The death of Mr. Guan was not too surprising. He had been ill for many years. In the past six months, everyone knew that he did not have much time left. Even the King of Yizhou was not surprised. He just sighed and accepted the news.

thing.

Guan Dalang obeyed Mr. Guan's instructions and asked to resign to King Yizhou as soon as the funeral was over. King Yizhou did not agree and said: "Your father was born in Yizhou and grew up in Yizhou. He followed his father back to his hometown several times when he was a child.

That’s all, now that your family has very weak blood ties there, what are you going to do back there?”

The king of Yizhou said: "It is better to stay here. Your father will serve me all his life. I will make plans for your two brothers. You should keep your filial piety first, and I will have a position here for you when your filial piety is fulfilled."

Then he asked: "Where is Erlang? Your father died of illness, why didn't he come back to express condolences?"

Guan Dalang lowered his eyes and said: "He missed the people sent by his family and now went to Tongzhou. Since Tongzhou is closer to his hometown Liangzhou, his father wanted to return to the countryside for burial, so he sent a letter to him in advance, asking him to go back to his hometown first.

Go wait."

The King of Yizhou did not expect Guan Dalang to move so quickly. If he still prevented the Guan family from returning home at this time, it would not be a talent-loving thing, but an unkindness.

He pondered for a moment, and finally he had doubts in his heart, so he said: "Then you don't have to wait for the filial piety to be over, but to return to Yizhou City after observing the filial piety. Your father has been with me for twenty years, and I have already

I'm used to having him around, and I want to pass on many of his things to you."

Guan Dalang's heart was indeed moved, so he only hesitated for a moment before bowing his head in agreement.

The King of Yizhou was satisfied and then asked Guan Dalang to leave.

When Guan Dalang went out, a carriage happened to enter the yard. He was of low status, so he stepped aside and waited.

Magistrate Tang opened the curtain and saw him, jumped out of the carriage, patted his shoulder and expressed condolences, "How have you been lately? Is your father in mourning?"

Guan Dalang answered one by one.

Magistrate Tang turned his head and looked at Mingli, who took out a letter from his sleeve.

County Magistrate Tang handed the letter to Guan Dalang and said, "I promised your father. He hopes that you brothers will make progress in your studies and obtain honors. You can take this letter of recommendation and go to the capital to see it when your period of filial piety is over."

The wind blew gently, and Guan Dalang suddenly woke up. He remembered what his father had said.

He glanced at the letter handed to him, bowed to take it, and quickly thanked him.

Magistrate Tang smiled and nodded slightly, and went in to find the prince together with the servants of the palace who came up to him.

Guan Dalang received the letter and watched Magistrate Tang go away. He felt a little uneasy. All the abnormalities before his father's death and Magistrate Tang's unusually attentive visit came to his mind at the same time.

He tightened the letter in his hand, got into his carriage, and said to the coachman: "Go home."

Guan Dalang sat in the carriage and looked at the letter in his hand, remembering that his father refused to recruit his second brother back, and insisted on sending his eldest son away too...

Guan Dalang swallowed, put the letter away carefully, and decided to pack his things tomorrow and prepare to support the spirit and return home.

In May, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the wheat started to turn yellow with its head hanging down. Man Bao and the other three finally waited for a day of rest, and ran to their small farm for a day of wilding, looking at the long and full ears of wheat in the field.

, the three of them laughed happily.

Bai Shan turned back to look at their orchard, pointed his finger in the distance and said, "Let's go pick fruits."

The only ones that could be picked at this time were peaches. The three of them rushed up the mountain together and began to pick the ripe peaches.

The three of them picked up a big bag and simply carried it with their clothes and took it home. They had been studying recently and were very bored. They rarely came out. They reluctantly climbed into the carriage until the sunset.

Qian looked at Man Bao who came back dirty and laughed angrily, "I think Mr. Zhuang is still too tolerant to you, so he should not give you a day off."

Man Bao chuckled and walked forward with peaches in his pocket to please his mother, "Look, Mom, I picked these specially for you."

Qian looked at the peaches in her pocket and asked, "Don't you want to keep them and sell them?"

"There are some more on the mountain, and we are not short of money." Man Bao put the two redder peaches aside, "Mom, these two are for you and my sister-in-law to eat, and I will share the rest with them.

?”

"Keep a few more, and wait until your second brother goes to the county town tomorrow to bring two to your eldest sister," she said: "Your eldest sister is about to give birth, and she is very greedy now, but she is older and it is her first child.

, Old Doctor Lu said you shouldn’t eat too much, so I thought I wouldn’t be afraid of eating fruits, so I’ll bring some to satisfy your eldest sister’s craving.”

Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "Then I'll tell Bai Shan and Bai Er tonight and ask the second brother to go to the orchard to pick some tomorrow morning. There are many on the mountain that can be picked, but we can't pick too much today, so

Not picked."

"is this okay?"

"Okay," Man Bao said very generously, "Take it off and tell the eldest sister that I will go and deliver the baby when she is about to give birth to her nephew."

Ms. Qian: "...you can also deliver babies?"

"No, that's why I want to take a look." Man Bao said, "I've been reading some medical books on maternal childbirth recently, but I just can't understand them."

Mrs. Qian pushed the troubled girl aside and said, "Practice with your sister, don't be afraid of me beating you to death, just go ahead."

Manbao left two peaches and ran away. She distributed the peaches in her pocket to her nephews and nieces. She clapped her hands and went back to her room, where she entered the system and read a book.

Man Bao calculated the due date for Zhou Xi, and she should give birth next month, so she recently discussed the birth with Teacher Mo.

Teacher Mo is also very interested in this. The main reason is that they do not necessarily need the mother's body to give birth. They can go to the hospital to apply. As long as they pass the exam and inspection, they can apply for a gestational sac. If not, they can also buy a gestational sac at a high price.

Therefore, Teacher Mo only learned production knowledge from historical medicine, and in terms of experience, he is probably not as good as Man Bao.

Because Man Bao had waited outside the house for her sisters-in-law to give birth, and her experience was even greater than that of Teacher Mo, who had zero experience.

Two masters and apprentices, a man and a young girl, studied the matter of children together. The more they studied, the more confused they became. In the end, they had no choice but to ask Dr. Lu and Dr. Ji for advice.

Dr. Lu and Dr. Ji could provide her with many cases, but there were not many things she could actually do during the delivery.

The reason for Dr. Lu’s side is that when giving birth, the medicinal materials he brings are always missing. It is impossible for people in the countryside to always keep valuable medicinal materials. In the end, there is often no cure but no medicine, so they can only give people injections and push the fetal position to help give birth;

Dr. Ji is completely the opposite. People in the city are more particular. Most of the time, he can't even see the patient's face. He can only prescribe some medicine by feeling the pulse through the curtain. He can't give an injection or push the fetus.

…

Man Bao synthesized the cases of the two doctors and found that the methods they used in the delivery room were not overlapping. Unfortunately, they could not use medicine or needles, but she combined the two.

Although she was still a little confused, she vaguely touched the edge.
