Naturally, what Man Bao said and did in the palace could not be hidden from the queen, so Man Bao finished a new round of treatment and left the palace, and the queen knew it in the palace.
Man Bao was carrying an empty basket, which contained some snacks given to her by the queen. Even if it was well known that she entered and left the palace, she still had to give an excuse.
For example, if you carry a basket to go out to shop, next time you enter the palace, you will carry another basket to enter the door. It doesn't matter whether it is empty or full, anyway, if she has something in her hand, it will be considered as a purchase.
That's right, the guards guarding the gate are so "negligent of duty".
Man Bao carried a basket and walked out behind a little palace maid. Before she could get out of the Tai Chi Hall, she stopped.
Seeing the person squatting in the flower bed, Man Bao showed a smile on his face, greeted the little maid and went up, "Mr. An—"
A servant who was about the same age as Bai Erlang raised his head and smiled at Man Bao, moved a little awkwardly, and after holding back for a long time, he said, "Little Eunuch Zhou?"
Man Baole nodded, and squatted down to look at the flowers and plants in the flower bed with him, "It's cold, these flowers and plants are a bit bad."
Eunuch An:...
Man Bao coughed lightly and said, "Shall I weed for you?"
Eunuch Xiao An: "... No need, I've already done it."
He took out a few intact flowers and plants, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Look, these are the weeds that have been removed."
Man Bao looked at them, then looked up at Eunuch An, and couldn't help sighing, "Eunuch An, you won't cheat no matter what, you can cripple them a bit, just pull out such good ones and give them to me. , the person in charge will punish you if he finds out."
She looked left and right, moved her position, blocked the little maid's sight, and stuffed a purse to Mrs. An, "Don't be so careless next time, plants are easy to survive, and most plants can be cut, so you You don’t need to dig the whole plant, you can take some branches and leaves for me, anyway, you have to prune the flowers and plants, don’t you?”
Eunuch An: ... No, who would prune branches and leaves in winter
Still he nodded.
Man Bao put those flowers and plants into the basket, then quietly pointed to the plants scanned by Ke Ke and whispered: "I want them next time."
Eunuch An took a look, isn't it just Tuerhua and Drunken Butterfly
He really didn't understand why little doctor Zhou wanted these flowers and plants, could they be used as medicine
It looks very ordinary, not as good-looking as a peony. However, Mr. An still nodded in agreement.
Only then did Man Bao carry the basket and left contentedly.
The little palace lady didn't care either, Little Doctor Zhou had to take a walk in the garden of the Tai Chi Hall every time he went to the palace to see a doctor, sometimes he could stare at a grass for a long time, she was already used to it.
That's how she got acquainted with Mr. An.
After Man Bao left, Eunuch An took the purse given by Man Bao to the side hall. When Aunt Shang happened to come over, he bent down and offered the purse with both hands.
Aunt Shang opened it to look, and inside was a small silver ingot of five taels.
Aunt Shang couldn't help smiling, put the silver ingot back to him and asked, "What did Doctor Zhou say?"
"Doctor Zhou told me to be more careful. Don't dig up the whole plant next time. He said that the plants are very alive and most of them can be cut, so just let me break some branches and leaves." Xiao An said with his head down: "She will dig the whole plant next time. I want rabbit ears and drunken butterflies."
Aunt Shang nodded and said: "Understood, then next time you can break some branches and leaves for her, and bring some roots. You don't have to dig the whole plant."
Eunuch Xiao An breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed back with his purse in his hands.
Aunt Shang then went to report to the queen.
The queen was drinking water, and said with a smile, "Mingda was still talking about it when he came last time, saying that Zhou Man was thinking about the flowers and plants in the palace early in the morning."
Aunt Shang smiled and said, "I heard that Doctor Zhou has had this hobby since she was a child. When she saw flowers and plants she didn't know on the road, she would dig and study them. Maybe it's because of this that she is so good at medical skills."
The queen nodded and asked: "Who is the family she said is going to have a caesarean section?"
Aunt Shang lowered her head and said, "It seems to be the third wife of the Li family in Yongzhou. His family has invited Imperial Physician Liu to see her. The situation seems to be a little bad."
The queen sighed and said, "It is much more difficult for women to give birth."
While talking, a servant came in quickly, the queen saw him and asked, "What's the rush?"
The servant hesitated for a moment, then knelt down on the ground and whispered: "Your Majesty, there are some rumors outside today that Doctor Zhou cured a man's infertility and made his wife pregnant."
The queen stood up in shock and asked eagerly, "Is the news accurate?"
"It's been rumored outside."
The queen said: "You go and find out, and ask what is the patient's condition, has he been unable to conceive a child?"
The queen was a little annoyed, "I should have left her to talk for a while just now."
Aunt Shang: ... They want to stay, but Doctor Zhou only thinks about the flowers and plants in the garden.
The news had already quietly spread throughout the capital, Shi Dalang sent another wave of relatives and friends away, squatting in the courtyard very tired and not speaking.
Aunt Shi didn't think there was anything wrong, so she comforted her lightly, "Anyway, your illness is cured, so you'll know if you know it, what's the big deal?"
Shi Dalang felt his face was hot, turned his back and didn't look at his mother, but his father said, "You deserve it, who told you to use your cousin's name? Yesterday your aunt brought you brown sugar and eggs." It's over."
Shi Dalang muttered, "Isn't it just my head that's hot?"
But it's useless to talk about it now, it must have spread to the neighbors in the neighborhood now, and he can't just break up with his aunt's family just because of this, right
Even if he wanted to, his parents had to agree.
Of course, Mrs. Shi and the old couple disagreed, so the two continued to be affectionate in front of relatives.
Jishi Hall became much more lively, of course, this time the excitement was not due to the increase in patients, but the increase in servants who came to inquire about the news.
This kind of unspeakable secret, people without money have not thought about coming to see a doctor for the time being, and people with money can't come here by themselves, so they sent people to inquire.
Regardless of whether they have given birth to children or not, anyone who feels that they have kidney deficiency wants to consult a doctor, but when they think that the doctor who sees the doctor is a girl in their teens, this kind of thinking pauses again. In the midst of emotions, everyone decided to let the servants inquire about it.
The Crown Princess in the East Palace also sent someone to inquire, she quietly said to the palace: "Inquire carefully about Shi Dalang's pulse case, it is best to copy a copy back."
Pi Guogong's mansion also considered this way, and Pi Guogong even personally ordered the housekeeper to handle this matter, "Go quietly, and come back immediately when you get the pulse case."
