Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 57 The Daughter of the Scholar in the Red Mansion 14

After Yuan Wei's coming-of-age ceremony, the Lin family gradually returned to peace.

I don’t know if it was because of the good care she had taken before, but Jia Min’s pregnancy went exceptionally smoothly, with no morning sickness at all.

I can eat and sleep every day, but I sleep too much and often fall asleep while talking.

Fortunately, the doctor said there was no problem, and Yuan Wei now checks Jia Min's pulse every day.

Regardless of whether she could do it or not, Jia Min would happily take her pulse every day. Sometimes Yuan Wei was so busy that she forgot that she was still unhappy.

I have to wait until Yuan Wei has taken my pulse before I can feel happy again.

What can Yuan Wei do?

Of course you are the biggest one because you are pregnant.

On this day, Yuan Wei was teaching the pastry chef how to make a cake in the kitchen. Jia Min seemed to have no appetite these days, so Yuan Wei thought of making a cake for her to try.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. As Yuan Wei walked out, she saw the maid happily saying to her, "Miss, Master Su has passed the imperial examination!"

Yuan Wei was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Really? Who brought the news?"

"Uncle Zhao brought Zhao Qing in to announce the good news. They are still with the master in the front yard. The master asked someone to notify the inner courtyard." The maid said happily following Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei showed a surprised smile on her face, and she immediately walked into the yard to tell Jia Min the good news.

When Yuan Wei returned to the main courtyard, she found that Jia Min had already known the news.

She was instructing Madam Zhao, "...Put some more practical things in here. Also, Young Master Su is a scholar, so you can take some extra pens, inkstones, and the like. Once you've prepared them, remember to send them to Young Master Su."

After Jia Min finished her instructions, she turned to look at Yuan Wei and asked with a smile, "Wei'er, is there anything you want Madam Zhao to bring to Master Su?"

Yuan Wei nodded generously and replied, "I've asked Fan Shuang to get it."

After hearing Yuan Wei's answer, Jia Min smiled even more, and even the maids around her started laughing.

Seeing this, Yuan Wei sighed helplessly and sat there awkwardly, letting them laugh.

But he secretly complained in his heart: What a joke these people are. They just asked someone to bring something to Su Yuebai. What's so funny?

At this time, Zhao Ma Ma accepted the order and left. Jia Min turned her gaze to Yuan Wei and said with a smile, "Now you should be relieved, right?"

After hearing what Jia Min said, Yuan Wei raised the corners of her mouth slightly and replied softly, "I have never been worried."

"You are just being stubborn." Jia Min shook her head, obviously not believing what Yuan Wei said.

Yuan Wei: “…”

Why don't you believe me? I'm telling the truth!

The reason why she was so calm was, on the one hand, because she had great confidence in Su Yuebai, and on the other hand, because she really didn't care whether Su Yuebai could pass the imperial examination.

Isn’t this a very normal thing?

Why do you think she must be worried that Su Yuebai won't pass the exam?

The importance that the ancients attached to the imperial examination and status far exceeded her imagination.

The Lin family was bustling with activity because Su Yuebai passed the imperial examination, and everyone was happy for Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei was influenced by them and gradually began to feel joy.

This made Jia Min feel even more that she was just being stubborn.

The next day, since Jia Min loved eating cakes very much, Yuan Wei asked the kitchen to make another one according to the recipe of yesterday.

Jia Min had nothing to do and wanted to go to the kitchen to see how the cake was made.

Aunt Zhao quickly tried to dissuade them, saying, "The kitchen is so busy and chaotic. It would be bad if someone accidentally bumped into Madam."

Jia Min smiled and said, "Just think of it as a walk. Didn't Mammy say we should move around more now?"

Seeing that Jia Min did have this idea, Yuan Wei immediately stood up, carefully supported Jia Min and said, "Then I will go with my aunt."

Then she turned to Aunt Zhao and said, "Aunt, please go to the kitchen first and tell them to be careful so as not to disturb my aunt."

Jia Min couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "You are really too cautious."

Despite saying this, Jia Min still felt very happy.

"Madam, as a woman with a double body, it is never too careful." Hanmei said with a smile.

Yuan Wei walked slowly with Jia Min, and the two chatted. Yuan Wei again mentioned her idea of ​​studying medicine.

Jia Min looked at Yuan Wei's expectant eyes, feeling a little hesitant and worried.

Yuan Wei has always been keen on reading medical books, but as time went on, she gradually realized that relying solely on reading medical books would not improve her medical skills.

She hopes to find a teacher and improve her skills through practical experience.

However, Jia Min did not agree with her in-depth study of medical skills, and believed that girls could just read medical books and learn on their own, and could regard it as a hobby.

But if you want to follow a doctor to learn seriously and take people's pulse, it is absolutely not possible.

Because this may cause criticism from others and question Yuan Wei's family education.

To put it bluntly, girls cannot show themselves in public easily.

Yuan Wei felt helpless about Jia Min and the entire ancient society's perception and restrictions on women. She knew she couldn't change this concept, but she was unwilling to give up her medical studies.

At this moment, Jia Min noticed the lost look on Yuan Wei's face. She gently held Yuan Wei's hand and said softly, "If you really want to learn, then learn from the medical girl first."

In fact, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai had discussed many times whether Yuan Wei should be prevented from studying medicine.

In the end, they decided to stop it if they could. If they couldn't stop it and Yuan Wei really liked it, they would let her go and learn it, with the female doctor teaching her first.

If she still loves studying medicine after studying for a period of time, she will then look for an experienced doctor to teach her more advanced medical skills.

They always protected her.

Lin Ruhai also wrote a letter to ask Su Yuebai for his opinion on Yuan Wei's study of medicine.

After receiving the letter, Su Yuebai replied: "No matter what she chooses to do, she will always be a girl from the Yuan family, and my future wife."

Yuan Wei didn't know about these things.

Even if she didn't mention this today, Jia Min would probably agree to let her study medicine, and she had already found a female doctor with superb medical skills as her teacher in advance.

When Yuan Wei heard the news, she smiled with joy and her excitement was beyond words.

She thanked Jia Min gratefully and said that she would first follow the midwife to learn medical skills.

Although she has mastered some knowledge of midwifery in modern times, ancient midwives had many unique techniques and experiences, which is exactly what she needs to learn.

In addition, what Yuan Wei most wanted was to conduct in-depth research on those strange poisons, especially those that had appeared around Jia Min before.

Only when she fully understands these poisons can she better prevent them.

"One more thing." Yuan Wei suggested, as if she had thought of something, "Find a few literate maids to learn with me, so that we can use them in the future."

At this point, Yuan Wei looked at Jia Min's belly and said, "This way, my sister will have a maid who knows medicine by her side in the future, which will be much more convenient."

Hearing Yuan Wei's words, Jia Min's body stiffened slightly, but soon relaxed.

She smiled and said to Yuan Wei, "Sister? Okay, then you must carefully select a few maids. Your sister is counting on you."

This was the first time Yuan Wei told Jia Min so clearly that she was pregnant with a girl.

Ever since learning that Jia Min was pregnant, everyone in the Lin family, from top to bottom, tacitly assumed that she was pregnant with a boy.

This strong sense of expectation deeply influenced Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and perhaps even they themselves hoped that the child would be a boy.

Yuan Wei was worried that their expectations were too high, and if they ended up giving birth to a girl, they might be disappointed or even sad.

This is unfair and disadvantageous to Lin Daiyu.

Yuan Wei joked in a relaxed tone, "Yes, there are flowers before there are fruits. Our sister was born first, and then we waited for the brother to come."

In fact, many doctors are able to determine the gender of the fetus in a pregnant woman's womb by the pulse.

However, Jia Min did not specifically ask about these things.

After all, after a long decade, she felt very lucky to finally be pregnant again.

She will happily accept it no matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

It’s just that people around her always say that she is pregnant with a boy, and she is too lazy to correct others.

When Jia Min heard Yuan Wei say that she was pregnant with a girl, she was surprised for a moment, but she quickly accepted it.

They walked slowly across the garden and soon arrived at the kitchen door.

As soon as Jia Min stepped in, she suddenly felt as if she stepped on something, causing her to lose her balance and slide forward. She instantly lost her balance and fell backwards. "Ah!"

"Be careful."

Yuan Wei screamed, and the hand that was originally supporting Jia Min tightly grabbed Jia Min's arm and pulled her back forcefully. At the same time, the other hand quickly stretched out and hugged Jia Min directly around the waist.

In this way, Yuan Wei relied on her own strength to lead Jia Min back several steps before finally gaining a firm foothold.

This sudden change frightened the maids and nannies around. They screamed in fear at first, but soon became stunned.

At this time, Jia Min had not yet recovered from the danger just now, and her face still maintained a panic expression.

Yuan Wei gently put Jia Min down, then carefully looked her up and down, and asked with concern: "Aunt, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Jia Min shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

But her heart was filled with doubts, and she couldn't help but say, "I'm fine, Wei'er, you..."

She wanted to ask Yuan Wei how she had so much strength to be able to hold her up and carry her so easily.

But when she saw the curious eyes around her, she finally didn't ask.

At this time, the people around reacted and came forward to check and ask.

Jia Min took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She took Yuan Wei's hand and walked back slowly, saying to Yuan Wei as she walked, "Let's go back first."

Before leaving, Jia Min gave Hanmei and Zhao Ma a wink.
