Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Zhang Xin was secretly delighted. The incident with the monk suddenly reminded her of the palace and the preparations she had made in advance.

After my grandfather ascended the throne, he issued an order that "if any concubine or below is ill, no doctor is allowed to enter the palace."

That is to say, concubines in the palace and those below the rank of concubine could not ask the imperial physician for treatment. They could only rely on the palace maids to orally describe their symptoms, and the imperial physician would prescribe medicine for them.

Even for those with a rank higher than concubine, there are still many restrictions.

After my father-in-law ascended the throne, my mother-in-law suffered from a breast disease. This part of her body could not be examined by the imperial physician, so my father-in-law was forced to use the hanging thread technique to diagnose her pulse.

At that time, it was said that it worked and my mother-in-law's illness was cured, but later she died without even having the chance to live in the Forbidden City.

Zhang Xin is not sure how many children the Empress Dowager gave birth to.

But my mother-in-law really gave birth to seven children in ten years, and the first few were one a year, so Zhang Xin felt that the loss must be considerable. In the later period, my mother-in-law was often sick, and the imperial physician could not really observe, smell, ask and feel, so my mother-in-law died very quickly.

After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, she stayed in the palace for so many years and complained about this matter more than once.

No matter what disease the concubines in the harem had, they just endured it.

If you are lucky, you can survive and continue to live. If you are not lucky, you will die.

The palace maids were even more miserable. When they were sick, only the female doctors could see them, and when they died, they were burned.

The ashes were actually scattered in the well of Anleyuan, but she only found out about this later.

The wells are all connected, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace all drink and drink water from the wells. How can this be good?

When the eunuchs and palace maids were sick, they would hide it if possible, for fear of being sent to the Anleyuan to die.

Be it Zhang Xin or Xu, all their eating utensils and daily living were served by eunuchs and palace maids. As long as the eunuchs and palace maids were sick, the fact that they were fine for a while didn't mean they weren't infected.

This is the biggest hidden danger for those people in the palace who never go out and have no blood circulation.

She had seen many palace concubines who fell ill and died within three to five days, which was extremely fast.

But this is the rule set by her royal grandfather, and she can't change it.

She herself later suffered a serious illness and almost never recovered.

When he came back this time, Zhang Xin made preparations in advance. There were two clinics among the dozen or so shops, and he had been hiring female doctors as a backup for the past two years.

Even if she can't use it for the time being, it will help her accumulate experience in treating illnesses. Once her father-in-law ascends the throne, she will look for an opportunity to recruit these female doctors into the palace.

This matter just happened to come up at this time, and she had to get through it first.

So Zhang Xin asked with a curious expression:

"Is it because of this that the royal grandfather is not allowed to see a doctor directly in the harem?"

"Maybe, it's better to know it in your heart. Anyway, this matter is taboo."

Zhu Gaochi had never thought about the issue of medical treatment for women in the palace from Zhang Xin's perspective before, but after hearing this, it seemed possible.

The Emperor's grandfather should have considered this aspect. After all, as a man, this kind of thing is the most taboo.

"Fortunately, we are far away—" Zhang Xin pretended to be relieved, and then continued to ask as if he remembered something, "No, the doctor in our mansion only treats the prince, the prince, and my second brother?"

"That's natural."

Zhu Gaochi answered as a matter of course.

"What about me and mom, and my sisters, and the ones in your backyard, and Wanxiu and the others?"

Zhang Xin's eyes widened.

"This...can you think of something better?"

Zhu Gao was furious.

"Why can't I think about this? Everyone can get sick. If I get sick, why won't the doctor in Wenfu treat me?"

Zhang Xin continued to ask questions even though she knew the answer.

"Here, just look through the curtain. Isn't your home in the city?"

Zhu Gaochi felt that this was normal and that this was how they had always lived.

"There is a female doctor in Yongcheng's clinic. You can invite her to come to the mansion to see the patient."

Zhang Xin retorted.

"And there's a female doctor? That's not bad."

This was something Zhu Gaochi had not expected. There was no female doctor in the palace, but he did not expect that there was one in Yongcheng.

"I also have a female doctor in my clinic. Can I invite her to come to the mansion to treat patients?"

Zhang Xin took a long time to finally get to the point.

"What? You still have a clinic?"

Zhu Gaochi was frightened again.

"Ah, didn't I tell you I have a shop?

The clinic is run by the widowed aunt of my second uncle's aunt's nephew.

Her family has been practicing medicine for generations, but she has no brothers in her generation.

After marrying in Yanjing, she only gave birth to two daughters. Her husband died early, and her husband's family disliked her for being a female doctor and having no son, so they drove them out.

In the end, he could only rely on his family's medical skills to open a small clinic to make a living.

That shop belongs to my second great uncle, and that clinic was opened by my eldest aunt with money borrowed from my second great uncle.

After we settled our relationship, my second uncle gave the shop to my father, saying that his family lived far away and couldn't help much, but if I had any problems here, they could help me out. "

Zhang Xin counted the relationships on his fingers and talked about the origins. His serious expression made Zhu Gaochi laugh. When Zhang Xin finished speaking, he asked:

"Is the dog in this family a male or female?!"

"Her family didn't have a dog before, but now they have two, a male and a female. My dad bought them for them after visiting them to guard the yard. The family is full of women, so there are always some not-so-genuine men who want to take advantage of them."

Zhang Xin didn't realize what Zhu Gaochi meant, so he answered honestly.

"Oh my god——my wife is so cute, what should I do! Hahaha——"

Zhu Gaochi was so happy that he held his stomach and started laughing.

"This... isn't that how things should be done?"

Zhang Xin really didn't understand how she had tickled this guy's funny bone.

This time living with Zhu Gaochi again, so many things are different. The bitter and vengeful Zhu Gaochi of his previous life is no longer seen, and he laughs at every turn.

"There's a difference between chatting and explaining!"

Zhu Gaochi laughed again.

"What's the difference? Can't you just say it all at once? Why do you have to ask and answer them one by one?"

Zhang Xin asked back.

"Well, my wife is right, my wife is right!"

Zhu Gaochi thought about it carefully and actually felt that there was nothing wrong with what Zhang Xin said.

The more he got along with Zhang Xin, the more he felt that Zhang Xin was adorable without realizing it.

She is very methodical and honest, and sometimes she is so serious that she seems old-fashioned and silly.

But if you say she is really stupid, that's not the case. She is very organized in conversations and her decisions are well-reasoned.

My emotions are still very stable and I don’t get angry easily.

But for things she doesn't like, she really won't even look at them.

He didn't go to the backyard now, and Li in the backyard became anxious. She asked her maid to intercept him at the gate of Yande Palace and complain that Zhang Xin had deducted all their monthly wages and she couldn't even afford a cup of milk.

He didn't go to see Li, but mentioned this to Zhang Xin after returning to the room.

Zhang Xin only said that Li had overstepped the boundaries, so he deducted one month's salary from her. Now, she let her maid complain, so she had to deduct another month's salary, and the maid would also be punished by being beaten with ten boards.

At that time, he asked Wanxiu to take the old woman to beat the man in front of him.

This is a normal person. At least she would pretend to be tolerant in front of her husband, but Zhang Xin would never do anything behind his back.

She said she didn't want him to go to the backyard, and she didn't even bother to be magnanimous enough to let him go and take a look.

After all, Li was the one given to her by her mother, and Zhang Xin did not give her any special treatment because of this. She should just do what she was told.

This made Zhu Gaochi feel very happy.

She doesn't want to give him to anyone else, and she doesn't even give face to her mother-in-law, which fully shows that she is cared for very much!

Great kindness!

The unique care and love he had always longed for deep down in his heart was finally realized after he got married.

The person chosen by the Emperor's grandfather was exactly what he wanted!
