Chapter 1050 Fame 4
Manbao looked at the gentleman, and Baishan also looked at the gentleman.
Mr. Zhuang coughed lightly and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. Three people can make a tiger. There are so many rumors in the capital, and I don't believe everything."
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief.
She carried the silver back into the house and threw it all into the system space, deciding to sort it out when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.
In addition to silver, the Su family also gave a lot of valuable things, including cloth, four treasures of the study, and a box of exquisite pearl jewelry. They were not very expensive, but they looked very beautiful, which was just right for Manbao at his age.
Manbao only took the four treasures of the study and put the other things on the table for everyone to share without much interest.
Zhou Wulang, Zhou Liulang, Datou Ertou, and others took one look at the colorful fabric and then looked away. They waved their hands and said, "You and Lijun can use it to make clothes. Do you really not need to clarify the rumors?"
Bai Erlang said, "What are you trying to clarify? We spent twenty taels of silver to hire someone to pass it on. If we go to clarify it again, wouldn't that twenty taels be wasted?"
Zhou Wulang stretched out two fingers and said tremblingly, "Twenty, twenty taels..."
"Twenty taels?" Manbao was also surprised. "Didn't I only give ten taels?"
Zhou Wulang's eyes almost popped out of his head. He turned around and asked her, "Did you spend this money?"
Manbao said: "If you want to get something, you have to pay first. It's only ten taels of silver. Didn't I earn it back just now?"
"Well, how can it be the same? You saved the person before the rumor started, and this thank you gift was originally meant for you." Zhou Wulang said, "If you want to spread such a rumor, just tell me, and we can take care of it for you."
Zhou Liulang and the others nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right, that's right. Everyone knows how to gossip. When we were in Qili Village, news could spread from one end of the village to the other in less than half a day."
Bai Shan coughed lightly and said, "Brother Zhou Wu, the capital city is much larger than Qili Village. One block is as many as ten Qili Villages. Look at how many blocks there are in the inner city and the outer city?"
He said, "Don't underestimate the importance of fame. If Dashan and his men want to spread the news throughout the eighteen wards of the inner and outer cities, I wonder how many people they will have to hire. Moreover, they will have to tell the story back and forth to keep people interested. Remember, this is the only way to spread Manbao's fame."
Mr. Zhuang on the side nodded approvingly.
"But what good is fame?"
Bai Shan paused and said, "This benefit cannot be explained, but it is known to everyone in the world. If you are a famous scholar, no matter if you are an ordinary person, a powerful person, or even the emperor, you must show more respect, whether it is from the heart or not."
Mr. Zhuang looked at Bai Shan in surprise. He didn't expect that he could think of this and even say it out loud.
Bai Shan said, "As long as a person still has concerns and cares about the world's opinions, he will be more wary of celebrities."
Manbao thought about it and felt that what he said was right, so he nodded and added: "If I become a famous scholar, more people will ask me to treat various difficult and complicated diseases, and I will earn more money."
Mr. Zhuang: ...Why do some words become vulgar when they reach the eldest disciple?
Bai Shan nodded in agreement, obviously agreeing with Manbao's words.
He lowered his head to look at Manbao, and Manbao happened to look up at him, and the two of them smiled at each other across the steps.
Bai Erlang stood aside, looked at this, then turned his head to look at that, and then he shuddered and felt goose bumps all over his body.
Zhou Wulang was convinced by them. He turned around and looked at Manbao carefully. He touched his chest and said, "My youngest sister, who I raised with all my heart and soul, has become a miracle doctor. Why does it seem so strange to me? I'm so nervous."
Big Head: "Fifth Uncle, it's my mother who took care of everything. You can only take my aunt out to play. That's not right. When we were little, it seemed like we took my aunt out to play more."
Zhou Wulang patted him and asked, "Who took care of you? It wasn't me and your sixth uncle."
Manbao ignored them and asked Zhou Lijun to move the remaining gifts back to the room. Then the aunt and nephew picked out the fabrics to make new clothes.
Zhou Lijun said, "It's Mid-Autumn Festival already, and winter is almost here. I heard it's very cold in the capital. Do you want to make some thicker clothes for Uncle Wu and the others?"
"But they can't even wear this fabric."
"When we have time, let's go to the cloth shop."
Manbao thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then I'll buy some for Dad and Big Brother and send them back home with these fabrics."
"It's very expensive to go through the post station."
"Bai Shan and the others will definitely send a letter back, so just have someone take it with them."
Zhou Lijun thought so too and nodded happily in agreement, "Then I will pick out two pieces of the most beautiful fabrics for the eldest sister and the third sister."
"Okay, this pink one is suitable for Daya..."
The aunt and nephew were picking things in the house with great interest. Mr. Zhuang called Bai Shan to the study to talk, and Bai Erlang started playing with Datou and the others.
Even though the fame had passed, no one took it to heart. However, they did not know that Manbao's name was like the Mid-Autumn wind, blowing through every corner of the capital.
The next day, Manbao got off the carriage carrying a basket on her back. When she was about to enter Jishidi Hall, she found that Jishidi Hall was surrounded by people inside and outside. As soon as she got off the carriage, everyone turned their heads to look at her.
A middle-aged man stared at Manbao and asked, "Young lady, are you Doctor Zhou?"
Bai Shan opened the curtain and looked out. Seeing the dense crowd, he immediately said, "Hurry up and get in the car."
Manbao turned around and was about to get in the car, but the shopkeeper, Xiao Zheng, squeezed out of the pharmacy with a few assistants. When he saw her, he grabbed her and surrounded her with his assistants. "Hurry in, hurry in! Oh, I forgot to tell you not to come today. I was so busy..."
"She is Dr. Zhou, the little miracle doctor!"
The crowd suddenly became excited, and everyone rushed towards Manbao, waving their hands and saying, "Divine doctor, divine doctor, please check my illness..."
"Divine Doctor, please take a look at my father. He has been lying in bed for half a year..."
"Divine Doctor, and me, and me..."
Manbao was nearly knocked over by the crowd. Someone put their hands in front of her face. Manbao shouted angrily, "You guys are so lively, what's wrong with you?"
Unfortunately, the place was noisy and no one heard her.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang in the car were stunned. They immediately jumped out and pushed away the people who had squeezed in, shouting, "Everyone calm down. This is a pharmacy, a pharmacy..."
Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng and his men protected Manbao in the middle and broke into the shop from the siege. As soon as they entered the lobby, they pushed everyone into the backyard. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also walked up to the shop in a daze with the help of Daji.
When the shopkeeper, Xiao Zheng, saw them, he also pushed them into the backyard, then he and his servants guarded the door and slammed it shut. Then he turned around with disheveled hair and greeted everyone with a smile: "Everyone calm down, calm down, you have to queue up to see a doctor, you have to queue up."
The next update will be around 10pm
