Chapter 178: The eldest lady has a difficult birth
"White girl, the slave maid will send you back to the guest room to rest first, the eldest lady is in labor today, and the lord is afraid that he will not be able to see you."
A little maid who accompanied her led Bai Qianning towards a magnificent mansion in front of her. This little girl's name is Gui Zhi, and her name is very consistent with the identity of the Medicine King Valley, and she has taken good care of Bai Qianning along the way, so it can be seen that the Medicine King Valley trainer is also quite well-behaved.
Bai Qianning followed behind her, and soon entered a side courtyard next to the main house, where all kinds of flowers could be seen everywhere, and the rhizomes or flowers and fruits of each one were extremely rare medicinal materials. In comparison, those few cloves are a little too ordinary.
Bai Qianning stopped, looked at the cloves and asked Guizhi: "I see that the plants in this courtyard are rare and rare medicinal materials in the world, how can I plant cloves, the most common medicinal materials, in the most conspicuous place?" ”
Hearing this, Gui Zhi was surprised that Bai Qianning also knew medicine, so he turned his head and patiently explained: "The girl doesn't know, this clove is the name of our seventeenth lady, and she also likes this flower the most. ”
"Lady Seventeen?"
Bai Qianning seemed to hear a thunderstorm on a sunny day, and sighed in his heart: I still marry so many ladies at a young age, this medicine king is really old and strong, and he is full of energy!
And Gui Zhi didn't notice the change in Bai Qianning's complexion, nodded to himself, and continued: "There are also thirty-five ladies and forty-one ladies who are happy, but the medicine king said that they are all pregnant with female fetuses, which is not so expensive. ”
Rumble~~
Bai Qianning only felt that there was another thunderclap above his head, but he didn't want to lose his temper in front of the attendants, so he could only suppress the consternation in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's really to congratulate the Medicine King, but I don't know how many wives and children the Medicine King has in his old man's family?" ”
"Oh, plus the new ones who entered the door the day before yesterday, there are just fifty ladies, children, slaves and maids are not clear, the ladies have always been unhappy when they give birth to daughters, and they don't like to bring them out to meet people, I think there will be no less than a hundred, but the son is only one eldest son who is about to get married, but fortunately, when the seventeenth lady is born, there will be another one."
Gui Zhi didn't seem to be very evasive, it was like pouring beans, and after a while, he explained the wonders of the Medicine King Valley cleanly.
Bai Qianning was surprised, but she also felt worthless for the hundred or so unfavored young ladies, sure enough, born in the wrong era, even in such a powerful family, it is hard.
"Oh, yes."
Bai Qianning suddenly remembered something, and then continued: "But I heard that your Medicine King has a daughter who almost married the Seventh Prince back then, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Miss Bai is talking about Miss Wei'er?" Gui Zhi's voice suddenly became extremely low, and he looked left and right for a long time before pulling Bai Qianning's sleeves and saying, "Let's go into the house first, enter the house and say." ”
"Oh, yes!"
Bai Qianning saw Gui Zhi's frightened face, so he could only follow her into the bedroom. Although this bedroom is not very gorgeous, it is very fresh and elegant, and the antique tables, chairs and drapery make people feel refreshed when they look at it.
Gui Zhi led Bai Qianning to sit down, put her burden on the table, and made sure that there was no one outside, so she lowered her voice and said: "Since Miss Bai is here to prepare furniture for the eldest prince, then she only needs to take care of the affairs of the eldest prince, as for Miss Wei'er's affairs, it is best not to inquire, especially the marriage contract between her and the seventh prince back then." ”
"Why?"
Bai Qianning still wanted to ask, but when she saw Gui Zhi's embarrassed face, she refused to say, so she could only give up.
Because of the whole day and two nights of travel, Bai Qianning also felt really tired, so he motioned Gui Zhi to retreat, and then went into the bedroom to rest.
As soon as her head hit the pillow, she quickly fell asleep and entered the space.
In the space, Ye Tan had already packed boxes of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, and the entire six large wooden boxes were full.
Seeing Bai Qianning coming, Ye Tan immediately ran over anxiously and asked, "Has Mu Yan been rescued?" Is the prince okay? ”
"I don't know yet, I just arrived in the Medicine King Valley at this time, and I can't get news from them, but don't worry, I believe in the ability of the prince and Mu Yan, they will definitely be fine."
Bai Qianning comforted Ye Tan, even if she herself was in turmoil at the moment, she could only pretend to be calm.
Ye Tan looked at her with a determined expression, and finally stabilized his mind a little, walked to the soft couch and sat down, and muttered: "If he can return safely this time, I will marry him." ”
Hearing this, Bai Qianning also smiled with relief, it seems that this girl has finally seen her heart clearly through this matter.
She nodded and said, "Okay, when Mu Yan returns safely, I will ask the prince to personally marry you." ”
After staying in the space for two hours, Bai Qianning and Ye Tan turned over the harvested land again, went to the warehouse to find more than 20 kinds of seeds, wrote labels, and scattered them in the ground, she wanted to see what the rest of the seeds could grow in addition to the two seeds planted before, if these seeds could grow high-quality medicinal materials, then there would be no need to go through a lot of trouble to buy the medicine for military supplies in the future. It can not only avoid risks, but also save money.
The seeds were sprinkled, and Bai Qianning was watering it, when he was woken up by the noise outside the house. Fortunately, Ye Tan was not surprised by this, and picked up the water scoop on the ground and continued to water it.
Bai Qianning sat up from the bed, put on his coat and walked towards the door.
"What's going on? Why are you panicking? Bai Qianning tidied up her clothes and opened the door and asked.
Gui Zhi had been guarding the door, and when he saw her come out, he replied: "It is said that the eldest lady has a difficult birth, and the lord, the four elders, and the twelve healers have nothing to do about it, and now the lives of the eldest lady and the young lady are not guaranteed." ”
"Can you take me to see it?"
Bai Qianning didn't think about it before asking, after all, she studied medicine, and it was impossible for her to die without helping, but she also knew very well in her heart that the Medicine King Valley represented the strongest medical technology in today's era, and they couldn't do it, so it would be difficult to help if they went.
When Gui Zhi heard that she was going, he quickly stopped her and said, "White girl, what are you going to do?" What if you go to something that the Lord can't do? ”
"Then you won't watch your eldest lady and unborn child die like this, right?" Bai Qianning was a little anxious, but she also felt that she was too abrupt, so she immediately explained: "Good girl, I am also a practitioner of medicine, and I am the best at obstetrics and gynecology, if you take me there, your eldest lady may be saved." ”
"Really?"
Gui Zhi saw that Bai Qianning was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it was really difficult to associate her with a doctor, let alone be good at it. After all, in the Medicine King Valley, anyone of her age can only be an apprentice, and no matter how talented she is, she can't be on her own.
Just looking at Bai Qianning's determined expression at the moment, Gui Zhi was a little shaken again. She was right, if she didn't go, the eldest lady and the child would have only a dead end, and if she was taken, there might be a glimmer of life. The eldest lady is the most kind and gentle on weekdays, and as a girl, she never wants to watch the eldest lady die like this.
Therefore, Gui Zhi finally nodded: "You come with me!" ”
Bai Qianning followed Gui Zhi all the way to the cabinet near the main hall, and after a while, he arrived at a solemn courtyard, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he could hear the weak shouts inside, coupled with the people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, the atmosphere seemed extremely depressing.
Gui Zhi stopped and said to the grandmother guarding the door of the dormitory: "Can you please tell Mama Zhang to pass the word, the lord invited the white girl who made furniture for the eldest young master to see the master, maybe she can have a way......
Before Gui Zhi finished speaking, he was pushed and shoved by Mama Zhang and took a few steps back, but fortunately, Bai Qianning was behind to help him not fall.
Mama Zhang grew strong, Xu was afraid that the loud voice would anger the people in the door, so she walked down the steps towards Gui Zhi and advised: "You girl, do you still have some eyesight, when is this time, and you dare to touch the moldy head?" Beware of the Medicine King's anger and feeding you to the centipedes, go back quickly. ”
After listening to the words of the Nine Poison Pool, Gui Zhi swallowed his saliva, obviously cowardly for a few points, but he was still unwilling, and continued: "This white girl said that she is proficient in obstetrics and gynecology, so she asked me to bring her to Madame for treatment......
