Liu Xun looked at the ginseng almost greedily and said hurriedly, "Father-in-law, this ginseng must be bought. The boss's men happened to be at home. Just leave it to them."
Du Chongwen didn't speak, but he had already made a decision in his heart. He wanted to buy the ginseng, but if Jiaojiao was in danger, it would be useful.
"How much does this ginseng cost? I want to buy it."
Lin Yuxi knew that Yuan Antang was looking for ginseng, and heard Liu Xun just said that their boss wanted it, so he raised the price.
"It seems to be two thousand taels."
Du Chongwen was shocked, but the price for such a good ginseng was not high. The owner also said that no matter the price, just buy it.
"Okay, I want this ginseng."
Lin Yuxi glanced at the apprentice of Renjitang, who immediately said, "This ginseng is the treasure of Renjitang, and it is not what shopkeeper Du wants. If it is cut and used as medicine, shopkeeper Du will regret it later...
…”
Du Chongwen immediately said, "Give me the money now, I want the ginseng."
Lin Yuxi asked Doctor Gu to wait outside. If the ginseng was needed, it should be sliced and sent in immediately. If not, there was no need to use it. Once the knife was used, the ginseng would no longer be so valuable.
Du Chongwen cried with joy. He didn't expect that Renjitang would hide such top-quality ginseng. Why didn't he think of looking for Renjitang?
However, if Du Xuejiao's life had not been in danger, he would not have lowered his head to find Renjitang. After all, he was a mortal enemy.
Liu Xun stared at the ginseng and said, "Father-in-law, my boss is pressing hard. If I don't hand over this ginseng, I'm afraid..."
"Shut up!" Du Chongwen looked at him fiercely, "Is it more important to you to please your boss than Jiaojiao's life?"
"If Jiaojiao is fine, I will naturally give them the ginseng to bring to my employer. But if something happens to Jiaojiao, I would rather not be the shopkeeper of Yuanantang to save my daughter. It is not your turn to make the decision in this matter."
Liu Xun gritted his teeth. He didn't understand. If he offended his boss, what good would they get? By then, the old man would no longer be the shopkeeper of Yuan'antang. Everything he had now was gone, and there was no one to help him with his scientific examination.
Du Chongwen's heart and eyes were full of Du Xuejiao, but Liu Xun was only thinking about delivering the ginseng to the owner of Yuan'antang.
He knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he pretended that he only cared about Du Xuejiao, but in his heart he was thinking about how to take away the ginseng.
"My father-in-law is right, everything comes first. After all, the child in your belly is my child."
With tears in the corners of Du Chongwen's eyes, Liu Xun said, "Father-in-law, go sit in the house for a while. He won't be able to give birth for a while. I will call you after the baby is born successfully."
Du Chongwen was indeed a little unable to stand. He turned around and wanted to go to another room. Liu Xun said, "Let Dr. Gu hold the ginseng. If necessary, he can slice it into pieces immediately to save people. If anything happens, I will tell you immediately."
He acted sincerely, and Du Chongwen didn't believe that he had the guts to make his own decisions, so he handed the ginseng to him, "Jiaojiao needs something, please come and tell me right away."
"good."
As soon as Du Chongwen left, Liu Xun took the opportunity to go find someone sent by the owner of Yuan'antang, "I found the thousand-year-old ginseng."
The man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "Where is it? Take it out quickly."
Liu Xun took it in his hand and showed it to him. The man hurriedly said, "It's really the best. You have done a great job this time. I will definitely report it to the master."
"Thank you. I didn't know that my scientific examination this time..."
The man smiled and said, "It solves the master's urgent need. It's nothing to do with a mere exam. You can just take it. I will leave for Beijing today and I can still make it in time."
Liu Xun smiled slightly and said, "Go slowly."
After the others left, Liu Xun's eyes changed, he went back to his residence, picked up his baggage, and secretly left the Du family.
He is going to Fucheng tomorrow, so what if he leaves today? Anyway, now that his employer has agreed to help, there will be no problem in Qiu Wei this time. Once he becomes a scholar, or even a Jinshi, what will the Du family dare to do to him?
Sample?
In another small courtyard, no one noticed that Liu Xun was missing, and everyone focused on Du Xuejiao.
Wen Po said that the cervix was almost dilated, so Lin Yuxi cooperated with her and started delivering the baby. As long as the baby could be delivered smoothly, there was no need for a cesarean section. After all, the risk of infection was still very high.
Lin Hexi had ginseng tablets in her medicine box, and she gave them to Du Xuejiao first. Fortunately, she was strong and able to cooperate. Now it seems that there is a high possibility of a natural delivery.
The baby is in the right fetal position and not too big, which is good news. If it is stuck and cannot be removed, you only need to make a side cut and use pliers to pull the baby out.
When Lin Yuxi took a closer look, she actually found a bleeding point. After clamping it with pliers, the bleeding was significantly reduced. She breathed a sigh of relief. Du Xuejiao was much safer again.
"Try hard, half of the baby's head has come out now. If you keep working hard, it will come out soon."
Du Xuejiao grabbed the sheets under her body, gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay...I, understand..."
Po Wen was also quite experienced. In cooperation with Lin Yuxi, the child was actually born smoothly. They both couldn't believe it when they burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, I've given birth, I've finally given birth." Mrs. Wen hurriedly carried the baby to clean it up, while Lin Xixi stitched Du Xuejiao's stitches.
Although there was no cesarean section, a knife was used. Du Xuejiao's delivery was still quite painful. There was no heavy bleeding yet, but it was not safe yet and needed further observation.
Du Xuejiao kept gasping for breath, and Lin Yuxi said, "It's over, you're still alive."
"Thank you... thank you." Du Xuejiao looked at Lin Joy with tears in her eyes. She didn't expect that it would be Lin Joy who came to help her deliver the baby in the end, and he wanted to help her wholeheartedly. What she said before was really inappropriate.
Lin Hexi said, "My consultation fee is not cheap, and you don't have to thank me so quickly. I still have to charge you what is due."
Du Xuejiao smiled and said, "I won't miss you. Am I giving birth to a boy or a girl?"
Po Wen had already wrapped the child and sent it over, "She's a little daughter, she looks very good."
Du Xuejiao had been looking forward to giving birth to a boy, but now that she was a daughter, she didn't feel disappointed. She smiled slightly. She didn't dare to move around when she was lying down, so she reached out and touched the child's face, "I have a daughter, take it out."
Let my husband and dad see it, they will definitely be very happy."
Po Wen agreed with a smile and went out with the child in her arms. Du Xuejiao stared at the child and refused to move away. Lin Yuxi thought to herself, if she gave birth to a child someday, would she keep staring like this?
Du Xuejiao is obviously a fierce and willful person, but after giving birth to a child, her eyes softened, as if she couldn't see anyone else, only the child.
Lin Hexi thought it was quite magical. Is this maternal love?
