However, Man Bao couldn't ask too many questions in front of others. But she had already hinted to the other party that she should see a doctor again.
She felt that those married women were not simple, and she was almost like a child in front of them, so she didn't think they understood.
She felt that she had fulfilled her obligation, so she happily led Dr. Liu to the palace gate and said to her, "You can go back and have half-day classes. There will be winter vacation tomorrow."
Dr. Liu responded, bowed and stepped back.
Man Bao returns to Chongwen Hall, but unfortunately she will be on duty tomorrow and cannot leave the palace yet.
This is Manbao's first time on duty at Tai Hospital.
In order to make it easier for people to call, she had to bring her own bedding and sleep in the Tai Hospital for a night. There was no way. Although the Tai Hospital had ready-made ones, she didn't want to use what Xiao Yuanzheng and the others had used.
Xiao Yuanzheng also understood that she was a girl and asked someone to clean up a small room for her alone.
By chance, Dr. Liu and her were scheduled for the same night.
As soon as night fell, many lights were turned off in various places in the palace, and only two lights were turned on in the Imperial Hospital. The medical assistants gathered everything away, then brought a brazier and sat in the office of the Imperial Hospital to talk.
Doctor Liu took out a small bag of soybeans from nowhere, grabbed a small handful and placed them beside the stove. After roasting them for a while, he invited the stunned Man Bao to eat them together.
This was the first time for Man Bao to participate in a night watch party like theirs. He picked two soybeans to eat out of curiosity, then nodded and said, "It's almost the same as the beans my sister-in-law fry."
Doctor Liu said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng has good teeth. If you happen to be on duty with him, he will roast the dried meat."
Man Bao started to think, "Then do I have to prepare something for night watch next time?"
Doctor Liu said cheerfully: "How many times do you have to be on duty a year? It's not necessary."
She only had to be on duty during long holidays, firstly to prevent emergencies in the palace that needed her, and secondly to stop other people's mouths.
He smiled and said: "You are still young, so you don't have to stay with us. You can eat something and take a rest before going to bed."
"What about you, Dr. Liu?"
Doctor Liu smiled and said: "I will stay for another two hours and go to bed if there is nothing to do. There are also medical assistants. If there are patients in the palace, they will call us."
The medical assistants on the side also quickly said that they would be on separate duty and would not miss any movement.
We are all people who are accustomed to duty, so we will not neglect our duties in these matters.
Man Bao nodded, then ate beans with them around the stove and talked by the way.
Imperial Physician Liu mainly talked about the students in the Imperial Medical Office, "There are a few students there who are really good. They have learned a lot outside. They can form separate classes and teach for another two or three years before they can graduate."
He said: "Xiao Yuan and I are thinking that we shouldn't delay them for too long, so we each want to bring one to teach by our side. This way, we can start training faster, and they can also help next year."
Manbao rolled his eyes and recommended her apprentice, "Mr. Liu, what do you think of my Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao?"
Doctor Liu:......
They want to bring people around to teach them in the name of accepting disciples, the kind of apprentices who start by kowtowing and serving tea. What does it mean when you introduce your own disciples to them?
Doctor Liu simply commented and said: "Zheng Gu is indeed good. He can start training outside. Zheng Shao still needs to study for a few more years."
But he didn't say anything about accepting people.
Man Bao looked at him suspiciously, and Imperial Physician Liu raised his eyes to glance at her. Man Bao understood immediately, "Are you going to recruit disciples in the Imperial Medical Office?"
Doctor Liu coughed lightly and said, "I don't have many apprentices. Isn't it because I am reluctant to give up when I meet a good talent?"
In fact, none of them thought about recruiting disciples from outside. After all, each of them had many nephews and nephews, and there were many things going on in the hospital. It would be very laborious to teach the nephews at home.
It can be seen that Zhou Man has accepted four disciples, not to mention one is his niece, and the remaining two, one Zheng Shao, are less qualified, but Zheng Gu and Sanniang have made great progress.
Not to mention Zheng Gu, Liu Sanniang was his granddaughter, and he saw that she was progressing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Now, she has been able to go to the back house of a wealthy family to see doctors, and is respectfully called Doctor Liu, but her son and her uncle's reputation outside the country is still a little worse.
The rapid development of Jishi Hall led by Zhou Man still gave them a sense of urgency, so they also urgently needed some outstanding disciples.
Man Bao didn't think it was anything, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, then Zheng Gu and the others can only be taken care of by me myself."
Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief, while Man Bao sighed, "I don't have enough time."
Doctor Liu laughed and said, "You are complaining that you don't have enough time now. When the local medical office opens, it will only become busier."
At this point, Doctor Liu thought of something and lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that Mr. Yang is going to be released. Is it true?"
After all, the Taiyuan Hospital was a little slower than the ministers in the court regarding news in this regard.
Man Bao nodded, "It's already eight points accurate."
Imperial Physician Liu sighed, "I don't know who will take over. The Imperial Physician's Office has just been opened, so I don't dare to cut off the funds, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted."
Why did the Imperial Medical Office of the previous dynasty gradually disappear within a few years of its opening?
Isn’t it because of lack of money?
When the last emperor wanted money for the war, the Ministry of Household Affairs directly cut off the supply of the Imperial Medical Office. Later, the Imperial Medical Office continued to save money and food for another two years, and finally released the students, and the Imperial Medical Office existed in name only.
This was also one of the reasons why Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Doctor Liu were most worried when Zhou Man said he wanted to open an imperial medical office.
What's more, what she wrote in her book was not only the Imperial Medical Office, but also the establishment of local medical offices, which would only cost more than the previous government.
Man Bao also worried for a moment after hearing this. He didn't know if the things given by Senior Brother Yang would allow them to get money from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
But it's a matter of money. The boat will go straight to the bridge, and Man Bao will be able to sail it if he wants.
So she comforted Imperial Physician Liu, "It's okay. There are still emperors, empresses and princes up there. If the sky falls, there will be a tall one to hold it up. So much money has been spent on building the Imperial Physician's Office and the Medical Office. If Your Majesty gives up halfway, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?"
"
She said firmly: "I don't believe he doesn't feel bad when he thinks that all the money in front of him is wasted. As long as he feels bad about the money in front of him, he will continue to invest. It's just like gambling."
Doctor Liu:......
The medical assistants on the side were also dumbfounded, and then lowered their heads silently, pretending that they had heard nothing just now.
The two of them chatted a lot around the stove, and the medical assistants also listened to many "secrets" with great interest. Then Manbao's biological clock reached the time and he couldn't help but yawn.
Doctor Liu looked at the time and said to her: "You go and wash up and go to bed. I'll sit here for a while."
Man Bao asked, "Is there a high chance of visiting a doctor at night?"
After thinking for a while, Doctor Liu said: "One of the three nights will call for help. I think tonight will be fine. The main reason is that the three empresses have been feeling unwell in the past two days and have gone to see Kai during the day."
It’s easy.”
So they all know the patients in the palace well.
Man Bao nodded and went to sleep with peace of mind.
