Back to ancient times to open obstetrics

Chapter 915 Twins (1)
In Mr. Du’s study, there is a one-foot-long huanghuali Ruyi cloud pattern desk, with several medical classics on the left and right, a row of writing brushes hanging on the pen holder in front, and three side-by-side huanghuali double-circle bookshelves behind. , adding up to two feet wide.Liu Qiqiao used to stay in the outer study of the son of Prince Gong's Mansion, which had a rich collection of books, but most of them were just for show. Judging from the book covers, it was obvious that they had not been touched since they were bought.But on the bookshelves in the study behind Master Du, Liu Qiqiao took a look and found that they were all yellow and lala, and there were not many bookcases intact, presumably because they were often flipped through.

This was Liu Qiqiao's first feeling when she entered the study, and then she saw Du Ruo and Master Du Er who were sitting on the huanghuali chair beside her.

When Master Du saw Liu Qiqiao coming in, he ordered out, "Zhu Sha, make a cup of tea for the young lady."

Liu Qiqiao watched the maid named Zhu Sha go out, and thought that the father and son's method of naming the servants was surprisingly consistent, just bring out a random Chinese medicine, and you can give someone a name.Liu Qiqiao sat down on the chair beside Du Ruo, and after a while, the maid served tea, respectfully placed it on the tea table beside her, and went out quietly.

Sitting directly opposite Liu Qiqiao, Master Du Er took a sip from the teacup, put it on the tea table beside him, and said, "Qiqiao, Concubine Liang's day is approaching. I revealed the news that she wants you to enter the palace to deliver her baby, but because I know that these few days are the wedding ceremony between you and Dalang, so I didn’t say so.” Second Master Du paused, then continued: “ I have already recommended the best stable woman in Baoshantang, and now she is living in the palace, but since Concubine Liang has such thoughts, we as courtiers can't be negligent, Qiqiao has been waiting at home these few days, Just in case."

For women in ancient times, giving birth was a circle around the gate of hell, and for women in the palace, it was a big deal.Liu Qiqiao counted the days, the due date of concubine Xiaoliang should be within a few days, and she probably was also very nervous.Moreover, Second Master Du once revealed to himself that Concubine Xiaoliang's birth might be twins, so he became more cautious.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, anyway, I'm staying at home now and can't go out. If there is any movement from Concubine Liang, Second Uncle can just send someone to pick me up." Liu Qiqiao just looked at Du Ruo again, He opened his mouth and said, "Da Lang said that he saw a patient with measles in children on the begging street today."

Liu Qiqiao didn't know if Du Ruo told the second master Du about this. In ancient times, once such a highly contagious disease was found, if it spread, the imperial court would probably take all measures.It's just that these measures are much more cruel than the modern isolation treatment.

Du Ruo heard what Liu Qiqiao said, and hurriedly added: "I asked that family to ask, and there is only one child from his family on that street who has such symptoms now, but there are many people and more children on the begging street, and Flocking to beg in the streets and alleys of the capital, if the source of the disease spreads, I'm afraid it will harm the entire capital."

Since the plague flooded after the flood the year before last, Tai Hospital has been researching the prescription of the plague.However, after the plague was controlled that year, there were fewer patients, so although Imperial Physician Du had several prescriptions in his hands, he didn't know if they could save people.This infantile measles is also a frequent disease of children, and it has many similarities with the plague.
