Man Bao, who had no idea that he could treat chickens or would soon be able to treat pigs, was standing on the field ridge with his hands folded, watching people in the distance turning over the straw covering the wheat fields.
The weather has been nice these two days, and it seems to be getting warmer. Turning out the straw and letting the wheat seedlings get exposure to the sun will make them grow faster.
The few fields in front of Manbao are empty, and should be reserved for planting rice.
Xi Cing stood behind Man Bao and said enviously: "Sir, the fields here are really nice and the weather is nice."
No wonder they always heard that the Central Plains was rich when they were in the Western Regions. It turned out that their fields were so good.
Man Bao smiled at her and sighed: "Spring is here, how many days are left until the Ming Jing exam?"
Xibing didn't know, so Jiulan replied: "There are still seven days."
Jiulan glanced in the distance, walked to Manbao and whispered: "Madam, look over there, there are two people who have been looking at you."
Man Bao turned around and saw a man carrying a hoe. There was another person standing next to him. Because he was too far away, Man Bao couldn't see the person clearly, but judging from his demeanor, he seemed to be an old man.
Man Bao squinted his eyes and couldn't help but ask Jiulan and Xibing, "Can you see clearly who they are?"
Xi Cake had the best eyes. After looking at them for a long time, he said: "One looks about thirty years old, and the other looks like sixty years old, like grandparents. The old one is well-dressed, like silk and satin."
Except for the stewards, few people in this village can wear silk.
Jiulan said: "Madam, they are just looking at you. They look like two father-in-laws."
There are many father-in-laws in this village.
Manbao thought for a while and said to Jiulan: "Go and ask."
Jiulan agreed and walked towards them.
Seeing Jiulan walking towards them, the child chamberlain covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed softly. She said in a soft voice: "Young people are very curious. Isn't this a good thing? In that palace, the last thing to do is
It’s just curiosity.”
The boy's chamberlain said: "Daddy? I'll see Dr. Zhou soon. You can say some soft words and she'll cure your illness without saying anything."
The waiter said calmly: "If it can't be cured, didn't I ask Dr. Liu to help me look at it before? It was just a few prescriptions."
"Both the capital and the palace say that Dr. Zhou is a little miracle doctor."
The child servant smiled and said: "Silly child? Jingli calls her a miracle doctor because she can open the abdomen and cure infertility? How does it have anything to do with my disease? When it comes to my internal disease, the most capable person is
It’s still Xiao Yuanzheng and Dr. Liu.”
The little chamberlain was a little annoyed? "Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't invite him..."
The child chamberlain said nonchalantly: "How many people in the capital can invite Xiao Yuanzheng? Apart from those high-ranking princes and marquises, only third-rank foreign ministers have the chance to invite him? That's it.
It’s hard for the ladies in the palace to invite him, let alone a eunuch like me.”
The boy's face turned red and he still wanted to speak? The boy's waiter said calmly: "We're here."
When he raised his head, he saw a maid beside Imperial Physician Zhou walking over cautiously, carrying a skirt.
But before she got close, the patrolling guards saw her and immediately ran over to stop her, pointing at them and shouting: "What are you doing? You are not allowed to cross the fence? Anyone who violates this will be shot to death."
Jiulan was startled. Then she stopped. She waited until the guards ran over and then patted her chest and said, "You scared me to death? I didn't even think about crossing the fence."
The guards who were about to reprimand her choked, and then looked at her. They were familiar with her, and the veins on their foreheads jumped, "Miss Jiulan? Why is it you?"
Then he turned to look at the servant boy and his son opposite, and couldn't help but frown. "Who are you? Don't you know that this is an epidemic area and you are not allowed to get close?"
The boy waiter covered his mouth and coughed. The boy waiter immediately put down his hoe, supported the boy waiter with both hands and said: "Your Excellency, we did not cross the fence and did not dare to go in. It was the old friend of the Imperial Physician Zhou who asked us to come here.
Yes, I just want to give Dr. Zhou something."
Jiulan looked at the guards with an innocent face, pointed at Zhou Man and said, "Nuo, our wife is over there. She has never been near outsiders. She only asked me to deliver a message."
The guards were accustomed to delivering things and letters to Zhou Man during this time, and they were also soft-spoken. They couldn't say anything harsh at the moment, they could only stand aside and stare at the two servants, shouting harshly.
He said: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. Also, if you want to send messages in the future, you can only go to the checkpoint. You are not allowed to come over privately."
Although they used wooden sticks and hemp ropes to surround the infected area, even children could cross it with just a lift of their feet.
This thing can't stop people at all, it just lets the people in the palace know that people inside are not allowed to cross these fences to go out, and people outside are not allowed to cross these fences to go in. It all depends on everyone's self-consciousness.
Although the guards patrolled, they could not keep an eye on such a large infected area at all times, so they were very dissatisfied with the behavior of the two servants.
Although Imperial Physician Zhou always communicated with the outside world, the only things he sent out were letters, and they were all sent through formal channels - their checkpoints. They also always sent beautiful and warm cakes, so they didn't find it troublesome.
They felt that Dr. Zhou was a person who abided by the rules. If the two servants had not come here to seduce him, Dr. Zhou would not have done anything to embarrass them.
So they glared at the servant boy and his son, appearing very unfriendly.
Child maid:......
Even the child chamberlain was silent for a moment, then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over, and said to Jiulan: "This handkerchief was given by an old friend of Imperial Physician Zhou. I give it to Imperial Physician Zhou, and Imperial Physician Zhou will tell you."
clear."
The imperial guard stepped forward and took the veil. He looked over it and saw nothing, so he handed it to Jiulan.
They mainly prevent the things inside from being handed out. As for the things outside, as long as they are not contraband, they generally don't care.
Jiulan took the handkerchief and asked, "What do you call the two gentlemen?"
The little boy's chamberlain bent down and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously. Our father and son's surname is Tong."
Jiulan looked at them in surprise, looked them up and down, nodded, saluted and went back.
She handed the veil to Man Bao and said with a curious look on her face: "Madam, I heard that they spoke softly, just like the chamberlains who came to the house, and their faces were pale and beardless. I thought they were too... Who knew they were
It's a father and son. It's strange, why doesn't the old man have a beard?"
Man Bao took the handkerchief and looked at it, but didn't see anything. He explained nonchalantly: "Who said the chamberlain can't be father and son? They both mentioned the surname Tong, so they should be chamberlain Tong and his godson.
"
Jiulan: "...child maid?"
"Oh, you don't know. He was a young prisoner from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to Dr. Liu, he was put in our imperial palace. However, he was old. His Majesty was kind and did not punish him to work.
If he is asked to come to the Imperial Mansion to retire, his godson will serve him."
Man Bao thought about it for a while, then said: "It was also from the fourth rank, and it was as big as my official position. Unfortunately, it is gone now."
Jiulan and Xibing:...Is this half of your reasons?
