When Mr. Jiang turned his head and saw that Mr. Zhuang was distracted, he couldn't help being taken aback, and turned his head to follow his gaze.
There were only people drinking tea in the lobby, and the distance between the tables was not particularly large, so he couldn't tell who Mr. Zhuang was looking at.
If he didn't understand, he asked, so he asked, "What are you looking at?"
Mr. Zhuang has recovered, looked away and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's getting late, why don't we just go away?"
Mr. Jiang: ... It hasn't been half an hour since I sat down.
However, seeing that he didn't seem to be very interested, he nodded and said, "Okay."
The two checked out and left.
Although Mr. Mei had inquired about Zhou Man, what he asked his servants to inquire about was somewhat different from what the storyteller said, so he was listening with great interest.
Mei Niangzi was even more addicted to it.
When Mr. Zhuang went downstairs, he couldn't help but glanced at the few people sitting on the table in the middle, and then looked away with just one glance, and went out with Mr. Jiang.
Immediately, someone drove the carriage up.
Mr. Jiang saw that he didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he stopped and said with a smile: "That's all, that's all, next time I will go with you to find that old Taoist in Xuandu Temple, and listen to your discussion."
Mr. Zhuang finally showed a smile, nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang said this, I wrote it down."
Mr. Jiang nodded with a smile, got into the carriage first and left.
Mr. Zhuang stood on the side of the street and watched him leave, and his servants pulled the carriage to the side. The sun was too high, so he couldn't help reminding, "Sir, do we want to go back?"
Mr. Zhuang regained his senses, called him to him and said, "Did you see the people sitting at the table in the middle?"
The servant only glanced inside, "Sir, are you talking about the table with an old man, a middle-aged man and two young men?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly.
The servant laughed and said, "I've made a note of it, little one."
"Look at them and see where they are staying. If you can find out why they came to Beijing, it's best, if you can't find out..." Mr. Zhuang sighed after a pause: "Forget it, forget it, just can't find out Forget it."
The servant immediately responded, "Don't worry, sir, the younger ones must be carefully investigated."
He pulled the carriage up and asked, "Sir, shall I take you home first?"
Mr. Zhuang waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll find another car to go back."
When the servant heard this, he immediately pulled his carriage back and put it away again, and then found a mule cart for Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang didn't stay and went home directly.
Mr. Zhuang didn't go to the Yamen today because he didn't have classes and it was hot in summer, so he just skipped work and didn't go to the palace.
He can do this, but Bai Shan and Zhou Man obviously can't, they are both in court at the moment.
Mr. Zhuang went into his yard when he got home, and sat in the study in a daze.
Xibing came in with a plate of sliced melons, "Sir, this is the melons from Zhuangzi, try it."
Mr. Zhuang came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Man Bao's workplace has grown melons?"
"It's not planted in the adult's job field, it's planted in the Zhuangzi of the adult's family."
Mr. Zhuang laughed, "You've been here for so long, why haven't you changed your address yet? It's adults and adults, and outsiders will be confused when they hear it."
Xibing smiled embarrassedly, "We changed it, but sometimes we forget it."
Mr. Zhuang shook his head and smiled, took a piece of melon and said, "Okay, just put down the fruit plate."
Xibing didn't leave, but asked: "Madam asked you what you want for lunch, I'll let the kitchen do it. It's hot in the afternoon, do you want to go out, sir? My lord brought back a box of tea and said it was this year's new tea , would you like to make you a cup..."
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help laughing, and after eating a piece of melon, he went to wash his hands, let her babble, and waved his hand when she finished babbling: "Let's eat some vegetarian for lunch, just add more easy-to-digest foods."
Xibing took the order and left.
Mr. Zhuang took a book and sat under the window, and soon another servant brought over a basin of ice, which was placed not far from the entrance, with the breeze blowing. In fact, this basin of ice is not very useful, but it makes people It feels a lot cooler.
Mr. Zhuang's impetuous heart gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He didn't expect that at his age, he was not as calm as a few children.
Mr. Zhuang stayed in the study for a long time until Bai Shan and Zhou Man came back from the Yamen. The two walked side by side. From a distance, Mr. Zhuang heard Man Bao's loud laughter.
Seeing the two of them approaching chatteringly, Mr. Zhuang smiled and waved to them.
Man Bao immediately trotted forward, dragging Bai Shan forward, "Sir, Your Majesty is going to the palace in Yongzhou to escape the summer heat, and we all have to follow."
Mr. Zhuang was taken aback when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Bai Shan is a member of Zhongshushe, so he naturally wants to follow. Your Taiyuan Hospital ordered you to accompany you?"
Man Bao nodded: "Only me and Imperial Physician Zheng, Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Liu are going to do the work of the Imperial Medical Office. They are so busy that they can't go at all."
Mr. Zhuang nodded with a smile, remembered something, and asked, "Where is the prince?"
"The crown prince stays in the capital," Bai Shan said with a smile, "Although Yongzhou is not far from the capital, but Shengjia is away from the capital, so it is necessary to keep someone here to supervise the country. The crown prince is the most suitable."
Bai Shan paused for a moment, remembering that Mr. Zhuang is still the prince's attendant, and every ten days he still has to teach the prince a lesson, so he looked around and said in a low voice: "Sir, your majesty's move is also to train the prince. Let the prince supervise the country, and most of the documents will be handed over to the prince for review in the future."
Mr. Zhuang was slightly surprised, "His Royal Highness is in his prime, why would he think of letting the prince supervise the country?"
Bai Shan also felt strange, and shook his head to express that he didn't know.
Both master and apprentice looked at Man Bao.
Man Bao met their eyes in confusion, realized what they were thinking, and said quickly: "Your Majesty is in good health. Although there are some problems on his body, who is healthy at this age? It is not bad among people of the same age. "
The master and apprentice looked away as soon as they heard it, so it wasn't because of their bodies.
The three of them stopped thinking if they couldn't figure it out, and sat down in the study, "Sir, you didn't enter the palace today."
Man Bao looked at the fruit plate and refreshments on the table, envious. Mr. is living a good life, the errands are few and easy, and he doesn't know when she will get this kind of treatment.
Mr. Zhuang seemed to know what she was thinking, reached out and patted her on the head, and said angrily, "Compare you to people my age?"
While talking and laughing, a servant came in to report, "Sir, I have found the whereabouts of the person you want to watch."
Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at Mr. Zhuang in surprise.
Mr. Zhuang didn't hide them either, he called people in and asked, "Where do they live?"
"I live in an inn, and I'm inquiring about renting a house in the capital."
Mr. Zhuang asked, "What did they come to the capital for?"
"It is said that it is for the Jinshi examination after this autumn."
When Mr. Zhuang heard this, he was a little taken aback, "That's right, both sons and grandsons can take the exam."
Man Bao was very curious, "Sir, who is it?"
"An old friend named Yao Ge."
Bai Shan frowned, "The one who stole my husband's poems back then?"
