Chapter 138 Solution
Chapter 138 Solution
The carriage was running fast and arrived in front of her in a moment. Zhao Qiqi watched the people get off nervously. Yan Sui turned back halfway, so it must be something important. She hoped that he happened to meet someone who knew about women's pregnancy, or if she was luckier, she would meet the miracle doctor mentioned by the owner of the drug store.
Gu Yantang came down and helped the person out of the carriage. It was Gu Zhaoyun.
Next came an old woman with silver hair, but she looked energetic and had a rosy complexion.
She must be a woman who understands women's childbirth. Zhao Qiqi was overjoyed and her heart was beating nervously. She quickly walked over and led the old woman down.
Everyone knew the situation was urgent, so they hurried to the room. Zhao Qiqi asked Xiang and Gu Xiaocao to leave, and she stayed outside with Gu Zhaoyun. She was really curious and nervous, so she asked, "Xiao Wu, where did you find this old lady?"
The face looked unfamiliar, so she had definitely never seen him before, and he wasn't in her original body's memory.
Gu Zhaoyun held Zhao Qiqi's cold hand and said, "Mom, don't worry. This is our school's teacher. She is very proficient in medicine and pharmacology. With the teacher here, my sister-in-law will definitely be fine."
Zhao Qiqi was a little shocked. In this era, it was really not easy for a woman to know medical skills.
Now she relaxed a lot. She knew that women were going through a lot of hardships from pregnancy to childbirth, especially in ancient times where supplies were scarce and medical skills were scarce. There were no modern prenatal examinations to check if there were any problems with the mother and child, and any small problem could easily lead to serious consequences.
The old lady checked Hu Lan's condition and touched her belly. She looked indifferent and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
"Pregnant women are prone to having their stomachs squeezed due to changes in the fetus, which can lead to indigestion and vomiting, which is also a normal reaction. Just be careful not to eat too much, get enough rest and don't overwork. Looking at her, she must have been frightened in the early stages of pregnancy, so it's normal for her to be suffering more than others now."
So maybe Hu Lan’s stomach discomfort just now was due to indigestion, and she ate again, so Zhao Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam, do you have any solution? My wife has difficulty eating due to morning sickness and she is suffering a lot." Gu Yansui asked anxiously.
The old lady smiled and said, "Just ginger can solve the problem."
"One is to take it internally, hold the ginger slices in your mouth to promote digestion. The other is to use it externally, stick the ginger slices on the Neiguan acupoint on your arm to relax the chest, regulate qi, calm the mind, and stop vomiting."
When Gu Xiaowu heard this, he hurried to the stove outside to find some ginger. Other families might not have this, but they often stewed meat at home, so ginger was indispensable. He cut it into slices, put it on a plate, and brought it in.
The old lady smiled kindly and said jokingly, "Did Zhaoyun find all the ginger within a hundred miles? Only one or two pieces will be enough."
Gu Zhaoyun blinked and felt a little embarrassed. It was indeed too much, and because she didn't know how to use a knife, the ginger slices were not cut evenly.
"The teacher said that ginger is pungent, dispersing, warming and unblocking. It can enter the lung meridian to induce sweating and relieve exterior symptoms, dispel wind and cold, and can also relieve cough and resolve phlegm. Now that winter has arrived, it is not a waste to make ginger tea for everyone to drink."
Zhao Qiqi was secretly relieved in her heart. Gu Zhaoyun now spoke fluently and behaved gracefully, without the shyness she had in the past. Besides, she originally thought that this old lady only knew some issues related to women's childbirth, but after hearing what Zhaoyun said, she must have learned a lot of medical theories in school.
This old lady was invited by Master Qu, and she is indeed not an ordinary person.
Zhao Yun is now interested in pharmacology and wanted to find the miracle doctor mentioned by the drug store owner. If the owner lived in Gujia Village or Zhaojia Village, he could send Zhao Yun to study there. Now is the perfect time.
"Yes, it seems that you have remembered everything you learned. Now that the matter has been resolved, I will leave first."
The old lady nodded indifferently towards Zhao Qiqi. She knew at a glance that the person in charge of the family had helped them so much without asking for any reward, which showed that he was indifferent to fame and fortune.
"Teacher, please don't leave. Since you are at home, please stay and sit for a while. You are Zhaoyun's teacher. Thanks to your teaching, the child has gained a lot recently. You have also troubled me to come and see my daughter-in-law. If you hadn't come, I'm afraid we would be like ants on a hot pot, not knowing what to do."
"It's just a small favor, I don't deserve any thanks. Zhaoyun, just take me back."
Gu Zhaoyun hurriedly followed and turned back to signal Zhao Qiqi to go back, and she would thank the teacher properly.
Back to the inner room
"Daughter-in-law Dashuan, are you feeling better?"
Hu Lan nodded, and her expression was much more relaxed: "Mom, it only took a moment, and I feel better. This old lady is really amazing."
"I'm glad you're okay. You take a rest for a while. I'll go cook."
"Yan Sui, don't go out these few days. Stay with your wife. I'll let your second and third uncles do the delivery."
Hu Lan immediately looked a little nervous, she didn't expect her mother-in-law to become so concerned now, but delivering goods was an important matter, she had nothing else to do now, even if her husband was there it would not relieve her discomfort, and she naturally did not want to delay Gu Yansui's business.
"Don't think too much. He has been very busy these days. I am taking this opportunity to let him take a break and spend some time with the baby in his belly. I love my son."
After saying this, Zhao Qiqi felt his face turning red, so he quickly maintained the seriousness of a patriarch and went out.
I didn't expect that as soon as I went out, Bai was already busy at the stove.
"Sister-in-law, I saw that you were busy, so I cooked for you. I've already cooked a few dishes. Just wait."
Gu Yanyi was making a fire nearby. Zhao Qiqi took a look at the dishes on the table. They were all his favorites. It was obvious that he had asked Bai to make them.
She walked over and twisted his ear as a lesson for him, and didn't say anything else. Bai was also thinking about doing a good thing. If she punished the child, it would alienate the relationship between the sisters-in-law.
She happened to have some unfinished business, so she went to the workshop to work first.
Finally, four dishes and a soup were served. Bai wanted to leave, but was kept by Zhao Qiqi. Hu Lan's morning sickness was not as frequent, and she ate a few more bites than before. Zhao Qiqi asked Gu Yansui to accompany Hu Lan for a walk in the yard, as it is always good to help digest food.
Today is the day to go to the county, and this is Zhao Qiqi’s first time to go to the county.
After sorting the goods, the soaps were placed in a pile, including both unscented and scented soaps, scattered throughout the pile, leaving only a space for a person.
Not to mention her, it was also the first time for Gu Shun and Gu Yao who were sitting in front. They didn't know the way, so they had to go to the town first and then ask for directions. They also prepared dry food and water. The situation along the way was unknown, so they had to make fewer stops.
They soon arrived at the town. Gu Shun and Gu Yao had followed Gu Yansui there many times, so they arrived there easily.
Gu Shun went down and spent a few coins to give to the street vendors. These people often walked between towns and counties, and they knew these routes very well.
Passing by the street where Penglai Pavilion is located, I don’t know what is going on, but it is very lively. There are groups of people gathered at the door, surrounding it tightly, making people curious but unable to see what is inside.
They were in a hurry, so they didn't stay for too long.
When we arrived at the county, it was completely different from Qixian Town. There were lights and decorations everywhere, tall buildings, and the people passing by were wearing clothes of good style and material. Pedestrians walked hurriedly, and stalls stood on both sides. The dazzling array of goods was dazzling. There were teahouses, restaurants, and shops, and elegant music was played one after another, complementing each other.
There were quite a few new things, which made Zhao Qiqi happy. However, she had important things to do and could not delay, so she had to deliver the goods first and then go shopping.
