Man Bao ran all the way over, still out of breath. When he saw the clerk, he quickly saluted and apologized, saying that he had missed the appointment.
The clerk was still a little angry in his heart, even though Zhou Man was favored, his rank was higher than him, and he was taken care of by his top boss, but he still felt angry.
But now seeing Zhou Man bowing to the end, the little anger dissipated. She is a fifth-rank official after all, she is so much higher than the eighth-rank clerk like him.
With such a humble and sincere apology, it is naturally... forgiven.
No matter how many thoughts flashed in his mind, anyway, the clerk returned the greeting with a smile on his face, saying that he didn't wait long and didn't mind at all.
Then lead Man Bao into the public house to go through the formalities.
After seeing Man Bao's post, he also praised Man Bao's gorgeous and precious post, well-written characters, and a very good seal, anyway, it was the best he had ever seen.
This is of course impossible, yesterday she heard from Bai Shan that the gold skin used directly in official posts was shiny.
After reviewing her posts, the clerk began to file her and asked her to fill in a lot of information.
The procedures were done very quickly, but no matter how quickly, it took about a quarter of an hour to sign so many documents and check the salary that should be issued. Entering the file, he said with a smile: "If Mr. Zhou is busy, you can send someone a message. It's the same if you come back tomorrow. No matter when, the next official will wait for you after receiving Liu Shangshu's order."
Man Bao felt very embarrassed and said: "It's not good to let you wait for an hour in vain. Today is busy, and tomorrow may not be able to come on time."
The clerk asked curiously, "Is the East Palace very busy?"
He immediately realized that what he asked was not good, and immediately explained: "It's just that Master Zhou seems to be very busy."
Man Bao smiled and said: "It's not the East Palace, it's the empress who has some orders, so it's a bit late."
The clerk nodded with a smile, and didn't ask any more questions. Of course, he felt that Zhou Man wouldn't say anything, so he still had to be sensible.
The knowledgeable clerk once again said that he should wait for Zhou Man, and Mrs. Zhou need not feel uneasy, and comforted her very much.
The clerk closed the file, and smiled respectfully with Man Bao: "The file has been entered, Mr. Zhou's family members can receive the salary if they come with the same post."
Man Bao said excitedly: "They will come tomorrow."
Clerk: ... In fact, there is no need to be so eager.
But after glancing at the excited Zhou Man, the clerk silently swallowed the words back.
Forget it, even the favored minister is just a girl in her teens, and I think he was very excited when he received his salary for the first time.
However, it seems that tomorrow will come earlier to inform the colleagues who pay the salary to prepare a full salary.
There are not many officials in the Jin Dynasty, so the salary is still very generous. In addition to money, there is also cloth, which Lu Mi can receive.
If the weather is too hot, you can occasionally receive ice cubes if you are above the fifth rank of Beijing official. Although there are not many, it is not only an honor, but also worth a lot of money.
Zhou Man happened to step on this line.
However, this year's household department is a bit difficult. Thinking of hearing the discussions of colleagues today, the clerk feels that this year's adults will be out of ice.
Man Bao finished his work and left happily.
Only now did the orange sunset appear in the sky, and she walked slowly along the walls of the imperial city towards the palace gate, only now did she feel that she ran too hard just now, and her legs seemed a little sore.
Not only my legs are sore, but my stomach also hurts a little.
Man Bao felt it carefully, and finally gave himself a diagnosis—hungry!
She looked up at the sunset in the sky, rubbed her belly and thought to herself: Today is not only exhausting my brain but also my physical strength, and I forgot to eat snacks in the afternoon, no wonder I am so hungry.
Man Bao walked back to the East Palace and was about to go back to the Chongwen Museum when he saw Bai Shan waiting at the gate of the East Palace.
She took two quick steps and asked, "Why are you here?"
Bai Shan, who was about to teach her a lesson, saw that her walking posture was wrong, paused, then frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your feet?"
Man Bao sighed, "The foot is fine, but the leg seems to be strained. I ran too fast and rushed just now."
Bai Shan was a little anxious, "Why are you so careless, you are still a doctor thanks to you."
Man Bao said: "They have been waiting for me for more than an hour."
Bai Shan understood what she meant, it's not good to keep people waiting for a long time or for nothing, he swallowed back what he wanted to say about her, he squatted down in front of her, "I'll carry you on my back."
Man Bao's eyes lit up, and he lay on his back and said, "This is not good, I can still go."
Bai Shan rolled his eyes with his back to Man Bao, and muttered in his heart, then why don't you lie down!
Bai Shan picked her up directly, and asked: "Xiao Yuanzheng and the others are all gone now, what should you do, do you want someone to go to the imperial hospital and invite an imperial doctor to come and see?"
Man Bao lay on his back and said happily: "No, I have some ointment, I'll wipe it off after dinner, and sleep overnight."
Bai Shan weighed her up, and after confirming that she didn't complain of pain, he reluctantly believed her words, lowered his voice and said to her: "Although Xu Yu can't be trusted, you can still ask her to help you with things like applying medicine." Yes, it will be more convenient for you."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly, realizing that he couldn't see, so he responded.
Hearing the joy in her voice, Bai Shan couldn't help but smile, and walked down the long corridor with her on his back.
There were almost no people on the road at this moment, even if they met palace servants and servants, they were not afraid, because there was no such thing as forbidden to recite people in the palace rules.
As long as they don't run, they don't rush.
Bai Shan carried Man Bao all the way back to his residence without even breathing.
He has been practicing martial arts and boxing with Daji for several years, and he also eats a lot, so he is much stronger than Manbao.
There is obviously only one year difference between the two of them. When they were young, they were almost the same height. When Man Bao grew the fastest, when he was seven or eight years old, he was once as tall as Bai Shan. But in the past two years, Bai Shan grew taller and taller, and Man Bao grew slower and slower. Unknowingly, the people who were suppressed and beaten by Man Bao before could walk around the East Palace with her on their backs.
When Man Bao was put on the bed, he was both happy and sad, "It's been half a year, and I've only grown so much."
Bai Shan reached out and touched her head and said, "It's good to grow slowly, and the legs don't hurt."
He said: "Bai Er and I have grown up so fast. Recently, when we sleep at night, our legs feel sore and sore, and sometimes we even have cramps."
Man Bao never knew this, so he quickly grabbed his hand, "Shall I show you?"
Bai Shan generously showed her the pulse, and for the convenience of her taking the pulse, he even dragged a small stool over to sit on.
Man Bao touched his pulse and said: "No problem, it seems that it is indeed because it grows too fast."
