Manbao and Imperial Doctor Zheng stepped out the door when State Duke Pi approached with a smile. After politely nodding to Imperial Doctor Zheng in greeting, he turned his attention to Manbao, "This must be Young Doctor Zhou, truly young and promising. May I ask who your teacher is?"
Manbao replied, "My teacher's surname is Zhuang."
State Duke Pi glanced at Imperial Doctor Zheng, and seeing no reaction from him, stroked his beard with a smile and said, "A skilled teacher produces talented students."
Imperial Doctor Zheng knew that Manbao had a teacher surnamed Zhuang, but this person was not the one who taught her medicine; rather, he had taught her reading and writing.
Manbao and Bai Shan nodded in agreement from the side, both believing that their teacher deserved the reputation of a skilled teacher and that they lived up to being talented students.
What State Duke Pi was more concerned about was when his youngest son would wake up.
