Chapter 3210 A Family of Three
Zhou Man was traveling around today, so he didn't let Daji follow him.
She came to the Imperial Medical Bureau in Xiao Yuanzheng's carriage, and Xiao Yuanzheng sent her back to Zhou's house. "I won't be seeing you off tomorrow, Master Zhou. Take care on your journey."
Zhou Man agreed with a smile.
Liu Sanniang and Zhou Liru had already arrived home early. When Liu Sanniang heard that Zhou Man was in the Imperial Medical Bureau that afternoon, she smiled and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have stayed a little longer and could have come back with Master."
Zhou Man then told the story of the five young men and said, "Dean Xiao and I have agreed that from now on, we will have an examination on the school rules every six months. Not only the students, but also the teachers will be tested."
Liu Sanniang, who was working part-time as a doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau, said: "...Master, although you haven't been in the Imperial Medical Bureau for the past two years, you are still the most prestigious teacher in the school."
Zhou Man raised his eyebrows happily: "Really?"
"Yes, because one-third of the textbooks currently used in the Imperial Medical Bureau were written by you. The exam questions you sent back last year made many students miserable. Once the school rules are announced, even more students will talk about you."
Zhou Man said, "One of my wishes is to become like Confucius and Mencius. All scholars must read Confucius and Mencius. In the future, all those who study medicine must read the books written by me, Zhou Man."
Zhou Liru smiled and said, "My aunt has realized it now."
Mr. Zhuang smiled as he listened and handed a booklet to Zhou Man.
Zhou Man took it with a puzzled look on his face, "Isn't this the academic rule of our Imperial Medical Bureau?"
"Yes, since you're going to be tested, you should memorize it again. It's best to copy it down several times and memorize it deeply."
Zhou Man flipped open the booklet and thought seriously, "Sir, has anything I done recently violated the school rules?"
Mr. Zhuang shook his head. "Although you always talk a lot, you certainly haven't said anything you shouldn't. But since it's a school rule, you must keep it in mind. Moreover, you participated in setting it, so you must remember it even more. Only then can you remember your original intention."
"I'll be bored on the way to Qingzhou, so I'll just memorize it and copy it down," Mr. Zhuang said. "Make two copies. Keep one for yourself, and send the other one along with your next letter. I'll check it."
Zhou Man didn't expect that she would find a job of copying books. She was not bored anymore. She could read medical books and attend Teacher Mo's class in the teaching room. She was very busy.
But she didn't dare not complete the homework assigned by Mr. Zhuang, so she agreed silently.
The next day, Zhou Man said goodbye to everyone and left the capital, and only Zhou Silang accompanied them to the city gate.
He said, "I still need to import some goods, so I won't set off again in a few days."
Zhou Man nodded, waved to him, and got into the car.
We rode horses on the way back. Zhou Man was not in a hurry, so he basically spent the whole time in the carriage. He only got off and rode for a while to relax when he got tired.
In the car, Zhou Man could read some manuscripts and medical books, or he could lean on the pillow and immerse his mind in studying in the classroom.
When she stopped the car to stay overnight in the evening, she would light a lamp to copy the school rules and compile medical books. It can be said that her life was extremely fulfilling.
She didn't feel much and didn't even have time to take a look at the beautiful scenery around her before entering Qingzhou.
Dajile stopped the car and asked, "Madam, do you want to stay in Qingzhou City?"
Zhou Man suddenly missed Bai Shan and the child very much. He hadn't felt much before, but now that he was not far away from her, he missed her very much. "Don't stop, let's go back directly."
Daji responded happily, cracked the whip, and the horse galloped away, passing through Qingzhou City, going out from another city gate, getting on the official road and heading directly to Beihai County.
It was already evening when they entered the city. The streets were crowded with people coming out to eat, so Daji had to slow down the car.
Bai Shan was holding his daughter and picking things in front of a stall. The originally well-behaved daughter suddenly turned her head, hugged Bai Shan's neck and rolled back hard. She didn't know what she saw, but she struggled violently in his arms. The little fat girl pointed at a place and screamed.
Bai Shan hugged her and looked in the direction she pointed. He saw a group of people coming towards them not far away. The people riding on the horses were obviously the guards of the Bai family, and the one driving the carriage was Daji.
Bai Shan's eyes lit up instantly. He picked up his daughter and gently tossed her up, patting her little bottom and praising her: "Big sister, you have a sharp eye. You saw your mother at a glance. Let's go and pick her up."
Zhou Man seemed to sense something as well. She opened the curtain and peeked out. She saw the father and daughter approaching, avoiding the crowd. She immediately knocked on the car wall and said, "Stop! Stop now."
Daji also saw Bai Shan and stopped the car to let Zhou Man get out.
Zhou Man jumped out of the car and ran towards the father and daughter. The three of them hugged each other and were extremely happy.
Daji waited until their excitement subsided before saying, "Master, Madam, we're going back first."
Zhou Man waved his hand and said, "Go back, go back, tell your family that I'm going to play outside for a while before coming back."
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Don't tell the family to prepare her dinner. We will eat outside."
Zhou Man checked the time and asked, "Haven't you eaten yet?"
"We ate it, but you didn't."
Bai Shan held his daughter in one hand and held her hand with the other, pushing through the crowd and heading towards the restaurant.
After going up to the box on the second floor, Bai Shan put his daughter in Zhou Man's arms.
Bai Jingxing hadn't seen his mother for a while. At this moment, he was touching his mother's face curiously, and he even leaned over to kiss her without any instruction.
Zhou Man dodged, pinched her face and said with a smile: "Mom just came back from outside, she is exhausted, you can't kiss her."
She weighed it and asked in surprise, "Has she gained weight again?"
Wu Yue corrected her, "Madam, the young lady has grown up."
Zhou Man took her hand and looked at it. "Look at these little sections, they're almost like lotus root nodes. How can you not be fat?"
Bai Shan glanced at his daughter's face, coughed lightly and said, "You can't say your daughter is fat anymore. She can understand what people say now. You see, she is unhappy."
Zhou Man immediately changed his words, "But chubby ones look good, and our eldest sister is so white."
Bai Shan saw his daughter's face immediately brighten up, and he clapped his hands happily in her arms. He couldn't help but shake his head and laughed, "You are exactly like you in your nature of liking to hear nice things."
"Who in the world doesn't like to hear good words? Don't you like it?" Zhou Man looked at his daughter carefully and said, "However, you can like to hear good words, but you have to listen to bad words too. Bai Jingxing, you are fat. I have to control your diet. Don't take advantage of your young age and be unrestrained."
This sentence was too complicated, Bai Jingxing didn't understand it, and thought her mother was playing with her. She slammed her little butt on her legs a few times, and Zhou Man almost couldn't hold him.
Bai Shan took her in his arms and asked, "How's things going in the capital?"
