Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 975 Tense Dialect, Historical Revision? (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader [Guagua Gui])
“I haven’t eaten anything I shouldn’t have recently.” Zhu Lin shook his head at Fang Yan. “You know what I eat. I don’t usually crave certain things, after all, I understand the saying ‘illness enters through the mouth.’”

“The vomit smelled sour, but not rotten, and I was a little thirsty,” she added. “As for falling or being bumped by someone, that’s impossible; I’ve been very careful since I got pregnant.”

Fang Yan nodded. There was no external injury, no food stagnation causing heat, and no food intake that would cause stomach qi to rise. There was only slight damage to body fluids. It seemed that this should be "childhood vexation" caused by deficiency of yin and blood.

Zhu Lin's red tongue with yellow coating and rapid pulse suggest yin deficiency and internal heat. The wiry and slippery pulse is related to liver stagnation transforming into fire, which is consistent with the pathological mechanism of "yin and blood deficiency and liver fire disturbing the heart".

Thinking of this, Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

This situation is relatively easy to handle.

This is likely due to blood pooling to nourish the fetus during pregnancy, leading to insufficient yin and blood in the mother's body. After the yin and blood become deficient, internal heat is generated, and the deficiency fire disturbs the mind.

A wiry, slippery, and rapid pulse indicates stagnation of liver qi transforming into fire. When liver qi stagnation transforms into fire, the fire disturbs the mind and causes irritability, and when it attacks the stomach, it causes vomiting due to qi stagnation.

Treatment should focus on nourishing yin and blood to replenish the mother's deficiencies, clearing heat and relieving irritability to calm the deficiency fire, and soothing the liver and relieving depression to harmonize the qi mechanism, while also paying attention to preventing miscarriage.

Unlike other times, Fang Yan thought about it several times before taking out the form and writing it down.

The list was completed very quickly:

Coptis chinensis 6g (clears heart fire)

10g of donkey-hide gelatin (melted, nourishes yin and blood)

White peony root 15g (soothes the liver and nourishes yin)
Scutellaria baicalensis 9g (clears liver heat, calms the fetus)
15g of raw Rehmannia root (nourishes Yin and cools the blood)

Ophiopogon japonicus 12g (nourishes yin and promotes body fluid production)
9g of bamboo leaves (to clear heat and relieve irritability)
Poria cocos 12g (calms the mind and soothes the nerves)
Bupleurum 6g (to soothe the liver and relieve depression)
Licorice root 6g (to harmonize the effects of other herbs)
Considering Zhu Lin's symptoms of vomiting, thirst, and insomnia, Fang Yan added 6g of ginger and pinellia to relieve nausea and vomiting, which can be combined with the scutellaria above to reduce its dryness. She also added 12g of glehnia and 12g of polygonatum to enhance the body fluid production. In addition, she added 15g of jujube seed to nourish the heart and calm the mind.

After confirming that there were no medications that could cause bleeding or miscarriage, Fang Yan finally confirmed the prescription.

This is a modified version of Huanglian Ejiao Decoction and Zhuye Shigao Decoction from the "Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber".

Coptis and donkey-hide gelatin decoction nourishes yin and reduces internal heat, while bamboo leaf and gypsum decoction clears heat and generates fluids.

Fang Yan then thought about it for a while, a little suspicious, and checked the prescription he had written several times, and sorted out the explanation of the prescription.

Coptis chinensis plus Scutellaria baicalensis: Clears heat from the heart and liver, while Scutellaria baicalensis also has the effect of calming the fetus.

Donkey-hide gelatin plus Rehmannia glutinosa plus Ophiopogon japonicus: nourishes yin and blood, replenishes yin fluids to control deficiency fire.

White peony root plus Bupleurum: Soothes and calms the liver, and harmonizes stagnant liver qi.

Bamboo leaves with Poria cocos: Clears heat and relieves irritability, calms the mind and soothes the nerves.

As for the three additional herbs:
The combination of ginger-processed Pinellia ternata and Scutellaria baicalensis (already included in the original formula) forms a "pungent-opening and bitter-descending" combination, which not only stops vomiting but also prevents the warm dryness from damaging Yin, in line with the principle of "clearing heat without harming the stomach and descending rebellious Qi without depleting Qi" for stabilizing pregnancy.

Both Adenophora stricta and Polygonatum odoratum are sweet and cold in nature, and they are specifically used to replenish the yin fluids of the lungs and stomach. Together with donkey-hide gelatin and Ophiopogon japonicus, they form a "yin-nourishing iron triangle" that addresses the essence of yin deficiency step by step.

Sour jujube seed has an astringent effect that nourishes liver blood, while Poria cocos has a sweet and bland taste that calms the mind. Together, they astringe and drain, achieving the effect of "nourishing yin and blood and calming the mind," directly addressing the core pathogenesis of "utter distress."

It should be fine now...

He prescribed medicine for his wife, repeatedly confirming the prescription in dialect before he could finally relax.

Fang Yan stood up, holding the prescription, and said to Zhu Lin:
"Okay, I'll go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital right away to get the medicine and brew it."

"Mm." Zhu Lin nodded.

Fang Yan had only taken two steps when he stopped again and said to his mother:

"Mom, brew Linlin a cup of chrysanthemum tea. Let it cool down a bit before she drinks it; it'll help cleanse her liver."

The old woman quickly replied:

"okay!"

However, as she was holding the sixth child, her mother-in-law immediately said:

"I'm going to make a drink!"

At this moment, Zhu Lin suddenly said:
"By the way, is the pharmacy closed right now?"

A dialectal slap on the forehead:

"Oh yes!"

"I'll go call the dean."

After saying that, he ran into the study.

After calling the hospital director and briefly explaining the situation, the director told him to go directly to the pharmacy and the doctor on duty would come and open the door for him.

"Thank you, Dean! I'll treat you to dinner later!" Fang Yan said, then hung up the phone.

Then he dashed out in a flash.

This was the first time the family had seen Fang Yan appear so flustered.

Sure enough, when it involves one's own family, one's mindset changes completely.

What they didn't know was that Fang Yan wasn't just lying; he knew that the queen in her previous life had never had children.

I don't know if it's because I was childless by choice, or if I had an unplanned pregnancy and lost the ability to conceive.

If you're childless by choice, that's fine, but if you get pregnant and something goes wrong, people will start thinking about historical revisionism. And whatever you want to revise, don't let it affect your own child.

That's why he seemed a bit flustered and overly cautious.

When he arrived at the hospital, there was no one at the pharmacy entrance. After a while, the doctor on duty came over and greeted Fang Yan.
"Director Fang, are you still picking up medicine after get off work?"

He said in dialect:

"A family member is sick, so I need to take some medicine home. Thank you for your help."

The other party said:

"Oh dear, someone in the family is sick. We'd better hurry."

"Where's the prescription?" the doctor asked.

Take out the dialect and hand it to the other person:

"here."

Just as the other person was about to take it, Fang Yan pulled it back and said:

"Never mind, I'll just pick up the medicine myself!"

The doctor on duty was taken aback, but he was happy to have an easier time.

They immediately opened the door and let Fang Yan in.

The medicine drawers here are basically arranged in the same logic as those at Tongrentang. Fang Yan quickly found the corresponding medicinal materials. These are all high-quality and authentic medicinal materials. Fang Yan quickly picked out the medicinal materials he needed.

Then he said to the doctor on duty:

Where can I get a discount?

The on-duty doctor said:

"Oh, the dean said you can just take it."

"Okay, thanks!" Fang Yan said, then took his leave and jogged out of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and back to the courtyard house.

"You're back so soon?" The mother-in-law had just finished making chrysanthemum tea for Zhu Lin when Fang Yan returned.

The dialect responded:
"The dean gave the order, and I got the medicine as soon as I went over."

Without further explanation, he ran to the kitchen and started a fire to brew the medicine.

In about half an hour, the medicine that Fang Yan had been watching the whole time was ready.

Fang Yan carried the medicine to his wife, placed it on the table, and said:

"It's still a little hot, let me massage your acupoints."

As he spoke, he began massaging his wife's Taichong and Neiguan acupoints, which are known to soothe the liver and calm the mind.

Perhaps it was because of the massage, but seeing how attentive Fang Yan was, Zhu Lin suddenly felt most of her irritability disappear.

After a while, he drank the medicine that Fang Yan had personally brewed.

Sitting in the room, Zhu Lin let out a long breath and said:
"I feel much better."

She said:
"Try closing the door and see if you still feel upset."

Upon hearing this, Anton, who was standing at the door, immediately closed the wide-open main hall doors one by one.

At this moment, everyone looked at Zhu Lin, wondering how she was feeling.

She took a few deep breaths and said:
"Yes, it should be healed!"

Anton said to Fang Yan with delight:

"Master, your performance is truly outstanding!"

Fang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, saying:
"The effect is as good as a drumbeat, the effect is as good as a drumbeat..."

In retrospect, the historical correction did not affect my own children.

Next, Fang Yan went to the kitchen and soaked some white fungus and lotus seeds, planning to make white fungus and lotus seed soup for his wife the next morning.

From now on, the family's meals will be light, and anything a little oily will be removed.

As for my father-in-law's plan to improve our meals, which is coming up soon, he'll just have to make do with light dishes.

Just after the dialect was finished, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard house.

I opened the dialect and took a look.

It turned out to be the dean and his wife, the elderly couple who had come to visit Zhu Lin.

We really have to thank them for today. When they heard that Zhu Lin was sick, they immediately sent someone to open the door without saying a word. The last time something like this happened was when Director Liao was sick.

PS: Thank you to reader [Guagua Gui] for the generous donation! Wishing you good health!

As agreed, each alliance leader owes five chapters, and this is currently the fifth chapter.

Currently, there are bonus chapters for monthly pass holders, and I owe everyone 93000 words.

There will be more this afternoon.
