Chapter 2595 Encounter
Bai Shan quietly sat back in his seat and tried to minimize his presence along with his colleagues.
The attendant was already used to it. Following the emperor around every day, he had seen many conspiracy and conspiracy as well.
Even if a person who can become an emperor does not have a black heart, it cannot be bright red either. There must be a little bit of black in his heart, so that he can be an emperor safely.
After Manbao got the medical book he wanted, he stopped caring about anything else and went to the Imperial Hospital every day to report for duty, treating the ladies in the palace. Occasionally, he would go out for medical consultations, and the place he went most regularly was the Zheng family.
When she left the Zheng family again, the Zheng family finally remembered to give her the medical fee. There was a plate of silver ingots. Manbao took it without hesitation, asked the two medical assistants who accompanied her to take it, and then gave one to each of them.
Assistant Doctor Duan accepted it hesitantly. It was said that Doctor Zhou was very generous to her accompanying medical assistants. They had never had the opportunity to be her medical assistants before, but they didn't expect that she was really generous.
Manbao collected the remaining three silver ingots and said to them, "There aren't many cases in the palace, and the weather will be hot next month, so the Imperial Medical Bureau plans to set up free clinics in East City and West City. You should arrange your shifts and make sure to go three days every ten days. Write up the medical records, and Dean Xiao and I will be checking them later."
Doctor Duan and his assistant were stunned for a moment before agreeing.
After Zhou Man got on his horse and left, the two men looked at each other in surprise, holding a silver ingot in their hands.
Assistant Doctor Cai touched the silver ingot in his arms and said, "A few days ago, I heard a rumor that the Imperial Medical Bureau was short of staff and that they were transferring a few imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to take charge of the affairs there. So, the Imperial Hospital needs to promote two new imperial physicians."
Assistant Doctor Duan's eyes lit up, "You mean we..."
He was a little skeptical and shook his head, saying, "Assistant Doctor Liu is not only the granddaughter of Imperial Doctor Liu, but also a disciple of Imperial Doctor Zhou. She has long been prescribing medicine independently. If anyone is going to be promoted, shouldn't she be the first one to be promoted?"
Assistant Doctor Cai disagreed. "The director is very disciplined. Doctor Zhou is a skilled doctor, so he's been making exceptions. Assistant Doctor Liu is still a bit inferior to Doctor Zhou. Although she can see patients independently, she's only good at acupuncture. She doesn't prescribe many medicines. And in terms of seniority, she's below us."
Doctor Assistant Duan was also very excited. If this was true, it would be a major event in their lives.
Being promoted from a medical assistant to an imperial physician is a big hurdle. Some people are unlucky and cannot be promoted to an imperial physician even after working as a medical assistant for ten years.
There are almost no people who rise as quickly as Zhou Man.
It was Xiao Yuanzheng. He was promoted so quickly because of the strong support of Doctor Tan.
The two went home with money and dreams.
Manbao ran home happily with the silver in her arms. Before she reached the door, she saw Bai Shan from a distance. She immediately called out to him, rode fast to catch up with him, and said to him happily, "I made money again today."
Bai Shan asked with a smile, "Did the Zheng family pay the consultation fee? Or did they take on other outpatient consultations?"
"Given by the Zheng family." Manbao handed the horse to the doorman and took Bai Shan back to count the silver ingots.
Well, there are only three, no need to count, but they are very fat, one ingot weighs ten taels, and three of them are placed in the sleeve pocket, which is very heavy. They also look very nice on the table.
Bai Shan touched it and felt happy, "Shall we go out for dinner tonight?"
Manbao nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
So the two of them called Xibing and asked Wuyue to tell Old Madam Liu. They changed their clothes and went out.
Daji and Xibing followed behind the two of them.
When they arrived at the market, they didn't rush to find food, so they walked down the street. After walking for a while, Bai Shan asked her, "What do you want to eat?"
Manbao thought about it carefully and said, "Wontons, I want to eat wontons!"
"Okay!" Bai Shan thought about it carefully, and finally found a relatively delicious wonton restaurant in his mind. He took her hand and went to find it.
When they arrived, it was dinner time and the stalls were already crowded. Bai Shan looked around and saw a table of guests about to leave, so he pulled Man Bao over to sit down. Just as they sat down, someone rushed out and sat next to them, shouting, "We got here first."
Bai Shan and Man Bao turned to look at her; she looked very familiar.
The girl who had successfully grabbed the stool finally looked up and saw Bai Shan and Zhou Man staring at them with their eyes wide open and their mouths slightly open. She immediately stood up and bowed, "This servant greets Master Bai and Master Zhou."
Manbao looked behind her and asked, "You are here, where is your princess?"
The head maid smiled sheepishly and said, "The princess and her husband are waiting for the roasted lamb over there. They said wontons are delicious with roasted meat."
Manbao nodded, sat down at the table, and called Daji and Xibing, "Hurry up and take a seat. Princess Changyu and her husband will come over and ask for a seat."
This is a shared table. A table should seat at least four people, and six people can sit if they squeeze together, so you have to reserve it in advance.
Upon hearing this, Xibing immediately went forward, pulled a stool and sat down, and also pulled the senior palace maid.
The senior palace maid sat down on the stool with her buttocks slightly resting. Although she was a little nervous, she was mostly excited. Lord Zhou had always been kind and gentle, so he probably wouldn't be angry about this.
Manbao was not angry at all, and asked her, "How much did your princess eat?"
"I haven't eaten anything. The princess left the house only after the prince consort left the yamen."
Manbao nodded, "Have you eaten yet?"
The palace maid shook her head and smiled subtly.
Manbao had made quite a bit of money today and was quite generous. He could still afford to treat everyone to wontons at eight cents a bowl, so he waved his hand and said, "I'll treat you all. How many people are there?"
The head maid hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are six followers."
Manbao said to the shopkeeper, "Give me twelve bowls of wontons, all large."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
The shop owner took a look at Manbao and his friends, and when he greeted customers next time, he intentionally made room for them at the table.
After waiting for a while, Chang Yu and Wei Yu squeezed over under the protection of the palace maids, and were very surprised to see Bai Shan and Man Bao.
Wei Yu, in particular, was so happy that she sat down on the stool next to Bai Shan and asked with a smile, "When did you arrive?"
Bai Shan smiled and said, "We just arrived too. I didn't expect to run into you here by such a coincidence today."
Changyu sat next to Manbao and was very happy when he heard that she had ordered a large bowl of wontons for them. "We'll be able to eat it soon. It's a pity that their wontons are so big that I'm afraid I can't finish them all."
Manbao said, "Give me the leftovers and I'll eat them for you."
Chang Yu knew that Zhou Man had a good appetite and ate a lot, so he smiled and said, "That's what you said."
She turned around and motioned for the maid to unwrap the barbecue they had bought. She said, "The wontons will take some time, so let's eat the barbecue first."
Manbao used a stick to pick out a piece for Baishan, and gave another piece to Daji and Xibing. He ate a piece and said in surprise, "Not bad."
Chang Yu raised his head proudly and said, "Not bad, isn't it? It's not bad compared to what we had during the Mid-Autumn Festival that year. I had to eat at many restaurants before I found this one to be good."
See you at 9pm
