Chapter 283 Starvation Disease(1/2)
Gu Yuezhi's eldest son Tang Lin has been ill for seven or eight days.
At the beginning, it was just a little wind and cold. The Tang family was experiencing a storm. There were too many messes in the house. Gu Yuezhi was so busy that he didn't care too much about it.
If you have a minor illness like wind and cold, if you don’t have a fever, you will invite an imperial physician. The imperial physician will not prescribe a prescription, and you will just let you eat some ginger soup for a few meals.
Gu Yuezhi is very familiar with this.
She also ordered the wet nurse and maid to take care of Tang Lin in this way.
After two days of suffering, the child's cold did not heal and instead developed a fever.
Only then did Gu Yuezhi leave the housework and ask her husband to hire an imperial physician for the child.
The imperial physician came and believed that the child was a fever caused by insufficient positive energy and should nourish yin and clear away heat, so he prescribed medicines such as white peony, raw Rehmannia huang.
After taking it for a few days, the child vomited and had diarrhea.
Gu Yuezhi and her husband Tang Yijin were both frightened and quickly changed to an imperial physician.
The imperial physician came and said, "I'm confused. Where is the deficiency and heat? It's clear that it's deficiency and cold. You shouldn't clear the ejaculation. Look at the eldest master, he vomited and discharged, because he used the medicine to clear the fire.
This causes such a cold and fever, which should be replenished, but should not be cleared..."
Then I prescribed some astragalus, Codonopsis, etc.
After eating for two days, Tang Lin still didn't get well.
The child has a low fever intermittently, and even says nonsense.
Only then did Gu Yuezhi and his wife realize that the child might not be a simple cold, but other diseases. No one in the famous doctor in Beijing could surpass Gu Jinzhi.
Only then did Gu Yuezhi send someone and invite Gu Jinzhi.
He sent someone to tell his mother again.
Mrs. Gu was close to the Tang family and arrived earlier than Gu Jinzhi.
As soon as she came, she saw that her grandson had a small face collapsed, and scolded Gu Yuezhi and Tang Yijin: "I have been sick for so long and my child has become like this. Why did I tell me today?"
Gu Yuezhi pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Tang Yijin explained in a low voice: "It's just a cold and fever. It's common for a little man to have a headache and a fever. I didn't dare to make a fuss to startle you."
"It's all like this, is it just a wind and cold?" The eldest lady was a little angry.
Tang Lin was sick for seven or eight days, thin and yellow, and looked extremely shocked.
The eldest lady's heart was thrust.
Tang Yijin and Gu Yuezhi were both ashamed and dared not speak.
Tang Lin was not sleeping. His eyes were a little tired, and he had weak eyelids. He looked at his grandmother from time to time, then looked at his parents, and then pursed his lips slightly.
His lips were pursed, very much like Gu Yuezhi when he was sad.
The eldest lady felt distressed again, reached out and touched Tang Lin's face, and asked him: "Brother Lin, where is he uncomfortable? Tell my grandmother..."
Tang Lin shook his head.
The room fell silent.
The boy who heard from the second gate said that Gu Jinzhi and Song Pan'er had arrived, and notified the maid in the inner courtyard. The maid ran in and told Gu Yuezhi again.
"Go and welcome it quickly." said the eldest lady.
Gu Yue's way was that he rushed to the gate of Chuhua to welcome Gu Jinzhi and Song Pan'er.
The group went directly to Gu Yuezhi's yard without delay.
Gu Yuezhi did not politely serve tea, and let Gu Jinzhi and Song Pan'er enter the inner room.
The eldest lady got up, gave up her place beside her to Gu Jinzhi, and asked her to take her pulse for the child.
Tang Lin had never seen Gu Jinzhi much, and his vigilance towards strangers appeared in his eyes.
He was too sick and weak, and he was not even energetic in his eyes, so pitiful.
Gu Jinzhi sat down and introduced himself gently: "Brother Lin. Do you still remember me? I am Aunt Qi. During the Dragon Boat Festival the New Year last year, you and your parents went to my grandmother's house. Haven't you seen me? Do you still remember
Don't remember?"
Tang Lin was a little confused.
However, Gu Jinzhi's attitude was very good, so he relaxed his guard a little, shook his head and said, "I don't remember..."
The voice is weak.
"I will remember it when I go to my house to play in the future." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "Aunt Qi will take your pulse, and you can stretch out your hand, okay?"
Because Gu Jinzhi said that she also belonged to her grandmother's house.
Tang Lin loved his grandmother very much and felt good about the people at his grandmother's family. He obediently stretched out his hand to take Gu Jinzhi's pulse.
Gu Jinzhi said that he was so obedient, so he took his pulse for him.
Then, he looked at his tongue coating again.
After watching, when she saw Gu Yuezhi and his wife and the eldest wife, Song Pan'er looked at her nervously. She smiled and said, "Brother Lin is fine. Let's go out and talk."
The wet nurse left behind to take care of the children, and the group went to the East Room.
The eldest lady spoke first and asked Gu Jinzhi: "What is the disease of Brother Lin?"
"Not sick." Gu Jinzhi said, "just a little fever."
Gu Yuezhi and Tang Yijin didn't believe it and looked at Gu Jinzhi in confusion.
Gu Jinzhi asked Gu Yuezhi: "Second sister, what have Brother Lin eaten these days. Think about it and tell me..."
Gu Yuezhi's face changed drastically and she asked, "Is it poisoned?"
Her association ability is too strong.
"No, no." Gu Jinzhi said, "I just asked about diet as usual. Think about it carefully..."
Gu Yuezhi's lingering fear had not passed yet, and his mind quickly recalled the child's diet these days: "When he started to have a fever, he didn't eat and was hungry for two meals. Then, he drank some millet porridge. Later, the imperial doctor prescribed a medicine for ejaculation.
He said it would be better to have a few meals, but he was hungry for two more meals. Later, Doctor Zhong said that it was not deficiency heat, but deficiency cold, so he should be replenished and take medicine..."
She said in a very inconsistent manner and was nagging, "...I didn't eat anything beside me, I kept eating rice porridge. I ate two meals a day."
"This is the cause of the disease." Gu Jinzhi said, "Brother Lin is hungry."
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone was unbelievable.
"Why are you hungry when you have a fever?" asked Song Pan'er, who had not spoken much.
"Although I have only seen Brother Lin a few times before, he is thin, gentle and shy, and his body is not strong enough. After getting sick, external evil invaded, and the medicine he took required his own body to generate energy to fight the disease.
If he is too weak, he will lack integrity and it will be useless if he takes the medicine.
Brother Lin is not weak and heat, he is indeed a deficiency and cold syndrome. The imperial physician behind him did not diagnose it wrong. The medicine he prescribed was useful, and Brother Lin's illness has been cured by 70% to 80%.
If I had hired the imperial physician behind me at the beginning, I would have been cured long ago. The imperial physician in front of me said it was a deficiency of heat and it was wrong to use the medicine for clearing ejaculation. Those medicines for clearing ejaculation almost destroyed Brother Lin'er's body.
He was already weak and had been tired for a few more days. He became even more weak. Since he got sick, you have never given him a good meal. Normal adults would fall down even if they drink porridge for seven or eight days, let alone children?
Now that I am not hungry, I am sick and drink medicine, and my stomach energy does not rise. First, give him a bowl of vegetable soup. Once the stomach energy is raised, then make some chicken noodle soup for him to eat. It will be cured in just two days..." Gu Jin
The way.
After she finished speaking, Gu Yuezhi and Tang Yijin looked at each other a little.
The eldest lady said, "What are you doing while standing? Go and ask someone to cook some vegetable soup and drink it for Brother Lin." Then she asked, "Do you have good hens at home? If not, I'll ask someone to send them.
…”
Gu Yuezhi came back to his senses and said, "Some."
Then I went out and asked someone to make vegetable soup first.
Brother Lin is fine. After Gu Jinzhi's diagnosis was completed, he thought that Gu Yuezhi had something to do, so Gu Jinzhi and Song Pan'er were going to say goodbye first.
Tang Lin’s parents and grandmother are here, so Gu Jinzhi and Song Pan’er do not need to accompany him.
Gu Yuezhi kept them for dinner: "After I spent lunch before going back."
"You are busy, Brother Lin still needs to take care of you." Song Pan'er refused, "It's not an outsider, why are you polite? Let's go back first. If there is still something to do, just ask someone to invite Sister Jin."
Gu Yuezhi thought about it and did not leave them alone.
The eldest lady personally sent Gu Jinzhi and Song Paner out.
When she turned back, Mrs. Tang also came.
She chanted scriptures early in the morning and prayed for Brother Lin, so she delayed her visit to Brother Lin until now.
When he heard that Miss Gu’s seventh lady had come to see Brother Lin, Mrs. Tang asked with hope: “What prescription did you prescribe?”
Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Jiang were cured by that strange disease at the time, and Mrs. Jiang Xin, the second lady of the Jiang family, also cured by Gu Jinzhi. Mrs. Jiang said that she had heard of it for Mrs. Tang, so Mrs. Tang knew that Gu Jinzhi had excellent medical skills.
"There is no prescription..." Tang Yijin said Gu Jinzhi's diagnosis.
Mrs. Tang was also stunned: "Is this... okay?"
