Yang Heshu glanced at him and then smiled and said: "You should go back. It would be great if you can return to the capital in time for the year before. It doesn't matter if you can't make it. If you return to the capital on the second and third day of the new year, your majesty may feel calmer after seeing it."
After all, they were also rushing to the capital during the Chinese New Year, so they could barely show that they weren't delaying on purpose.
Although the time they spent was not very convincing.
Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao and couldn't help asking Yang Heshu, "Your Majesty is so angry?"
Yang Heshu said angrily: "What do you think?"
He said: "Zhihe said that General Ashina praised you again and again after he returned. He also said that you were only separated in Shazhou City because you brought more people, so the speed was slower."
"Your Majesty originally thought that even if you were slow, you would have returned to the capital in five or six days, but it turns out that it has been almost half a month and you still haven't made any move."
"By the way, I'm afraid you don't know. General Guo returned to his hometown with his coffin. He passed through Xiazhou seven days ago. He should have arrived in the capital now," Yang Heshu said: "I asked General Guo about the time of departure. He said
You set off from Xizhou three days late, and he has now returned to the capital. What do you think His Majesty will be thinking of you?"
Man Bao and the others were surprised at first, and then they were happy, "General Guo returned home with his coffin in his arms?"
Yang Heshu responded, saying that this matter was not a secret in the court for a long time. Zhou Man and the others were far away from the center of the government and were always on the road, so they didn't hear about it.
"His Majesty felt regretful shortly after Chai Duhu left, so he issued a new imperial edict, reinstating General Guo's official position, and sent people to welcome General Guo back to Beijing for funeral."
The emperor was always kind to his heroes. When many generals who followed him through life and death died, the emperor would ask the Ministry of Rites to attend to their funerals, and he would even often attend funerals to express his condolences.
Yang Heshu said: "Your Majesty is much softer now than before."
If a general had made such a big mistake in the past, he would never have let it go so lightly, let alone changed the order overnight and quickly reversed his will.
"But don't do whatever you want just because His Majesty is soft-hearted. You did waste too much time on the road this time. Be prepared to apologize when you get back."
Man Bao and Bai Shan could only agree reluctantly.
Yang Heshu couldn't help but smile after seeing this, "A mistake is a mistake, and merit is merit. I heard that you have found a recipe for vaccination with cowpox this time?"
Manbao nodded and briefly talked about the process and effects of vaccination.
Yang Heshu was thoughtful and asked, "Can I see your data and medical records?"
That was important data. When Man Bao heard it, he said it was no problem and she could take out the booklet and show it to him later.
Man Bao felt his hand grasping, and he lowered his head and saw Brother Qi, who was staring curiously at the red tourmaline on Man Bao's hand.
This is the red tourmaline that Bai Shan went to three stores to get. There are four strands of them, overlapping and wrapped around his hand. They are particularly beautiful and eye-catching.
Well, it is also particularly attractive to children.
Man Bao stretched out his arm in front of his eyes and asked with a smile: "Does it look good?"
Ms. Cui smiled and said, "I don't know what's going on with this kid. He's obviously a boy, but he likes this kind of jewelry makeup very much."
She glanced at Yang Heshu worriedly. In fact, she wanted to ask Manbao's child privately if he was sick.
Man Bao said happily: "Children all like shiny things. If he likes it, just let him play with it. But be careful. You can look at such things, but you can't put them in your mouth."
Manbao thought about it and felt that there was always slack in manpower, so he said: "Xue's sister-in-law can use some bright fabrics to make toys for him. Children like brightly colored and shiny things. It's not easy to give them to him to play with.
Just give him something suitable to play with."
Ms. Cui was stunned and asked, "Is this normal?"
"Yes, it's nature," Man Bao said, "Everyone has a love for beauty. Children don't know how to hide their thoughts, so they show it more obviously."
Mrs. Cui turned to look at her son, who was leaning against Yang Heshu's legs, and then raised her head to look at her husband's face.
Yang Heshu was smiling slightly, but now he couldn't help but pause when he saw his wife's expression.
Ms. Cui was jealous. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and pinched her son's face with her fingers. She was really heartless. She obviously took him the longest every day and often took him to play. As a result,
Whenever his father appears, he always becomes more attached to his father.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but now she felt so sad.
Man Bao didn't know what she was thinking, so he happily took out a box, opened it and showed it to Cui, "Sister-in-law, look, these are the things we gave you."
The gifts were given by everyone, and Yang Heshu also received a good piece of raw jade, which had been cut out and was of good quality, but it had not been polished.
Bai Shandao: "We saw two pieces of jade like this at that time, which were of good quality, so we thought about giving one to each of Senior Brother Yang and Senior Brother Tang. We can design it ourselves and let the craftsmen make it for whatever we want to do."
Yang Heshu was very surprised when he saw this piece of white jade, "It's indeed very beautiful, thank you."
What Cui got was a box of gems, all of which Man Bao personally selected.
She smiled and said: "This is really a local specialty."
Manbao and the others brought a lot of gifts to their relatives and friends, and they planned to collect and use them themselves and did not plan to sell them out. In total, they were not a lot at all.
Everyone went to pick up the luggage, and finally felt that they were reluctant to do anything here. Even Yin You urged Manbao, "When your niece comes, ask her if she can go back with us."
Zhou Lijun learned this from Xiang Ming when it was almost dark. She had her hair combed into a bun and was obviously married. As soon as she entered the door, she rushed up to hug her sister, and then went to find Zhou Man, "Where is my sister-in-law?"
Zhou Liru's face turned red and he said excitedly: "My sister-in-law is talking to Mr. Yang in the study. Second sister..."
She glanced at Xiang Mingxue, who came in behind, and asked in a low voice: "Are you married to your second brother-in-law?"
Zhou Lijun tapped her forehead and said with a smile: "You are stupid. You call him second brother-in-law. Can I not marry him?"
Xiang Mingxue stepped forward with a smile and saluted his sister-in-law. Zhou Liru hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "My sister-in-law is talking to Mr. Yang about cowpox in the study. I will take you to see our luggage first."
Zhou Lijun: "What's so interesting about the luggage?"
When she turned around a yard and saw the luggage piled on the car and in the yard, she opened her mouth wide, "Is this all your luggage?"
I already brought enough luggage when I went there, so why do I need three or four times more luggage when I come back?
Zhou Liru said: "Yes, there are things we bought for ourselves, as well as for relatives and friends, and the rest are for sale. Second sister, you don't know, we encountered a den of horse thieves on the road, and there are many
If we don’t get the treasure, we won’t be able to get it, so there are a lot of things.”
