Chapter 1631 Joyful
The next morning, except for Mr. Bai's family and the Cheng family, everyone else in the house packed up their things, harnessed their horses and mules, and prepared to go out.
Of course, Bai Erlang is not on Master Bai's side.
Mr. Bai and Cheng Dalang stood at the door and watched them run away happily. The two in-laws looked at each other and inexplicably wanted to sigh.
Although Yongzhou is very close to the capital, so close that officials, students and young men in the capital like to ride horses from here to Yongzhou for vacation during holidays, Manbao and his friends have never been there once.
After leaving the East City Gate and onto the spacious and busy street, Manbao tightened his veil and rode away first. Baishan also covered his mouth and nose with a cloth towel and rode after him.
Bai Erlang screamed, "Wait for me."
As soon as he opened his mouth, dust flew up from a car coming from the opposite lane and flew directly into his mouth. Bai Erlang was so angry that he made a few "Pooh" sounds and covered his mouth and nose with a towel before riding his horse to chase the two men.
Daji then took two guards to chase the three people.
Bai Shuping also came with Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu. Even his mother went with them to Yongzhou to play. Only his eldest brother could not leave because he was still practicing martial arts in the escort agency.
Practicing martial arts is different from studying for them. The latter have holidays, but his elder brother does not have that when practicing martial arts. Basically, he never leaves the escort agency except during the Chinese New Year.
Unless he has learned enough to start escorting independently.
Bai Shuping lifted the curtain and looked at the traffic and people coming and going outside with Zhou Lixue. He was also hit by dust in the face. He lowered the curtain and said, "It's really lively."
Zhou Lixue said: "The capital is the largest and most bustling city I have ever seen."
Zhou Ligu: "... Third brother, how many cities have you seen in total? And the capital is the capital, so it's naturally the largest and most lively."
Old Zhou also pulled the curtains and looked outside. Unlike the other children who disliked the dust, he didn't care about it at all. So he said to Zhou Dalang directly in the dust, "As long as Yongzhou has more than half the population of Beijing, there will be no problem finding farmers. Besides, I think Beijing is not far from Yongzhou. If you can't find farmers there, you can come here and find them."
Zhou Dalang looked at the people coming and going on the official road and asked, "Dad, do you see anyone out there who looks like he can farm?"
Old Zhou just stared outside without saying anything.
Old Madam Liu was talking to Qian with a smile on her face. "Yongzhou is cooler than the capital, and we live in the manor, so it's even cooler, just in time to avoid the heat of autumn. We've planted a lot of fruits and vegetables in the fields, so please invite your mother-in-law to go pick some when the time comes."
Qian agreed with a smile.
There was a sound of horse hooves. Qian opened the curtain and saw Manbao riding away like a gust of wind. Bai Shan followed closely on horseback. It took a while for Bai Erlang to catch up. She half-dropped the curtain and said to Mrs. Liu, "Manbao is getting more and more naughty. Sometimes I get a little scared when I see her riding."
Madam Liu smiled and said, "The children have been very busy these past few months. Now that they have some free time, let them do whatever they want. They all learned riding from Daji, so they can't be that bad. Besides, Daji is always with them."
Mrs. Meng happened to be sitting nearby and smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.
Old Madam Liu was thoughtful and took care of everyone in the car. Mrs. Qian was also a very good person. The two of them got along well with each other and the atmosphere was very good.
According to her status, she should be talking to Zheng, but she gets along better with Old Madam Liu. Although Xiao Qian is a generation younger than Zheng, the two of them get along better, mainly because they are of the same age and have more topics to talk about.
Meng naturally spoke together with Xiao Qian and Zheng.
It was also the first time for Li Jun and Li Ru to leave the capital for Yongzhou. They sat by the car window and chatted all the way.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and in just half a day they arrived at the Bai family's farm.
The manager of the manor had received the news in advance last night, and had people clean the courtyard and rooms early in the morning to welcome the master and guests in.
Old Madam Liu invited them to stay. Since it was a rural area and there were limited rooms in the farm, many people had to share the room.
But no one will despise it. Who among those present has not experienced hard times? No matter how hard it is, can it be as hard as sleeping in the wild on the way from the village to the capital?
Manbao lived with Lijun Liru, while Baishan lived with Bai Erlang. Everyone moved in after their rooms were allocated.
After putting down the luggage, he immediately ran towards the orchard in the village.
All the crops in the field have been harvested, and the field is now empty, with only some melon fields still with racks, and an orchard not far away.
Manbao and his friends ran into the orchard to look at the fruit trees. It was the time to eat dates, and there were also late pears.
A group of young people immediately started shouting, "Look, these green dates are ready to eat."
"It looks pretty big, I wonder how it tastes."
Manbao immediately jumped up, pulled down a relatively low branch, picked a leaf, and said, "I'll try it for you."
Everyone looked at her. Manbao took a bite, his eyes lit up, and his face couldn't help but show joy. Without her saying anything, Bai Shan immediately said, "It's sweet. Come and hit it with the stick."
Everyone ran away, and Zhuangzi took the poles. Those who couldn't grab a pole went to find a long stick, and everyone started to hit the dates under the tree.
After just two blows, Bai Shan and the others couldn't help but feel heartbroken, "You guys should have been gentler."
Zhou Lijun kicked off his shoes, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Why are you fighting? Wait, I'll climb the tree and pick it for you."
Zhou Lixue immediately dropped his pole as well, "Second sister, I'll go with you."
So he took off his shoes and followed Zhou Lijun up the tree.
Manbao looked at them, then looked down at his shoes, then looked at Bai Shan and whispered, "Shouldn't you be more stable now that you're an official?"
Bai Shan was already taking off his shoes. He said, "No one here knows you're an official except our own people."
Manbao thought the same thing and immediately took off his shoes. He and Baishan found another tree that looked like it had a lot of fruits and climbed up.
Bai Erlang also climbed. Although he was not as good as Bai Shan and Zhou Man in climbing trees, he was not much worse than Zhou Lixue.
Everyone climbed up the tree and started picking out the big, ripe green dates and throwing them down. Zhou Ligu and the others were responsible for picking them up.
Bai Shuping's mouth opened wide, and it took him a long time to recover. He turned around and asked Zhou Ligu, "Master, I, I mean, how come Bai Shan and your aunt can still climb trees?"
"What's the big deal? They can even go down to the river," Zhou Ligu said. "They could already crawl when I was very young. I think it was my fourth uncle who taught them. Because of this, my fourth uncle was even chased and beaten by my grandfather."
Bai Shuping said, "My eldest brother can't even crawl."
Because Bai Boan was forced to study since he was a child, even though he is stronger and likes to be active, he dare not do such naughty things.
I didn’t expect that the young master and the others could actually do it.
See you at 10pm
