After that, Feng Zongping stood up and left, no longer with them.

Zhao Liulang also glanced at Lu Yue and the others, got up and left.

The few people left behind looked at each other, and one of them looked at Lu Yue, "Are we being disliked?"

Lu Yue said irritably: "You ask me who should I ask?"

Before the Jinshi examination, they learned different things, and as the prince got older, although he still had to attend classes at Chongwen Hall every now and then, they, the observers, could not understand many of the classes.

Sometimes the lecturers simply called the prince to another room alone to teach, and they still learned the classics and meaning.

I didn't think it was anything at first, but after taking the Jinshi examination last year, Kong Jijiu began to assign them some work of correcting books.

This kind of work is boring as hell. Reading books is tiring enough, and you also have to correct the books. They almost get a headache when they read the books.

During the four months that Bai Shan and the others went to Xiazhou, they had corrected the book for four months, and now they felt like vomiting when they saw the book. Bai Shan and the others took over the job after they came back, and they seemed to be doing it with gusto.

This comparison makes them look very bad.

Although they are indeed not very good.

Man Bao sat on the observation floor, raised his hand to pour tea for everyone, and asked Bai Shan: "Have your books been corrected today?"

Bai Shan nodded, "It's almost the same. I've copied the book you wanted last time and will give it to you later."

Bai Erlang talked to Mingda, "I heard that there is a kind of ice chrysanthemum in the Western Regions, which is best used to make tea. When the time comes, I will pick it and ask someone to bring it back to you."

Changyu said boredly: "I'll send you ice chrysanthemum all the way. I heard that the gems from the Western Regions are particularly beautiful."

Bai Erlang said: "I will buy it too."

Man Bao also became interested and asked Chang Yu, "Would you like us to bring some for you?"

Changyu perked up and became happy, "I wonder what color it is."

"What color do you like?" She said: "I heard my fourth brother say something. The gems brought by those merchants from the Western Regions are very valuable, and they will keep them for sale. It's not a good idea to sell them first.

The best ones are often kept, and in the end you don’t know who they will be sold to.”

Chang Yu said: "I like red. The brighter the color, the more beautiful it is. Please help me pay attention to it later. If there is any, just buy it and give it to me."

Man Bao nodded, "If I have enough money, I will buy it for you."

When Chang Yu heard this, he was a little unsure of her ability, "When are you leaving? I'll send you some money. Bring more."

Don't be sad if you see a good thing but have no money to buy it.

Mingda said, "Don't bring too much. I heard from my father and the others that you shouldn't reveal your wealth when you go out."

Chang Yu: "Just bring more guards. Who dares to infringe upon my name as Da Jin?"

Bai Shan thought to himself that it was impossible to bring more people. They didn't mind more people, but business trips cost money and there were regulations. The Ministry of Personnel and Taiyuan Hospital Honglu Temple couldn't let them do whatever they wanted.

Sure enough, as soon as the matter of sending an envoy to the Western Regions was brought up, each ministry decided on the number of people for them.

This time, the mission was to find ways to prevent and control smallpox, so the mission was headed by Zhou Man, with Honglu Temple as a subordinate.

Therefore, the emperor directly promoted her to the rank of fifth-rank compiler and envoy, and Zhuang Xun, a traveler from Honglu Temple, was appointed as deputy envoy. When they arrived at Honglu Temple, they selected two more people to accompany them.

The chief envoy can bring two attendants, and the deputy envoy and below all have one attendant. As for the extra ones, the court will not interfere, but it will not be responsible for their food and accommodation.

Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and others all have multiple belts.

The emperor said: "You will think about what else needs to be added after you go back, and just submit a letter to Zhongshu Province."

Man Bao couldn't understand what he said for a moment. After receiving the order and exiting, he asked Yuan Zheng Xiao, "What do you mean, Your Majesty? Can I ask for more people or things?"

Otherwise why ask what else needs to be added?

In fact, she still has a lot to add.

Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at her and said, "Your Majesty, this is not for you, so just go in your left ear and out the right ear, don't take it to your heart."

Man Bao was even more puzzled, "If it's not for me, then who is it for? I am the envoy, this matter is most relevant to me, right?"

Xiao Yuanzheng felt that she was very noisy, so he quickened his pace, "You will know later, why are you asking so many questions? Have you finished what you are doing? You are about to go to the Western Regions, and those who should teach Liu Sanniang must teach her.

In the future, she will take over from you to teach the students, and there are also two chapters of the book you are studying in your hand. Didn’t you say that there are still two chapters that have not been completed? Hurry up, fix them before you go out, they are waiting to be used in school. "

When Man Bao saw Xiao Yuan walking away while talking, she had to jog to catch up, so she couldn't help but stop.

Lucky for her, she couldn't help but snorted twice and turned around to find Mr. Zhuang.

Huh, if you don't tell her, won't she ask Mr. Zhuang?

After hearing this, Mr. Zhuang thought for a moment and then asked, "Has anyone approached you and expressed that he wanted to go to the Western Regions with you?"

Man Bao shook his head, "No, externally we are looking for smallpox. Who would want to go with us?"

Mr. Zhuang then smiled and said: "Then let's put it aside for now. If someone is interested, they will come to you."

Man Bao was confused, but after Mr. Zhuang said this, she could only listen.

Mr. Zhuang put the book aside and asked, "Are you going to live in the palace again?"

"Yes," Man Bao said, "The experiment has ended. Xiao Yuan is asking me to hand over the work to Sanniang as soon as possible. So I have been very busy recently and it is much more convenient to live in the palace."

Mr. Zhuang didn't keep her anymore and let her go.

As soon as Man Bao went out, a guard came forward to stop her, "Master Zhou, we adults would like to see you."

Man Bao looked at him curiously, "Who are you adults?"

Guard: "...Lord Zhou, I am the Forbidden Army."

"Oh, it's Master Yin." Man Bao looked around, "Let's go, where can Master Yin meet me?"

Seeing that she accepted it so well, the guard could only turn around and lead the way, "We adults cannot come to the East Palace, so we are waiting in the West Inner Garden, please."

Manbao then went to Xineiyuan with him.

Yin Li was shooting arrows in the martial arts field. When he saw Zhou Manlai, he shot out the arrow in his hand, then smiled and waved to her, "Master Zhou, come and try too?"

Man Bao stepped forward, looked at the bow in his hand, then at his arm, and shook his head, "I can't draw such a heavy bow."

Yin Li smiled, handed the bow in his hand to the guard, and asked someone to get a small bow, "This one is only five dou, you try it."

Manbao took it in his hand, slowly pulled it open and tried it.

When Yin Li saw that she was able to pull away completely, admiration flashed in his eyes, and he gave her instructions on how to nock an arrow and aim.

Man Bao also learned the Six Arts of the Gentleman. When they were in the village, they used to play with slingshots, and then they learned bows and arrows when they entered Yizhou City.

However, she has learned little. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang have to learn every day. She is just good at it, not proficient.
