The emperor didn't know anything about this, so he dragged the queen to talk for a while, thinking that since Zhou Man came, he might as well show the queen to see it.
"The Queen's appetite has been a little bit bad recently."
After feeling his pulse, Man Bao said: "It's bitter summer, there is no good way to do this, but your body is weak, don't use too many ice basins in the house, it's better to use a fan to fan the wind, or sit in a ventilated place is also good , be careful not to catch cold at night..."
Man Bao babbled a lot of advice, even the emperor who was listening thought she was too wordy, but the empress listened with gusto.
When he finally sent her away, the emperor let out a long sigh of relief and said, "You don't look very young, why are you talking so much?"
The queen asked with a smile, "Does Your Majesty still have a stomachache?"
The emperor felt it for a while, shook his head and said: "Don't say it, her acupuncture is quite useful. I heard from the crown prince that their imperial medical department has to teach by different subjects, and one of them is acupuncture."
The queen also felt good, although this summer was still bitter for her, it was actually better than previous years. She was very uncomfortable at this time last year, especially when the catkins were flying, and she once felt that she would not be able to survive that summer.
It was the first time for the emperor to be needled, and he thought it was good, let alone the queen, who was often needled.
It is precisely because of this that the empress tried so hard to persuade the emperor to reorganize the imperial medical office.
If Zhou Man's ability can be taught to his disciples and spread to medical offices in various places as written in their brochures, and then he can treat diseases for the people all over the world, how many people will benefit from it.
The emperor also began to think about this matter seriously, and he thought more deeply than the queen, "Acupuncture uses less medicine, so it should cost less, and some poor people can also use it."
The emperor couldn't help tapping his thigh with his fingers, and said in a deep thought: "At that time, a sum of money will be allocated from the national treasury every year, and medical offices in various places will purchase some commonly used medicinal materials, and they can also help patients who cannot afford medicines."
The queen nodded again and again, "That's exactly what it means."
"However, this charter must be fixed, lest the people who should really help fail to help, and feed some rats." The emperor thought for a while, then turned his head and said to Gu Zhong: "The prince is doing this, call him here , let me ask him if there is a charter there?"
Gu Zhong quickly responded, bowed and left, and asked someone to announce the prince to come.
He just gave orders to turn around and go back, when he saw Zhou Man, who had not left for a long time, happily sitting with the two staff members in the side hall, and he didn't know what he said. Princess Mingda rolled her eyes with a smile.
Gu Zhong shook his head slightly, turned around and went back.
The emperor and empress in the palace also vaguely heard the laughter and asked, "What are they laughing at?"
Immediately, some palace people went out to ask, and soon came back, "Master Zhou is telling the princesses about the interesting things about her playing by the river in the village when she was young, and the two princesses like it very much."
Not only do they like it, but if Man Bao said that the sun is too big and he doesn't want to bask in the sun, the two of them almost took her to the river to dig mud to play.
As for the river, Daming Palace also has it.
Moreover, because the Daming Palace has not been completed and occupies a large area, it is quite wild. The riverside has not been managed at all, where there should be aquatic plants, there are aquatic plants, where there should be mud, there are also mud, and there are even wild ducks in some tidal flats with lush aquatic plants.
It doesn't look like the palace at all.
Finally, after the sun went down, Chang Yu, who took Man Bao and Ming to the riverside, saw the frightened wild duck flying up, and couldn't help but yelled happily.
Man Bao was not surprised, but wanted to know if there were wild duck eggs in the aquatic plants, so he lifted up his skirt, tied it up, rolled up his sleeves, and walked deep into the grass.
Changyu immediately followed, Mingda also wanted to go, but was pulled back by the palace man, "Princess, you can't catch cold."
Mingda felt a little regretful, so he stood on the bank and waited for them, and pointed them in the direction, "Come up a bit more, the wild duck just flew away from above..."
Man Bao pawed at the lush aquatic plants on the tidal flat, and finally found a hay nest with Princess Changyu. When he opened it, he saw five bluish-white duck eggs.
Both of them couldn't help but let out a cry, and reached out to get it.
Man Bao shook his head and said happily, "The days are not long, you can eat them all."
Chang Yu took three, Man Bao took two, and the two happily squeezed out of the water grass to show Ming Da the duck eggs.
Mingda was also very curious, "How do you eat this?"
"It can be fried with chives," Man Bao said, "Scrambled eggs with leeks are delicious, so fried duck eggs should be delicious too."
They are eggs anyway.
Chang Yu couldn't bear to eat it all, so he took one and said, "I'll wash this one and put it on the case as an offering, no one is allowed to eat it."
Mingda also wanted one, so he pinched one in his hand, Man Bao didn't care, and directly handed the two eggs in his hand to the palace man, "These eggs can be kept for twenty days, the weather is hot, if you It will go bad if you don't eat it."
Mingda regretted, "Is there no way to make it not bad?"
"Yes, see if it is a breeding egg. If it is a breeding egg, find a hen to hatch it, so that the egg will become a duckling, and the duckling will be able to lay eggs again when it grows up. Isn't it bad? Hahaha …”
Man Bao was talking about it for fun, but Ming Da and Chang Yu actually took it seriously. After thinking about it, they thought it was a good idea, so they decided to take it back and ask someone to find a hen to hatch the eggs.
"How do you think this is a breeding egg?"
Man Bao was taken aback, and carefully recalled her mother's steps in selecting eggs, scratched her head and said, "I have to light the oil lamp, then point the egg at the oil lamp to shine on it, and then you can see if it is a breeding egg."
The maids and servants on the side: ...
There was a court lady who was not young before entering the palace, she knew how to read, so she took a step forward and said: "Princess, this servant knows how to recognize."
So the group ran back to the palace, directly closed the curtains, lit the oil lamps, and looked at the eggs.
Luckily, three of the five eggs were breeding eggs. Ming Da and Chang Yu chose one that looked pleasing to the eye, and then looked at Man Bao, "Are you sure you don't want to choose one?"
Man Bao is not very interested in raising ducks. There are many ducks in her small village, so there is no need to raise them all the way in the palace.
But it is rare for her to have a common thing to do with her friends, so after thinking about it, she picked up the remaining one, nodded and said, "Okay, but it's not convenient for me to carry it, so you can help me? When you find it The brooding hens sit together to incubate their eggs."
Mingda nodded immediately, took the duck egg from her hand and said with a smile, "I'll keep it for you."
Seeing that they had finally discussed it, the palace servants at the side reminded them tactfully: "Master Zhou, it's getting late."
Man Bao looked out, only to realize that time flies, and now it's almost time for dinner.
She got up immediately, "I have to go back, otherwise the ship will be out of service in a while."
The most important thing is that she still has to submit the medical records to the Tai Hospital, and the Tai Hospital does not know who is on duty tonight.
