Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 24 Jia Zhen’s Tips

Mei Xiang and Chuntao's massage techniques were both professionally learned. It was completely different from what Jia Rong had enjoyed in her previous life. It is an authentic Taoist massage method. It has the effects of strengthening the body, strengthening the body and dispelling diseases. It is a very elegant way of enjoyment for ancient nobles. (I couldn’t find any ancient massage methods, so I only learned one article called "Mijingzi Massage Method" to teach to all my book friends. Due to copyright reasons, I dare not write about actual operations. I recommend buying a physical book and practicing with the videos of the old Taoist. The merits of the old Taoist Infinite!)

Jia Rong clenched fists with both hands (press the thumb at the root of the ring finger, curl up the four fingers and press on the thumb), then put his hands on both sides of his head, palms facing up.

Mei Xiang calmly breathed naturally, rubbed her hands together to warm them, and then started massaging.

The first step is to massage the face and head (front). Mainly massage the acupoints on the Yintang, temples, bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang and gallbladder meridian of Foot Shaoyang on the head, the small intestine meridian of Hand Taiyang and the maxillary points of Stomach meridian of Foot Yangming.

Gallbladder meridian.

The third step is to massage the chest and abdomen to smoothen the Qi in the abdomen, mainly by pushing and rubbing the chest and abdomen. On the one hand, it continues to regulate the Ren channel, and on the other hand, it can regulate the internal organs through the pushing and kneading of the abdomen.

Meridian and Yongquan point.

The fifth step is to massage the Du Channel to solve the problem of insufficiency of Qi.

Jia Rongping lies on the bed, that is, lying face down, relaxing his back and keeping it parallel to the bed.

Mei Xiang stands directly behind, with both hands in a half-clenched fist state except for the thumb and index finger. The index finger of both hands is bent, and the side of the second joint adjacent to the thumb is gently pressed against the Mingmen point on the back corresponding to the navel. Gently pinch the skin with your thumb and index finger, and slowly lift it vertically. If you apply more force, you can hear a "crunching" sound.

Then exchange hands with each other, and gradually pinch the skin up along the Du Meridian of the spine until it reaches the Dazhui point on the protruding bone at the back of the neck and parallel to the shoulder.

Then rub both sides of Dazhui point with both hands.

The sixth step is to massage the back to continue to help the Qi on the back flow upward, involving the Du Channel, the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, Dazhui Point, Mingmen, Qihai Point, Huantiao Point, etc. Massage techniques include pressing, dialing, hammering, and pushing.

The eighth step is head (rear) massage, involving the Du Channel, Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, and acupoints such as Fengfu, Fengchi, and Baihui. (The force used here should be moderate, and do not press the Yamen point on children who cannot speak.)
  The ninth step is to massage the arms and hands, involving the Jueyin Pericardium Meridian of Hand, Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin, Lung Meridian of Hand Taiyin, Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming, Sanjiao Meridian of Hand Shaoyang and Quze, Chize, Neiguan, Lao Palace points, etc.

"Master, are you comfortable? Do you feel a breath of air going to the soles of your feet? It's warm."

After a set of massage movements, Mei Xiang was dripping with sweat, and the hair on her forehead was stuck with sweat beads, but she asked Jia Rong with a smile.

"Ah."

Jia Rong gradually loosened his fists and felt the flow of Qi and blood. There was a hot stream going from the top of the body down to the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot. Then it exploded like fireworks at the Yongquan point, and the whole area of ​​the foot became hot.

The fatigue from a day of archery at Dongping County Prince's Mansion disappeared without a trace. (The first massage will make you feel very sleepy and make you want to sleep. But Jia Rong is in excellent health and has strong qi and blood, so she will skip the initial symptoms after the massage.)
  "It's time to go and tell the good news to the master and his wife."

Jia Rong stretched and asked Mei Xiang to change his clothes.

Not long after, a beautiful young man wearing a blue gauze scarf, a rhinoceros silver horn hairpin running through his hair, and a silver kudzu gauze pleat (tie), dressed up, appeared in front of the full-length mirror.

Then Jia Rong walked out of the main room and asked the second-class maid on duty to carry the boxes and cages of Mang Dui and Da Hongzhuang Dui. They walked out of the second courtyard and handed them to the third-class maid in the front yard. They followed him north through the corridor to the west. Hall.

"Is the master here?"

A third-class servant guarding the door shook her head, pointed to You's courtyard and said, "I went to my wife's room today."

Jia Rong nodded, which saved me a lot of trouble. He immediately turned around and walked towards Youshi's courtyard.

He stopped outside the door of Youshi's courtyard and asked the doorman to report. He quickly received a response. "My wife and I are asking you to come in."

Jia Rong nodded, thanked him for his hard work, and immediately asked the third-class servant in Youshi's courtyard to carry two pythons and four big red pigeons, and followed him into the yard.

Entering the You family's hall, Jia Rong saw Jia Zhen and You family sitting in the hall. She immediately bent her right knee and half-kneeled, and gave Jia Zhen and You family a thousand greetings.

"My son, Jiarong, would like to send my regards to the master and his wife."

As soon as he finished speaking, Youshi smiled and said: "Get up quickly, you have worked hard today. I heard that you made a splash in the Dongping County Prince's Palace and won the top prize in martial arts. You also stole the show in Biyunxuan and fell hard on the town. You have the face of a brother from the Duke's mansion. The master was very happy after hearing this and praised you for your achievements."

"It's all your duty."

Jia Rong smiled, and asked someone to present the python and red makeup, and said: "Today's jackpot is 100 taels of gold, 500 taels of silver, ten pythons, and twenty red makeups, with yarns of various colors. Fifty horses, four pearl collars, two strings of red musk beads, two ends of a phoenix tail, a collar of hibiscus mat, a set of fine pen, ink, paper and inkstone. And one English Pegasus (thoroughbred horse).

"I kept the others aside, and only took out Mang Duan and Da Hongzhuang Duan, thinking of giving a share to the master and his wife. I also gave a share to Brother Qiang. In addition, there were the old lady, the eldest master, and the others in the mansion. The second master, the second uncle Lian, the second uncle Bao, the third uncle Huan, and the third uncle Cong will all give one. In short, it is a happy event, and I want to make everyone in the two houses happy. If there is anything that is not thoughtful, , please teach me."

Jia Rong respectfully finished his plan.

Jia Zhen had a sullen face and snorted coldly: "How generous of you! How many families have enough wealth to spend money on such a gift?"

There was a dead silence in the hall.

Everyone knew his attitude towards Jia Rong, so no one said anything and only listened quietly.

Maybe today, Jia Rong became famous and won the first prize in martial arts in the Dongping County Prince's Palace, which earned him face. Although Jia Zhen was scolding as usual, her tone was much softer, and her words were a little more directive.

"Humph, what an unfilial son! You only thought about the people in that house, but you forgot about the roots of your own family. Let me ask you, after you have given away these ten pythons and twenty big red makeups, do you want the master outside the city? Send? Zhang Shenxian in Qingxu Temple is also the elder according to his generation. Do you want to take care of it? You are the direct grandson of the Jia clan. How many people in the clan rely on you to live their lives. It is such a happy event that you won the first prize. Do you want to open an ancestral hall? Report it to our ancestors so that all the men in the clan can take advantage of it?"

Jia Zhen said something, and Jia Rong's face darkened.

To be honest, he really hadn't thought about it that carefully. He only cared about the people in front of him, but forgot that Ningguo Mansion was a big family, and there were many people and worldly interactions. No matter who he is, he will be said to have forgotten his roots.

Alas, although Jia Zhen cannot take on big things, as the patriarch of the Jia clan for so many years, she still has a few skills in worldliness.

I underestimated Jia Zhen.

"Yes, thanks to the master's reminder, I didn't think carefully enough."

Speaking of this, Jia Rong sighed with sincerity: "I was lucky enough to win the first prize today and received the lottery from the Prince's Palace. I couldn't help but feel a little complacent. But I forgot that I am the Optimus Prime in Ning Mansion. It is your plant. The towering trees shade my children and grandchildren, which is why my son is as prosperous as he is today. I must be cautious in the future and learn from my master in everything."

In an instant, everyone in the hall looked at Jia Rong differently.

"Brother Rong is indeed different. He dares to stand up and speak in front of the master. He speaks in an orderly and logical manner. He belittles himself and promotes the master in every word. He looks much more mature and steady in his eyes."

Youshi and her two girls looked at Jia Rong silently, their eyes filled with wonder.

Not just them.

Even Jia Zhen looked at Jia Rong with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
