Chapter 50: Gua Sha

After a while, Mei Xiang came over with the copper coins and medicinal oil that Jiang Ruonan needed. Jiang Ruonan asked Mei Xiang again to bring water and wash his hands. Two copper coins were sterilized with spirits.

Liu Zijin watched her every move from the side, and asked curiously, "Mrs. Hou, what are you going to do here?" ”

Jiang Ruonan looked back at him and smiled, "This is gua sha!" Looking at his puzzled look, Jiang Ruonan knew that there was no scraping in this world. Then let her be the founder!

"Gua sha? What is that? Liu Zijin was dumbfounded

Jiang Ruonan intended to show off in front of Liu Zitong to make her more confident in herself, so she patiently explained to Liu Zijin: "Doctor Liu, let's put it this way, people's diseases are generally because of poison and evil entering the body, blocking the veins of the human body, blocking the qi and blood, and making the flow of qi and blood not smooth. The toxin is then excreted from the body, which can relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, and achieve the purpose of treatment. This is gua sha! ”

There is a very detailed description of the principle of gua sha in the health book, but Jiang Ruonan doesn't have such a good ability to memorize it word for word, so he can only say such things according to his own understanding. But Liu Zijin, as an imperial doctor, is thorough from a point, and the doctor's pursuit and exploration of medical skills are endless, and the scraping that Jiang Ruonan said quickly aroused his interest

His eyes lit up and he said: "Mrs. Hou's words are very reasonable, but I don't know what the effect is, today is just an eye-opener!" ”

Liu Zitong saw Jiang Ruonan's confident appearance, and saw that her brother seemed to agree with what she said, and what was even more strange was that the method she proposed didn't even seem to know her brother, which made her very puzzled, and muttered in her heart, could it be that Jiang Ruolan is really a hidden apricot forest master?

Jiang Ruonan smiled and said to Liu Zijin: "I can't satisfy this wish of Imperial Doctor Liu today, because I have to get a wide coat for Miss Liu's scraping today." ”

Liu Zijin said with some regret: "Even so, I have to avoid it!" He turned and walked out.

After Liu Zijin went out, Jiang Ruonan asked Mei Xiang to help untie Liu Zitong's shirt, revealing his back. Liu Zitong pondered in his heart, "Jiang Ruonan, you won't be tricking me in a different way!" ”

Jiang Ruonan asked her to turn her back, and at the same time snorted coldly and said, "You think I'm very idle, I deliberately came to your house to trick you, besides, my note is still in your hands, what are you afraid of?" ”

Liu Zitong is young and can't be provoked, "I'm not afraid, anyway, if you don't cure my illness, I'll show you the notes you wrote!" ”

Jiang Ruonan smiled, he was really a child. She turned her face to look at her back, which was bulging with bones and barely flesh.

Jiang Ruonan couldn't help but say: "What a girl, how can you make yourself look like this, you haven't eaten well, what's so good about being skinny?" ”

"Who is it all because of? You're embarrassed to say it! Liu Zitong said hatefully.

"I didn't let you eat."

"If it were you, would you still be able to eat?" Liu Zitong's voice was a little crying.

Jiang Ruonan was speechless for a moment.

She didn't say anything anymore, dipped some medicinal oil in copper coins and began to scrape the midline of her back and the bladder meridians on both sides of her back, scraping the liver acupoints, spleen acupoints, stomach acupoints, Sanjiao acupoints, and kidney acupoints. After only two scrapes, Liu Zitong began to exhale pain.

"What is this for? It hurts to death! ”

Jiang Ruonan's strength in his hand did not decrease, and he said softly: "You bear with it, it will be better soon." We said okay, you have to do what I say, and you can't go back. ”

After a few more scrapes, purple-red marks appeared on the snow-white skin, and Mei Xiang next to her suddenly shouted: "You have injured the young lady!" ”

Liu Zitong was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Mei Xiang, what's wrong?" Mei Xiang hurriedly took a bronze mirror and showed her at the back, "Miss, your back is purple!" ”

Liu Zitong turned his head and saw the purple silver on his back from the mirror, and immediately shouted: "I knew you didn't have a good heart, stop!" Then he cried and called his brother.

Liu Zijin heard his sister's cry outside and hurriedly asked what was going on, Mei Xiang ran over and told him Jiang Ruonan's evil deeds with an angry face.

Jiang Ruonan explained to Liu Zijin through the window: "Imperial Doctor Liu, just now I said that some red marks are poison, which is a normal phenomenon, no fuss!" ”

Liu Zijin pondered for a while, and already understood the truth, so he persuaded his sister outside: "Zitong, don't worry, do what Mrs. Hou said." ”

Jiang Ruonan walked up to Liu Zitong and snorted coldly: "The invincible world I said just now turned out to be a coward after all!" ”

Liu Zitong was extremely angry, turned his head and glared at her: "Okay, Jiang Ruonan, you do it, I want to see what you are capable of!" Then he gritted his teeth and said no more.

After Jiang Ruonan scraped her back, she scraped the Zhongji acupoint, Guan Yuan, and Qi Hai three acupoints in her lower abdomen, and scraped the blood sea on her lower limbs, Sanyin Jiao, Zhaohai and other acupoints, and the whole set of actions was just a cup of tea.

Occasionally, she will also talk to Liu Zitong.

"Miss Liu, in fact, I wanted to apologize to you when I came today, but at that time I was ignorant and willful, which caused Miss to suffer so much."

Liu Zitong sneered: "I didn't expect you to apologize too, but, if I make you like this and apologize to you again, will you accept it?" Then the mouth flattened, and the tears rolled down again, "I know, people outside are laughing at me now." ”

"You're wrong, how can they laugh at you, and laugh at me if you want to laugh. You don't know, many people have blamed me for this, and some people don't invite me to a banquet at home! A large part of Liu Zitong's illness is due to heart disease, and only by relieving her mood can her illness be fundamentally cured.

"Really?" Liu Zitong is young and doesn't have so many eyes, so it is easy to believe Jiang Ruonan's words. She looked at Jiang Ruonan, thinking that she had also been punished for this, and felt a little better in her heart, "You were too much at the time, I just didn't show you my puppet, and you pushed me into the water." Do you know that the doll was brought to me by my brother when he went to the frontier, how could I play with it, and what if you broke it? ”

"Zitong, I didn't mean to push you into the water at that time, I just ...... I'm just jealous of you! ”

"Jealous of me?" Liu Zitong was surprised, she Jiang Ruolan was deeply favored by the first emperor and the queen mother, why was she jealous of her, the daughter of a five-grade official.

Liu Zijin outside the window also showed a puzzled look.

Jiang Ruonan recalled Jiang Ruolan's state of mind at that time, and said softly: "My father and mother are gone, and there are no brothers and sisters, although the queen mother and the first emperor love me, but it is different, how good you are, you have a father and mother who hurt, and brother love, and you look as beautiful as a flower, you don't know, when you took the doll to show off when your brother bought it for you, how red I was, I wanted to come and see, but you didn't give it, I was very annoyed, I did that kind of thing under excitement, I regretted it the moment I saw you fall into the water, but I don't know what the reason is, I just don't want to admit my mistakes......"

Liu Zitong listened to her words, and she didn't say anything for a long time, but the depression in her heart was invisibly relieved a lot, this is a very normal psychology, she thought she was already miserable, but listening to Jiang Ruonan's words, she felt that she had no father and mother, and she didn't love her brother, it seemed to be even worse. When you see others worse than yourself, you always feel more comfortable in your heart.

After a long time, Liu Zitong spoke softly: "Jiang Ruolan, don't think that if you say so, I will forgive you!" ”

Liu Zijin, who was outside the window, heard Jiang Ruonan's words, and his heart felt as if he was blocked by something, and he was a little uncomfortable, and this feeling of soreness lasted for a long time and did not dissipate.

Regarding the origin of gua sha, I took a look at Baidu, "The exact age of its invention and the inventor are difficult to verify." The earliest record of this treatment was the Yuan Dynasty physician Wei Yilin's "World Doctor Prescription" written in 1337 AD, "So I assume that there was no gua sha therapy in this era.
