Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 79: Excessive Liver Heat

Fu Chen’an already sat beside his wife when he heard this. Looking at her pale face, he said, "Wife, I’m sorry for startling you. I’ll keep it in mind. Next time, I’ll warn you first."

Yao Zhi patted her chest and nodded.

After making sure his wife was seated properly, Fu Chen’an flicked the whip, and the donkey began to walk slowly, pulling the cart forward.

When they left the village, most people knew that the Fu family had bought a new donkey cart.

While most of them were jealous, they also knew that the money used to buy the donkey cart came from Fu Chen’an, risking his life to save the General. Therefore, receiving a monetary reward was not strange.

Forty minutes later, they reached Zhu’an Town and waited for their turn to enter.

Since Fu Chen’an was a military officer, he did not need a letter of introduction. When it was his turn, he took out his token and showed it to the guards.

Upon seeing the military token, the guards cupped their hands and let them in. After entering the town, Fu Chen’an drove the cart toward the horse market.

"Husband, why are we coming here?" Yao Zhi asked.

"Wife, we can’t drive our donkey cart into the market, so it’s better to entrust it here. There are people who will keep an eye on it, and we only need to pay two wen," Fu Chen’an replied.

Hearing this, Yao Zhi nodded. It was similar to a parking lot in the modern era. After they entrusted the donkey cart to a young man, Fu Chen’an carried an empty bamboo basket while Yao Zhi held onto his sleeve.

After they entrusted the cart, the two of them walked to the nearby clinic. Unlike clinics in modern times, the clinics in this era were simple.

Besides the physician, there was 1 disciple who helped the physician fetch the medicine, and 1 clerk to handle the registration and payment.

When Yao Zhi entered the small clinic with her husband, there were only a few people buying medicine.

Seeing them coming, a young boy walked over and said, "Welcome, Guests. Do you want to buy medicine or consult the physician?"

"Brother, we want to consult the physician," Yao Zhi replied.

The young boy was the physician’s disciple. Although he was young, he had followed his master to travel everywhere before they settled in this place. So, he was polite and observant.

He took a glance at their clothes and knew that the materials were better than even his master’s. So, he didn’t dare to neglect them. "Guests, this way please," he gestured to them and led them to the back room.

Inside, an old man was writing something in a book with a deep frown.

"Master, this Madam and Sir are coming for a consultation."

Hearing his disciple’s words, the old physician raised his head and said, "Please have a seat."

After Yao Zhi and Fu Chen’an took their seats across from him, the old physician looked at them and asked, "May I ask, which of you—"

Before he finished his words, Yao Zhi said, "Physician, my husband is injured. Can you please have a look and see if his health is okay?"

The physician nodded and said, "Sir, let me take your pulse."

Fu Chen’an placed his wrist on top of a small pulse pillow. The physician placed 3 fingers on his wrist and closed his eyes. After a moment, he frowned and then nodded.

"Physician, how is my husband’s condition?" Yao Zhi asked with a hint of worry.

The old physician let go of Fu Chen’an’s wrist and asked, "Sir, can I take a look at your wound?"

Fu Chen’an nodded. With the curtain blocking the entrance, he wasn’t worried that people would peek at him. He untied his sash and undressed his clothes. He showed his back to the physician and said nothing.

The physician checked his wound for a moment before he said, "The wound is recovering very well."

Turning to Yao Zhi, he continued, "Madam, you don’t have to worry. Except for excessive liver fire, your husband is in good health. Have enough rest and take some cooling herbs to reduce the heat."

The physician glanced at Fu Chen’an and added, "Your husband is young and vigorous. Having regular yin-yang harmony can also help with your husband’s excessive liver fire."

The moment he finished his words, both Yao Zhi and Fu Chen’an were stunned for a moment before they realized what he was implying. The two of them blushed and didn’t dare to look at each other.

At this moment, Fu Chen’an lowered his head and focused on tidying up his clothes while Yao Zhi coughed to hide her embarrassment.

Seeing this, the old physician let out a chuckle and said, "It’s normal for newlyweds to feel shy. But too little or too much is not good. A balanced marital relationship is good for health."

Feeling embarrassed by his words, Yao Zhi didn’t dare to stay any longer. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Physician."

"You are welcome," the Physician replied calmly.

Since he didn’t need to take any medicine, the physician didn’t prescribe any. After Yao Zhi paid 10 wen for the consultation fee, they left the clinic.

The two of them walked toward the market area. This time, they went directly to a store selling salt and seasonings. Before entering, Yao Zhi noticed a long line waiting outside.

Seeing this, Fu Chen’an led her to a shaded area and said, "Wife, it might take a while before it’s our turn. Let’s wait here."

Yao Zhi raised her head and saw the bright sun hanging in the sky. Noticing the sweat on her husband’s forehead, she took out her handkerchief and wiped it away.

Because of their height difference, she had to tiptoe before she could reach his forehead. Noticing her intention, Fu Chen’an smiled and bent his waist, allowing her to help him wipe his sweat without tiptoeing.
