Chapter 1075 Confession
The three of them were still a little scared when they sat in the carriage.
Bai Shan poked his head out to glance at the two servants riding behind them, then retracted his head and sighed with Man Bao, "I finally understand why Daji had the servants follow us as soon as he realized someone was watching us. Are the people in the capital so scary?"
Manbao shook his head seriously and said, "No, it's the wealthy families that are so scary."
Bai Erlang said, "My family is also a wealthy family. We have never beaten anyone to death."
Bai Shan nodded, "Neither do I have one at home."
Manbao: "Do you have the nerve to say that your family is a wealthy family?"
Bai Erlang has been a bully in Qili Village since he was a child. His family wealth is not only the best in Qili Village, but also well-known in the entire county. He has always been very confident in himself. Even though he has seen the world, met princes, and met aristocratic families, his self-confidence cultivated since childhood has not been greatly affected. So he can still proudly nod to Manbao and say, "What's there to be embarrassed about? My family has a lot of land, a lot of money, and many servants and tenants!"
Bai Shan, who was also very confident, nodded and pointed at Bai Erlang and said, "My family has more land than his family, more money than his family, more servants and tenants than his family, and I am the only son in my family. In the future, everything will be mine."
Sure enough, the only person in this world who can attack Bai Erlang in all directions is Bai Shan.
Bai Erlang stared at Bai Shan.
Manbao couldn't help but burst out laughing. After laughing, he looked at them seriously and said, "There are still differences. Those families have many officials, so they are called wealthy families. When you become officials in the future, and your descendants also become officials and become such wealthy families, you must remember to treat life well and don't treat human life as worthless like them."
Manbao said, "People are different from grass. Once the grass is cut, it will grow again in the spring breeze next year, but once a life is gone, it is gone forever."
Bai Jilang listened and nodded.
Bai Shanze said to Manbao, "You will teach them from now on."
Manbao asked, "Who?"
Bai Shan blushed and said, "My descendants."
"Teach me if you want, why are you blushing?" Manbao saw his red ears and cheeks before she finished speaking. She slowly came to her senses and stared at Bai Shan in a daze.
When Bai Erlang looked up, he saw the two people opposite him, staring at each other in a daze, with only each other in their eyes. He felt a little dissatisfied and cleared his throat heavily.
Man Bao blushed slightly and lowered his head. After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, so he raised his head and looked at Bai Erlang fiercely, "Is your throat uncomfortable? Do you want me to prescribe a dose of antipyretic medicine to clear your throat?"
Bai Shan's blush faded slightly, and her gaze shifted over. She glanced at Bai Erlang and said nothing.
Shirojiro:......
After returning home, the three of them went back to their rooms to wash up, and then went to the study to do their homework while waiting for dinner.
When Bai Erlang arrived at the study, Bai Shan said to Bai Erlang in front of the teacher: "I told the teacher that you might write poetry during the Double Ninth Festival, so I will help you improve your poetry in the next few days."
Bai Erlang had a bad feeling. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I won't do it when the time comes. I don't want to be in the spotlight."
Mr. Zhuang, who was reading a book nearby, gently tapped him on the head with the book and said, "You are useless. When the examiner comes, he will ask for a poem. Will you write one then?"
"Then I don't want him to teach me either," Bai Erlang said, "Sir, isn't it said that a good teacher produces a good student? You are so much better than him, so why don't you teach me?"
"With your level, Bai Shan can teach you." Mr. Zhuang was afraid that if he taught him poetry specifically, he might not be able to calm down.
Bai Erlang turned his head to look at Bai Shan, and Bai Shan gave him a big smile.
Bai Erlang opened his mouth wide. He pointed at Bai Shan and said, "You want to take revenge!"
Mr. Zhuang looked up at him and asked, "What personal grudge do you have?"
Bai Shan just looked at him quietly.
Bai Erlang opened his mouth to complain, but the words were stuck in his throat and couldn't come out. After a long time, he shook his head.
Mr. Zhuang looked at the two of them suspiciously. Manbao came in from outside and asked, "Sir, do I have homework today?"
Mr. Zhuang withdrew his gaze and said to her, "Yes, come here. I'll give you a text. Read it in the next two days. After you've thoroughly read it, I'll give you some questions."
Seeing that Mr. Bai Shan had his back to them, he put his arm around his neck and pulled him out. "Come on, let's go to the garden and read poetry."
Bai Jilang: ...He regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would not have cleared his throat.
Mr. Zhuang looked back at the two disciples and asked Manbao, "Did the two brothers have a fight?"
Manbao blushed slightly and shook his head, but then he remembered something, "Sir, do nobles always kill their servants at will?"
Mr. Zhuang thought for a moment and then shook his head. "I don't know where you came up with this question, but no matter what the issue is, we shouldn't generalize and smear everyone with one stroke."
He said, "County Magistrates Tang and Yang are both from noble families. Do you think they are the kind of people who would execute servants at will?"
Manbao shook his head.
"That's right," Mr. Zhuang said, sitting down at his desk. "However, nobles who have been in high positions for a long time, if they lack compassion, can easily treat human life as worthless. That's why I often tell you to be careful with your words and actions when you arrive in the capital. Because in the eyes of some superiors, not only their servants, but commoners like us are also ants."
Manbao said dejectedly, "I know."
Mr. Zhuang nodded and gestured for her to read the article he had picked out for her. After a moment's thought, he found a classic book from the nearby bookshelf and handed it to her. "You haven't finished reading this law book yet, have you?"
Manbao's scalp tingled, "So many..."
"No rush, read slowly," he said with a smile. "I asked Bai Shan, he reads the law book for three quarters of an hour every night before going to bed, and now he has started to memorize it. If you want to learn medicine, you can't be as good as him, and I don't ask you to memorize it, but you must read it through."
But she still has to go to school in the system at night...
Manbao hugged the thick book and felt like crying but had no tears.
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "You are young now, which is the best age for studying. If you spend two or three quarters of an hour every night before going to bed, you will have finished it in a few years. If you have read this law book thoroughly one day, you will no longer ask questions like the ones you asked today."
Mr. Zhuang's smile faded slightly, and he sighed, "The reason they can treat human life as worthless is, I think, all because of the laws of the Jin Dynasty, no, from the laws of all dynasties."
Manbao didn't quite understand what he heard, but he hugged the book tightly in his arms.
Koko, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "It's a pity for your husband."
My heart was pounding when I wrote this chapter.
