Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 200 Needle and Stone Can Reach

"Enough! Stop saying such things!" Jia She shouted impatiently before anyone else could speak, "You are not ashamed of saying this in front of the children! You are so narrow-minded!"

Baoyu stood aside with his hands in his sleeves, looking at Jia Zheng coldly.

Jia Zheng was surprised to find that there were several nephews and nieces of his clan nearby. He immediately felt uncomfortable, coughed twice, and stroked his beard desperately.

Caiyun, who was serving beside him, brought a cup of tea calmly and said, "Second Master, it's time for you to take your medicine. The imperial physician ordered that you massage your legs every day, but you didn't take care of it yesterday. Would you mind going back now?"

Jia Zheng hurried down the stairs and said, "Brother, I will go back and take the medicine and come back later."

Jia She hummed contemptuously.

Jia Zheng went away in a hurry with colorful clouds and mist.

Li Wan and others also followed him and left, leaving only Mrs. Xing and Daiyu in the inner room.

Several people outside took the initiative to say to Jia She: "Master, go lie down next door. Are your waist and legs okay after sitting all night?"

Jia She shook his head: "It's okay. I slept for a while in the second half of the night. The doctor will be here soon, I have to wait here."

Several people respectfully said yes and continued to wait in silence.

After a while, Jia Huan and Chu Ke indeed invited the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Dr. He, to come over.

Baoyu subconsciously followed the imperial physician into the inner room, while Daiyu and Mrs. Xing hid behind the screen and listened attentively.

Doctor He closed his eyes slightly, listened to Lady Jia's left and right hands, frowned, and said to Baoyu, "Bring all the prescriptions you used before to me."

Yuanyang hurriedly gave to Doctor He the prescription that she had used to treat heartache, the prescription that she had used to treat colds a few days ago, and the prescription that she had just changed the day before.

Doctor He frowned and read through them carefully. He tore up all the prescriptions, snorted, looked up at the frightened Yuanyang, and said to Baoyu, twirling his beard:

"The old lady is still in a coma, so I will not hesitate to talk about her condition here."

Baoyu glanced outside and saw Jia She had come in, so he crossed his arms and said, "Doctor He, please speak."

"Madam, this is due to worry, fear, anger, and excessive internal consumption, which has caused her to faint. Now she can be considered to be in a state of mental disorientation.

"However, since the spleen and stomach are weak, it is difficult to eliminate the heart fire. In the above prescription, if ginseng and astragalus are used, the liver and spleen will be further damaged, and if they are not used, the five internal organs will be further weakened.

"Nowadays, whether it is pills, powders or decoctions, I'm afraid it's hard to determine the effect of one gram. If there is an expert in acupuncture, maybe we can give it a try."

Doctor He sighed again when he said this, "It's just that my Imperial Hospital is full of men, so it's inconvenient to give acupuncture to Madam Tai."

There was silence in the room.

At this moment, even Jia She did not dare to say that Jia Mu would allow the imperial physician to undress and give her acupuncture when she woke up. In such matters, only the elders can make decisions for the younger ones, how can the younger ones dare to make decisions for the elders?

Doctor He saw Jia She and Baoyu looking at each other awkwardly, and smiled, twirling his beard: "I heard that the one who invited me here earlier was Princess Zhaoqing's eunuch?"

Jia She was stunned and said quickly: "That's right! Princess Zhaoqing is also here!" He looked up at the screen.

Daiyu was behind the screen and hummed, "Doctor He, please speak."

"Yes! Your Majesty was ill a while ago, and it was I who took people to serve in Xuanzheng Hall. At that time, Your Majesty was unconscious for several hours. It was not until Meng Hanyan from the Shangyi Bureau came to the palace and gave His Majesty acupuncture that he regained consciousness."

Imperial Doctor He looked at the screen with a half-smile, "Although your Madam's condition is different, the situation is similar. If medicine is not enough, acupuncture and moxibustion can help. Why not ask Princess Zhaoqing to ask Meng Hanyan to come over and try."

When Daiyu heard this, her eyebrows flew up, she sneered in her heart, and without saying anything more, she immediately raised her voice: "Chu Qian, go to the Lin Mansion to invite Aunt Meng, and ask her to bring the needle bag of moxa!"

"Yes!" Chu Kai answered from outside, turned around and disappeared with big strides.

So decisive?

Doctor He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little panicked.

"In that case, Doctor He, please sit outside for a while. Someone, bring the tea." Jia She was very smart. He could tell at a glance that the old man was a little uneasy. How could he let him go just like that? He dragged him to the outer room.

He gave Jia Huan another look.

Jia Huan immediately came forward with great enthusiasm: "Doctor He, please come this way!" He approached him like a piece of taffy.

Baoyu heard the noise outside the room. Suddenly, his eyes moved and he understood what was going on. He immediately followed and stood on the other side of Doctor He with a smile: "Dr. He, you have worked hard."

Daiyu came out from behind the screen, looked at the stunned Yuanyang, bent down to pick up the torn prescriptions from the ground, returned them to her, and whispered:

"Don't worry! He dares to challenge me at this time, which means that grandma is still fine. Even if Aunt Meng's acupuncture and moxibustion are ineffective, he still has a way to save the old lady."

Yuanyang then turned around, burst into laughter, and choked up and said, "That's good! That's good!"

Mrs. Xing stood by and watched quietly. She smiled with relief and pulled Daiyu to sit down: "Don't stand there. Take a rest."

Xiaohong, who had been silent all this time, quietly took a step forward, helped Daiyu, and brought a bowl of tea from the table next to her to her.

Half an hour later, Aunt Meng came in breathlessly, wiped her sweat as she entered the room, and complained:

"I just said I was here, but they said they were afraid I would talk nonsense! I'm a doctor, how could I talk nonsense? Really!"

When he saw Doctor He, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Oh! You are here again? Do you want to give me some ginseng soup and wait for me to wake up on my own?"

Doctor He's face darkened immediately, and he snorted, "The conditions are different, so how can the methods be the same? You are such a jerk! Why don't you go in and see the patient?!"

Aunt Meng chuckled back at him, looked up and saw Yuanyang coming out, then she followed him in leisurely without even saying hello to the other people in the room.

Daiyu saw that she was holding a needle bag in her hand and immediately pointed at Grandmother Jia: "Hurry up!"

Aunt Meng nodded without saying anything. She sat down beside Lady Jia and listened carefully to her pulse from both wrists. She then asked for the old prescription Yuanyang had prepared and frowned.

"There's too much ginseng and astragalus. With such severe liver and lung fire, it's no wonder he can't wake up."

Without saying anything more, he directly took out a row of silver needles and ordered Yuanyang to take off Jia Mu's clothes. He also ordered Daiyu and Mrs. Xing to stay away and not look.

When only she and Yuanyang were left, she moved as fast as lightning and instantly inserted more than a dozen silver needles all over Lady Jia's body!

Blood spurted out from several needle points almost instantly!

Yuanyang couldn't help but screamed, and Aunt Meng glared at her. She bit her lips tightly, took the towel with shaking hands, and wiped the blood.

A moment later, Jia's mother woke up slowly with several silver needles stuck in her body: "Ahem!"

Everyone inside and outside the room was surprised and surprised: "The old lady woke up!"

Mrs. Xing grabbed Daiyu's hand from behind the screen. Her eyes were red with excitement and she cried, "My dear sister, you are worthy of being the granddaughter of the old lady!"

Aunt Meng's face flashed with pride. As she pulled out the needles, cleaned them, and put them back into the needle bag, she said slowly, "Eat light food and don't get angry during this period."

After thinking for a while, he said honestly, "I am good at acupuncture and diet therapy, but I am not as good as Dr. He in using medicine. Madam, it is better to ask Dr. He to consider the medicine."

Daiyu helped Mrs. Xing out from behind the screen and sat down next to Grandmother Jia with a smile on her face. She asked, "Grandmother, are you all right?"

Grandmother Jia looked at her in confusion and nodded vaguely: "My dear child, you are here?"

Outside, Jia She and the others felt their backs sweating and sat down relaxedly. Only Jia Huan glanced around and asked Baoyu in a low voice: "Second brother, do you want to tell father and the others?"
