Chapter 751: Black and White
After the girl left, Bai Jiashi told her about the poetry chain game they had played in the garden today, saying, "I always feel that my second brother has some hostility towards them."
Duan frowned and said, "What a shame! He knew he couldn't win, but he still had to challenge her. She was admitted to the provincial school at such a young age. Her knowledge is countless times better than his. If he challenged her to a duel, would he be able to win?"
The two sisters of the Bai family didn't say anything.
Duan Shi pondered for a moment before saying, "Forget it. Your father is in charge of the current affairs. Since he doesn't like her, he will probably have less contact with her in the future. So let's not get involved."
The two sisters of the Bai family agreed.
But in the evening, there was another incident in the front yard. Bai Ning disliked a maid who was clumsy and smashed a cup, so she had the girl beaten up and thrown into the farm.
When the matter was reported to Mrs. Duan, she couldn't help but ask, "It's such a small matter, why does it have to be sent to the manor?"
"Our family's farms are all in our hometown of Longzhou, and we haven't even gotten the official land in Yizhou City yet. Where can we send it to in the short term?" Duan said, "If you really don't like her, just send her to the garden to do menial work, and then ask the old lady to send someone over to her."
The servants received the order to leave and did as she instructed, and the Bai family returned to peace.
Duan thought that the matter should just pass. It was just a little maid being punished, and she was her own little maid. How big of a deal was it?
But I didn't expect that before the end of the month, trouble would arise again because of this matter.
Bai Ning was sent home with a bruised face and nose.
Bai Yu was over 40 and had only these two sons, and among them, Bai Ning was the smartest and the one he loved the most. It was natural that he was very angry when he saw him being beaten like this.
But he also knew that this was Yizhou City, and there were too many dignitaries here, and he couldn't offend them easily.
So he suppressed his temper and asked Bai Ning, "Who hit you?"
Bai Ning covered her mouth, crying in pain, and mumbled, "It was Bai Shan and the other two. They outnumbered us, and beat me up three times..."
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment and then slammed his palm on the table, startling Bai Ning.
Bai Yu shouted angrily: "This is outrageous!"
He stood up and was about to send someone to find Bai Shan and the others. Duan, who was sitting nearby, said hurriedly, "Master, we must first find out why they started fighting."
"What for?" Bai Yu turned around and glared.
Bai Ning covered her mouth and cried, "It was just a few arguments. I've forgotten what we started arguing about. But no matter what, they can't just beat me up with three of them."
Bai Yu looked at Bai Ning deeply and nodded, "That's right. No matter what, they shouldn't fight. We are of the same clan, so we should love each other. How can we be so domineering? Their parents are not around, and there is no one to teach them. As their uncle, I will teach them a lesson today."
After saying this, he called a servant and said, "Go to Bai's house on Huanxi Street and invite the two young masters. Tell them that I have something to ask them."
"yes."
Duan stood aside without saying anything, and naturally did not tell Bai Yu that they no longer lived in Huanxi Street, but lived in Kangxue Street like them.
This was a matter of the front yard. Duan thought about it, bowed and said goodbye, and went back to the back yard, leaving Bai Yu to look at his son with distressed eyes, anxiously looking for a doctor to treat his injuries.
At this time, Bai Shan and his two friends, who had just had a fight and returned home refreshed, started pinching their arms, holding their waists, and crying out in pain as soon as they entered the house.
Zhou Lijun, wrapped up like a ball, ran up and asked, "Auntie, what happened to you guys?"
Manbao held his waist and said, "I got kicked here. I don't know if it's bruised. Can you help me take a look?"
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also complained of waist, back, and hand pain and asked Daji to give them medicine.
Daji went back to his room with a calm expression to get some medicinal wine, and followed the two young masters into the room.
Zhou Silang followed them in out of curiosity and helped Daji light the brazier. After seeing them take off their clothes, he leaned over to take a look. He saw some purple marks on their backs and arms, but they were not big, obviously caused by bumps and bruises. He asked curiously, "Did you have a fight?"
He was most familiar with this mark.
Bai Shan nodded and said, "Yes, I fought with Bai Erlang next door."
"...Can't you call me something different?" Bai Jilang shouted, "I always feel like you're talking about me."
"Who told you to follow him as the second child?"
"Bah, what do you mean I follow him? I'm two months older than him, okay? If he wants to follow, he should line up with me."
Zhou Silang was shocked and said, "No way, he's just one person? You three against one?"
Even Bai Erlang felt a little guilty now, and after a while he said, "It's not just one person. His servants did help us, but Daji didn't help us."
But Zhou Silang didn't dare to relax. He knew that these three had loved fighting since they were young. Apart from these two, his youngest sister was the one who rarely lost a fight and would even bite when she got angry, so...
He swallowed and asked, "Did you beat the man badly?"
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at each other and said nothing.
Zhou Silang slapped his thigh and said, "Hurry up and tell me what you can't say to me. If the beating was serious, you should send medicine and apologize. Otherwise, you're really going to wait for the parents to come to your house."
Bai Shan whispered, "It's not that serious, just my face is a little swollen."
Bai Erlang added: "It seems that his mouth is also broken, but the wounds on his face were not caused by me. They were all caused by Shanbao and Manbao. I just kicked him twice and punched him a few times."
Bai Shan said: "I mainly blocked his hands and feet to prevent him from hitting us."
They both said in unison: "Basically, all the injuries on his body were caused by Manbao."
Thursday Lang: ...It's over!
Daji poured some medicinal wine on his hands, rubbed it open and gave Baishan a massage. Baishan cried out in pain twice. Daji then said to Zhou Silang, "Don't worry, Miss Man is a doctor. The injuries she inflicted are only superficial. No bones will be broken."
Zhou Silang asked, "Doesn't that look impressive?"
Daji: "It will definitely be more powerful than the three of them combined."
Zhou Silang was silent for a moment, then immediately stood up, opened the door, and went out. He squatted under Manbao's window and started talking to her. "I want to ask you, is there any medicine or water that will make you look extremely miserable and seriously injured after applying it?"
Manbao was applying the medicine while crying, and after thinking for a while he said, "No."
"Think about it carefully. There must be. You guys are really stupid. You don't even learn how to beat people. How can you leave so many marks on people? Don't you know that you love your own children? If you beat the young ones, what will happen to the old ones? Do I, your fourth brother, have the guts to challenge an official?"
I have to finish what I said even if I have to kneel down. Who would have thought that someone who gets up at six in the morning full of energy would have to go to the outpatient clinic first?
