Chapter 1242 Blushing
After finally seeing off Madam Han, Manbao quickly ran out to find Daji, "Let's go to my fifth brother's restaurant."
Daji didn't quite understand what he was going there for, but he drove out of the inner city anyway.
Manbao jumped off the carriage and waved to Daji, saying, "Daji, go back and get Bai Shan and Bai Er. I'll treat them to dinner today."
Daji: ...
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Manbao, and after a while he got back into the car and left.
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief, put the medicine box on the counter, told Zhou Lijun that he was going shopping, and ran out with his hands waving.
The intersection where Bai Shan was was not far from here, so Manbao ran over quickly. The two of them met each other, and Keke checked for them and let them in after confirming that there was no one in the alley.
The two of them led a pony to the end of the alley, and Manbao asked, "How much is this horse?"
"Twenty-nine taels, one tael left."
Manbao smiled and said, "I'll give it to you guys to eat later."
When they arrived at the location where they had recorded the horses last time, Koko made sure that no one could see them, and then recorded them in front of Bai Shan.
When Xiao Ma disappeared before his eyes, even Bai Shan, who had experience, was surprised. Then he hesitated and bowed to the place where Xiao Ma had just stood, calling out "Uncle Zhou".
Manbao: ...
She grabbed Bai Shan's hand and pulled him out of the alley. "Don't salute. He's riding away on his horse."
Bai Shan: "Is the horse for riding?"
"Otherwise, it's not for eating, right?"
Bai Shan scratched his head. He didn't know what to do with it. It seemed like riding it would be nice too.
The two of them walked out of the alley hand in hand. When people on the street saw them, they couldn't help but look at them twice. Manbao then felt something was wrong and was about to let go of her hand.
Bai Shan grabbed it, tilted his head to one side, pointed at the street stalls with red ears and asked Manbao, "Look, there are so many foods."
Manbao's face also turned slightly red, and he nodded and stopped pulling his hand away.
After walking for a long time, the heat on their faces and ears finally subsided a little, and they finally heard the various hawking sounds on the street, "Silk, bright and beautiful silk..."
"Cotton, soft and smooth cotton..."
The two of them turned their heads to look, and then they realized that half of the street was filled with shops selling cloth, and there was no food at all.
Bai Shan couldn't help but turn her head to look at Manbao. They looked at each other, turned their faces away at the same time, and walked back hand in hand with red faces.
Seeing Lao Zhou's restaurant from afar, Bai Shan reluctantly let go of Manbao's hand. Manbao blushed, held his hands in front of him, and just stared ahead.
Neither of them spoke. After walking forward for a while, they felt someone was staring at them. They looked up and around, and at a glance, they saw Daji standing at the street corner looking at them.
Bai Shan and Man Bao: ...
The two of them felt quite guilty, and the redness on their faces that had just faded began to return.
Bai Shan coughed lightly, glanced at Man Bao and walked forward first, "Daji, why are you here?"
Daji sighed inwardly, feeling that the young master had indeed grown up, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "Young Master Tang and the others have arrived. I'll come out to meet Manbao."
When Daji was sent away, he thought Manbao was going to do something secretly, but when he returned to Changqing Lane, he found out that the young master was not at home.
So he rushed over immediately after picking up Bai Erlang and the Xiang brothers, fearing that they would encounter danger outside. But these two people avoided him just to go shopping together?
Daji glanced at their hands, stepped aside and said, "Master, Miss Man, let's go up."
The two of them nodded with slightly blushing faces.
Bai Erlang and the others were already sitting in the box. Seeing the two people come in with red faces, he turned his head to look out the window and asked, "There's no sun today, why are your faces so red?"
Bai Shan asked, "Have you ordered?"
"What do you want to order? We're not at a restaurant. We can just eat whatever Brother cooks on Saturday," Bai Erlang said, turning the subject back to "Where were you so early this morning? I couldn't find the article I just wrote, so I asked Brother Xiang to help me with it."
Xiang Mingxue, who was sitting nearby, nodded and smiled, "The writing isn't as good as Bai Shan's, but it's passable. By the way, Doctor Zhou, I hope you won't mind coming here uninvited?"
Manbao shook his head, "Of course not. You should have walked around more often to relax."
She said, "It's a pity that the Empress Dowager's illness keeps recurring, and Imperial Doctor Zheng and the others can't spare the time to see you. Fortunately, we are also dealing with the effusion and recuperating, so there's no rush."
Xiang Mingxue nodded.
Bai Erlang's attention was finally diverted. He turned to Xiang Mingxue and asked, "Brother Xiang, if your leg is healed, what are you going to do?"
Xiang Mingxue was stunned for a moment, then thought for a long time before saying, "Let's go back home. The ancestral hall needs to be renovated. Those people who followed me to seek revenge are nowhere to be found now. I happen to have a lot of land in Dongxi Village, so I can give some to them when the time comes, so they can live and work in peace."
Bai Erlang was quite disappointed to see that the plan was mediocre.
Bai Shan asked, "Then won't you marry and have children?"
Xiang Mingxue smiled and said, "Of course I want to get married and have children. I won't be able to take the imperial examinations or the civil service examinations in this lifetime, so I want to open a school in the village. If I can be half as good as Mr. Zhuang in the future, I will be satisfied."
Bai Shan said, "Then we will give you some books."
Teaching requires a lot of books. They are not for students to read, but for teachers to read so that they can teach students better.
Manbao said, "I can ask my eldest brother and the others to give you some wheat seeds. The new wheat seeds produced in our village are very good, and the yield is much higher than ordinary wheat."
Xiang Mingxue smiled and said, "I've heard of it. Thank you very much."
Bai Erlang looked around and asked, "What can I give you?"
Bai Shan rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you give them some cattle? Cattle can be used for farming. They have few people and a lot of land, so it's just right."
A cow weighs three or four taels, it's very expensive.
Bai Erlang was a little reluctant. He was not County Magistrate Yang, so where would he get so much money?
Manbao also thought of something and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right, send the cow. You can also write this paragraph in the book. You and Brother Xiang have such a good relationship, it's a good opportunity to write it down for others to learn from."
Bai Erlang's eyes lit up at the thought that he could actually appear in the book, not just on the cover, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I'll make it an even number. Brother Xiang, I'll give you ten cows."
Bai Shan and Man Bao nodded in satisfaction, and when their eyes met, they both smiled.
Xiang Mingxue: ...
Zhou Lizhong brought the food over. "Aunt, Sixth Uncle said he pickled some fish. Do you want to take some home?"
Manbao refused, "Forget it, Sixth Brother's cooking is not as delicious as that of Sister-in-law."
Zhou Lizhong agreed, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll sell it to the Yizhou merchants passing by. They like to bring jar vegetables with them on the road."
See you tomorrow
