Xiao Yuan just felt that he hadn't considered Zhou Man in these matters, so he nodded and said: "Okay, then I will talk to the official department, and we will choose a few people when the time comes."
Zhou Man nodded, "The spelling numbers and official documents are well written."
Xiao Yuan was looking at her, expressing his understanding.
Xiao Yuan just took a look at her big belly, "Okay, let's go after you finish your business."
Zhou Man shook his head, "I'll send money to Hedong Road."
Xiao Yuan was frowning, "Didn't you just accept the leave and send it back?"
Zhou Man talked about Master Luo's concerns, and said worriedly: "Typhoid fever, I don't know what medicine they use, Xiao Yuanzheng, you can go to Master Luo to read the notebook later, and see if there is a pulse case attached."
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded, "If there is, I will make a copy and send it to your house, and you can look for the right medicine."
Zhou Man complied, and turned around to find someone to send some money.
After she finished everything, it was almost dark outside, so Zhou Man walked out of the Imperial Medical Office with his stomach supported.
Daji hastily stretched out his hand to help her into the carriage, and took out a paper bag from his arms, "Lady, let's use a pancake first."
Zhou Man took it and found it was still warm, so he peeled it off and took a bite, heaving a sigh of relief: "Finally, I'm done with work, I'm on vacation tomorrow, so I don't have to go to the palace."
Back at the princess mansion, little Bai Jingxing was about to fall asleep. When she heard her mother coming back, she held up a palace lantern to look for her, "Mother, you came back after I was about to fall asleep."
Seeing the glazed palace lantern she was holding, Zhou Man waved and smiled, "Come out again to show off your father giving you the palace lantern?"
Bai Jingxing turned the lamp in his hand and smiled.
Zhou Man reached out and touched her head and said, "Are you going to stay and sleep with your mother tonight?"
Bai Jingxing's eyes brightened, he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
Wu Yue hurriedly said: "My lady, you can't, you are a month old now, in case the little lady kicks you..."
Zhou Man raised his hand to suppress her words and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I have my own measure."
Bai Jingxing climbed onto the bed with a happy face and waited for his mother.
Zhou Man smiled, washed up after dinner, and told her a story for a while with Bai Shanhua's comic book before lying down to sleep.
Zhou Man touched her flushed face and closed his eyes.
Zheng Shi heard that Bai Jingxing slept here at Zhou Man's place at night, and was also worried that she would kick Zhou Man, so she rushed over early in the morning.
The mother and daughter were still lying on the bed and refused to get up. Mrs. Zheng stood outside the window and listened, and then heaved a sigh of relief, then turned her head and said: "Let the kitchen prepare some hot porridge. something hard."
"yes."
Zhou Man woke up when he heard the noise, so Mrs. Zheng went in with the girls. Seeing that Bai Jingxing was still sound asleep, she asked with a smile, "Did she not trouble you at night?"
"No," Zhou Man said with a smile: "There are two quilts, and it's cold at night, so she just tosses in her own quilt."
Mrs. Zheng sat by the bed and looked at Bai Jingxing for a while, touched her face, and whispered: "She misses you. She has been talking about you for the past few days, saying that mother goes out too early in the morning, doesn't come back at noon, and doesn't come back in the evening." Not seeing anyone."
Zhou Man felt a little guilty, "There are a lot of things in the spring, and this time is too busy."
In the past, except in the morning, she would come back to eat at noon, and he could take a nap with her, and he would come back early in the afternoon, and he could take her to play on the street.
Mrs. Zheng took Zhou Man's hand and said, "No matter how busy you are, you should pay attention to rest. Human beings are flesh, not iron and stone. How can you waste them like this? Besides, you are still pregnant."
Zhou Man touched his stomach, nodded and said, "I know, mother, don't worry, I have put down a lot of things recently."
Zheng didn't believe it, "Except for not being on duty at night, I really don't see where you put it down."
She temporarily suspended her teaching in the classroom, and even slowed down the writing of medical books. She had already let go of many things.
But it’s not easy to tell Mrs. Zheng about these things, so she turned her brain hard and finally found it, "This time, I am not on duty at the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Medical Office during the ten-day field vacation. When I came back yesterday, there were still people in the Imperial Medical Office Some people are much busier than me."
Zhou Man said: "Your Majesty and Xiao Yuanzheng have taken good care of me, really."
"Okay, as long as you know it well," Zheng asked, "Didn't the court set maternity leave for female officials? When will you take your leave?"
Zhou Man said, "Wait a few more months."
Zheng Shi: "...you will give birth in two months."
"Then wait another month." One month, the busy work of the Tai Medical Department and the Tai Hospital came to an end.
Zhou Man had a field vacation, and so did the Zhou family's children, so they didn't come to the Princess's Mansion today. I heard that they were taken to Pu Village by the old Zhou Tou and thrown to work in the fields.
Of course, a few-year-old doll can't do much work, so he helps to transport some grass, hand out seedlings and so on.
But Bai Ruoyu didn't have field leave, so he knocked on the back door of the princess mansion early in the morning, and led a group of servants to rush in after knocking, and went straight to Bai Jingxing's yard.
"Xiao Langjun, our little lady is in the main courtyard."
Bai Ruoyu rushed to the main courtyard, and finished what his mother wanted him to pass on in one breath, "Auntie, my mother asked you to go to the academy to play together, and said that after finishing the academy, I would go to the newly opened Jiude Hall for dinner, and I will have dinner in the afternoon." Go buy pens, ink and paper for my sister and me."
Seeing that he didn't take a breath, Zhou Man couldn't help laughing, "How come you have such a good memory, you can memorize such a long passage."
Bai Ruoyu raised her head proudly.
Zhou Man turned his head and said to the servant behind him: "Go and tell the princess, just say see you at the intersection in two quarters of an hour."
The servants responded and left.
The women's school that Mingda and the princess wanted to run began to enroll students this year, and the academy deliberately chose to be on the same street as the Imperial College, which is also on the same street as the Imperial Medical Office, and it is not far away, just diagonally opposite.
The queen personally came forward and bought the house and garden there, and the two houses were combined into one and became a girls' school.
The place is not small, although Zhou Man didn't go in to see it, but I heard from Mingda that it is even more spacious than their Tai Medical Office.
However, the number of students they recruited this year was not many, only sixty-four, and thirty of them were born in small households and entered the female school through the examination.
The remaining thirty-four were the daughters or granddaughters of officials in the court, or daughters of aristocratic families, none of them.
Although the influence of the aristocratic family is not as good as in previous years, in the hearts of folk scholars, the aristocratic family is still the trend, so no daughter from the aristocratic family has been recruited, which makes the princess and Mingda a little anxious.
Zhou Man felt that he was not in a hurry, supported his stomach and straightened his back slightly, let Xibing stuff a pillow behind her and said: "There is no distinction between education, anyway, you are not running the school for fame and fortune, but for more Many women are educated and sensible, they are all women, women from aristocratic families are women, daughters of noble officials are also women, and daughters of ordinary people are also women, who is not taught?"
Zhou Man said: "If the flowers are fragrant, the butterflies will come naturally. The same is true for your women's school. If it is done well, what students can't receive it?"
Mingda's restless heart calmed down, "This time, help me to see if there is anything missing in my studies."
Zhou Man responded in one gulp.
