Chapter 3206 Small talk

"It's a pity that you are keeping filial piety. I originally thought that I would invite you to Qingzhou to play. There is a sea and a wharf. The goods from south to north are all traded on the wharf, and there are many good things."

Chang Yu also sighed, "Mingda also wrote it in the letter to me, and said that you have built a courtyard by the sea, and you can watch the sea from the attic, where pearls and some seafood are extremely cheap."

Zhou Man took her hand and said, "You can go and have a look when you are out of filial piety."

Chang Yu did not speak.

Zhou Man probed to see her expression, "What's wrong?"

Chang Yu sighed and said: "The concubine must keep filial piety, the official position in the court has been suspended, he has already discussed with me, after the filial piety period, he wants to seek out the official position, and then I will definitely follow, Qingzhou, I am afraid I will go. No more."

Zhou Man smiled and said: "What's the matter, can you and your concubine take a two-month leave to come and see us? Don't you want to be together all the time, and can't be separated for a moment?"

Chang Yu couldn't help scratching her, "Just laugh at me, which one doesn't the wife go with the husband, where the husband goes, where does the wife go?"

Zhou Man secretly said in his heart: She is not.

She thought about it and said, "Mingda is not."

The reason why Mingda and Bai Er went to Qingzhou was because Mingda wanted to go, so Bai Er joined the prince's business trip. Later, the prince left Qingzhou, and Bai Er simply took leave with the Hanlin Academy and stayed in Qingzhou.

Speaking of which, Bai Er's leave was a bit long. If it wasn't for his father-in-law being the emperor, he would have been dismissed long ago.

Seeing that she was suddenly stunned, Chang Yu pushed her and asked, "What do you think?"

"I'm wondering whether to help Bai Er find an official position in Qingzhou."

"Forget it," Chang Yu said, "Mingda has a big heart, and I'm afraid she doesn't want to stay in Qingzhou. If she wants to go elsewhere, it will be difficult for her consort to have an official position."

Zhou Man heard the same thing, but when he entered the palace and said goodbye to the emperor, he couldn't help but talk about the great achievements of Mingda and Bai Erlang in Qingzhou, "...The medical office, Yushantang and Guantian Wharf are all supported by princesses and concubines. , Your Majesty, have you thought about rewarding them as an official?"

The emperor raised his eyelids to look at her, "I don't mind being the princess and the concubine, but I think the governor of Guo does. Why don't you ask the governor of Guo if he wants to be the princess and the concubine?"

Zhou Man immediately fell silent.

The emperor waved his hand with disgust on his face and said, "Okay, I know you are leaving tomorrow, so I won't leave you here today. Let's go to the East Palace to say goodbye."

Zhou Man didn't want to go to the East Palace, but the emperor mentioned it, so she could only go to the East Palace to say goodbye.

She had to pass through the Taiyuan Hospital from the Taiji Hall to the East Palace, so she simply turned in and said goodbye to her colleagues.

The Tai Hospital was a little more lively than before. Zhou Liru and several medical assistants were cutting medicines and arranging medicinal materials in the yard. Seeing Zhou Man, he immediately got up and greeted him, "Little aunt!"

Zhou Man nodded to her and asked, "Are Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Liu there?"

"Yes," Zhou Liru lowered his voice and said, "Master Luo is also there."

Zhou Man nodded and said in a low voice, "You and Liu Huan will go home for dinner after the ya, I'll be leaving tomorrow, and our family will have a reunion dinner tonight."

Zhou Li responded as follows.

Zhou Man went to Xiao Yuanzheng to leave.

When Lord Luo saw her, he quickly got up and saluted, "Master Zhou."

Zhou Man returned a salute and smiled with a few people: "I will be leaving Beijing tomorrow, and I will say goodbye to all of you today."

Lord Luo smiled and said, "This time Lord Zhou can be said to have gone with a full load."

Zhou Man complimented: "It's Xiao Yuanzheng and Lord Luo who are generous."

Xiao Yuanzheng waved his hand and said, "Stop flattering, let's talk about it, I feel distressed, and those things will not be given to you."

Zhou Man immediately shut up.

Imperial Physician Liu said with a smile: "Master Zhou went to the pharmacy the day before yesterday and yesterday, do you have any suggestions?"

"No," Zhou Man shook his head and said, "They have done a good job, especially the craft of penicillin. They are more skilled than me, and they have improved the equipment to make the production faster."

Lord Luo suddenly said: "I heard that Tubo has been moving frequently recently, and it has conflicted with Longyouqi several times."

Zhou Man raised his eyebrows, "Master Luo is worried about the increase in the consumption of medicinal materials in the army, and needs a finished medicine?"

Lord Luo nodded and said, "Master Zhou, do you think we should let the pharmacy increase production?"

Zhou Man thought thoughtfully, "You should have prepared earlier."

Xiao Yuanzheng: "...I went to the Ministry of War to ask. It's just a customary conflict before winter, and it shouldn't lead to a big war."

He said: "I am in Dajin, now the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The army is strong and strong. How dare the Tubo attack?

Zhou Mandao: "It will take about three years, and even if it is not used in the military, there will be a lot of local expenses, so I am not afraid of losing sales."

"The finished medicine is too expensive, and some pills are not as effective as decoctions. With so much production, who can sell them?"

"You can rest assured," Zhou Man said, "Don't say that this is just a pharmacy, even if you open two more, the finished medicines produced can be sold. I have so many people in Dajin, and some of them are rich and rich. When people prepare medicines, they can be used as medicines.”

Master Luo nodded again and again, and together with Zhou Man, persuaded Xiao Yuanzheng, "And since there are students from the Imperial Physician Department in the army, the consumption of medicinal materials has increased, and the number of patent medicines has also increased. Even if there is no war, these medicines It can also be used up.”

Zhou Man: "It's not that I am a strong soldier this year, and I live and work in peace and contentment. When has the war ended in these years? Don't worry, there is no shortage of people to buy our medicine."

Xiao Yuanzheng: ... He said this as if he was looking forward to fighting and that the soldiers were injured.

Xiao Yuanzheng was finally persuaded by the two of them that the pharmacy wanted to expand production.

Lord Luo let out a breath, and sure enough, Zhou Manman was right. For this matter, he had been grinding the Xiaoyuan for two months, and as a result, he was unwilling to expand production.

Xiao Yuan was sending Zhou Man out of the Imperial Hospital, but he was actually whispering to her, and the two walked slowly along the palace road to the East Palace, he lowered his voice and said, "I've been too busy these days, I haven't been able to I ask you, what do you think of His Majesty's pulse?"

Zhou Man looked around.

Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Don't look, this palace road is open, no one can hear us."

Only then did Zhou Man whisper: "Compared with the last time I left the capital, it is much more empty. This is due to the lack of energy. Perhaps it is because His Majesty fell ill last time, and the lesions have not been removed. I am afraid that I will often get sick in the future."

Xiao Yuan is nodding, "I also have this concern, so I plan to persuade Your Majesty to go out for the winter."

Zhou Man was surprised, "Are you going to use Tangquan to treat your illness?"

"Yes, Your Majesty has severe phlegm-dampness, but is also deficient in qi. If you take medicine, I'm afraid that the deficiency will not be replenished, and it will cause other diseases." Xiao Yuan said: "So the best way is to go out of the palace to spend the winter, and when the time comes, it will cause other diseases. Slowly adjust with acupuncture.”

Zhou Man nodded, "This is indeed a good idea."

"Do you have any advice on needlework?"

"Really," Zhou Man whispered: "If your lord is free in the afternoon, I will go to you to discuss acupuncture after I meet the prince."

Tonight is too late, there is one more to make up tomorrow, good night
