In the evening, the three families stayed together to watch the New Year's Eve. There were many Zhou family members, so in order not to disturb them, after dinner, they went into the side room of the front yard to talk around the stove.

Bai Shan curiously asked about beggars and the beggar gang.

Zhou Lang said: "Beggars are different from beggar gangs. How can I put this? Anyway, remember, no matter where you go in the future, don't mess with the local beggar gangs. For beggars, help them if you can."

Well, as for the beggar gang, there’s nothing wrong with staying far away.”

Bai Shan was curious and wanted to ask again. Three Zhou Lixue came over with their homework and asked for advice.

They will take the Ming Jing exam in February, which is more than a month away, so they are reviewing intensively during this time.

Bai Shan put the matter aside and explained the topic to them first, "Why don't you go find Mr. Zhuang?"

Zhou Lixue said: "Let's talk to my uncle first. For questions that my uncle can't answer, we'll go to Mr. Zhuang later."

Bai Shan perked up and said, "Humph, can a simple Ming Jing question stump him?"

Bai Erlang and Xiang Mingxue also sat over to join in the fun. They are also scholars.

Manbao was baking something on the stove and thinking about Mrs. Mei's follow-up treatment.

This New Year should be the busiest New Year they have ever had.

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the imperial court opened the seal, and Zhou Man and others went to the palace to work as errands. Doctors like Zheng Gu who had been recalled from the local medical office had to go to the Imperial Mansion to learn vaccination.

This time it was Zhou Man and Dr. Lu who led the team.

Before entering Huangzhuang, Manbao visited Mr. Mei and his daughter who had moved to Changqing Lane, and left medicine for them before entering Huangzhuang.

Because the total number of people vaccinated has exceeded 10,000, and after reaching their expected data, people who will be vaccinated later will no longer have to spend time testing whether they are immune to variola.

Therefore, now you only need to wait for the acne scab to mature and fall away for vaccination, and it only takes about five to seven days to visit Huangzhuang.

You can take a break every ten days.

Because Liu Sanniang was pregnant and she was familiar with vaccination, the hospital did not send her in this time. Instead, Zheng Gu and others were asked to help Zhou Man and Doctor Lu, and learn at the same time. At the same time, they also had to vaccinate.

That's right, all the doctors transferred back from the local medical office this time need to be vaccinated.

After all, if they want to vaccinate locally, they will inevitably have frequent contact with smallpox patients in the future. The best way is to vaccinate themselves against smallpox.

Fortunately, they are all still young and strong, so the risk of vaccination is not high.

Well, teaching about vaccination starts with yourself.

Man Bao is busy, and so is Bai Shan. This year's Ming Jing exam is scheduled for the third day of February, the day after the dragon raises its head. The Zhou family has to refer to Zhou Li and Zhou Ligu this year, and Bai Shuping has also signed up.

Not only does Mr. Zhuang have to guide them, but Bai Shan also lectures them on topics every day after going to office, so both husband and wife are busy.

Before dawn on the third day of February, Man Bao and Bai Shan got up and followed their family members to take the nervous Zhou Lixue and the other three to the gate of Gongyuan.

The three of them were a little nervous, and the weather was cold, so they couldn't help but stamp their feet, and asked Zhou Man nervously, "Sister-in-law, do you think we can pass the exam?"

No matter whether you can or not, you must say yes at this time anyway, so Manbao nodded firmly and said: "Yes!"

However, it was useless to rely solely on Man Bao to say he was successful. When the results were released a few days later, none of the three people passed the exam. However, Pei Shouyue passed the Ming Jing exam, and his ranking was not low, and he was highly praised by the examiners.

There are many things happening in February. The first big thing is the second dragon raising its head in February, the second thing is the Ming Jing examination, and the third thing is the wedding of Princess Changyu.

So far in the new year, Man Bao and Dr. Lu have only had two vaccinations. They were supposed to have a third vaccination in February, but Man Bao asked for leave to attend a wedding banquet.

Xiao Yuanzheng called back directly. The reason was that Zhou Man was not a relative or friend of the royal family and was not eligible to take leave. Spring was the busiest time of the Taiyuan Hospital and everyone was too busy. How dare you ask for leave to go to the wedding banquet?

Xiao Yuan was just about to throw her into the imperial palace to continue vaccination, but the emperor directly said to him at the court meeting, "Princess Changyu has been in the palace all the year round, and she has fewer friends. It's just right to let Zhou Man come into the palace to give her a visit."

Yu is going to marry you."

After saying this, he invited all the ministers and ministers, "When the time comes, all the ministers will come to drink the wedding wine between me and Wei Qing."

Wei Zhi's face twitched, as if it was the two of them who were getting married.

However, on the happy day, Wei Zhi did not bother the emperor about such small details.

The emperor asked, what else could Xiao Yuanzheng do, he could only give Zhou Man a leave.

So Zhou Man stayed in the palace on the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. It was the first time for Mingda to experience a friend staying in the palace for a wedding, so he stopped living in his own palace and came to keep the two of them company.

At night, the three of them would lie on the bed together and whisper.

Mingda asked Zhou Man: "When I get married, will you come to the palace to accompany me?"

Man Bao said: "No need, I'm afraid you don't know that Bai Er is going to pick you up from my home in the palace."

Changyu was curious, "Does Mingda still want to go to your house to worship?"

"Of course not, it's the same as you," Man Bao said: "First have a meal at my house, then go to the palace to pick up the princess at an auspicious time, and then send her back to the princess's mansion. The second meal will be entertaining guests at the princess's mansion."

After all, there are no banquets in the palace, and there are no barriers to marriage. The rules are very different from ordinary people marrying girls.

Mingda and Changyu were both inexperienced, so they looked confused.

Man Bao said to the two of them: "It doesn't matter, just follow the orders of the best man. I heard that this time the best man is a young official selected from the Ministry of Rites. He is very handsome."

Chang Yu hummed and said: "No matter how handsome you are, you are not as handsome as Mr. Yang. It's a pity that he is not in the capital. Otherwise, I would just wallow in asking my father to order Mr. Yang to be my best man."

Mingda said: "Originally, the best friend was the sixth uncle in the clan, but it turned out that he disliked people with beards and was not happy about it, so my father changed the responsibility to the Ministry of Rites."

Obviously, the Ministry of Rites also knew about the princess' problem and specially selected a good-looking official. Although the official position was very small, the etiquette system was already in the Ministry of Rites, so urgent training for a period of time would be enough.

Man Bao asked Ming Da curiously, "What about your best man?"

Mingda said: "I think it'll be just like my sister's."

Chang Yu: "Look, look, there is no one in the world who doesn't love Jun, otherwise why didn't you tell me, I think Uncle Six is ​​pretty good?"

Mingda tickled her in embarrassment, "You're the only one who doesn't forgive me."

Chang Yu laughed heartily, and when the laughter was over, he lay down on the bed and said, "Mingda, just wait. When you get married, I will go back to the palace to live, so I will send you off to get married like this."

Mingda said softly "Okay".

The three of them fell asleep like this... It was impossible. Aunt Shang from the Queen's Palace sent a box. Seeing Zhou Man here, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's really great that Dr. Zhou is here."

Okay, this is the book that the empress asked the slave to send, so please ask Dr. Zhou to teach the princess."

Man Bao was about to open the box and read, "What book?"

Aunt Shang held the box and said with a smile: "It's a good book. Let the princesses read it after the slaves leave."
Chapter completed!
