Time flies to mid-to-late April, and it has been a month since the Jin soldiers besieged Ganquan Fort.
The people in the city have long been accustomed to this kind of siege.
This afternoon, Lu Xiu had a busy day and made more than a hundred hemostatic creams. She was really tired. Her husband didn't come back, so she was too lazy to make dinner. She sat in the yard and talked to everyone without saying a word.
At this time, she suddenly felt nausea in her chest and abdomen, and hurriedly ran to the corner to vomit. Yu Lian and Yu Ying hurriedly ran up to support her and gently beat her back.
"Ma'am, does it matter?"
Lu Xiu waved her hand, "It's nothing, I may be a little tired."
She walked back and sat down again, took a sip of hot water, covered her chest and slowly calmed down.
Yang Liuer blinked and suddenly asked: "How long have you been retching like this?"
"It's been a few days, and I guess there haven't been any major problems. I just have bouts of chest tightness and nausea, but I can't vomit anything."
"Madam, please quickly ask a doctor to check your pulse!"
Lu Xiu shook his head, "It's not a big problem. What are you doing to diagnose your pulse?"
Yang Liuer covered her mouth and smiled: "Maybe you have another little Dutong in your belly!"
Lu Xiu's eyes widened, "You mean, I'm pregnant?"
"It feels very similar. I have retched just like you before."
Lu Xiu quickly asked Li Qingzhao, "Master, is this true?"
Li Qingzhao waved his hands quickly, "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, I don't understand it either!"
After a pause, Li Qingzhao said again: "It's better to quickly ask Dr. Li to take a look!"
"I'll go and invite you!" Yu Ying was so anxious that she ran away like a gust of wind.
Lu Xiu was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "You damn girl, you said wind is rain, I haven't thought about it yet!"
Dr. Li Jiliang's clinic and pharmacy were very close to them, less than a mile away. Hearing that Jiedushi's wife might be pregnant, he hurried over with a medicine box.
Li Jiliang checked Lu Xiu's pulse and said with a half smile: "Congratulations, madam, it should be a happy pulse?"
Lu Xiu was surprised and happy, and asked quickly: "So is it a boy or a girl?"
Li Jiliang smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know about this, but folk rumors say that if you are a vegetarian or a vegetarian, if you like to eat meat, you are more likely to have a baby. If you like to be vegetarian, you are more likely to have a baby girl.
"
Lu Xiu hesitated and said, "But I like them all!"
"This is just a folk saying and cannot be accurate!"
Yu Ying clapped her hands and smiled: "Maybe they are twins, one boy and one girl!"
Lu Xiu rolled his eyes at her, "Do you think it's that easy for twins to be born just like you?"
"Then should we pay attention to anything?" Li Qingzhao asked urgently.
Li Jiliang smiled and said: "The main thing is to rest more and not be too tired. I will prescribe a prescription for miscarriage immediately. I have medicine there. I will ask the medicine boy to deliver it later. As for the precautions, Mrs. Zheng should know, I will
Say goodbye first!"
Li Jiliang stood up and walked away. Lu Xiu grabbed Yang Liu'er and asked urgently: "What should I pay attention to?"
Yang Liuer smiled ambiguously and said, "He was embarrassed to say it, so he asked me to tell you!"
She whispered in Lu Xiu's ear: "You should avoid sexual intercourse during pregnancy!"
Lu Xiu's pretty face turned red, and after a while she said, "What about other aspects?"
"Doctor Li also said that you should not be too tired. If you are too tired to have a miscarriage, you should not use hemostatic ointment. I guess he will give you some more precautions when delivering the medicine."
At this time, Yu Lian reminded from the side: "Madam, do you want to inform the general?"
Lu Xiu thought about it and decided that it was still necessary to inform her husband so that he could also get a surprise.
"Okay! Go tell the general!"
"Hey!" Yu Lian agreed and ran out quickly.
Lu Xiu felt that she was really tired, so she smiled and said, "I won't accompany you anymore. I'll go back to the house and lie down first. I'm a little tired."
"It's time for us to go back."
Everyone also stood up and said goodbye
At this time, Chen Qing was inspecting several wells. Jin Bing cut off the water source of an underground river. Of course, it had no impact on Ganquan Fort. Instead of having no impact, it actually increased the water level of the wells. In fact, several underground rivers were connected.
The Jin soldiers cut off one of them, and the other two underground rivers naturally swelled.
The water stored by the people in the city has been exhausted. In the past two days, the soldiers have been fetching water day and night to replenish the water supply for the people.
The water volume of well water does not mean that it will not change if you don't use it, because it is flowing. If you don't use it, it will flow away. In autumn and winter, the water volume will be greatly reduced, but in spring, the water volume will begin to be abundant again.
Yang Yuanqing suggested to Chen Qing: "Wanyan Wushu has probably felt that something is wrong in the past two days. I am afraid there will be another large-scale attack on the city. We must be prepared, especially to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks at night."
It has to be said that Yang Yuanqing still has his role as Chen Qing's deputy general. Not only is he good at handling all kinds of trivial matters, he can free Chen Qing from the heavy military affairs and concentrate on major matters. Moreover, Yang Yuanqing is very cautious, and he can
Remind Chen Qing at critical moments.
What best reflects Yang Yuanqing's shrewdness is that Qin Hui sent Wan Qixi to Baling County to get the gunpowder barrel. It was with the emperor's edict. If he gave it, the match rope technology would be passed on to the Jin soldiers. If he didn't, Chen Qing would be carried away in Lin'an.
The crime of deceiving the emperor.
Yang Yuanqing gave four barrels of gunpowder barrels without match ropes, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone. It made Qin Hui and Jin Bing miserable. If Zheng Ping was in charge of Baling, he would probably refuse them and intensify the conflict.
Today, Yang Yuanqing reminded Chen Qing that it was entirely because of the one-month truce that the soldiers in the city were a little lax. Once they were attacked by Jin soldiers, something big might happen.
Chen Qing nodded, "You reminded us very timely, we will start to strengthen the war alert tonight!"
At this time, a soldier ran to Chen Qing and said: "Du Tong, please go home quickly! Miss Lian came to report the news, asking Du Tong to go back immediately."
Chen Qing was immediately startled, gave Yang Yuanqing a few words, got on his horse, and galloped away to his home.
Chen Qing walked into the house like a gust of wind, and happened to see Yu Ying carefully carrying a bowl of medicine towards the room.
Chen Qing smelled a strong smell of medicine. He was even more worried and asked urgently: "Ah Ying, is your wife sick?"
Yu Ying's hands trembled and she screamed because she was burned, "Don't talk to me, the medicine is spilled!"
Chen Qing quickly took the medicine bowl and walked quickly into the house. His wife must be sick.
He walked into the back room and was stunned for a moment. He saw his wife lying lazily on the bed, her hand gently stroking her belly, and her face was filled with a happy smile. She didn't look sick at all.
"Madam, are you not sick?"
"Who said I was sick?" Lu Xiu rolled her eyes at her husband with an irritated look.
"You are not sick, what does this bowl of medicine mean?"
Lu Xiu squinted and said with a smile: "This is the anti-fetal medicine prescribed to me by Dr. Li."
"Having a miscarriage?"
Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, then he was so happy that he almost spilled the medicinal soup in his hand.
He quickly put down the medicine bowl, threw himself in front of his wife, knelt in front of the bed and asked, "How long has it been?"
"Let's just get started! I've been feeling pregnant for the past two days, and Dr. Li confirmed my happy pulse today."
"Oh my! This is simply"
Chen Qing couldn't help but smile. He was so excited that he was going to be a father. The sudden happiness almost knocked him down.
Lu Xiu gently poked her husband's forehead with her finger, and a smile broke out on her face, "Look at how you are smiling. You were never so happy when you married me."
"Everyone is happy! Everyone is happy!"
Chen Qing chuckled and asked, "Did Dr. Li say anything to pay attention to?"
"He just said that I should pay attention to rest, don't get tired, eat more, and don't be afraid of gaining weight. Then Yang Liu'er told me that I can't have sex when I'm pregnant, otherwise I will have a miscarriage. Husband, for the sake of the little one, I'm afraid I have to
I feel wronged to you."
Chen Qing actually knew a little bit that sexual intercourse was not allowed in the first three months of pregnancy, but the Song Dynasty may have been more particular about not having intercourse during the entire pregnancy.
He held his wife's hand and smiled and said: "It doesn't matter to me. You have to have a good rest and not be tired. It doesn't matter if you take a walk properly. I'll tell the county government that your work in the pharmacy will stop. The army is not short of hemostatic cream. I will
Ying Yulian will also stop so that they can take care of you."
Lu Xiu nodded, "Husband, don't worry and go defend the city! Now I think ensuring safety is the most important thing. My life doesn't matter, but I want to keep my child."
"I know, I won't be careless at all."
At this moment, Chen Qing's vigilance was as high as ever, and he was about to return to the military camp for deployment.
