On April 28, the third day of the birth of Su's two little babies, Qin Dai ordered people to close the door of the Orchid Garden as usual, refused to visit a visitor, and just asked Yan and Ruyi to talk about a more famous stable woman in Taizhou City.

Wen Po is a midwife, also known as a midwife, can be a stable woman, generally older, have childbirth experience, and have experience in childbirth, they are not highly educated, and even some are illiterate at all, the reason why they can be qualified for the important role of midwifery, but also thanks to the inheritance of generations of craftsmanship, relying on the master with apprentices, a little bit of exploration. Of course, some of them are particularly excellent, in today's words, they are the leaders in the industry, these excellent Wen Po are not only literate, some even have a medical foundation, not only will deliver babies, but also help pregnant women prescribe some simple blood stains, uterine contraction decoction, of course, they are also relatively charged a lot higher than the average Wen Po.

Yan and Ruyi went to invite this stable woman surnamed Yu, her ancestors have practiced medicine for generations, although they are all unknown bell doctors, but they are also medical families, Yu's father is named Yu Qingquan, is a bell doctor who walks the streets and alleys, Yu's mother Wang is a stable woman, the two have no sons in their lives, but they gave birth to nine girls.

Yu's family ranked seventh in the family, when she was a child, she was called Yu Qimei, Yu Qimei has a pungent temperament, bold and careful, she is the successor personally selected by Yu Qingquan and Wang, although there are many girls in the Yu family, but the temperament is surprisingly consistent, except for Yu Qimei, all of them are timid, and they are also very afraid of blood! Can a person who is afraid of blood be a doctor and a stable woman? Of course not, so the seventh child of the Yu family naturally became the one who inherited the mantle of his parents.

Among the many stable women in Taizhou City, this is the second place in the clan, and no one dares to recognize the first at all. Yu is not only able to deliver babies, but also proficient in medical science, and the decoction she serves to the mothers after giving birth to their children during confinement. The tonic is prescribed by her according to the mother's body, and those cookie-cutter shrinking officials, different from the stasis prescription, every flavor of medicine in each prescription, Yu will consider and consider, be sure to achieve the most suitable for the mother, the mildest tonic, the most effective effect! Yu's professionalism and professional skills have been praised by those who have invited her, and many people have come here. Therefore, Yu's itinerary is always full, and if you don't make an appointment half a year in advance, you can't invite anyone at all.

Uh, back to business.

Because Yu is the leader of Wen Po's line. So as early as half a year ago, Wanru asked people to take a deposit of fifty taels to make an appointment with Yu's consultation, not that Fang Wanru pretended to be generous, but that Qin Congwen was particularly concerned about Su's fetus, and he ordered it early in the morning, Fang Wanru had no choice. I had to ask someone to invite Yu's.

Yu gave birth to Qin Fengge in his early years, and the three children of the Qin family were all delivered by her, as for the delivery of the concubine, Yu said that it was not that he did not take it, but he did not give birth to the concubine of the Qin Mansion.

This Sue was, was the first.

Yu Shi responded to Su's fetus. But there was no trace of Su when he was born prematurely, and the person who received Yu's said that Yu was not there. I went to another county to deliver the baby.

This matter is strange from the inside out, according to common sense, Su was born prematurely, and gave birth to twins before the day. There is a reason for the incident, and it is normal for Yu to fail to deliver Su as agreed in advance. But Qin Daixin just felt that there was something strange about this! The three subordinates went to find the stable woman separately, and the three stable women were not at home as if they had made an appointment in advance, how could this unusual "coincidence" not make people suspicious!

So Yan and Ruyi came to find Yu's, on the one hand, to wash the two little masters, on the other hand, they also wanted to inquire about something, the matter was serious, Yan and Ruyi didn't dare to be sloppy, the two got up early in the morning, they were afraid that Yu's was not at home, so as soon as the day dawned, these two people came to Yu's door, Yu's is very famous in the local area, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is known to women and children, so the two didn't make much effort, and found Yu's home all the way.

Yu's home lives on the street and is easy to find.

"Mom is this one, right?" Ruyi looked at the small cross-courtyard in front of him, and asked like a Yanbao foreman, the small courtyard in front of him is a little smaller, there are only three, but the red walls and green tiles are very neatly cleaned, and it is a well-off home with a solid family at a glance.

It seems that this Yu family has made a lot of money, and it is not easy for a woman to earn such a big family business!

"It's definitely this one." Yan smiled and pointed to a small wooden sign on the door and said, "Look, it says!" ”

Ruyi originally knew a few words, and after following Qin Daixin, he learned a lot, so he easily recognized the words on the wooden card.

"Fast horses and light cars, Yu's washing." Ruyi nodded violently towards Yan, "Yes, yes, that's right." After saying that, she tapped the door, "Is anyone home?" ”

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, the man walked more quickly, and the sound of the soles of his shoes rubbing the ground was heard clearly, and someone said in a loud voice: "Here it is, here it is." ”

The door was opened, and it was a woman in her thirties who opened the door, and as soon as she saw Yan and Ruyi, she asked, "Do you want someone to deliver the baby, or do you want to wash the three?" Is there an appointment? ”

Ruyi and Yan glanced at each other, and were very surprised, "Sister-in-law, how did you know our intention?" ”

The woman said, "What's so strange about this, no one who comes to my house comes to visit me." The woman let the two in, led them into the wing, and said, "My mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been stable mothers for two generations, and most of the people in the family have invited us to deliver babies and wash the third one." ”

The woman spoke sharply, and at first glance she was a person who could do both inside and out.

"I see!" Ruyi said: "Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, we are here to ask my mother to wash the third for my little master." ”

The woman said, "Which house?" But was it delivered by my mother-in-law? ”

It turns out that this woman is Yu's mother-in-law, and she is also a stable woman!

"The Qin family in Luogu Lane, Three Cross Street, our aunt paid a deposit half a year ago, but my aunt was born prematurely, so I didn't have time." Ruyi said briefly according to Qin Daixin's instructions, and then said: "Although the two little masters are not delivered by my mother, our aunt hopes that because my mother will wash the two young masters of my family, because there is something at home, so we only came today." Sister-in-law, let me ask more, can Yu's mother be free today? ”

"It's a good time for you. My mother-in-law is really idle today, you can sit down, and I will go and invite my mother-in-law to come over. "The sister-in-law went out like a gust of wind.

After a while, the eldest sister-in-law came in with a woman about fifty years of age, dressed in a homely garment of fine cotton, with her hair tied up into a falling bun, two silver hairpins of great weight inserted into them, and a pair of earplugs of gold lilacs on her ears.

Yan and Ruyi knew that this was Yu.

The four of them said a few polite words, and quickly returned to the topic. Yan explained the meaning of the intention and asked what Yu meant.

Yu smiled, looking shrewd. Said: "Since it is an errand of the Qin family, how can the old body shirk the reason, there is no other work today, just to help the two young masters wash the three, just the fifty ......taels of the previous aunt's delivery."

Yan smiled. Hurriedly reassured: "My grandmother said that premature birth was an accident, and my mother didn't have the magic power, how could I know?" The fault is not in the mother, and the deposit naturally cannot be recovered. Our grandmother has prepared another fifty taels for you, just waiting for you to wash the two young masters. ”

Yan's words made Yu's music bloom, and the silver couldn't run. Naturally, she couldn't refuse the business sent to the door, fifty taels was a lot, although it was said that it was two children, but the Qin family was also a big deal.

"Okay, let me dress up. Let's go back and wash the two young masters. ”

Washing three is a delicate and troublesome thing, and there are dozens of items for washing three purposes. Each piece has a meaning, the nurse is a person who has come over, and has prepared an umbilical hairpin, a pot cloth, a furnace, millet, gold and silver bills, sheng'er, dou'er, locks, weighs, small mirrors, toothbrushes, tongue scraping, new cages, rouge powder, new towels, copper tea trays, green onions, mugwort leaf balls, green cloth tips, green tea leaves, new combs, baking cages, incense candles, money and grain paper yards, raw and cooked eggs, mallets and so on. I also boiled the water of Huaitiao Pu Ai, and dyed red guiyuan, lychees, raw peanuts, and chestnuts with rouge, and waited for Yu to come to the door.

Newborn babies wash three, generally close relatives come to the door, children's grandparents, uncles and elders are to be present, large families have many rules, generally only invite female dependents, this is the rule.

When Yu came to the Qin Mansion, he already felt strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange, and when he arrived at the Orchid Garden, he found that the garden seemed to have become a place that was easy to get out and difficult to enter, and the atmosphere in the whole mansion was strange.

Yu is a person who has seen the world, and knows that there are many taboos in the big family, and things are complicated, as long as she, an outsider, does her duty, and does not listen, look at or mix in everything.

Thirteen statues of gods have been enshrined outside the house, fine millet is spread in the incense burner, a pair of small red sheep fat candles are inserted on the wax skewers, and thousands of pieces of yellow paper and ingots are held underneath. Su's bedroom is hung with the statues of "Kang Gong" and "Kang Mother", and five bowls of oil cake are also prepared as tributes. Yu Shi looked around at a group of female relatives in the house, and said with some embarrassment: "You can bring the little young master over." ”

The aunt is not the official master of the house, and it is normal that no one comes to send blessings to the child, but the people who add pots to the house are like people who look like maids, and this kind of thing that should be done by the parents is all replaced by maids, which is also too unbelievable.

But what kind of person is Yu's family, she has a clear mind, and she has seen the world, she knows that some things can be said, and some things can't be said even if she is killed, and people don't care about herself, what does she care about!

Yan and the nurse hugged their two children.

Qin Daixin took the lead in adding water to the prepared copper basin, and then threw two small silver ingots, Yu's eyes lit up, and he sang loudly: "Long flowing water, smart and clever." ”

Then Li Wan'er threw three happy fruits into the basin, and Yu sang again: "Longan, longan, even the three rounds." ”

She sings whatever others throw, and it's very festive.

After Ruyi finished adding the last basin, Yu Shi stirred it in the basin with a mallet, and said loudly while stirring: "Stir it, stir it, stir it twice, stir it three times, and my brother leads my younger brother to run ......."

After singing for a while, Yu began to take a bath for the children, although the water in the basin was warm, but after all, it was placed for a while, it was a little cold, the two children touched the water, and then they cried, and everyone here was happy, this basin was really extraordinary, the little brothers opened their voices and cried, as loud as they wanted, the sound was neat and crisp, not at all like a child who was only three days old.

Yu praised it and began the complicated washing project, what "wash your hair first, be a prince; After washing the waist, one generation is taller than the other; Wash the eggs, as the county; Wash the ditch and do the ...... of Zhizhou"

Speaking of a set of sets, more smooth than a smooth mouth, two children wash three together, time-consuming and laborious is needless to say, finally finished washing the two little guys, Yan went to the yard to put the Niangniang yard, worship the gods money and food together with the incense root, sent to the courtyard for incineration. So he used the copper chopsticks prepared in advance to hold the god code of the Kang Gong and the Kang Mother, and said: "The surname of the Kang Gong and the Kang Mother is Li, and the adults and children will hand it over to you; Send more men and less women. Then, put a bag of ash in red paper and press it under the kang mat, saying that they would always stay on the kang head and bless the safety of adults and children. Subsequently, she asked Su Shi for An Daoxi, and she was busy for a day, wasn't she just for these rewards?

Su Shi did not break his promise, and really let people wrap fifty taels to Yu's, Yu Shi smiled happily, and according to the rules, he added the silver bills, copper, pot cloth, millet for incense ash, eggs, happy fruits, and sprinkled for the tip - osmanthus pot stove, oil cake...... I took it away.

It was only at this time that Qin Daixin knew that the things thrown into the basin had to be given to the midwife, no wonder Fang Yu's eyes lit up like a light bulb when he saw him throwing silver ingots into the basin.

The two silver ingots were twenty taels.

Qin Dai was not annoyed, she smiled and thought to herself, how can there be any money taken for nothing in this world!

ps：

The first more is delivered! There is one more shift in the afternoon. Forgive me for being cheeky and asking for advice~~~
