After dawn the next day, Lin Wanwan could not get out of bed.
Starting in the middle of the night yesterday, she felt sore all over and had a high fever. She took her own temperature and took Motrin antipyretics. More than six hours had passed and her fever came back again.
Western medicine often says that doctors do not heal themselves, but Chinese medicine can heal themselves.
For example, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, once prescribed Xuanming boiled powder for himself due to a stroke in his later years. He dictated the prescription and asked his disciples to take the medicine and decoct it. After ten days, he prescribed it to himself.
Later, this prescription was passed down, and thousands of years later, the old Chinese doctor Li Ke also used this prescription to save himself several times.
So Lin Wanwan also diagnosed herself this time, and the diagnosis result was that she had caught a cold and was frightened.
Last night she danced and played in the wind. Normally, her physical fitness was fine, but she encountered Xiao Chong causing trouble, which made Lin Wanwan so confused that wind evil entered her body.
In short - a bad cold!
Traditional Chinese medicine is good at treating colds, and there is relevant knowledge in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". It was just because it was too troublesome to ask the servants to boil the medicine for herself in the middle of the night, so she chose to take a pill of antipyretic medicine first.
I have to say that compared to traditional Chinese medicine, which requires suffering, Western medicine is really convenient in this regard.
But reducing the fever only suppresses the superficial symptoms and does not solve the internal symptoms. So after dawn, Lin Wanwan dictated the recipe to Hongxiu and asked her to boil the medicine for herself to drink.
Hongxiu was Xiao Yixun's former slave. She had a large red birthmark on her face. She got to know many herbal medicines from Xiao Yixun and the former Miao witch.
Now she works as a pharmacy manager in Lin Wanwan's house, traveling back and forth between Lin Wanwan's house in Linjiazhuang and Xiaoxi Town.
Lin Wanwan is not afraid of Hongxiu messing around. She can tell whether the medicine is right or wrong after drinking it, and the dregs of the medicine will be used for her purposes soon. She is not afraid of anyone causing trouble, not to mention that there is Xiao Yixun, a master of poisoning in the house.
The pressure is on.
Although Lin Wanwan took the medicine, her whole body was still sore and she didn't want to get up at all.
Fortunately, after the Lantern Festival, little Qingyu was sent to the Wang family next door to go to school, and no one came to disturb her.
She was so sick that she suddenly felt a gaze staring at her from the bedside. She suddenly opened her eyes and was startled by Xiao Yixun, a girl in white standing beside the bed.
"Why are you standing here? You scare me to death!"
Xiao Yixun actually came in for a while.
Lin Wanwan usually slept with the door bolted, but today because she was ill, in order to facilitate the maids to enter and exit the room to take care of her, she opened the door but did not close it when she took her temperature and took her pulse in the morning.
Only then did Xiao Yixun, who lived in the suite next door, enter the room quietly.
This snow-white girl didn't know what kind of smoking she had. She stood in front of Lin Wanwan's bed and looked at her without saying a word. She would scare even the faint of heart into giving her a heart attack.
Hearing Lin Wanwan ask her, she asked in a nonsensical manner: "What did you do with Xiao yesterday?"
It turned out that the scene when Xiao Chong sent Lin Wanwan home yesterday was completely seen by this girl who had been standing silently in the dark waiting for Lin Wanwan to come home.
When Lin Wanwan went out, she took two maids and a Kunlun slave with her. When she came back, none of them followed her, and Xiao Chong's bay-red horse Zhui Feng entered the house.
This is not right!
Xiao Yixun, who had always paid the most attention to Lin Wanwan, saw it immediately.
That's why she stood beside Lin Wanwan's bed today. If she didn't ask what she wanted to ask, she would feel uncomfortable for a long time.
Lin Wanwan was ill today and had a high fever that made her whole body uncomfortable. She really didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Yixun's temper, so she just said: "I'm thirsty, go and wash some fruits for me."
Lin Wanwan now has many ways to deal with the arrogant and eccentric Xiao Yixun. Directly assigning her to work for her is one of the most economical and cost-effective ways.
After hearing Lin Wanwan's words, Xiao Yixun only hesitated for a moment before going down.
Not long after, when Xiao Yixun was about to go upstairs with the freshly washed cherries, he saw Xiao Chong striding in the courtyard again.
So Xiao Yixun stood in the corner silently, watching what he was going to do.
Yun Shang and other servants had already greeted him and saluted him. Not to mention Xiao Chong's identity as magistrate, he was also a guest of Lin's house just because he was his cousin.
"Where is your wife? Why don't you see her?"
Normally at this hour, Lin Wanwan would have been sitting in the lobby reading medical books or practicing acupuncture.
"Go back to Xiao Ming Mansion. Madam, she caught a cold last night and is lying down to rest. Please ask the slave of Xiao Ming Mansion to go back and report to Madam."
"No need to tell me, is my cousin seriously ill?"
"My wife said she contracted a cold and has taken medicine. It's no big deal."
Xiao Chong frowned slightly: "Did she prescribe it to herself?"
"yes."
Xiao Chong looked in the direction of Lin Wanwan's room and was silent for a moment, then ordered: "Take good care of your wife."
"Here!"
After Xiao Chong turned around and left, Xiao Yixun showed a subtle smile, turned around and went to Lin Wanwan's room to give her fruit.
Xiao Yixun could feel Xiao Chong's low mood when he left. If he was unhappy, she would be happy.
Lin Wanwan was so weak from the fever that she didn't know what the girl who came in after washing a plate of cherries was enjoying, with a smile on her lips.
Did she develop a new personality?
Forget it and ignore her, Lin Wanwan stretched out her hand from under the quilt, waved her hand feebly and said: "I want to rest. Yi Xun, please go out and close the door for me. Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do."
Xiao Yixun didn't say much, put down the plate with cherries and left. As for the question just now, Lin Wanwan refused to answer, so she would ask it next time. Anyway, the most abundant thing Xiao Yixun had was time.
After a while, Dr. Chen Liang, who was affiliated with the county government, came to ask for a consultation. Needless to say, it must have been arranged by Xiao Chong.
When Yun Shang came to report, Lin Wanwan asked: "Did your cousin come just now?"
"Yes, Madam, because we knew that Madam was ill, the Xiao Ming Mansion wouldn't let us report, so we left as soon as we came."
Lin Wanwan nodded: "Bring Dr. Chen in. Now that he's here, let him diagnose my pulse."
"Here!"
Yun Shang and Hong Yan tacitly stepped forward to put down Lin Wanwan's bed curtain together, then one stayed in front of the bed curtain, and the other left to bring the doctor in.
Not seeing Xiao Chong, Lin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little disappointed at the same time.
People in ancient times had a lot of rules. Even if they did what they did yesterday and found out that they were sick, Xiao Chong did not enter her boudoir to see her. If the personnel were the same in modern times, he would definitely stay to take care of the patient.
!
Lin Wanwan didn't know whether she wanted him to come in to visit her, and she was conflicted.
Before she could think about it for too long, Chen Liang came in.
Lin Wanwan is actually very familiar with Chen Liang, and she learned most of her acupuncture techniques from him. He studied under Zhen Quan, who is considered a famous master.
At this time, Chen Liang walked into the room without squinting, sat on the crescent moon stool in front of the bed tent, took out a silk handkerchief and said: "Lin Le'an, please stretch out your wrist and let me make a diagnosis."
Thank you to those who voted and rewarded me. I am writing late today. The second update will be later.
