Mr. Zhuang was also in the study room. He was not very happy either, so he only raised his eyelids and glanced at the three children before turning away, holding a book in his hand.
Bai Shan and Man Bao, who came in after Bai Erlang, looked at Mr. Zhuang with guilty consciences, and immediately gave up Bai Erlang and went to please Mr. Zhuang first.
One made and poured tea for Mr. Zhuang, and the other beat Mr. Zhuang's shoulder.
Bai Erlang, who was still waiting for them to admit their mistake, looked on dumbfounded. Then when he saw Mr. Zhuang glance at him, he couldn't help but pointed at the two of them and said angrily: "Shameless!"
Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at him with innocent faces.
Bai Erlang trembled his fingers and said, "Shameless!"
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but smile flashing in his eyes. He waved his hand to tell Manbao to stop beating. He said, "Okay, you can go and play."
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Bai Shan to leave. When they were leaving, the two of them passed by Bai Erlang and pinched him on the left and right. One of them grabbed one of his arms and dragged him out.
Bai Erlang didn't dare to disturb Mr. Bai. He waited until he got out of the study room before breaking away from their hands and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
Bai Shan asked: "Are you still angry?"
Bai Erlang hummed: "You have secrets to hide from me."
Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao, thought for a while and then said: "Our secret is a bit dangerous, you may die, do you want to know it too?"
Bai Erlang blinked, looked at Bai Shan seriously to the left, then looked at Man Bao to the right, and asked suspiciously: "Real or fake?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao nodded seriously together.
Bai Erlang became entangled, "What should I do? I'm more curious, but you said not to do anything if it's dangerous. No, you all said not to do anything if it's dangerous. Why do you have a secret about losing your life?
?”
Bai Shan suddenly shouted: "You believe even those who lie to you."
After saying that, he and Manbao turned around and ran away laughing. Bai Erlang was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. He was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he ran after them.
The three of them chased each other around the yard for seven or eight times. Bai Erlang stopped when he couldn't run anymore. He pointed at them as usual and was speechless.
Bai Shan and Man Bao were also very tired. They bent over, panting and swallowing, and looked at Bai Erlang warily.
Bai Shan gasped and said, "Are you still chasing me?"
Bai Erlang simply sat down on the ground and said angrily: "If you don't run away, what on earth did you do?"
Bai Shan shook his head and said: "I went to see Magistrate Tang. You have finished your homework. Why do you have so many questions?"
"finished."
Man Bao couldn't help but look up at him and said in surprise: "So fast? Why have you suddenly become diligent?"
Bai Erlang: "Did you forget that you are going to attend Qi Jue's birthday party tomorrow?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao blinked and asked, "Isn't his birthday the 12th?"
Bai Erlang said: "It will be tomorrow."
Bai Shan was worried, "Oh no, I have to go to school tomorrow."
"Go after school," Bai Erlang said, "The Qi family has prepared dinner. We can play until the curfew and then come back."
That's why he finished his homework early. Their husband said that if they did well in their homework, he could let them leave school early tomorrow and only attend half-day classes.
Bai Erlang originally wanted to share this happy event with the two of them when he came back, but who knew that he didn't even see Daji.
Bai Shan and Man Bao also walked to Bai Erlang and sat down, saying, "I haven't thought of any gifts yet."
Bai Erlang was also very distressed, "My husband asked me to give him the Four Treasures of the Study, but I think it's too vulgar."
Bai Shan was horrified, "You also asked sir, when did you ask?"
"Just now, you guys won't come back. After I finish my homework, I can only chat with my husband."
Man Bao sighed, "What kind of birthday does a child celebrate? It's really difficult to give gifts."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also sighed, "Yeah, what kind of birthday does the child have?"
They never do.
The three people rolled their eyes, and Bai Erlang said: "My birthday is in June."
Bai Shan was very angry, "My birthday is only two months away."
Man Bao sighed, "My birthday is at the end of the year."
The three of them sat on the ground and were worried. When the cook came out and saw them, she quickly said: "Hey, my little masters, why are you all sitting on the ground? Get up quickly. The ground is dirty and cold. What if you get sick?"
The three of them got up and asked, "Aunt Rong, what kind of birthday gifts should we give to people of our age?"
Aunt Rong smiled and said: "When the young master and ladies are born, I will prepare delicious snacks for you."
Man Bao said: "I don't think Qi Jue cares about our snacks."
"You can't eat so much if you give it to him," Bai Shan said, not wanting the trouble, "How about giving it as a gift of the Four Treasures of the Study."
In the end, they still didn't give him the Four Treasures of the Study. As peers, if they put themselves in his shoes, they wouldn't think they would be very happy to receive this gift.
And I'm afraid the gift given by adults is enough.
So the three of them went to look for gifts among their toys.
Bai Shan finally decided to give him a jade-carved horse, which he bought after seeing it on the street last year.
Bai Erlang dug out a golden Buddha, which was given to him by his uncle during the Chinese New Year, because he beat his cousin in the school homework test, which was a reward.
Bai Erlang looked around. Firstly, he was reluctant to give away the toys he collected, and secondly, they didn't look expensive, so this one seemed to be the best.
Man Bao found a black jade statue of Lao Tzu, which he bought together with Bai Shan's jade horse.
She liked me, and this black jade statue was of average quality, so it was not expensive. She had money at the time, so she bought it, and now it was time to give it as a gift.
However, Man Bao was still very distressed. As she packed the box, she muttered, "I am going to have a birthday this year, and I won't invite anyone else. I will invite the people who invite me to my birthday this year."
Keke:……
After Manbao packed the box, he took a sneak peek outside. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly asked Keke in his heart, "Koko, do you think Shanbao has guessed it?"
"I guessed you, but I definitely didn't guess me." Keke didn't think anyone in this world would guess that something like it existed.
Most people would think that there are ghosts and gods following Man Bao, just like the Qian family.
But for the safety of the host, Keke still reminded, "The host should be more careful next time and don't expose such flaws again."
Fortunately, only Bai Shan and Daji knew about it this time. Both of them are trustworthy people. If Magistrate Tang heard about it...
Keke was also very afraid of the county magistrate.
At this time, Erji was also talking to Daji about Magistrate Tang, "Brother, can you really believe this?"
Daji thought for a while and then said: "The old lady said that Mr. Wei is too busy to work too hard on our case. If even County Magistrate Tang and County Magistrate Yang are not willing to investigate, then we can only wait for the young master to grow up."
Big."
Erji fell silent.
"But the old lady may not be able to wait, and it would be too dangerous for the young master to investigate," Daji said: "County Magistrate Tang is very smart and powerful. I always feel that he has the shadow of the master in him."
