It's a hot day in July.

Xiao Yan was already sweating when he walked from Jingyuan to Chenghe Courtyard, and he was still wearing a mask on his face under the scorching sun, but he felt that the sweat was sticky on his face.

Today is the fourteenth day, the day of the pharmacy class, and the ice basin has been placed in the West Pavilion downstairs in the inner courtyard.

Xiao Yan let out a long breath when he entered the house, raised his hand and hurriedly took off the mask and held it in his hand.

took off his boots and entered, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Shen Qingyi sitting on the mat, plain clothes and black hair, and his eyes were cold, like ice and snow.

Xiao Yan's whole body was cool.

"Sister-in-law has been waiting for a long time?" She stepped forward and saluted.

"Just for a while." Shen Qingyi put down the scroll, raised his eyes and glanced at her, the bright color swept under his cold eyes, and his eyelashes drooped, "Seventeen faces are like the morning glow." There was teasing in her clear voice.

Xiao Yan had a bitter face, "The clouds are steaming and the clouds are steaming." ”

The corners of Shen Qingyi's lips hooked, "Let's go change clothes first." ”

"Well, I'll come over and say hello to my sister-in-law." Xiao Yan said with a smile, put on his mask again and walked out.

Xiao Cong arranged a place for her to rest in Chenghe Courtyard, which is located at the junction of the outer south building and the inner west building, separated by an upstairs courtyard with three rooms, and an upstairs small patio, surrounded by lush potted plants and seasonal flower pots, which is the most comfortable guest room in the front yard. The middle of the three rooms is a bedroom, the west room is a bath room, and the east room is a study, but it is useless for the time being.

Because of the hot and sweaty weather in summer, she has to bathe and change clothes every time she comes from Qingningyuan, and the bath room always prepares warm water for washing her face and hot water for bathing in a timely manner, and the water temperature in the bath bucket is just right, which is to pinch her to come over and prepare for it.

Xiao Yan didn't let the maid serve, locked the door of the bathroom from the inside, and washed first. Next to the copper basin stands a sandalwood towel shelf, and on the middle of the tray is a glass bowl containing bath beans.

This bath bean is not a bean, but a few kinds of beans with almonds, angelica, poria, rose petals, etc. ground into powder, which is specially used by the scholars to clean their faces and hands and bathe, which can make the skin fair and delicate. The high-grade bath beans are like fat jade, and it is said that after use, "the color is as white as snow for ten days, and the color is like clotted fat for thirty days", which is very popular with your family. But this kind of bath beans is expensive, not ordinary eunuchs can afford to use it, only the family has a standing stock, and in some more luxurious scholar families, even after changing clothes, the hands are cleaned with this kind of high-quality bath beans.

Xiao Yan also used this kind of bath bean in Qingning Courtyard. In her eyes, this thing was ordinary—there was no comparison, and Jewel was ordinary.

She poured the bath beans in the glass bowl into the left basin, washed them with water, cleaned them in the right basin, and wiped her face dry with a towel. Then he turned around the wide three-curved screen, quickly undressed, and stepped into the tub with his feet. The diameter of the bath bucket is about six feet, and it is divided into two halves from the middle with a cork board, and the bath beans have been put into the left half of the bath bucket.

Within a moment, Xiao Yan finished bathing, took the spare clean underwear, wide clothes and socks from the closet, changed into clogs, and went downstairs to the inner courtyard.

Entered the middle door, entered the inner courtyard, walked into the upper room corridor under the north building with a refreshing body, entered the West Pavilion, took off the mask, and the face after the bath was still routed, and the face was like a peach, as if the cool pavilion was also rendered a little crimson.

Red Peony was dumbfounded.

Qinghui lowered her eyes for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she lowered her eyelids, and stretched out her elbow to slap the red peony.

Shen Qingyi's cold eyes seemed to be stained with a hint of crimson, and his eyes became a little warm, "Seventeen can remember all the thirteen veins?" ”

Xiao Yan responded: "Remember, please ask my sister-in-law to take the test." ”

Shen Qingyi said a relatively simple pulse and asked her what her symptoms were.

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and replied.

Shen Qingyi said another pulse.

Xiao Yan thought about it and replied again.

Shen Qingyi said a more complex pulse.

Xiao Yan thought about it for a long time, and after thinking about it for a long time, he replied.

It's harder and harder each time.

Xiao Yan made many mistakes.

Shen Qingyi is not difficult for her, just in moderation.

- Xiao Seventeen is smart and hardworking, but his talent is not in the medical way, and it is enough to learn three or four points.

"The pulse count is acceptable. Learn to cut the pulse today. She told Chi Peony to come over.

Chi Shao knelt opposite Xiao Yan, stretched out his right hand and rested on it, his left hand rolled up his sleeves, revealing a white wrist, his face was slightly sideways, he was a little nervous, and he didn't dare to face Xiao Yan head-on.

When Xiao Yan watched "Pulse Number Collection", he cut the pulse for his mother, Qi Niang, and Shang Qi, and there was Qi Niang on the side to point out, and he had some sense of proportion in his heart.

Chi Shao looked sideways ahead, and Xiao Yan's delicate and graceful jaw could be clearly seen out of the corner of his eye. Her heart was inexplicably nervous, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her whole body was focused on her wrist. She could feel the thin calluses on the tips of her fingers, as if there was a tingling sensation from the calluses through her wrists and all the way to her heart.

She hung her head, her face turned red, and even the tips of her small ears were red, like a bright coral bead, beautiful and lovely.

Shen Qingyi frowned imperceptibly.

The four big maids beside her have all reached the age of marriage, and they should consider Xu Ren.

She married from the Shen family, naturally there were maids and maids, all of whom were prepared for her by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu, many of whom were prepared for Xiao Cong's concubines, and most of the daughters in the family were like this, Shen Qingyi didn't have any idea about this, but how could she believe the people picked by the Lu family? It is better to choose a beautiful maid from the Xiao Mansion than to use the people given by the Lu family, that is, to send things away in the future.

But Bai Su Siwen will not give Xiao Cong, the person who serves her must be wholeheartedly devoted to her, once she is contaminated with Lang Jun, no matter how loyal the maid is, she will have a different heart.

She doesn't have such people around her.

Since she wants to be trusted, Shen Qingyi plans to choose suitable people in the mansion to match them, the Xiao family's subordinates, the housekeepers, and the guards are the first candidates she considers, and she can become her arm after marrying.

I had planned to keep them for another year or two, but now it seems that I had to think about it early.

She was secretly thinking, so she heard Xiao Yan say in a loud voice: "Why is the pulse beating fast?" ”

Red peony's face was even redder, and her head hung down to her chest.

Shen Qingyi's cold eyes sank, and he said, "Okay." ”

Chi Shao withdrew his hand, and fled as if retreating, hanging his head and standing behind his master.

Xiao Yan was stunned, he hadn't finished cutting yet.

Shen Qingyi's voice was cold, "How is the pulse?" ”

Xiao Yan's face was embarrassed, "I haven't come out yet......"

Shen Qingyi was amused in his heart, but his face was cold, and he asked Chi Shao to call Xiao Chengyi, the guard of the middle gate, over to call him.

Xiao Chengyi's body is vigorous and his pulse is strong, Xiao Yan can easily cut the pulse, and his two fingers move according to time.

Xiao Chengyi sat up straight, and his thick eyebrows also showed a bit of cowardice on his face.

Shen Qingyi was a little speechless, considering whether Xiao Yan should be allowed to wear a mask.

After cutting the pulse, she instructed Xiao Chengyi to go down, and did not ask Xiao Yanche how the pulse was, but asked her: "What is the difference between the two pulses before and after?" ”

Xiao Yan thought for a while and said, "The anterior pulse is weak, small and weak. The back vein is large and powerful. ”

"This is the difference between men and women. Seventeen beginners, you need to first understand the difference between the ulnar pulse and the inch pulse. ”

Xiao Yan said with a blank face: "I only feel that one is strong and one is weak, and no matter how thin it is, I can't tell the difference." ”

"The pulse of men and women is opposite," Shen Qingyi said in a cold voice, "If a woman's yin qi is strong and yang qi is weak, the ulnar pulse is strong, and it is big and powerful, and if it is weak, it is small and weak." Men are strong in yang and weak in yin, and their pulses are strong and bulky, and they are weak and weak. ”

She paused for a moment, and then said: "There are also inches, left and right are divided into yin and yang, the left belongs to yang and the right belongs to yin, so men cut the left side, and women cut the right side - the left side of the man is very suitable, and the right side of the woman is very suitable." However, in the case of uncertain pulses, the left and right pulses need to be cut at the same time. ”

Xiao Yan thought, in this way, if she is sick, she must cut the right side, otherwise cutting the left side like a man will cause the symptoms to be reversed, so wouldn't the medication aggravate the condition? She was silent in her heart, and secretly thought that it was wise for her to pester her fourth sister-in-law to study medicine.

She was vigilant again, she must not let Shen Qingyi give her a pulse, otherwise, with her medical skills, she might be able to detect her abnormalities just by cutting the pulse, which would be bad!
