Chapter 2059 Urgent Summoning
Manbao looked at his pulse record, and then carefully recalled the face of the second-place candidate he saw that day. He carefully wrote out a prescription for him and wrote down the medical instructions.
I also found him a bottle of ointment, "Treat both the inside and outside. From what I saw from a distance that day, it didn't seem too serious. Eat a light diet, and it should heal faster."
Manbao quietly earned extra money in the palace, and only had time to leave the palace to formally meet Ping Bangjian, and then to check on Madam Tang. His outpatient clinic business was in full swing.
When she did these things, she brought her apprentice and niece-in-law Liu Sanniang with her, wanting her to gain some experience and make a name for herself.
The acne on Ping Bangyan's face was not particularly serious. According to him, he was just nervous and prone to acne when taking exams. This time the exam was so serious, so he had the most acne in his life.
Originally, he wanted to just go to a clinic and see a doctor, but after taking medicine for twenty days, it didn't help much and he only developed a few more spots.
He had no choice because his wife told him that there was a very good whitening cream and acne-removing cream in Beijing, which was produced by the Zhou family. It was said that the chef of Zhouji Restaurant used to have a face full of acne, but now it is as smooth as before and there is no acne at all.
After asking around, they found out that the chef of Zhou Ji Restaurant was Zhou Man’s sixth brother, and that the whitening cream and acne cream were all made by Zhou Man’s sister-in-law and niece.
He then took the opportunity of having lunch with his classmates to strike up a conversation with Bai Shan and found Zhou Man.
Not to mention, he felt much better after taking the medicine according to her prescription for only seven days, because the pimples on his face were not so red and bright. Even he felt that he was getting better, let alone his wife.
So when they formally met Zhou Man, Ping Bangyan enthusiastically wanted to invite her and Bai Shan to dinner. The two were about to accept when there was a sudden knock on the door.
It was urgent, so urgent that Manbao felt like she had seen it before. She stood up quickly and said, "Send someone to see who is knocking on the door..."
Manbao had already hurried out, and Baishan also felt that the knock on the door was very familiar. Even though it was not at his own home, he quickly followed him out.
Ping Bangyan's eyes flashed, and he immediately stood up and followed him out.
The door opened, and Daji, who was waiting outside with his horse, immediately said, "Miss Man, there is a summons from the palace."
In front of Ping Bangyan, Man Bao didn't ask anything. He nodded to him and said, "Ping Bangyan, it's unfortunate today. We can eat another day."
Ping Bangyan nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Doctor Zhou is busy, so please go first, Brother Bai..."
Bai Shan had already taken the other horse from Daji and said with a smile, "It's okay, we'll go home first."
They came here today in a guarded carriage. Manbao asked Liu Sanniang to take the carriage back. She and Bai Shan rode fast horses home, not caring about riding on the street, and quickly returned to Zhou's house.
The person waiting at the Zhou family's place was not a eunuch, but a medical assistant from the palace.
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, then jumped off his horse and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Imperial Medical Bureau or the Imperial Hospital?"
"Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Liu is urgently calling for all the imperial physicians to return to the palace."
Manbao nodded in agreement, turned around and said to Baishan: "I'll go into the palace first."
She got on the carriage that came to pick her up from the palace and then asked the medical assistant, "What happened?"
"I don't know either. It's just that Doctor Liu received an urgent report from the Ministry of Chancellery," the assistant doctor said after a pause, "about an epidemic somewhere."
"How can there be an epidemic when it's already winter?"
Epidemics can occur in all seasons, but they prefer spring and summer the most. They may also occur in early autumn, but usually in winter...
Manbao was startled and asked, "Could it be a cold?"
The medical assistant looked at her innocently, he didn't know.
Manbao had no choice but to hold back and enter the palace first.
Before Bai Shan turned around, Mr. Zhuang called him with a sullen expression, saying, "Lord Yang of Xiazhou has sent you a letter. Come and take a look."
Isn't it normal for Yang Heshu to write to you? Why does Mr. Zhuang look so gloomy?
Bai Shan quickly followed him into the mansion and asked, "Sir, is there something wrong with Xiazhou?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said, "The person who came from Xiazhou was not a servant of the Yang family, but a soldier guarding the post station outside the city. He said... there was an outbreak of smallpox in Xiazhou."
Bai Shan's pupils shrank and his breathing quickened. He quickened his pace and went to the study. Bai Erlang had already opened the thick envelope. He not only read their copy, but also read the secret letter addressed to Manbao.
Anyway, they are all put together. Although the letterhead is addressed to Manbao, I definitely didn't intend to avoid them.
As soon as he saw Mr. Zhuang and Bai Shan come in, he immediately jumped up with the letter in his hand and said, "A letter from Yang Xuexiong, Xiazhou wuwuwu..."
After taking a look at the letter, Bai Dalang's face turned pale, but he still quickly covered Bai Erlang's mouth.
Mr. Zhuang took the letter from Bai Erlang and said slowly, "Why are you so impatient? Can't you just speak slowly?"
After listening to Mr. Zhuang's words, Bai Dalang felt calmer. Bai Erlang also calmed down, pulled his elder brother's hand away, and stared at the two of them with a sharp gaze.
Bai Shan took the folded letter paper and found that it was written to the three of them. Most of them were words of congratulations and thanks. When they wrote to him some time ago, they sent some local specialties from the capital.
He put the letter down and turned to look at what Mr. Zhuang was holding.
That was a letter written to Manbao.
Mr. Zhuang read through the pages quickly, and after reading each one, he handed one to Bai Shan, who immediately took it and read it.
Yang Heshu wrote to Zhou Man to seek advice, or more precisely, to ask for help.
There is an outbreak of smallpox in Xiazhou, and the number of people infected so far is not too large. He has basically controlled the sick people now, but he can't burn all the living people, right?
So now they can only control the person, but not the disease. The doctors in Xiazhou are not as good as those in the capital, let alone those in the palace, so he asked Zhou Man if he had any prescription for treating smallpox.
It would be even better if the Imperial Medical Service could send someone to Xiazhou.
Bai Shan also read through it quickly. Later, he briefly wrote about how smallpox was discovered in Xiazhou. Seeing some of the names of people and places, Bai Shan felt uneasy. "Oh no! The disease actually started in the north of the city. Can Brother Yang control everyone?"
At this time, the palace was also discussing this issue. Because of Yang Heshu's urgent document, important officials from the three provinces were summoned to a meeting. Because it was related to the epidemic, the Imperial Hospital also attended.
Doctor Liu took Doctor Xiao and Manbao with him.
Doctor Xiao was chosen because he had been the director of the hospital for many years and his medical skills and prestige were unquestionable. Zhou Man was chosen because she was eloquent and a compiler, so the hospital wouldn't suffer too much if there was an argument.
So everyone sat down.
First, Yin Li said, "Lord Yang said that someone in the Xiazhou Governor's residence had also contracted smallpox. When he sealed the city gates and the Governor's residence, Governor Niu's eldest son was no longer at the residence. So he suggested that the capital intercept all those coming from the north to prevent the smallpox from entering the capital."
See you tomorrow
