Man Bao opened the curtain and crawled out with a confused look on her face. She silently looked at each other with Bai Shan and others, and then she remembered that she hadn't taken a shower yet and had to go to class today.
Man Bao climbed off the Yin family's carriage and climbed onto the palace carriage, then turned to look at Bai Shan, who was across the car from her.
Bai Shan felt regretful and wanted to laugh, so he could only hold back his laughter and said, "Don't worry, I will send you meals from the Zhuangyuan Building at noon."
Man Bao felt a little better, "Please remember to order some big meatballs for me. I want to eat big meatballs."
Bai Shan responded with a smile, "I'll also order you a dish of sweet and sour fish."
Only then did the sadness in Manbao's heart disappear. It was all her favorite food.
Fourth Eunuch Rong looked at the time and saw that they would be late if they didn't leave, so he flicked his whip and the carriage started running quickly.
Man Bao just jumped out of the car and saw Doctor Xiao and others standing leisurely at the door, with their hands still in their sleeves. When he saw Man Bao, he smiled and congratulated, "I heard that Mr. Bai Xiaolang has been hit."
Man Bao was surprised, "How do you know?"
She went to see the list in person, and then she realized that it hadn't been long ago.
Doctor Xiao pointed to the boy beside him and said cheerfully: "They went to see them early in the morning and came back as soon as they heard the list. Even if they ran faster, Doctor Zhou was also riding in a carriage. Why did they say this now?
?”
No wonder they felt there were so many people when they squeezed in to look at the red list, and when they ran out they felt there were too many people running around on the road. It turned out to be them.
Man Bao carried the medicine box in and said, "There are too many people on the road and there is a traffic jam."
Dr. Xiao and the others happily said that it would be better to block it a little, "After today, Mr. Bai Xiaolang has finally become famous all over the world."
Then he asked: "Do you want to set up a few tables of wine at the Bai family? Don't forget to wait for me when the time comes to treat guests."
Man Bao began to think deeply, "This matter is indeed important. You should ask Grandma Liu when you get back."
Mrs. Liu was indeed very happy. She was so happy that she walked around the house three times and then took her daughter-in-law to pay homage to the ancestor's tablet.
But after the excitement, she quickly calmed down. When Bai Shan came back, she called him over and invited Mr. Zhuang to come. Then she asked Bai Shan in front of Mr. Zhuang, "What are your plans? If you pass the Jinshi exam,
Next, there are the examinations of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, and then there is the queue to wait for the official position. If your ranking is not low, if you become an official, you can be appointed as an official in the capital even if you are not released outside. Start from a young age."
Bai Shan thought for a while and then said: "Grandma, I am still young and it is too early to become an official. To be honest, I did not do a good job in current affairs this time. I am confused myself. I don't know why I was selected.
I really did a good job on the test paper, but it was because of my previous reputation and practice."
If it was the latter, he would feel guilty; if it was the former, he would be heartbroken.
Are you heartbroken that this year’s candidates are so poor?
But no matter which one it is, he knows his own ability. He is still some way away from becoming an official. Even if he can pass the examination of the Ministry of Rites, it will not be easy for the Ministry of Personnel.
He didn't want to be a phoenix, so he wanted to study for a few more years.
"Grandma, I want to go on a study tour for a while."
Mrs. Liu was already mentally prepared. She sighed when she heard this and asked, "Where do you want to study abroad?"
Bai Shan didn't speak for a while, but just looked at Mr. Zhuang.
Mrs. Liu also glanced at Mr. Zhuang, and then said: "Man Bao is still in the Taiyuan Hospital, does she want to be with you too?"
Bai Shan nodded.
"What about her official position? Let's not talk about her current position, but is Your Majesty willing to let her go?"
Resigning is not something you can just do with your words. What if you resign three times in a row and the emperor doesn't let you go?
Hanging up and leaving?
It's not impossible, but the emperor will definitely be angry when the time comes, and there will definitely be some twists and turns if Man Bao wants to become an official in the future.
Bai Shandao: "It's already winter now. Even going on a study tour will be next year. Let's talk about it next year."
Mr. Zhuang said: "Since you want to resign and go on a study tour, you should start planning from now on. Even if you can't formally resign, you should make some circumstantial remarks to make people mentally prepared. Also, if you want to go to Gaochang, some roads
Things have to be prepared as well.”
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but exclaimed, "Gaochang?"
She turned around to look at Bai Shan and glared: "Are you going to Gaochang?"
Bai Shan nodded bravely, "Grandma, we want to see the customs and customs of the Western Regions."
Madam Liu frowned, "The Central Plains, Jiangnan, and even the Lingnan area of Jiannan Road are good. The Jin Dynasty has a vast territory. You can't go anywhere, so why go to Gaochang? There was a war there just a few years ago."
Bai Shandao: "Grandma, the imperial court does not have strong control over the grasslands and the Western Regions. We want to take a look. In the future, when I become an official, I will definitely have to consider these issues."
"That's too dangerous."
Bai Shan smiled and said: "Even in the Central Plains, there are unavoidable bandits. You may choke on drinking water. Where is it not dangerous? Don't worry, we will bring a few more people when the time comes, and the miracle doctor Manbao is here.
It’ll be okay.”
Mr. Zhuang also nodded, stroking his beard and smiling: "Don't worry, old lady, even an old guy like me can follow you, and they and the other young guys will definitely be fine."
Mrs. Liu: "...Mr. Zhuang is going too?"
"Naturally, since it is a student study tour, I, as the teacher, naturally have to take him with him." And as for the Western Regions, he once wanted to go there when he was young, but unfortunately he had to take care of his family and was short of money. In the end, let alone the Western Regions,
He has never even been to the grassland.
Seeing the excitement under Mr. Zhuang's serious expression, Mrs. Liu was speechless for a while.
But she did feel a little more relaxed. With Mr. Zhuang following her, she would always be more reliable... right?
Mrs. Liu accepted this, but she became worried about something else, "If Man Bao resigns, why will they still plant wheat this year?"
Bai Shandao: "Even if the farmland is no longer hers, the tenant farmers still have to live, and we can't delay their sowing for one season just because she resigned. Besides, we don't need to give this year's wheat seeds, they are all kept by the farmers themselves."
Seed."
Even chickens and other seedlings can be self-sufficient. From the beginning of the year, their investment in the Pucun farmland was some farm tools and cattle, and the seeds were all good seeds left over from the previous year.
It's a pity that they did some calculations and found that the expenses in the previous two years were too large, and even including this year, they have only recovered the money.
Getting their money back means that they have worked in vain for the past three years.
Well, it doesn't count. The tenant farmers' life was better, and they gained psychological satisfaction...if this can be considered a gain.
Bai Shan passed the Jinshi examination, and Man Bao was secretly thinking about resigning.
So today when I went to ask for Ping'an Pulse for the Crown Princess, Man Bao sat on a chair and gnawed a roasted taro. The little emperor's grandson sat on the wooden couch and watched her while eating the complementary food fed to him by the palace maid.
