Chapter 382 Epilogue (3)
Once Gong Yuanzheng sets his mind to doing something, there is nothing he cannot do.
Just look at the lifelike Fat Cat Lanterns hanging on the ceiling of the tea room, and then look at the knitting, sweaters and trousers he made for Zhang Xueming, as well as the small felt animal pendants he made.
When he uses his paranoia in the right place, it is so effective even in areas he is not good at, let alone in areas he is good at.
Moreover, Gong Yuanzheng is no longer the young palace master who liked to fight alone. He now has a lot of people under his command who can be used.
The journey to the north that belonged only to Gong Yuanzheng and Zhang Xueming before their marriage gently soothed the young man's heartache.
After getting married, he took the initiative to ask to work in the research department of Changling Medical College. In less than a year, with his medical attainments and the management knowledge he learned from Zhang Xueming, he easily turned the entire medical college into his territory.
Half of the apprentices brought by the former Elder Yue came to Changling City, and the members of the two research groups of the medical clinic also came here with their families to settle down.
These people have passed the assessment and entered medical school to study, teach, or conduct research.
At this time, Gong Yuanzheng ordered to compile a medical book.
He took out the outline, divided the subjects, and at a command, a group of people began to collect information for him, check medical records... they were very busy.
……
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, three months before Li Gong Shangjiao officially married Wen Yuqing, the eldest daughter of the Wen family in Qiangui City, the "Zhaoyuan Medical Classics" consisting of thirty volumes and eleven categories was finalized, printed, and put on the shelves in bookstores, entering the world's field of vision.
With the guidance and supervision of Zhang Xueming, the master of medicine and poison, who also personally wrote the two volumes of "Qianjinke" and "Smallpox", and with the official endorsement of Changling Medical College, this medical book attracted the attention of the medical community in the North as soon as it was released.
Attention, shock, praise...
Thanks to the Zhang family's strong support for the improvement of papermaking and printing technology, the influence of "Zhaoyuan Medical Classic" spread from the northern border, which already had 22 cities, to the southern border, which had only six cities left.
……
When the sample book was delivered to Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng, Gong Shangjiao was also there.
He came in person to deliver wedding invitations to his younger brother and sister, just in time for the occasion.
The thirty thread-bound books piled up were nearly one person tall. On the cover of each book, the four large characters "Zhao Yuan Medical Classics" were printed in eye-catching style on the left side, and in the lower right corner were the two names "Zhang Xueming" and "Gong Yuanzheng" listed side by side.
Gently stroking the two names side by side on the cover with his fingertips, Gong Shangjiao smiled with satisfaction and pride: "You don't keep your own brush, but spread the method of curing diseases and saving lives throughout the world. Such actions have immeasurable merits. I wonder who in the world dares to speak recklessly!"
What war demons, what little poisonous creatures, get out of here!
Zhang Xueming's mind raced, he turned around and looked at Gong Yuanzheng, his smile also showed a sense of pride.
So that's it. Zhang Xueming lowered her eyes and smiled, picking up the pot to add tea for the two of them. The steam curled up and moistened her eyes.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult for generals to have nice nicknames.
Her nickname was coined in the barbarian language by the barbarians who were frightened by her killing spree on the battlefield.
Among the soldiers who followed her in the charge, there were some who could speak the barbarian language a little bit. They went back and told their comrades about it. Somehow, the whole army knew about it, and then the people of Changling City and the people of the northern border...
The Zhang family didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Their nicknames weren't that great either. They actually envied her name of "War Demon" because it was so majestic and intimidating.
Zhang Xueming raised the teacup in his hand towards Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao to show that he accepted the kindness.
She would never tell the two brothers that the "war ghost" mentioned by the elderly people in Changling City was her father Zhang Wenling, and the "mad dog" was her grandfather, the Third Old Master.
……
On October 18th, Gong Shangjiao got married.
Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng went to Chenxi Sect.
The place was built like a sect of Taoist monks in movies and TV dramas, with the flying eaves and corners faintly visible in the clouds and mist.
Compared with the dark, heavy, depressing underworld style of the previous palace gate, the current fairy-tale style is certainly more in line with Zhang Xueming's aesthetic.
The house is spacious and bright. Once the windows are opened, you can take in the beautiful mountain scenery, which is refreshing.
Gong Shangjiao did not rename the courtyards, but simply changed "palace" to "courtyard". Regardless of the front and back mountains, all were placed in one area.
The courtyards are not far from each other, so it is not as inconvenient to visit each other as it is at the palace gate.
After Gong Shangjiao's wedding, Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng stayed in Chen Xizong for a while.
They reunited with Gong Zishang's family after a long separation. It was quite interesting for them to gather together to reminisce about the past and play with her little girl who was almost four years old.
Gong Zishang plans to travel around the northern border with Hua Gongzi first, and then consider whether to stay in Chenxi Sect or join the weapons research institute in Changling City.
After all, Zhang Xueming reminded her that the Weapons Institute had strict management and that she could only take a vacation after a project was completed. But if she didn't go, she would not be able to continue researching gunpowder-related weapons.
The iron ore and saltpeter mines in the north are controlled by the Zhang family. Saltpeter is now also listed as a controlled product. Purchases require identity registration and household registration. If the amount exceeds a certain amount, it will be investigated by the City Lord's Mansion. If it is found that someone is privately researching and manufacturing gunpowder-related weapons, there will be imprisonment.
Zhang Xueming did not try to persuade her. Everyone has their own ideas. It is up to the individual to bear the consequences of how he or she chooses to live his or her life. Others have no right to dictate.
She dragged Gong Yuanzheng to visit Gong Zishang, and went to play with Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi. She was determined not to be a light bulb in the first three days of Gong Shangjiao's marriage.
Gong Yuanzheng thought about how when he and Zhang Xueming got married, it took three days before he went to see his brother. He put the matter of his new sister-in-law behind him and followed Zhang Xueming around the mountain to look for friends to play with.
Although he was a little disappointed: Gong Shangjiao had his own family and would definitely not care about his younger brother as much as before.
But if you put yourself in his shoes, ever since he met Zhang Xueming, he can no longer pay attention to his brother's every move and obey him in everything as he used to.
The attraction of family to him is as great as that to Gong Shangjiao.
He couldn't ask Gong Shangjiao to do something that he himself couldn't do. That was unfair.
On the fourth day, the brothers and sisters-in-law met each other and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The new sister-in-law Wen Yuqing had a peaceful face, full cheeks, rosy white, and a dignified temperament. She seemed to have a good temper and spoke softly and slowly.
Gong Shangjiao's honesty towards his younger brother and sister was restrained again, and the honeycomb coal spirit reappeared.
However, his probing was always like a punch on cotton. No matter what his expression or tone was, Wen Yuqing was always smiling, with an air of "Ah, yes, yes, you are right", which made Gong Shangjiao very depressed.
Gong Yuanzheng wanted to help but didn't know how to start.
Wen Yuqing didn't respond at all, and just said, "You talk yours, I live mine." He responded to all changes with the same attitude and was polite.
