Mrs. Tang looked at Man Bao for a while, then suddenly nodded her forehead and said with a smile: "After all, when you grow up, you all know everything. Let me ask you, is it true that Tang Zhihe called him an actor?"
Man Bao immediately raised two fingers and swore: "This is what Bai Shan and the others saw when they passed by the Zhuangyuan Building. It is absolutely true. At that time, Senior Brother Tang and his friends had actors in their box, and they were still lying at the window with Bai Shan.
Shan and the others said hello and asked them to go up and drink together, but Bai Shan and the others were in a hurry to go home, so they had no time."
After returning home, Bai Erlang kept talking about it for a long time, because he was really interested in it. At that time, he heard the singing above when he was downstairs, and he thought it was very nice.
Bai Shan was also very interested, and made an appointment with Man Bao to go to Zhuangyuan Tower next time, and they could pool money together to hire actors to perform, or they could go directly to Chunfeng Tower.
I heard that the performances in Chunfeng Tower are much cheaper.
Mrs. Tang gritted her teeth when she heard this. She put Man Bao down after reaching the fork in the road. She said, "It's a pity that you have been in the palace every day recently. Otherwise, I could have made an appointment with you to meet cousin Cui."
Mrs. Yang is already three months pregnant and has announced it to the public a while ago. She is currently raising her baby in the Yang Mansion and does not go out easily.
Manbao thought for a while and then said: "Let's wait for a while. When I am free, I will make an appointment with my sister-in-law to see her together."
Mrs. Tang responded "Okay" with a smile. When her carriage left, she put down the carriage and the smile on her face disappeared.
The girl next to her sat with her head lowered, not daring to express her anger.
Mrs. Tang touched her nails and asked, "I suddenly remembered that Doctor Zhou has been in the palace every day for more than a month?"
"Yes, last time Madam Shangsi asked her slave to deliver red eggs to Dr. Zhou, Dr. Zhou went to the palace. I heard that he went to the palace every day and never stopped." She said: "So, to help the world.
The consultations at the hall have been postponed to the afternoon, and now it is difficult for any family to invite her to come for home consultations. It is said that she has to teach several apprentices in Jishi Hall, and she has no time to visit for a while, unless it is an emergency or it is not for her.
It's a serious disease, otherwise she wouldn't go to the clinic."
What is the disease that has to do with her?
Naturally, it is a disease that is difficult for women to talk about, but if it is not particularly urgent, I am afraid that I will not be able to invite her now.
Mrs. Tang didn't know what she was thinking of, so she returned home in silence.
After Mrs. Tang left, Mr. Tang breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly greeted Feng Shangshu.
Feng Shangshu asked with a smile, "Why, are you being scolded by your wife again?"
Mr. Tang categorically denied, "How could a good wife scold the official? She came to bring me tea and some clothes to Mrs. Hou. Your Excellency also knows that Mrs. Hou and my wife are related."
In fact, she was an aunt several rooms away, but she was of the same clan after all. Mrs. Tang also felt that she had been wronged very much. She thought that the Hou family had been raided and their life or death was uncertain, so she gave her something. It was also an attitude to let the guards here
Officers and soldiers will not insult them.
You know, there is no dignity for the family members of criminal officials. If people are locked up in the palace, who knows what will happen?
As soon as Mrs. Tang left, Mr. Tang waited for everything in the Marquis' Mansion to be checked out, and everything that needed to be moved was emptied before he entered with a package.
The people of the Hou family were all locked up in a courtyard. At this time, there was no distinction between master and servant. He handed the package prepared by Mrs. Tang to Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou took the package and Mr. Tang said: "People from Jingzhao Mansion are guarding the outside. The case is still under investigation. Madam, why don't you wait patiently for a while."
Only then did Mrs. Hou burst out crying, holding her two granddaughters in her arms and feeling very happy.
Even if you will be beheaded in the end, at least you don't have to be humiliated during this period, otherwise you might as well die immediately.
Mr. Tang sighed, then turned and left, so that the soldiers guarding outside could not insult the people in the courtyard.
Mr. Tang was very busy and didn't get home until almost dark.
He said something to his father and then returned to his yard. Mrs. Tang was already waiting for him.
He was a little trembling, but still entered.
As soon as he entered, Mrs. Tang grabbed her ears and pulled her into the inner room. Mrs. Tang screamed, her head fell down in response, and she quickly said: "Madam, madam, that's Zhou Man, what are you eating with her?"
vinegar?"
When the servants saw them making a fuss, they smiled and left, and thoughtfully closed the door for them.
Mrs. Tang dragged Mr. Tang into the room, twisted his arm several times before she was relieved, and asked, "Let me ask you, what did you say to her quietly?"
"It's nothing, just a few gossips. He is just a child. Your husband and I are not crazy..."
As soon as Mrs. Tang heard this, she knew that he was perfunctory with her, and asked with a sneer, "Are you asking her if the Crown Princess is pregnant?"
Mr. Tang immediately choked on his saliva and was so frightened that he coughed violently.
He quickly looked outside and saw that his servants were all retreating far away. Then he leaned into Mrs. Tang's ear and whispered, "How did you know? Did she say that?"
Mrs. Tang said calmly: "Guess!"
Mr. Tang immediately sat down on the footrest in front of the bed and whispered: "Don't spread this matter to anyone else."
Mrs. Tang frowned and said, "Can we guess it, but others can't guess it?"
Mr. Tang said: "I'm afraid I won't expect this to happen for a while, and we have to wait for a while."
He said: "After the prince's poisoning case came out, people outside always thought that she came to the palace every day to detoxify the prince."
Only he and Mr. Yin knew that the prince's poison had been cured long ago. The reason why he thought of it was because he found something wrong when he reviewed the case last night.
Over the past month or so, the prince seemed to have become much quieter, and even thought of using the Chongwen Hall as an excuse to recruit talents;
After careful calculation, Zhou Man seemed to have been in the palace for fifty-four consecutive days. The prince had acupuncture every other day, so what was she doing in the palace every day?
Mr. Tang whispered: "These are all our guesses. I didn't even tell dad, so don't tell anyone."
"I know, I'm not stupid." Mrs. Tang took her hand away from his and asked, "Let's talk about recruiting actors?"
Mr. Tang immediately lay down and shouted: "I'm so hungry, madam. I'm tired and hungry now, and I can't move."
At this time, Manbao was opening the medicine bag that Daji had brought back, pouring all the medicine inside into the big pot, then adding water and boiling it.
Wu Lang personally rolled a vat back to her and asked, "What do you want this vat for?"
Man Bao said: "Soak the stone."
After pouring the boiled potion into the vat, she moved all the stones that Teacher Mo gave her into the vat and soaked them. A large group of people followed and joined in the fun.
Even though they knew that the stone was poisonous, Bai Erlang and the others couldn't help but come to watch. Seeing bucket after bucket of potion being poured in to submerge the stone, he looked confused and said, "Is this good?"
Man Bao nodded, "Just seal it for another seven days."
