I practiced medicine in ancient times

"Senior Sister Baiyan, your family and Senior Sister Xu's family just gave you a message, asking you and Senior Sister Xu to go home in July." After Bai Yan came out of Doctor Wen's clinic and came to the backyard, a male servant said to Bai Yan.

"I know about this. Thank you, junior brother." Bai Yan nodded, indicating that he understood.

.........

On this day, in Li’s mansion.

"Why is there no yam and winter melon soup today?" Li Wanqiu was having lunch that day when she found that the soup of the medicinal meal prescribed by Xu Qingyi for her had not been served. She frowned slightly and asked the old woman who was serving her meal.

However, after Li Wanqiu drank the medicine prescribed by Xu Qingyi, she felt much more relaxed. She had felt very tired before, but after taking the medicine for eight or nine days, she felt a lot more relaxed, and now she had more energy and vitality. Her appetite also improved greatly and she had an excellent appetite. Even her limbs were much more flexible than before.

Moreover, she ate a lot of food every day, but her weight did not increase, but she lost several pounds. However, her figure did not become thinner, but more plump and well-proportioned. This made Li Wanqiu very satisfied, and she believed in the prescriptions and medicinal diet prescribed by Xu Qingyi.

"The old lady was not feeling well today. Her room took up a lot of space on the stove, so the kitchen was delayed in cooking for her. The soup is still cooking on the stove." The old woman at the side replied in a low voice.

"I see."

.........

Time passed slowly, and soon it was June, the time for apprentices to be promoted to disciples.

During the Grain in Ear season, Xu Qingyi also went to Li's house to see Li Wanqiu for a follow-up visit.

The prescription remained unchanged, which was to drink Guizhi Fuling Decoction. In addition, for the solar term Grain in Ear, Xu Qingyi gave Mrs. Li another prescription for the corresponding solar term.

During the solar term Grain in Ear, all things grow and diseases are prone to breed. The corresponding direction of Grain in Ear is south, the corresponding earthly branch is noon, and the corresponding organ is the heart.

Summer is associated with fire, and its energy flows to the heart. Hot weather can easily make people restless and irritable.

People with insufficient heart blood can use the Grain in Ear, the "great fire from heaven", to light up their heart fire. People with insufficient heart blood and poor heart function can use the Grain in Ear solar term to improve their heart function.

However, when the heart qi is insufficient and the heart blood is not strong, one will be particularly tired in the summer afternoon, the face will become saggy, and then one will become in a very weak state.

Therefore, for the Grain in Ear solar term, Xu Qingyi prescribed Siwu Decoction for Mrs. Li.

Siwu Decoction is a combination of Rehmannia glutinosa and White Peony Root, which are yin and gentle blood-tonifying drugs (blood-enhancing drugs), and Angelica sinensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong (blood-enhancing drugs). It has the best effects of both movement and stillness, tonifies blood without stagnating it, promotes blood circulation without damaging it, is warming without being dry, and nourishing without being greasy. It is the most commonly used blood-tonifying prescription.

The heart governs blood and stores the spirit. If the blood is deficient, the heart and spirit will not be nourished, so it is easy to suffer from palpitations and insomnia. The Siwu Decoction recipe, while seemingly replenishing blood, actually also nourishes the heart and nourishes the liver.

The heart is the root of life and the transformation of the spirit. Its brilliance is on the face, its fullness is in the blood vessels, it is the sun among the yang, and is connected to the summer qi.

People with insufficient heart yang are like those without the sun in their hearts. They tend to be pessimistic and negative and see the shortcomings of others. People with sufficient heart yang can find beauty and the strengths of others. Therefore, if you are a person who can easily find the beautiful things around you and can truly appreciate others, you are actually gathering your own yang energy unintentionally. Heart yang is the most powerful fire - the sun among yang, it will make you shine more and more.

After taking Mrs. Li's pulse and prescribing medicine, Bai Yan also performed a manual examination to check the size of the uterine fibroids in Mrs. Li's body.

From the touch of the white smoke, it was discovered that after Mrs. Li took the medicine for about a month, the uterine fibroids in her body had shrunk slightly, which showed that the medicine was effective.

In addition, after Mrs. Li drank the medicine prescribed by Xu Qingyi, she felt much better and trusted Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan even more.

This time, when they visited the patient at home, before leaving, Madam Li asked the servants to give them a purse containing one or two taels of silver.

........

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the day for the apprentice to be promoted to disciple.

This year, there are fewer assessments for apprentices to be promoted to disciples than in previous years. In addition to Bai Yan, there are Zi Lin and two male apprentices, a total of four people.

The order of assessment is to assess whoever is promoted to apprentice first.

Bai Yan's turn was the last and he failed the assessment. After the assessment was completed that day, a red list was posted to tell all the apprentices and servants the results of their promotions, as a way of motivating them.

The promotion assessment for disciples is much more complicated than that for apprentices.

In addition to examining the location and function of acupuncture points on the human body, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements diagnosis and treatment should also be examined.

The questions are based on symptoms, and a rough analysis is conducted to test the prescription and medication.

Two male apprentices went in for the test one after another. After the test, they came out dejectedly, and it seemed that they thought they did not do well.

"How is it?" When it was Zi Lin's turn to come out, Bai Yan went up to him and asked nervously.

"I feel fine! Doctor Li asked you to wait a quarter of an hour before going in." Zilin said without any nervousness.

Bai Yan studied Western medicine in modern times and became a surgeon. Although she had been exposed to Chinese medicine, she had never studied it systematically. Although she had learned a lot from Qingyi in the past six months, she was not proficient in any of them. However, she still had no confidence in being promoted to a disciple this time.

"Zilin is my daughter. I will not be involved in her promotion to disciple. Doctor Li and Doctor Wu, please discuss it." Doctor Wen said to Doctor Li and Doctor Wu after Zilin came out of the examination room.

"Zilin has a solid foundation in medicine. Although she didn't answer all of the questions we asked, they were related, which shows that she has a rich reserve of medical knowledge.

Although her answers were not completely accurate, they always contained relevant knowledge points, which showed that her foundation was quite solid.

Our questions were somewhat tricky, but she was always able to quickly grasp the core of the problem and give insightful answers.

It will pass." Doctor Li gave himself his opinion.

"We also asked her about dozens of acupuncture points, and she was able to identify them all and explain their functions.

Moreover, she is quite insightful in setting questions and prescribing rough prescriptions, so there will be no problem in promoting her to a disciple." Doctor Wu did not favor Zilin because she was Doctor Wen's daughter, he said truthfully.

"In that case, let's decide on Zilin's promotion to disciple." After hearing Doctor Li and Doctor Wen's comments on her daughter, and seeing that they were quite optimistic about her daughter, Doctor Wen nodded with a smile on her face.

"can."

"Row."
