Chapter 392 How old are you?
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Sun Xiu sat on the bed and handed over her right hand.

After Bai Jinli took her pulse, she asked about her recent situation, checked the fetal position with gynecological examination techniques, and then spoke.

"Mrs. Meng, to be honest, your baby doesn't seem to be going well."

"Well, I know. The previous doctors said the same thing. But it doesn't matter, I won't give up."

Sun Xiu nodded, not surprised by the test result.

When talking about this, her face was gentle, she looked down at her stomach, and gently stroked it with her right hand.

"I suggest that you can move around more, so that you can relax during delivery, which is good for you and your baby."

"Alright, Hong'er, help me get up and walk."

Hearing what Bai Jinli said, Sun Xiu called the big maid beside her, stood up with her support, and walked out.

"Doctor Bai, thank you for your hard work. If possible, I hope you can be by my side during the delivery."

"Looking at the conditions of Madam's house, there should be quite a few doctors waiting by the side." Bai Jinli said bluntly.

From the time she walked into the Meng Mansion, she found that there were a lot of maids and servants in the whole Meng Mansion.

Especially in Sun Xiu's courtyard, there are many maids and wives.

"Well, that's true. But those doctors are all men, and I would rather have a female doctor by my side." Sun Xiu explained.

In fact, she had told Meng Ziyi about this matter before, when she didn't want to give birth, she was surrounded by male doctors.

Mencius also comforted her by saying that he would find a way to go to the palace to help her bring back a female medical officer.

On weekdays, if some noble ladies and ladies in the palace were sick and it was inconvenient, they would ask a female medical officer to check them out.

But generally speaking, the strength of female medical officers is not as good as those imperial doctors.

And the female medical officer in the palace is not easy to invite.

Bai Jinli is a female doctor, and she heard her father boast about Bai Jinli's medical skills, so after Bai Jinli took her pulse, she suddenly had this idea.

Seeing that Bai Jinli didn't answer her, Sun Xiu continued to speak.

"I can give you enough consultation money, and I can also agree to your request, as long as it is not excessive."

"Well, good." Bai Jinli looked at the pleading on her face, nodded and agreed.

"Great." Sun Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the maid to bring Bai Jinli 50 taels of consultation fee.

Bai Jinli took it over and put it away, and after briefly explaining a few words to the maid beside Sun Xiu, she walked out of her room.

"How is it, Doctor Bai, how is my Xiu'er doing?" Seeing her coming out, the old grandson asked quickly.

"As you said, the situation is not very good. The due date should be in the next few days. I just explained the precautions to her personal maid."

"Well, that's good. If you're not busy, you can move to the living room and sit, and I'll have someone prepare tea for you."

"No need, Grandpa Sun, I want to take my mother out for a stroll, and then go to the pharmacy."

"That's good, I'll send someone to take you out." The old grandson didn't force it, and ordered someone to send them off.

Anyway, this is the son-in-law's home after all, and he only came to see it because his daughter was about to give birth.

Not long after walking out of Sun Xiu's courtyard, a woman with bright clothes and make-up walked towards her.

"Who are they?" Seeing Bai Jinli and Mrs. Li, the woman asked.

"Back to the second lady, this is the doctor invited by the eldest lady, and the young one is planning to send the doctor away."

"Female doctor? Hehe, I think the eldest lady is really crazy. So young, what do you know?" The woman put her handkerchief over her mouth and smiled without hesitation, her face was full of disdain.

"Shut up! My daughter's medical skills are naturally the best. How old are you? What right do you have to speak ill of my daughter?"

As soon as someone said bad things about Bai Jinli, Mrs. Li immediately glared at her.

"The best? This is the capital city. The best doctors are in the imperial hospital in the palace. Except for the imperial physicians in the palace, the best doctors in the capital are now in other hospitals in our mansion. She is the only one? How dare you say that?" My own medical skills are the best, I laughed to death."

"Then why don't you just die laughing, ignorant and stupid." Mrs. Li snorted coldly.

"Shut up, what are you? How dare you talk to me like that! Someone, drag her down for me."

As soon as the woman finished her reprimand, she saw Bai Jinli speak with a cold face.

"Anyway, my mother and I are distinguished guests from your mansion. What's your attitude? Is this Meng Shilang's tutoring and hospitality?"

"Guests? Liars like you, if the master comes back, someone will definitely drive you out. Are you still going to do it?" the woman ordered in a cold voice.

Hearing this, Bai Jinli's face turned even colder. After giving Xiang Ming a look, she saw that Xiang Ming approached the second lady as if she could not cover her ears, and pinched her neck.

Bai Jinli took out a pill from her sleeve and stuffed it into her mouth, then spoke lightly.

"Since the words don't sound good, then don't speak at all, so as to save people from being unpopular."

Seeing that she refused to swallow, Xiang Tea pinched her chin directly, and then threw her aside.

"Mmmmmmmm!" The woman fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment, sobbing and pinching her throat with her hands, her face full of horror.

She, she couldn't make a sound.

What's going on here?
"Second lady, how are you doing?"

"Second lady!"

Seeing that all the servants surrounded her, Bai Jinli took Mrs. Li's arm and continued walking outside with the tea.

During this period, there were still servants who wanted to stop them, but they were all stopped by the man sent by the old grandson to lead them.

After leaving the door of the Meng Mansion, Mrs. Li couldn't help but say: "This Meng Mansion is really terrible. You were clearly invited to come over to help them see a doctor, but now it looks like this. It's really not a thing."

"Mother, this is the consequence of a man marrying too many women. There are too many women in the family, and they are jealous." Bai Jinli was not too angry.

She hadn't seen anything before, and she really didn't pay attention to such a trivial matter.

It could be seen in the open and in the dark that the second wife just now was at odds with Sun Xiu. I heard that she had just come out of Sun Xiu's yard, so it was not fun for her.

It's just that she is the kind of soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others?

It just so happens that I have a fragrant tea by my side today, which is really awesome.

"If you want me to say, the man in this family is too good-for-nothing. What are they marrying? If I had such a daughter-in-law, I would have beaten her to death at home."

"Okay, mother, don't get angry with those unimportant strangers, let's go, I will show you around the capital."

"Well, okay."

Bai Jinli took Mrs. Li for a stroll on the bustling streets of the capital.

The capital city is worthy of being the cultural and economic center of the Great Qi State, and it seems that it is really much more prosperous than other towns.

Whether it's the clothes of the people walking on the street or the decoration of the shops on both sides of the road, they all have a different luxurious atmosphere.

Of course, prices in the capital are much higher than in other places.

Just the candied gourds sold on the roadside cost two renminbi a string in Qinglin County, but five renminbi in Beijing.

After hearing the prices of those things, Mrs. Li suddenly felt distressed, and she was not willing to spend money.

When Bai Jinli took out the 50 taels of consultation fee she had just obtained, Mrs. Li still couldn't bear to spend it.

Then, Bai Jinli took out another money bag and told Mrs. Li that it was specially given to her by Lin Chenyuan for her to go shopping. Only then did Mrs. Li let go of her reluctance and started the shopping mode.

Anyway, the son-in-law can make money, since it is given by the son-in-law, it can be regarded as his filial piety, and it doesn't take much to feel sorry for the son-in-law.

After walking around for a long time, Bai Jinli and Mrs. Li were a little tired, so they found a restaurant for dinner.

After dinner, she proposed to go to the Pharmacy Bureau in Beiping Alley.

Seeing that Mrs. Li was tired from shopping, and she couldn't keep her eyes open because it was time for her nap, Bai Jinli shouted at Da Huo and asked him to send Mrs. Li home first.

Knowing that Bai Jinli still had things to do, Mrs. Li gave her some instructions, and then went back first under the escort of the fire.

The Department of Pharmacy looks really rich, with a huge wall of traditional Chinese medicine cabinets inside, and the decoration has a classic medical atmosphere.

There was indeed a doctor attending the consultation, but compared with the person who fetched the medicine, he seemed a little leisurely.

Seeing Bai Jinli standing at the door and looking inside, someone soon came over and spoke.

"Girl, if you want to get medicine, please line up here. If you want to see a doctor, go directly to Dr. Chen."

"I'm looking for Qiao Liang."

"Did you have something to do with our shopkeeper Qiao?" After hearing Bai Jinli's words, the man asked her immediately.

"Well, there is something, please go and report it, and say that Doctor Guo recommended me to come here."

"Okay, girl, wait a moment." The boy turned around and ran in to report.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a mustache came out.

"Surely this is Miss Jin, right? I heard Furong mentioned you, come on, please."

"Ah."

Only now did Bai Jinli know that Guo's imperial physician's name was Guo (Furong) Furong.

Tsk tsk, what a good name.

"Miss Jin, drink tea."

"Thank you."

"I heard from Furong that Miss Jin has made a very useful thing called Quhen Ointment. I don't know if Miss Jin is here this time to buy medicine or to remove scar ointment?"

"It's both. Shopkeeper Qiao, do you want to look at the things first?"

"No need. I trust my nephew's vision. Since he said Miss Jin's scar removal ointment is good, it must not be Fanpin. I don't know how Miss Jin wants to cooperate with us?" Qiao Liang shook his head and asked directly.

"A can of 30 taels, I will send some goods over every once in a while."

"30 taels?" Qiao Liang was slightly surprised.

Their pharmacy also has medicine for treating burns, but the price is not even half of this.

"The scar removal ointment can completely disappear the scars on the injured area without leaving any traces. Based on this alone, does the shopkeeper think my scar removal ointment is worth 30 taels of silver?"

"Really?" Qiao Liang asked in disbelief.

When he received the letter from his nephew, he was very interested in this Quhen cream, and he had been looking forward to the visit of the girl Jin whom his nephew was talking about.

Now it's finally Miss Jin, but I feel that she is a little too amazing in the past.

The nephew also just said that the scar removal ointment is really easy to use. He witnessed the miraculous and fast effect of the medicine, and did not mention that it can completely remove the traces.
