Bai Shan stopped Bai Erlang, who was still trying to provoke Bai Dalang, and said to Bai Dalang: "Brother, this is the reason why you refuse to marry."
Bai Dalang: "...Do you think my mother will believe it?"
Not to mention Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, even Man Bao shook his head, "No."
She said: "My father and I have told it, and my mother and sister-in-law believed it, but my father and brothers didn't believe it at all, especially my father. He even quietly asked me if she was my second aunt.
My family has offended me."
Bai Dalang said: "If I dare to use this excuse, my mother will think so too."
Man Bao sighed, "Sure enough, smart people are not that easy to do."
Bai Shan laughed for a while, and then said to Bai Dalang: "This is easy. Just tell your cousin that you want to marry a lady from an official family. It will also be helpful to your career in the future. You don't need to tell me. Your cousin will do it yourself."
I will convince my cousin."
Bai Dalang: "...What kind of bad idea is this? Where can I marry a lady from an official family?"
If there were no ladies from the official family, would he still have a wife?
Bai Shan broke off the skin of the baked bun and ate it bit by bit. He smiled and said, "What's the problem? Let my uncle spread the word, and a lady will come to your door."
Bai Dalang looked unbelieving.
Bai Shandao: "Don't underestimate yourself. You are now a student of the Four Studies, your younger brother is a student of Taixue, and your cousin is a student of Guozixue. Do you know what this means?"
Bai Dalang was slightly stunned.
Bai Shan ate all the steamed buns, clapped his hands and said, "This means that the three of us brothers, as long as we don't die young and don't get into trouble in the Imperial College and be expelled from school, we will all be officials in the court in the future."
Bai Dalang was thoughtful.
Bai Erlang looked at Bai Shan and then at his elder brother.
Man Bao also finished the steamed buns on his hand and said: "Your Bai family is still in the clan annals after all. Even if your branch is separated, it is still okay to be a lady from a side branch of a small aristocratic family, right? If it is not an aristocratic family,
It’s even easier to talk about ladies from official families.”
Because in the eyes of the world, a noble family is much more valuable than an official position.
Because he was alone, Bai Erlang, who had no feelings for Longzhou, was stunned for a moment, but he later realized, "Am I also from a noble family?"
Bai Dalang was shocked. Like his younger brother, he had always thought that he was the son of a squire. Only now did he realize that their branch was indeed from the Bai family of Longzhou, and the Bai family of Longzhou was indeed listed in the clan annals.
, even if it is in a very corner, very highly ranked, with only two short sentences, it is still from the same sect.
Bai Dalang rolled his eyes and began to think, opening a door to a new world.
Man Bao looked at the time, reached out and twisted the needle on his body and pulled it out. After feeling his pulse, he waited for a quarter of an hour, then changed the needle and gave him another set of acupuncture.
Bai Dalang was still thinking, and Bai Shan turned to ask her, "Will you still perform acupuncture like this tomorrow?"
Man Bao shook his head and said: "It depends on the situation. If it stops, just take medicine and acupuncture twice a day is enough. I will go back and look for moxa pillars and give him moxibustion. He should be fine in four or five days."
alright."
When Man Bao said this, he raised his head and looked at Bai Dalang sympathetically. Bai Dalang noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but tensed his back, "What?"
Man Bao said: "You have to pay attention to your diet in the past ten days. Even if the appearance is better, the internal disease is not cleared so quickly. You have blood in your stool, which means that the intestine has suppurated and hemorrhaged, and it will take time to recover."
Bai Dalang couldn't understand her underlying meaning for a while, so he nodded and said, "I will pay attention to my diet."
Man Bao said: "There are only seven days until the Chinese New Year."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also looked at Bai Dalang with sympathy.
Bai Dalang:......
He gritted his teeth and said: "I am no longer a child, and I will not be greedy."
Three people: That’s weird!
If you are just one person, you won’t eat if you don’t want to, but if you have a whole family together, or even the whole village is eating delicious food, the fragrance is even wafting in the air, but you can only smell it but not eat it.
That was no ordinary pain.
When it comes to Chinese New Year, the three of them have countless things to say. Bai Shan said: "In the book you gave me last time, I saw a recipe for frying sugar. I gave it to Aunt Rong to figure out, but unfortunately I didn't figure it out.
Would you like to give it to your sister-in-law to try? From the description above, it looks delicious."
Bai Erlang was also moved, "I've seen it too, how about trying it on my cook?"
When it comes to eating like this, the more the merrier, of course.
Seeing Bai Dalang looking at them, Man Bao said: "You can't eat sweets, by the way, you can't eat tofu, and you can't eat greasy things, so you can't eat anything meaty..."
Bai Dalang felt serious now, "Then what can I eat?"
"Eat some white porridge and steamed buns. In fact, the big white steamed buns are also quite delicious. They will become sweet after you chew them a few times. The white rice is also very sweet."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang nodded in agreement and looked at him sympathetically.
Bai Dalang felt that their expressions were very irritating, so he turned his head to the side and ignored the three of them.
Because they had already slept, although it was only two hours, the four of them were very energetic and did not feel sleepy for a while.
While Man Bao was talking to them, he kept an eye on the time and twisted the needle for Bai Dalang from time to time. When she started to keep the needle still, there was already a scent of medicine in the room, and the medicine on the stove was humming quietly.
Bai Shan guessed that the time was almost up, so he yawned, poured out the medicine and set it aside to cool, and gave it to him to drink later.
Bai Dalang drank the medicine and took out the needle. Then he felt that his hungry stomach was full. He yawned and wanted to sleep.
The three of them did not disturb him. They moved the brazier away from the bed and got up. Man Bao went back to sleep next door, while Bai Shan and the others continued to lie on the wooden couch.
He asked: "Are we going to need acupuncture later?"
Man Bao looked at the time and then said: "It's the second day. I checked the pulse. It's OK. Maybe it's not necessary. But you should also pay attention. If he feels pain or gets up again, you must call me.
"
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang agreed.
Manbao yawned and went back to the next door, and got directly into the quilt. It was already cold under the quilt, and it took her a while to fall asleep.
Bai Dalang's condition was obviously more urgent and severe than Man Bao expected. At dawn, he still got up and went to the hut again. Man Bao half-closed his eyes to feel his pulse and prick him again.
He took out the dregs of the first set of medicine and gave it to him to drink. Then he performed the second set of injections. When he turned around, it was already bright outside.
She couldn't help but yawned loudly. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, who were drowsy at the side, also yawned loudly. On the contrary, Bai Dalang on the bed was very energetic and was staring with bright eyes.
