Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 123 Courage and Luck

Mai Xiang knew that this man should be Uladomin's husband, he seemed to be the eldest son of Prince Li's mansion, he had been named Baylor long ago, as for his name, Mai Xiang didn't know yet.

"You were the one who made trouble inside? Who are you? Who brought you in?" The man was surprised and annoyed when he saw Mai Xiang coming out.

He had never heard of a ten-year-old girl who dared to enter the delivery room and actually wanted to deliver a baby. Isn't this just playing with his blood?
"Back to Lord Belle, Nanny Guan brought her in, and Fujin wanted to see her." A servant girl knelt down hastily.

"I've seen it, send her back."

When Mai Xiang saw it, she had to kneel down too, and said, "Master Baylor, Fujin has been kind to me. I can't leave at this time. Since Lord Baylor has given up on Fujin, please let me try my best. The child will always be happy." It won't be a problem."

What Mai Xiang thought was that she would also use scissors to cut the left and right sides. If she did it, maybe Uladomin would still have a chance. As for the child, it would definitely be fine.

"Bullshit."

"Master Baylor, please respect Fujin's meaning, if you don't believe me, you can ask Fujin." Mai Xiang didn't get up.

"Do you know the consequences?" The man gritted his teeth and asked, he was already on the verge of rage, and wished he could kick Mai Xiang, but in order to accumulate blessings for his child, he refused to do so.

"I know, if the child has a problem, Mai Xiang will apologize with death." Mai Xiang only dares to guarantee the child's problem.

At this time, Madam Guan ran out, knelt down to Lord Belle, and said: "Master Belle, Fujin said, please see that for the sake of her leaving, let this Mai Xiang girl try her best, Whatever the consequences, she has no regrets."

A few people who looked like concubines also stepped forward to persuade: "Master Belle, just follow Fujin."

The man looked at Mai Xiang again, Mai Xiang's eyes were firm, not like the eyes of a ten-year-old child at all.

"Okay, remember what you said yourself, if anything happens to my child, your whole family will be buried with him."

Before he could finish speaking, Mai Xiang dragged Madam Guan into the delivery room. She had no time to waste.

"Master Belle said, you all listen to Miss Mai Xiang's orders." A maid came in outside and said.

"What?" All the women in the delivery room were stunned, this is too unbelievable, Fujin is crazy, so is this prince crazy?Dare to hand over his child to a ten-year-old girl to deliver it?

Mai Xiang also felt that she must be crazy, she came here to take on this errand for nothing, she was only ten years old, she was a girl's family in both lives, this woman had never seen a child before, and she dared to deliver the baby.

But she had no way out, she looked at the weak and pale Uladomin, and said, "Sister, I will call for strength later, so you should do so, take a break first."

After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she asked Madam Guan to help herself. She first wiped Uladomin's lower body twice with white wine, and then wiped the scissors carefully again.

"You guys take care, after I finish cutting, you quickly pick up the child." Mai Xiang said.

The woman next to her nodded hurriedly.

Mai Xiang looked down and could already see the child's black hair, but she just couldn't get out.

"Sister, you have to work harder, the baby's hair can be seen, it's black, it must be very beautiful." Mai Xiang said words of encouragement.

Uladomin smiled weakly, and gritted his teeth to listen to Mai Xiang's instructions. When trying to prop up the cervix, Mai Xiang reached in with his left hand to prop up the left wall, picked up the scissors and pointed it at the downward direction of the cervix. Cut a slit about an inch.

It was also Mai Xiang and Uladomin's luck, because Mai Xiang saw that the mother-in-law just wanted to cut it upwards, but Guan Yu said that if she cut it upwards, she would bleed to death, so she cut it downwards.

With the critical inch-long opening, Uladomin pushed harder, and the child slid out, and Mrs. Wen was busy catching the child.

The first one to come out was a boy, and Mrs. Wen patted the child's buttocks upside down, and the child cried. The man outside the door heard the hard-won cry of the baby, and his legs softened. He hurriedly supported him.

The Wen woman over there just washed and wrapped the child and sent it out to announce the good news, and another Wen woman here started to pick up the second girl.

At this time, Mai Xiang fed the anesthetic to Uradomin, because Mai Xiang was worried that she would not be able to exert herself if she was unconscious, and the baby would not be born.

Mai Xiang waited for Grandma Wen to clean up, took the needle and thread she had prepared earlier, and instructed Madam Guan to sew two stitches in the place where she had just cut, and then sterilized the poison with gauze dipped in white wine, and then asked the mother-in-law to clean the gauze. After holding the wound for half an hour, the bleeding finally stopped.

At this time, the mother-in-law had already cleaned up the delivery room, and several imperial physicians came in to give Uradomin a pulse.

Only now did Mai Xiang feel her legs and feet trembling. She didn't have any confidence in her heart, and she did it with a lot of courage. Fortunately, the two children were saved, and she was right for Uladomin .

Of course, the most important thing is that the heads of her family were also saved.

When the man heard from the imperial doctor that Uladomin's pulse was still steady and his life was safe, he was secretly surprised that this girl was really capable.

He already knew from Mrs. Wen that Mai Xiang actually made a cut with her own hands, but the way of cutting was different from theirs, and the most important point was that she let Nanny Guan cut it open as if she was sewing clothes. The opening was re-sewn.

Since Uladomin hadn't woken up, and it was hard for Mai Xiang to leave, Madam Guan sent a maid who looked like a maid to take Mai Xiang to wash up, and then took Mai Xiang into a room opposite the delivery room.

As soon as Mai Xiang came in, a woman came over with a food box, and the maid hurriedly took it and placed it on the kang table. At this moment, Mai Xiang thought of Ye Dafu, and hurriedly sent someone to inquire, and learned that Ye Dafu had already passed away. go home.

Mai Xiang just sat down, she was already hungry, she picked up the bowl and ate without noticing that there was a man standing by the door, staring at her researching.

Mai Xiang was full, so she began to look at the house.

The room smelled like a book, and there were many landscape calligraphy and paintings on the walls. Standing in front of the calligraphy and paintings, Mai Xiang looked at them one by one, and almost all of them were signed by "Master of Lanting".

"I don't know if this man's paintings are expensive?" Mai Xiang said to herself, she was comparing his calligraphy and paintings with Cao Xueqin, and felt that the artistic conception of the two had a kind of indifference and detachment.

"If you want, I can give you one."

When Mai Xiang heard someone talking behind her, she hurriedly turned around, and it was the Lord Baylor from just now, who was looking at herself with researching eyes.

"Hello." Mai Xiang was anxious, and used the most common greeting in the world, but she didn't know that she had broken a taboo.

"Hello?" The man was not annoyed when he heard that, he had already learned everything about Mai Xiang from Madam Guan, so he became interested in learning more about Mai Xiang.

"You know who I am?"

Mai Xiang shook her head first, then felt something was wrong, she nodded and said, "Yes, you are Fujin's husband."

"My name is Yongen. You have studied, and you like calligraphy and painting?" Yongen also told the other party his name for some reason.

He watched Mai Xiang at the door for a long time, watching Mai Xiang eating food with big mouthfuls, and felt that he looked like a rural child.But when Mai Xiang looked at the house after dinner, he actually looked at his calligraphy and paintings first, instead of the various antiques on Duobao Pavilion, and he felt that Mai Xiang didn't look like a country boy anymore.

In short, this child feels very contradictory. He obviously looks like a rural child who has not grown up, but he still talks and acts like an adult, and he also looks like a person who has studied.

"Back to Lord Baylor, I've been studying for a few days." Mai Xiang realized something was wrong at this moment, and replied politely.

"Can I ask, how can you, a ten-year-old child, have such guts to deliver the baby?" Yong En looked at Mai Xiang and asked.

"Fujin has always taken care of me and treated me well. She is like my sister. At that time, I had no choice."

"Sister? But as far as I know, you are the one who is kind to Fujin." Yongen knew how much his wife wanted a child, but she couldn't conceive after several years. I took so many medicines and saw so many doctors, but after listening to this little girl's words and eating meals for more than a month, I actually got it, and there are still twins. This is the real kindness.And Uladomin just gave her some food.

"Mine was just a coincidence." Mai Xiang didn't want to take the credit.

"What about today's behavior? Is it a coincidence?"

"Yes, I haven't seen a baby before, but when the nanny took the scissors to cut Fujin just now, Nanny Guan cried and said that Fujin would bleed to death, but if she didn't cut it, the baby wouldn't come out, there was no way, I couldn't just watch my sister die, so I picked up the scissors myself, and I saw that the midwife was going to cut upwards, so I cut downwards, thinking that maybe the bleeding would be less."

Mai Xiang interpreted her actions as impulsiveness and coincidence, which was indeed the case, a combination of courage and luck, but it was not so easy for outsiders to believe it.

"What about the stitches?"
"When I was selling things at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, I met a Westerner. He told me some Westerner's medical skills." Mai Xiang had already thought about how to deal with it when she had just eaten.

Yong En guessed that what Mai Xiang said might not be the truth, thought for a while, and said: "You stay here first, and then leave after Fujin wakes up. During this time, think carefully about what reward you want this time."

"I don't want rewards. Fujin has given me a lot of things these days. The money for my house was paid by Fujin. I still owe Fujin 100 taels of silver." Mai Xiang said hurriedly.

"owe?"

"Well, Fujin meant to give it to me, but I think this gift is too big, beyond my tolerance, but I really need it, so I said it as a loan."

Yong En wanted to ask something after hearing this, but at this moment a maid came over and said, "Master Belle, someone is coming from the palace."

After hearing this, Yong En hurriedly straightened his clothes, and followed the servant girl out.
