My house's electrical wiring dates back to the Tang Dynasty.

After Lianhua's explanation, Li Mingbo learned that the main types of maids and servants nowadays are Silla maids and Bodhisattva maids.

Pusa Man was a white woman from Central and West Asia. She had a graceful figure, was a talented singer and dancer, and was as beautiful as a flower, but she had body odor.

There are no male slaves, Kunlun slaves, mainly because Kunlun slaves are selling well now.

However, Li Mingbo didn't like that; he preferred his own Han Chinese lad.

Nobody has any reason to be surrounded by black people.

Silla maids, known for their gentle nature and beautiful appearance, were highly favored by nobles. They were prized possessions and valuable personal resources.

I looked through them once, but none of them were suitable.

With an aesthetic difference of 1,300 years, Li Mingbo was different from the Tang people of today. Li Mingbo preferred the style of the water towns of Jiangnan.

Even maids need to be good-looking to provide emotional support.

"My lord, if you want something better, there are young women from disgraced officials who came from the Yeting Palace at the East Market. They are skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and are knowledgeable and reasonable," Lianhua suggested when she saw that Li Mingbo didn't have any suitable options.

"Okay, the official one is better," Li Mingbo said.

Next, we asked the shopkeeper for the old steward and three strong young Han Chinese men.

The average price is about 7 strings of cash per person.

To Li Mingbo's surprise, the housekeeper was the cheapest, costing only 5 guan.

Upon hearing what Lotus said, I realized that the housekeeper was old and unable to do any work, and wouldn't live for more than a few years. Whoever bought him would lose money.

When Li Mingbo saw the sixth-rank Dongshi Ling (Eastern Market Supervisor) approaching, for some reason, he noticed that they were all terrified of him.

Upon hearing Li Mingbo's purpose, he immediately summoned his best maidservant.

In the end, Li Mingbo selected four maids, all of whom were in their prime and whose looks and temperament were in no way inferior to Lianhua's.

7 strings of cash per person.

Damn it, a Turkic draft horse costs 40 strings of cash. A human life is not as valuable as a horse.

The steward drove the carriage, with Li Mingbo and Lianhua sitting inside. Three servants followed around the carriage, and four maids followed behind.

Exiting from the northwest gate of the East Market, and heading west along Jinguang Chunming Street, you will arrive at Taipingfang.

Taipingfang has only one main east-west street.

The carriage entered through the East Gate, and after asking around, arrived at the Qin residence.

Eight halberds were placed on each side of the vermilion gate, mounted on halberd racks. The wooden shafts were topped with copper and decorated with colorful patterns, gleaming brightly in the sunlight, proclaiming the extraordinary status of the owner.

The gate was painted vermilion, with nine rows of bronze door studs and bronze door knocker rings. The four characters "Yiguo Gongfu" were written on the lintel.

A pair of stone lions stand on either side of the main gate.

There are mounting and dismounting stones on both sides.

"Steward, go knock on the door and tell them that Li Mingbo has come to visit. Tell them to inform the Duke of Yi," Li Mingbo said.

"Yes, Master." Upon hearing his master's words and glancing at the imposing Duke Yi's mansion, the steward strode up the steps.

The door opened, revealing an elderly butler who looked to be in his fifties.

"Who are you looking for?" The old butler asked with displeasure when he saw a mid-range luxury car parked in front of the door.

"Tell Duke Yi that Li Mingbo is visiting," the steward said, head held high and chest puffed out.

"Are there any posts?"

"no."

The butler thought for a moment and said, "Wait."

The butler returned to the window on the left side of the horse and repeated what the other person had said to Li Mingbo.

Li Mingbo lifted the curtain and came out, then helped Lianhua down.

Li Mingbo looked around at his idol's residence.

It looks imposing, but it also seems rather deserted.

Qin Shubao had been recuperating at home ever since Li Shimin ascended the throne.

There are many modern interpretations, some saying that Qin Shubao did not participate in the Xuanwu Gate Incident and was neglected by Li Shimin.

Some say that Qin Shubao was seriously ill and had to stay home to recuperate.

The door creaked open.

"Oh, Li Mingbo, please come in quickly." Qin Shubao came out.

A woman and an eight-year-old boy followed behind.

"Junior Li Mingbo greets Duke Yi. I apologize for the intrusion and disturbance." Upon seeing his idol, Li Mingbo stepped forward, bowed with his hands clasped, and said.

"Haha, Master Li, why are you being so polite? I still prefer you as you were that night." Qin Shubao saw Li Mingbo bowing angrily, thinking of Li Mingbo who had confronted His Majesty that night.

That night, Li Mingbo called himself General Qin.

When the woman beside Qin Shubao saw the jade pendant Li Mingbo was wearing on his chest, she was even more startled.

"This is my wife, Zhang, and this is my son, Qin Huaidao."

"This junior greets the Duchess," Li Mingbo said, bowing. He then introduced Lianhua to Qin Shubao, saying, "Duke Yi, this is my beloved, Lianhua."

Lotus is now his woman, but not his wife. She wouldn't understand if he called her his girlfriend, but she might understand if he called her his lover.

"Lotus greets Duke Yi and Duchess Yi," Lotus said, bowing respectfully.

The Duchess knew Lianhua's identity and looked at Qin Shubao.

Qin Shubao frowned slightly, indicating that the other party didn't need to inquire.

Duke Yi returned the greeting and then invited everyone into his residence.

Upon entering the mansion, Lianhua and Lady Sun, the Duchess, went to the backyard.

In ancient times, the backyard was the place for women, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

Qin Shubao invited Li Mingbo into the main hall, then said to the steward, "Tell the people that the mansion is closed to guests today. No one except His Majesty and the Empress is allowed to enter."

"Yes," Guan Yong replied.

"Huai Dao, you go out too. No one is allowed to enter without my permission, and no one is allowed to approach within two hundred meters. Tell the guards to be on high alert, or they will be executed!" Qin Shubao instructed Huai Dao.

The steward was even more startled when he heard his master say this.

My master has been recuperating at home since the first year of the Zhenguan era, and it has been a long time since he has made such a grand mobilization.

Looking at Li Mingbo again, when he saw the jade pendant on Li Mingbo's chest, he thought of the person in the palace and was even more shocked.

"Yes!" the butler replied.

"Duke Yi, there's really no need for such a grand fuss," Li Mingbo said somewhat embarrassedly, seeing Qin Shubao's elaborate preparations.

"Li Lang, your safety concerns the Empress's life. If anything happens to you in my residence, even the extermination of ten generations of my Qin family wouldn't be enough. This isn't just a matter for my ten generations of Qin family; it concerns the future of the Tang Dynasty." Qin Shubao gestured for Li Mingbo to sit down. "Is this all you have?"

That night, he heard Li Mingbo say that the Empress only had four years to live.

Whether it can be cured or not depends on the medical skills that Li Mingbo brings from now on.

What if something happens in your own home?

"Yes, I just bought these myself in the East Market. Your Majesty, really, you said I was important, why didn't you send a guard to protect me?" Li Mingbo complained, but his hands didn't stop working.

There was an orange and white box in the bag.

This is an ABO blood type test strip card that Li Mingbo brought from the modern era and bought online.

"Duke Yi, please sit down. I've come to give you a blood transfusion today." Li Mingbo opened the box and poured out a bunch of things.

One disposable alcohol swab for disinfection.

Disposable spring needles and disposable column needles are both used to prick the finger; choose one.

A long, transparent dropper used to draw blood.

A short, transparent dropper is used to draw up the sample washing solution.

One tube of sample washing solution.

Li Mingbo consulted Zhou Shuhan, who recommended him.

Li Mingbo also tested it, and it was indeed accurate.

"Young Master Li, is it really possible for me to be cured with a blood transfusion?" Qin Shubao asked, somewhat incredulous.

Even though he knew that Li Mingbo was from 1,300 years in the future, he still found it hard to believe that a person could be cured through a blood transfusion.

"Duke Yi, regarding your illness, I have consulted the best doctors upon my return. Your condition is mainly due to the numerous battlefield injuries you sustained in your early years, resulting in severe blood loss. When you were young, your blood-producing function could barely compensate for the losses, but in middle age, your blood-producing function is not as good as before, and in addition, over the years..."

The lack of professional treatment for blood loss, coupled with the poor medical conditions in the Tang Dynasty, has led to this situation. "Don't worry, Duke Yi, you're only 40 years old, the prime of your life. As long as you cooperate with my treatment, I guarantee you can regain your former glory and return to the battlefield to fight."
