Li Yanqing hurried back to the mansion, and the housekeeper Uncle Shan greeted him, "I kept Dr. Jiangming, do you want to see him?" ”

"Where is he?"

"Wait in the Distinguished Hall!"

Li Yanqing walked quickly to the Guike Hall again, and saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face sitting in the hall drinking tea.

This old man is the most famous doctor in Jiayu County, named Jiang Du, he is nearly eighty years old this year, and it is not the first time he has come to the county mansion, he came to the mansion last autumn to diagnose Cao Yun and Sisi's pulse, and prescribed a few medicines to improve their health, but he didn't expect the effect to appear after only a few months.

Li Yanqing walked up to the hall and said with a smile: "It's hard to be a famous doctor in Jiang!" ”

Jiang Du hurriedly got up and saluted, "Xiaomin see the county gentleman!" ”

"Hurry up, please take a seat!"

Li Yanqing invited him to sit down, and asked the maid to serve tea, and he asked with concern: "My wife, she really ......"

Jiang Du smiled and nodded, "I have diagnosed Ximai countless times, she is a typical Ximai, congratulations to the county gentleman." ”

"That's the credit of Dr. Jiangming! If there was no medicine prescribed by a famous doctor, how could my wife get pregnant in just a few months, please accept my husband's gift. ”

Li Yanqing got up and bowed, Jiang Du hurriedly waved his hand, "Xiaomin can't afford the gift of the county gentleman, this is my business, please don't take the county gentleman to heart." ”

"I wonder how many months she should be now?"

"Inferred from common sense, she should be about two months, the county gentleman should pay attention, do not have sex in these months, beware of miscarriage, in addition, in these two months, Mrs. should also try not to take a boat or car, do not be tired, it is enough to walk more than a thousand steps in the house every day, pay attention to rest."

"Thank you, sir, I remember."

Jiang Du took out another prescription and handed it to Li Yanqing, and said with a smile: "This is a prescription I prescribed, and I take it every day, which is very good for pregnant women." ”

Li Yanqing took the prescription, hesitated and asked: "I still have a concubine, she has been with me for a few years, but she has never been pregnant, has Mr. given her pulse?" ”

"It's Mrs. Guo! Her condition is really not good, her roots and bones are a little weaker, frankly speaking, her physique is difficult to get pregnant, and even if she is pregnant, there may be dystocia, although the words are a bit harsh, but this is the truth, I believe that the county gentleman has also seen other doctors, and he should know it in his heart. ”

Li Yanqing nodded silently, he remembered Zhao Keats's diagnosis, it seemed that Sisi was destined to have no children.

........

Sending off Dr. Jiang, Li Yanqing came to the back house, and as soon as he walked into Cao Yun's yard, he heard the retching sound of his wife Cao Yun in the room, he hurriedly walked into the room, only to see Cao Yun squatting next to a wooden basin, holding her chest and retching, her personal little maid was gently beating her back, Cao Yun waved her hand, "Don't knock, help me sit up." ”

Li Yanqing moved faster, and hurriedly stepped forward to support his wife.

"When did you come back?" Cao Yun felt that the person who helped her was not a maid, but a husband.

"I just rushed back, and Mrs. Xu Wu ran to tell me."

"I didn't let her go, it should have been Sisi who asked her to go, I'm sorry, it affected the gathering of my husband and colleagues."

"What kind of words are this, there is a happy event in the family, and I can still drink it?" Li Yanqing helped her sit down and smiled.

Cao Yun's sideburns were a little messy, her face was pale, she leaned her head on her husband's shoulder, closed her eyes and calmed down for a while, before she sighed and said, "I want to vomit but can't vomit, just retching like this, when will it end?" ”

"It should be fine in three months, Doctor Jiang said that you are now about two months pregnant, and you will hold on for another month."

"Hey! Another month of pain. ”

Cao Yun smiled again, "But when I think of having a child in my womb, no matter how painful it is, I'm very happy." ”

"That's right, if you are happy, the child in the womb is also happy, if you are sad, he will also be sad."

Cao Yun nodded, "I hope it's a little lang!" ”

"Xiaolang and Xiaoniang are the same, I like them all, I have to think about what to name them?"

Cao Yun smiled, "Husband is too anxious!" And Ah Gong said that naming is his business, so don't worry about it, husband, I want to rest for a while, you go to the study to write two letters, and report the good news to Ah Gong and my parents. ”

"Obey the order for the husband!"

Li Yanqing helped his wife lie down, covered her with a quilt again, and then got up and went to the study......

In the evening, Li Yanqing had already written two letters home, and he was waiting for the urgent delivery to be brought back to the capital early tomorrow morning.

The express delivery industry of the Song Dynasty is very developed, both public and private, the official is called the post delivery, and at the same time, there are also large businessmen who specialize in freight to open a similar delivery business, called the delivery shop, specially to send documents and important items to people, if you need to expedited, you can add money to express the foot, within three hundred miles of the same day delivery, but the fastest is the gold plate express foot, only the official post delivery has, generally used for military aircraft or pardon.

For example, Yue Fei was ordered to order the class teacher by the twelve gold medals, not that the Son of Heaven took out twelve gold medals, but that the edict of the Son of Heaven was handed over twelve times with a gold plate, and the seal cylinder was written in gold words "The imperial text is not allowed to enter the shop", this kind of document can not stay in the shop, and the bell rings when it is about to be delivered, and the people in the post station hear the bell waiting at the door, like running a relay race, ringing the bell all the way, passing like a flying lightning, pedestrians look at it to avoid the road, day and night, travel 500 miles a day.

Li Yanqing's delivery shop is called Yida delivery shop, headquartered in Beijing, and the industry is also a shipping industry, called Yida cargo operation, and also concurrently operates express delivery documents, etc., and has branches in various state capitals.

Li Yanqing asked Yida Cargo to open a delivery shop in Jiayu County, of course, there was a purpose, he wanted to know the news of the capital, so he specially ordered two newspapers, although the official also has "Di Bao", but "Di Bao" bureaucratic habits are relatively heavy, and it is very slow to send to various places, and it has been a month after arriving in Jiayu County.

Li Yanqing ordered two newspapers, one is called "Chao Bao", although the name is "Chao Bao", but since ordinary people can also buy it on the newsstand, it obviously has nothing to do with the official, but is distributed by the people, "Chao Bao" is actually plagiarized the content of "Di Bao", but it is distributed quickly, facing the public, fortunately, the imperial court does not pursue it, and it is deeply loved by hundreds of officials and ordinary people.

Another newspaper is the "tabloid", which is equivalent to today's entertainment express, which often reveals the secret history of the palace and celebrity gossip that are not involved in the "Chaobao", which can particularly attract people's attention and is deeply loved by the people, and the Song Dynasty's tolerance of public opinion is even more embarrassing for all dynasties.

For example, in the fourth year of Daguan, the "tabloid" created a shocking news, at that time, the people's opinions on Prime Minister Cai Jing were very large, in order to meet the needs of public opinion, the "tabloid" pretended to be the tone of the Son of Heaven and issued an edict criticizing Cai Jing, accusing 'Cai Jing of being blind and strong-sighted, deaf but strong hearing, cunning in public conduct, flattering in deeds, unkind inside and outside, and uninspected', and also reported that Cai Jing and his accomplices had been wiped out by the Son of Heaven.

This kind of public counterfeiting of the holy decree was a major crime in the past dynasties, but in the Song Dynasty, there was nothing, and the party Cai Jing was helpless, and he did not dare to use his power to investigate and deal with the "tabloid", so he had to pay out of his own pocket to publish revelations in the "Chaobao" to clarify the fact that he was not punished by the Son of Heaven.

Li Yanqing will also buy these two newspapers in the capital, and read them in the Yushitai, and now that he is in the place, he pays more attention to the news in the capital, so he uses the channel of the delivery shop to ask his father to send him these two newspapers urgently every day, and the cost of urgent delivery alone will cost 2,000 yuan a year, but at least he can see the news of the capital in three days.

Needless to say, the family also very popular with the "tabloid" in it, and it has become a great pleasure in the family to read it every day.

After Li Yanqing finished writing the letter, he remembered that he hadn't seen today's newspaper yet, so he hurriedly said to Xu Wuxiaoniang, who brought the tea: "You go and ask the housekeeper, is the newspaper here today?" ”

"Official, the newspaper has come, and I saw it at the second lady's."

"You go and ask for me, and if she's done, bring it to me."

Xu Wu Xiaoniang went in a hurry, and after a while, she took a copy of "Chaobao", "The officials should read this first!" "Tabloid News" has just been taken away by Miss Hu, who said that she will send it after reading it. ”

Li Yanqing had no choice but to take the newspaper and open it, the size and layout of "Chao Pao" and "Tabloid Newspaper" were almost the same as today's newspapers, and they were also pieces of tofu block articles, important news were marked in bold letters, and there were also headlines on the front page.

Although it happened three days ago, the news on the front page made Li Yanqing stunned, "The envoys of the Jin State have made an appointment to attack Liao, and the imperial court has officially decided to go on the Northern Expedition."
