Chapter 1947 due diligence
Manbao told them this passage vividly while eating, including not only what each adult said, but also describing the expressions and expressions of the adults and the emperor that she could see at that time.
It was obvious that the game was only about four-quarters of an hour, but she didn't finish until everyone's rest time was almost over.
But everyone listened with great interest.
After hearing this, Zhao Liulang pushed the food box forward without finishing, and finally asked the waiters to put away the cold dishes and chopsticks that had already been eaten.
Unknowingly, the students who were sitting nearby also stood up one after another, only to realize that their lunch break had passed without them noticing.
Man Bao also said that his mouth was dry and his tongue was burnt. He drank the water on the side in one gulp, stood up and said, "I'm going to find Mr."
Mr. Zhuang already knew what happened at the Great Court Meeting from Kong Jijiu, and some of his colleagues in the Chongwen Hall envied him for having a good apprentice.
The main reason is that this official's promotion is so enviable.
Mr. Zhuang stroked his gray beard and smiled: "Yeah, I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to be an apprentice when I got older, hahaha..."
The colleagues took a look at Mr. Zhuang's half-white hair, and the jealousy in their hearts disappeared a lot, and they became more envious. When they saw Zhou Man again, they smiled at her.
Man Bao ran to find Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, everyone is acting strange today."
Mr. Zhuang smiled and put the book on the bookshelf and asked, "Why is it strange?"
"Everyone laughed at me." Man Bao was not too entangled about this matter. He was mainly afraid that his husband would have questions, so he came over to explain some of the inside story. By the way, he said: "Sir, he needs to receive his official uniform again, and it will be returned next month.
You can receive a new salary."
Man Bao suddenly remembered, "We are very lucky. We will be promoted just before August. We should be able to catch up with the job division this year."
Mr. Zhuang: ...His apprentice’s focus is always so strange. Is the promotion just for career?
But Lao Zhoutou just believes that promotion is really just for career.
After hearing that Mr. Zhuang was promoted and would be allocated a lot of land, Lao Zhoutou specially asked Wu Lang to go to the market to buy two chickens and kill them, and asked Xiao Qian to cook a particularly sumptuous meal to celebrate.
Of course, this meal had nothing to do with Man Bao. She just swallowed silently after learning about it from her husband.
Just when Mr. Zhuang was successfully promoted and received new official uniforms and official seals, Mr. Wei and others were not afraid of hardships and went to the Queen Mother's Palace every day to give advice.
They seemed to have arranged the order, from Mr. Wei, to Mr. Li Shangshu, to Mr. Old Tang, to Mr. Han Shangshu, and even Mr. Yin went there in person. After everyone went through it again, they found that it was ineffective, so they went again, and in the end too
In the harem, he was called Xiao Yuanzheng.
Wei Zhi and others were afraid that the Queen Mother would be angry before she left the palace. In addition, the Emperor was also alerted and insisted on obeying the Queen Mother. Several ministers discussed it and finally had no choice but to agree.
But there have been changes. The things the Queen Mother and the Emperor decided to reward Xuandu Temple were reduced by 30%, and the security along the way was strengthened.
From the palace, we went all the way to Xuandu Temple. Unfortunately, they were all within the jurisdiction of Mr. Tang, so Mr. Tang was very busy these days.
The appearance and construction of the capital is only one aspect, the most important issue is public security.
Fortunately, his immediate boss, Master Yin, was very powerful and directly transferred a team of troops from the Forbidden Army to take over. Master Tang was relieved.
The Imperial Hospital was also very busy. Even though it was only such a short distance from Daoxuandu Temple of the Imperial Palace, they did not dare to neglect it. They had to bring emergency medicine, as well as the emergency physician.
As a female imperial physician, Zhou Man took over the task of following the Queen Mother at all times.
The emperor went with the Queen Mother, so it was hard for the Queen to go. Even Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu didn't go, for fear of increasing the burden on the court.
Finally, the emperor and the prince served the queen mother and went to Xuandu Temple.
Early in the morning, Man Bao put on his official uniform and went to the Queen Mother's Palace to pick up the Queen Mother. Together with everyone else, he carefully carried her to the carriage, then carried her all the way to the honor guard and served her on the carriage.
Man Bao and the eldest maid who served the Queen Mother followed the Queen Mother, kneeling on the left and right in the car. He glanced at the chambermaids and maids standing outside and breathed a big sigh of relief.
The Queen Mother leaned on the pillow, looked outside the curtain, and asked, "When will we set off?"
The eldest palace maid then asked the people under the car, who ran to the front to ask. After a while, they jogged back and said, "Your Majesty is here. You can set off immediately."
The emperor also rode in a car, and the prince escorted them on horseback.
Many people knelt down to watch the excitement along the way. Manbao originally thought she would be very happy, but the Queen Mother's breathing was not steady along the way, which scared her so much that she focused on looking at the Queen Mother's face with her heart in her hands.
, there was no time to pay attention to what was happening on the street.
When we arrived at the Xuandu Temple, everyone at Xuandu Temple had been alerted and arranged. The owner of the temple and a group of people were waiting at the gate of the mountain. The Queen Mother was helped onto the chariot. The emperor and the prince each supported the chariot on one side and escorted the Queen Mother up the mountain.
Man Bao followed behind and couldn't help but ask Xiao Yuanzheng in a low voice, "Is this the same when Your Majesty goes to Huguo Temple?"
Xiao Yuanzheng replied in a low voice: "It's worse than that."
After all, many ministers opposed the admonition this time, so the cost was reduced a lot.
Man Bao thought, no wonder Master Wei and the others would object.
She looked back at the road that she had walked many times from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Not to mention the officials, chamberlains and maids following behind, there were five steps and one post on both sides of the road. She thought to herself, just
I don’t know how much manpower and money this trip will cost.
If only I could come here a few more times a year...
Man Bao suddenly remembered, yes, although the Queen Mother and the Emperor mostly used their own private money when giving rewards, the money for travel was paid by the state treasury.
Man Bao pouted and followed the Queen Mother's chariot to the main hall.
Man Bao immediately stepped forward, and the prince also recognized his interest and gave up his position to her.
Manbao and the emperor supported the queen mother while secretly feeling her pulse.
The Queen Mother walked down from the chariot tremblingly and leaned against the emperor a little weakly. She raised her head and glanced at the statue of Lao Tzu in the main hall, gasping and asked: "Is this statue of Lao Tzu suitable for molding?"
The viewer following behind immediately stepped forward to explain.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded slightly, and then sat on the futon with the support of the Emperor and Zhou Man. However, the futon was not stable for her. The eldest maid took two steps quickly, knelt down, stretched out her hand to support the Queen Mother's waist, and directly touched the futon.
Hold her back half as hard.
Man Bao also felt tired from squatting, so he simply knelt down and sat down, putting his hand on the Queen Mother's hand.
Queen Mother:……
The position of the three people next to each other made the Queen Mother very uncomfortable, especially Zhou Man, whose hand was firmly clasped on hers.
She tried to shake him off twice but couldn't get rid of him. The two of them fought secretly for a while, but Zhou Man still put his hand on her pulse. The Queen Mother had never seen such a disgusting doctor, which made her think and watch.
The Lord cannot even speak well.
Xiao Yuan was watching from the side and nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately, there was a female imperial physician. Otherwise, who among them would have dared to hold the Queen Mother's hand all the time?
