Chapter 164: Snatching the Child
The old woman was startled, she was not very happy about this life-threatening thing, she was a midwife, if it was known that she was still doing such a thing, her job would be ruined, but for the sake of the face of the ten taels of silver given by Chen Zhongkang, she would be exempt from embarrassment. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】
The little guy naturally recognized Chen Qiaoqiao, and her legs were weak, "Madam"
"What are you going to do, give me the child," Chen Qiaoqiao shouted.
"Madam, don't be embarrassed, it's the second young master who said he was going to throw this child away."
"Put your shit This is Miss Sun, you dare to touch a single hair of her, I will never spare you Although she is small, she is also a human life, you are guilty of homicide, I will send you to the Yamen"
Chen Qiaoqiao threatened, and the old woman shuddered, "Madame's old body is just acting on orders, if Second Young Master Chen knows that my matter is not handled well, he will definitely not be able to spare me."
Chen Qiaoqiao saw that the threat had an effect, and her tone softened, "I also understand your difficulties, but this is the blood of our Chen family, how can I, as a grandmother, watch the child go to death like this, you hand over the child to me, you go back to your life, just say that the child has been thrown away, this matter has nothing to do with you"
Chen Qiaoqiao has already thought about it, Chen Zhongkang is determined not to have this child, if he sends it back, he will still take her life, he can make this matter public, and force Chen Zhongkang to recognize this child, but this child's life must be difficult, maybe she will be left to fend for herself, in this case, she might as well take in this child herself, and now her own conditions are not unaffordable, and this rabbit lip is not an incurable disease
In ancient times, it was already a defect that could be cured
Rabbit lip, also known as rabbit deficiency or missing lip in ancient times, is a congenital malformation. In the treatise on the origin and syndrome of diseases written by Chao Yuanfang of the Sui Dynasty, it said: "Born with a lack of lips, like the lips of a rabbit, it is called a rabbit deficiency." "The ancients thought that this was because a woman saw a rabbit when she was pregnant, or ate rabbit meat. Modern times have figured out why it came about. In fact, it is a genetic disease; It is one of the features of a genetic syndrome caused by an autosomal aberration.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was an intellectual, named Fang Gan, who was very well educated, passed the examination, and won the Jinshi, but when the list was issued, his name fell to Sun Shan. The reason for this is that he is a cleft lip patient. In feudal society, if a dignified feudal official suffers from a missing lip, it will inevitably hurt a lot, and of course he cannot be admitted. In modern recruitment, there is also a rule that requires good facial features, otherwise it will be difficult to recruit. Rabbit lip repair is not a complicated operation today, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was an advanced technique. Therefore, it was not until his later years that Fang Gan met a surgeon who could fill in his lips and made up for his missing lips. At that time, someone gave Fang Gan a nickname, called "Mr. Lip Filler".
The surgery to fill the rabbit lip has been around for a long time. The biography of Wei Yongzhi in the Book of Jin records: Wei Yongzhi was born without a lip. When he was 18 years old, he heard that there was a famous doctor who could treat the missing lip under the account of Yin Zhongkan, the assassin of Jingzhou. But his family was poor, so he didn't go to Jingzhou. Finally, he made up his mind to cure it, and said to his family; "I'm so ugly, what's the point of living" So, he took more than 10 buckets of rice and left. When he arrived at the Jingzhou Thorn Mansion, Yin Zhongkan asked him what he meant, appreciated his determination very much, and immediately invited the doctor. The doctor said, "You can cut your own flesh to make up for it, but you must drink porridge for 100 days, and you can't laugh or talk." Wei Yongzhi continued: "I haven't spoken for half my life, and I have half a life, just cured, not to mention only a hundred days" After the operation, he never laughed, only drank thin porridge, and after about 100 days, the wound on his lips was repaired.
It can be seen that this rabbit lip can be cured, and now it is the Song Dynasty, and medicine is even more prosperous, Chen Qiaoqiao doesn't believe it, and can't find such a doctor
The old woman hesitated, and Chen Qiaoqiao shouted: "Don't you want to go to the official mansion and say that it's good, Kaifeng Mansion is not far from here, let's just go and have a look."
"Don't dare, don't dare Madam, I'll leave this child to you" After speaking, the old woman hurriedly handed over the swaddling clothes to Chen Qiaoqiao.
Chen Qiaoqiao took a closer look at the child, slightly relieved, the child's condition is not serious, just a simple cleft lip, not a cleft lip and palate, it is much simpler, as long as it is repaired, it will not affect the speech, if it is a cleft lip and palate, it is modern medical technology, and it cannot be completely restored to the same as a normal child.
This child has the same smart eyes as Chen Zhen and a straight nose, and it can be seen that if this lip is repaired, it must also be a beauty, which exacerbates Chen Qiaoqiao's determination to take good care of this poor child.
"Madam, please spare us, this midwife is easy to say, and she will leave, but I work in the Chen family, if the second young master knows, I won't be able to eat and leave" The little guy knelt down in a panic.
"Why are you panicking that the second young master is the master of the Chen family, I am not the master, I have just separated, but I am still your wife, in case of an incident, you will push it on my head, if the second young master drives you away because of this, you will come to me, this bowl of rice will definitely not be missing you"
Although the little guy still looked a little dejected, he was no longer as worried as he was just now.
It was windy outside, Chen Qiaoqiao saw that the little doll was cold and her face turned blue, and she was worried for a while, so she beckoned to Yangzi, "Let's go soon, this kid, poor to see"
Yangzi knew that Chen Qiaoqiao was in a hurry, so he hurriedly helped Chen Qiaoqiao into the carriage and flew towards the Immortal Painting Gallery.
Chen Zhen and Qiu Xiang were anxiously waiting outside the door of the art gallery, and when they saw Yangzi's carriage coming, they hurriedly greeted them, Chen Qiaoqiao walked down, "Hurry up and prepare some hot ginger soup, and then boil some rice soup and send it, this child must be hungry."
"Grandmother show me my sister," Chen Zhen shouted anxiously, "I haven't seen my sister yet."
Chen Qiaoqiao hesitated, "Zhen'er, you should know that your sister's mouth is a little broken, and she is not as beautiful as you think, you won't dislike her."
The child's perception of beauty and ugliness is very intuitive, what if Chen Zhen is disappointed in the child's appearance
Chen Zhen shook his head, "No, no matter what my sister looks like, Zhen'er will not dislike her, Zhen'er is an elder brother, and he will definitely protect his sister."
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be a little moved, so she sat on the stool, opened the swaddling clothes, and Chen Zhen's tears remained, "My sister is so pitiful, such a small mouth will break, will it hurt?"
Seeing that he was not afraid at all, Chen Qiaoqiao's heart fell to the ground. Qiu Xiang also arrived: "Miss Sun's eyebrows are still very delicate, if this lip is not broken, she is also a beauty"
Chen Qiaoqiao nodded, "Don't be afraid, this can be cured, but she is too young, I'm afraid she can't withstand the toss, let's raise it first, and when she is older, we will find a good doctor."
Zhen'er kept pinching her little body, very curious, "My sister is so small."
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, "Zhen'er, this sister was rescued by you, you say, what's her name?"
Zhen'er's eyes widened, "Give me my sister's name"
Chen Qiaoqiao nodded, "Yes, your father and your mother don't want her, only Zhen'er wants her, and her name can only be taken by you."
Chen Zhen's tears welled up again, "Daddy and mother will definitely regret it, my sister is so cute, Zhen'er will definitely love her sister well, treat my sister as a baby, it's better to call her Xiaobao, grandmother, do you say it's okay."
Dongmei has already clapped her hands, "Chen Xiaobao, this name is good" is that the two sisters Chunhua and Qiuhua also agreed, "It's much better than our name"
Chen Qiaoqiao also felt good, "It's called Xiaobao" remembered something, "Zhen'er, you have been out for so long, your father and mother should be worried, you better go back quickly, remember, don't tell your father and mother, my sister is in the grandmother, do you know it?"
Zhen'er nodded, "I understand, my father doesn't like my sister, and I don't like my father and mother if I don't know what I can't say" The little person grew up a lot in an instant, Chen Qiaoqiao opened her mouth, wanting to persuade a few words, but in the end she didn't know what to say, how could she say it, saying that it was because his sister was defective that his father didn't want his sister
Children have their own judgments, and besides, Chen Qiaoqiao has never had a good impression of people who abandon their own flesh and blood.
Chen Qiaoqiao now feels more and more that the three sons of the Chen family are very unreliable, perhaps because this mother died early, Chen Wei was busy, and there was no good teaching.
Chen Zhen straightened up his small body, with a solemn face, with an awe-inspiring look that did not match that of a child, "Grandmother and sister are here for you, Zhen'er will often come to see her, Zhen'er will never leave her sister" said with red eyes, and reluctantly followed the little girl.
At this time, the ginger soup had already been stewed, and Chen Qiaoqiao had no experience in taking care of children, so she didn't know what to do. Qiu Xiang smiled slightly, "Madam, give me Miss Sun, I'll come."
Qiu Xiang has always behaved properly, Chen Qiaoqiao nodded, and handed the child to her, "Madam, this newborn child is afraid that he can't drink ginger soup, Madame still drink it, Miss Sun drink some rice soup first, I have already told Yangzi, I want him to go back to the village first to see if there is a little woman with enough milk, let's evenly, just send some rice grain to her to replenish her body."
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but nodded, "It's still right that you're worried, I panicked, and I didn't know what to do."
Chen Qiaoqiao was a little embarrassed, nominally she was already like a mother of two children, but in fact she didn't understand it at all, on the other hand, this Qiu Xiang looked calm and composed.
