Man Bao picked up a bag, a basket woven with vegetable-colored rope, and put many medicine packages in it. She smelled it and saw writing on it, so she flipped through it and found that there were medicine packages for relieving heat and insect repellent.

, to stop diarrhea and treat epidemics, they are all commonly seen medicine packs.

It's not very expensive, but it's thoughtful.

Man Bao rolled his eyes and said, "Are they only given to those who are in office? I think the old doctors who have retired will also give one to them. Anyway, the things are not expensive. Let's express our feelings."

Things are indeed not expensive, not many imperial doctors have become official in the past few years, and even fewer are still in the capital.

Therefore, Dr. Lu could directly respond, but he did not respond because he was curious, "You have never paid attention to these general affairs, why are you interested today?"

Man Bao said: "It's just a suggestion. I mentioned it when I suddenly thought of it. If you don't like it, forget it."

Manbao put down the medicine bag in his hand, turned around and said, "I can just let Sanniang take my share back. I have to leave beforehand."

Doctor Lu and others watched her leave. They looked at each other and understood.

They did not ask the emperor about summoning the imperial doctor Lao Tan, because they knew that Zhou Man had not mentioned it on his own initiative, so it was a secret, and they would not get any information if they asked.

But looking at Zhou Man's expression and behavior now, they knew that the emperor should be fine.

Then everyone relaxed and went about their business.

After thinking for a while, Dr. Lu said: "Prepare a few more copies, and give one to Dr. Tan, Dr. Ji, and others who have become officials."

Those at the bottom should step down.

After Manbao left the palace, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he went to the Western Market to look at spices.

Unfortunately, there are not many spices in the world that have a sleeping effect. Generally speaking, this kind of fragrance is mostly prepared by each house.

Fragrant recipes are not cheap, and most people don’t have them.

However, because I was prepared, Manbao was not particularly disappointed. I checked the time and went home.

The next day she took Daji and the others out of the city to go to the palace. Mrs. Liu sent someone out early in the morning to buy all the food they had ordered yesterday.

Man Bao left with a bunch of things.

When they arrived at the foot of the hillside of the palace, Manbao saw an ox cart parked on the roadside from a distance. When he got there, Manbao jumped out and rushed up: "Brother, sister-in-law!"

Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian turned around and were overjoyed to see her, so they immediately went to greet her, "I thought I wouldn't be able to see you anymore. There are so many soldiers here, and we don't dare to get too close."

Man Bao took Xiao Qian's hand and smiled and said: "I just came from the capital, sister-in-law, are you enjoying it in Pucun?"

"Fortunately," Xiao Qian said with a smile: "In the countryside, where there are water and trees, it won't get too hot."

Xiao Qian looked at Man Bao carefully, stretched out his hand to touch the hair on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Is it hot for you, running back and forth like this?"

Man Bao shook his head with a smile and asked Da Ji to take the sign and pass it around. Then he took Xiao Qian and Zhou Dalang to the shadow under the tree and asked with a smile: "Do you need to water the ground?"

Zhou Dalang said: "It needs some water, but it's not particularly dry yet. I only watered a few areas that are relatively short of water. For the rest, the village chief said it might rain for a while."

Man Bao said: "I'll go back and ask Qin Tianjian, sister-in-law, have you made bean curds?"

"It's done. I made it in the morning. I brought you a bucket and boiled sugar water for you." Xiao Qian pointed to a big wooden bucket and a small wooden bucket on the oxcart and said, "You can put them in the well.

Take it one step at a time, it tastes better this way."

Man Bao responded.

He took out a few packets of medicine from the carriage and said, "This is herbal tea for relieving summer heat. You can boil it and drink it as tea later..."

Zhou Dalang accepted it and asked, "Do you want to send you some bean curd tomorrow?"

Man Bao waved his hand and said, "No need. When I have something to eat, I will ask someone to deliver the letter to you. Then my sister-in-law will make it and deliver it to me."

Xiao Qian smiled and responded, "Okay."

Manbao asked Daji and the others to carry things up. Because they bought a lot of things, she also carried two hands, and there was a bag containing books hanging on her shoulders.

The inspecting guard looked at her silently.

Man Bao was familiar with them. He had guarded the palace gates in the capital before. Even if he couldn't call them by name, he would often see them face to face.

So Man Bao greeted them, "That's my eldest brother and sister-in-law. If they come looking for me in the future, please let me know."

Manbao didn't say it for nothing. She mixed up a roast chicken and gave it to them, "It's almost time for lunch. I'll give you another dish."

Several guards glanced down at the fat chicken wrapped well in lotus leaves. Thinking of the recent food, they swallowed their saliva, then glanced at Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian standing not far away, and nodded silently.

Manbao became happy. After passing the inspection, he carried his things in and told them, "I'll have someone bring you some herbal tea later. Don't get heatstroke if you stand under the door on such a hot day."

Man Bao turned around and waved vigorously to Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian before carrying his things and going up the mountain.

After walking a little way up, I met Bai Shan and the others.

He immediately dragged Wei Yu and Bai Erlang down, reached out to take the things from Man Bao's hand, and asked, "How many things did you buy?"

"I bought everything on the list."

Wei Yu and Bai Erlang also stepped forward quickly.

Man Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked curiously: "Where are you going?"

"Let's pick you up, where else can we go?" Bai Erlang said: "He made an agreement with us last night and he will come down to pick you up after finishing his work at noon."

Bai Erlang complained, "Obviously horses and carriages can go up the mountain, but Mr. Pian Yin is very particular about it. Except for those who deliver official documents and urgent official duties, no one else is allowed to use the official road to go up the mountain..."

"This is for the safety of the palace. Please stop complaining," Bai Shan said, "Maybe this will reach Lord Yin's ears soon."

Bai Erlang immediately covered his mouth.

Man Bao didn't let them take the books on her back, climbed up the mountain with them, and asked, "Have you had lunch?"

Bai Shan: "No, it's only noon. It's not too late to eat at noon."

Wei Yu smiled and said: "Princess has asked someone to cook. There will be a banquet in our courtyard later. How about Master Zhou going to have dinner with us later?"

Man Bao asked: "Are there many people invited?"

Wei Yu then smiled and said, "It's just us."

Bai Shan added: "There is only Yin or."

Manbao said: "Then why not go to the cold spring to eat, just so you can cool down the bean curd."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had no objections and thought they were quite amused, but Wei Yu felt it was a bit extravagant. What if his father found out...

Bai Shan put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, we are not extravagant. I know there is a cold spring, and there is a long pavilion there. Although there is only a set of stone tables and chairs in the pavilion, the space is large, and you can put a mat on it and leave room for others."
