Jinyi Spring

Chapter 36: Idiot

Feng Chuchen suddenly realized and laughed, "No wonder, it barked a few times and robbed us, but we didn't know what it meant, so it flew away."

There was a piece of meat in the last sacrifice, and it turned out the little guy was craving for it.

Everyone burst into joy again.

Perhaps Ah Xuan understood what Master Wen said, and flew to Master Wen's knees again, staring and screaming, "Robbery, robbery."

Master Wen laughed and said, "There is no meat here, but there are melon seeds."

I peeled two melon seeds and fed them to it.

Ah Xuan turned his head away in disdain and called out again, “Amitabha, Amitabha.”

Master Wen was surprised and asked, "You can actually chant the Buddha's name. Did you just go to the temple?"

Then he grabbed Ah Xuan and said, "I will go to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to return it to General Ming. I heard that General Ming will be returning to Xiqing in a few days."

He has always wanted to make friends with Ming Shanyue, and this is a good opportunity.

Ah Xuan wanted to fly away, but was held firmly in the hands of Master Wen.

It was angry, and it stretched and retracted its little head, cursing, "Stupid, stupid, stupid..."

It was not the Mandarin it spoke before, but had a strong southern accent.

"The little thing actually knows how to curse."

"Yeah, it's still the Sichuan accent."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Mrs. Wen was so happy that tears came out.

Master Wen smiled and said, "Ah Xuan has always remembered this phrase and has often cursed Master Shangguan in this way. Master Shangguan said that Ah Xuan was obtained by General Ming in Shu when he was chasing the traitor Fang Xin for thousands of miles and has always kept it with him."

Ah Xuan's cursing and footsteps gradually faded away.

Grandma smiled and said, "The war has been over for more than a year. Second Master Ming and First Master Ming are still going to guard the border?"

Madam Wen said, "I heard from the master that Old Lady Ming is getting old and Madam Ming is in poor health, and they both hope that they can return to Beijing to take up their posts.

"The emperor means that there is no candidate to replace the general for the time being. The eldest son Ming will be transferred back to the capital to take up his post next year. The second master Ming must stay in Xiqing for a few more years."

……

Madam Wen asked the wet nurse to bring the child into the house, pointed at Grandma Wen and said to Feng Chuchen, "The eldest daughter-in-law is due to give birth in the middle of the winter month. I would like to invite Miss Feng and Grandma Wang to live in our house a month in advance. Don't worry about the expenses."

Although her family was of good status, it was impossible for her to allow the highly skilled imperial physician and female physician to stay in her house for a month.

Miss Feng's skills are really good. Having her come to the mansion early to guard the place can ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby as much as possible.

As for Wang Wenpo, she served as an assistant to the midwife.

Feng Chuchen knew that if she asked her aunt about this, she would not agree, because she could not waste a month waiting and caring for a woman in labor, she wanted to deliver and save as many lives as possible.

Even if she was beaten, she would not obey.

This is my aunt's insistence.

Because of this persistence, she offended many powerful people, and even though she saved the mother and child in that family, she was still not welcomed.

Feng Chuchen was also unwilling to live in someone else's house waiting for the birth of her child, but she did not want to offend these powerful people, and she was not as busy as her aunt.

She hesitated and said, "My brother has asthma and needs an injection every three days. I am worried about leaving him alone at home. Can I let Aunt Wang stay here and I will come every three days?"

Madam Wen said, "Then bring your brother here with you, and we'll build a small courtyard for you to live in."

Having said that, Feng Chuchen had no choice but to agree.

Then he said, "Let me check Grandma's pulse."

Since I want to be her health care doctor, I need to understand her physical condition.

Fourth Miss Wen exchanged seats with Grandma Wen.

After taking the pulse, Feng Chuchen said, "Grandma Wen's fetal movements are frequent..." She also knew that Grandma Wen was pregnant with a girl this time.

Feng Chuchen knew how to tell the difference between a man and a woman by feeling the pulse in his previous life, and so did his aunt. His aunt only told Aunt Wang and the original owner, and she also said that she would teach the original owner when she had learned pulse diagnosis to a certain level.

This skill must not be leaked, or it will bring disaster.

Grandma Wen looked worried. "The imperial physician also said that the fetus is moving frequently and I'm afraid the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck..."

That's why I wanted to invite Feng Chuchen to live in my house in advance.

Feng Chuchen said, "Frequent fetal movements do not necessarily mean that the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck. Grandma Wen should try to rest on her left side in the future, exercise moderately, and avoid strenuous exercise.

"I will teach you a set of exercises that may not only correct the umbilical cord around the neck, but also correct the fetal position. Don't be too nervous, and keep a cheerful mood. I will come to the mansion again in ten days to check Grandma Wen's pulse."

At that time, a simple stethoscope was made that could monitor fetal heart sounds.

Grandma Wen asked hurriedly, "Okay, how do we exercise?"

Feng Chuchen can even perform the Yin Shen needle, and she trusts Feng Chuchen absolutely.

Feng Chuchen invited Grandma Wen and a maid to the south room and taught her and the maid how to do it.

Those ugly movements were only done by the maids, and Grandma Wen watched. When no one was around, Grandma Wen would do them herself in the room.

The girl blushed but still did as she was told.

After they learned it, Feng Chuchen was invited into the north room to check Second Grandma Wen's pulse, who was still sleeping soundly.

Although the delivery took two days and two nights, it did not affect her future fertility. On the one hand, it was due to the midwife's experience, and on the other hand, it was due to her good physical fitness.

An imperial physician helped her recuperate. Feng Chuchen did not prescribe any medicine, but just handed a box of ointment to the old woman beside her.

Sophora flavescens repair ointment is an ointment that Feng Chuchen knew how to make in his previous life, used to repair the birth canal. Due to the different craftsmanship, it is light yellow, beautiful, and has a little fragrance.

This kind of ointment also existed in this era. It was dark brown in color and had a strong medicinal smell.

The young ladies from wealthy families would definitely prefer this kind of ointment.

"This is Sophora flavescens repair ointment, which works wonders on wounds in the lower body."

The box was old, and it was obvious that it had been used to store cosmetics. The woman didn't think much of it, but took it reluctantly.

Refusing the Wen family's carriage, Feng Chuchen and his companion hired a donkey cart at the intersection.

They didn't go home directly, but took a detour to Beifu Street to take a look.

Mr. Wen came to Mingfu Shayuan, and Shangguan Ruyu was also there.

Ming Shanyue took Ah Xuan and gave it a slap on the head, cursing, "You've been playing off-road and haven't returned home for six days."

Put it in a big cage, lock the small door, and give the key to the personal soldier Guo Hei.

"Don't let it go out to play before we return to Xiqing."

Guo Hei put the key in his arms and said, "Yes."

Ah Xuan was furious, jumping up and down in the cage, his mouth still busy, "Xiao Yueyue, you idiot, Xiao Yueyue, you idiot..."

Guo Hei hurriedly walked out with the birdcage.

Shangguan Ruyu laughed and said, "Ah Xuan is really a smart bird. After I taught him 'Xiao Yueyue' a few times, he remembered it and even knew that Xiao Yueyue was a fool. Haha..."

Ming Shanyue ignored him and said to Master Wen, "Thank you, General Wen. I am about to go to the palace to see the emperor. I will treat you to a drink some other day."

Master Wen didn't like Shangguan Ruyu's words. How could a grown man call another grown man that, especially in front of his future brother-in-law?

It's not good to joke around.
