Chapter 1044 Experiment
As Manbao and Doctor Zheng left, Duke Pi came forward with a smile. He nodded to Doctor Zheng and greeted him politely before turning to Manbao. "This must be Doctor Zhou, right? He's truly a promising young man. I wonder who his teacher is?"
Manbao said, "My teacher's last name is Zhuang."
Duke Pi glanced at Doctor Zheng and, seeing he showed no reaction, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "A good teacher produces a good student."
Doctor Zheng knew that Manbao had a teacher named Zhuang, but that teacher was not the one who taught her medicine, but the one who taught her to read and write.
Manbao and Baishan nodded in agreement, believing that their teacher was worthy of being a famous teacher and they were also worthy of being outstanding students.
What Duke Pi was more concerned about was when his youngest son would wake up.
Manbao said, "Let's wait until noon. He has a low fever now, but he's getting better."
Madam Su said anxiously, "Since he has a fever, isn't that a bad thing?"
"It's not a bad thing. It's not a high fever. It's okay. Just give him plenty of water and keep an eye on his temperature." Manbao said, "If he wakes up at noon, we can then examine him and make sure there's nothing else wrong. It's just the wound."
Doctor Zheng nodded in agreement, which was also the opinion of him and his colleagues.
The next step was to wait for the person to wake up, boil some medicine, and the servant carefully fed him half a bowl of medicine before stopping.
Manbao took over the guarding from Doctor Zheng and let him go to sleep.
The other two imperial doctors were tired and frightened after a whole day and night, and they did not sleep well last night. When they woke up and saw Manbao there, they turned around and fell into deep sleep again.
Of course, Manbao would not stay in the room all the time. There were two servants in the room. She just needed to come in and take a look from time to time.
So she sat in the yard and talked to people.
The main reason was that Old Madam Su and the Third Madam were also worried about Su Jian, so they sat in the yard to watch over him. Since they were all watching over him, they naturally had to talk.
They were especially curious about Manbao, and Baishan also stayed here.
But he was still young and good-looking, so Old Madam Su liked him very much and did not let him go to the front hall to be with her old man.
The four of them sat on the stone bench under the tree in the yard and talked.
The Third Wife handed her son to a servant and told him to go play with her. Manbao took a look at the child and asked, "How old is he? Is he two years old?"
The Third Madam smiled and said, "He's two years old in lunar age, and just learned to walk. He's very naughty. There was a commotion in the house yesterday, and he got scared, so he's been clinging to me a little bit today."
Manbao nodded and commented, "He looks a lot like the young master."
Madam Su was also happy when she heard this. "Even their tempers are the same. They are so opinionated at such a young age."
Madam Su paused and asked worriedly, "Doctor Zhou, if my son recovers, will there be any sequelae?"
Manbao said, "I'm not sure yet. His leg is broken. We have to wait until the wound on his stomach is almost healed before reattaching it. We don't know how badly it's broken yet, and I don't know if he'll be lame after it's reattached."
The Third Wife was stunned and asked, "Why didn't Doctor Zheng and the others tell us?"
Manbao said: "Compared to legs, life is naturally more important."
Yesterday, I wasn't even sure if I could save my life, so who would have the time to worry about my legs?
Madam Su also reacted and said quickly: "It's great that he can save his life. I just don't know if it will affect his lifespan in the future."
Manbao thought about it carefully. The spleen can regenerate. Yesterday, she hadn't just sewed it up; she had also removed a lot of broken pieces from it. This had some impact, but the biggest impact was...
Manbao coughed lightly and told them the situation. "I noticed that the young master's pulse is a little weak. Of course, this is related to his injury, but I think his foundation is also a little weak, which will have a great impact on his lifespan. If the old lady wants him to be healthier and live longer, then I suggest that he practice abstinence and not indulge too much."
Old Madam Su's face froze, and Third Madam's eyes were filled with tears.
Bai Shan, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but cough lightly, poured her a cup of tea, and whispered, "Have a sip of tea."
Manbao picked up the tea and drank it, but his big eyes were still blinking as he looked at the opposite side.
Madam Su nodded slowly and said, "When he gets better, I will definitely teach him."
Manbao nodded.
The Third Wife quickly changed the subject, "Doctor Zhou, based on what you said yesterday, that blood test is completely invalid."
Manbao immediately put down his teacup and said, "Yes, but I'm still a little curious. I wonder if human blood can be mixed with chicken blood, sheep blood, or cow blood."
Old Madam Su and the Third Wife: ...This is a bit scary.
But they were also a little curious, "So, can we tell if we drop the blood into the water?"
"Yeah, but unfortunately I don't have time right now and can't go to the market to find fresh blood."
Madam Su thought for a moment, then turned to the nanny and said, "Go ask the kitchen to kill a chicken, take some fresh blood, drip it into a basin and bring it over. There's also sheep's blood. Hmm, go out and look for a cow somewhere and buy one."
Manbao and Baishan stared at it in amazement. They only came to their senses after the nanny took the order and left. They looked at Madam Su together and asked, "Isn't it forbidden to kill cows casually?"
Madam Su smiled and said, "Of course, the ones we want to kill are old cows, sick cows, and the like."
Manbao and Baishan were skeptical because even in their family, they would not eat sick beef.
The Bai family could occasionally buy some old cow meat, but they didn't get much. Most of the time, they had to kill the old cows on their own farm.
The most common meats they eat are mutton and pork.
Two basins of water were quickly brought over, and the drop of blood inside was slowly spreading. Manbao immediately took out a short needle from his backpack, glanced at the crowd, and asked, "Who did you stab?"
No one spoke.
Madam Su put down her teacup, which made a crisp sound when it touched the stone table. A maid came forward with trembling hands, "Doctor Zhou, give me a shot."
Manbao looked up and smiled at her, holding her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt much."
After saying that, he pricked her fingertip lightly. She felt a stinging sensation for a moment, and then the pain went away, just like when she was pricked by her own needle while doing needlework.
Manbao waited for a while, and only when it started to bleed did he squeeze out a drop of blood, and then squeezed out another drop of blood, which dripped into two basins respectively.
Manbao took out a bottle of ointment and rubbed her fingertips with it, then asked her to cover them with a clean handkerchief.
Seeing this, Madam Su smiled slightly and said, "She is quite a brave child. Come, give her a silver ingot as a reward. Then we can move her to second-class rank and put her in the house."
The girl's eyes lit up and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude.
Manbao glanced at Madam Su, and seeing her talking with a smile, he reached out and pulled her up, then went to look at the two basins.
Good night
