Man Bao returned to the house feeling sad. The next day, she stood at the door frame and measured her height for a while. It wasn't until the servants came that a guest was coming that she calmed down and went forward.
Mrs. Zuo came with her daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. Since they are of the same race, there are not so many taboos about sitting together.
Mrs. Liu directly asked Bai Zhan, Bai Shan and Man Bao to take them to play in the garden, while the middle-aged and elderly people talked among themselves.
After all, we had just met and spoken yesterday, so both parties were familiar with each other, but the subject and guest had changed.
As the only girl here, Man Bao naturally had to take the responsibility of greeting the Bai Jiashi sisters, so she walked with them.
Bai Shan and the others were walking in front. Bai Jiashi might not be used to it, so he deliberately slowed down and looked at the scenery in the garden and said with a smile: "The scenery in this garden is really good."
Man Bao looked at the potted plants in the flower garden and was speechless.
Perhaps it was because they had just bought this house, and the flower beds were mostly weeds, so they were all bare once they were cleaned up. They bought these potted plants when they went shopping the day before yesterday, and there were not many, just pots here and there.
Leave it.
Man Bao thinks that when the weather gets warmer next year, she can move some of the flowers and plants planted in their small yard, which may be better than those bought outside.
When Bai Jiashi saw Man Bao looking at her with his big innocent eyes, she felt a little embarrassed and said, "We rarely play with our brothers at home, so we are a little uncomfortable with it. Sister Man, why don't we separate from them?"
Man Bao said: "But we only have this garden at home. If you don't like to play with them, then we can play in our own garden."
"No, no," Bai Jiashi said quickly, fearing that she would misunderstand, "It's not that I don't like playing with them, it's just that I'm not used to it."
Bai Jialin on the side said: "Sister Man, in our family, the men have always been trained in the front yard, and the women have been trained in the backyard. It's rare for them to be in the same place."
Bai Jiashi said quickly: "We don't have anything, we're just worried that cousin Zhi and the others will dislike us."
"No," Man Bao immediately smiled and said, "Brother Bai is a very nice person, very humble and generous, how can he dislike us?"
She stretched out her hand to hold Bai Jiashi and said: "There are too few people for us to play by ourselves. It would be lively and fun if there were more people."
Bai Jialin was about the same age as her and a little lively. Hearing this, she asked, "What game do you want to play?"
"There are so many games to play. Let's go find them first and see what they want to play." After saying that, he took one of them by the hand and hurried forward.
The boys were also talking, and Manbao caught up and asked, "Do you have any games you want to play?"
Bai Ling, the eldest son of the Bai Mansion, smiled and said, "What a coincidence, my second brother just said he wanted to play a game of poetry solitaire."
Man Bao said "Huh" and said with a smile: "This game is also fun, let's play this."
Bai Ning glanced at her and asked, "You want to play too?"
Man Bao was stunned and asked: "Can't I play?"
Bai Ning smiled slightly and said: "It's not impossible, but can you handle it?"
He glanced at Bai Shan and said with a half-smile: "Cousin Shan is a student of Fu Xue after all, but I'm afraid his poems are not accessible to ordinary people."
Man Bao frowned and said: "Poetry Solitaire is not a poem that you have to compose yourself. What's wrong with memorizing other people's poems? Do you want to play or not?"
Bai Ning was choked. Bai Zhi looked at his face and immediately smiled to smooth things over. "The more people there are in this game, the more fun it is. It was my cousin Ning who suggested it, so naturally I want to play it."
Bai Jia Shi and Bai Jialin hesitated, carefully pulled Man Bao's sleeves, and whispered: "You guys can play, I, we won't play anymore."
"Why? This is very fun."
Bai Jiashi shook his head slightly and whispered: "We only know a few words and read a few books. We don't know much about poetry. How can we catch up on it, so you can play, we can just watch from the sidelines."
."
Man Bao thought this was very rude behavior. How could he go off to play by himself and leave his guests behind?
So she hesitated whether to take Bai Jiashi and the others to play another game, but Bai Shan pulled her and said: "Come on, let's play one game first, and then go play other games. Two cousins, please wait a moment."
Wait a moment."
It seems certain that the game will be over soon.
Bai Ning sneered when she heard this, and sat down on a stone bench with dignity, raised her chin and said, "Let's get started, who goes first?"
Bai Shan casually picked out a plum blossom from a potted plant on the side and said, "Throw it around at will, and the bouquet will start with whomever it is directed toward, and just go down."
Bai Zhi stroked his palms and smiled and said: "Okay, then let's stand in a circle?"
A few people moved their steps and the order was almost the same, and it didn't necessarily have to be particularly round. Bai Jia Shi and Bai Jialin stood aside and did not step forward to make up for it.
Bai Shan threw the plum blossoms in his hand, and with a pop, the bouquet fell towards Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang didn't expect that he was so lucky, so he was so happy that he shouted: "Then I'm here."
Bai Zhi and Bai Shan smiled and nodded.
Bai Erlang rolled his eyes, and then said: "Youlan is born in the front yard, holding the smoke in it and waiting for the breeze."
Unfortunately, Bai Erlang was Bai Zhi in the past. He recited without thinking: "The wind blows the tong bamboos, and there is no rain. Bai Erlang's illness makes people feel at home."
Bai Shan tapped Man Bao with his chin, and Man Bao then continued: "Every house is beautiful and fragrant, the wine is ripe, and there are singing and dancing everywhere."
Bai Shan took a deep look at Man Bao and then said: "Flying to cover the orchid hall, singing clear songs and delivering cypress wine."
Then he looked at Bai Ling.
Bai Ling was silent for a long time, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. After a while, he took a step back and said with shame, "I'm a man of few talents and little knowledge. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
Bai Ning's face looked a little ugly, but she still followed up: "The wine cup is high in the east, and the waist is half horizontal and the stars are working hard."
Bai Erlang scratched his head and thought for a long time, then continued: "Lao Jiangsu's hands are curled with shrimp beards, and the beauty of the palace is even more decorated with beads."
Bai Zhi:……
He secretly glared at Bai Erlang and continued: "The young people with pearls and shoes are all here at the beginning of the year, and the white-clothed wanderers are also here."
Man Bao felt a little regretful, but he still continued: "Although the minister is noble and has no compensation, he went to visit the fairyland after talking about it."
Bai Shan: "When swimming is fragrant, your life will be like a cloud."
Bai Ning pondered for a moment and then said: "After all, forgetting words is my way. The cassock cannot be called Yi Xiao Cao."
Bai Erlang rolled his eyes and looked at Man Bao secretly. Man Bao winked at him, and Bai Ning coughed lightly and asked, "Can you finally tell me?"
Bai Erlang snorted and took a step back: "I can't, come on."
If you have the ability, you can beat my elder brother, Bai Shan and Man Bao. If you can go two more games, I will lose!
