Bai Erlang cried loudly, "I'm like this and you still scold me!"
Man Bao pressed his palm hard, and Bai Erlang screamed, immediately becoming more energetic.
Man Bao asked: "Who took you to gamble?"
Bai Erlang sobbed and said: "Everyone went there. We just went to watch polo. As a result, many people placed bets. They asked me. I thought it was very interesting. Isn't it just to guess which team will win and which team will lose? I'll bet.
We don’t have much money, so we just treat it for fun.”
"Can you win two hundred taels if you don't have much money?" Manbao said angrily: "Uncle Shi in the county, doesn't his family have any money? At first, I wanted to have fun, but as a result, now the shop and the land are for sale.
There is only one house left, and now I can only live outside as a businessman. If you look at the leper in the village, his wife and daughter asked him to sell him. Isn’t this miserable enough? "
Bai Erlang was stunned, "I, I..."
Bai Shan asked, "Did Zhang Jinghao take you to gamble?"
Bai Erlang thought carefully, shook his head and said: "That's not true. We all went to play together, and we also placed bets and had fun together."
"How did you win so much money?"
"I don't know either. I just bet four times, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. I won them all. I only bet the twenty taels I had with me at the beginning, but then I made more and more money for no reason.
Bai Erlang sobbed and said, "I really didn't want to gamble. They all said that everyone in the capital, including the emperor, likes to bet on polo. This is an elegant thing."
Bai Dalang, who stood at the door and listened for a long time, finally understood the reason. He rolled up his sleeves and walked in. He asked with a cold face, "Are you going to gamble?"
Bai Erlang raised his head and looked at his elder brother with tearful eyes.
Bai Dalang didn't relent, he lifted him up and pressed him on his lap before spanking him. Compared with spanking the palm, the fleshy butt obviously didn't hurt much, but Bai Erlang still screamed like a ghost.
Neither Bai Shan nor Man Bao stopped him.
A spanking won't hurt anyway.
Bai Dalang slapped his hand seven or eight times until it hurt. Bai Erlang lay on the bed and cried, not wanting to stay with his elder brother anymore.
Man Bao helped him bandage his hand and said, "Let's go home."
Bai Dalang said: "Let him sleep here, don't go over and make sir unhappy again."
Bai Shan said: "Senior brother has to go to school tomorrow, so let him go back to his room to sleep. Sir has already gone to bed, and you also know that Sir has always been generous. Since he has been punished, he will not do it again.
Hit him for this."
Man Bao nodded.
As soon as Bai Erlang heard that his husband had fallen asleep, he immediately got up and went back to his room.
Bai Shan supported him, Man Bao carried the basket, and the three of them went home together.
With a livid face, Bai Dalang called Gao Song: "Tomorrow, go and inquire about a man named Zhang Jinghao."
He paused and then said: "From tomorrow on, you have to keep an eye on the second young master. He is not allowed to wander outside after school."
Gao Song responded quickly.
Bai Erlang lay down on the bed sobbing. He was a little scared a moment ago, "Will Sir beat me again tomorrow?"
Bai Shan said: "It depends on the situation. If you are really afraid, you should get up early and go to school tomorrow. Why don't you just avoid your husband? When you come back, you can go to your husband to apologize."
After hearing this idea, Bai Erlang felt a little relieved and fell asleep the next moment.
But even though he fell asleep, he still shook and cried and burped from time to time.
Bai Shan put out the light. When he saw Gao Song coming back from the next door, he waved to him and said, "You can sleep in his outside room tonight. See if he will be frightened, and be careful of getting fever late at night."
Takamatsu had no choice but to agree and cautiously entered the room to take a break.
Bai Erlang had a nightmare at night. He cried for a while in his dream, but his fever did not go away. When he woke up the next day, there was nothing wrong except for red and swollen eyes.
Manbao sliced the ginseng sent by Yin You, weighed it and divided it into pieces. He gave it to Aunt Rong along with the medicine package, and asked her to boil the medicine and put it in a bamboo tube.
Bai Shan had breakfast, put the sealed bamboo tube in the book basket and went out.
Mr. Zhuang walked around and didn't find Bai Erlang, so he asked: "Where is Bai Erlang?"
Bai Shan lowered his head guiltily and said, "Third Junior Brother knew that he was wrong, so he went to school early in the morning."
It was quite early. I didn't even eat breakfast. As soon as I got up, I patted my face with swollen eyes and asked Gao Song to hitch the carriage and go to school. He probably had breakfast outside.
Mr. Zhuang glanced at Bai Shan and Man Bao, snorted and said, "Let him come back early this afternoon. I have something to say to him."
Bai Shan responded.
When Bai Shan went to school, Man Bao immediately picked up his backpack and followed him.
Daji first sent Manbao to Jishitang, and then sent Baishan to the Imperial College.
Bai Shan carried the book basket into the classroom. He looked around and saw Yin You. After putting down his book basket, he took out the medicine cartridge from it, walked over and handed it to him, "Have you had breakfast?"
Yin You took it and touched it. It was still hot, so he nodded.
"Then drink it while it's hot," Bai Shan turned to leave. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered and took out a paper-wrapped candy from his purse and placed it on his table, saying, "Here you go, sweet."
of."
Yin You looked up at him suspiciously, "Did Miss Zhou give it to me?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "This candy is mine."
Even if the candy was given by Man Bao, it was for him to eat, and it was up to him whether to transfer it or not.
Yin You glanced at him and accepted the candy.
The whole class had been quietly watching here, and they were all shocked when they saw their interaction.
Goodbye Yin or opened the bamboo tube, and a bitter medicinal smell floated out from it. Without thinking, he tested the temperature and swallowed the medicine with a normal expression.
Yin or drank the medicine and slowly sealed the lid back. He sipped his mouth with the tea next to his hand before looking at the candy on the desk.
After thinking about it, he peeled off the paper and put the candy inside in his mouth.
Yin You didn't eat less sweets when he was a child. After all, he had to take medicine since he was a child, but this was the first time he had such sweet sweets.
Yin You was stunned for a while before he reacted, and then he chewed the candy reluctantly.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at the medicine cartridge at hand, stood up, took it and handed it to Bai Shan.
Bai Shan took it.
Yin You paused for a while, then said awkwardly: "Thank you."
Bai Shan raised his eyes and looked at him, "You're welcome. By the way, she said she would prepare a medicine bag for you to help you sleep. You can put it under your pillow later and it should help you sleep."
He took a look at the blue-black color under his eyes. In the past, he only thought that he was like this because of poor health, but now it seems that it is because of insomnia?
Bai Shan, who has always slept on the pillow, has occasionally experienced insomnia. He knows that the feeling is very painful, and this person has suffered from insomnia for many years, so it is even more painful.
Yin You's chest rose slightly and his eyes were a little red. He blinked and immediately lowered his head so that no one could see him. He only gave a low response and returned to his seat to sit down.
The whole class had been watching quietly, and now their mouths were slightly opened, with blank expressions on their faces, "Is this...reconciliation?"
"It doesn't look like it. Yin was about to cry again just now, right?"
"It's not like you're crying because you're being bullied, it's like you're moved?"
"You're not from a girl's family, why do you cry so much?"
