Chapter 67: Twins
Ruoshu felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and his belly was growing rapidly, and in less than six months, it was about the same size as before the first three gave birth.
I felt that my taste was probably better than usual, so I stopped eating the soup and water brought by Lan Zhi, but I didn't eat it, my stomach was hungry, and the fetus moved very badly.
If the body is not happy, the temper will be bad, and the people in the right courtyard often dare not come out.
Xianya and Zhongzhan didn't come to ask for peace for two days, and on the third day, Xianya finally came with a twist, but she didn't see Ruoshu, Lan Zhi told her that her wife was heavy and rested.
Lan Xuan and Zhong Zhan talked very well, seeing them coming, they came out with things in a hurry, there was food, and there were also gadgets she picked up on the street, Zhong Zhan, who hadn't come for two days, was so happy to see that she couldn't do it, and still pulled her to play and eat happily, and the two of them talked and laughed.
Xianya sat aside, looking at the pile of things on the table, without moving, but her eyes involuntarily swept towards Ruoshu's room, which was very quiet, as if no one was there.
Thinking about it, Xianya lowered her head, bit her lip lightly, and knew in her heart that Ruoshu was deliberately drying her.
Zhonglan woke up from a nap at this time, the nurse hugged it out, and saw that her brother and sister were coming, she was very happy, laughing and shouting to play together, the nurse hugged him to the table, took a gadget and put it in his hand, Zhongzhan saw it, snatched it, and played with herself, the nurse saw Zhonglan's mouth began to pout, and hurriedly took another one and put it in his hand, Zhonglan looked down at this in his hand, and looked at his brother's hand, silently playing with himself, but his eyes were always staring at the thing in his brother's hand.
Ruoshu looked at the three of them in front of the soft couch, obviously they were siblings, but they were like strangers, although they sat together so intimately, there was no mutual love and friendliness.
Thinking of this, although he held a pen in his hand, he had no intention of writing half a word.
Subconsciously touching my stomach, thinking to myself, what will happen after I come out?
Qin Daochuan came over at night and felt that the atmosphere was not right, so his grandmother's instructions just now had to be put in his heart again.
Xianya went back and cried until midnight, and on the second day, her eyes were red and swollen, the old lady noticed it, and after asking, she knew the reason, first reprimanded Xianya, and asked her to apologize to her mother as soon as possible, and then waited until Qin Daochuan came to ask for peace, and asked him to talk about Ruoshu, how could he talk to his daughter like this, like a knife, without half the affection of mother and daughter, how could the younger daughter's family stand it.
When he rested at night, Ruoshu felt that he couldn't breathe when he lay down, so he could only sit on the bed, Ren Lanzhi was stuffed with soft cushions beside him, and he still felt tired, Qin Daochuan sat silently and watched, with a worried face.
Early in the morning of the second day, he asked Qin Dong to quietly find Xu Qiantong, and made an appointment to take Ruoshu to the medicine garden to take him to take a look.
Xianya still brought Zhongzhan to the right courtyard every afternoon to ask for peace, but Ruoshu still avoided it.
The elegant face became more and more ugly, and she sat there like a pin.
Zhong Zhan still had a lot of fun with Lan Xuan.
Zhonglan was still watching the excitement from the side, but because he couldn't speak, couldn't walk, and couldn't eat, he could only do it in a hurry.
Ruoshu was still sitting in front of the soft couch, but he no longer looked outside, writing and drawing, busy with his own affairs.
Ten days later, Qin Daochuan came over in the evening and found an opportunity to say to Ruoshu: "I have made an appointment with Xu Qiantong, he will wait in the medicine garden tomorrow, and after breakfast, I will accompany you over to take a look, his family has several generations of inheritance in gynecology, and knows many secret recipes that others don't know." ”
As usual, Ruoshu would not agree, after all, he was the imperial doctor of He Guifei, but now the days are getting more and more difficult, and she is pregnant with her fourth child, which is completely different from the previous children, and she has no bottom in her heart.
only told Lan Zhi and asked her to accompany her tomorrow.
Early in the morning of the second day, not long after the city gate opened, Qin Daochuan took Qin Dong and Qin Xi and accompanied Ruoshu's chariot and horse out of the city.
Arrived at Xu Qiantong's medicine garden, only to see the suburbs in the early morning, the sun will not come out, the mist is misty, the grass on the field is swaying, the dew is even clearer, crystal clear, if Shu got off the car, took a deep breath, smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, the spirit was lifted, looked at the grass house bamboo fence in front of him, and said: "Good place." ”
Qin Daochuan helped her and walked towards the courtyard, Lan Zhi and Qin Dong followed, Qin Xi stayed in front of the carriage and horses with Sanjiu and Jiaosu, Qin Xi led the horses to graze in front of the wild slope as usual, Sanjiu was tending to the carriage, and Jiaosu stood in front of the carriage and watched around.
Qin Dong and Lan Zhi were half a step away, and the rest of her eyes never left her, and she tried to find an excuse to think about something several times, but she never spoke.
Lan Zhi carried a burden in her arms and silently followed behind Ruoshu, not squinting.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw Xu Qiantong sitting at the table, making tea, waiting for them.
I saw Qin Daochuan supporting a petite woman wearing a water-red cloak, slowly walking on the ridge in the courtyard, the cloak was placed very low, and he couldn't see his face.
Qin Daochuan saw Xu Qiantong and said loudly: "Qiantong, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Xu Qiantong raised the teacup in his hand towards him and took a sip.
Ruoshu heard the words, then raised her head, Qin Daochuan helped her put down the cloak, Ruoshu saw that the small courtyard was full of unknown green grass, some of which were dotted with small flowers, extremely light in color, and they would be missed if they didn't pay attention; Some of the flowers are larger and brighter in color, and the morning dew is a wild one.
Behind the table in front of him sat a young man, dressed in a light gray gown, so plain that there were no lines at the corners, with a handsome face, and dark brown eyes staring at him fixedly, as if he wanted to see through himself.
Ruoshu retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes, looked at his toes, and let Qin Daochuan support him, and slowly walked to the table.
Xu Qiantong looked at the woman in front of her, her abdomen was high and bulging, because she was not tall, she was wearing a water-red cloak, like a watery peach standing in front of her, and couldn't help laughing.
Qin Daochuan didn't know what he meant, for fear that Ruoshu would mind, so he said: "Coriander Tong, let me introduce you to you, this is my inner son." ”
He said to Ruoshu again: "Madam, this is my friend since childhood, Xu Qiantong, who is extremely proficient in medical skills. ”
Ruoshu gently bent his knees and gave a salute.
Xu Qiantong was already laughing, but when he heard Qin Daochuan boasting that he was proficient in medical skills, he couldn't stop it, and said with a smile: "Laughing, Daochuan has always praised me like this, and Madame is used to it." ”
Qin Daochuan didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, and was about to sit down with Ruoshu, but when Lan Zhi saw it, he immediately put the cushion in his hand under to cushion Ruoshu.
Xu Qiantong took out the guy and began to diagnose Ruoshu's pulse, closed his eyes for a long time before he opened his eyes, let go of his hand, and said, "Madame's face is not good, is her sleep bad?" ”
Ruoshu didn't speak, but Lan Zhi behind him said: "Exactly, I don't sleep well every day, I don't eat well, and my spirit is naturally not good." ”
Xu Qiantong glanced at her, but Lan Zhi looked back at him calmly, her eyes full of inquiry.
Xu Qiantong continued: "Can you take a look at Madame's tongue coating below?" ”
Ruoshu opened her mouth and stuck her tongue out, Xu Qiantong looked at her tongue coating, nodded, and said: "The moss is red, the tongue is light purple, some hot, and everything else is fine." ”
He asked, "Does Madame have any previous medical records?" ”
Ruoshu still didn't speak, Lan Zhi let go of the burden she was holding in her arms, there were several booklets in it, she took out one of them and handed it to Xu Qiantong.
Xu Qiantong took a look, and the cover read: The third volume of the thirty years of Dacheng.
When I opened it, it recorded the daily diet by day, which was very detailed, and the opening page read:
Red jujube longan soup contains four Hetian jujubes, six Guangxi longan, two pigeon eggs, one penny of brown sugar, and one penny of rock sugar. The purple clay pot boiled for an hour. There is one jujube left, two longan, and three percent of the soup.
Turning it over is like this, there are soups, there are stews, there are steamed, and there are stir-fried.
After reading it, Xu Qiantong said: "Madame's appetite has decreased, presumably due to poor appetite. ”
Lan Zhi said: "Exactly. ”
Xu Qiantong glanced at her again, and when she saw that she was still staring at him, she asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Lan Zhi handed over three more booklets.
Xu Qiantong looked at it, and the date and the eldest lady, the eldest son, and the third son were written on it, thinking that it was the record of the first three births.
Looking at it carefully, it is still recorded in great detail, from when there is pregnancy to when it gives birth, from pregnancy to the symptoms of childbirth, including Ruyue, everything is recorded on it on a daily basis.
Xu Qiantong read page by page very carefully, Ruoshu sat quietly, Qin Daochuan poured himself a cup of tea for himself, and drank it, Xu Qiantong couldn't help but glance at him, thinking that he had seen him earnestly just now, but now he only cared about drinking tea by himself, completely ignoring whether the people around him were thirsty or not.
After a while, someone at the gate of the courtyard called out to Lan Zhi softly, and when Lan Zhi heard this, she hurriedly walked out, and when she came back, she was holding a tea tray in her hand.
Lan Zhi gently put the tea tray on the table, took out the tea bowl, washed it with hot tea, poured it again, put it in her hand, and after a while, walked to Ruoshu's side and handed the tea bowl over.
Ruoshu took it, took a sip, and handed it back to her.
Xu Qiantong looked at all this with the afterglow in his eyes, thinking that he was even more particular than the one in the palace.
In addition to pouring tea for Ruoshu, Lan Zhi has been standing quietly aside, except for answering Xu Qiantong's questions, she did not move half a minute, nor did she look around, only staring at Xu Qiantong's movements.
After reading it, Xu Qiantong said: "Madame's first three children were all born smoothly, but this one is more difficult because of the twins." ”
Qin Daochuan listened, put down the tea in his hand, and asked, "Twins?" ”
Xu Qiantong glanced at Ruoshu and said, "Madame should have felt it, this time is different from usual." ”
Ruoshu nodded.
Lan Zhi asked: "Dare to ask a famous doctor, how to regulate in order to give birth smoothly?" ”
Xu Qiantong looked at her and said, "Just calm down and wait for childbirth with peace of mind." ”
looked at Ruoshu again and said: "Madam, in the future, try to go out as little as possible, recuperate more in the house, usually walk around for half an hour in the morning and evening, and eat more than usual, so that the child in the womb can grow well." ”
He turned his head to look at Lan Zhi and commanded: "I see that you remember it in detail in the booklet, and your daily conditioning is also very appropriate, just follow the above notes as usual." ”
Lan Zhi nodded.
Qin Daochuan saw that he finished speaking, and asked, "What else should I pay attention to when giving birth?" ”
Xu Qiantong said: "Twins are indeed rare, when the time comes, you ask Qin Dong to come to me according to the old rules, and I will go." ”
Qin Daochuan nodded worriedly.
