Jinyi Spring

Chapter 43 Asking for something

The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was October 12th in a blink of an eye.

At the beginning of the Si hour, a carriage from the Wuyi Marquis's mansion came to pick people up.

Feng Chuchen, Feng Buji and Aunt Wang got in the car, leaving Pinellia and Peony to look after the house.

Datou was extremely reluctant to leave, so he squatted in front of the unfinished archway. He ran into the mountains only when he could no longer see his master.

When I arrived at the residence of Marquis Wu Yi at the beginning of the day, I was taken directly to a secluded courtyard by a maid.

There were only three rooms in the courtyard. Feng Chuchen's sister and brother each had one room, and Aunt Wang slept on the floor in the living room.

For lunch, there were four dishes and a soup, which were very exquisite vegetarian dishes.

After dinner, they were taken to Grandma Wen’s yard by the maid.

Wen Ying is here too.

Grandma Wen was in a very good mood today. She waved and smiled, "This is Brother Feng. He's really handsome. He was said to have asthma, but he looks fine."

He also gave Feng Buji two pens and two bottles of ink as a gift.

Feng Buji bowed and said, "Grandma, I had a very serious asthma problem before, and it was my sister and Doctor Fang who cured me."

Grandma Wen looked at Feng Chuchen in surprise, "You can also treat asthma?"

Feng Chuchen smiled and said, "I not only learned gynecology and pediatrics, but also learned the diagnosis and treatment of other diseases..."

She took out six boxes of Kushen Repair Cream and explained, "In the future, they will be burned in porcelain bottles. These boxes are old boxes that have been used and boiled in the pot."

He took out two more dolls and gave them to Wen Ying.

On the big goose yellow ball, there are two small black round eyes, a little red beak, a small comb on the head, and two small paws underneath.

This was drawn by Feng Chuchen and made by Aunt Wang.

Wen Ying liked it so much that she giggled and asked, "Is this a chick? It looks like a chick but not like one. So cute."

Feng Buji looked at her in surprise, "Young lady is really smart. She knows that this doll is a baby chicken. Many people can't tell that." She said proudly, "This was drawn by my sister. It is unique."

The little appearance made Grandma Wen very amused.

After a few jokes, they asked Feng Buji and Wen Ying to eat fruit in the living room while they went to the east room.

Grandma Wen smiled and said, "I asked the imperial physician to check my pulse yesterday, and he said that the fetal movements and contractions have returned to normal. Please listen to the fetal heart rate for me."

She also became more convinced of Feng Chuchen.

Feng Chuchen checked and said with a smile, "Congratulations, grandma. The fetal heart rate, uterine contractions, and fetal movements are all normal. No more exercises are needed, just walk around properly."

A maid brought a purse, and Grandma Wen smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Feng."

Nanny Li tried again, "I heard that Doctor Feng can tell the gender of a boy or girl..."

Feng Chuchen was very surprised, "No way, I've never heard my aunt talk about it."

A look of disappointment flashed across Grandma Wen's face.

If this baby is not a son, my mother-in-law will probably ask those two vixens to stop taking the contraceptive soup.

After Feng Chuchen and others left, Grandma Wen took Wen Ying to the main courtyard.

In the hall, only Madam Wen and Fourth Miss Wen were whispering to each other.

Mrs. Wen asked, "What did Miss Feng say?"

Grandma Wen smiled and repeated Feng Chuchen's words, and then said, "Mother-in-law, I think Miss Feng is a person with real skills. Not only is she good at gynecology and pediatrics, she also has a way of treating other diseases. Her brother had severe asthma before, but he is much better now."

Madam Wen said, "So, apart from delivering babies, Miss Feng's other medical skills are no worse than those of Doctor Feng. Let's talk about it after you give birth to the child. I hope she is not only good at medicine, but also knows how to behave..."

Fourth Miss Wen blushed and lowered her head.

Back in the courtyard, Feng Chuchen opened his purse, which contained twenty-three taels of silver.

Three taels is the money to buy the Sophora flavescens repair ointment, and twenty taels is the thank you fee.

After dinner, Feng Chuchen took Feng Buji for a walk in the small courtyard to help digest the food.

Madam Wen's maid Liu came with two servants, carrying a box.

Madam Liu smiled and said, "Our Madam was very happy to hear that the eldest grandmother is in much better health. She said that Miss Feng is indeed the descendant of Doctor Feng and has great medical skills. This is a reward from our Madam."

Feng Chuchen thanked her, and Aunt Wang gave him three purses filled with silver ingots. After they left, Feng Chuchen opened the box.

Inside was a set of blue and white porcelain bowls and plates, a blue and white porcelain pen holder, a silver necklace for a child, two pieces of blue satin and two pieces of rose-red satin.

It was a total of fifty or sixty taels of silver.

The child is not born yet, so the gift seems to be too much and too early.

And the gifts were very thoughtful, with some for her and some for her brother.

Feng Chuchen guessed that the Wen family must have something else to ask for, and it was not a small request.

The only thing I could ask her for was medical treatment. If she didn't tell me, it might be some hidden illness that I didn't want to talk about.

The three of them lived quietly in this small courtyard. They stayed indoors in the morning and went to check on Grandma Wen in the afternoon.

I can meet Miss Wen Si there almost every time.

Miss Wen Si's maiden name is Wen Shu. She is very friendly to Feng Chuchen and Feng Buji, and speaks in a sweet and soft voice.

Feng Buji said privately more than once, "Fourth Miss Wen is pretty and speaks well. Well, she is only slightly inferior to my sister."

A few days later, the eldest daughter-in-law of Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Justice had a difficult delivery.

Fearing that there might be an accident after the birth of the child, he first sent someone to Baima Village to invite Feng Chuchen. Hearing that Feng Chuchen was in Wuyibo's mansion, he came here to invite him.

The old woman gave five taels of silver as payment for the medical consultation.

Feng Chuchen is not a doctor now, so the host can decide how much to pay for her to see the patient.

Feng Chuchen and Aunt Wang took the things to the Jiang Mansion.

There were seven or eight people standing in the yard, including two imperial doctors.

The old woman pointed to a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes and said, "This is my wife."

Feng Chuchen knelt down and said, "I meet Madam Jiang."

Mrs. Jiang had high cheekbones and thin lips. She looked at Feng Chuchen critically and distantly.

"You are so young, how can you use Yin Shen needles?"

Feng Chuchen said, "It was only used once in the Wuyi Marquis's mansion."

"Oh, go to the delivery room and wait."

Entering the delivery room, the woman in labor was grabbing the rope in pain. Several female doctors were busy around her. A woman in clean clothes stood farther away from them, giving her some advice from time to time.

The old woman whispered, "That is the female doctor Zhou from the palace."

It was the first time that Feng Chuchen saw the legendary female doctor Zhou.

She was nearly fifty years old, short and fat, and held the seventh rank in the government, the highest-ranking female doctor. She was good at treating gynecological diseases such as metrorrhagia and puerperal fever.

Doctor Feng had the same reputation as her when she was alive, and her reputation was much higher than hers after her death.

She is here mainly to treat women in labor.

She glanced at Feng Chuchen for a few times and said with a smile, "Not bad, you have inherited the true teachings of Doctor Feng at such a young age."

She has a soft voice and a sweet smile. She doesn't sound like an expert, but more like the woman next door.

Feng Chuchen smiled and said, "Dr. Zhou, you are too kind."

When the baby was finally born at night, the mother suffered heavy bleeding and the baby suffocated.

Doctor Zhou immediately rescued the woman in labor.

Feng Chuchen came to the baby.

The baby was very fat, weighing at least 15 pounds, but his body was blue, his eyes were closed, and the right side of his head was slightly sunken than the left.

already dead.

The child died of lack of oxygen and his brain was underdeveloped. Even if he hadn't died immediately after birth, he wouldn't have survived.
