Chapter 2654 Prescription
Zhou Lijun took a piece of clothing and touched it, exclaiming, "It's so soft."
Man Bao said, "After all, these are things for the emperor's grandson. The prince and the queen collected a lot of things at that time. In fact, they should be left to the next child. They will be more comfortable to wear."
She opened the four bundles and waved, "Come on, divide it between the two of you."
Zhou Lijun was also a first-time mother and was very curious. "Don't you differentiate between boys and girls? What if I give birth to a girl? Wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to wear the clothes of the little emperor's grandson?"
Manbao had no experience either, so he said, "There shouldn't be a distinction. I've treated many children in the palace, and I think the clothes they wear are all the same."
Xiao Qian, who was standing by, said with a smile, "There's no difference between boys and girls for newborn babies. They can all wear clothes."
So the aunt and sister-in-law divided it up.
Manbao helped them fold their clothes and put them in their bags, then asked, "When will Mingxue and the others be back?"
Zhou Lijun stroked his belly and said, "He wrote back saying he'd be back in early August. I reckon it'll be in the next few days."
They are about to give birth, so I hope to catch up.
Manbao pondered for a moment and said, "We need to prepare the necessary things for the delivery. You can find a room in your respective courtyards. I'll have someone set it up as a delivery room later."
Xiao Qian was stunned and asked, "Why not give birth in your own room?"
Manbao smiled and said, "It would be better to rearrange the delivery room."
Liu Sanniang also nodded. Generally, families who had enough time would set up another room as a delivery room. After giving birth, the mother could just clean up and move back to her own room.
If there is a problem, it is more convenient to stay in the delivery room for treatment than to go back to the living room, because the living room is full of things and filth, which may not be beneficial to the mother and child.
Of course, most people don’t care about this.
There were quite a lot of rooms in Zhou's house, and they quickly chose a room in the yard where they lived to use as a delivery room.
Manbao personally led Wu Yue and others to make the arrangements, and also fumigated the house with Atractylodes lancea.
Since she didn't have to go to the yamen in the afternoon, Manbao could enjoy her vacation. She went to the pharmacy to think about preparing emergency medicine for Liu Sanniang and Zhou Lijun. As she was thinking, she couldn't help but put down the book in her hand and took out the two prescriptions from the book next to her to look at them.
This is the prescription she and Doctor Tan came up with for Wei Zhi. One is a decoction and the other is a pill.
Now Wei Zhi is taking the pill recipe.
Manbao had just taken Wei Zhi's pulse and given him acupuncture a few days ago, and knew that his health had not improved much. Bai Shan said that the reform of the salt tax was not going smoothly. Last month, the censor and the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel who were sent to Jiangnan to inspect government affairs fell ill in Yangzhou. The censor surnamed Fang died before he could even be sent back to the capital.
Even the emperor was furious, so Xiao Yuanzheng prescribed him two doses of medicine to calm his mind and clear his internal heat.
Manbao looked at the prescription in his hand in deep thought, then stood up and went to find the medicine on the shelf. After weighing the correct amount, he hesitated for a moment, then said loudly, "Xibing, prepare the fire. I want to make pills."
Xibing responded and turned to prepare the stove and pot.
Manbao ground the medicinal materials that needed to be processed bit by bit, and those that needed to be prepared were prepared, and those that needed to be boiled were boiled.
She was busy until evening, and finally she mixed all the herbs and refined honey together. As she was mixing, Manbao said, "Go get some new porcelain bottles."
Xibing responded and turned to look for the porcelain bottle.
Manbao stood up and closed the door.
She took out the half bottle of medicine that she had kept sealed, feeling a little reluctant.
"Fortunately, this potion is not very volatile. It condenses in the pill. I wonder if it will change the color of the pill."
Keke: "Host, you will know if you try it."
Manbao poured it all in. The green color mixed with the dark brown ointment, and the color was a bit... weird.
Manbao looked at it for a while and then started stirring it quickly.
As I stirred it, I found that the medicine was very stubborn. It would not dissolve in the pills and stubbornly remained green. Although it had been stirred, a little green in the dark brown... looked weird.
Manbao tried to stir it vigorously, but it still didn't work, so he could only wash his hands and roll them into meatballs.
She placed the rolled balls on the gauze pad, feeling very sad. "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have mixed it with the balls. It would have been better to find an excuse to prescribe him a decoction to mix with it."
Koko said nothing.
Manbao worked tirelessly to make the balls, and finally made twenty of them. This amount...
Manbao quickly picked out five, pulled out some and rubbed them into the other fifteen.
She then weighed it and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the weight was about right.
Xibing brought two bottles back to her, and Manbao put seven in one bottle and eight in the other...
Xibing stared at the pills and hesitated, "Sir, why do I feel like these balls are a little green? Is it because it's too hot... But that's not right, you made them fresh."
Manbao said, "It's okay. I added a new medicine, so the color is a little different."
"Really?" Xibing had made many pills for them, but he had never seen any pills of this color, so he was a little surprised for a moment.
Manbao glanced outside and guessed that Wei Zhi had also left the palace, so he stood up and was about to go out. When he reached the door, he ran into Bai Shan and couldn't help but smiled and said, "You're back?"
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, then asked, "Are you going out?"
Manbao said, "I want to deliver medicine to Lord Wei."
Bai Shan turned around and went out with her, asking, "Hasn't the Imperial Hospital prepared the medicine for Lord Wei and sent it over?"
"Well," Manbao said vaguely, "I came up with a new prescription and wanted to try it on Lord Wei before going back to trouble the Imperial Hospital, so I made it myself. Let me give it to him first to see how it works."
The two of them went to visit the Wei family together.
Wei Yu knew that his father was in poor health. Since returning to the capital, he and Princess Changyu had been living at the Wei residence. When he heard the servants report that they had arrived together, he went out to greet them personally, "Why did you come together?"
Manbao asked with a smile, "I'm here to see Lord Wei. Has he left the yamen?"
"Down, in the study."
Manbao nodded to Baishan and went to see Weizhi alone.
Wei Zhi saw the two bottles of medicine in front of him and asked with a smile, "The Imperial Hospital just sent me new medicine the day before yesterday, and I haven't finished it yet."
Manbao said, "The pills can be kept for quite a while. You can keep that one for later. You can take these two bottles first."
She said, "This is a new recipe I came up with. Please try it."
Wei Zhi had just finished his dinner and hadn't taken his medicine yet, so he reached out and opened a bottle of medicine, poured out a pill, and was about to tilt his head back to swallow it, but when he saw the color of the pill, he hesitated for a moment, "That hint of green on it..."
Manbao coughed lightly and said, "I made this myself. Because I added a new medicinal juice, the color is a little strange, but don't worry, it's absolutely fresh. If you don't believe me, touch it and see if it's still warm. In fact, it should be air-dried for a while."
Manbao: This green is not ordinary green
See you tomorrow
One more notice, the double monthly ticket will be valid from the 29th to the 31st of this month. I remembered it wrong before.
