Chapter 1053 Have you taken leave?
The two of them felt nervous and immediately pulled their heads towards the window. As a result, they were too hasty and their heads bumped into each other. Manbao felt a pain on his head, while Baishan's eyes turned red and he covered his chin with his hands, unable to speak.
The two of them huddled in the car. Manbao covered his head and looked at his face guiltily, "Are you okay? Let me take a look."
She pried his hand apart and took a look at his chin, then asked, "Open your mouth so I can see inside."
Bai Shan opened her mouth with red eyes for her to see. Man Bao lowered her head and looked carefully, whispering, "It seems swollen. Did you bite it?"
Bai Shan nodded slightly.
Bai Erlang also leaned forward to take a look, but Bai Shan pushed his head away in disgust and said vaguely, "You're not a doctor, what are you looking at?"
Daji had already waited for the old lady's carriage to pass, then turned the carriage around and followed them. The servants of the Bai family specially left space for them.
Because there were still people ahead who were panting and still insisting on chasing them, Daji called a servant and got into the carriage himself.
Their carriage blended in among the convoys and passed in front of the sparse number of people without them noticing, and successfully turned back to Changqing Lane.
Madam Liu lifted the curtain and peeked outside. She said to Liu Gui, who had come out to greet her, "The last two carts are for Mr. Zhuang. Dalang, Erlang, and Manbao's belongings will be unloaded here. The rest will be sent back to our villa. Have someone clean up the house and boil some water. We'll be there later."
Liu Gui bent down and agreed, and reached out to help his mother down. Then Nanny Liu turned around and helped Zheng down, and then the two of them reached out to help Old Madam Liu.
Bai Shan, who was in the carriage at the back, had already jumped off and ran up with Manbao and Bai Erlang. The three of them pushed aside Madam Liu and Zheng, and cleverly reached out to help Madam Liu.
Madam Liu lowered her eyes to glance at the three of them, then put her hand on theirs as they got out of the car. She ignored Bai Shan and directly helped Man Bao into the car, smiling and asking, "What were you going to do?"
Manbao's left hand was supported, so he scratched his head with his right hand: "We..."
She couldn't help but look at Bai Shan who was standing beside her.
Madam Liu then looked at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang and asked, "Aren't you going to school today?"
The three children all widened their eyes, and then they remembered this. Yes, they were going to school!
Madam Liu glanced at the three of them, held Manbao's hand and said, "Let's go in and meet Mr. Zhuang first."
Mr. Zhuang was the only one at home now. When he heard that Madam Liu and her family had arrived, he came out to greet them. As a result, he also saw three of their disciples who were supposed to be going to work or school.
He paused for a moment, then walked forward and invited Madam Liu in.
Old Madam Liu greeted him with a smile and went to the backyard to talk to Mr. Zhuang.
She told him about her journey, and Mr. Zhuang also said that everything was fine for them in Beijing.
After the two of them finished discussing the most basic things, they turned their heads to look at the three people standing beside them.
The three of them lowered their heads together. Mr. Zhuang frowned slightly and asked, "If you wanted to pick up the old lady, why didn't you tell your master?"
Manbao swallowed hard. As the eldest sister, she had to explain the misunderstanding. "Sir, we didn't know the old lady was coming to Beijing today. We met her on the road."
Mr. Zhuang frowned even more tightly, "Then why didn't you go to school or work?"
The three of them looked at each other, lowered their heads and told each other about what happened today when they were surrounded by people.
Madam Liu was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Is Manbao now a famous doctor in the capital?"
Manbao was a little embarrassed and whispered, "I bought it with money."
The Bai family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned. "What?"
Bai Shan said embarrassedly: "Grandma, we bought this with our own money."
Then he told her how they had spent twenty taels of silver to get someone to help them become famous.
The Bai family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned.
Mr. Zhuang coughed lightly. They had learned this from him, so he skipped the discussion and asked, "How could it spread so widely and deeply in just one night?"
The three of them nodded together.
Mr. Zhuang frowned, "Those people still believed it?"
"Whether they believed it or not, they just surrounded Manbao and kept calling her a miracle doctor. They crowded into Jishiditang and begged her to treat them." Bai Shan said, "It's crazy. I've never seen people so crazy in my life, even during the Mid-Autumn Festival. We had no choice but to run away."
Mr. Zhuang frowned, turned his head and looked at Madam Liu, then said, "Don't go out today. I'll ask someone to go out and ask around."
"No," Manbao wanted to go out and listen to what people were saying about her. She said, "Sir, they don't recognize me. As long as I don't go to Jishiditang, no one will recognize me when I walk on the street."
Mr. Zhuang glanced at her and asked, "You want to go out?"
Bai Shan said, "The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Let's go ask Dashan."
Let me ask him where on earth he got the ability to accomplish such a thing in just one day and one night.
Mr. Zhuang said, "I'm afraid this is not something he can do."
"Let's ask him," Manbao said, "He's in this business, so he must know something. Otherwise, where else can we find out on the street?"
Mr. Zhuang thought so too, glanced at Mrs. Liu, and waved goodbye to let them go.
It just so happened that he also wanted to tell Madam Liu about what had happened recently. The emperor wanted Bai Shan and others to file a complaint in advance, so they had to discuss countermeasures.
The three of them were about to leave happily after receiving the order, but Mr. Zhuang suddenly remembered and stopped them, saying, "You two are not going to school. Have you asked for leave from the Imperial College?"
Bai Shan and Bai Jilang: ...
Mr. Zhuang understood immediately and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead. I'll ask someone to ask for leave for you."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Shan said, "Sir, remember to ask for sick leave for us."
Mr. Zhuang glanced at him and nodded slightly. After they left, he wrote a note asking for leave on their behalf and asked Liu Gui to send it to the Imperial College.
Bai Shan and the others ran away as if a tiger was chasing them. Once they got in the car, they found that they were still in disarray, so they turned their backs to tidy up their appearance.
Daji took them to look for Dashan, but they didn't find him at the original location.
The three of them stood at the entrance of the alley, looking around, somewhat confused. "The person is missing, where can we go to find him?"
Bai Shan looked around and said, "No hurry. Let's go a little further. There are a lot of people selling things at stalls over there. They often hang out in this area. Let's go ask them."
The three of them went to ask for money in their pockets, dug out some copper coins, and went to the front to buy some food. After buying some food, they asked, "Uncle, do you know Dashan who often plays in the alley ahead?"
The uncle looked at the three of them and saw that they were about the same age as Dashan, so he nodded and said, "I know, you guys are looking for him to play?"
Bai Shan nodded, "But he's not here today. Do you know where to find him?"
