The imperial court opened the seal, but there will be the Lantern Festival later, the weather is still cold, and there is no urgency to start the spring, so everyone acts slowly.
Except too hospital.
Man Bao led the people from the Imperial Hospital to see the veterans and remnants who were placed in Huangzhuang.
Xiao Yuan was looking at their physical conditions, and found that they could survive the vaccination, oh, no, a few of them hadn't been vaccinated.
But Xiao Yuan just took a look at them, and didn't ask Zhou Man why they brought back without vaccination. After looking at them, he said: "At present, it seems that vaccination does not have much adverse effect on their bodies."
Man Bao nodded.
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Your Majesty has specially approved it. Later, we will find someone to test for cowpox. This Huangzhuang will be allocated to us."
Man Bao asked: "Should we still find prisoners to test for us?"
"What kind of prisoner are we looking for? Since it is confirmed that the risk of vaccinating is not high, we should naturally find someone." Xiao Yuanzheng said: "The Criminal Department doesn't have so many prisoners for us to use, and the cost of finding prisoners is higher."
It's better to use servants, such as servants in the Huangzhuang and criminal slaves in the court, all of which can be used.
Naturally, Man Bao and the others don't need to worry about these things. If things are ordered, someone will do them.
But to vaccinate the cows they came by themselves.
Most of the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital participated in it, and bought five cows directly from Zhou Man for vaccination.
Why did you buy it from Zhou Man
Xiao Yuanzheng had a good reason, "You succeeded in inoculating vaccinia in the Western Regions. The cattle in the Western Regions are somewhat different from the cattle in the Central Plains, so you should start with the cattle in the Western Regions. What if your dosage is not suitable for the cattle in the Central Plains? "
Man Bao felt that what he said made sense, so he brought all the cattle brought back from the Western Regions to Xiao Yuanzheng to pick.
How could Xiao Yuanzheng know how to pick cattle, so he asked the steward of Huangzhuang, and under his suggestion, he picked five cattle that were judged to be healthy.
So the Tai Hospital began to prepare pox seeds, and after the cattle were connected, people were carefully guarded to prevent outsiders from touching the cattle.
Everyone in Huangzhuang knew that there was smallpox in this area, and they didn't intend to seek death or harm others, so basically they would not come here.
It's just that the Tai Hospital is very careful about this kind of thing. There are three checkpoints on the road, guarded by the imperial army. Even if someone wants to take the smallpox virus out of Huangzhuang, it will not be easy.
Man Bao and Xiao Yuan were waiting for someone to line up the person on duty after seeing that the cow was inoculated with pox, and then went to change clothes and go home.
On the first day, Imperial Physician Zheng was on duty, so Yuan Xiao, Imperial Physician Liu and others wandered out of Huangzhuang to go home with Zhou Man.
At this time, there were no crops in Huangzhuang, and there was still snow in the fields. Fortunately, the road was still dry, so everyone simply walked to the outside of Huangzhuang.
Xiao Yuanzheng asked Zhou Man, "Your Majesty Zhou will not invite you to drink for a promotion?"
Imperial Physician Liu also looked over, and said with a smile: "This is a great joy, Mr. Zhou has passed a big threshold, why should we entertain relatives and friends at home?"
Man Bao said: "Don't worry, we will wait until the Ministry of Officials exam is passed in April."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "You don't need to take the exam, why do you have to wait for the official department to pass the exam... Oh, Mr. Bai is going to be an official this year?"
Man Bao nodded.
Xiao Yuanzheng curled his lips, and couldn't help asking Zhou Man with concern, "Master Zhou's marriage has been mentioned?"
Man Bao was a little shy, but still nodded generously and said: "I mentioned it, when Bai Shan is elected as an official, I will set a date, and invite everyone to have a wedding wine."
Everyone naturally responded happily.
Xiao Yuanzheng was a little worried, avoided the crowd and gave Zhou Man a look, and the two of them slowly fell behind. After a certain distance, Xiao Yuanzheng asked her in a low voice, "Master Zhou, can you still get married after you get married?" Are you an official in the court?"
Man Bao was curious, "Why not?"
She was startled, "Xiao Yuanzheng, you won't fire me just because I got married, will you?"
Xiao Yuanzheng: "...what qualifications do I have to dismiss you? If you want to dismiss, it will be dismissed by His Majesty and the Ministry of Officials."
Man Bao said: "But the Ministry of Officials still doesn't listen to you?"
She is Xiao Yuanzheng's subordinate, and he has the final say on whether she fulfills her responsibilities.
Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at her, and Man Bao immediately smiled flatteringly and said, "I'm not saying you're playing for selfishness, but you're asking this question to make me flustered."
Xiao Yuan said right away: "After you get married, you can't be a husband and a child? Is there still time to enter the palace and become an official?"
Man Bao said: "It's okay, of course, I don't mind if you give me a few more days of vacation. As for the husband, Bai Shan and I also help each other now. After we get married, it will be the same as now. As for the godson, wait Let's talk about having kids."
Man Bao is still very confident, "I think Bai Shan and I are so well-behaved and obedient, and our children will definitely be very well-behaved and obedient in the future, so I won't worry too much."
Even if you have to worry about it, there is still Bai Shan, he will definitely help share it, if it doesn't work, you can only ask her parents.
Seeing her so confident, Xiao Yuanzheng was choked up on many words, he didn't speak for a moment, he paused for a long time before nodding his head and said: "Okay, you just know what's in your mind."
After entering the city, Man Bao reined in his horse, and condescendingly bid farewell to Xiao Yuanzheng and others in the car, "It's time to go down to Yamen, and it's getting late, so I'm going home first?"
Xiao Yuanzheng waved at her, and said: "Tomorrow you are going to ask the empress and princess for pulse, don't forget the time."
Man Bao responded, and rode away on his horse.
When she got home, a maid rushed up to carry her medicine box and take off her cloak. Xibing took a step behind and found that she couldn't grab the two maids of the Bai family. Squeezing out a smile, he said, "Master Zhou, I will support you."
Man Bao: ...
Seeing that her eyes were about to cry, she let her support her and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you waiting in the front yard? Aren't you waiting in the back?"
Xiaoqian rushed out when she heard the movement, and said, "Manbao, it's just in time for you to come back, come here quickly, sister-in-law has something to say to you."
Man Bao smiled at Xibing, and ran over with his hands.
The two maidservants of the Bai family glared at Xibing, one of them carried the cloak and the other carried the medicine box and went back to the main courtyard.
Xibing also glared at them, snorted secretly, turned and left.
Seeing all these, Xiaoqian couldn't help but feel a little headache.
She pulled Man Bao into the room and whispered, "There were many things before, and I forgot to ask you, did you buy the ten girls you brought back?"
Man Bao shook his head, "It was given by someone else."
"Why did I hear from Liru that the person was originally given to Mr. Liu's family?"
Man Bao nodded, "It was for Liu Huan, but Liu Huan didn't want it. He gave it to us early in the morning."
She scratched her head, "When they were in the Western Regions, they all obeyed our orders. When they came back, Liu Huan and Yin Or didn't want anyone, so they came back with us directly. What's wrong?"
Xiaoqian sighed: "Ask Mr. Liu and Mr. Yin if they still want it. If not, we have to make some arrangements at home. You don't know, ten people have been added to the family suddenly. What do the little girls who took care of you think?" It's very big. Although Mrs. Liu said it's okay, I always feel that even if you are a servant, it's not good for you if they have conflicts. We all feel a little frightened when we see it."
