He could only say with a stiff smile: "It is an honor for slaves to serve their masters. How dare you accept gifts from your masters?"
Liu Huan looked at them proudly.
Manbao and the other three hesitated, "Is that so?"
This is different from what they have known since childhood.
Bai Shan was the first to come to his senses and waved his hand: "Forget it, no matter what, don't change things that have been decided so easily."
He said to Man Bao and Bai Erlang: "Besides, we are already used to this. If we change it rashly, it will be difficult to manage. Just go with the flow. Anyway, I think that book is still very useful, at least I will
I feel that the long-term workers in our small village are much more capable than the long-term workers in my uncle’s family.”
Bai Erlang had the right to speak. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, our long-term workers are more capable than my father's long-term workers."
So the three of them looked at Yin You and Liu Huan with confidence again, especially Liu Huan, and said solemnly: "You should also learn from this."
Yin You was silent and returned the manuscript to them, "Then you have to be an official for a longer time. It takes three years to pick mulberry leaves and raise silkworms from a mulberry tree. If you become an official after two years and no longer do it, what will happen to these tenant farmers?"
Not worth dying?"
When Man Bao thought it was true, he immediately said: "I will work diligently when I get back."
Bai Shan put away the things and handed them to Daji, then stood up, stretched, moved his hands and feet and said, "Come on, let's go for a walk?"
Liu Huan looked around and asked, "Where are Mrs. Liu and the others?"
Man Bao said: "They left early. We were supposed to be together. You haven't woken up yet, so we are waiting for you here."
Bai Erlang became excited, "Let's go out and see the night view and lanterns of Yongzhou."
As a result, they just opened the courtyard door and happened to encounter a waiter coming with a huge group of people. When they saw each other, Liu Huan and Yin You were immediately surrounded.
A middle-aged steward came from Liu Huan's house. He threw himself to the ground and hugged Liu Huan's legs and cried, "Young master, you scared me to death. How could you come to Yongzhou City without saying a word?"
?”
Liu Huandao: "Who said I didn't tell you? Didn't I send someone back to tell my family that I came to Yongzhou City to see my aunt?"
The middle-aged steward stopped crying, raised his tearless face and continued to cry: "But Master, this is not my aunt's house. You don't know how hard it was when the servants arrived at my aunt's house but couldn't find you."
Panic, thanks to Master Yin's family general, he found out that the two young masters were at Fulai Inn, and the servants rushed over. Otherwise, the young master could not be found that night, and the servants would not have to live..."
On the other side of Yin Yue, who was less than three steps away from them, there was a different scene.
The general of the Yin family bowed to Yin and then said: "My lord asked me to bring something personal to the young master, and also asked me to protect the young master."
Yin You nodded, pointed to Changshou and said: "I have reserved a room for the upper room, but I don't happen to be able to stay there. You can let Changshou take you there, and I will put my personal belongings in Mr. Bai's room."
Of course it was impossible for Changshou to go, and it was also impossible for the general to leave. In the end, the things of the general and the servants were given to the servants to take to the upper room, while Yin or's things were taken to Bai Shan's house by Changshou.
.
During this period, they will not be allowed to leave home and must go together.
Liu Huan had a headache, so he reluctantly comforted the middle-aged steward who kept crying, and finally agreed to take all five servants he had brought with him, and only then could he follow Man Bao and the others out without running around.
The Bai family had originally left five guards for Bai Shan and the others, plus one Daji. Now they were added to the street, and everyone stood three feet away from the five of them in an instant, for fear of collision.
I don’t know where this noble man and young lady came from.
Manbao and the others:...
However, this is not the time to discuss this, because in this moment of delay, it is getting dark!
The watchman knocked the first watch at the right time, and then shouted: "First watch - light the lamp -"
Not only the watchmen on this street, but also the watchmen on other streets started shouting at the same time. So, people on the street began to light the lanterns in front of the door...
Lanterns were lit up in front of me, and they lit up like a fire dragon in an instant, and the lamp sheds on both sides of the wide road were also lit up one by one...
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the lighted lamp sheds became more and more dazzling in the dark night. Not to mention the three country bumpkins like Man Bao who had never seen much of the world, even Liu Huan, who traveled between Yongzhou and Yongzhou in the capital all the time, were shocked.
He let out a wow, and whispered in amazement: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen people lighting lanterns... When I went to the streets, the lanterns had already been lit, and it was the busiest time."
Even if he was like this, let alone Bai Shan and the other three, they all exclaimed, "She's so beautiful."
Bai Shan sighed, "This lantern is more beautiful than the flowers, the lantern shed is more dazzling than the flower shed, and the lanterns on the street are as beautiful as thousands of trees."
Man Bao and Bai Erlang could only nod fiercely.
The four of them were marveling here, and slowly felt that something was wrong. Why was it that one person's voice seemed to be missing?
So when he looked back, he saw that Yin You had already been staring ahead, staring at the lanterns on the entire street in front of him, unable to regain his senses.
Man Bao stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes, and Yin You came back to his senses slightly. He lowered his head and looked at Man Bao doubtfully.
Man Bao smiled and said, "Is this your first time watching lanterns?"
Yin You nodded, couldn't help but look up at the bright street in front of him again, and said softly: "I have only seen lanterns in my house before."
But how many lanterns are there in the mansion?
How can it be compared with these millions of lights on the street?
What's more, the Yin Mansion is deserted, and everyone in the family knows that he doesn't like crowds, so even during festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival, they don't easily come to visit him. How can the deserted appearance compare with the bustle on the street?
Only then did the three of Bai Shan remember that the three of them had lived in Qili Village since childhood, so they had not seen much of the lantern festivals in big cities, but they had also seen lantern festivals like Luojiang County and Yizhou City. In comparison,
Yin Youcai is a real "country bumpkin". Even though he has lived in the capital for more than ten years, he has never seen a Lantern Festival.
The three of them looked at him sympathetically and said, "Let's go to the street!"
Bai Erlang waved his hand and said: "Come on -"
The voice was loud, causing many people to turn to look at him. He didn't realize it at all, but he had already rushed forward. The guards of the Bai family were not surprised, and one of them squeezed into him almost when he shouted.
Beside him, he rushed and ran with him.
Bai Shan and Man Bao rushed after them without thinking. Daji led his men to catch up with them, and thoughtfully left two guards for Liu Huan and Yin You.
It was Yin You's first time visiting the Lantern Festival, and he thought that this was the way it should be, so he picked up his robe and hurriedly followed them.
There are so many people at the moment, so if we rush, we can only run for a short distance, and we won’t go anywhere.
Liu Huan, who was left behind, was confused. He grabbed the Bai family guard who had left him and asked, "What are you rushing for?"
The guard said: "Run to find something to eat or something to do. You can even guess lantern riddles. Mr. Liu, what do you want to do?"
Liu Huan had a mysterious look on his face, "Am I alone? Where are they?"
