Bactria Yude seven years

This year, since the opening of spring to the summer in May, there has not been a drop of rain in the north and south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Yude and the ministers are in a hurry, Emperor Yude is praying for rain many times and can't, the emperor from the Chang Yan ceremony to the big Yan ceremony, and then to fasting in January many times on the table to pray for rain in the sky, until the three sins of their own edict, all did not see the slightest raindrop.

It is strange to say, until several princes of Emperor Yude, after fasting and praying for rain with Emperor Yude, finally rained from the sky, and people all over the world said that one of the princes must be the true heir of the Son of Heaven, and it will work if you try it! Jiangnan and Jiangbei, most of the rain is abundant, and the rainfall is just right, but there is a small county in the southeast that does not stop raining, and this county is Xingxian.

To say that this Xing County, located in the southeast, although it is not a rich place, but it is also the land of fish and rice, but this place is like the Jade Emperor's toy, always tricked by God, the wind and rain are smooth elsewhere, here is not waterlogging or drought, other places are drought and floods, here are full of fish and rice, other places are full of spring flowers, here is spring and snow...... Every time it is reported to the imperial court, the officials of the household department feel that it is a local lie, but every time the emperor sends the governor to check or sympathize with it, it is always true, and finally, I have to attribute the county government office here to the imperial court. Xingxian County's annual silver and grain are also independently registered in the household department, and everything belongs to the public. As for conscription, military service is also directly linked to the military department and household department. However, there is only one point attributed to the locality, that is, the civil and military examinations and the township examinations and the general examinations are attributed to the localities, and there is no preferential treatment.

Speaking of which, Xingxian is also a strange county in the world. Because the appointment of the magistrate is in the hands of the imperial court, the officials of Xingxian County are the fastest to rise, and those officials who want to serve the imperial court have praised Xingxian County as a fragrant dumpling, while those officials who want to make oil and water are far away from Xingxian County, and they are afraid to avoid it. Corrupt officials don't go, this is a good thing for Xingxian, at least not like other places, there is a matter of scraping the ground, and the people are still rich and not having a hard time.

But this Yude seven years, the people of Xingxian County have suffered a lot, after a thunderstorm, the rain in Xingxian County has not stopped, no matter how big or small, it has been raining like this, the light rain is okay, the people can still live, the heavy rain has closed the door of every household, and they dare not go out, because the water of the Spring River has risen, and they are afraid of being washed away by the water outside. But since the emperor's house prayed for rain and got the rain, this day was like tearing a big hole, the heavy rain was pouring, the rain was like a drain, it has been more than half a month in a row, many farmhouses and livestock houses collapsed, the embankment was washed out in many places, and there were also a lot of land along the gap in the embankment that was washed away by the rain, not to mention the crops in the field, the seedlings planted in early spring, except for the washed away, the rest were all watered by the rain by the roots, I am afraid that the rain will stop and will not be used.

Xingxian county master Zhu Xun is even more anxious, Xingxian is not a rich county, only enough food and clothing, originally relied on the sky to eat, now this heavy rain tossed, I am afraid that the next year will be poor, really anxious county master.

At this time, Zhu Xun was organizing people to drain the water, and several masters of the staff were accompanying the county's archmage and goddess, praying for the blessing of the county, praying that God would quickly collect the rain and adjust the wind and rain.

And at this time, in the back hall of the county government, the county lady is also sweating profusely, busy with the outside group, because the second wife of the lord is about to give birth, and the county government back hall has been leaking rain in many places after days of heavy rain, and the second lady has moved to the second office to live in order to protect the fetus. Because the rain does not stop, the family has not seen the vegetables for several days, everyone relies on the dried radish porridge to survive, only the pregnant second lady still has some pickled meat to accompany the meal every day, maybe the food is too light, the little guy in the stomach of the second lady can't stay, but he chose to come out in advance at this time, and the second lady is about to give birth.

Speaking of Zhu Xun's two wives, it is quite a bit to say, Mrs. Zheng because of the early years with the grandfather, suffered from the bitter cold, only gave birth to a son, and then can no longer give birth, now the continuation of the incense has to count on the second lady, the second lady's child is the first child after marrying the door, is extremely important, all say that the woman has a smooth birth, as long as the baby is successfully produced, the incense of the Zhu family's room is still worried about not being continued? So everyone has great hopes for the second lady's birth.

Zhu Xun's wife is the eldest daughter of Jingzhao Yin Wengji, and the name of the boudoir is like jade, and there are eight out of twenty. Speaking of Mrs. Ruyu, we have to talk about the origin of the two Zhu Weng families. The ancestors of Zhu Weng's two families are fellow villagers, and they have always had friendships, and in the grandparents of Zhu Weng's two families, the two sons of the two families ranked first in the same year in the imperial examination in the same year, and entered the official in the same year, plus the friendship of fellow villagers, they got married to Jinlan. In contrast, the Zhu family's family history is deeper, the old lady of the Zhu family and the first rank 13th, the Weng family second, thirty-one, the old lady Zhu is more reused by the imperial court, because the two families have the friendship of the same townsman and the good of Jinlan, the old lady Zhu has been supporting the Weng family, because the ancestors of the Weng family have been doing business for generations, the old lady Weng is good at economic ability, the old lady Zhu has repeatedly recommended the old lady Weng as an official, the old lady Weng has lived up to expectations to display his talents, and the Weng family has also been reused by the imperial court. The friendship is deep, and when it comes to Zhu Xun's generation, he also has a direct in-law, and the friendship is even deeper. Although the Zhu Weng family is not a prominent family, they have also served the imperial court for four generations and gradually become the main force of Qingliu. Needless to say, Mrs. Ruyu's status in the Zhu family is needless to say, just because she gave birth to her eldest son, she has already sat firmly on the throne of Mrs. Ruyu, and her husband and children are naturally not a problem. When he learned that he could not regenerate, for the future of the Zhu Weng family, and for the continuation of the incense of the Zhu family's house, he did not shy away from openly renewing the strings for his husband, such a bearing undoubtedly sat firmly on the throne of the wife of the Zhu family.

Zhu Xun's second wife, Wan Qian's family, whose name is Qingxuan, although it is not the main room, but it is also quite rooted, and she is the sister of Wan Qian's family in Guanlong's family, and the reason why she is committed to marrying Zhu Xun as a second room has three reasons, one is that the Guanlong family has been suppressed since the beginning of Emperor Longqing in the previous dynasty, and Wan Qian's family is the last of several large households in Guanlong, and the impact is the heaviest. The second is that Zhu Xun once saved Miss Qingxuan's life, and Qingxuan secretly promised that Feiqing would not marry. The third reason, it is very bloody to say, the Wan Qian family in Miss Qingxuan was born, to the child to approve the fate, the fortune teller said that in the future she will fill a house for a Qingliu scholar, this Qingliu scholar has an immeasurable future, will become the leader of the Qingliu, Wan Qian clan will also be on this Qingliu upstart resurrection, prosperous again. Therefore, Miss Yan, a big family in Guanlong, committed herself to marry Zhu Xun, and in the eyes of outsiders, Wan Qian's family was a complete failure. I don't know why. Several leaders of the Guanlong family, the eldest grandson, the Xun family, and the Guo family, even despised the Wan Qi clan to the extreme, and reprimanded and humiliated them many times at the gathering of the gate valve.

Now the one who is about to give birth is this Miss Qingxuan, Zhu Xun's second wife.

The second yashi of the county government came out of the woman's cry of pain, several stable mothers and grandmothers were also busy before and after, and the maid and mother-in-law were even more busy with their feet facing the sky, a basin of hot water was brought into the second ya, and a basin of blood water was brought out, tossing for a night, but still not giving birth, the louder the rain outside, the more tragic the screams of the second lady in the room, several times, the second lady fainted in pain, and the stable mother-in-law and the maid mother-in-law had been working hard for almost 20 hours, and still did not see the second lady's amniotic water break.

In the main hall of the second ya, the lady was in charge, and several Lang Zhong were waiting to prepare for the production of medicines that could happen to various situations.

"A few doctors, do you think you have a self-delivery?" Madame asked.

"Madam, Dr. Zhang and I have prepared oxytocic medicine, but listening to the situation described by Mrs. Wen, it should not be time to take the medicine yet." Lang Zhong, who thought he had a white beard, said.

"Not yet? My family's Qingjia screams so badly, can't it be used? ”

"Madam, if you don't mind, I want to take the pulse of the second lady and see what the situation is." The one who spoke thought that the young Lang Zhong looked like he was only in his thirties.

Madame hesitated, looked at the other Lang Zhong, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, patted the armrest of the chair, and stood up.

"Doctor Ke, then there will be labor."

Saying that, Mrs. Ruyu asked the maid to erect a curtain in front of the second lady's bed to avoid the difference between men and women, and then asked Ke Langzhong to enter the delivery room to diagnose the pulse of the second lady.

Ke Langzhong cut the pulse of the second lady, and asked about the situation of the second lady in the tent of the mother-in-law and grandmothers, and after about half a pillar of incense, Ke Langzhong stood up and signaled that the diagnosis had been completed, and then exited the inner room.

"Madam, Xiaosheng already knows the situation of the second lady, the second lady should not be full-term, right?"

Madame Ruyu nodded.

"Recent diets? Isn't it too light? ”

Madame Ruyu nodded again.

"Okay." As he spoke, Dr. Ke brushed and wrote a line of words on the paper, and after writing, he picked it up and handed it to his wife.

"Madam, all the seniors of Caolu, I have cut the pulse for the second lady just now, the second lady's body is empty, there is a blood deficiency, and it has been rainy recently, and the diet is not adjusted, and the weather is cold."

Several doctors nodded frequently.

"We just considered the prescription for inducing labor together, and Xiaosheng felt that we should add a little bit to it, and ask a few seniors to take a look."

As he spoke, Dr. Ke showed everyone the name of the pill, and all the people sitting nodded frequently, and a few of them smiled with satisfaction.

Mrs. Ruyu hurriedly picked up the prescription in her hand, only blindly "cooked" and a line of small characters, "with two catties of sauce elbow", Mrs. Ruyu also smiled when she saw that line of small words. It turned out that the second lady was hungry.

As he spoke, he hurriedly sent people to buy medicine and elbows, and when he thought that he hadn't seen meat for a long time, he asked a few little guys to buy a whole piece of pig and two leg of mutton. sent the little maid, and asked the mother-in-law to go to the backyard to catch the old hen, ready to give the second lady the stewed old hen soup at any time.

When the little girl grabbed it back and bought the elbow, Mrs. Ruyu quickly let the mother-in-law cut it and brought it into the delivery room, the hot aroma of the elbow woke up the second lady who fainted again, and the maid hurriedly fed the second lady food and elbows, and the mother-in-law and grandmothers also followed the fragrant and beautiful meal, and the elbows really had a miraculous effect, and the second lady's face turned ruddy, and her hands and feet were slightly hot.

Half an hour after the meal, the maid fed the second lady with oxytocic medicine before feeding, and there was no time for a stick of incense, so she listened to the steady grandmother in the delivery room.

"It's broken, it's broken! Amniotic water breaks! Hurry up and bring hot water! Madame, work hard! ”

With this voice, the whole house was in a hurry again. But this time, unlike before, about an hour later, a loud cry came out.

"Raw, born!!" The maid and the woman all screamed, and there was no busy time for two days and two nights.

"Boys and girls?!" Mrs. Ruyu asked eagerly through the door panel.

"Mrs. Hui, it's a daughter!". Grandma Wen's laughing voice came out.

"How is the second lady?" Mrs. Ruyu continued to ask.

Mrs. Ruyu's words came out, and there was no sound in the delivery room......
