There is a poem that says:
Ten months of pregnancy and birth,
A loving mother's zinc-rich body makes it difficult to lighten her body.
Young creatures see the light of day,
It can be seen that the mother is in pain.
In the long history, countless great mothers have lost their lives due to childbirth. The world only sees the smile of Tian Ding, but ignores the pain and hardship of women.
I don't know whether it was Qi Yu's piety that moved God, or whether this experienced old woman used her so-called empirical methods to avert danger. In short, Liu Quan's trip to hell was safe, and in the end... mother and son were safe!
Lord Buddha! Taoist!
You guys are so awesome!
Qi Yu knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly to the Bodhisattva a few more times!
"Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations! What a joy!" Mrs. Cong walked out of the back room with a happy face and said congratulations.
What?
I...have a son?
Qi Yu burst into tears of joy, almost crying and laughing at the same time. It was even weirder than when the original owner went crazy, making people feel horrified to watch.
The main reason why I was so excited was because it was so difficult to give birth to this child.
It's so difficult that it's a narrow escape!
"Sister-in-law Cong, thank you for your hard work. You can take this little prize first. Don't take it too little, and don't show it to others!"
Qi Dalang, who has always been frugal, actually spent ten taels of silver!
Moreover, there is not even the slightest hint of physical pain.
This time, Qi Yu really expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
Although money is good, what does it mean compared to the lives of your family?
Although this stable woman is a woman from a small family, she helped herself at a critical moment and is indeed worthy of this reward.
Faced with the white money, Mr. Cong was at a loss.
She didn't take it, nor did she take it. She was stunned for a moment.
Qi Yu said sincerely: "The reason why I turned a bad situation into a good one today is all because of your hard work. It's natural for Qi to show his sincerity, so you can just accept it with peace of mind."
"How can you be so embarrassed..." Although Cong said so, his body still stayed back honestly.
Since you have taken other people's money, you have to be more attentive.
This is a considerable gift. With this money, it is more than enough to hire a servant.
However, in Cong's view, Qi Yu's move should also implicitly express another meaning, that is, he hopes that he can take better care of Mrs. Qi. You know, I am a scholar. I am embarrassed to say it clearly when I ask for help, so I have to give hints.
But I am so smart, how can I not understand?
Cong smiled and immediately put forward his own suggestion: "Sir, since my wife was born prematurely,... her milk is somewhat insufficient." Seeing that Qi Yu was still confused, he could only explain in detail: "My It means that now this child has nothing to eat.”
ah? How can this be done? Even if we starve the adults, we cannot starve the children!
Besides, he's still so young!
Qi Yu couldn't help but frown, and felt upset.
Mrs. Cong added: "This child is less than a month old. It is a blessing to be born alive. If there is no more milk and water, there is a risk of death."
Qi Yu let out a long sigh, then bowed to Mrs. Cong and said solemnly: "Please sister-in-law to take more trouble and help me think of a solution."
Mrs. Cong hurriedly turned aside and said with a smile: "Sir, you're welcome. If this matter were placed on ordinary days, it wouldn't be a big deal. It would just be to go to the countryside to find a wet nurse. But the current situation is not good and it is messy. I guess I can’t even get out of the city gate.”
yes!
We still haven’t figured out what happened. Even if we find the wet nurse, people may not dare to come over!
Qi Yu frowned and sighed: "What can we do?"
"Sir, please don't worry. The old lady has a way. I'm afraid you won't be happy to hear it."
"Oh?" Qi Yu was startled and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, I just said it's okay. As long as I can save the dog's life, how can I be unhappy?"
After hearing this, Ms. Cong nodded and said: "To be honest, sir, I am also a man who has had children for a long time. After giving birth to the child, I also encountered a lack of milk and water. Later, the child's father came up with a way. I replaced human milk with goat milk from the family, and the result was that the child was really willing to drink it. Haha, this is how my son survived. However, my child is a lowly person, and there is nothing wrong with eating animal milk. , but your young master is different, he is a rich man, how can he eat the milk of an animal?"
What I thought it was, turned out to be this...
If nothing else, let’s talk about the milk powder of later generations. Aren’t those things made from animal milk as raw materials? Is it also considered animal milk? And it feeds tens of millions of children, so why can’t our own children eat it?
What’s more, this kind of pure natural milk is very safe to eat and contains absolutely no melamine.
Qi Yu smiled happily, nodded and said: "This is really a good idea, I agree very much. Sister Cong can just arrange it with ease, and I will thank him afterwards!"
Hearing the word "thank you", Mrs. Cong's smile became even more cordial, and she hurriedly said: "Okay, I have a ready-made goat at home, I'll go get it right away."
"..."
What a blessing!
The child has something to eat!
While Qi Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, he also had another realization in his heart, that is, why did he feel like he had read all his knowledge to the dog? When faced with such a real problem, there is not a single woman who has many ideas.
Meng Lanshan once said that every plant and tree in this world is full of knowledge. It seems to be true. Live and learn!
After resolving the current difficulties, Qi Yu felt better.
I was busy talking just now and seemed to have forgotten something~~
correct!
Brother Qi Jing is still standing outside the gate.
Haha, I'd better go over there and express my condolences.
"Brother Qi, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's okay, just a little boring."
? ?
This line doesn’t quite match...
After a few greetings, Qi Yu couldn't wait to talk about his family's birth.
"What? You gave birth to a baby?" Qi Jing laughed loudly, and then quickly congratulated her.
"Yes! Our Qi family now has a daughter-in-law!" Qi Yu also smiled happily.
…
After the joy subsided, Qi Yu asked about the cause of today's incident: "Brother Qi, what happened in Fucheng?"
"Alas, it's the Emperor Worshipers who are causing trouble again..."
It's them? This is wrong!
Didn’t those people all transfer to Shandong? Why did you come back to Yongchuan Mansion again?
"It's not what you think..."
Then, Qi Jing said something to clear up the doubts.
The truth is surprising.
It turned out that somewhere deep in the mountains in the north of Yongchuan Prefecture, the main altar of the Emperor Worship Sect was actually hidden. Compared with the previous one in Lanshan County, it is unknown how many times bigger it is in terms of scale.
The inspectors of the provincial government are not vegetarians. They actually got the news in advance and made relevant arrangements and countermeasures in advance, so tonight's crackdown was carried out.
This stronghold of the Emperor Worship Cult is very hidden. There are different opinions as to why they have been lurking and never showed up.
Some people speculated that the previous division in Lanshan County was just a ploy they used to hide from others, while the real power within the church chose to lurk. Such a person can distract the attention of the government.
However, there are still some puzzling questions.
First of all, when Ge Qiu caused trouble in Lanshan County, why didn't the believers in Fucheng respond to the request and instead stood still?
Also, why did Ge Qiu and his party take their escape route to Shandong? Instead of coming to Fucheng?
Suddenly, Qi Yu had a feeling that Ge Qiu was like a chess piece. Some of his actions were probably to attract the attention of the court, or in other words, to create some kind of activity for the main altar of Yongchuan Mansion. opportunity.
However, speculation is just speculation after all, and no one knows what the real situation is.
Qi Jing also said that this afternoon, Master Tongzhi sent someone to the Fuxue School to spread the word, saying that twenty miles north of the city, people from the Imperial Worship Sect had gathered to rebel. The governor has been strategizing and has urgently mobilized the government troops to counter the rebellion. He also warned the students not to leave the city in case something unexpected happened.
A wise man will surely make a mistake if he thinks a lot.
Unexpectedly, after the defeat, the scattered bandits did not turn to the direction of Shandong. Instead, they hurriedly fled south along the road, heading straight for Fucheng.
The city gate was not properly guarded, and some bandits actually got in.
A fire broke out at the city gate, affecting the fish in the pond?
Qi Jing said with emotion: "At night, I hid at the city gate to watch the excitement. Later, when I saw that the situation was out of control, I became a little worried about you. Fortunately, I finally caught up."
"I see."
Before, I was still worried about Qi Jing's murder, but now it seems that there is no need to do so. These people are rebels, and they will die if they die. Why won't the government investigate further?
At this time, the bandits on the street had already left, and seemed to have continued to flee south.
After a while, the pursuing government troops came over. They were fully armed and galloped past on horseback.
"Shaocheng, the city is safe now!"
"..."
Seeing that the risk had passed, Qi Jing took his leave.
Qi Yu didn't try to persuade him to stay. The house was now in a mess and was not suitable for entertaining guests. It wouldn't be too late to thank him again when the time was right in the future.
After a while, the sky became dim and bright.
The morning breeze blows slowly, and a new day begins.
Nowadays, the streets are full of interrogating government officials, maintaining order and comforting the people.
In order to eliminate the people's fear, the government immediately posted a notice introducing some of the details of the incident. In addition, he also talked about the current situation in the city.
In general, the damage was not huge. Only a few large families were robbed, and more than ten people were killed or injured. For safety reasons, the four gates of Fucheng were closed for five days. People were allowed to move around within the city but were not allowed to leave the city.
Why do you think I've become a wealthy person?
Qi Yu looked at his front door and wondered if he should make it smaller...
The yamen officers went from house to house to check, and it wasn't long before it was the turn of their own house.
As expected, the government officials simply made a record of the case and then took the body away from the yard. As for how these people died, they didn't even ask.
Of course, this is intentional.
The rampant banditry is a failure of the government. The common people dare to fight against the fierce bandits. Even if they are not commended, they cannot be blamed. Therefore, it is enough to write down the cause of death in detail.
After the yamen left, Qi Yu began to clean the courtyard, especially the blood stains on the ground, which looked very uncomfortable and had to be washed away.
Zhou was curious at first, but after learning about the situation, she instantly lost interest.
Why worry about these things? How could this be as important as the grandson's matter?
Then, Mrs. Zhou went into the kitchen and turned on two stoves at the same time. One was boiling motherwort water, and the other was boiling millet porridge with malt sugar.
These are all needed for confinement. She has prepared them a long time ago and can use them now.
