"Fourth Uncle—"
Zhou Zhoulang, who was whispering in Manbao's ear, was taken aback. He looked back with horror on his face, and saw Zhou Lijun standing in front of her door with his hands clasped and staring at him.
As soon as Zhou Zhou Lang saw her, many words were stuffed in his chest, and he turned and slipped away.
Man Bao watched him run away, and asked Zhou Lijun curiously, "What kind of business does fourth brother want?"
Zhou Lijun complained to Man Bao, "Fourth Uncle has a very big heart. He only wants to do gem business with merchants from the Western Regions."
Zhou Lijun gestured to Man Bao, "Such a big stone costs dozens of taels. I heard people say that you can get a share of the money when you send it to be polished and carved. The cost of getting a stone is nearly a hundred taels."
Man Bao was speechless, "So expensive?"
Zhou Lijun nodded, "If you buy ten gemstones, it will be one thousand taels. Even Miss Liu, a rich lady, can't easily buy gemstones. What should fourth uncle do if he can't sell them and throw them into his hands?"
Man Bao nodded, "It's neither edible nor drinkable, basically useless."
Man Bao hugged his medicine box tightly and decided to ignore Zhou Zhou Lang.
She put down the medicine box and ran back to ask Zhou Lijun, "How is Zhuangzi?"
Zhou Lijun smiled and said, "It's already half built, and it might be almost finished when Uncle Liu holds a wedding."
As soon as Man Bao was satisfied, he and Bai Shan Bai Erlang planned to buy some flowers and plants and take care of Zhuang Zi.
Yin Huan heard that he even selected a few good pots of chrysanthemums from his own garden to send to Man Bao. Liu Huan saw it and felt that as a friend, he had to support him a little bit, so he ran home and took a look around. In front of his grandfather's study, he dug up a fortune tree and sent it to Man Bao.
When Man Bao saw it, he was overjoyed, and immediately asked: "Do you have any more, please give me another one."
Liu Huan was taken aback, "Is this tree unusual? I picked the smallest one to dig, no, I mean, it's not too obvious when I dig one tree, but it's too obvious when I dig two."
Man Bao stared at the young sapling in front of him, "It doesn't look like a good branch."
Liu Huan said: "You keep it. When it grows up, it can branch. At the beginning, my grandfather only planted two trees in the flower bed in front of the door, but now there are many branches."
Man Bao weighed it up, and felt that it would be difficult to support her if she was separated, so she might as well give it all to Keke.
However, it was impossible for her to put away the things under the watchful eyes of everyone, so she also put them in flowerpots and decided to move them to Zhuangzi before taking advantage of the chaos to collect them.
Man Bao and Liu Huan said: "I'll go to your house to play when I'm free."
Liu Huan felt that her enthusiasm baffled him, but he still nodded, "Come when you are free."
He had no problem anyway.
Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao and said nothing.
This time Xiumu Manbao also went to the Yang Mansion to check on Mrs. Cui. Mrs. Cui has a big belly and swollen feet, so she doesn't dare to walk more.
Man Bao touched her belly and felt that the fetal position was still right, so he asked: "The doctor's calculation is only two days?"
"Yes," Cui became more nervous as the day approached. She held Man Bao's hand and said, "I always feel flustered. I can't sleep well every night. Man Bao, do you think my belly is a little bit tight?" big?"
It's a bit big, but Man Bao smiled and comforted her with an unchanged expression: "It's normal, don't scare yourself, I'm going to work in the palace tomorrow, but senior brother is also working in the palace, if you If it is activated, let someone tell the senior, and the senior will take me out of the palace."
Cui Shi was still a little nervous, so Man Bao continued: "But you may not be able to wait until my Chongyang holiday."
The Double Ninth Festival is a big festival, and the imperial court also has a holiday. They can leave the palace in the evening of the seventh day, and the eighth day is the day when her sixth brother gets married, and they will not enter the palace until the tenth day.
Cui counted the days, let out a sigh of relief, smiled at Man Bao, and said, "You are right, maybe the child may not be two days late, but Mrs. Wen said that it is normal for her to be a few days sooner or later. "
Man Bao nodded approvingly.
As a result, the child just couldn't talk about it. Man Bao had just returned from watching her in the morning, and she was lying on the bed at night to go into the system to attend Teacher Mo's class, when there was a knock on the side door of their house.
A servant of the Yang family rushed to report, "Physician Zhou, my wife is about to give birth, and my uncle asked you to go see the doctor."
Man Bao regained her energy in a flash. She looked up at the sky, then turned around and took the medicine box and went out.
Bai Shan stood at the gate of the courtyard looking at her, and asked, "Do you want to go with you?"
Man Bao refused, saying: "You have to go to the palace to study tomorrow, I'm fine with asking for leave, but it's not easy for you to ask for leave."
Bai Shan didn't worry about her too much, he nodded and said: "All right, be careful yourself."
Man Bao and the servants from the Yang family who came to pick her up hurried out, Fang and the others were also awakened. It was the first time for them to see someone coming to see a doctor at night, and they were a little surprised.
Zhou Liru ran out and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want me to go with you?"
Man Bao looked at her, weighed it up, and then refused, "You don't need to learn this now, wait for two years."
Daji silently followed.
Everyone is also used to it, and after sending people out, they go back to their houses to sleep.
Bai Shan yawned, he was obviously sleepy, but he couldn't fall asleep, he turned over and thought to himself, there shouldn't be anything wrong with Brother Yang.
Daji drove the carriage into the Yang Mansion, watched Man Bao go to the backyard with a maid, and then followed the young man of Yang Mansion to turn around and go to the porter to rest.
In the backyard, the yard of Yang Heshu was brightly lit, and Mrs. Hou Ye, the second wife of Lord Hou, was directing people to deliver things in. When Cui's screams came from the room, Man Bao couldn't help shaking when he heard it. , while Yang Heshu was standing motionless in the yard, Man Bao trotted forward and asked, "Brother Yang?"
Yang Heshu trembled, slowly came back to his senses, looked sideways at Man Bao, and finally focused on it after a while, "Man Bao is here, go in and have a look."
Seeing his erratic voice, Man Bao knew that there was nothing to ask from him, so he hurried into the delivery room.
There were two stable women delivering Cui Shi's baby inside, and when she saw them pressing Cui Shi's belly, she was startled, and hurried forward, "What are you doing?"
The two steady ladies were also taken aback, seeing that it was Zhou Man, they immediately said: "Doctor Zhou, please come and take a look, Madam fell down after dinner, and she became popular on the spot. Four fingers were opened, but the amniotic fluid... We are afraid that the child will be bored in the stomach too late."
Man Bao rolled up his sleeves and said, "Get some hot water first, is the oxytocin medicine boiled?"
"It's over, it will be fine in another two quarters of an hour."
The two families were too close, Cui sent someone to invite Manbao just as soon as Yang Heshu fell off, so she came very quickly, and the medicine was not ready.
