Chapter 1392 All Instructions
The three rooms in the east wing are where Bai Shan and his two companions live, one room each. Behind the east wing is a small garden. Below the small garden, next to the main hall, are the kitchen and two small rooms. The well of the house is near the small garden.
The small courtyard that Bai Dalang rented with someone next door had only one entrance, which happened to be right next to their small garden.
I heard that the house is like this because it once belonged to the same family. It was a large house with two rows of houses, but the family later split up.
One family even sold their house and moved away, and the buyer listed the house for rent together with the original family.
In their front yard, in addition to the gatehouse where the gatekeeper lived, there was also a woodshed, a main room, two main rooms and a wing room.
The rooms you enter were previously occupied by servants, but now that the servants have moved out, most of them are empty.
Santou and Sitou went to live in the place where Silang had originally stayed temporarily. Bai Shan planned to buy a bed and add it to the two main rooms in the front, so that Zhou Wulang and the others would have a place to stay when they came back from the shop in the future.
Besides, Daji will come back with his wife and children, so we have to make room for him.
Manbao listened to Bai Shan's careful plan and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and said, "You decide."
Bai Shan decided, "Then it's settled. Tomorrow, Zhou Wu and the others will go to the street to take a look. Do you want to come with us?"
Manbao shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't be free."
She promised the prince to make the antidote. Although it was not made by her, she could not remain ignorant of everything, so she had to read the information at home and make a show that she was really making the antidote.
Manbao frowned and said, "If you pass by Jishitang, please ask for leave for me. Tell me that there are some matters in the palace and I can't sit in the hall for a while."
Bai Shan nodded. He was just about to quietly ask what happened in the palace when Zhou Wulang strolled over. After staring at the two of them for a while, he said, "Manbao, did anything happen to you when you went into the palace today?"
Manbao shook his head, "No."
Zhou Wulang was relieved, nodded, and walked away leisurely. However, before leaving, he couldn't help but remind the two of them, "It's getting dark and very cold. Let's talk tomorrow. Go and get some rest first."
Bai Shan and Man Bao nodded together.
Bai Shan saw him leave and turned to ask something when Datou came out from the side room again, holding a quilt in his arms. He paused as he passed by the two of them, turned around and asked, "Auntie, did you have a smooth journey to the palace today?"
Bai Shan: ...
Manbao nodded and said, "It went smoothly."
Datou nodded, hugging the quilt but not leaving. He glanced at Bai Shan, then at Manbao, and said quietly, "It's cold, and you guys have been traveling for so many days. You should have a good rest and don't talk for too long."
Bai Shan and Man Bao nodded together.
After Datou left, Bai Shancai wanted to talk to Manbao. Erya came back from the front yard with Sanya. Seeing the two of them sitting in the yard, she asked, "Auntie, are you still awake?"
Bai Shan immediately stopped and waited for her to continue.
Erya really pulled Sanya aside and asked Manbao, "Auntie, when you entered the palace today, did the nobles there lose their temper?"
Manbao continued to lie with his eyes open and shook his head, "No."
Erya looked relieved and said to the two of them, "Little aunt, go to bed quickly. You must be exhausted today. Master Shan, you should also go to rest."
Manbao held back his laughter and nodded with Bai Shan, who looked calm.
After they left, Bai Shan turned to look at Man Bao. Man Bao waited for a while, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he smiled and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Bai Shan: "I want to see who else is coming."
Bai Erlang and Santou came running from the front yard. When they saw the two people, they greeted them. Santou was about to follow Bai Erlang into the house, but when he saw the two people sitting still in the yard, he stopped.
Bai Shan looked at them with round eyes.
Bai Erlang looked puzzled. He scratched his head, looked at this, then looked at that, then shook off Santou's hand and said, "Then wait here, I'll get it for you."
Bai Shan asked, "What do you want?"
"Get a quilt. I have some extra quilts. They're all squeezed together and there aren't enough quilts. I'll get them one."
After saying that, Bai Erlang ran into the house and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets looking for a quilt.
The three-headed man stared at the two of them for a while and then asked, "Little aunt, were you bullied when you entered the palace today?"
Manbao: "...Children should stay out of the adults' business."
Santou was unconvinced, "I'm two months older than you."
Manbao could only reply, "I wasn't bullied. Everything was fine. It went very smoothly."
The three men nodded, looked at Bai Shan again, and said, "It's too cold, you must be tired, go back to the house and go to sleep."
Manbao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Bai Shan: ...
He tried his luck, stood up and said, "Let's go to the study to talk."
Manbao nodded.
Mr. Zhuang was not in good spirits and went to bed early, while the Xiang brothers were still helping him make the bed in the front yard.
The study had been ventilated for the entire afternoon, and Bai Shan and the others had cleaned it. Xiang Mingxue had also used it frequently over the past month, so it didn't look dirty.
It was such a cold day, and the night wind was blowing, but Bai Shan raised the window and turned to look at Man Bao, "That's good, we can talk in peace for a while."
Manbao sat on the chair and looked out. There was no one in the yard. Some were resting, while others were still busy.
She said, "I'm afraid I've been a little busy recently. My fifth brother and the others can take care of everything else, but I'm afraid they don't know much about the school."
Bai Shan knew what she wanted to say and nodded, "Don't worry, I will find out about a good school."
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."
Bai Shan waved his hand like a lord and said, "I am their uncle. It is my duty to do this. No need to thank me."
Manbao: ...
Bai Shan turned and went out. After a while, he came back with a teapot. He poured her a cup of tea and said, "Let's drink some tea and talk slowly. What happened in the palace?"
Manbao held the tea and thought for a moment. After all, she hadn't hidden it from him. She lowered her voice and said, "The prince has been poisoned."
Bai Shan was shocked.
Manbao exhaled and whispered, "I promised them not to tell anyone else."
Bai Shan nodded and said in a low voice: "Husband and wife are one body. I am not someone else."
Manbao: "...It's not shameful at all, we haven't even gotten married yet."
"Engagement counts," Bai Shan argued in a low voice, then asked, "Can you cure the poison?"
Manbao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said truthfully, "I have the antidote, but I don't know how to use it."
Bai Shan was stunned, "That is..."
He realized it belatedly and glanced over her head and asked, "Is that Uncle Zhou?"
See you tomorrow
