As soon as Madam Xiao heard that Man Bao was a little miraculous doctor who had been widely rumored in the capital recently, she slowly sat back on the chair and ignored it.
Xiao Dalang dragged his coat and sat cross-legged on the couch, Man Bao took out the needle and gave Xiao Yuanzheng an explanation while giving the needle.
Xiao Yuan was watching how fast and accurate her acupuncture was. The acupoints were accurate just by pinching and pricking, so he knew that her acupuncture skills were really powerful.
Some imperial physicians in imperial hospitals who don’t use needles often have to feel the acupuncture points when they want to insert needles, and sometimes they will stick sideways, causing blood to come out.
When Imperial Physician Zheng waited for several imperial physicians to come over, Man Bao's needle was halfway through, so they stood aside and watched without disturbing her.
Seeing that Man Bao had stabbed Xiao Dalang's head with needles, everyone gathered around to watch, discussing in low voices at the same time.
Xiao Dalang had already fallen asleep with his head bowed.
Xiao Yuan was feeling for his pulse, nodded slightly, and asked Man Bao, "Did you sleep well when you pierced the empress?"
"Yes, the Queen's insomnia will have a great impact on her body in the long run."
Xiao Yuanzheng sighed and nodded, nodded his son and said: "Pull it out, didn't you say you want to change two places?"
"Yes." Man Bao counted the time, and then slowly pulled out the needles in an orderly manner. Xiao Yuanzheng noticed that the order in which she pulled out the needles was different from the order in which she inserted them before, that is to say.
Doctor Zheng and the others also noticed, seeing that there was a special charm in her technique, they knew that she had counted the time accurately.
This is related to the essence of acupuncture, and no one asks about it.
Madam Xiao saw that they were having a lively conversation, so she got up and went out to give orders. After a while, six bowls of noodles were delivered from the kitchen, five small ones and one large one.
She put it on the table and said with a smile: "Let's sit down and have some supper, and chat while eating."
Only then did everyone realize that it was getting dark outside, and it was obviously getting late.
Only then did Xiao Yuan feel hungry, and while calling them to sit down and eat noodles, he continued the question with Man Bao.
Man Bao glanced at Daji who was waiting in the corner, nodded and sat down.
Just changing the queen's treatment plan, they talked about it in the middle of the night. From the medication to the changed acupuncture method, Xiao Yuanzheng asked very detailed questions, and finally finalized it bit by bit with the five people.
After it was confirmed, the six of them signed the medical record together, and Xiao Yuanzheng handed over the part of the record about the acupuncture method to Man Bao, asking her to copy it down.
"Tomorrow when you enter the palace, you will do the same thing, and we will collect this signed and affixed document into the Imperial Hospital.
It only mentions the needle method, but there is no specific method of needle operation, such as how deep to pierce, how to twist the needle, all of which are not mentioned here.
At present, only Man Bao knows this acupuncture method.
Man Bao has actually recorded it in his mind, but since Xiao Yuan is asking her to make a copy, let's make a copy.
Man Bao copied it down, and after Xiao Yuanzheng read it, he also signed below, and then passed it on to Zheng Taiyi and others.
Everyone signed on it one by one, and Xiao Yuan was handing it to Man Bao, asking her to sign as well. He explained: "This is how you do things in the Imperial Hospital. You should always be cautious when treating nobles."
Man Bao nodded and put the paper away.
Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at the hourglass and said: "It's getting late, we'll stop here tonight, I'll send you out."
The five hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, and also saluted Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Dalang who had been waiting by the side.
Doctor Sun got into the car first and left. Doctor Zheng invited Man Bao to ride with him. Man Bao knew that he had something to say to her, so he nodded to Daji and got into Zheng's car.
Mrs. Xiao watched their carriages disappear, and then said to her husband: "It seems that the Zheng family is about to wake up."
Xiao Yuanzheng shook his head with a smile and said: "I understand, she is only sitting in Jishitang with an order, but she has not signed a contract with Jishitang."
"So the Zheng family hasn't captured anyone yet?"
Xiao Yuan was remembering what she said to exhort the emperor and the crown prince in the Lizheng Hall today, and shook her head: "She is different from us, we only study medicine, but she went to school with a decent teacher. What I learned was the lessons of Confucianism."
Mrs. Xiao was surprised, "Isn't she a doctor?"
Xiao Yuan was shaking his head, "It's not just doctors."
Mrs. Xiao was thoughtful, and whispered: "I think this little girl is very clever, how do you think she is suitable for the fifth child in our family?"
Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at her and said, "Is your fifth son worthy of someone else?"
Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "Is that just my son, isn't it also your son?"
Xiao Yuan was shaking his head, "Forget it, let's stop humiliating ourselves, she can talk to us about medical skills at her age, and she will be able to stand side by side with us in a few years."
"But in a few years, she will marry and have children. No matter how good her medical skills are, she will still have a husband and a child?" Mrs. Xiao said: "At that time, what's the use of her medical skills? How about a doctor, I don’t need her to see a doctor, I just like her cleverness, and as you said, she has studied seriously, generally such a girl is sensible and can manage a family well.”
Xiao Yuan was frowning, "If her medical skills are not used like this, wouldn't it be a pearl covered in dust?"
"Who's willing to let their daughter-in-law go out to see a doctor? It's not that they can't afford food."
Doctor Xiao did not speak.
It was getting late, people on both sides of the street had already turned off their lights and went to sleep, and the carriage made a rumbling sound as it passed the street.
Imperial Physician Zheng couldn't help lowering his voice, he said: "Little Doctor Zhou, from tomorrow onwards you will go to the palace to see the nobles, because time is tight, we have no time to teach you anything, we can only Tell you a few more words."
Man Bao nodded, "Tell me, I'm listening, what should I pay attention to?"
Imperial Physician Zheng shook his head and said: "But when I went home today, I thought about it carefully, and I think you can't remember too many instructions, so I just need to tell you one sentence."
Man Bao listened attentively.
"In the palace, you can offend anyone, but don't offend the queen mother. In the palace, as long as you win the favor of the queen and don't offend the queen mother, even if you don't give face to your majesty and the prince like today, you won't die. .”
Doctor Zheng felt that the child was too courageous. When he was sitting in the carriage home today, she dared to cut Su Jian's stomach with a knife and began to recall from the first time they met, and continued to recall what happened today, and then he I feel that it is useless to tell her more rules, it is better to tell her the practical ones directly.
Hearing what he said, Man Bao was very surprised, "Could it be that the queen mother and empress are more powerful than the emperor and prince?"
Imperial Physician Zheng nodded and said: "Of course not in state affairs, but in the harem, it's about the same."
Imperial Physician Zheng said meaningfully: "After all, we are doctors, and we only treat patients. Basically, we are under the control of the harem. Although the empress is sick now, the empress is in charge of everything regardless of the size of the palace. .”
