Man Bao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he asked secretly in a low voice, "Are the other masters like His Majesty and the Prince?"
Aunt Shang:......
Man Bao understood something from her silence. She sighed quietly and nodded to show that she understood.
Aunt Shang became even more silent when she saw this.
Aunt Shang arranged a carriage to take Manbao back to Changqing Lane. She didn't see the pot of flowers she was given until she got home. The pot was pretty, but the leaves looked familiar to her.
While hesitating, Keke said: "Yes, they are the chrysanthemums you sold to the Prince of Yizhou before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Manbao:……
Man Bao brought the flowers to Bai Shan's door, then took out the fox fur and looked at it, and decided to find a shop to make a fox fur when he had time.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang came back just in time for dinner. As soon as they entered the yard, they shouted "I'm starving to death." Man Bao poured a glass of warm water for them. They drank it all in one gulp, then touched their stomachs and asked:
"Are you still ready for dinner?"
Man Bao asked, "Did your Imperial College lose your lunch?"
"It's cold and I get hungry quickly, and today I'm especially busy with my brain," Bai Shan said, "We need to bring some snacks to school tomorrow."
He took out two books and a stack of papers from the book basket and showed them to Man Bao, "We found a lot of books today. Unfortunately, there are not many records about the Imperial Medical Office in the Imperial College, and they are also very trivial and scattered. I'm afraid there will be more
For a few days, how was your conversation with the Queen today?"
Man Bao said: "I have already rejected her, and she has agreed to let Dr. Liu study with me for the time being."
She turned over the pile of paper in her hand and said in surprise: "You still found a lot of things, and you even wrote down the sources."
Bai Erlang sneaked over to Mr. Zhuang's table, touched a piece of snack, gnawed on it, and said, "Of course, not only us, but also Yin You, Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Yi, and Ji Hao all helped to find it."
Man Bao then tilted his head and looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shandao: "I only asked Yin You for help, but I met Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Yi in the library, and they helped me look for it."
As for Ji Hao, he didn't know why he followed him to the library. He was not a person who liked reading.
Man Bao didn't pay attention to Ji Hao either. She carefully read the relevant information copied on the paper. Before she could finish reading a piece of paper, the food was brought out from the kitchen and everyone had to eat first.
Bai Shan rolled up his sleeves to wash his hands. When he passed by his room, he paused. He looked down at the flower pot placed in the middle of the door of his room. After a pause, he bent down and moved it to the study, and then went to wash his hands.
When he came back, he couldn't help but ask Manbao, "Did you place the pot of flowers at the door of my room?"
Manbao nodded.
"Why put it outside? What if it freezes to death?"
Man Bao said: "No, it is very strong."
"That's a chrysanthemum, right? The leaves are still so green in the winter."
Manbao nodded heavily, "Yes, a variant of chrysanthemum."
Bai Erlang asked: "Isn't that very valuable? How do you give it to him?"
Man Bao raised his eyelids and asked: "Do you want it? If someone else gives it to me later, I will give you a pot too."
She turned to Bai Shan and said, "You have a bad mouth, so I give this first pot to you."
Bai Erlang still had questions in his head, but Bai Shan had already realized that this potted flower was a variant of the chrysanthemum originally sold by Manbao.
he:……
Mr. Zhuang also reacted, shook his head and said with a smile: "This is cause and effect, God is still fair."
Man Bao pouted, but did not refute, but angrily ate a large bowl of rice.
Bai Erlang also understood and chuckled endlessly.
Bai Shan found it very interesting. After dinner, he squatted in the study and looked at the pot of chrysanthemums for a long time. He thought thoughtfully: "Other chrysanthemums can only bloom until early winter at most. It is already late winter. How come its leaves are still like this?"
Verdant?"
Man sat at his desk and continued to read the information they had copied back, and then said casually: "It's a mutant, it can withstand cold."
Bai Shan: "If we prune and cultivate the branches, wouldn't we be able to enjoy chrysanthemums in winter in the future?"
"Don't think about it. The genes of this flower are unstable. If it blooms once, you won't know what it will look like the second time. I heard it's ugly."
This was not the first time that Bai Shan heard the word gene from Man Bao. He also knew what genes were. Hearing the words, he said: "Then cut and graft the branches and see if we can grow other flowers?"
He said: "If it is possible, there will be many flowers to enjoy in winter."
Manbao turned over a piece of paper and said nonchalantly: "Then you can pick it up. It's best to pick flowers that are edible. There are no green leafy vegetables to eat in winter. I'm tired of eating all the vegetables in the cellar. Take a look.
Can you pick up some vegetables and plant them?"
After saying this, Man Bao paused, turned to look at the chrysanthemum leaves on the ground, and thought: "If the green vegetables in winter can grow like this pot of chrysanthemums, then we won't have to worry about running out of vegetables."
Bai Shan also looked at the pot of chrysanthemums in front of him and thought deeply, "Did the palace originally grow them in a greenhouse or outside?"
Man Bao: "Oh, I forgot to ask."
Because chrysanthemums were not valuable to Keke, she didn't take them seriously.
When Bai Shan heard this, he simply moved the flower pot to the yard, found a place that could protect it from the wind and snow, and decided to prove it through an experiment.
Xiang Mingxue was about to close the ventilation window when he saw it and couldn't help but shake his head.
Xiang Chao didn't dare to let Xiang Mingxue stand for too long yet, so he quickly went to help close the window. He also saw it and couldn't help but exclaimed, "How can such a valuable pot of chrysanthemums be left outside to catch the cold?"
Xiang Mingxue said: "This is why we are inferior to them."
Xiang Chao was puzzled, but Xiang Mingxue didn't answer any more. He helped Xiang Chao back to the bed and continued his rehabilitation.
He can barely move two steps now, but it's still not stable, and he doesn't dare to overdo it, so he can only recover slowly.
Bai Shan put the flower pots away and went back to the study to sort out the information with Man Bao. By the way, he talked about the plans and ideas for the Imperial Medical Office.
Bai Erlang was sitting at his desk, lighting a candle and immersed himself in writing a biography. Today, Bai Shan was forced to do white work, and he hadn't had time to write it yet.
Mr. Zhuang was also in the study, occasionally answering questions from Bai Shan and Man Bao, such as how the General Staff Department and the Household Department operate, and how to report if the Imperial Medical Office adds new medical staff.
Seeing that their proposals were getting more and more, Mr. Zhuang gradually turned away from them. In the end, it looked more like he was setting up a medical school than a hospital for women.
After all, I am still a child, and I only go to and from school on weekdays, so I treat all functional departments the same as in school.
He shook his head and smiled, interrupting their various questions and saying: "According to your plan, it will be like setting up a school. There are also ready-made examples of this, such as the Imperial College."
Bai Shan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Sir, do you think the court will agree?"
