Chapter 2526
Mr. Mei glanced at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang who were present. He did not say what kind of medical treatment he was seeking, but instead made an appointment with Zhou Man. "I wonder if Mr. Zhou might be able to spare some time to meet with you."
Manbao calculated his time and nodded, saying, "Sir, you can go to Jishitang in the inner city from 9:00 to 5:00 tomorrow. I will be there then."
Mr. Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
Master Zhiren smiled and said, "Donor Zhou, I see Jiechen has already wrapped up your plum branches."
Bai Shan and the other two immediately stood up and said goodbye, fearing that Jie Chen would really give their plum branches away.
After they left, Mr. Mei turned to look at Master Zhiren, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for the introduction, Master."
Master Zhiren smiled lightly, "Thank you, Master Mei."
He glanced at the chess pieces on the board, put them down, and said with a smile, "We can't continue this game of chess. Why don't we go inside and admire the plum blossoms that Jie Chen just brought back?"
After enjoying it, it is natural to paint.
Manbao and the other two took their plum blossoms back and wrapped the cut parts with leaves, which allowed the broken branches to retain moisture and survive longer.
After Jie Chen gave them the things, he turned around and left, leaving Manbao no chance to ask him about Mr. Mei.
Manbao sighed as he watched him leave, then turned around and asked the two of them, "Did you make him angry?"
"That's definitely not me," Bai Shan said, "Every time I come to Huguo Temple, I discuss Buddhism and martial arts with him, and I don't provoke him."
After saying that, he looked at Bai Jilang.
Bai Erlang: "...It's even more impossible for me. I'm here to learn martial arts too."
Manbao looked at Bai Erlang suspiciously, "Is it because you are too stupid to learn, so..." Bai Erlang jumped up and said, "Although I can't learn, I won't force myself. I think it's not me, but Bai Shan. He can't learn, but he always asks Jie Chen for advice. I think he is fed up."
"Impossible," Bai Shan said, "Master Jiechen has been in Buddhism for many years, how could he not have this little patience? Besides, I am studious. Shouldn't you be proud to have a student as studious as me?"
Bai Erlang was a little unsure for a moment, mainly because Mr. Zhuang and the teachers in the Chongwenguan of the Imperial College seemed to like students like Bai Shan.
Manbao and Baishan looked at him with suspicion, and Bai Erlang also became suspicious. Could it be that he really made Jiechen angry?
Just when Bai Erlang was falling into self-doubt, Liu Huan and Zhou Liru came over here, supporting the smiling wife of Minister Liu and Qian.
The three of them immediately put the matter behind them. They first looked at the expressions of Liu Huan and Zhou Liru, and then at the expressions of Mrs. Liu Shangshu and Qian. Seeing that they were in a harmonious atmosphere, they felt more confident.
The Liu family had ordered vegetarian food at the Huguo Temple, and everyone ate the food before going down the mountain. Bai Shan and the others deliberately dragged Liu Huan behind, and when they were some distance away from the elders in front, they lowered their voices and asked him, "How is it, how is it?"
Liu Huan: "...What else can we do? We've known each other for a long time. Isn't it time to see what the elders are like today? Speaking of which, you are all considered the woman's elders, right?"
Liu Huan looked puzzled. "Shouldn't I be the one asking how you are doing?"
Manbao and the other two thought about it for a moment and found that it was true, so they immediately left him and went to the front to talk to Qian and Feng.
Liu Huan quickly pulled them together and lowered his voice, saying, "There's something I've been thinking about for a long time. If I do that, are we considered equals or different generations?"
Bai Shan teased him, "What's that what?"
Liu Huan glanced at him and said, "If the marriage between the two families goes through, what will happen to our two sides?"
Bai Erlang said indifferently: "What's the big deal? We can discuss our own issues. You and I are not brothers from the same sect, but just classmates. We are not of the same generation. Of course, I don't mind you calling me uncle."
"Get lost," Liu Huan pushed him, not wanting to call Manbao "little sister-in-law." "Then let's go our separate ways. Zhou Man also studied at Chongwenguan, so we can be considered classmates, right?"
He asked Zhou Man uncertainly, "Really?"
Manbao said, "Go ask Liru."
Manbao mainly wanted to know what her mother and second sister-in-law thought.
Feng had no idea what was going on. She was still dizzy and couldn't quite come to her senses.
After getting on the carriage, she accidentally bumped her head because of a bumpy road. She came to her senses and immediately looked at Manbao and her mother-in-law, "Mom, is this a deal?"
Qian glanced at Li Ru, who was blushing and looking down, and said with a smile, "Both children are happy about it. The Liu family is a reasonable family, so why not agree?"
Before, I was worried that the Liu family would mind Li Ru becoming a doctor. Now that they don’t mind, why not accept it?
"But..." Feng shifted her body uneasily and said, "Didn't my aunt say before that the Qi family is too big and is not like the lotus roots in our pond?"
Manbao's eyes narrowed with a smile, tears almost coming out. "Second sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if Qi Dafeiou is the lotus root from our pond or not. As long as they are willing to stay in our pond, even if the lotus root is a little bigger, we can live in harmony. I said that before because I was afraid that the lotus root would not be happy to be close to our pond deep down. Even if we were close on the surface, there would be many problems in the future. But the Liu family is now generous and open-minded, so the prejudice of family status is not a big problem."
Qian nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Isn't there a river between our family and the Bai family? But now we get along very well. It all depends on the heart."
Qian smiled happily and said, "The Liu family is very generous. Just look at Madam Liu, Madam Liu, and the Liu family."
Feng nodded repeatedly, and Manbao quickly explained, "Mother, these three families are not from the same family."
Even their ancestral homes are different, which means that they might have had no connection at all five hundred years ago.
Qian Shi didn't understand what was going on, so she said to Man Bao, "I don't think Madam Liu Shangshu is in a hurry. In that case, let Li Ru concentrate on her studies and wait until after the New Year to get married. We can get married in a year or two."
Feng was shocked. "Isn't it too late? Isn't the young master of the Liu family older than my brother-in-law?"
Qian said, "Not much older. They said he only came of age this year, right?"
Manbao nodded. They had even attended his coming-of-age ceremony before.
Qian then decided, "Then we'll get married in two years."
Mrs. Feng: ...When Zhou Erlang was 22 years old, he had almost three children.
She was embarrassed: "Will Master Liu agree?"
Manbao said: "Don't worry, second sister-in-law, for a family like theirs, it's normal for them to die a few years earlier or later."
Some aristocratic families are eager to have offspring, and it is common for them to force their children to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but more often they wait until they are eighteen or nineteen.
There are also some ambitious people who choose to get married in their twenties or thirties. As long as they can afford the single tax and say hello to the county magistrate, these are not a problem.
There's a sudden party tonight, and I have to go, so I'll update two chapters at a time and then go out. See you tomorrow. I'll take a break from the Xiuxian book for now.
