Man Bao was sitting under a tree in the yard, holding a book in his hand, and Xi Bing was fanning her with a big cattail fan in his hand.
Wu Yue came up from the mountain with a food box, put it down, took out two big bamboo tubes from inside and said: "Miss, Madam sent some things this morning, I know you love tofu, so I also made some and sent them here today. I'll take it to the cold spring above to freeze it in a while."
Man Bao nodded, turned a page of the book, and asked, "Have you sent the letter yet?"
"Give it away. The lady said that there is a stone mill in the village. There are many women in the village who have nothing to do. There are also a lot of beans at home. Whether you want tofu or bean curd, you can make it. It's not difficult at all."
Man Bao nodded, put the book upside down on the table, took a piece of melon from the side to eat, and asked, "Have you seen the person sent by the Imperial Army to negotiate business?"
"I see, it's just a guard, it's not a talk, they are generous, and they directly ordered a hundred catties of tofu and two hundred catties of bean curd with the eldest lady, saying that they will taste the taste first, and buy it if it is good. It was given at the market price, but the eldest lady and the others sent it to the foot of the mountain."
Man Bao was happy, "Pu Village is not very far from here. There are cows and mules in the family, and they can both pull carts. It's not hard."
"That's right, the lady said the same thing, and she also said that mules can be used for grinding, so it's not difficult to make these tofu," Wu Yue said with a smile: "The lady asked the lady if there is anything she would like to eat, tell her, and she will make it It will be convenient to send it next time."
After thinking for a while, Man Bao shook his head and said: "Don't worry, they just accepted this order. They must not be used to it at first, and some are busy. Let's talk about it in a few days. I want to eat couscous, and Bai Er wants to eat fried rice." Wanzi, write it down first, and tell sister-in-law after a while."
May responded with a smile.
After Man Bao finished eating the melon, he wiped his hands with a cloth towel before leaning back on the reclining chair and continuing to read with a book in his hands.
Xibing sat at the side fanning the wind, and followed behind to watch, but unfortunately she didn't know a few words, she looked away dizzy for a while, and stared at Zhou Man's neck boredly.
She always felt that the adult's neck was bitten by a mosquito, but unfortunately the clothes covered most of it, so she couldn't see it very clearly.
A court lady knocked on the courtyard door, and when she heard that she was allowed to come in with her skirt in hand, she saluted and said, "Master Zhou, our princess invites you to pick grapes in the Huangzhuang tomorrow."
Man Bao looked at her, recognized her as the person next to Princess Mingda, shook his head and said: "No, I can't go, I have to go to the government office."
The princess smiled and said, "Your Majesty is going too, and your lord should go with you just for His Majesty's safety."
But the emperor is almost better now. He doesn't take any medicine from today, only diet therapy is enough, pay attention not to be exposed to the sun, drink plenty of water, keep a happy mood and get enough rest.
Now the main patient is Master Wei, okay
She sneaked over to get Wei Zhi's pulse this morning, he didn't sleep well last night,
Man Bao glanced at the book in his hand, shook his head reluctantly and said: "You go, I won't go, I will let Dr. Zheng accompany you."
The palace maid opened her mouth wide, unexpectedly Master Zhou could resist the temptation.
The maid could only leave and leave.
Man Bao sighed, looked up at the blue sky, regretted for a while before continuing to look down at the book.
Xibing kept an eye on the time and reminded: "My lord, you have been watching for an hour straight. Take a rest. My lord has told you that it is not good for your eyes."
Man Bao let out a "hmm", turned a page and said perfunctorily, "Wait until I finish reading this page."
After reading this page, she said again: "Wait until I finish reading this paragraph."
In the end, May came out and accepted the book forcefully, so Man Bao closed his eyes and lay down on the recliner, shaking up and down, recalling what she read this morning in her mind.
It is too difficult to make incense. Even if there is a ratio, the process of processing one after another is also very important, and the technique is also important.
Man Bao felt that it was too difficult for her to make an incense suitable for Wei Zhi, at least not something that could be achieved in a day or two, or even a month or two, so she decided to change it.
If sleeping incense suitable for Wei Zhi could not be produced, there were only two methods left: acupuncture and foot soaking.
She didn't mind acupuncture, but she didn't know if Mr. Wei would mind if she came to give him acupuncture in the middle of the night.
Based on Man Bao's understanding of him, he must have cared. He felt a little uncomfortable at noon when he was given the needle every five days.
Man Bao opened his eyes and remembered, "Aren't you going to give Master Wei an injection at noon today?"
"seems like it."
Man Bao said quickly: "Go, send someone to talk to the old servant of Mr. Wei's house, and ask him to make arrangements. After noon, Mr. Wei will rest for two hours."
"so long?"
"That's why I asked them to arrange it in advance." Man Bao lay back on the reclining chair, took the fan from Xibing's hand and fanned it himself, and said, "But I'm thankful that he can arrange an hour to come."
Sure enough, Wei Zhi countered half of the price, and only gave her an hour, no, not even an hour, because this hour included the time for lunch.
Man Bao simply ate at his house.
Fortunately, Mr. Wei's meals are also provided in the palace, and he eats dishes according to the grade, but his appetite is very average, so most of them went into Man Bao's stomach. As for Man Bao's portion, she turned her head and said to Xibing: "You Let's go back to eat, I'll go back after seeing Master Wei."
There were only two courtyards between the two families, and they were very close, so Xibing smiled and bowed to retreat.
Wei Zhi shook his head with a smile, seeing that Zhou Man was eating so deliciously, he couldn't help eating half a bowl of rice, so he walked around the room after the meal, trying to get rid of it before getting the needle.
Man Bao said: "My lord is not temperate in his diet, so he spoiled his stomach, otherwise he wouldn't just eat such a small amount."
Wei Zhi sighed and said, "Now that I am in the eyes of your imperial physician, there is something wrong with me everywhere."
Man Bao's heart softened, and he immediately comforted him: "It's okay, you don't need to take medicine for now, you can take care of it slowly, some of your eating habits are good, such as meat and vegetables, and you can be more on time, slowly, It can’t be raised well, and it won’t get worse again.”
Counting the time, Man Bao felt that it was almost time to digest, so he felt his pulse, and asked him to lie down on the couch for an injection.
Because he wanted to use acupuncture, Man Bao changed the needles he inserted today, reducing the original two needles, but adding five needles in other places.
The old servant on the side secretly memorized the location, and was about to ask a question, when Wei Zhi, who had been whispering about political affairs with Man Bao in the past, snored.
The old servant was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Is your lord asleep?"
Man Bao nodded, sighed and said: "This set of needles is not as good as the previous set for regulating the inner breath, but it can make people sleep peacefully, and it can also be regarded as rejuvenating, that's all, there are gains and losses."
