Chapter 227: Different Paths to the Same End
These two people are Lu Nanxi and her nominal mother, Mrs. Hou's Bai family. Their fake mother and daughter can be regarded as the same destination in another sense.
Let's talk about Lu Nanxi first, when the young lady was pregnant with her child, it was very hard. From the beginning of a month, she began to have a bad day. I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well.
Finally, after three months, I was not happy. This child also began to grow hard.
At that time, when the child was only five months old, Qingniang's belly was terrifyingly big. And this child seems to be absorbing the nutrients of his mother. The bigger the belly, the thinner the green lady becomes.
When the young lady's belly is seven months old, it is already bigger than that of an ordinary woman when she is about to give birth.
Originally, everyone thought that it might be born prematurely at seven months. But no, there is a saying that "seven live, eight do not live." ”
Seeing that the young lady is eight months old, her belly is so big, and she is likely to give birth soon. The stable woman invited by Gu's father was also afraid, and said that she could not guarantee that she would be able to take over life.
Gu's father ran ten miles and eight villages, and asked them all. There is no stable woman who can pack a ticket to ensure that the children and adults are safe.
There is still a stable woman, and I can't bear to see Gu's father like this. Suggest that he can go to the town to find a doctor. This is also what Wen Po proposed when she saw Gu's father, and she really loved Chongqing Niang.
Although the stable women in the countryside say that the delivery skills are not very good. But they look at children, men and women. But there's always one set. When Qingniang was only five or six months old, many people had already seen that nine out of ten of the Qingniang's wombs were baby girls.
A dangerous pregnant woman with a baby girl is something that no one cares about in the countryside. Some people ask Wen Po, but they just ask if there is a way to go to the daughter and stay with the mother.
It's not that they love their daughter-in-law very much, it's just that they think that their daughter is just losing money and goods, and it's useless.
I still have to rely on this mother-in-law to give birth to a son. And marrying a new daughter-in-law will cost a lot of money. Like Gu Nianyuan, men who want to protect the mother and daughter are really rare, especially in the countryside.
And not to mention how much money the doctor spends, most of the doctors nowadays are men, and there are very few men who are willing to let the doctor deliver the baby to his wife. Especially in recent years, in their opinion, it is better to die without chastity.
After Wen Po finished speaking, she actually regretted it a little and felt that she had done too much. Even if this offspring has some feelings for his daughter-in-law, he can't accept this.
But to Wenpo's surprise, Gu's father agreed without hesitation. He asked for the address of Wenpo Medical Center, so he packed up and took Qingniang there. Leaving Wen Po alone, she was full of emotion.
The place where Gu's father went was the Jimin Hall where Miaomiao went before. It's just that Xingran didn't know where it was at that time. However, to Gu's father's surprise, there was actually a female doctor in Jimintang.
The female doctor of Jimintang is very beautiful, but she has a terrifying scar on her face. But even though she was a woman, her medical skills were better than most men. Therefore, everyone respects her.
She helped Qingniang take a look, although it was dangerous to treat her, but she could also give birth smoothly.
The female doctor was also very moved by Gu's father's behavior towards his wife and daughter. She deliberately gave up her yard and let Qingniang stay. So as not to toss, after all, it will take some time for the young lady to give birth.
Unbeknownst to the young lady, there was also a pregnant woman living next door to her. She also came specially for this female doctor. This female doctor is Xingran's aunt, called Xingyun, she used to be a doctor in the palace.
This Xingyun was originally just a palace maid, she secretly worshipped an old lady doctor in the palace with transcendent medical skills as a teacher, and was later admitted to medical school as a medical girl.
Except for the Qing Dynasty, most of the palace maids of the imperial dynasty were actually ordinary people from all over the country.
In addition to the women who boast of their beauty and want to fight to fly on the branches to be a phoenix, the palace maids are all in poor conditions at home, so they come to the palace. Generally, as a palace maid, you will receive a sum of money.
But although this Xingyun was born as a palace maid, she is not a poor person. Although she is very beautiful, she is not a woman with other thoughts.
Xingyun's father is the owner of this Jimin Hall. Jimin Hall has been open for more than 100 years. Her family has a rich heritage, but Xingyun is not satisfied.
Xingyun has been talented and intelligent since she was a child, and she is even more bold. Xingyun's father is a very pedantic person and is unwilling to let his daughter go to the doctor. Xingyun has been secretly learning, but she is not satisfied.
She knew that her father was unwilling to teach her, and she knew about the palace maid by chance, so she was bold enough to enter the palace directly with a few medical notes summarized by herself.
Xingyun was thirteen years old and left home to enter the palace, and this time he entered the palace for ten years. She is very intelligent, and she has learned most of the knowledge of the old lady doctor in ten years.
Xingyun has lofty ambitions, although the palace is full of fine clothes and food. But she studied medicine to cure diseases and save people. There are many imperial doctors in the palace, and she feels that the ordinary people outside need her more.
So by chance, when the old emperor at that time saw her and hinted that she wanted to accept her, she deliberately ruined her face.
Because Xingyun's face was too appalling, the doctor examined it and said that there was no good possibility. The old emperor didn't doubt her, but her honor couldn't stay in the palace.
The old lady doctor is not only highly skilled, but also very open-minded. He did not discriminate against her because of her status as a Xingyun woman, but because of her intelligence and virtue, he valued her very much.
Before leaving, the old lady doctor deliberately handed over the knowledge he had compiled to Xingyun. When Xingyun returned home, her father looked at his daughter's disfigured face and felt sad.
The father is just a little pedantic, but he really loves his daughter. In the past ten years, he has been thinking about Xingyun. I'm always worried about her, whether she eats well in the palace or not, and whether she wears or not. I am afraid that she will anger the nobles and be punished.
Ten years of longing and guilt have made my father reflect a lot. When my daughter came back, she looked like this again. Xingyun also made it clear that he did not want to get married.
Xing's father felt sorry for his daughter, and not only acquiesced to her practicing medicine in Jimin Hall, but also taught her the medical skills of the expert. Xingyun is already a little bit clear, and he has the medical skills taught by the old lady doctor, plus the inheritance of experts.
In a short period of time, her medical skills are not worse than her father. Even in some aspects, she is slightly better than her father. In this way, Xingyun gradually sat down in Jimin Hall, and after she practiced medicine, she also knew many things that she had not been exposed to before.
For example, the status quo of women is getting worse and worse, and more and more women are trapped by the shackles of honor. It's okay to practice medicine in the cloud, but I don't know how to change it.
She can only do her best to help more women who are inconvenient and let the male doctor see the doctor.
Connoisseurs have practiced medicine for generations and are very famous. Xiao Yang's mother took him to recuperate his body, and she also came to the expert.
Mrs. Hou Bai also came here because of her reputation as a connoisseur. It's just that the reason she's here is a little... Inexplicable.
