Chen Caozhi heard his sister-in-law Ding Youwei say in surprise in the bedroom: "Young man? Ah, please wait a moment before coming in."
When Yu Yan saw Chen Caozhi looking at her questioningly, she lowered her voice and said: "Madam just drank a bowl of bean porridge, but she vomited it all. Please wait a moment. Madam loves to be clean and is afraid of being seen."
Like that."
Chen Caozhi couldn't help but feel sad, nodded, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, Chunqiu and I will sit in the study for a while. Don't worry."
Yu Yan said: "My maid has to go get hot water, so I can't serve the two young gentlemen anymore."
Ding Chunqiu said: "You can just go. Zi Zhong and I will go to the study to talk."
Chen Caozhi and Ding Chunqiu came to Ding Youwei's study. The desk was neatly decorated with pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Chen Caozhi's copy of Wei Huan's "Four-Body Calligraphy" was on the desk. Zuo Bo also had Ding Youwei's copy of "Cao Quan Stele" on the desk.
》A Yuefu poem copied from official script——
"The bright moon is so bright that it shines on my bed.
I can't sleep due to sadness, so I pick up my clothes and wander around.
Although it is a pleasant trip, it is better to return home early.
Who should I complain to when I am alone and wandering away from home?
He led me back into the room, staining my clothes with tears."
Ding Chunqiu was a little embarrassed after seeing this poem, and said to Chen Cao: "The third sister usually lives alone behind closed doors and has little contact with the female family members of the clan, so I don't even know that I am sick. Axiu and Yuyan
You are a stupid servant who didn’t report it to my father earlier!”
Chen Caozhi said in his heart: "The main reason for the lack of contact is probably because you Ding clan members blame my sister-in-law for being unkind. In your eyes, my sister-in-law should never marry my brother. My sister-in-law is here."
There is no such thing as "a happy trip"!" He said in a calm tone: "My sister-in-law's stomachache lasted for more than a day or two." He didn't talk to Ding Chunqiu about his sister-in-law anymore, and only talked about Wu.
When it comes to studying in the county, Ding Chunqiu is just a young nobleman. Although he has some friendship with him now, it is far from being a heart-to-heart relationship.
About half an hour later, Ding Youwei came to the study. Her plain skirt was clean, her complexion was as snowy, and she didn't look sick except that she had lost some weight. She sat across from Chen Caozhi and Ding Chunqiu, and said with a smile: "
I understand, Xiao Lang came to the county to participate in the birthday celebration of Emperor Tianguan, right? It happened to be the Spring and Autumn Festival? I have asked Axiu to tell the kitchen to prepare an extra lunch for two people. Xiao Lang has a big appetite.
"
Chen Caozhi looked into his sister-in-law's eyes, barely able to see the sadness hidden under this beautiful face, and said: "Sister-in-law, I just met Ding Sheren, the father of Spring and Autumn Period, and Ding Sheren agreed to let Zongzhi and Run'er come.
I’ll visit you and stay with you for three days.”
Ding Youwei was overjoyed at first, and then said in surprise: "No, I'm just ill, why bother letting Auntie know about it and worry me."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I told Laifu to pick up Zongzhi and run children not to say that my sister-in-law is unwell."
Ding Chunqiu said: "Zizhong is very careful."
Ding You breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Chen Caozhi, and said: "It's really a minor illness. I've had stomach pain for several years. This time it's a bit more severe. My stomach is cold and sour. I'll be fine when the weather gets warmer. Fuck it."
You don’t have to worry either.”
Chen Cao said: "My sister-in-law once told me that if I catch a cold when I go out, I should consult a doctor immediately. Why does my sister-in-law not take it so seriously?"
Ding Youwei was flustered by Xiaolang's question and defended feebly: "It will really be fine in a few days. This is not the first time. My sister-in-law knows it well."
Ding Chunqiu said: "If you are sick, you should delay medical treatment. Dad has already sent someone to ask for the doctor under the Young Mansion. Third sister will give her a good treatment and completely cure the stomach disease that she has suffered for many years."
Chen Cao said: "Sister-in-law, the Shaofu doctor hasn't arrived yet. Let me take your pulse first and then confirm it with the Shaofu doctor?"
Ding Youwei raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Can you take your pulse?"
Ding Chunqiu smiled and said: "Third sister, you have forgotten that Zizhong is a disciple of Ge Zhichuan. In Wu County, Zizhong cured the heartache of the great painter Wei Xie. By the way, Zizhong also treated the daughter of Governor Lu."
Ding Youwei was as careful as a hair, and noticed that Xiaolang's face seemed to turn red when Chunqiu mentioned Lu's daughter. His sensitive heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Really, can you hang a pot to save people? Well, let's give it to my sister-in-law."
Take your pulse." Frankly stretched out his right hand and lifted up his sleeve. His wrist was white, the ridged wrist bones were delicate and slender, and the blue veins were clear——
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "I studied with Master Ge for a short period of time. Now Master Ge has gone to Luofu Mountain. I studied by myself by reading the medical books left by Master Ge. I have not read the ten volumes of "Pulse Classic".
After all, you can’t even be considered a quack.” As he said that, he placed three fingers of his right hand on the cleft of his sister-in-law’s right wrist, feeling a slight chill on his fingertips, as if he were touching cold jade——
Cunkou is the pulse of Taiyin and Lung Meridian of Hand, where all the pulses of the five internal organs and six internal organs converge. It is also called Cunmai. From this, we can understand the Qi and blood conditions of the internal organs and meridians of the whole body. As for Guanmai and Chimeri, Chen Caozhi has not yet begun to study.
Chen Cao said: "Sister-in-law, please relax, adjust your breathing, and wait for me to check slowly." He also said: "In Chenjiawu, I often practice taking people's pulses. Run'er likes to follow suit, and now he can't do it at all.
It’s funny to check Zongzhi and Ran Sheng’s pulse.”
Ding You smiled and quickly pursed his lips again, thinking that he would be able to see those lovely children again tomorrow. He felt very happy and felt that his stomachache was better.
Chen Caozhi closed his eyes and carefully checked his sister-in-law's pulse. After a while, he opened his eyes and said: "The pulse is floating and weak, which is a sign of blood deficiency; sometimes the pulse is slippery, and the spleen and stomach are cold - wait and see the Shaofu doctor."
How to say."
Ding Chunqiu found it very interesting and stood up and said, "I'm going to see if the Shaofu doctor is here?"
After Ding Chunqiu left, Ding Youwei chatted with Chen Caozhi for a while. Although Zongzhi and Run'er could be seen tomorrow, as a mother, she always asked endless questions about trivial matters about her children. Chen Caozhi's answers were concise, humorous and sparse.
In a few words, Zongzhi's youthful caution and Runer's intelligence and cunning were brought to life from a small incident. Ding You pursed his lips and smiled, while Axiu and Yuyan were not so reserved and laughed continuously.
Chen Caozhi was talking about the interesting things about his nephew and niece, and suddenly remembered something important. He forgot to speak for a moment, stared into space, and thought deeply——
Yu Yan was listening with interest. Seeing Chen Caozhi's lost look, she wanted to ask. Ding Youwei waved her hand to silence her. After a while, she saw a smile on Chen Caozhi's lips and asked, "Xiao Lang remembered
What's the good thing?"
Chen Caozhi was waiting for an answer when Ding Chunqiu's voice came up from downstairs: "Third Sister, Zizhong, Dr. Qin from the Young Master's Office is here."
Chen Caozhi said casually: "I'll tell my sister-in-law in detail later."
Dr. Qin was in his fifties. He was originally a folk witch doctor. He was later incorporated into the staff of the Wu County Shaofu Supervisor and received a salary. He carefully took Ding Youwei's pulse and said, "Ms. Ding's slippery pulse is caused by excessive worry.
If the Qi is not smooth, the blood is deficient and the limbs are cold, the little doctor has a recipe that can cure the lady's illness." After that, he wrote in handwriting:
"A square inch of green cloth, three-quarters of antlers, two qian daggers of gray hair, boil it with two liters of water, and make one liter of five pieces, remove the residue, and take it all - once every three days, it will be cured in ten months."
Ding Chunqiu ordered the steward to pay the consultation fee and send Dr. Qin out. He smiled and said, "Zizhong, your pulse is quite accurate. What do you think of this prescription? Is it appropriate?"
Chen Cao said: "It's green cloth and messy gray hair. It feels a bit strange——"
Ding Youwei let out a slight "uh", quickly covered his mouth, shook his head and said: "Thinking of gray hair makes me want to vomit."
Chen Cao said: "I also have a recipe, which is the best for warming the stomach and replenishing qi, and it doesn't have these strange things." He immediately wrote down a recipe of ginseng, hawthorn, atractylodes, poria, lotus seeds, and yam, and cooked it in a clay bowl over a slow fire.
Drink it as tea every day for half an hour. It will take effect in half a month and can be taken for a long time.
This prescription is not found in "Emergency Prescriptions". It is Chen Cao's memory from his previous life. It is a very common and effective prescription for treating stomach cold.
Ding You was slightly happy and said: "Xiao Lang's recipe is good, just use this recipe to cook the medicine."
