"Mmm. It's good that it's cool. Wear more clothes in the future, and eat less cold food in the summer."

Su Ziyang offered a reminder.

Su Ziyang wasn't actually very familiar with his cousin. If they were close, Su Ziyang wouldn't be so close as to not even have her WeChat.

"Then I'll lose all my happiness. I'll have to chill the water in the fridge before I drink it."

Sister Bing lives up to her name; she's icy and energetic.

"..."

Su Ziyang was at a loss for words.

"Okay, sis. Send me your and your husband's birthdays and times first."

As soon as Su Ziyang sent the message, Sister Bing called him immediately.

"Ziyang, when you come to see a doctor, you also need to have your birth chart analyzed."

Sister Bing seemed unusually excited about this thing.

"Okay! Let me take a look first, then send it to me, sis. And I still have to say something: if you want to have a baby, don't eat cold food."

Su Ziyang spoke again, neither warm nor cold, neither too close nor too distant.

"Oh! Is it that serious? Okay, I'll try to correct it. I'll send you my and your brother-in-law's birthdays. Tell me about them later. See if your brother-in-law gets a promotion and a raise at work this year!"

Sister Bing hung up the phone with unusual excitement.

Then Su Ziyang received two messages from Sister Bing.

Sister Bing and her husband.

Su Ziyang wasn't good at these kinds of fortune-telling things.

But we have a master in our family!

"Hello! Master Li?"

Su Ziyang said cheekily over the phone.

"Speak!"

Fairy Li's feigned indifference came through the phone.

I'll send you two birth dates and times on WeChat. Let's compare them and see which day is auspicious for having a son.

"Roll!"

Please!

Three hundred yuan!

"All done."

The brief conversation between the two ended.

A short while later, Su Ziyang received a picture sent by Fairy Li.

There were many circles on a calendar screenshot.

"It's a good time to conceive, everyone. I'm busy looking at beds right now, come over after get off work and come with me."

"All done."

Su Ziyang did not agree to Sister Bing's request, but instead asked Fairy Li to find an auspicious day for conception this year.

"Sister Bing, let me tell you first, these are auspicious days for conception here. You and my brother-in-law can choose any day from these days."

"Okay, sure."

Just moments ago, Sister Bing was extremely anxious, but after receiving these days' worth of gifts, she seemed listless and didn't show much emotion.

"Ziyang, have you checked on your brother-in-law? Is he likely to get a promotion and a raise this year?"

Sister Bing then pressed for an answer.

"Sure! Let your brother-in-law do a good job!"

Su Ziyang casually uttered auspicious words.

"Very good!"

Sister Bing is clearly more concerned about this than having a child.

Actually, if it weren't for his mother's orders, Su Ziyang wouldn't have been willing to treat this Sister Bing.

Your own relatives are the most difficult to deal with.

If things go wrong, you'll end up with a bad reputation.

You see, they'll probably think this is only fair. You should keep a close eye on things.

If you can't cure the illness, you'll likely be blamed.

This is human nature...

Most importantly, if Su Ziyang were to treat a stranger who was disobedient, Su Ziyang could freely criticize him or say a few harsh words.

But this is my cousin, how could I possibly say that?

Moreover, there are some things here that are difficult to say or hear.

Because these relatives seeking treatment no longer fully see themselves as patients.

She is first and foremost your cousin, and only secondly your patient.

If you forbid a patient from eating ice, she probably won't dare to eat it anymore, because you are the doctor, and in her mind you are an authority figure.

But if you stop your cousin from eating ice cream, she might nag you for a bit, but whether she'll actually listen is another matter.

Su Ziyang was having a headache when his cousin sent him a picture of his husband's tongue.

"I just called. I asked your brother-in-law to send me the photos. I told him to do a good job. Take a look at his tongue first."

Su Ziyang looked at Sister Bing's husband's tongue, which also had a cold look on it.

Needless to say, this couple is definitely best buddies; they'd be lucky if they didn't carry cold drinks and ice cubes with them...

How can someone have a child like this???

Su Ziyang mentally muttered a complaint.

"Sister, ask your brother-in-law if he often has lower back pain, leg aches, dizziness, and vivid dreams."

Su Ziyang sent over the symptoms he had observed.

"No need to ask, he's just like that. His health has been getting weaker and weaker over the past two years..."

Sister Bing speaks without any restraint.

"Well, sis, you both have problems. I need to treat both of you comprehensively."

"What does that mean? Does it mean we both have to take Chinese medicine?!"

"Yes!"

"..."

After a five-minute hiatus, Sister Bing sent a single word. "Okay!"

"Here's the thing, brother-in-law will take the herbal decoction, and you'll take the pills. I'll write down a prescription for your brother-in-law's decoction; you two can prepare it yourselves and decoct it. Sister, I'll make your prescription and mail it to you. Just give me an address!"

"Good!"

A short while later, Sister Bing sent me an address.

Su Ziyang took out a prescription slip and began writing the prescription on it.

15g of cinnamon twigs

15g of peony

15g of ginger

10g of licorice

4 jujubes

15g of raw dragon bone

15g raw oysters

14 pay.

"Sister, you'd better get the prescription filled today. If you're worried about the hassle, you can have it prepared at a pharmacy."

Su Ziyang sent a photo of the prescription he had given to Sister Bing's husband.

"Okay! Ziyang, what does this medicine treat?"

Sister Bing replied.

"Lower back pain, leg pain, vivid dreams, hair loss..."

"Okay, I'll go catch it right away."

I'll mail your medicine to you later.

"Also, when my brother-in-law takes this medicine, you two sleep in separate rooms. Also, the medicine should be taken half an hour after meals."

After a while, Sister Bing replied with an "OK" emoji.

After processing the prescription, Su Ziyang began to input Sister Bing's prescription into the computer.

30g of Evodia rutaecarpa

30g of Bletilla striata

30g of Bai Lian (a type of herb)

30g of Poria cocos

10g of Achyranthes bidentata

10g of Asarum

Calamus 5g

5g of white aconite root

5g of Angelica sinensis

Magnolia officinalis 40g

40g of cinnamon

40g of ginseng

Frankincense 20g

Myrrh 20g

Grind the medicine into powder, then mix with honey to form pills the size of a wutong seed.

Take ten pills once a day.

After Su Ziyang entered the prescription, he sent it directly to the pharmacy to make the pills.

The prescription can be made into honey pills, and the specifications can be selected.

Su Ziyang makes pills that are 3g each.

These medicinal materials can yield approximately one hundred pills.

After writing the prescription, Su Ziyang suddenly realized something important: he still had to pay the money.

Sister Bing is quite straightforward; she didn't even ask how much the medicine cost...

It's not that Su Ziyang is stingy, but when it comes to buying medicine and treating illnesses, he has to pay for it himself. Only in this way Join Yin and Yang and achieve the best results.

I picked up my phone and opened Sister Bing's WeChat.

After thinking for a while, Su Ziyang got up and went downstairs to pay the money.
