Chapter 53: How Good That Is
"I thought you would be able to buy it when the market opened today, but it just caught up with you and sold out." The woman complained with some dissatisfaction, "I know that I haven't been late for many days, and I don't even know how to prepare more, so I really don't know how to do business." ”
"I'm sorry. If Madame really wants to eat, she will come and buy it early tomorrow, but there is really no more today. Aunt Li apologized to the woman again and again.
"Humph! You're not the only one who sells osmanthus sugar cakes! I'll buy it elsewhere! The woman snorted, and went away with the maid and twisted her waist.
Zhang Chun'er bumped into Aunt Li, and when she saw that the woman was walking away, she whispered: "I see that you still have two pieces hidden in your cage drawer, why don't you sell them to her?" I remember that she ate your sugar cakes cutely, and she has come to me every day these days to ask when you will be able to sell sugar cakes. ”
Aunt Li explained: "These pieces of sugar cakes were promised to people by me before, so naturally it is difficult to sell them to her." By the way, should I wait for you here for a while, or will you collect the stall and go back with me to see the doctor? ”
"I'll go with you, it doesn't seem like there's any business today." Zhang Chun'er quickly rolled up the cotton cloth on the stall, and all the hairpin earrings were rolled into a ball and tied into a bag and carried behind him.
Zhang Chun'er is in the jewelry business, unlike Chen Yuanniang and Aunt Li, this table is borrowed by the restaurant behind her, and she only needs to give ten dollars a month, and the guy in the restaurant will take the table back into the lobby of the restaurant after she closes the stall, and every day when she comes, the guy will move the table out for her to use.
Therefore, Zhang Chun'er is the easiest to close the stall, and it is over with a roll of baggage.
"Sister Li, I'll help you push the cart back together!" Zhang Chun'er said that she was going to roll up her sleeves and help Aunt Li push the cart.
"Don't! You're not long pregnant, and it's not good if the cart gets the tire gas. Aunt Li stopped her.
"It's so squeamish there!" Zhang Chun'er didn't listen at all, and helped Aunt Li push the car, "I'm in good health!" ”
"Wait a minute, I think I'll just go with you." Chen Yuanniang couldn't rest assured, and explained to the guy in the restaurant behind her, and then followed Zhang Chun'er to help Aunt Li push the cart.
"Aren't you going to take Chun'er to see a doctor? How did you come to your house? Chen Yuanniang and Zhang Chun'er pushed the car together, and as soon as Chen Yuanniang looked up, she saw the door number of Aunt Li's house.
"With such a heavy thing, I can't let Sister Li take it with me to see the doctor." Zhang Chun'er is considerate.
Aunt Li didn't answer, just called Xiangling's name, "Xiangling." ”
"Mother!" Xiangling opened the door, saw Zhang Chun'er and Chen Yuanniang, and hurriedly smiled sweetly and called: "Aunt Zhang and Aunt Chen are also here?" Fast forward, fast forward. ”
"This is Xiangling, right?" Zhang Chun'er walked out from the back of the cart, took Xiangling's hand, and looked up and down, "It's really getting more and more smart." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang, for the compliment." Xiangling smiled sweetly and stepped forward to help Aunt Li push the cart into the courtyard.
Aunt Li took Zhang Chun'er and Chen Yuanniang into the hall together, and Xiangling brought a hot tea to the three of them.
"Mother, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Chen, you drink tea." Xiangling bar tea was handed to the three of them.
"Xiangling is really well-behaved." Chen Yuanniang reached out and touched Xiangling's head, with a look of love.
"Yes! Seeing Xiangling's well-behaved and lovely appearance, I really hope that this one in my belly is a daughter. Zhang Chun'er stroked her lower abdomen, and her eyes were full of anticipation for the unborn baby.
"So Aunt Chen has a baby?" Xiangling looked at Zhang Chun'er's lower abdomen curiously, "How did the baby get into my aunt's belly?" Can my aunt tell me? ”
Zhang Chun'er's face turned red all of a sudden, and she looked at Xiangling and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Xiangling, go and invite your sister Lingyue over." Seeing this, Aunt Li said to help Zhang Chun'er break the siege.
Although Xiangling was still very curious in her eyes, she also went out obediently.
"Didn't you say you were going to take Chun'er to see the doctor? Why did you let Xiangling go to someone else? Chen Yuanniang took a sip of the hot tea on the table, her eyes full of doubts.
"You'll find out in a moment." Aunt Li just smiled and said nothing, seeing that both of them looked at her in puzzlement, and said with a smile:
"Don't be too surprised to see her then!"
Aunt Li accompanied Zhang Chun'er and Chen Yuanniang to say some thoughtful words, and after waiting for less than half a pillar of incense, Xiangling took Song Lingyue to the lobby together.
As soon as Song Lingyue saw that Xiangling was looking for her, and said that Aunt Li's house had a guest, she guessed that it might be a patient introduced by Aunt Li, so she packed up and hurriedly followed Xiangling with the medicine box on her back.
As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw Aunt Li and two women younger than her were drinking tea and chatting in the lobby.
Song Lingyue first glanced at the two women secretly, the woman's long hair on the left hand side was coiled up and fixed with a hairpin embedded with southern beads, which was quite delicate from a distance, but when she looked closer, she could see that the golden hairpin was just plated with a layer of gilding, not a real golden hairpin.
The woman had short earlobes and wore the same Nanzhu studs, but only the size of a grain of rice, and it was easy to ignore them without looking closely.
However, the woman looked very gentle, with willow leaves and curved eyebrows, pink and peach cheeks, and looked very gentle and kind.
A willow green cross-collar hemp skirt, although it is very elegant, but the collar is carefully embroidered with cold plum as an embellishment, which is elegant and chic.
On the right side is a woman in a silver-red shirt, the woman's eyebrows and eyes are more bright than the one on the left, and she is looking at Song Lingyue curiously at this time, but there is a blue under her eyes, and she looks like she has not rested well.
Her hand kept stroking the position of her lower abdomen, Song Lingyue guessed that she might be pregnant, and stroking her lower abdomen was just a subconscious behavior.
"Aunt Li." Song Lingyue stepped forward and saluted Aunt Li.
Aunt Li looked up and saw Song Lingyue, so she smiled and said, "It's here!" Sister Chun'er, Sister Yuanniang, this is the doctor I want to introduce to you. ”
"Y-You're a doctor?" Zhang Chun'er looked at Song Lingyue's eyes wide, "I never knew that there were female doctors practicing medicine in this world." ”
"Sister didn't deceive us, did she?" Chen Yuanniang was suspicious of Song Lingyue, "This has never been a precedent for a woman to practice medicine." ”
Aunt Li said: "How can I deceive you? I was sick and couldn't get out of bed before, but it's all thanks to Ling Yue! If she hadn't prescribed the medicine and gave me some plasters, I wouldn't have been able to get better so quickly. ”
"But ......" Zhang Chun'er was still a little hesitant, after all, it was related to the fetus in her womb, and she didn't dare to risk asking a woman to help her diagnose and treat her.
Song Lingyue naturally saw the hesitation on Zhang Chun'er's face, she had never seen a woman practicing medicine, and she didn't know her depth, so she was naturally worried.
Song Lingyue coughed lightly, walked up to Zhang Chun'er, took a closer look at her complexion, and said:
"This aunt, Ling Yue looks at your complexion is not good, your eyes are blue, your lips are dry, your eyes are cloudy, your steps are vaguely swollen, and just now you have stomach acid and water regurgitation and frequent vomiting, if it is not a stomach disease, you should be pregnant, right?"
Seeing Zhang Chun'er's surprised expression, Song Lingyue just curled her lips and smiled, "If I can check my pulse again, I should be able to see it more clearly." ”
"Can you tell I'm pregnant just by looking at my face?" Zhang Chun'er's tone was full of surprise, "I haven't shown my pregnancy yet, and I don't tell many people that I don't know I'm pregnant." I just thought I had a stomach problem when I retched. ”
"Seeing that this aunt's lips are dry and deep, I think I should have a long time of nausea and vomiting, right? My aunt came to see the doctor, but was it to treat the pregnancy? Song Lingyue guessed why Zhang Chun'er came in a few words, and Zhang Chun'er was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"Sure enough, there are some doorways." Even Chen Yuanniang on the side couldn't help but be surprised, turned her head to Aunt Li and said, "Where did you find such a doctor who knows medical skills and looks so beautiful?" ”
Aunt Li hurriedly explained:
"Didn't Gu Langzhong live next door to my house before? This Lingyue girl took down the store some time ago, and she is also going to open a medical center. It happened that I fell ill before, and Xiangling was anxious and out of order, and she didn't know who to ask for, so she found this Xiangling girl.
Miss Lingyue saw that I was bedridden, felt sorry for me and Xiangling's orphans and widows, helped me treat, and personally helped to boil medicine, under her and Xiangling's care, I could get better so quickly.
If it weren't for Miss Lingyue coming to the rescue, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me. ”
Aunt Li deliberately made the previous situation much more serious, as if she was really going to die of illness without Song Lingyue's help.
Hearing Aunt Li say this, Zhang Chun'er no longer doubted Song Lingyue, and hurriedly stretched out her snow-white wrist: "Miss Lingyue, you can help me diagnose and treat it." Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I've been vomiting almost every month and can't stop. Not only that, but I couldn't even eat three meals, and I was getting thinner and thinner, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to protect this child. ”
Zhang Chun'er's eye circles began to redden, she had never seen herself have such a serious pregnancy reaction, she kept vomiting and vomiting, she didn't worry about herself, she was only worried that the child in her belly would not get nutrition and would be stillborn.
"Then I'll check your pulse right now." Song Lingyue immediately made a decision, put the medical box in her hand on the table, and walked to Zhang Chun'er.
Chen Yuanniang hurriedly moved out of the way so that Song Lingyue could sit down and diagnose Zhang Chun'er, and everyone held their breath and waited for Song Lingyue to speak.
Song Lingyue looked at it and asked for a while, and then slowly spoke:
"Looking at the pulse is quite stable, now the moon is light, the fetus is still absorbing the nutrients of the mother itself, and it has not yet reached the situation where additional supplements are needed.
However, if the reaction is still so strong after three months, it will indeed cause the fetus to develop poorly. Even after delivery, the fetus will be too thin, the body will not be healthy enough, and it is easy to cause premature death. ”
"How's that for good?" When Zhang Chun'er heard this, her face immediately turned pale.
