Zhou Lizhong's letter was not sent directly to Qingzhou, because he knew that it was too far from Luojiang County to Qingzhou, and if he went to the post station, not to mention the time, whether he could get there was a problem.
So he directly entrusted someone to send it to Zhou's house in the capital, and then sent it to Qingzhou with his family members.
He knew that there were people from the capital sending letters to Qingzhou every month, either this one or that one.
And if he remembers correctly, my sister-in-law and the princess are about to give birth, and there will be more things sent to Qingzhou during this period, not less.
Zhou Lizhong's guess was right, his letter had just arrived in the capital, and someone came from the palace at the back, and asked: "The palace wants to send some things to the princess, my lady asked me to come over and ask, is there any need for the family to take it with you?" Things from the past? Pack them up and send them together tomorrow."
When the Zhou family and the Bai family heard this, they immediately responded, and immediately packed a lot of things and handed them to the servants.
Another handful of copper coins was stuffed into the servant.
Regardless of the fact that it was just a handful of copper coins, the servant was happy enough to accept it with a smile, and carried several packages into the palace, and sent them to Qingzhou together the next day.
Together with the maids in the palace, Zheng Gu and two female students from the imperial medical department who just graduated this year also set off.
They brought their family members to Qingzhou to work together. They met this group of people in the palace on the way, and because they were all public officials, they simply left together.
Ten days later, a group of people arrived in Qingzhou at the same time, and the maids did not stop, and went directly to Beihai County.
Zheng Gu took two junior sisters to look for Wen Tiandong in the Qingzhou Medical Office.
Seeing them heaving a sigh of relief, Wen Tiandong was about to burst into tears. He stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Gu's hand and said, "Brother Zheng, if you don't come, I won't be able to hold on anymore."
It's just too busy.
Zheng Gu and Wen Tiandong were students who started in the same year, but because of his good foundation, Zheng Gu was accepted into another class and graduated a year earlier than them.
So when they meet again, they will always be addressed as Senior Brother and Junior Brother.
Zheng Gu glanced at the Qingzhou Medical Office, nodded and said, "It looks pretty neat, and there aren't many patients, why are you crying?"
"It's because it's noon, and the patients are all taking their numbers to eat," Wen Tiandong said, "Moreover, there is not only one medical office in Qingzhou, but two. The teacher also asked people to prepare a house in Changshou County. Just waiting for us to find time to open the medical office over there, do you think I am busy?"
"By the way, the teacher's day is coming soon. She has already started to rest now. The medical offices on both sides need me to run. Fortunately, there are three mature apprentices there, otherwise I will be even more busy."
But even so, some things cannot be left to apprentices, so Wen Tiandong is even busier.
Zheng Gu understood, and said to him, "We have to go to Beihai County to meet Master first."
Wen Tiandong said regretfully, "I can't leave, you can go."
He looked at the two young ladies behind him, his eyes sparkled, "These two junior sisters just..."
"We are going to visit the teacher too." The two young ladies immediately said.
Wen Tiandong could only look at them with regret and sadness.
The two young ladies, one named Cao Yixuan and the other named Wei Man, are both female students who just graduated this year. They have defeated many talents to win the chance to come to Qingzhou.
They have also studied with Zhou Man for three years. Among the many teachers in the Imperial Medical Office, Zhou Man is their favorite.
Moreover, she is the goal of all the female students in the imperial medical office. Cao Yixuan and Wei Man not only want to become an imperial physician like Zhou Man, but also want to be editors of Chongwenguan, who can discuss politics as a woman.
Now that he has come to Qingzhou, the most important thing is to see Zhou Man.
Zheng Gu also acted neatly. After seeing Wen Tiandong, he turned around and took people to Beihai County.
The servants have arrived ahead of time, they are constantly moving things down from the car, most of them are for Princess Mingda, only a few are for Zhou Man and Yin He.
Bai Shan followed to join in the fun, looking at it and feeling wrong, "It's fine if there is no Bai Er, why don't I have one?"
Bai Er: "... What do you mean if you don't have me? I don't have one, and I want to be a father. Why do you have it?"
Zhou Man opened a box, inside was a stack of letters, the top one was Zhou Lizhong's letter, she opened it and read it, she was very surprised.
Bai Shan saw that her complexion was different, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Do you still remember the very generous and generous Uncle Shi in our county?"
Bai Shan tilted his head and thought for a while before nodding, "Remember, my wish when I was young was to be him."
"Me too," said Bai Erlang beside him.
Seeing that Mingda and Yin Or both looked over curiously, Bai Erlang explained: "This Uncle Shi is very nice. Although we rarely go to the city, every time we go, whenever we meet him, he will treat us to eat or have a drink. A root of candied haws, or a piece of malt candy, or a steamed stuffed bun, and sometimes he won a cockfight, and when he was happy, he would send us big meat from the restaurant.”
Mingda: "... You, did you have a hard life when you were a child?"
Bai Erlang said: "It's not bitter, but how can the meat at home compare with the meat outside?"
He said: "The meat outside is very delicious."
Zhou Man: "Especially if someone else invites you."
Mingda and Yin or: …
The two became curious and asked, "And then?"
"His family is very rich," Bai Erlang recalled, but found that there were not many impressions. "I only remember that he is the only child in the family. He has everything he wants since he was a child. The family has never stopped him from spending money."
Even when he mentions it now, he still looks longingly, "We had to run Zhuangzi to make money back then, unlike him, who could spend as much as he wanted, and he lived in the city while we lived in the country. into town."
So at that time, all three of them made a vow to buy a yard in the county to live in, so that they could go shopping and eat delicious food every day.
It's a pity that they didn't go to the county town to buy a house in the end, but went directly to Yizhou City. Although they didn't buy a house, they realized their wish.
Zhou Man said coldly: "Now he has gambled away his family business, and only sold the last yard, and now he is homeless."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Bai Erlang coldly.
Bai Erlang shuddered under her gaze, and stammered: "Look, look at what I do, I don't gamble."
Bai Shan asked: "What's wrong with him now?"
Zhou Man put the letter away, unfolded the two sheets of paper at the back, and said, "It's not him, it's his son. He's sick and can't be cured."
She looked at the pulse case and frowned slightly, "This is..."
Bai Erlang probed curiously, "What is it?"
"Heart failure due to yang deficiency," Zhou Man frowned, "This disease is not curable."
