It was a bleak night in the autumn rain. Because Chen Danyan was not in good health, the group of people who had been walking slowly separated, and Chen Tiedao's family took her to Xijing first.
Chen Liehu and Chen Suosheng's family continued to walk slowly with Chen's mother.
The housekeeper had purchased a house and land in advance. It was very simple, but at least he had a place to stay. Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Danyan had a seizure on the third night after arriving home, much earlier than expected.
The housekeeper was well prepared and found out about the famous midwives in Taiping Town in advance, and braved the rain to invite two of them, but basins of blood kept coming out——
"No, this kid is stuck."
Xiaodie stood outside the door. She kept crying because she was too scared and could not help. Po Wen and Mrs. Chen Er kicked her out. She felt that the rain in the sky had turned into blood.
"This child should not be kept." Chen Tiedao murmured outside.
It would have been better to abort it earlier. Now that the child cannot be born, Chen Danyan has to be taken away. The eldest brother has already lost his eldest son and abandoned his youngest daughter. When he comes, his eldest daughter is gone too. How can he still live?
Here, his wife was crying, the ladies were shouting, and there was a heavy wind and rain in front of him. Chen Tiedao was in a trance, and there was a banging on the door in the wind and rain.
"What's going on?" Someone yelled outside the door, "Is someone sick? Open the door quickly, I'm the doctor."
Chen Tiedao opened the door and saw a scribe wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, holding a medicine box in his hand.
"I was passing by here to stay overnight." He pointed to the next door. "I heard crying in the middle of the night and came over to take a look."
Although the appearance of this doctor was too weird, it was a life-saving straw for the Chen family at that moment. They invited him in, and with a few silver needles and a pair of decoctions, Chen Danyan saved the day and gave birth to an almost lifeless baby.
——
It was this doctor again, rubbing and acupuncture for a while, and finally the delicate cry of a baby could be heard in the windy little yard.
The doctor who called himself Yuan stayed next door for another three days, and did not leave until he was sure that the mother and child were out of danger.
After more than a month, I came back, saying it was for a return visit, and then took out a letter from the medicine box.
It turned out to be a letter from Chen Danzhu, and he also revealed his identity.
"I am the doctor of the Sixth Prince's Mansion. I am the Iron-faced General. I have been entrusted by Miss Danzhu. Please take care of you."
Xiaodie still remembers Mr. Chen Er's expression at that time. It was incredible that Miss Danzhu could make the Iron-faced General come forward and entrust the Sixth Prince. Miss Danzhu is really powerful - but.
"If eldest brother knows about this," he immediately whispered to Chen Danyan.
I'm afraid I won't let Dr. Yuan in again.
Chen Danyan, who was lying in bed and recuperating, said softly in the tent: "Then don't tell father, Doctor Yuan is my and Bao'er's lifesaver. He is a doctor with excellent medical skills."
So Chen Liehu and others arrived in winter, and they told him about the dangers of Chen Danyan's delivery, and that he received help from a passing doctor, but they did not tell him about the doctor's true identity.
Doctor You came here regularly. In addition to treating Bao'er and taking care of his health, he also gave Chen Danyan a letter from Chen Danzhu when no one was prepared.
Although Dr. Yuan did not care about the rest of their lives except for treating diseases and delivering letters, Chen's mother successfully survived the winter with Dr. Yuan, and the unfamiliar villagers around her also got a lot better because of the doctor's relationship with them.
.
Xiaodie stood in the yard and thought, the eldest lady is still there, Mother Chen is still there, and the whole family is still here. These are the best days, thanks to Dr. Yuan, no, or rather thanks to the second lady.
Does the eldest lady really not reply to the second lady?
She couldn't help but look at Chen Danyan again. Chen Danyan stood up with her child in her arms: "Xiaodie, look at Bao'er while I go to sew father's old clothes."
Xiaodie hurriedly answered and took the child.
Doctor Yuan, who walked out from the crowd of villagers, looked back and saw that the courtyard door was still ajar, but no one came out.
He whistled, and the little donkey that was nibbling the twigs and leaves of the flower stand on the wall of a certain house came back. Mr. Yuan said goodbye to the villagers and headed out of the village while the children were running and playing.
There is a fertile field outside the village. The heavy work has been done. The remaining weeding can be done by children and the elderly. At this time, a group of children are busy in the field - some children are holding branches, and some are carrying baskets. You chase
I drive, you come and I hide, sometimes the branches are dragged on the ground and used as horses to ride on, sometimes they are lifted up to use as spears.
This is the simplest and favorite fighting game for children.
Mr. Yuan glanced over with a smile. In addition to the children, there was also an old man who seemed to be very interested.
This old man was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, with his cuffs and trousers rolled up. He had a hoe and a basket beside him. There was only half a basket of grass in the basket. He was holding a branch in his hand and pointing at a few children, who followed him.
He ran around here and there with his guidance.
Mr. Yuan stopped and squinted his eyes to watch with interest. Following the old man’s instructions, the few rural children used tree branches as horses and baskets as weapons, and they actually faintly ran out of the outline of the military formation——
But children are children after all, and they don’t really listen to instructions when playing. They quickly run into chaos and fight together. So one side wins and the other loses. The winning children cheer and the losing ones are dejected.
The old man seemed to say something dissatisfied, and the losing child immediately became angry and grabbed the earth and rocks and threw them at him.
"I want you to talk too much!" "It's all because of you! If you hadn't been so troublesome, we wouldn't have lost!" "Go away, you weird old man!" "Old cripple, don't play with us!"
The children yelled and cursed and threw rocks, rocks and weeds at them.
The old man didn't get angry, he raised his hands to avoid it. Another villager in the distance saw it and shouted, "What are you doing?"
The children dispersed in a hurry.
The villager came over angrily and asked with concern. The old man waved to him, grabbed the hoe, stood up, and limped into the field - it turned out that he was really a lame man.
His rickety figure was weeding in the field, his movements skillful like a real farmer.
Mr. Yuan looked away, smiled, and walked away.
It wasn't until he was far away that the old man weeding stopped. The villagers from before also came over and whispered: "Sir, that Doctor Yuan is here again."
Chen Liehu glanced at the butler, whose face was full of smiles.
When Chen Liehu looked at her like this, the housekeeper stopped smiling and murmured: "Second Miss has written again."
Chen Liehu didn't answer, and just said: "Let's hoe the grass. If it rains a few more times, it will be too late."
The housekeeper yelled and started weeding with a hoe.
Chen Liehu glanced at the figure walking away, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Even the people from the Sixth Prince's Mansion could be invited. Chen Danzhu, what kind of whirlpool are you in?
...
...
There was a light scolding from Peach Blossom Mountain, and two arrows were shot out at the same time, both hitting the bullseye steadily.
Yan'er Cui'er and the two little palace maids clapped their hands happily, "Our young lady (princess) has won!"
Chen Danzhu, who was tying up her sleeves and holding a bow and arrow, and Princess Jin Yao looked at each other.
"Does that count as a draw?" Princess Jin Yao asked.
Chen Danzhu said: "Okay, the princess is a guest, so we can't keep losing."
Princess Jin Yao laughed angrily at her: "Just wait, we can compete again after I return to the palace and practice."
Yan'er Cui'er hurriedly invited them to have a rest and come over to drink tea. As soon as the two of them walked over, A Tian came over happily with a letter, "Miss, the general has sent a letter."
