Bai Erlang, who had been waiting in the cafeteria for a long time without seeing anyone, ran to the observation building to take a look. He didn't see anyone, but he saw the book Bai Shan had left.
There are only two situations in this world that can make Bai Shan drop his book, one is an accident that he cannot control, and the other is full treasure.
He didn't think there would be any accidents that he couldn't control in the palace and they didn't hear anything, so he turned around and ran to Manbao's courtyard to look for someone.
As soon as they entered the yard, they saw two people sitting in front of the window talking. They didn't know what they said. They both smiled and narrowed their eyes.
Before he ran up, he shouted to the two of them through the window, "What are you doing? Why don't you go have dinner quickly? The food is already cold."
Bai Shan stood up and said, "Let's go, let's eat first. When we get back, I will check the classics in the Chongwen Museum. If possible, I will go to Honglu Temple. They know things about the Western Regions better. If possible,
Just borrow some documents from there."
Then Honglu Temple was in charge of the diplomatic relations ceremony. The documents in it, especially some of the intelligence work on foreign countries, were confidential, and Bai Shan was afraid that it would be difficult to borrow them.
Bai Erlang on the side was confused, "What are you going to investigate about the Western Region?"
He thought of something and widened his eyes, "Are you going to the Western Regions?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "Don't make any noise. This is our plan. It will take another one or two years to complete the trip. Don't talk about it outside."
Bai Erlang: "Then you won't be an examiner anymore?"
Bai Shandao: "The examiner's business is not urgent, but I want to try the Jinshi examination before I leave."
Bai Erlang couldn't help but mutter: "After passing the Jinshi examination and not going to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel to take the examination, it is simply a waste of time."
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "You can go get one."
Bai Erlang was just about to say that he didn't want to go and waste all his efforts, but Man Bao had already nodded and said: "You can give it a try. Isn't there a Jinshi exam next year? My husband and I told you all to come down and give it a try."
Bai Erlang:......
Bai Shan was also a little stunned, "Take the exam next year?"
Man Bao said: "There are still one year and two months left. If you don't take the exam next year, do you have to wait until the year after that? Then it's two years and two months, and you will definitely take the Jinshi major next year. Is there anything later?
Not sure yet."
The Jinshi Examination is not as fixed as Ming Jing and other subjects. It is held every year. Basically, only the Ministry of Civil Affairs thinks that the officials in the government are old, or due to some well-known reasons, there are many middle and upper-level officials missing.
Jinshi subjects will be opened only when it is necessary to recruit corresponding talents within 10 years or even more than ten years.
Otherwise, it is usually held once every two years.
Sometimes the court would postpone or cancel it outright, citing insufficient funds and other excuses.
Fortunately, it has developed so far that the Jinshi Department is not as willful as it used to be. However, there is no telling when another accident will happen, so Manbao believes that this kind of matter should be done sooner rather than later. Anyway, everyone is just to accumulate experience and be able to pass the best examination.
Well, it’s okay if you fail the exam.
Now not only Bai Erlang, but also Bai Shan felt a little numb, regretting that he had spoken too much.
When the three of them returned to the cafeteria, their expressions had adjusted, but except for Man Bao, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang both had a heavy aura floating around them.
Yin You looked curious, "What happened?"
He thought Zhou Man was the one who was listless, but now he saw that she was in good spirits, but Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, why were their branches drooping like trees that were short of water?
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang shook their heads together, indicating that nothing was wrong.
Man Bao has already opened his food box, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, you go and read a book. I have to go on duty."
Yin You nodded. Feng Zongping, who was sitting at the next table, felt itchy and turned to ask her, "Are you on duty now? Aren't you only on duty during holidays?"
Man Bao responded vaguely: "I have grown up, and I should be on duty."
Not only Feng Zongping didn't believe this, but even Zhao Liulang didn't believe it. The two of them wanted to find out something else. Bai Shan had already raised his head and looked at them and said, "Do you have any idea about the homework that Kong Jijiu taught? It's better to go to eat later.
Checking out books in the library?"
Feng Zongping and Zhao Liulang's expressions were stunned.
Yin You smiled slightly and continued: "I rummaged around in the afternoon and found annotations in a classic, but unfortunately it was not detailed enough. I want to search again. If I can find some adults from the newspaper
It would be great if we read some relevant articles.”
Feng Zongping: "You still want to report to Di? That will take a lot of time."
Bai Shandao: "I don't want the wine until later in the year."
But the question was so difficult, how could he understand it? Zhao Liulang silently poked at the food in front of him, no longer interested in Zhou Man's affairs.
The same goes for Feng Zongping. A big rock seemed to have been knocked down on their heads, or on the heads of everyone who listened with their ears pricked up, crushing them so hard that they couldn't breathe.
While eating, Manbao thought to himself that before the queen gets better, she should eat in the Imperial Hospital or the harem...
After dinner, the two parties parted ways, and Man Bao expressed that he rarely returned to Chongwen Hall in recent times, and even had to eat in the harem and Taiyuan Hospital.
Bai Shan expressed his understanding and asked: "Can we help you eat your meal?"
Man Bao: "...Don't tell the canteen to stop?"
Bai Shan said: "No, the dining room in Chongwen Pavilion is separate from the imperial dining room in Taiji Hall. Your share will not be transferred there. It would be a waste to keep it anyway. Let's help you eat."
Bai Erlang, who was still downcast, immediately cheered up and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, your food is better than ours, and it can just replenish our bodies."
Man Bao had no objection and waved his hand in agreement.
She went back to Taiyuan Hospital first. It happened that Xiao Yuanzheng and the others were also having dinner. When they saw her coming back, they pointed at her portion.
Manbao refused and planned to save it for midnight snack, and just put it on the stove to heat up.
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "The queen has just been ill today. Her temper has been rising, causing her lungs to be hot and dry. Now she has started to cough. I think the first half of the night will be very difficult. Will you and Dr. Liu be on duty in the first half of the night or the second half of the night?"
?”
Man Bao glanced at the dark blue eyes under Xiao Yuanzheng's eyes and asked, "What about the Queen Mother's side?"
"Mr. Lu and the others are here," Xiao Yuanzheng said calmly: "I have arranged for them to go there. Dr. Zheng is also looking at Prince Gong. I will go with Dr. Tan."
The Queen Mother is at the end of her rope and cannot be saved. Now they are just doing their best to obey fate, and the royal family has long been prepared for her death;
Prince Gong's side was not seriously injured, so Xiao Yuanzheng only sent one imperial doctor there. The four of them were directly responsible for the queen, and the rest were on duty at the imperial hospital in rotation to avoid orders from other concubines in the palace or the princes and grandsons.
Occasionally, he also had to go out to treat the royal relatives and relatives.
At this moment, Xiao Yuanzheng felt that there were still too few people in their hospital. He thought of something, looked at Zhou Man and Doctor Zheng, and after a slight hesitation, he said: "Our classes at the Medical Department have been suspended to allow students to
Let’s study on our own. The palace is short of manpower right now. Aren’t there a few students in the department who can already sit in the classroom and prescribe prescriptions? Let them come into the palace to do some prescribing.”
