Chapter 2773 Palace Banquet

Bai Shan and Man Bao kept it a secret. No one told the family about Bai Shan's injury, not even the two guards and Da Ji who followed Bai Shan.

Of course, they didn't say it was because Bai Shan had told him.

The current Bai Shan is no longer the Bai Shan of the past.

In the past, they would have listened to the old lady, but now that Bai Shan has married and started a family and is the head of the Bai family, they will naturally listen to Bai Shan, even if they were sent by the old lady to take care of Bai Shan.

Daji originally wanted to tell the old lady, but thinking that the young master's injury was a little strange, he also pressed down and said nothing.

In the evening, when the family sat together, the old Zhoutou was like listening to the scriptures, and it took a long while to find his own voice, "Does that mean that Manbao is now the county head?"

Man Bao nodded.

Old Zhou swallowed his saliva. He didn't know much about the township owner, but he knew the county owner. According to legend, isn't the county owner the daughter of the prince?

"Can the daughter outside really be named the county head?"

Man Bao pointed at himself and said, "Dad, look at me, I'll do it."

She said: "Actually, I don't really want to be named the county head. How good is it to be named the county magistrate. The county owner cannot be hereditary, and the county magistrate may still be hereditary."

Although it is a downgrade, it is better than her generation.

Hearing this, everyone's gazes towards Bai Shan also brightened.

But Mrs. Liu asked Bai Shan curiously, "You are just a middle-class scholar, who went to organize government affairs for His Majesty and drafted edicts, how could you make a great contribution and become an earl?"

As the saying goes, the rank shows its merit and the position shows its ability. Even if Bai Shan is promoted, he should be promoted to an official position to show his ability. Only those who have merit and great merit can be named an earl.

Bai Shan said: "I went to the battlefield several times, and the last time I gave a warning in time, I saved General Qi Bi and 2,000 soldiers, so His Majesty only sealed me."

Madam Liu looked him up and down suspiciously, "Really?"

Bai Shan nodded solemnly, "It really can't be real anymore, grandmother doesn't believe it and asks for luck."

Mrs. Liu glanced at Daji and didn't ask him. The child has grown up, so it's not good for her to ask too much.

Mrs. Liu looked at the imperial decree of the two people's reward, and finally became happy. She raised her lips and asked, "This is a big happy event, do you want to entertain guests?"

Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other, shook their heads and refused: "This time, His Majesty has awarded a lot of people, we are just a small plus, if we also entertain guests, we don't know when we will be lined up, why don't we invite a few close ones to eat. Just a meal."

Mrs. Liu thought about it and felt that it would be better to be low-key.

This time, their family has sealed two, and whether it is Man Bao or Bai Shan, the foundation is still shallow, but the two are too young, if they have another banquet, they will inevitably attract attention.

In fact, even if there were no guests, Bai Shan and Zhou Man still attracted the attention of many people.

Bai Shan will not say anything about it, but he was highly praised by the emperor on this trip, believing that his experience is more important than the whole of Liaodong;

Next is Zhou Man. She entered the officialdom as a woman without any foundation. Up to now, she not only has an official position to show her ability, but also a title to show her merit.

It is impossible not to be shocked.

Some families with unworthy descendants but unfortunately one or two smart daughters and granddaughters couldn't hold back their excitement.

If their daughters (granddaughters) can also serve as officials, and serve as arms to each other with their father and brother in the family, isn't this also an act of honoring their ancestors?

Just thinking deeply, everyone can't help but regret that Zhou Man's road to success is difficult to replicate.

Based on medical skills, she entered the Imperial Hospital, because she wanted to write medical books and facilitate the treatment of the prince and the prince, so she entered the Chongwen Museum.

If other women want to go her way, they must go to the Imperial Medical Office and start studying medicine like her.

The only female officials that the DPRK and China can accept are the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Medical Office, and other departments will obviously not accept it.

Even Chongwenguan would find it difficult to accept a second female official.

And let the bright girls in their family study medicine...

These adults are not very willing.

Physicians are craftsmen. Although the status of the Imperial Physician's Office has now risen, in the eyes of everyone, physicians are still craftsmen who serve people.

Everyone also thought about it in their hearts, and after tangled, they suppressed this idea.

But young girls have their own ideas, and many girls get together to make a big event at the palace banquet.

The emperor will hold a celebration banquet in the palace just two days after the award.

Man Bao and Bai Shan were on the list this time, and they could bring their families in, so Man Bao brought Qian Shi and Zhou Liru, while Bai Shan brought his grandmother and mother.

Originally, he didn't want to take Mrs. Liu with him. The palace banquet was very cumbersome, with all kinds of greetings. Although it was honorable, it was also very tiring. He didn't want Mrs. Liu to suffer this crime.

But Mrs. Liu felt that if Bai Shan was released, the capital would have to leave his family to take care of them.

Man Bao is impossible, and Zheng's skin is thin, so she can only go on, so Mrs. Liu wanted to go to the palace this time to meet people, make an impression first, and find someone to talk about later.

So the family of six went out together.

Bai Erlang and Princess Mingda were waiting for them at the gate of the palace, and they all entered the palace together.

Originally, with Zhou Man present, the palace servants were considerate enough. Coupled with Princess Mingda, everyone respected Mrs. Liu and the Qian family even more, and directly carried the people to the palace where the banquet was held.

Both Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian were a little uneasy, and the chamberlain who led them explained softly: "Your Majesty and the lady are considerate, it is not easy to let the old ladies and gentlemen go such a long way, so I specially let them go. The servants are waiting at the palace gate to carry the chariot."

Mrs. Zhao Guogong and others also entered the palace in a chariot, not just Mrs. Liu and Qian.

The two of them were relieved.

This was Qian's first time entering the palace, and she was a little flustered when she was helped by Man Bao to get off the chariot, but her hand held Man Bao's little hand, which was warm and calm, and her heart was calmed down.

She raised her head and glanced at the door of the palace, and quietly exhaled. The door looked quite tall and large, and it was much more imposing than their home.

As expected of the palace.

However, because the Zhou residence she lives in is not bad, although the grandeur of the Tai Chi Palace shocked her, she still stabilized.

Man Bao helped Qian into the hall, turned a door, and there was a big yard. Because it was winter, there weren't too many flowers at the moment, but the gardeners of the palace were still able to put out a lot of potted flowers. It looks especially beautiful in the cold winter.

There are also red plums that opened in advance, and the red and bright branches are stacked together, which is really beautiful.

Turning around the courtyard and going up the long corridor, the second courtyard is the main hall, where the banquet was held. At this time, many officials and family members were already here.

The two of them just came in, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at them. A few young ladies' eyes lit up, and they stepped forward gracefully, bowed at Zhou Man, raised their eyes slightly and smiled: "Meet Master Zhou, little queen nine. Mother, my aunt and the adults are friends in the boudoir..."

See you tomorrow
