Chapter 122: Sister and Cousin (7)

  Yao Cunhui shook his head and said in a light tone, "There's no other way. Just ask a skilled doctor to carefully cut open the painful area and remove the foreign object."

  Lu Jinyu and Zheng Yi couldn't help but change their expressions, whispering in shock, revealing a look of unbearable disgust. Several young masters looked at Yao Cunhui's calm and serene expression, as if she was talking about something extremely ordinary, and they couldn't help but feel secretly shocked: What is this girl's heart made of? She talks about such cruel and bloody things without batting an eyelid.

  "That, wouldn't that be very painful!" Fu Jia Gongzi thought for a moment and also felt a chill run down his spine. Think about it, good skin and flesh, going in with a knife like that, not only cutting open but also taking out foreign objects from inside...

  "That's natural," said Yao Cunhui with a smile. "It depends on how your uncle chooses! I'd like to remind you that it's been so many years since then, and the foreign object is probably already deeply embedded in his flesh and blood. It would be risky to cut it out alive! This foreign object was not discovered at the time, it must have been buried very deep. If the knife accidentally injured the meridian when cutting, it's highly likely that one leg will be disabled! Even with anesthesia, the pain won't be light! Besides, this is just my guess, as for whether there is a foreign object in his leg and whether the pain is caused by it, I don't dare to guarantee!" After all, you can't see it with your own eyes, and you can't take pictures of things under the skin. Who can predict accurately?

  Fu Jia's young master felt a slight chill on his spine, Zheng Yiren was even more timid and just imagining it made her face pale, she hastily called out: "Hui sister stop saying that, don't say it! It sounds really scary!"

  "Pfft!" Yao Cunhui couldn't help but burst out laughing and then stopped. But in her heart, she didn't think it was anything to be afraid of.

  Xie Fu's mouth twitched, and he silently cursed: Wife, you've given me a task that's doomed to fail! Don't blame me, wife, it's just that Second Sister is too fierce! Talking about this bloody and brutal thing with a straight face, as if it's nothing out of the ordinary, which man would dare to marry her?! This isn't a matter of whether she can be tamed or not, but rather, what if she loses her temper one day and gives you a good beating? Who could withstand that?! Even if she doesn't beat her own husband like this, which man would want his wife to be so fierce?!

  "Thank you, thank you for reminding me, Miss Yao." Fu Gongzi's face was slightly pale, but he still smiled and thanked her.

  "I didn't help much, you're being polite!" Yao Cunhui also spoke bluntly.

  Later, after Fu Jia's son returned home, he saw his uncle suffering and finally couldn't help but tell him about Yao Cunhui's deduction. His uncle listened and almost slapped himself in the head, shouting repeatedly that he hadn't thought of such a simple root cause. In his heart, he was most clear that this must be where the problem lay!

  Then, they immediately called the Fu family to contact a doctor, prepared anesthesia, and he performed a scene of Guan Gong scraping bones. The doctor was forced to make an incision, and after a round of near-death agony and bloodshed, they actually managed to extract a stone about one inch long and the size of a pinky finger from the flesh! The stone was almost stuck to the bone, lying horizontally in the muscle, wrapped in a mass of flesh and blood. It had been ground smooth and lost its edges, with a dark red color. The old man clenched his teeth, holding onto the stone, while Fu Jia Gongzi and his brothers attended to him by his side, their stomachs churning so much that they almost threw up last night's dinner!

  This was after Yao Cunhui returned to Beijing. Old man Fu was grateful and remembered this kindness on Yao Cunjia's head.

  Li's young master wanted to speak but hesitated, and finally couldn't help but laugh: "I also have a difficult problem here, I'd like to ask Miss Yao for advice, I don't know if it's too presumptuous?"

  It's a free clinic today! Yao Cunhui only felt that facing such a beautiful scene, listening to everyone playing the piano and reciting poetry was good enough, why make such a big fuss? Moreover, there were so many difficult and miscellaneous diseases, could she say that she was lucky, and heaven specially let her show off her medical skills?

  "Master Li doesn't have to be polite. If I say something wrong or can't answer, just don't mind!" Yao Cunhui smiled and said.

  Lu Jinyu's face showed a hint of unease, fearing it was another unbearable case. Zheng Yi asked timidly, "Won't it be... very frightening?" If you're afraid, then don't say it!

  Li Gongzi couldn't help but burst out laughing and hastily said, "Don't worry, don't worry, not at all! It's like this, I have a relative who was diagnosed by a doctor to have kidney stones in his stomach, which cannot be completely cured. He often has episodes of severe pain, cold sweats, and doesn't know what to do."

  Yao Cun Hui's expression relaxed, and he smiled: "You've asked the right person! I have a method here that you can try with your relatives. Take a pound of small scallions with roots intact, wash them clean, and put them in a pot along with a washed pig trotter to simmer in broth. The pig trotter must include the hoof and skin. After cooking, eat the pig trotter, scallions, and all the soup and water. Wait for five days and then eat it again. After three or four times, you'll be cured! Remember, use small scallions, not big ones, and make sure the pig trotter includes the part with the hoof!"

  "This really works?" Li Gongzi was extremely surprised. Is it just this simple?

  "Alright, let's give it a try." Yao Cunhui smiled and glanced at Lu Jinyu, Zheng Yi, and others, thinking to herself that not only had these women never seen pigs running in a pigpen, but even these young masters probably hadn't either, or else they would have already lost their appetite.

  "I suppose the water quality at your relative's house is not very good? Is it easy for a thick layer of scale to form in the pot when boiling tea? Tell them to eat more pig blood, chicken and duck blood on ordinary days, which can effectively prevent. Also, the well water, river water, and spring water that are drawn every day should be boiled before drinking, don't drink raw water."

  "So that's the case, it seems many people over there have also suffered from kidney stones, I suppose it really is due to the water! Thank you, Miss Yao!" Li Gongzi smiled and nodded his head. A dead horse can still be used as a doctor, no harm in telling relatives to give it a try.

  Yao Cun Hui smiled and said, "Don't be polite, this method, in her previous life, she had let many people try it, but none of them worked. I suppose in this era, scallions are still scallions, and pig trotters haven't changed either? Hopefully, it will be effective!"

  The prince furrowed his brow in deep thought, thinking of going home to ask his brother who loved reading medical books if he had seen such a miraculous prescription in any of the medical books.

  "Me too, me too!" Zheng Yi suddenly exclaimed, tugging at Yao Cun Hui's arm, pointing to her own cheek with one hand and pouting: "Sister Hui, look, I've got two pimples here! Had to cover them up with powder. How annoying, just when one spot heals, another one appears, not a single day of peace all year round!"

  The bitter expression on her small face made Yao Cunhui and Lu Jinyu both laugh.

  Yao Cun Hui smiled and said, "What's so difficult about that? Normally, eat less greasy, spicy food. I'll give you two more prescriptions, go back and try them out!"

  Lu Jinyu's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands with a smile: "Exactly! Why don't you, sister, write out two more beauty recipes for us? We can try them when we get back!" As she spoke, she called over the maid to prepare the writing materials. The two sisters-in-law giggled and pulled Yao Cunhui over to the desk.

  The crowd of young masters all smiled and followed them, chatting on this side, the topic intentionally or unintentionally revolved around the prosperity of the Xie manor, asking him about his wife's sister.

  Yao Cunhui hadn't forgotten Xu Wanzhu, and didn't want her to be with Xie Fu Yun together either, so he smiled and said: "Is Elder Sister Wan coming over too?"

  Which girl doesn't love beauty? Although Xu Wanting didn't really want to go in her heart, she couldn't resist the temptation after all. She smiled and responded with a "good", then also got up and went over.

  Lu Jinyu shifted her attention and didn't squeeze her out either.

  Yao Cunhui indeed wrote a few prescriptions:

  Angelica dahurica, white wax each eight taels, White附子, Xin夷乌头, windproof, Perilla frutescens, commercial road each two points, Artemisia argyi, Atractylodes macrocephala each four points, Lingling fragrance three points, musk one point, finely ground into powder, vinegar soak overnight, with cattle oil one liter, goose oil one liter, sheep oil five liters, sesame oil two liters and other oils and fats fried until the formation of a light yellow ointment. Wash face with soap bean soup, then apply the ointment to the face. Two days once, after three or four times can be cured.

  Another whitening recipe: "White melon seeds 5 parts, white poplar bark 2 parts, peach blossoms 4 parts, grind into a fine powder, mix with wild honey to form a dragon eye pill, take 3 pills daily, visible results in half a month."

  Lu Jinyu and others received it, thanked him, and asked Yao Cunhui to open a few more, asking many related questions. Yao Cunhui had no choice but to smile and write two more copies, discussing them with the women one by one. The more they talked, the more interested they became, even Xu Wanting couldn't help but listen.

  Until the end of the boat trip, Lu's sisters were still reluctant to part with each other, and they bid farewell to Yao Cunhui with a lingering attachment, smiling and saying that they would visit again another day. Yao Cunhui smiled in response.

  Xie Fu Yun suddenly felt like a total failure! Clearly it was supposed to be a meeting between prospective in-laws, but instead it had turned into...

  "Doesn't Brother-in-law Mo have something else to attend to? It seems a bit..." Yao Cunhui couldn't help but ask with a smile in the carriage.

  "No," Xie Fu Yun smiled and looked at her, "Look at how tired you are today. I said I'd take you out to have some fun, but in the end, we didn't do anything. Don't tell your sister when we get back, or she'll scold me for not doing a good job!"

  This sentence is really sincere. If Yao Cun Jia knew that the good meeting to see his future brother-in-law turned into his sister first explaining and then still explaining, he wouldn't be angry for no reason!

  "It's actually great that I can go out and have a stroll, but I still think it's better to stay at home with my sister!" Yao Cunhui smiled slightly.

  There are only three days left until Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the festival, she will go to Lake Town and then hurry back to Beijing. As for Zan in Beijing, she couldn't put her mind at ease, even if it were her sister, how could she be at ease with him? However, this Xū Wǎnzhú is also a trouble if not solved, it seems that she should find an opportunity to have a frank talk with her brother-in-law. It's necessary to know that in this matter, the attitude and stance of her brother-in-law are crucial!

  Xie Fu Yun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Second sister, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters!"

  The second sister is happy, and naturally the wife will not be angry.
