Early the next morning, Magistrate Tang selected a few people to go to the countryside with him. Mingli stayed at home to wait for the case to be known. After the case was sent away, Mingli put the letter in another box and went to look for Manbao.
I happened to meet Bai Shan and Bai Erlang at the entrance of the alley, who were hurriedly going out to school.
Mingli was surprised, "Master Shan, you go out to school so late?"
The anxious look on Bai Shan's face faded away. He coughed lightly and nodded pretending to be calm: "Well, our home is close to Fuxue, so there is no need to worry."
But Bai Erlang in the car was almost dying of anxiety. He opened the curtain and shouted: "You are not in a hurry, I am. We have to hand in homework today and we have to leave early. The teacher said that if we don't behave today, we are not allowed to leave early at noon."
"
Bai Shan couldn't help but glance at him, and Mingli was suppressing a smile under the car.
Bai Shan did not let Daji go, but asked: "Why are you here so early in the morning?"
Mingli took out a box from his arms and said: "The master asked me to write a letter to Miss Man, saying it is for Master Yang. If you go back to Yizhou City with someone, then take this letter back with you."
Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief and waved, "Okay, Man Bao is still at home. You can go."
After saying that, he lowered the curtain and let Daji go.
Bai Erlang couldn't sit still and complained in a low voice: "It's all your fault for getting up late, otherwise we would have arrived at school earlier."
Bai Shan was unhappy and said, "I got up late, but you didn't get up early either. If you did, how could I not wake up?"
Bai Shandao: "You are only allowed to sleep in every day, but you are not allowed to get up late once in a while?"
Bai Erlang was choked and simply turned his head and ignored him.
It was early in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians and even fewer cars on the street. Daji listened to the two people arguing and couldn't help but speed up the car. As soon as they decided the winner, Daji stopped the carriage, jumped out of the car and opened the curtain and said: "
Master Tang, the academy has arrived."
Bai Erlang didn't even ask him to help him, nor did he wait for Daji to put down the stool. He jumped off the carriage directly. Bai Shan handed him his book basket, and he took it, turned around and ran to the academy.
Seeing him jumping into the academy, Bai Shan lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go."
Daji sent Bai Shan to the Fu School at the moment when the class bell rang. At this time, no one was entering or leaving the Fu School gate. The students and teachers who were supposed to come had already arrived.
Bai Shan stepped on the car stool and got out of the car. After taking the basket, he walked in with the sign.
The old man guarding the door stared at him for a long time and asked worriedly: "Mr. Bailang doesn't look very good. Is he sick? If he is sick, please take a few days off with your husband."
Bai Shan smiled politely at him and said, "It's nothing serious. It would be bad if I missed class."
Bai Shan walked to the classroom with a basket of books. The teacher was already giving lectures. When he saw Bai Shan standing outside the door with his head lowered, the teacher immediately waved and said: "Come in when you are here."
The husband asked with the same concern, "I see that you look a little bad. Is it because you haven't handled the family affairs well, or are you sick? Do you want to take two days off to go back and rest?"
Bai Shan declined, saying that he could still handle it and that it was not good to miss class.
The gentleman nodded approvingly and asked him to sit down quickly.
Bai Shan sat down without a problem. Wei Ting, who was sitting at the back, couldn't help but look at him, then looked at him again. After class, he couldn't help but run to his desk and ask, "What's wrong with you? I asked for leave yesterday."
, I don’t look good today either.”
Bai Shan: "I didn't sleep well last night."
Wei Ting was very envious, "That's great for you. Even if you are late, I won't punish you. Instead, I am willing to give you two days off. If it were me being late..."
Ji Hao on the side heard this and said, "Can you be like him?"
He said: "I haven't been late once all year round. I am the first group to come to school every day and the last group to leave. I finish my homework the fastest and the best. I go to the library as often as you go to the restaurant."
The same number of times..."
Wei Ting said angrily: "If you want to praise him, then praise him well. Do you have to use your compliments in such an unpleasant way?"
Ji Hao blushed and shouted, "I didn't praise him."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Wei Ting watched him leave before saying to Bai Shan, "He is a hard-spoken person with a soft heart. He is worried about you, otherwise he wouldn't have come here specifically."
Bai Shan nodded obediently.
Wei Ting sighed when he saw it, feeling like he was almost dying of sadness.
He likes Bai Shan very much and has regarded him as a good friend in his heart. As for Ji Hao, the two have been friends for many years. They have been good friends who have been thrown into trouble and skipped classes together.
One person wants to be friends with someone but refuses to give in, while the other person really doesn't want to be friends with them. He is really worried.
Wei Ting scratched his head and finally remembered another topic, "Qi Jue passed away today, did he invite you?"
Bai Shan said "hmm" and looked at Wei Ting, "Are you going too?"
"Of course I will go. My husband and I have asked for leave. We will leave after school in the afternoon. We will go home to live in the evening and come back to class tomorrow." Wei Ting said, "Ji Hao will go too, shall we go together then?"
Bai Shan shook his head and refused, "I still have to pick up Bai Er, so you can go first."
"Pick him up and let's go together," Wei Ting said with a smile, "Anyway, we are already so familiar with the game."
"I still have to go back to pick up Manbao. It's taking too long. You guys should go first."
Wei Ting smiled and said: "That's better, let's do it together, let's do it together. By the way, she cheated me last time and said she would compensate me with a bag of snacks. Do you still remember?"
Bai Shan: ...He doesn't know if she remembers it, but he doesn't remember it anyway.
Wei Ting and Ji Hao just followed Bai Shan back to the alley. Wei Ting muttered all the way, "You also lied to me to pick up Bai Er, but Bai Er left after class early and said, don't you want to play with me?"
Unlike Ji Hao, Bai Shan still liked playing with Wei Ting. He shook his head and said, "No, I just don't remember it."
"Who are you kidding? You have such a good memory." However, Wei Ting only muttered this sentence and rushed in as soon as he reached the entrance of the alley. When he rushed in, he scared Man Bao.
Man Bao was standing under the tree with her hands behind her back to endorse, when she suddenly heard a loud roar, especially without any warning from Ke Ke. She was startled, turned around and saw Wei Ting and asked angrily: "What are you doing?
Well?"
Bai Shan came in with a basket of books and gave Wei Ting a warning look, "If you scare her into having nightmares, be careful when Brother Zhou comes back and puts a sack on you."
Wei Ting shrank his neck and said, "You don't know how to do it. It's just a cry. You're not so timid, are you?"
"I'm just so timid."
Man Bao opened the book and took a look at what he was going to memorize. He found that he had memorized it almost, so he closed the book and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get the gift."
Wei Ting said "Hey", "You also prepared gifts separately? Oh, by the way, he invited you alone, and none of your family members are here."
Bai Shan stood in the yard and talked to him, "Did your gifts come with your family?"
"Yes, my mother left early, so I just went to join in the fun, send blessings to people, and have another meal." Wei Ting said with a smile: "We are still young now, so the family is not in a hurry to celebrate birthdays, but
Ji Hao suffered a lot last year and should be celebrating his birthday this year, so you can go with him then."
After saying that, he gave Ji Hao, who was standing not far from the door, a wink.
