Chapter 50: It's Hard to Be a Woman
An Manyue listened to Ning Yongchuan's suggestion, and at this time he seriously considered how to develop the Ning family's career in Fucheng, no one would be too short of money.
An Manyue thought about going before, but he didn't have a good idea yet.
When Nian came to find An Manyue to play, he saw An Manyue sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard with a melancholy expression, and asked worriedly: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable here, why don't I take you to Qing~ Lou for a walk?" ”
Ning Yongchuan, who came out of the house, happened to hear Nian's words, his whole face was completely dark, and cold air was exuding from his body.
Niu, who had always been unresponsive, looked at Ning Yongchuan suspiciously, his mind was spinning very fast at this moment, and he asked softly, "Sister-in-law, did you quarrel with Brother Ning?" ”
An Manyue didn't notice that Ning Yongchuan came out, sighed and said, "No, I'm just thinking about what to do to make a living." ”
Ning Yongchuan walked to the door leading to the front yard of the Gu family, thought about it, turned back to An Manyue and said, "It's not okay to go to Qing~ Lou." ”
"Oh." An Manyue responded perfunctorily, she is only interested in making money now, as for the rest, she is not interested at all.
Nian's face suddenly turned red with shame, she could be considered to have reacted at this time, why did Brother Ning have a gloomy face, and dared to be affectionate because she said that she was going to take her sister-in-law to Qing~ Lou.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Ning seems to be angry with me." Nian looked at An Manyue with a broken face, and said aggrievedly, she is now more worried about whether her monthly money will be gone.
"No, he's good-tempered." An Manyue hurriedly opened her mouth to comfort Nian, Nian's is here, she doesn't want to make a living.
Nian Shi was not comforted at all at this time, she drooped her head and said weakly: "Sister-in-law, you play mahjong so well, why don't you play mahjong to make money?" ”
"After all, it's not a proper livelihood." An Manyue felt that she was really lucky to make so much money here twice, and if she was back in the idea, even if she was calculating, it would be impossible to earn so much silver.
Hearing An Manyue's words, Nian nodded approvingly, and said, "Indeed, mahjong is good as a pastime. Sister-in-law, what will you do? ”
"Heal?" An Manyue drooped her face and said softly, "Other than that, I won't be anything else." ”
As long as I think of the fact that there are men as doctors in this social medical center, An Manyue is very congested, and this sexism is also terrible!
"Heal?" Nian's eyes lit up and looked at An Manyue, gasped, and said, "Sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?" ”
An Manyue nodded with a smile and said, "Naturally, it's true, what's there to lie about." ”
"Sister-in-law, you are really amazing, not to mention that you can play mahjong well, and you will be cured, let me tell you, I have a good sister who is going to give birth at this time, and I heard Wen Po say that the two children in her belly are not in the right position," Nian Shi looked at An Manyue excitedly, and said cracklingly, "Their family used their relationship to invite the imperial doctor in the capital to show her body, but the imperial doctor in the capital couldn't help it, she is now crying every day except crying." ”
When Nian Shi said this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "When a woman gives birth to a child, she walks in front of the ghost gate, and people can't stand it when they give birth to a child, she still has two children, before you and Brother Ning came, I often went to see her, but now I don't dare to go." ”
After saying this, Nian's voice gradually faded, and he said in disappointment: "Sister-in-law, do you think she can still be saved?" ”
Nian originally thought that she might not be able to say that An Manyue had a way, but when she thought of what the imperial doctor said, she lost confidence again.
"I'd like to see her herself." An Manyue is not sure if she can help, but if she has a caesarean section, she will definitely be able to do it, but in this era of backward thinking, she is not sure if other people can accept caesarean section.
Nian's eyes lit up again, and he looked at An Manyue intently, and was speechless for a long time with excitement, and after a long while, he asked, "Really, really?" ”
"Hmm."
An Manyue's biggest concern now is that Nian's friends don't believe what she says.
"Nacheng, sister-in-law, I'll post to her now."
Nian Shi happily ran towards the front yard of the Gu family, leaving behind a series of brass bell-like laughter.
Seeing that Nian was gone, An Manyue raised her feet and entered the room, sat down in front of the table, took out a piece of paper, and began to recall in her mind what she needed for a caesarean section.
An Manyue was writing the name of the surgical supplies on the paper, and when she wrote about the sheep intestines, the pen in her hand stopped, her brows frowned slightly, she should not become a stable woman who specializes in delivering babies in the future!
But now she has no other way to go.
An Manyue drew a structural diagram of what she would need, just in case.
Just as An Manyue was drawing a picture, Nian ran in happily from outside, saw the picture drawn by An Manyue, and asked curiously, "This is?" ”
"Go back and find a craftsman to build it." After An Manyue finished drawing, he looked at the picture in his hand and said, "I hope I don't need this thing." ”
Nian pulled over the chair and sat beside An Manyue, holding his chin in both hands, puzzled: "Sister-in-law, what is this for?" ”
"If your friend's fetal position can come over smoothly, that's great, if the two children can't come through, you can only have a caesarean section." An Manyue saw that Nian's jaw was about to fall off, and explained the simplicity of the caesarean section to Nian's.
Nian's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked worriedly: "Sister-in-law, if you make a hole in your stomach, won't that person die?" ”
"No, it won't." An Manyue said, "Just wait until the child is taken out and sewn up the belly." ”
When Nian heard this, he was still a little confused, leaning back in his chair and not coming back to his senses for a long time.
After a while, a little maid came in and sent the Zhai family's post.
"My good sister said let's come over tomorrow afternoon." Nian still believed in An Manyue at first, but he was a little hesitant at this time.
"Hmm." An Manyue understood Nian's worries, and said with a smile, "If you are worried, I will help her correct the fetal position first, and caesarean section is just the last option." ”
Nian sneered, she regretted it a little.
The next afternoon.
Nian came over to ask An Manyue to go to Zhai's house together, and both of them wore women's clothes this time and went out to get into the carriage.
Nian's today wears gold and silver, and he always has to dress appropriately when he visits other people's homes, what surprises Nian's is that An Manyue is still the same as usual, with only a hosta on his head, not only the whole person but people can't take their eyes off.
"Sister-in-law, you look good today." Nian Shi looked at An Manyue intently, today's sister-in-law looks much better than usual, and she looks very tender, just like a little girl of fifteen or sixteen.
An Manyue smiled indifferently and said, "You only look good today, and your makeup is also good." ”
Makeup?
Only then did Nian Shi notice that the makeup on An Manyue's face was completely different from the usual light makeup, and the slightly reddened eyes seemed to be full of vitality, especially when An Manyue smiled, people couldn't take their eyes off it.
"Sister-in-law, your eyes are red today." Nian Shi was like a curious baby at the moment, and asked, "Did you rub rouge on your eyelids?" ”
"It's eye shadow, I made it myself," An Manyue knew that people in this era would only draw their eyebrows and lips, and close their eyes slightly, "Look! ”
"Oh my God!" Nian Shi was so shocked that she covered her mouth with those fleshy hands, and the bright light on An Manyue's eyelids was like the stars of the night, she slowly lowered her hand and gasped, "Sister-in-law, this eyeshadow is too good-looking, you were still worried about not knowing what to do to make a living yesterday, and you want me to say, you make these eyeshadows and sell them, and you can make a lot of money!" ”
An Manyue smiled, she thought that there was such a thing as eyeshadow in this world, but she didn't think that there was none, she was a little worried that the heroine would guess her identity if she knew about it.
However, An Manyue was quickly relieved, and on the night she watched the lanterns, Su Wan'er wiped her eyeshadow.
"Then I'll go back and try." An Manyue thought that the shop couldn't just have one color of eyeshadow, she always had to make something.
"Sister-in-law, you can make one for me first, I also want to clean up and look better every day." Nian looked at An Manyue pitifully, and said in a good voice.
"Okay." An Manyue responded with a smile.
The two of them talked and laughed and arrived at the place, Nian handed the concierge post, and walked in with An Manyue.
The Zhai Mansion was twice as large as the Gu Mansion, and a girl dressed in green came to greet them.
Biluo is Ji's dowry maid, with a calm temperament and beautiful appearance, and said with a light smile: "My wife knew that the two were coming, so she ordered the slave maid to pick up the person early. ”
"How's Ran'er?" The Ran'er in Nian's mouth is Ji Ran'er, the wife of Zhai Mansion.
Hearing this, Biluo's eyes darkened, and she responded in a low voice: "My wife has been unable to eat recently, and she has also explained everything in the future." ”
"Nonsense, explain what's going on, with my sister-in-law here, Ran'er will be fine!" Nian's eyes were red.
No one spoke anymore.
When they arrived at the door of Ji's house, Biluo opened the curtain and led Nian and An Manyue in.
It's summer, it's hot, but the house is still hung with heavy curtains, the light is very dark, and the house has a strange smell.
An emaciated young woman sat on a bed, covered with a thick quilt.
She was about eighteen ~ nine years old, her face was gray, her lips were dry, and this thin woman was none other than Ji.
"Ran'er, how did you make yourself look like this?" As soon as Nian saw Ji, tears fell, and he stepped forward to sit on the edge of the bed, holding Ji's hand lightly.
"It's just a matter of getting through the days," Ji Shi had already been mentally prepared when she knew that she was not saved, and her good husband had now begun to ponder the choice of a new lady, "It doesn't matter if it's good-looking, it's ugly, no one is looking at it anymore." ”
Biluo moved over a stool, and asked An Manyue to sit down.
Ji Shi realized that he was still a guest at this time, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, sit down, I don't remember anything in my brain, I neglected my sister-in-law, and I asked my sister-in-law not to be surprised." ”
An Manyue said "thank you", she could see that Ji really didn't want to live......
