Chapter 3237: Asking for Gratitude (Reward for Book Friend "阿盈儿y")
Master Tang couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"
Mrs. Tang grabbed his hand and pulled it away. "No, I just feel a little uneasy. I think I said something I shouldn't have said. I don't know if I got into trouble."
This was a rare sight, and Lord Tang became interested and asked, "What did you say?"
On the other side, Zhou Man was excitedly writing a letter.
She wrote the two letters so carefully that she didn't even go out for dinner.
Bai Shan brought in a bowl of noodles, placed it on the table and said, "Eat something first."
Zhou Man responded with two "hmm" sounds, but did not raise his head.
Bai Shan couldn't help but be curious, "Are you writing a memorial?"
"No, I'm writing a letter to Mingda and the Crown Princess." Zhou Man finally finished writing and then carefully checked it. After making sure there were no mistakes or omissions, she slowly blew the ink dry and carefully put it away. She smiled happily, "Thanks to Mrs. Tang Xue, I came up with a good idea to open a school for the Imperial Medical Bureau."
"What's a good idea?"
"I would like to suggest to the Empress and the Crown Princess that they open a girls' school in the capital!"
Bai Shan was slightly stunned, scratched his head and said, "I seem to have vaguely heard someone mention that the Empress wanted to open a women's school in the Imperial College, but the court officials rejected it."
"If we don't run it in the Imperial College, we can start in the capital, just like a private school," Zhou Man said. "Of course, it would be best if we could open a women's school in the Imperial College in the future."
Bai Shan nodded, and thought of something, then he smiled and said, "If the Imperial College really opens a women's school, then our eldest sister will be able to study there in the future."
Zhou Man's eyes lit up and he slammed the table fiercely, "Yes, how could I forget? I am a princess now, I can grant her admission to the Imperial College."
The prerequisite is that there is a girls' school in the Imperial College.
Zhou Man looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan also fell into deep thought. "This matter is not urgent, but if it is brought up again in the court, I will definitely agree to it. I am not sure about the others in the court, but I can guarantee that I can convince Minister Liu."
Although he is old, he is very open-minded. On the contrary, some younger people are not as open-minded as Minister Liu. I heard that the people who opposed the Queen's memorial the most were the young and middle-aged officials in the court.
Zhou Man also searched in his mind, "Xuexiong Yang is also in the court, he will definitely stand on our side. As for the others, I can try with Han Shangshu. I performed a cesarean section on his daughter. I can also try with Pi Guogong. Not to mention that I once saved his son. If the Crown Princess comes forward, he should stand on his daughter's side, right?"
Bai Shan: "Actually, the most important thing about this matter is what Confucius thinks. If he agrees, then most of the students in the world will not object."
Kong Jijiu is the role model for scholars in the Jin Dynasty.
Zhou Man thought about it seriously.
If you want to convince Kong Jijiu, you can't talk about human feelings, but you have to talk about reason.
Zhou Man suddenly felt that he had not read enough books. "Can we win an argument with Kong Jijiu?"
Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, "Shall I start with the Analects and review the books I've already read?"
Zhou Man nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll leave this matter to you. From now on, I'll leave the discussion with Kong Jijiu to you."
Bai Shan pushed the noodles in front of her eyes and said, "Eat quickly, or they will become clumpy."
Zhou Man took the chopsticks with a smile and said, "Send someone to help me deliver the letter tomorrow."
"good."
It's not easy to travel to the capital, so of course I can't just deliver two letters. So after Bai Shan finished his boxing, showered, and had breakfast, he went to find Tang He and asked, "Is there anything I can deliver to the capital?"
Tang He looked at him with a complicated expression, "Are you going to deliver a letter to the capital?"
Bai Shan nodded.
Seeing his calm expression, Tang He asked, "Manbao... suggested that the Queen open a girls' school?"
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "It's just a girls' school, why does Brother Tang care so much?"
Tang He said, "My father's prestige is not as high as Lord Wei's. Since Lord Wei passed away, some old officials in the court have died of illness or retired. Few young officials in the court today have witnessed the prestige of the queen."
"If you've never seen a storm, how can you know the vastness of the ocean? Especially now that the literary spirit of the Great Jin is strong, young students from all over the country have gathered in the capital, and there are good and bad people among them. The slightest bit of news will spread and it will cause an uproar." Tang He said: "Zhou Man is a woman in the court. The officials in the court have few objections, but there are always some negative voices among the people. If she proposes to open a girls' school..."
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "We can't ignore the majority of good voices just because of some bad ones, right?"
He looked at Tang He with a stern gaze, "This is what she wants to do. If she wants to do it, then let her do it. If there's any trouble, we can smooth it over together."
What else could Tang He say? He could only say, "I wish you all the best."
Bai Shan nodded and asked again: "Is there anything you want to take to the capital?"
"Yes," Tang He stood up and said, "I won't let you take the important things, so please help me take two letters and a memorial."
Bai Shan nodded.
By the time these things were delivered to the capital, Tang He's wound had healed and he was finally able to go out.
He refused to stay for almost a day and immediately asked people to pack up and prepare to go to Laizhou.
Mrs. Tang naturally wanted to go with him, so she took the initiative to take over the packing. Tang He stretched out in the yard with a refreshed look on his face and shouted into the house, "I'm going to the medical office to find Zhou Man to get some spare medicine."
"Go ahead," Mrs. Tang said, looking out. "Take the money with you, and don't buy on credit anymore. You'll be a disgrace to me."
Tang He agreed readily and went out with a fat purse.
Zhou Man had just finished seeing a patient and was making medicine in the pharmacy.
Tang He went to find her with his hands behind his back.
"Your pharmacy is really well-equipped."
Zhou Man: "It's OK, just average."
Tang He looked at the various bottles and jars on the shelf. They had medicine names written on them, and he could only figure out the uses of half of them. Very few of them were liquid medicines, so he asked, "What kind of medicine was that precious liquid medicine you gave me earlier?"
Zhou Man paused while pounding the medicine and looked up at him. "Did you hear that?"
Tang He nodded, "I'm confused, but I still have some feelings."
Zhou Man lowered his head and continued to pound the medicine, saying nonchalantly, "You drank it all."
Tang He was very curious, "What kind of medicine is that? It doesn't seem to be on the prescription you gave me."
He only realized that the item was not on the list after Mrs. Tang settled the bill with the medical office, so he asked this question.
Zhou Man said, "That's not medicine from the medical department, it's my own medicine. I'm giving it to you as a favor. But if you insist on paying for it, I won't stop you."
Tang He: "...Forget it, I'll remember your favor." Although he was confused at the time, he vaguely heard that every drop was precious, and she would be heartbroken if she spilled even a drop.
Zhou Man was afraid that he would continue to ask what medicine it was, so he quickly changed the subject, "Actually, I need your...father's help. How about repaying the favor?"
"...Isn't it too soon to repay the favor?" Tang He said:
good evening
