Chapter 923: Beijing Jishitang
Mr. Zhuang said to Bai Shan, "Don't keep everything in your heart. The human heart is so small. If you put too much in it, it won't be able to hold it. If it overflows and you don't speak out, it will naturally affect your liver. If your heart and liver are not well, your whole body will feel uncomfortable."
Man Bao, standing by, was stunned. He couldn't help but give a thumbs-up and said, "Sir, you're amazing! I hadn't thought of that. The heart circulates blood, while the liver stores it. The heart stores the spirit, while the liver regulates the flow of emotions. If there are too many things on your mind, blood circulation will be impaired. Wouldn't that damage the liver?"
Mr. Zhuang: ...No, that’s not what I meant.
Looking at Manbao's bright eyes again, Mr. Zhuang said to himself: Forget it, let them be, as long as they are happy.
Bai Shan became thoughtful and asked, "Who can I tell if I have something on my mind?"
Manbao immediately raised her hand, but Bai Erlang pushed her away and said, "You are a girl, you are not with us, Shanbao, please tell me if you have any worries in the future."
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "You can also talk to me about it."
Bai Dalang watched from the side and felt ignored.
He sighed, and Bai Erlang heard it, so he turned around and said to him, "Brother, why are you sighing? Are you worried about something? Do you want to tell me?"
Bai Dalang pushed his face away from him and said, "Go away."
After returning home from the temple, Mr. Zhuang began to ask people around the Imperial College about the students who had enrolled this time. He said, "Although you can definitely get into the Imperial College, the situation of the six academies is still different. If you can get into the Imperial College, don't let yourself end up in the Imperial College. If you can get into the Imperial College, try not to go to the four academies."
Mr. Zhuang said, "Find out about the students this time and who set the exam questions. Don't go anywhere these days. Stay home and study with me to prepare for the exam."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang felt the pressure doubled, only Manbao still studied with the same intensity as before. She chuckled, and Mr. Zhuang looked at her. She immediately shrank her head and whispered, "Sir, I still have to settle my brother and nephews, and I have to go to Jishitang."
Mr. Zhuang then turned his gaze away from her, and Manbao breathed a sigh of relief.
While Bai Shan and the others were climbing the mountain, Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang also familiarized themselves with the surroundings, found a place selling vegetables, and learned about the vegetable prices in the capital.
Not to mention, the vegetables in Beijing are more expensive than those in the countryside, but the meat is slightly cheaper than theirs.
The two of them led Big Head and Second Head, well, you have to call them by their full names when you go out, Zhou Lizhong and Zhou Liwei. The two older ones led the two younger ones around this neighborhood and found that there were few people here, and there were basically no laborers squatting on the street waiting for work.
Liu Gui, who had arrived a few days earlier than them, said, "This is the inner city. If you want to find a place like that, you have to go to the outer city."
"Is the outer city far?"
"It's not far. Just outside our block's South Gate is the Outer City."
Zhou Wulang decided to go out and take a look tomorrow, and Manbao wanted to go with him, "I want to go to Jishiditang."
Liu Gui smiled and said, "Miss Man, I've asked around. There are four Jishitang restaurants in the capital, and there's one in our neighborhood. Which one would you like to go to?"
Manbao blinked and asked, "Looking for a shopkeeper named Zheng Yue. Which shop is he in?"
"That's quite a coincidence! He's in the Jishitang in our neighborhood. He's the second owner of the Jishitang. I heard he's in charge of all four medicine shops in the capital."
Manbao smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's him. Doctor Ji said that we should look for him when we get to the capital."
So the next day, the Zhou family members split up. Zhou Lijun stayed at home to get familiar with the neighbors, Zhou Wulang and his friends went for a stroll in the outer city, and Manbao was sent by Daji to Jishiditang in the neighborhood.
Manbao originally wanted to go by herself carrying the small backpack, but Baishan was worried, so Daji insisted on taking her there.
Anyway, the young master is safe at home and doesn't go out, and other people should not be in danger if they go out, but Manbao is different. No matter whether danger comes to her or she goes to find danger, there can be no mistakes, so he just has to watch.
The Jishiditang in the capital is even bigger than the one in Yizhou City. It has two floors and the door is particularly wide. Even the door plaque seems more imposing than the one in Yizhou City.
Manbao jumped off the carriage, looked up at the door plaque with his backpack on his back, and after confirming that he was in the right place, he looked towards the bustling Jishidiang.
Daji parked the carriage nearby and walked over to Manbao. Manbao then lamented to him, "There are even more patients here than in Yizhou City. Do people in the capital city get sick so often?"
Daji: "There are many people in the capital."
"That's true, but there are also many medicine shops in the capital. This is the first time in my life that I've seen three medicine shops in a row. Even the three shops across the street are all clustered together."
That’s right, Manbao smelled a strong aroma of medicine as soon as he entered the street. Then he looked outside and found that not only was Jishidiang sandwiched between two drugstores on the left and right, but even the three shops opposite were drugstores.
Manbao carefully compared the businesses of the six families and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, Jishidiang's business is not the worst."
Although it doesn’t look the best, but being neither too good nor too bad is the long-term path of moderation, isn’t it?
Manbao went in carrying a backpack. She looked around and saw three door curtains. There were many patients sitting or standing in front of each curtain, probably waiting to see a doctor.
Looking towards the counter, there was a young man and three teenagers behind him. One was doing the bill, while the other three took the prescription and quickly took and weighed the medicine. They were very busy.
Manbao took out Doctor Ji's letter from her bosom and was about to go to the counter to ask questions when an old lady reached out and grabbed her and said, "Young lady, why aren't you queuing up?"
Manbao paused, turned around, walked behind her and lined up silently.
The old lady was satisfied when she saw this and scolded her, "You know that you have to queue up to see a doctor and get medicine? We are so old and we are queuing up, why are you young people pushing your way in?"
Manbao nodded to show that he accepted the teaching.
After waiting in line for two quarters of an hour, it was her turn. The old lady handed in the prescription, paid the money, and stood aside waiting for the medicine to be filled. Manbao stepped forward and handed the letter to the young man who was doing the accounting. "I was recommended by Doctor Ji of Yizhou City. I would like to meet the shopkeeper Zheng."
Hearing this, the young man looked her up and down and asked with a smile, "Young lady, your last name is Zhou, right?"
Manbao nodded.
The young man smiled and said, "The head shopkeeper received a letter from Doctor Ji and has been waiting for you." He glanced at the person behind her, thought for a moment, handed the letter to her, and called a young man who was getting medicine, saying, "Stop for a moment and take Miss Zhou to the backyard to find the head shopkeeper."
"yes."
The old lady at the side looked at Manbao in surprise as he followed the young man who was getting medicine to the backyard. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She couldn't help but ask the young man, "Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng, is this a relative of yours?"
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "She's not a relative, but a friend. She's also a doctor."
"Hey, your pharmacy has female doctors?"
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng smiled and said nothing.
