Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

The next day, Zhou Wuxie came to ask for a meeting again.

Qin Xiuyuan brought his little daughter to meet him in the hall. Xiao Si had scabs on her mouth and face, which itched from time to time and she kept picking at them with her hands. She was wearing fingerless gloves, a cute hat and shoes, and double-sided tortoise shells. She walked unsteadily with the help of someone, and Qin San watched her closely.

"General, the little girl is very cute and innocent."

Qin Xiuyuan smiled, his eyes never leaving his daughter. "Yes, how many children does Mr. Zhou have?"

"I dare not. I have four legitimate sons and three illegitimate sons."

Eight, and two more in the belly. Qin Xiuyuan watched his little daughter stare at him as she rushed over like a pony. He quickly took a few steps and leaned over to catch her, lifting her high in the air and giving her a loving hug, "Little Four is awesome!"

Xiao Si recognized the approving lip shape and pointed outside the door, asking his father to take him out.

"Be good, Qin San will take you there."

There were only two men left in the hall, and Qin Xiuyuan looked at Zhou Wuxie.

Zhou Wuxie stood up and saluted. "General, in my early years, I had the good fortune to meet a hermit doctor living in the mountains. Rumor has it that a woman who came to him seeking a child, nearly fifty years old, was able to conceive and give birth to three children in a row. This miraculous doctor is adept at treating difficult and complicated illnesses, including those of delirium, madness, hearing loss, and fear of cold. I have verified these abilities many times before reporting them to you, General."

Princess Changping gave birth to four sons in succession, and everyone in Chang'an knew about it. Zheng Da brought news that this former most beautiful woman in the capital was now pregnant with twins and was about to give birth.

"I wonder where this miracle doctor is now?"

Zhou Wuxie quickly replied, "My wife Changping is seven months pregnant, and the miracle doctor is currently at my residence."

Qin Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Bring this miracle doctor to our house this afternoon. If it's as you said, then it will be as you wish."

"I dare not. I only wish the general and his family good health and that Chang'an will enjoy peace and prosperity."

His attitude is very humble.

When the news reached Wangshu's ears, he asked, "Are the children in the Prince Consort's Mansion any good? What about the three sons born at the age of fifty?"

Qin Xiuyuan was not one to gossip. He touched his chin and said, "I don't know. I'll ask Zheng Da to come over."

living room.

Ji Shou arrived first with a smile on his face, took over the three account books, and turned to the last one, where he saw the signature of a very familiar lady.

"I'll give the final bill to General Zhang tomorrow."

Qin Xiuyuan flipped through the figures at the back and was shocked. The tax surplus was not enough. "We'll settle it if we can."

"Got it!" Ji Shou hid the account book close to his body, "Miss, the account book has been issued. I will go to the horse farm later."

Most of the new horses in the army come from the easternmost horse farm. Many ponies are added every year, and someone always has to go there in spring to verify them, and also send new horse breeders and trainers.

Ji Shou did everything himself, and Wangshu advised him, "Send a shopkeeper over. Don't you want to find a girl and get married at your age?"

When the topic of marriage suddenly came up, Qin Xiuyuan and Ji Shou both looked over.

"Miss, I haven't met anyone I like."

"What about the one you like?" Wangshu asked him to lower his requirements.

"I'll look for it again." Ji Shou said this again.

"Where can I find one? Is there no girl in Chang'an that you think is suitable? While you are still young and strong, the baby you give birth to will be stronger, and you can raise and teach him together."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shou approached Wangshu and asked in a low voice, "Miss, are the babies born at older ages not good enough?"

"What do you think?" Wangshu agreed in a low voice, handing over the lotus root candy. "Although the initial deficiency can be compensated later, lotus root farmers still choose sturdy young lotus roots for sowing. Wouldn't it be better if we could have the best of both worlds?"

Ji Shou picked up a lotus root slice and nodded. "That's right." He sighed. "It's a pity that the young lady doesn't go out often, so she can't help me with the selection."

"Manager Ji, I'm often out." Zheng Da walked over and said, "Zheng Da greets the general and the madam."

"You went out at night." Ji Shou shook his head, took a piece of lotus root slice from the small table next to Wangshu, returned to the seat below, and chewed it.

Back to business, Zheng Da responded with the information he knew.

"It's true that she gave birth to three sons in a row at the age of fifty. This old woman lost her son in middle age, and since her family was very wealthy, she took the risk of taking drugs to conceive. Now one son drowned, one is sickly, and the eldest is twelve years old, so he's doing okay. As for the children in the Prince Consort's house, the princess is in charge of the household. The first two sons are okay, but the last two were premature and skinny. The twins are only seven months old, and there's a rumor going around that she's already had a premature period."

"Why is there a premature birth?"

Qin Xiuyuan didn't understand why Shushu was so slow to act both times.

"The princess has a bad temper because her husband dotes on his concubine. Anyway, this couple always quarrels." Zheng Da spread his hands. "This princess is very good at giving birth to sons. This time, the twins are both boys."

Six sons.

Zheng Da didn't hold much hope for a miracle doctor. "Although the young lady has a hidden illness, she is in good health. The general should be cautious when seeking medical advice."

Wangshu agreed, "Come and listen. Is the old woman still here?"

Zheng Da shook his head. "He's long gone. Died of metrorrhagia."

Wangshu's curiosity suddenly faded after hearing this. "If a doctor doesn't speak of a parent's heart, then he has no compassion at all!"

Ji Shou was also disappointed, "That's right, they said they gave birth to three sons in a row, why didn't they say the mother died when the sons were born!" He quickly disagreed with the doctor, "Miss, I can't see you!"

Wangshu looked at Qin Xiuyuan, whose initial hope had been greatly reduced. "Let's see what the explanation is for the deafness."

He ordered Tang Bo to invite several doctors in the city who had treated Xiao Si to come to his house. "Everyone will listen to it then."

As this person was speaking, the two turtle shell children who were already familiar with the hall, one walked away letting go, and the other held on to someone with hot feet, all rushed towards Qin Xiuyuan.

The father held one baby in each hand, holding them steadily. The baby, wearing shoes and hats, had bright eyes and white teeth, and was chubby and white. Their short legs were swinging in their father's arms.

Ji Shou smiled so hard that his eyes couldn't even crack. He leaned over and touched the soft little clothes, "You can even walk now!"

"Yes!" Xiao San pointed at the lotus root slices in his mother's hand and asked for them.

Wangshu ate mouthful after mouthful, and Xiaosan was so anxious that his father could hardly hold him. He quickly put him down and strode towards the target, "I want it! I want it!"

"Mother~" Wangshu let him hold her legs and climb up, teaching him to call her, "Mother~"

Two bowls of minced beef noodles were served. Xiaoqing took them, stirred them twice, and poured half a bowl into the small bowls in the corner. The puppies ate them all, wagging their tails. Then the wet nurse began to feed the babies one by one.

Unlike other babies, who are very reluctant to be fed by the white-faced dogs on their left and right, and will run away if they can, when the third and fourth babies come to be fed, they sit very still and will not move a step away from where they are.

As soon as the feeding was over, Xiao San was taken away, and Xiao Si hung in her father's arms, playing with her hanging braids.

Several doctors arrived one after another, and took Xiao Si's pulse, checked his ears, and talked to him. Zhou Wuji brought the genius doctor over and saw exactly this scene - the general bent down and followed a little girl who was learning to walk in the hall, while the others sat down and looked at each other.

"The little lady is learning to walk quickly."

"Your humble servant Zhou Wuxie pays respects to the Madam."
