Chapter 38 The Role of Moxibustion

The eldest lady Hao glanced at Gu Chongyang and did not speak.

Since she wants to come out, let her come out, in case something happens, it will all be pushed on Mrs. Lu and Gu Chongyang. Anyway, I said what I should have said, and I did what I should have done.

Thinking about it like this, the eldest lady calmed down and was not in a hurry.

Li Yuanju was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "As a doctor, he treats the sick and saves people, and he is anxious about the patient's urgency and pains the patient's pain." I want to get a needle, purely for the good of Mrs. Lu. Why did it come to your mouth and become that I was going to harm Mrs. Lu? How unreasonable! ”

"Judge Li, I know you are for the good of Mrs. Lu." Gu Chongyang was not arrogant or impatient: "But facial paralysis doesn't necessarily have to use needles to pass through the meridians, we can also use other methods." ”

"Something else! You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk. Li Yuanju's face turned red with anger, and his voice was raised a few degrees: "Needle prick is the best way, if you just take medicine, I'm afraid it will take a few months." In case the situation becomes more and more severe, it will not help to prick needles in the future. Tell me, what else is there to do! ”

"Moxibustion is possible." Gu Chongyang said: "Moxibustion can warm the yang and dispel the cold and pass through the meridians, and it can also treat Mrs. Lu's facial paralysis." ”

"Since Miss Gu knows moxibustion, why do you want to ask me to treat Mrs. Lu?" Li Yuan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode: "Inviting me here and not letting me diagnose and treat me is purely a waste of my time." The method of moxibustion has long been eliminated, and only the peddlers who cannot afford to hire a doctor will pick wormwood to smoke moxibustion to cure diseases. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but it also has little effect. ”

Yuan Li snorted coldly and said, "Since Miss Gu obstructed Mrs. Lu's treatment in every possible way, and said that moxibustion can cure facial paralysis, then Miss Gu should treat it." I am only shallow in the next class, and I will not be accompanied. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the imperial doctor to carry the medicine box, and left with the medicine box himself.

The eldest lady Hao hurriedly caught up. Gu Chongyang has offended people, she has to get things back.

To put it mildly, Li Yuanju was finally willing to accept the consultation fee, and said: "Mrs. Qingyang Hou, I will say something arrogant and rude, this fourth lady in your mansion is really unruly, you should also discipline it well." If she is like this, I am afraid that the days of trouble are still to come. ”

"That's what Court Li said." The eldest lady said helplessly: "After all, she is a niece who is separated from the room, not her own daughter, so I can't manage it even if I want to." In the end, her mother was only a merchant, and her knowledge and etiquette were very limited, and for so many years, she was only born to her, so it was inevitable that she would be overly doted. Today's incident, it is indeed her who collided with you, and Li Yuan sentenced not to be like a child. ”

Li Yuan heard it and sneered: "It turned out to be a merchant girl, no wonder it is different from ordinary ladies." It's not easy for Mrs. to be in charge, forget about today's matter, after all, it's not Madame's fault. Mrs. Lu and Miss Four are the culprits. Madame, wait, Mrs. Lu has a time to regret it. ”

The original purpose of the eldest lady was to keep herself from offending people, and when she heard what Li Yuan said, her heart was put in her stomach.

"Mrs. Lu is just confused for a while, and when she comes back in a few days, she will naturally ask Li Yuan to make a judgment." She said a few perfunctory words, and then asked her subordinates to send the two of them out of the house.

Gu Chongyang had already appeased Mrs. Lu, and she decided to give Mrs. Lu moxibustion in person.

Maybe she was too afraid of needles, but Mrs. Lu agreed.

I don't know what to do! I really think of myself as a doctor.

The eldest lady Hao sneered in her heart, but her face was not obvious at all: "Chongyang, what do you need, just tell the eldest aunt." Mrs. Lu's illness, please leave it to you. ”

She was originally afraid that Gu Chongyang would delay Mrs. Lu's illness and implicate the Qingyang Marquis Mansion. But after calming down just now, she was suddenly not afraid. Not only is he not afraid of not being blocked, but he wants to try his best to promote Gu Chongyang's limelight.

How old are the four girls, how can they be doctors?

The more she treats, the more severe Mrs. Lu's illness will be. When Mrs. Lu's condition deteriorated, the Lu family would never give up, and at that time, they would push Sifang out to be a scapegoat.

The old lady is probably thinking about taking care of the four rooms at the moment, but she has no chance, and it is not good to have no purpose. Now that Gu Chongyang is so nonsense, isn't he just handing the handle to the old lady?

The eldest lady Hao's heart crackled, but the look on her face was as kind as ever.

She is different from her mother-in-law, Mrs. Ge, after all, Mrs. Ge was born in a declining aristocracy, and she is a young lady who is a concubine, and her temperament and scheming are very limited.

The eldest lady is a noble lady and cherishes feathers. In front of outsiders, she always looks reasonable, open-minded and amiable, and I don't know how many people are deceived by her kind disguise.

In the past life and this life, Gu Chongyang has never recognized the true face of the eldest lady, and after listening to the words of the eldest lady at this moment, she was overjoyed, and she didn't have time to consider the cause and effect, so she said gratefully: "Thank you, aunt, I only need good mugwort leaves here, preferably old mugwort leaves, this year's new leaves are not easy to use, please let people buy three catties back." I would like to thank my aunt in advance. ”

Her gratitude was genuine, because at last someone believed that she could heal.

"Okay." The eldest lady Hao Shi agreed: "I'll buy it from someone." Mrs. Lu, you sisters here are so watching, the old lady is not far away, so I will go over. The last sentence was said to Gu Chongyang and Gu Chongfang.

The two sisters responded in unison, and the eldest lady Hao took the maid away.

As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, she instructed the people around her: "The fourth young lady is messing around and wants to treat Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu is actually letting her, which is really worrying." When you get to the old lady, you pretend not to know, don't reveal the news, don't be angry with the old lady. Hengzhi waited for the birthday banquet to disperse and the guests left, let's talk slowly to the old lady. ”

The fourth lady was messing around, but the eldest lady not only did not persuade her, but added fuel to the fire. The people who served around her knew that the eldest lady was determined to let Sifang carry this black cauldron.

They understood in their hearts, but they nodded again and again: "What the eldest lady said is that we will never confide half a word." ”

"Hmm." The eldest lady was afraid that they would not understand, so she explained: "Even the fourth lady has to hide it." If she asks, you only say that the doctor in the hospital has already prescribed a prescription and sent someone to grab the medicine. ”

"Yes, slaves and maids understand."

The eldest lady nodded with satisfaction, and went back to the old lady with a smile on her face.

********************

Gu Chongyang helped Mrs. Lu sit down on the Taishi chair, and asked her to raise her head and tilt her face so that she could administer moxibustion by herself.

"Mrs. Lu, moxibustion uses fire, and you may feel hot. If it's not very hot, please be patient. Because the main purpose of moxibustion is to use the heat of moxa fire to force away the cold evil on your face. If you feel uncomfortable and too hot, just tell me. ”

As long as there is no need to prick needles, Mrs. Lu feels that it doesn't matter how hot it is. She nodded.

Gu Chongyang tied the mugwort leaves into a bunch, lit the fire, blew out the flames, and said, "Madam, please close your eyes, beware of mugwort smoke into your eyes." ”

Mrs. Lu did not hesitate and closed her eyes as she said.

Gu Chongyang began to apply acupuncture, starting moxibustion from the back of the left ear, moving the moxa strips left and right along the facial meridians, and moxibustion the entire facial meridians.

Gu Chongyang's moxibustion was very serious, and the room was quiet. Everyone's attention was on Gu Chongyang's body.

Young Grandma Zheng's hands were clenched tightly, and her eyes never left Mrs. Lu. She was afraid that Mrs. Lu would be uncomfortable or have a bad idea.

Lu Shao's grandmother Xia has always carried her heart, and she has never relaxed.

Although they did not speak, their nervous expressions expressed their true thoughts.

They all felt that Gu Chongyang was messing around, and Mrs. Lu, who had always been wise, didn't know what was crazy, so she actually came from the fourth young lady of the Gu family.

In the blink of an eye, the time of the two pillars of incense passed, and Mrs. Lu's face was flushed, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Gu Chongyang finally withdrew his hand and smashed the unburned mugwort into the ashes of the gilded incense burner.

Mrs. Lu opened her eyes, her eyes shone with joy, and her hand unconsciously stroked her face: "No...... Hemp...... Finish. ”

Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the beauty pier under Mrs. Lu, and drank a few sips of Xinyang Maojian.

The fragrant tea soup was swallowed from her lips and teeth into her abdomen, leaving a burst of fragrance, and her entire viscera was ironed.

She was only ten years old, and because she had been holding the Ai Zhu, her wrists had to keep moving back and forth, and her arms were already sore.

In addition, the smoke has been smoking her during moxibustion, but not only can she not close her eyes like Mrs. Lu, but she must also concentrate and not be distracted, otherwise the slightest carelessness will burn the patient. So, her nerves had to be tense.

When she relaxed, she was really tired. I don't even have the strength to speak, just drink some tea and take a break.

After a few sips of tea soup, her spirit improved a lot.

Gu Chongfang hurriedly asked, "Fourth sister, how did you do it?" ”

"Mrs. Lu, this is a facial paralysis where the cold qi invades the face, the qi and blood are not smooth, and the paralysis is not channeled." Gu Chongyang patiently explained: "Mugwort leaves are pure yang grass, moxibustion can warm yang and replenish qi, dispel cold and relieve pain, warm meridians, eliminate stasis and dissipate knots. It is facing Mrs. Lu's illness. ”

"The best thing is that Mrs. Lu is affected by cold evil on her face, and moxibustion directly acts on the part of her face that is affected by cold evil. The temperature of the moxa fire can open the pores of the face and force the evil qi out of the body. If the cold evil is gone, Mrs. Lu's face will naturally be better. ”

"It's just that today I use ordinary Chen wormwood leaves, and the effect of smoke is average, and when I process and concoct mugwort leaves into mugwort pillars this afternoon, the effect of using mugwort pillars tomorrow will be much better than today." Let Madame smoke today, and it will not be like this tomorrow. ”
