After finally seeing Mrs. Han off, Manbao quickly ran out to find Daji, "Let's go to my fifth brother's restaurant."
Daji didn't quite understand what he was doing there, but he drove out of the inner city anyway.
Manbao jumped off the carriage and waved to Daji: "Daji, go back and pick up Bai Shanbai'er and the others. I'll treat them to dinner today."
Daji:……
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Man Bao, then got back in the car and left after a while.
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, put the medicine box on the counter, told Zhou Lijun that he wanted to go shopping, and ran out, waving his hands.
Bai Shanzai's street corner was not very far from here. Man Bao quickly ran over and the two met. Keke checked for them and made sure there was no one in the alley before letting them in.
The two of them led a pony to the depths of the alley. Man Bao asked, "How much does this horse cost?"
"Twenty-nine taels, one tael left."
Man Bao then smiled and said, "I'll bring it to treat you to something to eat later."
When they arrived at the location where they collected the horses last time, after Keke made sure no one could see them, he collected them in front of Bai Shan.
The pony disappeared in front of his eyes, and even Bai Shan, who had already experienced it, was surprised. Then he hesitated and saluted the place where the pony was standing, and called "Uncle Zhou."
Manbao:……
She grabbed Bai Shan's hand and pulled him directly out of the alley, "Stop saluting, he rode away."
Bai Shan: "Is the horse used for riding?"
"Otherwise, it's not just for food, right?"
Bai Shan scratched his head. He didn't know what to do with it. It seemed good to use it for riding.
The two of them walked out of the alley holding hands. When people on the street saw them, they couldn't help but look at them twice. Only then did Man Bao feel that something was wrong and he let go of his hands.
Bai Shan grabbed it, tilted his head to one side, pointed to the stall on the street with red ears and asked Manbao, "Look, there's a lot of food."
Man Bao's face turned slightly red, nodded, and stopped shaking his hands.
After walking forward for a while, the heat on their faces and ears dissipated a little, and finally they heard various cries on the street, "Silk cloth, bright and beautiful silk cloth..."
"Cotton, soft and comfortable cotton..."
The two of them turned their heads to look and realized that half of the street was filled with fabric sellers and no food at all.
Bai Shan couldn't help but turn to look at Man Bao. The two looked at each other, turned away, and walked back hand in hand with red faces.
Seeing Lao Zhou's restaurant from a distance, Bai Shan reluctantly let go of Man Bao's hand. Man Bao blushed and held his hand in front of him, staring only in front of him.
Neither of them spoke. After walking forward for a while, they felt someone was staring at them, so they looked up and looked around. As soon as they took a look, they saw Daji standing at the intersection of the street looking at them.
Bai Shan and Man Bao:......
The two of them felt quite guilty, and the red color that had just faded from their faces was beginning to come back again.
Bai Shan coughed lightly, glanced at Man Bao, and then walked forward, "Daji, why are you here?"
Daji sighed secretly in his heart, lamenting that the young master has indeed grown up, but his face has not changed much and said: "Master Tang and the others are here, I will come out to pick up Man Bao."
When Daji was taken away, he thought Manbao was secretly doing something, but when he returned to Changqing Lane, he realized that the young master was not at home.
So he rushed over immediately after picking up Bai Erlang and the Xiang brothers, for fear that they would be in danger outside. In the end, the two of them avoided him just to go shopping together?
Daji glanced at their hands, stepped aside and said, "Master, Miss Man, let's go up."
They both blushed and nodded.
Bai Erlang and the others were already sitting in the box. When they saw the two of them coming in with bright red faces, they turned to look out the window and asked, "There's no sunshine today, why are you guys so red?"
Bai Shan asked: "Have you ordered?"
"What food should I order? It's not in another restaurant. We can eat whatever brother does on Saturday." Bai Erlang was so happy that he changed the topic back, "Where were you early in the morning? I want to
I couldn’t find the article you wrote after you helped me polish it, so in the end I asked Brother Xiang to help polish it.”
Xiang Mingxue, who was sitting aside, nodded and said with a smile: "The writing is not as good as Bai Shan's, but it is barely readable. By the way, Dr. Zhou is not surprised that he came uninvited?"
Man Bao shook his head, "Of course I'm not surprised. You should have gone out more often to relax."
She said: "It's a pity that the Queen Mother's illness keeps recurring, and Dr. Zheng and the others can't spare time to see you. Fortunately, we are also dealing with the effusion and recuperating, so we are not in a hurry at this time."
Xiang Mingxue nodded.
Bai Erlang's attention was finally diverted. He turned to Xiang Mingxue and asked, "Brother Xiang, if your leg is healed, what will you do?"
Xiang Mingxue was startled, thought for a while and then said: "Go back to your hometown, the ancestral temple must be built, and those who followed me for revenge are nowhere to be found. I happen to have a lot of land in Dongxi Village, so I will share some of it when the time comes.
Give it to them so that they can live and work in peace and contentment."
Bai Erlang was quite disappointed when he saw that this plan was unremarkable.
Bai Shan asked, "Then you won't marry and have children?"
Xiang Mingxue smiled and said: "Of course I want to get married and have children. I will never take the exam to become an official in my life, so I want to open a school in the village. If I can be half as good as Mr. Zhuang in the future, I will be satisfied."
Bai Shan said: "Then we will give you some books."
Teaching requires a lot of books, not for students to read, but for teachers to read, so that students can be taught more easily.
Man Bao said: "I can ask my elder brother and others to send you some wheat seeds. The new wheat seeds produced in our village are very good. The yield is much higher than ordinary wheat."
Xiang Mingxue smiled and said, "I've heard of it, so thank you very much."
Bai Erlang looked around and asked, "Then what can I give you?"
Bai Shan rolled his eyes and said, "You want to give them some cows? Cows can be used for farming. They have fewer people and more land, so it's just right."
A cow costs three or four taels, which is very expensive.
Bai Erlang was a little reluctant to part with it. He was not Magistrate Yang, so where could he have so much money?
Man Bao also thought of something and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, give the cow as a gift. You can also write this paragraph in the book. You and Brother Xiang have such a good relationship, so I just wrote it for others to learn from."
Bai Erlang's eyes lit up, thinking that he could also appear in the book, not just on the cover of the book, so he nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, I will make up a round number, and I will give you ten cows
alright."
Bai Shan and Man Bao nodded with satisfaction, their eyes met, and they both smiled.
Xiang Mingxue:......
Zhou Lizhong brought the food up and said, "Sister-in-law, Uncle Six said he had pickled fish in a jar. Do you want to take some back to eat?"
Man Bao refused, "Forget it, Brother Six's cooking is not as delicious as Sister-in-law's cooking."
Zhou Lizhong felt the same way, so he nodded, "Okay, then sell it to passing Yizhou businessmen. They like to take the jars of vegetables with them on the road."
