Man Bao looked at his pulse chart and carefully recalled the face he saw that day, then he considered prescribing a prescription for him and wrote down the doctor's instructions.
He also found a bottle of ointment for him and said, "Let's mix it up internally and externally. I didn't think it was very serious that day from a distance. If I eat lightly, it should be faster."
Man Bao secretly earned extra money in the palace, and did not leave the palace until he had time to take a rest to formally meet Ping Bang second, and then went to check on Mrs. Tang. The outpatient clinic business was in full swing.
She always brought her apprentice and nephew-in-law Liu Sanniang with her when doing these things, also because she wanted her to gain experience and build a reputation.
The acne on the face of the second-ranked student was not particularly serious. According to him, he was prone to acne when he was nervous during exams. The Jinshi exam was so big this time, so he had the most acne in his life.
Originally, he wanted to find a medical clinic outside and see a doctor, but he took medicine for two decades without much use, and instead grew a few more pills.
He couldn't help it, because his wife mentioned that there was a good whitening cream and anti-acne cream in Beijing, which was produced by the Zhou family. I heard that the chef at Zhou Ji Restaurant used to have acne on his face, but now it is as smooth as ever, with no more acne.
After asking around, they found out that the chef of Zhou Ji Restaurant was Zhou Man's sixth brother, and that the whitening cream and anti-acne cream were also made by Zhou Man's sister-in-law and niece.
He then took advantage of the opportunity of having dinner with his classmates to strike up a conversation with Bai Shan and found Zhou Man.
Not to mention, he felt much better just after taking the medicine according to her prescription for seven days, because the acne on his face was no longer so red and bright. Even he felt that it was getting better, let alone his wife.
So when they officially met Zhou Man, Ping Bangyan enthusiastically wanted to invite her and Bai Shan to dinner. The two of them were about to agree when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
She was so anxious that Man Bao felt that she had seen her before. She quickly stood up and said, "Let someone go and see who is knocking on the door..."
Man Bao had already walked out quickly, and Bai Shan felt that the knock on the door was very familiar. Even though he was not at home, he followed him out quickly.
Pingbangyan's eyes flashed, and he immediately got up and followed him out.
The door opened, and Daji, who was waiting outside with his horse, immediately said: "Miss Man, there is a summons from the palace."
Man Bao didn't ask anything in front of the second place winner. He nodded to him and said: "The second place winner, today is an unlucky day. Let's eat it another day."
The second-ranked person nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is busy, so go ahead, Brother Bai..."
Bai Shan also took over the other horse from Daji and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, let's go home first."
They came in a guard's carriage today. Man Bao asked Liu Sanniang to go back in the carriage. She quickly rode home with Bai Shan, not caring about riding on the street, and quickly returned to Zhou's house.
The person waiting at the Zhou family was not a chamberlain, but a medical assistant from the palace.
Man Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, jumped off his horse and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Imperial Medical Office or the Imperial Hospital?"
"In the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Doctor Liu urgently called for all the imperial doctors to return to the palace."
Man Bao nodded in agreement, turned to Bai Shan and said, "I'll go to the palace first."
She got on the carriage that came to pick people up from the palace and then asked the medical assistant, "What happened?"
"I don't know either. It's just that Dr. Liu received an urgent report from Shangshu Province before this." The medical assistant paused and said, "I don't know where the epidemic is."
"It's winter now, how can there be an epidemic?"
Epidemics can occur in all seasons, but it still likes spring and summer the most. Epidemics may also occur in early autumn, but usually in winter...
Man Bao was startled and asked, "Is it the wind and cold?"
The medical assistant looked at her innocently, he didn't know.
Manbao could only hold back and go to the palace.
Before Bai Shan turned around, Mr. Zhuang called him with a serious face and said, "Master Yang of Xiazhou has sent you a letter. Come and take a look."
Isn't it normal for Yang Heshu to write letters? Why does Mr. Zhuang look so gloomy?
Bai Shan quickly followed him into the mansion, caught up with him and asked, "Sir, did something happen in Xiazhou?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said: "The people who came to Xiazhou were not servants of the Yang family, but soldiers guarding the post station outside the city. He said... there was smallpox in Xiazhou."
Bai Shan's pupils shrank and his breathing quickened. He quickened his pace and went to the study. Bai Erlang had already opened the thick envelope, not only read their share, but also handed over the one that was given to Man Bao alone.
I also read the secret message.
Anyway, they were all put together. Although the letter was addressed to Man Bao, I definitely didn't want to avoid them.
As soon as he saw Mr. Zhuang and Bai Shan coming in, he immediately jumped up holding the letter and said: "Xiazhou Brother Yang's letter, Xiazhou woo woo woo..."
Bai Dalang's face turned pale as he took a look at the letter, but he still quickly covered Bai Erlang's mouth.
Mr. Zhuang took the letter from Bai Erlang and said slowly: "Why are you so impatient? Can't you say something slowly?"
Bai Dalang felt calmer after listening to Mr. Zhuang's words. Bai Erlang also calmed down, pulled off his elder brother's hand, and stared at the two of them with bright eyes.
Bai Shan took the folded letter paper and found that it was written to the three of them. Most of them were words of congratulations and thanks. When they wrote to him some time ago, they sent some local products from the capital.
He directly pressed down the letter and turned to look at what Mr. Zhuang was holding.
That was a letter written to Man Bao.
Mr. Zhuang read it ten lines at a time. After reading one picture, he handed one to Bai Shan. Bai Shan immediately took it and read it.
Yang Heshu wrote to Zhou Man to ask for advice, or to be precise, to ask for help.
Smallpox broke out in Xiazhou, and the number of people found so far is not very large. He has basically controlled the people who are sick now, but he can't burn the living people, can he?
So now they can only control the person, but not the disease. The doctors in Xiazhou are not as good as those in the capital, let alone those in the palace, so he asked Zhou Man if he had any prescriptions for treating smallpox.
It would be better if Tai Hospital could send someone to Xiazhou.
Bai Shan also read it at a glance. Later, he briefly wrote how smallpox was discovered in Xiazhou. Seeing some of the names of people and places, Bai Shan felt bad, "No, the disease actually started from the north of the city."
Yes, can Senior Brother Yang control everyone?"
At this time, the palace was also discussing this issue. Because of Yang Heshu's urgent document, the important officials from the three provinces were called together for a meeting. Because it was related to the epidemic, the Taiyuan Hospital was also present.
Doctor Liu took Doctor Xiao and Man Bao with him.
The reason why I brought Dr. Xiao was naturally because he had been working as a hospital clerk for many years and had neither medical skills nor prestige. I brought Dr. Zhou Man on because she was good at eloquence and she was good at editing. She was too good for the hospital and would not suffer too much if there was an argument.
So everyone sat down in attendance.
First, Yin Li said: "Master Yang said that someone in the governor's house of Xiazhou was also suffering from smallpox. When he sealed the city gate and the governor's house, Niu's eldest son was no longer in the house, so he suggested that the capital should intercept all those coming from the north.
