Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 12 Brown Sugar Honey Water

With Mrs. Liu's instructions, of course Mrs. Lu would not just take the prescription and make up the medicine and drink it for ten and a half months.

Early the next morning, Lu's sent someone to invite the doctor to show him the prescription. The doctor shook his head, "This is a prescription for nourishing the body."

Who would believe it, if you drink some medicine, you will be able to give birth to a son, and Wang Mama asked, "Will there be any problems if you drink this medicine?"

"No, they are mild medicines. If you are pregnant, you won't have any problems if you drink them, but they are only three-point poisonous. Madam is in good health now, so there is no need to supplement too much. It may not be good for the child."

The doctor continued, "Mrs. Lin's pulse condition has changed a bit, it seems that she is pregnant with more than one."

Lu was startled, and looked up at Mama Wang, "Doctor, my stomach is much bigger than when I was pregnant with a few children."

"If Mrs. Lin doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to come over and take a look. The old man has seen more than one pulse." The doctor put away his things, and the maid in the room sent him out.

Lu Shi was still a little unbelievable, so he touched his stomach, the child inside moved, and the place where her hand touched was gently pushed, and the feeling passed quickly.

Ms. Wang was still thinking about how to round up the prescription given by the old lady, "Miss, I'm afraid she won't believe me if I tell the old lady that this is a medicine for strengthening the body."

"Then it goes without saying." Mrs. Lu glanced at the yellowed paper, "Isn't she taking birth control pills? The old lady asked, and said that what she took was the prescription she gave her."

If you really tell your mother-in-law that this prescription is fake, it's useless, and I don't know how she will take it seriously.

When Lin Wenxi came back in the afternoon, Mrs. Lu talked about what the doctor said during the day. Lin Wenxi left the mansion immediately. After half an hour, the sky was getting dark. There's a lot of difference between being pregnant with one and having two.

Imperial Physician Wei was about to sit at the dinner table and asked him to pull him over. Mrs. Lu glared at Lin Wenxi, and said to Imperial Physician Wei who opened the medicine box, "Master Wei, stay here for dinner later, and don't be a guest. Let someone send a message to the Wei Mansion, don't make Mrs. Wei wait too long."

"Yeah, brother Wei Ming, take a good look at the doctor, I'll send someone to your house for an interrogation." Before Wei Ming, the imperial physician, could refuse, Lin Wenxi patted him on the shoulder and immediately ordered someone to answer. I don't know if he is lucky or unlucky to have such a friend

After taking the pulse carefully, Wei Ming said the same thing as the doctor, "It's a twin. The pulse was not obvious in the past few months, and it's possible that it hasn't been diagnosed. Madam Lin, you'd better take rest in your body now. Twins are prone to premature birth. Days It's not good for the child or you if it's too early."

Twins are extremely easy to give birth to. If the first child is twins, they probably won't laugh first, but worry first. Mrs. Lu has calmed down, and she has come over after giving birth to so many, so she won't be troubled at this juncture .

Wei Ming also explained carefully, "Don't sit for too long, walk around the yard more when you have free time, and avoid heat and dryness when eating, and the dryness is also heavy in autumn, it is mainly light, and it is not suitable to get angry."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ming comforted her with a smile, "Mrs. Lin, don't worry, everything is fine from the pulse."

The next day, everyone in Lin's family knew that Madam's baby was twins. In the evening, Mrs. Lu went to Qinghui Hospital to say hello. Shi said, "Mother, do you still remember what happened in the village next door? It was only found out in July and August that they were twins, and they were born prematurely in less than nine months. There are three mothers and children." Voice, "But none of them survived."

The room is so big, no matter how light Mrs. Lu heard it, but this time, Mrs. Liu really scolded Mrs. Chen, "What nonsense, are you cursing the second daughter-in-law? Our ancestors of the Lin family can bless her to give birth safely. Children, let alone two, three or four are fine!"

Lin Qingran on the side couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, speaking rudely.Looking up at the disheveled face of the eldest aunt, and turning to the grandmother, Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Lu with a comforting face, and held her hand, "Don't worry, I will be fine, it must be the two boys."

As she said that, the expression on Liu's face seemed to have seen the two grandsons through her stomach.

Liu's obsession with the transmission of incense has been deeply ingrained. Even with twin bodies, she feels that her daughter-in-law will be able to safely give birth to a child, and it will be a boy, so that her son can carry on the family line.

Mrs. Chen had no one to respond, so she was naturally at a loss for words. She said awkwardly that she would go to the cloth shop outside to look at things. After she went out, Mrs. Liu had a bunch of good instructions. I told Mrs. Lu to take the prescription on time, and don't be afraid of suffering.
After coming out of the Qinghui Courtyard and going back to the Nuan Pavilion, Lin Qingran was thinking about the twins. When she saw Mama Li coming in, she raised her head and asked her, "Nurse, is this pregnant with twins really worried?"

Mother Li put the cut fruit on the small table, "Don't worry, Miss, Madam will give birth to the young master safely."

Lin Qingran thought about what her aunt had said. In many places, many people would feel unlucky when they learned that they were twins.

Giving birth to a child is like going through the gates of hell, let alone two. With such backward medical technology in ancient times, many twins die in childbirth. Over time, people feel unlucky.

Lin Qingran couldn't help being a little worried about her mother's situation, what could she do.

She racked her brains and thought about it, and Lin Qingran only thought of a method that she saw on the Internet, which she clicked on the forum casually, saying that drinking brown sugar and honey water when she is about to give birth can help the childbirth and reduce the pain of pregnant women , replenish energy, but also soften the cervix, and it will be smoother when giving birth.

The people who commented on the post said that there are many things that are useful and many that are useless. Brown sugar promotes blood circulation, and you should follow the doctor's advice to drink it. Lin Qingran always thought that if she could let her mother drink a little when she gave birth.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingran had an idea.

Waiting for her father to come back at night, Lin Qingran pestered him to ask for medical books to read. When Lin Wenxi heard that her daughter suddenly became interested in studying medicine again, she looked at her and asked, "Why do you want to read medical books all of a sudden?"

Lin Qingran didn't hide it, and was very sincere, "Father, my aunt said that my mother was pregnant with two younger brothers, and it was dangerous. There must be something in the medical book about how to help my mother. Father, why don't you borrow a set from Uncle Wei for your daughter?" Come here, okay?"

What Lin Qingran said was full of innocence, she looked up at Lin Wenxi expectantly.

Lin Wenxi's face darkened when she heard what her aunt said, and then he patted her head and comforted her, "Your mother will be fine, don't think about it."

"I don't care!" Lin Qingran knew that he didn't let go so easily, so she just pretended, "Father, I just want to read medical books, or would you lend me to read that set of political history?"

Lin Wenxi knocked her on the head with a smile, "Can you understand, I don't know much, so I just want to read these." Lin Qingran hummed and stood next to him, "Father, your daughter is a little child prodigy Well, how can it be the same as other people’s, I can’t read, but I can also read.”

"You can read?" Lin Wenxi laughed even louder, "His Royal Highness won't even use this to read, you girl, you are really talking out loud."

Lin Qingran immediately changed the subject, "Father, you can borrow a set of medical books from Uncle Wei for me to read, okay?"

The words came back again, Lin Wenxi saw that she was so persistent, and said to her seriously, "Tell Dad, why do you want to read medical books." She was worrying unnecessarily, so she changed her reason, her eyes were full of seriousness, "Father, because my daughter is eager to learn."

After speaking, the study was quiet.

After a long time, Lin Wenxi's hearty laughter came from the room. He looked at the firm look in his daughter's eyes, and it was the first time he heard someone say that he read medical books because he was eager to learn.

Lin Qingran was about to cry, and looked at him pitifully, "Father, do you agree or not?" If it wasn't for the logical reason for Imperial Physician Wei to say honey and brown sugar water, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, otherwise, she would follow her Father and mother would only take her as a joke when she said it out of their mouths, and she would pester her a lot, maybe mother would think she was possessed by something evil.

Lin Wenxi loves his daughter, and he doesn't really think about Lin Qingran's complicated psychological world. How old is the child? Lin Wenxi naturally feels that his daughter who loves to read is purely interested in medical books, because the books in the study he allowed She has read all the books she read.

Reaching out and pinching the girl's soft cheeks, the smile on Lin Wenxi's face just now has not faded, "Okay, your Uncle Wei will come over tomorrow, Dad told him."

When Lin Qingran heard that Imperial Physician Wei would come tomorrow, she grabbed Lin Wenxi's arm, and she was about to hang herself on him, and said, "Then I will say it myself!"

The next day Lin Qingran was guarding in Luoying Courtyard. In the evening, Wei Ming and Lin Wenxi came together. When the pulse was taken, Lin Qingran followed to the outer room, watched Wei Ming prescribe the medicine, and sat on the chair next to him. He said, "Uncle Wei, I want to ask you to borrow medical books."

Wei Ming raised his head to look at her, and smiled gently, "Your father mentioned it before, why did you ask me to borrow medical books?"

"Because I want to read it." Lin Qingran took it for granted that there was no other reason, she just wanted to read it, and added at the end, "It's too profound for me to understand, Uncle Wei, please borrow me to write a special A book about the pharmacological effects of plants and animals, okay?"

The corners of Wei Ming's eyes twitched slightly, looking at the innocent girl opposite, Wei Ming maintained that gentle smile, "If you want to read medical books, I'll give you an introductory set."

Lin Qingran looked at him cutely and obediently, "What are the beginners writing about?"

"Getting started." Wei Ming thought for a while, "It's just to tell you how to identify herbs, and there are legends." This is the simplest, knowing herbs and knowing some of their basic medicinal properties.

Lin Qingran nodded and said emphatically, "No, I want herbs and animals!" Not only did she want animals and plants, but she also wanted a book on the efficacy of honey

A few days later, Wei Ming delivered the books in person, and he was very pleased. Lin Qingran brought everything she wanted, put several thick books on the table, and told her, "These are all rare books. Only this set."

"Don't worry, Uncle Wei, I will take good care of these books." After reading a few pages, Lin Qingran promised him very seriously.

Wei Ming saw her eagerness for knowledge, and continued straightforwardly, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

Wei Ming felt something was wrong after talking about it. How could he say such things to her? This is what he usually said to those boys in his family. They are the ones who followed him to study medicine seriously.
