There were too many people coming to pick them up, and they directly blocked the road in front of the gate of Huangzhuang. Bai Shan and the others came out a bit late, and when they arrived, they were blocked on the road. Finally, they walked slowly to the gate of Huangzhuang. It was blocked two hundred meters away and couldn't move forward.
Man Bao squeezed out with his medicine box, handed the medicine box to Daji, took Bai Shan's outstretched hand, jumped up gently, and got into the carriage.
Bai Shan pulled her into the car, took the medicine box that Daji handed over and put it in the car, and then said to her: "I know there are many people here today, but I didn't expect there to be so many."
Man Bao glanced out the car window, "It's understandable that they are worried."
Bai Shan also nodded, "Don't talk about them, even His Majesty is worried."
He said: "Some time ago, His Majesty called Xiao Yuanzheng to question every day. Lord Wei and Old Tang Lord were there. Every day Xiao Yuanzheng went in to report that everything was normal before they left the palace in peace."
Man Bao was curious, "Are you in front of the imperial court every day now?"
Bai Shan shook his head, "Three or five days are always on duty at the Imperial Academy, and they will only go if His Majesty summons them by name."
As for the Hanlin, they usually study and repair books. It is impossible for them newcomers to the Hanlin to repair books. They can only help the seniors, check the information, and write some small notes.
Most of the time, it is to copy some official documents, sort out the old books and put them in the files, and hand them over to the historians who need them to revise the history.
This is a daily task, and the non-daily task is to be called by the emperor into the palace to sort out the papers, draft edicts, or accompany the emperor to study, ask politics, play chess and so on.
That's right, Hanlin also has another duty, which is to accompany the emperor to study and play chess, just like Chongwenguan does to the prince.
Bai Shan is currently the most diligent person in the Hanlin Academy, and he has become acquainted with officials above the fourth rank in Beijing.
There is no way, these people often report to the emperor, and they are also the most frequent attendees of the small court meeting. Basically, Bai Shan sees them every day, so it's hard not to know them well.
It is also because of this that now the entire court knows that Bai Shan has a bright future, didn't you see how enthusiastic everyone was about Zhou Man when he came to pick him up today
Man Bao was very pleased, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Work hard, by the way, can you ask for a few days off?"
Bai Shan: "What are you doing?"
"You and Bai Er are here to vaccinate against vaccinia, so that it will be safer for us to travel far in the future."
Bai Shan: "That's not just a few days."
At least twelve or three days, right
Bai Shan thought for a while and said, "I have to ask the Shangguan."
Bai Shan twitched a bit at this point, blushed slightly and said: "But I'm taking a long vacation now, so it won't be easy to take it later."
Man Bao was curious, "What are you doing on long vacation?"
Bai Shan looked up at her and said, "My grandmother asked someone to calculate for three days. Your parents have already decided on the eighth day of October to get married, and they will definitely take a long vacation."
Man Bao was stunned for a moment, his heart beating violently, "This, so fast?"
Bai Shandao: "It's not too soon, the date should have been fixed long ago."
Man Bao's cheeks were a little red, and he forced himself to ask calmly: "Is this day really set?"
Bai Shan nodded affirmatively, and whispered to her: "You also have to tell Xiao Yuanzheng in advance, I will give you time in October."
Man Bao blushed and nodded, suddenly felt a little flustered...and strange, are they about to get married
Man Bao murmured, "Less than three months."
Bai Shan nodded.
Mrs. Liu has set three dates, one is on the 23rd of August, which is closer to now, but Lao Zhou chose the eighth day of October, which seems a bit reserved, although they have made preparations long ago, But you can't marry Man Bao in such a hurry, can you
And the reason Mrs. Liu didn't ask people to count the days until now was because she was waiting for a reply from Longzhou.
Bai Shan quietly said to Man Bao: "Some time ago, someone came from Longzhou."
He suppressed his joy and said, "They returned all the ancestral property that they took away from my family before. What are you talking about, I was too young to stand up for the family, so the family took it over to help run the business."
Bai Shan snorted coldly when he said this, "What are you talking about? Because my mother was young at the time, she didn't want to keep her daughter for a long time, so I was afraid that she would remarry with her ancestral property. Hmph, let's not say that my mother will not remarry. And my grandmother, is it their turn to call the shots for me?"
Man Bao asked: "Is it all back?"
Bai Shan nodded, "Some of them haven't come back yet, so they use other places to replace them. Anyway, it's not bad. Besides those things, they also sent some assets, saying that it was a wedding ceremony given to me by the family. I will take it next year." Ji Guan should also start a family and start a business, anyway, it means rebuilding the old good."
He said: "Grandmother used the money they sent, added some more, and bought a second courtyard in Changqing Lane, which is only slightly smaller than the one where Brother Datang lives now."
The yard that Bai Dalang lives in now is the place that Manbao and the others rented before. The yard he lives in is not bad, but there is a small garden on the side at the back. The yard Mrs. Liu bought this time is that the garden is a little smaller, but that The courtyard faces south, the sunshine is particularly good, and the room inside is also spacious. Mrs. Liu fell in love with it just by looking at it.
Moreover, the house in the capital is not worried about selling, but only about buying. She was looking for this house last year, and she has been waiting in line. Only when the people in front of her don't want it can she ask her, and then she made a decision.
It's just that the payment has not been settled all the time, in order to wait for the money from Longzhou.
Bai Shandao: "Do you want to take a look? Grandma said that our marriage will be held there, and we will move back to Zhou's house when Sanchao returns."
Man Bao's eyes brightened, and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, just the two of us?"
"No," Bai Shan was also a little depressed, "Bai Er and Yin or they went there early in the morning, the house is not far from the big brother's, so they are all over there."
Man Bao was also a little depressed.
Instead of going home, they went directly to Evergreen Lane.
There are three alleys in the front and back of Changqing Lane, and there are small alleys connecting the alleys. The yard chosen by Grandma Liu is at the entrance of the alley, and it is in the back row of Bai Dalang's yard. Behind it is a street, so there are two front and back doors. The door, the back door is not small, you can enter the garden, maybe for convenience, there is a porter at the back door, just beside the garden, you can live in people, you can also park carriages and so on.
Not to mention, although the courtyard is small, it has all the internal organs. She thinks it would be nice if only the two of them lived together.
Man Bao likes it very much.
Bai Shan had already visited it once, and he couldn't help but be delighted when he saw it again, and he also felt that this place was very good for getting a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.
He took Man Bao's hand and went in through the back door, pointed to the flowerbed in the garden and said, "Don't you always get some exotic flowers and plants? The big garden over the Zhou residence is not easy to grow, you It can be planted here."
