It was easy to say many things that were difficult to say to Zhou Man, not to mention that there were several old ladies here who had gotten along with Man Bao and asked her to come to her home for consultation.

The mother of the Crown Princess, Mrs. Pi Guogong, stretched out her hand to wave to Man Bao and said with a smile: "Miss Zhou has grown a lot taller after not seeing her for a while."

Manbao's eyes suddenly lit up, his back straightened a little, and he asked with a smile: "Really?"

Mrs. Pi Guogong smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, just ask Mrs. Zhao Guogong."

Last time Mrs. Zhao Guogong felt chest tightness and uncomfortable, she also invited Manbao to see a doctor, so the two of them were somewhat familiar with each other.

Mrs. Zhao Guogong smiled and nodded, indicating that it was true.

Manbao became happy and became less restrained. He asked these noble ladies in a soft voice if they had any questions about the enrollment in the Imperial Medical Office.

Naturally, the people who could find the queen were not ordinary people. Mrs. Zhao Guogong was the queen's direct sister-in-law, and Mrs. Pi Guogong was the mother of the crown princess. In addition, there was Mrs. Li, the Minister of Personnel, who represented the entire Li family, and Mrs. Su Guogong.

Madam, Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lu who stayed in the capital.

They were either powerful or aristocratic people. Man Bao had met most of them. Even if he had never seen a doctor, he had seen them at Han Wuniang's son's 100-day banquet. He was not familiar with them, but Man Bao had a photographic memory, so he naturally remembered them.

The queen gave Zhou Man a seat, seemingly to facilitate their communication, and the seat was specially placed opposite them.

Man Bao glanced at the position, then quietly glanced at the queen, and after receiving a slight nod of encouragement from her, he stepped forward and sat down.

Several ladies opened their mouths to ask questions, but the queen sitting there suddenly picked up a tea cup and smiled at Man Bao: "Madams, you have many questions to ask. You don't have to go to the Crown Princess and Prince Gong's place this afternoon."

, it’s better to answer the ladies’ questions first.”

Manbao bowed slightly and responded.

The ladies who were about to complain that Xiao Yuanzheng's price was too high suddenly changed their minds. After swallowing their saliva, they asked instead: "Mrs. Zhou, what we just told Xiao Yuanzheng is that the people sent to the Imperial Medical Office are different.

The things they need to learn are also different from those of ordinary doctors. There is really no need to attend classes with other people, so why not form a separate class and have Miss Zhou teach them in person."

Man Bao smiled and declined: "All medical skills must be learned from the most basic level. All medical skills are common. The medical skills of other doctors in the Imperial Hospital are no less than mine. It is impossible for me to lead the whole process. I am just responsible.

Just one or two classes.”

Man Bao looked at the Queen and said, "Although we, the imperial doctors, teach in the Imperial Medical Office, the work in the Imperial Hospital cannot be neglected."

The ladies looked at each other, and Mrs. Zhao Guogong also picked up the tea cup and started drinking tea. Mrs. Pi Guogong could only ask: "What medical skills does the Imperial Medical Office plan to teach them?"

What they are most concerned about is whether the medical skills they want can be taught to them.

Man Bao has been in the capital for a year and a half, and has been in and out of the back house frequently. He knows what they are most related to, so he counts them carefully with his fingers, "Even if I teach them alone, "Pulse Jue",

The four most basic medical books, "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Ming Tang" and "Su Wen", also need to be learned. If they are literate, they can complete it in one and a half to two years, and the Imperial Medical Office can teach them in the third year.

A common disease among children and women."

She paused and then said: "I know that you ladies want to have a private doctor, so that it will be more convenient for your family in the future, but the diseases of the family are very complicated, and the things they need to learn must be more complicated than other subjects. If you want to

If they are more proficient, they will be taught according to the physical therapy department, which will take about eight years."

The ladies were reluctant when they heard that it was too long. In their opinion, three years was already long enough.

Man Bao saw their thoughts and said: "The three-year course is just for learning the basics. It may not be as knowledgeable as the medical ladies in the palace."

Man Bao looked at their faces and lowered his voice and said: "They have to learn all kinds of problems such as rashes on women, pregnancy preparation, miscarriage and delivery, and postpartum metrorrhagia. Even some common diseases in children,

As well as wind-cold, wind-heat, stroke, etc., they not only need to learn diagnosis and medication, but also targeted acupuncture and massage. It doesn’t take more than five years to learn everything.”

Mrs. Li immediately said: "Then five years."

The other ladies pondered for a moment and then said, "Five years is fine, but eight years is really too long."

Manbao breathed a sigh of relief.

Several ladies expressed their wishes tactfully. They felt that it would be okay to have less education on children and other diseases in general, mainly gynecological diseases.

Especially acupuncture, they have all experienced the benefits of Zhouman acupuncture.

If other people in the family are sick, whether they are men of the family or children, they can ask a doctor or imperial physician to come to their home for treatment. It is also possible for the family to spend money to have a doctor at home.

Even now, among those with many families, who doesn’t have a doctor in their family?

It’s just that female doctors are hard to find. Women, especially daughters at home, feel uncomfortable, especially if something is on their body or they feel pain somewhere. Because they are shy about talking about it, they often ask their grandma to get some medicine.

It is not symptomatic and may occur repeatedly;

Or maybe it’s because the medicine is not very effective and is always somewhat unsatisfactory anyway.

But it is different when there is a female doctor in the family. They are both women, and they can talk a lot. It is also convenient for consultation and acupuncture. There is no need to be secretive like seeing a male doctor.

Not to mention, in addition to the girls in the family, there are also daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-laws. Who doesn’t have some problems after getting married and giving birth to children?

Everyone looks good and happy on weekdays, but privately they feel uncomfortable, and probably only they and the girls around them know.

Mostly by surviving.

This is true even for women from powerful families, let alone women from ordinary people’s families. Didn’t her mother always hide all the problems she had when she was young?

Later, I went to the doctor after I was too sick to move. I took a medicine for nearly ten years, and only when I was critically ill would I go to Dalicun to ask Dr. Lu for another look.

Man Bao withdrew his mind and quickly calculated in his mind the courses they needed to teach. After a while, he nodded and said, "I will go back and discuss with Xiao Yuanzheng. It should be okay."

Anyway, since they have money, the courses can be more flexible.

The ladies were satisfied and complained softly that it was not easy to ask outside doctors many questions, not only because they were embarrassed, but also because if outside doctors were not strict with their words, it would be very bad for the reputation of the girls in the family.

.

Manbao expressed his understanding.
