Chapter 845: Intercession
Manbao scratched his head and said, "It was Bai Shan who saved him. Doctor Ji and I are all doctors. It is our duty to cure illnesses and save lives. The Ji family has already paid a lot of medical fees."
Wei Ting said, "How can you tell the difference so clearly? We all know that if you hadn't stopped the bleeding, Ji Hao would have turned to dust by now. And he even had a bald lip while recovering from his injury. He didn't say it, but he was always sorry in his heart."
Manbao thought about it seriously before remembering the incident. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I thought it was something else. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it long ago."
Wei Ting smiled and said, "That's good. I told you that you are generous and won't fuss over these things. I'll tell him later that we are good friends."
Bai Erlang quietly kicked Manbao, and Manbao thought to himself: Who wants to be friends with him?
What if he gets into trouble again and gets them involved?
But Manbao said nothing and didn't nod.
Wei Ting took it as her acquiescence and became happy. "You don't know, because of you, Bai Shan doesn't pay much attention to Ji Hao. The relationship between the two has been a little tense since the beginning of the school year, even though they should be very close."
Bai Erlang and Manbao asked in shock, "Why do you have such an idea?"
Wei Ting said as a matter of course: "Isn't this normal? After all, Bai Shan saved Ji Hao, and the relationship between the two should have been very good."
Manbao and Bai Erlang looked at each other and could only smile awkwardly at Wei Ting.
They don’t know whether Ji Hao wants to be friends with Bai Shan, but Bai Shan definitely doesn’t want to be friends with Ji Hao, and neither of them wants to.
The carriage circled around the gate and stopped. Bai Shan got on, and the others also got on their respective carriages and headed towards Manbao's courtyard together.
I know that Bai Shan and the other two live together, and I also know their address, but among so many people, no one has ever been here except Wei Ting.
Naturally, so many carriages could not all fit into the alley, so everyone jumped off outside the alley, and Manbao invited everyone to go in together.
Zhou Silang was carefully watering his precious peonies, not daring to water them too much. When he looked up and saw Manbao and Bai Shanbai Erlang coming back with so many young men, he was stunned for a moment and then stood up immediately.
Manbao and Wei Ting introduced her fourth brother, "This is my fourth brother, and this is my second niece. Our master is in the study."
Out of courtesy, a group of young men went to the study to pay their respects to Mr. Zhuang first. After a noisy exchange of greetings, everyone left the yard to view the peonies.
They had just seen the two rows of white peonies under the eaves, which were eye-catching at first sight, but when they looked at the Yaohuang and Weizi flowers placed next to them, they not only did not feel that they were inferior, but rather that they seemed to enhance their color.
Everyone came closer to look, and said, "Yao Huang and Wei Zi are really beautiful."
"The flowers are in excellent condition, especially the purple one. The color is rich and the flower isn't fully open, but judging by the half-opened state, it's clearly quite large."
"Yes, yes, this flower is considered top quality even in the capital, not to mention Yizhou City."
Zhou Silang listened for a long time and became a little anxious because they talked for a long time but still couldn't say how much the flower was worth.
Manbao asked, "Do you want to buy it?"
The teenagers nodded in unison, then shook their heads, "We'll just look at it, but we can't afford it."
"Yeah, it's too expensive."
Wei Ting was also very tempted. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go back and ask my grandmother, but first I'll buy a pot of white peony. The color of your white peony is really pure. Such a color and flower buds should not be priced so low."
Manbao smiled and said, "I'll set this price."
Seeing that she insisted, Wei Ting naturally did not ask her to raise the price. He just gave her a thumbs up and said, "After seeing these flowers, I know that you really gave us a discount."
Everyone nodded.
Manbao had said it was pure white before, but they all thought it was impossible. Although they did not buy or sell peonies, they had heard a little about it from their grandmother and mother who loved them.
So before coming, they were just curious and didn't have much hope. They thought that if it wasn't too bad, they would buy it back to show it to their family and support Manbao's business.
The result was unexpectedly good. The teenagers felt a little embarrassed and asked Manbao again, "Are you really not going to raise the price?"
Manbao shook his head and asked Wei Ting, "You really only bought one pot? You gave it to your grandmother, but not to your mother?"
Wei Ting was puzzled, "I want my mother to appreciate it when I get it home."
"How is that the same? When I buy a gift for my sister-in-law, I usually buy one for my mother as well."
Wei Ting didn't understand how the two could be compared, but after a moment's hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll buy two pots."
Anyway, the flowers are nice and not very expensive.
Manbao then asked the two young men whose homes weren't in Yizhou City, "Would you buy this even if you weren't in Yizhou City? It's hard to send this stuff back home, so why don't you just not buy it?"
The two who were about to nod realized that Manbao was not very willing to sell it to them, so they were unwilling and said, "No, we also want to fulfill our filial piety to our family."
"Yes, we want to buy two pots too."
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy a pot and try to see if we can send it home. Otherwise, don't lose too much."
The young men stared at her blankly, "Are you really thinking about us?"
Manbao nodded seriously, "Of course, I'm a very good seller."
The two young men thought about it, nodded, and bought only one pot.
Eight out of the twenty pots of white peonies were sold at once. Zhou Silang collected the money, then took Zhou Lijun to carry the flowers out of the alley and carefully placed them on the carriage.
Wei Ting borrowed a car from Bai Shan and the others, "I'll take her home first, so she doesn't have to make another trip tomorrow."
He also wanted to tell his grandmother about the two pots of Yaohuang and Weizi here at Manbao. He thought his grandmother would like them.
Bai Shan wanted to say something but stopped himself when he saw his excited face, so he said nothing and asked Daji to drive the carriage to take him back to Wei's house.
After the carriage left the alley, Manbao said, "Is it really okay not to remind him that he's skipping school?"
Bai Shan said: "After all, this is his filial piety. I don't think his father will punish him harshly."
As soon as he entered the room, Bai Erlang whispered to him that Wei Ting forced him to mediate between Ji Hao and Man Bao.
Bai Shan hummed softly, suppressing the slight guilt in his heart.
Zhou Silang came back happily, holding the money he had just collected and came to find Manbao, "Manbao, come and count the money."
Manbao said, "Fourth brother, I'll keep this money."
Zhou Silang nodded without objection. "You have to pay for flowers, too. By the way, does that flower farmer have any white peonies left? If so, buy some. They're sixteen taels a pot. If you sell a lot, you can make a lot of money."
Bai Shan said, "If you sell more, it won't be worth sixteen taels a pot anymore. I think it's good enough now. If you sell more, you'll offend people."
Manbao nodded and said, "I only plan to sell these twenty pots."
Good night, see you tomorrow
