Chapter 1679 is different (a reward to the book friend "Anxin Black Sesame Paste")
Gao You and the other two became even quieter because... the relationship between Goguryeo and Silla was really not very good.
Bai Erlang and Manbao were discussing the matter with great interest, and obviously did not know the inside story, but Bai Shan knew.
He quickly interrupted the two of them and brought the topic back to the topic, "Have you decided which college you want to go to?"
Generally speaking, students from vassal states mostly went to the Four Gates Academy and the Imperial Academy.
Gao You and the other two paused, then smiled bitterly and said, "The Honglu Temple hasn't been decided yet."
This is also one of the reasons why they were very enthusiastic when they heard that Bai Shan was a student of the Imperial College. Before, the relationship between Silla, Goguryeo and the Celestial Empire was not very harmonious. This time they sent tribute, and although the Honglu Temple accepted it, it did not respond to their request immediately.
They could sense that the Honglu Temple was reluctant to allow them to enter the Imperial College, but it did not put too much pressure on the two doctors they brought to apply for admission to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and seemed to have already agreed.
However, what they learned in the Imperial Medical Bureau was just the art of craftsmanship, while what they learned in the Imperial Academy was the art of governing the state, so they still wanted to enter the Imperial Academy more.
Man Bao, one of the important members of the Imperial Medical Bureau: ...
Although the other party spoke very vaguely, she could still hear their disdain for the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Manbao hummed in her heart, thinking that what Xiao Yuanzheng said was right. These people didn't speak Chinese very well, and she had difficulty listening to them now. If she joined the Imperial Medical Bureau, she would have to learn the language and writing again, which would be too troublesome. It would be better not to recruit them.
Gao You and the other two knew nothing about this. They told Bai Shan and the others about their troubles, hoping that they would help them plead with the Honglu Temple to allow them to enter the Imperial College as soon as possible.
Bai Shan looked at Mingda and Changyu. Mingda was fine, but Changyu felt sorry for Lou Mian who had been wronged, so he said, "I'll mention it to Liang Shaoqing later."
The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple was named Liang.
Manbao couldn't help but look at Lou Mian, then at Changyu, and sighed to Keke, "Beauty is indeed the downfall of a country."
Koko: ...
Bai Erlang thought so too. He sat diagonally opposite Manbao and Bai Shan and couldn't help winking at them.
Bai Shan glared at him and told him to be quiet. Gao You on the side was already surprised. He didn't know Chang Yu's identity, but the fact that she could say this showed that her status was not low and she could speak.
So he quickly bowed and thanked him.
Chang Yu stared at Lou Mian. Lou Mian felt her gaze and blushed slightly. After being kicked by Gao You, he stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.
After sitting down again, Gao You couldn't help feeling happy, and started asking Bai Shan and others about the Imperial College.
There was nothing to hide about this. Bai Shan and Bai Cheng had studied there before, so they were quite familiar with it. They talked to Gao You and the other two about the Imperial Academy, while Gao You and the other two told Zhou Man about the various medicinal herbs that were abundant in Goguryeo. Mingda and Changyu were curious about the people of their country and the popular clothing there...
Since everyone gets what they want, they naturally have a pleasant conversation.
The eight of them didn't go anywhere in the afternoon. They just sat in the box drinking tea and chatting. When the palace attendants couldn't help but remind the two princesses of the time, they reluctantly stood up and said, "It's getting late. We have to go back."
Manbao then looked outside and found that it was really late, so he stood up and said, "Then we should prepare to say goodbye."
Chang Yu glanced at Lou Mian reluctantly. She didn't know when they would see each other again. She sighed and turned to Man Bao and said, "Please come and play with us again next time."
Manbao: "...I will come to play with you the day after tomorrow."
Chang Yu pouted and said, "That's not what I'm talking about."
Manbao said, "A little goes a long way. Don't go too far. You've ruined the good impression I have in front of Keke and the others. I won't be able to lead you guys out in the future."
Mingda nodded repeatedly and also advised her sister, "Sister, let's go home first. The next winter solstice is a big festival. Maybe we can go out and play before the winter solstice."
Chang Yu thought this was a good idea, so he looked at Lou Mian and the other two, said goodbye and left.
Lou Mian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and together with Gao Youxingxuan, he sent them downstairs.
A servant brought their horses up, and the two men mounted their horses. They looked down at them and nodded slightly, then rode away with the servants.
Gao You glanced at the dozen or so followers following behind them, his eyes flashed slightly, and he turned to look at Bai Shan and his companions, only to see a carriage and several horses parked on the side, with several guards standing by with their heads bowed.
Gao You immediately asked with a smile, "Mr. Bai, I don't know where your home is. I'd like to meet you next time."
Bai Shan turned around and took a door sticker from Daji and handed it to him, saying with a smile: "My home is in Chongyuanfang. Envoy Gao is looking for Zhou's house. We all live there."
Gao You knew that the people living in Chongyuanfang were all nobles, so he became even more respectful to the three people.
Of course, Gao You also gave them a copy of their door card, although they didn't really need it.
Then Gao You watched the three of them get on the carriage and leave. Daji drove the carriage for them, and the guards rode one horse and took Bai Shan and Bai Cheng's horses home together.
After the carriage drove away, Bai Shancai lowered the curtain and said to Manbao, "Princess Changyu loves beauty so much, and you brought her to see beauties. What if something happens?"
"Nothing will happen," Man Bao said confidently. "There are so many beauties in the world. Although Changyu loves beauty, she is also a princess. She knows what she can and cannot do. What's more, in terms of beauty, Lou Mian is not as good as Brother Yang. Even you and Yin Huo are not as good as her. She will not do anything wrong."
Bai Erlang added, "And me."
Manbao and Baishan turned to look at him.
Bai Erlang straightened his chest slightly and said seriously, "Teacher once said that beauty lies not only in appearance, but also in talent and character. As for character, we are still young, so let's not talk about it. As for talent, Lou Mian and the other two can't compare to me. Besides, I'm not bad looking, am I?"
After saying that, she smoothed a strand of hair and turned her head to look at Bai Shan and Man Bao.
Manbao made a vomiting gesture, and Bai Shan simply punched him down and hit him several times, shouting, "If you make that gesture again, I'll send you to be Ma Fuming's companion next time."
Bai Erlang shouted, "You know what it means to be delicate? Isn't Lou Mian like that?"
"That's not the case," Manbao said, "You're being pretentious, and he's being gentle."
At this time, Chang Yu, who was riding back to the palace, was also talking to Ming Da about Lou Mian, "He is really white, even whiter than us girls."
Mingda nodded, "I see that his health doesn't seem to be too good, but he is whiter than us. However, I don't think he has Yin or Bai."
Chang Yu sighed, "Not only is he not as good as Yin Huobai, he's also a little less talented. I didn't like Yin Huo before, thinking he was even more delicate than us women, and he was also a crybaby."
"I remember a few years ago when I went to my eldest sister's house for a wedding banquet, I saw him in the backyard. It was just a few sarcastic remarks made by two cousins from my eldest sister's husband's family, and he burst into tears on the spot." Chang Yu snorted, "If he had cursed back or hit me on the spot, I would have respected him as a hero, but he ended up crying with red eyes, which I felt bad. At that time, my father said that if he were not in poor health, he would have wanted to marry into the Yin family. I don't want to marry such a weak person."
"But the Yin Huo I saw at Manbao's house today seemed a little different from the ones I've seen before," Changyu said. "However, Lou Mian is truly gentle, but Yin Huo, as for me, is probably like pinching a rose branch in dough, very prickly."
Mingda burst into laughter upon hearing this and asked, "Sister, are you holding a beauty pageant or a royal consort?"
"Of course it's a beauty pageant, Prince Consort. Well, that's up to the Emperor," Chang Yu sighed. "The Emperor wants to marry me off to the sons of his good and meritorious officials."
Seeing that she was unhappy, Mingda asked, "Sister, don't you like them?"
"We all grew up together, so who doesn't know what everyone is like? I don't like it, not at all."
Mingda was curious, "So what kind does sister like?"
"I like men who are strong, majestic, and masculine, but look at the men Father mentioned. Is there any one like that?"
Mingda was shocked and couldn't help asking, "Sister, do you like that? But, but..."
But Yang Heshu and Lou Mian are not like that...
Mingda was puzzled, his eyes full of confusion.
Chang Yu looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighed, "This is just wishful thinking. I'd be content if I could postpone the marriage for two years."
See you tomorrow
