The day is as fast as turning a book, the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air is thick and faint, and when the day gradually warms up, the delivery period is coming in the blink of an eye.

"My sister is now comparable to Mrs. Wen." Chora joked.

"It's incomparable, Wen Po didn't learn from reading books, but accumulated experience." Zheng Lingyi said seriously, still working hard with a pen in his hand, which made Qiaoluo laugh and laugh.

Zheng Lingyi read a basket of medical books about women's childbirth, and the important points were written on the paper in small letters, the paper was about a finger wide when it was tired, and Lu Nong looked dizzy, saying that Zheng Lingyi's notes could be published in another book.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the water room, Lu Nong cooked a cup of wolfberry cassia tea soup, thinking that if Zheng Lingyi drank it, he could also protect his eyes and not make his eyes too sour and tired.

Zheng Lingyi took a sip, and Cassia had an aroma almost like rice and wheat, which made her feel refreshed, and said, "It would be better to mix some hairpins into it, I remember that there seems to be some in the jar." ”

Zheng Lingyi has read not a thousand but hundreds of medical books over the years, plus she doesn't understand anything, so she will write to ask Gansong for advice.

Lu Nong took out the hairpin chrysanthemum according to his words, the hairpin chrysanthemum is not as good as cassia seeds, and the medicinal properties of the medicine soaked in hot water will naturally precipitate, and there is no need to boil it.

"Today, the Wang family came to hire, saying that they also brought a pair of tiger bones with full beards and tails to make a dowry, and it was very lively outside, didn't my sister go to see it?"

Qiaoluo saw that she was holding a book like an old pedant all day long, and she was always a little distressed, and she always wanted to lead Zheng Lingyi out to play.

"I'm not going, Lu Nong, or you can take Zheng Changchang to take a look. I saw her suffocating in the room, her face suffocating. ”

Zheng Lingyi took a sip of tea and drank it, and the book was temporarily put aside, which could be regarded as resting.

Although Zheng Changchang has a quiet temperament, she is still a child in the end, so she is naturally not as good as Zheng Lingyi, and she can sit upright like an old monk for several hours, and she doesn't feel tired or bored.

Zheng Lingyi watched Lu Nong and Zheng Changchang go out, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly the smile condensed slightly, revealing a thoughtful look, and then said: "Qiaoluo, you just said that the Wang family brought a pair of tiger bones to hire?" ”

Qiao Luo didn't see it in person, but he just heard the maidservants pass on an ear.

Tiger bones are not uncommon, if you are willing to spend some money, you can also buy miscellaneous bones and bones in the pharmacy, I heard Qiao Luo say, Gansong has a jar of tiger bone wine that is quite old.

The reason why Zheng Lingyi felt strange was because this tiger bone was a complete pair, and even the phalanges were complete.

The Wang family was also proud, and publicized it in the front yard, so it soon spread to the back house.

"How can the dowry be so expensive and so fanfare?" Zheng Lingyi was puzzled.

Qiao Luo didn't have as much thought as Zheng Lingyi, but said: "The Wang family attaches great importance to the ninth sister, and it is also good news for us to attach so much importance to this family business." ”

What she said was true, Zheng Lingyi frowned slightly, stretched out again, lowered her eyes and continued to read.

The medical books are complicated and boring, and I can't find any fun in them, and I can't afford to be able to read them one after another.

After a few more days, Aunt Jiang's delivery date was closer, and Lu Shi didn't seem to remember Aunt Jiang at all, so he didn't ask half a sentence, but Qiao Zhu said that Wen Po lived in the house and only waited for her aunt to give birth.

This news is really worrying, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

The day when Zheng Yangyang passed through the door was somewhat close to Aunt Jiang's delivery date.

Zheng Lingyi was afraid that if the days collided together, there would be a lot of people and it would be easy to make a mess. Every morning, I have to check the things to be used in production, what scissors, clean cotton cloth and copper basins, all have two copies.

Although there were a few pain-relieving pills, he didn't dare to publicize them, so he asked Qiaoluo to hide them secretly.

Zheng Lingyi had already greeted Zheng Yangyang, saying that she would be in a temporary panic, and she would stay with Aunt Jiang, but she would let Lu Nong take Zheng Changchang to congratulate her.

Zheng Yangyang is now in a good mood when the happy event is approaching and the auspicious stars are shining, and he is naturally very good at talking, so he responded happily, and asked people to send Zheng Lingyi some happy cakes.

Night and day have rotated a few times, and now it is time for Zheng Yangyang to escape from this cage.

"Fifteen, aren't you really going to take a look?" Aunt Jiang looked at her daughter waiting by her side, and said softly and apologetically.

"Don't go. Zheng Lingyi said very simply, his tone was light but irrefutable.

Aunt Jiang has been in pain several times these days, and she is about to give birth, how could Zheng Lingyi leave at this time.

Although her acupuncture skills are not as good as Zheng Changchang's, she also made many small clothes for her future brothers or sisters.

Seeing that her embroidered Baifu belly pocket was good, Aunt Jiang also asked her to make one more for Zheng Susu, and now it is the intersection of spring and summer, Zheng Susu seems to be a little bad these days, and it looks very distressing.

Zheng Lingyi lowered his head and touched the word Fu on the embroidered bandage, not noticing the painful look on Aunt Jiang's face.

"Uh, um, fifteen." Aunt Jiang groaned weakly and painfully, and Zheng Lingyi suddenly left the embroidery bandage and threw herself in front of the bed.

"It's almost time." Aunt Jiang said with difficulty.

Although it has already been passed once, Zheng Lingyi is still flustered, after all, giving birth to a child is not an easy and simple matter.

Qiao Luo also rushed over when he heard the sound, and said hesitantly: "Sister, do you want to go and ask Wen Po?" ”

Zheng Lingyi was still hesitating, but saw Qiaoluo's eyes suddenly widen, Zheng Lingyi turned around and saw Qiao Zhu standing by the door.

Qiao Zhu saw that Zheng Lingyi and Qiao Luo looked weird, so she casually put down the distributed Xiyuan and said to the two: "Auntie is about to give birth?" ”

Zheng Lingyi was silent, while Qiao Luo opened his mouth and uttered a bunch of meaningless words.

But Aunt Jiang couldn't bear the pain, and she couldn't hide the pain at all.

Qiao Zhu glanced at the door of the inner room, and didn't plan to go in, but said, "In that case, the slave maid will go and inform Madame, and go to ask Wen Po on the way." ”

"There is labor." Zheng Lingyi spoke, but his voice was inexplicably dry, as if he was afraid.

Qiao Zhu didn't say much and quickly left.

Zheng Lingyi and Qiaoluo hurriedly went in, asked Aunt Jiang to take the ginseng tablets, and stuffed a clean white cloth in her mouth in order to conserve her energy and not exhaust herself.

The two took stock of the things they needed to use, and Qiao Luo went to the water room to boil two large pots of hot water, everything was ready, but Zheng Lingyi still didn't feel stable in his heart.

"Did the amniotic water break?" Zheng Lingyi said, and was about to lift Aunt Jiang's skirt to see how it was, but was pulled away by Qiaoluo.

"Sister! You are still a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, how can you, how can you? Ay! Left and right can't be done, you better go out. ”

Qiao Luo pushed Zheng Lingyi out with a hug, Zheng Lingyi slammed the door of the house and said, "It's all women, why care about these irrelevant things!" I don't read these books to be well-informed, I'm to be useful! ”

"Get out, Qiaoluo, get her out!" Aunt Jiang, who was on the bed, also said with difficulty.

Zheng Lingyi was distracted by Aunt Jiang, and as soon as her fingers were loosened, she was pushed out by Qiaoluo.

"Auntie! Choro! Zheng Lingyi was in a hurry, so he could only pace anxiously back and forth outside the door, and said, "How is my aunt?" Can the amniotic water break? ”

"Your sister is really interesting, and she speaks like an experienced old woman."

Zheng Lingyi, the voice of this old woman, still remembers that it was Aunt Tang who delivered the baby for Zheng Qijun.

She looked towards the door suddenly, and saw Aunt Tang and Qiao Zhu standing at the door.

Aunt Tang walked in, and Qiao Zhu retreated, and there was no one else, far less than the battle when Aunt Jiang gave birth before.

Seeing that Zheng Lingyi deliberately blocked the door of the inner room, Aunt Tang sneered and leaned over to approach Zheng Lingyi, "Sister, don't worry, Madame is kind, this child will be safe and sound." ”

The breath when she spoke was almost sprayed on Zheng Lingyi's face, she must have eaten something fishy for lunch, Zheng Lingyi tilted her head slightly, but she still smelled the unpleasant smell in her mouth.

Zheng Lingyi looked at her with bated breath, and listened to her say in a tone of voice: "But if my sister is still in the way, one corpse and two lives may not be guaranteed." ”

There was a muffled cry of pain from behind the door, Zheng Lingyi followed with a trembling heart, moved three steps to the side, and said, "Sister Qiaoluo, Wen Po has arrived." ”

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Qiao Luo seemed to hesitate for a moment before opening the door.

Aunt Tang snorted coldly and walked in, she was fat and strong, and she deliberately didn't dodge when she walked, and hit Qiaoluo directly on the door panel.

Qiao Luo and Zheng Lingyi glanced at each other, she was obviously afraid, but she still did not allow Zheng Lingyi to enter the delivery room.

Zheng Lingyi understood her scruples, but she was also very helpless. And when they sit dry and wait, the hour passes very slowly.

By the time Aunt Wan, Lu Nong, Zheng Changchang and Zheng Mianmian all returned, Aunt Jiang had not yet given birth to a child.

Although it was early summer, Zheng Lingyi was also sweating, and was coaxed by Lu Nong to scrub it, changed into dry clothes and continued to guard the door.

"Sister, I'm waiting left and right, the slave and maid have warmed up Xiyuan again, you can eat some." Midorino said, pushing a steaming bowl of kien in front of her.

Zheng Lingyi didn't have any appetite, but she still took it, and was about to take a bite, but she heard the thunder rolling outside, which made her so shocked that she even dropped the spoon.

Along with the thunder, the cry of a baby was heard in the house.

Everyone rushed to the door, fearing that when they suddenly pushed the door in, they would bring a cold wind, which would make Aunt Jiang and the baby cold.

After a while, the door finally opened, and Aunt Tang walked out with the child in her arms, only to say, "It's a girl." ”

She didn't stop and walked straight out the door.

"Aunt Tang! Aunt Tang, where are you going? Aunt Wan pestered Aunt Tang and asked quickly.

"Naturally, I took the child to show my wife." Aunt Tang glanced at Aunt Wan, the swaddling clothes in her hand were tightly wrapped, Zheng Ling wanted to see it but couldn't.

Qiao Zhu was standing at the door, Aunt Tang handed the child to her, Qiao Zhu hesitated a little, but she also raised her legs and left.
