The noise outside had attracted the attention of Hua'an Hall. Shen Tianshu saw Gong Lihua and Mo Ze, the boy next to Shen Zhonglei, also come out from behind and stood watching from a distance.
Shen Tianshu asked the old woman directly: "May I ask this old lady, do you feel the 'fetal movement' in your abdomen from time to time? Sometimes the movement is too much, and you get abdominal pain and backache?"
"Exactly, how did this little lady know?" The old woman looked at Shen Tianshu in surprise.
"Old Madam, can you let me check your pulse?" Shen Tianshu asked.
The old woman was very talkative and extended her right hand.
After diagnosing the pulse, Shen Tianshu became more certain and said categorically: "This is a symptom of qi stagnation, not pregnancy."
Hearing this, the old man immediately refused and retorted: "At the beginning, we didn't think we were pregnant. We also took medicine to regulate qi, but it didn't work at all. Instead, we took mugwort leaves and decoction, brown sugar and eggs to relieve the pain. People also suffer from retching, acidosis and drowsiness in the morning, is this also due to shortness of breath?"
"If you don't believe me, buy three qian of Sichuan Qiong decoction and drink it, and your big belly will disappear immediately."
As soon as this statement came out, not only did the old man not believe it, but even Gong Lihua frowned.
Although Chuanqiong does have the effect of promoting qi and relieving depression, he has been practicing medicine for decades and would not dare to make such big claims.
Who is this little lady who dares to speak arrogantly outside the Hua'an Hall?
But the old woman looked happy and said: "I have given birth to three sons and one daughter in my life. I don't think it was fetal movement. It happened that I had a dream about Guanyin giving birth to a child. The old man insisted on saying that I was pregnant. In fact, I have worked really hard in the past six months. I'm sorry, the lady just described my illness accurately, I'm willing to try the prescription she mentioned."
Hearing this, Gong Lihua finally couldn't help it. He took a few steps forward and said with an unhappy look on his face: "This is my Hua'an Hall. If you want to try it, please find another place..."
Before he finished speaking, the curtain behind the door suddenly lifted, and Shen Zhonglei walked out and said, "Wait a minute."
Shen Zhonglei walked out and looked Shen Tianshu up and down.
Shen Tianshu remained calm and composed. She added a layer of tulle to the curtain hat this time. From the inside, she could see the outside, but when she tried to look inside, it was like clouds and mist, and her appearance could not be seen clearly.
Mingyu didn't have Shen Tianshu's determination. Seeing Shen Zhonglei so close to him, his hands and feet were so weak that he almost sat down on the ground.
Shen Zhonglei asked Gong Lihua: "What do you think, Doctor Gong?"
"That's ridiculous!" Gong Lihua said indignantly, "It's just a joke! This is not children's play!"
Shen Tianshu asked: "Doctor Gong didn't diagnose the patient's pulse, so how can he say that my prescription is a joke?"
Shen Zhonglei said: "Doctor Yigong, how should I use the medicine?"
Gong Lihua knew that he had made Shen Zhonglei very displeased by making Mrs. Zhao's condition more serious. If the old lady was not seriously ill and unable to move, it would have been impossible to stay in Hua'antang.
Hearing Shen Zhonglei ask this, he could only step forward to check the old woman's pulse.
I have to say that this young lady’s diagnosis was quite accurate, but Gong Lihua disagreed with her use of medicine.
He stroked his beard and thought for a moment and said: "You should take Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, coix seed, licorice, cinnamon, Citrus aurantium husk, ginseng, Divine Comedy, Plantago seed, radish seed, yam, decoction in water, take thirty doses and you will be cured."
Shen Zhonglei frowned when he heard this and was not very satisfied. Compared with Shen Tianshu's single dose, Gong Lihua's was obviously too stable, and it took thirty doses, but it would not be effective immediately.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Shen Tianshu and asked: "Is it effective after one dose?"
While he was talking, he observed Shen Tianshu. Although he could not see her face, her body did not sway or her hands shook, and she exuded a calm temperament all over her body.
Shen Zhonglei was secretly amazed. This young lady looked young, could it be that she really had some ability?
Shen Tianshu replied categorically: "One dose will take effect, otherwise you can do whatever you want."
"Okay!" Shen Zhonglei said in a loud voice, "Come here, grab some medicine and boil it. I'll watch it and drink it here!"
Now that Shen Zhonglei had spoken, Gong Lihua could no longer object and went to catch Sanqian Chuanqiong himself and boil the medicine in water.
The medicine was cooked quickly, and the old woman drank the medicine in public, regardless of the old man's obstruction.
After a while, sweat broke out on the old woman's forehead. She bent down and covered her stomach. She began to cry out in pain and made a gurgling sound in her abdomen.
The old man looked worried, walked quickly to his wife, glared at Shen Tianshu and said, "If anything happens to your children, you are the only one I want to ask. Even if the prefect supports you, it will be useless!"
But the old woman pushed him away and said, "I, I want to clean the room!"
The medicine boy quickly took the old woman to the backyard to clean the room, and a group of people followed behind her.
The old woman quickly entered the house and soon heard a series of fart sounds in the house.
Although the smell had not spread outside, the onlookers took a step back and subconsciously raised their hands to cover their noses.
Not long after, the old woman came out with a shy but happy face.
Everyone ignored the unpleasant smell and all looked at her abdomen.
I saw that the old woman's originally bulging belly had subsided quite a bit, and now her waist looked like she was only slightly fatter.
"Thank you so much, madam!" The old woman grabbed Shen Tianshu's hand and thanked her repeatedly, "I've really suffered a lot in the past few months. I've seen a lot of doctors, and they said everything, but the medicine never works. I'm dead. The old man goes out every day to make public, saying that Guanyin has given birth to a son, and that I am pregnant in my seventies. I am really ashamed of myself. I am laughed at even when I go out with my children and grandchildren. Now I finally met a miracle doctor who has relieved me of the pain I have been suffering from for more than half a year."
"You're welcome." Shen Tianshu checked the old woman's pulse and said, "I'll write you another prescription. After three doses, the abdominal distension will disappear completely. You will be well on your way to recovery. You will be fully recovered in a month."
After saying this, Shen Tianshu borrowed paper and pen from Doctor Gong and quickly prescribed a prescription.
Both Shen Zhonglei and Gong Lihua couldn't help but come over to watch Shen Tianshu prescribe.
While watching, Gong Lihua couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Is this the Four-Wood Soup? The weight of Sichuan Qiong is increased, um, Citrus aurantium husk, woody incense, Cyperus rotunda and Wuyao are also added?"
Shen Tianshu put down his pen, waited for the ink to dry, and said: "Chuanqiong is the qi medicine in the blood. The power of qi does not let the fragrance."
Gong Lihua looked at Shen Tianshu with a complicated expression, and had to say: "This little lady has superb medical skills, Gong is very impressed by her!"
The people watching were in an uproar when they heard this. Even the palace doctor said that this young lady has superb medical skills. Could this be the ability that she brought from her mother's womb?
Shen Zhonglei could not understand the medical prescription, but was attracted by Shen Tianshu's handwriting.
What she wrote was not the small regular script with hairpins favored by ordinary women in the boudoir. Instead, it was written through the back of the paper, with a strong character and a style of its own.
"My little lady is quite good at handwriting!"
It's just that it's a little too sharp and not gentle enough, maybe there's something on your mind.
It was not convenient for Shen Zhonglei to say the following words. After all, there were differences between men and women, and it was the first time they met, so it was absolutely inappropriate to have a shallow conversation.
Shen Tianshu didn't pay attention before, but when he heard this and looked down, he couldn't help but be startled.
In her previous life, she started practicing calligraphy with her grandfather when she could hold a brush as a child.
It's not for the sake of a certain climate, it's mainly for the purpose of tempering one's character.
Nowadays, the family has undergone a huge change, and her mood has been ups and downs in just twenty days, which has actually had an impact on her handwriting.
Although her handwriting in her previous life was often said to be aloof and arrogant, it was not as sharp and craggy as it is now, as if resentment and hatred were mixed into each stroke.
Shen Tianshu ignored his handwriting and asked in a loud voice: "May I ask Master Shen, am I qualified to come in and treat the old lady now?"
