Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"See ma'am!"

In the Fan Mansion, the servants all said respectfully when they saw Ma.

Ever since Mrs. Ma was promoted from concubine to head wife by official decree, everyone understood that the Mrs. Fan of yesterday and the Mrs. Fan of today have completely different meanings.

Before that, the Fan family called Mrs. Ma more of an honorific title. However, everyone knew from the bottom of their hearts that Mrs. Ma was just a concubine of the Fan family, and there was no difference between her status and that of a servant.

Although Ma was appointed by Fan Chunli to take charge of the Fan family's inner house, it was Fan Chunli's order, and he also withdrew it with one word. Later, with the rise of Fan Zheng, Ma was increasingly respected both inside and outside the Fan family.

But now the Ma family can be regarded as the real mistress of the Fan family, both in name and in fact.

"Okay, let's all get busy!" Ma said with a kind face.

Today, Fan's mansion is full of laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Even if a servant in the family makes a mistake, although Ma has a good temper, he will still scold him, but now he will just wave his hand and let him go.

What she usually loves most is holding her grandson in her arms, showing off to her good friends’ wives with pride, and smiling from ear to ear. The effect of intergenerational kinship is vividly displayed on her.

However, today, not long after Ma left, he came in with Fan Zhi in his arms, who was crying loudly, and pointed at Fan Zheng and scolded him.

"You traitor!"

"Mother, why did the child offend you again?" Fan Zheng asked in confusion. His mother had just come back in a good mood, so why did she suddenly scold him again.

Ma angrily put Fan Zhi, who was crying, into Fan Zheng's arms, and snorted coldly: "Look at the good things you have done!"

Fan Zheng comforted his crying son and said disapprovingly: "Mom, it's normal for children to cry, and they are not sick!"

With Fan Zheng's medical skills, he easily diagnosed that his son was currently very healthy and had no disease.

However, after Fan Zheng coaxed him for a long time, he found that Fan Zhi was still distressed, which puzzled Fan Zheng greatly.

"You're not sick, you're hungry." Ma said angrily. The child couldn't speak. Once he was hungry, he could only cry.

"Hungry? Then breastfeed!" Fan Zheng said confused.

At that moment, Fan Zheng handed Fan Zhi to Li Qingzhao. In this era, the infant mortality rate was very high. Doctors advocated breastfeeding, and the Fan family naturally followed this practice. Li Qingzhao fed Fan Zhi himself.

Li Qingzhao lowered his head and said with a blushing face: "I have just fed you, and I don't have much milk left."

"You're still hungry after feeding?" Fan Zheng couldn't help but be stunned. His eyes couldn't help but wander back and forth between Li Qingzhao and his son. He didn't know whether his son was able to eat, or whether Li Qingzhao was poor!

"You're still looking around, please be careful in the future." Ma grabbed Fan Zheng's ear and said bitterly.

"what!"

Fan Zheng suddenly realized that it was his mother who suspected that he had stolen his son's food rations.

When Li Qingzhao heard this, his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. He didn't know how to explain it and could only lower his head helplessly. This further confirmed Ma's suspicion.

"My mother taught me a lesson! The child will not dare to do it next time."

Fan Zheng quickly admitted his mistake and came to Li Qingzhao's rescue.

Ma finally let Fan Zheng go and said bitterly: "Why don't you coax her quickly and find a wet nurse for your mother?"

Although breastfeeding is the best for babies, now Li Qingzhao can't supply Zhao Zhi at all, so he has to find another wet nurse. However, he can't find one for a while, so Fan Zhi can't be left hungry all the time!

"Mom, wait a minute! We can't find this wet nurse," Fan Zheng quickly stopped Ma and persuaded her.

"Why?" Ma frowned.

Fan Zheng explained. "It is best to breastfeed the baby not only because the mother and child are of the same mind, but also because the mother and child are one body and will not be infected by various sources of disease. After all, the wet nurse is an outsider and is not one with the child. In addition, she often goes out to the outside world, and it is easy to Bringing in external sources of disease and causing cross-infection is not good for straight children.”

"Then what should we do? We can't let Zhi'er go hungry! Besides, Zhi'er can't eat complementary food now." Ma said worriedly.

The so-called kiss of another generation, Ma finally had a grandson, so she naturally didn't want her grandson to go hungry. If Fan Zhi was older, he could still eat some complementary food, but now the only way to go is to breastfeed.

Li Qingzhao reminded in a low voice: "Instead of hiring wet nurses, people will drink cow's milk and goat's milk to raise their children."

For the sake of Fan Zhi, Li Qingzhao gained a lot of knowledge about child care, and also had some experience in raising children among the people.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Whether we hire a wet nurse or use cow's milk or goat's milk, we can't escape one difficulty, that is, infection with various sources of disease will cause danger to the babies, and even many babies will die in infancy. There are so many reasons. "

"This is happening!" Ma was suddenly shocked.

It was not easy for the Fan family to have a grandson. If he had been frail and sick since he was young, he might not be able to take care of himself if he had a father who was an evil doctor.

Lian'er on the side suggested: "My uncle is afraid that the source of the disease will harm the young master, so why not use high-temperature sterilization to boil the milk like Lian'er makes ice cream?"

Fan Zheng nodded slightly and said: "This is indeed a method. However, once the milk is boiled, the nutrients inside will be destroyed. Although it can feed the baby, it is not as good as real breast milk."

Li Qingzhao sighed: "It would be great if there is a way. How can we worry so much? Let's feed Zhi'er first. At worst, I can just eat more in the future."

For the sake of the child, Li Qingzhao no longer cared about his figure at this moment, and decided to gain weight in order to produce more breast-feeding food.

"No! Maybe there is a way to get the best of both worlds."

Fan Zheng's heart moved, and he thought of the famous pasteurization method for milk in later generations.

This time, he will also perform Fan's disinfection method.

"The best of both worlds? Don't make any mistakes!" Ma's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly warned Fan Zheng.

"Don't worry, mother, the child will not harm Zhi'er. Lian'er, go get some fresh milk! I'll be of great use." Fan Zheng immediately ordered.

"Yes! Uncle!"

In order to make ice cream, Lian'er raised a lot of cows. Now that ice cream is unsaleable in winter, there is already a large amount of milk left. Soon, Lian'er got a large can of fresh milk.

At this moment, Fan Zheng took the fresh milk, poured it into a glass, closed the lid, and began to heat it over low heat.

At that moment, a faint milky fragrance filled the whole room. Fan Zhi smelled the smell and hurriedly looked around.

Li Qingzhao sighed helplessly upon seeing this, thinking that Fan Zheng still chose the high-temperature sterilization method to make milk.

Although high-temperature sterilized milk loses a lot of nutrients, it is safer and can supply Zhi'er in large quantities to keep him full. This is already the best solution at the moment.

However, Fan Zheng did not increase the intensity of the fire, but kept the milk at a higher temperature without letting it boil.

"Master, why is this happening?" Lian'er asked in confusion. This is completely different from Fan Zheng's usual high-temperature disinfection method. What if the disinfection is not thorough and the young master gets sick?

Even Li Qingzhao and Ma Shi frowned and looked at Fan Zheng in confusion, but they believed that Fan Zheng would definitely not do anything harmful to Zhi'er.
