My father is Jiajing

Chapter 456: This job is really talented
After lunch, Zhu Zaigui and Zhu Zaizhen sat together drinking tea and chatting, while Chen and Princess Jing sat together chatting about some secrets that no one else could hear.

Chen looked at Princess Jing's belly with envy. Although Princess Jing was not pregnant yet, the unique maternal glow was already evident in her.

Chen said, "Sister, you will be pregnant with twins in the future. You must take good care of yourself and never let Prince Jing get pregnant, so as to avoid disturbing the fetus."

When Princess Jing heard what Chen said, her cheeks turned slightly red and she quietly looked in the direction of Zhu Zaigui.

But in Chen's opinion, the direction Princess Jing was looking at was indeed the direction where Zhu Zaizhen was, so she did not suspect anything. She just thought that since Princess Jing could be so shy, she must have a very good relationship with Prince Jing.

So she couldn't help feeling gratified and touched, because she was also Zhu Zaigui's favorite in Prince Yu's Mansion.

Princess Jing said, "Thank you for your concern, my sister-in-law. The prince treats me very well and will not do anything beyond the rules."

Chen smiled and said, "That's good. If Prince Jing really can't hold back, you can tell me and I'll go and whisper a word to my prince. He will definitely help my sister."

Princess Jing nodded softly. She knew better than anyone how Zhu Zaigui would help her, and she also knew better than anyone how much help Zhu Zaigui could provide.

Today, she was already overjoyed when she saw Zhu Zaigui coming to the mansion. Now, she saw Zhu Zaigui and Zhu Zaizhen sitting together not far from her, and she was also satisfied.

Zhu Zaizhen sat opposite Zhu Zaiqi and always spoke in a low voice.

Zhu Zaizhen said: "Third brother, now the princess is pregnant, what should I do?"

Zhu Zaigui calmly drank a sip of tea and said, "Just do what you have to do. Just treat it as usual. Don't be too nervous, and don't listen to those messy supernatural taboos. Just follow Wan Mi Zhai's instructions and take good care of the baby."

"Also, we need to let her exercise well. When she has nothing to do, she can walk around in the yard more often. That way, when she gives birth, both her physical fitness and the baby's physical condition will be much better than if she just lies there all the time."

Zhu Zaizhen believed in Zhu Zaigui's explanation without a doubt. After all, Zhu Zaigui already had four children, and there were several concubines who were about to give birth and were being well taken care of in the inner house of the palace.

What made Zhu Zaizhen even more convinced was that Zhu Zaigui had so many children, but none of them died young.

This is also an incredible happy event in today's era.

Therefore, after Zhu Zaigui said these words, Zhu Zaizhen naturally took them as his guiding principle.

And there is an even more important point, that is, this child is also Zhu Zaigui's child, and he will definitely not harm his own child.

Therefore, after listening to Zhu Zaigui's words, Zhu Zaizhen felt really relieved.

Zhu Zaiqi then said, "You can let her eat more seasonal fruits to supplement her vitamins. In winter, if you don't have any fruits at home, you can come to me and get some."

"In recent years, under the guidance of professional agricultural officials, the old farmers in Xishan have used glass greenhouses to produce off-season fruits and vegetables that could only be grown in hot springs during the Han and Tang dynasties. Although the taste is not as good as seasonal fruits and vegetables, it is still a taste."

Zhu Zaizhen remembered Zhu Zaigui's words again, but there was one sentence he still didn't quite understand.

Zhu Zaizhen asked: "Third brother, what are vitamins?"

Zhu Zaigui explained, "In addition to the nutrients provided by the daily diet, the human body also has some essential trace elements." "This is also the new result of the research of Li Shizhen, Wan Mizhai and others. After they made this new discovery, I helped to name them 'vitamins'."

Zhu Zaizhen nodded suddenly. So this was what it meant.

But he still had some confusion about what vitamins were.

At this time, Zhu Zaigui made another analogy and said: "For example, people need to eat salt. With salt, people have strength, but salt cannot be eaten too much, but it is indispensable, so we can regard salt as a trace element."

"Although the effects provided by vitamins are not as direct as those provided by salt, they are also indispensable."

"For example, people who are sailing on the sea have to find ways to eat fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins that are not usually taken seriously."

"Otherwise, a long voyage on the open sea would cause them to suffer from a type of sepsis, which, in severe cases, would not only cause bleeding from the mouth and nose, and tooth loss, but could also be life-threatening."

"Besides the pregnant woman herself, there is also a little life in her belly. All the nutritional needs of this little life are obtained through the mother's nutritional needs."

"Therefore, in order to ensure the nutrition of pregnant women and their fetuses, we must prepare more fruits and vegetables for them that can meet their trace element intake."

After Zhu Zaigui's straightforward explanation and metaphor, Zhu Zaizhen also felt that his knowledge had broadened significantly.

In the past, his understanding of the body and pathology was a summary of the yin and yang and the five elements as generally considered in traditional medicine.

This method is more than enough for maintaining health, but it is very different when it comes to curing diseases and saving lives.

This is why some people often seem to have the same disease, but after taking the same medicine, some may be cured, while others may have no effect at all.

Ultimately, this is because doctors' treatment is limited by the development of science and technology and they cannot understand the true cause of the disease in a more detailed and meticulous way.

We can only judge the patient's condition based on our past experience. If we make the right judgment, then everything will be fine.

But if there is a deviation, and the sick person is a noble or wealthy person, many doctors would rather use some tonic prescriptions that cannot cure the disease than use those risky and dangerous drugs just to be on the safe side.

Therefore, this is also the reason why in ancient society, many nobles who were already lacking in physical fitness had short lifespans.

Because the people who treat and prescribe medicine for them are too afraid of taking responsibility, so in the end minor illnesses are delayed into major illnesses, and major illnesses are delayed into incurable diseases.

As for the doctors who treated the patient at the time, as long as the patient was not killed on the spot by the medicine they prescribed, they have reasons to shirk responsibility.

After all, this is how the predecessors prescribed medicine to treat diseases. Even if other colleagues with superior medical skills were asked to test their prescriptions, they would have nothing to say.

After all, the plot of killing imperial physicians and burying them with the emperor only appears frequently in novels and TV dramas. In reality, no matter whether it is the emperor or other important figures, they will not kill doctors easily. After all, they have to consider whether there will be anyone to treat them when they get sick in the future.

If seeing a doctor means your life is threatened, what kind of job is this?
