Xiao Yucheng saw that Xiao Pei's expression was different, and Xiao Yu was silent for a long time, not wanting to make several people uneasy because of this topic, so he asked Xiao Yu, "What do you want to buy medicinal herbs for?" ”

Xiao Yu came back to his senses and said: "I have a prescription to improve my physique that I used when I was a child, which can expand my muscles and bones, which is very beneficial for practicing martial arts. I want to buy the medicinal herbs on Qi Fangzi and come back to give you a bath, so that your martial arts progress faster. ”

Xiao Yucheng suddenly said happily: "Is there really such a prescription? ”

"It's not a martial arts family, Yucheng can practice martial arts without taking this medicinal bath, and Ah Yu doesn't need to spend all this effort and money." Xiao Pei smiled and persuaded, "Do you still want him to take the martial arts exam and come back?" ”

The martial arts of Daqi started last year, and the discussion is lively now, and even Xiao Pei has heard it in the countryside. However, she really hoped that Xiao Yucheng would study and become a member of the gold list, and practicing martial arts was just to strengthen his body and defend himself, and she didn't want him to practice martial arts.

Nowadays, those noble families who claim to be scholars advocate etiquette, and although they are afraid of the reckless generals, they are extremely contemptuous in private. Therefore, the current emperor's military move is also carried out by force.

"Doesn't Sister want Yucheng to come back with a top prize for you?" Xiao Yu smiled, "No matter what, it's always good to learn a good martial art, and Yucheng is also quite interested in it." For the rest, I have my own plans in mind. ”

The two sisters laughed, and Xiao Yucheng fell in love. He has seen the glory and wealth of the Chen Mansion, and he is also eager to get ahead and let his sister live such a good life.

Since the imperial examination, students from poor backgrounds can also take the examination to gain fame and enter the official career. It's just that the view of hierarchy is deep-rooted in the end, and there is still a difference between the Gaomen clan and the common people. Those families still disdain even the upstarts who have just emerged in this dynasty, let alone the low-level students who have just entered the career of the dragon. Even so, the imperial examination gave a glimmer of hope to the poor families, and countless rural and commercial households who were eager to rise to prominence also wanted to send their children to official schools.

Xiao Yucheng knew the situation at home and didn't express what he thought in his heart.

Xiao Yu began to eat without distractions, Xiao Pei's cooking skills were so good, she was full of soup and food, and said with satisfaction: "Sister, you can't catch up with the chef in the craft restaurant." ”

Xiao Pei smiled slightly.

Thinking that Xiao Pei was fifteen years old and could get married, Xiao Yu sighed again: "I really don't know what I will do if Sister A marries." I don't know who has the blessing to marry Sister back. Ouch. ”

Xiao Yu dodged Xiao Pei's outstretched hand, and hid behind Xiao Yucheng with his feet.

"Ah Yu, come here!" Xiao Pei smiled angrily, "You girl, the oily tone is too late for others to catch up." ”

Xiao Yucheng turned his face away, with a smile in his eyes.

Xiao Yu poked her head out and said with a straight face: "The female should get married, I mean it seriously." ”

"It's still early, how can I get married early and leave you two behind." Xiao Pei lowered his head and frowned, and said softly.

Although it is said that a woman can marry after fifteen and sixteen, most of the girls in Daqi do not leave the cabinet until they are seventeen or eighteen years old.

It's still a few years away.

The three sisters and brothers had eaten and cleaned up the table with laughter.

"Sister Xiao! Apei! Anybody home? Achuan! Is there anyone there? Suddenly there was a loud shout outside the door, and it sounded very urgent.

Several people looked at each other in surprise, not knowing what was going on.

"Wait a minute, here we go!" Xiao Yu replied with a loud voice. Xiao Pei had already put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Yucheng followed her.

Several women from the village had already walked in, led by Liu, the wife of the village chief Zhou Dabao. Several people looked in a hurry, and when they saw Xiao Pei's sister and brother, they were as eager as if they had seen some life-saving straw, and they hurriedly greeted them.

Xiao Pei asked, "What happened when you came here so late?" ”

Liu Shi took Xiao Pei's hand, turned to look at Xiao Yu and said, "Lizheng's daughter-in-law is not good, I'm afraid that this son will only be hanging." As the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and please ask the second sister to hurry up. ”

Although Li Zheng has no rank, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and the household registration and taxation in the village, the fields and mulberry farming, and the legal affairs are all under his direct jurisdiction, and he must not deal with them.

What's more, saving people's lives is indeed a good deed.

Xiao Yu didn't leave immediately, but asked: "What is the specific situation?" I'm so prepared. ”

She is good at poison, and Yu Yidao is just mediocre. Although it is said that medicine and poison are one, they are different after all. Fortunately, her mother, Su Ying, was good at both, and left her many prescriptions and pill powders to deal with common diseases. She also prepares pills in her spare time, and there are more than a dozen kinds of emergencies in the house, so she has to ask first.

"Lizheng's daughter-in-law Lu had a difficult birth, and she couldn't give birth after a day and fainted." Liu said urgently.

Xiao Yucheng said that his ancestors also knew medicine, and if the pill didn't want to be publicized, he could push it on. Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng, who were looking at her worriedly, and felt that it was better to make it clear.

"I only know a little about medicinal herbs, and I only know a little about medicine, and I don't know how to deliver a woman. Didn't Li Zheng invite a midwife? Xiao Yu was embarrassed.

A woman next to her said: "I have invited two of the best stable women in the nearby township." It's just that Lizheng's daughter-in-law's uterine mouth has not been opened for a long time, and it is difficult to give birth smoothly due to the abnormal fetal position, and it is ineffective to eat the birth soup. ”

If the mother has heavy bleeding, it is a very critical matter!

"Did you get a doctor?" Xiao Yu immediately asked.

"When a woman gives birth to a child, it is not easy for the doctor to go in and see it. I also let the doctor see that the fetus is fine, but I am a little afraid that it will not be easy to give birth, and I have never heard that the baby of any family cannot be born because it is too big, and the Lizheng family has not taken it to heart. This time I was in a hurry to invite, and I heard that Dr. Zhou had entered the city, so he had already ordered someone to enter the city quickly and invite Langzhong, so that my sister would go first. Liu said, "You go quickly, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Rural families are already poor, so naturally few of them raise a large fetus.

"I really don't understand this." Xiao Yu said, "There are some pills that I have recently prepared according to the Xiao family's ancestral recipe, I went in to find them, and then I went over." ”

"Then please hurry up, second sister." Liu Shi said busily.

Xiao Yu hurriedly went into the house to get the silver needle and the medicine that might be used, thinking that it was to deliver the mother, she also deliberately changed into a narrow-sleeved women's dress and put a robe on the outside.

Although it was the first time for several people to see him so delicate, they didn't care about complimenting him in an emergency, so they pulled him on the mule cart. Xiao Pei followed uneasily. Xiao Yu said to Xiao Yucheng: "You are at home with peace of mind, let's go over and take a look, and come back soon." ”

All the way uphill, the coachman was so anxious that he kept flicking his whip to urge the mule to go faster and go to the house.

On the way, Xiao Yu learned about the details of the mother Lu.

Lizheng Zhou Yuancheng is an only son, and now he has five daughters, but there is only one boy like his youngest son, Zhou Qingui.

Since her daughter-in-law Lu had a body, the whole family has revolved around her, and she attaches great importance to this fetus. Especially Lizheng's seventy-year-old mother is even more eager for her great-grandson. Because of this, everyone in the family is reluctant to let the Lu family do a little work, and they are supported by people when they go in and out, for fear of a mistake, and the diet is even more rich and fine.

The mother almost did not move during pregnancy, only to open her mouth and clothes to stretch her hands, and all kinds of supplements were eaten into her stomach like water, until she was seven or eight months pregnant, she invited a stable woman to say that the fetus was too big to be slightly restrained, but it is estimated that she still has not moved much, and as a result, she found that it was difficult to give birth to a full-term month.

"It can be seen that it's not good to be too delicate." Liu sighed, "Look at the little daughters-in-law in the village who have a big belly and go to the ground for a long time, but they are all born smoothly." ”

A few others chimed in: "Isn't it?" If it weren't for what Mrs. Zhang said this time, I never thought that it would be bad to raise a big baby. ”

Xiao Yu leaned on the side of the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, trying to recall her previous experience. Coincidentally, she once rescued a woman with a difficult birth with her mother, but she didn't care much at the time, so her impression was vague, and her experience was only that, so she was actually not sure in her heart.

At this time, when it comes to dystocia, it is usually a life-threatening death. Xiao Yu thought so, and was a little more afraid of getting married and having children.
