For the entire eighteen days, Prince Gong was tired and hungry every day, because he was always hungry, so he didn't have extra energy to think about the affairs of the court and the palace.
When he finally waited until Zhou Man was going to rest and leave the palace again, and finally he could take a breath of relief, the prince's reputation had improved a lot.
The courtiers naturally didn't know the content of Mr. Zhuang's class, because what Mr. Zhuang said to the prince was quite rebellious, so Eunuch Wu has been firmly guarding the doors and windows.
Later, the prince deliberately let Eunuch Wu guard the doors and windows.
After all, the Chongwen Museum is still in the East Palace, which is also a place for teaching. Although there are many people, few people will take the risk of spying on Mr. Zhuang to teach the prince.
Because it's not worth it.
Zhuang Xun has no power and power, and his rank is not high, so how much benefit can he bring to the prince if he stands completely by the prince's side
In contrast, when the ministers like Wei Zhi came to give lectures to the crown prince, they obviously deserved more attention.
Because as long as they get closer to the prince, they can still join their party for personal gain. Of course, so far, they haven't caught this handle.
Among these people, there are those who don't give up on Prince Gong's faction, and there are also people who hate Wei Zhi, Mr. Tang, Li Shangshu and others very much. Anyway, everyone is smiling every day, and no one knows what's going on in their hearts.
Bai Shan and the others had a perfect job, and as soon as they met Man Bao, they found that they were both secrets, and they immediately became overjoyed.
Bai Shan asked her curiously, "Why are you black?"
Man Bao said: "I go to see Prince Gong climb the mountain every day, and I took the opportunity to dig a lot of plants. Although there are shade trees, they are also exposed to the sun, so they are dark."
She looked him up and down, and said happily, "But I think you are darker than me."
Bai Shandao: "We get more sun than you, and you still have rouge to apply, so of course you are whiter than me."
The two of them went out of the palace while talking, the crown prince was considerate of them not coming home for a long time, so he allowed them to leave the palace one night in advance.
Man Bao didn't care whether he was in it or not, as soon as he came back from Daming Palace and heard the news, he immediately packed up his things and wanted to leave the palace.
She followed the seven of them, and even went out of the palace, because they often went in and out together, and the imperial guards guarding the palace gate didn't think there was anything wrong.
In fact, it was Hugh Mu the next day.
While talking, Man Bao led the horse and Bai Shan out of the palace. As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, she couldn't help but look back, and Bai Shan tugged at her and said, "Let's go."
Then Man Bao jumped on his horse and ran away with Bai Shan Bai Erlang.
Yin Or was still in the carriage, and the three of them ran to Yin Or's car and greeted him, "If you're bored at home, come and play with us."
Yin may feel that he may not want to go out these two days, but wants to lie down and rest at home.
The three of Bai Shan passed him and left the imperial city on horseback, and then went to Chongyuan Square.
As soon as they got home, they found that Daji and the others were already waiting. Fang didn't expect Man Bao to come back with him, and immediately greeted her happily, "Sister-in-law, come quickly, there's a letter from home."
Man Bao immediately dropped his horse and ran forward, "Where's Xin?"
Bai Dalang on the side said silently: "It's here with me."
Only then did everyone see Bai Dalang standing aside, and immediately asked, "Where's Mr.?"
Bai Dalang: "...Mr. Jiang has a grandson. When he was happy, he took him to drink. I just got a message from someone. I'm afraid that Mr. Jiang will rest at Jiang's house tonight."
Only then did Man Bao's attention return to the letter, and he hurriedly asked, "What did my family's letter say?"
Bai Dalang pointed to the guard at the side and said: "Did you see that, the letter just arrived, the letter is still warm, and I didn't have time to open it."
So he divided one of the two letters in his hand to Man Bao, and opened his own.
But Bai Shan didn't, his family members are all in the capital.
Man Bao and Bai Dalang opened the letter at the same time, and after a while they exclaimed, "My God, my parents are coming to the capital!"
Both Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were startled, one ran to Man Bao to read the letter, and the other went to Bai Dalang to read the letter.
The two glanced at ten lines at a time, and at the same time, Bai Dalang and Man Bao also stared nervously and looked again from the top. After confirming, they felt shocked physically and mentally.
After the shock, Man Bao was overjoyed, wishing to jump up and cheer, "My parents are coming! Brother and sister-in-law are coming too!"
But Bai Dalang couldn't help but look at Bai Erlang, the two brothers were a little trembling and didn't dare to think deeply.
Bai Erlang also recovered quickly, swallowed his saliva and looked at his elder brother sympathetically, "Brother, Dad's letter said that this time he came here mainly for your marriage, this time they brought the bride too gone."
Bai Dalang shared some of the pressure for Bai Erlang, and said: "It's not all right, Dad also said that he was very happy to know that you entered the Chongwen Museum, so he also came to Beijing to see you, and I'm afraid he has to urge you."
Bai Shan is as happy as Man Bao, he also likes old Zhou Tou, of course, he likes Mrs. Zhou the most.
Fang and the others were also shocked, and then immediately moved forward, but they didn't know many words, so they wanted to ask Bai Dalang to read it for them.
"Sister, did the letter say when they will arrive in the capital and how many people are there?"
Man Bao said: "In our family, the eldest brother and sister-in-law came out with their parents. The letter said that they came to Beijing to visit me and marry my sixth brother."
Man Bao said happily: "Father must know that I have become an official, so he came to see me specially."
Fang felt the same, thought for a while and said: "Then we have to clean up the two courtyards at the back, so that our family can live in one, and Master Bai's can live in the other alone."
Lu said: "The straw mats, quilts, and cabinets all have to be prepared."
Fang said: "By the way, I have to tell Lijun and the others. They are still in the restaurant and don't know anything."
Liru, who came back from Jishitang exhausted, said immediately when he heard it: "I'll go tell Fifth Uncle and Second Sister, sister, only uncle and aunt are here, my parents aren't here, are they?"
"No, the second brother, the second sister-in-law and the third brother and the third sister-in-law are staying at home."
Zhou Liru breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay, it's not bad if her mother doesn't come.
Zhou Liru happily ran out, found a servant to drive, and went to the restaurant.
As soon as she left, Man Bao had time to study her father's letter, and when he looked at it, he realized something was wrong, "When was this letter written?"
Bai Dalang also noticed something was wrong, and turned his head to look at the guard delivering the letter.
The guard finally found Kong to speak, and he said weakly: "Master, I was sick when I arrived in Shangzhou, so I stayed in Shangzhou for five days. When this letter was sent out, the master said that they would go out the next day. .”
Everyone: ...
The speed of a single horse and a team is naturally different, but no matter how much the difference is, it only takes nine days to travel from Luojiang County to the capital by horse-drawn carriage. .
Several people counted the time and found to their surprise that today is the eleventh day.
Bai Shandao: "Then uncle and the others should arrive in a day or two, right?"
