Chapter 625: Chapter 614: Prescription

When Manbao learned her older sister was getting married, the whole person was stunned, and then she became worried, "What kind of gift should I prepare for my sister?"

Bai Shanbao said, "Money."

He said, "After giving the betrothal money, she’ll naturally buy whatever she lacks, which is the best gift."

Manbao pondered and felt that although his reasoning made a lot of sense, the gift still seemed insincere, so she said, "No, I need to think this through seriously. A gift should either be something the recipient lacks or something they like."

Manbao asked Zhou Lijun, "What do you think my sister lacks or likes?"

"The big sister lacks a lot of things," Zhou Lijun counted on her fingers: "She lacks money, clothes, jewelry, and, um, children."

She also said, "The big sister likes money, clothes, jewelry, and children too."

In a low voice, Zhou Lijun said, "My mom says that the big sister’s heartache is that she never had children before."

"Isn’t that Liu Dalang’s fault then?"

"Yes, but the big sister feels really bad about it, always worrying."

Manbao expressed that she was completely unaware of this.

Zhou Lijun glanced at her; of course, she wouldn’t know. As the youngest, how would the big sister ever talk about such matters with her?

It was only because she occasionally overheard her mother lamenting to her father that she took it to heart.

Zhou Lijun stealthily glanced at Fourth Uncle and whispered, "Do you still remember, little sister? Before, Fourth Uncle even thought about having his own child raised by the big sister, but instead, the big sister wanted to raise you."

Manbao’s eyes widened as she sifted through her memory; it seemed there was such an incident.

She couldn’t help touching her chin, "So it seems children are important."

Zhou Lijun nodded and was about to continue when she saw her little cousin’s concerned look. She couldn’t help getting nervous and asked, "Little sister, you’re not thinking of giving the big sister a child, are you?"

Manbao looked at her approvingly, "You’re really smart; I barely started thinking about it and you’ve already guessed."

Zhou Lijun: "... But children have to be born by oneself, how can you give that as a gift?"

"I don’t know if Brother Guan has any problems; what if he also can’t have children..." Manbao frowned and said, "If there’s no issue with him, and none with the big sister, having a child shouldn’t be difficult."

She murmured softly, "I’ll ask tonight..."

Zhou Lijun asked, "Ask who?"

"Nobody," Manbao came to her senses, waving her hand, "Never mind, if I can’t give a child, I’ll give money. I have money."

Zhou Lijun thought for a bit and then said, "Then I’ll also give the big sister something."

According to custom, she didn’t have to prepare a separate gift. As an unmarried girl, her gifts were counted as part of her second household’s contribution.

But since her little cousin was giving a gift, and she had nothing else to do, she might as well prepare a gift too.

Zhou Lijun said, "I’ll give the big sister a quilt. The auntie next door is very skilled at making quilt covers. She’s been making some for her relatives recently and I’ve been helping, learning a lot. I’ll go help again tomorrow, and once I’ve learned, I can make one for the big sister..."

As for medical matters, of course, Manbao could only ask Teacher Mo.

Upon hearing her request, Teacher Mo said, "What’s so difficult about that? Don’t you have the shopping mall? Just apply for a Fertility Pod at the hospital there."

Manbao became familiar with the concept of Fertility Pods through Keke’s explanations. She pictured herself holding a round object like an egg, telling her sister that there was a child inside; after ten months, the egg would grow bigger and bigger, then crack open, and the child that emerged would be her sister’s...

Just the thought of that scene made Manbao shudder, so she said, "Let’s forget it. Don’t the medical books mention fertility drugs? Teacher Mo, don’t you have any prescriptions?"

"Prescriptions?" Teacher Mo considered it and chuckled, "The medicines here come ready-made and are very different from yours—I doubt you’d be able to give them away even if you could buy them. However, we don’t have the ingredients for ancient prescriptions here. I’ll copy some down for you, and you can see if you have them on your side."

"Oh, and be sure to record their pulse diagnoses, before and after taking the medicine, and how long it takes to conceive..." Teacher Mo promptly recorded an emergency class on pregnancy preparation for her, including preparations for the fertile period and how to calculate the conception window...

If it weren’t for the fact that the student on the other side was very young, he would have had some unorthodox knowledge to teach her too. However, considering her age, Teacher Mo decided against it.

Two days later, Teacher Mo sent Manbao three prescriptions through mail, saying, "These are the most reliable prescriptions I could find for now. The first one is even rumored to be an ancient court secret formula. By the way, do you have a royal court there?"

Manbao received the email and replied, "You mean the imperial family?"

"Right, right. Do you have one?"

"Yes." Manbao said, "We have a Prince in our city, do you know what a Prince is? He’s a royal, the emperor’s brother."

Teacher Mo got excited and said, "Get close to him and then try to gather more royal secret formulas. I’m really interested in ancient Chinese medicine now."

Manbao said, "My system collects biological data, not prescriptions."

"But that shouldn’t stop your brain from learning the prescriptions, right? Just memorize them and send them to me. We’re teacher and student, and for your sake, I’ve skipped several projects just to focus on teaching you. Look at the courses I’ve expanded in the teaching room just for you—you get to learn all those for free after buying one book. Your teacher cherishes you so much..."

"Alright, alright," Manbao, overwhelmed by him, said, "Getting close to him is impossible. That Prince is a bad person, and I’m a good person. Usually, good people can’t coexist with bad people, and my strength before him is like that of a little ant. So, for the sake of my life, it’s better to stay away from him."

"Besides, he doesn’t know medical skills. If I want to learn the secret court prescriptions, shouldn’t I get close to his doctor instead?"

Teacher Mo was astonished, "Your royal court is that dangerous? You don’t do bad things, so what can he do to you?"

Manbao didn’t expect her teacher to be so naïve, "I may not do bad things, but he’s a bad person and will always do bad things. By then, I’ll suffer, won’t I?"

"Well, then you should stay away from such dangerous people." Teacher Mo asked, "Have you looked at the prescriptions? Do you have the medicines there?"

Manbao had already checked and answered, "Most of the herbs I’ve seen in books; even if I haven’t, it’s no problem, I can just ask at the pharmacy."

"If there’s something you don’t understand, just ask me. Some herbs are known by different names—I can help you look up their aliases to make sure of the ingredients."

Manbao agreed.

She memorized the prescriptions and later quietly wrote them down.

Manbao blew on the ink and drew a circle on the royal secret formula, deciding to ask about the herbs listed there with special care the next day.
