Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 15

"I was born prematurely, my daughter-in-law was born prematurely."

As soon as the old mother called the neighbors nearby, they all rushed to help.

"It's dark, it's still raining, where can I find a doctor, and Mrs. Wen won't be able to come in a while."

A carriage stopped in front of the hut, and a woman with a round face got out of the carriage, accompanied by two servant girls.

One of the maids asked: ""Is it your family who invited our master to deliver the baby?" "

The crippled man shouted, "My wife was born prematurely."

The servant girl asked again: "Is your family name Liu?"

The old mother rushed out and dragged the woman to the delivery room: "Don't ask, my lord. My daughter-in-law was born prematurely and her fetal position is not right. Please help me."

"Is your family's surname Liu? Our master is not just anyone..."

The maid is still confirming whether the family's surname is Liu.

The round-faced lady said: "Go and see the parturient first.

A servant girl held an umbrella for Mrs. Round Face, and the other went back to the carriage to get the medicine box.

As soon as the medicine box was opened, the tools inside were fully prepared, including brand-new scissors, clean cotton cloth, ginseng slices, and flower petals to help women give birth.

The round-faced woman's voice was very soft: "This fetal position is wrong."

The old woman cried anxiously: "What should I do, nobleman, no matter what, save my daughter-in-law first. My family is poor, and my daughter-in-law did not enjoy the blessings when she came to my house. She suffered too much."

The lame man also shouted outside the door: "My lord, if you can only keep one big and one small, I only want a daughter-in-law."

The round-faced woman couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"The fetal position is not difficult."

The old mother hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your help."

"You two come over and watch."

Two women dressed as maids stepped forward upon hearing the sound.

The round-faced woman opened her hands, and she turned her hands on the mother's belly again and again, and the fetal position immediately returned to normal.

"Did you see clearly?"

The two women replied: "See clearly."

The old lady didn't see it clearly, and neither did the woman who came to help from the same village. This woman with a round face is probably not an ordinary person.

"Everyone, please avoid, the three of us are enough here."

The old mother silently exited the room, and before leaving, she did not forget to ask: "Bao Da, remember, Bao Da."

The puerpera was lying on the bed with a purse hanging beside the bed, and she was still holding one in her hand.

The mother and the head of the family treated her with sincerity, and she must repay her with sincerity.

The round-faced woman gave her another cup of ginseng tea and fed her two pills.

The door of the delivery room was tightly closed, and the old mother asked her lame son to boil water, while she personally brought a bench for the boy who led the horse to sit on, and fed a lot of grass to the horse pulling the cart.

Then I went back outside the delivery room and waited anxiously.

At the same time, a wealthy family named Liu on the East Street was also busy giving birth. The Liu family invited not only one pregnant woman, but four in total. I heard that one of them lost her way and did not come. Surrounding the umbilical cord, the situation is dangerous, the Liu family chose to keep the young, and all the Wen women who knew about it were silenced.

"Ugh."

The cry of the baby sounded, and the cripple rushed out of the kitchen on crutches.

The round-faced woman said: "Are you coming to see the child?"

He was so angry that he threw away his crutches and roared, "I said, I only want my wife."

The round-faced woman held the child and did not answer.

The lame man began to cry, and the baby also cried, and the old mother came out of the delivery room and shouted, "Mother and child are safe."

Hearing this, the cripple slowly slid down with his back straight against the wall, and only then remembered to kowtow to the round-faced woman to confess his sins.

The old nanny brought hot water and washed the round-faced woman's hands.

"When I was buying a purse, the gods said it would keep my daughter-in-law safe, and it really came true. I knew I shouldn't have bought two, but four or five."

The round-faced woman said: "Purse, what purse?"

"The purse that the gods opened up."

The old nanny held the silver bill in one hand and the purse in the other, the round-faced woman took neither the money nor the purse.

Turning around and leaving, at this time someone came on horseback from outside, the man was covered in rain, took off the bamboo hat and attached it to the round-faced woman's ear, talking.

After hearing this, the round-faced woman kept changing the expression on her face, from surprise to shock, and then from shock to calm. Then, she turned around and took the purse from the old mother's hand.

The old mother moved the round-faced woman to go out, "I beg you to give my grandson a name."

"For the rest of my life, he was born on a rainy night, let's call him Yusheng."

"Thank you, noble, if you dare to ask your name in Xianxiang, my family will always remember your great kindness."

"It's easy to do, don't worry about it."

The round-faced woman drove away, and the old mammy saw that she was wearing a ring with a flying eagle on her hand.

Night is like a black cloth covering people's eyes. It sticks firmly to the eyes. No matter how you open or turn your eyes, it is futile. If you don't light the lantern, you will be in endless darkness.

The carriage swayed, and the round-faced woman felt that she was a fish locked in a black box. At this moment, the box was floating on the surface of the dark sea, and her heart sank as the sea floated up and down.

"call."

The maid blew on the fire pocket.

The black cloth in front of her eyes seemed to have been scalded with a red hole, and the round-faced woman stretched out her hand and scratched in front of her eyes indiscriminately, and immediately regained consciousness.

The servant girl lit the lantern and took a closer look. The round-faced woman's face was covered with sweat.

"The affairs of the Liu family are over, so master doesn't need to worry about it."

The round-faced woman's chest was throbbing, she lightly clenched the purse in her hand, and went out of the city in a carriage.

On nights when it just rained, the daytime always comes late, the green hills in the distance are covered with light clouds, and the clouds in the sky are covered with morning glow.

Chu Chu bounced back to the Eight Immortals table with two food boxes in hand, and the table was full of fish.

The fish is freshly caught in the nearby Green Lake, and the meat is chicken raised by nearby farmers.

Chu Chu put away the bowls and chopsticks, and yelled: "Miss, Sister Tongtao, it's time for breakfast."

Gu Yinwei rinsed her mouth with willow branches dipped in salt, then washed her face with rose flower water, applied osmanthus hair oil to her hair with almonds, and gently combed her hair with a wooden comb made of rhino horn.

After washing up, Gu Yinwei sat down on the Eight Immortals table.

"Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, Leek Egg Dumplings, Eight-treasure Porridge, Scallion Pancakes, Boiled Fish Fillets, Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms."

"There are so many dishes, can three people finish it?"

"Miss, this is your dish, and my sister's and my sister's are here."

Chu Chu set up another small table, spread a blue cloth on the table, and then took out the food from the food box and put it on the table.

Four soft white steamed buns, two bowls of rice porridge, two dishes of pickles, a pot of fried crispy pork, a plate of stir-fried anchovies, and a pile of mashed garlic and cucumbers.

Bian Tao walked in from the door and said with emotion: "Chuchu, the money you made recently is a bit too much."

"Thanks to the lady who came up with a gimmick to congratulate me, I have already saved a lot of money."

She stretched out her hands and gestured into a ball, which looked like Tai Chi, which made everyone laugh.

Tong Tao smiled and said, "Chuchu is a rich woman, one meal is richer than the previous ten meals, so how can I finish all the meals?"

Chu Chu crazily stuffed the almonds with meat, "Open your stomach and eat."

The empty bowl in the flat peach bowl is already full, and Chuchu is still picking up vegetables for her, "I can't finish it even if my belly is bursting."

Gu Yinwei said: "How about calling Third Sister and Ah Qing?"
