Chapter 488: Xian Syndrome
He's son and daughter each held a few pieces of cloud cake in their hands and stood quietly by the side eating.
While Song Yuntang and He were chatting, Lu Xingyan suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground, vomiting white foam, scaring Jinshu, who was closest to the two children, so much that he took a step back.
He was so scared that she burst into tears and hurriedly went forward to help Lu Xingyan up from the ground.
"Xingyan!"
Seeing that the child seemed to be in a bad condition, Song Yuntang stopped He's actions.
"Jinshu, go get a piece of cotton cloth!"
As she spoke, she immediately stepped forward and made Lu Xingyan lie flat on the ground with his head tilted to one side. "Sister-in-law, take the food out of Xingyan's mouth first. It would be dangerous if she choked at this time."
"Why."
He was at a loss. Among the people present, Song Yuntang was the only one who understood medicine, so naturally she did whatever Song Yuntang said.
In the main room, Xie Yingwei seemed to have noticed the situation in the yard and hurried over.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Song Yuntang didn't look in his direction, but focused on He's actions and Lu Xingyan's situation.
"No, thank you."
Seeing He clear the foreign object from Lu Xingyan's mouth, Song Yuntang took the handkerchief from Jinshu, folded it into a small rectangle, and placed it between Lu Xingyan's upper and lower teeth to prevent him from biting his tongue.
After doing all this, Song Yuntang held Xingyan with one hand to keep his head tilted, while looking at He who was crying with red eyes beside him.
"Has Xingyan's illness existed since childhood? Or did it just start recently?"
He raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"It started about two years ago when she got sick. We have been looking for doctors everywhere in the past two years. This time, we took advantage of your brother Lu's visit to Beijing for an imperial examination and brought our family to Beijing to find a doctor. But after such a long period of treatment, Xingyan still gets sick every once in a while."
Song Yuntang nodded and took his pulse.
After a moment, she let go.
At this time, Lu Xingyan's convulsion symptoms were gradually easing. After returning to normal, he was as normal as ever and went to play in the yard with his sister.
In ancient times, medical technology was backward, and doctors generally did not understand the pathogenesis of the disease, so they were unable to accurately diagnose and provide targeted treatment for patients.
Song Yuntang's advantage over them is.
She knows the causes of these symptoms and can diagnose and treat patients based on this.
She looked at He who was standing beside her.
"When Xingyan fell ill two years ago, she had a high fever?"
He nodded.
"Yes, there is."
Song Yuntang understood, "It's not a big problem. Sister-in-law, go to the medicine store and get a few doses of Ganmai Dazao Decoction. It contains three grams of roasted licorice, six grams of wheat, and ten jujubes. Use six liters of water to boil these three herbs and take three liters. Take it warm in three doses. Xingyan's symptoms are not from her mother's womb, so it's easy to treat."
He was surprised.
"that's all?"
In the past two years, they have consulted many doctors, tried many methods, and taken many medicines to treat their child's illness.
I tried acupuncture, cupping, massage, and other treatments, but none of them worked, and I spent a lot of money.
Fortunately, the family still has some savings, otherwise they would have been living on the streets long ago.
Song Yuntang nodded, "Most of the symptoms caused by children's fever are bitter and urgent. After taking Ganmai Dazao Decoction, it will sweeten the stomach and produce body fluid, which will lead to diarrhea. This is a normal phenomenon of new body fluid replacing old body fluid. After all, these three herbs are not expensive, the medicinal properties are sweet and mild, and they are non-toxic. If you believe me, you might as well try them."
"After that, strengthen your exercise and eat a light diet, and the symptoms will gradually decrease or even stop recurring."
He didn't know Song Yuntang's specific background. After all, she had tried more outrageous methods before, so she decided to trust her and give this method a try. If it worked, her son wouldn't have to suffer like this anymore.
Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Xingyan.
"Xingyan, mother is going to get you some medicine. You and your sister should play in the yard. Don't run out."
Song Yuntang looked at her with a smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. There are so many people in the courtyard. They can all look after them for you."
"Oh, thank you for your help." After saying that, He quickly walked out.
Xie Yingwei looked at Song Yuntang with a little surprise.
"I didn't expect that Madam Xu, at such a young age, could actually take pulses and prescribe medicine."
Song Yuntang smiled politely.
"It's just some trivial stuff. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Xie."
Xie Yingwei became very interested in her and sat down beside her.
"Where did Madam Xu learn her medical skills?"
Song Yuntang picked up the teacup and took a sip. "My master has lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years. Most outsiders don't know his name. Besides, the old man doesn't want to be famous, so it's better not to mention it."
Xie Yingwei stretched out his hand.
"I have been feeling a bit down lately. Could Madam Xu treat me?"
Song Yuntang put his hand on his pulse.
"Stay up all night?"
Xie Yingwei looked at the hand on his pulse and nodded, "Since the failure of the scientific expedition, I have indeed been sleeping lately."
"Have you been irritable, aggressive, or have back pain recently? Do you have a big appetite and can you still eat after you are full? Do you drink alcohol frequently?"
Xie Yingwei was a little surprised.
"I do have all the symptoms that Madam described."
Song Yuntang withdrew his hand.
"It looks like a bunch of problems, but in fact there is no big problem. To sum it up, it is excessive dampness and liver fire. Reduce drinking, adjust your work and rest schedule, and take everything lightly, and the problem will be solved."
She finished her words in one breath, nodded slightly in the direction of Xie Yingwei, and then went back to the house with the cloud cake.
After all, he is a foreigner.
Although there were maids and servants watching her, if she was not married, it would not be a problem for her to sit for a while longer. But now she was a married woman with nothing serious to do, so it was not good for her to sit with a man outside for a long time.
It would be better to go back to the house and tease Hao Ting.
"Jinshu, keep an eye on Brother Lu's two children."
Brocade book brings good luck to your body.
"Yes, ma'am."
Looking at the woman's slender back, Xie Yingwei was stunned for a moment and became more curious about her.
…
Xu Qingye returned home at 9:00 p.m.
When he came back, Xie Yingwei's servant Yanshi happened to bring a portion of cakes to the west wing.
"Master Xu, Madam Xu, this is the white jade pastry that our Master asked me to buy from Yong'an Lane in East City to thank Madam Xu for taking his pulse this morning."
Xu Qingye stood in front of the door, looked towards the main room, and said nothing.
Song Yuntang was also surprised when he saw the sudden appearance of pastry.
She looked at the inkstone.
"Mr. Xie is in good health. I didn't prescribe any medicine or acupuncture. There's no need to send me cakes. I appreciate your kindness. Please take the cakes back."
After saying that, he pulled Xu Qingye back to the room.
The man looked at his wife beside him.
"Did Tang'er tell his men to look for the yard today?"
"I have asked Ren Dong, Qin Ju, Zhi Ruo and Lan Xin to look for her. I am also waiting for their news." Song Yun Tang looked at him curiously. "How was your visit to the palace today?"
