Chapter 1775 Idea
The emperor was having dinner with the queen, and the eunuchs also prepared some medicine and brought it to him.
The emperor drank it all in one gulp, put down the bowl, and even took a piece of candy. He thought of Zhou Man after taking the medicine, and he couldn't help laughing. He mentioned to the queen what Zhou Man said when she recommended Yang Heshu, and said happily, "No wonder she gets along so well with Dalang. She's so narcissistic. She should praise Yang Heshu, but she has to praise herself and Bai Shan as well."
The queen also laughed.
"However, she does have a pure heart and doesn't hide her purpose for becoming an official." The emperor smiled slightly and shook his head. "She feels she can't compare to Yang Heshu, but I think she's not much worse than Yang Heshu. She didn't say anything like wishing the people peace and well-being, but her desire to build medical offices in various places is a sign of her benevolence."
Although the emperor thought that she and Bai Shan and others were a little whimsical at first, if the queen had not insisted on doing it, he would not have been so moved in the end.
But no matter how fantastical their plans may be, their original intention is to do things with kindness.
"And she's filial," the emperor said with a smile. "She can honestly say she took this position partly to please her parents. I'm very pleased."
The Queen thought for a moment and then asked, "I heard that the Ministry of Revenue has confiscated a lot of things recently, and everyone is feeling a bit sullen. I wonder if they'll get angry and end up implicating Zhou Man."
The emperor frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Didn't I order Yin Li and Tang He to take her out earlier?"
The Queen laughed and said, "The families are not fools. If you take it out, they really won't be able to see Zhou Man anymore."
The emperor sat cross-legged on the couch and asked, "What does Zi Tong say we should do?"
The Queen said, "The Winter Solstice is approaching, and this year is a bit special. Many of the elderly ladies are planning to come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. I thought of summoning the ladies of honor before the Winter Solstice. At that time, I will have Zhou Man and her female disciples check everyone's pulse."
She said, "These old ladies all experienced wars in their youth, and they have some old ailments. Letting Zhou Man take a look at them and alleviate their pain would also be a favor from the court. Isn't it wonderful to kill two birds with one stone?"
Thirty or forty years ago, there were rebellions everywhere, and even the ladies and daughters from wealthy families had to travel a lot.
Medical care at that time was not as advanced as it is today, so everyone suffered from some illnesses.
Even the Queen, didn't she run around everywhere when she was pregnant and worried so much when she was young, which is why she developed so many health problems?
The emperor thought this was a good idea.
This can also be considered as besieging Wei to save Zhao.
Seeing that he had agreed, the queen smiled and said, "Then I will issue an edict to Zhou Man and the ladies of each family."
"Go ahead, go ahead," the emperor said with a smile, "You are the queen mother, so naturally you have the final say on these matters."
The queen smiled.
"By the way, since we are going to meet the ladies of various families, let them bring more girls into the palace to play with. It is also time for Old Fifth to have their fortune read." The emperor said, "I originally thought that the daughter of the Lu family was also good, but now it seems that it is better to find a different family to marry into."
The queen knew that he was doing this because of Yang.
She sighed and asked, "What kind of daughter-in-law do you want?"
The emperor fell into deep thought. "The fifth child is lively and playful. Find him a gentle and sensible girl. She doesn't need to be of high status. A girl with a good personality and good upbringing will be fine. But it would be best if she could read a few books."
The emperor said, "You see, Zhou Man is very sensible. Why? Isn't it because she has been studying since childhood? Even Confucius praised her in front of me, saying that she has the spirit of Confucianism."
The queen smiled. She also thought it was good for girls to read more books. So she had an idea in mind and planned to go back and find Yang Guifei to find a partner for the fifth prince.
Thinking of Yang Guifei, the empress said to the emperor, "After you finish reviewing the memorials this afternoon, go to Yang Guifei's place for dinner."
She said, "She's been feeling uneasy ever since Yang Rong's incident. Go and comfort her and don't let her get sick from the shock."
The emperor said unhappily, "I haven't charged her with any crime, so why should she be afraid? Last time, she brought the fifth son to plead for mercy, and I didn't scold her, I just confined her to her house."
The Queen said gently, "She's always been timid and still young. Being confined to her house is already frightening enough for her. Now that Yang Rong's verdict has been handed down, why bother being the bad guy again?"
She didn't persuade him before because the verdict had not come out yet, and she was worried that the emperor's visit would affect the Dali Temple's decision.
But now that the verdict has been made, what's the point in scaring the mother and son again?
The emperor muttered, "She's almost old enough to be a grandmother, and she's still so young?"
The Queen gave him a sidelong glance and asked, "Are you going or not? If you don't, I'll order her to come to Taiji Hall for dinner tonight."
"Okay, okay, I'll go. Isn't it okay for me to go?"
Manbao filed the emperor's pulse diagnosis in the Imperial Hospital, asked Imperial Physician Liu to sign for her, and then happily ran back to Chongwenguan with her medicine box to have dinner.
Doctor Liu watched her run away, shook his head and said, "Why is she so happy that the emperor is sick?"
Doctor Zheng had a class at the Imperial Medical Bureau this afternoon and planned to go there after dinner, so he asked Doctor Liu, "Do you want to go together?"
Doctor Liu had fewer classes this afternoon, with his only one being towards the end of the school day, so he said, "You go ahead. I still have to check the herbs that were delivered today before putting them into the pharmacy."
Doctor Zheng agreed.
At this time, they would envy Zhou Man because she didn't have to do these chores.
They all had to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to attend classes, compile medical books, and were ordered to treat royal relatives, but she had more time than them because she didn't have to deal with all the miscellaneous tasks in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Manbao happily returned to Chongwenguan for lunch. She also had classes at the Imperial Medical Bureau in the afternoon, but she was not in a hurry to go out, so she took a nap after dinner, calculated the time to leave the palace, and arrived at the Imperial Medical Bureau just before class.
This ability to calculate time is more accurate than that of all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, so accurate that even Dean Xiao couldn't help but look sideways.
Manbao found a scroll, opened it, and hung it on the wall, straightening it for everyone to see. "This is a meridian map. From today on, we will begin to identify the meridian points by looking at the map."
The students in Class A of the Physical Therapy Department were stunned. Although many of them already had some basic skills, they still felt that Zhou Man's speed was too fast.
Manbao didn't think so. When she was just studying medicine, Teacher Mo taught her to identify the meridians and acupoints. Then, when she found the acupoints, he gave her an anthropomorphic model for her to prick at will.
Of course, she couldn't give the students an anthropomorphic model, so they could only try to find the acupuncture points on themselves and their classmates, and even give each other acupuncture later.
So in order to reduce pain and disputes between them in the future, she decided to lay a good foundation to reduce the chances of them pricking the wrong acupuncture points in the future.
It is basically impossible to completely eliminate it. She made many mistakes when injecting the needle on the anthropomorphic model, and later on when she tried it on Bai Shan and others, she even got bleeding.
See you at 11pm
