After all, Feng Zongping got up and left, not with them anymore.
Zhao Liulang also glanced at Lu Yue and the others, got up and left.
The few people left looked at each other, and one of them looked at Lu Yue, "Are we being rejected?"
Lu Yue said irritably, "You ask me, who am I to ask?"
Before the Jinshi examination, the things they learned were different, and the crown prince was getting older. Although he still had to come to the Chongwen Hall to attend classes every now and then, many of the classes they were observing could not understand.
Sometimes the lecturers simply called the prince to another room to teach alone, and they still learned the scriptures.
I didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after the Jinshi examination last year, Kong Jijiu began to assign some work to correct books for them.
This kind of work is boring. Reading books is tiring enough, and they have to correct books. They almost get a headache when they see books.
During the four months when Bai Shan and the others went to Xiazhou, they corrected the books for four months, and now they feel sick when they read the books, but Bai Shan and the others seem to be enjoying the job when they come back to take over the job.
This comparison makes them appear to be inferior.
Although they are not very good.
Sitting on the observation deck, Man Bao raised his hand to pour tea for everyone, and asked Bai Shan, "Have you corrected your books today?"
Bai Shan nodded, "Almost, I copied the book you wanted last time, and I'll give it to you later."
Bai Erlang talked to Mingda, "I heard that there is a kind of ice chrysanthemum in the Western Regions. It is the best to make tea with. I will pick it and ask someone to bring it back to you."
Changyu was bored and said: "I will send Bingju to those who are far away. I heard that the gems in the Western Regions are very beautiful."
Bai Erlang said: "I will buy it too."
Man Bao also became interested, and asked Chang Yu, "Shall we bring some for you?"
Changyu cheered up and became happy, "I don't know what color it is."
"What color do you like?" She said: "I heard from my fourth brother that the gems brought by the merchants from the Western Regions are very valuable, and they will keep them for sale. It is not very good to sell first. Yes, the best ones are often kept, and you don’t know who you will sell them to in the end.”
Chang Yu said: "I like red ones, the brighter the color, the better it looks, you can help me pay attention later, if there is any, just buy it and bring it back to me."
Man Bao nodded, "If I have enough money, I'll buy it for you."
When Changyu heard this, he felt a little unconfident about her ability, "When are you leaving, I'll send you some money and bring some more."
Don't be sad when you see something good but don't have the money to buy it.
Ming Da said: "Don't bring too much, I heard from my father and the others that you can't reveal your wealth when you go out."
Changyu: "It's enough to bring more bodyguards, who dares to infringe me under the name of Da Jin?"
Bai Shan thought to himself, it's impossible to bring more people, they don't mind having more people, but business trips require money, and there are regulations, and it is impossible for the Ministry of Officials and the Honglu Temple of the Imperial Hospital to let them mess around.
Sure enough, as soon as the matter of envoys to the Western Regions was brought up, the various ministries determined the number of people for them.
This time it was to find a way to prevent smallpox, so Zhou Man was the head of the mission, and Honglu Temple was still subordinate.
So the emperor directly promoted her to be the editor of the fifth rank, leading the envoy, Zhuang Xun, a traveler from Honglu Temple, as the deputy envoy, and Honglu Temple selected two people to go with them.
The envoy can bring two followers, and the deputy envoy and below are all one follower. As for the extra, the imperial court does not intervene, but is not responsible for their board and lodging.
Bai Shan Bai Erlang and others are multi-banded.
The emperor said: "After you go back, think about what else needs to be added, and just write to the Ministry of Education."
Man Bao couldn't understand this for a while, and after taking the order to withdraw, he went to Xiao Yuanzheng, "What does your majesty mean? Can I still ask for people and things?"
Otherwise why ask what else to add
In fact, she still has a lot to add.
Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at her and said: "Your Majesty didn't say this for you, so you can just put it in your left ear and out of your right ear, you don't have to take it to heart."
Man Bao was even more puzzled, "It's not about me, but who is it about? I'm an envoy, so this matter is most relevant to me, right?"
Xiao Yuan felt that she was very noisy, so he quickened his pace, "You will know later, why are you asking so many questions, have you finished your work? You are going to the Western Regions, and those who should teach Liu Sanniang should teach her Yes, she will take over from you to teach the students in the future, and the book you are working on, didn't you say that there are still two chapters that have not been finished? Hurry up, fix it before you go out, it is waiting to be used in school. "
Man Bao saw that Xiao Yuan was walking away while talking, and she had to trot to catch up, so he stopped involuntarily.
She was lucky, she couldn't help humming twice, and turned to look for Mr. Zhuang.
Hmph, if you don't tell her, won't she ask Mr. Zhuang
After listening to Mr. Zhuang, he thought for a while and asked, "Has anyone approached you and expressed their desire to go to the Western Regions together?"
Man Bao shook his head, "No, we are looking for smallpox outside, who would want to go with us?"
Mr. Zhuang laughed and said, "Let's put it aside for now. If someone is interested, he will come to him."
Man Bao was at a loss, but after Mr. Zhuang said so, she could only listen.
Mr. Zhuang put the book aside and asked, "Are you going to live in the palace again?"
"That's right," Man Bao said, "The experiment is over, Xiaoyuan is asking me to hand over the work I am doing to Sanniang as soon as possible, so I've been very busy recently, it's much more convenient to live in the palace."
Mr. Zhuang didn't keep her any longer and let her go.
Man Bao just went out when a guard stepped forward to stop her, "Master Zhou, our lord would like to see you."
Man Bao looked at him curiously, "Who are you adults?"
Guard: "...Master Zhou, I am the imperial army."
"Oh, it's Lord Yin." Man Bao looked around, "Let's go, where is Lord Yin meeting me?"
Seeing that she accepted it so well, the guard could only turn around and lead the way, "It's not easy for us adults to come to the East Palace, so we wait in the West Inner Court, please."
Man Bao went with him to Xi Nei Yuan.
Yin Li was shooting arrows in the martial arts arena. When he saw Zhou Manlai, he shot the arrow in his hand, then smiled and waved to her, "Master Zhou, come and try too?"
Man Bao stepped forward, looked at the bow in his hand, then at his arm, and shook his head, "I can't draw such a heavy bow."
Yin Li smiled, handed the bow in his hand to the guard, and asked someone to get a small bow, "This one is only five buckets, try it."
Man Bao took it in his hand, slowly pulled it away and tried it.
Seeing that she was able to pull away completely, Yin Li's eyes flashed with admiration, so he instructed her how to nock and aim the arrow.
Man Bao has also learned the six arts of a gentleman. When they were in the village, they played with slingshots. They only learned bows and arrows when they entered Yizhou City.
But she doesn't learn much, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang have to learn every day, she just knows it, not proficient.
Man Bao let go of the arrow, and the arrow flew out. Because Yin Li helped her correct it, it hit the red heart.
