Mrs. Li was busy with a few specially selected servants, and the pregnant woman on the bed couldn't help but let out a scream.

Two cloth straps are hung down on the bed, and the mother can grasp them with both hands to exert force.

Mrs. Li knelt on the side, massaging her belly, and said, "Don't scream, save some strength, and it will be good to give birth in a while." ”

Before Gongsun Yan came, the mother drank the specially boiled chicken soup, so she was in good shape.

She had given birth to two children before, and she was also experienced, so she gritted her teeth and listened to the command of Mrs. Li and began to work hard.

Streams of blood poured out from between her legs.

Gongsun Yan took another look at it, and couldn't help but tremble.

Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing when she saw it, and while pressing her belly, she said, "Scared the lady?" ”

"Auntie, be careful." Don't make small talk, she looks worried.

Seeing the nervous look on Gongsun's face, Li gave birth to his wife.

Even such a lady from a wealthy family is afraid of the pain that such a woman will experience.

"Yan Niangzi is relieved." Mrs. Li and the servants around her did not look too nervous.

"In the past, when the Zhuang family produced, it was not a settlement outside, with a dustpan of grass and wood ash under the body, how could there be such a good house to live in."

"When the child is born, the rag is wrapped in rags, and it is all right."

"How can there be so many people serving."

"yes." A servant woman in the village interjected: "There are still people working in the field, and they feel that they are going to give birth, so they go to the side to give birth, wipe the blades of grass, and come back to work." ”

In this way, the few of them chatted leisurely, and Gongsun Yan relaxed a little.

Seeing that Gongsun Yan refused to return to the screen, a servant woman moved to the table and asked her to sit down.

The tea on the table could not be drunk, so she waited while listening to some taboo anecdotes told by the Li midwife and the servants, as if she was learning about the folk customs of the Han Dynasty.

In this era, women's childbirth was regarded as unlucky, and they had to build a grass hut to give birth in a deserted place outside their home, and they had to stay in such a simple grass hut for a month before returning home.

In the Northland, there is also a saying that "the whole family should not go to the bereaved family and the nursing family", which compares the family with the funeral and the family with the child.

Hearing this, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but look at the pregnant woman who was struggling on the bed, and then looked at himself.

I also listened to Mrs. Li's wife, as the saying goes, if you don't raise a child in the first month and May, and give birth to a child in May, the man will harm the father, and the woman will harm the mother.

Children born in the first and fifth months of the month will be abandoned......

It's May.

Gongsun Yan stiffened, obviously, the two children who were about to be born were already full of taboos, and after verifying this midwifery knowledge, they should also properly deal with the aftermath.

Thinking of this, she said with a faint expression: "These wild nonsense, in the final analysis, is just because the mother who is married outside the home is not well cared for, the weather is cold in January, and the heat is very hot in May, and the woman is already in danger of giving birth, which naturally increases the danger." ”

After that, Gongsun Yan didn't know how to convince these mothers-in-law, but she felt that it was quite reasonable, and she turned around and banned this bad habit of giving birth.

As for whether the dealer is happy or not?

Unlike spring ploughing, this is non-negotiable.

If not, then the tenant rent is increased.

In the face of interests, nothing is taboo.

Just as she was thinking like this, she suddenly heard a painful moan from the mother.

The fetal head is broken.

Mrs. Li, who had been chatting, went around to the right side of the mother and reached out.

Although he was scared, Gongsun Yan still got up to see if Mrs. Li was operating according to the midwifery knowledge.

This is related to her next arrangement for Li's midwife.

If the illiterate Li maternity can roughly learn it by just a few words and a few pictures of Zhou Jingshy's answer, then Gongsun Yan will definitely leave her in the main house and receive enlightenment and training.

Gongsun Yan tilted his head slightly, watching the fetal head come out, and was pulled out by Li's midwife.

Seeing the child with the umbilical cord wrapped in bloodshot and amniotic fluid, and being held in the palm of her hand by Li's midwife, Gongsun Yan was scared and moved in his heart.

The child was small, crumpled, and no bigger than the palm of a hand.

Mrs. Li cut the umbilical cord with her hands and feet, cleaned the child's mouth and nose, and patted the soles of her feet.

The child cried softly, like a kitten.

It's a girl.

The child was wrapped in a pre-prepared swaddling cloth and was supposed to be carried directly to the collapsed mother.

But maybe he looked at Gongsun Yan directly, but he hugged Gongsun Yan in front of him.

Gongsun Yan only glanced at it carefully, and then asked them to carry it to the mother.

His heart was filled with the joy of witnessing the birth of a new life, and Gongsun Yan looked up again, and no one in the room, including Mrs. Li, had a look of joy on their faces.

The mother even hugged the swaddling clothes and sobbed.

Gongsun Yan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something.

yes, it's a girl.

Mrs. Li glanced at Gongsun Yan carefully, usually with such a family background as this woman, the girl she gave birth to would hardly have the opportunity to be wrapped in swaddling clothes.

The vast majority of families, after hearing that the newborn child is a girl, will not stain the swaddling clothes again, and will drown naked.

I don't know how this child will be arranged.

Mrs. Li was thinking about it when she heard Gongsun Yan say: "I didn't see it clearly just now, bring it to me and show it to me." ”

The servant woman looked at each other when she heard this, but a glimmer of light burst out of the mother's eyes, and she hurriedly pushed the infant child over.

"Yan Niangzi." There were tears in the corners of the mother's eyes, and her eyes were full of pleading when she looked at Gongsun Yan.

Gongsun Yan smiled at her, and in the surprised eyes of the servant, he took the swaddling clothes a little awkwardly.

"I have a relationship with this child." She smiled and gently patted the child in her arms, the newborn child was really not good-looking, and there was white vernix sticking to the fetal hair.

"I'll ask the steward to write it down, and in the future, you can come to the main house every month to receive a stone of rice and grain, until the child is married, do you think it's okay?"

As he spoke, Gongsun Yan put the swaddling clothes next to the mother again.

The mother thought that she could save the child's life, but she never thought that she would be able to get the promise of one stone of rice grain a month.

With a heat in his chest, he sat up regardless of the weak body he had just given birth, and held the child to give Gongsun Yan a salute.

"Alright, let's get some rest." Gongsun Yan didn't avoid this salute, she knew that only by accepting it could she feel at ease.

Suddenly thinking of the boy outside the door, Gongsun Yan frowned, it seems that not only the medical system should be established, but also measures to encourage childbirth, and a certain amount of subsidies should be given to those who are poor and unable to raise babies.

Then there is such a bad habit as infanticide and female drowning, how to eradicate it from all aspects.

How to grasp the proportions and supervision measures of subsidies to prevent people from borrowing money and giving birth to inertia.

Another round of consideration is needed.

After a few words of relief, Gongsun Yan walked out of the door and exhaled a long breath with a body of blood.

Turning his head, there were only guards by the door, and Zhou Jing was nowhere to be seen.

Just as he was about to ask, he heard a commotion erupt in the West Chamber.

The familiar cry of the old woman made Gongsun Yan's face sink instantly.
