Chapter 861 Good Luck
Daji briefly explained his situation. He knew that even the young master himself probably didn't know these things.
Daji's family are hereditary servants of the Bai family. His grandfather's generation was given the surname Bai. When he was six years old, he was chosen to be with the three-year-old Bai Qi. His task was to play with Bai Qi and help him learn.
Unfortunately, Daji was not good at studying, so when Bai Qi went to the clan school at the age of five, Daji followed him to serve. Because Bai Qi had no father, the children in the school always bullied Bai Qi.
The five or six-year-old children were very ruthless in their attacks, so Daji protected their young master and fought with him.
He was bigger than other kids his age, and generally two or three years older than those school-age boys, yet he could knock down four or five of them by himself.
Because of this matter, many people in the Bai family came to Liu and asked her to give an explanation.
Liu gritted her teeth and saved him, taking the young master to apologize one by one, but later she still asked him to accompany the young master to the clan school. If anyone bullied the young master again, he would still fight, from fighting with the master to fighting with the servants.
Liu directly asked him to learn some martial arts from the guards at home. Later, when the young master wanted to learn sword and horse riding, the teacher he invited also taught him.
Daji was also more talented in this regard. He always protected the young master, taking him to travel and study, and then to the Imperial Academy in the capital.
It was also during their study tour that the master and servant got to know several wandering knights and escort leaders.
Daji said, "When the master was studying in the capital, he freed me from my official status and found me a wife. However, I didn't go anywhere at that time and remained by his side."
Bai Qi removed Daji from slavery without telling Liu. Originally, Liu gave him Daji's slave status so that he could deal with the servants, but who knew that he would remove the slave directly.
If Liu hadn't gone home for the New Year, she wouldn't have known about it.
Although Liu was reluctant in her heart, she said nothing. She just picked Erji out and asked him to take care of Erji instead of Daji, and let Daji go free.
Bai Qi was trustworthy to Daji, but Liu secretly trusted the servants under her control more.
Daji also knew this, so he said goodbye to Bai Qi and his family, and took his wife to do what he liked. Since then, they separated, and the master and servant rarely met again.
Although they seldom met, they would occasionally communicate with each other. During festivals or when escorting goods, Daji would go to see Bai Qi and his brother when he arrived in the capital. Their relationship did not fade.
Later, Bai Qi had an accident and his body was sent back to Longzhou. Liu refused to believe the statement made by Shu County.
But she realized that someone was watching her, so she had no choice but to ask Daji to secretly take people to find Erji.
After finding Erji, Daji placed him in a farm of the Bai family, and then sold himself to the Bai family.
He knew that the old lady trusted the people who held slaves in her hands the most.
Old Lady Liu accepted the books and opened a primary school in the village. Four-year-old Bo'an was one of the first students to enroll.
Apart from Daji's family and the teacher, no one knew that the teacher's most important training object was Bo'an.
Daji knew that the old lady wanted to return something to him, but he knew in his heart that he sold himself into slavery again not for these reasons, but for the master, for Erji...
Daji looked up at Bai Shan and thought to himself: It’s also for the young master.
However, in order to reassure the old lady and make her trust him more, Daji did not mind accepting the old lady's arrangements.
Bai Shan also thought of Bo An, and stood up and said to Man Bao, "Let's go home."
Manbao nodded.
The two of them got on the carriage and went home. After returning home, Bai Shan said to Daji, "We won't go out. Daji, go and see Bo'an."
Manbao nodded repeatedly and said, "We may be dead, but you are still here. When you see your son, you should talk to him nicely and don't always have a stern face."
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Just learn from my dad. My dad is happy when he sees me, and then I am happy too."
Bai Shan nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you buy him something? He's several years older than me, so why not buy him some books?"
Daji thought his son would not like the book and shook his head to refuse.
Manbao and Baishan looked worried. "Daji, you can't do this. Look, he didn't even call you dad in the yard just now. It's obvious that he doesn't know you very well. How can you do this?"
Daji hesitated for a moment and then said, "Miss Man, do you still have a slingshot?"
Manbao blinked and came to his senses. "He shouldn't be playing with a slingshot at this age, right?"
Bai Shan: "That's right, we rarely play anymore."
The main reason is that there is no time and place for them to play.
Dae gil looks at them.
Manbao scratched her head. This was the first time Daji asked her for something. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Wait."
She rushed back to the room, looking for Koko and asking him to buy a new slingshot at the mall. She then wrote a prescription and gave it to Daji, "I forgot to write the prescription just now. You can take it with you."
Daji took it with a smile, turned around and left. He did not drive the carriage, but walked there by himself. This way he would be less conspicuous and easier to disguise.
Bai Shan and Man Bao stood at the door and watched him leave. After he left the alley, he turned back to look at Man Bao and asked, "Who is the friend who said empathy?"
Manbao blinked at him, his heart pounding, and tried to play dumb, "What friend?"
"You said it yourself. A friend told you to be empathetic." Bai Shan stared into Man Bao's eyes. "I have been with you since I left home, and I have never seen you talk to anyone else."
Manbao swallowed and looked at him without saying anything.
Bai Shan finally gave up and turned his head away. "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. However," he turned back and frowned, "Don't say such things outside in the future, especially in front of a smart person like County Magistrate Tang."
Manbao nodded repeatedly and whispered, "I won't say it again."
However, this time she was a little distracted, which led to such a big flaw. Manbao refused to admit that she was not cautious enough.
Bai Erlang, who was sulking in the study, saw that they were taking no time to come in and comfort him, and were just standing at the door talking. He couldn't help but run out and shouted, "What are you doing? Can't you talk inside?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao turned around to look at him and asked in surprise, "Hey, you're back from school?"
Bai Erlang was so angry that he pinched his waist and said, "Don't you see what time it is now? It's almost dark. How can I not come back from school?"
He looked at the two of them angrily and asked, "What did you do this afternoon?"
Manbao: "I went to see a doctor."
Bai Shan: "I went to buy books."
The two spoke in unison.
The two of them coughed lightly, and then Manbao said, "Let's go to the bookstore."
Bai Shan: "I went to the pharmacy."
Bai Erlang stared at the two of them with his eyes wide open, then snorted heavily, turned around and left.
Manbao and Baishan looked at each other reproachfully and chased after him.
