Bai Erlang, who had been waiting in the cafeteria for a long time without seeing anyone, ran to the observation building to take a look, but no one saw him, but he saw the book that Bai Shan left behind.
There are only two situations in this world that can make Bai Shan drop the book, one is an accident beyond his control, and the other is full of treasures.
He didn't think there would be any accident beyond his control in the palace and they didn't hear anything, so he turned and ran to Manbao's yard to find someone.
As soon as they entered the yard, they saw two people sitting in front of the window talking, and they didn't know what they said, they both smiled and narrowed their eyes.
Before he ran up, he shouted to the two of them through the window, "What are you doing, hurry up and have dinner, the food is cold."
Bai Shan got up, "Let's go, eat first, and I'll check the classics in the Chongwen Museum later. If I can, I'll go to the Honglu Temple. They know more about the affairs of the Western Regions. If I can Just borrow some papers from there."
Then Honglu Temple was in charge of the diplomatic relations ceremony, and the documents inside, especially some foreign intelligence work, were classified, and it was probably difficult for Bai Shan to borrow them.
Bai Erlang on the side was confused, "What do you want to investigate about the Western Regions?"
He thought of something, his eyes widened, "Are you going to the Western Regions?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said: "Don't yell, that's just what we planned, and it will take another year or two to make it happen, so don't talk about it."
Bai Erlang: "Then you are no longer an examiner?"
Bai Shandao: "The examiner's business is not in a hurry, but before I leave, I want to try the Jinshi examination."
Bai Erlang couldn't help but muttered: "After taking the Jinshi examination, but not going to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials to take the examination, it is simply occupying the pit for nothing."
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "You can take one."
Just as Bai Erlang was about to say that he didn't want to waste his time, Man Bao nodded and said, "You can give it a try, won't there be a Jinshi exam next year? I told my husband, you all have to give it a try."
Shirajiro: ...
Bai Shan was also a little startled, "The exam next year?"
Man Bao said: "There is still one year and two months to go. If you don't take the exam next year, do you have to wait until the next year? Then it will be two years and two months, and next year will definitely be admitted to the Jinshi Department. Is there any Not sure yet."
The Jinshi examination is not as fixed as the Mingjing and other subjects. It is held every year. Basically, only the officials think that the officials in the court are old, or because of some well-known reasons, there are a lot of missing middle- and upper-level officials. Only when the corresponding talents need to be supplemented within a few years, or even more than ten years, will they be admitted to the Shi Ke.
Otherwise, it is usually opened once every two years.
Sometimes the imperial court will postpone or directly cancel it under the pretext of insufficient funds.
Fortunately, the Jinshi department has not been willful to be canceled at any time in the past, but there may be another accident, so Man Bao thinks that this kind of matter should be done sooner rather than later. Anyway, everyone is just going to accumulate experience and be admitted to the final exam. Well, it's okay if you don't pass the exam.
Now not only Bai Erlang, but even Bai Shan felt his scalp tingle, regretting talking too much.
When the three of them returned to the cafeteria, they had already adjusted their expressions, but apart from Man Bao, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had a heavy aura floating on them.
Yin or looked curiously, "What happened?"
He thought it would be Zhou Man who was listless, but now that she is in good spirits, it is Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, why are their branches drooping like a tree short of water
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang shook their heads together, expressing that nothing happened.
Man Bao has already opened his food box, "Hurry up and eat, after you finish eating, go to read, I have to go on duty."
Yin or nodded. Feng Zongping, who was sitting at the next table, was very itchy. He turned his head and asked her, "Are you always on duty now? Aren't you only on duty during holidays?"
Man Bao replied vaguely: "I have grown up too, and I should be on duty."
Not to mention that Feng Zongping didn't believe it, even Zhao Liulang didn't believe it. The two of them still wanted to find out something. Bai Shan had already looked up at them and said, "Do you have any idea about the homework that Kong Jijiu set up? It's better to go to dinner after a while." Check out books in the library?"
Feng Zongping and Zhao Liulang froze.
Yin You smiled slightly, and then said: "I rummaged around in the afternoon, but I found a book with annotations on it, but unfortunately it was not detailed enough, I want to look for it again, if I can find some adults from the mansion newspaper Some of our related articles would be nice.”
Feng Zongping: "You still have to report to the mansion? That would take a lot of time."
Bai Shandao: "I will only need the Confucius Jijiu at the end of the last ten days."
But the topic was so difficult, how could he understand it? Zhao Liulang poked at the rice in front of him silently, not interested in Zhou Man's affairs anymore.
Feng Zongping did the same. On the heads of the two of them, it should be said that a big stone seemed to fall down on the heads of all those who listened with pricked ears, directly crushing them out of breath.
While eating, Man Bao thought to himself, before the queen gets better, she should eat in the imperial hospital or the harem...
After dinner, the two parties parted ways. Man Bao expressed that he rarely went back to Chongwen Museum recently, and even had to use meals in the harem and imperial hospital.
Bai Shan expressed his understanding and asked, "We helped you eat your meal?"
Man Bao: "...don't you tell the cafeteria to stop?"
Bai Shandao: "No, the dining room in the Chongwen Hall is separate from the imperial dining room in the Taiji Hall. Your share won't be transferred there. It's a waste to keep it anyway. Let's eat it for you."
Bai Erlang, who was still downcast, immediately cheered up, nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, your food is better than ours, just enough to nourish our bodies."
Man Bao had no objection, and waved his hand in agreement.
She went back to Tai Hospital first, and it happened that Xiao Yuanzheng and the others were having dinner, and when they saw her coming back, they pointed to her portion.
Man Bao refused, and planned to keep it for supper, and then put it on the stove to heat it up.
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "The empress just fell ill once today, but her temper flared up, causing her lungs to be hot and dry, and now she has started to cough. I think it will be very difficult in the first half of the night tonight. You and Imperial Physician Liu will be on duty in the first half of the night, or the second half of the night. ?”
Man Bao glanced at the blue and black under Xiao Yuanzheng's eyes, and asked, "Then what about the Queen Mother?"
"There are Imperial Physicians Lu and the others here," Xiao Yuanzheng said calmly, "I have already arranged for them to go there, and Imperial Physician Zheng is also looking at Prince Gong, and I will be with Imperial Physician Tan."
The Empress Dowager is at the end of her battles and cannot be saved, they are just doing their best to obey the destiny, and the royal family has already made preparations for her death;
Prince Gong's side couldn't hurt his life, so Xiao Yuanzheng only sent an imperial doctor to go there. The four of them are directly in charge of the empress, and the rest of them are on duty at the imperial hospital in order to avoid the orders of other concubines or princes and grandchildren in the palace, and occasionally go out to see a doctor for the relatives of the emperor.
At this moment, Xiao Yuanzheng felt that there were too few people in their hospital. He thought of something, looked at Zhou Man and Imperial Physician Zheng, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Our classes at the Imperial Medical Office are suspended, and students are allowed to study on their own. The palace is currently short of manpower. Aren't there a few students in the office who have already left?" Can you sit down and prescribe? Let them enter the palace to fight."
