Chapter 1592 Letter
For a full eighteen days, Prince Gong spent every day feeling tired and hungry. Because he was always hungry, he had no extra energy to think about the affairs of the court and the palace.
By the time he finally waited for Zhou Man to take leave and leave the palace, and could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the prince's reputation had improved a lot.
The court officials naturally did not know the content of Mr. Zhuang's class, because what Mr. Zhuang said to the prince was quite outrageous, so Eunuch Wu kept the doors and windows tightly guarded.
Later, the prince deliberately asked Eunuch Wu to guard the doors and windows.
After all, Chongwenguan is located in the Eastern Palace, and it is a place for teaching. Although there are many people and eyes, few people would deliberately take the risk to peek at Mr. Zhuang teaching the prince.
Because it's not worth it.
Zhuang Xun has no power or influence, and his rank is not high. Even if he stands completely by the prince's side, how much benefit can he bring to the prince?
In comparison, the ministers like Wei Zhi who came to teach the prince were obviously more worthy of attention.
Because as long as they get closer to the prince, they can also get involved in their clique activities. Of course, so far, they have not caught this handle.
Among these people, there are those who are unwilling to give up, including those who are from the Gong Wang faction, and those who really hate Wei Zhi, Old Lord Tang, Minister Li and others. Anyway, everyone has a smile on their face every day, and no one knows what is going on in their hearts.
Bai Shan and the others completed the task perfectly. When they met Man Bao, they found that they were both black, and they immediately burst into laughter.
Bai Shan asked her curiously, "Why are you darker too?"
Man Bao said, "I went to watch Prince Gong climb the mountain every day, and took the opportunity to dig up a lot of plants. Although there was shade from the trees, it was also very hot, so I got dark."
She looked him up and down and said happily, "But I think you are darker than me."
Bai Shan said: "We get more sun exposure than you, and you also have rouge on, so of course you are whiter than me."
The two of them walked out of the palace while talking. The prince sympathized with them for not being home for a long time, so he allowed them to leave the palace one night early.
Manbao didn't care whether he was there or not. As soon as he came back from Daming Palace and heard the news, he immediately packed up his things and left the palace.
She followed the seven of them and even managed to sneak out of the palace. Because they often went in and out together, the imperial guards guarding the palace gates didn't think there was anything wrong.
In fact, the next day was a day off.
Manbao was talking as she led the horse and Baishan out of the palace. As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, she couldn't help but look back. Baishan pulled her and said, "Let's go."
Manbao then hurriedly jumped on his horse and ran away after Bai Shan and Bai Erlang.
Yin Huo was still sitting in the carriage. The three of them ran to Yin Huo's carriage and greeted him, "If you are bored at home, come and play with us."
Yin Huo felt that he might not want to go out in the next two days, but would rather lie down at home and rest.
Bai Shan and the other two rode past him and rode out of the imperial city, heading towards Chongyuanfang.
When she got home, she found Daji and the others were already waiting. Fang didn't expect Manbao to come back with her, so she immediately came out to greet him happily, "Auntie, come quickly, there's a letter from home."
Manbao immediately dropped his horse and ran forward, "Where's the letter?"
Bai Dalang on the side said silently: "It's here with me."
Everyone then noticed Bai Dalang standing nearby and immediately asked, "Where's the master?"
Bai Dalang: "...Mr. Jiang was so happy to have a grandson that he took me out for a drink. I just received a message that Mr. Jiang will probably stay at the Jiang family tonight."
Manbao's attention returned to the letter, and he hurriedly asked, "What did my family's letter say?"
Bai Dalang pointed to the guard beside him and said, "See? It just arrived. The letter is still warm and we haven't had time to open it yet."
So he gave one of the two letters in his hand to Manbao and opened his own letter himself.
Bai Shan didn't have one, because his family was in the capital.
Manbao and Bai Dalang opened the letter simultaneously, and soon they both screamed, "Oh my God, my parents are coming to the capital!"
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were both startled. One ran to Manbao to read the letter, and the other went to Bai Dalang to read the letter.
The two of them scanned it at a glance. At the same time, Bai Dalang and Manbao also widened their eyes nervously and read it again from the beginning. After confirming it, they felt shocked both physically and mentally.
After the shock, Manbao was overjoyed and wanted to jump up and cheer, "My parents are coming! My brother and sister-in-law are coming too!"
Bai Dalang couldn't help but look at Bai Erlang. Both brothers were a little nervous and didn't dare to think too deeply about it.
Bai Erlang quickly recovered, swallowed, and looked at his elder brother sympathetically, "Brother, Dad's letter said that this trip was mainly for your marriage, and they brought the bride along this time."
Bai Dalang relieved Bai Erlang of some of the pressure and said, "That's not entirely true. Dad also said that he was very happy to know that you were admitted to Chongwenguan, so he also wanted to come to Beijing to see you. I'm afraid he will also supervise you."
Bai Shan was as happy as Manbao. He also liked Old Zhou very much. Of course, he liked Mrs. Zhou the most.
Fang and the others were also surprised, and then immediately came forward, but they didn't know many words, so they thought of asking Bai Dalang to help read it.
"Auntie, did the letter say when they would arrive in the capital, and how many people were there?"
Manbao said, "Only my eldest brother and his wife came with my parents. The letter said they were coming to Beijing to see me and to help my sixth brother find a wife."
Manbao said happily: "Dad must have known that I became an official, so he came to see me specially."
Fang thought so too, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Then we need to clear out the two courtyards at the back. That way, we can live in one, and Mr. Bai's family can also live in another."
Mrs. Lu said, "We need to prepare the straw mats, quilts, and cabinets."
Fang said, "Oh, right, we have to tell Lijun and the others. They're still in the restaurant and don't know anything."
Li Ru, who had just returned from Jishitang exhausted, immediately said, "I'll go tell my fifth uncle and second sister. Aunt, only my eldest uncle and aunt are here. My parents aren't here, right?"
"No, my second brother and his wife and my third brother and his wife are staying at home."
Zhou Liru breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, it was good that her mother didn’t come.
Zhou Liru ran out happily, asked a servant to drive him to the restaurant.
As soon as she left, Manbao finally had time to study her father's letter. As she read it, she realized something was wrong. "When was this letter written?"
Bai Dalang also noticed something was wrong and turned to look at the guard who delivered the letter.
The guard finally found Kong to talk to. He said weakly, "Master, I was sick when I arrived in Shangzhou, so I stayed there for five days. When the letter was delivered, the master said they would leave the next day."
Everyone: ...
The speed of a single rider and a caravan is naturally different, but no matter how big the difference is, it only takes nine days for a carriage to get from Luojiang County to the capital. Even if Old Zhou and his companions are older and slower, it should still take eleven or twelve days.
After a few people calculated the time, they were surprised to find that today was already the eleventh day.
Bai Shan said, "Then my cousin and his family should arrive in a day or two, right?"
