Chapter 2636 Visiting Households
Manbao has already looked up the medical books they brought for instructions on how to use sleeping spices or various medicine bags.
Doctor Liu followed her and saw that she was only looking through the table of contents. He twitched his lips and said, "Don't read it. The medical books you brought don't mention spices. If you really want to read it, you can only write a note and go back to the Imperial Hospital to have the book brought back."
Manbao felt an urge in his heart, "Why don't I go back? I'll hurry up and set off early tomorrow morning, and I'll be back the day after tomorrow morning."
Doctor Liu thought about it and decided that since both he and Dean Xiao were here, it wouldn't be a big deal if Zhou Man left temporarily. So he said, "Go ask Dean Xiao."
Manbao asked curiously, "Doctor Liu, are you familiar with spices?"
"I'm not familiar with it," said Doctor Liu. "Everyone has their own specialties. The one in the Imperial Hospital who's most familiar with spices is probably the retired Doctor Ji."
Manbao felt very sorry when she heard this. She was not familiar with spices, especially medicinal fragrances.
"But there are only a few types of sleeping aid spices nowadays. Let's not talk about whether they are useful to Lord Wei. Even if they are useful, will Lord Wei use them?"
"Why not?"
“Because it’s expensive!”
Manbao then fell silent. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's alright. I'll let His Majesty send me off when the time comes."
Doctor Liu fell silent.
Doctor Old Tan and Dean Xiao were impressed by Zhou Man's medical skills. After going in to see the treatment plan decided by Zhou Man, they felt that there was nothing to add, so they excused themselves and went down the mountain.
Manbao felt that Doctor Tan was very capable. Before, they had only met on Yin Huo's illness. This time, because of Lord Wei, when they discussed the disease, she discovered that there was such a capable old doctor in the capital who would not let her go no matter what.
So he stood up and asked, "Old Doctor Tan, when will you return to Beijing?"
Doctor Tan smiled and said, "It's already late today. If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will return to the capital tomorrow."
Manbao immediately said, "I'll go back with you."
Manbao took the opportunity to ask Xiao Yuanzheng for leave, as she had to go back to find the book.
Xiao Yuanzheng looked at her steadily for a while, then nodded slightly.
Manbao felt that his gaze was a little strange, but after a brief thought, his thoughts were washed away by the excitement of traveling with Doctor Tan.
She happily said to Doctor Tan, "The weather is too hot, so I didn't bring a carriage this time. Doctor Tan, do you mind if I ride with you?"
Doctor Tan smiled and said, "I don't mind."
Doctor Liu, standing by, couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Zhou, isn't he going to go back as fast as he can?"
Man Bao said, "I suddenly remembered that the Imperial Observatory said that we should be careful when going out these days due to the scorching sun. So I think we should take care of ourselves."
What else could Doctor Liu say?
Imperial Physician Old Tan went to say goodbye to the Emperor, and took the opportunity to tell him and Lord Wei the treatment plan they had discussed.
One is to resign and rest. There is no need to explain this in detail, as everyone knows it is impossible.
The second way is to work while recuperating. It is not certain whether it can be cured, but you should try your best to control it from getting worse.
The emperor and Wei Zhi both chose the second option.
Because acupuncture is used and Zhou Manhui has been accompanying her at the palace, Wei Zhi became her exclusive patient.
Well, there is also the emperor, who is also ill at this time.
Man Bao mentioned the sleeping incense and said to the emperor, "I will go back tomorrow with Doctor Tan to get some medical books to study."
Emperor: "Cramming?"
Manbao said, "I will try my best to hold on to it and make it work."
The emperor couldn't argue with her, so he curled his lips and agreed.
Manbao happily excused himself and, while he still had time, ran to find Changyu. "I'm going back to the capital tomorrow. Do you want me to bring you some food?"
Chang Yu's eyes lit up and he asked, "What are you going back to the capital for? I'll go back with you."
"It's so hot, you came here to escape the heat, why are you following me back?" Manbao said, "I'm going back to find medical books."
When Chang Yu heard this, he asked worriedly, "Is Father's illness serious?"
In the past two days, he had invited Dean Xiao and Doctor Liu, and today he had even invited Doctor Tan. However, when she went to pay her respects to her father, his face looked fine, and he was handling his official business as usual. If it weren't for the smell of medicine in his bedroom and her watching him drink the medicine, she would have almost thought that her father was faking illness.
The emperor wanted to take a two-day break, but because of Wei Zhi's illness, he was unable to do so.
Man Bao said: "It's not serious, don't worry, it will be fine in a few days. But I want to find some prescriptions for sleeping incense and sleeping pills, so I have to go back and look up medical advice."
Chang Yu was stunned for a moment before saying, "Sleeping incense? I have this thing. As for the book, I remember Mingda has a few perfume recipes. Do you want to ask?"
"OK."
Changyu and Manbao went hand in hand to look for Mingda. On the way, he said, "When you come back, please bring me some braised meat from the East Market. While you're there, please bring me some fried chestnuts and roast chicken from Jiufulou. It's a pity that fish sashimi is not easy to take out. It has to be eaten fresh..."
"By the way, the tofu pudding your sister-in-law makes is delicious too."
Man Bao understood what Ya meant and said immediately, "I'll ask my sister-in-law to make it when I get back. Well, if you put the tofu pudding in water to cool it down, it will be very delicious."
Changyu became happy and dragged her to quicken her pace, "Let's go and ask Mingda if she wants to eat anything."
Mingda didn't have any, but Bai Erlang had a lot of things he wanted to eat, mainly because the food in the palace was much lighter than that in the capital.
The most important thing is that in the capital they can go out shopping and eating from time to time, but in the palace, they can go out riding hunting from time to time, and they can also go to the fields to pick some fruits and vegetables from time to time, but there is no market for them to visit.
Bai Erlang is greedy.
Chang Yu also said: "It was fine at first, but after a few days, my mouth almost lost its taste."
Manbao was also greedy, especially since they had ordered so many dishes, so he swallowed his saliva and said, "I'll buy them all for you!"
Then everyone ate together. It was not because she was greedy, but because she bought it for the princesses.
Manbao also quietly asked Bai Shan, "What do you want to eat? I will add it to the menu when the time comes and say it is what Changyu wants."
Bai Shan suppressed a smile and said, "You framed me fairly and openly."
Manbao said, "Changyu won't mind."
Bai Shan thought for a moment and then whispered, "My sister-in-law shouldn't be in the capital right now, but in Pu Village. It's not far from there. If you want to eat, send someone back after you go out. There's a farm at the foot of the mountain. Have my sister-in-law and her men deliver the food to the foot of the mountain, and then have Princess Changyu send someone down to get it. There's no need to go through so much trouble."
I also took so many things with me on my rare trip back to Beijing.
Manbao's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Bai Shan smiled and touched her hair, whispering, "This time when you go back, take Daji and the others with you and ask them to run errands for you so they don't get exposed to the sun."
Manbao nodded to show that he understood.
See you at 6pm
