Chapter 97 Ten small waists(1/2)
Queen Cao turned around in surprise and looked at Cao Yi.
Cao Yi looked at Xin Yi again, frowning slightly.
The siblings didn't speak, they just made eye contact.
In the end, Queen Cao nodded.
Xin Yi originally did not want to wade into this muddy water, let alone want to boldly change history, but she was concerned about the infertility of Empress Cao in history, and the deaths of Renzong's children one after another. In the end, she had no biological son to inherit the throne and had to give up the throne to the clan's son.
I have always had some doubts about it.
Just think of it as academic research.
With this thought in mind, she made preparations and went into the inner room with Queen Cao to perform a simple gynecological examination.
This was an era without medical machinery, and everything was based on experience and patients' self-reported symptoms. Taking advantage of the fact that no outsiders were present, Xin Yi asked Empress Cao many private questions, and even asked about some details about her affair with the official family.
Empress Cao was a little shy at first, but in the end, seeing that Xin Yi was just a doctor, she gradually opened up and treated her as one of her own, and talked about everything.
Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have a conjecture. I wonder if the saint would like to hear it?"
Empress Cao slowly sat up from the couch and flicked her skirt, "Ms. Zhang, you can speak frankly."
Xin Yi said: "The sage's kidney qi is deficient and cold, and the uterine uterus is less than warm and moist, making it difficult to absorb semen and become pregnant... This is just an appearance. In fact, due to stagnation due to illness, reproductive adhesion is blocked, so that the semen cannot pass through and is blocked in the cellular collaterals, unable to pass through.
Conception in the uterus..."
In modern terms, it means the fallopian tubes are blocked by adhesions.
Although Xin Yi described it in words that Queen Cao could understand.
Queen Cao was silent for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
"How to do it?"
Xin Yi said: "I will prescribe a prescription for the sage to activate blood circulation and remove blood clots, soothe the liver and regulate qi, and take it orally. Then, the decoction needs to be poured into the intestines, followed by hot compresses on the abdomen..."
Queen Cao looked surprised and asked, "What are you feeding? Intestines?"
Xin Yi smiled slightly and said, "One dose of the decoction is given once a day, and it will be stopped during the Guishui period. I will prepare the recipe for the saint, put it into a cloth bag, and steam it until it is hot before use. Then add a little wine and apply it.
Take it under the abdomen. The recipe for entering the intestines is also taken once a night. Every ten days, you can rest for three or four days before using again. We use a Guishui period as a course of treatment. After each course of treatment, I will adjust according to the saint's mood.
Take medicine.”
Empress Cao had never heard of the method she mentioned before. She sounded a little panicked at first, but having a method is better than having no method at all. Besides, we are all women, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.
"Then please leave it to Madam Zhang."
Xin Yi said: "I will try my best. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will."
Queen Cao knew what she meant by this, and was afraid that she would blame her, so she sighed and smiled.
"Mrs. Zhang, there is no need to be afraid. Even if you have no heirs, I will not blame you. However, apart from you and me, this matter cannot be known to any third party. Do you remember it?"
Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed sincerely.
"The saint is generous. Doctors don't know the privacy of patients. Please rest assured, saint, I will definitely keep it secret."
…
It was already the third watch when I left Caimulang Pavilion.
Cao Yi thanked him again and again, offered him a generous medical fee, and then sent someone to send Xin Yi back to Zhangjiacun.
Xiang Ling took the child to bed, but her husband was still waiting for her doing handicrafts under the lamp.
A solitary lamp is as warm as spring.
Seeing Xin Yi come in, her husband hurriedly went to fetch water for her to wash up.
Xin Yi thanked him with a smile and entered the house with the cloth bag in his hand. Just as he was about to shake it out and count the money, the door behind him was pushed open.
She turned around and saw that it was not her beloved, but a sleepy thought.
The two women looked at each other.
Yi Nian rubbed his eyes, "How is your trip going?"
A little kid, with a childish voice, but he asked questions in an old-fashioned way.
Xin Yi smiled and waved to him, called Yi Nian to his bed, shook the silver in the bag on the mattress in front of him, fiddled with it, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Count it, how much money is this?"
The wealthy family in Dacao Mansion did not give out money in copper coins when asking for help from their neighbors, but directly gave them silver ingots.
Three last time, ten this time.
"One hundred taels? Count, is it one hundred taels?"
Ten silver ingots "little waist", Xin Yi beamed with joy, his eyes were bent with laughter, but he didn't smile at the thought, he stretched out his hand to cover the cloth bag, and said very cautiously:
"Don't let anyone see you. Hide quickly. Tiedan said that there have been thieves in the village these past two days, and there are often people walking at night..."
As soon as Xin Yi and Lady Cao got on good terms, Tiedan and Yi Nian became brothers.
"I know, I told you to stay out of my mother's business, why don't you change?" Xin Yi looked at the child angrily and poked his forehead with his finger, "Go to bed quickly. Get up tomorrow and we will go do the New Year shopping.
"
Yi Nian nodded.
When he went out, he suddenly turned back.
"I think your knowledge is better than that of many gentlemen... So you have to exercise restraint when buying or buying?"
"..." Xin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You must be discerning."
"It's a pity that my father has no vision."
Yi Nian lowered his head and said this sentence, sighing very quietly, like talking to himself, like regret or other emotions...
Xin Yi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, smiled nonchalantly, put away the baggage, waited for her husband to prepare water, washed her in a hurry, and then fell asleep holding her "little waist".

In the dark night of Bianjing City, the lights are still on.
Wazi, a wine shop in the city, is still bustling with activity.
In Jinzhuang, Fu Jiuqu lazily held the wine cup with his eyes half-squinted.
Beside him sat Cai Qi, drinking and laughing.
In front of him was Duan Sui with his head lowered, pitifully calculating whether his salary would be fined until the next year if his master was angry...
"Cao Mansion." Fu Jiuqu lowered his head slightly, put the wine cup to his lips, but did not drink it. He paused and put it on the table, then asked unhurriedly: "I'm a little brave."
Cai Qi was gloating at the sidelines, fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire.
"It seems that our sister-in-law is very capable, and she actually fell in love with the noble gentleman Cao Hengqi? Hey, Chonglou, tell me, Cao Hengqi has never married yet, is there something wrong with his eyes? Why did he fall in love with Mrs. Zhang?
"
"It's none of your business." Fu Jiuqu's low voice was filled with a hint of coolness. He looked Cai Qi from head to toe, then turned to Duan Sui and said, "You said she went to Sun's Pharmacy several times? Is that because
Why?"
Duan Sui didn't hear that he was going to be punished for his salary, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Returning to Mr. Jiu, this lady wants to open a medical store, and she values the stall of Sun's drug store most. She has to visit it every time she goes to the city. However, I see that this afternoon, the young owner has posted a rental fee.
If you let me know, many people will come to ask..."
Cai Qi smiled and said: "This sister-in-law is thoughtful."
Fu Jiuqu glanced at him lazily.
"It's not a good thing to have too many thoughts."
Cai Qi looked at him, shook his head, and drank in silence.
Fu Jiuqu said again at this time: "Duan Sui, tomorrow morning, you go and take the three children to my house. Just say that it is the eldest princess's wish. The children's aunt misses the child."
Duan Sui was a little surprised and said, "Yes."
Fu Jiuqu added: "By the way, please call the little Zhang family and give the eldest princess a safe pulse."
Duan Sui cupped his hands and said, "I accept your orders."
Cai Qi's eyes went straight when he saw that he spoke in an understatement.
"Chonglou, aren't we going to Shouzhou tomorrow? If we delay it any longer, we won't be able to make it back to Tokyo in time for the New Year."
Fu Jiuqu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled casually: "No conflict."
~
The New Year is approaching, and every household begins to buy new year's goods, and Xinyi is no exception. With a few coins in hand, his heart starts to beat again.
The drug store has no chance, so it has to have a good year, right?
