Writing pregnancy notes is what Shen Dongsu has been doing since he confirmed that he was pregnant.

There was no pregnancy test in this era. Those who could afford it would occasionally ask a doctor to take a pulse, but most people listened to older women's opinions.

From the moment Shen Dongsu delivered Ding Yun's baby, she knew how terrifying it was for a woman to give birth in this era. It was literally stepping into the gate of hell with one foot.

Not only because of the lack of medical treatment, but also because of the stubborn, outdated, absurd and weird self-perception of some elderly people. For example, newborns have strong Yin energy, so they cannot use things with too much Yang energy.

Towels, clothes, etc. used during production should be dried in the shade, that is, under the moon at night, and should not be exposed to the sun.

Isn't this nonsense? In an era when there were no disinfectants, boiling water and sunlight were the best disinfectants, but they avoided using them for such weird reasons.

Many pregnant women do not die during childbirth, but die from postpartum fever due to inadequate disinfection and infection with germs.

There are also many terrifying folk customs during childbirth, such as when the fetus is too large and pregnant women have difficulty in giving birth. There are people who put a basin on the belly of the pregnant woman and bang the basin hard, which can 'scare' the fetus out.

This is pretty good. You can also use a rolling dough stick to roll the baby down on the belly of the pregnant woman like rolling dough. Needless to say, out of a hundred pregnant women with dystocia, every one of them is lucky to survive.

There is no other reason why pregnant women cannot give birth in the main room. The yin energy and filth will affect the family's fortune.

When giving birth, you can only go to a dark side room. Some mothers-in-law who care about their daughters-in-law will even let their daughters-in-law give birth in places like cowsheds.

There are too many weird folk customs about pregnancy to be punished. Shen Dongsu watched silently all the way from Guangzhou to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Youzhou.

It has long been discovered that whether it is common people, nobles, or even the royal family, pregnant women die in childbirth and newborns die in infancy.

She had long thought of a formal pregnancy encyclopedia certified by the hospital. It's a pity that it has been delayed due to various things in the past few years.

And now that she is pregnant, a famous doctor in Youzhou has already made a name for herself and has her own printing shop. It can be said that the right time and place are right, and it is a good time to publish this pregnancy encyclopedia.

Therefore, she kept a very detailed diary during her pregnancy, including taking her own pulse every month and recording the changes in the mother's body and the growth of her child.

There are also the formal taboos and diet during pregnancy, etc. As for the birth of a boy or a girl, it depends on the man’s chromosomes, not the woman.

She felt that no one believed it even if it was written, and maybe the people thought Princess Ling was talking nonsense.

So what she wrote is more understandable. The reason for having children is the father’s sowing seeds, not the mother’s body.

In addition, it is difficult to point out directly that close relatives are prone to give birth to deformed children, because even emperors often have close relatives marry.

Especially in the era when the gentry was in power, marriage between close relatives was the mainstream, so that the gentry could become intertwined, prosperous, and have mutual interests.

If she wrote this, it is estimated that the nobles and nobles would try hard to block this book and prevent it from being circulated on a large scale. This is contrary to her desire to teach ordinary people about pregnancy and childbirth.

So she chose another way of writing, that is, the farther the blood relationship between parents is, the healthier the children will be.

There is no mention of the harm of close relatives, but I give you room to imagine.

If someone wants to understand this and discovers that a descendant of her family has a strange disease because her parents are closely related by blood, that has nothing to do with her.

In order to make this book easy to understand, she used all vernacular, which is completely different from books such as Qianjin Prescription passed down by famous doctors.

In her heart, neither her status as a peasant girl nor her status as a princess could change the fact that she was a doctor, since she came to this world for a visit.

There has to be something left behind and something changed to make it worthwhile for me to come here.

She jokingly said to Tsukimi: "When my child is alive, this book will be published in volume. If it sells well, I will continue to write preschool education books."

Yue Jian said: "The signature is Princess Ling, so this book is destined to be a big seller! Who wouldn't believe the words of the miracle doctor Princess?"

Shen Dongsu felt that Yue Jian worshiped her a little too much. Everything she said was right and she supported everything she did...

In mid-July, a group of special guests came to Youzhou, it should be said that they were Mr. Pang's guests. Mr. Pang had previously talked about Wanshu Pavilion’s enrollment, and Shen Dongsu also said that students would not come here until at least next year when they have made a name for themselves.

Especially now that there is not even a decent master, the one with the highest academic qualifications in the entire Youzhou City should be Mr. Pang.

What she didn't expect was that Li Nianyu had brothers from the same school, as did Mr. Pang. Well, I should say he is a classmate, a boy from a poor family like him.

It was also difficult to study at a young age, and only a small number of people could become officials. Most of them worked as retainers and staff for the noble families, and some had become disillusioned with the world and devoted their lives to Xianyun Yehe.

When Mr. Pang first started building Wanshu Pavilion, he wrote letters to these old friends. Of course, he started by bragging and boasting to the sky.

How much King Ling cherishes talents, how grand Wanshu Pavilion is, tens of thousands of unique ancient books, how well treated Youzhou Confucius is...

If you don’t believe me, go ask about the treatment of doctors at Princess Ling’s Yangzhou Medical Clinic. In Youzhou, the remuneration of masters and doctors is higher.

Anyway, the pie is painted and the cowhide is blown. Regardless of whether people believe it or not, there is a sense of yearning and curiosity for Wanshu Pavilion first.

Mr. Pang's idea is very simple. Just trap a hundred people. If you can trap one of them, you can make a profit.

In the end, he was really tricked. Of course, Shen Dongsu would help him implement all the big cakes he drew.

Now she is not short of money and can spend a lot of money to invest in the education industry. Wanshu Pavilion is just the beginning.

Among his classmates, some were cautious and wanted to inquire more, while others with a free and easy temperament immediately set off to Youzhou to visit Wanshu Pavilion, which is like a temple for scholars.

In addition, the road to Youzhou was repaired, and the first group arrived in Youzhou in mid-July. There were three masters and a dozen book boys in the group.

Mr. Pang first mentioned to Shen Dongsu that he would "buy a horse bone with a thousand pieces of gold", so he would give extremely high courtesy and treatment to the first batch of wives who arrived.

Shen Dongsu agreed with this view and had experience in welcoming scholars in her previous life. She had people make banners and flags first and pull them directly to the city gate.

Let Wanshu Pavilion, the Medical College and the new recruits all put on uniforms, like Wanshu Pavilion's clothes, which are sky blue with white trim.

Blue was a very common color in this era, but ordinary people could only afford to wear indigo. Many nobles' servants and servants wore indigo clothes.

Sky blue is more difficult to dye and more valuable. Mr. Pang was reluctant to use this as work clothes at first. It was too wasteful. Shen Dongsu said that it was necessary to distinguish the difference between Wanshu Pavilion.

We want everyone who comes to Youzhou to be proud to wear this kind of blue. Uh, can she say it's a sequelae from her previous life? When it comes to school uniforms, sky blue is not the first thing that comes to mind.

Therefore, when Mr. Pang's three old friends came to the gate of Youzhou City, they were stunned and felt extremely glorious.

A large banner held by soldiers outside the city gate read "Welcome Master to Youzhou", and three bookboys from Wanshu Pavilion presented banners with their surnames printed on them.
