Chapter 1645 Shock
The maid and two old women just went downstairs, and they saw Zhou Man and her friends coming over laughing.
She didn't expect such a fate, and was stunned for a moment. Then the shop assistant came over faster than her, "Dear guests, do you want to eat, or..."
Zhou Lixue said, "We have booked a private room on the second floor. Let's go up there."
The waiter glanced at the large group of servants behind them, smiled and agreed, then stepped aside to let them go upstairs. However, he did not leave immediately. He still had to see which room they were in and then bring them tea.
Just as he was thinking about it, Han Wuniang's maid had already come forward to stop Zhou Man and saluted, "Little Doctor Zhou."
Manbao took a closer look and was surprised, "Hey, aren't you Xianggui?"
Xiang Gui smiled and agreed, saying, "My Third Master and his wife are also here to enjoy the lanterns. Just now, my wife said she saw the young doctor upstairs, but my Third Master said it wasn't him."
Xianggui invited Manbao to go up to the third floor and sit together.
Manbao said, "No need. Let your father and wife go and have fun by themselves. My elders are on the second floor."
Since her master had asked her to invite someone, she had to do it anyway. Xiang Gui thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Doctor Zhou, my young master is here too. You haven't seen him since the hundredth day. I wonder if he can sit up and crawl now, and even stand up by holding on to someone."
When Manbao heard this, he also wanted to see the first child born by caesarean section, so he said to her, "You go up first. I will meet the elders and then go up to the third floor to meet your wife."
Xianggui responded with a smile, and first sent Manbao and the others to the second floor, wrote down their box number before going up to the third floor.
Old Zhou was standing by the window, staring at the lights below. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen such a lively and prosperous Lantern Festival at his age, so he had been staring at it since the lights were lit.
Not only did he watch it himself, he also dragged Qian to watch it.
Of course, he was still quite reserved in front of his in-laws and Mr. Zhuang, and only lowered his voice and said to Qian: "Quick, look at that lamp, does it look like a rabbit?"
Qian turned her head and nodded with a smile, "Yes."
Old Zhoutou whispered, "I'll go down and buy you one later."
Qian smiled and did not refuse.
The two of them were talking so seriously that they didn't even notice Manbao entered the box.
When Old Lady Liu saw several people panting as they squeezed into the private room, she smiled and asked the maid to pour them tea. She asked with a smile, "How long have you been playing here?"
Manbao said: "It wasn't long before they met Lixue and the others on the road and came over."
Seeing that they were all sitting still, Manbao encouraged them, "Sir, Grandma Liu, why don't you go down and take a walk? The streets are more interesting."
The two refused, "We are old, so we don't want to join you in this fun, you guys go ahead."
Manbao invited Aunt Zheng and ran to the window to call her parents, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to help you guess the lantern riddles."
Old Zhou hesitated and asked, "Do you have a rabbit lantern?"
"Yes, but the beauty lamp looks better."
Old Zhou said, "Rabbit is pretty. Let your mother guess a rabbit lantern."
Manbao agreed with a smile and said, "Wait for me, I'll go upstairs to meet a friend and come down later."
Bai Shan poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying, "I'll go with you."
Then let everyone wait for them here.
Madam Liu asked curiously, "Why, did you run into someone you know in Yongzhou?"
Bai Shan said, "They are the Third Master and Third Lady of the Li family, Manbao's patients."
Old Zhou and the others didn't know who it was, but Old Madam Liu immediately thought of it. She smiled and nodded, saying to the two of them, "Go ahead, greet them and come back."
The two agreed and went upstairs together.
After they left, Old Lady Liu entertained Yin Huo and Liu Huan. She was also startled by the sudden appearance of these two children in Yongzhou in the afternoon.
Manbao and Baishan went up to the third floor and found Xianggui waiting for them. They followed her to the private room.
Han Wuniang hadn't seen Manbao for a long time. Shortly after the hundred days, their family returned to Yongzhou. However, the situation in Yongzhou was only lively for several months.
There was no way. She was the first person in history who survived a caesarian section to deliver a baby. Not to mention her relatives, friends, and sisters-in-law, even her mother-in-law couldn't help but look at her belly.
She originally thought that the scars left on her stomach were ugly, but now she no longer felt that way.
As soon as she saw Manbao, Han Wuniang happily took her hand and greeted her, then asked Li Sanlang to bring the child over for Manbao to see, and taught the babbling child to call her "Auntie".
With outsiders present, Li Sanlang couldn't hold the child anymore, so he turned around and handed the child to the wet nurse while he talked to Bai Shan.
Mainly curious about how they got here.
Han Wuniang, standing nearby, pulled Manbao aside to discuss the troubles of parenting. For example, the child had recently shown little interest in milk and was instead fixated on the meat on the table. "...He kept clamoring for food, but I remember you said it's best for children under a year old to avoid salt and meat, and only eat egg custard, so I haven't dared to give him any."
Manbao nodded and smiled, "The child's stomach is weak, and his internal organs are developing, so use less salt at this time. When he is young, breast milk can provide most of the nutrition. Now he can eat complementary foods."
Han Wuniang used to feed the child herself, but later he grew teeth and it hurt so much that she stopped and started feeding him by the wet nurse.
She had a lot of worries at the moment, and their box was quite large, so she simply pulled Manbao to the other side of the screen to talk in private, and finally said, "It's a pity that there is no female doctor like you in Yongzhou. I can only talk about this kind of thing with the maids around me, but they just tell me that women all have this experience, just get through it..."
Man Bao also sighed, "The Imperial Medical Bureau is about to be built. I hope to recruit a few more female disciples by then. Once they have learned their skills, they can be sent to medical bureaus in various places."
Han Wuniang's eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her voice and said, "Ms. Zhou, can you pick two people from my side to join the Imperial Medical Bureau?"
Manbao was surprised and confused, "Huh?"
Han Wuniang laughed and said, "Few girls in ordinary families can read. I'm afraid they won't take the exam. Even if they do, they'll have to learn to read from scratch, which would be a huge waste of time. But the people around us are different. They've learned some reading since childhood and are smart. They can start learning medicine as soon as they enter the hospital. Isn't that better than those selected from outside?"
Manbao became thoughtful and asked, "Is this still possible?"
"sure."
Manbao asked calmly, "But they are slaves, not good people."
Han Wuniang smiled and said, "That's not difficult at all. Just release them."
See you at 9pm
