After confirming that the maid was looking for her, she stopped asking questions, picked up her medicine box and followed the maid.
Among the doctors in Jishitang, an old doctor recognized the family the maid came from and immediately said, "Doctor Shen, I will go with you."
Shen Huaixu took a look and saw that it was Doctor Yue, who usually didn't like to talk to her.
When she first came to Jishiditang, her identity as a county lady was known to everyone. Some people tried to curry favor with her while others looked down on her. Regardless of whether they looked up to her or not, regardless of her identity or medical skills, everyone had to be polite to her in public, and that was enough.
After spending some time together, she had become familiar with most of the doctors at Jishiditang, but Old Doctor Yue was the only one she couldn't get to know well. It was unknown what his purpose was in stepping forward at this time.
The maid didn't want to waste time, so she took a closer look and saw that it was Doctor Yue. She immediately said, "It would be great if Doctor Yue could come along."
On the way, the maid introduced herself, "My name is Qiulian, and my young lady is the wife of the second house of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion. Because the wives of the marquis's family are very taboo about childbirth, I had no choice but to ask Doctor Shen for help. My lady is weak, and she was very happy to be pregnant this time. She took great care of her, but she never expected that something would go wrong when she was about to give birth..."
The maid couldn't help but shed tears, her face full of heartache and anxiety.
There was only one Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion in the entire capital, and that was Shangguan Ruoyan's family. However, Shen Huaixu didn't bother to dwell on these things.
She asked, "Have you hired a midwife?"
"Have you asked Mrs. Zhao from the west of the city?" Old Doctor Yue also asked, and their voices happened to overlap.
The two looked at each other, and then looked at Qiulian at the same time.
"We hired midwife Li. Midwife Zhao was hired by someone else. Midwife Li said my wife was weak and the baby was in an abnormal position..."
Qiulian briefly explained the situation of the second young lady. Shen Huaixu and Doctor Yue had a rough idea of what was going on, and their faces were equally serious.
Shen Huaixu's actual experience in delivering children can be said to be zero. It may be that in Futuan's era, there was no need for the mother to bear life, so the experiments on fertility could not be fully presented by the tool man.
The most famous gynecologist in the capital is in their Jishiditang. His surname is Zhang, and he is an old doctor over 50 years old. Anyone who has difficulty in childbirth comes to him. If he is gone, there are other experienced doctors who can replace him.
In ancient times, bearing children and carrying on the family line was a matter of great importance. Regardless of her experience or qualifications, it was simply not her turn to do such a thing. It was somewhat strange that Qiulian specifically asked for her.
Thinking of this, Shen Huaixu also asked.
"This..." Qiulian looked hesitant, as if she didn't know whether to say something or not.
As we were hesitating, the carriage arrived at the gate of Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Qiulian got out of the carriage first, leading the way, while Shen Huaixu and Old Doctor Yue fell behind her. Old Doctor Yue whispered a warning, "The women in the Marquis' Mansion are difficult to deal with. They have often beaten out doctors who came to treat the female relatives in the family. This is known to everyone in the capital."
Shen Huaixu suddenly realized that the wife of the Zhenyuan Marquis was a bit of a scoundrel. You know, doctors would always use a handkerchief when taking the pulse of a female relative. How else could he avoid suspicion?
She glanced at Doctor Yue sympathetically and said, "Doctor Yue, you'll be outside and I'll be inside. If I'm unsure about something, I can ask you for advice."
Doctor Yue glanced at her sideways and said nothing.
As they approached a courtyard, they heard a quarrel in the distance. Qiulian recognized the voice of Madam Hou from afar, so she took a few quick steps and entered the courtyard.
Madam Hou was arguing with her mother, who was red in the face and neck, when she saw Qiulian come in and the old doctor behind her, her eyes lit up and she didn't block the door anymore. She stepped forward and shouted, "Old doctor, old doctor, please go see our wife!"
"Madame Hou!" My mother, who had a black mole between her eyebrows, immediately spoke up to stop her. "The old lady said that men and women shouldn't touch each other. How can a man from outside enter the inner chamber? Madame Hou, are you trying to disobey the old lady's order? Hurry and let the midwife in!"
"Midwife Li is said to be very dangerous. Which unknown midwife you hired could be more powerful than Midwife Li?"
A strange look flashed across the mother's eyes. "Madam, you are doing this for the good of the Madam. What is your intention in stopping us, Madam Hou?"
"What are your intentions? Did you think I didn't see what the midwife was holding in her arms?"
Chen Huaixu listened to the lady's hoarse and painful moans inside, and then looked at the two people in front of him who were still arguing with each other, and was extremely speechless.
As she walked quickly towards the door, she asked, "Men outside the family can't come in, but a little girl like me can come in, right?"
The maid behind my mother was about to step forward to stop her, but was blocked by Qiulian. She shouted nervously, "This is Doctor Shen, the Princess of Mingyi, personally appointed by His Majesty. Who dares to stop her?"
This sentence really worked. The old women looked at each other and dared not come forward.
Before pushing open the door, Chen Huaixu turned his head and glanced at Qiulian. No wonder she was hesitant just now. It turned out that she could be used to intimidate others. This girl was quite interesting.
Entering the room smoothly, a strong smell of blood hit him. Shen Huaixu glanced at the sweaty Li Wenpo, walked to the bed, and saw that the second young lady seemed to be still conscious, but her face was as pale as paper, with cold sweat on her face, and she kept crying.
"How do you feel now, ma'am?"
Shu Yun grabbed Shen Huaixu's hand that was feeling her pulse, and held it tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. Her bloodless lips moved slightly, "I have no strength left. Will I be unable to give birth to this child? Am I going to die?"
Shen Huaixu held her hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, I have medicine. If you listen to the midwife, you will definitely be able to give birth."
She had never seen a woman give birth in ancient times, and seeing that the Second Young Master's wife was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she couldn't help but feel a little upset. In modern times, she would only be in high school.
As she said this, she lifted the quilt and took a look.
Li, the midwife who was standing nearby, saw Shen Huaixu's confident tone and didn't know where he came from. But seeing Shen Huaixu with a medicine box, she stepped forward, pulled Shen Huaixu aside and whispered a reminder: "The baby's position is not right, it's sideways, and it can't be born. We can turn the baby over, but this lady is afraid of pain. If I move her belly a little, she feels so much pain that she seems to be fainting. What should we do?"
Shen Huaixu took out the medicine bottle from the medicine box and said, "Leave it to me. Drink some water first. I'll call you when I'm ready."
She walked to the bed and pulled the curtain, blocking the midwife's view.
Li Wenpo was puzzled. Not to mention whether the young woman would be able to change the fetal position, she was also not allowed to watch the birth. Or was she afraid that she would learn from others?
She looked at the curtain again and again, and then she thought that if anything happened, it would not be her fault.
Li Wenpo gradually calmed down and took a sip of the cold tea.
Inside the tent, Shen Huaixu poured the pills from the bottle into the Second Young Master's wife's mouth, then lifted the quilt and began to give her acupuncture in the abdomen.
"Do you have any ginseng slices?"
"Bring me a basin of hot water."
······
Midwife Li, who had just had a sip of tea, was run around by Shen Huaixu's instructions and was even busier than when she just gave birth.
