Chapter 2046 Happy Event
"When the evil wind enters the body and the cold air attacks, if it happens to be when your health is at its worst, it will be very difficult to save you. Judging from Mr. Zhou's pulse, your illness was very serious from the beginning. To be honest, I'm surprised that Doctor Zhou was able to get you to Jishiditang for treatment in just five days."
Doctor Ding said, "If I treat you myself, your illness will definitely relapse. If you follow the doctor's advice carefully, you may be cured within three months."
Zhou Silang understood the subtext and realized that it might not be curable.
He was stunned and asked, "Is it so serious?"
Doctor Ding smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou Si's body has been adjusted now, but you can still see that he is empty inside. I'm afraid he has been exhausted and tired over the past year. If his body is empty, it will be difficult to eradicate the disease. Won't he be bedridden?"
Zhou Silang pondered for a moment, "My little sister's medical skills are so amazing now?"
Doctor Ding: "...Doctor Zhou is now the imperial physician, so he's naturally very capable."
Having said that, Doctor Ding himself was also surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Man to be so powerful now.
After Zhou Silang left, he memorized his pulse diagnosis and the prescription, acupuncture method and plaster that Zhou Man gave him, and then stared at it in a daze.
Doctor Tao had also finished seeing his patients and came over to talk to him. Seeing him looking seriously at the papers on the table, he asked, "What's going on? Have you encountered any difficult or complicated cases?"
Doctor Ding handed him the pulse diagnosis and prescription.
There was no name written on the pulse record, so Doctor Ding didn't know who it was. But after he finished reading the pulse record and then looked at the prescription, he couldn't help but praise, "Excellent! Who wrote this prescription?"
Doctor Ding said, "Zhou Man."
Doctor Tao looked at the acupuncture and plasters and said with a smile, "No wonder. There aren't many doctors who can treat illnesses with acupuncture, plasters, and decoctions at the same time these days."
Doctor Ding nodded, stroking his beard. "But the results are quite good. The patient's fever subsided in just five days, and he's almost fully recovered. A pulse like this suggests a malignant wind-cold. I suspect the cold wind caused the unbalanced sweat to be absorbed into the body, allowing the evil wind to enter and cause the disease."
Doctor Tao specializes in pediatric diseases and knows that this type of illness is the most difficult to treat. He sighed and said, "This type of cold is not easy to treat. If you don't treat it well, your reputation will be ruined."
Doctor Ding nodded. "When Doctor Zhou is off next time, shall we go have a meal with her?"
All the patients Zhou Manyi admitted during her clinic have been cured and left, and now she rarely comes here.
Doctor Tao rolled his eyes and said, "Call the chief shopkeeper."
Doctor Ding couldn't help but smile, and he thought it was a good idea.
The head shopkeeper was in trouble. When he took another day off, he stared at his son who came to the pharmacy to gain experience.
Zheng Gu couldn't stand his gaze, so he put down the pestle in his hand, looked up and asked, "Dad, just say what you want to say."
Why are you staring at him? He's scared, okay?
Shopkeeper Zheng said quietly, "Your junior sister is getting married next month."
Zheng Gu naturally knew about it, and he had already discussed with Zheng Shao and Zhou Liru what gifts to give.
Shopkeeper Zheng continued quietly, "I heard from Li Ru that her second sister is also engaged, and even the wedding date has been set for the twelfth month of this year."
Zheng Gu also knew this. After all, Zhou Liru was his junior sister. Although he only studied in the Imperial Medical Bureau for half a day, there was still some communication between the senior and junior brothers.
He looked at his father, not quite understanding what he meant.
The shopkeeper Zheng was very disappointed and asked, "How old are you? Can you find a wife for your father?"
Zheng Gu: "...Dad, you told me a few years ago that I'm now in the Imperial Hospital and that I might become an imperial physician in two years, so you told me not to rush into marriage."
Manager Zheng: "...I said that, but if you don't want to, you can tell me."
Zheng Gu: "I do."
Manager Zheng was even more unhappy. He was in a dilemma. He felt that if he waited for another two years, his son would be able to find a better marriage.
But if we wait another two years, he will be older. If we get married now, he will be able to have grandchildren in two years.
Zheng Gu ignored his father's entanglement and continued to pound the medicine with his head down. Liu Sanniang and the other two who were hiding not far away and sorting out the herbs breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Liru whispered, "Big Brother is so pitiful. It seems like nothing he does is right."
Zheng Shao didn't say anything, but Liu Sanniang smiled and said, "This is called luck. We want this kind of luck but don't have it yet."
Among the four brothers and sisters, Zheng Gu is the only one whose parents care so much about his marriage and career.
Zhou Liru suddenly thought of something and said to Liu Sanniang happily, "Senior sister, you are marrying my eldest brother. Should I call you sister-in-law or senior sister from now on?"
Liu Sanniang blushed slightly and said, "Of course it's Senior Sister."
Liu Sanniang's wedding was scheduled for June 28th. Old Zhou had a large family, so Manbao didn't have to worry about anything. However, that day was not a holiday, so she asked for leave two days in advance.
Zhou Silang's illness has now been completely cured, and he is busy running around with a rosy face.
This was the second happy event since the Zhou family moved into the Zhou residence, and it was also the biggest one. After all, the eldest grandson was getting married, and most of the family was here.
When the auspicious time arrived, Zhou Lizhong took a group of brothers to the Liu family to welcome the bride. Bai Erlang and Bai Shan followed them. Manbao also wanted to go, but was stopped by Qian.
She said, "You are the elder and a colleague of Doctor Liu. It would be inappropriate for you to go. The Liu family won't be able to entertain you either, so just stay home and wait."
Manbao could only watch Bai Shan and Bai Erlang escort Zhou Lizhong out, and watched them ride away happily on their horses.
She felt infinite regret.
Doctor Liu was currently the acting director of the Imperial Medical Service, and Zhou Man was a favorite of the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince, and his medical skills were well-known in the Imperial Medical Service. Therefore, when the two families got married, the doctors were the ones who came to congratulate them the most.
The imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau, as well as doctors from various families outside, and even medicine merchants, first went to the Liu family to watch the Liu family marry off their daughter, then simply drank a glass of wedding wine, and then went to the Zhou family to welcome the bride back.
Then things became lively at the Zhou family's house.
The prince didn't know that his nephew Zhou Man had married, but the princess did.
Because she had asked for leave, another imperial physician was assigned to check the little prince's pulse today.
Because she knew this, the Crown Princess also sent someone to send a gift to the Zhou family. It was not very expensive, but it was glorious.
The Crown Princess gave everything, and her family, the Su family, naturally gave as well, not to mention the Yin family, the Liu family, the Feng family, the Yi family, and others, who all sent gifts. When the other families saw this, they simply picked out some gifts from the warehouse and sent them over, but they just didn't show up in person.
Zhou Lijun wrote down the list of gifts, and these gifts would have to be returned in the future.
Xiang Mingxue also busied himself with her. Seeing that although her memory was detailed, it was not very good-looking, he taught her how to make the accounts more clear at a glance.
After Zhou Silang welcomed the last wave of guests in, he turned around and went to the doorman, where he saw Xiang Mingxue half leaning over and talking to Zhou Lijun.
I have a chapter in reserve. My master is going to fly back home this afternoon, so the next chapter will be available at 11pm. She said it's too late, so don't rush to read my sister. Let's read it tomorrow.
