Man Bao looked at it carefully and asked, "What's the resemblance? It's completely different, okay?"
Yin You also stared at the wheat field and thought to himself: Nothing looks like it, but it looks like everything, okay?
The two of them followed the three of them in a daze and walked through the entire field, picking three baskets of wild vegetables before stopping.
The servants of the Bai family had already spread a mat on the grass. When they came back with a basket, tea and snacks were placed on the mat. Mr. Zhuang was sitting cross-legged on the mat, blowing in the spring breeze, his eyes slightly narrowed, feeling very comfortable.
When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes and glanced at them, shook his head slightly, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Man Bao placed the basket on the grass and sat directly next to the gentleman. Niu drank a cup of tea before asking: "Sir, aren't you going to play?"
Mr. Zhuang shook his head, and he just wanted to go out for an outing. Stepping on the green grass was considered an outing, and he was very comfortable just sitting and enjoying the wind. There was no need to make himself uncomfortable.
When several people saw that their husband was not playing with them, they went off on their own.
Man Bao saw a lot of wild flowers at the foot of the mountain, so he stepped forward and pulled some thin flower-bearing vines, and then weaved them together awkwardly.
This is what she, Lijun and the others learned, but unfortunately she never learned it very well.
Bai Shan saw that she was so clumsy, so he simply took the thing over and knitted it for her twice.
Bai Erlang dug out a nest of ants from the ground. Liu Huan screamed in fright and backed away repeatedly. Bai Erlang couldn't help laughing.
Yin You glanced at the ant, turned away unbearably, and walked away shaking his shoulders slightly.
He walked to Bai Shan and Zhou Man, looked at the grass, hesitated for a moment, and then lifted up his robe and sat on the grass like them.
While Bai Shan was weaving the basket, Man Bao turned his attention and continued to pull the vines, and even pulled many flowers back to decorate him.
Yin You was extremely surprised, "You can still do this?"
Bai Shan pointed at Man Bao and said, "She used to do this a lot when she was a child. I'll be able to do it after seeing it more often."
Man Bao smiled and said, "Obviously you learned it with me when you were a child."
Bai Shan's weaving was naturally not as good as the one made by Zhou Lijun and others. He looked at it and felt a little disgusted by it, so he handed the flower basket to Man Bao.
Man Bao put all the vines in his hand between the three of them, "Make a few more, and we will pick flowers later."
Bai Shan said while making up: "They are growing well on the branches, why do you have to pick them?"
Man Bao said: "Have you torn out few flowers and plants since you were a child?"
Yin You started to argue when he saw two words between them. He simply took the flower basket beside Zhou Man and walked away to pick flowers for himself.
It's rare for a group of people to go out for an outing. Although the scenery in the palace is not bad, the feeling is completely different.
Here, they can relax and lean on the mats, blowing the spring breeze and falling asleep, but in the palace, it is rude to sit unruly on the railings and shake their legs.
Even Yin was relaxed and fell asleep on the mat after the meal. Mr. Zhuang simply fell asleep and snored.
Man Bao and Bai Shan sat on the side of Mr. Zhuang's head, just enough to cover him from the spring sun. He also had a cattail leaf fan placed on his face, so he slept peacefully.
Bai Erlang didn't sleep either, and was playing some small games with Liu Huan. The two of them laughed from time to time. The group waited until they woke up, and then packed up and went home after Wei Zheng.
After returning home, Qian and others stayed with Yin or Liu Huan to have dinner before going back.
It is impossible to have a late meal, but you can eat something before going back.
Xiao Qian and her two sisters-in-law gathered the wild vegetables, boiled water to blanch the wild vegetables, chopped them up and mixed them, and they were ready in less than three-quarters of an hour.
She also cooked some side dishes and served them the warm porridge.
"Wild vegetables are most delicious when mixed with white porridge. Try it."
Yin You and Liu Huan took a small pair of chopsticks. Seeing that Bai Shan and the others were already eating elegantly but with big mouthfuls, they ate the food on the chopsticks...
It's a little sour, but also a little sweet. It's green and crispy, and there's a crunching sound when you take a bite. Your saliva secretes involuntarily. Yin You lowers his head and takes a sip of the porridge...
Seeing that the two of them had a great appetite and started to eat the second chopstick and the third chopstick, Xiao Qian couldn't help laughing and said: "I have made a lot. Will you two young masters take some home later? If your appetite is not good, then
Just eat it with white porridge."
Yin You thought that her grandmother was old and her appetite was indeed not very good, so she nodded, put down her chopsticks and thanked her, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Thank you, Sister-in-law Zhou."
When Liu Huan saw that he had taken it, he also agreed.
Seeing that they liked it, Xiao Qian couldn't help but feel happy. She also picked out some of the best ones and wanted to leave them to the princess.
As a result, when Zhou Lang came back in the afternoon and heard about it, he said: "It's for the princesses, how can they stay overnight?"
He said to Xiao Qian: "Sister-in-law, let's make the remaining wild vegetables. Later in the morning, my eldest brother and I will go out to pick them. After picking them, my sister-in-law can make them in two quarters of an hour. Manbao can go out with them."
Man Bao peeled an orange and ate it. It was one that Mrs. Liu had stored in the ice cellar last year. It can still be eaten now. She said, "There's no need to go to such trouble. You may not be able to make it in time."
Zhou Lang said: "It's not the first year of junior high school, so you don't need to go to the court meeting, right?"
Manbao nodded, "But Changyu won't mind."
Zhou Lang said seriously: "The princess won't mind, and we can't neglect the princess."
Man Bao looked at him suspiciously, when did he become so considerate and enthusiastic?
It’s not the first day I found out that she was friends with the two princesses. Last time I found out that she brought steamed meat to the palace for the princesses to eat, and asked her to eat more. Don’t always think about letting people...
Seeing her strange look, Zhou Lang came to her side and whispered: "I heard from Lijun that Princess Changyu wants to form a partnership to do business with our family?"
Man Bao: "...Fourth brother, what do you want to do in Princess Changyu's name?"
"I didn't want to do anything," Zhou Lang whispered: "Am I about to go to the grassland? If we have the princess as a shareholder, the journey will be much easier."
"With the title of princess, I won't encounter things like Liangzhou again when I go to the city, right?" Zhou Lang said: "As for me, I don't want her to contribute. We will give it to her no matter how much she contributes."
What do you think about how many shares I hold and only use her name?"
Man Bao frowned and asked: "Is my name no longer valid? Fourth brother, have you bought the medicinal materials? Don't do any bad things."
Although Zhou Man is young and has little qualifications, her name is more useful than Princess Changyu's when it comes to collecting medicinal materials.
Zhou Lang said: "Nonsense, am I a person who has done bad things? But besides medicinal materials, I also want to collect some other things when I go to the grassland this time."
"for example?"
"For example, pearls in the grassland," Zhou Lang said: "I heard Ah Liudun say that there was a big lake not far away from their tribe. There were many clams under the lake, and many pearls were produced every year. Many people went there every year.
Pearls are collected there, but ordinary merchants cannot return to the Central Plains even after collecting pearls. Not to mention the horse thieves along the way, there are also many towns they pass by, and most of them are forcibly bought in the towns ahead."
