Chapter 855 Erji Arrives
The rumor spread so quickly and so widely that even the King of Yizhou, who rarely cared about matters in the harem, heard about it.
He was a little angry, but mostly at the princess. He hadn't expected her to cause such a stir over such a small matter. The other party was just three young men and women with no foundation, and yet they were defeated like this, it was impossible for him not to be disappointed.
So when he returned to the backyard and discovered that the princess was still planning to call the three of them over to give them a beating, he couldn't help but get angry. "Don't you think the current situation isn't big enough? You're indulging your wicked servants and failing to discipline your subordinates. Do you want to add another layer of arrogance to it?"
The princess turned pale and quickly stood up and saluted, muttering, "Should we invite someone to apologize?"
"I can't afford to embarrass this person, and they don't have the nerve to do that. They're just three children. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future," the prince said. "You should go out less recently and avoid provoking others. After seven or eight days, who will remember this?"
The Princess of Yizhou reluctantly agreed.
The prince remembered what his staff had said and left in anger.
For Manbao, the matter is over and she is now busy studying headaches.
Doctor Ji took Manbao to the suburbs to visit Master Guan twice. Recently, Manbao was sorting out Master Guan's pulse records over the years. He was learning while sorting, and at the same time he had to do business with the herbal farmers who came to him, collect the uncollected raw medicinal materials they sent, and pay them a large sum of money.
So she had almost forgotten about selling flowers, and even forgot Qi Jue's birthday.
But Bai Shan almost forgot, the only person he didn't forget was Bai Erlang.
The main reason is that he can't forget it even if he wants to, because there is always someone around to remind him.
A few friends gathered at the entrance of the academy to say goodbye. Qi Jue and Bai Erlang waved goodbye and reminded them, "Don't forget my birthday party tomorrow."
Bai Erlang waved his hand impatiently and said, "I can't forget it, I can't forget it. You've said it a hundred or eighty times today."
Shan Yu on the side said: "How can it be a hundred or eighty times? It's only six times, hahahaha..."
Qi Jue was so angry that he kicked Shan Yu.
Bai Erlang ran to the street to look for his carriage, but he didn't see Daji and the familiar carriage. He was stunned for a moment, looked around, and a young man came up to him and said, "Erlang!"
Bai Erlang turned his head, blinked, and asked, "Are you Brother Liu from the house at the entrance of the alley?"
"Yes," Liu Dalang grinned and said, "Daji couldn't come today because of something, so he hired me to pick you up."
Bai Erlang looked at him suspiciously. He and Manbao Baishan had studied 180 ways for beggars to beat people, including various methods used by acquaintances to commit crimes.
Liu Dalang was stunned by his gaze and choked for a long time before he said, "Second Master Bai, our two families are neighbors. I won't harm you, will I?"
Bai Erlang said, "Even parents would sell their children."
Liu Dalang: ...
He rolled his eyes in anger and pointed at the main road, saying, "It only takes a little over a quarter of an hour to run from the academy to our alley. What could I possibly be lying to you about?"
"Daji won't be busy, he still has to go pick up Bai Shan."
"Mr. Shan went home in the afternoon."
Bai Erlang immediately climbed onto Liu Dalang's donkey cart and shouted, "Let's go! Let's go!"
As Liu Dalang leisurely went to lead the donkey, he asked, "Second Master, do you no longer doubt me?"
"Hey, Brother Liu, why are you talking so much? Bai Shan doesn't ask for leave easily. Something must have happened in our family. Let's go, let's go."
Only then did Liu Dalang jump onto the donkey cart and drive the donkey away.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, Bai Erlang jumped out of the car and headed straight for home.
As soon as the door opened, Mr. Zhuang, who was drowsy in his recliner, looked up. Seeing it was him, he leaned back and waved, "Are you back? Put down your school basket and come over to tell me what you learned today."
Bai Erlang glanced around the house and saw some movement in the kitchen, so he ran over and asked, "Sir, where are Manbao and Shanbao?"
"Hmm?" Mr. Zhuang seemed to think for a moment, then said slowly, "Your senior sister and brother are busy with something. Please recite the text to me first."
Bai Erlang felt a chill down his spine. Although he was overcome by the fear of endorsing, he still couldn't help but ask, "Where did they go?"
Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said, "I don't know. The child is grown up and I can't take care of him anymore."
Bai Jilang couldn't help but mutter, "I'm older than them."
Mr. Zhuang opened his eyes and looked at him, "So you don't want me to take care of it anymore?"
Bai Erlang shuddered and immediately shook his head, "No."
Mr. Zhuang glared at him and said, "Then come and recite the book!"
Bai Erlang put down his book basket and walked forward with a bitter face. He felt that he was suffering for others. It must be Bai Shan and Manbao who made the teacher angry, and then the teacher came to bully him.
Bai Shan and Man Bao were both sitting in a carriage at this time. They were led by Daji into a teahouse. After booking a private room, they went from the room to the back door, got into another car from the back door and left.
Daji also sat in the carriage with them. The driver outside was the one usually employed by the teahouse to deliver things to the teahouse.
Today, Manbao just came back from Guan's house outside the city, and Daji whispered to her, "Erji is here."
Manbao suddenly couldn't concentrate on reading or doing his homework.
Daji was also a little absent-minded. Although Mr. Zhuang didn't know what was going on, he looked at the two of them for a long time, then waved his hand and let Manbao go free.
But he felt a little melancholy in his heart. After all, his son was eighteen years old before he deliberately hid something from him. At that time, he knew that when the child grows up, they can't control everything. Parents and elders must learn to turn a deaf and dumb, so that they can get by and live smoothly.
So how old are these two kids? Are they already grown up at just twelve or thirteen?
Mr. Zhuang was very disappointed, so he left sadly.
Manbao encouraged Daji to go to the provincial school to find Baishan, and asked him to leave early on the pretext of having something to do at home. Then the two of them quietly went out with Daji to meet Erji.
If it were anything else, Daji would definitely not do this, but this time the person who came was his own brother, and he had not seen Erji since he came to Qili Village to protect the young master, so he went to pick up the young master in a fit of anger.
In fact, he regretted it as soon as he led the two people out.
The old lady was not very willing to let the young master get too deeply involved in this matter. She even asked the old lady if the young master and Miss Man could go to see Erji.
But the person had already left the house, and Daji had no way of regretting it, so he could only bite the bullet and lead the person out.
The traffic grew busier and busier, and the streets grew smaller and smaller. Someone greeted the driver, "Why are you back so early today?"
"Yes, the shopkeeper settled the bill quickly today."
The carriage arrived in front of a house. The driver jumped out, removed the threshold, and led the carriage inside. He turned around to close the door, chatted with someone, and then closed the door and whispered to the person in the carriage, "We're here, get out."
Daji opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. He helped Bai Shan and Man Bao down and asked with a frown, "Why did you choose such a place?"
The next update will be around 4:00 PM
