Man Bao arrived at Xiao's house a little earlier, and it was time for each family to have dinner, and ordinary guests would not come to the house at this time.
Daji went to knock on the side door of Xiao's house, and after reporting his name, the servants came out and moved the threshold to let them drive in, and said with a smile: "When the master came home, he told the younger ones, please come in, honored guests."
Daji drove the carriage in, reached out to help Manbao down, and then handed over the carriage to them.
Someone will lead them the way.
Xiao Yuanzheng had just returned home not long ago, had just changed his official uniform and cleaned his hands, he didn't even have time to eat, when he heard that Man Bao had arrived, he turned around and went to the front yard, and ordered: "Please invite people to the study in the front yard. "
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly chased him out, and asked, "Master, isn't eating?"
"Just fill your stomach with some snacks."
"The master doesn't eat, the guests also want to eat." Mrs. Xiao only knew that there were guests coming, but she didn't know who the guests were and what they were doing. Seeing that her husband valued it so much, she paid more attention to it, "The guests Come here later, I'm afraid I haven't eaten yet, the master might as well talk with others while eating."
Master Xiao said, "I'll go ask her."
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly followed him to the front yard.
Man Bao was standing in the yard looking at the herbs in his medicine garden, and did not enter the study.
Hearing the movement, Man Bao turned his head and saw Xiao Yuan Zheng and saluted with a smile. When he straightened up, he saw the woman following him, and asked with a smile, "Is this Mrs. Xiao?"
Mrs. Xiao stared at Man Bao blankly, apparently not expecting her husband's guest to be a little girl.
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded and introduced the two of them: "This is my wife, madam, and this is Dr. Zhou."
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly greeted Man Bao.
Xiao Yuan was asking Man Bao: "Did Little Zhou have dinner?"
"have eaten."
Xiao Yuanzheng turned his head and said to his wife: "Then just serve me a bowl of noodles from the kitchen, Doctor Zhou and I will talk while eating."
He turned sideways to invite Man Bao to enter.
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly asked the servants around her to go to the kitchen, and followed them to the study.
Man Bao and Xiao Yuanzheng were talking, "Xiao Yuanzheng, your house is full of medicine gardens?"
"No, it's just that there are some herbs planted in this yard."
Man Bao said: "I just saw several medicinal herbs, but I have only seen processed ones, never raw ones."
"Why, Doctor Xiao Zhou is also interested in medicinal herbs?"
"Of course, healing depends on the quality of medicinal materials. Not only are there strict requirements in processing, but cultivation is also very important."
"Exactly," Xiao Yuanzheng strongly agreed, "It's a pity that now the medicinal materials are basically picked from the wild, and there are very few medicinal materials that are actually planted, and doctors seldom pay attention to this aspect. It is not enough to rely on multiple drug dealers in various drug stores."
Xiao Yuan was asking Man Bao to sit down in the study, and turned around to look for things on the bookshelf beside him, Madam Xiao smiled and made tea for them, and listened to them.
Xiao Yuan was looking for a book from the bookshelf, turned to one of the pages and showed it to Man Bao, "Emperor Zheng and the others have just returned, I'm afraid it will take a while to come over, Doctor Zhou can take a look at this first."
Man Bao took the book to read, and said with a smile: "I have read this article."
She turned to the cover to look at the title of the book, flipped through the other pages, and said with a smile: "So this article is included in so many books?"
Xiao Yuanzheng became curious and asked, "Have you read that book?"
"We, Dr. Ji, have a copy of "Medical Policy Collection", which contains this article."
""Medical Policy Collection", "Xiao Yuanzheng said with a smile: "I heard that it seems to be the Zheng family's medical book. Are there many cases recorded there?"
"It's okay," Man Bao nodded. She exchanged one of her own books with Dr. Ji to read the book. Of course, each of them must have copied the other's book. Now Man Bao has a book This handwritten "Medical Policy Collection".
Man Bao memorized the article, so there was no need to read it again. She glanced at the book in her hand, thought about it, and returned it to Xiao Yuanzheng.
Forget it, they are not very familiar with them at the moment, so it is better not to rummage through other cases.
She knew that people here had a different attitude towards medical books than Teacher Mo's attitude towards medical books.
From Mr. Mo, as long as there are points, most of the books can be bought and shared.
But here, there are very few medical books to buy in bookstores, and if there are, they are mostly common medical books.
But each pharmacy has a lot of medical books, most of which are manuscripts. Not only that, they also record many medical cases and prescriptions, which are specially taught to their own children and direct disciples.
Like Doctor Ji, his father was a doctor in Jishitang, so he also studied in Jishitang since he was a child, and he has never left Jishitang in his life, especially Doctor Xiaoji.
Generally speaking, when a doctor like Man Bao who does not sign a contract sits in Jishitang, Jishitang will not teach her specially, but she has a lot of medical books in her hands.
Ji Shitang wanted to learn her medical skills, and she also wanted to learn Ji Shitang's, so everyone exchanged with each other.
But Man Bao was taken by Doctor Ji to participate in several exchanges in pharmacies. Of course, it was not to exchange medical skills, but to exchange some knowledge about medicinal materials and identification of medicinal materials.
She listened to their exchanges, and knew that they had a set of rules for the inheritance of medical skills. If they read other people's medical books without their consent, they would be suspected of stealing the teacher.
Xiao Yuan was receiving the medical book, and since Man Bao had read it, he proceeded to talk about it.
Mrs. Xiao at the side watched them, the old and the young, talking passionately. She could understand a little at first, but she couldn't understand at all later on.
But it doesn't matter, the most important thing is, talking, talking, Xiao Yuanzheng turned around and called the chief attendant: "Go and call the uncle."
After finishing the order, he said to Man Bao: "My eldest son is strong and strong, you can try it on him in a while."
Man Bao nodded, took the medicine box from Daji, opened it, took out the needle bag and put it aside, looked at Xiao Yuanzheng and smiled: "Actually, my An Mian acupuncture method is also good, Xiao Yuanzheng, do you want me to help you?" Do you tie it?"
Xiao Yuanzheng smiled and said: "Forget it, I'll just make a sleeping incense myself."
Man Bao began to talk about sleeping incense, "The sleeping incense I make always has a medicinal scent that cannot be removed, but I read in the book that sleeping incense can also be divided into many types of fragrances. What kind of fragrance does it smell like?"
"Peach blossom smell," Xiao Yuanzheng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Other smells don't suit me, and I can't sleep after smelling it."
Mrs. Xiao tried to interrupt several times but couldn't get in, and before she could speak, her son arrived.
As soon as he heard that his father wanted to test the needle, Xiao Dalang didn't think much about it, he was about to take off his clothes before he took off his belt, and seeing that Man Bao was still standing aside, he looked at her.
Xiao Yuan said: "Take it off, it's just for her to try. This is Doctor Zhou, a little miraculous doctor who has been widely rumored in the capital recently."
