Chapter 2033 Leaving
When Manbao brought Zhou Liru to Jishidiang, Liu Sanniang and Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao were already waiting inside.
Also waiting together are the Luo couple. If Manbao sees that there is no problem today, he will hand Mrs. Luo over to Liu Sanniang for care.
The other brothers of the Luo family had gone back a month ago, and only Luo Dalang and his wife stayed.
He still lived in a rented house. Zhou Wulang found him a job as a helper in the grocery store next door. Occasionally, when there was no work in the grocery store, he would go out to carry bags.
They saved some of the money they earned, which was barely enough for their food, accommodation and to buy some medicine. Manbao did not charge them for their consultations, and occasionally Jishidiang would give them a discount for Manbao's sake. So after a month, the couple had not even spent all the copper coins they had brought with them.
Although he lived in fear every day, he was still very happy to see his wife getting better day by day, and felt that his persistence was right.
After Manbao took Madam Luo's pulse, her lochia had stopped, but her body was still very weak. Starting today, she would have to change two sets of acupuncture techniques and prescriptions.
Manbao not only taught Liu Sanniang and Zhou Liru, but also Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao who were standing beside them.
She said, "Even if patients are reluctant to have acupuncture performed by male doctors in the future, they can still use medicine, so you must study this disease seriously."
Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao agreed obediently.
After Manbao had written the prescription, he gave them some instructions based on the prescription they had written, and then asked Doctor Liu to give acupuncture to Madam Luo.
Because a new acupuncture method was used today, Manbao stood by and watched personally. After the needle was removed, Manbao felt Mrs. Luo's pulse and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, take the medicine and go back."
Mrs. Luo can now dress herself and even walk a few steps on the ground. She nodded repeatedly, stood up and put on her clothes.
Luo Dalang took the prescription and got some new medicine, then expressed his gratitude to Zhou Man repeatedly before leaving with Mrs. Luo on her back.
Liu Sanniang washed her hands and came over, asking, "Master, will she be able to recover in two months?"
Manbao said, "If you follow the doctor's advice carefully, it may take less than two months. It's a pity that her family is poor, otherwise she could eat eggs and meat every other day, and she would recover faster."
Now Luo Dalang has been very generous in providing food to Mrs. Luo, but she only eats two eggs every two days and meat once every three days.
Just when Manbao was busy with these patients, Prince Gong was finally about to leave Beijing.
He was going to take his wife and children back to Luozhou and had already set a departure date. It was originally agreed that they would leave after the Lantern Festival, but Princess Gong happened to catch a cold on the night of the Lantern Festival, so the trip was delayed until now.
Chang Yu came to ask her to go with him to see Prince Gong off. Man Bao was very curious, "Am I going to see Prince Gong off?"
Chang Yu said, "Just send him to the palace gate. Haven't you been treating Third Brother's leg injury? Now that we're in Luozhou, we don't know when we'll see each other again."
In the past, Chang Yu would never have said this. Luozhou is not very far from the capital. Even if it is far, as long as he is favored, his father will always summon him to the capital during the holidays.
But things are different now. This time when Prince Gong leaves, his father probably won't take the initiative to call him back, so he will only be recalled to the capital if there is something important happening to the Emperor and Empress.
From Changyu's perspective, she naturally hopes that her father and mother will live long and peacefully.
That's why she said that she didn't know how long it would take before they could see each other again.
In this era, separation may really be a farewell forever.
Manbao thought about it. Although her relationship with Prince Gong was not good, she had been treating the patient for a long time, so it would be nice to go and see him off. So she asked Changyu about the time and agreed to see him off at the palace gate the next day.
Manbao is going, so as Mingda's future son-in-law, Bai Erlang, he naturally has to go to see him off as well.
Bai Shan thought about it for a moment and decided to go with them during the break.
When they arrived, Prince Gong was bidding farewell to the Emperor. In fact, he still wanted to return to Luozhou.
Now he has lost the qualifications to compete for the throne, and his legs are lame. Staying in the capital is like being in prison. So although he is reluctant to leave his father, Prince Gong still says goodbye with tears in his eyes.
Prince Gong was reluctant to say goodbye to the emperor, but was more reserved when talking to the empress.
The Queen sighed slightly at him and reached out to touch his hair. Not only Prince Gong, but everyone else was slightly stunned.
The queen touched him as if he were a child and sighed, "Remember to write to us when you return to Luozhou."
She added, "My Queen Mother only hopes that you will live a safe and healthy life."
Prince Gong nodded in agreement.
Manbao and the other two came forward last, simply handing over the prepared gifts and wishing Prince Gong a safe journey.
Prince Gong was surprised to see them, obviously not expecting them to come and see him off. He hesitantly took the things in their hands, turned around and handed them to his servants before nodding slightly.
Everyone just said one sentence.
It was getting late, and after leaving the palace they still had to leave the city. It was getting late, so Prince Gong got on his horse and left with a reluctant look on his face.
The prince personally escorted the people out of the city.
After watching the convoy go away and looking at Prince Gong following closely behind the Crown Prince, only one step behind, Bai Erlang couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked the Crown Prince to escort Prince Gong. Won't they fight on the way?"
"No," Bai Shan said, "It is a customary rule that the crown prince sends the princes away.
Only after the carriage disappeared did the emperor, holding the empress's hand, turn around and head back to Taiji Hall. Glancing at Zhou Man and the other two, he nodded with satisfaction, "The three of them, the prince consorts, still remember the old times."
Although he didn't interact much with Prince Gong, he still came to see him off.
The queen glanced at the emperor who was trying to cover his ears and steal the bell. She didn't think Zhou Man and the others were sentimental, but just thought they were polite.
Manbao and the other two lowered their heads and waited for the emperor and empress to leave before running up to talk to Mingda and the others.
Bai Erlang looked nervously at Mingda, whose eyes were red, and asked, "Are you reluctant to let Prince Gong go?"
Mingda shook his head. "It's great that Third Brother is returning to Luozhou. I just feel a little sad because I think we might not see each other for many years."
"What's the big deal? He can't return to Beijing. If you want to see him, go to Luozhou to see him."
Manbao also nodded, "That's right, we can also have some fun in Luozhou on the way."
Mingda couldn't help laughing, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Are you going to Luozhou for fun, or are you going to see the third brother?"
"They mean pretty much the same thing anyway, so just do both."
Chang Yu said, "I wonder what good food there is in Luozhou. It's been so long since Third Brother came back that I forgot to ask him."
This kind of thing has always been a concern of the servants. Changyu never thought about it before, but now he will take the initiative to ask and consider it.
The five of them walked back. Mingda and Changyu found an excuse and planned to take a detour to the East Palace to visit the Crown Princess and the little princes.
The emperor and empress did not stop them. The girls were grown up and could naturally play by themselves.
See you at 8pm
