Zhulan got up in a hurry and went to Mingteng's yard. When she arrived, the old man was there too. "Fourth uncle, the child won't be born for a while. You go back and rest first. I'll send someone to notify you when the baby is born."
Rong Yuhan sat on the chair with his buttocks, as if he was glued and didn't move. "I don't get much sleep at my age. I'll stay here, you go back first."
Zhulan couldn't leave. She was afraid that if Liu Jia gave birth to a girl, the old man would be upset and say something. She couldn't persuade the old man to leave, so she could only stay with him.
Ming Teng sat aside without saying a word. He did not favor sons over daughters. Boys and girls were all his children. He just glanced at his great-grandfather and got a headache.
This was Liu Jia’s first child. She had a miscarriage during pregnancy and the delivery was not smooth. It was already dawn, but the baby was still not born.
When Zhou Shuren went to court, he sent someone to inquire before he went to court in a carriage.
Ran Wan didn't come last night. Mingyun was not at home. Ran Wan needed to take care of two children, so she came after breakfast.
Mrs. Li was a little listless. "Have the two children had breakfast?"
Ran Wan replied, "I ate it. They asked about it because they didn't see you in the morning."
The smile on Mrs. Li's face deepened. Although she came from a poor family, her granddaughters and grandsons all liked her. Ahem, they especially liked the food she cooked.
Zhulan saw that her fourth uncle had finished his nap, but the old man refused to go back to rest. She glanced at Ma, who was chanting Buddhist scriptures the whole time.
Zhulan felt a little tired. She hadn't endured this for a long time and really couldn't bear it. If Liu Jia's situation wasn't special, she really wouldn't have come to watch over him.
Time passed little by little, until noon, the child had been born for eight hours, and the people waiting outside were worried. Liu Jia had also drunk the ginseng soup, but the child was still not born.
After another half an hour, the baby's cry was heard. The baby was born, finally born, but Liu Jia's condition was not good. The people waiting outside didn't know the baby's gender yet, but they heard the sound of heavy bleeding.
Ming Teng stood up suddenly and said, "Call the imperial physician."
Rong Yuyun looked at the delivery room, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. The woman came out holding the child, "A little boy weighing more than five kilograms."
Rong Yuyun's eyes widened. He had already accepted that this baby was a girl, and there was an accident. Seeing that everyone was looking at the delivery room, the old man stretched out his hand and said, "Hold her here."
The old woman carefully took the child over and said, "The doctor just checked and said the child is a little weak and needs to be taken good care of."
Rong Yuyun held the child as if he were a treasure. This was the treasure of the Rong family. He lowered his eyes and held the child with no intention of letting go.
Liu Jia felt relieved when she knew she had given birth to a son, but she was bleeding heavily and her eyes were wide open. She didn't want to die. She couldn't bear to leave her husband and child. She knew that if she died, Ming Teng would remarry, and Ming Teng would have to take on the responsibilities of the Rong family if he was adopted. She seemed to see and hear the bleeding stop, and also heard her mother crying.
Zhulan leaned back in the chair, the bleeding finally stopped. Liu Jia had a very dangerous experience today.
After the imperial physician wrote the prescription, he glanced at Prince Rong before speaking, "The prince's wife is injured and needs to be well taken care of for a few years."
Zhulan has always known that the imperial physician's words are exaggerated. Now he said it would take a few years. The real situation is more serious. She cannot get pregnant for at least five years. The only thing she is thankful that he did not say that she cannot get pregnant.
Ming Teng then remembered his newly born son, and that he already had a son. Otherwise, his great grandfather would not force him to divorce his wife, but would have arranged a woman for him. "I'm sorry to have troubled you these days."
Imperial Physician: "You are too polite, my Lord."
After hearing what the imperial physician said, Ma's heart skipped a beat. If her daughter married into a wealthy family, she would have to give birth to many children. But she had hurt her body with the first child. The old man of the Rong family didn't like her daughter in the first place. What should she do
Zhulan wanted to see the child, but she searched the house but couldn't find the child. The child couldn't be lost, so the old man must have taken him away. Zhulan, "!!"
Li also reacted, "Mom, my uncle took the child away. Do you want to raise him yourself?"
Zhulan, "Isn't it obvious what the old man meant?"
The child was taken away just after being born. Zhulan closed her eyes. In the old man's heart, the Rong family was the most important. The family heritage engraved in their bones could not be changed by anyone.
Ming Teng was dumbfounded. "Great grandfather didn't say he would raise the child himself."
Zhulan looked at the unconscious Liu Jia in the delivery room and said, "I'll tell you about this when your grandfather comes back."
She didn't agree with the old man taking her away to raise her. The old man didn't like Liu Jia in the first place. Didn't Liu Jia have any grudges in her heart? Even the most generous people have thorns in their hearts.
At the morning court, because of the memorial submitted by Zhangzhou, the whole court looked at Lord Liu and Zhou Shuren. They did not believe in coincidence, they only believed in secret manipulation. The eldest son of the Liu family went to Zhangzhou to take office, and some people were gloating. Zhangzhou was not a good place.
Now that I know the content of the memorial, I want to curse. The emergence of finished medicines and the establishment of pharmacies all show what we understand. The country needs medicinal materials, large quantities of them. If we want to lower the prices of finished medicines, medicinal materials must be widely available, and planting medicinal materials is inevitable.
Now that Zhangzhou has taken the lead and has gained experience, it was taken down by the Liu family. It would be strange if the ministers in the court felt comfortable with it.
The emperor didn't care about the lawsuit below. He had already talked to Zhou Shuren yesterday. Zhou Shuren had bigger ideas than him. He wanted to make ready-made medicines affordable for people all over the world. In the future, there would be pharmacies selling ready-made medicines in every town. Of course, Zhou Shuren also calculated the tax revenue brought by the ready-made medicines, and the emperor swallowed his saliva.
The emperor motioned for silence, and then he said, "Zhangzhou has complete experience. I have decided to use Zhangzhou as a pilot. This year I will see the results of Zhangzhou's medicinal herb planting."
Pilot project, the emperor listened to what Zhou Shuren said.
Old Master Liu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is wise and holy. Long live the Emperor."
No matter how unwilling everyone was, it was of no use. The emperor had made up his mind that the Liu and Zhou families had kept the secret too well, and it was too late for them to find out.
After the morning court session, Zhou Shuren and Old Master Liu walked together. Old Master Liu smiled and said, "I want to thank Lord Zhou."
He knew that Marquis Zhou stayed in the palace yesterday and the memorial was brought to the capital yesterday. Without Marquis Zhou's speaking in front of the emperor, the emperor would not have made such a direct decision today. At the same time, he was worried about the influence of Marquis Zhou on the emperor.
Zhou Shuren likes people who understand. "If you really want to thank me, then be nice to my granddaughter. Yudie is a lively girl, so please bear with her when the time comes."
Old Master Liu was stunned, and then a warm color rose in his eyes. Marquis Zhou even valued his granddaughter so much. People who love their descendants can't be too cruel. "Yudie doesn't need me to protect her after she marries. My Yuanbo will protect her to death."
He was also very upset that he had a grandson who tried to please his father-in-law. Although he felt relieved to see his son feeling aggrieved, as he had also felt aggrieved in the past, he still felt heartbroken. Those were treasures that the Liu family had accumulated over the years, and not much was lost during the war. Instead, they were sent by the thief in the family to please his future father-in-law!
