Chapter 1554: Deal?
In other words, the situation is still uncertain, but this situation was also within their expectations, so Doctor Liu and others were not too disappointed.
Until this moment they had not given up on looking for another recipe. While they were thinking, they heard Manbao's low voice.
A few people came back to their senses and turned to look at Zhou Man, only to see her mumbling to the palace maid, "...Don't make tea, just boil water and help me get more rice."
Xiao Yuanzheng and others: ...
The palace maid had also been to the side hall of the East Palace for acupuncture and had a good impression of Zhou Man, so she pricked up her ears and listened carefully. After taking note, she bowed and left.
As soon as she left, Manbao slumped in the chair, touching his belly and sighing.
She sighed, feeling that the hall was too quiet, so she looked up at Xiao Yuanzheng and the others, and saw that the four of them were also looking at her.
Manbao winked at them and asked, "What's wrong?"
The four of them looked away together without speaking to her.
Manbao didn't mind and continued to sit in the chair to rest. From morning till now, the whole day had passed. Not only her body had to rest, but her brain also had to rest. She was very tired.
She looked at Xiao Yuanzheng and others who were still discussing not far away, and thought to herself: Adults are adults. It’s great that they are not tired or hungry after a busy day.
You know, she even ate a plate of snacks. I heard that at noon, Dean Xiao and Doctor Lu were taking care of His Majesty, and he didn't drink a sip of water, let alone eat.
Manbao thinks they are really amazing.
As expected, being the chief officer is not something that ordinary people can do. Not only does one need to be knowledgeable, but one also has to endure things that ordinary people cannot endure, such as going hungry.
At this moment, Manbao was so hungry that he felt a little dizzy. It was strange. Why didn’t he feel dizzy when he was treating His Majesty just now?
In order to avoid fainting from hunger and making a fool of himself, Manbao decided to find something to do.
Her eyes fell on the medical books not far away, and she stood up and walked over to look through them.
This afternoon, she was so focused on studying the prescription with Teacher Mo in the teaching room that she hadn't had time to see what Bai Shan brought her.
Manbao flipped through all the books and when she came to her notes, she saw a piece of paper clipped inside.
Manbao took it out and opened it. It said, "If you win, I'll take you to Liu Huan's manor to pick melons after your vacation."
Manbao's eyes lit up and he put the paper away as evidence.
Manbao didn't feel very hungry anymore, and began to wonder if he should try a different acupuncture method for the emperor that night...
Or think about the other Chinese herbal powder given by Teacher Mo?
But that was difficult. She didn't know what nitrate was, so she would have to ask Teacher Mo later.
Time passed quickly as he was thinking about things, and Manbao felt that the palace maid brought the food box very quickly.
Xiao Yuanzheng and others who had been discussing in low voices also sat down at the table. Manbao pushed the pile of books on the table to make room for them.
Seeing her so casual, Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't help but look at the documents piled on the table and asked, "Did you bring all this?"
Manbao nodded and asked, "Do you want to see it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Dean Xiao, but also Doctor Liu and others extended their hands.
Manbao had pulled the chair back to make it easier for the palace maids to bring out the food.
Each person had a lunch box, and each box contained a portion of food. Manbao felt instantly better when he saw that the portion he took out not only had more rice than others, but also more dishes.
Manbao picked up her chopsticks and looked at Xiao Yuanzheng and the others. They were each reading a book. When Xiao Yuanzheng saw her looking at him, he was puzzled for a moment, but when he saw the chopsticks in her hand, he smiled and said, "You eat first. We are not very hungry yet."
Manbao was envious, and then he didn't hesitate to eat first.
After she finished her bowl of rice, she finally felt better in her stomach. Only then did she have time to look at Xiao Yuanzheng and the other two. She saw them reading while eating with chopsticks in one hand. She said, "My husband said it's not good to read while eating."
Xiao Yuanzheng and the other three: ...They are the imperial physicians themselves, do they still need your advice, sir?
Xiao Yuanzheng put down the booklet in his hand and asked, "I see there are many medical prescriptions in this booklet that I have never seen before. What are these prescriptions?"
"They are all from my family's medical books. I have thought about them and verified them before writing them down."
Man Baoquan considers everything brought out from the encyclopedia to be his own. The encyclopedia had a very good publicity one year. The encyclopedia is everyone's home, and it is up to everyone to protect the books.
Doctor Liu and his companions only managed to find the medical books in the library, but were unable to snatch Manbao's information and notes. The three looked at Xiao Yuanzheng with envy, then put down their books and began to eat. While eating, they asked Manbao, "Have you seen any good prescriptions in these books?"
Manbao shook his head, "There's no decoction."
Xiao Yuanzheng fell into deep thought and said, "If your plaster is truly useful, it can not only be used in conjunction with the decoction to speed up its efficacy, but it can also stand on its own."
When Xiao Yuanzheng said this, Doctor Liu and the other two looked at Manbao with amazement and were speechless for a moment.
Manbao was still eating, unaware of what this meant. He simply asked, "If this branch is added to the Imperial Medical Bureau, shouldn't it be incorporated into the Department of Pharmacy?"
Dean Xiao was lost in thought. "If this is pharmacy, then it should be studied together with the preparation of medicinal materials. However, we know very little about this plaster. We only have this one recipe..."
Manbao immediately said: "I have a recipe, but I don't have time."
Man Bao's sparkling eyes met Xiao Yuanzheng's, and after a moment of intense gaze, Man Bao said, "I have two disciples, Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao. They both started out as students and are very familiar with medicinal herbs. If a pharmacy school were to open, I think they would be perfect candidates to study there."
Manbao's desk was right across from Xiao Yuanzheng. One day, she happened to glance at it and saw the enrollment requirements they had formulated privately. She estimated that the Imperial Medical Bureau would not be able to recruit students until the end of the year or even next year.
By then, their age will not be suitable.
In the past, Manbao didn't think there was anything good about working in the Imperial Hospital. But after seeing the medical records and prescriptions in the Imperial Hospital, as well as the medical classics in the library that would take her many years to read, Manbao knew that there was a difference between the Imperial Hospital and the pharmacies outside.
Although she had only been in the palace for two months, her medical skills had improved a lot. Especially since the people sitting opposite her and on her left and right every morning were senior doctors from the Imperial Hospital. Although their medical knowledge was not as good as Teacher Mo's, their experience was far superior to his.
Sometimes Manbao doesn’t even ask a single question, and feels benefited greatly just by listening to their discussion.
So she felt that she had to send her apprentice to the Imperial Medical Bureau. Didn’t Old Madam Liu say that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run?
Teachers are like parents to them, so she is just like their parents.
Manbao thought so sweetly, then took a bite of meat with a good appetite, then looked up and continued to look at Xiao Yuanzheng with bright eyes.
The next update will be around 8pm
Announcement: Dear book friends, I am very happy that you can support genuine reading. So, let’s discuss one thing: don’t give me large rewards in the future, because I suddenly realized today that I haven’t received much of your kindness.
So isn’t it better to save the money to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks?
If you really can't restrain your love for me and Manbao's great power, then give me a dollar as a reward and save some money for yourself, okay?
As for adding chapters, don't worry, I still have monthly tickets. Use them to reward me. Currently, I owe you monthly tickets for additional chapters... Let me count on my fingers. Hmm, it seems to be sixty-four chapters...
So what are you afraid of? There is no limit to the amount of rewards. If the rewards are full, I will add all the rewards of one dollar if I am free and happy. If I add one hundred dollars, I will give you one more chapter. In short, please stop giving large rewards.
My heart aches when I see you, so much so that I can't breathe
