Chapter 28 Mother of Thousand Infants
After returning home in the afternoon, Aunt Wang went into the upper room after taking a shower and said with a smile, "The word that the girl can use the Yin Shen needle to save a woman with hemorrhage has spread in the capital.
"Those people still don't believe it, but I said it's true. My eldest sister personally trained my girl. She is not only good at gynecology and pediatrics, she can also treat many diseases..."
What's hard for her to say is that most people don't believe those words.
The person who delivered the baby this time was from a wealthy family, and Aunt Wang received two hundred wages and two silver coins as a reward.
Banxia helped Aunt Wang and received a reward of fifty coins, with a smile on her face.
She handed the money to Feng Chuchen.
Since the rules are set, we must abide by them. Feng Chuchen accepted thirty coins and returned twenty coins to her.
Banxia also paid filial piety to Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang said, "Keep it for yourself."
Feng Chuchen said, "We must abide by the rules set."
Aunt Wang took it with a smile.
Seeing Shaoyao's eyes full of envy, Feng Chuchen said, "From now on, Shaoyao will learn to caress the waist from Aunt Wang. Pinellia ternata will not only learn to deliver babies, but also learn to recognize medicine and administer acupuncture with me."
She wants to train Banxia to be her assistant.
When Dr. Feng was still alive, Banxia studied with Feng Chuchen. Not only could she read and write some words, but she could also recognize some medicines.
The two little girls were very happy after hearing this. They kowtowed first to Feng Chuchen and then to Aunt Wang.
When they finally finished speaking, Feng Buji winked at Aunt Wang.
He was very anxious.
Aunt Wang was so funny that she followed him to the east chamber.
"Auntie, have you heard about Dr. Qin?"
"After asking around, Doctor Qin not only married a daughter-in-law, but she is also pregnant."
Feng Buji was extremely frustrated, "Why did he just marry a wife? He was too anxious."
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Brother, don't be anxious. Now that the girl's reputation for good medical skills has spread, she will definitely find a good son-in-law."
On August 14, the daughter-in-law of a family in the west of the village gave birth, and Aunt Wang went there with peony.
That family had several acres of land and life was easier, so they still hired a midwife for the birth of their third child. The birth went smoothly, taking three and a half hours from onset to delivery.
That family gave Aunt Wang two hundred yuan in full.
Shaoyao was an apprentice and was given no money but only two eggs.
After coming out of that house, Aunt Wang scolded Peony, "I ask you to help people, not to pinch them. Use your legs and arms, but not your hands. Just hold the mother steady..."
"Oh, I will practice holding the goalpost every day from now on."
Shaoyao was very happy and went back to honor her master. Feng Chuchen didn't want it, so she forced an egg onto Feng Buji. The other one was filial to Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang didn’t want it either.
I happened to see a hunter from my parents' village going to the market to sell mountain goods and passing by Baima Village. I asked the man to take the eggs and thirty cents home to his parents.
"Give the eggs to my brother. Tell my parents again that my master is so kind and my life is so easy now. I also learned how to caress my waist with Aunt Wang. Not only do I have monthly money, but I can also earn money in the future."
The man smiled and said, "Da Ya is getting more and more promising."
"My name is not Daya now, my name is Shaoyao, the peony flower of peony flower. The name given by my girl. Does it sound good? Hehehehe..."
"Hey, the name sounds nice, and the person is getting more and more handsome."
The peony is so happy that all the big teeth appear.
The next day, Shaoyao went out to chop wood. When he was about to get home, he suddenly hit a clod of soil on the back of his head.
Shaoyao turned around and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy running towards the village. She quickly ran to catch him.
She slapped the little boy in the face and cursed, "Little boy, how dare you hit me."
The little boy broke away from her hand and cried, "You are evil. You pinched my mother hard while my mother's sister was born. My mother's arms and chest were pinched blue by you. My family has not offended you, why are you doing this to me?" My mother? Wuwuwu..." Shaoyao let go and the little boy ran away.
Shaoyao looked at her big hands. She didn't pinch anyone, she just helped them. Why did she pinch them green?
She returned home depressed and began to practice holding her waist by hugging the doorpost.
At early noon on August 26, Feng Chuchen was reading a book when he heard the faint sound of gongs and drums.
Thinking of some possibility, Feng Chuchen quickly put down his book and walked out.
Feng Buji and Aunt Wang who were walking in the yard rushed out of the yard.
Banxia came back and said with a smile, "Girl, these are some servants from the government office, they are coming to our house beating gongs and drums."
Aunt Wang also came back and said, "Girl, hurry up, take out the firecrackers, peanuts, candies, good tea, and prepare the red envelopes."
Zhao Lizheng has also been paying attention to this matter. When you hear the sound of gongs and drums, run here quickly.
He also asked his eldest son to find Feng Changfu.
For such a big event, there must always be an elder from the Feng family present.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Feng Changfu's grandfather and Doctor Feng's grandfather were three brothers with Feng Taigong. Feng Buji called him Fu Tangshu.
Among the entire Feng family, his family was the only one that did not bully the orphans after Doctor Feng's death.
For fear of offending other clan members, Feng Changfu's family did not interact with Feng Chuchen's siblings.
Feng Changfu still didn't believe that the imperial court would honor Doctor Feng, "I heard from the Grand Duke that Fan's crimes were extremely heinous. Doctor Feng is a descendant of the Fan family, and the imperial court would not honor her."
Mr. Zhao said, "Mr. Feng was blinded by lard, and he only said that because he wanted to eat the whole family. Doctor Feng was born in our village, and the county magistrate is very happy. You are an elder of the Feng family. You are indispensable for helping to entertain the poor man." Your benefits.”
Feng Changfu was dragged away by force.
Not only Zhao Lizheng and his son came to Feng's house, but Zhao Yuanwai and his eldest son also came running, followed by a group of onlookers.
One chamberlain, five government servants, and five government servants had already arrived at the door of Feng's house, and the sound of "cracking" firecrackers rang out from Feng's house.
Feng Buji and Feng Chuchen knelt at the front, while the others knelt at the back.
The chamberlain held the imperial edict and sang loudly.
"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that Feng's family in Changping County, capital city, was of outstanding quality, and he was able to heal people to the point of death. During his lifetime, he was virtuous, philanthropic, and had superb medical skills. He saved countless lives, especially the Yin Shen Acupuncture. Although he had no biological children. Children, but gave life to thousands of infants... According to the example of the righteous woman, build a house in my family..."
The Holy Emperor also wrote a plaque with his own pen: Mother of Thousand Infants.
The imperial court rewarded Doctor Feng with five hundred taels of silver. Doctor Feng died, and her descendants Feng Buji and Feng Chuchen took charge of it.
The Changping County government rewarded him with 50 guan of money, which he used to build the memorial arch and engrave the imperial handwriting on the plaque.
The archways of Dayan Dynasty are divided into four levels.
The first level is the Imperial Archway, which was built by the emperor's decree and with money from the treasury.
The second level is the Enrong Archway, which was built by the emperor's decree and with money from the local government.
The third level is the imperial archway, which was built by the emperor's decree and officials or squires paid for it themselves.
The fourth level is the gift archway, which is built by the emperor or officials or squires with their own money.
The "Mother of Thousand Infants" archway belongs to the second-level Enrong archway. The emperor ordered it and the county government funded its construction.
The design specifications are two columns and one room on the third floor.
In ancient times, hierarchy was important, and investors and designers must not exceed the rules.
The chamberlain put the handwritten letter and the imperial notice in Feng Buji's hand, and the yamen servant placed two small boxes containing silver and fifty coins in front of the two siblings.
Thank you Song Amei for the reward, and thank you all for your monthly votes and support.
