Zhou Man thought about it carefully, and shook his head after a long time, "No, I don't want to hide the truth from Kong Jijiu, I also like to treat diseases and save lives in the Imperial Medical Office, and I will leave later."
Kong Jijiu was puzzled: "Leave?"
Zhou Man nodded with a serious face, "That's right, when the Imperial Medical Office is on the right track, I will travel all over the world and wander the world."
Kong Jijiu: "...Master Zhou is really romantic, go alone?"
Zhou Man shook his head, "Of course I'm not alone, Master Bai agreed to accompany me."
Kong Jijiu couldn't help being curious, and asked, "What are you going to do, to see all the mountains and rivers in the world?"
"Not really," Zhou Man said, "I want to see more creatures that I have never seen before. Everything in the world grows differently due to different geography and seasons, not only flowers and plants, but also animals and birds. I want to see them all." experience."
It would be best if they could be caught and recorded.
Kong Jijiu finally saw her obsession with species, and couldn't help laughing.
The two talked for nearly two hours in the office room, and the lunch was delivered by the servant. Although the door was open, no one in the Chongwen Hall dared to listen to the corner of Kong Jijiu, so no one knew that they had talked. What, anyway, when Zhou Man finally came out, he was elated, with an excited look on his face.
Compared to the busyness of Zhou Man and Yang Heshu, Tang He was too busy.
He is handing over work to others recently, but he has just returned from Jiangnan, and the Jingzhao Mansion has not received much work, so naturally there is not much work, so it was done quickly.
As for the criminal department, because he often deals with the criminal department, he is too familiar with the affairs there, and he is going to go out to inspect. Apart from the case files handed in from various places, his government affairs are even less.
So he was free every day except to look at the case file.
When he was idle, Tang He wanted to experience the majesty of being the prime minister of the left, so he put on casual clothes and walked around the streets and alleys with a fan.
When Zhou Man came out of the palace and was looking for something delicious, he saw him standing downstairs with a sad face.
Zhou Man couldn't help but rein in his horse, and asked curiously, "Brother Tang, what's wrong with you?"
Tang He raised his eyelids to look at her, and said sadly: "It's you, leaving the palace? Come on, sit upstairs with me and drink tea?"
Zhou Man: "Is it okay to eat?"
Tang He: "... yes."
Zhou Man dismounted immediately, handed the rope to Daji, and followed Tang He into the Zhuangyuan Building.
Seeing that Tang He had returned, the staff at the Zhuangyuan Building immediately bent over and stepped forward, "Master Tang, do you want to sit on the second floor or the third floor this time?"
Tang He said: "Find a box on the second floor."
The buddy felt that Mr. Tang was finally back to normal, so he happily said yes, and graciously led the way for the two of them.
On the way, many people greeted Tang He and Zhou Man.
A scholar who came to Beijing this year to participate in the scientific examination and had never met the two could not help but ask the person next to him, "Who is this, so many people know each other?"
"Didn't you hear everyone's address? Master Tang and Master Zhou, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only one woman can be called a master. As for Master Tang, it is naturally Master Tang from Jingzhao Mansion. Gao has been promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment."
"Such a young right servant of the Ministry of Justice?"
"I saw the lady next to him, she is younger, she has the same official rank, and she also has the title of princess. It is all my own achievements, not inherited from the ancestors."
The two entered the private room, Tang He and Mingli said: "Go and invite Chang Bo to come and have him come over to have dinner together."
Mingli stepped back.
Zhou Man: "Brother Tang, what are you worried about?"
Tang He poured her tea and said, "Didn't you hear everyone's discussion just now?"
"I heard that," Zhou Man said happily, "They all praised me for being great, um, some also praised my brother."
Tang He: "... I don't need them to praise me, I just want them to mention that I am the son of Tang Zuoxiang."
Zhou Man: "This... Is there anything special about it?"
"Yes, how prestigious does it sound? And if I have such a reputation, I will give my father more face when I go out to inspect people's houses. As a result, no one talks about it now. Obviously, I have forgotten that I am my father's son."
Zhou Man: "...Brother Tang, you think too much, you will remember what you should remember, but you are not weak now, so we don't mention it."
She asked curiously, "Why do you care so much about this?"
Tang He sighed sadly: "I want to be a dude."
Yang Heshu opened the door and came in, hearing the words: "Don't pay attention to him, he's just idle, and he doesn't want to leave Beijing, that's why he wants to make trouble."
Zhou Man immediately became alert, "Brother Tang, there have been a lot of things going on in the court recently, especially in our Imperial Medical Office, so don't make trouble."
She also wanted to make a quick decision. If he caused trouble to divert everyone's attention, it would be too late.
Tang He: "... Am I the kind of person who makes trouble?"
He sighed and said, "I'm just sad and unwilling. If I leave, I won't be able to return to the capital for at least three years. If my father is capable and can do well in the position of left minister, I might have to patrol for five, six, seven or eight years." , I have to continue to release it for five, six, seven or eight years after I come back... "
Zhou Man: "...it's not that long, is it?"
Yang Heshu also nodded, "You think too much, you can come back in five years at most."
"That time was not short, and he was still traveling outside, not in a fixed place."
Zhou Man was full of envy, "How wonderful, I just want to have such an errand, I wonder if I can patrol the medical offices of the world in the future."
Tang He froze, apparently Zhou Man couldn't understand his pain, so he looked at Yang Heshu.
Yang Heshu smiled at him and asked, "Have you decided, do you want to bring your family?"
As soon as Tang He grabbed his hand, "I knew it, you still understand the pain in my heart."
Zhou Man: ...
Tang He pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said to him: "Don't think about the young ones, they have to study, and they are on a long journey. The children are weak, and I am also worried, so I have to stay. Madam, I am struggling now , I want her to be with me, but I also feel that it is not good to leave the child alone at home."
If he puts it outside at a fixed place, he can bring his small family with him, but now he is not fixed. When he tours the world and inquires about local cases, he will have to change the place after staying for a month or two at most. The time spent on the trip Too long is not good for children.
Yang Heshu thought for a while and said, "Accompanying for half a year, staying in Beijing for half a year?"
Tang He shook his head, "The chariots and horses are too slow, and it takes a long time to travel that way, and I don't feel relieved about her running around like this."
The world is not so stable, there are still many bandits and robbers.
Zhou Man felt that these were not problems, "What's the matter, there are also unique scenery on the road, how wonderful, I can go out for fun at least once a year, counting the round trip, that's three times, I must be happy.
Tang He and Yang Heshu turned their heads and looked at her silently.
Zhou Man looked back at them, "It's true, I won't lie to you, if it wasn't for the tight time this time, I still have a public job, I would be happy to travel along the way, and I can turn to Bianzhou on the way to have a look, that's the Central Plains In the most central place, I heard that there are many good things, and the folk customs are different from other places."
Tang He sighed and said, "How many people in the world think like you?"
Zhou Man felt that there should be a lot of self-examination, "Why don't you ask Mrs. Tang Xue? Maybe she likes it as much as I do?"
