"It's true that your fifth uncle studied well and was an official. He went to Beijing to become a censor at a young age. It's a pity that he was injured by a stray arrow during the Eastern Expedition with the late emperor and died. As for your master and Qi'er's generation,
Not to mention, if you ask your master, what is his study like?"
Master Bai lowered his head in shame.
"But Bai Qi is a young scholar. He passed the Jinshi examination at a young age. If not for bad luck, we would have joined their family now," said the old lady Bai, "Don't look at Shanbao now, who is still young, but has
It shows the difference. He is only this year and he has memorized all the Analects. Ask your son, can he memorize the first chapter of The Analects?"
Bai Erlang immediately shrank his head and said nothing.
Old Mrs. Bai said again: "Even if we don't count these gains and losses, let's just talk about friendship." Old Mrs. Bai grabbed Master Bai's hand and said with tears: "She is not only your aunt, but also your aunt. Her cousins and I,
The two of us grew up together and share the same grandparents. We are the only brothers and sisters still alive in the world today. You should also take care of your mother's family and treat their grandparents and grandchildren with all your heart."
These words were not said to Mr. Bai, they were clearly said to Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai quickly knelt down to apologize and said, "Don't worry, mother, I and I will serve my aunt and siblings well in the future."
Then he turned to scold Bai Erlang, "Erlang, don't bully your cousin again. If I know you bully him again, I, I..."
Mrs. Bai gritted her teeth, "I will definitely beat you."
Bai Erlang pursed his lips and did not dare to cry under his father's glare. He felt that his buttocks hurt so much.
After the conversation was over, the four members of the family put away their tears and went back to their respective houses.
The steward who happened to go to the Zhou family to deliver an apology came back. He reported to Mr. Bai: "...I gave him a bottle of medicinal wine specially designed to treat bruises, two pieces of meat, two fish, and two packs of snacks. The father-in-law of the Zhou family is very talkative.
, I told him that the child is fine, just a little bruised, and he will be fine after a while of rest."
Mr. Bai scolded his cheating son again, and then said: "She is a girl. She just doesn't have scars on her body."
The steward lowered his head and said, "It shouldn't happen. I took a look at Mrs. Zhou's family and saw that the injuries on her body were gone, but her forehead was just bruised and swollen, and there were no wounds."
Mr. Bai waved his hand and asked him to leave.
In the Zhou family, the children headed by Man Bao were squatting in the yard and watching the two fish, two pieces of meat and two packages of snacks. Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Datou and others were extremely envious, "My sister-in-law is different. When we fight, someone will give us meat and fish."
Da Ya emphasized, “There are also snacks!”
Man Bao touched his forehead and said, "Otherwise, will we find a chance to fight Bai Er next time?"
Lao Zhou, who was listening on the sidelines, almost couldn't help but slap his daughter on the head, but thinking that his daughter was injured now and might become stupid after hitting her head, he changed to a verbal scolding, "Don't talk nonsense, fighting is fun? I won't talk about you."
You are younger than others, and you can only get beaten. You started this thing, and you still want others to give you gifts. How can it be such a good thing?"
Old Zhoutou said: "When the Bai family asks our family to apologize, our family will not be able to bring two pieces of meat and two fish."
Man Bao felt sorry for a moment, then swallowed her saliva while looking at the dim sum, turned around and threw herself into her sister-in-law's arms like a coquettish girl, "Sister-in-law, let's open the dim sum and eat it."
Although she doesn't like sweets very much, she likes snacks.
She just smelled it and it smelled delicious.
Xiao Qian didn't hesitate and asked her mother-in-law what she wanted. After receiving Qian's nod, she opened a package, first gave two pieces to Manbao, and then gave one piece to each of the other children. Then she wrapped the rest and planned to slowly
Give it to Man Bao.
But Man Bao rolled his eyes and gave two pieces of snacks to her father and mother respectively, and then looked at her sister-in-law eagerly.
Xiao Qian was helpless, so he gave her two more yuan.
With a smile, Man Bao followed the same example and gave the snacks to his two sisters-in-law, and then continued to look at Xiao Qian.
When Xiao Qian saw that both sisters-in-law were there, she couldn't help but get angry. She opened the oil paper and stuffed the remaining two pieces into Man Bao, "Okay, no more!"
Man Bao put a piece to Xiao Qian's mouth and said sweetly: "Sister-in-law eats it too. I smell it and it tastes good."
Xiao Qian's anger dissipated immediately, and she couldn't help laughing, "You are the only one who is clever."
Mrs. He did not eat the dim sum, but smiled and said: "Man Bao treats his sister-in-law differently. Our dim sum is not put in our mouths."
Feng also joked: "After all, I grew up on my sister-in-law's milk."
Xiao Qian is a little proud, but very humble, "This child treats everyone in the family the same way, and his good words are as sweet as honey. All the children in the family put together can't compare to her."
The three sisters-in-law just stood there and chatted with each other. Qian sat aside and ordered: "Cut the meat and fry it. We don't have a well in our house, so it's not easy to keep the meat raw. It needs to be fried to keep it longer."
He added: "Although I've made dinner, I also took out some and stir-fried it with the vegetables. Man Bao was injured and needs to be replenished."
Xiao Qian's three daughters-in-law didn't dare to stand around chatting anymore, so they quickly agreed and went to work each other.
They did not eat the snacks, but handed the snacks to their husbands for them to eat.
Of course, Zhou Dalang and the others were not stupid, and of course they did not dare to eat it. Instead, they took it back to the house and put it away so that they could share it again in the evening when the whole family gets together.
Qian also called her daughter to her side, gave her some snacks, smiled and touched the wound on her forehead and said, "Eat quickly, the wound will heal quickly if you eat well."
Manbao pushed the snack back and said, "Mom, you eat."
Qian shook his head and said, "Mom is taking medicine. If you don't like snacks, please eat them quickly."
Manbao didn't doubt it because her mother had taboos and couldn't eat many things.
Man Bao happily took a bite of the snack and went to play with Wu Lang and the others happily.
Lao Zhoutou, who was sitting next to him, broke off more than half of the snack in his hand and gave it to his wife.
Qian smiled and did not refuse this time.
Man Bao was particularly interested in Wu Lang and his companions' trip to the county today, and asked enthusiastically.
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang felt that they had met the world today, and being surrounded by brothers and nephews, they felt extremely proud and told them about today's events vividly.
Ever since adults were kidnapped in their area, each village has agreed on rules for entering the city.
Not to mention people from the same village, a village is only so big. Anyone who wants to go to the county town the next day will shout and they will all agree on a time to meet at the entrance of the village tomorrow. If not, then they will go on their own. There is also time to go on the road.
Pay attention to.
Wu Lang said: "The best time to arrive at the county seat is Chenzheng. Everyone's journey is about the same, so we can calculate back from the county seat. If people from each village want to get together, they can wait at the entrance of the village at any time.
