Zhou Man nodded slightly, and asked, "New students will be recruited in the spring, are the test questions ready?"
"I'm going to talk to Mr. Zhou," Xiao Yuan said, "You also get a copy of the test questions. When the time comes, each imperial physician will take out a few questions and mix them together."
Zhou Man: "I can't, I have a nephew who is going to take the exam this year, so I have to avoid suspicion."
Xiao Yuan was waving his hand and said: "No, there are relatives of imperial physicians who take the exam every year, and they have to avoid suspicion, so there are no one who even wrote the questions."
He said generously: "You can come up with the questions, and we will choose the mixed questions when the time comes. Don't say that Mr. Zhou will not leak the exam questions. Even if he leaks, it is his ability to pass the exam."
Zhou Man raised his eyebrows, thinking it was true, medical skills are not like others, and the exam questions are not just papers.
When Zhou Man went back, she began to think about the question. She walked while thinking, and when she got a clue, she looked up and found that she had gone to the wrong place.
Zhou Man looked around and had to ask Daji, "Where is this place?"
Daji: "... This is the northwest corner, turn right ahead and walk straight to the garden."
Seeing that the courtyard doors were all locked, Zhou Man turned around and said, "The house is too big, by the way, why didn't you call me just now when I went astray?"
Daji: "I called, but my wife didn't hear, I don't want to disturb your thoughts."
Zhou Man sighed, looked up at the sky sadly and said: "Look at the gray sky, it looks like it will snow again tonight, I don't know what Bai Shan is doing, this year he will celebrate the New Year alone."
Daji: ... He didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned the Lord, but he was used to it, so he listened quietly.
Zhou Man said: "Do you think I should let a few people go to accompany him to celebrate the New Year?"
Daji had a bad premonition in his heart, and quickly said: "The lady is right, I haven't celebrated the New Year with my wife and children for many years."
Zhou Man just remembered, "That's right, Daji, I will give you a long holiday this year. Shuping is an official in other places and can't come back. Bo'an is still in the escort agency, right? We should be able to reunite."
Zhou Man originally wanted Daji to send some things to Bai Shan, and by the way spend the New Year with Bai Shan in Beihai County.
If Daji couldn't go, it would be the same whoever was sent to deliver things. After all, Daji was the one who grew up with them, and the other servants were just servants.
Zhou Man finally returned to the main courtyard, leaning on the table with his chin propped up, thinking, what should I give Bai Shan to celebrate the New Year with him so that he won't be too lonely
She really couldn't figure it out, so she could only suppress the matter first and write the test questions first.
In the evening, it really snowed heavily, and Zhou Man was lying on the bed, listening to the rustling voices outside, and felt that the days lying in bed were so happy.
The next day, she was awakened by the sound of snowballs hitting the window.
Jiulan heard the movement, opened the door and came in, said with a smile: "Miss, you woke up so late today, the little lady has come to play."
Zhou Man got up to put on his clothes and went out to look around in his cloak. He saw little boy Bai Jingxing jumping in the snow dressed like a ball. His little hands were red from the cold, but he still couldn't help grabbing the snow. After pressing it, she threw it at the servants who were playing with her.
The servants ran to dodge, some dodged, some did not dodge, the snowballs hit people's backs, stomachs, and even faces, and the courtyard was filled with only the laughter of the little boy Bai Jingxing.
Zhou Man gathered his cloak, stepped forward and asked the dodging servants, "Why do you just run and not throw it back?"
Except for Wuyue, they knelt and knelt together, ignoring the snow on the ground, and said with their foreheads against the snow: "I dare not."
Zhou Man was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, frowning and asked, "Answer the answer, what are you kneeling for?"
The servants bowed their heads and got up.
Zhou Man looked them around, "Are you people sent by the Dianzhong Province?"
"yes."
Zhou Man nodded, and said to them: "Just wait on the sidelines, Wu Yue, go and call some little girls, let them play snowball fights with eldest sister."
May: "Yes."
In May, I went to pick three little girls. They were all born in the family who just entered the mansion last year and this year. One was nine years old, one was ten years old, and the other was twelve years old.
They were called to the yard, and they fought with the little boy Bai Jingxing while holding snowballs.
Bai Jingxing laughed even louder. The person who was hit by the snowball was happy, and he was even happier when he was hit by the snowball. The whole yard was filled with her laughter.
After Zhou Man washed up, he opened the door and sat in the room eating a hot breakfast, watching them play while eating.
When Bai Jingxing was tired from playing by himself, Zhou Man beckoned her into the room, "Wash her hands and change her clothes."
"yes."
Bai Jingxing, who was changing clothes, was hugged and sat down beside Zhou Man. Zhou Man poured her a bowl of meat porridge and said, "Do you want to eat?"
Bai Jingxing had eaten breakfast, but she was also hungry after playing for so long, so she immediately dragged a bowl to eat by herself.
Zhou Man asked her, "It's time for you to go to school after the Chinese New Year, and you don't need to learn much. Playing is the main thing, but you also need to recognize some words. Whether it's playing or reading, you can learn fast if you have a partner around you. Do you have to choose two things?" A little girl with me, or with my cousins, nieces and nephews?"
The kid Bai Jingxing asked, "What about Dabaoer?"
Zhou Man said, "I'll ask you later."
Bai Jingxing thought for a while and said, "I don't want girls anymore, I have a lot of girls, so I'll be with my cousins, nieces and nephews."
Zhou Man nodded, then pointed to the waiter outside and said: "Since you don't need a playmate, then when you want to play in the future, your friends will not be there, so you can play with them. But you have to remember, you come and play with me." In the past, such as playing snowball, if you hit someone else, the other person will hit you back, that’s called playing.”
"You hit someone, but others don't dare to fight back, that's called abuse, you know?"
The kid Bai Jingxing listened blankly, and said, "I want them to play with me."
Zhou Man smiled and touched her head, "Mother knows, but they are afraid of you now and dare not play with you. Our eldest sister is a considerate person, so don't force them to play with you, okay?"
"To play, you must also find the right partner, so that if you are happy, others will be happy too."
The kid Bai Jingxing thought for a while and said, "You want to play with someone who dares to beat me?"
Zhou Man: "... It's true to say so, but there's no need to play with the person who beat you, you can..."
Zhou Man herself was confused, she paused for a moment, then led her daughter out, pointed in one direction and said, "Do you know who lives in that yard?"
"Yes, Master! Teacher of father and mother."
"It's so smart," Zhou Man said, "If you have nothing to do, go there to play with the master. Mother can't explain things like principles well, so you can ask the master."
Jiulan couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter, "Lady, if you can't teach me well, I will push it to Mr. Zhuang. If Mr. Zhuang finds out..."
Zhou Man hissed and said, "If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows?"
Jiulan motioned her to look at the people standing in and out of the yard.
Zhou Man paused and said, "Everyone doesn't say anything."
