honey doctor

After the guests left, Su Yuan lived a comfortable life of confinement again, occasionally carrying the wronged brother Kun to the garden with Mrs. Mou behind her back, occasionally pondering some gadgets, and drawing a few picture books for the unborn child , Literacy cards, and occasionally cook a few meals when I have a good appetite.

Of course, it was unavoidable to be nagged by Granny Wu all day long, and the old and the young were noisy and lively.

Xu Shi's story of rescuing Brother Bao's son got out, and every once in a while, some wealthy women would come to the door with their children and ask her to see a doctor for the children and make up for their health.

Originally, both Mrs. Mou and Mou Yi were unwilling, for fear that Su Yuan would be tired, but Su Yuan was very happy to have something to relieve her boredom, so that she would not have to gossip during the doctor's visit, so she soon knew that Mrs. Chu Liu's old Mother was "seriously ill", Mrs. Chu Liu went back to Fucheng two hundred miles away accompanied by Chu Liuye.As for Mrs. Tao, she simply suffered from gastroenteritis, and with the permission of her mother-in-law, she set up a small kitchen by herself.

The visitor who was talking about gossip, Xu also heard that Su Yuan was on good terms with the two wives, and specially praised them for being virtuous and filial, they are very loved by the mother-in-law, otherwise they would not be so loved.

Su Yuan was secretly funny, so naturally she wouldn't be so stupid as to point it out, she just hoped that they would have good news soon.

The sun rises and the moon sets, time passes very slowly, and it seems to be very fast. I don’t know when it will start, the cicadas on the branches will become thinner, and the weather will be cooler in the morning and evening.Mrs. Mou seldom came out of the house. She took Kun to visit her daughter-in-law before dinner, and occasionally talked to Granny Wu about parenting, which was lively and warm.

Mou Yiyi was so busy that sometimes he didn't see anyone for most of the day. Su Yuan guessed that maybe it was time for a long trip, so she ordered Hongxia and Lvyi to pack the gadgets and clothes she had prepared earlier.

Sure enough, this night, it was rare for Mou Yi to come back to have a reunion dinner with his mother, nephew and wife. After the meal, he sent his mother and nephew off.

Mou Yi put his arms around his beautiful wife, whose belly was already slightly swollen, and said: "I'm going to the capital in the future, you should take good care of yourself at home, don't take any grievances to heart, just wait for me to come back and vent your anger on you .”

"Okay," Su Yuan's heart warmed when he heard it, and he played with her husband's long hair scattered on the pillow with one hand, and asked casually, "Second Master, you have been busy these days, but because of that sick disciple?"

Mou Yi was silent for a long while, and replied vaguely: "There are some, don't worry about it."

Su Yuan curled her lips, she loves and hates her husband's machismo. Even though she still has the original simple temperament, but these days, she has been in contact with many officials and women, and she knows a little about the struggle in the court. The only prince fell ill after the emperor fell ill. Now that the emperor has recovered from his illness, the prince is still bedridden.

If she couldn't guess who her husband's disciple was, wouldn't she be as stupid as a bear?

"Second Lord, maybe I come from a small family and have little knowledge, but there are tens of thousands of mansions, and I can only sleep on a three-foot couch at night. My family is rich and noble now, and I just want my family to live in peace." As he spoke, She reached out and pulled her husband's big hand to cover her lower abdomen, and said: "What's more, now that we have a baby, Second Master has to take care of himself even more."

Mou Yi felt the warmth of his wife's belly with his big hands, and he responded with his mouth, but he sighed in his heart.Everything in this world has always had a price, especially wealth, every time the imperial power changes and the court is in turmoil, how many people who were enjoying the glory one moment will be ransacking their homes and exterminating their families the next.

The Mou family enjoys a high position of wealth and honor, and it has survived for three generations. It is nothing more than a secret, and they have to plan ahead.

Before the emperor fell ill, everyone said it was accidental, but how could they hide it from him.Even if Ding You returned to his hometown, the palace still kept some ears. The emperor liked drinking and sex, and he was exhausted for many years. The previous illness was the beginning, and it will become more and more frequent in the future.

The courtiers who supported the noble concubine and the empress moved frequently, and wanted to write to the emperor to adopt a side offspring and make him the prince.As for the sick and stupid eldest prince, in the eyes of everyone, he is just a pawn that can be discarded at any time. As for whether he is really sick and stupid, no one has ever doubted it.

And this is the opportunity for the Mou family, the opportunity for another 50 years of prosperity.As a son, the old mother can enjoy her old age in peace, as a husband, the wife can live a lifetime of luxury, and as a father, the children can be protected and grow up.

This is the responsibility of a man, and it is also the proof that a man lives in the world and lives up to his years!

Su Yuan waited until her husband was gone before speaking, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she heard a strong heartbeat in her ears, and soon fell asleep soundly.

Little did he know that the man beside him took her into his arms again, lowered his head and kissed her bun, with a mellow and firm voice.

"Don't worry about sleeping, everything is by me."

Before dawn, Mou Yi took Mou Wu, a dozen guards, and four carriages on the road, rushing to the capital.

Whenever someone asks the reason, Mrs. Mou will smile and point to her daughter-in-law and say: "I made a wish with the Bodhisattva at the Baohua Temple outside the capital, and now that my wish has come true, naturally I have to let the second child go to fulfill the wish. Please come back with some Buddha treasures that have been consecrated, and also bless the prosperity of the Mou family's descendants."

Even if everyone has some doubts, it is not good to ask again. After all, the heirs are precious, and the Mou family is even weaker. They should pay more attention.

As for the many servants in the Mou Mansion, after being punished and kicked out twice, they have already become well-behaved and responsible, so they dare not talk too much about the affairs of the master's family.

Mrs. Mou ordered the door to be closed, and she only went in and out of the side door to buy supplies on weekdays, and would not allow visitors to enter the house easily.For a while, the courtyard of Mou’s house was extremely quiet, which made it easier for Su Yuan. He slept until he woke up naturally every day, and had lunch after simply dealing with trivial matters. .

It's really a life like a pig, and a comfortable day like a fairy.

But Granny Wu couldn't live anymore. The Mou family sealed off the mansion, so people seeking medical treatment couldn't come in, and she couldn't get out easily, which was very inconvenient.The doctor's parents are heartbroken, but they really can't listen to the pleas of the patients, so they propose to move back to Sanli Village.

Left and right Su Yuan's fetus is very good now, eating and sleeping soundly, and there is nothing wrong with it, it doesn't matter if she is by her side or not.

Su Yuan was naturally reluctant, but she couldn't persuade Granny Wu, so she could only pack up food, and then asked Hongxia to take Granny Wu back by car instead.

When Mrs. Mou heard about this, she couldn't help adding some practical and durable items such as brocade cloth, tea and snacks, as gifts to Granny Wu.

Without Granny Wu by her side, Su Yuan's life was much more free, at least she didn't have to take a bath to be nagged, but she withered after a few days, there was no other reason, she was too lonely.

Thinking of this time, her husband, Xu Shi, was still on his way to Beijing, with a long return date, she couldn't help but sigh.

Hongxia and Lvyi saw it, discussed a few words in private, and then chose to take a routine walk after dinner and suggested: "Second Grandma, the weather is getting cold as soon as you see it. After autumn, it will be winter. After winter, spring will be warmer. The young master is about to be born. Speaking of which, there are some things that should be prepared, right? For example, the nanny needs to find a clean-born and strong body, as well as a stable woman, and she also needs to find a few more safe ones. All these need to be searched slowly What! Even if you have studied medicine for many years, you will not be able to deliver yourself by then."

"Oh, I really forgot about these things!"

The words of the two maids reminded Su Yuan that these days, she was only thinking about her husband who went out, and she really forgot such an important matter.

This time and space is not a place with advanced medical skills. During childbirth, there may be serious accidents just because the fetal position is not correct. Never expect any doctor to dare to open the stomach and take out the baby. There is no other way but to wait for death.

There are also dietary adjustments and baby care during the confinement period. These must be arranged in advance for manpower to learn and adapt. If they are arranged before the delivery, the time will be too late anyway.

"Go, go and greet the old lady."

Su Yuan did as soon as he thought of it. Even though Mrs. Mou handed over the entire housekeeping power to her, the old man's consent was still required for major matters such as buying people into the house, training and studying.

Mrs. Mou ate a bowl of bone broth porridge for dinner, with four side dishes, gold and silver steamed buns and scallion egg pancakes. Although ordinary, they are all delicious and easy to digest. At the moment, they are teasing under the corridor The little grandson was endorsing the book, while blowing the evening breeze, he was really at ease.

Suddenly seeing her daughter-in-law coming over with her belly outstretched, Mrs. Mou quickly asked Liuyun to arrange a comfortable armchair for her daughter-in-law, padded it with cushions, and served jujube and wolfberry water, and then complained: "If you have something to do, send someone to come It's good to just say it, why don't you go on your own. If you get too tired, something big will happen."

After all, her gaze swept to her daughter-in-law's protruding belly, and a smile almost burst out of her eyes.

Children's minds are the most sensitive. Before Su Yuan could respond, Brother Kun suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Grandma, I'm going back to sleep first." After saying that, he lifted his legs and ran away .

The nanny who served him next to him saluted with fear on her face, as an apology for the little master, and then hurriedly chased after him with her maid.

Su Yuan guessed that the child felt neglected, so she reflected: "These days I just eat and sleep, and don't play with brother Kun, this child is probably annoying me."

Mrs. Mou waved her hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "He is just a child with a temper, don't take it to heart, he will be fine in a few days."

Su Yuan thought of her own reason for coming, and smiled and turned to talk about the things she had been thinking about along the way.

"Mother, I was chatting with Hongxia and Lvyi just now, but these two girls reminded me of one thing. Although I will give birth in a few months, the manpower needed after the baby is born has to be prepared earlier. .”

When mentioning the imminent birth of her grandson, Madam Mou sat upright, also full of interest.

"I've told you about this a long time ago. The nurse needs to find two. It's best to buy the whole family into the house, so that you can use it with peace of mind. In addition, the midwife also needs to find a safe one..."

Su Yuan was very grateful to hear Mrs. Mou's thoughtful thinking, but she still had to say what should be said. She leaned over to Mrs. Mou, hugged her arm with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Mother arranged so thoughtfully. , how should I thank my mother?"

Mrs. Mou didn't have a daughter-in-law, so she enjoyed the closeness of her daughter-in-law very much, and she smiled even more happily. She patted her daughter-in-law's arm dotingly and said: "You, eat and sleep with peace of mind, just give birth to a big white and fat grandson for your mother." .”

Su Yuan deliberately got jealous and lost her temper, "It turns out that mother loves this in my stomach more. I don't want to give birth, so I don't want him to come out to steal the limelight from me."

"Ah, there is no limit to the child's words, the strong wind blows away!" Mrs. Mou heard the unlucky words, and she didn't care to look dignified as a lady, she quickly turned her head and spit twice, and finally nodded her daughter-in-law's forehead and said in reproach: " You can't talk about this nonsense in the future."

Su Yuan stuck out her tongue, and quickly got down to business, "Mother, you also know that I have learned medical skills for a long time in my hometown, which is how to take care of mothers and children. This time I am pregnant, I am thinking about whether to buy some safe ones. When the hands come back, I will teach them how to behave while the body is not heavy, and when the baby is born, these hands will be able to help me. What do you think?"

Make friends with each other, be obedient and listen to the sound.Mrs. Mou is also a smart person. She faintly heard something different from her daughter-in-law's words, so she asked tentatively, "Do you want to take care of the child by yourself without a nanny? Is it different from the way you take care of the child today?"

Su Yuan hurriedly moved closer to her mother-in-law again, and said with a smile: "Mother, in the medical books I have studied, it was written that a woman's milk within half a month after giving birth is the most precious, and the baby will be able to strengthen the body after drinking it, at least for half a month." There will be no illness during the year. Perhaps it is the nature of mother and child, and the child drinks the mother's milk, and will be closer to the mother when he grows up."

"Is there still such a saying?" Mrs. Mou frowned when she heard this. You must know that breastfeeding the child herself is the practice of poor families. Rich and noble families never do this. Almost all the children are handed over to the nurse after birth. Women just need to take care of their bodies.But the daughter-in-law rescued the elder brother of the Chu family before, and these days she also sees the doctor for the children of distant relatives or family friends who come to see a doctor. She also sees those skills...

For a moment, she hesitated.

"Yes, mother, think about it, those peasant women feed their children by themselves, is it true that the children are born stronger than those of rich and noble families? Also, I have learned a set of massage techniques. If the children are born according to the law , the child will grow stronger and faster. And these need the help of a safe manpower, but I am young and inexperienced, I am afraid that I can't choose the right person, so I come here to ask my mother for help. As you said, in the future People will have to use it at home in the future, how can it be done if you don’t pick and choose carefully?”

Mrs. Mou nodded and thought about it carefully. The daughter-in-law just wanted to feed the child for a few days and train a few people to act according to her method. There was no major conflict with her plan. If you give orders to your daughter-in-law, you should also train them according to your daughter-in-law's wishes.

As for feeding the child by herself, people have already been talking about her when she married a medical girl and became a countess, so it's not bad.

"Well, it's up to you. I've sent someone to look for a nanny before, so let's move my hands away first. Didn't the second one leave Mou Qing at your disposal? Let him choose someone according to your mind. When the time comes, I will Take a look for you. As for how to train, you have to have a charter, take care of your body, and don't get tired."

"Don't worry, mother, I will eat and sleep well, and give you a smart grandson. But, mother..." Su Yuan's face was bitter again as she spoke, and she said coquettishly, "What if I'm pregnant with a girl?" , you can't dislike her, she is also your first granddaughter!"

Mrs. Mou recalled her beautiful dream that day. Su Yuan was like the embodiment of a merciful mother who gave birth to five or six children for her second son. She couldn't help but smile and said firmly: "Don't worry, your child It must be the kid."

"Eh, how did mother know?" Now it was Su Yuan's turn to be curious, but Mrs. Mou smiled mysteriously and didn't speak anymore.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted a few more times, seeing that the sky was so dark, Mrs. Mou asked the maid to light five or six lanterns, and sent Su Yuan all the way back to Yunqi Courtyard, and then returned with peace of mind.

Waking up early the next morning, the weather was rare, the sky was blue and cloudless, and the crops in the fields outside the city were vying for the last chance, trying to make their own fruits more abundant, even the faint autumn wind carried a hint of urgency smell.

Mou Qing was left behind by her master to wait for orders, she had been free for some time, she was bored and regretted that she didn't follow her to the capital, when she was summoned by Second Mistress, she hurriedly packed up her clothes, tidied up and went in to answer the question.

Su Yuan elaborated on the few requirements that she had pondered last night, and finally told Mou Qing, "You must be of good character, after all, you will stay in the mansion to listen to it in the future."

Mou Qing naturally also understands the importance of this addition of people, maybe some of them will be the unborn little master's team in the future.

He repeated Second Mistress's request in his heart to make sure there were no omissions. Occasionally he raised his head and saw the light blue figure standing behind Second Mistress, and subconsciously said, "Second Mistress, you are so careless. I failed my wife’s entrustment. Why don’t Second Grandma send someone to me to choose candidates together, if there is a small mistake, someone will remind you.”

Su Yuan was taken aback for a moment, followed his gaze, and saw Hongxia blushing.

"Ahem, you are thoughtful." Su Yuan suppressed a smile, and ordered: "Hongxia, you can go with Mou Qing."

"Oh, Second Mistress!" Hongxia blushed even more, she wanted to refuse but was reluctant, but she was so ashamed when she agreed, she could only goug out Mou Qing with her eyes, and she lowered her head and refused to lift it up. .

Now even Lvyi couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to push her, and urged: "Second Mistress ordered an errand, why are you refusing, hurry up."

Hongxia stomped her feet, pulled off her handkerchief, covered her face and ran out quickly.

Mou Qing touched the back of his head in embarrassment, saluted, and hurried out of the yard.

Su Yuan took a sip of warm water, happy to see the success of Fang Cai's work.Mou Qing is the right man beside Mou Yi, the old lady at home is an old man who has taken care of Mou Yi for many years, and Hongxia is her maidservant, if the two are married, it will be more considerate and convenient to listen to and use by their side in the future.

While serving the master with refreshments, the green clothes carefully looked at the master's face, seeing that the master did not show any signs of anger, Gao Ti's heart fell to the ground completely, and he began to rejoice that he was lucky, since the matter between Hongxia and Mou Qing could be approved, As long as she doesn't make any big mistakes in the future, if she wants to choose someone she likes, the master will definitely make it happen.

Thinking of it this way, she became more and more careful in doing things.

There is a false saying that if men and women match, work will not be tiring.Mou Qing and Hongxia wandered around for half a day, and they came back after noon, but their faces were all red, and they really didn't look tired at all.

Hongxia felt that the master had already acquiesced, so she stepped forward and replied generously, "Second Mistress, I found a few reputable dentists with Manager Mou, and agreed that they would bring people over tomorrow to choose from for Second Mistress."

Mou Qing also responded: "I heard that the Xiashui River in the south is flooding again, and several nearby state capitals were hit by disasters. Many people fled here with their entire families. I think Second Grandma will be able to find a suitable man."

Su Yuan was not familiar with the area of ​​the Chilong Kingdom, so he hurriedly asked after hearing this: "Second Lord, going to Beijing will not be delayed because of the flooding of the river, right?"

"No." Mou Qing shook his head quickly, for fear of frightening the pregnant mistress, "The cashui river is thousands of miles away from the capital, not to mention the river flooded two months ago."

Su Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, and rewarded the two of them before letting them go down to rest.

Just after the hour of the second day, several Yaren brought their "businesses" to the outer courtyard of the Mou family, and took turns bringing people in to visit the two generations of mistresses of the Mou family.

Su Yuan's heart is soft, and she can't see those women and children with sallow complexions who have obviously suffered all kinds of hardships. Almost all who meet the requirements want to stay, but Mrs. Mou can still hold up the majestic posture of the mistress and beat the naughty teether from time to time After a few sentences, a few inappropriate families were eliminated, and finally six families were left. All of them were young parents, and their children were three or four years old. This is easy to train and can be used for a long time.

The waiter took the money, and followed Mou Qing to the county government office to rewrite the deeds of sale for the new servants of the Mou family, and Mrs. Mou sipped tea and snacks slowly, refusing to say anything more.

Su Yuan guessed that her mother-in-law wanted to see her ability, so she arranged the six families to live in the back room, two rooms for each family.The men were assigned to stables or handymen to do work first, and then arranged for other errands after seeing their character and ability. A dozen or so children of about the same age assigned a bright little girl in the yard to take care of them first. with.As for the few young women, they will be handed over to Hongxia, who will be trained and trained every day, and finally the best will be selected to help take care of the children and serve them personally.

Hongxia was sharp-tongued, and she was afraid that the women would not pay attention, so she brought everyone to the back room and told them all about the matter before they settled down.

At the end, he said: "Madam is kind-hearted, but no matter how kind-hearted a mother is, she can't see others neglecting her children. If you serve with all your heart, and serve the little master personally in the future, the whole family will naturally benefit, but if you want to dawdle I bought you back, so I can sell you back. Is it better to live in the mansion without worrying about food and drink, or to continue wandering? Think for yourself. Get up early tomorrow and go to work, don’t be too late."

After finishing speaking, she went back, and the little girl who stayed behind was immediately surrounded by several families.No one is a fool, not to mention that Hongxia has made it very clear that in the future, whether they will have a few people in the mansion or more than a hundred people, or they will spend their whole lives cleaning the stables, chopping firewood and sweeping the floor, all depends on their performance in the next few months. If you inquire more about the master's preferences and trivial matters in the house, you will always have something in your heart.

I don't know what these people have heard from the maids, but on the second day, the young wives of the six families left their children and rushed to Yunqi courtyard early to start work.

Many of their family names are different, they are Zhang Wang Li Zhao Liu Chen.Su Yuan didn't like to change people's surnames casually, even if they bought them into the mansion, what they sold was their labor and loyalty, so the ancestors should let them keep it.

Therefore, many years later, the first batch of apprentices of Su's Baoyingtang, which was famous all over the country, started with their surnames, followed by the word "sister-in-law" respectively, which can be regarded as a distinction.

After the six women kowtowed to thank their master, they were taken down by Hongxia to teach them some simple cleaning methods. When they came back, they all felt much better.

Su Yuan took care of the trivial matters at home, and felt that she was not tired, so she took the notebook she had written earlier, and taught these apprentices the most basic nursing knowledge, and allowed them to ask questions and discuss anything they didn't understand.

The six women were a bit cautious at first, for fear that their master would get angry and punish them. Later, when they saw the master laughing at Yan Yan, and occasionally gesturing them to drink tea and snacks, they slowly let go and devoted all their minds to their studies.

They have all given birth to children, and they know more than young girls, so naturally they got started quickly.

In this way, Su Yuan's life became regular and busy. He got up early every day to deal with housework, and then took a few apprentices to study, had lunch at noon, took a nap, and taught the apprentices to practice after waking up. The young children acted as little models, and at the end they gave a few pieces of snacks, and the children grinned with joy, which made everyone happy, and the yard was much more lively and cheerful than before.

Mrs. Mou was worried that her daughter-in-law would be too tired, which would delay the growth of her unborn grandson, so she came to visit twice and found that her daughter-in-law looked very good, and the maids and new disciples around her were also attentive. Completely relieved.

If there is anyone who is dissatisfied, it is Brother Kun.Originally, my aunt seldom played with him because she was pregnant with her little brother, but now there are more strange women around her, let alone tell stories and play games with him, so her little face is often cold, and she wraps around her grandmother to complain, and the grandmother He always said that he was an older child and couldn't pester his aunt, which made him stop talking, but made him feel even more uncomfortable.
