Master Tang swears that he really just wanted to find out if Sun Junma wanted to stay in the capital, and if he stayed in the capital, would he enter the Guozijian? He had no other intention at all.
As a result, it got out of hand from the beginning, and Man Bao told Mr. Tang everything except some unreliable or ambiguous news that she herself thought was unreliable.
Master Tang swore that he didn't want to hear it, but his wife was very interested, so he followed suit.
Man Bao said: "...the Queen Mother's shed outside the Huguo Temple is still there. I heard that it will be set up until the second day of February, because she had nightmares again a few days ago."
Master Tang pricked up his ears.
Man Bao said: "I think the Queen Mother only dreams every day because she thinks about it every day."
What she didn't say was that maybe the queen mother was really old and her body was rapidly weakening, so when she felt uncomfortable, she couldn't help but think about it.
In particular, she should have a premonition of her own lifespan, so she can't help thinking about the past recently.
Even to Man Bao, she couldn't help talking about her youth.
Man Bao sighed: "I gave her acupuncture, but the effect is not very good, she always dreams at night."
Master Tang was thoughtful, and couldn't help but exchanged glances with Mrs. Tang.
Bai Shan took out his purse, took two strings of money to the boss, and said, "We're full, let's go back."
Tang He immediately came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Let me invite you."
Bai Shan shook his head, "Brother, why should you be polite to us?"
Tang He said: "You are still students, how can you spend your money? Hurry up and put it away."
Bai Shan has asked the boss to calculate the money.
There were a lot of people in their group, and the boss was not very good at arithmetic, so he could only add one by one. Man Bao couldn't see it, so he just glanced at them, counted the number of people, and reported him a number.
The boss is now the fourth person. He was stunned for a while when Zhou Man reported the number to him, and then he forgot the number he had just counted.
When Bai Shan saw it, he said, "It's my fault, I should settle it for you."
After finishing speaking, he took a string of money from him, and counted thirty-six cash from it to him.
The boss glanced at the one hundred and thirty-six Wen coins in his hand, hesitated for a while, and finally took a look at their clothes and accessories, thinking that these rich people would not cheat him of a small money from a street vendor, so he stopped struggling. Send them away with a smile.
Tang He watched from the side, tsk-tsk said: "Your mental calculations are getting faster and faster, Bai Shan, are you also planning to go to the household department?"
Bai Shan shook his head, "I don't like to enter the sixth department directly. I want to let it out first like Brother Yang. It's best to go around and have a look."
Man Bao interjected, "We want to go to Gaochang."
Tang He: "... Bai Shan is fine, you are an imperial doctor, can you go out of Beijing? Or go to such a far place."
Man Bao said indifferently: "You can always find an opportunity, if it doesn't work, you should resign for two years."
Tang He gave her a thumbs up, and then said to Mrs. Tang: "This is the difference between being capable and not capable."
Those who are incapable will panic if they leave the officialdom for a while, for fear that they will not be able to recover.
And someone like Zhou Man, even if she has no family background, she also has more chances to enter the officialdom again. As long as her medical skills are still there.
Mrs. Tang nodded and agreed.
Zhou Man, who had no family background, was being yelled at by the Queen Mother at this time, "Let someone go to Xuandu Temple to donate some sesame oil money, and set up a shed at the foot of the mountain. What Zhou Man said is true, since it is given to the Buddhist family, it is not good. For Taoism, gods and Buddhas, worship them all, who might be effective?"
After a moment of silence, Mother Dou couldn't help reminding, "Mother, Zhou Man is not on good terms with the prince after all."
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Forget it, as she said, which one of the people in this palace is not related to Lao Wu?"
"The emperor is Lao Wu's elder brother, the queen is Lao Wu's sister-in-law, and the prince and Mingda are also Lao Wu's nephews and nieces. Doesn't she treat people as usual?" The Queen Mother said: , she hates the fifth one alone, and even has a doctor's benevolence towards Yunfeng, so how can she hurt the family?"
Mother Dou couldn't think of it at all, and couldn't help turning her head to look at the big palace lady standing beside her. When did she say this, why didn't she know
The palace maid lowered her head, pretending to see Aunt Dou's eyes.
The queen mother waved her hand and said, "Go, the year was not good last year. Although there were few victims, there will definitely be victims of disasters coming to the capital. Is it useful to supply rice every day? By the way, tell them that they are not allowed to buy rice in the capital." The food is all going out of Gyeonggi, well, let’s go to Longzhou, or a little earlier, go directly to Jiannan Road.”
Aunt Dou asked, "Why is this? Although the price of food outside is cheaper, it also costs a lot of money on the road, so it's better to buy it in the capital."
The queen mother shook her head and said: "Zhou Man said that if I buy grain in the capital, the price of grain will definitely rise, and people who can afford to buy grain may not be able to buy grain. Isn't that right?" evil?"
The queen mother said: "This is not my intention, so let's go farther away, so that the grain is brought back by us. Although it is a donation, the grain in the capital has not decreased, but increased. If the price of grain at the grain store falls again, it will save a life again."
Aunt Dou: ...
How many days has she been ordered to take care of Princess Yunfeng? Why did the queen mother open and shut her mouth as soon as she came back? It was Zhou Man who said it
She couldn't help but glanced at the grand lady again.
The grand maid lowered her head, but she thought to herself: Who is to blame
Is it because you don't like talking to the Queen Mother
During this period of time, especially after the new year, for some reason, the queen mother especially likes to recall the past, but her memory is not very good, and she can't help but say one thing over and over again.
Although the princes and princesses will come to pay their respects, they will not stay for long, and they will get tired of hearing one thing over and over again.
Even if Prince Gong could listen to the empress dowager's nagging patiently, he couldn't help being distracted.
Not to mention the emperor and empress, they are so busy during the Chinese New Year that they have no time to listen to the empress dowager.
And those servants like them have no choice, but the Queen Mother doesn't like to talk to them.
When Mother Dou is around, the Queen Mother can talk, but Mother Dou can only respond, unlike Zhou Man, the Queen Mother said, she can have two problems.
Obviously the Queen Mother was talking about one thing, but after Zhou Man saw the doctor and got the needles, she was able to lead the Queen Mother from Tiannan to Haibei, and even the big palace maid followed and listened to a lot of stories among the nobles in Longxi in the early years. secret.
The three of Bai Shan, who were returning home in a carriage, passed the street where the Huguo Temple was located. Bai Shan looked through the window for a while, then closed the window with a snap, turned his head and said to Man Bao: "Some people always I feel that I can atone for my crime by making compensation.”
