Man Bao asked softly, "Madam Han is not angry with you?"
Mrs. Tang glanced at her and said, "Why are you angry with me? This little thing between men won't affect our relationship for the time being. Let's make it more serious."
After recollecting it for a while, Man Bao said affirmatively: "The money that was fined is not Mrs. Han's?"
Mrs. Tang laughed loudly, gave her a wink and said cheerfully, "You are the only one who is clever."
Man Bao chuckled, and dragged Zhou Liru to run to see if he could see Miss Fenghua.
The two of them quietly approached the lotus pond, looking over there on their tiptoes, just as a boat was slowly approaching the shore, the two aunts and nephews watched excitedly.
Two maids got off the boat and carried out a thick plank to put it on the boat and the table, and then several little girls in dance clothes ran down from the boat and jumped ashore happily.
Fenghua followed them and jumped up with her skirt in her hands, the flower tinsel on her forehead glistened under the sunlight, the eyes of both aunt and nephew lit up, and they were about to go there.
In the end, someone was faster than them, and a few people turned around on the path behind a tree. The leader waved a fan and looked at Fenghua with a smile, "Miss Fenghua, come and have a drink with us."
Fenghua's smile didn't change much, and he bowed his knees with a smile and said: "I shouldn't refuse your invitation, but I still have to go to the master's house to take orders. Why don't you go back first, and wait for us to find some free time?" How about serving?"
"Who is the manager of the Jiaofang Division who brought you here today? Let him come over, sir, I really ordered you to accompany me all the way today, what's wrong?"
Zhou Liru frowned and couldn't help but look at his sister-in-law.
Man Bao also frowned, and after glancing at those people, he found that some of them looked familiar and some of them didn't.
The most familiar one is of course the leader, Mr. Han, who has just been talked about by them for a long time.
Man Bao glanced at the peony bushes at his feet. There was no particularly beautiful flower color, but he also picked out a red petaled one, and then he went forward with the flower, "Miss Fenghua."
A group of young girls from the Jiaofang Division turned pale and were at a loss when Master Han said that, they turned their heads when they heard the voice.
Man Bao walked over with a smile, handed the flower in his hand to Feng Hua, and said with a smile: "There are no good peonies here, so I can only find one to borrow flowers to present to Buddha. How about I give you a hairpin?"
Miss Fenghua was surprised, she didn't know Zhou Man, but she glanced at Master Han and saw that they didn't speak, and someone even talked about Master Han wanting to leave, so she guessed that this person should have a high status, At least these gentlemen don't seem to dare to offend her.
So he saluted with a smile and thanked him humbly.
Seeing her bowing her head slightly, Man Bao put the flower on her hairpin, took a step back and admired it, then nodded and praised: "Sure enough, this flower is not as good as you, and there are more people than Huajiao. "
Feng Hua lowered his head and smiled, looking at Lord Han and the others with some embarrassment.
Man Bao followed her gaze and smiled at them, "Mr. Han Dalang, why don't you drink in front? Do you miss Mrs. Han and the others? Do you want me to take you to find them?"
One of them called Mr. Han and said: "Da Han, let's go, what's the fun with her?"
Lord Han frowned, "Master Zhou, how many official prostitutes do you want to stand out for?"
"What should I do for them?" Man Bao said confidently: "You are only allowed to ask them to drink, and I am not allowed to ask them to talk with me?"
Master Han choked, "You little lady, what are you doing with a group of ladies?"
Man Bao said: "Let's talk, you think I am you, you have to find the opposite sex, anyway, they are invited by the Liu family to entertain guests, and I am also a guest, whoever snatches them depends on their ability."
Mrs. Han was choked so badly that he still wanted to talk, but Zhou Man's eyes lit up suddenly, and he waved his hands behind them, calling, "Miss Liu, we are here."
Miss Liu, who was passing by with her servants, ran over upon hearing the words, glanced curiously at Mrs. Han and they asked Zhou Man, "Miss Zhou, what are you doing here? My grandmother just mentioned you to the guests. I was about to introduce you to some old ladies, but when I turned around, I couldn't find you."
Man Bao pointed at Feng Hua and said, "I want to play games, and I was looking for someone. I happened to fall in love with them, and Mr. Han Dalang also fell in love with them."
Miss Liu showed the host's smile when she heard the words, and was about to smile to comfort her. By the way, Mr. Han Dalang waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, okay, I don't have to ask them to accompany the wine, let's go ,let's go."
Seeing them leave, Man Bao smiled and said to Miss Liu, "Thank you very much."
She turned her head and said to Fenghua and the others: "Go ahead."
Feng Hua took a deep look at Zhou Man, curtseyed and led the people back.
Miss Liu watched them go away, clicked her tongue, and said to her: "You are really sympathetic."
Man Bao said: "That's enough for her to be enough for me to feel sorry for. Is there any old lady who wants to see me? Don't I know her?"
"You definitely don't know him. They came from Jinyang," Mrs. Liu led her and explained, "There are old ladies from every family, and I don't know if they are here to congratulate my cousin or to see you. of."
"I have something to see. I must have come to congratulate your cousin."
"That's not necessarily the case, even if you don't see a doctor, it can be a surprise," Miss Liu said, "You don't know, you have a great reputation now, the first female imperial physician in this dynasty, the first female official who can go to court , Recently, women’s schools in Beijing are popular, and many families of petty officials send their girls to study, thinking that if they can be like you, they will be able to work as editors in some restaurants.”
Man Bao: "... I am just compiling medical books."
"So there are more girls who want to study medicine recently."
Even Zhou Liru nodded, and whispered to Man Bao: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, I went back to the imperial medical office to study this year, and saw a lot of new classmates, all of whom were new students last year, a lot of girls."
Only then did Miss Liu discover Zhou Liru, she turned her head to look over and asked, "Are you going to be an imperial physician in the future?"
Zhou Liru nodded, "This is my ideal. Not only do I want to be an imperial physician, but I also want to write medical books like my sister-in-law in the future. Try to see if I can become an editor."
She said: "It is the dream of all doctors to be able to compile medical books."
"Good ambition," a group of old ladies came out from behind the stone screen, and said with a smile, "It seems that we are too old-fashioned for a young girl to have such ambition. The young lady is also a child of the Zhou family?"
Man Bao led Zhou Liru to salute everyone, and looked at Mrs. Shang Shu curiously, "Where is the old lady going?"
Mrs. Shangshu smiled and said: "I was going to lead them to listen to the book, but by chance, you came here, let's go, let's go to listen to the book together."
Where did this group of people go to listen to the book? They were clearly using the name of listening to the book to say something else and entertain other things.
As soon as he sat down, someone asked Zhou Man, "Is this the doctor Zhou? You look so young, how old are you this year, are you engaged?"
