Man Bao and the others shared their rooms and took their luggage back to the house. Manager Li then came to report, "Master, Miss Man, the shopkeeper Zhang of this inn is under the command of General Meng's wife and brother, Master Zhang. Several participating generals and partial generals in the army have shares here."
Man Bao was curious, "Are they fighting in a ring? With whom? The governor of Shazhou?"
Bai Shan then asked: "Is there the inn opposite first, or the inn next door first?"
Li Guanshi was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't ask this question, so Bai Shan asked him to ask, "Ask again, when was this inn opened, Shazhou Governor He has been in Shazhou for several years."
Li Guanshi responded, went out and walked around and came back, "Young master, there was the inn opposite first, and then there was the Yunlai inn. The inn has been open for seven years, and Governor He has only been in Shazhou for three years. "
Bai Shan and the others understood that He Cishi was an outsider, at least it would look like this in the next year, so they didn't know whose side he would stand in his heart.
Yin or yawned and asked them, "Are you going to vent your anger?"
Bai Shan hesitated, so he went to ask Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang waved his hand and said: "Where is there such a temper, we are just passing by, and we will only stay for two days at most, there is no need to make enemies with them for such a thing, but this Things can be joked before the history of He Shi."
He took off his shoes and socks to soak his feet, and said to Bai Shan, "Take Shangmanbao's door invitation and deliver it to the governor's mansion. We will visit tomorrow and ask the magistrate to recommend him to get the customs clearance document from General Meng." .”
Bai Shan responded, and squatted down to wash and wipe Mr. Zhuang's feet before going out with the footwashing water.
Mr. Zhuang sighed comfortably, and leaned on the bed without moving.
It's really not easy for people with old arms and legs to travel far.
Man Bao took out the balance of fifty taels of silver and handed it to Da Yu, "How many days are you going to stay in Shazhou? I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
The money was too heavy to fit into his pocket, so Da Yu carried it with his hands, and he said with a smile: "It's hard to lose the enthusiasm of Imperial Doctor Zhou, we decided to stay for a few more days."
Anyway, she was packing board and lodging, so they could just buy more things to go back home. Although there are no merchants passing by in the town now, they also consume some coarse cloth and ceramics locally, and they can make money, but the earning is a bit small.
Man Bao didn't mind being taken advantage of by them, but reminded: "We may only stay here for two days."
Da Yu was actually a little curious, "Doctor Zhou, isn't Shazhou more fun than our small town? You have stayed in our small town for 20 days, why don't you stay here for a while?"
Man Bao said solemnly: "Am I the kind of person who has fun? There are many herbs in your town that I have never seen before. I went to see the herbs."
Heavy Yu curled her lips, who is she kidding? In the 20 days in their small town, she had only seen her eat fish, gerbils, even scorpions in the desert, and poisonous round thorns. He didn't think it was for Look at the herbs, but to eat, right
Man Bao himself didn't quite believe it, so he added a sentence, "The big cities in the world are similar, but there is a Yumen Pass in Shazhou that is different, but it is a military important place, and it is not something we can enter. Let's wait and see from a distance. Just feel the majesty of it."
Heavy Rain thought about it for a while, and came to think of it, that is to say, their town is different.
He felt complacent, and said to her: "Yes, our town is very beautiful, completely different from other places, otherwise we wouldn't have fallen in love with it at a glance back then."
After Da Yu took the money, their trading relationship was over, but Man Bao was very generous and asked shopkeeper Zhang to charge their meal expenses and meal money to her account.
They are officials from the capital. Although they are not very big, it is really not difficult to see He Cishi. The guards sent the post to the governor's mansion, and they waited outside the yamen for a while before they heard back, so they came back and reported, "He Cishi said He has time tomorrow at a quarter to three."
Man Bao said: "Then it will be noon in a quarter of an hour, and it will be noon when we talk. Does he want to treat us to dinner?"
Mr. Zhuang patted her on the head and cursed with a smile, "I think about food all day long."
On the other side of the dining table, Yu Yu nodded approvingly.
But Mr. Zhuang still took it to heart, so when he went out the next day, he took all six children with him, just like the old man and old lady in the village who were going to have a wedding.
Bai Shan and the others also dressed up, put on a better set of clothes with accessories hanging on them, and then set off with Mr. Zhuang in high spirits.
After walking in the desert for more than ten days, they are still very greedy. They don't know what flavor Shazhou has.
He Jieshi met them in the governor's mansion, and Man Bao walked in the front when entering the gate, and she led everyone in.
When Governor He saw her, his eyes flashed, he immediately got up with a smile and saluted Zhou Man, and after the greetings, they sat down in different places.
He knew Zhou Man's origin, and he also knew Zhou Man's mission to the Western Regions.
In fact, he has received official documents and news from the capital a long time ago. He is naturally curious and... respectful of this famous Zhou imperial physician in the capital, not to mention that she cured the prince's illness and gave the dynasty the eldest grandson. , Let’s talk about smallpox in Xiazhou, God knows how scared they were after winter last year.
Fortunately, the prescriptions they sent are effective, and there are not many smallpox patients here, and some people who brought the disease were controlled when they entered the city, and then they were isolated outside the city...
He had seen the efficacy of that prescription with his own eyes, and the death rate was much lower than the smallpox he had seen when he was a child.
I forgot to mention that he also suffered from smallpox, and that happened when he was a child. Although he was protected by his family in the back house at that time, he never forgot the feeling of life and death.
I heard that this prescription was improved by the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital based on the prescription given by Imperial Physician Lu. Among them, Imperial Physician Zhou put in a lot of effort.
And this time Zhou Man went to the Western Regions for the prevention and treatment of smallpox. Although I don't know why such a small and backward country in the Western Regions has such an important prescription, but whatever, as long as there is one.
So Governor He did not stop them from going out of the city, and said enthusiastically: "I sent someone to report to General Meng yesterday, and I happened to ask him to have dinner in Anning Restaurant. Why don't you go with me, Mrs. Zhou?" It’s time to mention this customs clearance document.”
Man Bao responded happily, and asked a little curiously, "Is it difficult to get the customs clearance documents now?"
Governor He sighed, "Physician Zhou came all the way from Xiazhou, is the journey easy?"
Man Bao paused and said: "It's okay, but many post stations along the way are abandoned, or there are no post stations, so it's inconvenient."
Governor He: "... What I mean is that you haven't encountered bandits and horse thieves?"
"Oh, there was a wave," Man Bao said with a nonchalant smile, "But it has been wiped out."
see you at six pm
