At this time, the sky was already late, Wang Pingan came down from the stage and was a little dazed. Niu Zhenghong didn't arrange a place for him to stay, and Niu Bula also forgot. At this time, he actually had nowhere to live and didn't know where to go.
Fortunately, at this moment, a servant flashed out from the dark under the wall, and this servant seemed to have been waiting here all the time. Maybe he was afraid of trouble, so Niu Zhenghong specially left him!
The servant quickly came to Wang Ping's side and said in a low voice, "Young Master, please come this way. The old master has ordered that no matter how late you return, you must see him first!"
Wang Ping'an nodded and followed the servant, who led him through the halls and rooms to a large garden. The governor's mansion was very big, and Niu Zhenghong did not live in the small building on the side.
Arriving at the gate, the path outside was a bit dark. The servant took out a lantern from behind the door, lit the candle inside, held it in his hand and said to Wang Ping'an: "Young Master, this way!"
After walking a dozen or so steps, the servant suddenly turned his head back and smiled at Wang Ping'an, saying: "Young Master, your medical skills are renowned, everyone knows that this time you will surely cure Old Master's illness!"
Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "How did you know... I don't have any medical skills, I'm just a distant poor relative of my wife!" Niu Zhenghong had told him before not to reveal his identity to the servants, lest they accidentally mention it in front of Niu. Moreover, he also discovered that this servant had bad breath, with a very strong odor.
The servant smiled again, he was a clever and nimble person, otherwise the master would not have sent him to pick up Wang Ping'an. The servant stopped in his tracks and said: "Young Master, I have something to ask you, lately I've been feeling tired all the time, especially after eating, my stomach is always bloated, and when I go to the toilet, what comes out is also..."
Wang Pingan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said: "Spleen deficiency, you must have oral ulcers. Hmm, I mean there are ulcers in your mouth!"
The servant was greatly surprised and thought to himself, "How did he know that I have ulcers in my mouth without even looking?" He said, "Yes, yes, I do have some ulcers in my mouth, and every year I get them several times. They are painful and there is a bad taste in my mouth. Can you, young master, cure me of this affliction?"
Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "If you want to cure it thoroughly, you still need to see a doctor. This is not an incurable disease!" He originally wanted to push the servant away and not mention that he knew medical skills, but after thinking about it, he felt sorry for him and said, "Then I'll take a look at you instead!"
The servant busily picked up the lantern and shone it on his face, opening his mouth to let Wang Ping'an take a look. Wang Ping'an narrowed his eyes, took a glance, nodded and said: "Right, no mistake, your symptoms are indeed caused by spleen deficiency. If you want to take medicine, go see a doctor, but I can teach you a method that can alleviate the pain!"
Wang Ping'an pointed to his mouth and said, "The spleen opens at the mouth. If you want to reduce pain, then go back tonight and soak your feet in hot water for at least two quarters of an hour, then press and rub this part of your foot..."
He lifted his foot and pointed to the spleen reflex zone on the sole, "Pressing and rubbing here can relieve pain and also reduce your fatigue!"
"This servant was amazed and said: 'Is it possible that by massaging the feet one can cure toothache? This is indeed a divine thing!'"
Wang Pingan nodded and said, "What's so mysterious about this? Your mouth is always getting sick, isn't it? If that's the case, you'd better not wait until you're sick to treat it, but rather prevent it from happening in the first place. Here, take a good look, every day you persist in knocking on this spot, at least one hundred times..." He pointed to the stomach reflex zone on his calf, "After you finish knocking, press the Blood Sea and Three Yin Intersection points, the time for pressing is... hmm, count to 120 in your heart, and that's about right!" He then showed the servant the locations of the Blood Sea and Three Yin Intersection points.
This servant went to feel the legs according to his directions, but it was not accurate in the dark. However, Wang Ping'an did not remind him, and he had a bit of understanding in his heart. Since this servant was sent to pick him up, he must be a clever person. A clever person would never stand on the road and ask about the small problem in his mouth. This servant was probably instructed by someone to test how much weight Wang Ping'an really had!
But then again, using oral ulcers to test oneself is really a bit too much, I reckon it won't be Niu Zhenghong but rather Mrs. Niu!
Aren't you trying to test me? Fine, I won't prescribe medicine for you then. Let's see how you try to test me! Wang Ping'an was not in a hurry and didn't urge him on, but just stood there smiling as he watched the servant scurry about.
This servant was busy for half a day, and his forehead was sweating, but he still didn't understand what was going on. He thought to himself: "Indeed, this is the little divine doctor! The method of treating illness is so profound, it's amazing!" Whatever he couldn't understand, he considered to be profound and extraordinary. This servant greatly admired Wang Ping'an's medical skills!
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Medicine is three points poisonous, you always get sick, eating medicine all the time isn't that simple! I'll tell you, the stomach meridian is originally used to treat oral ulcers, it's a great way to cure your disease without spending any money on medicine, and there's no toxicity at all. This method is very cost-effective, try it out in the future!"
"Yes, yes, I'll definitely try often in the future!" The servant wiped his sweat and thought to himself: "Originally, I thought he would prescribe some medicine for my oral problems, and by comparing it with the prescriptions of previous doctors, I could judge his level. But instead, he didn't prescribe any medicine, just told me to press my legs and feet... Alas, does this count as completing the task that madam entrusted to me?"
He is indeed sent by Mrs. Niu!
The servant led Wang Ping'an into a large garden, where there was a pavilion that was the usual residence of Niu Zhenghong. Entering the pavilion, both Niu Zhenghong and his wife were awake, waiting for news. Seeing Wang Ping'an arrive, Niu Zhenghong immediately pulled him down to sit and asked: "Good nephew, have you made a definite diagnosis?"
Mrs. Niu looked at the servant, who nodded slightly, and only then did she smile. She also knew that using this small illness to test Wang Ping'an was a bit too much, but as a woman who usually didn't go out and didn't know anyone, she couldn't think of a better way either! She waved her hand to dismiss the servant and sat down to listen to Wang Ping'an's words.
Wang Ping'an took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and nodded heavily, saying: "It's already been diagnosed. Just now, taking advantage of the bath, I did a thorough examination of my nephew from head to toe, and we can draw conclusions!"
"What, what's wrong with him? Is it serious?" Niu Zhenghong's eyes were wide with worry, and his wife was also very tense, her ears perked up, waiting for Wang Ping'an to make a diagnosis!
Wang Pingan hesitated for a moment, and didn't say anything right away. This was getting out of hand - the two of them almost fainted together. Could it be that this illness is very serious?
Wang Ping hesitated, wondering whether to tell the truth or follow the trend of the early Tang Dynasty and exaggerate a bit. Looking at the tense expressions of Niu Shi's couple, he finally did not exaggerate, as he had to take care of the patient's emotions and also consider the emotions of the patient's family members, and could not treat them differently just because of their special status.
He said: "The appearance is mainly due to the hyperactivity of liver yang, but this is only a manifestation. In reality, it is a symptom of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. This means that the symptoms of this disease are caused by the hyperactivity of liver yang, which in turn is caused by the deficiency of liver and kidney yin. Therefore, the root cause is the deficiency of liver and kidney yin, while the manifestation is the hyperactivity of liver yang, accompanied by internal wind! If we want to treat it, we should treat both the root and the manifestation, with the root as the main focus and the manifestation as the secondary focus."
Niu's wife didn't understand, but she hastily said: "Good nephew, you say these aunts and uncles don't understand either, just tell me how to treat it?"
Niu Zhenghong said, "Slow down, don't talk about how to treat it first, I want to hear how you got this illness. If we don't get to the bottom of this, my heart will always have a knot in it!" How can his heart not have a knot? His grandfather scolds him every day, and he must figure out why.
Wang Ping'an sighed and said: "Actually, this illness is caused by you, Brother-in-law!"
"What? How is this possible?" Niu Zhenghong was shocked!
