Chapter 3128: Differentiation between Close and Distant
Zheng Gu and his companions arrived in the evening and went straight to the county government office. Zhou Man was already immersed in Shi Xiaolang's pulse and was not at all interested in the sudden noise in front of the county government office.
It was Jiulan who happily ran over and said, "Madam, Master Zheng is here!"
Zhou Man's mind was still on the printed document in his hand. He looked up at the words, his face confused. "Who?"
"Young Master Zheng Gu Zheng."
Because Zheng Gu and others were Zhou Man's disciples, the servants treated them differently and called them "Young Master" and "Madam".
Zhou Man finally came back to his senses and asked hurriedly, "Did he come here alone? Where is he? Let him in quickly..."
Jiulan agreed with a smile and turned to invite someone, "The master is entertaining people, I will go and invite them over."
As soon as everyone left, Zhou Man hurriedly threw the information in her hand into Keke's space. This was the information about heart failure that Teacher Mo found for her. The bigger her belly got, the less she liked to immerse herself in checking her email, and she preferred to print it out and read it.
Although it costs points, I am willing to pay this amount when the points are full.
After putting away everything on the table that might reveal the secret, she stood up, holding her waist.
Zheng Gu strode over with two of his junior sisters. Seeing Zhou Man standing at the door, he immediately lifted his robe and knelt, "Student greets Master."
Cao Yixuan and Wei Man were stunned for a moment, and quickly knelt down to pay their respects. Zhou Man was already excitedly trying to help them up, "Hurry up, where did this come from?"
Cao Yixuan and Wei Man were held back and could not kneel down, so they could only bow in greeting.
The master and disciple had a lot to say to each other, but with Cao Yixuan and Wei Man around, many things were difficult to ask. Zhou Man could only first introduce the situation of the Qingzhou Medical Bureau, and then looked at Cao Yixuan and Wei Man with the eyes he would look at gold. "I specifically asked Dean Xiao to send a few more female students, but Dean Xiao said that the biggest shortage in various places now is female doctors, so he couldn't give me any. I thought there would be no more this time, but I didn't expect that you two would be sent here. It's really a surprise."
Cao Yixuan and Wei Man lowered their heads embarrassedly.
Zhou Man said, "You came at the perfect time. I'm about to give birth and won't be able to sit in the clinic for a while. Some female patients don't want to see male doctors. When they see only male doctors, they turn around and leave. With you here, I don't have to worry about the situation getting worse."
Cao Yixuan and Wei Man looked at each other and said, "Students listen to their teachers."
Zhou Man nodded slightly and said to the two of them, "You can discuss it later. One of you will stay in Beihai County, and the other will go to Qingzhou City. Both medical offices need a female doctor."
Cao Yixuan and Wei Man widened their eyes. They thought they would follow Zhou Man after arriving, but they didn't expect to be separated as soon as they arrived and to take office directly?
Both of them were a little nervous, and...
The two glanced at each other, both eager to fight. "Teacher, which of us do you think would be better off staying in Beihai County?"
Both of them stared at Zhou Man with sharp eyes.
Neither of them wanted to go to Qingzhou City. The reason they rushed to Qingzhou was that they wanted to learn more from Zhou Man. Moreover, now everyone in the Imperial Medical Bureau knew that Qingzhou was the place where the Imperial Medical Bureau was tested, and its status was extraordinary.
Zhou Man seemed to know what they were worried about and said, "Whether it's Qingzhou City or Beihai County, I'm the governor. I'll be traveling between the two places. No matter where you are, you can learn something from me."
How are they the same?
The two of them thought that since Lord Bai was the county magistrate in Beihai County and the teacher lived in Beihai County, he must have spent more time in Beihai County and was closer to home here.
Seeing that they were unwilling to give in, Zhou Man simply said, "Then let's draw lots."
Both of them were stunned.
Zhou Man had already turned around and said to Zheng Gu, "Go write on two pieces of paper, and get a few more blank paper balls."
Zheng Gu went to write it.
He cut a piece of paper into five pieces, wrote Beihai County and Qingzhou City on two of them, and crumpled up the remaining three pieces, put them together and handed them to Zhou Man.
Zhou Man took it, closed his hand and shook it, then opened it and spread it on the table. Very good, now even the Zheng Gu who had written the round letter himself could not be distinguished.
"Catch it."
The two looked at each other, reached out and grabbed one, opened it, and were lucky, both were empty.
The two became even more nervous, and even Zhou Man and Zheng Gu watched with great interest.
The two of them reached out and grabbed one at the same time, then looked at each other. They knew that this time the winner would be decided. One of the two people's paper balls must have words on it.
Both of them slowly opened the paper ball. Wei Man was stunned and speechless.
Cao Yixuan looked at the empty paper ball in her hand with a nervous expression, then stared at Wei Man.
Wei Man glanced at her, turned the note in his hand towards her, and sighed, "Qingzhou City, I lost."
Zhou Man reached out and opened the remaining paper on the table to show them. There were three small words on it - Beihai County.
She smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled. It's late tonight, so everyone stay overnight. I'll take you to the medical office tomorrow. Wei Man, although you are going to the medical office in Qingzhou City, this is your first time working as a doctor and you have no experience, so you need to stay here for a while to learn. It doesn't need to be long, about half a month will be enough."
Wei Man quickly said, "It's okay if it takes a little longer."
Zhou Man shook his head and laughed, "Wen Tiandong would be sad if he knew."
Both of them lowered their heads and smiled embarrassedly.
"By the way, did you come here alone, or did you bring your family with you?"
Wei Man quickly said: "My brother and sister-in-law came with me. They are here to take care of me."
Cao Yixuan came with her parents.
Both of them came from decent families and had been educated with their fathers and brothers since childhood, so they were able to skip the stage of learning to read and start studying medicine.
Female students who could not read had to spend two to three years learning to read after entering the Imperial Medical Bureau, and also familiarize themselves with some pharmacopoeias before they could begin formal medical studies, which took about eight years.
Now the Imperial Medical Bureau is becoming more and more specialized, with more and more classes being offered. Some children start attending school at the age of seven or eight, and they learn completely from a young age.
The Imperial Medical Bureau also relaxed the requirements for these students, changing the original eight-year study period to ten years. After ten years, if they still failed to pass, they would not be able to graduate or continue studying, and could only stay in the medical bureau and work as apprentices.
Being an apprentice is very tiring, the pay is low, and there is no status.
So those who can graduate can be assigned to Qingzhou, which shows their abilities.
At the same time, their families also value them very much. In the past, their families placed their hopes of bringing honor to the family on their brothers, but now some of the hopes have been transferred to them.
Therefore, they can get support and help from their family just like their fathers and brothers who are officials.
Their parents and brothers and sisters-in-law came along to help take care of them.
Zhou Man nodded and said to the two of them, "There are a few rooms in the yard behind the medical office. They are reserved for doctors and their families to live in. You can move in."
Then he turned to Zheng Gu and said, "There's no place for you. You can only rent a house outside."
Zheng Gu: “…Yes.”
Good night
