Zhai Dalang made a sad face and said nothing. He didn't want to get married and had to get up earlier to get married.
At this time, Bai Erlang was also yawning. He dropped the pen in his hand irritably and said: "There are too few books here, neither this nor that. They are not as good as Chongwen Library at all. All the books I want to find are here.
Not found. Why did Sir give us so much homework?"
Bai Shan stuffed the books he had flipped through quickly into the bookshelf, looked at the titles and took out another one to flip through, and said: "How about you call it practice? Stop complaining and copy it quickly. I have already found a way to solve a problem.
Already."
Man Bao was looking at the problem-solving papers collected by Magistrate Zhai for his son, "I took a look and found that the papers from Shangzhou Prefecture two years ago and three years ago were very difficult."
Bai Shan raised his head and thought for a moment before saying, "It seems that the Imperial College Examination was also very difficult at that time. Their papers should have changed based on the difficulty of the Imperial College Examination."
When Bai Erlang heard this, he immediately asked: "If you don't go in with Enyin, but take the exam yourself, do you think you can get into the Imperial College?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "Even if I couldn't pass the exam that year, I could still pass the exam in the second and third years. You are different."
Bai Erlang:......
He snorted angrily, turned around and continued copying, saying, "That's not necessarily true. I can't say that I'm luckier than you. Does it mean that the examiner who graded the paper liked my article after all?"
Bai Shan thought about it seriously and felt that this might be true. After all, luck is also a kind of strength.
When it was time to go to the meeting, Bai Shan still couldn't find everything he was looking for from a pile of books. In the end, he could only take what he had written down on two pieces of paper and get in the car with Man Bao and others to go to the restaurant for the banquet.
.
In order to have more time, they did not ride horses for three days.
Bai Shan went through what he had copied and passed it to Man Bao. He took the paper copied by Bai Erlang and said, "It's really difficult. I thought about it for a long time and never thought of the way to solve this question. It turns out that the area around the capital is
Are all state and county exams so difficult?”
Man Bao looked at it and nodded: "No wonder the number of students from Jiannan Dao who go to Beijing to take the exam is always lower than those from these states. It turns out that it is because the questions they trained at the beginning were so much more difficult than ours."
Bai Erlang's eyes were sore, he lay by the car window and shook his head and said: "This is called the sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Hey, Man Bao, I saw your Yitang uncle."
Manbao also went to the window to look, and happened to see Xia Yi driving a bullock cart full of things out of the other way. She immediately pulled Bai Erlang into the car, lowered the curtains, and whispered
: "Don't let him see us."
Bai Erlang teased her, "Are you still afraid of seeing him?"
"What do you know? This is called politeness and compromise. Otherwise, if we bump into each other on the street, he will get into trouble and make a fuss. Of course he will be embarrassed, but will I lose face as well?"
Bai Shan nodded and said, "This is called decency. You should learn from it. In the future, you can give decency to others as long as you can. Arguing over words will not bring any benefits except temporary pleasure, but there will be a lot of disadvantages."
"
Man Bao nodded repeatedly.
Bai Erlang said: "Now you two can be gentlemen."
Man Bao reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Who made you our junior brother? Don't we have to teach you something?"
After the carriage passed the intersection and they were sure that Xia Yi would not look back and see them, Manbao and the others rolled up the curtains again.
Bai Shan glanced back and then withdrew his gaze, and said to Man Bao, "I'm afraid the resentment in his heart will never go away."
Man Bao said: "In the past two days, my eldest brother and fifth brother went to Songhua Lane to inquire about some things from the past years, and Uncle Xia also mentioned the things from that year. Even if I hadn't taken back the house, he and my family would
The relationship will not be good either."
Man Bao said: "He inherited my grandparents' house, and I didn't see him going to pay homage to my grandparents during the Qingming Festival. In this case, what does it matter if I don't offend him?"
Bai Shan also nodded and agreed with her words, but said: "But we can't let him remember you all the time. I asked Daji to inquire and see who Chief Xia planned to let Xia Yi give his land to.
, that half of the field was distributed to several families, and when we went to Hongtian Village, we would know each other well."
Bai Erlang said: "Are you trying to sow discord again?"
Bai Shandao: "What are you talking about sowing discord? This is called a divorce plan. Can you use a nicer name?"
"Aren't they all the same?"
"Of course they are different. One sounds like a talkative woman, while the other uses military tactics. How are they the same?"
Daji said from outside the car: "Master, Miss Man, Master Tang, the restaurant has arrived."
The three of them screamed in alarm, no longer caring about the quarrel, "I haven't finished reading yet."
Man Bao: "I just started reading the test papers."
As for Bai Erlang, apart from the test papers he copied, Bai Shan and Man Bao had not yet had time to read the information collected.
The three of them blamed each other, "It's all your fault!"
"You were obviously the one who started it..."
"If you hadn't given me the words, would I have started?"
Man Bao jumped out of the car angrily and yelled at the two of them: "Stop arguing. If you argue again, I will ask my husband to expel you two from the school. It's all your fault! You've been rambling all the way and not doing anything serious."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were not convinced, "It's obviously you..."
Mr. Zhuang, who was upstairs, heard the voices of the three disciples. He pushed open the window of the box with a headache, looked down at the three people arguing at the door of the restaurant and said, "Since we are here, why don't you come up quickly?"
The three of them immediately put their hands together and went in obediently, went upstairs, and then saluted and said hello.
Mr. Zhuang was sitting with several adults. They had not seen two Man Bao in the past two days, so they couldn't help but take a look at them quietly.
Mr. Zhuang introduced them, "This is Mr. Lu, the governor of Shangzhou, and this is Mr. Shi Zhen, the governor of Shangzhou. Why don't you come and see me soon?"
Man Bao then brought his two junior brothers forward to salute. Master Lu and Master Zhen accepted the salutes from Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, but returned a half salute to Zhou Man, and then said with a smile: "Master Zhou, please sit down quickly."
Man Bao quietly took a look at Mr. Lu and decided that it would be better to behave a little better today, so he declined Mr. Lu's kindness.
Master Lu couldn't help but smile when he saw that she was still so afraid of her husband, and asked: "Master Zhou, are you still used to coming back to Shangzhou?"
The word "back" was used very cleverly. As soon as Mr. Zhuang and Bai Shanzhou heard this, they knew that Mr. Lu had been paying attention to her return to her hometown.
Man Bao said with a smile: "When I come back, I always feel that this place is a little familiar, especially when I eat Shangzhou's cold noodles and sour soup dumplings, it's like I came back in a dream."
Mr. Lu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said to Mr. Zhuang and the doctors of government studies who were sitting next to him: "It can be seen that Mr. Zhou is born from Shangzhou. In addition to these two things, our Shangzhou's stew dishes are also good.
