Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 2980 like a fish in water

  When they arrived in the garden, everyone was more at ease, and everyone spoke directly around the princess.

  Mingda was always surrounded by people when she was in the capital, but it was the first time she was surrounded by people so close to talk, she couldn't help but look at Man Bao.

  Man Bao was very happy, so she could feel chattering. It just so happened that she still had a lot to say to everyone. The crowding together made her feel like chatting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of Qili Village.

  What topics can a group of women talk about together?

  Of course, in addition to men and children, there are also things like marriage.

Mrs. Song asked the princess, "Does the princess have children? How many children do they have?"

  In fact, she wanted to ask, she’s traveling with her horse and coming to such a far place, wouldn’t it hurt to leave the child at home?

  Mingda: "...I haven't given birth yet."

Mrs. Song gave Zhou Man a subconscious glance.

   Zhou Man met her gaze, blinked, and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Mrs. Song smiled awkwardly, and said hurriedly: “It’s nothing, but it’s a coincidence. Like the princess, Lord Zhou has no children yet.”

  Zhou Man's spirits refreshed, and she was thinking about how to bring up this topic. Mrs. Song handed over the pillow, and she immediately caught it, "Me and the princess intentionally."

   "Huh?" This was a development that Mrs. Song and others had never expected, and she was stunned for a while.

   Zhou Man said: "We are still young, and the woman is pregnant too early, which is not only a hindrance to our own body, but also to the health of the child, so we deliberately do not rush to have a child."

  Mingda glanced at Zhou Man and nodded at the crowd.

  Mrs. Song looked tangled, "Should the children ask for it sooner?"

   "Parents are young, and the children born will be weaker than the children born as adults, and more likely to die," Zhou Man said: "Just look at the birth of the couple around you."

  She and the Imperial Medical Office have done relevant statistics. Although only the data from Beijing is used, combined with medical knowledge, it is certainly applicable in Qingzhou.

"The same couple, the children born at the age of 14 or 15 are compared with the children born at the age of 18 or 9. Of course, the data cannot be accurate if there is only one couple. After all, there are always exceptions, so we will count many couples. "Zhou Man said: "The good statistics are that the rate of death and the probability of children getting sick at the age of fourteen or five is much higher than that of children born after the age of eighteen or nineteen."

  The ladies were stunned, and couldn’t help but say: "You didn’t have a baby until the eighteenth, so how many fewer children would you have?"

   Zhouman: "...Does your family lack children?"

   "Lack!"

   "Then how many births have your family now?"

   "Master Zhou, I have three sons." The other person looked proud.

   Zhou Man looked at her up and down, smiled and asked, "How old are you this year?"

   "I am already twenty-three years old."

   Zhou Man: "How old were you married?"

   "Fourteen."

   Zhou Man asked, "Then how many children did you have in total?"

  The other party smiled, "Why the adults forgot, I just said that I have three sons."

   Zhou Man shook his head, "You can't have only three sons. I asked how many children have you had, how many have you had?"

  The other party was taken aback, and it took a long time before he arrived: "I'm pregnant with seven, one of them had a miscarriage before they were born, and three of them died prematurely."

   Zhou Man sighed: "The mortality rate has been broken by half. This is not just a problem of early childbirth. If you don't mind, you can see me in the medical office tomorrow."

   Then she raised her head and said to everyone: "Being a child too early, the child is weaker and easy to die."

  Some people questioned, "Isn’t it because you don’t eat and drink well? If it's a good miscarriage..."

   Zhou Man shook his head, “A good pregnancy can naturally increase fertility and survival, but the root cause of this is still early marriage and early childbirth.”

  She said: "It is written in the "Huangdi Neijing" that whether it is a man or a woman, it should be an adult before giving birth to offspring."

  Mrs. Song immediately said: "Women's 15th birthday..."

Zhou Man shook his head directly, "The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine does not recognize this. He believes that whether it is a man or a woman, adulthood is after 20. The man is full of kidney qi at the age of 24, while the woman is at the age of 21. The development of kidney qi is balanced, and the best offspring are conceived at this time."

"Of course, we can't follow the "Huangdi Nei Jing" all at the moment. After all, there are too many things in the world, but it should be advanced, and it should not be advanced too much," Zhou Man said: "The man's kidney qi only started when he was sixteen. It is vigorous and has the ability to reproduce, and a woman only starts around the age of fourteen, which is equivalent to the fact that the flower stalks have just fallen, and they have just produced fruit. If you want the fruit to give birth to seeds, don't you have to wait for a while?"

  Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't understand the kidney qi but they didn't understand it, but they did.

  "When the melons bear fruit, they want to pick and dig out the seeds. Can the dug out seeds be good seeds?"

  Everyone shook their heads. Someone who is good at farming even said, "Isn't that kind of seed can't breed, right?"

Zhou Man immediately clapped his hands and happily said, "That's right, otherwise, why would the descendants have various problems? An ancestor can give birth to ten or eight children, but only two or three can be born when they wait, and some can't even give birth? "

  Someone has a tight heart and a chill in their back. They are afraid to hear, but can't help but listen, "Why?"

"It's because their parents were picked off before they were ripe, and they were born when they weren't particularly healthy." Zhou Man said: "This person has the same birth as growing melons and beans. When it bears fruit, Leave it for a while, even if you can't wait for it to fully mature, wait until it's almost ripe before picking it."

"People are the same, so men should get married after the age of sixteen and before the age of twenty-four. The median value should be around the age of twenty. The same is true for women. Before the age of eleven, if you take the median value, it should be between the ages of seventeen and eighteen. If we rush late or early, we will be considered as 18 years old. At this time, the children born are healthier, which is more effective for men and women. Also has the best body."

  Everyone was dumbfounded, and it took a long time for someone to react, "Really?"

   "Of course it is true," Zhou Man said, "I only married after I was eighteen."

  Mingda immediately said: "This palace is also."

   Zhou Man blew again, "Princess Changyu is even later. It is because your majesty and empress love the princess so much that she wants them to be healthy and safe before staying so late."

  She continued the topic, "Do you know what determines the lifespan of a person?"

  Everyone shook their heads together, and hesitated: "It's made by heaven?"

   Zhouman: "...the blood is fixed."

"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic has a saying, ten years old, the five internal organs are set, the blood qi has been ventilated, and its qi is down, so it is easy to walk. That is to say, the root of human growth lies in the essence of the kidney, and the essence is from bottom to top. That’s why ten-year-old children can run. Aging is also due to the decline of qi and blood. If we can ensure full energy, we can live a long life without showing aging." Man Bao said to the lady: "Sister, you are better than me." It’s only two years older."
