Chapter 21 Seeking a Son
Qingping Courtyard, in Feng's bedroom. The eldest sister, Su Jinyun, had already drunk the decoction mixed with honey and was lying on the couch and fell asleep, and Feng's personal big girl Caizhu came in with a bowl of decoction and quietly handed it to Feng.
Feng took the medicine bowl and frowned in disgust.
Xing's daughter-in-law, who was patting Sister Yun'er sleeping, persuaded her: "My good master, the slave advises you to endure and drink this bitter medicine juice, while the prince is at home for a while, it is important for you to hurry up and conceive a brother." ”
Feng Shi sighed and nodded, closed his eyes and drank a bowl of soup and medicine. Caizhu next to him hurriedly took a glass of warm water for Feng Shi to rinse his mouth, and brought a small plate of salted plums to her. Feng Shi twisted one and put it in his mouth, and it took a while to ease his breath, and sighed: "It's really a sin." ”
Xing's daughter-in-law smiled softly and persuaded: "Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged, wait for you to give birth to your brother, and raise your brother to make contributions; Our Sister Yun is a considerate child, and in the future, you will have both children and daughters, just like your wife, and everyone in the world will envy you. ”
Feng Shi smiled faintly and nodded speechlessly.
The year before last, she was pregnant with a son, because of the busy New Year, and the complicated affairs in the palace, Mrs. Lu handed over most of the family affairs to her, she managed the family affairs conscientiously, and she was tired of losing the child in her belly.
After her body was greatly damaged, she has not been able to sit on the fetus again, last year her husband led the army to the west, and she left for more than half a year, causing her to stay alone in the empty room, frightened, and how many tears fell behind her back.
Now that Su Yuping has returned triumphantly, the Feng family has already figured it out. For the time being, it doesn't matter what power you have in the house. As long as Su Yuping is alive, she will be the wife of the prince, and whoever is in charge of the family affairs will be temporary, and her husband will inherit the marquis in the future, and she will be the mistress of this mansion.
But if you want to sit on the throne of the hostess of the Hou Mansion safely, you can't rely on your husband alone, you must have children.
For the sake of the perpetuity of the title, when the marquis returns to the west in the future, it is impossible to give the title to the son who has no heirs, so that the hard-won marquis position will be cut off in Su Yuping's generation.
Besides, although Su Yuping is still young, he can't guarantee that he will go on an expedition in the future. Leading troops to fight, swords and guns have no eyes, if her husband makes a mistake, Feng understands that even if he controls everything in the Hou Mansion now, he will eventually draw water with a bamboo basket.
Heirs are the foundation of a woman's life in this world.
In this majestic waiting house, in addition to the Feng family, Yao Fengge is also worried about the heirs.
In Qixiang Courtyard, the girls and mothers-in-law served the master for dinner, so they took turns on duty and went down to eat.
Yao Fengge left Coral alone to serve in front of him, showed a yellowed prescription to Yao Yanyu, and asked quietly: "Sister, look at this prescription, what's wrong?" ”
Yao Yanyu took the prescription and looked at it carefully by candlelight, and said, "This is a prescription for a woman to warm and nourish her body, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”
Yao Fengge asked again: "Then, if you often use this prescription to make up for the temperature, can you get pregnant quickly?" ”
"Pregnant?" Yao Yanyu was a little surprised when she heard this, thinking that I am not very proficient in gynecology, and besides, this matter of asking for a child ...... It's useless for a woman to work alone, right? Despite this slander, Yao Yanyu still lowered her head and looked at Fang Zi carefully.
"How?" Yao Fengge looked at Yao Yanyu's serious expression, a little nervous.
Yao Yanyu couldn't see anything from the prescription, after all, she didn't have similar experience, and although she had seen a lot of decoction prescriptions, she didn't have the opportunity to put them into practice. For a doctor of Western medicine who attaches great importance to clinical experience, it is not credible to have a prescription without Shiyan. So he asked, "My sister has been taking this decoction before?" ”
"When you first get married, you don't need it. After getting married and having no children for more than a year, I asked someone to find this recipe. But after eating it for less than half a year, he became ill, and he couldn't take care of this disease, so he threw away this recipe for a while. Now I'm getting better, so I think about it again. ”
Yao Fengge said and sighed heavily: "My sister also knows that I have been married to the third master for more than three years and have no children, which is already a big problem in the eyes of my wife." Originally, I thought that my life was short, and I couldn't care about this. But now fortunately, my sister has rejuvenated and let my sister and me pick up a life. If you can live well, you must have a child. Otherwise, it will be equally untenable in this house, and if he is divorced from the house by the Hou Mansion on the grounds of having no children in the future, won't it make his parents and brothers lose face? ”
Yao Yanyu thought about it, so she sighed: "Sister's words are naturally good. However, the cause of this pregnancy cannot all be found in women. My sister also said that after eating this recipe for more than half a year, it didn't work? ”
Yao Fengge was stunned, hurriedly grabbed Yao Yanyu's hand and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean...... The third master? ”
"No, no." Yao Yanyu was startled, thinking to herself that I don't know what happened to Su Yuxiang, and secretly scolded herself for talking too much, so she might as well say something she shouldn't say for a while. Then he said anxiously: "Sister, don't think too much, I mean, this recipe may be a good recipe, but it may not be suitable for my sister." ”
Yao Fengge had already listened to Yao Yanyu's words in his heart, and secretly thought that he would have to find a way to find a reliable imperial doctor to diagnose Su Yuxiang's pulse, and it was unknown that his infertility for many years might be in him. After thinking about it, he sighed quietly and asked, "I think so too." I don't know if my sister has any good ideas? ”
Yao Yanyu thought for a while and said, "My sister's body has not fully recovered yet, which is really not conducive to pregnancy. If you are pregnant at this time, the child will inevitably compete for the mother's qi and blood, which will make the sister's body unbearable, and conversely, the sister's health will not be good to get pregnant, which is not good for the child's health. So I mean that my sister can't be too anxious about her pregnancy. In the past two months, you must be well recuperated. ”
"That's what my sister said." Yao Fengge agreed with these words very much.
Yao Yanyu also advised Yao Fengge to go out and walk around more, relax his mind, use food to replenish his body as much as possible, and use no decoction if he can.
In short, the concepts of 'medicine is three parts poison' and 'life lies in movement' must be established.
zuihou, Yao Yanyu told her a moxibustion method in order to reassure Yao Fengge, and told her to use moxa sticks to smoke the uterus, Shimen and other acupuncture points every night to regulate the female endocrine system, and the specific method was carefully explained again.
Yao Yanyu was finally released by Yao Fengge, and as soon as she entered the room, she took off her shoes and lay down on the couch, and called Cui Wei repeatedly: "Pour tea!" ”
Cui Wei hurriedly handed over a cup of honey water, and whispered back: "Girl, Mother Feng just came back, because she was in a hurry, she didn't eat dinner, so she will eat in the small room at this time." ”
Yao Yanyu suddenly remembered that she had told the nurse to go out to run errands, and the nurse had gone out all day, and she had returned at this time, so she hurriedly said: "Let her eat first, and then come in after eating." ”
"Yes." Cuiwei took the empty teacup and put it back.
