"The body is transparent, what does that an... it should be, right?" The young girl didn’t understand. She looked at Shi Qingjun’s flat belly and shyly whispered, "In any case, it’s warm and good for us girls, it treats uterine cold... or might help with having children in the future."
The young girl paused for a mont and said, "After Ah Qing’s celebration party, she’ll also go to warm her body... Sister Shi, you really like Ah Qing’s dance, don’t you."
Shi Qingjun looked at the child with surprise.
Does this an she thinks she knows Ah Qing and wants to use Ah Qing to control her?
"Hmm, then let’s go." Shi Qingjun didn’t mind.
——
Yun Qian: "..."
Shi Qingjun, don’t know if she was controlled, but Miss Yun... was indeed controlled.
Good for having children?
She wanted to go too.
Yun Qian was not unfamiliar with acupuncture and moxibustion.
Her health was poor, so Xu Chang’an had studied dical books to self-learn these practices. Whenever she caught the sea breeze or he thought the cold had entered her body, he would use them on her.
Because it was Xu Chang’an applying them to her, Yun Qian really liked it.
But...
She had never heard that acupuncture and moxibustion were beneficial for having children.
But since it was said by Xu Chang’an’s ’connections’, there must be so truth in it... so, without a doubt, Yun Qian now wanted to experience the acupuncture or moxibustion that the ladies had, to prepare for having children.
Slowly swallowing the snacks brought by Ah Qing, Yun Qian looked up at Zhu Pingniang.
The latter sensed it and raised her head: "Ms. Yun, why are you looking at like that?"
"I want to try moxibustion," Yun Qian said honestly.
"...?"
Zhu Pingniang was taken aback, and Wen Li also looked over curiously.
Moxibustion?
Is she talking about mugwort?
Wen Li was a bit curious, but she had never tried these because she was naturally endowed with unblocked ridians, so things like acupuncture points had no effect on her, thus acupuncture and moxibustion were not sothing Wen Li would pay attention to.
But it was rare to see Yun Qian express a ’desire’ to do sothing... Wen Li, who had never experienced moxibustion, was imdiately intrigued.
Even Zhu Pingniang was surprised by Yun Qian’s first request.
Only Miss Lu was the first to react; she blinked and exclaid, "Miss Yun wants to try silver needle acupuncture and moxibustion... you know, that’s actually the custom here. At the Flower Moon Building, if you’re looking for top-quality mugwort, we have plenty."
There are too many won at the Flower Moon Building with cold constitutions, especially uterine cold... eight out of ten have it, so moxibustion on acupuncture points, warming the body, and dispelling cold are their favorite activities.
As Miss Lu spoke, Zhu Pingniang also ca back to her senses and nodded along.
Speaking of which, staying up all night and then indulging in a moxibustion session, eventually drifting into deep sleep for a good dream... that’s sothing the girls at the Flower Moon Building often do.
Unexpectedly, Yun Qian had the sa habit.
Seeing everyone acting strangely, Yun Qian tilted her head and asked, "Isn’t there such a thing here?"
There should be, right? She had heard many won say they were going to do it, and Miss Lu did say they were not short of high-quality mugwort.
"Of course, there is." How could Zhu Pingniang refuse Yun Qian? She smiled warmly, "I just didn’t expect Ms. Yun to have so much energy... You have a weak constitution; after watching the performances all night, I thought you would want to go rest imdiately, but you actually want to have a moxibustion session."
"I am a bit tired," Yun Qian nodded, then said, "But, doing this helps in conceiving a child."
Yun Qian’s voice was as calm as a breeze.
However, none of the won present could catch this breeze.
ntioning children to Zhu Pingniang, Wen Li, and Miss Lu... it was too early.
The only one with so experience in having children could be Wen Li, but that’s not childbirth; she split out a Li Hua, which is completely different.
"...Ahem, Miss Yun has a point; warming the body and treating uterine cold, along with stimulating blood flow with silver needles after staying up all night, is always a good thing." Miss Lu was still the first to recover, displaying her potential as an attendant: "Besides, if you’re tired, you can take a nap during the moxibustion session."
"Indeed." Zhu Pingniang nodded.
Yun Qian had a cold constitution, and if you were to apply earthly practices, moxibustion would indeed help her in conceiving a child...
But the issue is, should they use worldly thods now, even the best mugwort can’t compare to an elixir, can it?
But Zhu Pingniang thought it wasn’t really an issue.
Just consider it as an old habit of Yun Qian’s.
"Since Ms. Yun enjoys it, we’ll have a silver needle moxibustion session once Chang’an returns and the party ends," Zhu Pingniang smiled.
"Okay." Having achieved her goal, Yun Qian stopped speaking.
But the topic had already been raised.
"Ms. Zhu, I’ve always wanted to ask, as a cultivator... with such a good body, why do you constantly go for those silver needles like the girls do? They surely don’t have any effect on you," Miss Lu asked.
Upon hearing this, Wen Li also looked over curiously.
Because silver needle moxibustion intrigued Yun Qian enough to resist her drowsiness to try it, Wen Li was naturally very curious too, but she, like Miss Lu, shared the sa curiosity.
For won like them, does doing these things still have any aning?
