Man Bao and the others couldn't stay longer in Xiazhou, so after going up the mountain to see their longevity card, they were ready to return to Beijing with joy.
At this time, with the help of Xiang Mingxue, Da Yu had already met seven or eight people in Xiazhou City, but he couldn't find the wife he was looking for.
He could only collect the money wearily, and followed the crowd to see Zhou Man off, "I heard that the capital is very big, are there better sellers there?"
Man Bao also learned about Da Yu's mate selection criteria from Zhou Lijun. Seeing him looking sadly in the direction of the capital, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Da Yu, if you want to marry someone who looks like a fairy, then you You have to become a god-like person first, so that you can match, and you will have a chance to meet such a person."
Da Yu: "... Is that a fairy-like figure? Worse than you, right?"
Man Bao shook his head, and said with a serious face: "No, I am much better than me. Apart from being literate and medical, I am also smart and beautiful, and I can't do anything else."
After a heavy rain pause, he struggled: "Then should I relax the conditions?"
The brothers standing behind him immediately said to Zhou Man: "Master Zhou, how can you remind him? He should be single."
"That's right, it's the girl that he will end up harming in the end by marrying a wife like this. If the girl he marries is not what he likes, wouldn't that be a bitter couple?"
"That's right, that's right, he should continue to look for such a fairy-like character."
Da Yu waved at them, "Go, go, why are you everywhere?"
Man Bao said: "If you want, you can follow us to the capital."
Da Yu shook his head and said, "Forget it, if the elder brother finds out that I went to the capital without permission, he will kill me."
Yang Heshu smiled, and said to him: "Xiazhou has a large population, especially after April every year, there are many merchants who come to Xiazhou, and there are always businessmen with their wives. If Brother Yu doesn't mind, you can go to Xiazhou City more often. A few times, maybe you can meet someone you are destined for."
Man Bao and Bai Shan together recommended Xiazhou for Yang Heshu, "Yes, Xiazhou has a large population, so finding a wife depends on how you feel about it. How many more people do you meet, what if you get it right?"
Da Yu looked at them suspiciously.
Man Bao was a little dissatisfied and said: "Doubt us? You don't even look at it, I'm already engaged, don't you have more experience than you?"
Bai Shan turned his head and glanced at her, wanting to tell her that even if you are engaged, you are no more experienced than others.
Who knew that Da Yu would become thoughtful, and nodded slightly, "It makes sense."
Bai Shan hurriedly pulled Man Bao to say goodbye to everyone.
Yang Heshu and Cui Shi nodded and smiled at them: "Take care all the way, we have prepared a lot of vegetables and bacon and frozen meat for you. According to the itinerary, you should be on the road to celebrate the New Year. It will be difficult to find inns and restaurants. Prepare more food on the road."
He also warned: "Don't stay on the road for too long, if you don't go back after the seventh day, it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain."
Man Bao and Bai Shan agreed together, and then set off.
Their caravan teamed up with Xiang Mingxue's caravan, and they didn't start to separate until Yongzhou.
Man Bao and the others hurriedly continued to the capital, while Zhou Lijun and the others decided to stay in the other courtyard in Yongzhou for one day, and then enter the capital the next day.
So Man Bao and the others came to Beijing with light vehicles, and they were really light vehicles. There were only three luggage cars in total, which directly reduced nine luggage cars.
The ox cart carrying the wounded soldiers also started to run, but the ox didn't have enough stamina when it got up, so it didn't run very fast.
Fortunately, Yongzhou is not very far from the capital, and Man Bao and the others finally entered the capital at Shenshi.
As soon as he entered the city, Manbao was at a loss, not knowing where to go, or Mr. Zhuang said: "Go to the post station first, then go to the Honglu Temple next door to the post station to hand in the seal, then send someone into the palace to deliver the message, and finally go back to each other. Everyone wait for news."
Mr. Zhuang said: "Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the yamen hasn't opened the seal yet, so His Majesty may not announce it."
Hearing this, everyone felt relieved and went to the post station immediately. Of course, they don't need to live in the post station. It is the wounded soldiers on the ox cart who need to live. Man Bao doesn't want them to pay for it. Of course, she doesn't pay for it herself. , directly said to Yicheng: "This is a patient who has been inoculated with cowpox. His Majesty may summon him later, so don't neglect him."
Yi Cheng glanced at the soldiers who were either old or missing arms and legs, and was speechless for a while, "The patient Mr. Zhou selected... is really unique."
Man Bao smiled and said: "Where is it, well, I will hand them over to you, treat them well."
He also said to these retired veterans: "I live in Zhou's house in Chongyuanfang. If you need to find me, you can find out after a little inquiry. This is the door post."
The veterans took it immediately, and Yi Cheng who was on the side saw that he really didn't dare to neglect these people, and led them to the room to rest with a smile.
Mr. Zhuang led Manbao to Honglu Temple to hand in the seal.
There was an official on duty at Honglu Temple. Seeing Zhou Man coming back at this time, he was shocked, and then he was overjoyed, "Oh, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhuang, you are finally back."
I heard about them 20 days ago, but they haven't come back yet. God knows how worried they are. I'm afraid that they will encounter bandits on the road, and the boat will capsize in the gutter. It didn't happen when they marched west, but in There was an accident when Shengli returned to Beijing.
However, although there are officials on duty in Honglu Temple, but the seal is not issued at this time, he cannot issue a cut book to Zhou Man, but he still accepts their seal, and gives them a receipt for the seal with a smile, and then He asked with a smile, "Master Zhou, is this journey smooth?"
Man Bao nodded with a smile and said: "Very well, the people who have been inoculated with cowpox are now living in a post station not far away. When they turn back, the Tai Hospital will come over to see the doctor and confirm the situation. Your Majesty may also summon him."
The officials of Honglu Temple were delighted to hear this, and quickly asked: "Have you sent someone to inform the palace?"
If he didn't go, he wouldn't mind letting the people from Honglu Temple do some errands.
Hearing that Nie Canjun had sent soldiers over there, he was disappointed for a moment, then smiled and said: "Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the yamen has not yet opened the seal, just report to the palace, your majesty may call again in two days My lords, my lords are running all the way, why don't you go home to pack up and rest, and wait for the notice from the palace."
Man Bao agreed, and after taking the paperwork, he led the people home.
Nie Canjun wanted to take his men back to the barracks, so they shared their luggage on the street.
One and a half of the three carts of luggage were soldiers' luggage and... ashes that could be burnt. Everyone unloaded a few boxes from the other car. We have something."
Li Guanshi searched for the brochure and was sure that it was indeed, so he opened the box and asked them to take it.
