Chapter 121: Infertility
"Come on!" Mu Jiaojiao said, "Stretch out your hand, and I'll check your pulse first." ”
Lu Shiniang was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly sat down beside her, rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her arms.
Mu Jiaojiao took the pulse and asked, "What is the specific situation, can you tell me in detail?"
The maid on the side was stunned, and stopped talking a little. Lu Shiniang said as if she had let go: "It's all at this time, what else do I have to hide? If these messages are useful to you, the Sixth Young Lady, it will also be a blessing in my life. ”
When the maid heard this, her eyes turned red, but she still whispered: "The lady has been married to the fifteenth Langjun of the Li family for more than four years, but she has never been pregnant. I invited many doctors to come and see, and I also took a lot of medicine, and on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, I went to the temple to offer incense and ask for Buddha, and I never dared to stop. Two years ago, in order to show her piety, the lady quit meat and began to be a vegetarian, but there is still no happy sign. A few years ago, the government invited a famous doctor Xu in Jiangnan to diagnose and treat the lady, and Dr. Xu asserted that the lady had infertility and could not get pregnant in this life!"
Speaking of this, she burst into tears, and Lu Shiniang also picked up a handkerchief to cover her face, sobbing lowly.
Mu Jiaojiao frowned slightly, but did not speak. She carefully checked Lu Shiniang's pulse for a full cup of tea, and found that her pulse was slippery and powerful; He asked, "How often do you come to the moon letter?"
Lu Shiniang's face was full of shame, and the maid on the side replied: "Niangzi Yuexin will only come once every forty days, three or four days at a time, and every time she comes, she has a pain in her lower abdomen, and her waist and limbs are also sore and weak. ”
"What about menstrual flow? Is it more or less, and is there a blood clot in it?"
"There is less menstrual flow, and there is indeed a blood clot. ”
Mu Jiaojiao's head was bright. "I see. And if I'm not mistaken, you often have constipation when you go to the toilet, don't you?"
"The sixth young lady is right, but it is so. Although Lu Shiniang was shy, she nodded convincingly after listening to Mu Jiaojiao's reasoning.
Mu Jiaojiao nodded again, and asked the maid again: "Is there still a situation in your lady who is forgetful, irritable and irritable?"
"What the Sixth Young Lady said is that the lady sometimes does. ”
"I see. Mu Jiaojiao finally withdrew her hand, "You are hot and bloody, and it is difficult to conceive because you are hindered." Although the situation is more complicated, it is not impossible to cure. As long as the diarrhoea is hot and stasis, the old is renewed, and the knot is pulled, the qi and blood can be unimpeded within three months, and you can conceive within one year. ”
"Really?" I didn't expect her to say so decisively, Lu Shiniang couldn't help but be overjoyed, but she couldn't believe it in her heart - after all, she had seen many doctors in the past four years, including many famous doctors, and no one had ever said anything to her so absolutely. If it's a little better, it's just that she is good at recuperation, and her physical condition will slowly recover in the future, and when the time comes, the child will come. But when was the time? They didn't say why. Last time, Doctor Xu's words gave her a blow to the head, making her almost hit her headlong and die.
If it weren't for the fact that she really had no choice, and A-Niang tried her best to let her get closer to Mu Jiaojiao, she wouldn't have come to Mu Jiaojiao to see this problem.
Mu Jiaojiao nodded confidently: "If you believe me, you can take the medicine I prescribed with peace of mind, and I will guarantee that you will be a mother next year at the latest." ”
Now, there are no words more than this sentence that makes her blood rush and desperate! Lu Shiniang's tears fell again. She hurriedly nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll listen to you! As long as you can let me give birth to a child, even if it's arsenic, I'll eat it!"
Her girl was even more tearful. "As long as the sixth young lady can make my lady get pregnant as she wishes, we will listen to you whatever you say!"
Mu Jiaojiao asked someone to send pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Lu hurriedly went to pass it.
Mu Jiaojiao wrote a recipe and handed it to Lu Shiniang: "This is called peach kernel Chengqi soup, which is a combination of stomach regulating Chengqi soup with peach kernels and cinnamon branches. Use the withered stomach Chengqi soup to take its effect of diarrhoea and heat to break the knots, in order to open the crux of your present; the peach kernel is smooth and profitable, good at chasing blood stasis, and the combination of nitrate and yellow can make the blood stasis not stagnant; use the cinnamon branch to make it pass through the guard, and the qi is bloody to enhance the power of chasing blood stasis and activating blood. At the same time, the temperature of cinnamon can control the coldness of nitrate and yellow. ”
"Your main problem now is blood stasis and internal arrest, blood vein internal obstruction, turbidity and heat disturbing the heart, so there will be symptoms of irritability, forgetfulness, and abdominal pain and backache, which is a typical symptom of blood accumulation. But fortunately, the condition is still mild, you are young, and your body is full of righteousness, and you can withstand the strong power of this prescription to chase away stasis. Taking the medicine on an empty stomach is good for fighting stasis, so you need to take this medicine warmly first, so that you can get better faster. If you do what I say, you will see the effect after a maximum of five doses. ”
She explained the symptoms clearly and concisely, and even the effect of the prescription was clearly explained, which made Lu Shiniang listen to it and slowly rise a touch of confidence in her heart.
"Sixth Young Mademode, I have memorized all your words, I will definitely do what you ask, and I will not slack off!"
Mu Jiaojiao bowed her head with satisfaction. "Then I wish you an early pregnancy and give birth to a white and chubby little Langjun!"
"Actually, as long as you can get pregnant, it's okay for a little lady to be a gentleman. Bloom first and then bear better fruits!" After communicating with her, Lu Yiniang was in a much better mood, and she had the heart to laugh with her.
Lu Shi watched from the sidelines, and a smile appeared on his face. Just looking at Mu Jiaojiao over there, she was a little speechless and stopped.
When the banquet was over, the two of them got into the carriage back to the house together, and the Lu family finally expressed the worries in their hearts: "Sixth brother and sister, what you said is too absolute! Although things like giving birth to children are man-made, they are still determined in the end. Now you just check her pulse and prescribe medication, and you can definitely say that she will definitely get pregnant within a year, and if you can't do it then, what should you do?"
"If I say it, I'll do what I say. Mu Jiaojiao said.
Lu was stunned. Looking at Mu Jiaojiao's determined expression, there was a sudden violent shock in his heart.
Then Mu Jiaojiao said: "From the perspective of etiology, although blood stasis is the main reason for my sister's infertility, emotional stagnation and long-term incomprehension are often an important cause of this disease. You see, she's been so depressed by this that she's almost out of breath. Presumably, there are already a lot of concubines and concubines under Li Langjun's knees, right? Among them, there must be one or two concubines who are favored and have children, and Li Langjun has also privately discussed with her, if she can't be reborn, he will take the son of the concubine as a concubine. What she needs now is encouragement, and only when her mind is open, can she get better faster. I gave her a set amount of time, and she had a head start, and she devoted herself to recuperating her body, and of course, she would no longer put her mind on those concubines. ”
Lu suddenly realized.
"I see! It's still the sixth brother and sister, you think far-reaching. ”
Mu Jiaojiao smiled silently.
Back at the house, Cui Saburo came back in the evening, and Lu told him about today's events. Cui Saburo has been in diplomacy, and naturally has more knowledge than the Lu family. Hearing her say this, he bowed his head: "The sixth brother and sister are right. Many of this person's problems are not physical discomfort at all, but the devil in his heart. Just like my brother's illness a few years ago, isn't it the same? As long as he gets rid of his demons, his illness will be almost cured. The six brothers and sisters are really gods, and the doctor not only heals the body, but also the heart. With such a two-pronged approach, why worry about the eleventh sister's illness?"
Hearing her husband say the same, Lu's heart was relieved. She pulled Cui Saburo closer: "I want to do something tomorrow, do you think it's okay?"
Early the next morning, several daughters-in-law went to serve Mrs. Cui again as usual.
After finishing breakfast, Lu Shi suddenly pulled Mu Jiaojiao and said with a reproachful face: "Sixth brother and sister, didn't my sister-in-law say you, why have you sent less and less snacks to our yard in the past two days?"
"Yes? I remember that the amount of dim sum sent these days has not changed! It should be that Xiao Langjun and Xiao Niang have grown up, so they don't think it's enough to eat. Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.
"There's some truth to what you say. But now, there are not enough snacks, but it is a fact. The children eat the snacks made by your bride cook every day, and their mouths are raised, and they don't even look down on the things made in the big kitchen. It's all your fault, do you admit it?"
"Of course, I admit it. But now I don't have any other way, the big kitchen is shared by everyone, how can I occupy a place every day to cook things for myself?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled helplessly.
"Having said that, the children just want to eat! They pestered me every day and cried, and I couldn't help it. As...... Wouldn't it be much more convenient for you to ask someone to build a stove in your yard?" As soon as Lu Shi said this, he felt more and more that it made sense, "It just so happens that you are not in good health, and you have to decoct medicine every day." I went to see it last time, and I saw your little girl guarding a small stove and fanning the fire desperately, her face was blackened, and I felt so distressed when I looked at that little pitiful appearance. It's okay this time and twice, it's like this every day, so how can it work? If you have a stove, it will be much more convenient! You want this thing to be of serious use, and it's not a mess, and I guess other sisters-in-law and brothers and sisters won't have an opinion, what do you say?"
The last sentence is to throw the conversation on someone else.
Zheng smiled indifferently: "The third brother and sister have some truth in what they said, the sixth brother and sister really need a small kitchen. However, the small kitchen in this house is not something that can be built casually, and it is not built in a few yards of our concubine, just the six brothers and sisters, which seems to be unreasonable. ”
She stands neutral and does not support or oppose it.
The Second Young Lady, the Fourth Young Lady, and the Fifth Young Lady were not very happy when they heard this--why? She had only been in the door for a few days, and she had already asked someone to make an exception for her! If the small kitchen was opened for her again this time, she would be even more beautiful!
However, the fifth young lady had already tasted Mu Jiaojiao's power, and she would not be stupid enough to clash with her head-on, so she chose the same attitude as the Zheng family - neutrality.
The second young lady and the fourth young lady are not stupid. Although I was unhappy, the decision on this matter was in the hands of my aunt. If Mrs. Cui nodded, it would be useless for them to object. If Mrs. Cui didn't nod, it would be useless for her to have fun with the Lu family.
So, the second young lady smiled: "The daughter-in-law thinks that the sister-in-law is right. It's just that the new daughter-in-law has just entered the door and built a small kitchen, but I have never heard of such a thing. Of course, all this has to be judged by Auntie. ”
Mrs. Cui hurriedly waved her hand: "This is the children's business, I won't interfere! If you feel sorry for the children and want them to eat more good food, then this small kitchen will be built." If you want to be strict with your children, this is also right, and in the future, Liulang's daughter-in-law will not have to do it for them every day, and it will be enough to make some tooth sacrifices for the children every once in a while. After all, you don't have a lot of money. ”
The second young lady and the fourth young lady understood-Mrs. Cui was also on Mu Jiaojiao's side. Although the two of them were not worried in their hearts, they had to accompany the smiling faces.
Lu Shi answered happily: "What Auntie said is right. In this case, the daughter-in-law felt that it was extremely necessary to build this small kitchen. Which of our Boling Cui clan's Langjun and Niangzi has not understood the rules very well since childhood and has seen the world? We have the same parenting method for the little Langjun and the little lady below. The sixth brother and sister built a small kitchen, it was for the sake of her body, and we would not be jealous in our hearts. And after the small kitchen is built, our rooms will also benefit immensely, which is a good thing for mutual benefit, and several sisters-in-law must have no reason to refuse, don't you say?"
What else can they say?
A few concubines could only nod their heads and say yes.
It was only at this time that Mu Jiaojiao also stood up and saluted them one by one: "Thank you for your concern, my little sister is grateful." The kindness of several sisters-in-law is in mind, and in the future, I can only ask the girl to make more good things for everyone to share, so as to express my gratitude to everyone. ”
You know each other, and you know how to send more things!
Everyone thought indignantly, but they couldn't help but have endless good expectations for the 'more good things' she promised.
