Chapter 113

East wing, main house.

Mrs. Jiang Baixuan is still sewing close-fitting clothes for the baby in her belly. Other clothes can be prepared by the girls in the mansion, but Mrs. Jiang still wants to make two pieces of close-fitting clothes herself.

Her expression was soft and her eyes were full of love as she looked at the little garment that was about to take shape in her hand. At this time, Han Zhongpu came over from the study room next door.

“Ms.

Lady Jiang did not put down the needlework in her hand and asked, "Husband, are you done?"

"Yes, you are done." Han Zhongpu sat on the stool opposite her. Qiao Zhu wanted to come over to refill the tea, but he stopped her.

"You go down first."

"Yes, Langjun." Qiaozhu glanced at Mrs. Jiang, said good luck and left.

Mrs. Jiang raised her eyes to look at him and asked, "What did you and Dr. Xu say?"

"Nothing." Han Zhongpu touched the goose-headed jade belt hook at his waist with his fingertips and said calmly, "I only asked a few questions about how to correct the pregnancy."

When Mrs. Jiang heard what he said, she turned her eyes slightly and asked softly: "Husband, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did you let Han Sui run so far? Yanting County, go and ask Doctor Xu to come over."

When she heard this, she was slightly frightened.

At that time, apart from Dr. Xu, only she, her brother, and Mrs. Yang knew about the scene. Because of that tip bag, Mrs. Jiang felt an extra thorn in her heart. Even if Han Zhongpu punished Mrs. Yang and gave other explanations, she would not be able to go back to the beginning and easily believe every word he said.

She was originally worried, afraid that Han Zhongpu would be ruthless and want to...

but now that she thought about it, she was the one who thought bad things about her pillow person.

Han Zhongpu sighed helplessly: "I didn't want to, but Pang Shibo asked me for two pens."

Madam Jiang's eyes showed suspicion. She had heard him say this, but she didn't know what it had to do with it.

"Those two pens were made by Taoist Lu of Shezhou. To make this pen, you have to choose one cent from a thousand cents. Such a fine product, Shibo begged to give it to a private doctor."

Han How could Zhongpu not be surprised? Moreover, the young doctor seemed not to know the value of these two pens and still used them to write prescriptions.

He had thought before that Han Tao was someone who couldn't hide his words and would definitely tell Xu Yi about this. But the other party didn't understand at all. This was a test, and it was really a punch on the quilt, which was so light and useless.

After some contact today, the other party was wary, but not much. He was very smart and different from what Pang Shibo said.

Han Zhongpu said solemnly: "To be able to take such good care of Shibo, this doctor must have other advantages."

"I saw that the pen today looked familiar, but I didn't notice it." After hearing what he said, Mrs. Jiang sighed softly. .

Han Zhongpu hesitated and looked at his wife: "..." Is this point biased?

“Ms.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Jiang's face, which was already low on energy and blood, and her expression turned even worse.

Han Zhongpu grabbed her hand distressedly, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry, "Xuan Niang still doesn't understand what kind of person I am now? If I really want to do something, I won't let you know."

"You... ..." Mrs. Jiang was stunned.

Han Zhongpu did not let go. He could be an official at this age. How could he be pure and kind, but he was not sinister and cunning. If so, how could he put so much thought into dealing with a small private doctor.

Besides, the incident with the sachet had already made Xuan Niang feel grudge against him. If he still did something evil at this time, wouldn't it mean that Xuan Niang would become farther and farther away from him.

Mrs. Jiang pursed her lips, her heart trembling at the openness of her heart to him. She tried to open her mouth several times, but was unable to speak.

...

At dawn the next day, Xu Yi opened his eyes on time according to his biological clock.

He got up and saw the rising sun falling on the window. He went over to prop up the window.

A beam of soft light refracted into the house. Xu Yi squinted and looked at the flower pots placed in the corridor outside the house. Several roses were in bloom, and there were flowers on the side branches that were just about to bloom.

Such beautiful flowers were brought there by the girl last night.

Not long after, a girl wearing a purple silk flower came over and said blessedly: "Doctor Xu, do you need water?"

"Trouble, girl." Xu Yi nodded.

This girl looked to be no more than two years older than Ah Jin, which made Xu Yi think of the two children at home and how they were doing these days.

He had never left the two of them before, so he didn't take them with him when he went out this time because he felt that he didn't know where to return from this trip. Now that everyone has arrived in Yinping County, they naturally have to write letters to their families.

After washing, Xu Yi took out pen and ink from the medicine box, thought about it, and asked the girl who was sent to serve him: "Is there any paper in the house?"

He didn't bring much paper, so he had to use it sparingly.

Besides, the dignified county magistrate's residence would not lack such a few pieces of paper.

The girl soon came over with a stack of good jute paper. This jute paper was naturally different from the jute paper Xu Yi used to wrap Xiaoshi pills.

Feeling that the paper was white and tough, Xu Yi turned it over and looked around. Although the back was rough to the touch, there were no sesame balls or straw sticks. In a bookstore, a piece of fine jute paper like this costs more than 200 yuan.

Xu Yi looked at this pile and saw that there were half a sword. Magistrate Han was quite generous.

He took the paper, thanked the girl, and asked her to rest instead of waiting in the room.

There was no one else in the room. Xu Yi relaxed his mind, studied the ink, and wrote down the cultural sights he encountered on the road, the interesting things he saw, and the medical treatment he gave to the old village chief.

Two quarters of an hour later, after writing on five pieces of jute paper, Xu Yi stopped holding the pen.

After writing the letter to A Xu and A Jin, Xu Yi will next send a letter to his friends to report that he is safe.

When they were leaving, Xing Yuesen and the others had given him the address of the inn where they would stay. As long as he went to Di's Inn to mail the letter, they would receive it.

For this letter, Xu Yi didn't need to write long, and he finished it quickly.

He blew on the wet ink, and when he realized that there was no envelope in the room, he opened the door and went out, where he saw the girl sweeping the floor in the yard.

"Girl, come here." Xu Yi shouted towards her.

The little girl ran over with a broom in her arms and asked, "Doctor Xu, what are your orders? Do you want breakfast?"

"Well, do you have an envelope there?" Xu Yi said, "It doesn't matter if you have breakfast. Whenever breakfast is provided in the house, just bring me one."

The girl replied: "I don't know the envelope. If you want breakfast, the kitchen is ready. If Doctor Xu wants it, I will bring it to you now."

Unable to get the envelope from the little girl, Xu Yi had to go to Han Tao.

When Han Tao heard that he wanted to send a letter, he didn't ask any questions and said, "Mr. Lang has it. I'll get it for Dr. Xu."

Xu Yi: "..." If he had known this, he went to the bookstore to buy it.

But what was unexpected was that when Han Zhongpu heard that he wanted to send a letter, he said that he could just let Manager Zhang handle it instead of Xu Yi going to the Di shop in person.

"I have nothing to do in the house, so I don't need to bother Manager Zhang." Xu Yi looked at the young man who had come over on an errand and said calmly.

Manager Zhang said, "If Doctor Xu wants to go out, I'll ask the palace to prepare a sedan chair."

"No need." Xu Yi stopped him, "I don't like riding in a sedan chair."

Manager Zhang was stunned and quickly said, "Yes, Then prepare a car for Dr. Xu."

This time, Xu Yi did not refuse.

Manager Zhang cupped his hands and left briskly to prepare the car. Xu Yi had an envelope stuffed in his arms and a bulge in his chest. He didn't pay much attention and walked back and forth in the small yard.

The servants working in the Han Mansion looked over curiously when they saw Xu Yi walking back and forth.

"Who is this person?"

"It seems to be the doctor that Mr. Lang invited to treat his wife."

"What is he doing?"

"I don't know, it looks strange, so let's not look any further."

"... "

They all spoke in low voices and stayed far away. Xu Yi didn't know.

He hadn't practiced boxing for many days and felt that his bones were hard, so he wanted to loosen his muscles.

Not long after, Manager Zhang came back, and Han Tao came back with him.

Han Tao was worried that Xu Yi was unfamiliar with the place and wanted to go with him.

Xu Yi pinched his eyebrows and said, "Han Guijie, you don't have to do errands today?" Han Tao said cheerfully, "No, sir, I'll be excused from errands for a few days. I'm very free. Why don't

you let me go shopping with you?"

Having said that, how could Xu Yi disagree? He and Han Tao walked out of the side door side by side, and there was a donkey cart waiting outside.

Entering the carriage, Xu Yi said: "I want to go to Di's store first."

"You want to send letters to those young men. At that time, I remember that Mr. Tao said that he asked you to send the letters to his house. Wouldn't it be a semicolon opened in Yinping? "Han Tao was present at the time and still remembers those words.

Xu Yi said: "I confiscated the token."

Han Tao's lips twitched slightly. If he had accepted the token, he would have saved dozens more money.

Xu Yi didn't care, and said, "Just go to Di's store. It's just a letter delivery. You can get there in a few days."

The handlebars took them out of the county seat of Yinping County and drove a few miles to the official road. After a while, They stopped at a two-story mansion.

After entering, you only need to pay the corresponding amount of money to send the letter out.

You can never go out just to send a letter.

After returning to the carriage, Xu Yi asked Han Tao to take him back to the county town for a tour.

Although Han Tao is an entourage, he is basically a servant, but the person he is following is County Magistrate Han, the largest official in Yinping County.

Everything that County Magistrate Han did since he took office was vigorous and resolute. The original corrupt officials in the county were afraid of being investigated and bribed Han Tao many times. Han Tao reported to Magistrate Han that the fate of those corrupt officials would be bad, but because of this, he became familiar with many places in Yinping County.

He soon took Xu Yi to a teahouse.

"This teahouse belongs to the Tao family." Han Tao winked at Xu Yi.

He understood with his eyes: "The Tao family's business is very good, even the husband praised it."

When Xu Yi heard this, he became interested: "Do you have anything to say?"

Han Tao thought that the husband had no idea. He said that he couldn't tell anyone about this, so he told Xu Yi without any concealment: "Lang Jun passed through several prefectures and more than a dozen counties along the way. In these prefectures, there are semicolons of the Tao family. You said the Tao family's business With such a big business, isn’t the person behind it powerful?”

Besides, although the Tao family are merchants, they are also large landowners in the local area, with countless properties and lands.

Xu Yi was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that when Magistrate Han came to take office, he had been checking the situation along the way. No wonder he was able to catch many corrupt officials soon after taking office.

The two of them ordered a pot of spring tea in the teahouse.

The aroma of spring tea is elegant, the tea soup is clear, and the entrance is slightly bitter and sweet.

The tea keeper wanted to add some condiments for Xu Yi and the others, but Xu Yi shook his head and refused, but Han Tao had already added a lot of things to the clear tea soup, including hawthorn slices, red dates, sesame seeds, and peach petals.

Looking at Han Tao again, he held a spoon and scooped it into his mouth with satisfaction, showing a look of enjoyment on his face.

Xu Yi: "..."

They had fun outside for half a day, and then returned to Han Mansion in a donkey cart.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, Mrs. Jiang's personal maid Qiaozhu came to ask Xu Yi to diagnose Ping'an pulse.

Xu Yi didn't say anything, just put the medicine box on his back and followed her.

Qiaozhu led the way and whispered: "Mr. Lang has gone to the Yamen for duty. Manager Zhang is not at home, so only my wife is in the house. My wife said that today's pulse diagnosis will be in the yard. The flowers in the yard are blooming." Okay, we can also eat some fruits and chat."

These words were what Mrs. Jiang ordered her to say.

She was a personal maid, so she didn't dare to say anything. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Jiang's orders, she would have been like a quail at this moment.

Xu Yi accepted Lady Jiang's sentiments and said, "Thank you, miss, for the advice."

Not long after, Xu Yi came outside the house where they met yesterday. In the huge yard, there was a small couch, and Lady Jiang sat on it, with her belly Covered with a long brocade scarf embroidered with flowers, birds and landscapes.

Beside Mrs. Jiang, stood an old woman who was squeezing her shoulders. The old woman's hands were very steady. While she was squeezing Mrs. Jiang's shoulders, she raised her eyes to look at Xu Yi who was coming over.

Xu Yi also saw that she had a long face and a hooked nose. She was about forty years old and looked hard to talk to.

He looked away. At this time, Mrs. Jiang looked back at him and said to him, "Doctor Xu, I'm bothering you again."

"Ms. Jiang, what's wrong with you today?" Xu Yi put down the medicine box and went directly to the topic.

Mrs. Jiang just finished talking to her husband last night and took the medicinal decoction. She felt good when she woke up today. When she looked in the mirror, she felt that her face had improved a lot and there was a trace of color.

However, she was still worried and wanted Xu Yi to take a look.

After hearing what she said about her symptoms, Xu Yi asked, "How is your appetite?"

"My wife had breakfast early. She ate half a bowl of red bean and millet porridge and couldn't eat anything else." Mother Yao next to her answered for Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang felt a little embarrassed and touched the tip of her nose with the handkerchief, and said softly: "I have something on my mind, so I can't eat."

Mother Yao said: "Madam, you are going to give birth now. If you can't eat or sleep well, It's not good for the child in her belly."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale again after finally regaining her composure.

Xu Yi said: "If you have a bad appetite, I will prescribe a medicinal diet for Mrs. Jiang later. You can ask the cook in the house to make cakes. Eat two pieces a day. It can strengthen the spleen and stomach, calm the mind and calm the mind.

" Madam is pregnant, can she take any medicinal food?" Before Madam Jiang could say anything, Mother Yao was unhappy.

She was not on duty yesterday, but she heard from other girls in the mansion that her husband invited a young doctor back yesterday to diagnose his wife's Ping'an pulse. Not only that, he also stayed in the guest room in the mansion.

Being treated like this by her husband couldn't help but make Yao's mother curious. But when she saw the man today, Yao's mother wondered whether her husband and his wife would be deceived by this man.

Mrs. Jiang's face turned cold and she said displeasedly: "Mother Yao, I trust Dr. Xu, don't say anything more."

Mother Yao opened her mouth to say something, but it was obvious that the lady's face was not good, so she could only swallow her words back. .

"Yes, ma'am."

Madam Jiang was a little tired. She waved her hand and asked Mama Yao to go down first and asked Qiao Zhu to stay.

After all, Mrs. Jiang was only eighteen or nineteen years old. In modern times, she was still a student who had just entered college.

She complained to Xu Yi depressedly: "I followed Lang Jun to take office in Yinping County, but none of the housemates in the house came with me. Now I want to hire someone, but I can't find the right one."

Xu Yi was a little surprised, but still He replied: "If Mrs. Jiang is short of manpower, you can ask the original roommate mother to come over."

"We can only wait until the child is born." Mrs. Jiang touched her belly and sighed softly.

After sighing, Lady Jiang smiled again and asked Xu Yi, "Do you still remember that brother of mine?"

Xu Yi said uncertainly, "Jiang Xiaoguan?"

"It's him." Lady Jiang showed her face and saw clearly When she came out, she had a close relationship with her brother. "He doesn't have an official position yet and can go around. He heard that I was about to give birth and said he wanted to come and see me."

Xu Yi smiled slightly, with envy in his eyes.

"He said he wanted to see you. Last time he was in such a hurry that he didn't have time to thank you properly. Thanks to you for coming this time, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to make up my mind." Mrs. Jiang said sincerely.

Ever since the incident was revealed, she had no trust in anyone in the house. But she couldn't believe what Xu Yi said.

She felt that this young doctor would not lie to her or harm her.

Xu Yi didn't know what she was thinking, so he said, "Ms. Jiang, you're welcome."

The two chatted for a few words about the fetus in the belly, and Xu Yi wanted to write her the recipe for Poria Cake.

He deleted some inappropriate medicinal materials, leaving only poria, yam and lotus seeds, as well as the glutinous rice and sugar used.

After finishing writing, Mrs. Jiang asked Qiao Zhu to take the recipe to the kitchen and give it to Mrs. Gou who was in charge of the spoon.

"Doctor Xu, are you married?" For some reason, Mrs. Jiang thought of this.

Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat and his eyes widened: "Ms. Jiang, why do you ask this?"

Mrs. Jiang covered her mouth and smiled and said, "It's nothing. I see you are only one or two years younger than me. If you are not married, I have some good candidates here."

Xu Yi: "...!"

This question is very scary.

He stood up hurriedly and saluted: "Mrs. Jiang, please don't make fun of me."

Mrs. Jiang coughed twice and stopped teasing him: "Don't talk about it. Mr. Lang has already told me that he wants to find a doctor. I can help you, but it’s hard to find a doctor. I’m afraid it will take a few days.”

Xu Yi frowned: “The sooner the better.”

It’s possible to give birth on the grass at any time this month, if the fetal position is not fixed by then. Correction can easily cause dystocia.

He didn't dare to say it outright in front of Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang also knew the reason, and she was also worried.

...

After returning from the east wing courtyard, Xu Yi was at Han Tao's place and heard that Manager Zhang was going out today, but he was actually going to see the doctor.

Xu Yi thought for a while and muttered to himself: "What if it's an experienced Wen Po?"

Han Tao didn't hear clearly and asked him suspiciously: "What Wen Po?"

"Your husband has already been found. Are there any midwives who are delivering babies?" Xu Yiyue said, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. At this time, don't underestimate those midwives.

The experienced Wen women have delivered hundreds, if not thousands, of babies. They have delivered many babies, and they are even more aware and understanding of the impact of fetal position on birth than ordinary doctors.

If you encounter a pregnant woman with an abnormal fetal position, some skilled women can directly correct the pregnancy and return it. Even now, some Wen Pos understand pharmacology, can treat pregnant women and prescribe medicines, and can also sell gynecological medicines.

In this era, Wenpo is not only a midwife, but has also formed a complete scale.

That is to say, the Imperial Medical Bureau has obstetrics and obstetrics professors, which not only train outstanding obstetrics and gynecology students, but also among the people, outstanding Wen Pos may be invited to work in the palace as obstetrics medical officers. [Note 1]

When Xu Yi thought of this, he could no longer hold back his thoughts.

He quickly pulled Han Tao and said: "Go and ask your husband for instructions. Ask him, I want to see Po Wen."

Han Tao was still out of state. Hearing that Xu Yi wanted to see Po Wen, he subconsciously replied: "Okay, I'll go find Lang Jun now."

"No, don't worry." Xu Yi suddenly stopped him, "Listen to me first."

Xu Yi analyzed his thoughts and asked him to relay them to him. Han County Magistrate.

After hearing this, Han Tao was also very excited: "The stable woman that Lang Jun hired for my wife is the best in Yinping County."

Xu Yi felt relieved: "Well, you can go."

This matter must be determined as soon as possible, and Han Tao did not hesitate. , and soon left the house and went to the Yamen.

The next day, Xu Yi met the Wen Po.

At the beginning, he did not directly bring up the issue of the pregnancy, but asked Wen Po other questions about delivering the baby.

This Wen woman is indeed the best in Yinping County. She can clearly answer all the precautions Xu Yi asked about the fertility door.

It can be seen that his old city is experienced and shrewd, and he is not afraid of Xu Yi at all.

But Xu Yi didn't know that Huang Wenpo was secretly surprised after hearing Xu Yi's many questions. How did this young doctor know so many things about fertility?

Huang Wenpo calmed down and asked, "Doctor Xu, do you have anything else to ask me?"

Xu Yi said, "Can you know how to have a baby?"

When the Wenpo heard that Xu Yi wanted to ask her if she knew how to have a baby, she asked. The fetus was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I know a little bit, but I don't have many correct fetal positions, so I don't dare to rush."

​​Xu Yi said: "It doesn't matter, I'll give the command and you do it."

There are differences between men and women between him and Mrs. Jiang . , can't end it in person, naturally the mother-in-law has to do this.

Po Wen was a little hesitant. Although she had delivered many children, this was the wife of the new county magistrate. If something went wrong, her life would be at risk.

In the room, Lady Jiang and Han Zhongpu both looked at Xu Yi: "Can it be done?"

Han Zhongpu was still observing Xu Yi, and Lady Jiang believed in Xu Yi.

Xu Yi nodded: "I think she's pretty good."

Lady Jiang and Han Zhongpu looked at each other and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Huang Wenpo thought for a while and wondered if they were too hasty. She said, "There are not many correct fetal positions. Madam Jiang, you should think about it again."

Madam Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Grandma Huang, you know that I am about to give birth. Now that the fetal position is not correct, I really can't find an obstetrician. " "Doctor, if you don't take action, there will be no one else."

Han Zhongpu looked serious: "Huang Wenpo, you can rest assured that you are pregnant, and you don't have to worry about anything."
