Chapter Thirty-Six: A Lonely Village Full of Wisdom [1]

Zhu Yan was silent, staring at the place where her fingers were rubbed with a pair of big smart eyes, and after a while, she asked, "Did my aunt ever have a very severe wind chill, and it took a long time to cure?" ”

Lin Shi's good-looking apricot eyes rolled, stared at Zhu Yan in surprise, and after a while, smiled softly, "Your uncle has long heard that you have studied medical skills recently...... I contracted this headache more than 10 years ago while fleeing from the capital. At that time, there was no time to ask for medical treatment, so it was delayed again and again, and now, it is like this. ”

Speaking of the war and dislocation in the past, a little resentment was aroused in her clear eyes, but when Zhu Yan looked closely, it seemed that there was nothing left.

"This is the headache of the Yang Ming Sutra, Zhu Yan is shallow and sparse, and it can't be cured, but maybe there is a way to alleviate it." Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, since his mother has a good relationship with this second uncle, then he naturally wants to curry favor with him, besides, in the name of it, he is called "hanging pot to help the world".

In fact, listening to Lin's story, Zhu Yan already understood that Lin's cold was not cured in time that year, and turned into sinusitis, so he was tired and had pain in his cheeks and eyebrow bones. As for what Yangming Jing headache, Chinese medicine does have this saying, but she is not a major in acupuncture, but she knows a rough idea, and she brings up this name just to make herself look more convincing.

Lin was quite interested in Zhu Yan's self-recommendation, and asked with a smile: "Ah Yan, what is the method?" ”

Seeing that her title was getting closer and closer, Zhu Yan couldn't help but be secretly happy, and immediately rubbed his fingers more enthusiastically, carefully rubbing the Yingxiang point next to Lin's nose through the handkerchief. After a while, the maid on the side understood her technique, and hurriedly said, "The slaves and maids will come and rub it for the lady, and the girl will rest." ”

Zhu Yan didn't dare to be too arrogant, smiled and withdrew his hand, turning his head to look at the layout of this Rongxuan Hall.

She and Xu Suzhen came in from the west side, the house sat south and faced north, there was a large garden in the courtyard, and on the east side was a rockery located in the lake.

Speaking of the arrangement of this courtyard, it is similar to the famous garden that Zhu Yan saw in his previous life. The rockery verandah, the carved windows and cave doors, the delicate and intricate carved flowers, the bluestone steps of the water mill, and the little banana or orchid grass under the window all make people feel as if they have returned to the misty ancient Suzhou, walking slowly in those small and exquisite gardens.

But when he turned his head, the layout inside Rongxuan Hall was a little different.

The room in front of it has two floors, with a generous layout, blue tile powder walls, and a partition hole, which does not have the hazy beauty of Jiangnan at all. In the sparse bamboo soft curtain hanging outside the window, a few laughs came from time to time, and it was the voice of a girl, as crisp and moving as a yellow warbler on the branch.

"Sure enough, it's much better, Ah Yan is so skillful." Lin Shi's surprised and relieved voice suddenly interrupted Zhu Yan's wait-and-see, "Fourth cousin Quanxia has knowledge, and he can rest assured." ”

Zhu Yan's eyebrows jumped slightly, no wonder Lin had such a good attitude towards himself, it turned out that he and Zhu Heng were also relatives. But for a girl like her, who is dizzy when she encounters a seniority, it seems that it will not be easier to figure these things out than to memorize the route of the twelve meridians.

Seeing Zhu Yan's well-behaved appearance, Lin's eyebrows became softer and softer, and he called a maid beside him, "Bai Ping, you accompany Miss Zhu to the second floor, several young ladies are there, Ah Yan has been sick for a long time, I think the sisters are unfamiliar, you introduce her." ”

The maid walked out in response and bowed slightly to Zhu Yan, "Girl, please come with me." ”

"Uncle, what about Mother?" Zhu Yan was a little panicked, she was an impostor, how could it be a problem with those girls and young ladies?

Xu Silk Zhen stepped forward quickly and lowered her voice, "Don't worry, Yanzi, Miss Bai Apple is a sensible person, if you don't know anything, just ask her." ”

Bai Yu listened, lowered her eyebrows, and quietly smiled at Zhu Yan: "Miss Zhu doesn't have to worry, except for the two young ladies in the eldest master's family, the other ladies are all the ladies of the old minister's family in Beijing, and they will not make things difficult again." ”

Zhu Yan had no choice but to follow her through the hall, feeling that there were several amazing gazes around her, Zhu Yan had to try to keep her composure and focus on Bai Apple, who was leading the way in front.

Bai Apple was wearing a pea-green shirt, her hair was combed into a well-behaved bun, and she looked at her head, and she was estimated to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was very calm.

Turning up the stairs, Bai Ping suddenly stopped, turned back and smiled at Zhu Yan, and his voice was very low, "Miss Zhu, can you check the pulse?" ”

"I know a little bit about it." Zhu Yan saw that she was asking strangely, and also stopped, "Is Miss Bai Apple unwell?" ”

Because she knows that most people's impression of Chinese medicine is to diagnose pulses, in the past month, Zhu Yan has worked hard to memorize all 28 kinds of pulses, and now she is only lacking a lot of practice.

Bai Ping's brows frowned, and he suddenly smiled, and said something else, "Miss Zhu, our second lady will get married next month, and Mrs. will definitely invite the girl to be a guest at that time." ”

Zhu Yan flickered, wasn't he still talking about diagnosing the pulse just now? Changing the subject so quickly, faster than flipping through a book.

Before he had walked the entire staircase, he saw a woman in a goose yellow shirt coming over, with a round goose egg face, white and smooth skin, and a faint flush on her face.

"Girl, this is our second young lady Lu Qing, who is three years younger than the girl." Bai Apple really reminded her obediently.

Zhu Yan smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, "Cousin doesn't have to be polite. ”

"Cousin Yan is really getting more and more beautiful, and she must have done a good job in her poetry recently." Xu Yuqing shook it back affectionately, and seemed to be extremely familiar with Zhu Yan in the past.

But when it comes to poetry, Zhu Yan is quite confused, he has been busy reading medical books recently, how can he have the leisure to read those? Not to mention those who compose poems and lyrics, how can you read without a belly of ink?

"Recently, I read some history books, but the poems have been put aside."

Xu Yuqing seemed to be quite surprised, and then smiled with relief, "If you want me to say, my cousin is recovering from a serious illness, so don't bother, it's better to rest first." ”

The two of them entered the room talking and laughing, and there were still nearly ten girls sitting inside, and their respective maids stood aside, colorful people in the room.

As soon as Zhu Yan stepped into the threshold, he felt that a malicious gaze fell on him, and he couldn't help but look up.

PS: Regarding the 28 kinds of pulses, [Jin] Wang Shuhe's "Pulse Meridian" was subdivided into 24 pulses, [Ming] Li Shizhen's "Pulse Science near the Lake" was increased to 27 pulses, and it was not until [Ming] Li Zhongzi's "Diagnosis of the Family's Right Eye" that it was increased to 28 pulses.
