Chapter 1122 Hesitation

Chen Fulin returned home, locked himself in the study, and was silent for a long time. He took out a blank booklet, opened it, and raised his hand to study ink.

He picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, but he couldn't write the first word. Chen Fulin hesitated for a long time before putting down the pen.

Mrs. Chen felt that he was a little weird recently. She stayed in the study for a long time today and couldn't come out.

Chen Fulin lowered his eyes, put the blank book aside, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Mrs. Chen vaguely knew that he was angry about this promotion. She was already 80% sure that she would be promoted. She secretly made clothes and jewelry and waited for him to have a banquet after his promotion, but now...

She also felt regretful in her heart, sighed and stepped forward and said, "Master, don't think too much, it won't work this time, we'll just wait for the next time. You are in your prime, and there are opportunities."

Chen Fulin's face was sullen, and he rarely couldn't control his temper: "I've already passed the age of knowing destiny, when will I wait?"

Mrs. Chen was at a loss for words.

Chen Fulin lowered his eyes and said, "You said, how about I apply for an official job?"

Mrs. Chen was startled, and quickly stopped her: "No, sir, didn't you just not get promoted once? There will be more opportunities in the future. If you go to work, what will happen to our son? Back to Beijing."

Chen Fulin was speechless with a sullen face.

His eyes couldn't help but glance at Kong Zhezi on the side, and he kept saying in his heart: She is right, he has really made a career, and his son will also be affected in the future.

Didn't Zhuang Xun say that as long as he doesn't act, he won't pursue it anymore?

At this moment, Chen Fulin believed in Zhuang Xun's character again, and felt that he would not kill them all.

But Man Bao and Bai Shan and Bai Cheng didn't know his psychological changes, and they started counting the days when Chen Fulin left the capital from that night.

The next day, when Man Bao went to the palace to see a doctor, his good mood was still maintained.

The queen took another comfortable nap, and after waking up, she went to see Manbao and Mingda who were sitting and playing together.

Seeing that her mother was awake, Mingda immediately got up and saluted.

The queen pressed her hands and pulled her to sit back on the couch again, without Man Bao's gift, and asked with a smile, "What are you playing?"

Man Bao said: "Mingda taught me to play chess, she is really good."

Mingda pursed his lips and smiled: "My chess skills were taught by my mother."

The queen smiled and stroked her hair, and said to Man Bao, "I feel that Ming Da has a little more flesh on her cheeks in the past two days. The imperial doctor said that her spleen and stomach are indeed stronger. Thank you for the meal recipe. "

Man Bao smiled and said no thanks.

But the queen said: "If you have merit, you should be rewarded. I don't think you are short of money. It's not good to reward you with jewelry and cloth. What reward do you want?"

Man Bao: No, she thinks jewelry and cloth are very good. Not to mention jewelry, that cloth can be used as money directly. The cloth that the queen gave her is very good. One piece can be worth a lot of money.

The fifth brother has already asked about it, and she decided to save a little more so that she can make a lot of money by taking advantage of the fact that many people make new clothes and sell them before the Chinese New Year.

But Manbao was embarrassed to say that to the bright eyes of the empress, so he said, "The empress can give me anything."

The queen smiled and said, "Then let me give you a few posts."

Man Bao: "Post?"

The queen nodded slightly and turned to look at Aunt Shang.

Aunt Shang went to the small study and picked up a few posts. The queen took them and handed them over to Man Bao. She smiled and said, "Tomorrow will be the queen mother, and your majesty will entertain hundreds of officials in the Wude Hall to celebrate the queen mother's birthday. Two junior brothers, why don't I give you a few posts, and you will come to the palace tomorrow to join in the fun."

Man Bao looked at the three posts in his hands in surprise, rolled his eyes and asked, "Has Your Majesty also promised to let us enter the palace?"

The queen looked at her and said meaningfully: "Yes, but I think tomorrow will be the empress dowager. The most important thing for the old man's longevity is to celebrate, don't you think?"

So tomorrow is not a good time to complain.

Man Bao nodded.

After looking at the three posts in her hand, she raised her head and asked, "Niangniang, do you have any posts?"

The queen wondered, "Yin or?"

"It's the youngest son of the Jingzhao Yin family."

The queen understood as soon as she heard it, "It's the seventh son of the Yin family. If he wants to enter the palace, he can enter with his grandmother, but that child is always frail, and it seems that he has never entered the palace."

"He is much better."

Hearing what she said, the queen remembered what the Yin family had done over the years and the rumors outside recently, and smiled at Aunt Shang: "Go get another post for her."

The queen smiled and said, "Okay, in this way, he can enter if he wants, and he can't enter if he doesn't want to."

Man Bao smiled happily and rolled his eyes, "Thank you, Empress."

The queen smiled and shook her head, and said to her: "Your juniors are scholars, let them prepare well. This time there are also many students participating in the Guozi School. The queen mother likes listening to people do poetry. When the time comes, they will perform. Those readers have to show their faces."

Man Bao understood that this was the way the emperor was paving the way for them to complain.

Man Bao smiled and nodded.

She went out of the palace happily with four posts. This time, Mingda followed Aunt Shang to send her off for a while, and spoke on the way.

She took out a silver ingot from her purse and gave it to Manbao. She smiled and said, "You said yesterday that I know that the silver looks like this. This ingot is for you. Please help me buy those bamboo dragonflies you mentioned."

Man Bao was speechless when she saw the silver ingot, she pushed it back and said, "Forget it, keep it yourself, isn't it just some toys, I'll give it to you."

She said, "A bamboo dragonfly is only three cents. You give me 10 taels of silver ingots, and I will buy them. No one can find them."

Mingda was puzzled, "Why can't I find it?"

"Because ten taels of silver are too expensive."

Mingda has never been out of the palace even when she's so old. She's not like a few older sisters. They've been out a few times, but she's never been out because of her health. I just heard them say that it's fun outside.

Now that she has met another friend from outside, she finds it more fun to be outside, but she still has many things that she doesn't understand.

Man Bao didn't know how to explain it to her. He smiled and said, "You'll know when you go out and have a look. Then I'll take you to the main street of the capital, and you'll know how to use the money."

Mingda put away the silver ingot, "That's it, you can help me bring some in tomorrow."

Man Bao patted his chest and said, "No problem."

Aunt Shang saw that they had finished talking, so she sent Man Bao to the gate of the palace, watched her get on the carriage and walked away before turning back.

See you tomorrow
