriedly said, "If you make a mistake, just correct it. If you know you are wrong but don't correct it, and don't tell the truth to the elders, grandma will be angry!"
Xu Sizhun was like a deflated ball: "My fifth brother and I want to make a big lantern for my sixth brother."
"Making lanterns?"
Xu Sizhun lowered his head and said, "I want to die when my sixth brother is one month old."
I want to give you all a surprise!
Eleventh Lady put her arm around Xu Sizun's shoulders and said, "Is this for your sixth brother?"
Xu Sizhun nodded.
"Anyway, he's asleep now, so he didn't hear anything. We won't tell him. This way it won't be considered a leak, right?"
Xu Sizhun's face lit up as he listened.
"But you can't use your sleep time to make lanterns. If you want to make lanterns, do it during the day. If you can't sleep well at night, how can you listen to Mr. Zhao's lectures? If Mr. Zhao knew that you didn't listen to his lectures, I wonder how sad he would be."
Xu Sizhun nodded repeatedly, and even Xu Sijie nodded as well.
The second wife looked at him with a strange light in her eyes.
