Manbao scratched his face in distress, "You said, if I go and have a heart-to-heart talk with my husband, will he tell me?"
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang shook their heads together, "No."
Man Bao nodded, "I don't think so either. Forget it, leave him alone. If he dares to bully Mr. again, we won't be afraid."
Even the King of Yizhou is in trouble, why are you still afraid of a fifth-grade official?
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang didn't feel scared either. Their psychology was the same as Man Bao's. They had even made enemies of the super-rank prince. The most panicked and sad period was over. Are they still afraid of you, a fifth-rank petty official?
Compared with the behemoth King of Yizhou, Chen Fulin is really not worth mentioning.
Liu Gui listened for a long time and then said: "Master, Master Tang, Miss Man, how do you know that Mr. Chen bullied Mr. Zhuang? What if Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Chen had a grudge?"
"Impossible," Man Bao said without even thinking about it: "Sir, you are so amiable, how can you make enemies with others?"
Bai Shan nodded, "That's right, sir, you are so gentle, how can you bully others?"
Bai Erlang sighed, "Besides, my husband has such a good temper, even Chen Fulin can make enemies with him. I don't know what a bad person he is."
"But..." Liu Gui said tangledly: "What I have learned is that Mr. Chen is well-known as a good old man. Not only does he have a good reputation in the Sixth Department, but he also has a good reputation among the neighbors. Even in the
The people selling things at the stalls near their home all say that Mr. Chen is a very good person."
Man Bao blinked, "Did we misunderstand that sir and he are really old friends?"
Bai Shan: "If he is an old friend, why didn't you recognize him yesterday? You won't miss him today either. Why have you ever been so rude?"
"Yes." The three of them set the tone. Although there was no evidence and they didn't know the story, they made an arbitrary judgment that Chen Fulin bullied Mr. Zhuang.
Manbao put her small backpack back into her room, and the three of them sat in the small garden at the back. She said very happily: "Shall we go out to play in the afternoon?"
Bai Shan: "Let's go to the street and look for a bookstore."
Bai Erlang objected, "I don't want to read or buy books today."
"If you don't want to buy books, you have to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones," Bai Shan said, "The results will be out tomorrow and I will be enrolling in school that day. Do you want to go out and buy them later?"
"Can't we use the ones at home?"
Manbaodu said: "There is always a need for spares, and you are going to the Imperial College to study. I heard that most of the people there are very rich. The pens and inkstones you use must not be too cheap, otherwise you will be looked down upon.
"
Bai Erlang asked: "Then do you buy it?"
"I won't buy an inkstone. I have enough paper. I want to pick out two good pens and look at the ink." Man Bao and Bai Shan said, "You went to the Imperial College to ask if outsiders can go in and read. If not,
, could you please lend me the book? The books in the bookstore are too expensive, and I don’t want to buy them."
Bai Shan: "You're not short of money, why do you have to save money on books?"
"There will be a shortage soon," Man Bao said: "My family wants to buy a shop, and I decided to contribute a share of the money..."
When the time comes, she will also take some of the profits. If she makes money...
In this way, she can first quietly buy a horse for Keke, and then quietly buy a cow...
Well, it will probably take some time for the shop to make money, at this stage.
Man Bao rolled his eyes and discussed with Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, "Do you think the rich people in the capital would like to buy those particularly beautiful and rare flowers as much as the rich people in Yizhou?"
"Yes," Bai Shan said, "Didn't Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Ji Er live in the capital before?"
Man Bao's eyes lit up and he became happy. He held up his chin and made a wish: "It would be great if all the rich ladies in the capital were as generous and fond of spending money as Mrs. Tang's Mrs. Ji Er."
"Isn't the most important thing how you know them?"
Man Bao looked at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang.
The two of them froze and started thinking, is it too late to find an excuse to leave now?
Naturally, it was too late. Manbao grabbed the two of them and said with a smile: "I leave this matter to you. Although you can't get to know these rich ladies, you can get to know the sons of rich ladies."
Bai Shan slapped her hand away from Bai Erlang and asked, "What flowers do you want to sell?"
He tilted his head and frowned and said, "Didn't the peonies and orchids you gave sir stay in Qili Village, and it's not the flowering season right now."
Man Bao said: "I want to sell chrysanthemums!"
Bai Shan then remembered that autumn was coming soon, and now the early chrysanthemums were blooming.
Bai Erlang asked: "Where did you get the chrysanthemum? It's a rare species..."
Man Bao said: "There is no flower in this world that I can't find. If I can't find it, it must be because I don't have enough time."
This sentence is also meant for Keke. In the future, she will definitely find all the plants that can be found in the world and give them to Keke so that they can be collected.
Keke responded to her with a string of light notes, but the program was uneventful. It thought: Before this, the host has to save its own life, right?
When Bai Erlang heard what she said, he remembered her habit of digging wherever she went. He nodded, thinking that what she said made sense.
Bai Shan felt that Uncle Zhou might have helped, right?
He no longer continued this topic, but thought about it in his mind, how to find these stupid classmates who are rich, like to spend money, and are willing to spend money to buy things after entering the Imperial College.
Bai Erlang had never been worried and was very casual. Although he agreed to Manbao, he didn't plan to work too hard. He decided to wait until he got to know the classmates and got acquainted with them. He would just cheer up and ask who liked chrysanthemums and who wanted to buy them.
, why bother?
What he is more worried about is, "Do you think I can pass the four majors?"
Bai Shan said "Huh" and asked: "Shouldn't it be Taixue? You are not confident about entering the four majors?"
"Tai Xue is a delusion. I think I should be more practical. I will be very satisfied if I can enter the fourth school." Bai Erlang thought very openly. "My eldest brother has studied for so many years and worked so hard, and he only got into the fourth school."
What’s the subject of study?”
He thought it would be better not to let him learn arithmetic, but that would be too much of a headache. Law would also be a headache, as there would be a lot of things to memorize.
Man Bao said: "You are different from Senior Brother Bai. Senior Brother Bai is a big exam. Thousands of people are taking the exam together. You only have forty-eight people. Can't you compete with this?"
"What if those forty-eight people are better than me?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at him and sighed. They patted his shoulders on the left and right and said: "Bai Er, although you can't compare to me in reading, you are not worse than others. You see, in Yizhou City
When we were young, weren't you in the same class as Qi Jue? They were older than you."
Man Bao said: "Junior brother, you have to know that Shan Bao and I are very smart. You can't compare us with ordinary people outside."
