The two of them were so playful with each other that Hua Qingxue became a light bulb and couldn't help but laugh while sitting aside.
Lu Zhengqing was a little embarrassed, smiled apologetically at Hua Qingxue, and said, "She has been pampered since she was a child. The thought of letting her give birth to a child makes me unavoidably frightened."
If other people knew that Lu Zhengqing was so nervous, they would definitely think that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. Although becoming a mother is a hurdle that women must go through, aren’t all women in this world going through this
Hua Qingxue can understand it. Because Lu Zhengqing is a doctor, he knows better than anyone else the crude production conditions here. No modern person would be able to accept the lack of routine pregnancy tests, abnormality tests, B-ultrasounds, etc. nurturing environment.
Hua Qingxue thought about if she wanted to have a child in ancient times...
It feels so awkward.
Luo Muyu blushed and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of when giving birth. I'm not afraid of it. I'm just worried about you being poor."
Lu Zhengqing shook his head and looked at his wife with a half-smile, "He who doesn't know is fearless."
Hua Qingxue: "..." These two began to show off their affection again.
Luo Muyu has a conservative personality and is not used to her husband's unavoidable style. She gently pushed Lu Zhengqing and reminded: "Didn't you say you have something to show Miss Hua?"
"Oh, yes." Lu Zhengqing laughed, "When I came in, I heard you two talking about confinement, and I immediately forgot about it."
After saying that, he handed the small porcelain bottle to Hua Qingxue with a very proud look on his face, "I heard the teacher say when I was in school that anesthetics can also be prepared with Chinese medicine, but I can't remember the exact recipe. I have been using it all these years. I've been studying how to prepare anesthetics, and I've made some progress recently, so I wanted to show you."
Hua Qingxue took the small porcelain bottle, looked around, and asked, "Can I open it and take a look?"
Lu Zhengqing nodded.
Hua Qingxue opened the porcelain bottle and poured out a few pills.
Traditional Chinese medicine is accustomed to making pills, and the dosage should be controlled when it is convenient to use.
"The final finished product formula is Datura flower, Radix Scutellariae, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Angelica dahuricae, Chuanqiong, and Fried Nanxing." Lu Zhengqing said with emotion, "With anesthetics, suturing can be truly popularized. In time, some Ordinary surgical procedures may also be accepted by the people."
Hua Qingxue nodded when she heard this. She had stayed in the military camp and had seen the pain of wounded soldiers. Military doctors usually used datura flowers collected in autumn, dried them in the shade and ground them into powder. After mixing them with three qian of hot wine, the wounded soldiers would recover in a short time. Drunk.
However, the efficacy of the medicine made in this way is not stable and the toxicity is relatively high. Excessive use can kill people. Therefore, even if they know that the wounded soldiers are in great pain, military doctors do not dare to use too much anesthetics.
Hua Qingxue put the pills back into the porcelain bottle, returned them to Lu Zhengqing, and said jokingly: "If you present this thing, Doctor Lu will probably be promoted, haha."
The smile on Lu Zhengqing's face did not diminish. As long as he is a man, there is no one who does not want to make a career.
"It feels satisfying to be able to do something practical for the people." He said humbly.
Luo Muyu was also happy for her husband.
The three of them had lunch together. Because of the anesthetic, the meal felt like a celebration party, and the atmosphere was particularly good.
After the meal, Hua Qingxue did not leave immediately, but stayed to continue chatting with Lu Zhengqing about the possibility of restoring modern technology in ancient times.
For example, infusion, the most common medical method, is easy to solve with infusion needles and bottles, but infusion tubes are really difficult for two people because there is no rubber here, so all plastic products are impossible.
The simplest infusion has become the biggest problem here.
This was a bit frustrating, but when Lu Zhengqing learned that Hua Qingxue had started making telescopes, he cheered up again.
"After making glass, you can try many things." Hua Qingxue thought that she had lit up part of the technology tree. "Mirrors are the simplest. Optical glass is a little more troublesome, but it is not impossible."
Lu Zhengqing said: "I heard that the emperor is planning to set up a mirror factory recently."
Hua Qingxue nodded, "It is already under construction, but it is mainly producing glass, and mirrors are considered derivative products."
Speaking of this matter, Lu Zhengqing couldn't help but ask: "I heard that the emperor seems to have not attended court in the past few days. Some people in the court have made a lot of noise. Will it affect the construction of the glass factory?"
"Probably not..." Hua Qingxue's tone was a little uncertain.
Lu Zhengqing was silent, thinking that Hua Qingxue was a woman after all, and she didn't know how powerful politicians were. Once things got serious, the emperor's authority would be weakened invisibly, and the instructions issued would be delayed or even shied away. The following is People who follow the wind will find various reasons to refuse the emperor's request.
The work of building the factory building was under the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry. When the emperor asked about the progress, the minister of the Ministry of Industry could just casually say that there were insufficient materials, insufficient funds, or bad weather, and the emperor had nothing to do.
Lu Zhengqing deliberately reminded Hua Qingxue and said, "Actually, if General Fu is willing to deal with it, the storm can be calmed down..."
Nowadays, everyone is making such unscrupulous noises. Firstly, it is because the people sent by King Ning are stirring up trouble. Secondly, Prime Minister Zuo and King Zhenbei have not spoken. Those ministers have heard the news and acted, and they are even more emboldened.
Hua Qingxue was startled when she heard this.
Fu Tingye…
Are you going to ask him to help Li Jingnan? But she had just had a quarrel with him... and the quarrel was about Li Jingnan.
Hua Qingxue fell into silence and did not speak.
Lu Zhengqing didn't want to disturb him, so he waited quietly.
Unexpectedly, Hua Qingxue asked him: "When you first arrived here, did you ever think about getting married?"
Lu Zhengqing was confused by this question. It took him a long time to react and replied with a wry smile: "Of course not. At that time, I always thought that I might go back. I never thought that I would stay here for ten years."
"What happened after that?" Hua Qingxue asked him, "Did you never think about anything before you got married to Mu Yu?"
Lu Zhengqing said: "The only thing I worried about at that time was what if one day I suddenly went back to my original world and left her alone."
Hua Qingxue was stunned.
Lu Zhengqing raised his eyes to look at her and said warmly: "I understand your concerns. This is a feudal era where men are superior to women. My gender gives me great conveniences and less worries than you. When a modern woman comes here, she wants to talk about marriage. , it really can’t be considered a happy event. When it comes to love, it’s too illusory, but when it comes to the actual situation, it’s too bad.”
Hua Qingxue felt so depressed that she could not breathe. She whispered: "The general may... marry me next year."
"Then do you want to marry him?" Lu Zhengqing asked.
"He is very good to me, and I also like him a little bit, but..." Hua Qingxue looked confused and didn't know what to say for a moment, "It's just... it's just..."
"It's just that you don't know whether this relationship can support this marriage, so you are hesitating?" Lu Zhengqing stared into Hua Qingxue's eyes, as if he could see her concerns.
Hua Qingxue bit her lip, and then nodded, "At first, I thought that as long as we get along well and don't take concubines or marry each other, other things that don't involve the bottom line can be discussed slowly, but... I now find that some concepts are difficult to change. of."
Just like when she defended Li Jingnan, he would think that she was a woman, that she would understand what a woman could do, and that she would be arrogant...
From the bottom of his heart, he believed that a woman should not be exposed to these things. He had always hoped that she would stay away from Li Jingnan, and this was also the reason.
Stay away from the emperor, stay away from the court, stay away from the world of men.
Although Hua Qingxue was really not interested in those things, this feeling of not being understood was really bad. Unless one of them changes, it's going to be endless bickering going forward.
No matter how strong the relationship is, it cannot withstand such wear and tear.
"I don't know if I am wrong..." Hua Qingxue felt confused, "I originally had no intention of getting married. This world is really unfair to women. Once married, everything and the woman herself belong to the husband's family, and there is no longer any Any private property, if a woman flirts with a man outside, she will have nowhere to complain when she is beaten and scolded by her husband's family after returning home. I heard that there are women who were beaten to death by their husbands, and the husbands do not need to be responsible for their lives. Even if they report to the official, no one will No matter... I later found out that the husband had misunderstood his wife, but she was already dead and everything was irreversible... "
Lu Zhengqing sighed silently, "Such a thing does happen, but after all, it is a minority. Not everyone is so cruel..."
"Those who have a natal family are usually sent back to their natal family. Those who don't have a natal family... just like me." Hua Qingxue thought of her own situation and became even more uncertain about the future. "Once the husband's family doesn't like it, some will be kicked out directly, and some will be kicked out directly. After being beaten and scolded, she is sold to someone else... The fate of a woman who has no support from her mother's family after marriage depends entirely on the mood of her husband's family."
Fu Tingye may not use those despicable methods, but once the relationship breaks down, both of them will face the ugliest and coldest faces. Does she still naively expect Fu Tingye to remain gentle when he lets her go
Hua Qingxue felt depressed, "... He was so good to me that I got a little carried away and selectively ignored the facts in front of me. I suddenly realized that if I married him, one day he would not be nice to me. I What should I do? I have no relatives or friends here, and I... I regret it a little. "
"Then don't make a decision in a hurry." Lu Zhengqing comforted her, "When you calm down and think everything through, then think about the road ahead."
"I really want to go home..." Hua Qingxue glanced at him and smiled bitterly, "When I came here, I didn't miss my hometown that much because of my amnesia, but now... I really want to go back..."
At least in that world, a marriage doesn't have to bear such a heavy burden. If it's not suitable, it can be divorced.
But here, want a divorce? It's almost impossible... Especially, the person she wants to marry is still so aloof. If the relationship really breaks down, Fu Tingye will kill her with a knife in a rage...
The door creaked.
Luo Muyu stood at the door with a pale face, looked at the two people in the study and said, "...the general is here."
Lu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, then stood up and prepared to greet him, "Are you at the front? Have you served tea?"
Before he finished speaking, a tall figure walked in from behind Luo Muyu—
Fu Tingye looked directly at Hua Qingxue, his eyes as sharp as a sword!
