The Transmigrated Life of a Salty Fish Family

Chapter 888 Manager Yan
"Madam Li, where is Miss Qiuxiang from your household? We are very curious about this renowned female physician who is known throughout the city!"

"Yes, yes, is there really such a miraculous skill? To be able to remove a child from the abdomen?!"

A group of ladies surrounded Li Xuemei, their eyes filled with interest.

"Seeing is believing. Once the Crown Princess is feeling better, you can all go and ask her yourselves," Li Xuemei said, keeping everyone in suspense.

“Oh, Madam Li, please stop teasing us. Every woman is trembling with fear during childbirth. If there really is such a miraculous technique, we must get to know Miss Qiuxiang. If we don’t have daughters, we have nieces and nephews. If we can give birth smoothly, who would want them to suffer that excruciating pain?”

"That's right, Madam Li, please speak quickly."

Li Xuemei's smile faded slightly, and her expression became serious.

"The claims of divine magic and miraculous skills are exaggerated, and the claim of 'separation of the abdomen' is even more untrue."

The ladies were somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

Li Xuemei smiled and recounted the events of that day.

"Then the Crown Princess will have a scar on her abdomen?" a lady whispered.

“We all know that childbirth is like passing through the gates of hell for a woman. Compared to life, scars are nothing,” another lady said.

“That makes sense,” Madam Pang said solemnly. “In the future, we can find ways to remove or cover the scars. During childbirth, the most important thing is that both mother and child are safe.”

Madam Fang, who only had two daughters, was even more concerned about the details of the delivery technique and hurriedly asked, "Madam Li, can this delivery method resolve malposition of the fetus with the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck?"

Li Xuemei nodded and said, "This method is not needed for a smooth delivery. It is more useful during a difficult delivery, but it cannot be used when you are in a critical situation."

This method of childbirth requires a clean, dust-free room and delivery bed to be prepared in advance. During the delivery, the room is fumigated with wine and vinegar. The midwife must also prepare clean clothing beforehand and avoid contact with people outside. All utensils must be cleaned and disposed of properly beforehand, and numerous towels and other items must be prepared in advance.

"Before the Crown Princess went into labor, Qiu Xiang had already entered the mansion and kept a close eye on the Crown Princess's health."

This method is not suitable for women who are too weak, obese, or have ailments such as heart disease, headache, or liver disease.

Fortunately, the Crown Princess was only a little petite, and otherwise unharmed.

Before production, no one knew if these things would be needed; they were just being prepared, just in case…

Li Xuemei spoke at length, trying her best to make everyone understand the benefits and drawbacks of cesarean section.

Yes, drawbacks.

Currently, there are no sterile operating rooms, no blood bags, no cardiac stimulants, and no anti-inflammatory drugs...

It is not suitable for large-scale promotion at all.

Qiu Xiang is usable because she is a professional medical robot.

She can self-heat and sterilize, even surgical instruments. She can see the fetus through the belly, comparable to an X-ray. Her hands are so steady that even a category 7 or 8 typhoon cannot shake them. She sutures quickly and well, and every stitch has the effect of a cosmetic suture.

Li Xuemei's statement that she wanted these ladies to see for themselves was sincere. If the Crown Princess was willing to show them, they would find that the so-called scarring was really nothing to worry about.

In just three days, the Crown Princess's abdominal incision had already swelled up considerably.

The healing is progressing very well.

The ladies understood that this method of scalpel delivery was very complicated, and it would be too late to hire someone at the last minute; preparations needed to be made well in advance.

Li Xuemei immediately felt the warmth of the ladies.

……

Yan Yu was originally accompanying Young Master Mian in receiving male guests.

The young master returned in a hurry, so she stepped down and officially took over her godfather's job as the steward of the mansion.

Today she wore a red dress, a gift from the Crown Prince's wife. The fabric was of the finest quality, a vibrant red, with subtle patterns that shimmered as she moved.

A jade ring hangs from the white jade belt, connected to a light blue tassel.

On her head, a small tuft of hair was fastened with a pheasant crown, also called a military crown, which was supposed to have two tail feathers inserted to show her heroic and imposing presence as a young general.

The Crown Princess, however, thought it didn't look good and had it inlaid with white jade of the same material as the belt.

Her outfit made her stand out in the palace, like a round, red cloud rolling around.

"Chief Steward Yan, the young master has returned with over a hundred men. What do you think..."

"Go to Tianxiang Restaurant and inform them to send twenty tables as soon as possible." Yan Yu quickly wrote a note, took out the small seal given to him by the Crown Princess, breathed on it, and stamped it. "I've already spoken to Tianxiang Restaurant and asked them to prepare in advance. Take this and go quickly."

The man took the note and was about to leave when she called him back.

"Wait, bring me the note. I'll add another item and have them send over thirty more jars of strong liquor."

"Young Steward Yan! What should we do? Madam Zhao insists on taking a seat, and no amount of persuasion can dissuade her. She's already seated, and the seating arrangements have all been made. The other ladies haven't gone over yet, so please go and take a look." The man who came ran over, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Are you already seated?" Yan Yu took two steps and then stopped, asking.

"Yes, I'm sitting down."

Yan Yu thought for a moment, then looked up at the sky.

Today is truly a beautiful day, with a clear blue sky, wispy clouds drifting gently in the breeze.

She smiled, revealing two rows of neat little teeth.

"The weather is so nice, let's move all the tables and chairs out and set up the banquet in the back garden. I remember there are a few tents in the storeroom, find them, big and small, and have them set up quickly. If we don't have enough manpower, we'll go to the guards that the young master brought back, and ask Granny Cui for more people. We'll also open the young master's private treasury and find some nice, light gauze and screens."

Yan Yu wrote the note, stamped it, and headed towards the back garden.

He instructed along the way: "The back garden is closer to the kitchen. While there's still time, have them practice serving the dishes once, and make sure they remember which table they're responsible for."

"You asked us to set out four small dishes on the table first, and all the dishes were marked. They can't go wrong by matching the marks."

"Since the location has been changed at the last minute, it's better to rehearse first to avoid making mistakes in the rush." ​​Steward Yan said with an air of authority and a stern face, "Keep your hands steady and your eyes sharp. Don't bump into the guests, and be careful not to bump into each other. It's okay if you make some minor mistakes after closing the gates, but today is the baby's third-day celebration at the manor. No one is allowed to make any mistakes and embarrass the Prince Ying's manor!"

"Don't worry, Steward Yan, we'll save you the trouble."

Yan Yu went to the back garden and watched as people made arrangements.

With their hands behind their backs, they talk but don't use their hands.

The screen and gauze not only blocked the view and concealed the simple scenery, but also added a touch of brightness under the sunlight. In addition, the clusters of flowers in the back garden were a delight to behold. The ladies who were led here all praised it.

When Li Xuemei learned that the location had been changed at the last minute, she inquired about the details.

Knowing it was because of Madam Zhao, he chatted with the ladies for a while longer without making a sound before arranging for everyone to move to the back garden to take their seats.

"That must be General Yan! Oh my, he looks so bright and beautiful!" Madam Fang spotted the red outfit from afar.

"Her godfather is in the capital with the Prince, and the family is overjoyed. How could her grandson be idle? He's busy running errands and delivering messages. Please don't mind, ladies. We'll have the waiter greet you another day," Li Xuemei said with a smile.

“General Yan holds a formal official position, which we cannot accept,” Madam Pang said with a smile, her tone tinged with intimacy. “I heard that the Yan family army has been favored by Duke Pan and is to be transferred to the capital? When will they depart?”

Li Xuemei: "It will be soon. Xiao Er misses her father very much and can't wait to set off with the army. She will be leaving in the next few days."

My neck feels chilly with the air conditioning on, but it's unbearably hot without it!
The only thing you can do is switch on and off...
