Man Bao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he asked in a low voice, "Are the other masters like Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?"
Aunt Shang: ...
Man Bao understood something from her silence, she sighed faintly, and nodded to show that she understood.
Seeing this, Aunt Shang became even more silent.
Aunt Shang arranged for a carriage to take Manbao back to Changqing Lane. She didn't see the pot of flowers that she admired until she got home. The flower pot was pretty, but the leaves looked familiar to her.
While hesitating, Keke said: "That's right, it's the chrysanthemums you sold to the Yizhou Palace before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Man Bao: ...
Man Bao moved the flowers to Bai Shan's door, then took out the fox fur and looked at it, and decided to find a shop to make a fox fur when he had time.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang came back just before dinner time. As soon as they entered the yard, they yelled "I'm starving to death". Man Bao poured them a glass of warm water, and they drank it all down. Then they rubbed their bellies and asked: "Isn't dinner ready yet?"
Man Bao asked, "Did your Imperial College lose your lunch?"
"It's cold and hungry, and today it's especially brain-intensive," Bai Shan said, "Tomorrow we're going to bring some snacks to school."
He took out two books from the book basket and showed Man Bao a stack of papers, "We found a lot of books today, but unfortunately there are not many records about the Imperial Medical Office in the Imperial College, and they are very trivial and scattered. Looking for a few days, how did you talk with the queen today?"
Man Bao said: "I have already rejected her, and she also agreed to let Dr. Liu study with me for the time being."
She flipped through the stack of papers in her hand, and said pleasantly, "You guys have found a lot of things, and you've even memorized the sources."
Bai Erlang slipped to Mr. Zhuang's table and touched a piece of dim sum to nibble on, and said, "Of course, not only us, Yin He, Feng Xuexiong, Yi Xuexiong, but also Ji Hao all helped to find it."
Man Bao tilted his head to look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shandao: "I only asked Yin You for help, but I met Feng Xuexiong and Yi Xuexiong in the library, and they helped to find it."
As for Ji Hao, he didn't even know why he followed him to the library, he was not a book lover.
Man Bao didn't pay attention to Ji Hao either, she carefully read the relevant information transcribed on the paper, and before she finished reading one piece, the kitchen brought out the food, and everyone had to eat first.
Bai Shan rolled up his sleeves to wash his hands, he stopped for a moment when he passed by his room, he looked down at the flower pot in the middle of the door of his room, paused for a moment, bent down and carried it to the study, and then went to wash his hands.
When he came back, he couldn't help but asked Man Bao, "Did you put the potted flower at the door of my room?"
Man Bao nodded.
"How to put it outside, what if it freezes to death?"
Man Bao said: "No, it is very strong."
"That's a chrysanthemum, the leaves are so green in winter."
Man Bao nodded heavily, "Yes, a mutant chrysanthemum."
Bai Erlang asked: "Isn't that very valuable, how do you give it to him?"
Man Bao raised his eyelids and asked, "Do you want it? If someone gives it to me later, I'll give you one too."
She turned her head and said to Bai Shan: "You have a crow's mouth, so this first pot is given to you."
Bai Erlang still had doubts in his head, but Bai Shan had already realized that this potted flower was a mutated chrysanthemum originally sold by Man Bao.
he:…
Mr. Zhuang also reacted, shaking his head and laughing: "This is cause and effect, God is still fair."
Man Bao pouted, but did not refute, but ate a big bowl of rice angrily.
Bai Erlang also understood, and snickered endlessly.
But Bai Shan found it very interesting. After eating, he squatted in the study and looked at the pot of chrysanthemums for a long time, thinking: "Other chrysanthemums can only bloom until the beginning of winter at most. Now it is deep winter. How come its leaves are still like this?" Is it verdant?"
Sitting at his desk, Man Man continued to read the materials they copied back, and said casually: "It's a mutant, it's cold-resistant."
Bai Shan: "Then pruning and cultivating, wouldn't it be possible to enjoy chrysanthemums in winter in the future?"
"Don't think about it, the gene of this flower is not stable, once it blooms once, you don't know what it will look like when it blooms the second time, I heard it's ugly."
It is not the first time that Bai Shan has heard the word gene from Man Bao, and he also knows what a gene is. Hearing this, he said: "Then cut the branches and graft them, and see if we can grow other flowers?"
He said: "If it is possible, there will be many flowers to enjoy in winter."
Man Bao turned over a piece of paper and said indifferently: "Then you can pick it up, it is best to pick up edible flowers, there are no green leafy vegetables to eat in winter, and the vegetables in the cellar are tired of eating, take a look Can you pick up vegetables and grow them out?"
Man Bao paused at this point, turned his head to look at the chrysanthemum leaves on the ground, and thought: "If the vegetables in winter can grow like this pot of chrysanthemums, then we won't have to worry about running out of vegetables."
Bai Shan also looked at the pot of chrysanthemums in front of him and thought deeply, "Were the chrysanthemums in the palace originally raised in the greenhouse, or outside?"
Man Bao: "Oh, I forgot to ask."
Because chrysanthemums are not valuable to Keke, she didn't take it seriously.
Upon hearing this, Bai Shan simply moved the flower pots to the yard, found a place that could shelter from the wind and snow, and decided to use experiments to prove it.
Xiang Mingxue was just about to close the ventilation window, and when he saw it, he couldn't help shaking his head.
Xiang Chao still didn't dare to let Xiang Mingxue stand for too long, so he hurried to help close the window, saw it too, and couldn't help but marvel, "Why is such a precious pot of chrysanthemums kept outside to catch the cold?"
Xiang Mingxue said: "This is why we are not as good as them."
Xiang Chao was puzzled, but Xiang Mingxue didn't answer any more. He helped Xiang Chao back to the bed and continued his rehabilitation.
He can barely move two steps now, but he is still not stable, and he doesn't dare to do too much, so he can only recover slowly.
After putting away the flower pots, Bai Shan went back to the study to sort out the materials with Man Bao, and talked about the plans and ideas for the Imperial Medical Office by the way.
Bai Erlang sat at his desk, lit a candle and buried himself in writing his biography. Today he was pressured by Bai Shan to do a white job, and he hadn't had time to write it yet.
Mr. Zhuang was also in the study, occasionally answering questions from Bai Shan and Man Bao, for example, how the general staff department and the household department work, and how to report the addition of new students to the Imperial Medical Office.
Seeing more and more proposals from them, Mr. Zhuang gradually turned away. In the end, it didn't look like he was going to set up a women's hospital, but it seemed to be a school for medical students.
After all, I am still a child, and I only go to and from school on weekdays, so I see all the functional departments as the same as in the school.
He shook his head and smiled, interrupting their various questions and said: "According to your plan, it's like running a school. There are ready-made examples of this, such as the Imperial College."
Bai Shan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you think the court will agree, sir?"
