After the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, it's almost the New Year's Eve. The banquets before the New Year have basically come to an end, and every household is busy preparing for the New Year.
Shen Tianshu can no longer go out frequently and stays at home most of the time.
However, she had not received any news from the Guo family, and she did not know how Guo Xintong was doing now, which made her feel a little worried.
They waited like this for a long time, and it was not until the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month that Qiu Jun finally came to the house to deliver a message: "Girl, the Guo family sent someone to the house outside early this morning to tell them that they had made an appointment with Lady Tong. "
Seeing that I am already in my late teens, it is really not convenient to go out of the city now.
Shen Tianshu thought for a moment and said, "Can you please make a trip to the hot spring village outside the city and send a message to the Guo family to meet at the house outside tomorrow?"
Early the next morning, Shen Tianshu led people straight to the house outside.
Now that Chunlan's foot injury had long since healed, Shen Tianshu asked her again about her future plans.
Chunlan knelt at Shen Tianshu's feet and cried and begged: "Please take pity on me, Miss, and take me in. No matter what kind of hard work it is, I won't do any hard work. I am willing to guard the house here for you."
Shen Tianshu had nothing to do with this stubborn maid, so he had to say: "Then stay here first! But someone is coming today, so go back to your room and don't come out."
After sending Chunlan away, Shen Tianshu winked at Gao Cuier and said, "You can take Deng Wen to the backyard to play."
Although Gao Cuier was only nine years old, she was very smart and was particularly good at eye expressions. She immediately understood that Shen Tianshu asked her to look at some Chunlan, and immediately took Deng Wen's hand and said, "Let's go to the backyard to find it." Sister Chunlan, please help me make a shuttlecock. Can I teach you how to kick the shuttlecock?"
"You girl will definitely be a promising person in the future. You are so smart." Shen Tianshu said to Fang on the side.
"The girl really praises her so much. If she can stay with the big girl in the future, it will be her great fortune!"
While the two were talking, Jin quickly walked in and said, "Girl, the Guo family is here and has already entered the gate."
Shen Tianshu hurriedly put on his curtain hat and sat in the lobby that had been decorated before.
Guo Xintong was accompanied by Mrs. Guo. Her complexion looked a little better than before, but she was still dull overall and her lips had no color.
"Does it always take this long every time you come to Kuishui?" Shen Tianshu asked.
"In the past two years, it was normal, usually on the fifth or sixth day, and there was no such serious reaction as now.
"Stretch out your hand and I'll check your pulse." Shen Tianshu motioned to Guo Xintong to put his arm on the pulse pillow in front of him.
When Guo Xintong heard her voice, she frowned and looked at Mrs. Guo beside her and said, "Mom, are you sure you didn't bring me to the wrong place? Or is it grandma who made a mistake? This Mrs. Tong sounded about the same age as me. , can you really take good care of my shortcomings?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Guo quickly stopped Guo Xintong and said very sorry to Shen Tianshu, "My little girl has been spoiled by her family and is not sensible. Mrs. Tong must not be like her."
"It doesn't matter." Shen Tianshu said, "I know it's hard for me to convince people when I'm young. Mr. Zhao thought so too at first, but Mrs. Zhao is recovering well now and can go out to attend banquets. Facts speak louder than words. Miss Guo, do you think so?"
Only then did Guo Xintong doubtfully put her hand on the pulse pillow, but she still refused to admit defeat and said: "Just because you can cure Mrs. Zhao, it doesn't mean you can cure my disease. My mother has taken me everywhere to seek medical treatment in the past two years." Even if you don't get better after asking for medicine, you..."
Before Guo Xintong finished speaking, Shen Tianshu had already withdrew his hand to diagnose her pulse, looked at her tongue coating, and asked in detail about the details of her usual attacks, and said: "Ms. Guo's illness is caused by a deficiency of heart and blood. It is precisely because of this that various symptoms appear during menstruation.”
Mrs. Guo asked anxiously: "Is there any way to cure it?"
"If you understand the cause of the disease, it will be easier to treat it." Shen Tianshu said, picking up the pen and preparing to write a prescription.
Unexpectedly, Guo Xintong suddenly turned around and asked the middle-aged woman who had been following her: "Doctor Zhang, what do you think of Mrs. Tong's diagnosis?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Guo also turned around and saw that the person who had been following Guo Xintong today was not the nanny in her room at all, but Zhang Yazhong, a doctor specializing in women's medicine in Wuchang Prefecture.
"You..." Mrs. Guo simply didn't know what to say to her daughter. It was a big taboo to take another doctor to see a doctor. Moreover, choosing to ask at this time was extremely disrespectful to Mrs. Tong.
She pulled her daughter, lowered her voice and asked, "What are you going to do? What did the old lady explain at home, and you have forgotten it?"
Guo Xintong said unconvinced: "My body is my own. If you bring me to see a doctor, you have to convince me, right? Otherwise, even if she prescribes medicine, I won't dare to take it."
Shen Tianshu knew Zhang Yazhong in his previous life. Although they only met twice, they often exchanged letters.
Zhang Yazhong is a very upright doctor, so Shen Tianshu didn't feel any pressure.
"I wonder how Mrs. Tong considered this diagnosis?" Zhang Yazhong asked.
"Miss Guo Yunying is unmarried, so her heart and blood are easy to be deficient. If her blood is deficient, her heart will lose its support and she will not be able to hide her spirit. If her mind is restless, her will will be restless, causing her spirit, soul, and soul to lose control of her home." Shen Tianshu said, "Moreover, There is also a saying in "Lingshu·Da Huo Lun" that 'when the spirit is injured, the soul will be scattered and the will will be confused', which is also consistent with Miss Guo's pulse and symptoms. I wonder what Dr. Zhang thinks?"
Guo Xintong didn't understand anything and could only look at Zhang Yazhong.
Zhang Yazhong was very cautious and thought carefully for a long time before nodding and saying: "I have never considered this before, but what Mrs. Tong said is indeed very reasonable, and there are also records in ancient medical books to support it. It is an idea worth trying. I don't know. In Miss Guo’s situation, how does Mrs. Tong plan to prescribe it?”
"It is easy to catch cold when the blood is gone, and the spirit is trance-like and unstable. Use Guipi Decoction to maintain the balance of qi and blood, so that the spirit, soul, and spirit will be attached. Add dragon bones, oysters, and amber to absorb the spirit and promote sufficient qi and blood. If you give up something, your spirit will be at peace."
Shen Tianshu wrote down the prescription as he spoke: "Take the medicine according to the prescription, take six doses first, see if the condition improves, and come back for a follow-up consultation after the next menstruation."
Guo Xintong did not take the prescription, but turned her attention to Zhang Yazhong, waiting for her conclusion.
"Ms. Tong is so proficient in medicine at such a young age, which is really admirable. At least from a medical point of view, there is no problem. But whether the medicine is effective depends on the situation after taking the medicine."
Guo Xintong finally took the prescription doubtfully and said: "In that case, let's take it and see!"
