Eunuch Chen still has the same smiling face, but his waist is bent lower and his neck is stretched forward. Although it is winter, there is already a lot of oily sweat on his forehead, and he is full of wrinkles.
, just like a smiling Buddha.
He had just entered the door with one foot, and before he had time to put the other leg in, he had already opened his sleeves and saluted, and said with a smile in a high-pitched voice: "I'm here to greet Ji Changzai again!".
Ji Ling caught up with him in a few steps, helped him up with both hands, and said with a bit of complaint: "Eunuch Chen! You are an old man in the service room. If anything happens, just ask the eunuch to inform him. Look.
If you run like this one time after another, if you are not tired, my little west side yard can't bear it!"
Xiao Fenzi was still kneeling on the ground just now. When he looked up and saw Ji Ling waving his hand to him, he immediately got up and stepped forward to help Eunuch Chen.
Eunuch Chen stretched out his belly, stretched out his left hand to the apprentice beside him, stood firm, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's better to run more! It's better to run more! This slave has reached his old age. If he doesn't move any more, he will only
I’m afraid we’ll have to stay together!”.
Ji Ling followed him to the front hall and said to Qixi: "Hurry and prepare tea for Eunuch Chen!".
Eunuch Chen smiled happily and pointed to a few people following behind him: "The old servant came to congratulate Chang Zai. Today, the servant was going to present a sign in front of the emperor. But the emperor thought of Chang Zai, so he personally told the servant to hurry up.
Bring the imperial physician to give Chang Zai a safe pulse."
Ji Ling looked behind him and saw that there was indeed a man who looked like an imperial physician. He was in his forties and had a fair complexion. He just kept his head lowered. At this time, when he heard Eunuch Chen mentioning himself, he stepped forward and bowed humbly: "
Sir, Dean from the Taiyuan Hospital, please send your regards to Chang Zai."
Ji Ling nodded: "Thank you, Doctor Di. I've been in poor health."
Only then did Dean raise his head and glance at Ji Ling. When Ji Ling met his eyes, he felt that his eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could see into a person's internal organs at a glance.
Dean smiled and said, "There is no need to worry too much about Chang Zai. I observe Chang Zai's complexion. It's nothing serious."
Traditional Chinese medicine has always emphasized "treating the disease before it's too late". The so-called "treating the disease before it's too late" actually means that when the body is healthy and there is no disease yet, it is necessary to take more care. Pay attention to the adjustment of medicinal diet and tea according to the body's deficiency, cold and warmth.
In this way, you can take precautions before they happen and avoid waiting until the disease breaks out before it is too late to treat it.
Therefore, the emperors and concubines of the Qing Dynasty also needed the imperial physician to diagnose their pulse when they were not ill. This was the "Ping'an Pulse" and they paid attention to health preservation and physical fitness.
While talking, a group of people walked into the front hall. Eunuch Chen turned aside. Ji Ling quickly asked Qixi to take him to sit down and serve tea. Dean's little medical apprentice had already put the medicine box on the table and opened it.
Finally, there was a dazzling array of things inside, many of which Ji Ling didn't recognize. However, there was a row of shining silver needles, which made Ji Ling tremble.
No matter in modern times or in ancient times, she was most afraid of getting water from injections. When she arrived at the hospital, her legs felt weak when she smelled the disinfectant.
After the diagnosis, Dr. Di said something to the effect that her condition had nothing to do with her. As long as she ate well, slept well, and relaxed, she would definitely get better in spring. He also prescribed some medicines and gave them to Qixi.
, detailed instructions on how to take it and dietary taboos.
Eunuch Chen saw that the time was almost up and said with a smile: "Chang Zai, since I have diagnosed the Ping'an pulse, I will leave with Doctor Di."
Ji Ling quickly stood up and said: "Eunuch Chen, I'll see you off!".
Eunuch Chen let out a muddy cough from his chest. The little eunuch following him immediately put a robe on him. Eunuch Chen suddenly waved his hand, knocked the clothes off, and lowered his voice to the man.
The little eunuch glared and said: "Young man, you can't even see me, the master is still here!".
He then turned to Ji Ling with a smile and said: "Chang Zai is going to kill this slave, how can I bear it? You're welcome, stay, stay!"
Ji Ling still insisted on sending him to the door of the west courtyard. Seeing that the sun was shining brightly just now, lead clouds gathered densely again, and the sky was dark. He didn't know if there would be another heavy snowfall, so he said to Qixi
: "Bring an umbrella to Eunuch Chen." Qixi became smarter now, turned around and ran away.
Eunuch Chen kept saying, "No need! No need! My slave is thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Even a little rain and snow will be fine."
Ji Ling took the umbrella from Qixi, who was running out of breath, and handed it to the little eunuch beside Eunuch Chen, and then said: "I don't have anything decent to entertain Eunuch Chen in the west courtyard. I had a wish in the morning, but Eunuch Chen didn't
Take it, I can only give my father-in-law an umbrella, and I hope that my father-in-law won’t dislike it.”
Eunuch Chen thanked her repeatedly and said goodbye. After walking a few steps, he suddenly looked back at Ji Ling, narrowed his eyes slightly, walked back and leaned beside her and whispered: "Chang Zai, take good care of yourself quickly. You need to
You know how to strike while the iron is hot!".
After Eunuch Chen left, Qixi was stunned for a moment, ran to the door, looked at the group of people who had disappeared around the corner, came back with a bit of melancholy and said to Ji Ling: "Chang Zai, I thought Eunuch Chen was here to inform you.
Let’s go to bed tonight!”
Bixue, Xiao Fenzi, and Xiao Dazi stood under the big tree in the yard, all looking at Ji Ling with expressions on their faces like "I think so too".
Ji Ling said with a smile: "You guys!", and then stood in the courtyard happily, looking around, then turned to Qixi and said: "This pond is very good, but there are too many dead branches and leaves. Let's clean it up."
, you can plant lotus flowers in summer.”
She walked around with her hands behind her back, looked at the lanterns hanging under the eaves, and looked at the window paper on the windows. Many of them were yellow and broken, and she said: "Take down this lantern, put it on the ground, and use stones to cushion it."
Just get up and make a floor lamp at night. It looks good and illuminates the road clearly. This window paper is too ugly and needs to be replaced."
Xiao Fenzi, Xiao Dazi agreed repeatedly, and Xiao Fenzi went to move the ladder. Xiao Dazi helped him hold it, and the ladder was leaning against the eaves. Xiao Fenzi was agile and moved like a little monkey.
He rushed up and in a blink of an eye he had picked up a lantern and came down.
Over there, Bixue tore off half of the window paper, turned to Ji Ling with a smile, "Chang Zai, what color should we use for the new window paper?".
Ji Ling thought for a while: "Use light green, it looks refreshing."
The snow did fall in the evening.
In the Qianqing Palace, Yin read the memorial for a long time and finally put down his imperial pen. The fatigue between his brows was still not completely gone.
Su Peisheng took advantage of this opportunity and whispered: "Your Majesty, the minister's room is waiting below. Would you like to go first..." Eunuch Chen stood bowed below and raised his head slightly when he heard Su Peisheng's words.
Yin picked up the tea cup beside him and took a sip. He felt slightly bitter. He glanced at the tea in the cup and frowned: "The tea water is too hot." Before the little eunuch next to him could react, Su Peisheng had already kicked him.
Bend your knees.
The little eunuch knelt down and was so frightened that he almost cried. He slapped himself in the face and said with a grin: "I was negligent! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I deserve to die!".
Yin didn't say anything, but Su Peisheng saw him staring at the green head card in a trance, as if he was thinking of someone.
