Man Bao shook his head and asked in a low voice, "It's either an official, or an ordinary commoner."
Magistrate Tang straightened his back, looked at Man Bao contemptuously and said, "Let's not say that people don't sue the officials and don't prosecute such things, even if the people sue, the officials generally don't prosecute them."
The court's requirements for national filial piety are not very strict, but weddings are not allowed. As long as you don't think about talking about marriage, getting married, opening a store, housewarming, etc. within three months of national filial piety, generally this kind of couple Things in between don't matter.
There are nearly 4 million households in the entire Jin Dynasty, of which 90% are ordinary people. Can you really ask so many people to come to be a monk for three months
Magistrate Tang stared at Man Bao, and asked in a low voice, "Is your family going to have a baby?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "Well, the days are still young, it's only been a month, so it's not easy to tell the outside world, I just told you."
County magistrate Tang: ... You are a ghost, why ask him about his country's filial piety in only one month
But she is a doctor, she said yes.
When Man Bao returned to Chongwen Museum, he went to find Mr. Zhuang and told him about the precautions in the early stages of pregnancy.
Mr. Zhuang listened carefully, and went back to find Zhou Dalang, and said to him: "Man Bao said that your sixth sister-in-law's life is the same as that of Da Lang's wife, and the difference is not two days."
Zhou Dalang was puzzled, "Isn't it a month early?"
Liulang and the others planned to tell the Qiu family after the first month.
But Mr. Zhuang said: "It's the same as Dalang's wife. It's only been a month and a half, so it's not easy to diagnose the pulse. Let's wait for two more months before talking about it. Even the Qiu family will not talk about it."
He said: "After all, it's too close to the national filial piety period, and Man Bao is an official, so it's hard to say."
Only then did Zhou Dalang understand, and immediately responded, "Thank you sir, I'll go back and talk to Liu Lang."
Liu Liulang didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. They used to be very ordinary people. They knew that they couldn't say goodbye or hold weddings during national funerals, but they didn't know that they couldn't even... ahem.
Zhou Dalang asked him, "Did your parents-in-law know that the sixth sibling is pregnant?"
"...No," said Saturday Lang, "Because my sister-in-law said that the days are still young and it's not good for the children to go out, so none of us said anything."
That's why Man Bao couldn't hold back his words, and he happily told Bai Shan Bai Erlang as soon as he was diagnosed, and then the other families knew about it, otherwise it was only the old Zhou family who knew about it.
Zhou Dalang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to him: "Then postpone the date for another month, that's fine, and it's safe to talk about it when the child is older."
Saturday Lang nodded again and again, he didn't want to cause trouble for Man Bao, he was a little worried, "The officials are so strict? Will someone come to the house to check?"
Zhou Dalang comforted him, "No, if we don't tell the outside world about this kind of thing, who will investigate it? And Man Bao is a doctor, and our family doesn't need outsiders to see a doctor or take medicine. Isn't it just as long as she says?"
Saturday Lang thought about it, so he felt relieved.
He went back to the house to talk to Qiu Shi, Qiu Shi was a little disappointed, "I thought I could tell my parents right away to make them happy."
"Wait another month, and then we will go back and say it in person," Saturday Lang said: "Brother said, Mr. Zhuang said, early this morning, because the officials did not obey the rules during the national filial piety, they were all demoted, and one was kicked out." After leaving the capital, it is not certain whether I can come back in the future."
When Qiu heard this, he immediately said: "Then let's be careful, I will go out less in the future, so that my sister-in-law and the others can also speak the same way."
Qiu Shi thought of something, his face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed, so he couldn't help but hit Liu Liulang, "It's all your fault, how can I go out to meet people in the future?"
Saturday Lang: ...
But there was nothing unusual in the Zhou family. Everyone treated her as usual the next day, and there was nothing bad to say about the Bai family. Mrs. Cheng even came to play with her, "Our days are almost the same. Do you want to join me in making small clothes for the child?"
Mrs. Qiu nodded immediately, and the two of them entered the door one after another, and they were also pregnant. Although one is a lady from an official family and the other is a daughter of a small businessman, it makes sense.
So the two went together.
Saturday Lang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her. Man Bao said that pregnant women love to think too much, so we can't let her be too dull and thoughtful. Not only will it hurt yourself, but it will also hurt the child.
Man Bao in the palace got the accurate information from Mr. Zhuang, completely relieved, and started busy with the free consultation of the Imperial Medical Office.
Imperial Physician Xiao simply said: "For this free clinic, in addition to twelve people like Zheng Gu, eighty people will be selected from the Imperial Medical Office as helpers. Good steps."
Imperial Physician Liu has no objection, "It's fine to learn how to raise eyebrows and lower eyes."
Man Bao said: "I have read the list of preferential medicinal materials sent by each family. The medicinal materials needed for basic diseases are all there. I have asked Zheng Gu and the others to copy them. I will give each of you a copy when they are finished."
Doctor Xiao said: "Then let's set a date, and we need someone to post the announcement. Zheng Gu and the others had better memorize all these medicinal materials, so as not to use the medicinal materials that are not discounted, and it will look ugly later."
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "Today is the ninth day of the lunar new year, and the fifteenth day must be lively, but it is not convenient for us."
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a stampede in the capital. Although there was no serious incident because of the Queen Mother's death, the county magistrate Tang was reprimanded and made a note of it afterwards.
It's just that he caught a few human traffickers at that time, and finally pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and wiped out the gang of human traffickers who had been active in the Gyeonggi area in one fell swoop. It is said that he had his men chase the murderers all the way to Tangzhou.
Even Doctor Xiao and others in the Imperial Hospital have heard about this incident. Most of those girls are going to be sold to the south of the Yangtze River, and it is estimated that they will never come back after this trip.
Also because the Queen Mother died of illness, his credit was not publicized, and in the end the merits and demerits were offset.
During the Chinese New Year, the magistrate of Tang County was very strict on the capital, and even the magistrate of Guo County in Wannian County was much stronger. In addition, during the Chinese New Year, most of the rich and powerful were still in the filial piety period, except for some wealthy businessmen. , Not many people dare to have fun outside.
So this year is particularly safe, but Imperial Physician Xiao also knows that the sheds that several pharmacies want to set up are arranged on another street, and they are not allowed to get together again.
He was also afraid that something might happen to the free clinic during the Lantern Festival, so he said, "Then postpone it to the 18th day, four days, how about 18th to 21st
Man Bao and the others thought about it for a while, but they had no opinion, so they agreed.
When they settled down here, Imperial Physician Liu wrote a note and reported it.
Seeing that they only asked for people who maintained order, as well as some tables, chairs and shelves, they agreed with a wave of their hands.
The former is handed over to the Jingzhao Mansion, and the Jingzhao Mansion will hand it over to the county magistrates of the two counties, so there is no trouble for them. The latter is also simple. It is enough for all ministries to gather together and move some out of the warehouse, and return them later That's it.
