Mrs. Liu said: "In the Western Region, we need to prepare food and clothing for the whole journey, and we don't know how long it will take to go there. We need clothes for all seasons, especially when the weather is cold there..."
"Okay, you can buy clothes like this if you have money. It won't make him cold. Just pack a few sets in a season. It's true to prepare more shoes and socks. If you don't have ready-made ones at home, just go outside and buy them...
"
"The ones bought outside are not as comfortable as those made at home. There are also some medicinal materials and pills..."
"Have you forgotten who is the chief official of this trip to the Western Regions? With Dr. Zhou here, are you afraid that there is no such thing?" Liu Shangshu said: "Just prepare some clothes, shoes and socks, as long as you still have money, leave the rest to me
.”
At Liu Shangshu's insistence, no more than two carriages were sent out the next day. One was the carriage arranged for Liu Huan, and the other was specially used to pull their luggage, and Liu Huan alone took up most of it.
Liu Shangshu was afraid that she would add more things, so he ordered two stewards and three guards early in the morning and asked them to chase Liu Huan immediately.
Among them, only one steward and three guards followed Liu Huan to the Western Regions, and the remaining ones would come back after finding the person.
Liu Shangshu waited to see if he could bring back a few words from him.
The Liu family's carriage drove quickly, and they also ate dry food at noon. Finally, at noon the next day, they caught up with Bai Shan and others who were resting in a small town.
It is not difficult to find them. You only need to ask the stall owner on the road if there is a group of officials from the imperial court passing by.
It was already the third day, and Liu Huan saw that his family had never come, and he was both looking forward to it and feeling anxious.
He hoped that his grandparents would really forget about him, and he was worried that the longer time passed, the angrier his grandparents would become when they found him.
Secretly, he already felt that his family would probably take him back, so when he saw the uncle who was in charge of the family finally showing up, he burst into tears.
Man Bao looked at it for a moment, a little at a loss, "You, don't cry."
Bai Erlang also quickly comforted him, "I'm not necessarily here to arrest you."
Bai Shan took a look at the green cloth carriage brought by the Liu family's guards and the cart of luggage behind the green cloth carriage. He couldn't help laughing, shook his head and let Liu Huan wipe his tears.
He went up to greet the steward of the Liu family.
Yin You also saw the luggage in the car and said to Liu Huan, "Don't cry. Your grandfather is here to deliver things to you."
Liu Huan said "Ah", glanced at him with jealousy, and then looked out the door.
Manager Liu and Bai Shan met with each other and took out the letter from their old master to Bai Shan and gave it to him, "This is the letter from our old master to Mr. Bai and Mr. Zhou."
Bai Shan took it and saw his and Man Bao's names written on the envelope. He smiled and nodded in agreement, asking him to pay his respects to Liu Huan.
Liu Huan glanced at the large and small boxes in the car, and he went to the side with Manager Liu to whisper. After a long time, he came back with a letter in his hand, happy and worried at the same time, and said to his friends: "My grandfather promised
I’m going to the Western Regions.”
Bai Erlang asked: "But what?"
Liu Huan slumped his shoulders and said, "But my grandfather gave me a lot of homework."
Bai Erlang asked curiously, "Where is your homework?"
Liu Huan looked at Mr. Zhuang standing aside.
Everyone looked over, and sure enough, Manager Liu was already holding a letter and bending down to talk to Mr. Zhuang.
In addition to a letter, the Liu family also sent Mr. Zhuang a generous gift, including two gold ingots.
It is said that it was Shu Xiu who asked Mr. Zhuang to teach Liu Huan.
Two Honglu Temple passers-by looked at Mr. Zhuang with envy.
As for twenty taels of gold ingots, Mr. Zhuang's annual salary is not that high. Is being a gentleman so profitable?
Mr. Zhuang also didn’t expect that he would not only be able to take three disciples on a study tour, but he would also be able to make extra money as a foreigner.
After a pause, he happily accepted the gold, and told Manager Liu that he would also give Liu Huan assignments when assigning homework to his disciples, and would teach him as a disciple.
All Liu Shangshu wanted was this sentence.
He knew that the child said he was going out to experience the study tour, but if no one was watching, the study tour would probably turn into a fun activity.
As for the people who were traveling with them, not to mention Bai Shan and the others, they were all still young, and even Zhou Man was still childish and playful. Only Mr. Zhuang could still remember their lessons.
Mr. Zhuang was a lecturer at the Chongwen Hall. He was praised by the emperor several times for teaching the prince. He also taught three outstanding disciples, Bai Shan, Zhouman and Bai Cheng. He took his grandson to study. Liu Shangshu was released one hundred times. Personal heart.
Bai Shan quietly poked Liu Huan and whispered: "Why don't you write a letter of apology to your grandparents..."
Liu Huan became entangled, "How to write this?"
Not to mention Bai Shan, even Bai Erlang looked at him with contempt, "You can't even write this?"
The three of them taught him very experiencedly, "Just imagine how you would plead guilty if you were caught and pushed to the ground, and then write how you would."
Liu Huan:……
Yin You couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, turned to Changshou and said, "Go and get some paper and pen. Your steward is probably in a hurry to go back and get back to work, so write it quickly and send it back to your grandfather."
Liu Huan couldn't help but have a headache, but it was much better than he expected, so he still held the pen and frowned to think.
Seeing that he couldn't hold back a word for a long time, Zhou Liru said, "Just cry, and then say how much you want to go on a study tour with your friends."
"Does this work?"
"If your grandparents love you, it will definitely work," she said: "Every time my sister-in-law does something bad, she cries with my grandparents like this, and then my grandparents feel very distressed."
Man Bao: "...Nonsense, how could I be so cunning?"
Bai Shanze and Liu Huandao said, "Just write it like this."
Bai Erlang urged, "Hurry up, we have to hurry up after dinner, and we have to rush to the next station to rest in the evening."
Liu Huan could only bite the bullet and pick up the pen to write. It took him almost half an hour to write out a letter.
Then he gave the letter to Manager Fang and asked him to take it home to his grandfather.
Liu Huan also had his own carriage, and the team added four more people and two cars, making it look longer.
Nie Changcun, the recording officer who was responsible for escorting them, sighed as he watched, and then went to the Yin family generals to rearrange the order of the carriages and horses.
Because of Yin You's involvement, the person who was originally responsible for escorting them was a seventh-rank Cao officer from Honglu Temple who joined the army. Yin Li made some connections, and Nie Changcun, who had some relationship with the Yin family, took charge of the matter.
He is the seventh grade.
But in fact, the actual decision-makers were several generals who came with Yin You, and they were all Yin Li's generals.
I followed him to the battlefield, killed enemies, and even led troops.
Manbao didn't care about these things, but Nie Canjun still reported to her after making adjustments. After all, she was the chief officer.
Man Bao nodded, indicating that he understood the matter.
She never interferes in things she doesn't understand.
