Chapter 1749 Course
Manbao carried the bag and sent Zhou Liru to her dormitory. The environment here was not as good as the Imperial College next door. Ten people lived in one room with five small beds side by side. There were only two tables by the window.
Zhou Liru occupied a good position, on the first bed on the left after entering the room. There were ten people in the same dormitory, but only her bed had a small shelf for storing things.
Zhou Liru placed the book on the table, opened the bundle, and took out clothes from it to show Manbao, "Look, little aunt, this set is winter clothes, and this one is a little lighter. Dean Xiao said that no matter what you wear inside, you must wear school clothes outside. In terms of etiquette, we can't be worse than the Imperial College next door."
Manbao nodded, reached out and touched it, and said, "I didn't expect Lord Yang to be so generous as to provide you with such good winter clothes."
"We think it's good too." Zhou Liru boasted quietly, "As soon as school started the day before yesterday, grandpa and grandma sent me here early to register, so I was able to grab such a good bed. The rest were just leftovers from me."
Just as he finished speaking, someone pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Zhou Man, the person was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down what he was holding, knelt down and kowtowed to Man Bao, "Greetings, sir."
Manbao was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward to hold her, looked at her and asked with a smile, "I remember you, your name is Su Ye?"
Su Ye nodded vigorously, "Sir, I have always remembered the name you gave me, but you can also call me Daya."
Sanya Zhou Liru: ...
Manbao: "...I'd better call you Su Ye."
She bent down to pick up the things from the ground for her. Su Ye didn't dare to ask her for help, so she quickly took it with a smile and put the things directly next to Li Ru.
"Sir, I heard that you will be the one to teach all our classes from now on?"
"No," Manbao said, "I only teach the Pulse Secrets to three classes. I don't teach your class, but I do teach Li Ru's class."
Originally, she only wanted to teach two classes, one in the acupuncture school, and the other was a private class designated by each family to be taught by her.
But after everyone in the Imperial Hospital discussed it, they found that the people who passed the exam had different levels of knowledge, and some of them didn't even need to learn pulse diagnosis again.
For example, Zheng Gu and Dr. Liu have already read the four most basic medical books, but Zheng Shao is a little behind.
They occupied the quota for acupuncture because they were not old enough, but after the new year they can pass the examination of the department and be transferred to the physical therapy department.
There is no need to start from scratch after entering the physical therapy department. You can spend three or four months to understand the situation, and then rearrange these students according to their abilities in the spring of next year.
The courses that need to be taught at that time will be different. Dean Xiao is considering Zhou Man's ability, so he insists that she also teach a class on "Pulse Secrets" in the physical therapy department.
Manbao had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, there were not many courses at the beginning, and Dean Xiao also selected a young man who had just joined the Imperial Hospital to be her assistant.
So it’s not particularly busy.
After all, Zhou Liru had learned medical skills in advance, recognized a lot of medicinal herbs, and was literate, so she was one of the first girls to be admitted to the physical therapy department.
Apart from her and a few female students, the remaining 23 places in the physical therapy department were all taken by palace maids.
They could read and knew some medical knowledge, so they barely passed the exam.
Dean Xiao always pursued convenience in his work, so in order to facilitate management, he simply randomly divided the thirty girls in the physical therapy department into five classes. Zhou Liru and the dormitory supervisor of the other five girls were in the same class with the four girls from the acupuncture department.
Anyway, Manbao himself doesn’t know how to divide it.
Su Ye dragged out a box from under her bed, felt around inside, and took out a package and gave it to Manbao.
Manbao asked, "What is this?"
"Jerky," Su Ye said, "My mother made it specially for you to bring to me, sir."
She said, "Although the teacher doesn't teach our class, it was the teacher who gave the order that the office agreed to take me. My mother said, 'Sir, you will be my mother from now on.' We even dried some bacon at home for you. I'll bring it to you next time."
Manbao: "...Thank you, but no thanks."
"Yes, yes," Su Ye stuffed it into Man Bao's hands and said seriously, "You are my second parents, how can I not want it?"
Manbao: ...
Zhou Liru: ...
While they were arguing, the other people in the dormitory came back. When they saw Manbao, they all put down what they were holding and saluted.
There was no way around it. Manbao had personally interviewed almost all the girls admitted to the Imperial Medical Bureau. There was a female imperial physician among a row of male physicians, and she looked to be the same age as them. How could she not attract attention?
So everyone remembered Manbao.
Seeing that there were many people around, Manbao immediately took the opportunity to go out and asked them to pack up quickly and go to class.
Manbao ran back to the office and breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor Liu and the others were sitting in chairs drinking tea. When they saw her running in from outside, they asked with a smile, "What happened?"
Manbao exhaled and said, "Didn't they say class was about to start? It's almost time now, why isn't class starting yet?"
Doctor Liu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Dean Xiao was late talking this morning and had to distribute books, so he was late."
He smiled and said, "It's late, so what? It's the same if we wait until everyone has had lunch and taken a nap before going to class again."
Manbao: "...Is it so casual? I signed up the day before yesterday, why haven't you given me the books yet?"
Doctor Liu said, "Originally it was supposed to be issued yesterday, but there was some commotion in the palace yesterday. The East Palace summoned all the palace maids and eunuchs, and everything leaving the palace had to be thoroughly inspected."
"The remaining batch of books we had in the Shangshu Bureau was impounded. Lord Yang personally came out yesterday evening to bring them out, so we were late."
Manbao didn't say anything else.
Doctor Liu looked at Zhou Man's expression, thought for a while, and finally didn't ask her what happened in the Eastern Palace.
He only vaguely heard in the Imperial Hospital that a palace maid seemed to have committed suicide.
But I don't know why exactly.
It’s hard to get news from the palace now.
It is difficult for people like Liu Taiyi who need to go in and out of the palace every day and come into contact with people in the palace to get news, let alone people outside.
The news in the palace was suddenly disconnected from the outside world. They only had time to hear the news that "a palace maid committed suicide". The rest was that each palace began to screen and many eunuchs and palace maids were taken away for investigation.
So it became quiet outside the palace, and even the court officials pretended not to know about this. They went to court to discuss matters as they were supposed to, and handled official documents as they were supposed to, as if they knew nothing about the actions in the palace.
But because many people were taken away for investigation, not to mention that many channels were cut off, no one dared to go against the wind and pass on the news. Therefore, people outside only had a vague understanding of what was happening in the palace and did not know much.
See you at 10pm
