After getting in the car, shopkeeper Xiao Zheng squeezed up to sit with her.
Man Bao looked at him silently.
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng coughed lightly, "Little Doctor Zhou, why did I hear Aunt Shang mean that you will enter the palace tomorrow?"
Man Bao nodded, "The empress gave me a post to attend the empress dowager's Qianqiu banquet."
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng clutched his chest and felt very complicated. Although he had already guessed, but he really knew that he was still shocked.
He was envious and bitter at the same time, "My uncle has been an imperial physician for so many years, so he can only stay on duty in the imperial hospital for such a big banquet."
He paused and said: "No, even the director of the Tai Hospital can only be on duty in the Tai Hospital."
Man Bao asked, "Why?"
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng sighed, "We doctors are inferior to those grown-ups after all, we only treat people."
Man Bao frowned, although he didn't agree in his heart, he didn't say anything, and instead asked, "What do you usually do at the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Banquet?"
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng has never participated, how would he know
However, "Banquets are mostly just eating and drinking."
Man Bao felt the same way, birthday banquet, although she ate less, but she also had it, had a meal, gave a gift, talked to the birthday man, made him happy, and the banquet was over.
It's just that the people who go to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet are different.
Shopkeeper Xiaozheng got off the car in front of Jishitang, and said to Manbao, "Little Doctor Zhou, I won't be able to accompany you into the palace tomorrow, so be careful yourself."
Man Bao nodded in response.
Man Bao looked at the time in the system, and smiled with Daji: "Let's go, let's pick up the younger brother and the others."
When they arrived at the gate of the Imperial College, Bai Shan and the others hadn't finished school yet, so Man Bao sat in the carriage, took out a pen and paper from the medicine box, and wrote down the things he was going to buy later.
When Bai Shan and the others arrived, she had just finished writing.
Liu Huan greeted her warmly and asked, "Where are you going to play today?"
Man Bao said: "Let's go shopping in the street today."
Liu Huan asked, "What to buy?"
"Buy some toys for my friends." Man Bao happily said to Bai Shan, "The queen gave me a few posts. We can go to the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Banquet together tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he took out the four invitation cards, gave each of Bai Shan and Bai Cheng one, took one for himself, and handed the remaining one to Yin He who was standing aside.
Yin was taken aback for a moment, and took it blankly.
Liu Huan, who was the only one with empty hands, looked left and right, and then looked at the post in Yin Or's hand, "What do you want this for?"
Yin Ru had already put it away, and said to Man Bao, "Then shall we meet at the gate of the palace tomorrow?"
Man Bao nodded.
Liu Huan: "No, you can enter the palace already, why do you need another post?"
Bai Shan said angrily: "Has he ever entered the palace before?"
"That's not true," Liu Huan said, "But isn't that because he is weak? You have to salute when entering the palace, and you have to stand. Their family is afraid that he won't be able to bear it, so they won't let him enter the palace."
Man Bao said: "He is fit enough to enter the palace now."
She turned her head to Yin He and said, "Anyway, you can enter the palace. You can use this invitation card. If you don't need it, you can keep it as a souvenir. I think the writing on it is very beautiful, and the painting is also beautiful."
"Of course it looks good," Bai Erlang said, "These invitations were all written and drawn by our seniors, and the characters they chose were well written."
Man Bao: "Hey, do you Taixue students still do this kind of thing?"
Bai Shan didn't think there was anything wrong, "Our Guozixue students are often arrested and copied some things, this is a normal thing."
As they talked, they climbed into the carriage, and Liu Huan squeezed in. She was also curious about what Man Bao went to buy.
Man Bao knew what Ming Da wanted, so he went directly to the main street, jumped out of the carriage and picked it up.
For example, some small dragonflies, some wooden swords or uniquely shaped pen holders, wooden horses and the like, and some beautiful little hairpin rings. Man Bao bought two copies of them all. He planned to find a beautiful rattan box to pack them up when he went back. One for Mingda and one for Princess Changyu.
Liu Huan was still thinking about it, "Since you asked for invitations for him, why didn't you get an extra copy for me?"
Man Bao's left ear went in, and the right ear went out. She was really annoyed at the back, so she said: "You can definitely enter the palace, and your family will not stop you."
Liu Huan turned to Yin He and asked, "Will your family stop you?"
Yin nodded, "Yes."
"Then how are you going out tomorrow?"
"Take a carriage."
Liu Huan: ...
Bai Shan turned his head and asked, "Do you want us to pick you up?"
Yin or was about to shake his head, but he didn't shake after thinking about it, but asked, "Did you get up so early?"
"What's so difficult about it, we get up early when we go to the temple fair at home."
Yin Ju smiled and said, "Okay, then come to my house to pick me up."
Liu Huan was so sad, "I'll go with you too. It just so happens that our two families are not far away. When you come to pick him up, call me."
Bai Erlang felt that he was very strange, "Didn't you dislike Yin Yu before, why do you always want to play with us now?"
Liu Huan poked his neck and said, "Didn't you have conflicts with him before? Besides, I don't like him, but I like you."
When the three of Man Bao heard it, they felt that what he said was very reasonable, so they patted him on the shoulder and agreed.
When they returned home, Mr. Zhuang saw that they had divided up the toys and things, but they still didn't mention the most important thing, so he asked, "You guys are going to the Qianqiu Banquet, what do you plan to give the Queen Mother?"
The three of them froze, and Qiqi looked up from the rattan box, "Are we still going to give gifts?"
Only then did Man Bao realize belatedly, "That's right, we didn't go with the adults, no one gave gifts, we have to give them."
Bai Shan frowned, "How do I get this?"
Bai Erlang said: "That's the royal family, so they won't give gift money too, right? Then we need to buy something? Many shops outside are going to be closed right now, and what should we buy?"
Man Bao also became distressed, and she finally remembered, "Ming Da seems to have embroidered a birthday character for the Queen Mother."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at her in unison, "Do you know how to embroider?"
Man Bao shook his head, "But I can write, why don't we find a piece of very beautiful paper and write the word "Shou" on it?"
Bai Shan: "Will you just write one? Do you want to write ninety-nine?"
Bai Erlang: "If you want to write well, it's too late now, right?"
Mr. Zhuang coughed lightly and asked, "Where can you find good-looking paper now?"
The three of them looked at each other, and Bai Erlang glared at Bai Shan vigorously. Bai Shan and him glared at each other, then turned to look at Man Bao.
Man Bao blinked, nodded and said, "I'll figure it out, but what about the word?"
Mr. Zhuang looked at Man Bao and asked, "What kind of paper do you use?"
Man Bao said: "I have a collection of good paper, which was given to me when I was seeing a doctor."
Mr. Zhuang nodded. He knew that Man Bao would always receive some good things as gifts when he went to the rich and powerful's house now.
Seeing that the fooling had passed, Man Bao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
