Mr. Zhuang asked someone to take Zhang Chen to the inn, and then took Mr. Jiang's carriage back to his home. He stood in front of the door with his three apprentices and waved goodbye to them before turning around and entering the house.
After climbing the mountain for a day, I was really happy, but also really tired.
When others were tired, they could wash up, eat, and then go to bed, but Man Bao could only wash up, eat, and silently take out the notes to write.
Writing an article is not difficult. Isn’t it just an apology?
Man Bao, who often wrote letters admitting mistakes to her husband, wrote quite quickly. She made a draft, checked that there were no typos, revised a few sentence patterns, and then copied the article into the notebook.
Because it was too late at night, I looked out the window and saw that all the lights in everyone's rooms were out. Man Bao didn't clean up, put down his pen, yawned and turned to go to bed.
The next day, she slept until three o'clock in the morning. Zhou Lijun couldn't stand it, knocked on the door and came in. He saw that the pen on her desk had not been washed, and the inkstone had not been cleaned, so he cleaned it up and muttered: "Sister-in-law, Aunt Six has been waiting to see you.
Well, why don't you get up yet?"
Man Bao said in a daze: "Why are you seeing me? Didn't you recognize your kiss yesterday?"
"Grandpa said that he would take the family to take a look at the village so that they can identify the place. From now on, when there is nothing much going on here in the capital, he will go to the village to work."
Man Bao turned over and said, "I don't want to go. I have to go to the palace to run errands tomorrow morning. I can't sleep in anymore. If I run around again today, I will be paralyzed from exhaustion."
Zhou Lijun said: "I don't count on you anymore. Grandpa and grandma have already left. Grandpa ran here three times this morning, but you still don't get up."
She couldn't help but mutter: "It's all about mountain climbing. What fun is there in climbing mountains? You go climbing every year."
"It's fun," Man Bao still felt strange, "You don't like climbing mountains. It's so fun and comfortable to climb high and see far away."
Zhou Lijun packed up his things, turned around, took a wooden basin and went out, "I'll get you some water. Sister, please get up quickly, or my uncle and the others will come over soon."
Manbao could only get up with difficulty.
Only a few of Lao Zhou's family members were left at home. The adults all went to Pucun, including Liu Lang and his new daughter-in-law Qiu.
Xiao Qian left food on the stove for Man Bao, but Man Bao took a look and found that it was cold, so he felt his stomach and went to Bai Shan's yard.
Bai Shan was putting breakfast on the tray. When he saw her coming, he smiled and said, "I guess you haven't had breakfast yet, and I wanted to send you some. Come over and eat."
Man Bao went over and sat down, looked around, and saw that there was nothing in the bowls in front of Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, so he asked, "Are you all full?"
They both nodded together.
Man Bao asked: "Where is sir?"
"Sir is walking in the garden," Bai Shan said, "My cousin is here too. I guess they will play chess by themselves later."
Bai Erlang added: "My elder brother and sister-in-law went out to play."
Yesterday, on the Double Ninth Festival, Bai Dalang and his wife Cheng came over to reunite with his father and brother, so he stayed here. Anyway, he kept his room, so it was very convenient for both parties to live wherever they wanted.
When the family got married, they saw that Miss Cheng and Bai Dalang were playing harmoniously, and that the Bai family and Lao Zhou's family were getting along easily. The three families could take care of each other in the capital, and they felt relieved. They had already chosen a day to go home on the twelfth day.
After thinking for a while, Mr. Bai decided to go back with his in-laws.
The family was busy with a lot of things, and it was impossible for him to live in the capital permanently, so he could only entrust his two sons to Mrs. Liu again. Of course, this time he also entrusted an additional daughter-in-law.
Knowing that Lao Zhoutou and the others would stay in the capital, he also asked Lao Zhou's family to take care of them.
Of course, he will also take care of the old Zhou family in Qili Village.
Lao Zhoutou planned to ask Mr. Bai to bring something to his son, daughter-in-law, and some relatives and friends in the village this time.
Well, they are all local specialties of the capital city.
If it weren't for the difficulty of bringing some food, he would also like to pack some snacks for Mr. Bai to bring.
Also because Master Bai and the Cheng family are about to leave, Bai Dalang and Mr. Cheng plan to stay in Zhou's house to accompany them these two days.
I don’t know when I’ll see you next time.
Anyway, they probably won’t go back to Mianzhou for the Chinese New Year.
Horses and carriages are still too inconvenient. I really hope that there will be the magic of flying with swords like those written in fantasy books in this world, so that you can travel thousands of miles in a snap.
Because they wanted to get up early to go to the palace tomorrow, they stayed at home today and didn't go anywhere. They read books and played chess by themselves. Man Bao also took a hoe to the garden to weed, and gave some advice to those who were also sleeping at home.
Zhou Liru did some medical theory, and then it got dark.
Thursday Lang, Friday Lang and Saturday Lang also came back from Pucun with their respective wives. "My father, mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law are staying there. Their wheat fields are almost planted. Dad wants to watch them fertilize and so on. Brother
I had to focus on building a house, so I didn’t come back.”
Although there was no service called by Lao Zhoutou, Manbao and the others still woke up at dawn the next day.
Because they were afraid of being late, the three of them got up immediately as soon as they woke up, washed themselves, had breakfast and went out.
Mr. Zhuang's office hours were relatively relaxed and he would not join them. He smiled at the three of them and waved his hand, indicating that he would see them in the palace later.
The three simply held the basket in one hand and the reins in the other and rode directly into the imperial city.
Daji followed with his guards.
The streets in the early morning were very quiet and there were very few people, but the three of them did not dare to gallop, almost pressing the speed limit. Who knew there was a censor squatting in a corner?
Last month, Duke Zhao was impeached and fined a month's salary by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I heard that one morning, Duke Zhao was late when he entered the palace to attend the court meeting, so he galloped past on a deserted street and was squatted.
The censor at the entrance of an alley saw it.
Then Zhao Guogong knew the law and violated the law and was impeached.
Man Bao still cherishes his salary and does not want to be punished again.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang didn't want to be forced to stand and have their palms slapped again.
The three of them ran across the street at a steady speed, allowing Gao You and others who had just arrived on the street to see them.
Gao You stretched out his hand to say hello, but the three of them had already run over with their guards, looking intently at the imperial city not far ahead, but did not see Gao You or the others.
The envoy following Gao You saw that they only stopped at the gate of the imperial city before riding in. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Prince, aren't they students of the Imperial College? How did they enter the imperial city?"
Are there classes in the Imperial College today?
Shouldn't the Imperial College be behind them?
Gao You narrowed his eyes and said: "I'm afraid they are not students of the Imperial College, and their status is higher."
Several people looked at each other, and Gao You said: "Let's go, go to Honglu Temple today to urge us again. It's not easy to live in Chang'an. If we don't settle down, we won't have enough money."
