Several people couldn't help laughing, Chang Yu said helplessly: "Okay, I will see you off as soon as I see you off."
She sighed and said, "Now I live in Xiangzhou with my son-in-law. I can't take many things from the princess mansion. The other things are all dead things. I have to send people to guard them and clean them often. But the plants in the garden are not. If you can’t take it away, it’s not easy to take care of it.”
Mingda: "Didn't you leave a craftsman to take care of it in the mansion?"
Changyu said angrily: "They are all slaves, no one looked at them so they slacked off, this time when I went back home, several pots of peonies and chrysanthemums I raised before were ruined, and even the flowers and trees planted in the garden did not grow well. It can be seen that the mansion still has to have an owner to live in."
"Originally, I thought that if I failed, I would lose. When I return to Beijing for a long time in the future, I will raise it. But since you have moved to a new house and you have always loved flowers and plants, I will give you those things."
Zhou Man: "Really?"
"Could it be that I still lied to you for a few plants?" Changyu waved his hand and said, "When I'm leaving soon, you can ask the craftsman to dig."
Zhou Man comforted her, "Don't worry, entrusting these flowers and plants to me will not make a mistake. Not only do I like these things in my family, but my mother-in-law also loves them very much, and she is also good at cultivating flowers and plants. When you return to Beijing in the future, people will come to my house to pick them up." , when the time comes, I will send you back a garden of flowers and plants."
Changyu raised his eyebrows, "Really? All the plants in my garden are rare grasses, and I bought them from various places at a great price."
Changyu never thought of leaving the princess mansion before, so she took great care in every plant and tree in it, even a sunflower on the rockery was carefully arranged by her.
She was very open-minded at the time, if the son-in-law was to be released in the future, then he would let him go. She didn't mind giving him two concubines to take care of him, and she would also raise two concubines when the time came.
The son-in-law brought his concubine to make contributions outside, and she also took her face to live her princess life in the capital. How comfortable is she
As a result, when Wei Yu was going to be released after completing his filial piety, she was still unwilling to take him a concubine, nor was she willing to part ways with him for a long time, so she could only release Wei Yu with a look of disgust.
"I also have plum blossoms and crabapple flowers in my garden. You can say that you have everything you need. If you like these big flowers and trees, you can also transplant some of them, but you can't transplant too many. Even if I don't live, this garden can't Bare, otherwise it would be ugly."
Seeing her so conflicted, Zhou Man couldn't help but said: "Otherwise, I'll send someone to look at your garden every other month or two? It's always better to take care of it from time to time than to plant it in a hurry when you come back to live in the future, right?"
Mingda smiled and said: "Leave this to me. My house is next door. You leave the servants behind. I will send people to check on them from time to time. They will not dare to neglect you."
Chang Yu hugged their arms and said with a smile: "Then I will leave this matter to you two. Fortunately, our three families live close to each other now, otherwise I would be embarrassed."
Zhou Man had a look of disbelief, "Are you still embarrassed?"
"Why can't I? I'm also very thin-skinned. By the way, hurry up and tell me, is there a good sea pearl at the Longchi Wharf? I heard that there are many merchants from other places who show up there. Is it true that a sea pearl is as big as a child's fist?"
Zhou Man talked with her for a while, and a servant came over and said, "Miss, you can sit down now."
When Zhou Man heard this, he got up immediately, "Let's go, let's go to the table."
She was already hungry, but she is pregnant now, and she doesn't feel full after eating snacks, but it takes up her stomach, so she doesn't want to eat.
Zhou Man went to invite the female guests to the table, Mrs. Liu and the others also attended the table. Seeing Zhou Man busy in the crowd, she called Mrs. Zheng and said, "Ziqian is pregnant, so she can't be tired. Let her come and sit, guest." You take Lijun to entertain him."
Zhou Lijun also stopped Zhou Man, and instead arranged for the wives to sit according to the order of their seats, Zhou Sisister and the others arranged for the servants to serve dishes, chopsticks, and meals...
Zhou Man sat next to Mrs. Liu, and only then did the old lady look at Zhou Man and said, "Master Zhou is pregnant?"
I can't see it at all.
Zhou Man replied "Yes" with a smile, "It's been more than four months."
The month is small, and there are so many clothes in winter, except for the group of imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, no one in the court knows that Zhou Man is pregnant.
But after today, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty will know.
"Every day you go up to court together, and you don't even notice that someone is pregnant, what a lump of elm."
"Let's not say Master Zhou is a woman, even if he is a man, I can't stare at people's stomachs, right? And I see Master Zhou coming and going as usual, moving with the wind, and I can't see the weakness of pregnancy at all. How do I know that she is pregnant?" gone?"
Even the emperor knew from Gu Zhong's gossip, "Zhou Man is pregnant? Isn't that..."
Gu Zhong smiled and said: "That's right, Mr. Zhou was nearly two months pregnant when he returned to Beijing."
The emperor couldn't help sighing: "It was hard for her during that time. When she has a baby, give her an extra month, no, half a month's leave."
Gu Zhong wrote down with a smile.
The emperor asked, "How is Beihai County now?"
"I haven't heard of any news. Would you like to ask the Ministry of Officials, Your Majesty?"
The official assessment at the end of the year is recorded by the Ministry of Officials.
The emperor said: "Bai Shan's evaluation must be top-notch, what is there to investigate?"
The emperor knocked on the table and became thoughtful, "He has stayed in Beihai County long enough."
Gu Zhong pushed aside, didn't interrupt, let the emperor talk to himself, the emperor didn't need him to talk, he just needed someone to listen.
After the housewarming day, Zhou Man received preferential treatment when she went to court again. During the court meeting, her cushion was thicker than others', and when she sat down, she felt very different from before.
During the Xiaochao meeting, the cushions in the study were changed to low stools. She could sit cross-legged without being respectful, and covered her legs and feet with an official robe, and no one could see her legs and feet crossed on the ground, so she was very comfortable.
Zhou Man didn't expect that pregnancy would have such benefits, so he was overjoyed, and quietly said to Xiao Yuan, "If I had known such preferential treatment, I should have announced that I was pregnant."
Xiao Yuan was ignoring her words, and handed her a list directly, "This is the finalized list, take a look, there is no problem, after the Lantern Festival, let them set off for the border. "
The emperor and the Ministry of War wanted to quickly send military doctors to the barracks, but the Imperial Medical Office had been obsessed with solving issues such as the military doctor's rank, salary and promotion, so they kept procrastinating.
It wasn't until now that the matter was resolved that the Tai Medical Department finalized the list.
Zhou Man looked at it and found that they were all male students, so he asked, "Have you asked them all?"
"I have asked, and they voluntarily went over."
Zhou Man nodded, and asked ponderingly, "Are there any female students willing to go there?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "There are a few, but we persuaded them to leave."
Zhou Man looked up at him.
Xiao Yuan said: "Military doctors also have to go to the battlefield. Their swords and guns have no eyes, and they have to carry wounded soldiers. Most of them do the work of dismantling arms and legs. Female students are not as good as male students."
