Chapter 330 Living a Daily Life
The 18th day of the 11th lunar month, today is Minor Snow.
As soon as Li San Niang got up in the morning, she felt a chill and thought to herself that the temperature was getting lower and lower.
When the door opened, the first thing I saw was white on the ground.
It's snowing.
The first snowfall heralded the start of winter, and it was also the first snowfall Li San Niang experienced upon arriving in the Tang Dynasty.
Once outside, I looked up at the sky. It was misty, and tiny snowflakes were falling on my face, cool and refreshing, which was rather poetic.
As soon as Li San Niang stepped through the courtyard gate, she saw Li Da Lang carrying hot water and walking towards her.
"Brother, why did your sister-in-law call you over? I can go by myself."
It's snowed, the ground is slippery, so please be careful.
Li San Niang held the door open for Li Da Lang, watching him steadily carry a full bucket of hot water into the courtyard.
"Auntie, it's nothing, just a bucket of water."
The academy gave us an early holiday anyway, so it's fine since I was supposed to get up and exercise this morning.
Should I put it by the door?
"Hey, just put it by the door. Go back quickly, don't get wet, the snowflakes are getting big."
Today, when Li San Niang went out to work, Li Da Sao specially brought her two oil-paper umbrellas.
"I bought it at that supermarket. It's a good item, a limited edition. I specially grabbed this pink color for you two."
If you're going out and walking around, be sure to bring an umbrella so you don't get your clothes wet and catch a cold.
Li San Niang stood to the side, holding an oil-paper umbrella that she opened. It was quite pretty, not only pink and delicate, but also decorated with flowers.
"Sister-in-law, there are flowers too, they're so pretty."
"But sister-in-law, ask Qiu Niang later if they sell sheepskin there. We can't buy fox or mink fur, but a sheepskin coat would be fine too."
"Oh, I'll ask Qiu Niang about it later."
Today, the patients who came to Li San Niang's clinic were all patients who had come before.
First, Xiu Niang brought her mother-in-law, Aunt Luo, to see her. She was the same Aunt Luo who had a pearl inside her.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Li San Niang was also worried that getting pregnant again at her age would be quite dangerous, so she asked anxiously.
"It's not a big deal, female doctor, it's just that every time I finish eating, this area feels uncomfortable and I get acid reflux."
At first, I thought it was because I ate something bad, but everyone in my family eats the same food, so why is it that everyone else is fine, but I'm the only one being dramatic?
As a result, this continued for several days, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
However, after a while, nothing happened, but my wife was worried and insisted that I come and take a look.
After asking a few more detailed questions, Li San Niang began to take the pulse. "This is a stomach problem (stomach ulcer), it's not a big problem. I'll tell you some foods you can't eat, remember them. Things like garlic, ginger, pepper, dogwood, and leeks, don't eat any of these spicy and pungent foods."
Also, eat less meat and offal.
Since you're pregnant, I'll prescribe some herbal tea for you to drink at home. You don't need to take the medicine for now. If you feel really uncomfortable, then come back to me.
"Come on, lie down inside, let me take a look at you."
After Aunt Luo lay down, Qiu Xiang drew the curtain, and Li San Niang washed her hands, dried them, rubbed them to warm them, and then touched Aunt Luo's body.
At the same time, Li San Niang also activated her X-ray vision, which was essentially a prenatal checkup for Aunt Luo, just in case she missed something when taking her pulse.
After seeing off Aunt Luo and her daughter-in-law Xiu Niang, Li Susu, who had been diagnosed with uterine fibroids on the same day as the previous visit, arrived.
This time, her younger sister, Li Yingying, accompanied her again.
"After taking Dr. Li's prescription for a while, I really feel much better. I'm eating more than when I was sick, and my complexion looks better too."
Li San Niang nodded as she listened to Li Su Su's words, and after asking the usual questions, she began to take Li Su Su's pulse before finally going into the inner room to examine her.
This time, neither Li Susu nor Li Yingying was as shy as before. Li Yingying even sighed, "Thanks to Dr. Li, it's much more convenient for us girls to see a doctor."
While examining Li Susu's abdomen, Li Sanniang activated her X-ray vision to observe and note the size of several larger tumors, intending to compare them with the size when Li Susu came again.
Li San Niang pressed down gently, then turned to ask Li Su Su, "Does it hurt?"
Li Susu shook her head and replied, "It doesn't hurt."
After the group sat back down at their consultation tables, Li Sanniang picked up her pen and began to write in the medical record book, saying as she wrote, "There has been some improvement, which means the medicine prescribed before was effective."
I'll continue prescribing the medicine based on the dosage. If you take it on time, the effect might be even better next time, and it will also improve your complexion.
As the afternoon shift was about to end, Manager Gao came out from the inner room.
"I have something to tell you all. It's snowing today, so our alliance should be able to organize the second free clinic of the year."
"At that time, our clinic will need to send two people out every day. I looked at the schedule from the first half of the year, and it was Dr. Li," Manager Gao said, looking at Dr. Li, "who went with Dr. Cui. So this time, Dr. Tang and Dr. Li will go together."
After Manager Gao finished speaking, he looked at Tang Mingyue and Li Sanniang, who naturally stood up and agreed.
...
The 28th day of the 11th lunar month is an auspicious day for marriage.
Earlier, Li San Niang received a wedding invitation sent by Guo Wu Niangzi. When the day arrived, it happened to be Li San Niang's day off. Li San Niang got up early today, changed into a light green dress, paired with a pale yellow jacket, and put on a silver hairpin.
After everything was settled, he took the box that Li Dasao had helped him pack, put it on, and got into the carriage with Qiu Xiang, heading towards Taipingfang.
After divorcing Jiang Erlang, Guo Wuniang went to live with her uncle in Taipingfang.
This marriage was arranged by Guo Wu Niang's aunt herself, and the matchmaker was Guo's uncle's subordinate.
This humble official is not much older than Guo Wuniang, only five or six years older.
His first wife had feelings for his cousin and didn't want to be close to him. They couldn't live together anymore, so they divorced.
Uncle Guo saw that this man had a respectable appearance. Although he was only a minor official at the moment, if Uncle Guo were to help him, he would have the ability to succeed and his future would be bright.
His first wife did not leave any children, so wouldn't it be perfect for him to be paired with Guo Wu Niang?
The subsequent meeting proceeded naturally. Guo Wu Niangzi thought the man was acceptable and told him that she would need to recuperate for quite some time and could not have children for another six months to a year.
The man agreed, adding, "Children's affairs are all about fate; they'll come when the time is right."
Because the Ministry of Personnel's year-end assessment is approaching, Uncle Guo wants to send this person to another prefecture to gain experience for a few years. Once he has gained experience, he can then be transferred back to Chang'an.
Thus, the marriage was arranged quickly, and the series of ceremonies were completed in just two months.
Upon arriving at the Guo family's residence, Li San Niang got out of the carriage, intending to go forward and inquire. However, Guo Wu Niangzi, being considerate, sent a maidservant to wait outside.
"Is this Dr. Li?"
Fifth Sister asked me to fetch Doctor Li. Doctor Li, please.
