Chapter 906 Accompany You
But sometimes not speaking is an attitude.
Madam Liu asked, "Twelve years ago, he was willing to stand with my son, so why is he unwilling to speak now?"
County Magistrate Yang said nothing.
Man Bao said, "Master Guan is very ill. Even with the best medicine, he can only live for another three to five months. Doctor Ji and I have inquired about it. When his health deteriorated, he bid farewell to the King of Yizhou and wanted to return to his hometown, but the King of Yizhou, who values talent, has refused to let him go. Even though Master Guan is ill and can't work at the palace, the King of Yizhou is still supporting him. For this, many people praise the King of Yizhou for his nostalgia and his loyalty."
But now it seems, is it because he is nostalgic and sentimental, or is it because Master Guan knows too much and is unwilling to let him go?
County Magistrate Yang said, "After all, twelve years have passed. He now even has a grandson. It's understandable that he's considering his descendants."
Twelve years ago, Lord Guan was in his prime. If the King of Yizhou rebelled, he would be a hero if he succeeded, but his whole family would die if he failed. But now he was semi-retired and would not live long. Regardless of whether the King of Yizhou rebelled or not, it was unlikely that he would be implicated in the end.
Even if he is implicated, he will most likely be the only one implicated.
Bai Shan suddenly realized, "No wonder Master Guan didn't like Guan Dalang's frequent interactions with the princes in the palace, and even sent Guan Erlang away to study. Isn't the best teacher in the entire Jiannan Road at the Yizhou Prefecture School?"
County Magistrate Yang said, "He doesn't want to cause any more trouble and is unwilling to get involved in this matter. This has both advantages and disadvantages for us. The advantage is that he knows Bai Shan's identity and even guessed that we were investigating the case from twelve years ago, but he won't tell anyone. Right now, the King of Yizhou knows nothing. Even if you return to Yizhou City to study now, you will be safe for the time being."
"Similarly, if you go to the capital quietly, you will be safe for the time being with the King of Yizhou," Yang Heshu said, "but once you set the stage, you will be the target."
He stood up and said, "It's a matter of life and death, so I can't give you any advice. You can consider it for yourself."
After seeing off County Magistrate Yang, the Bai family fell silent again. Old Madam Liu felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart. She felt that she and Shanbao and Manbao were just like duckweed in the water. Once the water splashed, they could only go with the flow and had no right to choose to stop.
Madam Liu beckoned the two children over, stroking their heads as she said, "You should study hard and stop playing around. Only when you grow into towering trees can you protect yourself and the people you want to protect. Do you understand?"
They both nodded.
Madam Liu looked at Bai Shan seriously and said, "Especially Shanbao, you must grow up quickly."
Bai Erlang, who was standing by, was a little jealous and came forward to ask, "Grandmother, what about me?"
Old Madam Liu was delighted. She reached out and pulled him over, patted his head, and said with a smile, "You too, stop playing around all the time. I heard that the three of you dug up the flowerbed in the master's yard yesterday, didn't you?"
Bai Erlang pointed at Manbao and said, "It was Manbao who said he wanted to plant some beautiful flowers for you, sir. Now it's spring, a good time to plant flowers."
"But I heard that you plant wild flowers, grasses and trees that you dug from the mountains, right?"
Manbao said, "Grandma Liu, the things I dug up are very rare. Scarcity makes things valuable. They are so rare that they are valuable in themselves."
She picked up a portion of the things she dug out from the mountains and gave them to Keke to collect, and the rest she carried directly to County Magistrate Yang's home.
She wanted to earn some points in the forum, so she grew them in the flower bed of County Magistrate Yang's house. However, after so much time, only eight kinds could be sold in the forum, and no one bought the rest even though she offered a buy-one-get-one-free promotion.
After all, it is a rare species in the future, and the points for collection are coming down one after another, so Manbao was reluctant to throw it away.
After they came back, County Magistrate Yang was disgusted by the wild flowers, weeds and trees that had made a mess of the flower beds in his home, so he found a time to have someone dig them up and send them to her.
Manbao wanted to plant them in her own vegetable garden, but after looking at the expressions of her mother and sister-in-law, she obediently kept them temporarily behind her house. However, the land there was relatively poor and difficult to take care of.
Yesterday she suddenly noticed that the flower garden in Mr. Zhuang's yard was very monotonous. There were only a few rose plants, and they were not blooming. It was such a waste of land. So she took advantage of the break to persuade Bai Shan and Bai Erlang to help her turn over the land and transplant all the plants behind her house.
Madam Liu looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears, patted her head and said, "Forget it, this is the only hobby you have. Go read a book and don't play for too long."
Manbao likes to collect flowers and plants. When he sees something rare, even if he doesn't plant it, he will pull it into his hands to smell and look at it. Everyone in Qili Village knows this, and because of this, they believe that Manbao is born to study medicine.
Haven’t you heard that Shennong also liked to taste all kinds of herbs, and thus became a miracle doctor and a god?
They thought it was normal for Manbao, who was also born as a fairy, to like this. Maybe in her previous life she was a fairy who was responsible for guarding the medicine furnace under the throne of Tianzun.
Although Old Lady Liu didn't believe this, she also felt that Manbao had talent.
But it would be a shame to mess up Mr. Zhuang's flower garden like that. She said, "Have the servants tidy it up and move some pretty flowers and plants from our garden. If you don't have room to plant your things, plant them in Shanbao's yard. He's a boy anyway, so he doesn't care whether they look pretty or not."
Bai Shan and the other two said in unison: "But the gentleman is also a man."
Madam Liu choked and tapped their foreheads, saying, "The master is our elder, how can you be so rude? Forget it, there's no need for servants. Before class starts, go pull up all the plants and have the servants plant them later."
Manbao hesitated, "Grandma Liu, although they are wild flowers and weeds, they are also very fragile. If they are always transplanted, they will die."
Bai Shan nodded repeatedly, "Grandma, we spent a lot of effort to dig those things out, we can't let them die."
Bai Erlang also said: "Mr. Zhuang won't mind. He was standing there watching when we were digging the flower garden yesterday. He didn't get angry at all. Maybe Mr. Zhuang has the same aesthetic taste as Manbao and likes wild flowers and weeds."
The main reason is that he doesn't want to dig anymore.
Manbao and Baishan didn't want to either, so they squatted on the ground together, raised their heads and looked at Madam Liu sincerely.
Old Madam Liu was being stared at by three pairs of eyes. She was confused for a moment and then nodded in agreement in a daze.
Manbao and the other two smiled widely and didn't leave. Instead, they crowded around Old Madam Liu and said, "Grandma Liu, let's have lunch and dinner here today."
Madam Liu also liked the hustle and bustle. Hearing this, she touched her head, nodded, and smiled, "Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes."
"Grandma, I will come over every day to have lunch and dinner with you."
Old Madam Liu's eyes were slightly warm, and she smiled and nodded, "Okay, Manbao and Erlang come over too. It will be hot soon, and I'll ask the kitchen to make cheese for you then."
The next update will be at 10pm
