After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 467 Abnormal Fetal Position

"Are you the young doctor who I heard was so good at acupuncture?"

Fang Nanzhi felt happy after hearing this: Yes, it’s me, the young doctor who is very good at acupuncture!

But he humbly bowed and said, "I'm very talented, but I didn't deserve it. I was lucky to have Doctor Li by my side to guide me that day."

Seeing that she was both happy and trying to be humble, Liu Qingyi smiled.

As expected, they are just children and can’t hide things.

"Please, little doctor, take my pulse."

The maid brought a small stool and placed it beside the bed. Fang Nanzhi thanked her and sat on it to take her pulse.

The woman's wrists were slender, white, and soft to the touch, as if they had no muscles at all.

Such thin arms are rare among pregnant women.

After taking your pulse, she asked, "Have you been feeling weak lately and getting easily tired?"

“That’s indeed the case.”

"Please, Madam, let me see your tongue."

Liu Qingyi cooperated very well.

"Your pulse is thin, smooth, and weak. Your face, lips, and tongue are pale, and you have weakness. This is probably due to Qi and blood deficiency, leading to an abnormal fetal position."

"If I'm not mistaken, Madam should eat very little on weekdays?"

She was being too tactful in her words, almost saying that she was eating less and dieting to maintain her figure, but she also took a lot of medicine, which damaged her spleen and stomach.

The maidservant beside her answered for her: "That's right, my wife can't eat."

Fang Nanzhi understood. He had been deliberately not eating before, and now his spleen and stomach were damaged, so naturally he couldn't eat even if he wanted to.

"You can't skip meals. You have to eat three meals a day. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. In addition to conditioning your body, there are also some that strengthen your spleen and stomach. You have to take good care of your body."

After that, she whispered, "In the future, I can prescribe you a new tonic recipe that will both nourish your body and help you lose weight healthily."

Liu Qingyi looked at her and raised her eyebrows. This little girl was quite smart.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say. However, my fetus is in an abnormal position. Is there any way to adjust it?"

To be honest, it's difficult to adjust.

Fang Nanzhi couldn't say it directly. She thought for a moment and said, "I still need to discuss this with Doctor Lu. To be honest, I'm not a master yet, so my pulse diagnosis may not be correct. I need Doctor Lu to check it again."

Hearing her say this, Liu Qingyi nodded slightly, got off the bed with the help of the maid, and slowly walked outside the screen.

Outside, Madam Liu also came over and was waiting anxiously with the two of them.

Liu Qingyi sat on a stool and Doctor Lu took her pulse again.

Mrs. Liu frowned, very worried. She had heard the pulse diagnosis results of the young doctor just now. If the fetus was really in an abnormal position, that would be bad.

His silly son, who knew nothing, thought that all he had to do was abort the baby. Little did he know that his aunt was a pregnant woman about to give birth, and the baby was already formed, so an abortion was not an option!

You have to live whether you want to or not!

As a result, Dr. Lu gave the same diagnosis.

Madam Liu's heart tightened: "Is there any way to adjust the fetal position?"

Doctor Lu looked at Liu Qingyi hesitantly, and the latter said briskly, "Doctor, don't worry about me. Just say whatever you want to say. I'm not that fragile."

Madam Liu also nodded.

Doctor Lu then spoke, "Madam is now very close to giving birth. It will be difficult to adjust the fetal position. Moreover, I just took her pulse. If my diagnosis is correct, the birth will take place in the next two or three days."

Fang Nanzhi agreed very much. She thought so too, but she didn't dare to say it for fear that the pregnant woman would be scared. Doctor Lu was really brave.

Finally, the two of them discussed with the people from the Liu family and unanimously decided that they would prescribe a conditioning prescription for the next few days. At the same time, they would come more often. On the day of delivery, Fang Nanzhi and the midwife would go into the delivery room together to deliver the baby, and Doctor Lu would wait outside just in case.

The people of the Liu family had no objection. The only thing to do now was to listen to the doctor.

Before leaving, he asked his servants to give them all thick purses.

The last time the Prince's Mansion gave her a purse, her master told her it was hush money, so this time Fang Nanzhi took it readily and said thank you.

People felt relieved only when she took it. Well, after all, she just wanted it.

When I got the purse, I could hardly suppress the smile, but I still waited until I got on the carriage to open it.

There was shining silver inside.

Fang Nanzhi excitedly poured it out and counted it. There were actually ten taels, which was half more than what the Prince's Mansion gave!

Her eyes lit up. It turns out that being a doctor is so profitable!

However, besides being excited, she also became a little nervous. Liu Qingyi's situation was tricky. If she couldn't deliver the baby successfully and save her life, the money would be too expensive.

After thinking for a while, Fang Nanzhi said, "Doctor Lu, please take me to my master!"

The Zhou Mansion is not far away.

Fang Nanzhi quickly jumped out of the carriage and ran towards Zhou's mansion. The servants greeted her and followed her as if she were at home.

Doctor Lu, who saw him off, had envy in his eyes. It was great to have a famous teacher. He had someone to discuss any problems with. He also wanted to go.

But he was afraid of causing displeasure to the old imperial physician Zhou if he came here rashly, so he finally waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Master Zhou was drying medicinal herbs when he heard his apprentice's voice from a distance: "Master! Master, here I come!"

Turning around, the little girl ran towards me breathlessly: "Master, I want to bask in the sun with you!"

As he spoke, he began to help, and at the same time he unconsciously began to talk about Liu Qingyi's abnormal fetal position and the fact that she was about to give birth and could not adjust the fetal position.

After listening to this, Mr. Zhou nodded, frowning slightly: "This matter is indeed a bit tricky. Let's go, don't bask in the sun for now, and come with me to the study."

The study is very large, and the shelves are filled with various rare medical books. The fragrance of herbs and books mixed in the room, forming a unique smell.

Fang Nanzhi smelled it and yes, that was the smell of the master. No, it also had the aroma of wine.

The old doctor Zhou didn't notice that his apprentice was sniffing the room behind him. After searching for a while, he pulled out a thick notebook.

"These are my records of cases related to women's illnesses. They include matters related to childbirth, prescriptions for difficult labor and heavy bleeding, acupuncture methods, and several methods for treating malpositioned fetuses. You can learn from them."

Fang Nanzhi took it solemnly: "Thank you, Master."

The two of them discussed the case in detail for a while, and ultimately came to the conclusion that they should first use acupuncture to adjust the fetal position and stimulate the acupuncture points of the pregnant woman. If this still proved difficult, they would need to make preparations to save the mother and prepare hemostatic drugs in advance...

Mr. Zhou explained all the acupuncture points and prescriptions clearly, but he was not very clear about the specific work of midwifery.

After all, when a woman gives birth, only the midwife can enter the delivery room, and there are few male doctors who can enter the delivery room to deliver babies.

Even if he could accept it, the woman and her husband's family could not accept it.

When the men went in, they could only diagnose the patient's pulse through the screen.

Fang Nanzhi studied with his master for most of the day before taking the Zhou Mansion's carriage home. Outside, the sun was about to set.

But she still felt uneasy. After thinking about it, it seemed like it was asking the system for help.

[System, can you deliver babies?]

Although she felt that the system would not deliver babies, she still wanted to ask, just in case.

System: [I don't know how to do this, but I can find some video material on ancient human childbirth for the host.]

【I want to see! 】

As soon as she finished speaking in her mind, a large amount of information suddenly appeared in front of her.

Fang Nanzhi was stunned. All he saw before his eyes was a sea of white and blood, and many videos of childbirth.

She thought about it and randomly clicked the first one.

The first one is a video of a normal childbirth.

Fang Nanzhi also took the opportunity to learn some tricks that midwives use when delivering babies, such as pressing the belly to help pregnant women breathe in and out... While watching, she also followed the movements with her hands.

After watching a video twice, Fang Nanzhi was practicing hard when the video was paused by the system.

[Host, we're home. Please get off the car first.]

As soon as it finished speaking, the carriage stopped.

Fang Nanzhi got off the car, thanked the coachman, and went into the house, thinking about the key points he had just learned.

I was absent-minded while eating. After a few bites, I quickly washed up and ran back to the house to practice.

She just watches the video and goes to bed only when it's time to sleep. However, she has been able to practice the basic delivery process and the technique of pushing the belly with her bare hands, but she is not very proficient yet.

Before going to bed, she was drowsy and decided to continue working hard tomorrow and the day after.

After all, she accepted ten taels of silver from others. It's only right for her to work harder for such a large sum of money.

Qian Fengping saw how hard the children worked, and the next morning, she prepared various delicious dishes for them.

I made a big bowl of stir-fried meat, egg custard, stewed pork ribs, and rice.

The two children and Fang Yin asked in unison, "Is it Chinese New Year?"

Qian Fengping was helpless. She smiled and put a piece of meaty spareribs into her daughter's bowl: "Eat, eat more. From now on, we will eat meat every day. If you want any vegetables, tell me."

By the way, since they arrived in the capital, the food has never been bad.

Another important point is that on weekdays, my two children are studying medicine and going to school, and they are all busy. I am the only one who has free time. Apart from occasionally thinking about a new cake, the rest of the time is spent taking care of the two children. How can I not pay attention to them?

Besides, it just takes some time to cook.

Fang Nanzhi was naturally very happy, she ate well and had more energy.

In addition to seeing patients these past two days, I spent the rest of the time memorizing acupuncture points and methods for treating difficult labor and malposition of fetuses, and practicing pressing my belly.

Two days later, she was supposed to go to Master Zheng's house to study.

In the Zheng family school, Fang Nanzhi recited the book seriously. He read the four sentences two or three times, then closed the book and recited them. After he had no problems, he recited the previous content together.

Zheng Wanru, who was standing by, was also reciting the book. She looked at Fang Nanzhi and imitated her method, reading the four sentences from the book three times, then closed the book and started reciting. After reciting the first three sentences, she forgot the rest.

She frowned, feeling a little annoyed. She had just memorized it, so why couldn't she remember it suddenly?

After thinking for a long time without being able to remember anything, she opened the book and looked at it. This time, she focused on memorizing the last sentence, repeatedly confirmed that she had memorized it, and recited it again.

I got stuck at the beginning.

What was the first sentence? She only remembered the last sentence.

Zheng Wanru took a deep breath. It's okay, it's okay! At worst, she can just recite it word for word!

Finally, she memorized it sentence by sentence, and then tried to memorize the next four sentences with great effort. However, when she wanted to recite them together, she could not remember the first four sentences.

I repeat this over and over again. After reciting it several times, I always forget two or three sentences.

Zheng Wanru was not only irritable now, but also felt powerless. She pursed her lips, her nose felt sore, and she almost wanted to cry.

She has tried very hard to memorize it, so why can't she remember it?

Looking at my friend, he had already memorized the third chapter in just a short while, and without any hesitation.

She wanted to cry even more.

We are all human beings, why are our brains so different?

But then she thought again and felt relieved. It was precisely because Zhizhi was so capable that her grandfather gave her more homework and she had less homework.

After thinking about it, Zheng Wanru felt relieved and continued to recite, no matter how slowly she went. As the saying goes, lazy people have good fortune, and stupid people have good fortune!

At this moment, the servant of the Liu family hurried to the door and explained the reason to Mr. Zheng with an anxious look.

Liu Qingyi is about to give birth and needs Fang Nanzhi's help.

Since human life was at stake, Mr. Zheng naturally agreed. He frowned and found Fang Nanzhi: "The Liu family's people are waiting outside. You should come here first today. Go quickly."

Zheng Wanru stared blankly at her friend: What? She's leaving get out of class now?

Who are the Liu family members? Next time she has class, she will ask their family members to come and find her.

When Fang Nanzhi heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately stood up and hurriedly apologized and said goodbye to Mr. Zheng. Without even having time to pack her things, she picked up the small medicine box and ran to the carriage.

The carriage was running very fast, swaying left and right, and Fang Nanzhi almost felt dizzy.

The servant apologized: "Sorry, it's really urgent..."

Fang Nanzhi waved her hands to show her understanding: "It's okay, go in quickly."

Her two falls are a small matter, but the life of a pregnant woman is a big deal.

Outside the delivery room, several women were waiting anxiously. Fang Nanzhi came over and opened the door without even having time to exchange pleasantries: "Little Doctor, you're finally here. Come in and take a look."

Doctor Lu had already arrived and was standing outside the screen compartment. When he saw her coming, he nodded.

When Fang Nanzhi went in, Liu Qingyi was lying on the bed with sweat all over her face and a pale complexion. There were two or three midwives in the room, and two maids were waiting by the side. Clean water, scissors, wine, and a stove were all prepared.

The head maid calmly stepped forward and said, "Madam's water has broken, do you see?"

Fang Nanzhi didn't waste any time. He stepped forward to take the patient's pulse, took out a silver needle from the medicine box, and inserted it into the pregnant woman with both hands.

After just a few injections, Liu Qingyi cried out in pain.

Listening to the heavy responsibility in my heart

Fang Nanzhi continued to move his hands: "I'm trying to induce labor now. Please bear with me. I'll prick some acupuncture points to relieve the pain. Maybe it will help."

In fact, painkillers are almost better than nothing when compared to the pain of childbirth.

Liu Qingyi trembled and said, "No, no need. It's more important for the master to have the baby."

Fang Nanzhi frowned: "Okay, then try not to speak unless necessary, bite the towel, and use your strength on me..."

The midwife beside him said: "? This is exactly what they want to say!"

Fang Nanzhi had pierced almost every place that could be pierced, and the midwives were teaching Liu Qingyi how to breathe and use force, accompanied by Liu Qingyi's screams of pain as she bit her handkerchief.

But after a stick of incense had passed, only the child's little butt was exposed, which made people so anxious that they wanted to pull the child out.

But Fang Nanzhi knew that in this situation, he absolutely could not reach out to pull.
