Chapter 2057 Inspection
Mrs. Tang touched her belly and thought to herself, what's more, there is a fetal heartbeat that is so faint that Zhou Man needs to listen very carefully to hear it.
Manbao was also thinking about this. It was difficult enough to have one child, let alone two.
The fetal heart rate of one of the children was so weak that we didn’t know if it could be saved. Moreover, it had to be preserved after birth, which was also not easy.
Manbao was thinking about it, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled at Mrs. Tang and said, "I'll take you to see Doctor Xiao this afternoon."
Mrs. Tang nodded.
Manbao took her hand and said, "Come on, let's go for a walk in the garden, and then we'll have dinner in the open pavilion."
After sending the person to the garden, Manbao wrote a letter to Doctor Xiao, stating that he would bring a patient to visit him in the afternoon.
Then someone sent him to the Xiao family.
Zhou Liru and Liu Sanniang were also in the garden, as were Cheng and Manbao's sixth sister-in-law. All three of them were mothers, and they happened to be sitting together talking.
Liu Huan and Bai Erlang leaned against each other, with Wei Chen standing beside them. The three of them were looking at Bai Shan and shaking their heads, "From now on, we will be different."
Liu Huan said: "We are in white."
Bai Erlang continued, "He is in green robe."
Wei Chen said quietly, "It might be Zi Yi in the future."
Bai Shan asked, "Did you eat something sour when you came in?"
“No, but I’ve eaten it now.”
Yin Huo stood aside and watched them with a smile.
Bai Shan turned around and said to him, "Let's go, don't you want to see the peonies?"
"By the way, the peonies planted in the corner of our garden are in bloom. Although they are a bit ugly, it is indeed rare to see peonies blooming in this weather. Do you want to go and see them?" Bai Erlang asked a few friends.
Everyone naturally nodded and responded with "Okay, okay".
Mrs. Tang was listening in surprise and asked, "How come you have peonies blooming at this time of year?"
Manbao nodded and said, "It's not pretty, it's mutated. Besides, the weather right now is pretty much the same as the beginning of spring, chilly but not super cold. It might have mistaken the season, so it's normal for it to bloom."
What's normal about that? One is when spring is in full bloom, and the other is when it's freezing cold. Even if the temperatures are similar, nothing else is close, okay?
Mrs. Tang felt that she was being too perfunctory and asked, "Are those rare varieties of flowers you bought?"
"No," Manbao was very sure of this. If she were, she wouldn't have said it out loud and let anyone know. She just picked it quietly. She said, "It's from last year. Well, it seems to have been given by someone. It's not a particularly expensive variety. My garden was short of flowers, so I planted it. As a result, it bloomed in the spring of this year. It was quite beautiful. Who knew it would bloom again now? Maybe it's not the right season. The petals are a little sparse. Apart from being a little ugly, there's nothing wrong with it."
Mrs. Tang: "Flowers are meant to be admired for their beauty. If it's ugly, what other advantages does it have?"
"There are some. The petals are pretty good. If you pound them, you can make something else out of the flower juice."
County Magistrate Tang sat nearby, fearing they might start arguing. This was mainly because Madam Tang had been in a bad mood recently due to her pregnancy, and he had been having a difficult time the past few days. He was a bit nervous and immediately changed the subject, asking, "Bai Shan passed the imperial examination. Have you written to Changbo?"
Manbao said, "It would be so embarrassing if I wrote a letter specifically to talk about this." It seemed like they were showing off.
"But I figured, my fourth brother and his friends went to the grassland in July, and since it's already October, they should be back. So yesterday I wrote a letter and had it sent to Xiazhou, thinking I could ask Brother Yang to help take care of them. If there's anything, I could ask my fourth brother to bring it back."
Tang He understood that this was called low-key showing off. He and Man Bao exchanged a glance and thought she had done a good job. He also said, "Xiazhou used to be a grassland. There were many cattle and horses raised there. It seems that there are a lot of furs, including a lot of beautiful fox furs. I heard that there are also tiger furs."
Manbao said with a serious face, "The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water. We will not accept such a generous gift from Brother Yang."
Mrs. Tang, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing out loud. She said with a smile, "I heard Zhihe say that you wanted to go out and study. The weather is cold now, so I sent you some high-quality furs this time. Since the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water..."
Man Bao said righteously: "How can it be the same for Brother Tang Xue? He and Bai Shan are as close as brothers."
Even Tang He couldn't help laughing out loud now, he nodded at her and said, "You, you."
"But how did you know we wanted to go out and study?"
Brother Tang thought for a moment before saying, "I heard it from Deputy General Jiang, not from your Bai Shan?"
Lieutenant General Jiang was Yin Li's subordinate, and he must have heard it from Yin Li.
Manbao thought about it and realized that although they had hidden their plan to go out for study abroad from others, they had indeed not hidden it from Yin Huo.
So the matter was exposed.
After lunch, Yin Huo and his friends stayed to play with Bai Shan and his friends. Feng Zongping and his friends also took out arrows to play tossing pots.
By the way, he asked Manbao's three students from the Western Regions some questions, and almost asked them about some secrets of the former Gaochang royal family.
Not to mention, they actually heard some things. They used to be apprentices of a wizard in the Western Regions, and were chosen to come to the capital to study medicine because of their good magical powers.
They originally came for the Imperial Medical Bureau's curse classes, but it turned out that the Imperial Medical Bureau had very few curse classes but many other courses.
Because they didn't understand the language, they had a hard time learning.
Other students only need to study for five years, but these students sent from foreign countries may have to study for eight or nine years. It is too difficult, really too difficult.
Fortunately, they have memorized the acupuncture points now, and they have discovered special effects when touching the human body, so they can persist. Otherwise, they would have wanted to go home long ago.
Although the Gaochang royal family is no longer around, they still speak of it with respect. Bai Shan and the others also restrained their attitude and did not dare to be frivolous. Although they asked about a few secrets, they appeared very serious.
Manbao let them talk while he took Lord and Madam Tang to see Doctor Xiao.
Doctor Xiao was also on leave, and after receiving Manbao's message, he waited at home.
He checked Madam Tang's pulse, glanced at Zhou Man, and then stroked his beard and smiled at Madam Tang, "That's right, but since you're pregnant with twins, your previous diet is inappropriate, and the children won't get enough nutrition. So, I'll give you a dietary list, and I'll discuss with Doctor Zhou to prescribe a prescription that won't harm your body. How about nourishing the children first?"
Mrs. Tang asked worriedly, "Will the baby be too big if I take the tonic?"
Doctor Xiao smiled and said, "No, Doctor Zhou is here. She can feel the fetus, and we can change the prescription at any time. The child is a little malnourished now."
Mrs. Tang breathed a sigh of relief and agreed with a smile.
So Doctor Xiao stood up with a smile and went to discuss the prescription with Zhou Man.
After Doctor Xiao went out for a while, Mrs. Xiao brought her daughter-in-law and daughter to see Mrs. Tang, and everyone talked about the children excitedly.
Lord Tang took the opportunity to slip away.
See you at 6pm
