My historical mission 1

If it snows in winter, the road will be difficult to walk. After staying in the inn for two days, the snow finally stopped, but the road is really difficult to walk. If we want to wait for the road to be better, we have to wait until next spring, but Liao Kingdom The winter is really difficult, and the road is not easy to walk. I still want to set off. If I wait, it will snow more and more, and it will be even more impossible to think of returning to the Central Plains.

I made up my mind to hit the road and bought the best smokeless charcoal and charcoal stove at the market. I also bought a thin mattress for my horse that the hunters here use to cover their backs. I also found a tailor shop to make thick curtains and seat cushions for the carriage. After preparing everything, I set off after finding good weather. It was okay to take the official road, but there would be no problem if I walked slower. Now I don't dare to rush on the road. Every time I encounter a town, I want to stay there.

I walked like this for another half a month before arriving in Tokyo. Now there was no snow as heavy as in Zhongjing, and the road was easier to walk. I found a caravan in Tokyo that was going back to Hejian Prefecture, and gave me a hundred taels of silver and asked them to take me back to Song Dynasty. Inside the inn, he changed back to his Song Dynasty appearance, with his hair tied up.

After returning to Songdi from the pass, I felt that the weather had become much warmer. There was not much delay on the way, and it took another half a month to return to Yingtian Mansion. This time I left for almost half a year. When I came to the medical center, I saw many people buying medicine. Maybe it's because the weather is cold, and many people are suffering from cold illnesses.

When she saw me entering the house, Xiaohong came over with a big belly. I quickly said, sister, please slow down, this belly is scary. I pulled Xiaohong to sit down, and pointed at the next person. Ning Xiucai, who was taking the medicine, said,"Hello, brother-in-law, I'm back." Ning Xiucai smiled and said,"Sit down and rest for a while. I will be finished in a while." Drinking the water Xiaohong poured, he pulled Xiaohong to sit next to her and took her pulse.

Hey, they are twins, or two boys. I glanced at Ning Xiucai and said,"Hey guys, you have to save more money now. The two boys will have to prepare a lot of money for gifts in the future."

Ning Xiucai had finished his work at this moment. When he saw that I had just taken Xiaohong's pulse, he smiled at me sheepishly. I said congratulations, now you have two sons. When Xiaohong heard what I said, she felt happy and uneasy at the same time. I saw Xiaohong's appearance and said to her, the fetal image is very good, the baby is very healthy, and your health is not bad, the birth should be no problem. You need to exercise more from now on to build up your physical strength so that the child will not grow too big, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth.

I took out a century-old ginseng from the bag and gave it to Ning Xiucai. I collected some ginseng when I went out of customs this time. The quality of this plant is not very good. You can keep it and use it when my sister gives birth. Don't be reluctant to part with it. Ning Xiucai accepted the ginseng and said to me, this is the first time I have seen such a good ginseng. Don’t worry, I won’t be reluctant to give it to Xiaohong.

While we were talking, I saw two old people coming out of the backyard. I saw that they were Ning Xiucai's parents. They were also very happy to see me. Xiaobei had returned from outside the customs. I stood up and saluted, and then replied to them,"Yes, haven't you just come back? I brought the newly harvested ginseng to my brother-in-law."

After talking for a while, it was time for lunch. Ning Xiucai treated us to a treat. We had lunch at the restaurant where we used to eat. After lunch, I told Ning Xiucai that I wanted to go out. Then I went to the druggist I used to buy from, and gave him the order for the medicinal materials I wanted to order. He looked at it and said that it would take seven or eight days to be ready. I said yes. If you are ready, just come to the medical center and see me.

I went to the gold shop and found the same gold lock as the one I gave to Xiaohong's child before. Because I didn't know there were two children before, I only gave one as a gift. Now that I know, I have to give another one away no matter what.

Originally, I planned to stay in the inn for a few days, but Ning Xiucai's family refused to agree to anything, saying that there was no reason to let people stay out of the house when they had a room to live in. I had no choice but to move into the wing room I used to live in. That's fine, I can stay and help for a few days. After all, there are still ten days and a half before Xiaohong is almost ready to give birth. Twins are usually born a little earlier than twins....

I would help in the hospital during the day. When Ning Xiucai saw that I was free, he took the initiative to ask me to sit in the hall, and he learned a lot. I didn't refuse. When there were patients, I helped see them. When there were no patients, I taught Ning Xiucai how to make several new pills. Of course, I taught him how to make common medicines. As for poisons and poisons, I had no plans. Teach him.

It can be seen that Ning Xiucai's parents are really good to Xiao Hong. She doesn't have to do anything at home. When I'm not here, she mainly helps Ning Xiucai in the hospital, making pills or... Xiaohong is better at it. Xiaohong and I have been studying for a long time. I told Xiaohong that many of the prescriptions should not be passed on to others. She was quite obedient and did not teach Ning Xiucai. Ning Xiucai did not want to learn. He may have thought that this was our Zhao family. It is not easy for him to learn the ancestral craftsmanship by force.

Seven days later, the apothecary sent a letter saying that the medicinal materials were ready. I drove the carriage out, put the medicinal materials into the carriage, and settled the bill with the apothecary. On the way back, I put the medicinal materials into the space, so that there would be no problem in preserving the medicinal materials for a few more days.

I want to wait until Xiaohong gives birth before returning to Kaifeng City. Xiaohong has no relatives. If I am not around, I am afraid that someone will gossip.

Five days later, Xiaohong started to have labor pains after dinner in the morning. We invited the best midwife in Yingtian Mansion, and two doctors, Ning Xiucai and me, were there. Xiaohong's delivery went smoothly. Before dinner in the evening, two little monkey-like children were born. Even though they looked ugly when they were born, their eyebrows seemed to have grown. After giving Xiaohong some maintenance medicine and cooking the medicinal porridge for him, her mother-in-law brought it in and let her drink it before she felt relieved. Ning Xiucai was very attentive. He had found a wet nurse since he knew they were twins. He was afraid that Xiao Hong would not be able to feed them alone, so the wet nurse had already moved into the yard.

After staying for another three days, the child was baptized. I specially bought two pairs of gold bracelets, just as an extra gift.

After the baptism, I saw that Xiaohong was in good health, and then looked at the child. He was growing well. I could rest assured about Yiche here, and then I said goodbye to Xiaohong's family and left Yingtian Mansion.

This journey went quite quickly, because I had enough room for all my things, so I rode directly back to Kaifeng City. This journey only took five days.

I returned to my own yard, but the foreigner didn't come back. Fortunately, the yard is still tidy in autumn and winter, but it is very deserted. When I got back to the house, I saw ashes everywhere. It took a lot of time to clean them up. I didn’t want to be so tired. He led the horse to the stable in the backyard, then took out the remaining fodder from the space and put it into the trough. He also fetched water from the well and filled the pool. Then he came out of the house and put it in the trough. I found an inn in the nearest place and stayed. Tomorrow I need to find someone to clean the rooms in the front and back yards before they can be moved in. Why should I bother to clean it up myself if I have the money?

I asked the innkeeper if there was anyone who could help with cleaning. I paid fifty taels to clean my yard, and the shopkeeper was moved when he heard it. He said that he can find someone to clean it for me, and you will be satisfied. I heard what he said was quite good, so I gave him the money and the door key, and then told me my address. When he heard that it was the house not far away, he promised that he would pack it up. Let me live with him and he won't ask for the rent. I thought his food was okay, so I told him that from now on we would often visit each other, and I would eat all my meals at your place.
