"Knock knock~" Zhu Qing gently knocked on the door. The one who opened the door was Xiao He, the maid he had seen before.
Xiao He is still wearing a gray cloak, but has changed from a thin cloak to a thick cloak, and the corners of the cloak are also embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns.
Apart from Zhu Li, only Xiao He was in the room. The other maid was not there, probably because she was preparing medicine.
Xiao He nodded slightly towards Wen Xian and Sheng Lian'er, and then said to Zhu Qing: "Young Master Qing, are you going back?"
Their master had already contracted the cold, and they didn't know when he would get better after this trip.
"Miss Wen is a doctor. I'll bring her over first to show Zhu Si." Zhu Qing said worriedly, "How is Zhu Si? Is he feeling better?"
Even though she is a younger sister, her status is different after all. Apart from paying more attention to Zhu Li, he cannot interfere too much with Zhu Li.
"Doctor?" Xiao He said happily, "Miss Wen is actually a doctor. Mr. Zhu Si's cough is getting worse. Please ask Dr. Wen for help."
As he spoke, a series of coughs came from the room.
"Cough, cough, cough~"
Wen Xian stopped dawdling and quickly took Sheng Lian'er into the room.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, there are no fancy decorations, even the mosquito nets and bedding are light-colored.
In addition to two soft couches, a bed, and a set of tables and chairs, there was a dressing table and two boxes in the room.
Zhu Li was half lying on the bed, his head resting on the pillow, his face was pale, and he was coughing while covering his handkerchief.
Seeing Wen Xian coming, she tilted her head and smiled lightly and said, "There's Miss Lao Wen."
She had just heard that Wen Xian was a doctor and had come to help her see a doctor.
At this moment, she had lifted up her sleeves, exposed her wrists, and stretched out her hand for Wen Xian to help feel her pulse.
"Stop talking, let me take a look first." Wen Xian didn't hesitate and took her pulse while sitting on the stool brought over by Xiao He.
After a long time, she retracted her hand and asked Zhu Li to open his mouth and look at it. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's just the wind and cold. Just take a few doses of medicine."
Xiaohe said quickly: "I've been taking medicine for three days and it's still not good."
And it's getting more serious.
Wen Xian said: "Let me take a look at the past prescriptions."
Everyone's prescriptions are different. She has to see what Zhu Li drank before and what went wrong.
Xiao He looked at Zhu Li, and after receiving Zhu Li's nod of agreement, he quickly took out Zhu Li's prescription from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Xian.
Wen Xian opened it and looked at it, frowning and said: "There is nothing wrong with this prescription, but it treats wind-heat, not wind-cold, so it has no effect."
Although wind-chill and wind-heat are both colds, the sources of infection can be very different.
Zhu Li was surprised and said: "What's the difference? What is wind-heat and what is wind-cold?"
She believes that fever and cough are all the same disease. Therefore, the same prescription should work.
When Wen Xian heard Zhu Li's words, she knew that he was a half-baked doctor.
She patiently explained: "Wind-cold is caused by the external attack of wind-cold evil and the loss of lung qi. The main symptoms are severe aversion to cold, mild fever, no sweat, headache and body aches, nasal congestion and runny nose, coughing and spitting up thin white phlegm, and oral Not thirsty or likes hot drinks when thirsty, with thin and white coating.
Wind-heat is caused by the evil of wind-heat attacking the surface and causing the imbalance of lung qi. The main symptoms include severe fever, mild wind, head bloating and pain, sweating, sore throat, cough, sticky or yellow phlegm, nasal congestion and yellow discharge, thirsty drinkers, red tip of tongue, thin white and yellowish coating.
Wind-cold usually occurs in winter. I observed that Zhusi had no sweat, liked hot drinks, and had thin and white tongue coating. Therefore, it was caused by wind-cold. "
"That's it." Zhu Li suddenly realized, and then started coughing again.
Wen Xian quickly asked Xiao He for paper and pen to write the prescription. As she wrote, she read: "One liang each of perilla seeds, ephedra, almonds, tangerine peel, mulberry white bark, red poria, and half a liang of licorice."
After she finished prescribing, she blew the ink on the paper and said, "Look to see if there are any of these medicines on the ship. I have them here except tangerine peel and hay."
"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao He said quickly, "They are all on these ships. I'll go down and grab some medicine right away."
Of course, she looked at Zhu Li before leaving. When Zhu Li nodded, she went out to make medicine.
Wen Xian took the initiative to explain: "Wind-cold damages the lungs, inhibits heat in the meridians, and loses its normal distribution, so breathing is unfavorable and shortness of breath persists. Ephedra develops lung qi to disperse wind and cold, almonds loosen lung qi to disperse phlegm, and Su The seeds dispel phlegm and relieve depression, the mulberry bark clears the lungs and eliminates gold, the tangerine red invigorates qi and removes phlegm, the poria cocos exudes dampness and clears the lungs, the licorice relieves the qi and calms the stomach, and the ginger and dates benefit the heart and spleen to dispel cold.
Therefore, we have the prescription just now. Zhu Si is currently weak, but when he recovers, we can discuss it in depth. "
It’s normal to have scruples about what you put in your mouth. Therefore, it is best for Li to have his own medicine.
Even if you are a master of medical skills, you will know if there is anything wrong with it after reading the prescription and listening to the explanation.
Zhu Li nodded, then his eyes lit up and he said, "So, Miss Wen agrees to come back to Sun Island with us?"
"You two have luggage, I can help you get it." Zhu Qing quickly agreed.
Originally, she wanted Wen Xian to move to Sun Island mainly out of charity.
It's different now. People can make charcoal and have medical skills. Deceive, oh no, persuade her to go to Sun Island, which can be regarded as benefiting the people of Sun Island, but I don't know how long she will stay.
Wen Xian shook her head and said: "To be honest, there are eleven of us, plus one child. There is also a lot of other luggage. I don't know if this ship can hold it."
She felt a little hot when she said this. They really had too much luggage, and it could probably fill an entire ship.
Zhu Li stared: "Twelve people?"
Zhu Qing also opened his mouth, never expecting so many people. But that's right. If there weren't many people, how could so much charcoal be burned?
Zhu Li came back to his senses and said, "If you can fit it in, Zhu Qing can arrange it."
Wen Xian said happily: "Thank you both very much. In addition, I have a piece of business that I want to discuss with Young Master Qing."
Zhu Qing became interested: "What business?"
"Charcoal, I still have two thousand kilograms of charcoal, which I can sell to Mr. Qing at half price." Wen Xian smiled bitterly, "If possible, I would like to give it to Mr. Qing directly. But we are in a hurry this time and we don't have much money on us. The other half price will be used as the arrival fee.”
Zhu Qing said decisively: "Okay, no matter how much, I will buy it. If Miss Wen still has charcoal to sell in the future, please consider Sun Island first."
He actually wanted to learn the technique of burning charcoal. After all, Wen Xian left at some point.
Forget it, when they are about to leave Sun Island, he will shamelessly talk to them.
Wen Xian said happily: "Then let's move now and call in more people."
Zhu Qing thought that the luggage of eleven people would not be much, no matter how much it was.
But when he saw two sheep, a chicken, a wolf, and a pile of firewood and sunburned food that had to be packed away, he was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
