Chapter 1301 Diligence
Manbao felt that the reason why she was shorter than Bai Shan and Bai Erlang was because she needed to remember more things than them.
Of course, Bai Shan disagrees with this point, because he has a lot to remember.
Especially after entering the Imperial College, their courses increased a lot. Even Mr. Zhuang could not teach some courses, so they could only learn with the doctors in the Imperial College.
As the exams are approaching, there are more things to remember. Even Bai Erlang has to stay in school for a while after school, let alone Bai Shan.
Yin Huo fell ill after wasting a little too much energy. This time, Man Bao needed to visit him. She gave him an acupuncture and said, "Don't waste too much energy."
Madam Yin immediately advised, "Yes, Qilang, it's good enough that you can study. Your family doesn't need you to strive for fame and honor, so there's no need to waste your energy on this."
When Sister Yin and others heard that their brother was sick and had run back to her mother's home, they nodded repeatedly and started to persuade him. Their meaning was very clear: what would they do if he fell ill again?
Fourth and fifth sisters Yin were already engaged and were about to get married. It would not be good for them if he fell ill at this time.
Yin Huo remained silent. Manbao thought he was quite impressive as his expression didn't change at all despite the noise.
She didn't like to be so long-winded when giving advice. She wrote a prescription, and as she packed up to leave, she said to him, "Don't be greedy."
Yin Huo, who had been silent all the time, nodded after thinking about it. After resting at home for three days, he would not fight so hard with Bai Shan and the others when he went to the academy.
He attended classes seriously, did the homework assigned by the teacher after class, and then read books that interested him. As for whether he could memorize all the texts, he did not force himself to do so.
Occasionally, I would go for a walk in the garden, pull at branches or pluck at leaves that were still growing on the trees.
When he returned to the classroom after a full circle, Bai Shan was still holding a book, reading silently with half-closed eyes. A quick glance revealed that most of the people in the classroom had already left. He walked over, knocked on his desk, and asked, "Did you also study so hard for exams when you were in the prefectural school?"
Bai Shan recited the passage silently twice in his mind, and after confirming that he had memorized it, he put down the textbook and looked up. "I will study harder, but not this hard. Because when I was in the provincial school, I didn't need to study so hard to be among the best."
Yin Huo was curious, "Is it important to be at the top?"
Bai Shan tilted his head, "Is it not important to be at the top?"
Yin Huo thought about it and shook his head. "I've thought about it carefully these past two days, and I don't think it's that important."
So he didn't compete with them.
Bai Shan closed his eyes and said, "It's very important, right? Anyway, I don't want to be worse than others. I'm not dumber than them. Besides, I want to take the imperial examination as soon as possible."
Yin Huo said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You are still young."
"Not young anymore. Didn't Lord Yang take the imperial examination at the age of seventeen?"
Yin Huo laughed, "You are comparing yourself to Senior Yang? Did you know that he is a famous talent in the capital?"
"I know. By the way, tomorrow is a day off. Lord Tang is hosting a banquet for us in his garden. Lord Yang will also be there. Do you want to go?"
Yin Huo was stunned for a moment before asking, "Would it be bad to rush over?"
Bai Shan said: "Lord Yang and Lord Tang both know you. It's okay. If you want to go, we will take you there."
Yin Huo fell into deep thought.
If Xiang Mingxue was his later idol, then Yang Heshu was the person Yin Huo had always admired, and County Magistrate Tang was the person he had always envied.
Of course, Yin Huo was weak before, so he had only seen them twice from a distance and had never even spoken to them, but he knew a lot about them from his sisters.
Especially since his two sisters were of the same age as them and had also had romantic feelings for them.
Unfortunately, except for the eldest sister, they were all born out of wedlock, and they only dared to gather together secretly to discuss it, and did not dare to mention this marriage.
When he was sick before, his sisters liked to gather around him and talk, and he often heard them praise those two.
So Yin Huo hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Bai Shan was also straightforward and nodded, "Okay, then shall we go to your house to pick you up tomorrow? Or will you go by yourself?"
"I'll go by myself. We'll meet outside the door at a certain time."
Bai Shan nodded.
Tang He, Yang Heshu and others have been back for a while, but I haven't had time to get together with them. Mainly because they are busy and Bai Shan and others are not free either.
The reason they finally made time this time was because they were finally not so busy, and secondly, they estimated that Bai Shan and the others would be returning home soon, so they found a time when everyone could get together.
In the evening, there was another heavy snowfall in the capital. Manbao opened the door and felt the cold air blowing in his face. He couldn't help but take a long breath before exhaling.
She rubbed her hands and jumped into the snow for a few rounds to entertain herself, listening to the crunching sound. Then she happily took the wooden basin to the kitchen to get hot water for washing.
After she left, Bai Shan also came out yawning. The two of them washed and changed their clothes. One went to knock on Bai Erlang's door, and the other went to fetch water to help Mr. Zhuang wash.
After they finished their breakfast and read for a while, seeing that the agreed time was approaching, they ran back to the house to take out the newly made fox fur cloaks, put them on, and ran out happily.
Mr. Zhuang watched the three of them running away happily, smiled, shook his head, and loudly reminded them to "Come back early."
The three of them responded from a distance and ran to the front yard and got on the carriage.
Manbao's fox fur coat is white, made from the fox fur given by the Queen. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang's are gray. Manbao also has the same one, but it is not made from the material given by Zhou Silang, but from the material bought by Old Lady Liu and made for them.
The material is also very good, much better than Zhou Silang's batch of furs.
Bai Jilang looked at her white clothes and felt a little jealous. "Why don't you wear the same clothes as us?"
Manbao said, "White looks better in snowy weather."
Bai Shan glanced at her, looked away, and then couldn't help but look at her again. With an irrepressible smile on his face, he nodded and said, "Yes, it looks good."
Bai Erlang glanced at him, turned his head away with hurt eyes, and said, "But the three of us are together, you should wear the same clothes as us, just like when we go to school, everyone wears the same clothes."
Manbao said: "I'm not going to school. When I go back to my hometown, I will wear gray. It won't get dirty."
Bai Shan nodded, "Not bad."
Bai Erlang glared at him and decided not to say anything. Anyway, Bai Shan would agree with whatever Zhou Man said.
When they arrived at the Tang Mansion, the Yin family's carriage was already waiting there. Seeing them get off, Yin Huo also got off by stepping on the horse stool.
He was also wearing a large banner, which, coincidentally, was also gray.
He stepped forward with a crunching sound on the snow. Daji had already knocked on the door with a note in hand. A servant from the Tang residence quickly opened the door and welcomed them in, saying, "Young Master Yang and Madam Yang have also arrived. Please come in, distinguished guest."
The next update will be around 11pm
