In late August, all the sweet potatoes in the fields were collected. The yield of sweet potatoes harvested in one mu of land is two or three stones more than that estimated by the old farmers. After leaving enough sweet potatoes to be planted next year, the remaining sweet potatoes will be assigned to the lower counties, where local officials will send people to preach the benefits of sweet potatoes and encourage them to plant more after the beginning of spring next year.

The promotion in the city of Yanzhou is earlier and smoother than the lower counties. Many people have seen the sweet potato field outside the city, but they just don't know what is planted in the field. Now when officials come forward to publicize and explain it, they know that it is a newly discovered crop. Although they do not know about the new crops, the people in Yanzhou have a blind trust in the generals and princesses. It is said that the generals and princesses ordered the cultivation, and people with surplus grain in their families have taken grain or silver money in exchange for sweet potatoes.

A lot of sweet potatoes have been harvested, but the quantity is far from enough to be extended to the whole of Yanzhou and planted widely. An Changqing was worried about this problem, but Zhou Helan, who went to the south, arrived in Yanzhou with a caravan and stopped at the gate of the general's house.

Earlier, Zhou Helan took people to Qingzhou, Yongzhou and other places in the south to open up the business route of the original jade stone. An Changqing did not interfere in the matter of the jadeite mine, so this period of time is the correspondence between Xiao Zhige and Zhou Helan. Now he suddenly sees Zhou Helan returning with the caravan, difficult to gain and lose, and his voice has been raised a lot: "Crane Lan?"

Zhou Helan was darker and taller than before he left, and his facial features became more and more profound, and his two or three months of experience in the south had vaguely given him some momentum that an Changqing had seen in his last life.

He bent over his hand and saluted: "Princess, Helan is lucky to be worthy of his life."

With a smile on her face, an Changqing asked someone to open the main entrance of the general's mansion and welcome the merchant team in. After coming in, Zhou Helan counted the goods first, and an Changqing found that the caravans were all sweet potatoes.

Seeing an Changqing's face surprised, Zhou Helan explained: "in the previous letter with Prince, it was mentioned in the letter that Yuze sweet potatoes should be widely planted, but there were not enough sweet potatoes in Yanzhou, so I asked people to find a way to get a lot from Yuze."

Sweet potato is not valuable in Yuze, because it is resistant to barren and good planting, and the yield is high, so the price has not been sold all the time. Yuze people grow it, but it is only used to feed livestock or feed them. So Zhou Helan easily got a dozen truckloads of sweet potatoes and shipped them back to Yanzhou.

An Changqing looked at a truckload of sweet potatoes and unconsciously smiled even bigger: "I am worried that there are not enough sweet potatoes."

Asked the servants to park the carriage carrying sweet potatoes in the garden, an Changqing and Zhou Helan were drinking tea in the front hall, and some servants had gone to the barracks to report the news to Xiao Zhige, but for a moment, Xiao Zhige came back with his horse.

Xiao Zhige strode in and saw Zhou Helan's first words: "but there is news?"

Zhou Helan nodded and retreated from the caravan escort, leaving a middle-aged woman alone before she said, "Yes." It is not convenient to elaborate here. " 、

Four people went to the study together. An Changqing did not know why, and his eyes turned between Xiao Zhige and Zhou Helan.

Xiao Zhige took the initiative to explain: "I sent a letter to Zhou Helan earlier, asking him to find a way to go to Yuze to explore the news of the mackerel people."

The southern state and county of Dazu is adjacent to Yuze. Zhou Helan went to the south to do business and happened to have a chance to come into contact with Yuze. Coupled with his loyalty to an Changqing and his only relative recuperating in the royal palace, Xiao Zhige revealed the news of an Changqing's pregnancy and asked him to find a way to find out the news of the mackerel race in Yuze.

Zhou Helan was ordered to inquire about the news, but there has been no progress. On the contrary, the business of jadeite raw stone is getting bigger and bigger, fighting for gold with each passing day. When Zhou Helan came back in person, Xiao Zhige knew that there must be a clue to what he had told him, otherwise he would not have left the stall in the south and returned to Yanzhou.

Zhou Helan did find something, and he thought about it: "before, I tried to go to Yuze in disguise, from the border to the capital Fuliang, pretending to be a businessman all the way, but I had not heard a word about the mackerel people.". "

Yuze faces the sea, all kinds of sea legends are numerous, but Zhou Helan asked all the way, but never heard of rumors about the mackerel tribe. Later, he took a different approach and began to pay attention to the news of a man giving birth to a child or someone with a red tattoo, but he did not want to get it straight, really asking him to find a woman who knew about it.

"this is Mrs. Guo, who has been practicing medicine for generations, and her grandfather once delivered babies for men."

Hearing Zhou Helan mention herself, Mrs. Guo came forward and saluted slightly. She was not born tall, plump and round, with a simple and honest face. He didn't say much, and when he saw the other three looking at her, he said nervously, "Yes, when I was a child, I practiced medicine with my grandfather. I saw my grandfather deliver a baby for a man with red patterns like fish scales on his neck."

Xiao Zhige moved, but restrained his excitement: "does the lady know how to deliver the baby?" What is the difference between this man's birth and that of a woman? "

Who knows, Mrs. Guo shook her head and said, "I don't know." I was still young at that time, and my grandfather didn't let me in. "

Without waiting for Xiao Zhige's face to change, she added, "but although I didn't see the process with my own eyes at that time, when I was packing up my grandfather's belongings, I found a handbook detailing the pulse check-up during pregnancy and the process of delivery later." With that, he took out a handwritten letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Zhige with a look of apprehension.

After thinking about it, he added: "what is written in the handwriting, although it seems a little strange, it is by no means apocryphal." My grandfather was well-known at that time and was a famous doctor in Fuliang. It's just that I'm not good at medicine, and I haven't been able to get a true biography from my grandfather. "

Xiao Zhige took the letter and flipped through a few pages at random, and it read: on June 1, the patient was in labor and the fetus was in the womb, but the man did not have the device to give birth, and the fetus could not come out, so he had no choice but to have a caesarean section.

Another note: on June 5, the patient agreed to have her son removed by caesarean section yesterday. At the third quarter of Hai, the patient took Ma boiling away. I cut the abdomen with a sharp blade and took out a female fetus. Unlike ordinary babies, fetuses have a layer of placenta on their skin. The placenta falls off naturally after two hours, and the fetus has a more delicate appearance than ordinary babies, only slightly lighter in shape and weight.

Xiao Zhige's eyes were firmly fixed on the four words of caesarean section, and it took a long time to close the handwriting and said, "handwriting is of great use to me. What do you want from your ladyship?" Whatever I can do, I can exchange it with my wife. "

Mrs. Guo looked back at Zhou Helan and said, "Mr. Zhou promised me 2200 silver."

Originally thought she would be a lion big mouth, unexpectedly she only asked for 2200 silver, Xiao Zhige consciously looked to Zhou Helan for confirmation. Zhou Helan nodded: "indeed." Mrs. Guo's youngest daughter is seriously ill and needs a lot of valuable medicinal materials to support. She won't come with me until I promise her 2200. "

So that's it. Xiao Zhige was slightly relieved and said, "I will first ask someone to withdraw the money to his wife, but I will find someone to verify the authenticity of the handwritten letter. Her ladyship needs to stay at your house for a few more days." After confirming the authenticity, I will send someone to take my wife back. " 、

Mrs. Guo hesitated for a moment and nodded.

He asked someone to take Mrs. Guo down for placement, and there were only three people left in the study, and Xiao Zhige sent someone to invite Hu Youfei to come. Then he sat down and handed the letter to an Changqing.

This handwriting is clearly recorded in detail from the time Dr. Guo first came into contact with a pregnant man until he left after giving birth to a daughter.

It's just that the more clearly you write, the more shocking the process of getting pregnant and giving birth will be. Perhaps because of an agreement with the patient, Dr. Guo did not mention the patient's name and other information even in his handwritten letter. It can only be seen from the account of the two people meeting for the first time that the patient is alone and in poor health.

When the patient found Dr. Guo, he was already pregnant in April and had not yet been pregnant, but the pregnancy sickness was more serious than that of ordinary women. at its worst, he could not even eat food, and he could only eat porridge every day. Severe edema in the lower leg makes it difficult to walk. couldn't stand the heat and stayed in a dark partial room all day.

An Changqing frowned and looked at it. Although he had no vomiting and edema, he was really not heat-resistant, especially in this particularly bitter summer. In this way, this handbook doesn't seem to have been made up randomly.

Because of what was recorded in the handwriting, the atmosphere in the study was somewhat congealed. When Hu Shifei came in a hurry, he saw that all three were frowning and dignified.

His heart thumped and hurriedly saluted, and Xiao Zhige jammed a handwritten letter in his hand: "take a look at it first, is it true or false?"

Before Hu Shifei had time to sit down, he stood by the window with a handletter and looked through it carefully. for a moment, there was only a slight sound of turning over the books in the study. After reading it for a long time, Hu sighed, "this Dr. Guo is a strange man."

"is the handwritten letter real or fake?" Xiao Zhige asked.

"it should be true." Hu Shifei said, "many of the methods recorded in the handletters can still be used today." However, I read his account that the patient should have a poor physique, so the reaction during pregnancy is very different from that of the princess. The princess is in good health, but there is no need to worry about it. "

Xiao Zhige was not concerned about this. he closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a turbid breath before asking, "if the princess is in labor, does she also have to have a caesarean section?"

Hu Shifei only hesitated for a moment, then said honestly, "Yes." Men are different from women. Women are born with reproductive organs, but men do not. "

In fact, if the records of the mackerel people are true, regardless of male or female, those with red stripes can have children, then the person with red stripes must be different from ordinary people and should have another set of reproductive organs. But he later examined Yu Kui and found that he was no different from ordinary boys.

Now, combined with what is described in this handbook, his idea has been further confirmed. Either the records of the mackerel people are wrong, or in these years, the mackerel people have intermarried and merged with other people, and many of the characteristics that belong to the mackerel people have gradually degraded and disappeared.

After all, according to common sense, an Changqing's biological mother, Yu, should also be related to the mackerel clan, but Yu did not have red stripes and gave birth to a son and a daughter, but she could hardly find anything related to the mackerel clan. Even the youngest daughter an Xianyu is the same.

Hu Shifei speculates that this change may not be fixed, and that men are more likely to have it.

After hearing his words, Xiao Zhige's face sank and was silent for a long time before he said in a dumb voice, "if …". What about not having this baby? Can you have an abortion? "

As soon as the words were spoken, several people were surprised. An Changqing was the first to frown at him: "your Majesty?"

Xiao Zhige did not follow him this time, calmly said: "caesarean section is too dangerous, if there is a case …". I'd rather not have this child! "

An Changqing was silent, not knowing how to answer the phone for a moment. He wanted to accompany Xiao Zhige with his white head, but he was also reluctant to give up the child who had just arrived. He has accepted his arrival these days. If he is forced to poach him away, how can he be willing to do so?

"maybe there are other ways." An Changqing whispered, "I don't want to give up on him."

Xiao Zhige spoke harshly at him for the first time, pressing his palm hard on his shoulder, but his voice was speechless: "if you like children, we can adopt or adopt them. We can follow you, but you can't risk your life." He was determined to look at an Changqing, his voice astringent: "the child can not be, but I can not live without you."

Having already tasted the taste of hugging each other, if he were to lose him again, he would feel anxious and unbearable just to think about the possibility.

An Changqing was dumb, her palms subconsciously touching her abdomen, looking hesitant.

Zhou Helan could not bear to see this and said, "the patient was worse than the princess and survived."

Xiao Zhige shook his head firmly: "I dare not take risks."

An Changqing is more important than his life, how dare he let him take risks?

Several people were silent for a moment, but in the end, Hu Shifei exhorted: "in fact, it is not a risk." The princess is in good health, and having a child by caesarean section is only a few sufferings, but I am at least 80% sure that I can make it. "

"it's an abortion." Hu Shifei shook his head: "I'm really not sure." The princess of the woman's abortion medicine may not be able to use it. She uses it indiscriminately, but she is afraid that it will be counterproductive. "

An Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, pursed her lips and held Xiao Zhige's hand. The man's palm was cold, and an Changqing's eyes softened. To Hu Shifei and Zhou Helan, an Changqing said, "I have something to say to Wang Ye. Go and have a rest first."

Hu Shifei and Zhou Helan saluted and retreated and thoughtfully closed the study door for them.

An Changqing was not going to stay in the study. He shook Xiao Zhige's hand, smiled and said, "I'm a little tired. Will you carry me back to my room?"

Xiao Zhige kept a straight face and said nothing, but in the end, under his gaze, he squatted down to facilitate him to lie down on his back.

An Changqing put her arms around his neck, her chest close to his back, and her chin gently on his shoulder. Neither of them spoke, and the man picked him up steadily and walked steadily towards the main room.

The author has something to say: "well, you want to coax me again. I am not so easy to coax."

Here:? Really?
