He said: "When we are familiar with the future, we have already taken care of it. If you want to leave again, I will take you again."
Zhou Lijun could only agree, and then handed an account book to Zhou Lizhong, watching them count the money and send it to the door.
Although the money in the family is held by Zhou Zhoulang and Friday Lang, Zhou Lijun holds all the books, so Manbao doesn't know how much money is in the family. Zhou Lang and Friday Lang probably don't know it very well, but Zhou Lijun is very clear.
She told Zhou Zhoulang, "Fourth Uncle, go early and come back early, I put a piece of paper in the notebook, on which I calculated the highest cost, if the price of porcelain exceeds that price, don't buy it, otherwise you will lose money when you ship it back. "
Zhou Zhoulang responded, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, and I can still make people fool me in this matter?"
Sitting in the mule cart, Zhou Zhoulang still couldn't help sighing.
The third son looked curious, whipped the mule to speed it up, and asked, "Fourth brother, why are you sighing?"
Zhou Zhoulang sighed again, and said: "I sigh that I was slapped in the face. Just as I was thinking of saving my life, my back foot was about to go to Xiazhou, alas~"
The third son didn't know who they were, so he was taken aback when he heard the words, "Aren't you going to Shangzhou? Is Xiazhou very close to Shangzhou?"
"It's far away," Zhou Zhoulang said: "Let's go to Shangzhou to get the porcelain first, and then go to Xiazhou after returning to the capital for a two-day rest. Xiazhou is on the edge of the grassland, and we have to pass the Great Wall."
"What is the Great Wall?"
Zhou Zhoulang thought for a while and said: "It seems to be a wall. Man Bao said that the previous emperor built it to stop the barbarians' cavalry. I have never seen it."
The topic of the two became more and more biased, and the third son didn't care where he went. In his opinion, no matter where he went, as long as he had food, clothes, and money to earn.
His hometown is in Yizhou, as long as he doesn't go back to Yizhou, what's the difference outside
When he earns money and grows up a bit, he will go back to his hometown, buy two pieces of land, and build a house to live in.
It's a pity that the county magistrate is no longer Mr. Tang. I don't know if the new county magistrate will distribute the land to the refugees. If he does, he can save the money to buy the land.
Man Bao is used to Zhou Zhou Lang going out, and lives his life as usual.
She went into the palace and talked to the empress for a while, after two days, Gu Zhong came to her with a booklet.
It is an official letter written by the emperor himself.
Mr. Zhuang brought Man Bao to set up an incense table and knelt down, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng also brought Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Lu to join in the fun.
Gu Zhong unfolded the excerpt, stating that Zhou Man had superb medical skills, and the doctors were benevolent, and his character was precious.
Naturally, the gold belt cannot be made of pure gold, but because the locks on the gold belt are made of gold, and the edges are also made of gold thread.
The emperor gave her a fifth-rank official uniform before, but she didn't have a belt. Now that she has added it, it can be regarded as an official award.
Gu Zhong also closed the booklet and handed it to Man Bao, and said with a smile: "Little Doctor Zhou, no, Master Zhou, congratulations, not counting the official uniform that His Majesty gave you earlier, you can still go to the Ministry of Industry Get two sets."
Man Bao took the booklet and asked, "Who is my superior?"
Gu Zhong smiled and said: "You are an imperial physician, so naturally you are under Xiaoyuan; you are still a fifth-rank editor, and the Imperial Medical Office is the chief of His Royal Highness, so naturally you are His Royal Highness's subordinates."
Man Bao then understood that it still depends on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Man Bao was still in a daze, and after hesitating for a while, he asked, "Then when will I enter the palace to report?"
Gu Zhong knew that it was her first time to be an official and had no experience, so he said with a smile: "No hurry, Mr. Zhou, why not wait a while, when Mr. Yang says that the Chongwen Museum is ready, you can naturally go in."
After saying that, Gu Zhong bent over and wanted to leave.
Mr. Zhuang put a heavy purse in Manbao's hand. Manbao came back to his senses, touched the purse, a little bit reluctant, but still put it in Gu Zhong's hand, "Master Gu, please go away. .”
Seeing that she was reluctant to part with the purse, Gu Zhong couldn't help laughing, then took the purse and stuffed it into the sleeve, and left with a smile.
Man Bao reluctantly leaned against the door and watched him lead the people away on horseback before turning back.
Lu's and Fang's looked at the gold belt on the tray with wonder, while Mrs. Liu took the folder and read it again and again, and said after a while: "I didn't expect Man Bao to be awarded earlier than Shan Bao. official."
Zheng Shi also nodded, but she didn't expect it either.
Fang quickly asked: "Man Bao, do you have an official uniform?"
"Yes, it's in the closet."
"Can you wear it and show us?"
Man Bao's eyes lit up, "Okay, you wait."
After finishing speaking, he immediately ran into the house and rummaged through the boxes.
Finding out the official uniform that was pressed at the bottom of the cabinet, Man Bao took off his clothes and changed into them.
The official uniform of the fifth rank is light scarlet. In fact, she prefers dark scarlet to light scarlet, but her official rank is not high enough.
Putting on the official uniform, Man Bao grabbed the gold belt on the tray and tied it, then opened the door and ran out, "Dangdangdang" stretched his arms and asked, "Does it look good?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Mrs. Lu nodded again and again, then frowned, and asked hesitantly: "It looks good, but I always feel that there is something wrong."
While talking, Bai Shan and the others came back from school, heard the excitement in the main courtyard, put down the book basket and came over.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they froze together.
Man Bao turned around in front of them again and asked, "What's the problem?"
Bai Shan shook his head in a daze, "No problem, you, why did you put on your official uniform?"
Bai Erlang said: "It feels weird."
After looking at it for a while, Mrs. Zheng said, "It's your hair, Man Bao. You have to comb your hair up, it should look better that way."
After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to grab her, pulled her back into the room and helped her brush her hair, "Why did His Majesty only give you the official uniform but not the official hat? Otherwise, you can wear it."
Man Bao looked at himself in the mirror, shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll get it back from the Ministry of Industry."
She leaned closer to look at herself in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but propped her chin to look at the mirror seriously and said, "I'm so pretty."
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but burst out laughing, nodded happily and said, "It's pretty pretty."
Outside the door, Bai Shan had already learned about the appointment of officials from his grandmother and husband, he was relieved when he heard that she had been designated as the fifth rank, and said with a smile: "That's all right, she shouldn't be able to do it when she enters the Chongwen Hall." Being bullied."
Mr. Zhuang also nodded with a smile.
They were happy here, but they didn't know that the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the court made a lot of trouble because of the appointment of officials this time. Wei Zhi blocked the entrance of the Taiji Hall and told the emperor that it was against the rules.
He preached to the emperor with a sullen face, "Your Majesty should have a certain degree of love for talents. She was appointed as a fifth-rank official in one step. What do other courtiers think?"
He said: "Your Majesty is not loving her, but harming her! Please take back the imperial decree."
The emperor was not very happy to directly seal Zhou Man as a fifth-rank official, because now that he has been sealed as a fifth-rank official, after she compiles the book, no matter how meritorious the imperial medical office is, how can he seal it
You can't really let her be a second- and third-rank official, can you
But Wei Zhi was not happy talking to him like this, so he said: "This is the queen's suggestion, why don't Aiqing persuade the queen?"
Wei Zhi: …
