Mrs. Chen gave birth to a boy successfully a few days ago. Chen Xiuyun and her daughter are also safe. Lin Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief. Dystocia is not that easy to happen.
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "That's great. Let's go take a look when you take a bath, the day after tomorrow, right?"
"Yes." Chen Zhongqian nodded.
When Xiu Mu arrived, Chen Zhongqian and Lin Yuxi prepared gifts and prepared to go to Liu's house. Chen Zhongda also wanted to go with them and brought a lot of things to visit.
Mrs. Yang muttered in the yard, "Do you need all these good things? The birth was smooth, not tiring, and the birth was a girl. There are so many things coming to the door and I am not afraid of being overwhelmed."
Chen Zhongda turned around and said, "Mom, this is the money I earned from copying books. I didn't spend it with my family. How many times have you cared about Xiuyun after she got married? Now she has given birth to a child and you are not allowed to see her. It's really chilling."
Mrs. Yang didn't care whether Han Xin was cold or not, she only cared about the basket of eggs and brown sugar, which was a waste.
Chen Zhongda met Chen Zhongqian and others at the entrance of the village, and they went to Liu's house together. Liu Zhaofei was busy, but he was so happy that his face almost broke with laughter.
"Sit by yourselves. There are few people at home. Don't take it personally if the reception is not good."
Lin Hexi said, "You're welcome, is it convenient to go see Xiuyun and the child now?"
"Come on." Liu Zhaofei took her into the house. It was inconvenient for Chen Zhongqian and Chen Zhongda to follow her. They didn't see her until Lin Yuxi took the child out.
Liu Zhaofei put the child in Chen Zhongda's arms and said with a smile, "They say that my nephew looks like my uncle. The little girl's eyebrows are really similar to your uncle."
Chen Zhongda felt it was novel and held the child for a long time. Chen Zhongqian said, "I am also an uncle, but it's not like me."
Lin Joy said, "How else can they look alike?"
Besides, you are not my uncle.
Liu Zhaofei's face was filled with happiness, and so was Mrs. Zhang. She couldn't see, but she felt happy when she reached out and touched the child's soft little hands. She was a new kid in the family.
Mrs. Zhang said, "It's not like my nephew is fine. If you and your wife have another child, it will definitely be fine."
Chen Zhongqian smiled slightly, Lin Xixi didn't say anything, and the others just thought they were embarrassed.
After returning to the village and separated from Chen Zhongda, Lin Xiyi said, "It's quite interesting to give birth to a little life. It's such a small thing. If you look at it every day, it will grow into an adult before you know it."
"
Chen Zhongqian said, "Xiaoyu Xiaoduo also grew big without realizing it. When I brought him back, he was so small. I held one in each hand."
As they talked, both of them remembered what they had agreed upon before, that they should not have any more children.
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "It would be nice to have a little guy who looks like you and me."
"But it's very dangerous."
Lin Yuxi said, "It's not necessarily dangerous. There are not so many people who have children smoothly."
"But it's not everyone. What if you are the one who has trouble? We have two children."
Lin Joy nodded, "We don't force it. If one day it really happens, how about we look forward to it coming to the world with peace of mind?"
Chen Zhongqian hesitated for a moment, but saw some expectation in her eyes, and then nodded lightly, "Okay."
…
Du Chongwen thought that the owner of Yuan'antang was willing to help because he had spent so many years working for Yuan'antang. However, when he received a letter, he understood the real reason for his willingness to help.
The letter said that the Queen Mother's birthday would be in two months, and she needed to find a thousand-year-old ginseng as a birthday gift. Ordinary ginseng would not work, it had to be the priceless thousand-year-old ginseng.
Du Chongwen didn't know what was going on in the capital, but he knew that his employer was a nobleman in the capital and that the ginseng was for the Queen Mother, so he couldn't fool him and had to find the real thing.
He went to Yuan Antang and asked the doctor at the medical clinic to find a way to find it. Doctor Lin said, "Shopkeeper, why is the thousand-year-old ginseng so good? We at Yuan Antang have never seen it."
"Does the company that supplies us with medicinal materials have any of them?"
Doctor Lin shook his head, "No, even if there is, I won't sell it easily. May I ask the shopkeeper what he wants to do with this thousand-year-old ginseng?"
Naturally, Du Chongwen would not tell the people below him about his employer. "Of course it is useful. Please put more thought into it. I don't know if there will be any in the hands of the local wealthy family."
Everyone shook their heads. Anyway, no one has heard of anyone hiding thousand-year-old ginseng.
Time was tight and the task was heavy. Du Chongwen was so anxious that he couldn't sleep.
In the end, they could only release the news that if Yuan Antang wanted to treat a noble man, he needed thousand-year-old ginseng to be used as medicine. Now that he was buying ginseng at a high price, whoever could get it would definitely thank the noble man again after he recovered.
A few days passed, and people started to bring ginseng to the door one after another. However, it was not that long ago, and it would be too long to offer ginseng like this.
Liu Xun found that Du Chongwen had been worried a lot recently and wanted to show off in front of his father-in-law, so he took the initiative to ask Du Chongwen what was worrying him.
"My boss wants to find a thousand-year-old ginseng, but after a few days, there is no hope at all. What should I do?"
Liu Xun said, "Did my boss say that this must be done?"
Du Chongwen shook his head, "Of course I didn't say it, and my boss won't let me search alone. But my boss just promised to help you. If I can't get the thing done, I'm afraid he won't be happy. If I can find it,
With the thousand-year ginseng, your scientific research path will be smooth."
As soon as Liu Xun heard that he was involved, he became anxious, "Don't worry, father-in-law, there are many high-ranking students in the academy. I will inquire about it when I go to school tomorrow. If anyone has ginseng hidden in their home, we will buy it at a high price."
Du Chongwen agreed, but he didn't have high hopes. What could Liu Xun accomplish? This son-in-law was of little use.
August is approaching in the blink of an eye, and in a few days it is time to leave for Fucheng to attend the Autumn Festival. Chen Zhongqian is in trouble again.
It was originally planned to take Lin Yuxi with him this time. They missed each other very much after being separated for so long last time. However, Lin Yuxi fell while going to the mountains to collect herbs, sprained his foot, and his ankle was as swollen as a carrot.
Lin Yuxi definitely couldn't go with him, and he was worried that she wouldn't be able to take good care of herself at home. Her ankles were so swollen that she couldn't do anything, and she was so uneasy.
After thinking about a countermeasure in the academy, Chen Zhongqian went to the dental shop after school. The dentist found a maid who worked hard.
This is a maid who specializes in doing part-time work for other people. She will hire her when the family is busy, and the money is calculated on a daily basis. After Chen Zhongqian asked some questions, he decided on the person. Having this maid to take care of the family would make him feel more at ease.
After choosing the person, Chen Zhongqian took the person back. He was still at home these two days, which was a good time to get acquainted with him first and see if it would be appropriate for him to be taken care of by this servant woman.
