Chapter 2025 Distribution
After the matter was settled, the two counties in the capital posted the notice of the free medical consultation. County Magistrate Tang was even kind enough to notify the heads of all the neighborhoods under his jurisdiction, and asked the runners to go to the countryside to notify all the townships, towns and villages under his jurisdiction. In order to avoid them making a wasted trip, he even asked the runners to stagger their times.
County Magistrate Guo originally only wanted to post a notice, but when he heard that County Magistrate Tang was so meticulous in his work, he decided to do the same.
So early in the morning on the 18th day of the first lunar month, as soon as the inner and outer city gates were opened, many people braved the cold to enter the city, and some people even carried people on wooden boards.
It was the first time that the soldiers guarding the gate saw so many people carrying people into the city in one day, and they couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
The man carrying a pale and thin woman said, "I heard that the Imperial Medical Bureau is going to hold a free clinic with an imperial physician, so I brought my wife to see her."
The soldier couldn't help but take a look at the person on the wooden board. Only her head was exposed, and she was covered with several green quilts, one layer on top of the other. He could hardly see the rise and fall of her breathing. He felt that such heavy quilts could crush a person to death.
The soldiers looked them up and down and found nothing prohibited, so they waved their hands and let them enter the city.
This was their first time in the capital, and they couldn't help but ask the people passing by, "How do I get to the Imperial Medical Bureau?"
"Go straight and look for it after you enter the inner city." The person being questioned took a look at them and thought their accent didn't sound like anyone from near the capital, so he asked, "Which village are you from?"
"Luo Village."
The other party asked woodenly, "Is there such a village in Chang'an County?"
"We're not from Chang'an County, we're from Fengzhou. On the 14th, we heard that the imperial physician in the capital was going to hold a free clinic. We didn't even stay home for the 15th, we just came here straight away."
"Isn't it? After four days of walking, we finally arrived."
"...You walked here?"
"Yeah, it's my first time coming to such a far place. The capital is really far away."
It's far, far as hell. It only takes a day to get from the capital to Fengzhou by horse. If the carriage is slower, it will take a day and a half. If you walk...
The person who was stopped for questioning glanced at the woman on the wooden board and pointed out, "Then you have to go quickly. There is a young and amazing doctor named Zhou in the Imperial Hospital. She is a female doctor and she is very good at treating women's illnesses."
The man's eyes lit up as he said, "I know. It was she who cured the Crown Prince's illness and brought the little grandson back. We came here because we heard that she would also take up the position."
Otherwise, how could he dare to go out and come to the capital since he had never left Fengzhou since he was a child?
He took a look at his wife. The doctors in Fengzhou were helpless, but he really didn't want his wife to die. She was his only wife.
The people of Luo Village thanked him and quickened their pace towards the inner city.
Manbao blew a breath into his palm and stamped his feet. Bai Shan saw this and said, "Let's do a set of boxing. It will keep you from feeling cold."
She had just put her hands into her sleeves and didn't want to take them out again, but Bai Shan was right, and she had to lead the students in free medical treatment today, so she had to cheer up.
So she nodded, finally took her hands out of her sleeves, and then slowly followed Bai Shan in boxing.
After the first fight, she felt warm and followed him for the second time. When Bai Erlang and Yin or Liu Huan finally washed up and prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch, they walked out of the yard and saw two people boxing under a tree not far away.
Liu Huan said with a sour smile, "How come they always get up so early?" And they always get together.
Bai Erlang lifted his eyelids and took a look. He was not surprised at all. He walked to the side of the road and shouted to them, "It's time for breakfast."
Bai Shan responded and finished his boxing. He and Man Bao finished their boxing and walked over. At this time, a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads. Man Bao no longer felt cold. "Sure enough, we still have to practice boxing."
Manbao left the palace after breakfast. Imperial Physician Xiao and Imperial Physician Liu didn't even enter the palace, but went directly from home.
Doctor Lu is on duty in the palace today.
When they arrived at the Imperial Medical Bureau, there were already quite a few people standing or sitting in front of them. When they saw the carriage stop at the gate, the people sitting there stood up to look. The officers who came to maintain order shouted, "Get up, get up, everyone, line up! One patient per seat, no more lines."
Manbao got off the car carrying the medicine box, turned his head to look at the people waiting, then looked at the tables and chairs that had been set out and the tent set up on the side, then turned and entered the Imperial Medical Bureau.
There was a large open space in front of the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Imperial College, and there were notice boards in front of the two offices. This time, the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Imperial College borrowed land and directly occupied the large piece of land outside their walls.
There were tables, chairs and tents set up there. It was actually just a simple shed.
Entering the Imperial Medical Bureau, it was bustling with activity. The selected students had been waiting there for a long time.
This time, the places were all awarded based on academic performance, and Zhou Liru was among them. Previously at Jishidiang, she only knew how to identify and memorize medicinal herbs, and had no experience. This time, she was actually here to help and see how the teachers and seniors did it.
Manbao didn't take them with him, or rather, they were not worth taking with him now. They were just there to watch and help from behind.
The twelve selected students needed their hands-on teaching, and three of them were Manbao's disciples.
Doctor Xiao was as shrewd as a clown. As soon as she came in, she said, "You've come at the perfect time. There are six of us leading these twelve people. To avoid a fight, let's just draw lots."
Liu Sanniang was the only woman among the twelve people, so Manbao said directly, "I'll only draw one, and Sanniang will always follow me."
The other imperial doctors thought that since they were all men, it would be inconvenient for them to take care of Liu Sanniang, so they nodded in agreement.
Doctor Liu smiled and found Liu Sanniang's paper from a handful of paper balls and took it out. Then he shook the remaining paper balls, messed them up, and looked at everyone.
Everyone asked Doctor Liu to arrest him first. After all, he had a higher status at the moment, right?
Doctor Liu gave way for a moment, then became less polite and took out two paper balls. Then came Doctor Xiao...
According to age and seniority... Manbao kept giving way, and finally there was only one person left at the table.
She silently picked it up and opened it. Meeting everyone's sharp gazes, she unfolded it and showed it to them, "Shi Xiu."
When everyone heard this, their expressions varied. Imperial Physician Xiao stroked his beard and smiled, "Not bad, not bad. I remember that Imperial Physician Zhou and Manager Shi of Baohe Clinic were also on good terms."
Of course Manbao knew Shi Xiu. He was the youngest son of Manager Shi and had studied medicine for many years before coming here. He heard that his two brothers wanted to join the Imperial Medical Service, but failed the exams several times. Their family had no connections in the Imperial Medical Service, so they couldn't use their connections to get in as a medical assistant, so they gave up later.
When the Imperial Medical Bureau was opened, Manager Shi called back his youngest son who was studying outside. He was one year younger than Zheng Gu and just met the age limit to enter the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Everyone knew that he, like Zheng Gu, came for the Imperial Medical Service.
It didn't matter to Manbao where he came from. They were all students of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and most of them had taken her classes.
So Manbao took the note and said, "I'm going to find someone."
"Let's go together."
Manbao went out with everyone else and asked, "Who took Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao with them?"
Doctor Xiao and Doctor Fang responded, saying it was their turn, and Manbao asked them to take good care of him.
See you at 9pm
