When all of them left, Man Bao and Imperial Physician Lu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and immediately turned back to stare at the people to dispose of all the garbage inside. After confirming that there was no problem, they took the medical case back to the Imperial Hospital to deal with. Successfully got a three-day vacation.
That's right, Xiao Yuanzheng was so stingy, he gave them three days off at most, including today, they had to come back to work on the fourth day of junior high school.
Man Bao insisted that they only released it for two and a half days, how could three days be enough
Man Bao went out of the palace muttering, parted ways with Imperial Physician Lu at the gate of the palace, and planned to go back to sleep badly.
When I got home, there was no one at home.
Only the left-behind Xibing ran over and said, "My lord, the master and wife have all gone to Pu Village."
Man Bao was curious, "Why did they go to Pu Village?" They all went.
Xibing said: "Second aunt built a workshop in Liyang, not very far from Pu Village, so everyone went to watch the fun, by the way, the family's eldest aunt and eldest son-in-law accompanied the family's second master and second wife I came to Beijing with my third master and third wife..."
Man Bao was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to understand, "Big girl? No, Li Xin?"
Xibing laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, she said she was here to take the Jinshi examination this year, and also said that if she failed the examination this year, she would take the examination in the spring next year, and the slaves didn't understand. "
Man Bao closed his mouth, nodded and said, "Hurry up and boil hot water for me, I'm going to take a bath."
The western cakes were ordered, and Manbao carried the medicine box back to the house, and then went to the kitchen to fetch hot water.
After washing her hair and taking a bath, Manbao sat on the couch and dozed off. Xibing wiped her hair bit by bit. When she woke up, it was already dark. She was startled and jumped up immediately. When she got up to see a patient, she jumped off the soft couch and realized that she had already left the palace.
Man Bao let out a breath, took a look at the dark sky outside, then sat down on the soft couch in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps came from outside the door, she tilted her head slightly, and heard Bai Shan asking, "Are you still awake?"
Xibing's confused voice sounded, "No."
Man Bao: ... She's sure that Xibing must have fallen asleep just now.
Man Bao put the small quilt on one side, dragged her shoes and walked towards the door. She opened the door, and the people outside immediately looked up.
Under the moonlight, Bai Shan smiled when he saw Zhou Man, raised the lantern in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Are you awake, are you hungry?"
Man Bao nodded repeatedly, lowered his head and raised his feet to put on his shoes, and asked, "Why aren't the lights on in the yard?"
Xibing immediately went back to the house and took out Manbao's coat and put it on for her, and Manbao put it on.
Bai Shan smiled, and Xibing said: "Master doesn't give me some, saying it's too expensive, and anyone who goes out will carry the lantern by himself, so even Mrs. Liu didn't light the lamp.
Bai Shan also said: "Grandmother said this saves a lot, which is pretty good."
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the days are getting shorter and shorter. In the past, before it was completely dark, everyone almost went back to their houses to sleep, so it was okay not to light the lights in the yard.
But after the days are short, things are usually not finished after dark, so many people will light lamps.
Man Bao lived in the palace during this period, and it was like day and night upside down. The lights in the two palaces sealed by Daming Palace had never been extinguished at night, so Man Bao hadn't adjusted to it for a while.
She came back to her senses, nodded, and went forward with Bai Shan.
Bai Shan couldn't stop looking at her, "This time I'm even more exhausted than in Huangzhuang."
Man Bao sighed, "The children of the clan are too spoiled."
Bai Shan just laughed, "Your Majesty also said the same thing. Today, the clan's children left the Daming Palace, and there was a lot of crying in the palace. Your Majesty was terribly quarreled, so he handed over the princes to him for a lesson, not allowing them to pamper the clan's children too much." .”
The kitchen prepared a bowl of noodles for Manbao, with a lot of ingredients in it, and Manbao ate very happily.
She looked around and asked, "Where's Bai Er?"
"I'm studying in the palace," Bai Shan said, "the exam is coming up in a few days, the master doesn't allow us to disturb him and the eldest brother, saying that even Chongyang has to be locked up at home to study."
Man Bao nodded understandingly, "Then we will be quieter in Chongyang this year, and we won't go out to play."
Bai Shan nodded.
Man Bao still complained a bit, "The Jinshi exams were placed before the Chongyang Festival in the past two years, so after the exam, they just pass the Chongyang Festival, why are they placed later this year?"
Bai Shandao: "On the day of Qintian Supervisor's election, it is said that it will rain in these few days, and after the Double Ninth Festival, the sun will shine brightly."
Qin Tian's calculations were very accurate, and it really rained the next day. It was not heavy, but it was fine and dense, just like spring rain.
Man Bao stood on the porch watching the rain, Bai Shan went to the Yamen, and Bai Dalang temporarily lived in the Imperial College to work hard, so she was the only master in the whole family.
Xibing came to her, "My lord, what do you want for breakfast?"
Man Bao said: "That's a good question, because I don't know either."
She said: "Go and tell the kitchen, serve me whatever you have. By the way, send it to the open pavilion in the garden. I'm going to eat there while enjoying the rain."
Xibing was stunned, and asked, "Aren't you going to play with the master and wife?"
She still wanted to go out with her, but this time they took several districts of Xihua, including Wuyue and Jiulan, so she had to stay at home and wait for the adults. In a good name, the adults used her.
Man Bao shook his head, and said with a serious face: "It's raining, my mother never let me get wet in the rain since I was a child."
Then you go to enjoy the rain.
Man Bao found a particularly good reason to be alone, enjoying the rain and eating in the Changxuan leisurely, and walked halfway through the garden by stepping on the bluestone board with an umbrella.
The rain was not very heavy, it came in bursts, so it didn't affect her view of the scenery. She also came back with scissors and cut a lot of flowers. When Bai Shan came back from her lunch break, she saw her holding an umbrella in one hand, The appearance of returning with a bosom full of flowers.
Behind her was a Western Cake who was also holding flowers, which showed how many flowers she had destroyed today.
Seeing Bai Shan, Man Bao smiled and asked, "Why are you back?"
Bai Shan stood at the moon gate holding an umbrella and said with a smile: "I am not going to be on duty in the palace today. There are not many things going on in the Imperial Academy, so I come back for lunch at noon. What are you doing? Wait until my mother comes back and sees you With so many flowers, she must be heartbroken."
Man Bao smiled and said, "I want to arrange flowers, and I will choose the most beautiful bottle for Aunt Zheng."
Bai Shan stepped forward, reached out to take the umbrella in her hand, closed it and pushed his own umbrella over, and the two of them hid under the same umbrella. After looking around, he asked, "Do you still want to cut it?"
Man Bao shook his head, "Enough cutting."
When the two of them went back, Manbao asked Xibing to find a beautiful vase, and while arranging the flowers gently, she said, "This year is so strange that it rains before the Double Ninth Festival."
