Jinyi Spring

Chapter 39 Fatty
Soon, the lawyer inside came out and personally helped Feng Buji up.

He stroked his goatee and laughed, "Hahaha, little Buji, Lord Li has always been thinking about you. Do those tribesmen still bully you orphans? How is the construction of the memorial archway going?"

Feng Buji said, "The tribe members no longer bully us, and my sister and I are living well. The wooden stakes for the memorial archway have been set up, and the stones are being brought in one after another..."

The master laughed and said, "The little boy is smart. He even knows 'Luxu'. He is worthy of being the descendant of Doctor Feng. Life is long, and you need to study hard and bring honor to your aunt and the Feng family..."

Feng Buji expressed his determination and left.

The brother and sister went to the next cell and gave the jailer and two jailers several pounds of candy they had bought on the way, thanking them for taking care of Feng Chuchen.

It was already noon when they finished these things. They went to a noodle stall to eat noodles and then hired a donkey cart to go to Dechun Hall.

Doctor Fang was very surprised to see Feng Buji with a flushed face and gaining weight, and he was even more surprised after feeling his pulse.

"This child's asthma has almost recovered. If it continues at this rate, he may not even be fully recovered."

He has been practicing medicine for decades. He has found that patients with severe asthma like Feng Buji's basically do not survive to adulthood, let alone recover.

Feng Chuchen smiled and said, "Yes. In previous years, my brother's cough would get worse and he would have trouble breathing when autumn came. This year, not only has his asthma improved a lot, his stomach has also improved a lot, and he has gained more than four pounds in the past month."

After discussing Feng Bu Ji's condition, the two readjusted several medicines.

Afterwards, they went to the new house in Beianfang to discuss how to decorate the house and make furniture.

Open the clinic later and go to the second house first.

Since the house is named after Feng Buji, let Feng Buji live in the main house.

The tablets of my eldest aunt and Mr. and Mrs. Feng Qiuen are enshrined in the west wing of the main house.

Feng Chuchen lives in the east wing, Aunt Wang lives in the west wing, and Banxia and Shaoyao live in the south wing...

A small door should be opened in the wall between the two houses to facilitate entry and exit.

There was a carpentry shop two alleys ahead. Aunt Wang invited Carpenter Guo to her home to measure the dimensions and tell her what furniture to make.

The requirements for wood and workmanship are not high, no carving is required, just painting is enough.

It would cost about twenty taels of silver, so Feng Chuchen paid a deposit of five taels of silver first.

It was already 3 p.m. when they finished all this, and they hired a donkey cart to return to Baima Village.

This place is not far from Xihemen, and you can get home in an hour.

Feng Chuchen asked Aunt Wang to go to the village tomorrow and spread the news that the family had spent all the money on buying a house.

She was thinking about the future again.

There are only twenty or so taels of silver left in the family now, and I don’t know when I can save enough money to open a clinic.

No matter which society it is, one cannot make a fortune by saving lives. This goes against the original intention of a doctor and is also a blasphemy to the title.

However, not everyone can use her most profitable Shangyin Shenzhen.

My eldest aunt has saved 308 people in the past 20 years, which means that only 11 or 12 people a year are lucky enough to receive the Yin Shen needle.

Because they don't deliver babies themselves, they will miss sick babies, and even fewer will meet children who can be treated with magic acupuncture.

I need to make more Sophora flavescens repair ointment and sell it for money...

The next day it rained and became even colder.

The news that the Feng family bought a house in the capital spread like a cold wind, blowing to every corner of Baima Village.

Some are envious, some hate, and some feel lost.

Aunt Zhao, the wife of the village chief, and Grandma Zhao, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Zhao's eldest son, braved the rain to come to the Feng family to inquire about the news. Both of them looked unhappy. Aunt Zhao was very rude, "Chen girl, you forgot this book too quickly. I, the head of the family, have made a lot of efforts to get Dr. Feng honored. The honor has just been given and the memorial archway has not been built yet, and you want to leave? You don't remember the favor."

Grandma Zhao added, "Sister Chuchen is young, and the people in the city are cunning, not as simple and kind as the people in the countryside. You orphans and orphans can live in the countryside with us neighbors to take care of you. In the city, what should you do if you encounter hooligans and bullies? You will only be bullied."

Zhao Lizheng's wife was unhappy about moving, and Feng Chuchen understood.

She was afraid that if she passed away, she would take the honor of "Mother of a Thousand Babies" with her.

But why was Grandma Zhao unhappy?

Thinking that Zhao Wei hadn't married yet, was he also eyeing her? Also, thinking that Zhao Wei was so cocky, it was impossible for him to fall in love with a country girl.

It must be something else.

Orphans, rich and honored, are a piece of fat meat that everyone wants to fight for.

Feng Chuchen explained, "We bought two houses in Beijing. We rent one out to make some money, and we occasionally live in the other one so that my brother can go to the hospital. This is our permanent home, and we will stay here most of the time.

"We will always remember the friendship between Uncle Zhao and Mr. Zhao. As for the gangsters and bullies, I am not afraid of going to jail, so why should I be afraid of them? If they provoke me, I will go to the government office and beat the drum to appeal for justice..."

Aunt Zhao felt better and forced a smile, "No need to ask the county magistrate, I, the head of the household, can help you."

Grandma Zhao was even more anxious. The third brother had always looked down on this girl, so he had to get along with her as soon as possible, otherwise she would run away and leave the family with nothing. She secretly cursed the third brother for being too ambitious, and he was not willing to accept Feng Chuchen's good conditions...

After the two men left, Feng Chuchen lit a stick of incense and a piece of lamp cord.

In ancient times, people used "rest" to calculate time when diagnosing diseases.

"One breath" refers to the total process of one exhalation and one inhalation with a pause in between. The number of breaths in one minute is the number of breaths in one minute.

Under normal circumstances, one minute is equivalent to eighteen breaths.

In his previous life, Feng Chuchen had mastered the art of breathing eighteen times a minute in his practice of pulse diagnosis. Not only was he able to feel the pulse accurately, he also did not need to check the time when using a stethoscope.

But beginners Pinellia and Aunt Wang need it.

"Auscultation" is simpler and more direct than taking the pulse, and they can use it when doing prenatal checkups or delivering babies.

When the incense stick burned out, Feng Chuchen quickly pinched out the lamp cord and made a mark on the lamp cord of the same length.

She nailed one end of the lamp cord to a small wooden board, leaving just enough length for it to burn for one minute, or eighteen breaths.

For eighteen breaths, a heart rate of sixty to one hundred is normal.

The fetal heart sounds are different.

In the early stages of fetal heart formation, the fetal heart rate is slow, and monitoring of the fetal heart rate may be 65 to 75 beats per minute. By the eighth week of pregnancy, it reaches about 125 beats per minute. At 11 weeks, it reaches about 175 beats per minute. After the second trimester of pregnancy, it will basically be around 110 to 160 beats...

If the fetal heart rate is found to be more than 160 beats per minute in the second trimester, it may be caused by fetal hypoxia due to reduced amniotic fluid, abnormal placenta or umbilical cord. If the fetal heart rate is less than 120 beats per minute, intrauterine hypoxia is more serious.

All of these situations must be dealt with promptly.

However, medical conditions in ancient times were limited, and treatment could only be achieved through medication, acupuncture, and exercises.

There will be errors in the timing of the light rope, so to prevent misjudgment, listen twice each time.

However, the ancients had a talent for calculating time, just as they could calculate the approximate time by looking at the sun and the moon.

After a long time, you will naturally be able to accurately calculate the time of eighteen breaths without looking at the lamp rope.

Feng Chuchen complained in his heart that it would be difficult for a woman who traveled through time without a space or system to do anything.
