There is a pavilion in the Bai family's garden, right by the pond.
As long as it's not dark or winter, Manbao still likes to play in this pavilion, because it's ventilated from all sides and very cool.
The two of them carried the bookcases directly to the pavilion. The servants brought snacks and water and then left, without following them all the time.
When he was in Longzhou, Bai Shanbao was always followed by servants when he went out and about. Even when he went to bed at night, there were servants on duty outside. But after coming to Qili Village, Mrs. Liu, in addition to placing a big blessing beside him, all the servants who followed him before came to Longzhou.
All the servants were transferred away.
Bai Shanbao was not very used to it at first, but at that time he was busy "fighting" with Manbao and Bai Erlang, so he didn't pay much attention. When he noticed the difference, he got used to this change.
Besides, Bai Erlang doesn’t have any girls or servants around him, so isn’t he living the life of a bully?
But in the eyes of Wei Zhi's guards, the Bai family looked a bit shabby.
They knew the Bai family's family background quite well, because they had checked Bai Qishi as early as when they were in Yizhou. Although their achievements were not comparable to those of a family like Mr. Wei, they were still nobles, and their families had land and shops.
He has many servants, so he shouldn't be in such a miserable state.
When Wei Zhi was wandering in the garden, he saw two children occupying one side of the stone table and doing homework seriously. He stopped and did not disturb them.
He pressed down on the guards who were following him, found a fairly lush tree, and sat down under it.
The guard stood in the shadow beside him, silently in a daze.
Wei Zhi just watched the two children immersed in their homework. After finishing, the two exchanged checks, then exchanged friendly words and put away their homework.
Wei Zhizheng was about to go up and talk to them when he saw two children taking out a book and starting to read in the pavilion. Apparently they still had the task of memorizing today.
This tree happened to be on the side of the pavilion, and a bush of roses was growing in front of it. Therefore, people in the pavilion could not see Wei Zhi and Wei Zhi without looking carefully, but Wei Zhi could see them.
You can also hear the two children talking at the same time.
Perhaps because the text he had to recite was too long and too unfamiliar, Bai Shanbao couldn't help but blame Manbao, "It's all your fault..."
Man Bao held the book and turned his back to him, humming: "You are stupid, why don't you blame me for not being able to memorize it?"
"I can endorse faster than you!"
"I'm faster than you, just watch if you don't believe me," Manbao had already asked Keke. She was a little smarter than she was last year, so she asked Keke immediately, "Am I smarter than him now?"
"
Keke didn't answer.
Okay, Manbao understands.
She was a little unconvinced, and her reading voice became louder and louder. She must memorize it before him.
As soon as she made her wish, she smelled a very fragrant smell. She sniffed, followed the smell and turned half a circle, and saw Mrs. Zheng bringing a wooden plate with her girl.
Bai Shanbao also smelled the aroma, and the two of them immediately put their previous unpleasantness and bet behind and ran towards Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng caught one person with one hand and said with a smile: "My servants bought a ewe yesterday and brought it back. The sheep was giving birth to milk. It just so happened that today the housekeeper went to the county town to buy some ice and came back. I asked someone to make two bowls of cheese. You guys
Eat and see if it tastes good."
Bai Shanbao nodded sharply and put the book aside temporarily.
Bai Shanbao asked Manbao, "Have you ever eaten cheese?"
"I haven't eaten it."
"It's very delicious." He rarely gets to eat it, so he is very impressed by the taste.
Although Ms. Zheng loved them, she didn't dare to give them too much food. After all, it was iced, so there was only a small bowl.
Bai Shanbao and Manbao ate with gusto. When they finished eating, Mrs. Zheng gently warned them, "After eating, do your homework seriously and don't quarrel or fight."
Although the two children are good friends, they always quarrel and occasionally fight.
Several times, her son came back from outside with tears in his eyes, saying that Manbao bullied him. Mrs. Zheng went to find out, but the little girl also came home crying.
My son is not only a boy, but also one year older than others.
He was also taller, so Zheng certainly didn't think Man Bao could bully him. It was probably because he was hurt after the fight, but she felt that Man Bao must have suffered more in general.
So every time after the two children fight, Ms. Zheng feels a little guilty.
They had just eaten delicious food. Man Bao was in a good mood and agreed obediently. When Zheng left, the two picked up the books again. This time they did not quarrel and sat obediently on the railing together.
While swinging his legs, he endorsed the book.
Wei Zhi then stood up from the grass, walked over with his hands behind his back, and asked with a smile, "Do you know what this text is about?"
Bai Shanbao: "Sir, you talked about it today, of course we know."
"Now that you know the meaning, it will be much easier to memorize it. Come on, let me teach you how to memorize it." Wei Zhi, who was born as a Jinshi, understands this kind of thing very well.
Bai Shanbao and Manbao listened with great interest. When it comes to teaching, Wei Zhi may not be as good as Mr. Zhuang, but when it comes to knowledge, he is no worse than Mr. Zhuang, and is even far above Mr. Zhuang.
So both Man Bao and Bai Shan Bao benefited a lot.
So much so that Manbao almost forgot to go home for dinner. When she realized it, Daya was ordered to come to her, and she realized that it was getting late.
She put the book away and told Bai Shanbao Wei: "I'm going home for dinner. I'll come to see you after I finish eating. You must wait for me."
Bai Shanbao patted his chest and said there was no problem.
Wei Zhi smiled slightly and said he would wait for her. He also liked getting along with these two children.
For two days in a row, apart from drinking tea with Mr. Liu every day, Wei Zhi walked around in the fields or went to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village to talk to the villagers. When Manbao and the others got off school, he would play with them.
.
Of course, the main thing is that he guides his two children to study.
On the third day, he showed his intention to return to Beijing. After being silent, Mrs. Liu invited someone to go to the main hall.
The area around the main hall of the Bai family was cleared, and no one was allowed to approach except Daji and Grandma Liu who were guarding the area.
In the past three days, the more she got to know Wei Zhi, the more she trusted him, and therefore, she was willing to take that risk.
So she asked him, "Can you bring the people behind this to justice?"
Wei Zhi asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
"The Jianwei Weir burst, didn't you find anything?"
"I found it," Wei Zhi knew what she was asking, but he had to say: "But it is impossible to convict all the people involved in this matter, such as the King of Yizhou. I can't do anything to him now, because I
There is not a shred of evidence pointing to him, although you, me, and even the ministers in the court do not believe that he is innocent."
