Chapter 1283 Receiving Gifts
"But you all still carry external evil spirits with you, and each one carries a different one. If you all enter the delivery room and get close to Fifth Lady, the external evil spirits you carry will enter her body through her unhealed wounds, and she will then have a fever and contract various illnesses..."
Madam Han immediately said, "Don't worry, Madam Zhou, I won't let them in. Next time I go in, I'll have to change my clothes before I go in."
The ladies of the Li Mansion also reacted immediately and said hurriedly, "Then let's wait until Fifth Lady gets better before visiting her."
Seeing that they were finally "convinced", Manbao immediately smiled with satisfaction. She turned around happily and was about to go home when she met Minister Li and Minister Han who were standing at the gate of the courtyard with calm faces.
Manbao: ...
Manbao was invited to the study to talk.
Minister Li sat at the head of the table, leaning forward slightly. He asked, "Doctor Zhou, you just said that many soldiers on the battlefield died after being wounded because of external evil invasions?"
Manbao was a little embarrassed. After all, she had just scared their daughter and daughter-in-law. However, she quickly straightened her expression and nodded seriously, saying, "Yes, the imperial physicians must also know this. If you don't believe me, go ask Imperial Physician Tan and Imperial Physician Liu."
Minister Li pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any solution?"
Man Bao nodded and said, "Of course there are. Just like this time, we should often use Atractylodes to disinfect, wash hands frequently, use boiling water to scald and dye utensils, boil water before drinking, use clean gauze for bandaging, and keep the wound clean. Although these are just small things, they can save countless lives."
Manbao herself knew that before she learned medicine, her brothers liked to drink water directly from the water tank when they were thirsty or tired, without any fever at all.
Even Datou and the others followed suit. It took her a long time to change her behavior, but even now, Daji and the servants in the house think it is too troublesome to go to the kitchen, so they just scoop water directly from the water tank to drink, unless it is winter.
Under Keke's guidance, Manbao once scooped a spoonful of water into the system, and used the laboratory in the teaching room to look at what was in the water. He was shocked.
Then that spoonful of water was included in Keke's collection, but the points were very few.
Because Koko said that aquatic creatures can be found on several planets in its world and are not uncommon, but the encyclopedia still gave her some bonus points.
While Li Shangshu was still pondering, Han Shangshu said, "It's impossible to do the same on the battlefield. For example, the wounded soldiers have to find an open space to be laid out, without even a roof. How much Atractylodes lancea will be enough to fumigate them?"
Manbao frowned and said, "Isn't there a tent?"
"That tent isn't big enough for all the wounded soldiers."
Minister Li said, "Then let's start with the simplest things: clean gauze, boiled water, and clean hands..."
He said, "Talk to Zhenyuan when you have time."
Minister Han acquiesced.
Manbao scratched his head and asked, "Minister Li, is our Great Jin going to war?"
Minister Li finally realized what was happening and immediately smiled, "No, I just mentioned it. It's better to take precautions. Doctor Zhou, thank you so much for this. I heard that Sanlang's wife can already get out of bed and walk."
Minister Han also looked at her immediately.
Manbao said: "She can get out of bed now, but she is afraid of pain and can only move two steps. I mean, even if she has to move, she has to move two steps. This will be good for her recovery."
Minister Han never thought that his daughter could really get out of bed and walk. Last night he heard the lady say that the belly was cut open and the child was taken out directly from the belly.
He nodded blankly, not knowing whether he heard it or not.
Manbao shook his head slightly, stood up and said goodbye.
The two ministers hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.
Manbao insisted, "I've stayed here all night. I really have to go home, otherwise my family will worry."
The family wasn't really worried. Manbao happily jumped off the carriage, opened the door, rushed to the backyard, and loudly announced his return. Only Xiang Mingxue, who lived in the east wing, heard the voice, opened the window, looked over, and smiled, "You're back?"
He said, "Bai Shan and Bai Cheng haven't returned from school yet. Your fourth brother has gone out with some people. He said he's taken a job at Jishitang and is out transporting medicinal herbs. He might not be back until tomorrow. Mr. Zhuang went out to enjoy the snow with others."
So there is no one at home now, well, except Xiang Mingxue.
Manbao was a little disappointed, so he simply walked over and asked, "What about Xiang Chao?"
"He went to get something. Didn't you give me the blueprints earlier? Young Master Liu had someone make something for my rehabilitation. When Bai Shan and the others came back yesterday, they said it was ready, so he went to get it today."
Manbao was very disappointed.
The servants from the Li Mansion finally came in, carrying a lot of things in their hands. They asked, "Master Zhou, where do you think these things are?"
Manbao said, "Put it in my room."
Xiang Mingxue saw the servants carrying cloth, various gift boxes, and two pots of peonies. Curious, he asked after they left, "I understand sending cloth and gift boxes, but why are they sending peonies at this time?"
Manbao sighed and said, "I don't know who started this rumor, but people say I like exotic flowers and that peonies are flowers of wealth and honor. Madam Han thought I would like them, so she picked out two of the best pots from their flower room and gave them to me."
She said, "I firmly refused, but she insisted on giving it to me. I had no choice. It wasn't nice to push it back and forth, so I had to accept it."
God knows she really wanted to refuse.
Who has as many beautiful peonies as she has in her hands?
Xiang Mingxue smiled, and like Madam Han, he just thought she was being polite.
Manbao sighed deeply when he saw this. Why is it that no one believes the truth when he tells it?
Seeing her like this, Xiang Mingxue believed her a little and asked curiously, "Don't you like flowers and plants? Why don't you like peonies?"
"Yes, but I already have peonies. I just want to collect flowers and plants I haven't seen before."
Xiang Mingxue hadn't expected her to have so many problems. He smiled and said, "That's difficult. Who can know what flowers and plants you have seen and what flowers and plants you haven't seen?"
He said, "It's better to accept whatever others give you. When the word gets out, people will know that you really like flowers and plants, and they will give you something like this next time."
Manbao thought about it for a moment and thought his idea was good, so he gave him a thumbs up.
The Li family sent many things to Manbao, but these were not sent by Li Shangshu's family, but by Li Sanlang.
Manbao picked and chose and put the cloth aside, intending to wait for Zhou Lijun to come back and put it away for her. The cloth she received was usually put away for her.
I also put the jewelry aside, planning to put it into the system after Zhou Lijun has selected it, so that I can give it to my mother and sister-in-law when I get home.
He took a look at the box of silver that was sent to him and put it into the system, then made a note of it in his small notebook.
As for the peony flowers that were sent to him, Manbao took a look at them and then took them to the study, intending to give them to the master when he came back.
It is really hard to take care of peonies in the winter, so she should not bother with it.
Well, Aunt Zheng also likes flowers. I can send her a pot tomorrow so that my husband won’t have to work so hard.
See you tomorrow
