Da Song a knife

Early the next morning, before dawn, Zhang Sijiu went to the Imperial Medical Office to report, and then waited for Dr. Lu to take him into the palace.

Dr. Lu is indeed a bit old now.

You need the help of a servant to walk.

It was not difficult for the last carriage to tremble even more.

After finally getting into the carriage, Dr. Lu let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Sijiu was trembling with fear for a long time, and now he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Doctor Lu waited for his breath to calm down, and then slowly said: "After entering the palace, don't look around, don't run around, and don't talk too much."

Zhang Sijiu nodded again and again: "Thank you, Imperial Physician Lu, for your guidance."

"Basically, your master and I entered the Imperial Medical Office in one year." Dr. Lu began to recall the past.

"When he left angrily, I was only 45." Dr. Lu smiled: "I admire your master quite a bit. He is capable and has a big temper. Everyone says that once he leaves, there will be more people in the future." He regretted the time. But I see, he did not regret it."

Zhang Sijiu told the truth for Gu Qingzhou: "In the imperial medical office, there is the lack of freedom of the imperial medical office. Outside, there is freedom outside."

Gu Qingzhou's character is not suitable for staying in the officialdom.

Otherwise, sooner or later, I will lose my head.

Dr. Lu smiled and nodded: "That's true. I think he's living a happy life. He also took in such a good apprentice. Unlike me..."

He sighed: "In fact, I also took in two female disciples. But they didn't learn deeply. In the end, they all stayed in the palace to serve. In the end, I still had to pass on my medical skills to the male disciples."

"Sometimes it's a pity to think about it." Dr. Lu stroked his white beard and said sadly, "Who doesn't have the dream of hanging the pot to help the world?"

But in the end, they were all trapped in these official positions, rights, salaries and fame.

Zhang Sijiu listened quietly, a little confused: What is the old doctor trying to say?

Dr. Lu rambled on for a long time without focusing on the point, basically recalling the past and adding emotion.

It wasn't until he got out of the carriage at the gate of the palace that he said: "Sometimes people, it's great if they don't change their original intentions."

Zhang Sijiu wondered about this sentence, and felt that it was possible that he hadn't really said it to himself until now, until this sentence.

So, what's going to happen in a while?

After pondering for a while, after getting out of the car, Zhang Sijiu no longer pondered, and followed Dr. Lu in obediently.

The little eunuch who was in charge of leading the way did not say a word.

Everyone was silent, sticking to their duties, as if trapped in a frame by invisible things.

However, the scenery of the inner garden of the palace is still very unusual.

That building, that plant and every tree—everywhere exudes a sense of majesty and solemnity, and there are two words: rich!

If it is three words, it is: not short of money!

Carved beams and painted buildings are not enough to describe the exquisiteness.

It can only be said that the people living in this posture can only be the emperor of Song Dynasty and his family members.

All the way to the palace where the Queen Mother lived.

Before going in, Dr. Lu took another look at Zhang Sijiu. This time, the meaning was very clear.

Zhang Sijiu raised two index fingers, and made a fork directly on his mouth.

Dr. Lu was amused.

Looking at Zhang Sijiu's gaze, it was a little less strange, and there was a little more love and affection for his grandchildren.

Empress Dowager Liu is also getting old now, they waited outside the hall for a while, and then they were able to meet each other.

Even though Empress Dowager Liu is well maintained, she still looks old and tired.

This is caused by not sleeping well all year round and overthinking.

Especially that hair - almost all white, not much worse than Dr. Lu's.

And the hair volume is not so thick.

Zhang Sijiu couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart: Look, state administrators are not so easy to do.What a worry!

Anyone who is worried will always be reflected in the body.

And the most important thing about staying up late is: long bags under the eyes and a sallow complexion.

Empress Dowager Liu has both.

Moreover, the wrinkles between Empress Dowager Liu's eyebrows are obviously heavier than those in other places.

It can be seen from this point that Empress Dowager Liu spends a lot of time frowning.

Zhang Sijiu only glanced quietly, then looked away, and stood obediently beside Dr. Lu.

After Dr. Lu had checked Empress Dowager Liu's pulse, he said, "The empress dowager should take more rest."

Empress Dowager Liu stared at Dr. Lu and asked, "The Ai family has felt worse than each year in the past two years. Tell the Ai family the truth, what's going on?"

Dr. Lu was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "The empress dowager, human body and skin, there is always a pattern. This is normal. Besides, although the empress dowager has nourishment, she always works too much. Every time she enters and goes out, she still needs to work hard. There are gaps. There is nothing to do."

Zhang Sijiu understood: Oh, that is to say, the Queen Mother is old.No one can resist natural aging.

Empress Dowager Liu sighed: "The Ai family understands."

She turned her head to look at Zhang Sijiu with a pleasant expression: "Good boy, come forward and let Aijia have a look."

Zhang Sijiu obediently stepped forward and was watched.

Empress Dowager Liu watched for a long time without saying a word.

Zhang Sijiu secretly thought: Well, it seems that his looks are too ordinary, so I can't find anything to praise him for!
Empress Dowager Liu laughed: "You don't have to be so cautious in front of Ai's family. You raise your head, and look straight, strangely serious."

Zhang Sijiu raised his head.

Empress Dowager Liu finally found what she was boasting about: "These eyes are really beautiful, and it looks like a smart child."

Zhang Sijiu breathed a sigh of relief for Empress Dowager Liu: Emma finally found something to be proud of.

Empress Dowager Liu asked Zhang Sijiu: "How is your No. [-] Hospital doing?"

Zhang Sijiu finally found the topic, and replied with a smile: "Thanks to the support and care of the Imperial Medical Office, it's going well. Now there are a lot of patients, especially at night. In addition, there are the most obstetrics. The only regret is that the manpower Not enough. And female nurses are always scolded."

When Dr. Lu heard this, his eyelids twitched: Is it possible to say this? !The first few sentences are normal, but you have to say the latter one?
When Empress Dowager Liu heard this, she laughed: "I've heard about this too, why do you want to use female nurses?"

Zhang Sijiu said truthfully: "We also want male nurses, but men are not willing to do the dirty work of serving others, and they are not careful enough, so what can we do? In fact, even doctors, if there are female nurses Yes, we want it too. But isn't there nothing?"

Empress Dowager Liu laughed even harder, and her smile became sincere: "Hearing your words, they are all the truth. You are really not afraid at all. Why is that?"

Zhang Sijiu told the truth in a serious manner: "I haven't heard of you or the officials, because whoever tells the truth or says something that doesn't listen will kill and beat people. Moreover, I can do it for the first time." A hospital also has the support of you and the government. You ask me, how can I tell lies?"
