Master Lu saw that Zhou Man wanted to show his kindness and was willing to recognize Shangzhou as his hometown. He was completely relieved and started talking happily with Zhou Man.
After leaving, he couldn't help turning his head and said to Master Zhen: "She is so smart and considerate, no wonder everyone from your Majesty to the Crown Prince likes her."
Master Zhen smiled and nodded, then asked: "Sir, where is the Xia family in Hongtian Village..."
"Zhou Man only said that he was returning to his hometown to visit relatives when attending cultural gatherings these days, and he didn't express any resentment when he mentioned the Xia family. In that case, we don't have to get involved." Mr. Lu paused and asked: "Who is that?
So and so, the clansman who occupied her old house moved away?"
"It's time to move. We started moving yesterday. No matter how many things there are, it should be finished tomorrow."
Mr. Lu nodded with satisfaction, "It's best if they can resolve it peacefully. It's hard for upright officials to deal with family affairs. It's the worst for outsiders like us to interfere in this kind of internal family affairs."
Mr. Zhen said: "Who says it's not the case? The public is right and the mother-in-law is right, but both are right. How can we judge?" No matter what the verdict is, people will complain. Sometimes they think they are fair, but they can't say that both sides are fair.
Blame them.
The two adults gathered together and whispered a few words before getting in the car and leaving.
Before getting on the bus, Mr. Lu looked back and sent them out the door. The four masters and apprentices of Mr. Zhuang, who had returned to the restaurant and were surrounded, couldn't help but nodded and said: "You are indeed a formidable young man."
Master Zhen nodded with concern. He had just listened to Bai Shan and the others and the literati papers downstairs. Even the Ph.D. officer who was sitting with them had finished. He was able to catch seven or eight, which shows his ability.
And he is only about sixteen years old this year. He is so young, which shows that he has a bright future.
Although Zhou Man was a woman, she was not too generous. No wonder she could not only be an imperial physician, but also a editor in the Chongwen Hall. What she could do was not limited to medicine.
The three people surrounded by Zhou Man felt that today was another tiring day. They put pen and paper in front of them. When writing a paper with others, if they didn't understand something, they would ask for the source, and after writing it down, they would briefly summarize their opinions.
, I’ll look for a book to think about it when I get back.
By the time I leave, this literary and poetry meeting will be over.
A dozen students and literati crowded up and asked Bai Shan and Bai Erlang for their addresses so that they could write letters to communicate later.
In fact, they wanted to ask Zhou Man's address, but because she was a woman, they hesitated for a while. But when they heard that the three of them lived together, they felt that they knew the addresses of Bai Shan and Shan, so they knew it too.
A thoughtful address.
So he pestered Bai Shan for his address.
Bai Shan gave it to them. He also wanted to build a good relationship with them and see if he could borrow some unread books from them later.
He thought he had read enough books, but after this trip he realized that even the Chongwen Library did not have enough books, let alone that he had not seen many books.
Bai Shan not only enthusiastically gave them his address, but also wrote down their addresses enthusiastically. As soon as he returned to the inn, he circled the list. Man Bao pointed out: "This Mr. Wen has a copy of "
"Yao and Shun Lu" I have never seen or heard of."
Bai Shan circled around and asked, "How did you know?"
"He said it himself. He said that there is a record of the Yellow Emperor's Hundred Grains after "Yao and Shun Lu". I want to borrow it, but I'm not familiar with it and it's not easy to ask." Books are very precious possessions, except for the three of them who know each other well.
In addition to opening up your own books, you should be careful when borrowing books from others. Either you will ask for a test if you have a very good relationship with them; or you will exchange books of equal importance for borrowing, otherwise you will generally not be able to borrow them.
Man Bao said: "Write it down first. When we get to know each other through correspondence, we can exchange books with him and borrow them."
Bai Shan drew a circle and recorded the information of the people whose names and addresses had been exchanged. Bai Shan put down his pen, leaned back on his chair and took a long breath and said, "Are you going to Hongtian Village tomorrow? Mr.
Are you going? We don’t have a few days of vacation, so we want to go home.”
Bai Erlang had wanted to go back for a long time. He wanted to come here to have fun, not to study. As a result, when he went on a study tour, he had to learn more than he did in Chongwen Hall.
Why did he come here?
Bai Erlang looked at Man Bao.
Man Bao counted on his fingers and said: "Come on, come on, we'll set off early tomorrow morning. Our carriages and horses are fast, we should be there around 12:00. As long as Xia is willing to cooperate, we should be able to finish it in one day."
"What are you going to do with those two pieces of land?"
Man Bao chuckled and said: "The clan leader will rent the plot of land first and directly set up a clan school for the clan, urging them to start the clan school as soon as possible. However, I want the rent of the two plots of land this year. I will go back to the fields."
Look, after the summer harvest and autumn harvest, I will ask my eldest brother and fifth brother to collect the rent."
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows, and Man Bao said, "By the way, take a look at how the house and clan school are doing."
"Why do you have to let them set up a clan school? In the future, the talents you train will come to fight against you?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and asked, "How many years have you been studying?"
Bai Erlang took out his fingers to count, and Bai Shan said: "Stop counting. Not counting the enlightenment your cousin gave you before you entered school, it has been eleven years, right?"
Bai Erlang immediately said: "No, it's twelve years!"
Bai Shan was too lazy to argue with him for the past two years and said, "Okay, in twelve years, when will you be able to take the exam? In three years, or in five years?"
Bai Erlang pinched his fingers and calculated again, and said tangledly: "Three years should be enough, but I'm not very sure. And aren't you also planning to go to Gaochang for a study tour? Five years, it won't be so stressful."
Bai Shan and Man Bao burst into laughter.
Bai Shan simply sat cross-legged on the chair and said: "Then it's been seventeen years in total. We have more books, sir, so we can have such smooth sailing. If it were them, it would have been seventeen years at least, or a lifetime at most.
What are you afraid of?"
Man Bao said: "Maybe I won't be an official after seventeen years, and I didn't harm them. What grudge is worthy of being remembered for seventeen years?"
Bai Erlang looked at her, then at Bai Shan, and said hesitantly: "You are so good? How could you come up with such a good plan for Xia?"
Bai Shan suppressed his laughter and nodded, "No, we are kind-hearted people."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly and winked at Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang believed that the two of them had a ghost, and said angrily: "Tell me, what's the mystery in this?"
Bai Shan shook his head and said, "Our tempers are getting better and better, but why are you getting worse and worse?"
Man Bao said: "I have a bad temper lately."
Bai Erlang stared at them. Staying up late for three consecutive days and studying intensively would make anyone else irritable.
Bai Shan stopped teasing him and explained with a smile: "The Xia family is not that rich. They want to set up a clan school. It won't be obvious at the beginning. After three to five years, I'm afraid there will be some supplies. By then,
Their energy will naturally be diverted, saving them the trouble of coming to Man Bao."
