Chapter 2032 Handed Over
Although the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau are very busy, that is largely due to the establishment of the Imperial Medical Bureau. If they are really just seeing patients and studying medical books, they are actually not that busy, after all, there are only so many patients.
They used to make many outpatient visits.
But since the establishment of the Imperial Medical Bureau, they have rarely accepted outpatient consultations.
Because they are too busy, not only do they have to teach and make lesson plans, but they also have to compile medical books. However, even though they are so busy, they still have so many patients on hand, so when they are extremely busy, medical assistants are actually not very busy.
Not only are they not busy, but they also can't learn much in the palace, unless they have a master like Zhou Man who teaches them everything.
However, even if you are taught, you still need to practice. So soon after the nine medical assistants entered the palace, the Imperial Hospital decided to set up an auxiliary medical department under it to specifically treat the palace people.
Its main personnel are the medical assistants of the Imperial Medical Service.
In addition, Doctor Xiao personally took the lead, and Manbao, Doctor Liu and others worked hard to connect all the pharmacies in Beijing, and reserved a clinic for the Imperial Hospital in the lobby. Any medical assistant in the Imperial Hospital could see patients in the affiliated pharmacies with a license letter issued by the Imperial Hospital with a seal.
Of course, this is not mandatory. Anyone who wants to go can apply to go, and anyone who doesn’t want to go can choose not to go.
However, if you want to improve your medical skills, you must see more patients. Only by accumulating enough experience can you become a good doctor.
However, it all depends on personal awareness.
Zheng Gu, Zheng Shao and Liu Sanniang did not rely entirely on their own consciousness. Not to mention Jishidiang, even their master would always find various patients for them.
After the free clinic ended, Manbao slowly handed over the remaining long-term patients to the three people.
The long-term patients she can take on do not have simple illnesses, but all have various diseases that cannot be cured or are difficult to cure by other doctors.
Among them, leucorrhea and infertility are the most common diseases. She seems to be recognized as the best at these two diseases, so many of the patients who come to her are of these two types.
Manbao made an appointment with someone to see patients in Jishidiang, but he would bring an apprentice with him every time. He would then personally guide the patient from questioning, prescribing to acupuncture. After two or three times, the patient could be handed over to the apprentice.
There were three people, Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao each took over two cases, Liu Sanniang took over three, and there was also Madam Luo. Because her illness was indeed more complicated, changeable and serious, Manbao took care of her personally.
But every time she went to see a patient, she would bring Liu Sanniang and Zhou Liru with her.
Not only Liu Sanniang, but Zhou Liru is also making rapid progress.
After the Dragon Raises its Head on the Second Day of the Second Month, people began to busy themselves in the fields inside and outside the capital. Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qianshi also packed up their things and went to Putian Village.
It's the busy farming season. Although they are only planting three experimental fields now and the rest of the land is planted by tenant farmers, they still have to keep an eye on it.
After all, if they plant well, they will have a high harvest, and if the harvest is high, they will get more.
Manbao took a rare break and followed the two of them closely. "Sister-in-law, do you really not want us to go with you?"
"Aren't you still sick?" Little Qian said, "You are an adult now. You can't just think about playing all day long."
Manbao: "...I'm not being playful, I'm just worried you might get the wrong seeds."
"It can't be wrong," said Zhou Dalang, holding the cloth bag in his hand. "Didn't you write it all on it? This bag is 1-1, and this bag is 1-1-2..."
Although he didn't understand what it meant, he knew that one bag of rice seeds could only plant one field. Manbao had been repeating this to him since he came back with the rice seeds, and he could recite it word for word.
Manbao could only watch them get into the car reluctantly. Zhou Lizhong harnessed the car and said to Manbao with a smile: "Don't worry, aunt, I'm watching over you. There won't be any confusion."
Manbao then saw Zhou Lizhong, "By the way, Imperial Physician Liu and I have discussed that after the national mourning period is over, you two should start the six rites of marriage."
The main reason is that Zhou Lizhong and Liu Sanniang are both quite old.
Zhou Lizhong blushed a little when she suddenly talked about her marriage, but he still looked at his parents expectantly.
Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qianshi naturally had no objections. After discussing it for a while, they said, "We'll go calculate a date later. We should be able to have the wedding ceremony in March."
The etiquette follows the household registration. The head of the Zhou family is Zhou Jin, who is an ordinary citizen. Therefore, except for Zhou Man, everyone in the Zhou family only observes the national mourning period for three months.
But if she were a boy, the Zhou family would have to wait for another six months. When she knew this, she didn't know whether to say that the court "favored sons over daughters."
The entire Liu family had to follow Imperial Physician Liu and observe the full six months of mourning.
Manbao calculated that since the six rituals would begin in March, the wedding would probably be in July or August. She had already decided to write a letter to her parents and ask them to come to Beijing to attend the wedding.
Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qianshi also thought so. For such a big event as Changsun getting married, it would be better if his parents were present.
After seeing the family of three off, Manbao turned around and went back to the study. Seeing Zhou Lixue lazily opening the door, he stopped and asked, "Lixue, what did you do last night? Your mother said the light in your room was on for half the night."
Zhou Lixue sighed quietly and said, "My uncle-in-law signed up for this year's Jinshi exam. They say he's the youngest person taking it and has a good chance of passing. When our teacher heard about it, he thought since we live together and I'm your nephew, I shouldn't be far behind. If I'm any worse off, it's definitely not a matter of brains, but of diligence."
"So now, in order to force me to be 'diligent', they've assigned me a ton of homework, some of which I haven't even learned yet."
Since I haven't learned it before, I can only find it and read it now. Zhou Lixue stayed up very late last night, and finally couldn't hold on any longer and climbed into bed to sleep. He fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
"But aunt, I don't think this is a matter of 'hard work'. When you were busy studying, I was also studying, really." Zhou Lixue didn't think he was lazy at all. He said, "I think this is a problem with my parents."
"I heard that my uncle was very smart since he was a child. Your maternal grandfather was a scholar, so he must be very smart too. So this is hereditary, you can't blame me."
Manbao actually thought what he said made sense.
"Although I think what you said is right, it may be difficult for your husband to believe you," Manbao said, looking at the cyan in his eyes, "But although diligence is important, it also requires a balance between work and rest. Otherwise, you will get half the result with twice the effort. Isn't that too much of a loss?"
"I think you're right, aunt. Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the chopping of wood. That's why I slept in today."
Manbao:...Are you sure you’re not unable to get up, but are just deliberately sleeping in?
See you tomorrow
