Although the weather is starting to get cooler, and the Northwest Tiebi Pass has entered autumn, everyone is overjoyed and overjoyed despite the cold wind on the street. Because today, it was the day when the city lord's wife, Wen Hui, gave birth to a child, and she gave birth to a boy smoothly, and the whole city fell into great joy.

The people of the City Lord's Mansion are all well-trained. The housekeeper is also very capable, as soon as the child landed, he took the prepared happy money, began to spread the happy money all over the city, and rewarded the workers of several workshops under the name of the county lord to the steward, and every servant and housekeeper in the house had a reward.

The whole city was plunged into joy.

Zhao Chongyi looked at the red-flopping child in his arms, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. This is his son, and in his life, he has many relatives, an older brother, a younger sister. However, neither the elder brother nor the younger sister were half-siblings or half-siblings, and none of them were of the same blood as him. Now it's good, now that he has a son who inherits his bloodline, what kind of feeling is this, he is excited for a while.

Mama Su looked at Zhao Chongyi with a happy face and said, "Grandpa, the little master should be handed over to the nurse to bring." Shouldn't Grandpa go and see the county lord? ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly said: "Yes, how is Wen Hui?" Can I go see her? ”

Mama Su said: "Originally, men were not allowed to enter the delivery room. However, the county lord has already given birth, and the slaves and maids have moved the county lord to the bedroom, and everything has been cleaned up, and the grandfather can go in. ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly walked to the main room, and as soon as he entered the door, he turned the hall. When I entered the warm bedroom, I saw a pink tent embroidered with a hundred butterflies wearing flowers hooked with a pair of golden hooks of red gold flying butterflies, and the long tassels hung down to the ground. There was a big black pillow full of cyan lying inside, covered with a quilt of warm green satin Baizitu, and a small face against the pink tent and cyan quilt, Chen Wenhui, who was extraordinarily snow-white.

Zhao Chongyi stepped forward quickly, looking at Chen Wenhui's snow-white face, and the rose-red lips caused by blood loss turned a faint pink. A pair of eyes closed. The shadow of the long eyelashes fell on the snow-white face. The eyebrows are very smooth, and the lines seem to be distant mountains, as if they are willow leaves in spring.

Zhao Chongyi was a little strange, at the border pass. Zhao Chongyi is not unprecedented. There were even women who gave birth to children on the road. All of those women had hideous faces. His face was sweating profusely and covered in blood. Why is Chen Wenhui so clean and beautiful. Like a sleeping night flower?

Zhao Chongyi squatted down lightly and put his face on Chen Wenhui's face, the touch was still as smooth and clean as ever.

Chen Wenhui woke up, opened her eyes, and suddenly, the whole person came alive, the eyes seemed to be cold stars, like spring water, Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "Chongyi, are you here?" See our son? ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded and said, "Hui'er, you have worked hard to give birth to such a lovely son for me." How can I be grateful to you? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "You fool, you are still so stupid when you become a father." Is that your son, not mine? As long as the child is well. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "You have worked hard, do you still hurt now?" What's wrong? Did the doctor come and see it? What about Mrs. Hu? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Thanks to Aunt Hu's care in the past few months. I had followed Aunt Hu's instructions before. Exercise every day, so it is also very smooth to give birth to a child, but after two or three hours of pain, the child is born. Aunt Hu has always been by my side. As soon as she removed me from the delivery room, she went to decoction. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Yes, thanks to Mrs. Hu. I really don't know how to thank her. ”

As she was talking, Mrs. Hu came in, followed by a little maid, holding medicine: "Do you want to thank me?" Hui'er's mother is not here, I did it for her. Don't worry, Hui'er's body is very good, after drinking this medicine and draining the lochia, there should be no problem with cultivating for a period of time. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Aunt Hu, thank you for being here. It's also thanks to you that you've been letting me exercise before, otherwise, how could my firstborn go so smoothly? ”

Mrs. Hu said with a smile on her face: "Although I have only given birth to one child, I have studied this aspect for many years, and I have found that as long as I follow my method, I move around more when I am pregnant, and help when I give birth, it is easy." Look at you, the first child went so well. Let me tell you, your sister Mingzhu gave birth to two children, and they all went so smoothly. ”

Chen Wenhui's heart moved, remembering that in her previous life, although she was not married and had children, her colleagues in the unit were pregnant and gave birth to children, and they would start to do prenatal checkups as soon as the child was pregnant. There are often female subordinates who come to ask for leave for prenatal checkups, and she used to wonder why she had to do so many checkups, but later, when she learned about it, it was to avoid the birth of malformed children with poor development. Timely detection and timely processing.

At that time, it was not difficult for women to have children, and there were schools for pregnant women to go to, and they could raise children scientifically. That's what Chen Wenhui doesn't have in this era now.

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but say: "Aunt Hu, when I was pregnant, you gave me a pulse every day, and when you were in the hospital, would you often take the pulse of pregnant women?" ”

Mrs. Hu said: "Of course, there are also many times when you are pregnant, there are problems, and you come to seek medical treatment, of course, you have to take the pulse. However, we women give birth to children at home. Sometimes it is dangerous to encounter a reverse fetus, or the fetus is too large, or the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck. It would be much better if the woman's family could have a baby in the hospital. ”

These are all the feelings that Mrs. Hu has been feeling for a long time, and I said them casually today.

Mrs. Hu said that she had no intention, but Chen Wenhui did listen to her heart.

This era was still a feudal era. In fact, there are so many patients in the hospital every day, most of them are male patients or children. There are very few female patients. There are a few of them, most of them are sick and can't do it, so they come to seek medical treatment. This is because female patients are reluctant to go to the hospital to be examined by doctors.

It's okay to meet a female doctor like Mrs. Hu, they are still willing to be examined and treated, but if they meet a male doctor, they will leave directly. Sometimes, even if they are willing to treat the disease, the people in the family, husbands, in-laws, and children cannot accept a male doctor's examination and treatment.

If you are sick, you don't go to the hospital to see a doctor, let alone give birth to a child, which is such a thing as stripping naked. Every woman gives birth at home. is Chen Wenhui's mother, Mrs. Bai, who gave birth to Chen Wenhui, and they were all born at home. Even Chen Wenhui herself was born at home. Of course, when a noble woman like Chen Wenhui gives birth to a child, there is not only a midwife in the delivery room, but also one or two doctors outside the delivery room.

This is for fear of a dangerous situation, and the backup doctors, even if there are doctors, most of the doctors are men, and they are not allowed to enter the delivery room.

This is the case with noble ladies, and women from ordinary families cannot afford to prepare for a doctor when they give birth. Therefore, for women, giving birth to a child is to walk through the ghost door.

There are also some cases where the mother is easy to give birth to the child, and some newborns have a little problem, if there is a doctor by their side, they may be cured quickly, but most of them are not born by a doctor, so the survival rate of the baby at this time is very low.

Chen Wenhui became a pregnant woman this time, and gave birth to a child by herself, and her mother's heart rose sharply, and she panicked when she thought that some women and children had lost their lives because of the lack of medical treatment and medicine.

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "Aunt Hu, I got your help, got God's blessing, and gave birth to a son smoothly. The housekeeper in our house has been ready for a long time. Donations are made to temples, Taoist temples, seowon halls, Yangzentang, and hospitals according to custom. He also scattered money throughout the city, and gave money to the servants of the whole house, and to the people of the workshop. ”

"Even, all the officials in the Chongyi Yamen, the officials will have extra meals. There will also be additional meals in the Northwest Army. These add up to about five or six hundred thousand taels of silver. ”

"However, I don't think it's enough, I think, there are many women who give birth to children, all of them are born at home, there is no doctor around, no medicine, it is very dangerous, in order to accumulate yin virtue for my son, I want to donate 500,000 taels of silver to establish a special maternity hospital in Shanhai City, Tiebiguan, and Central City."

Mrs. Hu's eyes lit up: "Maternity Hospital? ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Yes, a hospital specially used for women to give birth." In the future, children in these three cities will be born in hospitals, and people are not allowed to deliver children without permission. Those who violate the law will be punished by the government. The light ones will be fined, and the heavy ones will be imprisoned. This also requires you to let the people of the government issue notices, and there are corresponding laws. ”

Zhao Chongyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood how important this matter was, and was very happy, nodded and said, "This is a good thing, and it can be regarded as the first thing we do for our children." ”

Mrs. Hu said: "Aren't many folk women who make a living by delivering babies to starve to death? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Aunt Hu, how can we let these stable women starve to death? Now, in the stable woman, it is very chaotic, there are good and bad. You can recruit all these stable women in one place, and we will pay them to work for a monthly fee. Of course, not all stable women do. Those with good skills will stay, and those with bad skills and bad intentions will not be wanted. Aunt Hu, you can recruit some stout and powerful mothers-in-law to work in the hospital, and recruit some female disciples to cultivate, so you can choose from the little daughter-in-law as much as possible. In this way, not only are the patients in our maternity hospital women, but even the doctors and the servants are women, so that everyone has no worries and is willing to come here to give birth? ”

Mrs. Hu's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and this idea is really good. (To be continued......)
