Chapter 2337 Suggestions
Yang Heshu glanced at him and smiled, "You should go back. If you can get back to the capital before the New Year, that would be great. But if you can't, that's fine. If you can get back to the capital on the second or third day of the New Year, His Majesty might be more at ease."
After all, they were also rushing to Beijing during the New Year, so they could barely show that they were not deliberately delaying time.
Although the time they spent is not very convincing.
Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao and couldn't help but ask Yang Heshu, "Your Majesty is so angry?"
Yang Heshu said unhappily, "What do you think?"
He said, "Zhi He said that General Ashina praised you again and again after he returned, and also said that you were separated in Shazhou City, and that because you brought more people with you, your speed was slow."
"Your Majesty originally thought that you were slow and should have returned to the capital in five or six days. However, it's been almost half a month and you still haven't made any progress."
"By the way, perhaps you don't know yet, General Guo returned home with his coffin, passing through Xiazhou seven days ago. He should be in the capital by now," Yang Heshu said. "I asked General Guo about his departure time, and he left Xizhou three days after you did, and he's already back in the capital. What do you think His Majesty is thinking of you?"
Manbao and the others were shocked at first, then delighted, "General Guo is carrying the coffin back to his hometown?"
Yang Heshu responded. This matter was no secret in the court for a long time. It was just that Zhou Man and his men were far away from the center of the court and were always on the road, so they didn't hear about it.
"Your Majesty felt remorse shortly after Protector Chai left, so he issued a new imperial decree, reinstating General Guo and sending someone to welcome him back to the capital for mourning."
The emperor has always been kind to his meritorious officials. When many military generals who followed him through life and death died, the emperor would ask the Ministry of Rites to arrange their funerals, and he would even often attend the funerals himself to show his condolences.
Yang Heshu said, "Your Majesty is much more soft-hearted now than before."
In the past, if a military general had made such a big mistake, he would never have let it go so easily, let alone changing his orders every day and quickly withdrawing his own order.
"But don't take advantage of His Majesty's softness and act recklessly. You've indeed wasted too much time on the road this time. Be prepared to apologize when you return."
Manbao, Baishan and others could only agree reluctantly.
Yang Heshu couldn't help but smile after seeing this. "Faults are faults, but merits are merits. I heard you found a recipe for the cowpox vaccination this time?"
Manbao nodded and briefly explained the process and effects of vaccination.
Yang Heshu seemed to be lost in thought. He asked, "Can I see your data and medical records?"
Those were important data. Manbao said it was no problem and she could show him the booklet later.
Manbao felt his hand being grabbed. He lowered his head and saw Brother Qi, who was staring curiously at the red tourmaline in Manbao's hand.
This is the red tourmaline that Bai Shan bought after going to three shops. There are four strings in total, which are overlapped and wrapped around her hand. It is particularly beautiful and eye-catching.
Well, it also attracts the attention of children.
Manbao stretched out his arm in front of his eyes and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"
Cui laughed and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this child. He's obviously a boy, but he likes this kind of jewelry and cosmetics."
She looked at Yang Heshu with some worry. In fact, she also wanted to ask Manbao privately whether the child was sick.
Manbao said happily, "Children like shiny things. If he likes it, let him play with it. But you have to watch him closely. You can look at these things, but you can't put them in your mouth."
Manbao thought about it and felt that there would always be a time when people would slack off, so he said, "Xue's wife, you can use some brightly colored fabrics to make some toys for him. Children like brightly colored and shiny things. If these are not easy for him to play with, just give him something suitable to play with."
Cui was stunned and asked, "Is this normal?"
"Yes, it's human nature," Manbao said. "Everyone loves beauty. Children just can't hide their feelings yet, so they express it more obviously."
Cui turned her head to look at her son who was leaning against Yang Heshu's legs, then raised her head to look at her husband's face.
Yang Heshu was originally smiling, but he couldn't help but pause when he saw his wife's expression.
Cui was jealous and couldn't help pursing her lips. She pinched her son's face with her fingers. What a heartless boy! She obviously spent the most time with him every day and often took him out to play, but as long as his father appeared, he would always stick to his father more.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but now she felt so sad.
Manbao didn't know what she was thinking. He happily took out a box and opened it to show Cui, "Look, Sister Xue, these are the things we give you."
The gifts were given by everyone, and Yang Heshu also received a nice piece of raw jade. It had been opened and the quality was good, but it had not been polished.
Bai Shan said, "We saw two pieces of jade like this at the time. They were of good quality, so we thought of giving one to each of our senior brothers Yang and Tang. They can design whatever they want and have the craftsmen make it for them."
Yang Heshu was pleasantly surprised when he saw the white jade. "It is indeed very beautiful. Thank you."
What Cui received was a box of gems, all of which were personally selected by Manbao.
She smiled and said, "This is really a local specialty."
Manbao and his friends brought quite a few gifts for their relatives and friends, plus some things they planned to keep and use themselves and not sell, so the total amount was quite a lot.
Everyone went to rummage through the luggage, but in the end, they felt reluctant to part with any of it. Even Yin Huo urged Manbao, "Wait until your niece comes and ask her if she can go back with us."
Zhou Lijun had only just learned this from Xiang Ming when it was almost dark. She had her hair in a bun, and it was obvious she was married. As soon as she entered the house, she rushed over and hugged her sister, then went to look for Zhou Man, "Where's my aunt?"
Zhou Liru blushed and said excitedly, "My aunt is talking to Lord Yang in the study, Second Sister..."
She glanced at Xiang Mingxue who followed in and asked in a low voice, "Are you married to your second brother-in-law?"
Zhou Lijun tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "You're silly! You already call him your second brother-in-law. How can I not marry him?"
Xiang Mingxue stepped forward with a smile and saluted his sister-in-law. Zhou Liru hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "My sister-in-law is in the study talking to Lord Yang about the cowpox. I will take you to see our luggage first."
Zhou Lijun: "What's so good about the luggage?"
When she turned around the yard and saw the luggage piled in the car and the yard, she opened her mouth wide, "Are these all your luggage?"
I brought enough luggage when I went there, so why do I need three or four times more when I come back?
Zhou Liru said, "Yes, there are things we bought for ourselves, and some for relatives and friends. The rest are for sale. Second sister, you don't know, we encountered a horse thieves' den on the way. There are many treasures in it. If we don't take them, it will be bad, so we have a little more things."
