Chapter 782 Let You
Manbao and his friends were busy for a long time and felt hungry, so they turned around and went back to the restaurant. They lay on the second floor, waiting for food while watching the flowing river of lights below.
County Magistrate Yang dealt with the only conflict tonight, looked down, and seeing that his "people" were safe, he put his hands behind his back and wandered to the next room.
Because he smelled the fragrance of food.
The waiter from the restaurant just happened to be bringing in midnight snacks for Manbao and his friends. County Magistrate Yang didn't even need to knock and walked right in. "Did you have a good time?"
The three of them nodded repeatedly and asked County Magistrate Yang to sit down.
"Master Yang, aren't you going out to play?"
"I would like to go, but I'm worried because you're here."
Bai Shan: "Master Yang, we don't need your protection."
Manbao: "Yes, we have Daji."
County Magistrate Yang raised his eyelids and glanced at them, then said, "No, I'm protecting others."
Manbao blinked, then realized what was happening. He turned around and asked Baishan, "Are we the bad guys?"
Bai Shan: "No, he's a good person."
Manbao raised his chin and gestured to County Magistrate Yang.
County Magistrate Yang just smiled at the three of them without saying a word.
Even Bai Jilang couldn't help but snort and turned his head away to ignore him.
But since a guest is a guest, even if Bai Shan didn't want to pay attention to him, he still asked the waiter to add another set of bowls and chopsticks for him.
After being busy for half the night, County Magistrate Yang was still quite hungry. He looked at the dishes they ordered and nodded with satisfaction.
He knew that as long as he ate with these three children, he would not have a bad meal.
"You've seen the lanterns, guessed the riddles, and tonight has been a lively night because of you. Now, are you going home?"
Bai Erlang: "We haven't even started yet. We plan to leave at midnight."
County Magistrate Yang turned to his attendant, who was waiting nearby, and asked, "Is it already midnight?"
The attendant said, "I didn't hear the night watchman's call, so he must not have arrived yet."
Manbao glanced at the time in the system and said affirmatively, "Not yet, 25 minutes to go."
County Magistrate Yang advised, "Aren't you tired? You usually go to bed at this time, right? It will take time to get back."
The three of them shook their heads together and said affirmatively: "We are not tired at all."
County Magistrate Yang stopped trying to persuade them and asked, "Then tell me, what are you planning to do next?"
Manbao chuckled and said, "We are going to do business."
County Magistrate Yang became interested and said, "Come, after we finish our midnight snack, I'll go with you for a walk and see what kind of business you are doing."
Everyone then quietly enjoyed their midnight snack. It was obvious that County Magistrate Yang had been to the restaurant quite often to eat and drink, and he even introduced to the three people which dish on the table was the most delicious.
Everyone was enjoying their meal when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door. Everyone in the room heard a voice shouting, "This room has always been ours, but we don't need it this year. Who are you kidding? I want to see who's in there..."
After saying that, he pushed the door open with a "click".
Daji stood up calmly and walked behind Bai Shan.
The four people who were still sitting and eating turned their heads to look at the door. When the people outside the door saw County Magistrate Yang, they all froze at the same time, and the huge crowd suddenly quieted down.
Manbao stared at the young woman who opened the door for a long time before finally recognizing her. He waved happily and called out, "It's Sister Zhang."
Zhang then turned to look at Manbao, but she didn't recognize her for a long time.
County Magistrate Yang looked at her, then at Manbao, and asked with a smile, "Why, do you know the eldest aunt of Zhang Zhubu's family?"
"Yes, I know her. When I was little, Sister Zhang loved to eat our candies, and I often sold them to her." Manbao looked at the greatly changed eldest aunt of the Zhang family and sighed, "I didn't expect Sister Zhang to be married now, but it's only natural since Second Sister Fu is also married."
County Magistrate Yang raised his eyebrows.
After Manbao mentioned this, Zhang finally remembered who she was.
She was the kid who always liked to sell candy in the alley where they lived a few years ago, the kid who was obviously a farmer's daughter but could be friends with Fu Er.
Zhang looked Manbao up and down, and only then did she see some of her former self in her round face. However, she quickly looked away and bowed apologetically to County Magistrate Yang. "I didn't know this was your Excellency's private room. I apologize for the offense."
Zhang's mother finally came in from the back and apologized repeatedly.
County Magistrate Yang stood up and smiled at Zhang's mother, "You're too polite, sister-in-law. So, did you reserve this private room a long time ago?"
The shopkeeper, sweating profusely in the back, quickly explained, "Zhang Zhubu's family may have forgotten this year and didn't book a private room. So when Mr. Bai and his friends came to choose a room, the shop assistant reserved this one. It's also my fault. I was a little slow in explaining things just now and disturbed the guests. I'm so sorry, so sorry. So, I'll compensate you with a pot of tea and a plate of snacks."
These words explained the reason clearly.
The Zhang family member nearby quickly responded, "I was so busy this year that I forgot about it. I told the servants, but who knew it wasn't finalized? The eldest girl just came back from her husband's house, so she didn't know and thought it was finalized, so she acted impulsively."
Zhang stood aside, her face pale and blue, but she did not dare to refute her aunt's words.
County Magistrate Yang asked with a smile, "Are there no private rooms in the inn? Otherwise, please give up the room next to mine, and I can just squeeze in with my three friends."
How dare the Zhang family members refuse?
County Magistrate Yang smiled and said, "As he should. Originally, during the Lantern Festival, Zhang Zhubu should have been allowed to go home and reunite with his family. However, due to limited capacity in our county, we need Zhang Zhubu and Liu Xianwei to work overtime during the festival. It's not good for Zhang Zhubu to be busy in the front while my sister-in-law suffers in the back."
After saying that, he asked his followers to move all the things in the private room next door here and give the room to the Zhang family.
Although Zhang Jia looked humble, he was very happy in his heart. After some hesitation, he accepted it.
Manbao watched with great interest from the side. When she saw her sister Zhang was about to follow, she happily waved goodbye to her.
Zhang forced a laugh and followed her clansmen to the private room next door.
The door to the private room closed again, and the shopkeeper personally brought in something to apologize. After the people left, County Magistrate Yang curiously asked Manbao, "Why does it look like that young lady from the Zhang family doesn't seem very familiar with you?"
"We weren't familiar with each other to begin with. My candy is especially delicious, but she thinks it's too expensive. However, in order to be able to talk to Second Sister Fu, she always buys candy from us. Usually, my fifth and sixth brothers would sell the candy to her, so we're not familiar with each other."
County Magistrate Yang: "Then why are you so enthusiastic in greeting people?"
"Even if we're not familiar with each other, she was once my customer. Moreover, my family was in financial difficulty back then, and her children contributed a lot of orders to our family. Since we've met, of course I have to say hello. Otherwise, it would be so rude."
County Magistrate Yang: "But she doesn't seem too happy that you greeted her."
Bai Shan was annoyed by his excessive questions and interrupted, "Whether she's happy or not is her business. How can we care so much? We just need to be polite ourselves."
Manbao nodded in agreement.
County Magistrate Yang was stunned. After a long pause, he asked, "Who taught you this?"
Bai Erlang finally finished his meal, and he took another piece of dessert and ate it, saying, "The teacher taught me."
After a long pause, County Magistrate Yang said, "...your teacher really does teach you everything."
