Chapter 844 Let’s Watch Together
Zhou Silang couldn't feel at ease, so he squatted in the yard and watched Manbao go to the study to attend class with Mr. Zhuang, and after class he sat at the desk and did his homework seriously.
It was almost time for Bai Shan and the others to finish school, and Daji was going to pick them up from the provincial school. Manbao then put away his books and homework, stood up, and bowed to the teacher to take his leave.
Mr. Zhuang stopped her and said, "Manbao, there are many injustices in this world, and you will encounter many more in the future. I hope that no matter what happens, you will not forget the original intention of your study. I will not pursue what happened yesterday, but from now on, you are not allowed to ask for leave from the pharmacy or me for money. Do you understand?"
Manbao lowered his head in response, but couldn't help but look up at Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, don't you want to know why we hate the Yizhou Palace?"
Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said, "If you want to tell me, you can tell me, but if you don't want to, you don't have to."
He said, "You are grown up now and can handle your own affairs."
Manbao felt his eyes a little sore. He blinked and nodded in agreement. After bowing, he backed out.
Mr. Zhuang watched her go back into the house, put the two paintings from yesterday in her pocket, and leave.
Manbao climbed onto the carriage and said to Daji, "Let's go pick up Bai Er first."
Daji agreed.
Bai Erlang also wanted to know how Manbao was going to sell so many peonies at home, so he rejected Qi Jue and the others' invitation, climbed into the carriage and went to the provincial school with Manbao.
The two of them climbed over the wall and found Bai Shan and others in the apricot forest.
Wei Ting was a bit skeptical when he heard Bai Shan say Manbao would come today, but now that he saw him, he finally believed it. He sat on the mat and waved happily to Manbao and Bai Er. When they got closer, he got up to greet them, "You really came. Ever since Bai Shan was allowed to borrow books, you two rarely come in."
Manbao and Bai Er greeted everyone, then sat down next to Bai Shan and took the time to reply: "Climbing the wall is very tiring. Some books can be borrowed, so you can just read them at home."
Wei Ting asked with a smile, "Then why are you free to come here today?"
Manbao said, "Let me ask you something."
She took out the two paintings from her bosom and showed them to them, saying frankly, "I heard that your parents, grandparents, and others like peonies, so based on the principle of keeping the wealth within the family, I wanted to ask if your family wants any."
Everyone looked down and saw two lifelike pots of Yaohuang and Weizi flowers painted on the painting.
Wei Ting couldn't help but gasp in amazement, "Besides being a doctor, you also sell flowers?"
Manbao nodded and asked, "Are you interested?"
Wei Ting hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yes, I do. My grandmother also likes peonies, but yours looks very good. I'm afraid I can't buy it."
"I have white peonies with pure white petals, and they only cost sixteen taels."
Wei Ting asked: "Pure color?"
Manbao nodded.
Wei Ting blinked and said with a smile: "That's taking advantage of you."
Manbao smiled and shook his head, "No, because I have twenty pots."
Everyone who was just beginning to feel excited: ...
Ji Hao, who had been sitting silently, couldn't help but look up at Manbao, then reached out and took the Wei Zi painting and asked, "How much is this pot of Wei Zi?"
Manbao took a look and said with a smile: "It depends on how much Young Master Ji is willing to bid. I will be the one who offers the highest price."
"Hey, hey, hey, so you're here for the auction today?" Jiao Yong looked at this and that, "We haven't even seen the flowers yet."
Manbao nodded, "Yes, of course you have to go see the flowers. I came here today just to give you a message."
Ji Hao looked at her and asked, "Are you short of money?"
Before Manbao could answer, Bai Shan said, "No shortage."
Manbao nodded, "We don't need it right now."
She has already found a way to make money. Even if she is short of money, reselling flowers is enough, so she doesn't seem to be short of money anymore.
Ji Hao took the painting and asked, "Why do you bother to do such a business?"
Manbao frowned and asked him, "Do you want to buy it or not? If not, return the painting to me. I need to show it to others. Bai Shan only painted one for me."
Ji Hao froze and asked, "Isn't this a painting by you?"
"My paintings aren't as good as Bai Shan's, but don't worry, his paintings don't grow as well as my flowers. The real thing is more beautiful than the painting."
Wei Ting and others couldn't help but lower their heads to suppress their laughter.
Bai Shan didn't mind because she was telling the truth.
Ji Hao threw the painting back to her, stood up and said, "My mother also loves peonies. You can leave the pot of peonies to my mother."
Manbao said, "Tomorrow, have your family bring money to my house to see the flowers. If the deal is settled, you can take them back."
Ji Hao didn't know whether he heard it or not, so he turned around and left.
Manbao turned to look at the others, who smiled and said, "We can take a look at your sixteen taels of white peony. By the way, you have so many white peonies, can't you give us a discount?"
"At least sixteen taels."
Everyone tutted and said, "We are still friends, so it's not cheaper."
Manbao asked, "Do you want to go to my house and see the flowers?"
"That's fine with me. I've already been living out this year."
"I also live out..."
"I made my father proud during the Chinese New Year. When my grandmother said that, my father asked someone to rent a yard for me and I lived out there..."
…
Then everyone looked at Wei Ting, the only one who didn't speak.
Wei Ting said angrily, "Why are you looking at me? What's wrong with me living on campus this year? I can even sleep in for 25 minutes longer than you guys."
But this also means that only Wei Ting needs to follow them to climb out of the wall, and everyone else can walk out of the gate openly.
No one knew when Ji Hao left, and Jiao Yong and the others left on their own when they couldn't find him. They and Bai Shan stood outside the gate waiting for Wei Ting and the others to come.
Manbao found the wooden ladder they had hidden by the apricot tree and let Wei Ting climb up before putting it away. She and Bai Erlang then jumped directly onto the wall. Wei Ting, who was sitting on the wall and trying to help them, sighed and asked, "How long will it take me to practice like you guys?"
"As long as you persist, it won't be difficult in ten days or half a month."
Manbao jumped off the wall skillfully and climbed onto the carriage first, and the other two also jumped down.
Wei Ting was a truant and could not show up around the prefectural school, so he stayed in the carriage and looked at Man Bao opposite him and said, "Ji Hao will be back to school after the New Year."
Manbao nodded.
Wei Ting coughed lightly and said, "Because he also has studies at home, he will study with us this school year."
Manbao looked at him in confusion, not understanding what this had to do with her.
Wei Ting sighed and said, "Ji Hao has always wanted to thank you in person. After all, you saved his life last year."
The next update will be around 9pm
