Gongsun Yan has always been able to make full and reasonable use of the resources around him.
Although she didn't like the midwife threatening the mother when she first met her, her emotionally intelligent answer made her re-examine her.
In this era, the average person is illiterate, there are no government official channels to pass down talismans, and most people cannot even leave the hometown where they were born, so they live under a small sky for their entire lives.
Before the great chaos in the world, the grassroots government organized the townships with assistants, three elders, rank, stingy husbands, and wanderers.
Three of them became bishops.
The way for ordinary people to receive information from the outside world in this era is through the "knowledgeable people" in these villages.
Later, the world was in chaos, wars broke out, and the grassroots political power collapsed.
Most people became refugees and later became dependent households of powerful families.
In the manors of wealthy families, few people dare to set up a private village assistant, and they all adopt the method of dividing management and management to control the household registration and manage the villagers.
However, the management is divided into different areas, unlike the rural assistants, where the three elders and others have their own division of labor.
The bankers are poorly informed and ignorant, and most of them are dull and stubborn.
There are very few people who are as smooth-spoken and as smart as this midwife.
I don’t know if it’s because of my natural tact or because I’ve learned how to deal with people.
"What's your surname, grandma?" Gongsun Yan asked the midwife's surname and looked her up and down.
The light in the room was poor, so we could only see that the midwife was about forty years old. Her clothes were not of very good quality, but they were washed very clean.
The two of them were only a step away, and they didn't smell any particularly obvious smell.
Upon hearing Gongsun Yan's question, the midwife's eyes lit up: "My wife, my surname is Li."
"Well, grandma, don't worry, come with me."
Gongsun Yan nodded at him and called her into the inner room blocked by a screen.
There is a sleeping bed at the end. Perhaps for fear of staining the bedding, there is only a bare mat on the sleeping bed.
The mother was lying alone on the mat, with her legs bare.
She held her braid in her mouth and bit it tightly, not daring to make a sound.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and glanced, and saw a very fair-skinned and very beautiful young girl walking in, followed by Midwife Li, knowing that the person coming must be Lady Yan.
She endured the severe pain in her abdomen and spit out the braid she was biting in her mouth. She held it up with her weak hands and wanted to stand up and salute.
"Lie down quickly." Gongsun Yan quickly stopped her.
Entering the back room, the smell of blood was even stronger.
There was a stove next to the sleeping bed, and as the heat evaporated, the smell of blood and the sweat from the mother's body mixed together into an unpleasant smell.
Gongsun Yan frowned slightly and glanced at the mother.
Although she is described as embarrassed, from the exposed skin, it can be seen that she is a very young woman who is in the most youthful and beautiful period of her life.
She was lying on the bed, still skinny and boneless, with only a huge belly sticking out. There was some hay under her waist, and the grass was stained with blood and some turbid liquid.
"Do not be afraid."
Seeing her frightened expression and fits of convulsions, Gongsun Yan comforted her and said, "There are midwives and doctors here who will definitely keep you safe."
Gongsun Yan took out the cotton handkerchief from his sleeve again, squatted beside the bed and wiped her sweat, "The prophecy says that you will help verify the medical prescription. It is a great contribution and a great virtue. You will be richly rewarded in the future."
When she heard the news, the panic in the mother's eyes receded a little.
"Add some more mattresses to make her lie down softer." Gongsun Yan ordered the maid in the back room, which made Midwife Li hesitate to speak.
"No need." The person who stopped her was the woman sleeping on the bed.
There were a few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks, and she gasped: "The silk mattress is precious, don't let it get stained by blood, as it will be unlucky."
"Madam, please go farther away, lest the blood rushes into you."
Looking at her young and defeated face, Gongsun Yan was silent for a moment, "You have a good rest."
Gongsun Yan stepped back a little, knowing that standing there would only make the mother nervous.
Standing next to the case, he lowered his head and looked at the various inspection tools on the lacquer plate and linen cloth.
They were all professional medical equipment that she purchased directly from the system, as well as gauze and the like. They lay on the white linen and glowed silvery under the candlelight in the room.
It should have been separated from system interference and completely left to Zhuangzhong's blacksmiths to try and build it, so that we could know whether it could be promoted in this era.
It was just that time was urgent, so I temporarily bought it in the trader.
When Midwife Li saw Gongsun Yan's attention turned to the utensils, she knew it was time for her to take the stage, so she asked a servant girl to pour water for her to wash her hands.
Under Gongsun Yan's attention, he seriously washed his hands several times with soap.
Nowadays, soap is not a rare thing in Lone Bamboo Manor, and the price of such soap is very low in the trading machine.
In the early days, it was only issued to the military, and later it was issued to the main house. Finally, it was directly added to the list of work points exchanged at the construction site.
A piece of soap as big as the palm of your hand can be exchanged for a piece of soap in one day by an adult male mixing mortar and carrying cement at the treasury construction site.
Women, the elderly and children, even if they don't do heavy physical work, can get one piece in two days.
Farmers are not very particular about it, and most of them prefer to exchange work points for rice, grain, and salt, but some also exchange soap.
A maid held a kettle and poured water. Midwife Li carefully used a bristle brush and soap to wash her palms and nails several times.
Finally, another maid brought a corked pitcher, poured some clear liquid out of it, and gave it to Midwife Li to rinse.
Gongsun Yan could smell the strong smell of alcohol. Seeing how serious they were, he nodded.
Seeing Gongsun Yan nodding, Midwife Li's face showed a trace of joy. She felt that the good life of being a dowry and living in this luxurious main house was waving to her, and she couldn't help but want to express herself even more.
After washing her hands, Midwife Li raised her hands in a pretentious manner and walked to the mother.
Gongsun Yan stepped aside to make room for her.
Then I saw her kneeling down, examining the mother's body, and chanting in her mouth.
Pelvic size, pelvic outlet...
Then check the fetal position and fetal size.
Gongsun Yan was surprised to find that even without borrowing measuring tools, Midwife Li could accurately measure the data by making long and short thumb gestures.
And she seems to have memorized all the inspection items.
He is also very skilled in examining the abdomen and fetal position.
Gongsun Yan is not sure how accurate the data is, and she is not a medical professional.
She glanced at the mother who was giving birth, and her blood and flesh were so bloody that she felt very frightened.
"Is baby coming out?"
Gongsunyan looked at the mother's belly and saw a small bump bulging out, as if the fetus inside was moving.
Seeing such a scene with her own eyes for the first time, she felt inexplicably excited.
"Right away."
Midwife Li and several servant girls who had given birth began to move in sequence as Zhou Jing and the doctors had trained them.
Wash your hands again, take out the disinfectant towel, and bring up the pliers and gauze placed on the paint tray.
