Reborn Doctor

Chapter 71

Guan Yi put two gold and red invitation cards on the table, and said: "My grandmother's birthday will be in a few days. My grandmother has been ill for more than three years and has been lying in bed to recuperate. She has not passed her birthday. Thanks to Dr. Kou's wonderful hand to rejuvenate After my grandmother’s illness was cured, my parents wanted to celebrate my grandmother’s birthday, and they were very angry. So, let me invite Dr. Kou and Auntie, and I hope you two will show respect.”

What a wealthy family Yongchanghou is, who doesn't know that Yongchanghou was the late emperor's companion, and he and the late emperor were like brothers and sisters?Today's successful accession to the throne is due to Yongchang Hou's contribution.

In this city of Nanjing, Marquis Yongchang has always kept a low profile. Some people would have no way to visit him, but if Marquis Yongchang needed anything, he would send someone there. All the officials in Nanjing City were scrambling to go there.

If the Marquis of Yongchang came to invite anyone, they would not dare not to go, but today, it was the prince of Yongchang who personally came to post a post to them, the family members of the two criminal ministers, and said very politely, "I hope they Appreciate face".

"Your Majesty is so polite!" Su Shi said very cautiously: "It is said that the Hou Mansion came to post a message, and you personally sent it. Even if our mother and daughter have great reasons, we have to go, but I am a widow at home now. , Tong Niang is still young, if she goes to the house, she might not be well-mannered and make people laugh."

Guan Yi smiled when he heard this, and didn't take it seriously.

During the Jin Dynasty, the atmosphere was open, and it was common for widows to remarry twice. Ordinary women only need to observe the festival for their husbands for a hundred days before they can go out to socialize. Su's saying this is just an excuse.

"What my aunt said was that I was the one who took the liberty to come today, but Doctor Xiao Kou cured my grandmother. The old man thanked Doctor Xiao Kou from the bottom of his heart, and sincerely hoped that Doctor Xiao Kou could go. Since he can't go, the younger generation won't go. Reluctantly!"

Guan Yi picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and said with some regret: "Because of Dr. Xiao Kou's superb medical skills, there are several wives who have been with my mother on weekdays who want to know Dr. Kou. I intend to take this opportunity to introduce Dr. Kou to other wives, and if he can treat those wives in the future, Dr. Kou won’t have to run around the market.”

Su frowned slightly when she heard this.

What Guan Yi said really moved her.

Tong Niang earns money to support her family by relying on her medical skills, but she grows up day by day, and she can't always run out as usual.There were no taboos in the small place of Fanshui Town before, but now in Nanjing, how can we be as casual as before?
What's more, their mother and daughter have never been out of Nanjing since they came to Nanjing, and they have no contact with the Zheng family.It might be inappropriate to come to the door rashly like this. It would be great if someone could bring a letter to the Zheng family.

But they know so few people, who can they turn to!

This banquet is an excellent opportunity, and there will always be contacts between the wives.With the recommendation of Mrs. Yongchang Houfu, within a few days, the dignitaries in Nanjing will know that Tongniang is good at medicine, and the Zheng family is a family of medicine, so they will not be careless about such things.As long as the Zheng family is interested, they will definitely come to them.

Kou Tong, who was standing beside him, remained silent all the time, because he did not expect that Guan Yi would actually invite her to attend the birthday banquet of Mrs. Hou Yongchang.

She doesn't want to go!

Before she divorced Zheng Shixiu, she was unwilling to go to Yongchang Marquis Mansion again.No matter what the reason is.She always felt that Guan Yi's invitation to their mother and daughter was not just as simple as attending a birthday banquet.

"My son, thank you for your kindness, this matter..."

As soon as she finished her sentence, Su Shi took it over: "This matter is up to your son! It's the first time you have delivered the post at home in person, and we have to go no matter how busy we are. What's more, There was nothing to do at first. Thank you for the invitation from the Marquis of Yongchang, we will definitely go when the time comes."

"In this case, this junior will leave!" Guan Yi stood up and said, "On that day, I will have someone carry a sedan chair to pick you up!"

Mrs. Su declined for a while, but seeing Guan Yi's insistence on this, she let him go.

Thinking that Zimo was going to take an exam at the Imperial Hospital in Beijing after a while, Kou Tong took out the medical records she had copied and her father's medical records she had sorted out before, and prepared to give them to Zimo for him to study.

As a doctor, Zimo has a good grasp of medical theory and pharmacology. If there are shortcomings, it is that he has little practical experience and has seen few cases.These medical records are all based on actual outpatient records, which should be helpful to Zimo.

She packed her things and was about to go out when she saw Su opened the door and Zimo had already arrived.

"Come in, come in." Su greeted Zimo with a smile: "Did you sleep well last night? Are you used to living in an inn? Have you had breakfast yet?"

With a smile on his face, Zimo answered them one by one.

He grew up with his grandfather, and later with his master. Although the two love him, they don't care about him as affectionately as Su Shi.

Therefore, when facing Su Shi, Zimo is always very patient.Answer ten questions like a well-behaved child, never impatient.

"I'm going to Beijing to take the exam soon, what are you doing when you're not studying medicine at the inn?" Kou Tong asked.

"There's no one like you!" Su said angrily, "Zimo, don't pay attention to him, come here whenever you want, treat this place as your own home, don't leave anyone alone, Auntie likes to see you here!"

"Mother!" Kou Tong said unyieldingly: "You only have Zimo in your eyes, and you obviously don't have a daughter like me! I was also concerned about Zimo and asked him that."

"Zimo's medical skills are good, and he will definitely pass the exam!"

Su stood up with a smile: "You talk, I will wash the clothes." Then he left.

"Sister, I have good news for you!"

"What good news?" Kou Tong's eyes lit up, "Is Master back?"

"No, it's about the selection of Taiyuan Hospital."

"What's that?"

"I learned this morning that the imperial hospital will select a group of female imperial physicians this year!"

Female imperial physician?
Kou Tong couldn't believe his ears, the imperial hospital wanted to select female imperial physicians, so wouldn't he be able to participate in it too!If she is selected as an imperial physician, it means that she will have the opportunity to meet the nobles in the palace. If she is lucky enough to get the favor of the nobles, she can wash away the grievances of her father...

She never dared to forget that her father died unjustly!Her father was charged for the Holy Majesty, she did not seek revenge, but only wished to clear her father's name. Her father was a good doctor, not a criminal!

"Zimo, is what you said true? The imperial hospital really wants to select female imperial physicians?" She looked very excited.

"Of course it is true, Senior Sister!" Zimo replied
"That would be wonderful!" she walked up and down happily.

"This matter has been posted on the list. Just two months later, one month after I finish the exam, I will select female imperial physicians. Because today is the first time, the specific procedure has not yet been determined. I heard that It was the female family members in the palace who felt that some private places should not be seen by the imperial physician, so they asked the Holy Majesty to choose a female imperial physician."

"What did you say? Only choose one? There are so many people in the whole country, only one female imperial doctor?" Kou Tong did not expect that the competition would be so fierce.

"Senior Sister, with your medical skills, you don't have to worry at all!" Zimo said: "The selection of female imperial physicians this time does not require girls from ordinary families, but only girls from aristocratic families, and a letter of recommendation written by someone above the fifth rank. Okay, an official can only recommend one person at most!"

How could it be so!
Not many ladies from aristocratic families learn medical skills. Even if they learn or know a little bit of medical skills, most of them just dabble in it as a hobby, and they are very proficient in the minority.However, it is not ruled out that the medical family also has women who study medicine. As far as she knows, Zheng Shixiu's younger sister, Zheng Lingwei, is very skilled in medicine.

Before Zheng Shixiu got those two books, she heard Zheng's father feel that Zheng Lingwei was not a man more than once.

In any case, with these two restrictions, the number of people participating in the selection of female imperial physicians will be greatly reduced.In this way, she has more opportunities.It seems that there is still hope for this matter.

"It's a pity that I only have one recommendation letter here. Master asked his friend in the capital to write it for me. My name was also written on it. If I had known that my senior sister would also have the opportunity to participate in the selection of the Supreme Hospital, I would have asked Master to write it for me as soon as possible." Some preparations."

"It doesn't matter!" Kou Tong said: "Zimo, don't worry about me. You forgot that my cousin is the third-rank servant of the Ministry of Rites! I will go back to Kou's house in a few days and ask my uncle and grandma for help. They will definitely be willing to help." mine."

Although Zimo didn't know the ins and outs of Kou Tong and the Kou family, but seeing that Kou Tong lived in Fangcao Lane instead of Jinxiu Street, the ancestral home of the Kou family, he could guess something about the situation.

Just looking at Kou Tong's relaxed look, he felt that he was thinking too much.

When it came to the birthday banquet of the old lady Hou in Yongchang, Kou Tong and Su Shi both dressed up solemnly.

Mrs. Su was wearing a sapphire-blue sash-breasted beige with flying bird patterns, and a moon-white group of moonflowers underneath. On her head, she wore a small silver phoenix hairpin with a double-bited chicken heart pendant.

Because I went to the Hou's Mansion today, she shouldn't be too plain, but compared with the female family members who come and go with the Hou's Mansion, she has a lower status, so it is not appropriate to dress up colorfully.

Kou Tong, on the other hand, wore the most common hair bun of her daughter's family, but she wore a white jade hairpin with red coral beads inlaid with double knots, and a round-neck trousers with a purple background and a white butterfly pattern.

Set off her whole person is both bright and beautiful.

After they entered the Marquis of Yongchang, Mrs. Marquis of Yongchang ordered someone to take the congratulatory gifts from Mrs. Su, welcomed them to the inner room, and spoke to Mrs. Su very politely: "Mrs. A girl with excellent looks, excellent medical skills, and beauty."

As she said that, she looked at Kou Tong with an unstoppable smile in her eyes.

Kou Tong looked at himself, there is nothing wrong with him, if there is something wrong, Mrs. Yongchang Hou will definitely tell him!There was clearly a good-natured smile in her eyes, but with a hint of teasing.

How strange!
