But this matter is obviously not urgent. It is still the winter festival and everyone is settling down and meditating, so there is no need to work too hard.

Man Bao asked Dr. Liu, "Has anyone announced that you will enter the palace to give the Queen Mother acupuncture?"

"Yes, I went to the palace yesterday evening to get an acupuncture. Grandpa said that Xiao Yuan should announce my admission to the palace today."

She still holds the position of the palace's medical lady. Although she does not have to live in the palace, she still has to appear at any time when the palace requests it.

Only when you become an imperial physician can you have greater autonomy.

Man Bao then asked her about the details of the acupuncture and the Queen Mother's pulse condition.

Liu Sanniang was not qualified enough to feel the Queen Mother's pulse. She could only judge the condition based on the pulse records written by the imperial physician on duty. However, it had only been one day, and the Queen Mother's acupuncture methods had not changed. She still used the two sets of acupuncture methods instructed by her master.

Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "You should still check your pulse. I will mention it to Xiao Yuanzheng when I return from leave. I will ask you to take your pulse again when you get an acupuncture in the future, so that you can be aware of it."

Liu Sanniang was a little excited, but said: "But only an imperial physician can take a pulse..."

"The Queen Mother's acupuncture method is determined by me, so you can follow the acupuncture method, but what if you encounter a patient who needs acupuncture in the future but I have not seen it?" Man Bao said: "Although other imperial doctors can take pulses, you can

Determine the acupuncture method based on their pulse chart. But with medical skills, you still have to take your own pulse and then decide on the acupuncture method."

Liu Sanniang bowed her head and responded.

Man Bao kept this in mind and planned to go and talk to Xiao Yuanzheng after taking the leave.

Shopkeeper Zheng, who was instructing Zhou Liru in making ointment in the pharmacy, heard their voices softening and guessed that they had finished speaking, so he appeared with a smile.

Dr. Liu bowed politely and retreated to the front hall to discuss her medical skills with her two senior brothers.

Shopkeeper Zheng smiled and said: "Doctor Zhou, I made a lot of bacon and sausages at home, and also made a lot of meatballs. I originally asked Zheng Gu to send you some, but I didn't expect you to send them first."

It stands to reason that Zheng Gu and others are Zhou Man's disciples. As disciples, they should deliver delicious food to their doorsteps on the Winter Solstice.

Early this morning, Manbao and Baishan Baierlang brought a lot of delicious food to Mr. Zhuang, and they had a breakfast with Mr. Zhuang.

When she went out, Bai Dalang happened to move back with his wife, and he also brought a lot of delicious food to Mr. Zhuang.

Man Bao waved his hand and said, "I don't care about these false gifts. Besides, I may not have seen Shopkeeper Zheng and Doctor Ding for a long time, so I came to see you."

Shopkeeper Zheng said with a serious face: "That won't work. Other etiquette can be discarded, but the etiquette of respecting teachers cannot be discarded. By noon, Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao will definitely come to the door."

Then the home still has to be prepared to entertain guests.

Shopkeeper Zheng had already approached Zhou Man to change the subject. He asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, is your family going to marry the Liu family?"

Doctor Liu mentioned it, and now that the adults in her family are satisfied and the two younger ones are also interested, the matter is more than half settled, so Man Bao said with a smile: "I'll invite shopkeeper Zheng to a wedding banquet then."

Shopkeeper Zheng felt very sad, jealous and envious at the same time, and sighed: "My Zheng Gu is older than Dr. Liu, and I haven't found a suitable girl yet."

In fact, he still thinks Zhou Lijun is good, but Zheng Gu doesn't like him.

When he saw Zhou Man at this time, he couldn't help but hint, "Mr. Zhou, you have a second niece of the right age. When will she get engaged?"

Man Bao followed her mother and led her fourth and fifth brothers on so many dates. In those two years, she saw eight out of ten girls that Zhou Lang and Wu Lang dated, and they all stood aside as tools.

Watch.

She was very familiar with this kind of opening remarks, so she shook her head without thinking, "Lijun and Zheng Gu are not suitable."

Shopkeeper Zheng didn't expect her to refuse so simply. He was stunned and asked: "Why?"

Man Bao said: "Zheng Gu is too soft-tempered, but my family is very capable of setting up the throne."

After saying that, he glanced at Shopkeeper Zheng, and even her mother knew that Li Jun was not worthy of the Zheng family.

Lijun was very ambitious, but Zheng Gu was not, and the Zheng family was only the second wife in the Zheng family. Although they now have the upper hand, there were a lot of intrigues inside.

Although shopkeeper Zheng managed Jishitang very well, she knew from the words of Dr. Ding and others that Zheng's influence on the pharmacy was not small.

There will be no benefit if Lijun enters the Zheng family, he will only be controlled in every way, which is not good for Zheng Gu, the Zheng family, Zhou Lijun and the Zhou family.

Man Bao said: "The Lijun of my family is someone who can go to the grassland to collect medicinal materials, and can also go to the back house to sell moisturizing cream."

Shopkeeper Zheng opened his mouth, and when he thought about his son's cowardice, he became discouraged. He nodded and said, "That's right, Zheng Gu is not worthy of Lijun."

Man Bao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether they are worthy or not, only whether they match or not."

She thought about it and felt that she had to care about this eldest disciple, so she said to Shopkeeper Zheng: "Shopkeeper Zheng, this important matter of marriage depends on whether the couple likes it or not. Only if you like it can you live a smooth life, otherwise we will force them to stay together."

, if they don’t live well in the future, they will blame their elders, and the matter between husband and wife may become the matter of two families.”

Shopkeeper Zheng saw that she was talking all the time at such a young age, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Little doctor Zhou, you are not married yet, how come you are so understanding?"

Man Bao said: "Although I am not married yet, I am engaged, and I have seen a lot of them since I was a child."

She said: "I have six brothers, and they all got engaged at home after they fell in love with me. My mother said that life is a matter for the young couple, and they have to make it their own way."

She didn't pay much attention to these things at first, but until her sixth brother proposed marriage, he didn't like this or that, and they never got married.

Her father once wanted to forcefully get him engaged and choose a wife for him to marry and that would be it.

In his words, after getting married and sleeping in the same bed, can he still not want a wife?

But her mother disagreed. She was afraid that she, the spectator, would imitate her father, so she used examples from her own family and the village to teach her.

"You see, Dazhu and Dazhu's wife are usually on good terms, right? When Qianer quarreled, he said all kinds of unpleasant things, and even involved the parents of both families. Even your sister-in-law had a big quarrel with Dazhu's wife.

."

Naturally, this eldest sister-in-law is not Xiao Qian's family, but the village chief's wife. The village chief is the same generation as Man Bao. He is older, so Man Bao usually calls the village chief's wife his eldest sister-in-law.

Dazhu is the eldest son of the village chief, and it was the two families that made the decision to get them married, but it was said that neither Dazhu nor Dazhu's wife liked each other.

Qian said: "I don't know what I have fallen in love with. If my life is not good in the future, I will always have a lot of resentment. If I fall in love with him and agree to marry him, no matter how bad the couple's life is in the future, it will still be a matter between the couple."

Son, you have to carry it on by yourself even if you grit your teeth."

Such as her.

No matter how hard she lived in the Zhou family back then, she never complained about her parents or the Zhou family's parents, because this was her choice.

She was attracted to Zhou Jin back then.

"Although your five brothers and sisters-in-law all look at each other, they all made the decision intentionally. Do you think they will always be in harmony with each other after they get married?" Qian said: "How can we live without quarreling?

There are times when teeth are clenched, but no matter how bad things go, if they close the door and quarrel by themselves, they won't be able to damage the whole family. They should be like Dazhu and Dazhu's wife, who opened the door every time they had a quarrel and brought in the elders on both sides.

, no matter how much friendship there is, it will slowly wear away."

"So when it comes to getting married, it depends not only on the two families, but also on the couple's own wishes."
