Chapter 2797 Luoyang Jishitang
The princess' words still carry a lot of weight. From today onwards, Prince Gong and the young prince are destined to live in dire straits.
Under the threat of the princess, the young prince, with tears in his eyes, asked Zhou Man to examine him from head to toe. At the same time, with the help of the princess and the palace maids and eunuchs, he got to know the diet and daily routine of the father and son in the past six months.
There are more than twenty pages of Manbao's notebooks.
She glanced at what she had written down and shook her head, then said directly to the patient's family member, Princess Wang: "I have to go back and think about a weight loss plan. I'm afraid it will take more than a day or two to get results."
The princess was fortunate enough to see Zhou Man's weight loss plan for Prince Gong. It was indeed not something that could be done in a day or two. After all, even the time when Prince Gong would drink water and go to the toilet was calculated.
She hurriedly said, "Master Zhou, please go ahead. I'll keep an eye on the prince and the crown prince. If you need anything, just tell the servants in the mansion."
Manbao agreed with a smile and communicated directly with the princess, "Nothing, it's just that I have never been to Luoyang and I want to go out for a walk."
The princess immediately said, "I will provide Master Zhou with a carriage and a driver, and bring a few servants. Master Zhou can just tell them where to go."
Manbao smiled and said, "I brought a guard and a maid with me when I came here, so I don't need servants. I'll just bother the coachman in the mansion."
Seeing that she was willing to accept the offer, the princess smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Sir Zhou, if you need anything, just ask. You've come from afar, so it's only right that we do our best to be your hosts."
Not to mention that she has a good relationship with Mingda Changyu, she is also a confidant of the Eastern Palace and a favorite of the Emperor and Empress. Now that their lineage of Prince Gong is far away from the political center and will have to rely on the Crown Prince in the future, they need to make more good connections.
The princess is different from Prince Gong. She doesn't want to offend Zhou Man.
Prince Gong hummed on the side, but no one paid any attention to him.
The princess escorted Zhou Man out of the house. Once outside, she said with a worried look on her face, "Master Zhou, the prince's leg..."
She struggled with the feeling, saying, "Even though it's not snowing anymore, it still hurts and it's hard to sleep at night."
So after the winter came, Prince Gong grew fatter. If he only gained 20 kilograms of weight this year, then 15 kilograms of it was gained after the winter came.
He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep, so he wanted to eat more, especially meat. Because his legs hurt and he didn't want to move, he became even fatter.
Man Bao said, "I already have a method for treatment, but I still need to prepare some things. So, let's prepare first. In the evening before going to bed, I will go to the main courtyard to treat Your Highness, and then you can go to sleep after the treatment."
The princess smiled with relief and said hurriedly, "Master Zhou, just list whatever you need to prepare. I'll have the servants prepare it."
Manbao nodded and said, "I'll make a list later. I'll just have to go out and pick out some of the things that are convenient for me."
The princess understood the meaning of the voice and immediately said with a smile, "I will have someone prepare a carriage for Lord Zhou."
Manbao returned to his room and asked Xibing to prepare paper and pen. He first listed all the things needed for treatment and handed them to the servants in the palace, then packed up and went out.
Daji also washed up and rested for a while. Now he was in high spirits and pulled his horse to follow Zhou Man.
Xibing felt it was too cold, so he took out a cloak and put it on Zhou Man.
Manbao hurried out, and when he passed the guest house a few yards away, he paused and turned to ask, "Are the eunuchs who came with us staying here?"
Xibing was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Daji.
Daji said calmly, "The officials from the Imperial Guard live here, and the eunuchs live elsewhere."
Manbao nodded and said to Daji, "Ask them whether they want to return to Beijing or stay here for the New Year. If they want to stay, I'll send them some money. It's a pity for them to waste their time following me here."
Daji agreed.
The palace had prepared a carriage for Zhou Man. When they saw Zhou Man coming out, they immediately put down a stool for her to step on.
Manbao took a look at the carriage before stepping on it. It was not very luxurious, but it was not narrow either. The most important thing was that the emblem of Prince Gong's Mansion was printed on the wall of the carriage.
Manbao was very satisfied and got on the carriage with a smile.
Xibing followed Manbao and told the driver, "Go to Jishitang."
When we entered the city this morning, Manager Zheng and his men stopped at the Helai Inn, but Jishidiang was just half a street past the Helai Inn.
The servants in the palace thought she was going to Jishidiang to buy something, so they went straight to Jishidiang without any suspicion.
As soon as Manbao entered Jishitang, a waiter came forward and greeted her, "Miss, would you like to get some medicine or see a doctor?"
Manbao glanced around and asked, "Has the shopkeeper Zheng from the capital come here?"
The doctor who was calculating the bill at the counter looked up and looked Zhou Man up and down, then handed the matter over to the medicine boy. He immediately came out with a smile and saluted, "Is this Doctor Zhou?"
Manbao nodded.
He then turned sideways and said, "Manager Zheng and our manager are in the backyard. Please come in behind."
As soon as Manager Zheng arrived, he said that he came with Zheng Gu's master, Doctor Zhou, and used the excuse of seeing Prince Gong, so the doctor had been waiting at the counter early in the morning.
Manager Zheng Da and Manager Zheng of Luoyang Jishiditang were sitting in the house in the backyard talking. When they saw Zhou Man coming, they immediately welcomed him in.
Zheng Da, the shopkeeper, and Zhou Man introduced him, saying, "This is my cousin, the ninth in his family." Zheng Si, who was standing nearby, was someone the shopkeeper had sent over earlier. He was in charge of the medicine coming into the capital, and had been helping the shopkeeper since Zheng Gu started school, so Manbao was quite familiar with him. The man nodded, primarily greeting the shopkeeper Zheng Jiu. Manbao called him "Shopkeeper Jiu," and after sitting down, he asked, "How are things?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Jiu immediately said, "I've already received the people sent by my eldest brother and am also making arrangements, but the people in the county government are holding on tightly. Even my niece's wife's brothers from her family have come forward, but they are still unwilling to release her."
"Fortunately, we are not restricted in sending things in. My nephew and his wife have been doing well in prison these past few days. I made a pill of the medicine to maintain the pregnancy and sent it in. I secretly took his pulse yesterday. Although he was a little frightened, he was fine." He continued, "We spent a lot of money to have the couple imprisoned together. We also secretly sent a pair of needles to my nephew. With him here, my niece's wife will be fine for the time being."
Manager Zheng had already heard all this once, and he was only telling it to Zhou Man.
Manbao frowned. "They're willing to keep the couple locked up together, but why won't they release An Erniang? She's just a family member. What Zheng Gu did isn't a big deal. It won't bring harm to the family, right?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Jiu sighed and said, "It's probably about the account books. I heard that the county government is looking for the account books for my nephew's purchase of medicinal herbs, but my nephew has been refusing to reveal where they are, so the county government has been holding him captive and refusing to let him know."
Manbao perked up and asked, "Don't they know that we have someone coming from the capital?"
"No... you don't know. I'm familiar with this place. I was the one who showed up when Fourth Brother came."
