Bai Shan packed up the basket of books and was about to leave. Wei Ting quickly grabbed him and asked, "Erlang and the others won't be reading today?"
Bai Shan pulled the sleeve out of his hand and said, "I'm not coming."
"Why?"
"Brother Zhou is coming back from his hometown today, and I have to go home early. Okay, get out of the way."
Wei Ting also quickly collected his things and was about to leave together. He caught up and asked, "By the way, we are about to have a riding and shooting class. Do you want to buy a horse or rent a horse?"
"Let's just rent the horse from the school." Bai Shan didn't have a good impression of the horse raised on the edge of Qixia Mountain. Although it was normal for the horse to go crazy after being whipped, he just doubted its safety.
Wei Ting nodded and said: "It's not bad to rent, it's much cheaper. Let's choose horses together later."
Bai Shan looked at him curiously, "You also rent horses?"
Wei Ting's family is in Yizhou City, and his family background is not low. Even if he doesn't go to Qixia Mountain to buy a horse, he can just bring one from his own house.
Wei Ting explained: "This year, all the students in our class are renting horses, so I just follow the crowd."
Bai Shan nodded and arrived at the door. After finding Daji, he said goodbye to Wei Ting, "I'm leaving."
Wei Ting waved goodbye to him regretfully. Ji Hao could not go to school yet. He had been injured for a hundred days. It was estimated that he would not be able to come to school this year. And next year, it was not certain whether he would be promoted with them or repeat the grade.
Woolen cloth.
Bai Shan doesn't seem to like to play, he is so sad.
Daji waited for the young master to sit firmly, then whipped his whip and reported in a low voice: "I came back on Thursday. The old lady asked him to bring letters and winter clothes. Also, today the Ji family sent a post to the house, and there are a lot of valuables."
Gift."
Da Ji paused and then continued: "Magistrate Tang is here and is playing chess with Mr. Zhuang at home."
Bai Shan was surprised, "So many things happened on this day?"
Daji responded with a "yes".
The carriage quickly returned to the small courtyard. Bai Shan jumped off the carriage, opened the door and went in. He saw a lot of gift boxes placed in the yard, divided into two piles.
Man Bao and Bai Erlang were sitting among a pile of gifts, opening them and screaming, but the one who screamed the loudest was Zhou Lang, whose expression almost flew away.
Seeing Bai Shan's return, Man Bao immediately waved excitedly, "You're back. Come and see the gifts that the Ji family has given you. There are so many."
Bai Shan stepped forward curiously, opened a gift box and took a look, and found that there was a jade carving inside. He couldn't help but said, "Didn't I give it to you before? Why give it to me again?"
Man Bao thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know. I accepted it when my husband asked me to accept it."
Bai Shan glanced into the study and saw that his husband and Magistrate Tang were playing chess, so he quietly asked Manbao, "Why is Magistrate Tang here? Are we in trouble again?"
Man Bao shook his head and said, "I don't know. He went to play chess with my husband as soon as he came here and didn't torture me. First, take a look at what's in your gift box. Is there any gold?"
Zhou Lang also immediately came up and said excitedly: "The Ji family gave Man Bao a box of gold, drawn up and down, there are twelve pieces in total."
Bai Shan also became curious, rolled up his sleeves and went to open his gift box.
Daji tied up his horse and came up to help. He quickly found a large, heavy box. When he opened it, he found a row of two ingots of gold, a total of three rows. After removing the top layer, there was another row below, also containing twelve gold ingots.
indivual.
Everyone said "Wow" and were filled with envy.
Bai Erlang looked at Bai Shan and then at Man Bao, feeling extremely regretful, "Why didn't I go to Qixia Mountain that day? This much money is more than our Zhuangzi's annual income."
Zhou Lang reached out and touched Bai Shan's gold, took a sip and said, "It's useless if you go. You see, Lijun and I also went that day, so we won't have any gifts."
Bai Erlang: "That's because you didn't play your role."
"It's useless if you go," Zhou Lang looked at Bai Erlang and said, "Can you fly a horse to save people like Master Shan, or can you fly a needle to save people like my Man Bao?"
Bai Erlang was choked to the point of speechlessness.
"By the way, Daji, you also have a gift. Where is your gift?" Zhou Lang looked at Daji and asked.
Daji went back to the house and took out a small box, opened it and showed it to Bai Shan. Inside were two round and fat gold ingots, one weighing twenty taels.
Manbao and the others said "Wow" again, and they all took it in their arms and touched it again and again.
Zhou Lang couldn't put it down, his eyes were full of stars, "This is the first time I've seen such a fat gold ingot, it's so beautiful."
Bai Shan also took it and touched it again and again, then looked at the gold ingots in his box and said, "I want to beat it like this too."
Daji: "...If the young master likes it, why don't we exchange it, otherwise we'll have to take it to the bank and re-strike it, not to mention the wages, and there will be losses."
Bai Shan immediately hugged the gold ingot and said, "Okay, change, this time you have made meritorious service in Qixia Mountain, and I was going to reward you, so I will reward you with one more gold ingot."
Then Bai Shan was about to take out five gold ingots and give them to him. Man Bao held his hand and said, "There are two fat gold ingots. I want to change them for one too."
Daji glanced at his young master and gave another gold ingot to Manbao very generously.
Man Bao hugged her and smiled so hard that she picked two gold ingots from her box and returned them to Daji.
Zhou Lijun said with greedy eyes: "Sister-in-law, are you tired of hugging you? Let me give you a hug."
Bai Erlang also said to Bai Shan: "Shan Bao, are you tired? I will help you carry him."
A group of people just played with the two big fat gold ingots and had fun for a while, and then went to look through other gift boxes.
This time, the gifts given to them by the Ji family were of particularly high standard, full of treasures, and there were two sets of jewelry that she had never seen before. They looked very beautiful and valuable.
It was so expensive that her current little head couldn't afford it.
Zhou Lang opened the gift box and said: "Keep it, take it back to my mother to help you put it away, and use it as a dowry when you get married."
Man Bao was unwilling, "I don't want it, I want to keep it myself."
Although she can't wear it now, she is very happy to look at it every day.
Zhou Lang was very confused, "Man Bao, where have you hidden so much money and valuables? Can your small compartment hide so many things? You should take it back home and keep it in case there is a thief here.
what to do?"
Bai Shan nodded, ordered several boxes and said: "These, these, and these, Brother Zhou, next time you go home, take them with you and give them to grandma for safekeeping."
Zhou Lang nodded and then looked at Man Bao.
Man Bao insisted, "I want to keep it myself."
"Okay, if it's stolen, don't cry."
Man Bao was very confident, "I won't lose it, but I'd better take these fabrics back to my mother so that she and my sister-in-law can make clothes for them."
"No, the clothes you asked me to bring back last time were all converted into money," Zhou Lang said: "Mom said, the materials are very good at first glance. Everyone in the family works in the fields, so they wear something like this."
Aren't your clothes a waste of things? I think you should keep making your own clothes."
