The Duke's Mansion left lunch, but Ning Jiayin didn't stay. She wanted to save time to visit her second aunt's restaurant today. When the old lady saw that she had made up her mind, she stopped trying to stay.
After bidding farewell to the Duke's Mansion, Ning Jiayin and Prince Jin came to the Zhang Mansion. In order not to cause panic to the Zhang family and to save time, Ning Jiayin suggested that Prince Jin sit in the carriage and not get off, leaving Ning Jiayin alone with the nanny and Of course King Jin would not object to Ding Xiang going to Zhang Mansion.
It was supposed to be lunch time. Mrs. Gong was ordering the food to be served when her servants came to announce the arrival of Miss Ning. She hurriedly welcomed her out enthusiastically. Miss Ning said that the stitches could be removed in seven days, but it turned out that it was already one day and eight days later. , I wanted to send a mother-in-law to invite Miss Ning today, but the master said to wait a little longer and maybe Miss Ning would come today. Fortunately, Miss Ning did come. Fortunately, he didn't send a mother-in-law to rush her.
When Ning Jiayin saw Mrs. Gong coming out to greet her, she wanted to go forward and salute. Mrs. Gong quickly stretched out her hands to help her up: "It's good that Miss Ning is here. Don't be polite." After saying that, she smiled at the wet nurse and Ding Xiang behind her. Everyone quickly saluted. Ning Jiayin saw the relieved look on Gong's enthusiastic smile and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Gong, are you in a hurry?"
"Where is it? Miss Ning is a doctor. She knows it well. There is nothing for us to worry about." Madam explained quickly. She could not admit that she had started to worry when Miss Ning didn't come yesterday. She was worried that the threads in her daughter-in-law's body would be... The meat grows together. Of course, I am not the only one who is worried about this.
Ning Jiayin still looked at her with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Gong. It doesn't matter if it's a day late. The thread won't grow in the body."
"Ah?" Mrs. Gong stared blankly, forgetting to take steps. Is this Miss Ning so skilled in medicine that she can see through people's hearts? How come you don't even know what's on your mind?
Looking at her expression, Ning Jiayin knew that she had guessed correctly. In the past life when medicine was advanced, some people would be so worried when the sutures were removed late, let alone the ancients who had never seen the art of suturing.
"Let's go, Mrs. Gong."
"Okay, okay" Mrs. Gong quickly took a step to follow. The mother-in-law and maid behind her all looked at each other and smiled. Her wife did say this yesterday.
Ning Jiayin followed Mrs. Gong to the young lady Liu's yard. After Mrs. Liu could get out of bed and walk around, she moved from the room where she gave birth to her child into her original bedroom.
Ning Jiayin walked into the house. The decoration in the house was elegant and warm, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly. Mrs. Liu was lying on the bed, and the child was sleeping next to her with a peaceful face. It seemed that Mrs. Liu listened to her suggestion and personally Fed.
Seeing Ning Jiayin come in, Mrs. Liu was busy getting up. Ning Jiayin quickly stepped forward and said to her, "Young lady, please don't get up. Just lie down and it will be convenient to remove the stitches."
"Do you want to take it off now?" Mrs. Liu asked. Ning Jiayin nodded: "I'll take it off for you after I clean my hands." After hearing this, the maid next to her quickly went out to get water and towels.
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu lay down again. The girl with the round face that day came up and gently lifted Mrs. Liu's quilt, and then carefully untied her cotton-padded clothes. After doing it, she stepped aside. Ning Jiayin was clean. The good hand bent down and lifted off her gauze, and everyone in the room sighed inwardly. At such a young age, Miss Ning had to clean her hands every time she came to see a doctor. She was really different from others.
"Don't worry, young lady, the wound is recovering well." Ning Jiayin raised her head and said to Mrs. Liu while removing the stitches, "Don't lie in bed all the time when you have nothing to do. Come down and walk around frequently. This will help your body recover." Ms. Liu was very convinced of her now and nodded after listening to her words.
Mrs. Gong asked worriedly from the side: "Miss Ning, isn't it necessary to lie down during confinement?" Many modern mothers-in-law of Gong's thought also understood Ning Jiayin, and she patiently explained: "Confinement is to let She should rest well and not be tired. The food should be nutritious, not just lying down. Walking appropriately, walking slowly and several times a day can promote the recovery of the body. "
Mrs. Gong nodded half-underlyingly, and Mrs. Liu was already planning to do as Miss Ning said.
Jiayin turned to look at the child again. During the confinement period, the child was doing everything except eating and sleeping. The child was wrapped in swaddling clothes and sleeping soundly. Ning Jiayin looked down at the child's cute and chubby face and pointed it with her index finger. She gently rubbed her back against the baby's skin. It felt soft and delicate and felt very good. Maybe Ning Jiayin's hands were a little cold and irritated the baby. The baby turned its head. Ning Jiayin saw a few small red spots on the baby's chin. She quickly solved it. I opened the baby's swaddling clothes and took off the clothes inside. I saw that there were many little red spots on the chest. I thought about it and pulled it out again. Sure enough, I saw that the child's legs were tied up.
Her actions frightened Ms. Liu and Ms. Gong. They quickly stretched out their heads, and Ms. Gong asked, "What's wrong, Miss Ning?"
Ning Jiayin raised her head, pointed at the red spots on the baby's chin and chest, and said to Gong and Liu in a language they could understand: "The prosperous children in the house don't need to wear such thick clothes. The baby's body temperature is inherently higher than that of our adults, and the child's cooling system is not fully developed yet. If he is hot, he will not sweat, so these little red spots are caused by the temperature in the room being too high. We need to Dress him less."
Looking at the confused expressions of the two people, Ning Jiayin sighed helplessly and said while giving a demonstration: "If the adult's hand touches the back of the child's neck and it doesn't feel cold, the child won't feel cold either."
Gong and Liu still nodded in confusion and were extremely shocked: "What Miss Ning said is different from what they know."
"And don't tie the child's legs," Ning Jiayin gave them a demonstration. "Wrap the child's left hand and expose the right hand. Change it tomorrow. Wrap the right hand and leave the left hand outside. Take turns. The children should move around and don't tie their legs up." Not only Gong and Liu were surprised, but all the women in the room who had given birth to children, except the wet nurse, had surprised expressions.
"Children are all tied up like this. What if the child's legs become crooked if not tied up?" A woman couldn't help but ask.
Ning Jiayin was not annoyed by being questioned. People in the previous life were so advanced in consciousness that even grandmothers tied up children's legs, so she patiently explained: "You see, the child's legs are bent because of his posture in the mother's womb. After all, that The place is small, and the child's bones will slowly grow after birth. It's not that you can tie him up and he will grow well. On the contrary, if you tie him up like this, it will make him uncomfortable." They couldn't understand how profound the explanation was. .
Everyone was half-understanding, with different expressions on their faces. Ning Jiayin refused to persuade him, and it was not possible to persuade him in a short time.
