Chapter 3383 Extra Strong Sister 37
Bai Jingxing looked at him and suspected that he was unable to produce flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds and animals, so he wanted to travel with her and curry her favor.
Mr. Wei: ...Nonsense, of course I can't afford it. As local medical offices sprang up everywhere, Zhou Man's fame grew. It reached its peak within two years of her becoming the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and it has remained at the top until now.
The people in Lingnan area also heard about the great achievements of Mr. Zhou.
Everyone knew that this Lady Zhou had never been to Lingnan, so when many people learned that she would provide free medical treatment for anyone who had never seen a plant, insect, fish, bird or animal before, they all ran to Lingnan, either to look for it themselves or to pay a large sum of money to look for it.
Over the past decade, Zhou Man has received a lot of things every year. Except for the things that Koko collected when she was away on business trips, the rest came from people who asked Zhou Man for help.
Mr. Wei naturally knew this, and anything that could persuade Zhou Man to travel to Lingnan must not be ordinary, something he had never seen before, or it must not be just one kind.
You know, the other people who sought medical treatment came to Zhou Man in person, but she was irresponsible and sent herself to the patients.
That's why Mr. Wei has been traveling around in recent years, just to find something that can make Zhou Man excited.
However, I didn't find the thing, but I happened to meet Zhou Man's daughter. Isn't this also a way?
Mr. Wei asked, "Has there been any new editions of 'Everything Under Heaven' published in the past two years?"
Zhou Man had previously wanted to list all the medicinal herbs that could be used as medicine, so she collected and recorded things, intending to write a book called "Wancao Ji", but later found that this name could not encompass what she wanted to write.
So it was changed to "Everything in the World".
Such a huge book was beyond her ability to complete alone, so she used the compilation authority of Chongwenguan and sought help from many officials of lower ranks to compile the book together.
She was responsible for drawing the things that Keke had collected, writing down its main uses, growing environment, and even elements such as planting and picking, and submitting the manuscript to Chongwenguan.
The Chongwenguan then classified these into categories and compiled them into books.
It is because of them that books can be published so frequently. Otherwise, if Zhou Man were to be responsible for the compilation, it would probably take until she retires before the first book could be published.
Bai Jingxing said, "It's the fifth volume now. I wonder which one Mr. Wei has read."
"The fifth one, it seems I haven't missed anything," he sighed. "I wonder how many manuscripts your mother still has. She's collected quite a bit. The flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds and animals in these mountains are mostly the same. How can I be sure she hasn't seen what I bring?"
"I'm not sure, so it depends a lot on luck," Bai Jingxing said. "It was also to provide guidance to those in need that my mother rushed to publish 'Everything Under Heaven'. Otherwise, she would be so busy, how could she have the time and energy to write and paint?"
In order to draw these things well, Zhou Man’s painting skills have improved a lot over the years.
Of course, most of the paintings were drawn by Bai Shan, and her main task was to write down their attributes on the side of the drawings.
Bai Shan drew according to the drawings printed by Zhou Man, all of which she downloaded and printed from the encyclopedia by paying points.
She used to earn points by adding these things to the encyclopedia, but she never imagined that many years later, she would spend points again to download and print these things from the encyclopedia.
This is truly reincarnation.
Of course, Bai Jingxing didn't know all this. He just saw Mr. Wei praising his mother so much. From the City God Temple to the county town, whether they were walking or riding horses, Mr. Wei surrounded Bai Jingxing and praised Zhou Man non-stop.
Thanks to his mother, Bai Jingxing was able to ride Mr. Wei's donkey for a while and achieved the achievement of riding a donkey for the first time.
Wang Shanheng, who had been following behind all the way, watched Mr. Wei follow Bai Jingxing and his group into the inn, and he refused to go with them to live with Wang's relatives no matter what.
Wang Shanheng had a look of confusion on his face. The reason he was chasing after Mr. Wei was to ask him to come out and assist the Wang family, to be their aide, and also to be his eldest brother's advisor.
As a result, despite all the work he had done during this period, Mr. Wei remained indifferent to him, and Bai Jingxing attracted him with the name "Zhou Man".
Wang Yun had been silent ever since she learned of Bai Jingxing's identity. Seeing her uncle's worried look, she said, "Uncle, why don't I go talk to Miss Bai?"
"What are we talking about?" Wang Shanheng asked, "Mr. Wei hasn't agreed to be my Wang family's staff. He comes and goes as the wind blows, and the young lady from the Bai family can't be his boss. Even if she could, why would she agree to us?"
"Miss Bai seems easy to talk to. I think if we ask her sincerely, she will agree to help persuade Mr. Wei." Wang Yun said, "After all, wandering around is not as good as having a stable home, and Mr. Wei is old."
Wang Shanheng didn't think there would be any result. He said, "Mr. Wei himself is not someone who is content with mediocrity."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to run after the other party for so long without letting go.
But it wouldn't hurt to let Wang Yun give it a try, anyway...
Wang Shanheng turned around and ordered, "Go get a few rooms. We'll stay at the post station too."
Forget it. Even if I can't invite Mr. Wei, it would be good to build good relationships with Yang Zezhi, Bai Jingxing and others and cultivate some friendships.
He recognized Yang Zezhi, but he didn't expect that Bai Xiang and Lord Zhou's daughter were also there. Compared with Yang Zezhi, Bai Jingxing was obviously more valuable.
Bai Jingxing placed his luggage on the table and took off his shoes while asking, "Has the county government sent someone to notify them?"
"Just now, when I passed by Young Master Yang's door, I heard him instructing his guards to do it. The main road should be open soon."
Bai Jingxing: "Our books are still up there. I wonder if it will rain tonight..."
"My wife, please get up first. I'll tidy up the bedding." Qian Xiaoyang pulled Bai Jingxing, but Bai Jingxing didn't move. She had been walking for most of the day, and the road was a mixture of mud and water. She was exhausted both physically and mentally, so she didn't want to move.
Qian Xiaoyang was so strong, but he couldn't pull the door open the first time. After a pause, when he was considering whether to continue pulling, there was a knock on the door.
Now that was good, Bai Jingxing got up on his own without her persuasion.
She looked down at her dirty shoes and stained skirt and sighed, "I didn't have time to change. How rude."
But since we were all acquaintances, we just pretended not to see it. Bai Jingxing ran to open the door.
As soon as she opened it, she met Wang Yun's gaze. She was slightly startled, but quickly reacted, "Excuse me, the house is still being cleaned up. Madam Wang, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"My uncle and I also live in the post station," Wang Yun said with a smile, "I came to see Lady Bai because I have something to say. We..."
Bai Jingxing smiled and said, "Then let's go downstairs and talk, and have someone prepare some food."
She had been eating dry food for a few days and had hardly eaten anything today, so she was very hungry.
When passing by the door next to her, Wang Yun couldn't help but stop and said, "Mrs. Bai, do you want to call Young Master Yang?"
"No need. Brother Yang has a lot of things to do. He needs to wash up later. Let's talk first." She just had to go back to Yang Zezhi when she encountered something she couldn't decide. The most important thing was, what did she want to eat later?
It can satisfy your cravings without affecting your dinner later in the evening...
Good night
