That night, after Yun'er had practiced, she carried a few boxes from the secret room, changed the diapers for her son and daughter, and was about to lie down and go to sleep, when she heard a knock on the door, which had never happened before. Shui'er, who was Yun'er's companion, also heard it, and said to Yun'er, who was about to go to the ground, "Don't move, slave maid go and take a look, and there is no need to light the moon outside." ”

"Put on a dress and look cold." Yun'er grabbed a piece of clothing, and put it on Shui'er no matter whose it was, "Be careful, ask who opened the door before opening the door." ”

"The slave knows."

Shui'er trotted all the way to the door of the weeping flower and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

"Sister Shui'er, I am the second sister-in-law of your Zhu family, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, my father-in-law and aunt went out to find Wen Po, and they haven't come back, can I wait for a child? Fu Jin recommended Master Yun's friend and said that Mr. Ling would deliver the baby and asked me to invite her. ”

Shui'er heard that it was indeed the second daughter-in-law of the medical officer Mr. Zhu's family, so she opened the door, let her in, and plugged in the door, "You wait a minute, I'll tell the master." ”

"Yes, hurry up." Because Mama Zheng is Shui'er's godmother, the second daughter-in-law of the Zhu family talks to Shui'er as casually as she talks to her own family.

Shui'er entered Yun'er's room and told Yun'er about the situation to make a long story short. Yun'er said, "I'll go with you and call Sister Ling, it's better." ”

The two of them went to the living room on the east side of the hall, knocked lightly on the door, and the door opened. In fact, Ling Juan woke up when the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family knocked on the door. Knocking on the door in the middle of the night is most likely because the woman in the family is going to give birth, so it is common for midwives to be woken up in the middle of the night, and they have already dressed and prepared the midwifery box. Very succinctly, he said, "Let's go." ”

"You're going to do it quickly."

"Occupational disease. You can go back to sleep, and I'll just go with the mother's family. ”

Yun'er felt that it was inappropriate, except for Mama Zheng, the other people in the Zhu family had never seen Ling Juan, and the trust level would not be very high, and they might point fingers at her. In particular, Medical Officer Zhu himself is a doctor, and he used to be a doctor, so he may not be able to accept foreign delivery methods, and if Ling Juan is driven out, it will be difficult to carry out future work. said: "Sister Shui'er, you watch the child at home, plug the door and sleep with confidence, I'll go with Sister Ling and give her a boost." ”

"Aren't you working too hard?"

"It's okay, it won't be like this every day." As he spoke, he left with the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family.

The people of the Zhu family were dying in a hurry, and the three of them were sent out to find Wen Po and didn't come back for an hour. It's not that Wen Po is not at home, but I heard that it was a woman in the palace who gave birth to a child, and I was afraid that if something went wrong in the middle, I would have no head on the spot, so I said that I was not at home and refused to come. At this time, they may be looking for the stable woman who is related to the big purchase in the house.

"Cloud master? How did you get here? Mama Zheng asked.

"Sister Ling gave birth in a strange place for the first time, and I came to give her courage."

"It's too much to worry about, and it alarms you. You may be seated. ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

"What about maternity?" Ling Juan's professional ethics are quite strict.

"In Westinghouse, I'll lead you there." Mama Zheng was so anxious that smoke was rising above her head.

In the West House of the main house, Mama Zheng's daughter is rolling on the bed. There was a forty-seven or eighteen-year-old half-old lady whimpering with tears in her eyes beside the bed, it seemed that it was Mama Zheng's in-laws and daughter's mother-in-law, this was her first grandson, she was very nervous, and kept saying, "How can this be good?" ”

"This old man, don't worry, I'll take a look."

"What's going on, if you don't give birth honestly, what's the roll?" The old lady asked.

"No, she didn't dare to use force when she gave birth, so she said that her stomach would explode if she tried hard." Mama Zheng helped her daughter explain.

"Don't be nervous, I'll check it for you." Ling Juan patiently let the mother lie down, and her hand gently stroked her lower abdomen. With tears streaming down her eyes, the mother asked, "Am I going to die?" ”

"No, don't worry, you have a lot of urine in your bladder that needs to be removed."

Except for Yun'er, who understood, everyone else was ignorant. Yun'er whispered to Mama Zheng: "Sister Ling means that your sister's urine (the pronunciation of urine is pronounced "Cui") is full of urine, and it hurts when you exert yourself. ”

"So what can I do?" Mama Zheng was terrified, and it was the first time she had heard that this would happen during childbirth. In fact, it is too normal, and there are often unexpected things in production.

"Mama Zheng, please rest assured, Sister Ling will handle it." Yun'er comforted.

Ling Juan's midwifery kit had been sterilized, so she skillfully took out the catheter and whispered to the mother: "It doesn't matter, it will be fine soon, but you have to cooperate and lie down." As he spoke, he inserted one end of the urinary catheter into the mother's urethra, pinched it with a ball-shaped leather sac, and guided the urine inside, and connected the end of the catheter into a large and transparent square thick plastic bag, and the plastic bag was placed on a small stool lower than the bed.

"Okay, there's no danger, let's continue to live."

"Come and sit in the slave's room, the delivery room is a filthy place, and you are a noble man. Fang Cai frightened the slave and maid, how can a woman give birth without force? As soon as I exerted my strength, I screamed in pain, it seems that this Mama Ling is a good hand, thank God! ”

Yun'er went to the delivery room again without worry, and Ling Juan said to her: "You can rest assured that it is a smooth delivery, or you go back, it is estimated that it will give birth within two hours." ”

"And you're alone?"

"It's okay, it's often like this before, you don't tie it up, go back to sleep quickly."

Yun'er said to Mama Zheng, "Sister Ling said that your daughter was born naturally, so don't worry." ”

"That, Master Yun, how do you give the delivery money?" Mama Zheng asked in a low voice.

"With your reward, Sister Ling is not a person in our house now."

Mama Zheng immediately understood what Yun'er meant. It seems that the daughter's matter has been resolved quite smoothly, but if Wen Po, who doesn't understand, comes to deliver the baby, it is likely to be another result. She had heard of some stable mothers who slapped the mother's stomach hard when the mother's stomach was in severe pain, causing both mother and child to pass away. In fact, her daughter's life was saved by Ling Juan today! Mama Zheng is not a person who pretends to be confused, in order to save a few dollars, she must give a generous remuneration to others if she does not mention the grace of saving people's lives.

Considering that Master Yun still had two nursing children in the room, Mama Zheng sent her eldest son Zhu Yuan and eldest daughter-in-law to send Yun'er back to Feiyun Tower.

An hour later, at the beginning of the ugly hour, Mama Zheng's daughter gave birth to a chubby boy smoothly. Mother and child are safe. Mama Zheng's family immediately regarded Ling Juan as a god, made a lot of delicious food, and gave twenty taels of silver for the delivery fee. This number was already a lot in Mama Zheng's family and era, but Ling Juan did not calculate the ratio of the silver in the Qing Dynasty to the money in her hometown, and she would take as much as she wanted, and there was no unified regulation on this. Waited here until dawn to see that there would be no bloodshed, so I instructed Mama Zheng a few things to pay attention to, and the second sister-in-law of the Zhu family sent her back to Feiyun Tower.

The first thing I did when I came back was to sleep. Although it was not the first time she had delivered a baby, and she hadn't delivered a baby for several years, she was more nervous than the mother.

Ling Juan made up for a morning before getting up and washing. Now it is Yue'er who helps her comb her hair, Yue'er is a generation younger than Yu'er Shui'er, and she calls Ling Juan her aunt. "Why is my aunt so sleepy today?"

"In the middle of the night, I delivered a daughter-in-law named Dr. Zhu's family, and I was busy for most of the night. Seeing that you slept soundly, and that it was from the girl's family, it did not alarm you. ”

"Huh? Do you still deliver babies? ”

"I used to be a midwife."

"Did the Zhu family's sister give birth to a boy or a girl?"

"Boy. In the future, you little girls will have to follow this path. ”

"What did my aunt say? Shame on you. Yue'er's face turned red.

"I'm so shy, don't talk about it. Is there anyone you like? ”

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense! Those of us who are maids, what's the use of liking? Our marriage is decided by the master. ”

"It's okay, I'm friends with your master, if you like anyone, tell me quietly, and I'll help you intercede. Such a beautiful girl should have someone she likes. ”

Yun'er came over to look at Ling Juan: "How is it?" It seems to be going well. ”

"The first time I gave birth here, I caught up with urine retention, and I was chilled to think about it. That family over there made me miserable because of that. By the way, Mama Zheng gave me twenty taels of consultation money. ”

"Wow! But it's a lot. That's four thousand dollars in a foreign land. ”

"Huh? Four thousand? That's too much, right? I'm not going to calculate the ratio between the two sides, or I'm going to give them half back. ”

"I haven't heard about the refund yet. Your catheterization is normal for you, but I'm afraid it's going to be news here. ”

"Isn't it? I think ......"

"You don't have to think about anything, if the mother's family doesn't have the financial ability, he won't give you such a high consultation fee. You're good to go. Maybe one day you'll go back with the money you've earned from here. I know you're not used to being here, it's depressing. It's like when I come to you, I don't feel at home. Sister Han's family is so good to us. ”

"I'm trying to get used to it here, just because I'm afraid of causing you trouble."

"What's the trouble, I'm afraid you'll be wronged. Okay, come with me to the small kitchen for lunch today, it doesn't matter if it's a few times a while, who doesn't come to the guests. Today, there are new dishes made by Mama Jiang according to the method I said, you can try it. ”

Mama Zheng's house, Mama Zheng told her husband about Ling Juan's catheterization of her daughter, where is there catheterization in Daqing? Who understands whether a mother's stomach ache is due to labor pains or something else? If this urine bubble is suffocated, my daughter will be dead, doesn't this mean that someone saved my daughter's life? As a doctor, Dr. Zhu said: "Twenty taels is too little!" However, it doesn't seem like the right way to get a top-up fee, so look elsewhere. I've been practicing medicine for more than 20 years and I've never heard of catheterization! ”

The accident of Medical Officer Zhu's daughter during the birth process and Ling Juan's timely rescue soon became a whirlwind in the house, blowing everywhere, and Mama Zheng was the direct source of this whirlwind. Mama Zheng's daughter is a very filial woman, originally lived with her mother-in-law and husband outside the house, Fu Jin revealed to Mama Zheng that the women in the house want to participate in the business affairs of the prince, and the processing of fabrics will be rewarded, so that Mama Zheng's daughter's family quickly moved into the house to wait.

Can Fu Jin still tell lies? It just so happened that Mama Zheng's daughter-in-law's in-law lived in a very narrow place, and her life was also very poor, Mama Zheng felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to take her daughter back for a long time, so she vacated two rooms in the east wing of her courtyard for her daughter's family to live. The prince gave Mama Zheng's family a complete set of courtyards, because she has three sons, she must be lenient. Mama Zheng's daughter's mother-in-law was widowed in her early years, and only one son is still a posthumous child, who is the lifeblood of the old lady. finally raised and married a daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is capable, cheerful and filial to her mother-in-law, and the old lady is very satisfied with Mama Zheng's daughter. The daughter-in-law had a problem during the production process, which scared the old lady to death. kept asking for help from the Bodhisattva, and it was a woman in her thirties who saved her daughter-in-law's life, and she was still a guest of the master who came from afar, so Ling Juan was regarded as a god by the old lady.

Ling Juan was famous for giving birth for the first time, at least Fu Jin understood that she was a good person, and he was even more determined to keep her in the house.

"Sister Liu, you go and invite Mr. Ling to me, I have something to say to her."

Mama Liu hurriedly agreed to invite. Of course, Yun'er also has to be invited at the same time.

"Say hello to Fujin." Ling Juan has learned all kinds of etiquette very decently now.

"Sit, please! Mustache and bun served refreshments to Mr. Ling. ”

Ling Juan is used to calling herself a gentleman to Fu Jin, but she feels a little funny. In foreign lands, those who graduated from secondary schools are almost already regarded as illiterate. But Wang Ye and Yun'er were afraid that she would be wronged, and she would raise her identity one by one, and she couldn't tear down the stage for herself, so she reluctantly accepted this title, so Ling Juan smiled and said to Fu Jin: "You are polite." ”

"It's not polite, it's well-deserved! Sister Zheng is my dowry, she has been by my side for more than 30 years, and she is loyal to me. She told me everything about her daughter, which is really admirable. From now on, all the people in the house will call you sir. I wonder if Mr. has considered staying in the house? In the future, regardless of whether anyone gives birth or not, the husband will be paid twenty taels of silver every month, and if the mother's family gives you any additional reward, you can accept it with peace of mind. You should be paid for importing people for their families. ”

Ling Juan thanked Fujin for his favor. However, Ling Juan is also a disciple of Master Gan Lin, and also has her own mission, so Ling Juan remitted half of the income to the business income of the house, and then handed it over to the emperor and the queen mother, which can be regarded as a good deed for the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Mr. Ling is really high! In the future, the women in the house will all rely on Mr. Ling. ”

"Ling Juan should do her best."
