In the evening, Man Bao bid farewell to her family and entered the palace to be on duty. Xiao Yuanzheng was on duty with her tonight. As a third-rank imperial medical officer, he was already qualified to participate in the palace banquet. Fortunately, the palace banquet was not too late. He ate After dinner, I came over to watch the night with Zhou Man. Fortunately, the whole night was safe and no one called the imperial doctor.
This year, the three families kept the New Year's Eve together, and there were many Zhou family members. In order not to disturb them, they went to the side room of the main hall in the front yard to talk around the stove after dinner.
Bai Shan curiously asked about the beggars and the beggar gang.
Zhou Zhoulang said: "Beggars are different from the gang of beggars. How can I say this? Anyway, you should remember that no matter where you go in the future, don't mess with the local gang of beggars. For beggars, you can help as much as you can. Let’s say, as for the beggars, it’s never wrong to stay away from them.”
Bai Shan was curious and wanted to ask again, Zhou Lixue came over with his homework and asked for advice.
They will take the Mingjing exam in February, and there is still more than a month to go, so they are intensively reviewing during this time.
Bai Shan then put the matter aside and gave them a lecture first, "Why don't you go to Mr. Zhuang?"
Zhou Lixue said: "Let's go to my little uncle first, and then we can go to Mr. Zhuang for questions that my little uncle can't answer."
Bai Shan then cheered up, hum, can a mere Mingjing topic confuse him
Bai Erlang and Xiang Mingxue also sat down to join in the fun, they are also scholars.
This new year should be the busiest one they have ever had.
After the seventh day of the lunar new year, the imperial court issued a seal, and Zhou Man and the others went to the palace as errands. Doctors like Zheng Gu who were recalled from the local medical office all went to Huangzhuang to learn vaccination.
This time, Zhou Man and Imperial Physician Lu led the team.
Before entering Huangzhuang, Man Bao visited Mr. Mei's father and daughter who moved to Changqing Lane, and left them medicine before entering Huangzhuang.
Because the total number of people vaccinated has exceeded 10,000, and after reaching their expected data, people who will be vaccinated later will not need to spend time testing whether they are immune to human pox.
Therefore, now you only need to wait for the acne scab to mature and fall, and it only takes about five to seven days to enter Huangzhuang once.
You can take a break every ten days.
Because Liu Sanniang is pregnant, and she is very familiar with vaccination, this time the imperial hospital did not invite her in, but asked Zheng Gu and others to help Zhou Man and Imperial Physician Lu to study at the same time, and at the same time, they also wanted to vaccinate.
That's right, all the doctors transferred from the local medical department this time will be vaccinated.
After all, if they want to vaccinate locally, they will inevitably have frequent contact with smallpox patients in the future. The best way is to vaccinate themselves.
Fortunately, they are still young and strong, and the risk of vaccination is not high.
Well, vaccination teaching starts with itself.
This is Man Bao's busy schedule, and Bai Shan is also busy. This year's Mingjing examination is scheduled for the third day of February, the day after the dragon raises his head. The Zhou family will learn from Zhou Ligu and Guan Yong this year, and Bai Shuping has also signed up.
Not only does Mr. Zhuang have to guide them, but Bai Shan also gives them lectures after leaving the office every day, so both husband and wife are busy.
Before dawn on the third day of February, Man Bao and Bai Shan got up, and followed the family to send the nervous four Zhou Lixue to the entrance of the Gongyuan.
The four of them were a little nervous, and because it was cold, they couldn't help stamping their feet, and asked Zhou Man nervously, "Sister-in-law, do you think we can pass the exam?"
Regardless of whether it is possible or not, it is necessary to say yes at this time anyway, so Man Bao nodded with certainty: "Yes!"
However, it is useless to rely on Man Bao's ability. The list was released a few days later, and none of the four passed the exam. Instead, Pei Shouyue was admitted to Mingjing, and his ranking was not low, which was highly appreciated by the examiners.
There are a lot of things to do in February, the first major event is the raising of the dragon's head in February, the second is the Mingjing examination, and the third is Princess Changyu's wedding.
Since the beginning of the new year, Man Bao and Imperial Physician Lu have only had vaccinations twice. The third time was supposed to be done in February, but Man Bao asked for leave to attend the wedding banquet.
Xiao Yuan was directly calling back. The reason was that Zhou Man was not a member of the royal family, so he was not included in the leave list. Spring is the busiest time in the Tai Hospital.
Xiao Yuan was planning to throw her in the imperial manor to continue vaccination, but the emperor directly said to him at the Xiaochao meeting, "Princess Changyu has been in the palace all year round, and she has fewer friends. I want to send you off for marriage."
After finishing speaking, he also invited all the ministers and workers, "When the time comes, all the ministers will come to drink this cup of wedding wine for Zhen and Wei Qing."
Wei Zhi twitched his face, as if it was the two of them who got married.
But on a happy day, Wei Zhi didn't bother the emperor about such small details.
The emperor asked, what else could Xiao Yuanzheng do, he could only approve Zhou Man's leave.
So Zhou Man lived in the palace on the night of the seventh day of the lunar new year. It was the first time for Mingda to experience a friend living in the palace for a wedding, so he didn't live in his own palace anymore, and came to be with the two of them.
At night, the three of them leaned on the bed together and whispered.
Ming Da asked Zhou Man: "When I get married, do you want to come into the palace to accompany me?"
Man Bao said: "No need, I'm afraid you don't know, Bai Er is going to pick you up from my house in the palace."
Changyu was curious, "Is Mingda still going to your house to pay homage?"
"Of course not, just like you," Man Bao said, "Eat at my house first, and then go to the palace to pick up the princess when the auspicious time comes, and then send it back to the princess mansion. Entertaining guests in the princess mansion counts as the second meal."
After all, there are no banquets in the palace, and there is no barrier to marriage. The rules are very different from ordinary people's marriage.
Both Mingda and Changyu were inexperienced, so they looked dumbfounded.
Man Bao said to the two of them: "It doesn't matter, just follow the order of the best man. I heard that this time the best man is a young official selected from the Ministry of Rites. He is very handsome?"
Chang Yu snorted and said, "No matter how handsome you are, Mr. Yang is not as handsome. It's a pity that he is not in the capital. Otherwise, even if I roll around, I will ask my father to order Mr. Yang to be my best man."
Ming Da said: "Originally the groomsman was appointed by the sixth uncle in the clan, but he disliked having a beard, so he was not happy at all, so the emperor changed his responsibility to the Ministry of Rites."
Apparently, the Ministry of Rites also knew about the princess's problems, so they specially picked a good-looking official to come up. Although the other party's official position is very small, the etiquette system is already in the Ministry of Rites, and emergency training for a period of time is enough.
Man Bao asked Mingda curiously, "What about your best man?"
Mingda said: "I think it will be the same as my sister's."
Changyu: "Look, look, there is no one in the world who doesn't love Jun, otherwise why don't you say it, I think Uncle Six is fine?"
Mingda tickled her in embarrassment, "Your mouth is not forgiving."
Changyu laughed out loud, and when the laughter was over, he lay on the bed and said, "Mingda, just wait, when you get married, I will go back to live in the palace, and I will send you off to get married like this."
Mingda said "OK" softly.
The three of them just fell asleep like this... It was impossible. Aunt Shang from the Queen's Palace sent a box, and when she saw Zhou Man here, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "It's really great that Doctor Zhou is here." Now, this is a book sent by your maidservant, please ask Zhou Taiyi to teach the princess."
Man Bao was about to open the box to read, "What book?"
Aunt Shang pressed the box, said with a smile: "Good book, wait for the servants to leave and the princesses will read it again."
After saying a very neat salute, he stepped back.
