Mrs. Zheng gave the remaining medicine she used to Mrs. Fang, thinking that it was not enough, so she sent someone to Jishitang to buy it.
Where does shopkeeper Zheng Da know what watermelon cream is? Even if his younger brother is an imperial physician, it is impossible for Zheng imperial physician to tell him everything about the imperial hospital.
If some medicines are not ready, you can't tell the outside world, even your close relatives.
Like Zhou Man who used it directly... Well, she is the prescription holder, and she has the right.
But shopkeeper Zheng Da was dumbfounded, but he quickly came back to his senses and realized that this medicine was the medicine that his younger brother mentioned vaguely that Zhou Man used it to trade a quota with Tai Hospital.
He suppressed his desire to inquire, and told the servants of the Bai family that there was no such thing outside, so don't tell the outside world beforehand, it's better to ask Doctor Zhou personally.
Doctor Zhou was having fun in the suburbs, and he didn't return home with Bai Shan until almost evening.
County magistrate Tang got off the car halfway, and continued to go back to work overtime, not happy at all.
When Man Bao entered the door, he happened to meet a servant who had returned from buying medicine, and she said, "Watermelon Shuang, look for me, there is no one in Jishitang."
But Man Bao not only brought watermelon cream to the fourth sister-in-law, but also prescribed a bitter medicine for her, she said: "You are on fire, your anger is strong, so take medicine."
Fang doesn't like to drink medicine very much, but Man Bao has grabbed the medicine, so he can only drink it.
Man Bao said: "Drink a bowl tonight, it should be fine, drink another bowl tomorrow morning and the root will almost be cut off, it's not very serious."
It was really not serious, Fang didn't feel sore throat the next day, because it was hot, the whole family didn't go anywhere, they just moved to play in the open house in the garden.
Mats were spread on the ground for the three children to sit and play, and some tables and chairs were placed on the side facing the water. Bai Dalang and the three of them were writing vigorously.
Mr. Zhuang was woken up by them this morning. He really couldn't see how lax they were, so he simply assigned them homework and asked them to finish it within the day.
But the study room wasn't much cooler, so they also moved to Changxuan, which is near the water, and once the wind blows, there won't be much heat.
Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zheng took needles and threads and sat on the edge of the mat, looking at the three children who were making noise at their feet while doing needles and threads.
Zhou Lixue and the others brought a table and chairs from outside, and placed them next to their sister-in-law, then sat on the chair and sighed, then rolled up their sleeves and spread out the pen and paper.
Bai Erlang was a little distracted, and carefully glanced at the gentleman who was lying on the recliner reading a book at the other end of the open room, he always felt that his eyes were closed at this moment, and he was not reading a book.
He quietly kicked Man Bao's foot, motioning her to look.
Man Bao looked up and whispered, "Fell asleep."
Bai Erlang was immediately relieved, and turned to talk to Zhou Li imitating them, "What are you doing, you also have homework?"
"Our homework has already been finished," Zhou Lixue said, "This is the job of copying books from the bookstore I took over. Alas, I am about to spit out this book "A Brief Analysis of Analects", but the bookstore boss is not willing to give it to me. Get another copy."
As he said that, Zhou Lixue glanced enviously at Bai Shuping next to him, and said, "Shuping is fine. His handwriting is better than ours. Now he can copy four books, and he can choose any one he wants."
Bai Erlang asked, "Are you so short of money?"
"Earn some pen and ink money," Zhou Lixue said, "and the things in the capital are too expensive, a meatloaf has cost eight cents."
Bai Shan raised his head when he heard the words, "Have you been deceived? Don't the meatloaf on the street always have Liuwen?"
Zhou Lixue: "No, the stall is next to our school. It originally sold six pennies, but last month it was said that meat and rice noodles were expensive, so it went up by one penny. Before our holiday, he said, other The price of the stalls has been raised to Bawen, so they have to raise it too, otherwise the business will not be able to continue, and others will have opinions."
Zhou Ligu immediately said: "Although it has increased by another penny, the meatloaf has become bigger than before. It seems that we are not losing money after seeing it. Everyone still likes to go there to buy and eat."
Zhou Lixue: "Compared to this, the prices of the books we copy haven't risen at all. It's been several months. It should be as much or as little as possible."
Everyone: ...
Bai Shan replied casually, "Don't think about it, if the price of books increases again, scholars will not have to live."
He turned his head and said to Man Bao: "It's the time of summer harvest, and the autumn harvest is coming soon. I'm afraid that the grain harvest is a foregone conclusion."
Man Bao was a little worried, "I don't know what's going on at home."
Bai Dalang was also worried, "Let's write a letter and ask back. Also, it's time to stock up some food at home."
The Fang family not far away heard it and said: "Our family hasn't gone to the grain store to buy rice noodles for a long time, and all we eat is sister-in-law's Lumi. Since the price of grain has risen, we don't need to fight with others for this life-saving food." Is there food?"
Man Bao nodded, "If you buy too much, the price of grain will be raised."
Mrs. Zheng said softly: "Don't be afraid of the food you need, there will always be enough. Not to mention, our family has a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. Even if the harvest fails, we can always harvest some."
Moreover, Longzhou is not far from the capital, so there is no need for the children to worry about these things. If there is anything missing, there will be no shortage of food.
As soon as Fang and the others heard this, they really stopped worrying immediately, but Bai Shan and the others couldn't help but frowned slightly, feeling a little worried in their hearts.
When the weather is not right, the court situation is easy to be turbulent. How long has it been stable
But the few people looked at each other and found that they were still just students, there was nothing they could do for the time being, so they sighed and continued to do their homework.
Man Bao also felt that there was nothing he could do, but after entering the palace for work the next day, he sat down on his buttocks, and was invited to Zhan Shi's mansion in front by the servant before he sat down.
Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Liu were also there, and they were sitting on the chair with half of their buttocks, with their hands flat on their knees and sitting upright.
Man Bao stepped forward to salute the prince curiously, and looked at the three of them curiously.
The prince handed her a brochure and said, "Nowadays the weather is very hot and dry, and many people around the world suffer from heatstroke and faint, so the imperial court plans to purchase some medicinal herbs to fight against the heat. These are the prescriptions listed by the imperial hospital. I just want to ask you Is there any other good recipe out there?"
Man Bao took it and glanced at it. At the beginning of the booklet, there were two prescriptions, and at the bottom was the budget for the medicinal materials. The medicinal materials that need to be purchased are calculated by stone, so you can see how much the dosage is.
Man Bao said: "These two prescriptions are very good."
The crown prince took a look at Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Liu, and then said to Eunuch Wu: "Please go to the side hall to rest for a while."
Eunuch Wu responded with a bow, and hurriedly asked the two of them to rest in the side hall first.
After they left, the prince said: "This budget is too high, and the Ministry of Household Affairs should not allow it. Do you have any cheaper prescriptions?"
Man Bao was surprised and said: "This prescription is already very cheap. A dose of medicine is only about 9 Wen. If the household department and the drug dealer purchase it directly, it should be even cheaper. One party can be up to 6 Wen."
After all, she is also a doctor who has been in Jishitang, okay, I still know the price of the medicine.
