Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Bai Shan kept dinner for Man Bao and kept it warm in her room.

Taking advantage of the fact that the courtyard gate in the palace was locked and could walk freely, Bai Shan followed her to her room, watched her take the food off the stove, and said, "Sir, there is no class today, so I watched it in the library. One day of books, I heard people say that Chongwen Museum did not arrange other tasks for Mr.

Man Bao said: "Don't worry, when they know what your master is capable of, they will let him participate in book repair."

The lecturers at the Chongwen Museum do not just give lectures to them, but also do some editing or commentary work at ordinary times.

I also do some text research, etc., and occasionally I go to the Zhanshifu to help find and organize materials, just like the bachelor in the Hongwen Museum going to the Sixth Servant or the Imperial Walk.

Also very busy.

But now Mr. Zhuang is very leisurely.

It's not a good thing to have a leisurely job, it means that your ability is not recognized. But Man Bao didn't think there was anything wrong. When she first became a doctor, she was very leisurely. Few patients were willing to see her for treatment, but as time passed, her ability was revealed. Not only the patients liked to look for her, but even the doctors liked to look for her.

"So time can witness everything," Man Bao said, "Just wait, sir, you won't be in a hurry."

Mr. Zhuang is not in a hurry. He also enjoys reading books in the library every day. He only has two classes in three days, one "Book of Filial Piety" and one "Tao Te Ching", and the prince has not yet taken the "Tao Te Ching". Say what you want to say, no taboos.

Not to mention, apart from being rather tangled when speaking of the "Book of Filial Piety", Mr. Zhuang has no worries.

After seeing Mr. Zhuang's gray beard, the editors of Chongwen Museum, who were a little despised by him, couldn't instruct him to do rough work like a newcomer, even if they upheld the tradition of respecting the old and caring for the young.

After all, Confucian wine is a museum thing, and the waiters in the Chongwen Museum also learn more Confucian classics, but they can't be old and old, but they can still do it.

What's more, there are still three direct disciples in the Chongwen Hall, not to mention Zhou Man's official rank, even in terms of Bai Shan's face, no one will deliberately embarrass him.

Not bad, on Bai Shan's face.

Although he has only been in school for less than a month, the lecturers in the hall have already discovered Bai Shan's intelligence. Except for the occasional questions that are difficult for them to answer, this child is really smart.

Even Yang Heshu couldn't help saying to the magistrate Tang in private, "If he had been born ten years earlier, he would just be able to make a pair with you and go to the Imperial College together, and Kong Jijiu might not really be able to resist expelling both of you. Study abroad."

The county magistrate Tang knew how tricky Bai Shan was when he heard it, and couldn't help laughing.

A few days later, when he entered the palace for office, he couldn't help but turn to Chongwen Hall to see them, "The melons and fruits in my village have ripened a lot, but it's a pity that you are all in the palace, otherwise I can send you some."

Man Bao was still thinking about the melons that the emperor ate, and asked, "Are there any melons?"

The magistrate Tang couldn't help laughing, nodding and saying, "I didn't have it before, but now there are many people selling melons in Beijing, you want to eat it, and I'll buy some for you when you leave the palace next time. "

At this time last year, Manbao and the others hadn't come to Beijing yet, so they didn't know that the capital was rich in melons at this time, so they couldn't help asking, "Are the melons in Beijing so early?"

"No," Tang county magistrate suppressed a smile and said, "That is to say, some Zhuangzi have been planted in the house or near the warm soup in advance, and the others will have to wait for another ten or so before they come out."

"Then why are they sold on the streets of the capital?" Will people who can grow melons near Wentang sell them outside?

And the price is probably not comparable to ordinary melons, right?

The county magistrate Tang said with a smile: "Originally, most of these melons were kept for myself to eat or give as gifts, and they didn't make much money by selling them, but since yesterday, a lot of traders have appeared in the capital, holding melons and saying that they are your Majesty's capital. The melon I like to eat costs half a tael of silver."

Of course, Master Tang would not eat such expensive melons, but when Bai Shan and the others go to rest again, it will be the first day of the sixth lunar month. At that time, the first batch of melons grown in the fields should be ripe, and the price will definitely come down. , it's okay to invite them to eat a few.

Man Bao stopped talking immediately. She went to the Daming Palace to see the Crown Princess in the past two days, and she deliberately walked around the main hall, so as not to encounter the emperor.

She put the emperor's bad stomach in the file, and kept her mouth shut with Xiao Yuanzheng, who knew about it. It was obvious that she only told Bai Shan, and Bai Shan didn't say anything, but the courtiers knew about it.

Man Bao and Xiao Yuan were inquiring about it, and they knew that the next day the emperor went to court as usual, and there was nothing to do all day. Man Bao even went to give him another acupuncture.

As a result, in the afternoon, officials from Menxia Province went to the Taiyuan Hospital to check the medical records and checked the medical records newly entered by the emperor.

Of course, the officials of the province at that time did not take it too seriously, and Xiao Yuanzheng also hinted that His Majesty did not want too many people to know about this matter, but after a night, Wei Zhi and other courtiers still knew about it.

When courtiers like Zhao Guogong knew about this, they would at most laugh at the emperor face to face. Is the melon delicious?

In the end, Wei Zhi went to Daming Palace to block the emperor's advice, thinking that if he didn't take care of his own body, he didn't take care of the country; as an emperor, he didn't even have the ability to control himself. When doing things, it is obvious that you must forget the original intention of running the government.

He thought that he had to sound the alarm for the emperor to prevent him from falling step by step and becoming more and more indulgent.

So scolded the emperor to hide his face and apologize, and this matter was over.

But the emperor was in a very bad mood for the past two days, and he scolded several people, especially those in the capital who did not know how to eat melons. He could scold him again at any time.

However, the emperor did not expect that it was not Wei Zhi who was scolding him this time, but Lord Tang.

The magistrate Tang said with a smile: "My father wrote a letter today, thinking that this ethos in the capital is because the superiors are good and the inferiors must be more important, so Your Majesty will act more cautiously in his words and deeds in the future. Today, some people buy melons at high prices because Your Majesty loves melons. , then there may be someone with will in the future who will pluck the wheat and destroy the rice in order to plant your Majesty's beloved melon, just to plant melon."

Man Bao was stunned, "So serious?"

Even Bai Shan was surprised, "Who would do that?"

Tang county magistrate smiled and said: "A melon is half a tael of silver, and two are one tael. One acre of wheat can't sell for so much money. The people are so ignorant, they don't think that there are too many melons and they can't sell it. They only You can see the price in front of you, you said that with such a high price of melons, are you planting wheat or melons?"

Of course it was a melon.

There is a small Zhuangzi, and Bai Shan and Man Bao, who also love money, secretly replied in their hearts.

Tang county magistrate said: "Your Majesty asked me to enter the palace today for this reason."

This is the "blood case" caused by melons. I wanted to save the manuscript yesterday, but I ran to eat the melon and didn't want to code, so I didn't save the manuscript.

But I will try to add more today, the next update will be around 4:00 pm
