Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 258 - 255: The Married Daughter Comes Seeking Help
"Village Lady Le’an, why is this pastry so fluffy? What is this soft, cloud-like thing on top?" The second lady of the Zhang Family held a cream cupcake and ca to consult Lin Wanwan.
This snack is just too delicious, far more appealing than osmanthus cake or glutinous rice cake.
In fact, the modern cake texture is comparable to ancient Great Tang pastries, but it’s mainly because it’s fresh and unfamiliar, adding to the psychological effects for the second lady of the Zhang Family.
The people of Great Tang City just love chasing trends.
Lin Wanwan laughed and said, "I made this myself; I like making delicious pastries for myself during my free ti. Second Lady Zhang, if you like it, eat more; there’s plenty!"
"Oh, Village Lady Le’an, your hands are truly skillful."
"Indeed, Village Lady, how do you make this? The texture is superb."
The ladies surrounded Lin Wanwan, chatting animatedly.
Various cream cakes, tiramisu, Pao Fu, milk toast, etc., have not only been highly praised among the noble ladies of Mao County but have also caused a stir among the children.
The knowledgeable Qingyu has again beco the brightest kid on the hill, as she observes the city children with both hands full of assorted cakes, crumbs all over her mouth.
The little ones huddled on the long bench, their little feet swinging back and forth, cheeks bulging like little hamsters.
"Huh, these city noble kids are just like this. I thought they’d be the type to eat a piece and toss a piece away!" Lin Tiezhu wiped his mouth cautiously, eating his portion carefully.
Unlike those invited noble children, they couldn’t eat as they pleased. Before coming up the mountain today, their parents had warned them repeatedly not to eat indiscriminately and ruin the food Teacher Lin has prepared for the guests.
Teacher Lin said they’re going on a spring outing today with packed als, so they must be sensible and not embarrass him.
However, it seems they’re not the embarrassing ones. Look at these city hillbillies, never seen cake before, gobbling them up like little mice; they’re doing even worse.
At least they occasionally get rewarded with a piece of cake during school dismissals.
Not only cake, but even the fruits Teacher Lin put out were t with the city kids’ amazed expressions. Hmph, noble families aren’t much after all.
The children of Lin Family Manor ate their share while silently mocking them.
Once the awe of noble children dissipated, the group of kids mingled and ended up having a great ti.
Heng Wu brought out her harp today and perford a lody in the pavilion, instantly captivating everyone.
Though female musicians are not uncommon, a female musician playing the harp so skillfully and looking so otherworldly is rare.
Such a talented and beautiful lady being in Le’an Village Lady’s household rather than part of so man’s harem is truly uncommon.
Great Tang people are famously fond of music, so Heng Wu’s harp skills naturally won great admiration among the noblewon.
Everyone joined in playing tunes, dancing, tossing arrows, playing drinking gas, and enjoying fruits, cakes, and so wine—all with great gusto.
Lin Wanwan saw her spring outing event was such a success, and she was quite pleased. It was her party today, so she didn’t recite poetry to steal the spotlight from her guests, leaving so room for Li Du.
Ever since she could travel through ti, she started reading crossover novels on Qidian and found that many crossover enthusiasts, like her, copied poems and were criticized by readers.
So Lin Wanwan decided to avoid copying as much as possible in the future to avoid criticism.
While everyone was having fun, suddenly a sweaty and frantic person rushed down the mountain path—it was Lin ngxing, newly engaged.
When Lin Wanwan saw him anxiously coming directly towards her, she knew there was definitely an urgent matter.
"What happened?" Lin Wanwan approached Lin ngxing and asked, "Is there sothing urgent?"
"Wan... Wanwan Lady... help... save..." Lin ngxing was out of breath from running.
Lin Wanwan calmly said, "Don’t rush, catch your breath and tell properly. What rescue? What happened?"
Lin ngxing stood and panted for a while, speaking incoherently, clearly genuinely anxious.
Fortunately, Lin Wanwan understood him—a summary: His married-out sister Lin Juhua was having childbirth complications, had been in labor for a full day and night without delivering, and the midwives were already asking if they should save the mother or the child.
For the groom’s family, this was indeed a great issue!
Their family had barely managed together to marry an in-law, had only birthed a daughter, and now it might fail. No matter if they abandoned the mother or the child, it would be an enormous loss.
If this original spouse were lost, with their family’s power, they would find it difficult to remarry. How could a robust twenty-two-year-old man be without a wife in the future?
So, they thought of seeking help from Lin Wanwan, the famous "Divine Doctor" from the bride’s family widely known in the area; family mbers couldn’t refuse a cry for help, and had sent the youngest son of the family cross-country to report the situation and ask for aid.
Lin ngxing’s family beca distressed upon hearing the news, knowing that lives were at stake. After consulting the Lin Clan Leader, Lin ngxing imdiately rushed up the spring outing mountain.
After hearing the news, Lin Wanwan didn’t dare delay and imdiately agreed to go ho, get her dical kit, and save lives.
Although Lin Wanwan was fully aware of her limits, having only learned dicine for half a month under Immortal Sun, mainly through the Barefoot Doctor Manual and instructional videos, her skills really didn’t justify the title of "Divine Doctor."
Now she had no choice but to take on the challenge.
For safety, Lin Wanwan rode her horse ho and sent Sun Chuyao carrying her letter of introduction to county governnt to seek help from Xiao Chong, where Mao County’s best doctors were available.
Though they couldn’t save Xiao Chong last ti, it was because Xiao Chong’s illness was acute and severe; doctors are human, not gods, and have their limits.
They were after all a group who had studied dicine since childhood, possessing genuine dical skills. Especially Chen Liang, who studied acupuncture under famous doctor Zhen Quan, had true ability and needed to be invited.
Apologizing to the noble ladies, Lin Wanwan rushed down the mountain to head ho.
Arriving at the clan, she discovered many people gathered around Lin ngxing’s house because of the news.
Lin Juhua was the direct cousin of Lin ngbo and Lin ngjin, and there was genuine affection there. Hearing of her hardship, everyone was very anxious.
Seeing Lin Wanwan arrive on horseback, everyone rushed forward as if her appearance could bring miracles, truly treating her as a savior.
But Lin Wanwan wasn’t confident! If she could bring people through the Space-Ti Gate, she would’ve considered going to a modern hospital for a Cesarean section if necessary, but the Space-Ti Gate couldn’t transport others.
Even without strong assurance, Lin Wanwan wasn’t flustered. Taking the dicine kit and accompanied by the maid Hua Nong, she followed Lin Juhua’s younger uncle on the road.
Lin Juhua married in East Lake Village, which was super far going by the main road; even on horseback, it would take one or two hours, but mountain-crossing would only take half an hour.
Saving lives like fighting fire, Lin Wanwan, of course, chose to cross the mountain path.
