later
Three years later.
A carriage departing from Yunshui County and destined for the capital city stopped outside the gate of Zhou Mansion.
At this time, Zhou's father was still handling official business in the palace and had not returned. Only Zhou's mother hurried over after receiving the news.
"Mother," Zhou Hanzhang got off the car first. He called out when he saw his mother.
Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother only responded with a single sound, then stared intently at the carriage.
Shi Yanqing came out of the carriage holding a soft and sticky dough. When she looked up, she met Zhou's mother's burning gaze. She and her mother-in-law had only met twice and were not familiar with each other, but they had also communicated in the past two years, so they were quite familiar with each other.
"Mother." She smiled slightly, then stepped on a low stool and got off the carriage.
When Zhou's mother saw the pink ball, she didn't even take her eyes off her. "That must be Zhao Le, so cute."
Two years ago, Shi Yanqing became pregnant with twins. She gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son is a brother named Zhou Guanfu, and the daughter is a sister named Zhou Zhaole.
Zhou Zhaole was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed at this time.
Her brother Zhou Guanfu had also fallen asleep and was still in the carriage and had not been taken out.
Seeing his mother and wife chatting, Zhou Hanzhang went back to the carriage and took his son out.
"Mom, it's windy outside, let's go inside and talk."
It is early spring now and the temperature in the capital is still a little low. Zhou Hanzhang reached out and pulled the cloak wrapped around his son, and adjusted the way he held him, trying to make him sleep more comfortably.
"Yes, yes, it's cold outside too. Let's go inside quickly." Zhou's mother responded quickly.
Half a month ago, when Zhou's mother learned that her son and daughter-in-law were coming back, she had the servants clean up the yard so that they could move in as soon as they came back.
The flowers, plants and trees in the yard are all newly planted, and the gaps in the stone bricks under the corridor have been filled.
As soon as they entered the house, they felt a warmth.
Shi Yanqing and Zhou Hanzhang put the brother and sister on the bed, and took off their shoes, socks and outer clothes so that they could sleep more comfortably.
They left the room and asked Dan Ye to stay inside so that the two children would not cry when they woke up and didn't see their parents.
......
After returning to the capital, Zhou Hanzhang remained in the Hanlin Academy as a fourth-rank Hanlin Academy attendant scholar. His position was neither low nor high, and his work was neither busy nor idle.
Shi Yanqing no longer went to the original clinic to see patients, but opened his own clinic, still called Qingrentang.
She would spend three hours in the clinic every day treating patients, and the rest of the time she would teach He Sumu medical skills one-on-one.
That’s right, she accepted He Sumu as her apprentice.
As for Bai Yuancheng, he could be considered a half-disciple. However, his roots were in Yunshui County, so he couldn't follow Shi Yanqing to the capital. When Shi Yanqing left, he entrusted him to his teacher and many other things.
She also handed over the clinic and pharmacy in Yunshui County to Yan Rong.
After all, the capital is quite far away from Yunshui County. Even if she wants to take care of it, she can't take care of so many things. It is better to hand it over to someone who can manage it.
A few years after returning to the capital, Tan Ye got married.
She married a scholar. Although the scholar had a dull personality, he listened to Dan Ye very much. The two of them got along well and had a plain and simple relationship.
When Shi Yanqing was thirty years old, she suddenly had an idea.
That night, she told Zhou Hanzhang about this.
She wanted to open an academy that would only teach medicine and not the Four Books and Five Classics.
This wasn't a difficult matter, as no one would try to stop her. However, there was one difficulty: the number of students who registered was small.
After the college opened, there were only ten students who signed up at first. Their ages were not uniform. The oldest was in his forties and the youngest was only in his teens.
Later, the teenager left because he was going to get married and his family arranged a good job for him.
If he stayed in college to study medicine, he would waste a lot of time and lose a lot of money.
Seeing the students in the college leaving one by one for various reasons, Shi Yanqing felt depressed.
She must find a way to stabilize the college's student population.
After Zhou Hanzhang learned about this, he made a suggestion. He said it would be better to call the teacher and uncle to come and take charge.
After all, they are famous, and as long as they come, there will be no shortage of people signing up.
This was a good idea, but both of them were old and too lazy to move, so they finally only let their apprentices come over.
Although the apprentice is not very famous, there are now two more teachers in the academy, not just Shi Yanqing.
After a few more years, the college's reputation gradually expanded.
Many families who have been studying medicine for generations have sent their children here to learn basic medical skills. If they are lucky, they can even receive individual lessons from Pang Guan and Xi Guan.
It was also around this time that Shi Yanqing's grandmother passed away. She passed away in her sleep, without much pain.
Shi Yanqing was extremely upset as another of her relatives had passed away.
Zhou Hanzhang felt the same way, because a few years after he returned to the capital, his grandfather also passed away. At that time, his grandfather was still with Zhou Hangui in Shaoshan. After receiving the news, he took leave at night and went to Shaoshan to bring his grandfather back.
Perhaps the time had come. One time when Shi Yanqing was combing her hair, she found a white hair. She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about. In the end, she just sighed deeply and pulled out the white hair from her hair.
However, no matter how many white hairs you pull out, there is still one left, and you can never pull out all the white hairs.
Zhou's father retired from the court and Zhou Hanzhang's official position was promoted.
Zhou Guanfu and Zhou Zhaole were also eighteen years old, and it was time for them to get married.
Shi Yanqing and Zhou Hanzhang are also forty years old. They are no longer young, but their feelings are still as good as before, without a trace of cracks.
Zhou Guanfu married Lu Xueer, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Both of them were satisfied with each other, and their marriage and life were sweet and happy without any grudges.
Three months after they got married, Shi Yanqing and Zhou Hanzhang had a grandson or granddaughter.
Not long after her granddaughter was born, Zhou Zhaole married Xiao Jiu's eldest son, Xiao Jueming. Xiao Jueming was five years older than Zhou Zhaole. He grew up with his father in the northern border since he was a child. He had seen the lives of the lower-class people and was determined to do something to change the lives of the people of the Xiao Dynasty.
After marrying Zhou Zhaole, the two left the capital together, saying they were going to search for high-yield seeds per mu. Zhou Guanfu did not enter the court as an official. He had been interested in medicine since childhood and studied with Shi Yanqing, Xiguan, and Wen Rushi, which gave him a head start.
When they were fifty years old, Zhou Hanzhang fainted on the way to court due to excessive mental exertion.
Shi Yanqing no longer cared about the affairs of the academy at this time. She handed the academy over to Zhou Guanfu for management. She only went to Qingrentang to see patients for a period of time every day, and then went back to study medical books. By the way, she recorded the difficult and complicated diseases she had seen before and compiled them into a book.
When she received the news that Zhou Hanzhang had fainted, she was so anxious that she picked up the medicine bag and went to find him.
In the end, he was stopped by his granddaughter, who said that news had come from the palace that His Majesty had sent someone to send his grandfather back.
After this incident, Zhou Hanzhang no longer worked as hard as before. He slowly began to train his subordinates and prepared to resign.
When they were 55 years old, Zhou Hanzhang resigned from his official position.
The current Majesty is the daughter of the Empress. She treats court officials with gentleness and courtesy, but her methods are swift and decisive. After a private conversation with Zhou Hanzhang, she finally agreed to his resignation.
Without his official position, Zhou Hanzhang became idle.
At the beginning, he followed Shi Yanqing to Qingrentang to see patients every day. He didn't know any medical skills, so he found a corner in the clinic to sit down, reading a travelogue in his hand.
Later, he stopped going to Qingrentang and instead made an appointment with Lu Jue and Lu Tong to go fishing and play chess.
The three of them have known each other for a long time. Every time they chat, they talk about the past and how young they were back then.
But it’s boring to go fishing and play chess every day.
Zhou Hanzhang gradually went out less and less, and instead stayed at home to teach his grandchildren to read.
Shi Yanqing saw this and had his own ideas.
She handed the clinic over to her granddaughter and asked her to help take care of it.
Then he took Zhou Hanzhang out to travel and enjoy the scenery.
As they were old, they could not travel far, so they just traveled around several counties near the capital.
Zhou Guanfu was worried about his parents going out for a trip, so he asked his youngest son to accompany them and take good care of them along the way.
They went to a coastal county town, saw the sea, and touched shells.
There, they met their daughter Zhou Zhaole and her family.
After leaving the capital, Zhou Zhaole and Xiao Jueming went to many places. They collected a lot of seeds and cultivated crops with high yield per mu.
Zhou Zhaole gave birth to two daughters and then stopped having children. This was quite good for Xiao Jueming, as his surname was Xiao, and his father and grandfather both held military power, which made His Majesty very wary of him.
The two daughters are fine, at least in His Majesty's opinion they are not dangerous.
However, his daughters could also learn martial arts and go into battle to kill the enemy. When they were three years old, Xiao Jueming persuaded his two daughters to learn martial arts.
After playing outside for two years, Shi Yanqing and Zhou Hanzhang settled down in Qingshan.
There is a Qingshan Academy here, and Zhou’s grandfather used to be the dean of the academy.
When Zhou Hanzhang was young, he studied with his grandfather in Qingshan. He left Qingshan for the capital when he was in his twenties.
This was his best memory, so he returned to Qingshan and became the dean of Qingshan Academy.
Shi Yanqing followed her to Qingshan. She didn't plan to open a clinic anymore, she decided to write a book.
She wants to compile her medical skills into a book and pass it down so that more people can learn it.
She had previously written a book on difficult and complicated diseases, so writing a medical book was still a bit difficult. However, it was only a minor difficulty.
Not long after, Zhou's father and mother passed away.
Both of them were happy funerals, with each one a few days apart.
After receiving the news, Zhou Hanzhang fainted due to excessive sadness.
However, he had a good health and recovered after recuperating for a period of time.
But after Zhou's father and mother left, he was obviously depressed for a while and became much thinner.
Fortunately, Shi Yanqing has always been with him and paid attention to his diet.
When they were seventy years old, Zhou Guanfu and his wife also came to Qingshan to live. Zhou Zhaole and Xiao Jueming went to the northern border. It is said that they found another kind of food that can be grown in the barren land of the northern border.
Their two daughters also went with their husbands, otherwise they would not be at ease.
Zhou Hanzhang resigned from his position as the dean of the academy and accompanied Shi Yanqing every day.
He always felt that his life passed too quickly and he spent too little time with his wife.
Shi Yanqing often studies ancient books, which takes a lot of energy. Her eyes are not as clear and bright as before, but she still looks at people gently.
She finished writing her medical book two years ago, and now she has nothing to do, so she sits in the yard all day basking in the sun.
Well, there was an old man next to her basking in the sun with her.
Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and the moon is big and round.
Zhou Zhaole also came to Qingshan with his family.
When Shi Yanqing and Zhou Hanzhang saw their daughter whom they had not seen for a long time, they couldn't help but shed tears.
Under the pear tree, white petals flutter in the wind.
Shi Yanqing and Zhou Hanzhang lay side by side on the lounge chairs, basking in the warm sun.
The sun was exceptionally warm that day, a rare warmth in spring.
......
A thousand years later, archaeologists discovered the joint tomb of Shi Yanqing, a famous doctor of the Xiao Dynasty, and Zhou Hanzhang, the prime minister.
After several months of exploration and excavation, they dug out many well-preserved written records from the tomb. These things were preserved with special potions and had not decayed or rotted after thousands of years.
Because of this, a group of history fans also learned many stories about this couple.
