In late August, all the sweet potatoes in the field were harvested. The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is two or three stone more than the old farmer's estimate. After enough sweet potatoes are reserved for cultivation next year, the rest will be distributed to the counties below. Local officials will send people to publicize the benefits of sweet potatoes and encourage them to plant more sweet potatoes after the spring of next year.

The promotion in Yanzhou City is earlier and more smooth than that in other counties. Many people have seen the sweet potato field outside the city, but they don't know what is planted in it. Now some officials have come forward to publicize and explain, and they know that it is a newly discovered crop. Although they don't know about the new crops, the people in Yanzhou City have blind trust in the general and the princess. It's said that the general and the princess ordered the promotion of planting, and the people with surplus grain in their families took grain or silver money in exchange for sweet potatoes.

There are a lot of sweet potatoes harvested, but it is far from enough to spread to the whole Yanzhou. When an Changqing was worried about this problem, Zhou Helan, who went to the south, arrived in Yanzhou with a caravan and stopped at the gate of the general's residence.

Earlier, Zhou Helan took people to erqingzhou, Yongzhou and other places in the south to explore the trade routes of jadeite raw stones. An Changqing didn't interfere in the jadeite mine business, so it was Xiao Zhige who wrote to Zhou Helan all these days. Now, when he suddenly saw Zhou Helan coming back with the caravan, he rarely lost his attitude and raised his voice a lot: "Helan?"

Zhou Helan was darker and higher than before he left. His facial features were more and more profound. After two or three months of training in the south, he had the momentum that an Changqing had seen in his last life.

He bowed his hand and saluted: "princess, Helan is lucky to live up to her life."

With a smile on her face, an Changqing asked someone to open the main door of the general's residence to welcome the caravan in. After coming in, Zhou Helan counts the goods first, and an Changqing finds that the goods transported by the caravan are all sweet potatoes.

Seeing that an Changqing was surprised, Zhou Helan explained: "in the previous letter with Wang Ye, it was mentioned in the letter that Yuze sweet potato should be widely planted, but Yanzhou was short of sweet potato seeds, so I asked someone to find a way to get a lot from Yuze."

Sweet potato is not worth money in Yuze. Because of its poor tolerance and high yield, the price of sweet potato has not been able to sell. People in Yuze have grown sweet potato, but it is only used to feed or feed livestock. Therefore, Zhou Helan easily got more than ten cars of sweet potatoes and transported them back to Yanzhou.

An Changqing looked at the trucks of sweet potatoes, and his smile was even bigger unconsciously: "I'm worried about the shortage of sweet potatoes."

Ask the servants to park the carriage carrying sweet potatoes in the garden. An Changqing and Zhou Helan are drinking tea in the front hall. The servants have already gone to the barracks to report to Xiao Zhige. But in a moment, Xiao Zhige comes back with his horse.

Xiao Zhige strides in and sees Zhou Helan's first words: "but there's news?"

Zhou Helan nodded, then held back the caravan guard, leaving behind a middle-aged woman and then said, "yes. It's not convenient to elaborate here. " ,

the four went to the study together, but an Changqing didn't know, so she looked around between Xiao Zhige and Zhou Helan.

Xiao Zhige took the initiative to explain: "previously, I sent a letter to Zhou Helan, asking him to find a way to go to Yuze to inquire about the news of the chimpanzees."

The Prefecture in the south of Daye is adjacent to Yuze. Zhou Helan went to the south to do business, and just had a chance to contact Yuze. In addition, he was loyal to an Changqing, and his only relative was ill in the palace. Xiao Zhige revealed that an Changqing was pregnant and asked him to find out about the chimpanzees in Yuze.

Zhou Helan was ordered to investigate the information, but there has been no progress. But the business of jadeite raw stone is getting bigger and bigger. This time Zhou Helan came back in person. After hearing this, Xiao Zhige knew that there must be a clue to what he had told him, otherwise he would not leave the South stall and return to Yanzhou.

Zhou Helan did find something. He thought it over and said: "before, I tried to disguise myself and went to the territory of Yuze, from the border to Fuliang, the capital city. All the way, I pretended to be a businessman and inquired, but I didn't hear a single word about the shark people..."

Yuze is close to the sea. There are so many legends about the sea. However, Zhou Helan has never heard of any rumors about the chimpanzees. Later, he found a new way and began to pay attention to the news about whether a man had a son or a person with red stripes on his face. However, he didn't want to be crooked. He really told him to find an informed woman.

"This is Mrs. Guo. She is a doctor in her family. Her grandfather once delivered a baby for a man."

Listen to Zhou Helan mentioned himself, Guo Fu talent came forward a little bit restrained to give a salute. She is not tall, plump and mellow, with a simple and honest face. After seeing the other three people looking at her, he said nervously: "yes, I followed my grandfather to practice medicine when I was young. I saw my grandfather deliver a baby for a man with a red pattern like fish scales on his neck."

Xiao Zhige's expression moved, but he restrained his excitement: "does madam know how to deliver a baby? What's the difference between a man and a woman? "

But Mrs. Guo shook her head and said, "I don't know. I was young at that time, and my grandfather didn't let me in. "

Without waiting for Xiao Zhige's face to change, she said, "although I didn't see the process with my own eyes at that time, when I picked up my grandfather's belongings, I found a letter detailing the process of pulse diagnosis during pregnancy and subsequent delivery." Then he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Zhige with a look of uneasiness.After thinking about it, he added: "although the notes in the notes seem strange, they are absolutely not made up. My grandfather was a famous doctor in Fuliang. It's just that I'm not good at medicine. I didn't get my grandfather's biography. "

also remember: on June 5, yesterday, the patient agreed to have a caesarean section to take out the baby. At 3:15 a.m., the patient took mabeisan, and I took out a female fetus with a sharp edge. Unlike ordinary babies, fetuses have a layer of placenta on top of their skin. After two hours, the fetal membranes naturally fall off, and the fetal features are more delicate than ordinary babies, only the body shape and weight are slightly lighter...

Xiao Zhige's eyes are firmly fixed on the four words of caesarean section. After a long time, he closed the letter and said: "the letter is of great use to me. What do you want from my wife? Whatever I can do, I can exchange it with my wife. "

so it is. Xiao Zhige was a little relieved and said, "I'll ask my servant to draw money for my wife first, but I'll find someone else to verify the authenticity of the letter. My wife needs to stay in the house for a few more days. After confirming the authenticity, I will send someone to send my wife back

but the more clearly it is written, the more shocking the process of pregnancy and birth. Perhaps it was an agreement with the patient that Dr. Guo did not mention the patient's name and other information even in his letter. From the description of their first meeting, it can be seen that the patient was alone and in poor health

the atmosphere in the study is a little calm because of what is recorded in the letter. Hu right and wrong rushed to see three people are frowning, a dignified face

with a pause in his heart, he hastily saluted, and in his hand he was stuffed with a letter by Xiao Zhige: "look first, is it true or false?"

"is the letter true or false?" Xiao Zhige asked

"it should be true." Hu said: "many of the methods recorded in the letters can still be used now. But I see his account that the patient's physical condition is not good, so the reaction during pregnancy is very different from that of the princess. The princess is healthy, but there is no need to worry about it. "

in fact, if the records of the chimpanzee race are true, regardless of gender, people with red stripes can have children, then people with red stripes must be different from ordinary people, and they should have another set of reproductive organs. However, he later checked Yu Xiao and found that Yu Xiao was no different from an ordinary boy

now, combined with the description in this letter, his idea is more confirmed. Either the records of the chimpanzees are wrong, or the intermarriage and fusion between the chimpanzees and the foreigners in these years, many of the characteristics of the chimpanzees have gradually degenerated and disappeared

as soon as the words came out, several people were shocked. An Changqing, the first one, frowned at him and said, "Lord?"<

Xiao Zhige didn't follow him this time. He said calmly, "it's too dangerous to take the baby by caesarean section. If there's an emergency... I'd rather not have this child!"In silence, an Changqing didn't know how to answer for a moment. He wants to accompany Xiao Zhige white head, but also reluctant to just come to the child. He has accepted his arrival these days. How can he be willing to poach him again?

"Maybe there are other ways..." An Changqing whispered, "I don't want to give him up."

For the first time, Xiao Zhige spoke harshly to him. He pressed his palm on his shoulder, but his voice said: "if you like children, we can adopt them or adopt them. They are all with you, but we can't risk your life." He certainly looked at an Changqing, voice astringent ran: "children can not, but I can not do without you."

Having tasted the taste of embracing, if he lost him again, just thinking about the possibility, he felt anxious and unbearable.

An Changqing is dumb, palm subconsciously touches abdomen, expression hesitates.

Zhou Helan couldn't bear to say: "the patient is worse than the princess, and she has survived."

But Xiao Zhige firmly shook his head: "I dare not take risks."

An Changqing is more important than his life. How dare he let him take risks?

Several people were silent for a moment, but at last Hu right and wrong said: "actually, it's not a risk. The princess is in good health. It's just a crime to have her son taken by caesarean section, but I'm at least 80% sure I can do it. "

"It's abortion..." Hu shook his head: "I'm not sure. The princess may not be able to use a woman's abortion medicine, but she is afraid that it will backfire

An Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, sipped her lips and held Xiao Zhige's hand. The man's palm was cold, and an Changqing's eyes softened. She said to Hu Shifei and Zhou Helan, "I have something to say to the king. Go and have a rest first."

Hu right and wrong and Zhou Helan salute back out, considerate for them to close the door of the study.

An Changqing was not allowed to stay in his study. He shook Xiao Zhige's hand and said with a smile, "I'm a little tired. Will the Lord carry me back to my room?"

Xiao Zhige is calm and silent, but under his gaze, he squats down to make it easy for him to lie on his back.

An Changqing put her arms around his neck, her front chest was close to his back, and her chin was gently on his shoulder. They didn't speak. The man picked him up steadily and walked steadily towards the main room.
