Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Doctor Liu paused and followed her grandfather to the study.

Imperial Physician Liu handed over the medicine box to his entourage, sat down in the right seat in the study, looked up and down at the doctor's daughter Liu, and said, "The Queen Mother is ill, it is a cough, and Imperial Physician Zhou and I received the consultation last night. "

Doctor Liu listened with her head down. Although she didn't quite understand why her grandfather wanted to tell her this, she still listened carefully.

Imperial Physician Liu said: "Before leaving the palace today, Imperial Physician Zhou and Xiao Yuan had recommended you, thinking that you could perform acupuncture for the Empress Dowager on her behalf."

Doctor Liu was also slightly moved when she heard the words, and couldn't help but raised her head to look at Imperial Doctor Liu.

Imperial Physician Liu nodded to her and said to her, "This is your chance."

After a pause, he sighed and said, "Your medical skills are inherited from Imperial Physician Zhou. You grew up in Liu's family, and you should know that each family's medical system is different."

Doctor Liu responded in a low voice and whispered: "Grandfather, rest assured, granddaughter has no intention of fighting for the resources of the family."

Imperial Physician Liu was silent for a while and then said, "Grandfather didn't mean that. I just wanted to tell you that so far, the only woman who can allow women in the family to enter the palace to be imperial physicians, or women who go abroad to practice medicine, is the only imperial physician Zhou."

Others are unknown, and their medical skills are also very general. Local women who only understand some simple medical principles are not systematic at all.

Imperial Physician Liu said: "Sanniang, you are not too young, you should be getting married."

Doctor Liu's face changed, and she knelt down and said, "Grandfather, granddaughter is willing to go home and serve Master for life."

She said: "If the granddaughter is an official in the palace, it will also help the family."

Imperial Physician Liu moved shamelessly, but looking down at his granddaughter, he still shook his head and sighed: "It's too miserable to be married, you won't marry for the rest of your life, and the palace maids in the old and dead palace have another relationship with the palace maids. How much difference?"

But when she was at the critical moment of her medical studies, wouldn't her marriage be a waste of her efforts at this time?

This is the thing that Dr. Liu has been most afraid of this year. She really knows her family too well. When she is old, if she doesn't marry for a long time, it will definitely affect her younger brothers and sisters.

Not to mention uncles and aunts, even her parents would not want to.

Doctor Liu almost burst into tears, she said, "Grandfather, I studied medicine under the order of the empress and my master..."

Imperial Physician Liu said: "Let you marry, it's not that you will not study medicine."

Imperial Physician Liu said this for a while, and looked at her suspiciously, "Speaking of which, the boy from the Zheng family is older than you, right? You are brothers and sisters..."

Doctor Liu was a little sad and angry, "Grandfather, no granddaughter!"

Imperial Physician Liu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good if you don't, otherwise I won't have the face to see your master."

He said, "I have discussed with your master, and I will find a day for you to meet her nephew. If you like it, the two families will decide on a marriage."

Doctor Liu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Imperial Doctor Liu in surprise, "My master's nephew?"

Imperial Physician Liu nodded and sighed: "You want to continue to study medicine, and your ambition is in the officialdom. Your master is not willing to let people go. This is the best choice."

He pointedly said: "The Zhou family has already had a female imperial doctor. Obviously, she will not mind that the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law of the family will be officials in the palace again, but it will be different if they change to another family."

"You went to Gongben for a good marriage. You should know that it is difficult for such a family to show up after getting married. The family background is low, and they are willing to let you go out to practice medicine, I am afraid that the family's character is not very good. ." Imperial Physician Liu said: "After all, the Zhou family is the most suitable."

Doctor Liu became thoughtful.

Seeing that she didn't seem to object, Imperial Physician Liu nodded slightly with relief, remembering that she had two brothers of the same age, and was a little worried, "Sanniang, Zheng Shao has average talent, but Zheng Gu is good, but his identity is not suitable. , their Zheng family has always been very shrewd..."

Liu Yinu heard the subtext of her grandfather, and she was quite speechless, so she could only guarantee: "Grandfather, granddaughter has no relationship between men and women, only brothers and sisters."

Seeing this, Imperial Physician Liu nodded with satisfaction, and said, "That's very good. The Zheng family has Ji Shitang, and our Liu family has always been close to the Baicaotang. Our two families must not be married."

But there can be other relationships around the corner.

Doctor Liu bowed her head and responded.

Imperial Physician Liu waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go. Prepare some nice clothes and jewelry for the past two days. If you need anything, go and ask your father and mother for it."

Doctor Liu responded in a low voice.

By the time Ji Shitang arrived, she was already the last one to arrive. Even Zhou Liru came and was helping Shopkeeper Zheng in the backyard to make medicinal herbs and ointment.

Doctor Liu saw that there were not many patients in the front hall, and Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao occupied Zhou Man's consulting room, so she went to the backyard to sit with Zhou Liru and pound medicinal materials with her.

She can only pound medicinal materials in the yard, like entering the pharmacy to boil the ointment, she can't take it, after all, it involves some secret prescriptions of Ji Shitang.

In contrast, Zhou Liru can go in and out freely, and he can learn whatever he wants. Manager Zheng basically doesn't hide it from her.

Doctor Liu is also very careful to avoid suspicion.

So she knew from the beginning that the Liu and Zheng families would never get married.

It's just that she doesn't like it very much, why do the adults look like they are about to marry when they see their brothers and sisters getting closer.

Zhou Liru asked the doctor Liu, "Senior sister, you have something on your mind today."

Doctor Liu looked at her, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask, "Junior sister, I remember that you have a brother above you, right?"

"Yeah," Zhou Liru said with a look of disgust, "I'm two years older than me, I hate it."

Doctor Liu did the math, and found that she was one or two years younger than herself, but she was holding a golden brick in her junior year. She asked without mind, "How is your second brother?"

Zhou Liru shook his head directly, "No, I'm still grabbing buns with me today, my aunt made meat buns, which are very delicious. I wanted to bring some for my brothers and sisters, but they were all caught by my brothers. Finished eating."

Doctor Liu: ...It doesn't sound very reliable.

Doctor Liu: "I remember you still have a cousin?"

"Yes, there are two. My third cousin is two months older than my aunt."

"What about your brother in the hall?"

"He's the biggest in the house."

"How about the others?"

Zhou Liru said without thinking, "It's much better than my second brother, my eldest brother never robs us to eat, he always lets us."

Doctor Liu nodded, feeling quite satisfied.

Zhou Liru was very curious, "Senior sister, why are you asking this?"

Doctor Liu was a little embarrassed, because the matter had not yet been decided, so she couldn't say anything, so she could only vaguely say, "Just ask."

At this time, Man Bao was sitting at home drinking goat milk and eating buns, while talking to Xiao Qian about her female apprentice.
