Chapter 55 The Prescription for Fetal Protection
When Nianyun was two months pregnant, she vomited very badly. It's almost to the point where you vomit whatever you eat, and you have to vomit bile.
Hui Niang's belly is getting bigger and bigger, she is a few months longer than Nianyun, but the fetus is sitting very steadily.
Li Chunyin specially sent someone to ask Hui Niang if she used any recipe to protect the fetus, or if she had any special tips.
Since this Hui Niang was pregnant, she has been favored by Nianyun, and Li Chun is tired of being in Yiqiu Palace whenever she has time, and she doesn't come to see her. She pretended to be sick several times, and Li Chun only called Liang to come once, and then she simply called other doctors, so that she was pregnant, but she seemed to have fallen out of favor, and she hadn't even seen Li Chun's face a few times.
I was going to instigate the Ji family to find a reason to see Li Chun in the name of Ning'er, but the Ji family is soft, and he has been admonished before, and seeing that Nianyun is not bad for Ning'er, he is not willing to cooperate with Hui Niang.
Hui Niang was very unhappy, but she was still patient, took out her own money to buy fresh game in Dongshi, bought a table of banquets, and sent a little maid to invite Li Chun.
After a while, the little maid went back and forth: "The king of the county said that Mrs. has not been able to sleep well at night recently...... That's it. ”
Hui Niang was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth and said, "Clumsy tongue, won't you say that the recipe for the fetus needs to be told to the county king in person!" If the lady is not feeling well, she should find a doctor, can the king of the county treat her, or can he bring tea and water? Could it be that the king of the county has become her minion? ”
After Hui Niang finished scolding, she called another clever maid, taught her rhetoric in person, and went to invite Li Chun.
This time, the maid did not fail in her mission, and really invited Li Chun over.
Hui Niang watched from afar, and hurriedly greeted her, and changed into a flattering smile like a trick,
Slowly saluted, and smiled: "The concubine is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and the husband is here......"
Li Chun stretched out his hand to help her: "You are heavy, so you don't have to salute." ”
Hui Niang responded, and said: "I heard that Mrs. has not been able to eat in recent days, and the king of the county naturally can't eat well." I've got some game today, so I might as well use it with my husband. ”
Li Chun said: "I have to go to her side at night." The game is too fishy, and she vomits so badly, and I still don't stick it, so don't eat more. ”
Hui Niang took out her usual gentleness and coquettishly said: "Since Mrs. has a body, my husband has always been over there, and Lilac and I haven't seen our husband for a while......"
Li Chun seemed to love her before, but it was just to think of Yun Douqi, but now when he looks at her, he feels more and more unsightly, so he is displeased, and said: "There is a difference between wives and concubines, do you have something to say about this!" ”
Hui Niang hurriedly smiled: "Where does the concubine dare to have such an idea, it's just that the king of the county has always been served by me and Lilac, I'm afraid that the lady is young and doesn't know whether it's hot or cold, so I'm thinking about it all the time!" ”
Li Chun said: "You put your heart in your belly, so that you can take care of the heirs in your womb." It's only been a few years since you came to the East Palace, could it be that no one knows whether I've been in the East Palace since I started? I ask you, what is your recipe like, and I have to come and get it myself? ”
Hui Niang was robbed, and her face was very unbearable, but she had to change the topic: "It's a small remedy from the hometown of the old mothers, and I'm afraid that the maids will not be able to relay it correctly, so I said that I called the county king to listen." ”
"What little remedies?"
The old nurse walked in tremblingly, holding a tray in her hand, and a bowl of brown-green medicinal juice in it, I don't know what it was.
Hui Niang said: "Let's put it aside, I'll drink it later, you first tell the king of the county how this recipe is." ”
The old nurse saluted and said with a smile: "Our girl is a blessed one, and the old body kept more when she dispensed medicine, and prepared to hold the two for three years." This thing is also rare, if the lady also wants to use it, the old body only frying one more pair at a time, what does it cost the king of the county? ”
Li Chun was impatient and said, "What do you want in Yiqiu Palace, but you tell me, how is it a rare method?" ”
The old nurse said: "Things are not rare, but trivial. Mrs. fetal image is unstable and vomits badly, mostly because the physique is originally yin deficiency, and the child in the womb is pure yang, and the yin and yang are not in harmony, so the mother and son are restrained. ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of grassy paper from his bosom, and saw that it was written:
On the day of the vernal equinox, there are one or two spring flowers with rain
On the day of the summer solstice, there are one or two lotus flowers with dew
On the day of the autumn equinox, there are one or two chrysanthemums with frost
On the day of the winter solstice, one or two plum blossoms with snow
The three coins of cypress leaves on the grave on the day of Qingming
The pine needles of the sun on the first day of the day are three coins
Licorice three money
Li Chun said: "According to what you say, although a few things are not rare, it will take at least a year to complete this dose of medicine?" ”
The old nurse patted her hand: "Isn't it!" This herb is like this, and the decoction method is also the most tricky, and ordinary people don't know how to decoction when they get it. It takes 20 years to dust the window lattice, take six bowls of spring water from the stones on the mountain, burn it to two boils, fry it slowly to three bowls, and filter it through the eight-layer cotton yarn produced in Jiangnan before you can take it! ”
Li Chun frowned and said, "Your recipe is very strange, but is there any truth?" ”
The old nurse said: "The king of the county is a person who understands, and the old body can also listen to the older generation, and I will listen to you." The four seasonal flowers are the essence of spring, summer, autumn and winter; The cypress leaves of Qingming, the pine needles of the Yuan Day, are a dead life; The dust on the window lattice is the purest thing in the world, absorbing the harmony of the family; The mountain spring water in the stone absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, and is the essence of mountains and rivers; Licorice is the best at harmonizing various medicines, making them yin and yang complement each other and work together. Although this recipe is not rare, it is all-encompassing, and it is the best at harmonizing yin and yang, so it is the most effective in treating pregnant women with yin deficiency and imbalance. ”
Li Chun brought the medicine bowl over and took a closer look, it was pure and there was no trace of dregs, which showed that it was indeed filtered with good cotton yarn. Smell the smell, a slight floral fragrance and the spicy aroma of pine and cypress. He tasted it a little with the tip of his tongue, it was sweet and astringent, but it was not unpleasant.
Hearing that she also had some truth, Li Chun stood up: "In this way, I will send a bowl to Yiqiu Palace every day, if it is good, I will have a heavy reward." ”
When Li Chun left, only Hui Niang and the old nurse were left in the house, and Hui Niangfang asked: "Didn't I ask someone to prepare a recipe for a safe pregnancy, why did my mother change again?" ”
The old nurse smiled and squinted her eyes to eat, and the folds on her face could almost kill flies. After laughing for a while, he said, "It's old nonsense." Since the woman is pregnant, which one does not vomit, it will be fine after the threshold of March, and the partial girl vomited badly at that time and no one cares, she called the king of the county so nervous, looking hateful! ”
Hui Niang covered her mouth and smiled: "It's still my mother who has an idea." However, if it really goes bad, we won't be able to eat and walk......"
The old nurse said: "What are you afraid of, it's just some flowers and plants randomly found in the garden that are boiled indiscriminately, and the weight is light." I see that her body is not weak, if there is really something wrong, it is that she herself does not have that life, and she can't complain about us! ”
Not long after, the decoction had been sent to Yiqiu Palace, and the person who delivered the medicine only said that Li Chun ordered someone to send it, telling her to drink it while it was hot.
Nianyun didn't suspect it, and ordered the green pothos to fetch two honey-stained dates, and then picked up the bowl and brought it to his mouth.
I haven't swallowed a mouthful, but I suddenly smelled the pungent smell of the pine and cypress, and felt uncomfortable, so I spit it out in one bite, and spit out a little bird's nest porridge that I had eaten before.
Fennel hurriedly wiped and changed her clothes, and complained, "Where did the king get this strange thing!" ”
Nianyun frowned, muttered a little in his heart, and asked where the king of the county went today, and the maid said that she went to Hui Niang's side, so she had an extra heart and ordered someone to call Liang to serve the doctor.
Doctor Liang looked at the medicinal juice carefully, tasted a little more with a small spoon, and said, "I think what kind of home remedies, there are some flowers and leaves in it, all of which focus on clearing heat and detoxifying." According to the humble opinion of the little old child, although the folk remedies have many miraculous effects, the good and bad effects of the medicine are also divided into people, and each person's constitution may have different effects, so it is not appropriate to take them indiscriminately. ”
Nianyun nodded: "That's right." You don't have to tell anyone about today. ”
Doctor Liang naturally knew about the bends in the East Palace, but he didn't want to break it, so he only said: "Your girl's physical foundation is not bad, but her physique is slightly cold, so that the liver and blood are deficient, the liver qi is over, and the qi is reversed, so the spleen and stomach are out of harmony." A woman's pregnancy is inherently dangerous, and it is a three-point poison, and it is best to use less medicine. ”
Nianyun understood, and said: "I also think so, if there is any more way, I will definitely send it to the doctor first." ”
This Imperial Doctor Liang carefully examined Nian Yun and said: "Mrs. Jun has just been thinking a lot lately, and she has eaten too little, and the subordinates think that Mrs. Jun has just begun to react, whether it is a home remedy or a prescription, she is not in a hurry to use it." ”
Imperial Doctor Liang nodded, thought about it again, stroked his beard and said, "There are many things in this world that are not within the reach of medicinal stones. Let's think about what I liked to eat most in my mother's house before, why don't I call my mother's cook and make something that suits the taste, it's better than drinking those bitter medicines. ”
Nian Yun was slightly stunned. He was right, in fact, she had been thinking of Aunt Wei's flavor dishes a lot lately.
Aunt Wei's family usually used to cook from Chudi, stir-frying vegetables with a lot of dogwood, tempeh or perilla. Chang'an is rich in products and has a variety of dishes, but it is not to her taste.
However, the road is far away and the mountains are high, and I am afraid that it will only take a month or two to go back and forth, and I am afraid that some of the good cooks who want to find a good cook in Chu are too exciting, so I have to sigh with joy.
Unexpectedly, when I had dinner the next day, there was a perilla fish on the table, and minced ginger and garlic were added, the color and aroma were almost exactly the same as those eaten in Yangzhou before, and there were some Ulva dishes that Chu Di liked to eat.
Nian Yun didn't feel that his index finger moved, and one person actually ate the whole fish, and perilla with ginger was the recipe for nausea, so he didn't vomit after eating.
Nianyun was very surprised, and hurriedly asked who made the meal, only to know that it was the Chu chef that Li Chun specially found from the West Market, and it must have been Yuzhu and Chonglou who said that he knew.
Although she finally set up a frugal rule, and as a result, Li Chun mobilized the crowd for her like this, but that warm current slowly penetrated into her internal organs in her heart. You can easily eat the familiar taste every day, and your mood becomes very pleasant.
