Episode 24 recap: Lu Bu Ping and Pei Lan found happiness together. Chun Ban Xia's medical skills were highly sought after and he was offered a high salary.
Pei Lan was busy in the kitchen when Lu Bu Ping came to help. Despite Pei Lan's objections, Lu Bu Ping volunteered to pick vegetables. However, he ended up picking more than half of the bundle of greens because he heard Pei Lan say that only the tender ones were needed. Pei Lan had to redo the work. When Pei Lan mentioned that the radishes should be diced, Lu Bu Ping cut all the radish pieces into the shape of the Chinese character "丁" (ding). Pei Lan couldn't help but admire Lu Bu Ping's talent.
Lu Bu Ping couldn't sit still and went to knead dough. If there was too much water, he added more flour, and if there was too much dough, he added more water. As a result, everyone saw a large box of mountain-shaped steamed buns on the dinner table in the evening. Lu Bu Ping received a letter from home and his expression became serious. It turned out that Lu Jiang suddenly fell ill. Lu Bu Ping wanted to go home to visit, and the Chun family members busily prepared his luggage. Guo Zhen Sheng prescribed medicine for Lu Jiang and also gave him an expensive hundred-year-old ginseng.
Pei Lan repeatedly reminded Lu Bu Ping, and Du Ru Yu knew that she was worried, so she gave Pei Lan some money to accompany Lu Bu Ping back home to take care of Lu Jiang. After Pei Lan left, all the household chores fell on Du Ru Yu. While she was doing laundry, she suddenly felt pain in her waist.
However, after this incident, Ke Ling seemed to have matured a lot. She took the initiative to help Du Ru Yu with the laundry. When someone knocked on the door, Du Ru Yu and Ke Ling opened it together, and it turned out to be Si Huang Zi. Ke Ling had a serious conversation with Si Huang Zi. Although everyone now accepted their relationship, they were still young and needed to seriously consider their relationship because it involved not only the two of them but also two families and even more people.
Si Huang Zi agreed to give each other more time, and they agreed to meet again in the future. A man with a cervical spine problem came to the pharmacy for treatment. Guo Zhen Sheng wanted to administer acupuncture but his arm went numb. In the end, Ban Xia cured the person. Subsequently, Ban Xia's medical skills became well-known in the street. Wu, the shopkeeper of Bao He Tang, came to the pharmacy again, this time offering a high salary to hire Ban Xia to practice medicine at his place.
Ban Xia naturally wanted to go to the prestigious medical institution to learn their medical skills, but he was worried about Guo Zhen Sheng and his family.
Guo Zhen Sheng told Ban Xia that he planned to close the pharmacy and travel around with Du Ru Yu. He wanted her to feel at ease working at Bao He Tang. Ban Xia was delighted and determined not to let Guo Zhen Sheng and his family lose face. After hearing this, Guo Zhen Sheng burst into tears, feeling a mix of emotions. Du Ru Yu joked about him crying like a ghost, but deep down she understood Guo Zhen Sheng's feelings.
When Ban Xia was not at home, Du Ru Yu suddenly felt pain in her waist while doing household chores. Guo Zhen Sheng hurriedly helped her sit down. Du Ru Yu needed acupuncture, and Guo Zhen Sheng's heart was racing as he approached her closely. When he saw Du Ru Yu unbuttoning her clothes, revealing her waist for the treatment, Guo Zhen Sheng's hands were trembling even more.
After he nervously finished the acupuncture, Du Ru Yu noticed that his face had turned as red as a cloth. With the children not at home, Du Ru Yu and Guo Zhen Sheng had a simple meal of pickles and steamed buns. They talked about Pei Lan and wondered about Lu Bu Ping's condition. Just then, Pei Lan returned, and both Du Ru Yu and Guo Zhen Sheng were pleasantly surprised. They were relieved to hear that Lu Jiang's condition had improved. Pei Lan felt a pang of sadness seeing that they ate without her, but she quickly prepared two dishes and brought them out. During the meal, Pei Lan told her mother about Lu Jiang's desire to hold a wedding for her and Lu Bu Ping while he was still in good health. Pei Lan mentioned that the Lu family would come to propose at the beginning of the month, which made Du Ru Yu and Guo Zhen Sheng very happy.
It was the first time for Chun Ban Xia to marry off a daughter, and everyone made great efforts to prepare the dowry for Pei Lan. Pei Lan was grateful to her mother for raising her so well. In the evening, the four sisters lay together and slept like they did in their childhood. The auspicious day arrived, and all relatives and friends came to congratulate. Shi Zi even brought gifts from the Gueer Kingdom on behalf of Li Teng Yun. Their happy occasion was clearly approaching.
Shen Wang Yan's family had finally cleared their grievances, and he had returned to his position in the Hanlin Academy. He was truly a respected figure now. Ban Xia couldn't help but feel both shy and happy when she saw him. Guo Zhen Sheng planned to reopen the pharmacy because Ke Ling had been studying medicine with him and was now learning to practice medicine properly. Yao Wen and Yao Wu naturally followed their eldest sister's footsteps and became Guo Zhen Sheng's two disciples.
Pei Lan's departure from her family home was grand and romantic, bringing joy to the whole family. Finally, they specially invited an artist to paint a family portrait for them. (End of the drama)
