The queen mother got the portrait of Lao Tzu that she wanted so much, and the Zhang family not only got the gift from the queen, but also got a very valuable copybook. Everyone was very happy.
What's even more gratifying is that Mrs. Liu's mid-to-high-end birthday gift has instantly become much more precious.
Two months had passed since the birthday ceremony, but she not only received a letter of greeting from the Zhang family in Longzhou, but also received a generous gift.
Even Lao La, who is as calm as her, couldn't help laughing out loud at this moment, and then said: "This is unintentional insertion."
Mrs. Zheng glanced at the gift list in Mrs. Liu's hand, and continued to lower her head to make her clothes, "Mother, the in-laws said that Zhou Zhoulang and the others are coming back. I think that Shanbao and the others will also leave the palace in two days. How about Ask someone to buy some fish and come back to make fish balls, he was talking about it before he entered the palace last time, saying that Aunt Rong's fish balls are delicious."
Mrs. Liu nodded slightly, "Go buy it, buy more, and send some to your in-laws when you get ready."
Man Bao in the palace still got the news from Mr. Zhuang that Zhou Zhoulang and the others were coming back. Xiu Mu got up and washed before dawn that day and was ready to leave the palace.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were still a little dazed when they were woken up, not to mention the other students who were sleeping soundly in the next room. Zhao Liulang couldn't help kicking the quilt away when he heard the sound and shouted: "Zhou Man —”
He lay on the bed and kicked the bed board twice, shouting: "Can you be quiet, can't Xiu Mu let us have a good night's sleep?"
Man Bao raised his voice and said, "It's three poles in the sun!"
But if you don't go to school, does it matter if it's three poles in the sun
Man Bao probably also knew this, his voice was a little softer, and he only urged Bai Shan and Bai Erlang: "Hurry up, you can go home and sleep if you want to sleep."
Bai Shan got up silently, and even gave Bai Er a hand.
Yin or next door also got up in a daze. He opened the window and saw Man Bao standing in the yard sighing, looking worried about the country and the people.
Man Bao turned his head and saw him and raised his hand to greet him, "Yin You are awake too, my fourth brother is back, he must have brought a lot of good things back, do you want to come to my house to play?"
Yin or shook his head after thinking about it, "I'm afraid it won't work today, my sisters are all coming back today."
Thinking of his six older sisters, Man Bao immediately said: "Okay, then you can play at home and call you when you are free."
Because of Zhou Man, when the three of them left the palace with their things, most of the people in the Chongwen Museum were still asleep, and there was no one at the gate of the palace.
The guards checked their things lonely and let them go. They looked behind them for a while but didn't see a fourth student coming, so they couldn't help but turned around and looked at the three seriously, "Master Zhou, did you have breakfast?"
Man Bao waved his hands grandly and said, "It's the same when you go home and eat."
As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Daji and the others parked the car aside.
The three immediately put their things on the cart, and another guard went to hand over to the officials at the palace gate, and led the horses of the three out.
Man Bao excitedly asked Daji: "How many things did my fourth brother bring back this time?"
Daji said: "Master Zhou hasn't come home yet."
Man Bao was taken aback, "Didn't you send a letter two days earlier saying that it was coming? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Daji said: "I sent a letter back yesterday, saying that I have arrived in Pu Village, but I just brought a lot of things, so I have to stay at Zhuangzi overnight. Some things are not easy to bring back to Beijing, so I have to stay in Pu Village."
Daji paused and said: "Because I heard that I brought a lot of things, Master Zhou and the others went out to Pu Village early this morning, saying that they were counting things together."
Man Bao immediately asked, "My sister-in-law has gone too?"
Daji responded with a smile, "Sister-in-law is at home on Saturday at your house, and everyone else has gone early in the morning."
The stomachs of the three of them growled at the same time.
When Daji heard this, he couldn't help but glanced at their stomachs, and said with a smile: "Miss Man, young master, let's get in the car. The old lady made the kitchen cook a lot of delicious food in the past two days."
The three of them lost the strength to ride a horse in an instant, climbed into the carriage and sat back home.
When Mrs. Liu heard that they left the palace without breakfast, she was very angry and funny, and then asked people to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for them.
"I made fish balls at home, and I asked Aunt Rong to serve a bowl for each of you to eat."
Man Bao nodded, and then said: "Grandma Liu, we will go out after we are full."
Mrs. Liu asked: "Are you going to Pu Village?"
Man Bao nodded, "I want to see it."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also want to go.
Mrs. Liu nodded and asked them to have breakfast, then turned around and asked Daji to go down to make arrangements and escort them there later.
The fish balls made by Aunt Rong were smooth and tender. Seeing that Man Bao was eating happily, Bai Shan put a few of them into her bowl while Grandma wasn't paying attention.
Mrs. Liu turned around and saw that she just pretended not to know, but she didn't allow them when they wanted to add more after eating a bowl, and advised: "It's summer and autumn, eat less, or you will feel itchy again when you turn around."
She said: "I just ate something and it's not good to ride the horse right away. First go to greet your husband, and then go out after seeing the adults."
Only then did Bai Erlang remember that his parents were there, so he asked, "Grandmother, is my father still in the capital?"
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but pat him, and said angrily and cheerfully: "If your father hears this, be careful to beat you up."
The three of them ran away with a smile on their face. First they went to greet Mr. Zhuang, and then went to see Master Bai and Mrs. Bai.
Master Bai came to Beijing this time because he received a letter from Mrs. Liu. Now that Bai Erlang's marriage is settled, they plan to search in the capital to see if they can buy some property for the two children.
Master Bai's idea is very simple, "In the future, if Dalang becomes an official in the capital, there will be a farm nearby, and there will be a place to grow vegetables and fruits if he wants to eat, let alone Erlang. Gotta have some property of my own."
So recently he is planning to buy land.
However, the autumn harvest is just starting now, and few people will sell land at this time. If he wants to buy it, he may have to wait a few months until winter comes.
Well, the fields in the capital are always in short supply, and it may not be possible to grab them in winter. Didn’t Man Bao discuss with Princess Mingda about trading her dowry privately
It's just that although Mr. Bai is here, he has little influence on his two sons, especially Bai Erlang. Bai is in the palace for twenty days and seven or eight days. It is even more difficult for father and son to see each other.
So that Bai Erlang always forgets that his father is here.
Bai Erlang went to pay his respects to his parents, and Master Bai's heart moved accordingly, "I've always heard Man Bao's father say that his family's Zhuangzi is very good, but I've never seen it before, it doesn't mean that you and Shanbao also invested money Is it? How about I go and see it too?"
