"What are you doing together? If you get separated, eat carrots and don't worry about it. He has made countless achievements in five years, and his political achievements are clearly recorded in our official documents. Even if he goes around and is still a fifth-rank official, that's okay Fifth-rank officials who have registered in front of His Majesty, what are you talking about here?"
The right servant of the Ministry of Officials dispersed the people, and when they were all gone, he snorted coldly, turned around and went into the room to report to Cui Shangshu, "My lord, it's time for the Ministry to rectify, too much talking."
Cui Shangshu recalled the last time he was in front of the imperial court, nodded his head and said: "It is true that he talks a lot. This freelancer not only has the favor of the prince, but also wins the prince's heart. The future is limitless, and there is no need for the officials to offend him. "
"Don't look at five years ago, just look at his promotion from the seventh-rank county magistrate to the fifth-rank giver. This is a great joy. I wonder if the princess' mansion will entertain guests?"
"Why, do you want to go?"
The servant on the right smiled, "That also depends on whether the Princess Palace is willing to invite you."
Cui Shangshu thought for a while and then shook his head, "The Bai and Zhou families have always kept a low profile. Zhou Mande didn't celebrate when he was made princess, and he probably won't have a banquet this time either."
Bai Shan didn't take this matter to heart at all, after the appointment, he just took his family back to his father-in-law's house, and the two families had a reunion dinner together as a celebration.
He still has two days to rest, just in time to tidy up the study room. The little boy Bai Jingxing took a rag and wiped it around. When Bai Erlang led Bai Ruoyu in, she was halfway into the bookcase and wiped all the books inside. It was vacated and scattered all over the ground.
Bai Erlang bent down to pick up one to read, his eyes widened, "Why is it my book?"
Bai Shan glanced at it nonchalantly and said, "That's great, it's the bottom of the box."
Bai Erlang looked around, and inserted his book into a shelf that was neither too high nor too short, "This is where a good book should be placed."
"Put it in the same place as the book of sages, you'd be fine."
Bai Erlang looked at the "Analects of Confucius", "Book of Rites" and other books in the same row, and felt a little embarrassed, so he could only take them down, "But I don't want to put them down."
Bai Shan allowed him to find a place to put it.
Bai Erlang took his two children to pick out his own books, and when he saw an empty bookshelf at the back, he chose a good place to put it, "Da Baoer, these books can be used as family heirlooms in the future."
Bai Shan and Bai Ruoyu said: "Just listen to what your father says."
When the two of them packed up their books and went out, Zhou Man also came back from the office, "Come on, Zhuangzi sent a basket of peaches here today, I ate one, it was so sweet."
The servant brought up a plate of washed peaches, Bai Shan picked one and took a bite, then nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Yang will come later and ask him to bring some back."
Zhou Man responded, looked left and right and asked, "Where is Yin Ju, haven't you come yet?"
Bai Erlang: "He is on good terms with Dao now. He moved to live in Xuandu Temple two days ago, and he is expected to come back from the temple today."
Bai Shan: "I haven't seen Dao and Daoxu for many years. I'll have a day off tomorrow. Why don't you visit Xuandu Temple? Will you go with me?"
Bai Erlang pointed to his nose and asked, "Me?"
"It's not you, who else, Man Bao wants to go to the government."
Bai Erlang shouted: "I want to go to the Yamen too."
"Aren't you allowed to come late and leave early?" Bai Shan looked him up and down, "Otherwise how did you come to my house today?"
Bai Erlang couldn't find a reason, and nodded helplessly after a while, "All right, I'll go with you."
When Yin Yu arrived, Yang and Shu happened to have just arrived. The two families met at the door and entered together.
Yang Heshu's second son was a little younger than Bai Jingxing's kid, he took his brother's hand and walked over the steps, then ran towards Bai Jingxing, took her hand and said, "Sister."
Bai Jingxing shook off his hand, "I'm my sister!"
It's okay to be Da Bao'er's younger sister, she was born a few hours late anyway, it's too much for someone who is shorter than her to call her younger sister.
Zhou Man asked their four children to play, grabbed Mrs. Yang and said, "Sister-in-law, let's wait in the garden. The table is placed in the garden, and we can enjoy the scenery while eating."
Madam Yang nodded with a smile: "Okay."
A large table was set up in the pavilion in the garden, and the servants first served them some snacks and fruit plates. The children played in the garden, and the adults sat in the pavilion and talked.
Mrs. Yang looked around and said with a smile, "Your garden looks much more lush than it was years ago."
"One spring, the flowers and plants flourished, and they grew naturally. It was also thanks to the flowers and plants sent by Princess Changyu. Otherwise, the garden would not be so good."
Bai Shan made tea, poured everyone a cup of tea, and asked Yin He, "Why did you live in Guanli?"
Yin He: "My grandmother is not in good health. Recently, whenever she sees me, she mentions the matter of getting married. In order not to disturb her recuperation, I avoid the Taoist temple, but it is not bad to live in the temple. I read books with the Taoist and the Taoist leader every day. , It’s also very pleasant to talk about the Tao.”
Yin's sixth sister now has four children, two sons and two daughters, both of whom are named Yin, and Mrs. Yin's great-grandmother's addiction has been enough. These years, she basically doesn't mention Yin or getting married. The son was probably ill, and felt that time was running out, so he brought it up again.
Yin Ju looked at Zhou Man, "Wait for you to rest, I want to invite you to my house."
Zhou Man nodded: "Okay."
She understood what he meant, cut off his mortal relationship, she did this a lot in the past few years, it's simple.
This ten days before the imperial court rested, Zhou Man handed over the affairs at hand in the Imperial Hospital to Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Lu; those in the Imperial Medical Office were handed over to Mr. Luo, and the Chongwen Museum took some materials and took a leisurely rest. It's a long vacation.
After Bai Shan came down from the yamen, he rushed to the Chongwen Museum to move things for her.
The clerk in charge of registering and compiling books in the Chongwen Museum inspected the things she had taken away, and said: "Master Zhou, these books must not be damaged, and you will have to return them when you return."
Zhou Man: "Don't worry, when have I damaged a book?"
The official muttered, "Other officials can only bring out two books when they are on vacation..."
Zhou Man heard it, and immediately said: "I have the prince's handwriting!"
Yes, so you are always right.
The clerk silently handed the booklet to her and asked her to sign it.
Zhou Man signed, pressed his fingerprints, and asked Bai Shan to remove the book with a wave of his hand.
In fact, there are not many books, only eight volumes in charge, but in addition to books, there are also some newspapers and manuscripts, and there are many.
He tidied things up and put them in the basket, holding the basket in one hand and supporting Zhou Man in the other, and said, "Let's go."
The two of them went out of the palace together, and happened to meet the prince returning to the East Palace, and stopped when they saw the two who were passing by the side of the road, "Is this going to be on a long vacation?"
Zhou Man's bow should be
The prince nodded and led the people away first, and when he returned to Zhan Shi's mansion, he said to Guo Zhan Shi, "Choose another person from Daming Palace."
Guo Zhan said with a smile: "Yes, His Highness is sympathetic to his subordinates, and Lord Bai should know."
The prince waved his hand indifferently and said: "No need, let the province select someone as soon as possible, Daming Palace is faster, it's only April and it's wet, wait until June and July, it will be stuffy and wet, stay in Taiji Palace Really uncomfortable."
Guo Zhan responded.
