Chapter 254 Cesarean Section
Lu Qingqing was lost in thought at home.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang also wanted to follow Ji Ruyan.
Mu Daye, too, was probably persuaded by Gu Chengzhou to go with them.
That's great. They're all skilled men who, under a wise ruler, are building their careers together.
I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm feeling listless today.
Lu Qingqing yawned several times in a row.
Qiaoxiu was outside tidying up the bamboo basket she had brought back when she found something among the herbs.
"Sister, why is there a hairpin in here?"
"It looks pretty good."
"It's a vibrant, emerald green."
Qiaoxiu ran into the house, gesturing with her head.
Lu Qingqing took the things from her hands.
The hairpin was wrapped in a snow-white handkerchief. To be precise, it was a silver hairpin, but the top was inlaid with a piece of jade, carved into a flower bud, which looked like a magnolia.
The leaves feature a hollowed-out design, with silver-white paired with emerald green, creating an elegant and refined look.
Not jarring, not vulgar.
It's a style that can be worn everyday.
Lu Qingqing always wore a silver hairpin, and this one must have been chosen to suit her taste.
Two small characters are engraved at the end of the hairpin.
Ankang.
It must have been Ji Ruyan who put it in the basket after she fell asleep yesterday.
"Sister, this hairpin..."
"Oh, I ordered it. I just picked it up and forgot about it after throwing it in the basket."
Qiaoxiu scratched her head and went out.
The bamboo basket was empty the day before yesterday. Sister Qingqing went to the mountains yesterday. When did she go to the city?
Not only did they bring back a bunch of fruits they'd never seen before, but they also brought back hairpins!
Lu Qingqing didn't care what Qiaoxiu thought.
She picked up the hairpin and stuck it in her hair in front of the mirror.
very beautiful.
Look how good her taste is! The first man she fell in love with was the most handsome and outstanding man in the world.
Having witnessed this, what man will ever catch my eye again?
That's good. If this was her tribulation in love, does this mean she's overcome it?
Once she gets through this ordeal, no one will ever catch her eye again.
She can now focus on her own path.
Lu Qingqing took off her hairpin, wrapped it in the same handkerchief, and took out the small jewelry box that her father had made for her but had never used before, and put it inside.
This is the first piece of jewelry inside that has been treasured.
...
A few days later, the amount of medicinal herbs sent from the villages to the workshop gradually decreased.
The workshop has a large pile of medicinal herbs drying in the sun; we don't need to collect them for now.
I've also stored a lot of ground medicine powder.
Making it into a drug is the most important and confidential step.
Originally, it was Lu Yun and Sixi who were doing it.
Currently, Sixi and Old Man Lu are doing it, and Yu Jun and Guo Tian also help out when they are not busy.
We're clearly too busy right now.
Lu Qingqing checked Lu Yun's notebook and observed the list of available people for several days.
Then they brought up Xiao Huan and her friend Li Hua.
After Xiao Zhang left, she hired Liu Erzhu and Shanzi as security guards.
After several busy days at the workshop, Ji Ruyan arranged for the medicine delivery person to return and settle a huge sum of money.
Lu Qingqing calculated that the profit was as much as 30,000 taels.
At that time, Ji Ruyan said that the government was helping out of its own free will, but he only allowed Lu Qingqing to lead everyone to plant medicinal herbs and make medicines to help Ming'an County overcome the famine.
But this is clearly a collaborative task between the two parties.
Even if Lu Qingqing is good at making pharmaceuticals, it's all for nothing if she can't sell them.
Therefore, if we want a long-term partnership, we should formalize our collaboration.
Lu Qingqing went to the yamen and talked with Magistrate Xu. She signed a contract in Mo Lang's name.
The profits were split 50/50. After Lu Qingqing paid 600 taels of commercial tax, she gave him another 15,000 taels.
Magistrate Xu was racking his brains over the tax collection issue. In many places, he still couldn't collect the taxes. Using violence would only drive people to their deaths.
The money Lu Qingqing sent really solved a big problem.
Moreover, this year, various regions have been clearing land from mountains and forests to plant medicinal herbs, so next year the harvest of medicinal herbs will only be greater, and more medicines will be produced!
When the people have plenty in their hands, the county treasury will also be full.
Ming'an County has made the right choice by taking this path!
Magistrate Xu, with a flourish of his pen, presented a plaque that read "Min'an Pharmacy".
They arrived at Liuyun Village with great fanfare, accompanied by gongs and drums.
At the same time, Lu Qingqing's medical license was also delivered!
Double happiness!
Liu Lizheng then had firecrackers set off, and they kept going on and on.
Many people from other villages came to see the spectacle.
I was so envious I almost drooled.
Not only does Liuyun Village have profitable workshops, but it also produced a real female doctor!
The villagers all thought that once Lu Qingqing had her medical license, she would definitely move to the town or open a clinic in the city.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingqing had a plaque custom-made and hung it directly on her door frame.
Datong Medical Clinic.
Side note:
Physicians throughout the world include both men and women.
Let us all learn the art of medicine together.
This is called Great Harmony.
On behalf of the villagers, Liu Lizheng asked, "Qingqing, are you really going to open a clinic in our village?"
Although we'd love for you to stay in the village, nothing beats the city with its crowds and thriving businesses.
Lu Qingqing smiled: "How do you all know that this place won't become a second city in the future, and that Liuyun Village won't become a city center where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold?"
The saying goes, "One person can influence an entire village."
A single medical clinic can attract thousands of patients.
Liuyun Village is destined to be more than just an unknown little mountain village.
"Huh? Liuyun Village has become the city center?"
Is this even possible?
The villagers were puzzled, but when they saw Lu Qingqing's smiling face and her bright, sparkling eyes, they were struck by her boundless energy and strength.
Never mind, at least their village now has a clinic!
It's so prestigious that it's a cut above other villages!
Firecrackers exploded, and the crowd cheered.
A shout, growing louder as it approached, finally reached us.
"Master—Master—"
"Your disciple begs you to save this person—"
Midwife Hong squeezed in with all her might, her hair getting all disheveled.
Lu Qingqing quickly asked them to stop setting off the firecrackers.
"Tell me what happened?"
“The concubine of the wealthy Li family in town can’t give birth. The baby is too big. My senior sister Li and I have tried everything. It’s been three days already. If it doesn’t work, we’ll lose both the baby and the child!”
The Li family wanted to save their child and asked me to cut the baby out. I said I'd wait a bit and have Sister Li watch over the baby while I came to fetch you.
Midwife Hong spoke with exceptional respect and quickly explained the matter clearly.
The villagers watched in amazement and immense pride as the elderly apprentice and the young master appeared together.
Dr. Qingqing is amazing!
Lu Qingqing had already turned around and gone home, carrying her medicine box, along with Qiaoxiu, and got into the midwife Hong's carriage.
Only Old Man Lu and Feng Xiaowan, beaming with joy, threw auspicious fruits to the villagers and children, making it even more lively than a wedding.
The two of them would occasionally look up at the plaque.
Datong Medical Clinic.
That sounds really good.
Lu Feng and Lu Yun were unaware that their family had already become a renowned medical family!
...
Lu Qingqing asked Hong the midwife some more details in the car.
I've already decided in my heart that there's really no other way but to perform a cesarean section.
"Did they make them cut open the abdomen to remove the child?"
“Yes, they don’t treat that concubine like a human being at all. That girl is only eighteen! Cutting open her belly to remove the child, she’s definitely going to die!” Midwife Hong said angrily.
Then, her eyes widened in shock: "Master..."
"Yes, there was really no other way but to perform a cesarean section to remove the baby."
The midwife, Hong, suddenly lost her strength, and her anxious expression turned blank.
"Another one died..."
“When I said I would have to have a cesarean section, I didn’t say that the person would definitely die. There might be a glimmer of hope, but I couldn’t guarantee it,” Lu Qingqing said.
Hong, the midwife, seemed not to understand and looked at Lu Qingqing with a blank expression.
"In short, just do as the host says when you get there."
Lu Qingqing didn't explain further.
She had previously taught these midwives professional delivery knowledge, but a cesarean section is a surgical procedure that should be performed by a professional medical practitioner.
She wouldn't dare to teach without solid medical knowledge.
That wouldn't be saving people, it would be harming them.
