The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 380

Chunnuan gave birth to a son and a daughter. Zhao Minghua felt sorry for her and doted on the children.

Especially his little daughter, Zhao Minghua always held her in his arms, and he could never get enough of looking at her.

"Can you see a flower in your eyes?" Chunnuan couldn't help but tease him. "Ever since you found out you were pregnant with them, you've been thinking about names. Have you chosen any yet?"

"We haven't figured it out yet," Zhao Minghua said with a smile. "No matter how I think about it, I feel that any name would suit my daughter."

Chunnuan was so angry she laughed. The emperor's daughter wasn't even as precious as his daughter.

Even the emperor's daughter can be given a name within three days, but this person has been researching for three months and then another three months without coming up with an explanation.

"How about Ruiyan?" Zhao Minghua was pressed for an answer and thought of that name.

Since it was his idea, Chunnuan naturally didn't object.

"And what about the son? What's his name?"

"Isn't that wise?"

"Yan'er, Zhi'er"

These two names are passable.

It was really not easy; his father finally came up with these two names when the baby was almost a month old.

To Chunnuan's surprise, when the child turned one month old, both the Empress Dowager and the Empress sent gifts through their personal maids.

This honor is comparable to that of royalty.

"Second Aunt, look what I made for my younger brother and sister!"

Chunnuan took out two accessories.

"Is this an incense tablet?"

Chunnuan took it, looked at it, smelled it, and was extremely surprised: "You made this yourself?"

"Second Aunt, you're amazing! You even guessed that."

"You have a heart."

Spring warmth is very touching.

Incense sticks are made by carefully grinding, mixing and pressing natural spices and plants.

Incense sticks not only emit fragrance but also serve a decorative purpose.

She has no shortage of gold and silver jewelry, but items like this, with auspicious and beautiful meanings, are handmade by her, which truly requires a lot of love.

"Let me guess, it contains patchouli, agastache, orange peel, mint, cardamom, and cloves."

"Second Aunt, you're really amazing! You made all of these things, not one of them is missing." Panpan said, "I figured that with summer coming, there would be more mosquitoes, so I made these incense sticks. I hope my younger brother and sister will like them."

"I like it, I definitely like it."

Chunnuan handed the incense stick to Baizhi next to her.

"I'll tie it around the waist of the two children later. They're too small to be worn around the neck, or something might happen."

"Second Aunt, can I tie my little brother around my neck?"

"Yes, let the wet nurse take care of him."

The main consideration is that it should not be too tight around the neck and should not pose any safety risks.

Just then, they heard footsteps.

"Big cousin, big cousin..."

Needless to say, the little guy has arrived.

It's strange how people are. Even though he has many older cousins, he's still closest to Panpan.

Every time she hears that Panpan is coming, no matter what he is doing, she runs over to see her sister as fast as she can.

"Slow down, don't fall."

Panpan squatted down and opened her arms, waiting for him.

The little guy immediately jumped into Panpan's arms.

"Big cousin, I've missed you so much! Why did it take you so long to come?"

Panpan...didn't I just come here yesterday?

The clingy little one, chubby and with a mouth as sweet as honey, said, "Big cousin, I smell your fragrance! Did you bring me something delicious? Mom and Dad said my younger brother and sister are too small to feed them, but I can help. I'll feed them."

"You little glutton!" Chun Nuan laughed in exasperation. She was wondering why she always liked Panpan; it turned out she was eyeing the food Panpan brought.

Yes, Panpan's greatest hobby was making food. She would turn some medicinal herbs into pastries or dumplings, which she would not only eat herself, but also send to the palace for the nobles to eat.

Chunyu was extremely worried about this.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress, however, were unsurprised by Panpan's behavior.

The emperor and the young prince would both eat some of the meatballs she made.

Chunnuan often took the emperor's pulse and discovered that the poison he had been afflicted with years ago was gradually lessening.

Indeed, the things recorded in my grandfather's old notes were truly uniquely useful.

The Empress Dowager also sent people to retrieve the precious medicinal herbs needed to cure the Emperor's poison, and they will make the pills as soon as she finishes her postpartum confinement.

"Panpan, this incense stick you made is quite nice."

Chunnuan was talking to Panpan about what other ingredients could be used to make incense sticks when the gatekeeper came to report.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Fu from the palace has arrived."

"Please come in quickly," Chunnuan said. "Where's Minghua? Let him receive them first."

During her postpartum period, Chunnuan felt that she was a bit unkempt and needed to tidy herself up before she could be seen in public.

"The master just left the manor, saying he has important business at the shop."

"That……"

"Second Aunt, let Panpan go and greet Grandpa Fu. You can come right after her."

"it is good."

This child is so sensible.

As spring warms up, I quickly wash and comb my hair.

When they arrived at the main hall, Fu Gonggong and Panpan were chatting happily.

"Greetings, Eunuch Fu. Excuse me, you're the one with the child..."

"Sir, there's no need for such formality. We understand."

Although he never had any children of his own in his life, he could truly understand. Just think about the people who served the emperor; they were no ordinary people.

She was exceptionally perceptive, and of course she knew why Chunnuan hadn't arrived in time to greet her.

The reason why Grandpa Fu could think this way was because Chun Nuan was not usually that kind of person.

When she entered the palace, she often brought plasters for Eunuch Fu to apply to his chronic leg pain.

Therefore, Fu Gonggong didn't take this slight neglect to heart at all.

"I don't know what kind of old man Fu is..."

"It is like this, sir. The Emperor knows that you are still in confinement and it is inconvenient for you to travel, so he specially sent our servant to deliver a letter to you. You can reply to the Emperor after you read it."

Grandpa Fu quickly took out the letter.

Chunnuan was somewhat surprised after seeing it.

"A large number of mosquitoes have appeared in Qiongzhou. After being bitten, the skin develops red welts and ulcers, causing high fever and loss of consciousness?"

"Yes, His Majesty has received memorials from Qiongzhou for several days in a row. He even asked the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital if they had any solutions, but they were all at a loss. So he specially sent this old servant to find you, sir."

"Panpan, you need to go to the palace." Chunnuan remembered the incense tablet: "Firstly, for epidemic prevention, and secondly, for treatment."

"I will write a prescription for you to take to the palace."

"Yes, Second Aunt."

"Thank you for your help, Grandpa Fu."

"This is what this old servant should do." Eunuch Fu thought to himself, "How fortunate is the Great Zhou to have Physician Xiao and his granddaughter."

The last time there was a plague in the Hubei and Hunan regions, it was also thanks to the great efforts of Dr. Xiao's grandchildren.

After returning to the capital, Xiao Chun-ning was appointed Minister of Revenue, and was promoted four ranks in a row. Some old-fashioned people in the court were envious and jealous, but there was really nothing they could do. They believed that they had no chance.

When the accompanying physician, Fang, returned and recounted the situation in the epidemic area, he expressed his utmost admiration for Xiao Chun-ning and was also very grateful for the Xiao family's prescription. If it weren't for the Xiao family's willingness to share their medicine and treat everyone, he and those disaster victims would have already passed away, and the grass on their graves would be three feet high.
