Manbao's eyes lit up and he was even more anxious to go home, "Mr. Zheng, I'm going home first. By the way, you can tell Jishi Hall later. Let the Ministry of Revenue buy the medicinal materials before telling them..."
Imperial Physician Zheng: "...Physician Zhou, you are overthinking it. Our Jishi Hall hangs a pot to help the world, and we will not take advantage of others' danger."
Man Bao nodded, "Of course I believe you and Shopkeeper Zheng, but I'm afraid that other members of the Zheng family don't think so."
Doctor Zheng paused, then covered his stomach and said, "Oh no, I have some stomach discomfort. I have to go back to the hospital. Doctor Zhou should leave the palace first."
Since it's hard to talk about this kind of thing, I'll just leave the palace later. I happened to be checking the recorded cases of smallpox treatment in the Tai Hospital to see if there were any prescriptions that could be used. The whole night passed quickly.
.
Man Bao watched him holding his stomach and slowly turning back to the hospital, then shook his head and left the palace.
Probably no one in the family expected that she would be able to leave the palace today, so no one was waiting outside the palace. Man Bao thought for a while and walked out along the imperial city. When she saw Liu Shangshu's carriage in the distance, she shook her head.
He took action and took Liu Shangshu's carriage out of the imperial city.
Man Bao and Liu Shangshu sat opposite each other, one on the left and the other on the right. The old man and the young man looked at each other and sighed together.
Liu Shangshu asked Zhou Man, "Is there any prescription for preventing and treating smallpox?"
Man Bao said: "Drinking medicine to prevent and cure it is useless. It is transmitted by evil things. It can be transmitted by droplets and contact. Therefore, people in the family should go out less often. Things should be washed cleanly. Not only the master but also the drinking water of the servants should be boiled.
Use it afterward, and be sure to keep it tidy inside and outside the house, as most of the routes of infection are cut off here."
"The remaining half depends on people's hearts."
The smallpox evil is not a tall monster or monster that can be seen with the naked eye, so there will always be mistakes and omissions.
Man Bao thought about it and said after a while: "But the mouth and nose should be the most important thing, and then the exposed hands and feet. Well, maybe your family can find a piece of cloth, preferably cotton cloth, to cover the mouth and nose, and cover it with a few more layers
That’s it.”
Liu Shangshu: ...What's the matter with wearing a mask? You think he can't see people because he's so secretive?
In the end, Manbao gave him a prescription, "This is either a prescription to prevent smallpox or a prescription to cure smallpox, but no one knows how effective it is. If Liu Shangshu wants me to, I will write you one."
In fact, she didn't think he needed it. If her family really got smallpox, even if they couldn't hire a doctor from the Tai Hospital, it would not be difficult to go directly to the Tai Hospital to ask for a prescription.
But Doctor Liu happily accepted it, and then sent the person to the door of Zhou's house before returning to Liu's house.
It was almost getting dark by now.
Man Bao used the last bit of light to knock on the door. When the concierge opened the door and saw Zhou Man coming back, he was startled. Seeing that she was the only one outside, without any guards or carriages, he immediately felt distressed. While letting people in, he shouted inside.
: "Miss Man is back, Miss Man is back."
Liu Lang and the others lived in the first courtyard from the side entrance. They were the first to hear the shouts. Lao Zhoutou and the others had just finished their meal and were sitting in the main room. When they heard the sound, they hurried out.
Zhou Liru ran the fastest and rushed to him in a flash. He was nervous and deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Sister-in-law, uncle, they said there is a plague outside, right? Does it matter to you?"
Lao Zhoutou and Qian were also worried.
They have never seen the plague in their entire lives, but they have heard of it.
Not to mention the distance, when the Jianwei Weir burst its embankments, a plague broke out in some places. The number of people who died at that time was equal to that of those who were washed away by the water. I heard from people who fled to their county that the person who died was
It was in pieces, and it was very uncomfortable before death. I was hungry but also had vomiting and diarrhea. When the bleeding started, I died immediately.
The plague is as terrible as the flood, even more terrible than the flood.
If you encounter a flood, you can still survive by hiding in a high place, but what should you do if you encounter a plague?
Before Man Bao came back, Lao Zhoutou asked Qian, "Do you want to go to the mountain to worship Master Tianzun?"
Man Bao came back and vetoed him directly. She said: "Don't go out at home recently. Brother, the winter wheat has been planted in Pucun. Don't go out either. Occasionally, just go to the restaurant to help. Don't go to too busy places."
…”
Man Bao warned here, and Bai Shan and the others rushed over after getting the news.
Seeing that their three brothers, Mrs. Liu and Mr. Zhuang, were helping them over, she simply explained the precautions again, then looked at Bai Dalang and said: "Senior Brother Bai, please don't go back to Changqing Lane recently.
Bring your sister-in-law and nephew over and live here together, and the servants should try not to go out."
"Are you going to Xiazhou?" Bai Shan interrupted her and asked.
Man Bao sighed and nodded at him.
Before the first few people in Lao Zhou could be surprised, Bai Shan said calmly: "I'll go with you."
Bai Erlang opened his mouth wide, looked at Man Bao, then at Bai Shan, and finally gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "I, I'll go too."
Bai Dalang grabbed him, and Bai Erlang "hissed" and immediately hid behind Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang frowned, "None of the three of you have ever had acne."
Man Bao was also worried and said to Bai Shan, "Let me think about it."
She would have to ask Teacher Mo and Keke.
Bai Shan looked at Man Bao quietly, thinking that she wanted to ask Uncle Zhou, and nodded after a while.
The old Zhou family was naturally not happy to let Man Bao go, but Man Bao said: "Father, mother, this is an assignment from the Taiyuan Hospital."
Old Zhoutou was speechless. He didn't have a high level of consciousness, but he knew a truth. After serving the emperor's family's food, he had to do his duty for the emperor's family.
What's more, saving people is a matter of great merit.
Lao Zhou was discouraged and said to Qian: "Let's prepare luggage for the child."
Mrs. Liu also sighed. Although Man Bao had not yet confirmed her agreement to let Bai Shan go, based on her understanding of the two children, Shan Bao would definitely go, and there was a high probability that Man Bao would not be able to stop him.
So after returning home, he also said to Zheng: "Please also pack Shanbao's things."
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help wiping her tears, but she didn't say anything against it.
Mrs. Liu clapped her hand and sighed: "That's what happens when children grow up. When people grow up, their ideas will change. After all, it is their life, and we should not interfere too much."
"My daughter-in-law understands that she is just worried."
"I know, I'm worried too, but I thought Man Bao is an imperial physician and Shan Bao has always been in good health, so he should be fine."
Zheng thought along this line of thought, "Erlang may be in good health, but Manbao has been in poor health since he was a child. He has become mellower and healthier in recent years. I'm afraid he is more susceptible to diseases than Shanbao and Erlang."
"That's the truth," Mrs. Liu sighed. "It's a pity that she is an imperial physician. This is her duty and she can't get away from it."
