The maid came down to the first floor with the two wives, and saw Zhou Man and her friends coming over laughingly.
She didn't expect such a fate, she was stunned for a moment, and then the shop assistant greeted her faster than her, "Are the guests going to eat, or..."
Zhou Lixue said: "The family has reserved a private room on the second floor, and we will go up by ourselves."
The clerk glanced at the large group of servants behind them, responded with a smile, and turned to let them go upstairs, but he didn't walk away immediately, he had to see which room they were in, and then brought them tea.
Just as she was thinking, Han Wuniang's maid had already stepped forward to stop Zhou Man and saluted, "Little Doctor Zhou."
Man Bao took a closer look and was surprised, "Hey, aren't you that Xianggui?"
Xianggui responded with a smile, and said: "My third master and wife are also here to watch the lanterns, and the lady said that she saw the little doctor just upstairs, and the third master said no."
Xianggui invited Manbao to sit on the third floor.
Man Bao said: "No need, let your father and wife go and play by themselves, my parents are on the second floor."
The master asked her to invite people, so it would be better to invite people, so Xianggui smiled after thinking about it: "Little doctor Zhou, my young master is also here, you haven't seen him since a hundred days, I don’t know that he can sit and crawl now, and he can even grab people and stand up.”
When Man Bao heard this, he also wanted to see the first child who was cut out, so he said to her: "You go up first, I have seen the elders, then go up to the third floor to meet your wife."
Xianggui responded with a smile, first sent Manbao and the others to the second floor, and took note of their box numbers before going up to the third floor.
Old Zhou Tou was standing by the window and staring at the lights below. To be honest, it was the first time he had seen such a bustling Lantern Festival at such an old age, so he could see it clearly after the lights were lit. I didn't even turn my eyes.
Not only did he watch it by himself, he also dragged Qian Shi to watch it.
Of course, he was quite reserved in front of his in-laws and Mr. Zhuang, he only lowered his voice and said to Qian: "Quick, look at that lamp, does it look like a rabbit?"
Qian turned her head to look, nodded with a smile, "Like."
Old Zhou Tou whispered, "I'll go down and buy you one later."
Qian Shi pursed her lips and smiled, but did not refuse.
The two talked so seriously that Man Bao didn't notice when he entered the box.
Mrs. Liu saw a few people squeezed into the box panting, she smiled and asked the girl to pour tea for them, and asked with a smile, "How long have you been here?"
Man Bao said: "It didn't take long, they came over when they met Li Xue on the road."
Seeing that they were all sitting still, Man Bao urged: "Sir, Grandma Liu, you should go down and take a walk too, the streets are fun."
The two refused, "We are getting older, so we won't join in the fun with you, you go."
Man Bao invited Aunt Zheng, and ran to the window to call her parents, "Father, mother, I'll go and guess lantern riddles for you."
Old Zhou Tou hesitated and asked, "Is there a rabbit lamp?"
"Yes, but the beauty lamp looks better."
But old Zhou Tou said: "Rabbits are pretty good-looking, guess a rabbit lamp for your mother."
Man Bao responded with a smile, and said, "Wait for me, I'll go upstairs to meet a friend and come down."
Bai Shan poured a cup of tea for her and said, "I'll go with you."
Then let everyone wait here for them.
Mrs. Liu asked curiously, "Why, did you meet acquaintances in Yongzhou?"
Bai Shandao: "It's the third master and third wife of the Li family, Man Bao's patients."
Old Zhou Tou and the others didn't know who it was, but Mrs. Liu thought of it instantly. She nodded with a smile, and said to the two of them, "Go, and come back after saying hello."
The two agreed, and then went upstairs together.
Mrs. Liu waited for them to leave and entertained Yin Ju and Liu Huan. The sudden appearance of these two children in Yongzhou in the afternoon shocked her too.
Man Bao and Bai Shan went up to the third floor, and they found Xiang Gui waiting for her, and they followed her to the private room.
Han Wuniang hadn't seen Manbao for a long time, and the family returned to Yongzhou shortly after finishing the hundred days, but it was only lively for several months when they returned to Yongzhou.
There is no way, she is the first person in history who survived a dissection, not to mention those relatives, friends and sisters-in-law, even her mother-in-law couldn't help but look at her belly.
Originally, she thought the knife marks left on her stomach were ugly, but now she doesn't think so anymore.
As soon as she saw Man Bao, Han Wuniang happily took her hand and said hello, and then asked Li Sanlang to bring the child over for Man Bao to see, and taught the babbling child to be called "Auntie".
With outsiders around, Li Sanlang couldn't hold the baby anymore, so he turned around and handed the baby to the nanny, while he talked with Bai Shan.
Mainly out of curiosity as to how they ended up here.
Han Wuniang on the side pulled Manbao and talked about the troubles of raising children. For example, the child doesn't like to drink milk recently, and he just stares at the meat on the dinner table, "...keep clamoring for food, but I remember you I have said that before the child is one year old, it is best not to eat salt and meat, just eat some custard, so I have never dared to give it to him.”
Man Bao nodded and said with a smile: "The child's stomach is weak, and the internal organs are developing, so use less salt at this time. When you are young, milk can provide most of the nutrition. Now you can eat supplementary food. "
Han Wuniang used to feed the baby herself, but he grew teeth later, and the bite hurt so much, she listened to it and started feeding it to the nanny.
Now she has a lot of troubles, and their box is not small, so she simply took Man Bao to the other side of the screen to whisper, and finally said: "Unfortunately, there is no female doctor like you in Yongzhou. I can only tell the women around me, but they will only tell me that women have this experience, just get over it... "
Man Bao also sighed, "The Imperial Medical Office is about to be built, I hope we can recruit a few more female disciples at that time, and they can be sent to various medical offices when they are finished."
Han Wuniang's eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her voice and said, "Miss Zhou, can you choose two people from me to enter the Imperial Medical Office?"
Man Bao was surprised, with a puzzled look on his face, "Huh?"
Han Wuniang laughed and said: "The girls in ordinary people's families are seldom literate. I'm afraid they won't take the exam. After the exam, they have to start from literacy. It's too time-consuming, but the people around us are different. Those who have only learned a few characters and are smart, can start learning medicine as soon as they enter the medical office, isn't it better than choosing from outside?"
Man Bao became thoughtful and asked, "Can this still be done?"
"sure."
Man Bao asked calmly: "But they are slaves, not good ones."
Han Wuniang laughed and said, "What's the problem? Just let them go."
