Chapter 21: Worrying about family matters

Zhang Dahu vomited blood and fainted, causing the Zhang family to panic. Yu's anger was extinguished, but it immediately turned to sadness.

Staying at Zhang Dahu's bedside, weeping silently.

Zhang Zhengdao quickly sent the housekeeper Zhang Bo to ask for a doctor.

It was almost dusk when Uncle Zhang hurriedly brought a doctor who was about thirty years old back home.

In the bedroom, the doctor first raised Zhang Dahu's eyelids, then listened for his pulse, and then slowly said: "The anger is attacking my heart, and I have lost my vitality. It seems that I need a strong dose of medicine."

Although Zhang Zhengdao was not familiar with medical science, he knew about Zhang Dahu's condition, so he couldn't help but ask: "My father is weak and weak. Why doesn't he use light medicine instead of strong medicine?"

The doctor smiled "haha" and said respectfully: "Young officials don't know something. Although your father is weak, he is also dissatisfied with his vitality, so he needs to use strong medicine to replenish his vitality. Doctors say that the moon is weak.

Then make up for it."

When Zhang Zhengdao heard this, he felt that what he said was reasonable.

Mrs. Yu wiped her tears and said, "Doctor, please take the medicine quickly."

The doctor replied: "Don't worry, madam. The student will write down two prescriptions and take the medicine accordingly. The first prescription is strong and needs to be decoctioned and taken for two days. The second prescription is for replenishing qi and blood and needs to be taken continuously.

In half a month, the patient will recover."

The butler, Uncle Zhang, brought a pen and paper, and the doctor quickly wrote out the prescription.

The servants in Zhang Boling's mansion hurriedly went to the drug store to buy medicine, and then had to settle the bill with the doctor.

Zhang Zhengdao, on the other hand, was extra cautious, fearing that if the doctor's medical skills were not good enough, he would eat someone to death and he could not be found, so he clasped his fists and saluted, and asked: "May I ask this doctor, who is his name?"

The doctor returned the greeting and said: "Back to Xiaoguan, the student's surname is Jiang, his given name is Zhushan, and his courtesy name is Wenhui. He is from Bianliang Chengtai Hospital in Tokyo."

Zhang Zhengdao looked carefully and found that this man had a short stature. Although his posture was elegant, his eyes were wandering when he spoke. He must be a frivolous and cunning person.

When Jiang Zhushan saw that Zhang Zhengdao was silent, he just thought that he was suffocated by his origins in the imperial hospital, so he continued: "The student has been learning medical skills since he was a child. Although he dare not say that he will be rejuvenated by his wonderful skills, he has cured many dignitaries."
Zhang Zhengdao listened to his bragging and sneered in his heart: "Since your medical skills are so good, how come you can't cure the wax spear head that you don't like?"

It turns out that he was silent just now because he remembered the person in front of him. Isn't this Jiang Zhushan who took advantage of the situation and became Li Ping'er's son-in-law for two months?

"Doctor Jiang, I need to worry too much about my father's illness." Zhang Zhengdao smiled, and then ordered Uncle Zhang to settle the expenses with him and send him out of the house.

Regardless of Jiang Zhushan's character, his medical skills were pretty good. After all, he came from the Imperial Hospital and was at least better than those quack doctors, so Zhang Zhengdao was relieved and let him go.

Back in the house, Ms. Yu was still sitting on the bedside, holding Zhang Dahu's hand and telling her all the love in the past.

Zhang Zhengdao comforted her and said: "Mom, I asked you about it. The doctor is from Tokyo Imperial Hospital and has great medical skills. After taking the medicine, dad will wake up."

Mrs. Yu shed tears and cried: "This old immortal is actually worrying and making people angry."

Zhang Zhengdao talked to her again and finally coaxed Mrs. Yu.

After a while, the servant who went to grab the medicine hurriedly returned home, and Uncle Zhang took people to the kitchen to boil the medicine.

After another half an hour, the medicine was ready. Uncle Zhang carefully brought it into the house and drank it for Zhang Dahu.

After drinking the medicine, everyone waited quietly in the room.

Jiang Zhushan was indeed worthy of his boast. After a moment, Zhang Dahu groaned, coughed twice, shouted "It hurts me so much", then opened his cloudy eyes and woke up.

Mrs. Yu was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Officer, are you awake? I was scared to death."

Although Zhang Dahu was awake, he could not speak clearly. He just murmured in a low voice: "Madam, don't... drive me... out of the door..."

Mrs. Yu shed tears and said, "Don't mention this matter again. Whatever you want to do in the future, just do it."

Zhang Zhengdao waved to Uncle Zhang to come out of the house with him, leaving the old couple to talk privately.

In the yard, Uncle Zhang sighed: "As for the master and his wife... ugh!" The words that filled his mouth finally turned into a long sigh.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Dr. Jiang, your medical skills are still good. Uncle Zhang, don't worry. Just give my father the medicine on time."

Zhang Bodao: "Little officials, don't worry."

Zhang Zhengdao was reminded by this incident that in this era, there are very few good doctors, but there are many sick people.

The Zhang family is considered a wealthy family, but they don’t even have a dedicated doctor. If someone in the family is sick, they have to go out to ask for one, which really delays things.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhengdao ordered: "Uncle Zhang, find all the famous doctors and doctors in Qinghe County and ask them one by one if they are willing to come and be used by my Zhang family."

"In addition, I remember that there seems to be an imperial doctor named Ren in the county, who seems to be named Ren Houxi. No matter how much money is spent, he will be invited to my Zhang family."

Zhang Zhengdao remembered that although Imperial Physician Ren also liked to brag, he was from the Imperial Hospital and his medical skills were quite superb.

"If he doesn't want to, he has to be kidnapped and I will talk to him personally." Zhang Zhengdao added.

Uncle Zhang saw that his junior official was still acting like this. How could he kidnap a doctor to his home? But he still nodded and said, "I'll send someone to do it right now."

Zhang Zhengdao returned to the house again. Zhang Dahu listened to Yu's nagging for a while and then fell asleep again.

"Mom, Dad is fine. You can go back and rest. I will be with you in everything." Zhang Zhengdao advised Yu to go back to her room and rest.

Mrs. Yu wiped her eyes and cried a lot. She was tired, so she stood up and said softly: "It's a good thing you are here, otherwise my mother would be so panicked."

At this moment, she felt that adopting Zhang Zhengdao into her family was an extremely correct decision. As the old couple grew older, the family would fall apart if there was no backbone and pillar.

Zhang Zhengdao helped her out of the house, called Jin Lian who had been waiting outside the house, and said: "Take good care of my wife, you can stay in the backyard for the next few days."

Pan Jinlian Nuonuo said yes and helped Mrs. Yu to rest.

As for Bai Yulian, her wish to die failed, as if she had lost her soul, her eyes were dull and she was in a daze.

"Okay, this is such a big deal, and it's not worth it to live or die. In the past few days, you have been by my side and obeyed me." Zhang Zhengdao scolded, waking up Bai Yulian, who had no light in his eyes.
He took this maid who might become his second mother and returned to his room.

Zhang Zhengdao told her: "Go and get me a basin of water to wash your face. You will sleep in Jinlian's house tonight."

Bai Yulian went obediently, fetched a basin of water, and did not forget to take the towel and put it in the room.

After Zhang Zhengdao washed up and wiped his face, he remembered that he had not eaten yet, so he asked Bai Yulian to go to the kitchen to get some food.

Sitting in the room, Zhang Zhengdao sighed: "What the hell is this!"
