Chapter 246 Imperial Physician, Marriage?
Even Xu Jingru, who originally wanted to talk to Xiaoman, was forced to the very edge by the crowded people.
It wasn't until nearly noon that the crowd gradually dispersed.
Originally, all the officials warmly invited Xiaoman to dine with them, hoping to take this opportunity to cultivate a relationship with him and bring them closer together.
Xiaoman used all her persuasive skills and persuasion to finally convince them to give up.
Seeing his other colleagues leave one after another, Xu Jingru breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward, smiling, "Imperial Physician Su, congratulations, congratulations!"
Xiaoman quickly returned the greeting, saying humbly, "Old Xu, please don't flatter me. Just call me Xiaoman as before!"
Xu Jingru hurriedly waved his hand and said repeatedly, "No, no. Imperial Physician Su was personally appointed by the Spirit King. I dare not break the rules so casually."
Xiaoman looked troubled: "This..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Jingru took his hand and prepared to lead him towards the Imperial Hospital.
"Imperial Physician Su, please accompany this old man to the Imperial Hospital to collect the token."
With this token, Imperial Physician Su can have some convenience within the palace.
"Then we'll discuss and discuss our next steps together."
Xiaoman hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Old Xu, don't rush. Brother Shanzi and the others are still here. Let me tell them first."
Shanzi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to say more, just stay and keep Old Xu company."
We went to have a meal, and then went directly outside the city.
Once you're done here, just go straight back to the courtyard.
After Shanzi finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards a soldier.
As soon as they came out of the hall, the soldiers had already thoughtfully brought their horses over and were waiting quietly.
Shanzi took the reins from the soldier and thanked him with a smile.
Then he led his horse slowly toward the palace gate.
It should be noted that riding horses is strictly prohibited within the palace, and exceptions are only made in extremely urgent situations.
Seeing this, Daya, Xiaolie, Xiaoyue and the others took the reins from the soldiers and followed closely behind Shanzi.
At this moment, Shui'er quickly caught up with Shanzi and asked playfully, "Brother Shanzi, when are you planning to marry Sister Yao'er?"
Xiao He caught up and chimed in, "That's right! I overheard Grandma Su and Grandpa Cai talking about your marriage the other night!"
Shi Zi also came over with a grin and said, "Brother Shan Zi, you don't know yet, do you?"
When I returned to the courtyard yesterday evening, I saw Sister Yao'er and Sister Xiaodie standing at the gate, looking around!
When Xiaoyue heard Shizi teasing Shanzi like that, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The earthquake that occurred a month ago has terrified everyone.
Even after so much time has passed, everyone is still on tenterhooks.
Shanzi is the oldest among these children, and he is almost twenty-two years old now.
Cai Yao'er is about the same age as him.
After discussing it with Grandma Su, the most senior member of the Su family in Sujia Village, Cai Wen and Grandma Su both felt that they could no longer let Shanzi and Cai Yao'er's marriage be delayed in this way.
So last night, Shanzi was called together by Grandma Su and all the uncles and aunts.
Since Shanzi's relatives are all gone.
As the most respected elder in the village, Grandma Su personally led all the uncles and aunts in speaking.
Even if he had his own ideas, he could only follow their arrangements.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shanzi finally had no choice but to agree to follow their arrangements throughout the entire process.
Hearing Shui'er, Xiao He, and Shi Zi teasing him, Shan Zi blushed deeply with embarrassment.
He lowered his head and stammered, "No... I'm not quite sure. Grandma Su said she would discuss it with Uncle Cai and pick an auspicious day."
Shui'er exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, I can't even remember the last time I've seen someone get married!"
I can't wait to see the exciting wedding of Brother Shanzi and Sister Yao'er!
Xiao He also recalled, "Yes, the last time I saw a wedding was back in our village. It was so lively back then!"
Seeing this, Da Ya spoke up to stop them: "Alright, alright, you three, stop talking about Shanzi's wedding. There are still many things that need our help with!"
Upon hearing Da Ya's words, the three of them turned around in unison and obediently called out, "Sister Da Ya!"
Daya said earnestly, "Our primary task right now is to treat the injured people outside the city."
"Shanzi's wedding isn't going to just disappear suddenly, what's the rush!"
The three of them obediently replied, "Yes!"
As the group arrived outside the palace gates, they all mounted their horses and galloped out of the city.
On the other side, Xiaoman had already followed Xu Jingru to the Imperial Hospital and successfully received her own token.
Xu Jingru instructed Xiaoman: "Imperial Physician Su, this Imperial Physician's Certificate will be your credentials from now on."
With this, you can coordinate with other imperial physicians for assistance, and if you need any medicinal herbs, you can also take it to the pharmacy to obtain them.
You must keep it safe and never lose it!
Xiaoman nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, Mr. Xu, please rest assured, I will take good care of it!"
Xu Jingru nodded slightly and led Xiaoman into a main hall of the Imperial Hospital.
Inside the main hall, a dozen or so tables and chairs were arranged neatly.
The surrounding bookshelves were piled high with medical books, which also exuded the fragrance of ink.
After leading Xiaoman to her seat, Xu Jingru turned around and went to the bookshelf next to him, taking out several heavy books and placing them in front of Xiaoman.
Then Xu Jingru took out a medical book and placed it in front of him.
He then described the symptoms of the plague to him in detail.
He then said, "Imperial Physician Su, these medical books record many symptoms and prescriptions related to the plague."
You can take a closer look first; perhaps there are clues in the medical books that can give us some inspiration.
Xu Jingru took another book, opened it, and placed it in front of Xiaoman.
"Look, this is the part I studied last night. You can take a look. When I read this part last night, I felt that this plague was similar to what was marked here."
Xiaoman responded and immediately looked at the pages of the book.
The two then immersed themselves in the vast sea of books.
They occasionally exchanged their insights on the symptoms and prescriptions in hushed tones, the atmosphere focused and solemn.
Since Xiaoman had not yet gone to Anxing County to see the patients in person, her understanding of the plague was basically based on the account of Imperial Physician Xu Jingru.
Therefore, during the exchange, Xiaoman mostly raised questions, and Xu Jingru patiently answered them.
Although Xiaoman had a basic level of literacy, he still found the many professional terms in medical books difficult to understand.
Whenever he encountered a word he couldn't understand, he had to ask Xu Jingru for help.
Xu Jingru always taught him meticulously, explaining the meaning of words and the medical principles behind them in detail.
And so, the two of them spent the whole day immersed in the world of medical books.
They flipped through the pages one by one, studying and discussing them repeatedly, not letting go of any clue.
