Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 101 Longan Purple Rice Porridge

"I know a little about some health-preserving medicinal diets."

Jia Rong did not mention this, but said seriously, "If old uncle believes me, then let me take a closer look at Aunt Lin. If you don't believe it, forget it."

Lin Ruhai listened and said quickly, "We are all a family, why can't we believe it? Come on, follow me to the back house and show your Aunt Lin."

"Okay." Jia Rong nodded with a smile, followed Lin Ruhai's footsteps, entered the back house from the corridor behind the garden, and walked into Lin Daiyu's boudoir.

Seeing Lin Ruhai leading Jia Rong in, Lin Daiyu and the nanny girls were all shocked.

"Dad, why did you bring Brother Rong in?" Lin Daiyu stood up and said a Wanfu gift to Lin Ruhai, with a confused look on her face.

This is a private house in the boudoir. This is Brother Rong. He is also a foreigner. How can he enter?

What's more, Brother Rong is not young anymore. He is not a child, but an adult who is officially married.

If this spreads out, it will damage Lin Daiyu's reputation.

"Yu'er, you don't know, Brother Rong is proficient in medical science, but when he saw you just now, he felt bad. He gave me some arguments, and they were absolutely correct. He also said that the 'Ginseng Yangrong Pill' is a tiger and wolf medicine. It’s not a life-saving medicine, but it’s actually a medicine that can harm people. It’s because I’m blind and mistakenly believed the lies of the scabby monk!”

At this time, Lin Ruhai had already become somewhat convinced after listening to Jia Rong's argument.

As the saying goes: "If you don't look good, you will be a good doctor."

In Lin Ruhai's house, first the eldest son died, then Jia Min became seriously ill, and Lin Daiyu also fell ill since childhood. Therefore, when a long-term illness is cured, this family has read medical books and knows some principles of medicine.

After listening to Jia Rong's argument, Lin Ruhai thought deeply and thought it was quite insightful, not just nonsense, so she excitedly asked him to give it a try.

Jia Min's death from illness made him even more precious to Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu had been frail and sick since she was a child. Lin Ruhai was afraid that Lin Daiyu would disappear one day and he would be left alone.

Therefore, after listening to Jia Rong's argument, it was like seeing the sun through the clouds, and suddenly enlightened.

Just like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, the much-anticipated "miracle" appeared and Jia Rong was able to cure Lin Daiyu.

Lin Ruhai explained Jia Rong's argument. Lin Daiyu and the nanny girl in the boudoir were all shocked. They felt that Jia Rong's argument was accurate!

She is indeed suffering from both Qi and blood deficiency. I always suffer from insomnia at night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The slightest movement can wake her up.

At this time, Lin Daiyu was even more curious about Jia Rong. She just felt that he knew everything, what a strange man he was!

"Thankfully, my mother brought me up since childhood." Lin Daiyu's eyes were bright, her lips curled up into a smile, and she looked at Jia Rong with a very friendly look. She thought to herself, "My mother has a spirit underground. She knows that Brother Rong is so promising. You must be happy too, right?"

Then, another thought came to me.

"Everyone says that a family that has accumulated good deeds will always be happy. My mother has been doing good deeds all her life. Could it be that she should be like this? She has her own destiny. She raised Brother Rong first, and then sent him to save me... "

Thinking like this, Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Rong more and more closely.

It seems that because of the existence of "Jia Min", the fate of her and Jia Rong is a little more involved, which is the blessing of "karma and reincarnation".

******

At this time, Lin Daiyu sat on the square stool and slowly stretched out her right hand. The maid covered it with a velvet handkerchief before asking Jia Rong to check her pulse.

Jia Rong stretched out her hand and put it on Lin Daiyu's soft wrist, but she only felt the touch was slightly cold.

After a few breaths, Lin Daiyu's skin temperature heated up the velvet handkerchief, and she finally felt the temperature.

At the same time, a faint fragrance came from Lin Daiyu's body. The fragrance was astonishing and refreshing. It is different from the fragrant incense on other girls. The fragrance on Lin Daiyu's body was obviously much lighter. It is a light body fragrance, a unique body fragrance mixed with the fragrance of flowers, herbs and spices.

"It looks like a hibiscus flower..." At this time, Jia Rong smelled the fragrance and had distracting thoughts. Immediately, he checked Lin Daiyu's pulse and also used the method of "looking, smelling, asking and feeling" to inquire about Lin Daiyu's condition.

Lin Daiyu's eyes were clear and she spoke softly to Jia Rong.

His demeanor was simple and upright, different from that of a child, revealing a mature and elegant attitude, which made Jia Rong secretly sigh when he saw it.

******

Does Jia Rong know Chinese medicine?

Actually, not really. He only acted as a "filial son" when Jia Zhen was seriously ill. He hurriedly read a few medical books and asked Dr. Wang for some "pulse diagnosis medicine".

But how does he know so much? What he said was so eloquent that even Lin Ruhai and his daughter were frightened.

That's because many red scholars in later generations have studied the medical principles of the Red Mansion world. Especially the typical medical cases like "Lin Daiyu" and "Xue Baochai" are thoroughly analyzed from the inside out.

Jia Rong read these treatises and secretly memorized the "argument" for the Twelve Golden Hairpins.

In particular, Jia Rong remembers the medicinal and nutritious formulas in it most clearly, because she has made them several times herself and has been tested by practice.

At this moment, Jia Rong adjusted her pulse evenly, used the pulse diagnosis method she had just learned from Dr. Wang on Lin Daiyu, asked a few questions about her condition, and then said to her in a deep voice: "I see well. Aunt Lin It is indeed a sign of congenital deficiency and deficiency of Qi and blood. The mangy monk did take the 'Ginseng Yangrong Pill' wrong. In my opinion, you should take 'Xiaoyao Powder' first. Does Aunt Lin have any evidence of acid reflux?"

Lin Daiyu nodded, "Yes, occasionally I get acid reflux and vomit some sour water."

"Then add the two medicinal herbs of Danzhi Xiaoyaosan, Danzhi Xiaoyaosan, to open up the appetite first and enhance the ability of nutrient absorption. Otherwise, the appetite cannot be opened, and all the decoctions will be accumulated in the stomach, which cannot be digested and absorbed. No. No magic formula will work."

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu felt that it was very reasonable and couldn't help but nod their heads. There was hope in his eyes, and he was obviously more looking forward to it.

"When your appetite is whetted, let's eat 'Jade Spirit Paste' again." Jia Rong talked in detail, asked the little maid for paper and pen, and started writing prescriptions.

But see: There are only two herbs above, "longan meat (longan)" and "American ginseng" (American ginseng), with a ratio of 10:1. Let's steam the two herbs, grind them into a paste, and then let them cool. Use a spoon to dig in and eat.

This is a recipe that Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu have never seen before.

It was invented by Wang Mengying, a febrile disease expert in the Qing Dynasty.

"Aunt Lin can't sleep at night because her body is cold. Eating this can warm up the body and has the effect of calming the nerves and promoting sleep. Especially the longan meat is the best for replenishing blood and can specifically treat your deficiencies."

Lin Daiyu nodded, "Yes, I always have it at home, and I often eat longan and longan."

"Actually, the most important way to make longan is to brew it. Before and after dinner, Aunt Lin can make a pot of longan tea or a bowl of longan soup and drink it. Don't eat it before going to bed."

Jia Rong smiled and ordered, Lin Daiyu nodded in agreement, Lin Ruhai and the wet nurses and maids in the hall also nodded secretly and silently remembered.

"Yu Ling Paste lays the foundation before replenishing blood and qi. Use the 'Blood Replenishing Prescription Siwu Decoction' or 'Danggui Blood Replenishing Decoction'. Of course, the 'Yu Ling Paste' or 'Longan Tea' or 'Longan Decoction' I mentioned are also required. Drink it often. Change your usual meals to 'longan and purple rice porridge'."

Speaking of which, Jia Rong wrote two medicinal prescriptions and one medicated diet prescription. Carefully explained the details and tips. Lin Ruhai and his daughter all nodded repeatedly, thanking Jia Rong for being attentive.

Then, Jia Rong explained some blood-tonifying foods that Lin Daiyu should eat, such as: black sesame seeds, red beans, brown sugar, black-bone chicken, pork liver, eggs, spinach, carrots, beetroots, dried longans, red dates, grapes, mulberries, etc. .

Finally, she told Lin Daiyu not to be too nervous, pay attention to taking care of her mood, and make herself happy.

"When you are in a happy mood, your health will be good. When you are in good health, my old uncle will be happy, and he will also be in good health. If you are all well, our relatives will also be happy, and we will be well together. Everyone is healthy and high. Being happy and having peace and joy for a lifetime is a blessing, don’t you think?”

Jia Rong said with a smile.

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu thought that her parents had been worried about her for so many years because she was frail and sick. I couldn't help but the tip of my nose was sore, my eyes were red, and my black and white eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

In an instant, Jia Rong glared and scolded, "Hold it back, don't cry!"

Lin Daiyu: "..."

Her sad mood was suddenly interrupted by Jia Rong. The mist in his eyes dissipated, and he looked at Jia Rong glaring and glaring, but he was not afraid. Instead, he found it interesting. He just felt that he was "pretending to be powerful".

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu burst out laughing, and her smile was as bright as a flower.

The whole boudoir became a little brighter.
