The three of them were still a little scared when they sat in the carriage.
Bai Shan poked his head out and took a look at the two servants following them on horseback, then retracted his head and sighed with Man Bao: "I finally know why Daji asked the servants to follow him as soon as he found out someone was staring at us.
Are all people so scary?"
Man Bao shook his head seriously and said, "No, it's just the rich families who are so scary."
Bai Erlang said: "My family is also a wealthy one, and I have never beaten anyone to death."
Bai Shan nodded, "Neither does my family."
Man Bao: "Are you embarrassed to say that your family is a wealthy one?"
Bai Erlang, who has been the hegemon of Qili Village since he was a child. His family is not only the first in Qili Village, but also has a reputation in the entire county. Bai Erlang has always been very confident in himself. Even if he has seen the world, the prince has seen it, and the aristocratic family has seen it.
, but the self-confidence he had cultivated since he was a child has not been affected much, so he can still nod proudly to Man Bao, "Is there anything to be embarrassed about? My family has a lot of land, and my family also has a lot of money. My servants
There are also many tenants!”
Bai Shan, who was also very confident, nodded, pointed at Bai Erlang and said: "My family has more land than his family, my family has more money than his family, and my family has more tenants than his family, and
I have only one son in my family, and he will be mine alone in the future."
Sure enough, the only person in this world who can attack Bai Erlang in all directions is Bai Shan.
Bai Erlang stared at Bai Shan.
Man Bao couldn't help but burst into laughter. After laughing, he looked at them seriously and said: "There are still differences. Those families also have many officials, so they can be called rich families. When you become officials in the future,
Your children and grandchildren have also become officials and have become such a big family. You must remember to treat life well, but don't treat human life like a piece of grass like them."
Man Bao said: "Humans and grass are different. Once the grass is cut, it will grow again when the wind blows next year, but once human life is gone, it is gone."
Bai Erlang listened and nodded.
Bai Shanze said to Man Bao, "You will teach them from now on."
Man Bao asked, "Who?'
Bai Shan blushed and said, "My descendants."
"Just teach me, why are you blushing?" Before Man Bao finished speaking, she saw his red ears and cheeks. She slowly came back to her thoughts and looked at Bai Shan blankly.
As soon as Bai Erlang raised his head, he saw the two people opposite him. You looked at me dumbly, and I looked at you dumbly. They only had eyes for each other. He felt a little dissatisfied, so he cleared his throat heavily.
Manbao blushed slightly and lowered his head. After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, so he raised his head and looked at Bai Erlang fiercely, "Are you feeling uncomfortable in your throat? Do you want me to prescribe you a medicine to reduce inflammation and clear your throat?"
Bai Shan's red color faded slightly, his eyes turned away, he glanced at Bai Erlang and said nothing.
Bai Erlang:......
After returning home, the three of them went back to their rooms to freshen up, and then went to the study to do their homework while waiting for dinner.
When Bai Erlang arrived in the study, Bai Shan said to Bai Erlang in front of his husband: "I told my husband that you might be able to compose poems when you climb high during the Double Ninth Festival, so I will help you make up for your poems in the past few days."
Bai Erlang had a bad feeling. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I won't do anything when the time comes. I don't want to be in the limelight."
Mr. Zhuang, who was reading a book on the side, gently hit his head with his book and said, "You are worthless. The examiner will ask you for poetry when the time comes. Will you write it then?"
"Then I don't want him to teach me," Bai Erlang said, "Sir, didn't I say that famous teachers produce great disciples? You are so much better than him, so you can teach me."
"With your level of skills, Bai Shan can teach you." Mr. Zhuang was afraid that if he taught him poetry specifically, he might not be able to suppress his anger.
Bai Erlang turned to look at Bai Shan, who gave him a big smile.
Bai Erlang opened his mouth wide, he pointed at Bai Shan and said: "You want to avenge your private revenge!"
Mr. Zhuang raised his head, looked at him, and asked, "What kind of personal feud have you had?"
Bai Shan looked at him quietly.
Bai Erlang, who wanted to complain, opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat. After a long time, he shook his head.
Mr. Zhuang looked at the two of them suspiciously. Man Bao came in from the outside and asked, "Sir, do I have any homework today?"
Mr. Zhuang withdrew his gaze and said to her: "Yes, come here and I will prepare a text for you. You will read it in the next two days. After you have read it thoroughly, I will ask you a few questions."
Seeing that Mr. Bai Shan's back was to them, he put his arms around his neck and pulled him out, "Let's go to the garden to read poetry."
Bai Erlang: ...He regretted it. If he had known it, he would have lost his voice at that time.
Mr. Zhuang looked back at the backs of the two disciples and asked Man Bao: "Did they have a quarrel?"
Man Bao blushed slightly and shook his head, but then he remembered something, "Sir, do nobles kill their subordinates at every turn?"
Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and then shook his head and said: "I don't know where you came up with this question, but no matter what the question is, you can't generalize it. One pole will overturn the whole boat."
He said: "Both County Magistrates Tang and Yang are nobles. Do you think they are people who are willing to execute their servants?"
Man Bao shook his head.
"That's it," Mr. Zhuang sat behind the desk and said, "However, nobles have been in high positions for a long time. If they don't have compassion, they can easily regard human life as nothing, so I always ask you to be careful in your words and deeds after arriving in the capital.
.Because in the eyes of some superiors, not only their subordinates, but also common people like us are just ants."
Man Bao said in despair: "I understand."
Mr. Zhuang nodded and motioned for her to read the article he had picked out for her. After thinking about it, he found a classic from the bookshelf nearby and gave it to her, "You haven't finished reading this book yet?"
Manbao's scalp was numb, "There are so many..."
"Don't be in a hurry, read it slowly," he said with a smile: "I asked Bai Shan, he reads the law book for three quarters of an hour every night before going to bed. Now he has started to memorize it. If you want to learn medical skills, if you are not as good as him,
I don’t require you to memorize it, but you do need to read it through.”
But she still has to go to class in the system at night...
Man Bao held the thick classic and cried without tears.
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "You are young now, and it is the best age to study. You read it for two or three quarters of an hour every night before going to bed, and you will finish it in a few years. One day you will understand this book thoroughly.
, you won’t ask questions like today again.”
Mr. Zhuang's smile was faint, and he sighed: "The reason why they can regard human life as nothing, I think, comes from the Jin Dynasty, no, from the laws of the past dynasties."
Man Bao half understood and half didn't understand, but he hugged the book in his arms tightly.
Keke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "It's a pity for you, sir."
