Chapter 878 Going Home (For Book Friends Chunting)
Bai Erlang was still a little confused until he got on the carriage and left the city gate.
He opened the curtain and looked back, and saw that the gate of Yizhou City was still shrouded in fog, and even the three big characters on the gate could not be clearly seen.
Man Bao and Bai Shan also crowded at the window on the other side to watch, feeling extremely sad.
Bai Erlang asked: "Will we come back?"
Bai Shan affirmed: "Yes."
Bai Erlang sighed, "I was in such a hurry to go back that I didn't even have time to say goodbye to Qi Jue and the others. I don't know if they will blame me when I come back."
Bai Shan also sighed, "I didn't have time to say goodbye to the teachers and classmates in the school."
Man Bao was equally sad, "I wonder if Doctor Ji will be worried about me."
Then they both looked at Bai Erlang and sighed heavily, their faces full of guilt.
Bai Erlang looked worried and asked anxiously: "Why are you looking at me like this? Have you done something bad again?"
Bai Shandao: "Originally, you were supposed to take the government education exam this year. If you go back with us now, I'm afraid you won't be able to take the government education exam this year."
Man Bao: "Yes, sir, I have already given you a volume of topics. Alas, I haven't had time to copy them all for you."
When Bai Erlang heard this, he was very happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, for fear that they would complain to his husband and he would have to answer the questions in the end.
He comforted them with a sullen face, "It's okay, I think Dazhi Academy is pretty good too. Aren't Qi Jue and the others also studying in the academy?"
Thinking about it this way, it seems that being forced to flee home temporarily is not a particularly bad thing.
Bai Erlang secretly enjoyed himself. Seeing that the sun was gradually getting brighter outside, he simply climbed up to the shaft of the car and sat with Zuo Erlang to bask in the sun.
Man Bao and Bai Shan also tied up the curtains and stuck their little faces out of the window, facing the rising sun and looking at the scenery outside.
The two carriages were followed by five horses, all of whom were Yamen servants from Luojiang County.
The letter sent by the Tang County magistrate to Luojiang County in the afternoon of the day before yesterday was sent to Luojiang County. In the afternoon of the next day, the messenger came back with five yamen officials from Luojiang County. The yamen officials brought a letter and an official document.
The official document was addressed to Magistrate Tang. Magistrate Yang stated in a very formal manner that Luojiang County was in urgent need of knowledgeable talents because of the need to build bridges and pave roads, so it was necessary to urgently recall Zhuang Xun and Bai Cheng from Luojiang County.
Another letter was sent to the Fu Xue, stating that their county government was in urgent need of a student's help, and specifically asked the Fu Xue to allow the student Bai Shan to return to the county seat temporarily to take over the class for a period of time.
Magistrate Tang was very efficient in his work. He took the initiative and managed the affairs of the government school in just one hour.
It would have been faster if Mr. Zhai hadn't been nagging and holding on to Bai Shan, unwilling to let go.
In the end, Bai Shan took the initiative to say that he was willing to go back, and the matter was settled. But for him, it was even simpler. He just stamped a seal on the official document and handed it to Mr. Zhuang. As for whether he could go back or not, it was up to Mr. Zhuang's choice.
.
Of course, Mr. Zhuang went back. They packed up their things that day, got the paperwork, and left early the next morning. Mr. Zhuang only had time to leave a letter to Lan Cheng and others, and could not talk to them in person.
Say goodbye.
Magistrate Yang specially sent five government officials to protect them, so Magistrate Tang didn't have to send anyone specially.
The group of people rode quickly and entered the village before the sun set. After the government officials sent the people to Qili Village, they said goodbye and returned to the county government.
The servants of the Bai family had been waiting at the entrance of the village early. As soon as the car arrived, the servants rushed up to it and took the car home directly. Aunt Liu whispered to Bai Shanmanbao who jumped out of the car: "Young Master, Miss Man
, Magistrate Yang is waiting for you at the hall next door."
Bai Erlang heard this and couldn't help being surprised, "Why is Mr. Yang at my house? No, why is he here? Isn't he in the county seat?"
Only then did Grandma Liu see Bai Erlang, and she quickly bowed and replied: "Mr. Yang visited the village in the afternoon and chatted happily with the villagers. She forgot about the time. Now that it is getting dark, she decided to stay overnight."
Bai Erlang turned to look at the setting sun in the west, which had not completely set, and said, "I knew I should have asked those five government officials to wait just now. With them following me, I would not be afraid even if I walked at night, let alone from our village to
It won't be long before the county seat is full of horses."
Everyone:......
Mr. Zhuang had a headache when he heard that, so he simply waved and said: "Erlang, come and serve me and go back to rest."
Bai Erlang's voice dropped an octave, and he said "Oh" and stepped forward to support Mr. Zhuang. When he turned his head and saw that the two of them were not moving, he winked as if he was killing a chicken and wiped his neck, "Senior sister, senior brother, hurry up and follow."
Man Bao couldn't help but mutter, "Now you know how to call me senior sister, huh."
Having said that, she still found a big baggage belonging to her husband from the car, hugged it and followed it.
Bai Shanze carried a large basket on his back.
The servants of the Bai family were already used to this. While it was still daylight, they hurriedly sorted out the things from the four families. Mr. Zhuang's items were to be sent in immediately to the young master and the others. His own young master's items were put in a pile, and the hall's items were put in one pile.
If there are many ladies, put them in one pile.
Liu Lang was on the side to coordinate the identification of things and prevent them from sorting the wrong things.
After everything was sorted, Liu Lang first picked up a big box from Man Bao. This thing was very valuable at first sight.
He said to Aunt Liu: "Then I'll go home and ask someone to come pick up the things."
Aunt Liu quickly smiled and said: "Go, go, please tell Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou that Magistrate Yang is very interested in talking, so I'm afraid I have to leave Young Master Man and Miss Man alone to talk. After they have finished their meal, we will send Miss Man away."
go back."
Liu Lang knew that they would definitely talk about confidential things, so he nodded in agreement.
Saturday Lang went home carrying the box.
Farming was busy at this time, and apart from people who went home to cook, the only sound in the village was the cries of children who could not run away, so Zhou Lang didn't meet anyone the whole way home.
There was no one in their house. Only Sister-in-law Wu, who had her turn to cook, was at home with Sanya and a few children. When she saw Liu Lang coming back, Mrs. Lu was obviously startled and asked, "Liu Lang? Why are you back?"
Saturday Lang said: "Not only am I back, Manbao and the others are also back. Over there with the Bai family, my parents have gone to the fields?"
Mrs. Lu quickly asked: "Why did something happen when I came back now?"
Zhou Lang paused and then said: "No, Fifth Sister-in-law, I will send the box to Manbao's room first. Sanya, go to the field to call the grandparents back. Later, let your eldest brother and the others go to the Bai family to move things.
This time Manbao and the others brought back a lot of things."
There were a lot of things tied up in the belly and on the top of the carriage, and the five government servants on horseback also helped tie up a lot of things.
I'm afraid they will be at home for a long time during their "escape" this time, so they brought back all the important things, especially Mr. Zhuang's two pots of orchids and peonies, which were enough for two people to enjoy.
At this time, the three of them were circling around Mr. Zhuang.
There is a small yard in the Bai family specially for Mr. Zhuang. Things are delivered directly to the yard. Knowing that Mr. Zhuang is too old to bear the bumps, as soon as he arrives at the place, Man Bao goes to make tea, and Bai Shan goes to bring hot water for Mr. Zhuang to wash.
Bai Erlang let go of his husband and ran to the kitchen to get some soup.
When County Magistrate Yang came over, he saw three people surrounding Mr. Zhuang. He couldn't help but pause, and then smiled with Mr. Bai next to him: "You are so filial, your master."
Mr. Bai said with a complicated heart: "It's all taught well by Mr. Zhuang."
