The speed of the team after leaving the city gate is faster, but because there are more frames, no matter how fast it is, it can't go much faster.
Man Bao took out a bag of water from the horse's waist, unscrewed it, took a sip, and sighed again.
The servants at the side couldn't help but swallowed, and took out the water bag to drink water, but for some reason, Liu Shilang always felt that the water Zhou Man drank was different from theirs, so he stared at her water bag.
When Man Bao saw it, he said, "This is tea made with honeysuckle flowers. Would Mr. Liu want to drink it?"
If Zhou Man wasn't a woman, Liu Shilang would have nodded, but she was, so Liu Shilang just smiled and shook his head.
Man Bao kept this in mind, and when he walked forward, he left the team and ran forward for a while to find Princess Mingda's carriage.
Bai Erlang and Ming Da sat together, the carriage was too slow, the sun was bright, and he was bored, so he was dozing off at this moment.
The frame was knocked, and he raised his head. Seeing that Mingda seemed to have just woken up, he opened the curtain to look.
Man Bao rode beside the carriage and asked him, "Where are the things I asked you to bring?"
Bai Erlang pointed to the servant behind him and said, "Ask Ma Fuming."
He suddenly didn't want to sit in the car anymore, so he greeted Ming Da and asked the guard outside for his horse.
As soon as he got on the horse, he was overjoyed, "It's better to ride a horse."
Man Bao glanced at him silently, "If you can still say that in two quarters of an hour, I will respect you as a man."
In less than a quarter of an hour, he couldn't take it anymore, "Why is the sun so strong?"
Isn't this normal
Otherwise, why did the emperor go out of Beijing to escape the summer heat
Man Bao said: "I'll go to Doctor Duan to get some things, and you ask Ma Fuming to go ahead and ask the imperial guards camped for a stove."
Bai Erlang could only run errands for her.
If Man Bao and the others were traveling by themselves, they would not have started a fire at noon, but this is the holy grail.
However, if Manbao and the others traveled lightly and easily, the distance from the capital to Yongzhou would not be so small that they would still be outside at noon.
Most of the people are on dry food, um, including the following ministers and ministers, the imperial guards also set up a few stoves to heat up meals for the nobles.
Bai Erlang directly asked for a boiled tea.
He listened to Manbao, and asked the cook to cook two barrels of thick sour plum soup at home, and then poured it directly into the pot, half a barrel at a time, boiled and sprinkled some dried osmanthus brought by Manbao, and then Pour into a bucket full of ice...
Bai Erlang stood watching from the side, seeing the dark red soup falling from the white ice, he couldn't help swallowing, this ice looks so delicious...
He took a spoon and wanted to bring it up together, but was beaten by Man Bao who came over.
Bai Erlang: "...how did you come here so fast?"
Man Bao: "Guess?"
Bai Erlang ignored her.
The servants and maids mixed the soup and ice in the bucket together, and the ice melted soon, then covered the bucket, and sent it to the empress first.
After a while, the accompanying officials were also given slightly iced sour plum soup. Not to mention, the sun is shining at the moment, drinking a bowl is indeed very healing.
When the work was over, the servants and maids gathered together to sip the freshly brewed herbal tea, which is also a good product to relieve the heat, but the taste will not be as good as the sour plum soup used by adults.
But at this time, they can still drink the herbal tea to relieve the heat, and they are already very satisfied.
Half of the accompanying maids were in carriages and followed at a distance, and the other half followed the carriages by their legs.
So it's them who lose more water.
Gu Zhong served the emperor after finishing his lunch, so he came over to ask for boiling water to make tea, and You Nei served a bowl of herbal tea that was specially iced.
He took a sip and shook his head, "It's better to drink it lukewarm, you're just superfluous."
The servant was startled and wanted to kneel down.
"Forget it," Gu Zhong waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, is the amount enough?"
"Enough, not only the little ones, but also the guards on the other side drank a bowl of herbal tea."
Gu Zhong nodded slightly, "Master Zhou is careful, you should also be careful, it's rare that someone remembers us contemptuous people, if someone has heatstroke, he will go to Duan for medical help, don't be like in previous years, just a short distance, There are several people who will die or live."
The servant bowed in response.
The speed of the carriage was slow, and it was almost dusk until they arrived at the Yongzhou Palace.
The emperor and the nobles lived directly in the arranged palace, and Man Bao didn't have to be tired. After exhaling, a servant asked, "Am I alone in the courtyard, or with Mr. Bai from Zhongshu Province?"
The servant smiled and said, "Master Bai is already living in Lord Zhou's courtyard."
Man Bao was satisfied, nodded and followed the servant to her yard.
This time, the emperor favored his ministers during the summer vacation, so officials of the fourth rank and above were allowed to bring their families.
There are not many officials above the fourth rank in the imperial court, and only half of them come, so it is still affordable for each person to have a yard.
I don't know if it's because Bai Shan is a member of Zhongshu Province, or because of Man Bao's particularity, the courtyard they shared is next to Mr. Wei's and the others, not very far from the Changqiu Hall where the emperor lived.
Further outside are the residences of the servants.
Yin Li lived in Xiangli, two yards away from them, um, it was diagonally opposite.
An idler Yin or wearing a big hat came over, and happened to run into Man Bao who was about to enter the door.
The two people's eyes lit up when they saw each other, Man Bao stepped forward and said with a smile: "I was looking for you during the lunch break, they said you came one step ahead, why did you come in later than us?"
Yin Ju smiled and said, "I'll wait at the foot of the mountain when I get there, and I won't come in until you're all in."
Man Bao saw that his face was in good spirits, so he nodded and said, "I'll go clean up first, and we'll have dinner together when Bai Shan comes back."
Yin nodded with a smile.
Bai Shan obviously had no time to spare, so Man Bao entered his own small courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, there were three rooms in the middle, and both the east and west sides could accommodate people.
She pushed open the door of the main room, saw that the inside was fairly clean, so she took off the official hat and hung it on it, and let out a sigh of relief. It was obvious that she was only riding a horse today, but she was so tired.
She sat in a daze for a while, and the last servant and luggage finally passed the inspection and came up the mountain.
Daji and two guards carried two boxes, and Xibing Wuyue carried a big burden on his back and arms, and came in behind a servant.
Man Bao heard the movement and went out, stretched out his hand to take the bag in Wu Yue's arms, speechless, "Didn't I just pack one box, why are there so many extra things?"
Wu Yue whispered: "This morning, after the lady went out, the old lady came to look at it, and felt that there were too few things, so she packed another box."
So it almost missed the registration.
The list of family members and servants who came with the officials was registered early in the morning, but the luggage was registered in advance. How many boxes were brought, and how many burdens were recorded.
How else can we say that all the officials and subordinates in the capital are crazy busy today.
Man Bao felt that the emperor was the most relaxed.
However, she felt that the most relaxed emperor had just sat down and had a sip of tea before receiving the offer.
