If he is good at anything, if you want to marry such a wife, with such an appearance and such a personality, you will not be able to find her anywhere even if you hold a lantern! That relative and elder don't like him? That's why I've been feeling very upset for the past two days!

I was about to tell you: Feng Ziying came to see me just now. He saw that I was a little upset and asked me what was wrong. I told him that my wife was not feeling well because she didn’t have a good doctor. She couldn’t tell whether she was pregnant or sick, and I didn’t know if there was any obstruction or not, so I was really worried. Feng Ziying said that he had a teacher who studied medicine when he was young. His surname was Zhang, and he was a friend. He was the most knowledgeable, and he was also very good at medical science. He could decide whether to live or die. This year he went to Beijing to donate an official position to his son, and now he lives with his family. From this point of view, it is not clear that his wife's illness should be cured by his hands. I have asked someone to bring my name card to invite you. It's late today, so I may not come, but I think I will definitely come tomorrow. Moreover, Feng Ziying went home to beg him in person for me, so I must invite him to come and see me. Let’s wait until Mr. Zhang comes to take a look. "

I just built Zun Mansion, so I didn’t know much about it, but our uncle Feng made sure to ask me to come over and have a look, so I had to come. Now after checking the pulse and seeing if what I said is correct, I will tell you about the condition of the disease in the past few days and let everyone decide whether it can be used or not. Then I can make a decision. "Jia Rong said: "Sir, you are really smart. Now I hate meeting each other so late. I asked your husband to take a look at his pulse to see if it could be cured or not, so that his parents could rest assured. "Then the daughters-in-law brought over big pillows, and while they were leaning on Mrs. Qin, they pulled up their sleeves to expose her wrists.

Jia Rong then went to sit on the kang with Mr. Jia outside. A woman brought tea. Jia Rong said: " Please give me tea, sir. After tea, he asked: "Sir, can this pulse be cured?" "The gentleman said: "I can see your lady's pulse: the left cun is heavy and heavy, the left guan is heavy and low; the right cun is thin and weak, and the right guan is empty and lifeless. If the left cun sinks several times, it means that the heart qi is deficient and causes fire; if the left cun sinks, it means stagnation of liver qi and blood loss. If the right cun is thin and weak, it means that the Qi division of the lung meridian is too weak; if the right guan is weak and there is no energy, it means that the spleen earth is restrained by the liver wood. Those with heart qi deficiency causing fire will experience irregular menstruation and insomnia at night; those with blood deficiency in the liver and qi stagnation will experience pain and distension in the lower ribs, expired menstruation, and heat in the heart; those with excessive deficiency of qi in the lung meridian will experience dizziness and dizziness in the head and neck from time to time. He will inevitably sweat spontaneously, just like sitting in a boat; if the spleen earth is restrained by liver wood, he will definitely not want to eat, feel tired, and have weak limbs. --According to my opinion, this pulse should have these symptoms. If this pulse is regarded as the happy pulse, the younger brother will not dare to follow his teachings. "

A woman who was waiting next to her said: "Why not! Mr. Genuine speaks like a god, and we don’t need to say it anymore. Nowadays, there are several imperial doctors in our family who are watching, but none of them can say this truthfully. Some say it's happiness, some say it's illness, one says it's irrelevant, another says he's afraid of the winter solstice: no one is telling the truth. Please understand the instructions. The gentleman said: "Grandma's symptoms, but everyone was delayed!" It should be treated with medication at the first menstrual period, as it may be completely healed by then. Now that the disease has been delayed to this point, it is also worthy of this disaster. In my opinion, there are still three ways to cure the illness. After taking this medicine, if you can sleep well at night, you will gain two points of strength. According to my pulse, the eldest grandma is a very strong-minded and intelligent person. But if you are too smart, things will often go wrong as you wish; if things go wrong as you wish, you will think too much. This disease is caused by worry that damages the spleen, liver wood is extremely strong, and menstrual blood cannot come on time. If you ask me about the days when my grandma used to menstruate, I will definitely find that they are not often shortened, but must be very long. Yes or no? "The woman replied: "Isn't it? It has never shrunk or grown from two to three days to ten days. After hearing this, the gentleman said: "Yes, this is the source of the disease." If we could take medicine that nourishes the heart and regulates menstruation, why would we be like this! This is now obviously a symptom of water loss and wood prosperity. Waiting for medication.
