Chapter 481 A Dream of Youth 13
Madam Chen carried Xie Ning back and dressed her again. She glanced at Xie Ning's mistied clothes and laughed, "Did your father dress you like this?"
Xie Ning shook her head. "I put on the clothes myself while Father was picking them out."
Chen hadn't let her wear this outfit before, so she wasn't quite sure how to wear it. Although it was all ancient clothing, the clothes here were quite different from the world she had experienced before, so she was bound to make a mistake.
"Bao'er is so good." Madam Chen praised Xie Ning, and then carefully taught her how to dress. Originally, Xie Ning was wearing a light yellow dress today, but because she was going out, Madam Chen added a pink floral jacket for her.
My hair has been combed again.
Xie Ning didn't have much hair, so she couldn't wear many hair accessories, but she had quite a few hairbands to tie her hair up. Some of them were bought by Chen Shi from a stall, but most of them were made by herself.
To match this outfit, I wore a pink headband with pale yellow tassels at the end that hung down my hair, making me look even cuter.
Xie Wangzhi thought the little girl was so cute that he wanted to take her out to show her off.
"That clinic is too crowded, and Bao'er is still too young. How about we go to Biyu Courtyard for tea instead?" It would also let his friends see that his Bao'er is not only cute but also clever and quick-witted.
Madam Chen could easily see through his thoughts, and she scolded him, "You say you're having tea, but do you know all your friends? You must have a cup of warm tea. Bao'er is still young, so you shouldn't get any alcohol. You should also drink less, it's bad for your stomach."
That wine wasn't homemade sweet wine, so what was the point of bringing a child along? Even Qi'er wouldn't be very willing to go, let alone Bao'er, who was so young.
Xie Wangzhi also remembered that his friends all loved to drink. The tea at Biyu Courtyard was good, but so was the wine. Bao'er was definitely not suitable to go there.
Therefore, Xie Ning eventually went to the clinic with Madam Chen. Before leaving, Madam Chen specially brought a lot of herbal pouches, which she also prepared for Xie Yun. The pouch contained some grains and melon seeds, which were meant to be given as gifts.
Xie Wangzhi said that there were many people at Deji Hall, but that was not the case. There were only a few people. There was an event today, and everyone went to see the play, so it was Xie Yun's turn soon.
Xie Yun had seen a doctor two years prior when she was unable to conceive, and she had taken a lot of medicine, but her condition did not improve. She had considered whether it was Guo Dayong's problem, but Guo's mother only said that she had brought Guo Dayong to see a doctor and that there was no problem.
The problem naturally lies with Xie Yun, and the doctor at Dejitang also said that she has a cold constitution and needs to recuperate, which further proves that she has a health problem.
However, Xie Yun has even more problems this time. Her health is extremely poor. Let alone being pregnant, if she doesn't take good care of herself, it could even affect her lifespan.
"Open your mouth, let me see your tongue." The old doctor withdrew his hand from taking Xie Yun's pulse, looked up at Xie Yun, and then nodded.
The tongue is red with a thin coating, and the pulse is wiry.
Do you experience abdominal pain during your period?
Xie Yun nodded, blushing.
Are you easily irritable or prone to mood swings?
"Yes." Xie Yun pursed her lips, suppressing all her bitterness in her heart, which naturally made her emotional state uneasy.
The old doctor pondered for a moment before writing a prescription. "You have severe uterine coldness, an imbalance of yin and yang, insufficient qi and blood, and emotional distress and stagnation of liver qi, which is why you have difficulty conceiving."
Xie Ning asked crisply, "Is there any difference between difficulty conceiving and infertility?"
Chen also came to his senses and asked the same question.
"It's different." Seeing Xie Ning's bewildered look, the old doctor stroked his beard and smiled.
"Her infertility is acquired, neither congenital nor caused by external factors. It is not a terminal illness, and there is still hope for a cure."
The old doctor, thinking that Xie Yun had been married for many years without children, also felt that something was amiss and asked hesitantly, "Has your husband come to see you?"
"They came and said there was no problem." Xie Yun's mood became a little down when she said this, so it really was her problem.
Seeing this, the old doctor could only comfort her, saying, "Take it easy and you'll get better once you've replenished your qi and blood."
Xie Ning glanced at the prescription written by the old doctor and nodded to himself. Although it wasn't the best, it was the right medicine for the illness.
She also took Xie Yun's pulse. Xie Yun had been infertile for many years. In addition to being cold-natured, her liver qi was also stagnant. Stagnant liver qi is often caused by emotional distress, which leads to disharmony of qi and blood, and obstruction of the uterine vessels.
As the saying goes, when the seven emotions are injured, the blood becomes weak and the qi becomes strong, resulting in irregular menstruation, with irregular timing and color, such as pale as water, purple like blood clots, or metrorrhagia and leukorrhea. Menstrual cramps and a cold uterus can also lead to infertility.
The medicine prescribed by the old doctor is for nourishing blood and benefiting the spleen, which is exactly what I need.
When they left, Chen comforted Xie Yun, saying, "The doctor said that you should take good care of yourself and replenish your qi and blood. He also said that emotional distress can harm your health. Now that you've left that place of suffering, why should you keep yourself trapped in your own heart?"
In this life, one should think more about oneself. Dwelling on the past is ultimately a meaningless void. It's not worth ruining yourself for such people.
Xie Yun looked at the bustling crowd on the street and let out a heavy sigh. "Sister-in-law is right. It's not worth it for someone like that."
Thinking of taking Xie Yun out to relax, Chen said, "It's still early. Today is the Spring Festival, let's go and see what's going on."
