Chapter 102: Teething
Hearing Yuan Xi's crying, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu immediately put down what they were doing and walked towards the door quickly.
As soon as the two of them walked to the door, the nurse also appeared in front of them with the crying Yuan Xi.
"What's going on? What happened to Yuan Xi? Dong Shu anxiously asked twice, and without waiting for the nurse to answer, she directly hugged Yuan Xi into her arms.
With the moment he hugged Yuan Xi into his arms, Dong Shu also noticed that Yuan Xi's whole body was hot.
"Why is Yuan Xi so hot?" Dong Shu opened his mouth in a panic, and after saying this, he put his forehead on Yuan Xi's face.
I don't know if there is a mother-in-law, the moment Yuan Xi was posted by Dong Shu, the crying voice became a little smaller.
Looking at the little lady and Yuan Xi like this, Xu Shiqiu turned his head to look at the nurse and said, "What's the matter?" ”
As soon as the nurse heard Xu Shiqiu's voice, she hurriedly spoke: "The servant doesn't know why the girl is crying suddenly, the servant has just prepared warm water and is ready to wipe the girl's body, but before she touches her, she suddenly cries." Saying this, the nurse was afraid that Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu would not believe it, so she hurriedly continued: "When the servant came to find the son and his wife with the girl, he had already asked people to find Dr. Du. ”
Hearing the nurse's words, Xu Shiqiu was silent for a moment before looking at Dong Shu and said, "Let's take Yuan Xi into the house first, and wait for Dr. Du to come." ”
Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu say this, Dong Shu couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he could only hold Yuan Xi and follow Xu Shiqiu into the house.
The nurse followed behind them, which made her nervous, for fear that it would be because she didn't take good care of herself, and Yuan Xi would suddenly cry.
As soon as Dr. Du heard Yuan Xi's sudden crying, he quickly followed people to Shihuan Courtyard.
When Dr. Du came to Shihuan Courtyard, Yuan Xi had gradually stopped crying under Dong Shu's comfort.
Doctor Du carefully inspected Yuan Xi, and then said under everyone's worried gaze: "Yuan Xi is teething. ”
"Huh?" Xu Shiqiu was a little puzzled, although he had never raised a child before, but when the little lady was pregnant with Yuan Xi, he had read a lot of books and asked a lot of people.
Yuan Xi has only been four months old, and he has teeth?
As soon as Doctor Du saw Xu Shiqiu's eyes, he knew that he was doubting himself in his heart, and he gently pinched Yuan Xi's cheek, and Yuan Xi's small mouth was forced to open.
"Look if there's a little white dot in her mouth where the teeth are growing." After saying this, Dr. Du didn't wait for Xu Shiqiu to find the white spots, so he continued: "Yuan Xi is well raised, and he starts teething before he reaches four months, and ordinary children don't start teething until June or July. ”
"So Yuan Xi is going to be a little hot, because of the teeth?" Dong Shu still remembers that when the cousin of the uncle's family had teeth, he also cried for a long time, and it was still a little hot, and the aunt kept asking her and her cousin to wipe her cousin's body with a wet cloth.
"Exactly." Doctor Du opened his mouth, took out a pen and ink and wrote several medicinal materials on paper, and then continued: "Yuan Xi is fine, take these herbs back later, boil the water, and give Yuan Xi a bubble bath." ”
After saying this, Dr. Du thought for a while and continued: "Although Yuan Xi started teething now, it is still unclear how it will grow in the later stage. In the future, I will come to see Yuan Xi every morning and evening, and on weekdays, you are also more refined. ”
After listening to Dr. Du's words, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu naturally responded without hesitation.
When the nurse left with Ling Xiang and Dr. Du to take a bath with medicinal herbs to boil water and Yuan Xi, Mrs. Xu also heard about Yuan Xi's sudden crying.
After Xu Shiqiu told the servant woman of the main courtyard about Yuan Xi's teeth, Yuan Xi would already be leaning on Dong Shu's arms and fell asleep.
I don't know if it's comfortable in my mother's arms, or if it smells good for my mother, the tears on Yuan Xi's face haven't dried yet, but she stopped crying and leaned on Dong Shu's chest obediently.
Xu Shiqiu looked at the tear stains on his daughter's face, lowered his head and kissed her on the back of the head, and then looked at Dong Shu and said, "I really didn't expect our Yuan Xi to grow teeth so soon." ”
Dong Shu didn't expect her own Yuan Xi to grow teeth so quickly, she lowered her head and pasted Yuan Xi's forehead with her cheek, and after feeling that her forehead was not so hot, she said: "Doctor Du also said that it was because Yuan Xi was well raised." After saying this, Dong Shu paused and continued: "Xianggong said before that the matter of finding another nurse should be grasped quickly, Yuan Xi is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more times when you need to keep an eye on it. ”
When he was young, Yuan Xi almost ate and slept and ate when he was full.
But since she turned three months old, Yuan Xi has been much more lively, and she has less and less time to sleep every day.
Before, she and the nurse took care of Yuan Xi instead, but now she is getting busier and busier, and Yuan Xi is awake for longer and longer, and a nurse really can't take care of it.
Xu Shiqiu understood what Dong Shu meant, and nodded again and again when he heard her words.
Because of Yuan Xi's sudden appearance of a baby tooth tip, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were really worried for a long time.
It wasn't until Yuan Xi took a medicinal bath and fell asleep after eating milk that Dong Shu had the heart to write the unfinished post before.
waited until Dong Shu wrote the post, and then went to the main courtyard with Xu Shiqiu.
In the main courtyard, after seeing Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu coming, Mrs. Xu first asked about Yuan Xi, and after confirming that Yuan Xi was not bad, she looked at the two of them: "Raising a child is a painstaking thing, both of you are the first time, there will definitely be many things that you can't notice." But it doesn't matter, you take your time, I will also make Dr. Du work harder and keep an eye on it. ”
Because Mrs. Xu gave birth to four children and raised them, she was really scared when she heard Yuan Xi's sudden crying today.
After all, almost every family has one or two children who died suddenly when they were young.
Yuan Xi is so cute, Mrs. Xu really can't imagine how sad the family will be if something happens to Yuan Xi.
Fortunately, Yuan Xi just started teething, and Dr. Du also said that it was okay.
"What my mother said is that we will all keep an eye on Yuan Xi." Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu spoke at the same time, and then the two quickly glanced at each other, and they both saw the firmness in each other's eyes.
After talking about Yuan Xi, the three of them began to talk about the banquet.
"Dong's post is well written, although you can see that the tip of the pen is immature, but at a glance, you can know that I didn't let people write it." Mrs. Xu has low expectations for Dong Shu, so she is doing more than she expected now, and she is very satisfied.
As for the post written by Dong Shu, she can see the immaturity between her words at a glance, and presumably the ladies who have rich experience like her can also see it.
However, their Xu family never thought of concealing Dong Shu's identity, she was from an ordinary background, there was no need to hide it from the people in the capital, she had to say that she was a girl from a big family.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu looked at Dong Shu and said, "Our Xu family will not hide your identity, so when you see those ladies in the future, someone will definitely say something about your background." But you also have to remember that no one in the Xu family dislikes you, and the Xu family will always be your backing. ”
Xu Shiqiu had mentioned this matter to Dong Shu before.
Although she had been prepared, Dong Shu was still a little nervous when she heard Mrs. Xu speak today.
Seeing Dong Shu's nervousness, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly reached out to hold her hand, "Lady doesn't need to be nervous, no matter what happens, your husband will always be by your side." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu didn't forget to smile at Dong Shu.
Dong Shu saw Xu Shiqiu's smile, and also understood what his father-in-law meant, thinking of what his father-in-law had said to himself, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Xianggong, don't worry, I am prepared." ”
Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu didn't say anything more, but looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "Sister said that she would go to the palace tomorrow, and we should wait for the banquet." Wait for the news from my sister tomorrow, and then send them a post. ”
Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu and Mrs. Xu speak, and after saying this, he didn't wait for the two of them to answer, and continued: "If Master Xuanling really has a way to make the lady not have to stay by my side all the time, I can also entertain the male guests in the front yard alone at that time." ”
Xu Shiqiu directly said his thoughts, and Dong Shu and Mrs. Xu, who heard his words, immediately glanced at each other, and then Mrs. Xu nodded and said, "It's a good thing that Shiqiu has this thought, but you can't be in a hurry about these things." ”
"Mother, don't worry, I know it." Xu Shiqiu also understood what his mother said, he had been here for so many years, and it was nothing to wait a little longer.
After saying these two things, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu did not stay with Mrs. Xu for long.
According to the habit of the past, they were going to accompany Mrs. Xu to eat here, but today because they were worried about Yuan Xi, the two of them went back to Shihuan Courtyard at the urging of Mrs. Xu.
That night, Yuan Xi was a little hot, although it was not scary during the day, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu still kept Yuan Xi all night.
The two of them kept wiping the soles of their feet with a damp cloth to ensure that after Yuan Xi cooled down quickly, the two of them didn't dare to fall asleep.
Fortunately, Xu Nuanwen did not send back the news soon after entering the palace the next morning, and the two of them who had been guarding the New Year's Eve all night did not wake up until almost noon.
And just half a day after they slept, Xu Nuanwen was also accompanied by Ye Jingxing and met the current Shengshang Rui Kangdi.
Rui Kangdi has aged a lot this year, perhaps because of the constant fighting between his sons, or because he is unwilling in his heart.
Facing his sons who are in the prime of life, he is dying of old age.
However, he felt that his favorite and most satisfied son was the first prince who had been dead for ten years.
So when he saw Xu Nuanwen and Ye Jingxing coming together, although there was not much change on his face, the excitement in his eyes completely revealed all his thoughts.
I don't know what the turning point Master Xuanling said?
Seeing that Rui Kangdi was so excited, Xu Nuanwen suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Fortunately, Ye Jingxing had already seen a lot of such a father, and led Xu Nuanwen to salute Emperor Ruikang unhurriedly.
"Get up, what is the matter with you entering the palace together today?" Rui Kangdi naturally received the news that the Xu family had returned to Beijing a long time ago, but he was the emperor after all, and it was impossible for him to go to the Xu family on the pole.
So when he saw the fifth daughter-in-law from the Xu family appear, he felt that the Xu family was asking to see him.
Although Xu Nuanwen didn't look directly at Rui Kangdi, she could still guess what he was thinking through his tone and the curvature of the corners of his mouth.
Somehow, Xu Nuanwen suddenly became a little angry, and some didn't want to let him be so happy.
