Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 205

But Jiang Yipei only has so little money, he really can't bear to spend it cheaply!

So, after trying to pull it to the limit, it still didn't work, so I had to use my wife as a sacrifice.

Jiang Yipei came in with Jiang Suying, carrying a medicine box. Mr. Qian glanced at her but quickly looked away. Although he was a businessman, he knew not to look at someone inappropriately and it was not right to stare at someone else's wife in front of her husband.

"Apei's wife..." Master Qian said with a smile. His kind look didn't seem like he had ever given a concubine to her husband in front of his wife.

Jiang Suying took out the pulse pillow and said, "Uncle Qian, just call me Yingniang. I'll take your pulse now?"

Hurry up, it's really busy, I'm in a hurry to get to the show.

"Okay!" Master Qian stretched out his hand. He was a straightforward person. Facing an "enemy" who almost "took away his father", he could remain calm for the sake of his goal. He was a patient woman. No wonder an imperial physician accepted her as an apprentice. But when he saw Jiang Suying's expression - although he had seen this expression on many doctors' faces many times -

But his heart would always be lifted up: "What...what?"

Is he going to die soon?

Why are you frowning so hard?

When he was seeing a patient, he was afraid that the doctor would frown. Once the doctor frowned, he would bleed a lot. The most infuriating thing was that he knew the doctor's fee was too high, but he didn't dare to object, for fear of offending the doctor. They were businessmen with low status, and he didn't know medicine. When he was sick, he could only go to the doctor! What could he do if he offended someone to death? He only had a few coins!

The most painful thing in life is that people die and the money is not spent, especially for someone like him who has so much money!

As soon as Jiang Suying's hand touched Mr. Qian's wrist, her brows frowned a little. After a thorough inspection, her expression became more and more serious. Not only Mr. Qian was afraid, but Jiang Yipei was also afraid. He was afraid that his wife had overacted.

But Jiang Suying really wasn't performing. You wouldn't know until you see it. It was shocking. My God, Mr. Qian is worthy of his surname. He suffers from all the diseases of affluence.

The explanation of affluenza diseases in Western medicine is:

As people become more affluent, they eat better and more refined foods, which leads to overnutrition and reduced activity, thus causing non-infectious epidemics.

Such as obesity, constipation, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, etc.

Congratulations, Mr. Qian, he has all the above diseases.

The first is obesity. Looking at Mr. Qian's huge body and his bulging belly like that of a pregnant woman, you can see how much excess nutrition he has.

Constipation is not a big deal and is easy to treat, but high blood pressure and high blood lipids are very troublesome, and his blood pressure is frighteningly high. If it is not controlled, he will be on the verge of bursting blood vessels.

"Mother Ying!" Master Qian didn't care about being rude and stared at Jiang Suying closely: "What disease did uncle have? You tell me, uncle can handle it. Uncle has money, and he will treat it no matter how much it costs!"

Jiang Suying sighed when she heard this, and almost broke Master Qian's defense: "No...no cure?"

Jiang Suying was always strict: "That can't be said. It's just that with my medical skills, I can't cure it, I can only alleviate it."

"Ah? Then where is your master?"

"also can not!"

Mr. Qian's body was weak. He had slowly accepted the fact that he was not able to survive, but he could not accept death! He was only fifty, not even sixty, and he was determined to live to be seventy!

"How...how can I relieve it? How long do I have left to live, uncle?" Mr. Qian pretended to be calm.

He didn't expect to die so early, so he hasn't even made his coffin yet. He has to use the rest of his time to plan his own funeral and the future of his descendants.

"If it's well controlled, it should last at least ten years!"

"Mr. Duo?!" Mr. Qian suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Ten years!" Doctor Jiang was a serious man. "But things are unpredictable. If you get an acute illness or have an accident, it won't be within the ten years I mentioned."

Mr. Qian: “…”

His heart fell heavily to the ground. With that dead look on your face and the words you said, he thought he only had ten days to live.

ten years!

Compared to the ten days he had expected, that was much, much longer!

That's enough! Mr. Qian thought to himself, he is not greedy, God, please let him live to be sixty, and then he can have a grand birthday party on his sixtieth birthday, collect more gifts before he dies, and he can have another one after he dies! Leave it to his descendants!

In the words of scholars, it was a worthy death.

Jiang Suying reminded him again: "Also, you have to listen to me on how to treat it."

"Okay!" Mr. Qian nodded. He always listened to the doctor. But: "What disease did Uncle Shi have? Did you tell me?"

"Let me ask you a few questions first." Jiang Suying put the pulse pillow back and took out the paper and charcoal pencil. "You get tired easily, feel dizzy, have palpitations and tinnitus, and sometimes you can't stand steadily. Is that right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mr. Qian nodded hurriedly. He had all the symptoms that Jiang Suying described. "The doctor at Jishidiang said he wanted to treat my liver wind, and also said something like promoting blood circulation and resolving phlegm! It was helpful at first, but then it gradually had no effect."

Jiang Suying nodded. The diagnosis of the doctor from Jishidiang could not be said to be wrong. Regulating liver wind and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis were symptoms of hypertension, and Mr. Qian did have hypertension. However, Chinese medicine did not have the concept of "hypertension". It only diagnosed and treated the disease based on the main symptoms of hypertension, such as dizziness, headache, etc.

Hypertension refers to the phenomenon that the pressure exerted by blood on the blood vessel walls when flowing through the blood vessels is persistently higher than normal.

If the blood vessel walls are subjected to higher-than-normal pressure for a long time, it will lead to diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke. Stroke requires green channel in the hospital, which shows how high its mortality rate is. If it is not treated properly, you may fall down one day and never get up again.

Traditional Chinese medicine is effective in treating high blood pressure, but it has to be admitted that it is not as safe and effective as Western medicine. This is because blood pressure needs to be stable, and traditional Chinese medicine cannot control it very well. Fluctuating blood pressure can also cause great harm to the human body. This may be the reason why the doctors at Jishidiang could not alleviate Mr. Qian's condition very well.

"Your life is quite complicated. You have a lot of diseases. The most obvious one is obesity. You need to lose weight. Also, a large part of the symptoms I just mentioned are caused by obesity. If you lose weight, the other diseases can also be alleviated, and you may be able to live longer!"

"Really?! I'll lose weight!" Mr. Qian attaches great importance to anything that can "extend life". Not to mention losing weight, he's willing to lose anything!

In ancient times, being "fat" was a sign of wealth. Many common people wanted to gain weight but didn't have the means to do so. I have never heard of anyone complaining about being fat. But for the sake of their lives, they lost weight!

Jiang Suying could not deny what Mr. Qian said. After all, it was quite difficult for people who lived a life of luxury to lose weight. If you can't control your mouth and can't move your legs, how can you lose weight!

Don’t be fooled by Mr. Qian’s swearing now. He will most likely start eating in retaliation if he can’t hold on for a few days. Then his weight will rebound, causing him to be irritable, and the end result will be high blood pressure again!

"First of all, in terms of diet, you should stop eating things with strong flavors and high salt content. Eat some celery and winter melon in moderation. Do you have winter melon in your house?" Jiang Suying asked.

Mr. Qian nodded immediately: "Yes."

Jiang Suying and Jiang Yipei looked at each other and quickly separated.

"That's good. You'd better eat more vegetables and fruits for your illness."

"Okay, it's up to you."

The two people’s inner thoughts at this moment: Ahhhhh, there are actually winter melons, as well as vegetables and fruits. It has rained for several months, how did the Qian family still have such rare things as vegetables and fruits!

Who said that the ancient times were backward? The people in modern times could not think of a way to preserve vegetables, fruits and melons for such a long time, but they did it!

"In addition to diet, you still need to take medicine, such as chrysanthemum, Achyranthes bidentata, Eucommia ulmoides, Gastrodia elata..."

Jiang Suying named more than twenty kinds of medicinal herbs in a row. Mr. Qian didn't know whether he had them at home, so he called a servant who gave prescriptions, and the servant said he did!

Have! !

After two silent attempts, Jiang Yipei had a new understanding of the Qian family's supplies. He silently added a lot of things to the shopping list in his mind - the Qian family must have a lot of good things, and he tried to purchase some of them at the lowest price!

"In addition to taking medicine, you also need to exercise. There is a health-preserving exercise called Ba Duan Jin, which is very suitable for people like you who have a large base to lose weight. The exercise is not intense. On the one hand, it can exercise the body to promote blood circulation, consume fat and sugar, and improve blood vessel function to achieve the effect of lowering blood pressure. On the other hand, combined with the corresponding breathing method, it can regulate emotions, soothe nerves, and avoid high blood pressure caused by mental tension."

Mr. Qian: “…”

But he was used to it. After all, he often couldn't understand what the doctor said. But he understood one thing, that is, Jiang Suying had a set of health-preserving exercises that could prolong his life, but she had no intention of taking them out now, and might very well ask him to give her something in exchange!

Finally, Jiang Suying stood up and said, "Uncle Qian, find a warmer room. I will give you some acupuncture. You will definitely sleep well tonight."

Acupuncture at Taichong, Fengchi, Quchi and other acupoints can stimulate the meridian points, promote the circulation of qi and blood, regulate kidney function, reduce the excitability of sympathetic nerves, and relax vascular smooth muscles, thereby achieving a certain antihypertensive effect.

Jiang Suying: "Lie down and take off your shirt."

Upon hearing this, Master Qian immediately tightened his clothes and kept looking at Jiang Yipei - Can this be done in front of you? When you are dead? You don't care? !

"Curing the disease is the most important thing." Jiang Yipei's face turned pale, as if he was very reluctant to let Jiang Suying give him acupuncture, but for the sake of Qian Shibo's health, he was willing to sacrifice his wife's reputation.

Mr. Qian was almost moved.

Then, under Jiang Suying's acupuncture, his heart gradually became as calm as still water, and his peaceful heart was not disturbed at all.

Using this as a breakthrough, Mr. Qian finally agreed to sell Jiang Yipei a batch of grain and cloth as well as a small amount of cotton and fur at usual prices.

Jiang Yipei: “!!!”

He thought that the small amount was really a small amount, just a few hundred pieces, but when he saw the things that filled up half of the warehouse, his eyes widened immediately——

How rich must one be to feel that all these things are just a little bit.

County Magistrate Zhang handed over the silver note of fifty thousand taels, his heart trembling a little. Mr. Qian waved his hand, indicating that he would not take the money and should give it to the accountant!

After coming out of Qian's house, Jiang Yipei felt refreshed. He asked Mr. Qian to be a good person and send the things to the west, and asked the servants to deliver the things to the county government office. Mr. Qian wanted to refuse, but after looking at Jiang Suying, he agreed.

——This order is a big loss.

If I raise the price, I can make at least twice the money. Now I have to deliver the goods, so I lose money again.

For the sake of living two more years.

Mr. Qian thought.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yipei took everyone he could to visit the two families and the Qi family. The two families were neighbors, and coincidentally, the servants of both families had betrayed their masters. Even more coincidentally, the servants of the two families were actually in-laws.

They brought all their family members and relatives over and controlled the house inside and out. What's worse, they reversed their identities. The former masters became slaves, serving them and their families.

In order to prevent the former master from escaping or asking for help, they killed all the loyal servants and maids of the Liang and Qi families. The former master was powerless and isolated, and had no choice but to obey them in order to stay alive.

The serfs sang the song of their emancipation quite beautifully.

Moreover, the confidentiality work was done very well. If County Magistrate Zhang had not sent people to investigate the situation of the eight families in the county, they would not have found any clues at all.

He is really too busy. He can only control the general direction. The details in the county are really not managed well. The officials will not investigate unless the people report it. They can't just rush into people's homes to check.

There's no time for that.

Besides, these big houses are all fine and nothing has happened. We all know that they have many servants and can handle it, so who would waste manpower and resources to find out what’s going on?

The people they rescue and provide disaster relief to are generally ordinary people, and these rich people are naturally ignored.

But in this case, Jiang Yipei had no psychological burden at all when he brought people to the door - they were acting righteously, saving the Liang family and the Qi family from trouble. It was normal to sell some things to the two families who were saved!

Jiang Yipei was smiling and in a good mood!

"Do...what?!"

The two men guarding the gate were dressed in silk and satin, but their clothes did not fit them well and were loose, as if they were stolen.

They were so stunned when they saw the two doors being removed in front of them that they forgot to maintain their dignity as the masters of the family and even stuttered when they spoke.

Jiang Yipei was not the kind of person who would destroy public property. He entered the house without damaging the gate and directly had the two men captured.

The two struggled desperately and shouted, "Let me go! Let me go! This is my home. You broke into my house. I will call the police to arrest you!"

"What a coincidence, we are the officials."

Jiang Yipei walked inside with his hands behind his back, and then saw a very strange scene: people working outside, such as sweeping snow, were wearing clothes made of expensive fabrics, but they were doing the work of servants.
