It wasn't until late afternoon that Mu Jiaojiao finally asked someone to send a pastry to each courtyard. But this time the amount is pitiful, just enough for children to have a mouthful of addiction, and adults don't have to be delusional at all.

"Lang Jun, young lady, my lady asked us to say sorry for her. Today, the house is too busy, the big kitchen can't be used, and there is only a small stove in our yard, which is still used for frying medicine for my lady on weekdays, making noodles and soup, and I have not had time to do these until now. Although the amount is a little less, it is also made by Sister Hongdou and her mother, ensuring that Xiao Langjun and Xiao Niang will like it. The girl who brought the pastry said.

This humble gesture made people not want to scold her at all, but they had to carefully appease her: "We understand your difficulties, and these are enough...... That's enough. ”

Since they said enough, then in the next few days, Mu Jiaojiao would only ask someone to send such a little as this. And she gave a good reason—since the people in the big kitchen were already complaining, why were they too embarrassed to go over and take up the space, so now they had to cook something in their own yard. In this way, it is time-consuming and laborious, and there is less to make. This is caused by the objective environment, and they can't be blamed. The others were gagged by such words, and they couldn't say anything with their dissatisfaction, so they could only pinch their noses and endure it.

Naturally, this matter can't be hidden from Mrs. Cui's ears.

When she knew that Erlang Jun, Shilang Jun, and Wulang Jun were all complaining in private that Mu Jiaojiao couldn't be a person, she smiled coldly: "At first, they didn't look down on Liulang's daughter-in-law. Now that they have been stimulated by Liulang's daughter-in-law, how good are they? They all say that they eat people with soft mouths and short hands to take people, but they eat other people's things after a long time, and they actually take this for granted? Now that others have only reduced their weight a little, they are pointing at the heavens and scolding the earth, as if they owe them, where is the upbringing of famous and noble women? I feel ashamed of them!"

"Auntie, you are discouraged. They can understand if they are not angry, after all, the purpose of the six brothers and sisters is so obvious, they will naturally be angry when they notice it now. It's just that there is something wrong with this expression, and when they notice it, they will naturally change. Zheng persuaded softly.

"You don't need to say good things for them anymore! Liulang's daughter-in-law's methods are too radical, why don't I know? It's just a few of them that disappoint me even more! One by one, they boast of being from a high family and look down on this and that. Liulang's daughter-in-law was isolated by them as soon as she entered the door, and she still hasn't seen them take the initiative to come to see her, let alone take her to meet people outside. But they will eat what others have sent! If it were me, I would have slapped them in the face and told them to see what virtues they had, and don't think that they are really nobler than her!" Mrs. Cui snorted.

Zheng hurriedly lowered his head. "That's what Auntie said. So, you're planning to make your six siblings do what they want?"

"I've discussed this matter with your uncle since the beginning. Liulang's daughter-in-law is not in good health, her mouth is tricky, and her temperament is still withdrawn, so it will definitely not work if she doesn't build a small kitchen in the yard. It's just that she is a new daughter-in-law, what reason did she use to let her go beyond everyone else to enjoy such treatment in the first place? Originally, I was still having a headache, what should I do, but she had already figured out a way by herself. She helped me solve a big problem, I just pushed the boat down the river, what's so difficult to send a favor to the water?" said Mrs. Cui with a smile.

Only then did Zheng understand - no wonder Mrs. Cui was acting as if she hadn't seen anything these days, and let Mu Jiaojiao do whatever she wanted. It turned out that it wasn't Mu Jiaojiao's nonsense, but she knew that Mrs. Cui acquiesced in this matter in her heart, so she was relieved to let it go!

The wisdom of this sixth brother and sister suddenly made her feel scared.

Mrs. Cui snorted coldly: "It's time for them to learn a lesson." Seeing the pampering of the sky, he really sees himself as superior. The reason why our five surnames and seven families have been able to prosper until now is not because everyone is as arrogant and self-respecting as they are, but because the children work hard and strive for self-improvement, and they never dare to stop their efforts because they feel satisfied with the achievements in front of them!"

As she spoke, she patted Zheng on the shoulder again. "Of course, you and Da Lang are good, they have always been strict with themselves, tolerant of others, and they are also very good to Xiao Lang. But the prosperity of a family can't just rely on the two of you, all the brothers have to work together, and everyone can pick up this pillar together. ”

What A-Niang said was that the daughter-in-law understood. Mrs. Cui's words shocked the Zheng family, and a question mark couldn't help jumping out of her heart - in addition to Da Lang, is it possible that the person who can provoke the family with Da Lang is the sixth elder brother that Aunt and Uncle are looking at now?

These days, there are many complaints outside, but Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu's small life is extraordinarily comfortable.

Eating and basking in the sun every day, it doesn't get any easier than this!

On this day, they were tasting the fresh peach crisp cheese newly made by the red bean mother, and Aunt Zhao suddenly came to the door.

Also coming with her were Aunt Zhu and the fifteenth lady.

"I've seen six brothers, six sisters-in-law. "The fifteenth lady is a shy little lady, born picturesque, very delicate and lovely. This slender waist bends and bends down to salute the small appearance like a willow swinging in the wind, which is particularly cute.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly said: "Fifteen sisters are exempt, sit down!"

After the fifteenth lady thanked her, she found a chair and sat down.

Aunt Zhao was anxious, and after the two sides met the ceremony, she crackled and explained the meaning of today's visit. "When I was in the flower hall that day, the fifteenth lady said, Sixth Young Lady, you should stare at her more. Your eyes have always been so poisonous, is it because she has some disease to stare at her so much?"

"It turns out that Aunt Zhu and the fifteenth elder sister are here for this today?" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Indeed, I stared at the fifteenth elder sister for a while that day." It's just because I think her face is a little weird, and there should be a little bit of a problem. But it's not a big deal, and if it is not treated, it will not affect daily life, but it is just a few days of pain every month, fifteen sister, are you right?"

Hearing her say this, the face of the fifteenth lady changed. Aunt Zhu burst into tears, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Mu Jiaojiao: "The sixth young lady is really right! The fifteenth lady does have a problem, she vomits before menstruation every month, she can't eat, and it's useless to take any medicine." It's been a long time, and it hasn't been cured. Now that you can see it Sixth Young Madame, you must have a good solution, so please help her and let her avoid this pain!"

"Auntie, what are you doing? Get up quickly, aren't you forcing the sixth sister-in-law to treat me?" Seeing this, the fifteenth lady hurriedly came to pull her.

Aunt Zhu made up her mind: "Please show the fifteenth lady the sixth young lady! As long as she can be cured, the concubine will repay your great kindness even if she is a cow and a horse for the rest of her life!"

Aunt Zhu smiled. Fifteen Ah Mei is just a little problem, just take a few pills, how can you be a cow and a horse?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head.

Aunt Zhu and the fifteenth lady were both stunned. Aunt Zhu whispered in disbelief: "Sixth Young Lady, did you agree?"

"Yes, yes, she agreed. Why don't you hurry up and let her see a doctor for the fifteenth lady? This is a great opportunity, but you must not miss it!" Aunt Zhao said busily, pulled the mother and daughter up, and stuffed the fifteenth lady to Mu Jiaojiao's side.

The fifteenth lady blushed, shy and excited, so nervous that she didn't know where to swing her hands.

Mu Jiaojiao took her hand. "Well, don't overthink it. Try to take it easy, exhale and inhale slowly, and calm your mind so that I can take your pulse more accurately. ”

The fifteenth lady nodded again and again, and hurriedly did what she said.

Mu Jiaojiao checked her pulse, and then asked her to open her mouth to look at her tongue, and found that her tongue was white and slippery, so she said: "You are caused by Shaoyang, liver and gallbladder depression, it is not a big problem, you just need to relieve the liver and gallbladder and reduce the stomach and reduce the inversion." ”

After that, he ordered Hongdou to put out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and opened a pair of small chaihu soup.

"This side drug, taken seven days before menstruation, vomiting will not occur again after taking seven doses in a row. After taking another seven doses, and then switching to Xiaoyaosan, he will be cured after more than a month. ”

"Really?" the fifteenth lady said with a look of joy on her face.

Aunt Zhu learned that after more than a month, the fifteenth lady's illness would be better, and her mood was also very good. It's just that when she thinks of the doctors she has seen before, she has some doubts: "Is it really okay to just take these two medicines?"

That's because in this era, gynecology was not developed, and most of those doctors only focused on treating those popular diseases, or they focused on treating scholars, mainly studying men's diseases, and the research on women's bodies was not thorough enough. The only person who studied hard, and in the palace, he was dedicated to seeing the concubines in the palace and those high-ranking ladies, and it was not the turn of a concubine like the fifteenth lady.

Moreover, until this time, there were great differences in the certification and treatment of diseases by various medical schools. The writings of the ancestors have also been scattered, and the chaotic versions circulated among the people have led many descendants astray. Just like the little chaihu soup she is opening now, it was originally from "Treatise on Typhoid Fever". "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" was written by Zhang Zhongjing of the Han Dynasty, which was once compiled by Wang Shuhe of the Western Jin Dynasty, but it was already in a state of crisis during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. This book was in the Northern Song Dynasty National Book Office for 80 or 90 years, and was established by the Northern Song Dynasty Correction Medical Book Bureau, which selected Gao Ji Chongjin as the base book, edited by Sun Qi, Lin Yi, etc., and was published by the imperial court edict Guozi Jian engraving, ending the situation of discrepancies and confusion in the texts from the late Han Dynasty to Song Fan for more than 800 years. In other words, it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that medical works such as "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" finally really played their due role.

But naturally she won't tell them such words, and they won't understand them. Mu Jiaojiao said: "In the past, the doctors who treated the fifteenth sister should have been mainly to reduce stomach inversion and stop vomiting, right? 'If the wood is depressed and the qi is reversed, the stomach qi cannot be adjusted, resulting in the reversal of the qi and the phlegm is rushed up and the vomiting occurs. 'The disease is in the liver and the stomach is reversed', resulting in nausea. Fifteen Ah Mei is quiet, doesn't like to argue with others, and suppresses things in her heart when she encounters things, resulting in a lot of stagnation in her liver qi. Moreover, women are good at cherishing, and before menstruation, the qi and blood are not stretched, which can aggravate the tendency of depression. When the letter comes, the hepatobiliary qi depression will be discharged, and the tendency to go against the stomach will decrease, and the vomiting will not stop. The previous doctor simply lowered the stomach and stopped vomiting, but did not relieve the liver and gallbladder qi, and it was bound to be in vain. ”

She quoted scriptures and said a lot, Aunt Zhu couldn't understand all of them, but she still understood a few words from Mu Jiaojiao, and nodded again and again: "Sixth young lady, you are right, the doctors who used to treat the fifteenth lady said that they wanted to reduce the stomach and reverse the stomach, and a lot of such and such prescriptions were prescribed, and various medicines were increased or decreased, but there was no effect, and I said why!

The fifteenth lady reads a lot, and she can't understand Mu Jiaojiao's words. immediately showed gratitude: "What the sixth sister-in-law said is very reasonable, that is, people who don't understand medical skills understand it." I believe in your diagnosis, and I take your medicine!"
