After Mrs. Cheng was convinced, she felt more comfortable and closer to Lao Zhou's family.
It happened that Mr. Zhuang also came back, and the family gathered together for a dinner.
Mr. Zhuang did not expect that he would see so many people and see such a big change when he came back from just staying out for one night.
However, after going through the storm, he quickly came back to his senses. Lao Zhoutou took medicine and is much better now.
After all, it’s a “heatstroke”, it’s better to get over it.
He has great respect and gratitude for Mr. Zhuang, and believes that without Mr. Zhuang, Manbao would not be what it is today.
So during dinner in the evening, when talking about Man Bao's current official status, Lao Zhoutou said directly to Man Bao: "Kowtow to your husband quickly. If it weren't for your husband, how would you be where you are today?"
Man Bao stood up and knelt down to kowtow. Mr. Zhuang quickly stretched out his hand to hold her, but Old Zhoutou held him back and said: "Mr. Zhuang, let her kowtow. This child has been studying with you since she could talk. I am the one who
Daddy didn't teach her anything, it was all you who taught her. Now that she is an official, she will kowtow no matter what she does."
Mr. Zhuang looked helpless and said to Bai Shan, "Hurry up and help Man Bao up."
Bai Shan looked at his future father-in-law, then at his master, and then at his future wife who had knelt down and kowtowed. After all, she didn't reach out, so he also knelt down next to Man Bao.
They both kowtowed to Mr. Zhuang.
Bai Erlang stood aside with his eyes wide open. He hesitated and turned to ask his father, "Dad, do I want to kneel down?"
Mr. Bai felt a little upset.
Bai Dalang, who was standing behind him, kicked him directly. Bai Erlang staggered forward two steps and knelt down.
The three of them kowtowed in a messy manner. Mr. Zhuang was pulled by Old Zhou, so he could only endure it. After all three of them had finished kowtowing, they said, "Get up."
The three of them stood up with smiles.
Mr. Zhuang sighed, turned to Lao Zhou and said, "Brother Zhou Jin, Man Bao can be more successful today only because of her own ability..."
Old Zhoutou insisted: "Then didn't she learn her skills from you?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said: "I only taught her about worldly affairs, but not medical skills..."
Lao Zhou shook his head and said: "If you didn't teach her how to read and write, how could she understand medical books? If you didn't teach her how to behave, how could she learn so many medical skills from others?"
He said: "Although our family Man Bao is the reincarnation of a fairy and is very smart, she is still a mortal in this life and cannot be taught by anyone."
Qian on the side nodded.
Bai Shan whispered to Man Bao quietly, "Uncle Zhou, I would have almost forgotten that you are still the reincarnation of a fairy."
Even the reincarnation of a fairy is not as smart as him.
Man Bao glanced at him rather sadly.
It was the first time for the married man to hear such a statement, and he was surprised, "Master Zhou is the reincarnation of a fairy?"
Now there is no need for Qian to tell it, Fang and others can tell the legend that has been spread in the countryside over the years and seems more and more true.
In the end, Mrs. Cheng's eyes changed when she looked at Man Bao.
She secretly thought: It's strange that so many imperial doctors couldn't take a good look at the prince's illness. Zhou Man got pregnant less than a year after entering the capital. It turned out that the fairy was reincarnated. Is this to gain respect from the Taoist Master?
Mrs. Cheng took her daughter's hand and decided to let her spend more time with her in the future. Anyway, Bai Dalang was once a student of Mr. Zhuang, so after all, they were still brothers and sisters.
Thinking about it this way, the relationship between the two families is indeed very close.
Mrs. Cheng also had a smile on her face.
Mr. Zhuang originally had a lot to say, but when he saw that the topic had turned to Man Bao's previous life in the fairy world, he closed his mouth and said nothing.
Bai Shan and the other two quietly retreated to the side and whispered.
Bai Erlang breathed a sigh of relief and complained softly: "Next time you want to kowtow, tell me in advance. My father just looked at me with a knife in his eyes, you know?"
Bai Shan then looked at Man Bao.
Man Bao pushed the pot back and whispered: "My father asked me to kneel. It's my own business. Who asked Bai Shan to kneel too?"
Bai Shan whispered: "Sir asked me to hold you, but your father didn't let me, so who should I listen to? I can only kneel down."
He glanced sideways at Bai Erlang and said, "It's because you don't have any expression. Your senior sisters and brothers are already kneeling. Why don't you rush up and kneel down?"
Bai Erlang felt so aggrieved that he whispered: "Blame me? You two are not only senior brothers and sisters, but also an unmarried couple. How do I know whether I should kneel down or not?"
Bai Shan thought about it, so he said: "Then next time I give you a signal, if I don't look at you, don't kneel down. If I look at you, come over and kneel with me."
Bai Erlang hummed in agreement, rubbed his butt calmly and said, "My eldest brother must be avenging his personal revenge."
They were whispering here, but Lao Zhoutou was still thanking Mr. Zhuang, "This time we came to Beijing, your uncle also asked us to bring you some things."
Mr. Zhuang happened to be unable to integrate into the conversation of Mrs. Liu and the others, so he took the opportunity to leave and go with Lao Zhoutou and others to see the things brought for him at home.
Mr. Bai didn't want to sit with a group of female relatives, so he took the opportunity to get up and walk away together.
When Bai Shan saw it, he immediately grabbed Man Bao and Bai Erlang. The three looked at each other and immediately followed them out quietly.
Bai Dalang hesitated for a moment and glanced at Miss Cheng Er, who was half hiding behind Mrs. Cheng. Because they were about to get married, although they had dinner together tonight, they still couldn't talk to each other.
And because of customs, he couldn't even look at her openly. Seeing that she was a little uncomfortable, Bai Dalang didn't want to stay longer, so he also ran away.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Cheng stopped dragging her daughter to hide, and began to sit out and talk openly to Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Qian and others.
The two boxes Zhuang Dalang asked Lao Zhoutou and the others to bring were clothes and shoes, as well as some home-made bacon and smoked sausages, all of which Mr. Zhuang liked to eat.
There are three seasons of clothes, including summer, autumn and winter, and we also made about ten pairs of shoes that fit your feet.
In addition there is a letter.
Zhuang Dalang has received his father's letter and also learned about his father's official appointment from the Bai and Zhou families. He expressed that he was very happy for his father, but also told him to resign as he was getting older and if he felt tired.
.
He did not agree to let his eldest son go to Beijing to study. Although he was moved for a moment, he felt a little reluctant to let his child go so far away from home.
Moreover, he walked on the road to the capital. Although he was still young at the time and his memory was a bit confused, he also knew that it was not easy on the road and he did not want his children to suffer like this again.
So it is better to let the children study in the county school.
After reading the letter, Mr. Zhuang sighed inwardly, and said to Lao Zhoutou, who was complaining to Mr. Bai about where Zhou Lang had gone, "The child is still young, and it is a good thing if he is willing to go out for a walk."
