Chapter 1643 Go Duck
What can Qingyu say?
He could only smile stiffly and said, "It is the honor of the servants to serve the master. How dare I accept the master's gift?"
Liu Huan looked at them proudly.
Manbao and the other two hesitated, "Is that so?"
This is quite different from what they have known since childhood.
Bai Shan was the first to come back to his senses. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. No matter what, don't change what's already been decided."
He said to Manbao and Bai Erlang, "Besides, we're already used to this. If we change it hastily, it will be difficult to manage. It's better to just go with the flow. Anyway, I think that book is still very useful. At least I think the farmhands in our small farm are much more capable than those in my cousin's family."
Bai Erlang had the most say, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Yes, our farmhand is more capable than my father's farmhand."
So the three of them looked at Yin Huo and Liu Huan confidently again, especially Liu Huan, and said solemnly: "You should learn it too."
Yin Huo remained silent and returned the manuscript to them. "Then you must serve as an official for a longer period of time. Mulberry trees take three years to harvest leaves and raise silkworms. If you only serve for two years and then quit, won't these tenant farmers suffer a huge loss?"
Manbao thought it was true and immediately said, "I will work diligently when I get back."
Bai Shan put the things away and handed them to Daji, then stood up, stretched, and said after moving his arms and legs: "Let's go for a walk?"
Liu Huan looked around and asked, "Where are Madam Liu and the others?"
Manbao said, "They left early. We were supposed to go together, but since you guys haven't woken up yet, we'll just wait for you here."
Bai Erlang became excited and said, "Come on, let's go out and see the night view and lanterns of Yongzhou."
As a result, as soon as they opened the gate, they happened to meet a waiter with a large group of people coming over. When the two sides saw each other, Liu Huan and Yin Huo were immediately surrounded.
A middle-aged steward came over from Liu Huan's household. He threw himself to the ground, hugged Liu Huan's legs, and cried, "Young Master, you scared me to death. How could you come to Yongzhou City without saying a word?"
Liu Huan said, "Who said I didn't tell you? Didn't I send someone back to tell my family that I was in Yongzhou City to see my aunt?"
The middle-aged steward paused in his sobbing, then raised his tearless face and continued crying, "But young master, this is not the aunt's residence. You don't know how panicked we were when we arrived at the aunt's residence and couldn't find you. Thanks to the Yin family's retainer, he found out that the two young masters were at the Fulai Inn, so we rushed here. Otherwise, if we hadn't found the young masters this evening, we wouldn't have lived..."
But on Yinhu's side, less than three steps away from them, the scene was completely different.
The Yin family's retainer bowed to Yin Huo and said, "My Lord has asked me to bring you some personal belongings and to protect you."
Yin Huo nodded and pointed at Changshou, saying, "I've booked a room upstairs, but I'm not staying here. Let Changshou take you there. I'll leave my personal belongings in Mr. Bai's room."
Of course Changshou couldn't go, and the family servants couldn't leave either. In the end, the family servants and the servants' belongings were given to the waiter to take to the upper room, while Changshou took Yin Huo's belongings and turned to deliver them to Bai Shan's room.
During this period, the family would not allow them to leave and insisted that they go together.
Liu Huan had a terrible headache. He tried to comfort the middle-aged steward who was crying non-stop, and finally agreed to take all the five servants he brought with him and only let them go out with Manbao after they stopped running around.
The Bai family originally left five guards for Bai Shan and his group, plus Daji. Now with them added, they marched out into the street in a mighty procession. Everyone instantly stood three feet away from the five of them, for fear of bumping into this noble young man and young lady who came from nowhere.
Manbao and the other two: ...
However, now is not the time to discuss this, because if we delay for a while, it will be dark!
The night watchman just happened to strike the first watch, and then shouted loudly: "First watch - light the lamp -"
Not only the night watchmen on this street, but also the night watchmen on other streets started to ring the bell and shout. Then, people on the street began to light lanterns in front of their doors...
Lanterns lit up before my eyes, stretching out like a fire dragon, and the lantern sheds on both sides of the broad road were also lit up one by one...
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the lit lamp shed became brighter and brighter in the darkness. Not to mention Man Bao and the other two country bumpkins who had never seen the world, even Liu Huan, who traveled between the capital and Yongzhou for many years, was stunned.
He exclaimed in amazement, "This is the first time I've seen people light lanterns in my life... Before, when I went out on the street, the lanterns were already lit, and it was the busiest time."
If he was like this, let alone Bai Shan and the other two, who all exclaimed, "How beautiful!"
Bai Shan exclaimed, "These lanterns are even more beautiful than flowers, and the lantern sheds are more dazzling than the flower sheds. A street of lanterns is more beautiful than a thousand flowers."
Manbao and Bai Erlang could only nod vigorously.
The four of them were amazed and gradually felt that something was wrong. Why did it seem like one person's voice was missing?
So I turned around and saw that Yin Huo had already stared blankly ahead, unable to recover from the lanterns on the entire street ahead.
Manbao stretched out his hand and waved in front of him, and Yin Huo came back to his senses. He looked down at Manbao in confusion.
Manbao smiled and said, "Is this your first time seeing lanterns?"
Yin Huo nodded, and once again couldn't help but look up at the bright street in front of him, and said softly: "I have only seen lanterns in the mansion before."
But how many lanterns are there in the mansion?
How can that compare with the millions of lights on the streets?
What's more, the Yin Mansion is deserted. Everyone in the family knows that he doesn't like crowds, so even on festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Lantern Festival, they rarely get close to him. How can that deserted appearance be compared with the slight bustle on the streets?
Bai Shan and the other two then remembered that they had lived in Qili Village since childhood, so they had rarely seen the Lantern Festival in big cities. However, they had seen lantern festivals in places like Luojiang County and Yizhou City. In comparison, Yin Huo was the real "country bumpkin". Even though he had lived in the capital for more than ten years, he had never seen a Lantern Festival.
The three of them looked at him sympathetically and said, "Let's go, let's go to the street!"
Bai Erlang waved his hand and said, "Go!"
The sound was quite loud, causing many people to turn their heads to look at him. He was completely unaware and had already rushed forward. The guards of the Bai family were not surprised. Almost as soon as he shouted "charge", one of them squeezed next to him and followed him as soon as he rushed.
Bai Shan and Man Bao rushed after them without thinking. Daji brought his men to catch up with them, and considerately left two guards for Liu Huan and Yin Huo.
It was Yin Huo's first time to visit the Lantern Festival, and he thought that this was how it should be, so he lifted up his robe and quickly followed them.
There are so many people here now, so if you rush, you can only run a short distance and you won’t get anywhere.
Liu Huan, who was left behind, was confused. He grabbed the Bai family guard who was left behind and asked, "What are you charging for?"
The guard said, "Let's go find something to eat or play, even lantern riddles are fine. Master Liu, what do you want to play?"
Liu Huan looked puzzled. "Am I alone? Where are they?"
See you tomorrow
