Since Nanxian and Yunci no longer have any elders in their family, they don't have to endure the hardships on New Year's Eve like other people. The two sisters had paid homage to the memorial tablets of their ancestors and parents. They had originally agreed to stay up late on New Year's Eve, but before it reached Haishi, they were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes. So they each went back to bed and fell asleep. I slept until dawn, and was awakened by the high and low sounds of firecrackers in the city, and then I struggled to get up and dress up.
There is nothing else to do on New Year's Day. The most important thing is to go to the homes of three uncles and two aunts to pay New Year greetings. Everyone in the Xiang family studied medicine, but their medical skills were mixed. Although the three uncles also obtained official positions in the Imperial Medical Bureau, their real abilities were far behind Aweng's.
There is a certain degree of comparison and jealousy among the brothers. Sometimes when the family gathers to worship ancestors, the topic will spontaneously turn to their fathers, complaining that the old man favors one over the other, and passes on the most mysterious housekeeping skills to the eldest brother.
However, with the passing of Aweng, few people repeat those old tunes - it is better to pass on the grievances to the children and nephews, and the accusations and knowledge should be passed down from the ancestors!
But when it comes to being friendly and affectionate, it doesn't really count. They just visit the house to pay New Year greetings and give a few small gold and silver coins as a token of New Year's greetings.
The second uncle had probably heard about Nan Xian's treatment of Prince Feng Yi's heir, and was surprised that she had such a method. Finally, he said: "The chief ministers put pressure on the Holy One to let the heir take over the title of king. Since you have cured the heir, you will have a future if he succeeds in the title." After saying this, he asked again for the first time, "You guys stay? Have a quick lunch?”
Nanxian and Yunci were the most sensible, so they refused to go to the homes of several uncles and aunts, so the second uncle did not force himself.
When he arrived at the third house, the fourth uncle remembered Shishen, "Why didn't you come back during the Chinese New Year?"
Nan Xian said yes, "There is an epidemic in the south, and I am staying there to treat the epidemic."
The fourth uncle said "Huh", "You are not young anymore. When the period of filial piety is over, let's choose a good day to get married."
Therefore, everyone in Xiang's family acquiesced in this marriage. Only Nanxian was unsure and even a little pessimistic about the future.
All in all, the New Year passed without any incident. After the New Year, he was still as busy as usual, receiving this lady today and diagnosing that girl tomorrow.
Because Nanxian healed the Divine Realm, the news spread in Jiankang City, and Nanxian's business was better than before. In addition, the palace finally announced an order to command the Divine Realm to seize the title of King Feng Yi. Although I never saw him again, I really benefited from him.
People who come to see him always mention him from time to time, as if seeing the same female doctor for treatment can have some connection with Xiao Feng Yi Wang.
Nanxian had heard it too much and didn't take it to heart. Instead, Yunci muttered from time to time: "This little Prince Feng Yi is a busy man, so why don't you come and sit at home when you have time?"
The weather is getting warmer, and when the melons and fruits are ripe, Nanxian and Yunci like to use ice water to cool down the watermelons and plums. Therefore, every day at dawn, the servants at home go to the ice cellar next to Guishan Temple to wait for the market to open. Selling ice.
The ice maker used an iron hook to drag large ice cubes up from the ice channel, and then knocked them into basin-sized pieces and distributed them one by one. For ten cents, you could get one piece. Then I quickly stuffed it into the box and covered it with a quilt. When I got home, the ice was still the same and I could put it directly in the big copper basin to enjoy the fruits.
The weather changed in the afternoon, with lightning and thunder and a heavy rain. The building in the backyard of Xiangzhai was built very high, and the thunder seemed to be pounding in the ears, scaring people to close their doors and windows and not dare to show their heads. It only took a quarter of an hour for the sky to clear up, and when I looked outside, the whole world was transformed. The blue sky is reflected on the lake, and even the clouds are particularly white, plump and lovely.
Su He raised a knife, fished out a melon from the ice water, and chopped it down with a hiss. Every time I open a melon, it's like a big gamble. A circle of people surround me to see if the melon is ripe or not.
The watermelon was cut in half, and the bright red flesh looked up to the sky. Next to me, Zhang’s mother had a lot of experience, “We also grow melons in my hometown. When buying melons, you should choose ones with vines. Look at how many of the tendrils on them are burnt. If more than two sticks are burnt, the melon is still ripe."
The clouds are gathering, the rain is passing, the waves are rising, the buildings are high, the water is cold, the melons are sweet, it’s a really pleasant day.
Everyone was chatting about their daily life, and suddenly they heard the thumping of footsteps going upstairs. Someone passed a message on the door, saying that someone was coming from the Yuzhou Biejia Mansion. The girl at home was hungry, so she asked the young lady to come over and take a look.
Nan Xian had no choice but to put down the melon and make an exception to go out for medical treatment.
He took Su He and the medicine box and rushed to Biejia's house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Biejia's wife dismissing the people standing there and hurriedly closed the door behind Nanxian.
Nan Xian and Su He looked at each other in confusion. Before they had time to see the patient, Madam Bijia grabbed her hand and said, "Madam Xiang, please save my little girl."
It doesn't seem like he has a bad stomach. People who lie about their illnesses usually have hidden secrets behind them. Nan Xian hurriedly comforted Madam Bijia: "I'll try my best, but I don't know what illness the lady in the house has?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Don's face was full of embarrassment, and she hesitated for a long time: "My daughter has trouble with her menstruation, so she asked Xiao Changqian's grandma to see her. Grandma prescribed a sitz bath, but the treatment came and went, and she was cured." ”
Nan Xian understood the whole story and said in harmony: "Please show off your golden face, little lady."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaation" Mrs. Biejia hurriedly signaled to the maid beside her to open the curtain.
Nan Xian turned around and saw the girl lying on the bed, covered with a quilt in the hot summer, her face was like gold paper, and she knew that something was unusual.
He went over to check, and Nanxian was even more surprised when Mrs. Biejia said that the inconvenience was caused by burns. When he was about to lift the quilt and take a look, the girl on the bed pressed down on the edge of the quilt and burst into tears.
Everyone was in a dilemma for a moment, she refused to let anyone see her, and even the most skilled doctor couldn't do anything about it.
Nan Xian thought for a while, turned around and separated Su He and the maid, and said to the girl: "Just leave me and your mother, okay? Don't treat me like a doctor, little lady, just treat me as a friend in the boudoir."
Saying this, Fang persuaded her and moved her hand away.
Lifting up the quilt, a strange smell hit his face, almost suffocating Nan Xian's breath. Looking more carefully, she found that the so-called burns were beyond her expectation. She looked solemn and put down the quilt to take a pulse. After this meeting, he knew everything. He looked at Madam Biejia and said, "It would be bad for your wife to hide your illness. Since you invited me here, you should tell the truth."
As soon as she finished saying these words, Madam Bujia blushed and lowered her head, saying, "It's because of my lax discipline that my family is in misfortune..."
So Nan Xian's judgment was correct, "Sun Po prescribed a hot decoction for irrigation, right?"
Madam Biejie nodded, "I prescribed Chuanxiong, salvia, fennel, ginger, etc., and said the hotter the water, the better. It will soften and loosen knots, and the fetus will come down."
Nan Xian sighed. It is true that quack medicine can harm people. Next, he had to tell the mother and daughter some unfortunate news: "All this suffering was in vain. The child is still here."
Don't worry, the lady is so shocked now, "She obviously bled yesterday..."
Nanxian said: "It's hurt inside, how can it not bleed? But this blood has nothing to do with the fetus."
The mother and daughter immediately became confused, and the girl on the bed cried bitterly, "Mom, what should I do...what should I do..."
Madam Biejia immediately stared at Nanxian closely, and she almost knelt down to her, "Madam Xiang, you are very skilled in medicine. Please think of a way for us."
Nan Xian asked: "Madam, should you protect the young lady first, or..."
What choice do you have in this situation? Madam Bijia said: "I have to keep my little girl, but I can't keep the child. We are almost three months old. If we stay, my little girl's life will be ruined. Madam Xiang is also a boudoir." Women, you must understand our difficulties."
Nan Xian thought to himself that I am a boudoir girl, but I really can’t understand you. However, since I am a doctor, I have to look down on all kinds of weird things, so I told my wife: "Send someone to follow my maid, go up to the medicine cabinet and get three coins of horseflies." After that, he took the gold needle and went back in. , put a needle into the girl's Guanyuan, Sanyinjiao, and Quchi.
Don't let the lady send the servant girl to follow, and stand aside and ask: "How do you plan to treat me?"
Nanxian straightened up, pointed at the golden needle and said: "It can't give immediate results, but it can regulate the flow of qi and blood. Then add it with horseflies, remove the wings and feet, grind it into powder, and take it with warm wine. It can be used within an hour at most. After birth."
After hearing this, Madam Bujia's face flushed with excitement, "If it really comes true, the young lady will be our benefactor, and her great kindness will never be forgotten."
Maybe to impress her, he then talked about the situation at home and said dejectedly: "I misdiscipline my daughter. I don't dare to let the head of the family know about it. Those maids and concubines in the backyard are eyeing her. If it gets publicized, her reputation will be ruined." It’s over.”
There was a hint of pity in her words, and Nan Xian smiled, "My little lady just has a bad stomach. She will be fine after taking care of herself."
Madam Biejia was startled, then burst into tears of gratitude, "Madam Xiang is indeed kind-hearted and benevolent. It's all my fault for being shy. If I had invited Madam here early in the morning, I wouldn't have gone through all the hardship in vain."
Nan Xian was a little curious, and while waking up the needle, he asked why he was avoiding the taboo.
Madam Don't take a look at her daughter on the bed, and sighs: "Now I don't think about it anyway. To be honest with Madam, it doesn't matter. Aren't the Lord and the Queen looking for a good match for the little King Feng Yi? This Man Jiankang All high-ranking dignitaries are determined to form this family, and we are no exception. But I once heard that Madam Xiang had treated little Prince Feng Yi, and I was worried that Madam Xiang had a relationship with him. If Madam Xiang knew about this, I was afraid that she would be It’s not good for our future, so we decided to avoid my wife. Who knew that Xiao Changqian’s grandma was so stupid that she almost killed someone? In such a situation, why would we want to get married? Naturally, it’s important to save our lives.”
It seems that this beloved lady of the Biejia family is not a good match for her, which is why it ended up like this.
Then again, God's Domain has really become a hot topic in the eyes of nobles. Although it was expected, it is also disappointing.
Su He and the servant girl rushed back from that compartment and brought in a small paper bag with about ten horseflies wrapped in it. After Nanxian cleaned the worms, he roasted them with silver leaves on the charcoal fire until they were crispy and ground them into powder and let the people on the bed eat them.
As for the burnt area, there is another method of treatment. "Don't cover it with the quilt anymore. Open the doors and windows for a little ventilation so as not to get cold. I will prescribe a few more doses of heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine, let it cool down, then scrub it, and wait for the carrion to cool down." Eliminate it, regenerate new meat, and raise it for half a month."
Thank you so much for your kindness, it's like meeting a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.
Nan Xian finished his work and originally planned to leave, but was forced to stay. He said that for fear of something changing, he asked his wife to reluctantly wait for another hour.
I had no choice but to sit down and drink tea. After about half an hour, sweat broke out on the girl's forehead. She clutched her stomach and cried out in pain. Don't worry, the lady panicked and asked Nan Xian repeatedly: "This, this, this..." What should I do? Is it important?"
The child is the flesh of the mother. How can it not hurt if it is peeled off?
Nan Xian said: "Miscarriage is very harmful to the body. It won't come down without pain. Just bear with it a little longer."
It didn't take long for the blood to turn red. The maid wrapped a blood clot in a white cloth and brought it to the other lady.
The lady's heart was beating so fast that she didn't even dare to look. She waved her hand and said, "Bury it now."
Nan Xian stood up when he saw this, "If you feel unwell, send someone to find me."
She packed up the medicine box and was about to leave. Don't drive the lady to the door. She stopped talking and said, "Thanks to the lady, we were saved as mother and daughter this time. Madam Xiang..."
Nanxian understood and just said: "Don't worry."
Madam Bijia then showed a smile and hurriedly asked the maid to bring the medical fee. She stuffed a heavy packet into Su He's hand and said loudly, "Sorry for bothering you, madam. You went to the hospital for our minor illness." This trip.”
Nan Xian nodded and left the Biejia Mansion with Su He.
Su He got into the car, opened his baggage, took inventory, and said in surprise: "This time the medical fees are not high for both young and old."
Nanxian turned to look out the window, and a puff of hot air rushed straight to the door in front of him. She happened to see a stall selling frozen drinks on the street. She planned to treat herself well and said happily: "Su He, let's buy two bowls of ice cream and a few more cherries."
