Chapter 1489: You Are Still Here (Additional Chapter 1 for Doctors)
Shopkeeper Zheng's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, saying, "I almost forgot about this. Doctor Zhou asked you to tell me that she has a lot of medicinal herbs growing at home?"
Zheng Gu nodded blankly, "Yes, didn't you know that her family sells medicinal herbs? Last time, Zhou Silang even gave you a bag of yam slices prepared with a new method."
Zheng Da, the shopkeeper, started to think about it. "Oh, right, we have to find Zhou Silang. He's in charge of their medicine business. Forget it, you don't have to go. You're her apprentice, just be a good one. Don't get involved in these things. Xiao Shao... Xiao Shao, don't go either. Xiao Ding, go find Zhou Silang at the Zhouji Restaurant in the outer city and tell him I'm treating him to dinner and drinks tonight."
Manbao jumped off the carriage and ran to the yard. Fang and Lu were sitting under the porch making clothes. Three children were playing on mats spread out in the yard. Zheng was playing with them with a rattle in her hand.
Seeing Manbao running in, Zheng withdrew her hand a little embarrassedly, as if she was embarrassed to play with the rattle at her age.
"Aunt Zheng," Manbao called out to Mrs. Zheng, and then went to find Mrs. Fang, "Fourth sister-in-law, where is my fourth brother?"
Fang was stunned for a moment before she said, "He took some people out to look at porcelain. He said he wanted to go to Shangzhou and bring some back. He heard that Shangzhou's porcelain is very beautiful, so he wanted to see how the porcelain in the capital is selling first..."
Fang looked up at the sun in the sky, estimated the time and said, "Should they be at the restaurant now?"
Zheng gave the rattle to Batou, stood up and said with a smile, "If you want to find your fourth brother, just ask the servants to call him."
Manbao nodded, "Okay, I'll ask them to call someone."
She ran out to give instructions, then turned around and ran back to the study to find Mr. Zhuang.
Seeing her so impatient, Fang smiled awkwardly at Zheng and said, "I don't know what's causing this child such a rush."
Zheng smiled. She was used to it. It would be strange if these three children were not in a hurry to do things one day.
Manbao ran to Mr. Zhuang to ask for advice. She felt that this matter was too big, and its importance was no less than when she found out that her father was not her father and her biological parents were murdered, and she had to avenge her biological parents.
Manbao touched his chest and said, "Sir, my heart is beating so fast right now. I feel like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has dug a huge, deep pit for me, and the pit is filled with my favorite braised pork and braised pig's trotters..."
Not to mention it was slow, even Mr. Zhuang seemed a little dazed.
It took him a while to find his voice. "So, you want to join the Chongwenguan to compile medical books?"
Manbao nodded.
Mr. Zhuang looked at his disciple as if in a dream.
After a while, he reached out and patted her head gently, chuckling softly, but there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
The more Mr. Zhuang laughed, the happier he felt. Finally, he couldn't help but burst out laughing towards the sky.
Manbao: ...
She looked at Mr. Zhuang with a puzzled expression and felt even more scared.
Mr. Zhuang stopped with tears in his eyes, his heart surging like waves, and after a while he finally found his voice, "Child, do you know what this means?"
It means she can read more books and copy more books...
Mr. Zhuang was almost in tears. He grabbed Manbao's hand and said, "This means you are a Hanlin scholar. You will go down in history. Silly boy, this is about editing books, editing books..."
Manbao stared at Mr. Zhuang blankly, not quite understanding.
It’s just writing a book. Didn’t Bai Er write it a long time ago?
If she had been busy, she could have written it.
Mr. Zhuang was excited for a while, but when he saw that the child had a dazed look on his face and obviously didn't understand,
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but pause, then shook his head and laughed, "I'm already old, but I still attach so much importance to gains and losses. It's really not right, it's not right. But you, on the other hand, are not easily surprised by praise or criticism."
Manbao said anxiously, "Sir, I'm already shocked. I'm afraid this is a trap."
Mr. Zhuang laughed and said, "Didn't the prince say that you only edit medical books?"
Manbao recalled for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I can still teach my disciples in the afternoon."
"That's it," Mr. Zhuang said with a distant gaze, "You compile medical books, you don't get involved in government affairs. You're dedicated to healing and saving lives, so there's nothing wrong with that."
He withdrew his gaze and fell on Manbao, saying: "You just need to remember as usual, listen more and talk less after entering the palace, and don't interfere in internal affairs, that's enough."
As for the question of standing on the right side, Mr. Zhuang has already given up. Judging from her behavior in the past six months, Mr. Zhuang himself is a little skeptical about whether she is on the prince's side, let alone someone from outside.
So forget it.
Fortunately, she is a doctor. No matter who ascends the throne in the future, as long as she does not propose to open the emperor's head like Hua Tuo, he should be able to survive.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhuang continued, "Don't neglect your studies and medical skills after entering the palace, especially your medical skills. If there are any difficult diseases in the capital, you can ask His Highness to come out and take a look."
He said, "The more famous you are, the better your life will be in the future."
Manbao listened to Mr. Zhuang's earnest teachings and couldn't help but say, "What about Bai Shan? He also wants to enter Chongwenguan."
Mr. Zhuang shook his head and smiled, "I don't need to worry about him. He will do well."
Unlike Manbao, Bai Shanjin still studied in Chongwenguan, but he had an additional responsibility, which was to accompany the prince in his studies.
But the prince is so old now, he obviously doesn't need a study companion.
Therefore, after Bai Shan and his classmates entered the academy, they would most likely continue to attend classes and study, just like they did in the Imperial Academy.
But she couldn't go home freely like she does now. Instead, she had to live in Chongwenguan and could only leave the palace during her rest period.
As for the prince's bad behavior, when the emperor asks about the guilt, it is estimated that those who are older than them and about the same age as the prince will be questioned. Bai Shan and others can only apologize together, which is not a big problem.
There's nothing you can do about it, this is the only advantage of being young.
Mr. Zhuang comforted Manbao for a while. Manbao always felt better after falling into a pit. As her mood gradually calmed down, she began to feel that time passed slowly. "Why haven't Bai Shan and the others come back yet?"
Mr. Zhuang glanced at the dripping water beside him and said with a smile, "He should be back soon. If you're in a hurry, just wait at the door."
Manbao immediately stood up and ran, "Then I'll go wait in front."
Mr. Zhuang: ...He just said that, can't you just listen to it?
Manbao ran to the side door where carriages often came in and out, and just saw Bai Shan and his party's carriage coming in. She immediately rushed forward, and saw that there was another carriage behind it. The curtain was lifted, and Lord Yang got out of the carriage.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang jumped out of the car. Before Bai Shan could say anything, Bai Erlang rushed over and said, "Manbao, guess what?"
The words that Manbao wanted to say were replaced by, "What's the matter?"
Bai Erlang's eyes narrowed with joy. "Bai Shan and I are going to the Chongwen Hall to be the prince's study companions!"
Manbao: "...You are here?"
I promised to give extra chapters to the doctor "Si Qinglan Yu", but I think it should be for all the doctors. Thank you for your hard work in the past few months.
Well, I have another chapter that I promised them tomorrow. See you tomorrow.
