After a while, two maids came in with bedding, walked to the bunk bed on the north side and began to make the bed.
The bunk bed hadn't been slept in for a while, so it was a bit damp. Fortunately, the room had a floor heater, so the new bedding was dry. Even so, it was still much colder than the heated kang.
The body first becomes hot and sweats, and then suddenly becomes cold and the sweat stops. In fact, it is very easy to catch a cold. I wonder if Aunt Fang knows this.
Ren Yaoqi asked the maid named Qingmei to get a few hand warmers and put them in the quilt to keep warm. She also asked them to get a set of dry underwear and warm them in the incense burner first.
Qingmei and another maid, Xuelisheng, murmured, "First they were too hot, and now they're too cold. Fifth and Third Sisters are really sisters. They're both good at making trouble."
"Hush—please don't say that again. The one from the East Wing is back..."
Ren Yaoqi did not hear the maids' complaints. After the bed was warm, she asked the maid to help her change into underwear and helped her to sleep on the bed.
After being covered by the stove for so long, the temperature of the bed was almost the same as that of the kang.
Not long after I lay down, someone came in with a bowl of medicine.
"Fifth sister, it's time to take your medicine." A young woman's voice called out.
When Ren Yaoqi opened her eyes, she saw the pretty woman who had come to see Nanny Zhu before. She was wearing a dark green satin jacket and a stone blue cotton skirt. She was a maid named Jinju who served Aunt Fang.
"Don't you want to change the prescription?" Ren Yaoqi was supported by Jinjue and sat at the head of the bed, taking a look at the medicine bowl.
Jin Jue smiled and said, "Take this dose and change it later. Auntie originally invited a doctor, but was stopped by Nanny Zhou on the way to see the Third Madam and Third Sister. The doctor went to report to the old lady but was sent away by the steward. Auntie will go and invite a doctor for you tomorrow."
"Is mother sick?"
Jin Ju glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile, "Madam San and Sister San have been traveling all day, and it's snowy outside. I think they're worried about catching a cold. Sister Wu, the medicine is getting cold. Drink it quickly, please."
The bowl of medicine was brought to her lips, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but frown slightly. This was not the prescription she had taken before.
Although the previous prescription was not very effective, it was effective for the symptoms. However, this time, several ingredients in the medicine were changed.
After she left the Ren family, she had read a lot of books with Mr. Pei, including history books, military strategies, laws, astrology, geomancy, and Buddhist scriptures, and she even memorized the pharmacopoeia.
All things in the world are mutually dependent and mutually exclusive. The properties of medicinal herbs are divided into yin and yang, and diseases are divided into cold, heat, dampness and dryness.
To prescribe the right medicine for a disease, one must not only understand the meridians, trends, rise and fall, and floating and sinking of the medicines, and how they can be used together, but also know the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements and the harmony of the seven emotions.
However, being incompatible or opposite to each other are both taboos in using medicine.
For example, her original prescription contained a low-grade, poisonous herb called aconite. However, if formulated and combined with the right ingredients, it could become a potent remedy. Today's bowl of medicine contained both aconite and pinellia. While each was perfectly acceptable when used separately, using them together would constitute a serious medicinal incompatibility.
In addition, the combination of several medicinal herbs was also extremely inappropriate. Therefore, if she drank this medicine, although it would not immediately damage the foundation of her body, the illness that had almost recovered would be delayed for a few more days.
